Cultivate, Sign In, And Be Rewarded Handsomely Novel - Chapter 184
Chapter 184: A Blessing in Misfortune
There were dangers everywhere on the river. Wang Tianshui ordered his subordinates to urgently deal with the corpses of the two tiger-headed sharks.
They skillfully separated the materials on the tiger-headed shark’s body, skinned it, and took out their cores. The bone rack was also intact. The huge pieces of meat were divided neatly and put into the storage bag piece by piece.
In a short while, the four mounds of bodies were cleaned up.
“Retreat!”
Following Wang Tianshui’s order, the two dragon boats quickly rowed towards the riverbank.
Wang Tianshui looked at the blood spreading behind him with lingering fear. If not for Li Yuanqing’s help just now, they would have already died on the two boats. They would have long died in the stomachs of the sharks and would have become feces tomorrow.
Fortunately, he got to know this little brother at that time. However, he did not expect this little brother to be so powerful. It was terrifying.
They could only be glad that they did not have any ill intentions towards Li Yuanqing at that time. There were many fights in the wilderness. At that time, they saw that Li Yuanqing was alone and did not look very rich, so they did not have any ill intentions.
Now that he thought about it, he was extremely glad.
There were many sea demons gathered in the river. These demons surrounded the endless blood. After swimming around a few times, they could not find any flesh. Wang Tianshui’s men had already cleaned up the meat. In the end, they could only scatter aimlessly.
…
The members of the expedition team paddle towards the riverbank with all their might. Wang Tianshui observed for a while. After the threat at the side decreased, he came to Li Yuanqing’s side.
“Young Master, thank you so much this time.”
“It’s fine. We’re all on the same ship. It’s only right to help when we’re in danger.”
Wang Tianshui was very grateful. He nodded at Li Yuanqing and took out an inner core with each hand. His heart was dripping with blood, but he knew very well that without Li Yuanqing, all of them would have died here.
“Young Master, I can’t express my gratitude this time.” Wang Tianshui handed the two inner cores to Li Yuanqing. “This is what you deserve. As for the materials, just tell me if you need anything. We’ll help you pack them all up. At that time, you can directly take them to trade and save trouble.
“By the way, Young Master, please leave an address. We will definitely visit you personally in the future.”
Li Yuanqing did not care much about these things. Although this demon beast’s inner core had sufficient spiritual energy, it was dispensable to him. However, if he did not accept it, it would seem like he was looking down on them. He reached out and picked up the smaller one.
“I appreciate Captain Wang’s kindness, but you’ve been eyeing this Tiger-Headed Shark for a long time. I can’t let you make a wasted trip. I’ll accept one, and you can keep the rest. There’s no need to thank me.”
“How can that do? Young Master, you were the one who killed these two Tiger-Headed Sharks. Logically speaking, they should be yours. I will exchange those things for equivalent spirit stones to trade with you.”
Although Wang Tianshui said that he was generous, his heart was bleeding.
The cost of this expedition of more than a hundred people was not small. They were almost wiped out this time and had to give out so many spirit stones. They had suffered a huge loss this time. However, he was lucky enough to survive. He was lucky enough not to be left behind.
Li Yuanqing stretched out his hand and stopped Wang Tianshui from continuing. “Captain Wang, we’re all humans. We have to take care of each other when we’re outside. If I encounter any danger in the future, please save me, Captain Wang.”
Li Yuanqing easily resolved Wang Tianshui’s kindness. Wang Tianshui nodded heavily and looked at Li Yuanqing gratefully. Originally, if he were to give out everything to him, he would really suffer a loss. Although Li Yuanqing was young, he was really good at doing things.
“Young Master, I will never forget your kindness!” Wang Tianshui heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Li Yuanqing apologetically. “It’s just that you came here to find the grass carp that you mentioned. I feel really guilty that I didn’t help you find it.”
Just now, Wang Tianshui had specially sent a few people to search everywhere. However, in the face of the greatest danger, he could not find any traces of grass carp after searching for a long time.
When these grass carp arrived here, their habits changed. They liked to run around in groups. If it was in the previous world, he would be able to catch a pile of grass carp with a fishing rod.
Li Yuanqing had a slight headache. Grass carp were not as easy to obtain as he had imagined. However, in order to make the creatures in his domain richer, he endured it.
“It’s fine. I’ll find it myself.”
“Although we didn’t find any traces of grass carp or fish, my men still found some of their activities. According to our guess, they might have gone downstream. Young Master, after you go ashore, why don’t you go downstream to search?”
“Thank you for your guidance, Captain Wang.”
As the two of them chatted, the dragon boat rushed to the shore at an extremely fast speed. Everyone jumped onto the shore and used their spiritual energy to melt the river water on their bodies.
This thrilling journey would definitely become the most unforgettable memory in many of their hearts. This human cultivator from Ping City had already become a hero in their eyes.
“This method is actually like the legendary Sword Immortal.”
“The people who came out of Ping City are actually so extraordinary. It seems that they have really comprehended the Sword Dao of the Sword Immortal.”
“In the past, everyone said that Ping City was the holy land of sword cultivators. I didn’t believe it. But when I saw it today, I knew that I must go to Ping City again in the future!”
The human cultivators from Rong City had just obtained their freedom. Now that they saw the rumored people of Ping City, they were extremely excited. The strength that Li Yuanqing had displayed shocked them even more. They thought that everyone in Ping City had such powerful martial arts.
The expedition team gathered again after a simple rest. Wang Tianshui was going to lead them to other places.
It took a lot of effort to operate an expedition team with more than a hundred people. They could not stop for a moment. Although they had just experienced such a cruel danger, they still had to rush to the next location as soon as possible after a simple rest.
Every moment they stopped would cost them a huge sum of money.
