Banshee Family Training Record

Page 71

As she spoke, she became somewhat shy. As her cultivation level increased, the emotions she could express became increasingly complex.

Yun Chu'an frowned slightly, then sighed softly, "Tonight, I still have to go to the Huang Mang family... Please wait for me to come back."

He had to deliver goods to the three Diao brothers and pick up a month's worth of production materials. Diao Desi was alright, but his two older brothers, De'er and De'san, were incredibly stingy. Every time he was given materials, they would be extremely stingy, trying every possible way to get more out of him.

Yun Chu'an's assessment of this was that, compared to the purple hydrangea, these two guys' vision was truly short-sighted.

However, he wasn't angry about it, since he hadn't planned to cooperate with these guys long-term anyway.

Now that he has such a convenient opportunity, he feels he would be letting himself down if he didn't make a killing.

"Ow."

Qi Qiao calmed down and responded with some disappointment, but did not refute him and listened quietly to what he said.

Seeing this made Yun Chuan feel a little guilty. He kissed her little face again and promised, "I will come back to be with you soon."

This sentence finally made the zombie happy again. He saw Qi Qiao off, then went out of the cave, basked in the sun for a while to replenish his spiritual energy, and then returned to the cave to continue printing.

Time passed by, and before long, dusk was falling. Inside the cave, looking at the rat demons who were exhausted and dizzy, Yun Chu'an was generous and distributed one hundred low-grade spirit stones to each of them, saying, "Take these and cultivate. Work is finished, you can go and rest now."

The little mice were overjoyed. Although they were exhausted from a long day of intense work, it was all worth it to receive these spirit stones as a reward.

He did indeed give a lot; even Ziyangcai, who was at the seventh level of Qi Refining, had privately remarked on his generosity more than once.

His talismans and printing techniques were things she had never seen before, completely beyond her imagination, leaving her in awe and wonder.

In response, Yun Chu'an simply explained, "The foundation of a large family is beyond your imagination," which made Zi Yangcai no longer doubt him and even more convinced of his sincerity.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She could clearly feel that her family was becoming more and more prosperous than ever before.

In short, the little mice accepted the spirit stones, expressed their gratitude profusely, and left the cave, heading towards their nests. Yun Chu'an breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the machine at the very back, where three thick stacks of three hundred pre-packaged Vajra talismans were placed.

These are the results of their work over the past few days. The materials they obtained from the snake demons, combined with the raw materials they collected themselves, are enough to create so many talismans.

If he hadn't needed to keep some spirit stones in reserve and dared not print at high speed regardless of cost, the quantity would have doubled.

He took out ten talismans from the three hundred talismans, put them into his dimensional bag, and called out to Hua Caiyan, asking her to take away the remaining talismans.

Afterwards, he changed his clothes and went out alone, without even having dinner, heading straight for the lair of the Yellow Python family, the Ten Thousand Snake Cave.

There were still dozens of miles of mountain road in between. He would travel this road every three or four days, and he knew it like the back of his hand. In less than ten minutes, with the help of "shrinking the earth into an inch", he leisurely arrived at his destination.

Arriving in front of the familiar arched gate, he managed his expression, making himself look smug and triumphant.

He wore a brocade round hat and a robe of silk and satin, adorned with a crimson tassel and dazzling gemstones, looking like a nouveau riche who had suddenly struck it rich.

He walked to the gate, and the snake demon at the second level of Qi Refining who was guarding the gate saw him and immediately showed a fawning smile: "Oh, Master Mi, you've come again!"

"Hmm!" Yun Chu'an raised his head, looking down on everyone, and tossed a low-grade spirit stone into the snake demon's hand. "Lead the way. As usual, I'm here to see Master Diao Si!"

The little snake's eyes lit up, and it quickly expressed its gratitude profusely. Within the snake demon family, there was a clear hierarchy; disciples like this snake demon, lacking talent and quite lazy in their cultivation, generally didn't receive much in cultivation subsidies.

Now, a few flattering words are all it takes to get a spirit stone, which is a considerable amount of pocket money for them. Immediately, the snake demon became even more enthusiastic in his flattery.

