Chapter 20
The demon cultivator named Ishikawa Nishi is based on a domestic goose.
Together with his elder brother Ishikawa Higashi and second elder brother Ishikawa Minami, they are little demons who got the opportunity to awaken their spiritual wisdom and embark on the journey of spiritual practice under the Jiyi League.
The Jiyi Alliance was able to gain a place among the seven sects and eight schools of the Beiyan Continent, and even share equal status with the Wuxiang Alliance. Naturally, its strength should not be underestimated.
Not to mention, the Jiyi Alliance was formed by several powerful demons with outstanding strength. It is a demon alliance belonging to demons, which only accepts demon cultivators and protects small demons.
There are many demon cultivators in the Demon Alliance. Low-level demons like them, the mixed-haired geese, just hang out in it every day. Although they don't have to worry about being eaten by a powerful demon, demon cultivators believe in the law of the jungle. They can never think about the natural treasures in the Ji Yi Alliance, and the cultivation resources they can get on a normal basis are also pitifully few.
In order to cultivate and strengthen themselves, the three brothers naturally had to train in various small secret realms outside.
So, when they heard that Yongshu Township was actually the place where an ancient great demon fell, and even that it was very likely to be the secret realm of the great demon's predecessor's inheritance, the three brothers made an immediate decision to rush to Yongshu Township without hesitation.
Who knew that after entering, the biggest problem he faced was not competing with others for the inherited martial arts skills, but the fasting pills.
Yes, although the prototypes of the three brothers look like vegetarians, they are demon cultivators and are not really vegetarians. They fight and kill in their daily lives, and they have quite a few elixirs for healing and plotting against others.
The only thing missing is the fasting pill.
Who could have imagined that a secret realm assessment set up by a great demon senior had nothing to do with what these demon cultivators were best at.
There was no other way. They didn't dare to eat the food in Yongshu Township, but they didn't have any fasting pills, so they had to temporarily rely on the people from the Demon Sect.
Ishikawa Nishi finished talking about his own mental journey, and then apologized to the two again for the offense he had committed during the day.
"If that's what you said, then why did you tip me off?" Jiang Wan half-closed his eyes, his half-believing and half-doubting eyes full of distrust.
Lin Xubai, contrary to his usual behavior, reached out and pulled the goose's wings. It was not known whether it was because it was too tiring to paddle all the way or for some other reason.
The goose shed its feathers, and the three-colored mixed feathers fell off right in front of it, and there were more than one feather.
Big Goose Shi Chuanxi's eyes were instantly filled with fear, and his two large wings crossed in front of his snow-white chest, "I, I am a legitimate demon! I sell my art, not my body!"
"Information trading requires honesty. I am a member of the Zhimowai section of the Wenti City branch of Humoting." The big goose's eyes turned dimly, and after a bit of hesitation, he took out the unique identity token belonging to Humoting from the innate space in his abdomen.
It flashed in front of the two people for a moment and then was quickly put away and put back into the space.
"After all, little demons like us must have several sources of income to survive." Ishikawa Nishi smiled ingratiatingly, but it was difficult to see such a difficult expression on his big goose face.
In addition to their own disciples who record information outside, Huzhuting also does some information trading.
Otherwise, how could they become one of the top information intelligence organizations in the entire Beiyan Continent and have a comprehensive grasp of all the developments in the world of immortal cultivation?
"Considering the news just now, I won't take advantage of you. The price is one hundred high-grade spirit stones." Ishikawa Nishi gritted his teeth and raised his thumb, his eyes suspicious and cautious.
Jiang Wan thought about it and felt that at least the news came in time. This big goose had been beaten by her in broad daylight, and because of the mechanism of Yongshu Township, it has not been able to restore its human form until now. It is quite miserable.
Just think of it as paying for information.
As a result, he took out his pocket.
!!!
Where's her money?
Why is it empty? ! !
Jiang Wan and Da'e's small eyes were awkwardly facing each other.
"What about the one hundred mid-grade spirit stones?"
Jiang Wan blinked but still didn't move.
Ishikawaxi put a finger over his eyes and said with great distress, "Then one hundred low-grade spirit stones should be enough, right?"
"Hmm..." Jiang Wan's expression was also very ugly at the moment. Let alone high-grade or low-grade spirit coins, she couldn't even take out a spirit coin now.
