Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A phenomenon surfaced in the sky and earth as the level of spiritual power in the atmosphere spiked.
Shen Ying had been in the middle of having lunch. Just when she picked up a piece of meat, the earth suddenly trembled and the mountains swayed, causing her hand to shake and the meat in her hand to drop to the ground.
What a waste…
At the side, Yi Qing picked up another piece of meat and placed it into her bowl calmly.
Great chef!
Just as Shen Ying was about to eat, however, Lonemoon suddenly rushed in with burning impatience.
“Shen Ying, did you guys sense the commotion just now?”
“Earthquake?” She tilted her head.
“Earthquake your head!” Lonemoon glared at her.
“Master, the level of Spirit Qi in the east has spiked.” Yi Qing raised his head and looked towards the right, explaining in a solemn voice, “A unique treasure is most likely descending into the world.”
“That’s right, and judging from the disturbance, this item can’t be anything small.” Lonemoon continued excitedly, “You guys hurry and pack up. We’ll go over to check it out.”
“Get ready for what?” Shen Ying raised her head.
“To get ready to go over there, of course!” Lonemoon habitually answered. “A unique treasure has descended into the world. No matter what it is, it’s an item with no Master. The sooner we arrive there, the greater our advantage.”
“Do we need those?”
“Don’t we need it?”
“Is there a need?”
“…” Lonemoon hesitated for a moment before he thought of something.
Holy shit! They really didn’t need it!
Besides him and Yi Qing, the rest of them in the Invincible Sect were Body Cultivators. Body cultivation focused on pure energy, so Dharma artifact and spirit treasures were not of any use to Body Cultivators. The only things useful to them would be small doses of spirit herbs and elixirs, but even those were only useful for emergencies when they were on the verge of death; moreover, the one thing that the whole Invincible Sect had the most was spirit herbs.
There was a ready treasure right in front of them, but not a single one of them could use it. This feeling was…
Lonemoon faintly felt as if his head been doused with a bucket of cold water, all his prior excitement vanishing. After having been in the Blackheaven Sect for so long, he was used to fighting for resources. To suddenly be equipped with a cheat was so lonely!
“I’m also hungry.” He immediately took the remaining rice for himself and sat down, his heart full of indignation. He glanced over at a certain foodie and could not help but nag, “In the afternoon, you bring the disciples to the back of the mountain to harvest the radish… spirit herbs.” He then took out a note and passed it to her. “This is a checklist. Harvest them according to the numbers on it, not one herb less.”
“Pulling out radishes?” Shen Ying hesitated. “How about I get rabbit to…”
“No!” Lonemoon glared at her coldly, cutting off her intention to slack off. “They are demons, so they are surrounded by demonic aura. This batch of radishes—pu… these spirit herbs are to be given to the Xuan Yuan Family to refine pills, so they can’t be polluted with demonic aura. You have to go.”
“So troublesome. Can we not harvest them?”
“Not harvest?!” He sneered as he scanned her over. “Do you think it’s such an easy thing to maintain the normal operations of a sect? If we don’t harvest radishes, how are we going to get spirit stones?”
“Uh… Is our expenses very huge?” She didn’t like shopping either.
“You have the audacity to say that!” Lonemoon exploded immediately. “Isn’t it all your fault? Look at the entire Upper Azure World, no look at the entire Azure World. Which immortal sect spends 80% of their expenditure on food?” If we aren’t going to earn money, are we going to sit idle and eat?
“The main point is, I could’ve turned a blind eye to it if you were the only one eating like that…” He scanned over left and right at the girls who were scooping up rice. “But you freaking brought the whole sect along in eating? As the sect master, don’t you know that eating does not help them in cultivation?”
“Uh… they’re one of us. It’s not nice to just eat by myself right?” She looked up at the bowl of rice in his hand, inwardly thinking: don’t you eat everyday too?
“Alright, I shall not fight about this with you.” He took in a deep breath and turned around to point at Feng Ying who was to the right, asking, “But what happened to this fellow? Why is he still here?” And using the cutlery that he always used!