Yun Chu'an understood this perfectly, which is why he was so generous and casual in his spending. He never minded spending a little money to gain some convenience in his dealings with others.

They walked into the long corridor, about to enter the main hall of the Ten Thousand Serpent Cave. Suddenly, he stopped, turned to the serpent demon guarding the gate, and said, "Outside, you called me Master Mi and I'd throw you spirit stones. But once we're inside, what will you call me?"

The snake demon, ever the opportunist, quickly said, "I'll call you Mickey Mouse! I'll call you Mickey Mouse! Haha, none of us can outshine the Diao family masters!"

Yun Chu'an looked satisfied and tossed him another spirit stone: "A smart person deserves a reward!"

The snake demon's face lit up with even more joy as it accepted the gift and thanked the demon profusely. Yun Chu'an composed himself, his expression becoming obsequious, and followed the little demon into the cave, heading straight for the room of the three Diao brothers.

As soon as he arrived, he saw several non-snake demon cultivators loudly demanding, "Second Master, you've had the deposit for so many days, when will this thing arrive?"

"Yes, seven hundred low-grade spirit stones for one talisman is really not cheap. When will we be able to get the goods?"

"Our family is about to take action, but we haven't been able to get the Vajra Talisman yet. Should we even fight this battle?"

Chapter 170 failed to get Yan Shui to use her full strength...

Among these demon cultivators were humanoid creatures with eagle heads and wings, creatures with wild boar heads and brown fur, and giant black rats completely different from those in Ziyangcai's family. Now, they were all shouting and begging for it.

After confirming that as long as the materials were available, the mouse "Mickey" could reliably provide the Vajra Talismans, the three brothers started this business.

As soon as the news was released, it was warmly welcomed by Huang Mang's allies. After all, this was a precious means of survival, which was incomparable to those offensive methods!

The real world is not a video game; no one has a second chance. Everyone only has one life. Therefore, these talismans are far more popular than the three Diao brothers had imagined. They sell for 700 spirit stones each, yet they are still in short supply!

Seeing the numerous buyers urging him on, Diao Desi looked anxious, but De'er and De'san were not in a hurry at all. They gestured for everyone to be quiet: "Calm down! Calm down! This talisman can't be drawn in a short time. We will be able to deliver the goods to everyone soon!"

"Don't worry, we'll definitely be able to deliver a batch tonight!"

The two of them were talking in unison when Diao Desi glanced over and his eyes lit up: "Mickey's here!"

As he spoke, his eyes were eager, and he ran to Yun Chu'an's side, pulling him over: "How many paintings have you drawn these days? Hurry up and take them all out, they're urging us to have them!"

Yun Chu'an looked ashamed and took out the ten talismans from his dimensional bag: "I am ashamed, my lord. I have devoted myself to this for the past three days, and I have only managed to draw these ten Vajra Talismans..."

"That's enough." Diao Desi snatched it away, turned around and walked to the group. "Everyone line up, in the order of who received their deposit first. Don't try to cut in line!"

His second brother suddenly announced loudly, "Only ten talismans arrived today, and that's all for now. Of course, if any of you are really in a hurry and are willing to pay an extra fifty spirit stones, we brothers can make an exception and allow them to cut in line!"

Some buyers were dissatisfied, but others obediently paid extra spirit stones, took their share of the golden talisman first, and then turned and left.

The ten golden talismans were snapped up in the blink of an eye, and the remaining people, seeing that it was completely impossible to get the goods they wanted today, dispersed one by one in disappointment.

The three Diao brothers were so happy they could hardly close their mouths. They had earned more than seven thousand spirit stones. Even after deducting all costs, each of them would receive a net profit of more than one thousand spirit stones. Even for their cultivation level, this was a considerable sum.

After all, they did almost nothing except collect money throughout the entire process!

Diao Desi patted Yun Chuan on the shoulder and exclaimed repeatedly, "Brother, you're truly our lucky charm!"

De San also smiled, but he struggled to suppress his laughter and put on a dissatisfied expression: "It's still a bit slow, Mickey. Can't you think of a way to speed things up and send us twenty or thirty sheets next time?"

