Chapter 54 Enchanting

"Thump!"

At that moment, a scream rang out from the sky. The red-haired demon cultivator was bitten in the body by a jade-colored dragon. Then, several other dragons bit parts of him and pulled him away with force.

His body was instantly torn into several pieces, and then streams of black energy surged outwards from his body.

Upon witnessing this scene, the numerous demonic cultivators below realized that the situation was hopeless and hurriedly fled in all directions.

Shen Xi roared and slammed the dice in his hand into the demonic cultivator opposite him.

The person he was fighting was also a Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, he used the momentum to turn around and escape.

"Don't pursue a cornered enemy!"

Ouyang Yue fell from the sky and casually threw the demonic cultivator's corpse on the ground, causing everyone to feel a chill.

"Collect everyone's bodies, and keep their belongings safe so they can be given to their families later."

The battle lasted for two days, with more than 30 people killed and hundreds more wounded, resulting in heavy losses.

"As for everyone, since you have fought hard to repel the demonic cultivators, you will naturally receive a reward."

Ouyang Yue clapped her hands and distributed the spiritual items to each person according to their achievements.

Xu Yuanlang killed three demonic cultivators, who were at the seventh, eighth, and ninth levels respectively. This achievement was extremely outstanding even among the many experts in the guards.

When the Chamber of Commerce distributed the rewards, Xu Yuanlang glanced at them and saw several first-grade high-quality spirit fruits, plus a few bottles of pills and hundreds of spirit stones. The rewards were very generous.

However, these spiritual objects were of no use to Xu Yuanlang.

He found Shen Xi and offered to use the rewards to buy the caravan's spirit items.

"That's rare. Generally speaking, cultivators mainly need these kinds of spiritual items. What do you want?"

Shen Xi thought about it for a moment. After all, he was the one who recruited him, and Xu Yuanlang's performance was good, so he felt proud. He agreed.

"The Qi of Xuanquan, the Qi of Fushui, or the Qi of Yunwai, the Qi of Fuguang, the Qi of Xuanhui, or the Qi of Danyan are all acceptable."

After hearing his introduction, Shen Xi clicked his tongue and shook his head helplessly.

"These things are all treasures, the five elements, rare things no matter where they are."

However, as far as I know, Miss Ouyang should possess the Qi of Dan Yan and the Qi of Xuan Hui, but she is a woman with discerning eyes and lacks nothing; it will probably not be easy for you to obtain them.

Xu Yuanlang saw Ouyang Yue's ambiguous smile in his eyes, and he immediately felt a chill run down his spine, but he still respectfully bowed to Shen Xi.

"Please introduce me, Captain!"

Shen Xi looked at the extremely solemn Xu Yuanlang and helplessly patted his forehead.

"Alright, I'll put in a good word for you, but you'd better be careful!"

"Thank you, Captain!"

He bowed gratefully, and Shen Xi spoke a few words to Ouyang Yue's personal maid. The maid pursed her lips in annoyance, but Shen Xi smiled apologetically. Finally, the maid went to inform her.

"bring it on!"

Upon hearing the greeting, Xu Yuanlang hurried over, and Shen Xi patted him on the shoulder.

"Since the young lady is willing to see you, please say something nice."

Xu Yuanlang nodded and solemnly bowed to Shen Xi.

"Captain, thank you very much!"

"Hey, it's nothing!"

After he finished speaking, Shen Xi led him to the carriage where Ouyang Yue was.

Once inside, they discovered that the entire vehicle was divided into several rooms, including a reception room, a training room, a boudoir, and a greenhouse specifically for raising spirit creatures.

It was like a mobile courtyard, and even Shen Xi, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, looked on with wide-eyed amazement.

"Let's wait here."

Shen Xi did not sit down, but stood respectfully to the side. After a while, very light footsteps were heard.

Ouyang Yue came out of her boudoir. She glanced casually at Shen Xi, but then her phoenix eyes were fixed on Xu Yuanlang.

"You want the Qi of Crimson Flame and the Qi of Profound Radiance?"

Ouyang Yue didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to asking.

"Yes, my cultivation method is special and requires a lot of the five elements. I hope Miss Ouyang can spare some of it."

Ouyang Yue did not speak, but her eyes suddenly became unusually sharp as she stared intently at Xu Yuanlang. He raised his head to meet her gaze, his eyes calm and composed, his face displaying an air of neither servility nor arrogance.

Shen Xi took two steps back, feeling a bit scared. He gritted his teeth, ready to say something, but hesitated in the face of Ouyang Yue's suddenly rising aura.

An unsettling silence fell between the three of them. After a long while, Ouyang Yue suddenly spoke.

"What can you offer in exchange?"

"Well……"

This left Xu Yuanlang stunned. He opened his mouth, realizing that he actually possessed quite a few spiritual items, but as Shen Xi had said, Ouyang Yue was someone who lacked nothing, and the spiritual items he could offer would certainly not catch her eye.

"Pfft!"

Ouyang Yue's aura vanished in the blink of an eye, like ice and snow melting away. She stretched out her fingers, pinched Xu Yuanlang's cheeks hard, and then made a face at both sides.

"So, you're planning to use the rewards to buy my Five Elements Qi? Don't forget, those rewards also belong to our Baiqi Trading Company. Are you trying to get something for nothing?"

Xu Yuanlang let Ouyang Yue do as she pleased, then spoke indistinctly.

"Miss Ouyang, I was presumptuous. I hope you can retain your Five Elements energy for now, and I will..."

Shen Xi's eyelids twitched. The interaction between the two was now somewhat ambiguous, and it wouldn't be good if others saw it.

"No need for later. If you can do one thing for me in the future, I will give you a wisp of Dan Yan Qi!"

Xu Yuanlang looked at Ouyang Yue in surprise. The Dan Yan Qi was an extremely rare type of Qi among the Five Elements, and it could not be generated naturally.

It only appears in alchemy rooms with many alchemists, and has the effect of dispelling evil spirits and breaking all poisons. Generally speaking, even if it appears, it will be captured by the alchemists at will.

Ouyang Yue was actually willing to send him along, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

The higher the reward, the higher the risk.

"I wonder what Miss Ouyang wishes to do with me?"

Xu Yuanlang carefully bowed, hoping not to offend this old lady.

"Don't tell me what you're going to do yet, first you need to fight a match!"

"what!"

Before Xu Yuanlang could speak, Shen Xi, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but make a sound.

"Young Miss, you are a Foundation Establishment cultivator. This kid probably can't even withstand a single move from you."

Xu Yuanlang nodded hastily. Yes, making him fight a Foundation Establishment cultivator would be tantamount to murder.

"Don't worry, I will suppress my cultivation to a level similar to yours. You can use any magical artifact or any move you like."

If you lack confidence, it's best to give up now; you won't suffer any physical pain.

"bring it on!"
