A Biography of the Liu Family in Peach Blossom Mountain

Chapter 20: Post-War Inventory

Afterwards, Elder Liu Qiushui led the clan's cultivators to clean up the devastated Spirit Fruit Orchard. They picked the intact spirit fruits, cleared away the broken branches and withered leaves, and collected the fruit cores left behind by the Demonic Beasts.

After counting, it was found that forty percent of the spirit peaches in the orchard had been taken by the Demonic Beasts, resulting in a minimum loss of 1,300 spirit peaches.

After picking the remaining spirit peaches, Elder Liu Qiushui led the clan's cultivators to quickly support other picking teams.

At this time, there were not many Demonic Beasts left on Peach Blossom Mountain.

The clan's cultivators, without any worries, became bloodthirsty and relentlessly attacked any Demonic Beast they encountered.

Liu Zhangxu saw a lone Black Mountain Bear and chased after it, launching a fierce attack. This Black Mountain Bear was one of the two injured bears they had fought earlier.

As the Black Mountain Bear excelled in close combat, Liu Zhangxu continuously used his sword technique from a distance, using the Longquan Sword to attack the bear's wounds and vital points.

The Black Mountain Bear had a strong physical body but lacked agility. Under the powerful attacks of the flying sword, its injuries became increasingly severe.

The Black Mountain Bear fought while running, but as its injuries worsened, it ran slower and was soon caught up by Liu Zhangxu.

Unable to escape, the Black Mountain Bear became furious and turned around to unleash its demonic technique, the Black Mountain Palm. When the palm, as large as a small mountain, attacked Liu Zhangxu, he was already prepared and swiftly evaded using his light body technique.

Afterwards, Liu Zhangxu quickly dealt the final blow, causing the Black Mountain Bear to wither and lose its power to counterattack. It was soon killed by Liu Zhangxu using the Longquan Sword.

Liu Zhangxu put the dead Black Mountain Bear into his storage bag and discovered that many clan cultivators were also hunting Demonic Beasts like him. Stronger clan members hunted Demonic Beasts alone, just like Liu Zhangxu, while weaker clan members formed groups to hunt Demonic Beasts.

At this time, the battle on Peach Blossom Mountain was coming to an end.

After the battle, Liu Zhangxu bid farewell to Elder Liu Qiushui and Elder Liu Shisheng and returned home.

After the Spirit Peach defense battle ended, Clan Chief Liu Baishan immediately summoned the clan elders to the clan's meeting hall for a meeting to discuss post-war matters.

During the meeting, Elder Liu Qiusheng reported the gains and losses of the clan's picking activities.

A total of 17,216 Rank One Low Grade spirit peaches were harvested this time, along with 3,210 Rank One Middle Grade spirit peaches and 536 Rank One High Grade spirit peaches. They killed 136 Rank One Low Grade Demonic Beasts, 28 Rank One Middle Grade Demonic Beasts, and 2 Rank One High Grade Demonic Beasts.

Five clan cultivators died in battle, three spirit peach orchards were breached, resulting in a loss of approximately 9,560 spirit peaches. The losses were indeed severe.

Compensation would be given to the fallen clan cultivators.

Among the harvested spirit peaches, 9,215 were unable to be stored in jade boxes and needed to be quickly brewed into Peach Blossom Wine.

In addition to being used by the clan, the harvested spirit peaches could also be sold externally. They could sell 300 crates (5,400) Rank One Low Grade spirit peaches, 50 crates (900) Rank One Middle Grade spirit peaches, and 5 crates (90) Rank One High Grade spirit peaches. Some materials from the killed Demonic Beasts could also be sold externally.

Therefore, the clan needed to organize a merchant caravan to travel 18,000 miles to the Purple Forest Market. The Purple Forest Market was a market built by the Azure Cloud Sect, and only there could they sell the spirit peaches at a good price.

Most importantly, the clan was preparing to purchase Foundation Building Pills. Liu Zhangxu's father, Elder Liu Shihao, had already cultivated to the Qi Refining stage, so as long as they could purchase Foundation Building Pills, they could achieve Foundation Building at the market.

As for why they didn't return to the clan for Foundation Building, it was obvious that the journey was too dangerous. Aside from the Demonic Beasts along the way, the most dangerous were the attacks from Demonic Cultivators.

As soon as news of Foundation Building Pills spread, it would definitely attract a large number of Demonic Cultivators' attacks. It would be extremely difficult to return home alive. Therefore, many cultivation clans would achieve Foundation Building at the market after auctioning off Foundation Building Pills.
