Chapter 37: Returning to the Sect
After hearing what Little Fatty said, Han Ling Feng and Monkey’s eyes lit up. They immediately realised that Little Fatty’s words made a lot of sense. Since there is no point caring about the products of the spiritual rock mine, why not use it to exchange for a big contribution? With such a big contribution, the rewards of the sect would definitely be very ample. Being a person with merit, the sect would definitely give us special attention. At least, we do not need to worry about being harmed by others.
The Mystical Sky Yard is still a righteous sect no matter what. The disciples of the lower echelons would constantly fight over cultivation resources, even killing others in secret was not an uncommon sight. But in the upper echelons of the sect, in the realms of those who have achieved Dao, the cultivation of character is also very important. According to them, cultivating Dao is cultivating the heart. Only those who have their hearts aligned with the heavens can achieve the true essence of Dao.
Thus, once a disciple has committed great merits and attracted the attention of the upper echelons, he would definitely receive meticulous care and concern. There were similar examples before, when some of the outer court disciples obtained a heavenly treasure by chance and presented it to the sect. They immediately became an inner court disciple and were rewarded with a large amount of spiritual stones and magical artifact. The key is, once they received these treasures, safety was no longer a concern. Since the upper echelons began to pay attention, n.o.body dared to have any designs on them.
As such, Little Fatty suggested such an idea. After Han Ling Feng and Monkey both ruminated over it, they nodded their heads in agreement.
What transpired afterwards was simple. After discussion, the 3 of them began their exodus from Blood Raven Ridge. Although they had 5 element pure essence at the moment, they were reluctant to waste it on combat. Thus, they thought of an ingenious plan, which was to traversed underwater. Although the crater which the waterfall formed was not very deep, it was more than enough to submerge the 3 of them as they walked.
Of course, the river water would not block the sights of the Blood Ravens. Thus, they still had to s.h.i.+eld their heads with the black iron bell. Once the bell appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of the Blood Ravens. These guys really had a good memory, and they still remembered that the fellows who fought them from a few days ago had such an item. Thus when they saw the bell appear, they immediately surrounded over. They attacked the bell using various means while wailing. But their attack was still too weak. Be it their wings or talons, the black iron bell was impervious to all their threats. They would have been able to enter the bell from the base. But since they were of the bird family, the Blood Ravens could not swim.
Under such circ.u.mstances, regardless of how many Blood Ravens there were, it would not pose any threats to the trio. However, they were indignant, and continued attacking the 3 of them, Helpless, the 3 of them could only follow the river and continue downstream. Only after walking over a thousand miles, which was a few hundred miles away from the Blood Raven Ridge, did those pesky fellow give up.
A thousand over miles of journey, under normal circ.u.mstances on their flying swords, they would have reached in an hour. But because they were walking underwater, they spent over 5 days. In other words, the 3 of them spent 5 days submerged in water before finally escaping.
If not for the 5 element pure essence replenis.h.i.+ng their Qi, Little Fatty would not have been able to support such a heavy bell over his head for such a long period of time. The amount of 5 element pure essence which was spent was more than a catty. That was worth over 10,000 spiritual stones. Thus, the escape journey of the three of them could be said to be extremely extravagant.
However, at least they kept their lives. To the 3 of them who struck lottery, they could not be bothered with that amount of spiritual stones anymore.
Only after the Blood Ravens left, did the 3 of them emerged from the river. After a day of rest, they flew towards the Mystical Sky Yard.