Yun Chu'an inwardly cursed these guys for being greedy, but on his face he showed a troubled expression: "My lord, my cultivation is too low, I really can't do it!"

De Er quickly stepped in to play the good cop, saying, "Brother Mickey has been working hard these past few days and is already very tired. Third brother, please don't blame him anymore."

Diao Desi grabbed Yun Chuan's arm and asked, "Have you eaten? I knew you were coming today, so I told the kitchen to prepare some food. Come on, let's have a couple of drinks!"

This was his habit; every time he made a big profit after a transaction, he would be overjoyed and keep drinking with him.

Yun Chu'an nodded with delight, but just then, a commotion erupted outside: "Open the door! Open the door now!"

"Open the healing blood pool! He's about to collapse!"

"Just hang in there a little longer, you'll get treatment soon!"

……

A chaotic scene erupted at the entrance as two Foundation Establishment stage snake demons flew into the cave in human form. The one in front carried the upper body of a person, while the one behind carried the lower body and legs, rushing inside in a hurry.

At this moment, the man whose body had been split in two was clearly critically injured and on the verge of death, his mind in a daze, yet he still kept muttering to himself, as if he had a thousand words to say: "Ah, I'm so sorry I didn't let Yan Shui use her full strength..."

Yun Chu'an sensed the spiritual energy fluctuations of the Foundation Establishment stage, as well as the cultivation aura that was even stronger than the Foundation Establishment stage. His expression immediately changed, and then he naturally acted like a field mouse, shrinking behind Diao Desi and trembling, as if he was terrified that he might be eaten suddenly.

But in reality, he was incredibly curious. That snake demon, clearly much stronger than a typical Foundation Establishment cultivator and very likely a Golden Core cultivator, was now on the verge of death in this miserable state…

What happened to him?

Diao Desi noticed his fear and quickly pulled him into the guest room next door, closing the door behind him. He said, "It's alright, it's alright. These kinds of things happen all the time. If we go out often in the future, we'll inevitably encounter similar things!"

Yun Chu'an's expression remained calm, then turned curious. He looked at Diao Desi and asked in a low voice, "Sir, what exactly happened outside? Could it be that our family..."

He lowered his voice, not daring to actually utter that terrible hypothesis. Diao Desi waved his hand, shaking his head repeatedly: "I don't know, it has nothing to do with us, um..."

As he spoke, he revealed a hint of curiosity and interest, then waved his hand and shook his head, saying, "Forget it, let's not talk about this now, let's eat first!"

Yun Chu'an nodded, knowing he couldn't rush things. Once he got the snake demon in front of him drunk, he would naturally tell him everything.

He didn't rush to speak, and soon, a feast of fish, meat, and fine wine was served. Diao Desi ate and drank heartily by himself, while Yun Chu'an dined with him.

Every time someone brought up wine and meat, the two of them would ask each other what was happening outside. If they didn't know, they would send the person over to inquire.

After several rounds of back and forth, the full picture of the situation was revealed to them.

The snake demon whose body was split in two was indeed a powerful cultivator at the Golden Core stage. His duty was to block Yan Shuiyi's escape route, and he did indeed intercept her on that route.

The only problem was that he never beat his opponent.

According to the snake demons who followed him, when Yan Shui used the same sword she used when fighting against the powerful reinforcements of the Corpse Driving Sect that day, the world seemed to lose its color in an instant, and the giant snake in the Golden Core stage was unable to block it and was cut in half at the waist on the spot!

Chapter 171 The Toad Family's Treasure

Fortunately, there were other clansmen around to help, and Yan Shui didn't have time to finish her off—perhaps she was already exhausted—in any case, after slashing with her sword, she quickly flew away.

The remaining snake demons were terrified, as if they had just escaped death. Naturally, they dared not give chase. They simply picked up the golden serpent's body and headed home, hoping to save its life.

And so, that's how the incident just happened.

After summarizing all this information, Yun Chuan was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

After all, Yan Shui and the others were his friends. As long as he carefully hid Qi Qiao and didn't expose her identity, these people would be his solid allies and could provide him with a lot of help.

Now that they have successfully escaped, he is naturally overjoyed.

