Changsheng Xiuxian: I can see through everything

Chapter 49: Poisonous Insect Corpses (Please Read More)

The Xu family team took a flying boat and returned along the same route.

Two days later, when they arrived at the Western Army camp, everyone was dumbfounded.

It was deserted, not a single person was in sight; everyone had left.

There is discarded garbage everywhere.

There are also some newly built tombs.

Desolation.

"What's going on?"

The army heading west suddenly withdrew.

"Our communication jade token is damaged, and we have been unable to contact you."

The Xu family member in charge of communications explained hesitantly.

"Forget it, let's go back to the market!"

Xu Anjing said.

Next, the flying boat slowly moved forward.

To prevent any accidents, Xu Anjing specially asked Chen Xuan to summon a swarm of poisonous bees to fly in front of the flying boat as a guard.

After so many things happened, Xu Anjing respected Chen Xuan more and more.

It's no longer just superficial politeness.

He doesn't have the arrogance of a child from aristocratic family.

Occasionally, he would accompany Chen Xuan and Yu Qingsong for a drink.

Tell some of your own stories.

Once, I drank a little too much spirit wine.

He began to brag.

"Brother Chen Xuan, I'm a loser, I admit it!"

“But my second brother has the potential to establish a foundation and entered the late stage of Qi training at the age of twenty-one!”

"He advanced steadily, step by step, without using any rank-breaking elixirs!"

"The ancestor said that if everything goes well, my second brother will hopefully be able to establish his foundation when he's forty!"

Chen Xuan listened, smiled and said nothing.

These days, Xu Anjing has suffered too many blows and his reputation in the clan has plummeted.

As a leader, if you lose your troops and gain nothing, no matter how many excuses you give, it is ultimately because you are incompetent.

In fact, this really cannot be blamed on Xu Anjing.

It is normal to gain nothing from the land reclamation due to bad luck.

"By the way, Brother Chen Xuan, how did you escape from the demon cultivator that day?"

Escape?

Chen Xuan looked at Xu Anjing who was a little drunk, and then looked at Zhong Bo who was at the helm in front but paying attention to this place.

Suddenly I understood.

At no time should we underestimate the desire for power of children from aristocratic families.

As far as Chen Xuan knew, killing a demon cultivator and reporting to the sect would earn him a certain amount of merit.

"The green snake killed the demon cultivator!"

Chen Xuan said lightly.

"Ah!" Xu Anjing exclaimed in surprise, but soon put on a smile again.

"Brother Chen Xuan, if you kill the demon cultivators and seize the demon weapons, and hand them over to the sect, you will gain merit from the sect."

"I know."

"Whether it's a magic weapon or a sect's merit, it's of little use to Brother Chen Xuan. But for my family, it's very useful."

"Oh." Chen Xuan did not comment.

It was nothing more than taking credit, and he didn't mind it.

As long as the benefits are sufficient, he can give up all the credit and spoils.

For the same thing, the identity of the reporter is different and the merits obtained are different.

The key is how it works.

Chen Xuan, who was well-versed in history books, had already known about this kind of thing.

During this land reclamation, the Xu family only harvested dozens of evil-faced flying eagle corpses and nothing else.

The losses were too great, including two members of the clan.

This has not yet been counted, not to mention the numerous casualties among the spiritual beasts and the precious talismans consumed.

This trip was completely beyond our means.

Xu Anjing is also a character.

He quickly got rid of his sadness and set his sights on Chen Xuan.

"Mr. Xu, please speak frankly."

"Brother Chen Xuan, you will give the credit for killing the demon cultivator to our Xu family. We will purchase your spoils at a high price. In addition, we will allocate two hundred poisonous insect carcasses and venom essence to you every month to pay off the debt. Brother Chen Xuan does not need to spend a single spirit stone."

"Don't you only get fifty poisonous insect carcasses every month?"

"Brother Chen Xuan, don't worry. I will transfer the difference directly from Wanshou Ridge. There will be absolutely no problem."

Chen Xuan glanced thoughtfully at the other cultivators in the flying boat. "They have no objections!"

