Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 1866: Chapter 920: One-Stop Service

Eighty-thousand Spirit Stones!

Even for Golden Core, it’s not a small amount.

Golden Core Realm Cultivators have many ways to earn Spirit Stones, but their consumption is equally high. Many Golden Core Cultivators might be worth millions or even tens of millions.

But that includes all Tao Cultivation assets like caves, magical treasures, spiritual artifacts, pills, etc. Eighty-thousand Spirit Stones in ready-to-flow currency, they might not be able to take out.

Let alone Mo Hua at the Foundation Establishment level.

From childhood to now, he has never ”earned” or even seen such a large amount of Spirit Stones.

Although strictly speaking, this remuneration should be Mr. Yuan’s.

But Mr. Yuan is no longer here; the subsequent ”tasks” were handled by himself, so it’s only reasonable for him to take this amount of Spirit Stones.

There’s no news from the Guest Elder opposite.

Elder You remained silent.

Mo Hua patiently waited with an expressionless face, but he couldn’t help feeling a bit uneasy.

This Elder You won’t renege, right?

The dignified Demon Sect wouldn’t be so stingy as to dock my eighty-thousand Spirit Stones, right...

Just as Mo Hua was feeling uneasy, Elder You straightforwardly sent a transmission: ”No problem, this is the reward Mr. Yuan deserves.”

Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

Elder You: ”How should I give the Spirit Stones to you?”

Mo Hua thought for a moment, ”It’s quite tense now, and other methods are inconvenient. Please trouble Elder You to put the Spirit Stones in a Storage Box, bury them on the southern slope fifty miles south of the Gubei Mountain, and erect a wordless tablet above it. I will figure out a way to retrieve them...”

Elder You paused for a moment: ”Mr. Yuan’s conduct is indeed thoughtful.”

Mo Hua sent a transmission: ”Please make sure, Elder You does not renege.”

Elder You: ”Naturally.”

”Then it’s settled.”

”Agreed.”

After the discussion, the chat ended, and Mo Hua put away the Guest Elder order, feeling quite pleasant.

Eighty-thousand Spirit Stones, soon to be in my pocket!

Striking a fortune!

Though there was some element of deceit, it wasn’t much; just a tad, and anyway, it was capturing demons to aid the Dao, a justified and righteous thing.

But after being happy for a moment, Mo Hua’s heart felt a bit puzzled:

”Spirit Stones from demon cultivators who slaughter like maniacs, are they this easy to earn?”

”Would Elder You plot against me?”

He thought if he were ”Elder You”, undoubtedly, he would plot against himself, by no means easily hand over eighty-thousand Spirit Stones.

This transaction isn’t that simple.

But the fat meat at the mouth, not taking a bite, how to know if it’s a trap or fat meat?

Eighty-thousand Spirit Stones, such a huge amount, even if it’s bait, it’s worth biting the hook.

”The question is, how to take it?”

If Elder You really plans an ambush, intending to put him in a bind, then once he shows his face, he’ll be in danger.

After thinking back and forth, Mo Hua found a way.

He went to find Elder Xun Ziyou and whispered: ”Elder, can you do me a favor?”

”Alright.” Elder Xun Ziyou readily agreed, ”What’s the favor?”

”Help me retrieve something,” Mo Hua said, ”There’s an empty mound on the slope fifty miles south of Gubei Mountain, with a wordless tablet on it. Dig up the tablet, and buried underneath is a box. Elder Xun, you bring the box to me.”

Elder Xun Ziyou paused for a while, ”Empty mound, wordless tablet, box?”

What is this all about...

Elder Xun Ziyou looked at Mo Hua skeptically, ”What are you scheming now?”

Mo Hua said: ”I’m earning some extra money.”

”Extra money?” Elder Xun Ziyou became interested, ”How much can you earn?”

”It’s hard to say yet, depends on whether the opposite side deceives me,” Mo Hua lowered his voice and said to Elder Xun Ziyou: ”If I earn it, I’ll give you a share.”

Elder Xun Ziyou was a bit amused.

A share.

You, a Foundation Establishment disciple, how much can you earn? At most, a few ten thousand. After splitting, who knows what’s left.

”You keep it.” Elder Xun Ziyou casually said, ”I’m an Elder, how could I want your Spirit Stones?”

If the Ancestor finds out, he’d definitely flay me.

”In a few days, I’ll help you get it.” Elder Xun Ziyou said.

”Okay, okay, thank you Elder Xun!” Mo Hua smiled.

Then, he warned again: ”But you should be cautious, there might be an ambush, or they might follow you with ill intentions.”

Elder Xun Ziyou raised his eyelid, ”An ambush?”

Mo Hua nodded, then sighed: ”These days, earning Spirit Stones is actually very difficult, any lucrative matter is accompanied by risks.”

That’s why he asked Elder Xun, who was at the late Golden Core stage, to run this errand.

In the Third-Grade State Boundary, even if a Golden Core Demon sets an ambush, with Elder Xun’s cultivation, there shouldn’t be much trouble.

As the saying goes, it’s good to find shade under the big trees.

Now being at the Taixu Gate, leaning against so many big trees, some risks don’t even need to be borne himself.

”Need to kill anyone?” Elder Xun Ziyou asked, ”If any unsighted knaves appear, I can cut them down for you with One Sword.”

”No need, no need.” Mo Hua shook his head repeatedly.

Killing would expose Elder Xun’s swordsmanship and instead draw suspicion from the Demon Sect, making it harder for him to blend in later.

”Just quietly bring the box to me, try not to expose your identity, and avoid any confrontation, stealthily, just like...”

Mo Hua pondered for a moment, ”Just like when you quietly followed me back then.”

Elder Xun Ziyou: ”...”

That unsightly ”bodyguard” history, he didn’t want to mention at all.

Mo Hua then went through several precautions, leaving this matter to Elder Xun Ziyou.

Days later, after unknown experiences, a slightly dusty Elder Xun Ziyou handed a redwood box to Mo Hua.

”There indeed was an ambush, two Golden Core, dressed in black, faces covered, their bodies reeked with sinister Blood Qi, seemingly Demon Cultivators, they followed me all the way.”

”I initially wanted to kill them, but held back, just circled around the mountains a few times to lose them.”