Ishikawa Nishi suddenly dropped his hand, his brow furrowed as if he had thought of something, his eyes becoming shocked, as if he had thought of something absurd. After a long while, his lips trembled as he said, "You guys, aren't you thinking of getting something for free?"
"You know, I'm a swordsman."
Sometimes, the word "sword cultivator" is an adjective.
Jiang Wan awkwardly turned her gaze towards Lin Xubai beside her. She was also puzzled. How could her money be gone again?!
Receiving Jiang Wan's pleading gaze, Lin Xubai responded with a helpless expression, gestured with his eyes to the lanterns by the river, and then looked at the pile of things he had just bought.
He looked like he was in a difficult situation too.
Jiang Wan's expectation finally died, and she stared with complicated and resentful eyes.
Good, now she knows where her money went.
Jiang Wan was heartbroken and said she should be more frugal with her money!
If people knew that she, a dignified Demon Lord, couldn't even produce a spirit stone, wouldn't she be laughed to death? And it would be embarrassing!
How could Ishikawaxi not see the meaning behind the glances between Jiang Wan and the other two? His eyes widened in disbelief: "You are disciples of a big sect! That's the Guiyuan Sect, the leader of the seven sects and eight schools!"
The shock in his tone was completely off, and his facial features were distorted because the facts were too unbelievable, and even the feathers on his body suddenly stood up.
When Jiang Wan heard this, he touched his nose bridge embarrassedly. He was quite embarrassed at first, but then as if he was enlightened by Ishikawa Nishi's words, the expression on his face instantly became less embarrassed.
His wandering eyes returned to focus again.
Yes, she is now a disciple of Guiyuan Sect. Even if she embarrasses herself, it is only for the honor of Guiyuan Sect.
No one knows that she is the Demon Lord.
"Okay, okay, it's my bad luck. I made a wrong estimate." Ishikawa Nishi's eyes moved between the two of them with a complicated look. He didn't expect that the two disciples of the sect who looked so bright and beautiful were actually poor guys who couldn't even take out a hundred low-grade spirit stones.
It turned out that he could make a mistake one day. It was such a waste of this trip.
Ishikawa Nishi's eyes showed undisguised disdain for the two of them. He was so speechless that even his feathers had lost their luster. He turned the lantern boat around in regret.
The deal failed to go through, and he didn't intend to reveal the address where the person was arrested.
It's impossible to get him to share information without spirit stones!
Turn around and prepare to paddle back.
This won't work.
Jiang Wan saw the big goose turning around and leaving, and in a hurry, she subconsciously grabbed the stern of the lantern boat with one hand and manually braked it. She then quickly poked Lin Xubai's waist with her fingertips and gave him a look.
We can't just let him get away like this.
Lin Xubai: ...
In fact, he is not short of these mundane things. He has no natural treasures, immortal weapons or spiritual veins.
He has everything that others have, and he also has things that others don't have.
At his level, there is nothing he wants and needs to spend money to buy. Everything is offered to him by others.
Spirit stone?
He hasn't used it in years.
He admitted that it had been a long time since he had been able to stroll freely in the market and buy whatever he wanted like he did now.
For a moment, the control over the spirit stones was not in place.
Jiang Wan and Lin Xubai looked at each other in silence.
Who would have thought.
The two best men in the world couldn't even gather a hundred spirit stones.
"Hey! Since the money and goods can't be settled, don't try to stop me from leaving. A disciple from a major sect wouldn't act like a robber, would he?"
Ishikawa Shira shrugged his eyes and said with a sidelong glance in an unpleasant manner.
"I've heard there's a strange bird in the South Continent. It looks like a goose, but it has three eyes and three-colored feathers: its belly is like frost and snow, its body is as black as night, and its tail is like flames. It hides in icy streams during the day and in flaming valleys at night. It can spit ice crystals and walk on fire. Wherever it passes, lotus flowers bloom on the snow and dew condenses on the flaming hills. Seeing it means a good harvest.
It is called the Tricolor Snow Flame Goose.
The goose meat tastes crisp and sweet when you put it in your mouth, like chewing ice marrow. If you savor it carefully, you will taste the subtle fragrance of snow lotus. It will feel cool in your throat when you swallow it, and eating it in the hot summer will make your whole body feel cool.
The goose belly is as tender as agar, smooth but not greasy, and the fragrance lingers in your mouth for three days after eating it.
