Chapter 279 Thick Earth Bears All Things (Thanks to [Master Du] for the many gifts!)

“That’s… the Nightmare Wolf King?”

“The Red Tiger Squad actually hunted down a Nightmare Wolf King?”

“This is a demon with over five hundred years of cultivation!”

When Chi Hu and his men carried the enormous carcass of the Nightmare Wolf King into the city, the scene immediately attracted the attention of those around them, and many of them exclaimed in surprise.

It’s important to understand that even the most powerful demon-hunting teams, such as those ranked in the top three, rarely manage to hunt down demons with over five hundred years of cultivation.

One reason is that they are difficult to kill.

The other is danger.

Although the Crimson Tiger Squad has some reputation in Dongqing City and even the entire loose cultivator market, it is not highly regarded because of its small number of members.

To put it bluntly, they don’t have much of an advantage compared to other monster-hunting teams, and they haven’t done anything that would attract attention before.

Of course, this time it was done, and it had a significant impact.

The monster they hunted was not only a demon with over five hundred years of cultivation.

Moreover, it is the Nightmare Wolf King, whom many independent cultivators greatly fear.

To kill it, you first need to defeat the dozens of Nightmare Wolves that never leave your side. It’s almost impossible to do without a large hunting team working together to hunt it down.

However, to everyone’s surprise, the Red Tiger Squad of only five people accomplished it.

From then on, Chi Hu and his companions’ fame skyrocketed.

At least in the short term, they are no less powerful than those high-ranking demon-hunting teams.

Strangely, Xu Changqing was not among them.

Why?

Although he wanted to show off his fire elemental root identity when he went out this time, he wasn’t stupid enough to make himself the focus of the entire city.

Everything that needed to be experienced has been experienced, and everything that needed to be done has been done.

Therefore, there’s no need to continue being high-profile; it’s time to return to a low profile.

They had long since left the group and returned to the inn where they had booked rooms.

After removing the illusion skin, he returned to being the ordinary rogue cultivator Cai Kun.

After dressing up, he stepped out of the room and headed straight for the trading area.

Now that I have awakened the Earth Spiritual Root, I need to purchase some Earth-attribute cultivation techniques and spells.

In this way, he can continue to loosen the soil in the spirit fields outside, while he can take care of the hundred acres of spirit fields in his personal space and be self-sufficient.

Soon, Xu Changqing arrived at the trading house.

Before the pretty receptionist could speak, he swept past her.

They didn’t even give people a chance to call him “Immortal Master”.

Fortunately, it wasn’t the first time, so the receptionist was used to it.

Xu Changqing activated the Reflection Mirror, selected the cultivation technique, and chose the earth attribute technique, and began to examine it carefully.

In the market town for independent cultivators, there are basically no complete cultivation techniques or spells; most of them are fragments.

The reason for this is that complete cultivation methods and spells are monopolized and rarely leak out.

Fortunately, there are more cultivation techniques and spells with the five elements attributes than with different spiritual roots.

Five earth-attribute cultivation techniques were laid out before Xu Changqing.

They are:

Thick soil carries all things

This technique allows cultivators to regulate the earth’s energy through the circulation of spiritual power, enhancing their perception and control over earth-attribute spiritual energy, thus laying a solid foundation for further cultivation of earth-based spells.

Body Refining Technique of Sinking Rock

By tempering the physical body with earth-elemental spiritual energy, one can achieve a later stage where the bones and muscles become as hard as black iron rock, and a protective earth-yellow light shield naturally forms on the body’s surface.

Kunyuan Houtu Jing

It emphasizes the power of “Earth Mother’s nurturing” and can stimulate the earth’s energy within a radius of ten miles.

Wan Shi Gui Zong Lu

Specializing in manipulating various ores, they can identify thousands of rock and soil properties and even activate mineral veins to aid in battle.

Earth-Splitting Return to Origin Technique

Spiritual energy is transmitted like seismic waves, and it excels at group attacks and terrain destruction.

Xu Changqing raised an eyebrow: “I didn’t expect that there would be such a wide variety of earth-attribute cultivation techniques.”

In the past, he might have been picky and only chosen one option.

But now I have money in my pocket.

