Eternal Tale

As the days passed, the vast garbage dump of Xuanwei Heaven remained as usual, with foul air rising to the sky and people from the online store bustling around.

However, the garbage recycling plant at the foot of the distant barren mountain gradually became lively.

Mo Fuyang had returned and stood outside the recycling plant, greeting the arriving online store people and roughly calculating the numbers.

Most of them only brought a few pounds, with eyes full of skepticism, as if just testing the waters.

”Fellow Daoist Chu, three pounds, 75 mid-grade spirit stones.”

Mo Fuyang stood on the ground, smiling and cupping his hands, looking behind him, ”Fellow Daoist Qing Li, please bring them into the plant.”

Qing Li nodded with a smile and looked at Fellow Daoist Chu, ”Please.”

Fellow Daoist Chu’’s eyes lit up, ”Thank you, thank you.”

They then entered the recycling plant, which was quite spacious and empty. Fellow Daoist Chu slightly lowered his head, looking around.

The ground was mostly covered with various discarded materials, quite a lot.A red lion was running around, using mana to gather the trash into one place, its mane somewhat messy and dirty.

It was clearly doing the dirty and tiring work here.

Qing Li looked at it, cupped his hands, and respectfully said, ”Brother Lion, three pounds of Great Desolate Black God Crystal.”

Little Chi was still using mana, the empty plant echoing with rumbling sounds as it piled up the trash, making it easier for Brother Bull to decompose them all at once, which didn’’t take much time.

It didn’’t even look up, roaring, ”Leave it at the door, I’’ll handle it later.”

”Yes, Brother Lion!”

Qing Li’’s expression was full of excitement, always brimming with energy these days, as if reborn.

Fellow Daoist Chu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, quickly placing the materials at the door, not daring to waste time.

At this moment, 75 genuine mid-grade spirit stones suddenly appeared in the air, with pure, attribute-less spiritual power, definitely not inferior spirit stones.

Fellow Daoist Chu was overjoyed, cupping his hands towards all directions, ”Thank you, senior!”

He took the spirit stones and left, becoming more excited as he walked, not expecting what they said to be true.

He had to return to the garbage dump immediately; this was a golden opportunity of spirit stones falling from the sky, not to be missed.

Now, the news had spread around the garbage plant, earning a few hundred mid-grade spirit stones a year was no longer a dream!

It was just selling hard labor, but the return was dozens of times the original.

The online store people who hesitated within a thousand miles no longer doubted, all throwing themselves into searching the trash, not bothering with refining themselves, as if they had endless lifespans!

In the garbage plant, a small boat flew by, with three people standing on it, shouting towards the ground, ”Fellow Daoist Chu, you look like you just came back from the recycling plant, sold quite a few spirit stones, huh? Haha!”

He immediately snapped back to reality, showing an awkward smile, ”Haha, half a pound, half a pound.”

”Haha, we’’re going to another place, want to come? I heard there’’s a lot there.”

”I’’ll look around here first, thank you for your kindness.”

”Alright, if you find it tiring to search alone, come find us, there’’s strength in numbers.”

A burst of hearty laughter came from the small boat, ”I heard a fellow Daoist already earned three hundred spirit stones this month.”

”What?! Three hundred!”

Fellow Daoist Chu was shocked, this person was really something, ”Then I won’’t disturb you, fellow Daoists, I need to hurry and search too.”

The three on the small boat cupped their hands with a smile and disappeared into the sky with a whoosh, each more excited than the last.

Fellow Daoist Chu sighed softly, his mana still somewhat weak, not as fast as others in searching, then plunged into the ocean of trash, exploring freely.

There were indeed too many discarded materials, finding quite a bit in just an hour, though the Great Desolate Black God Crystal content was too little.

But accumulating bit by bit, with the garbage recycling plant, everything was no longer a problem, and Fellow Daoist Chu’’s expression became increasingly excited.

...

Night.

In a corner outside the garbage recycling plant, a thatched hut stood, surrounded by formations, undisturbed by the cultivators coming and going at the main gate.