Xu Anjing smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Chen Xuan is our savior. No one will care about such a small matter."

"What about time? There has to be a deadline."

"Ten years! After ten years, we can discuss the situation again. How about that?"

"What if you're transferred?"

"Don't worry, the contract was signed in the name of the Xu family of Wanshouling, and we will strictly abide by it. The Xu family of Wanshouling has a reputation for being trustworthy."

"Let me think about it." Chen Xuan did not agree on the spot.

"Okay, Brother Chen Xuan, think about it carefully."

Xu Anjing is quite sincere.

In his heart, Chen Xuan was actually inclined to agree.

Things like sect merits are of little use to him.

He doesn't want to join the sect for the time being.

Without any background, if one joins the sect reluctantly, he will become a low-level slave in the sect, silently devoting himself to those talented people with good family backgrounds.

One careless move and you become the scapegoat.

There are many things that others can do but you cannot.

Or maybe, they recruit you to join their gang just to make you the scapegoat at any time.

By the same token, if he reported the merit of killing the demon cultivator, as a mere casual cultivator, the benefits he could gain would be very limited.

Xu Anjing is different.

After all, he is a descendant of a noble family and has deep connections in the sect.

If it is run well, the merits you deserve will not decrease, but may even increase.

Next, the flying boat headed eastward.

On the way, they encountered several pioneering teams, all of which were in a miserable state and suffered heavy casualties.

After some communication, Xu Anjing realized that the western army was once again under fierce attack by evil birds and beasts.

Fortunately, the three foundation-building masters who led the team personally stayed behind to fight to the death.

This gave the pioneering monks some time to catch their breath, and most of them retreated safely.

A small number of cultivators became food for evil birds and beasts.

After receiving the exact news, the Xu family team did not dare to stay and galloped all the way in the flying boat.

Before he knew it, Chen Xuan had been on the flying boat for three days.

It’s only a day’s journey to Huifang City.

During these three days, Xu Wan'er always revolved around Chen Xuan.

She pouted her lips, her eyes always showing pleading, her cheeks flushed with the unique blush of a young girl, and from time to time she would say, "Brother Xuan, help Sijiao!"

Chen Xuan was speechless.

He heard this sentence at least seven times in three days.

Xu Anjing turned a blind eye.

When Xu Wan'er said it for the eighth time, Chen Xuan couldn't help it anymore.

"Xu Wan'er, your four legs are fine. Just go back and rest for a few months and you'll be fine!"

Her demon insect, the four-legged lizard, had thick skin and flesh, and after a series of battles, she only suffered some minor injuries, which was considered lucky.

Most of the three-headed silver wolves of the Xu family were killed.

"But Four Legs is so pitiful! It's bleeding so much! Brother Xuan, I know you have a way. Help Four Legs! I will repay you!"

Chen Xuan took a look at Xu Wan'er's figure.

Small and exquisite, slim and slender.

The altitude is not high either.

It's too thin, not his style.

Looks good but not practical.

No, he had never thought about having anything to do with a female cultivator from an aristocratic family like Xu Wan'er.

If you really want to exchange skills, wouldn’t the fairies in Tianxiang Pavilion be better?

"The method is not easily passed on. I'm treating Sijiao, so you have to pay for the treatment!"

"Ah, medical expenses? Brother Xuan, I'm very poor!"

Chen Xuan rolled his eyes at her and waved her away.

Xu Wan'er had no choice but to take out the storage bag and pour out the items inside one by one.

Accidentally, the underwear was turned out, and it turned out to be embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water.

Xu Wan'er blushed and quickly put the item back into the storage bag.

A flying sword, seven spirit stones, two bottles of Peiyuan Dan, and some miscellaneous materials.

Chen Xuan only took a glance and knew that there was not much spiritual energy in those materials and they were worthless at all.

There is a round blue stone bead with a fine texture and a deep sea blue color. There is a mysterious natural pattern on the surface, emitting an extremely light and hazy glow.

"I want that bead!"

The voice of the psychic green snake sounded in the sea of consciousness.
