“Haha, Junior Brother Lu, you are too cautious; it was just a cultivator from a minor family, and yet you used several Second-Grade Sword Qi Ten Thousand Talismans.”

Yao Qing laughed.

“I had no choice; it’s better to be safe than sorry. When my life is at stake, a few charms don’t count for much.”

“Besides, this monk from the Wan family was able to control a peculiar toad, not only was it highly poisonous, but it could also blend into its surroundings, hence the need to use the large-scale attack of the Sword Qi Ten Thousand Talisman.”

Lu Xuan explained with a bitter smile, betraying no signs that there were still many Second-Grade talismans in his storage bag.

He took out the items in the cultivator’s storage bag and naturally put them into his own.

Yao Qing and Yan Ping quietly watched, without any intention of wanting a share.

Although they hurried over after they discovered the unusual activity, Lu Xuan dealt with the attackers alone, hence they did not have the right to claim any of his spoils of war.

Moreover, the cultivator was from a small family, and the value of his treasures was quite evident – neither Yao nor Yan showed much interest in them.

After a brief processing, the three of them continued to take care of the Mimic Worm problem in the Spirit Plant Garden. Yan Ping was in charge of locating the Mimic Worms, while Lu Xuan and Yao Qing eradicated the detected worms and patrolled around the garden.

After the failed surprise attack, no imprudent cultivators come to reclaim the Mimic Worms that were parasitizing the Water Ling Peaches.

Two days later, all the Water Ling Peaches have been inspected thoroughly to ensure no more worms were parasitizing the spirit plants.

As for the Zhang family, with Lu Xuan’s help in eliminating a major enemy, they soon settled their issues with the Wan family on the other island. The Wan family’s cultivators either died or fled, leaving their assets to the Zhang family.

“Senior Sister Yao, brothers, much thanks to you both for your help in solving the Ling Peach worm infestation problem.”

“Here are some small local specialties, frozen spiritual fish, and candied fruit made from Water Ling Peaches, as a treat for your return to the Sky Sword Sect.”

Through this event, Zhang Yu Tang, the head of the Zhang family, looked more aged, but his spirit was exceptionally vigorous.

He gave each of them a beautifully made gift box, which they couldn’t refuse and had to accept.

Yao Qing took out that third-grade flying shuttle, Lu Xuan leapt and jumped onto the empty spot on the shuttle, a thin spiritual aura protector appeared, engulfing the three inside.

With a whoosh, the flying shuttle ascended into the high altitude, with the members of the Zhang family beneath it, turning into tiny black dots.

“This head of the Zhang household is quite generous.”

In the sky, Yan Ping opened his gift box, within it was a bag of Spirit Peach Candied Fruit that weighed several jin.

There was also a flat long box with ice cubes surrounding it. Two spiritual fish that left a deep impression on Lu Xuan and others lay among the ice cubes, showing traces of cold air rising from them.

Lastly, there was a small cloth bag that surprisingly carried five hundred Spirit Stones, each of them had one.

“Five hundred Spirit Stones, it’s enough to buy two high-quality Second Grade Magical Artifacts. For a small family like the Zhangs, they must have made a considerable sacrifice.”

Lu Xuan shook the cloth bag in his hand and sighed.

“Five hundred Spirit Stones, part of it is a reward to solve the worm infestation problem. Most importantly, it’s to keep our mouths shut.”

“The worm problem was from one of Zhang family’s cultivators. Although it was done by an individual, if our Sect Uncles found out, they might cancel the Zhang’s qualification to cultivate Water Ling Peaches, which would be a disaster for them.”

“So, they had to pay the money to keep us quiet about this.”

Yao Qing sat at one end of the flying shuttle and spoke in a light tone.

Within half an hour, they returned to their Sect.

“Brothers, in dealing with the Water Ze Ling Peach Worm problem, it was Junior Brother Lu who discovered that the Mimic Worm was at work and found the solution to the worm problem. And Yan Brother, who tirelessly deployed methods over the past few days to eradicate the worms, both of you have worked hard.”

“These are forty sword marks, for your reward for this mission.”

Before parting, Yao Qing took out eighty sword marks and gave each of Lu Xuan’s two people forty apiece.

Lu Xuan didn’t stand on ceremony, accepting the forty sword marks.

Although they were of slightly less value compared to the five hundred spirit stones given by Zhang Family Head, earning forty sword marks in a few days was already pretty good.

Lu Xuan had Yao Qing land the flying boat near his mansion, saving a spirit stone he would have spent on renting a spirit crane.

After bidding farewell to the two, he came to the outside of his mansion, opened the Hidden Fog Maze Array, and pushed open the courtyard gate.

A huge bird with a crushing momentum rushed towards Lu Xuan and flopped on top of his head with a ‘pa’ sound.

Though it came with a powerful force, it didn’t have the expected weight. A soft feeling came from above his head.

“How come you have put on weight in just a few days? How will you fly me around if you become this heavy?”

Lu Xuan was shocked. This wind sparrow, although it had grown taller and reached four feet in height, its sideways growth was more obvious. It had almost turned into a sphere.

“Chirp chirp!”

The wind sparrow chirped a few times, seeming to refute Lu Xuan’s words.

“Roar—”

A black shadow flickered by, the Cloud Leopard directly pulled down the wind sparrow fledgling in mid-air, landed on Lu Xuan’s shoulder, and roared with echo still lingering in its mouth.

The wind sparrow did not willingly give up, it circled around Lu Xuan’s head, seeking a chance to break through.

The Cloud Leopard stared with its green eyes, lazily watching the wind sparrow make all sorts of fake moves.

Whenever the wind sparrow came close to Lu Xuan, it would extend its cloud-like thick paw and ruthlessly slap the wind sparrow fledgling to the ground.

“Looking at your shiny self, you must have eaten quite a lot in these few days.” Lu Xuan sighed, feeling an ominous sense. He quickly went to the kitchen and, sure enough, the demon beast meat he had left for the two little creatures had been completely finished off.

He seemed to see that after he left, the Cloud Leopard and wind sparrow had indiscriminately enjoyed the leftover demon beast meat until they were completely stuffed.

“I am going to starve you for three days!”

Lu Xuan said sternly.

The Cloud Leopard pulled in its green pupils, looking completely unconcerned. As for the wind sparrow fledgling, its small head compared to its round body was restlessly spinning around, chirping from time to time.

Lu Xuan slightly punished the wind sparrow fledgling and the Cloud Leopard and returned to his room.

He took out all the items belonging to the cultivator who had attacked him and laid them out on the table.

“A first-grade magical artifact, a first-grade elixir, fewer than a hundred spirit stones, the only thing of some value should be this ‘Insect Scripture’.”

Lu Xuan gently stroked the cover of the antique book.

The cover depicted a strange insect beast with multiple heads, multiple limbs, many pairs of wings, and disorderly chaos, as if many different species of insect beasts were spliced together, looking extremely sinister.

The two words ‘Insect Scripture’ in the upper right corner were blood red, as if they were dripped in fresh blood.

Lu Xuan slowly opened it, carefully reading the content of the ‘Insect Scripture’..