Moreover, there was a rule here at the garbage recycling plant: when the bright moon rose, no more purchases were made, come again tomorrow.

Mo Fuyang, Qing Li, and Qing Wan were meditating and cultivating outside the main gate of the garbage recycling plant, long accustomed to this environment.

And they were not afraid of being disturbed by others; speaking of safety, there was no place on Trash Island safer than the garbage recycling plant, no one dared to intrude, and most online store people were honest.

Chen Xun had given them a few bottles of Ancient Supreme Pill as this month’’s reward, the promotional effect was indeed good.

Tonight, a bonfire was lit outside the thatched hut.

Chen Xun, Black Bull, Little Crane, and Little Chi gathered together.

Little Crane sat on a small stool, holding a small booklet, and read aloud, ”Big brother, this month, we acquired 1132 pounds of Great Desolate Black God Crystal, spent mid-grade spirit stones, and earned mid-grade spirit stones.”

”Profit... mid-grade spirit stones.”

Little Crane covered her mouth, not daring to exclaim, ”Big brother, we’’re rich!”

Little Chi’’s face twisted with excitement, instinctively pulling out a tuft of its mane with its claws, having worked hard this month.

But it finally understood what efficiency meant; in their first year, they only found four hundred pounds.

But now, in just a month, they had nearly tripled that amount in a year, having to admire Xun’’s planning.

If it were up to it, it could only think of picking up trash.

”Moo~~!”

Black Bull slowly looked at Chen Xun, who was sitting on a rocking chair, eyes full of admiration, ”Moo moo!”

Chen Xun calmly sipped his health tea, his eyes unperturbed, ”I’’ve already made contact with Yun Jin, the spiritual herbs and pill recipes for enhancing divine sense will be delivered in the next transaction.”

”Moo moo~” Black Bull rubbed against Chen Xun, acknowledging that big brother had been running between Trash Island and Li Chen Island all month, working much harder than them.

Little Chi was responsible for organizing, it for decomposing, and Little Crane for accounting, while big brother was always running around outside.

”Big brother, we’’re rich!”

Little Crane stood cheerfully beside Chen Xun, reminding him again, ”We’’ll never lack spirit stones again.”

”Xun, your vision is truly unique, who would have thought picking up trash could earn so many spirit stones!”

Little Chi waved its claws, its shadow under the bonfire looking quite comical, ”And it doesn’’t even involve those big powers’’ interests.”

”Moo moo!”

”Hehe, this is just the beginning, half of the spirit stones will be spent on the spiritual herbs and pill recipes I need.”

Chen Xun calmly drank his health tea, a single emotion revealed in the depths of his eyes, and that was confidence, ”The garbage recycling plant is just starting, keep broadening your horizons.”

”All those things in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, we must buy them all, the Earth rank Thousand Mechanism Spirit Seal, I must have it!”

He snorted coldly, his aura gradually rising, ”Once I have the Earth rank Thousand Mechanism Spirit Seal, who dares to touch us? We have backing!”

”Above Void Refinement is Unity, above Unity is Great Ascension, and so on... They have resources, we buy resources, we don’’t rob, we don’’t fight, cultivation is all about safety!”

”Let all these great cultivators of the Three Thousand Great Worlds serve us, haha.”

”Moo~~!” Black Bull snorted, acknowledging Chen Xun’’s brilliance.

”Big brother said it well!”

”Xun, I have great strength, no matter how much trash comes, I’’ll organize it all!”

They cheered excitedly, Little Crane even clapping her hands, bouncing around beside Chen Xun’’s chair.

Suddenly!

The atmosphere outside the thatched hut instantly quieted, they all looked in the same direction outside the formation, their expressions calm, as if the previous excitement was just an illusion.

Chen Xun’’s eyes showed interest, Black Bull became honest and simple.

Little Crane slightly raised her head, eyes shimmering with a faint light, filled with indifference, Little Chi’’s expression turned sly, its eyes darting around.