The meat of the flame tail is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside after being roasted, with a scorched aroma. When you bite it, the juice splashes out, like drinking lava honey, spicy and sweet.
The best part is, if mortals who haven't practiced cultivation consume it, their bodies can be revitalized and protected from cold and heat, while if cultivators consume it, it can promote the flow of spiritual energy throughout the body, condense spiritual roots, and aid cultivation."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xubai looked at Ishikawa West with a smile on his face, speaking with a smile on his face.
As soon as these words came out, it was as if a thunderbolt struck Ishikawa Nishi head-on, making his whole body tremble as if struck by lightning, and his whole body was numb from head to toe.
Ishikawa Nishi changed his previous contemptuous attitude. At this moment, he was so scared that his heart was pounding.
He, he, he, how did he know that!!!
Cheated him?
No, Ishikawa Nishi's pupils suddenly constricted as he met the other's peach blossom eyes that seemed to see through everything, as if a cat's paw was pressing on a mouse and watching the mouse struggling to death under its claws.
His desire to argue was completely silenced, and he belatedly realized a horrible fact.
The words spoken by this thin young man were not a test, he really saw through his true self.
At this moment, in Ishikawa Nishi's eyes, this gentle and elegant young man with a slender figure was no different from a demon.
The young man's gentle and harmless voice sounded to him more like a soul-chasing knife from hell. Every sound frightened him so much that his whole body trembled uncontrollably and he felt cold all over.
He had been disguised as an ordinary goose in the Extreme Alliance for so many years without being seen through, but this young man saw through his true form so easily.
Who is he?
Ishikawa Nishi couldn't stop sweating all over his body. Fortunately, he was in his original form at the moment, and his pale face showed no panic. He couldn't help but start to doubt whether he was walking into a trap and seeking his own death on this trip tonight.
"Oh~" Jiang Wan suddenly realized.
"Now I know why you secretly came to tell us the news. It seems that not only my senior sisters and brothers were arrested, but your eldest and second brothers were also arrested.
No wonder you came to me so eagerly. You wanted to use us to deal with them, so you could fish in troubled waters and rescue them."
If the west side of Ishikawa is dead, their three-colored snow flame geese are a rare species unknown to the demons even in the Jiyi Alliance, and they have always been cautious in hiding, not to mention that there are cultivators who can recognize their true identities.
But tonight, the boss exposed it so nakedly in front of a little monk.
Who is this big guy? Could he be the direct disciple of the Sword Master Immortal?
"I admit it, I admit it all!"
Boss! Please let me go!
Afterwards, Jiang Wan secretly asked Lin Xubai how he figured out Ishikawa Nishi's identity.
"I don't know. I was just trying to trick him. Who knew it would be so lucky that I tricked him out."
"Then where did you hear about that tri-colored snow-flame goose you mentioned?"
"Oh, there's a book called "Qiwu Jing" in the jade slip that Senior Brother Chaosheng gave me. It seems like it was accidentally slipped in there. I found it interesting when I was studying talismans, so I read a lot of it. Do you want to see it?"
"That's all, thank you." Jiang Wan hesitated. She had never been able to understand classical Chinese, so she declined. "I didn't expect Senior Brother Chaosheng to be interested in this. But, is it really delicious?"
"I think so. I'm not sure, but that's what it says in the book. It's fragrant and delicious."
“Is that so—”
What should I do if she is a little greedy?
Ishikawa Nishi, who was following behind, was sweating profusely. The more he listened, the more he trembled, and he was terrified all the way.
Are these disciples from a major righteous sect? They might be two great demons from the Demon Realm in disguise.
I heard that the new Demon Lord from the Demon Realm has sent a number of spies from his demon sects to the Seven Sects, including many high-level demon cultivators. Could it be...
Ishikawa Nishi secretly glanced at the two of them and then quickly looked away.
This sword cultivator looked like a sword cultivator, but this one, Ishikawa Nishi, couldn't help but feel his legs trembling, and his heart was pounding so hard that it seemed like it was about to jump out, making his head numb.
The more I think about it, the more scared I get.
That's right, he absolutely is.
It's over, he discovered a big secret.
Can he still leave Yongshu Township alive?
With the guidance of Ishikawa Nishi, the two sneaked into the Tianyu Palace headquarters.
It was a small inn with a red banner hanging at the door.
"I heard they're hiring here. Isn't the boss lady here?"