Their next destination was downstream, but it was a little further from here and they had to travel all the way.
In order to find traces of the grass carp, Li Yuanqing might have to slowly search along the riverbank. Therefore, Li Yuanqing could not follow the expedition team.
Although Wang Tianshui repeatedly asked him to stay and expressed that he was willing to send a team to search along the way, Li Yuanqing still chose to say goodbye to them.
“Young Master, are you really not going to leave an address?”
“Captain Wang, don’t worry. Let’s meet again if fate allows it. I believe in the Sword Immortal’s decree.”
When Li Yuanqing heard the words of the exploration team members, he also pretended to be a loyal believer of the Sword Immortal.
“I’ll leave first. Young Master, be careful.”
The expedition team left. Although it was a huge commotion, their speed was extremely fast. In a short while, they disappeared into the horizon.
However, in their team, there were still stories about the Sword Immortal. The legend of Ping City and the Sword Immortal had been brewing in their hearts.
After Li Yuanqing bade farewell to the expedition team, he walked down the riverbank. Although this river was extremely dangerous, it also contained many opportunities. He did not find any traces of grass carp on the way, but Li Yuanqing discovered another fish that only existed in the previous world.
This large carp was very fat. Its back was yellow and its tail was red. Its head was very small and its flesh was very tough. It was more than three feet tall when it jumped out of the water.
Li Yuanqing felt homesick. He wondered how Zhaoyang was doing in the Northern Kingdom. This time, he had gained a lot. He took the opportunity to collect a group of big carps and placed them in his domain. The wide lake in the middle immediately became lively.
After collecting the big carp, Li Yuanqing continued down the river bank. However, his path was blocked by a wide swamp.
This swamp was originally a low-lying plain. When the river occasionally overflowed, the river water would pour out and drown the plain below, forming this very wide swamp.
This swamp contained a very complicated aura. There were many demon beasts hiding inside. If any cultivators accidentally passed by, they might be attacked.
The demon beasts in the swamp were not precious or valuable. Li Yuanqing was not interested in them, so he chose a more stable path.
Just as Li Yuanqing stepped into the swamp, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Sign-in successful in the Wilderness Swamp. Reward received!]
[Reward One: Swamp Domain Fragment.]
[Reward Two: Traction Technique.]
Li Yuanqing was about to choose the domain fragment when he was attracted by this magical traction technique. Speaking of which, he had obtained a lot of domain fragments during this period of time. He was not too interested in the domain fragments of the swamp.
But what kind of technique was this traction technique?
“I’ll choose the traction technique.”
[Reward issued successfully. Received traction technique!]
Li Yuanqing floated above the swamp and closed his eyes to quietly sense the profundity of the traction technique. As its name implied, this traction technique had a very powerful traction ability.
At a deeper level, he could toy with opponents weaker than him.
This was a good thing. Li Yuanqing could not wait to leave the swamp. He found a hidden place in the forest and began to comprehend it.
The traction technique was powerful, but it was not difficult to cultivate. Li Yuanqing reached the second level in just half a day. He opened his eyes and emitted an energy wave that caused the leaves beside him to rustle.
A palm gently stretched out towards the tree in front of him. The branches of the tree slowly began to twist, as if they had a life of their own.
The tree suddenly seemed to have a life of its own. However, at this moment, it was suddenly uprooted and thrown aside.
Li Yuanqing looked at the fallen tree in satisfaction.
“Its strength is indeed not small.”
At this moment, he suddenly felt a huge energy fluctuation coming from the downstream of the river. The two energies below kept colliding and erupting with powerful energy fluctuations.
Li Yuanqing quickly arrived at the scene of the incident and looked at the center of the river. It turned out that not far from the riverbank, the expedition team was entangled with a very huge vicious beast, a crocodile.
This crocodile was huge and thousands of feet long. Every move it made caused huge waves.
The huge array kept shooting huge amounts of energy at the crocodile. However, the crocodile’s skin was thick and it did not suffer any visible damage.
Wang Tianshui stood at the bow of the ship and kept waving the main flag in his hand. His forehead was covered in sweat. It was unknown if his clothes were wet from the river or drenched in sweat, but water kept dripping down.
Everyone tried their best, but they were unable to subdue the vicious beast in a short period of time. Moreover, the more it churned, the more powerful beings it attracted.
Just as they were at their wits’ end, the huge crocodile suddenly floated in the air, and the huge waves that were churning gradually calmed down. The crocodile roared at the sky, but it was useless. It could only let its body be pulled continuously.
Everyone in the expedition team watched the scene in front of them with their mouths agape. They did not know what was happening until the crocodile’s huge body was pulled up the riverbank. Only then did they see a small human standing on the riverbank. It was Li Yuanqing again.
“It’s actually that Sword Immortal successor again!”
“The Sword Immortal successor is here again!”
“Sword Immortal!”
The crocodile was already exhausted and was dragged up the riverbank by Li Yuanqing. Wang Tianshui led everyone down from the ship.
After the crocodile went ashore, it was already controlled by Li Yuanqing and could not resist at all. Soon, it was slaughtered by Wang Tianshui and his subordinates.
The members of the expedition team had been talking about Li Yuanqing and the Sword Immortal of Ping City. They did not expect to meet Li Yuanqing again after only half a day. Moreover, Li Yuanqing had saved them again.
This Sword Immortal was really their savior.
“The humans of Ping City are actually so powerful. I must go to Ping City in the future!”
“Brother, count me in. I want to go too!”
Wang Tianshui had never expected that Li Yuanqing would save them when he was in danger.
“Young Master, I’ve really troubled you. I don’t know how to thank you for saving me every time.”
“Captain Wang, it was nothing. There’s no need to thank me.”
“I owe you two lives. My life is yours.”