Therefore, whichever movie you like, just buy it.

Thick earth carries all things, the Kun Yuan Thick Earth Classic, the Record of Ten Thousand Stones Returning to Their Origin.

There are three cultivation techniques in total, all of which are high-level incomplete versions, and their combined price is less than 50 low-grade spirit stones.

Next, Xu Changqing began selecting earth-attribute spells, this time with even more varieties.

Earth Dragon Roar

He formed hand seals, consuming the earth elemental power in his dantian, and summoned a rolling dragon phallus. The dragon opened its mouth and spewed out a shockwave mixed with gravel, with a range of 10 zhang and a knockback effect.

Ground Spikes

It draws upon the earth’s energy to condense hundreds of earth spikes, which can protrude from the ground or fly into the air to cover a certain area before falling, causing extremely high damage, but its weaknesses are also very obvious.

Earth Fissure Technique

Centered on itself, it causes the ground to collapse with a radius of 8 zhang, forming a circular ditch. If the enemy does not jump up in time, they will fall into the pit, which is about 3 to 5 zhang deep, depending on the environment.

Thousand-Layer Rocky Mountain

It generates a thousand-layered rock wall that can withstand attacks during the Foundation Establishment stage. When it is broken, it will explode, shooting out fragments of rock to obstruct the enemy’s vision.

There are also: Earth Listening Technique, Quicksand Cage, Mountain-Penetrating Escape, Earth Turbulence, and so on.

Because they are all incomplete, and can only be cultivated to one or two levels, the price is relatively cheap.

Xu Changqing prioritized his own needs and thus made a choice quickly.

They are: Roaring Earth Dragon, Quicksand Cage, and Mountain-Penetrating Escape.

One is a low-level fragment, and two are high-level fragments.

In total, that’s exactly 44 low-grade spirit stones.

After buying it, I turned around and left.

Only then did the female receptionist have a chance to speak: “Welcome back next time, Immortal Master!”

…

…

After leaving the trading post, Xu Changqing began to inquire about the price of spirit rice in the market for independent cultivators.

To my surprise, it was cheaper than before.

My dear reader, there’s more to reading—even more exciting content awaits!

First-class Lingmi

Inferior 1:10

Premium 1:8

Top-quality 1:5

Second-grade Lingmi

Inferior is 1:3

The ratio of premium to high-quality is 1:2.5.

The best quality is 1:1.5.

Except for Grade 2 Spirit Rice, which has fallen more slowly, Grade 1 Spirit Rice has returned to a 1-for-10 exchange rate.

This is exactly the same as when Xu Changqing was first promoted to a permanent position.

Clearly, as the official disciple competition of the Immortal Sect gradually comes to an end, the prices of everything are slowly decreasing, returning to their previous levels.

As a result, the number of Immortal Sect disciples coming to the scattered cultivator market to buy or exchange rice has decreased significantly.

This was good news for Xu Changqing, at least it was profitable, and he could buy more things for less money.

With a wave of his hand, he directly bought three thousand catties of second-grade high-quality spiritual rice.

They intend to use all of it to brew high-quality Ling rice wine.

Selling alcohol is now his most profitable business.

Seeing that things were almost done, Xu Changqing found a secluded spot and began contacting Sun Peng.

“Fellow Daoist Cai?”

“I am coming!”

“Alright, let’s meet at Panchun Tea House!”

After agreeing on an address, the two ended their communication.

Afterwards, Xu Changqing went straight to Panchun Teahouse.

Since it wasn’t my first time here, I was familiar with everyone from the waiter to the manager.

Although Xu Changqing was dressed as an ordinary rogue cultivator, he was highly regarded by Sun Peng of the Sun family, and the two of them would come to the third-floor private room B here for tea every month.

Xu Changqing entered first, and a while later Sun Peng arrived in a hurry with the account book.

Five hundred catties of top-grade spirit rice, or five mid-grade spirit stones—that has never changed.

As for the three thousand catties of high-quality spirit rice wine, a total of forty-five thousand low-grade spirit stones were sold.

Converted to mid-grade spirit stones, that’s four hundred and fifty.

Xu Changqing received 70% of the total profits, and therefore obtained 315 mid-grade spirit stones!
