The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 534: Chapter 534 Inventory the Harvest_1

”Moro Shen, how can the cultivators in the city bully people so much!” Flower Fairy Ami pointed to the city gate, speaking indignantly.

Over a hundred thousand immortals, mortals, and creatures from the Outer Zone who were rescued from Emotion Valley had all left the Golden Flowery Realm. Now, they formed a thick, long line at the southern gate of the city, where they could enter only after their identities were verified and registered.

At this moment, for unknown reasons, a dozen low-rank cultivators from the line were in conflict with the local cultivators and were consequently surrounded and severely reprimanded.

”There’s no need to interfere.” Shen Mo sat cross-legged on a raised patch of ground several miles away, watching everything happening outside the city gate, and responded indifferently.

When a city of a million people suddenly sees an influx of over a hundred thousand outsiders, all sorts of disputes and chaos are bound to arise. It can be controlled temporarily, but not forever! Cultivators and Outer Zone creatures with Mana, after living in the city for a while, will either leave for other parts of Zhong State or return to their own forbidden lands once peace is restored in Zhong State. As for the rest of the mortals, it’s predetermined that they will settle in this city permanently. Forced to leave their homes and live under the protection of others, their lives as refugees are unlikely to be comfortable. However, this is still ten or even a hundred times better than being imprisoned and tortured to death by the Thousand-eyed clan. The adversities and injustices they will face in the future will seem trivial in comparison to matters of life and death.

Of course, if I planned to stay here for a long time, I wouldn’t mind expending some effort to help them further. But I can’t stay long. Even if I were to intervene forcefully now, as soon as I leave, the repressed resentment of the city’s people would erupt instantly, making such situations even worse. Besides, it’s already commendable that the white-haired old man and other local immortals and mortals are willing to take in these over one hundred thousand beings. It would be too unreasonable for me to make more demands of them with an imperious attitude!

The Flower Fairy clan, all born from the Mother Tree, inherently regarded each other as siblings and thus naturally had a hard time understanding the current situation. Therefore, Ami didn’t follow Shen Mo’s advice to ignore the scene. Instead, she quickly flapped her wings, flew over, and began to make insistent, high-pitched complaints as she started to negotiate with the city’s cultivators.

The strongest person in this city, the white-haired old man, was merely a middle-stage Spirit Sea Realm cultivator. Ami, however, was a late-stage Class III Flower Fairy. The city’s cultivators naturally treated her with deference, quickly bringing the injured Outer Zone cultivators into the city for resettlement and providing them with healing Elixirs. Afterward, she simply stayed at the city gate, taking on the role of supervisor.

Seeing this, Shen Mo smiled helplessly. He couldn’t really blame Ami for it.

WHOOSH!

A stream of Sword Light flashed from his body, slaying an evil cultivator who was passing by after fleeing from the debacle at Golden Light Ridge.

Placing the Demon Slaying Sword horizontally across his knees, Shen Mo shook the Soul Refining Flag, summoning an early-stage Class III Demon Soul General. He ordered it to fly out, devour the corpse and remnant soul of the evil cultivator, and bring back his belongings.

At this moment, the battles involving Class IV Demon Soul Generals like the Ghost Bride and several great demons were still ongoing... In the intense fighting, some of the weaker Class III Soul Generals constantly had their Soul Bodies shattered by the great demons; even several Class IV Demon Soul Generals, such as Master Hong Jue and the Gold Piercing Ghost, had ”fallen” once!

Shen Mo expended his Mana and True Yuan to summon them from the blood flag again, instructing the Class IV Demon Soul Generals imprinted with the Soul Splitting Rune to continue leading the charge into Golden Light Ridge. As time passed, the frequency of the Demon Soul Generals’ ”falls” steadily decreased. It was evident that those great demons had also expended a great deal of energy and were no longer in their prime state!

I am quite satisfied with this situation. I’m not greedy enough to think I can rely on my Demon Soul Generals to kill these great demons. As long as they can be held off while the battle remains undecided, that will be enough.

Next, while continuing to control the Ghost Bride and other Demon Soul Generals in their fight against the great demons, he also diverted part of his attention to start tallying up the spoils from this demon banquet!

The Universe Bags and storage treasures that had been kept in Ami’s Golden Flowery Realm were all opened. With his current soul strength, he could erase the Prohibition seals on most Universe Bags almost effortlessly. Only a small number of bags, those of higher quality, required Shen Mo to use a Realm Breaking Talisman. Various items were taken out and piled together, along with the magic treasures and other goods Shen Mo had previously collected directly into his own Universe Bag. After a rough assessment, he sorted them one by one.

Cultivation method jade slips and bone fragments were grouped together; magic treasures were in another pile; the extraordinary organs of Outer Zone demons in yet another; and Elixirs, talismans, corresponding spiritual medicines, Spirit Fruits, and metal and stone mineral deposits were each sorted into their own piles. These were all resources he could either use himself or sell directly.

There was also a heap of ”treasures” reeking of blood and emanating a dense, malevolent aura, piled haphazardly together. Their quantity was more than double that of the former pile, consisting entirely of demonic artifacts, flesh and blood Elixirs, flesh jerky and blood-related items, human skin talismans, and the like...

Shen Mo had no use for them and looked upon them with disdain. If these items were to scatter, they would cause endless harm. So, he simply activated his Pure Yang Pupil and incinerated these malevolent resources completely!

Previously, the Demon Soul Generals had devoured too many Evil Demons. From the current batch of resources alone, Shen Mo made another selection, picking out all the more valuable items that were difficult to find on the market. The remaining resources, which he didn’t need for the time being and were relatively common, were still worth several hundred thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

However, to convert all of them into Spirit Stones, he would need to find a larger immortal market. Unfortunately, Jiyun Town had also been swallowed by the Soaring Serpent and the Bizarre Dragon. Otherwise, Shen Mo wouldn’t have needed to trouble himself at all; he could have simply packaged these resources and handed them over to Shopkeeper Qian!

In addition, I also killed a Class IV early-stage Thousand-eyed Demon. Its body and soul are invaluable. I’ll wait until I have some free time to see if I can replicate the unique structure of the Thousand-eyed species and refine an exotic treasure that incorporates thousands of Spells. If successful, it will definitely greatly improve my forging proficiency. Even if it fails, I can still take its soul into the Soul Refining Flag, refine it into a Soul General, and then use a minor Heavenly Demon Soul General to Demon-corrupt it. It would transform into a Class IV Demon Soul General, still able to use its previous Spells and Skills!

Finally, there were the items obtained from trading with Evil Demons in Emotion Valley, such as the Chaotic Yuan Fruit and broken Immortal Clam shells.

The Chaotic Yuan Fruit is crucial for my grand plan of pill formation, so naturally, I won’t sell it. The broken shells of the Immortal Clam and the precious spirit gold ore I’ve collected will be used to reforge the Green Cloud Umbrella.

After expending considerable effort, Shen Mo finally finished tallying up all his gains, storing them in his Universe Bag in a categorized manner.

As for the cultivation method jade slips and bone fragments he obtained, he also roughly browsed through them. Most of them were low-grade Evil Magic, with only a few having any referential value. As for the cultivation methods of the Outer Zone creatures, he had obtained dozens of types. However, as a Human Cultivator, he couldn’t use them at all. Even understanding them was extremely difficult, so after a cursory glance, he stored all of them in his Universe Bag.