But along with that came worries about her mother-in-law.

The giant serpent was at the early stage of the Golden Core realm. When it met Yan Shuiyi, it could only be cut in half at the waist by her sword.

The mother-in-law, however, was only injured, but she was able to retaliate and severely injure Yan Shui, even forcing him to hide in Yan Shui's house to recuperate...

Just how strong is the mother-in-law's fighting power?

Before her Golden Core shattered, how high a realm had she reached? And how many techniques did she know that made her significantly stronger than an ordinary early-stage Golden Core cultivator?

Yun Chu'an was unclear about the details, but he felt that with the arrival of this good news, the pressure on his heart had become even heavier.

Diao Desi had no idea of ​​the complex worries in his heart, and thought that he was just feeling heavy-hearted because the people from Qingyun Sect had successfully escaped.

He sighed and said, "You don't need to worry too much. The elders said that the Qingyun Sect adheres to the principle of human supremacy and will exterminate non-human cultivators. So sooner or later, the thousands of demon cultivators in the Central Plains will join forces to eliminate them!"

As he spoke, his confidence gradually rose, and he said to him, "When the time comes, no matter if it's Yan Shuiyi or Nangong Wan, they will all become our meal!"

He made such a promise, but Yun Chu'an only glanced at him and didn't even bother to reply.

You? Unite thousands of demon cultivators?

Even those demon cultivator families in Zhao, those you betrayed, can you unite with them?

The human-centric approach may be wrong, but it's probably not up to a family like the Yellow Python to refute it.

He thought this through, forced a smile, but his face still betrayed his deep worry.

At this moment, Diao Desi suddenly said, "Oh right, you've been busy drawing talismans all day long, you must be tired of it, right?"

"Perfect timing! I have something to take care of. Another day, you can call your clan leader, and I'll call the other demon cultivators. Let's get it done together!"

He made that suggestion, but Yun Chuan wasn't really interested. He didn't think this guy could offer anything that would entice him.

Out of sheer boredom, he responded with an "uh-huh," saying, "What is it?"

Diao Desi said, "It's about that poisonous toad family. To be honest, that day was really dangerous. I never expected that they would have two people at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and three such powerful weapons. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what the outcome would have been."

Thinking of the fierce battle that day, he couldn't help but feel a surge of fear and excitement, so he said a few more words: "In short, after I came back that day, I was furious and questioned the family members about what was going on, that they couldn't even get this much information right."

"And guess what? When they investigated, the intelligence was correct, but the problem was that the family had recently acquired some kind of treasure, which is why they not only made rapid progress in their cultivation, but also acquired those three powerful weapons."

As he spoke, a greedy look appeared on his face: "The ones who were in charge of intelligence told me that these days, the few remaining toads in that family have been trying to figure out how to take away that suddenly appearing treasure, but no matter what methods they use, they can't take it away, so in the end they have to give up."

Yun Chu'an looked enlightened: "So, we should go to their house and take a look?"

Diao Desi nodded and chuckled, "That's right, we not only have to go there, but we also have to figure out a way to bring that treasure back!"

"Hehe, just because the short-sighted Toad family can't do something doesn't mean my Yellow Python family can't. That's exactly what our mission is this time. Oh right, Mickey, do you know a water-repelling spell?"

He suddenly remembered that the toad's lair was underwater, so he quickly asked. Yun Chu'an had actually learned it long ago. He was about to admit it, but then he thought that it was already absurd enough that a field mouse who lived on land all day could draw Vajra talismans. If he could also do this and that, it would be illogical.

Besides, he didn't really want to get involved in this mess anyway.

He shook his head and said, "I won't, and my two brothers are really pressing me for the goods. Uh, maybe I shouldn't go this time?"

He cautiously suggested, and upon hearing this, Diao Desi immediately frowned: "Ah, is that so... then I'll think about it some more."

He didn't completely rule out the possibility, so Yun Chu'an assumed he had given up. After finishing his meal, he took his leave, left the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, and returned to his own residence.

Tonight is the day his wife Qi Qiao makes her breakthrough, so he has to hurry back and celebrate with her.
