170: Preparations for infiltrating the demonic realm

Damn it.

Is there still justice?

Is there still law?

Who can come and punish him!

Seventy percent of the purple lightning crystal and Spirit Stones in the mine clearly fell into the master's hands, yet he still had to pay for this big snake's meals; this guy looked like he could eat a lot.

He wouldn't eat him into bankruptcy, would he?

Bai Ge was immediately terrified.

Chu Jiang, on the other hand, was counting his gains in the Storage Pouch: forty-eight Spirit Stones and one hundred eighty purple lightning crystals, which was a huge harvest.

Each purple lightning crystal weighed a full hundred catties, with a total weight of nearly twenty thousand catties.

One human and two demons, with vastly different joys and sorrows.

After tidying up, they left the underground mine.

When Dragon first arrived in the outside world, everything was new to him; he would stop to look at a big tree and chase after a small bird to play with it.

“Bai Ge, what’s that flying in the sky?”

“That’s a large eagle!”

“Bai Ge, what’s that crawling on the ground?”

“That’s a raccoon, a small animal!”

“Bai Ge, how do you know everything? You’re amazing!”

Bai Ge was smug; his eagerness to teach was ignited, and Dragon’s flattery was very gratifying to him. He said with great pride, “There’s nothing in this world that your Bai Ge doesn’t know. Follow your Bai Ge, and I guarantee you’ll live a life of luxury!”

“Thank you, Bai Ge!”

“Oh, Bai Ge, what’s this again?”

“That’s a wild chicken. Judging by its age, it’s two and a half years old. It must taste good!”

“Bai Ge…”

…

Dragon at this moment seemed to have become an Incarnation of a hundred thousand questions, wanting to get to the bottom of everything he saw to satisfy his abundant curiosity. Bai Ge gradually went from being elated to being tormented.

It felt like teaching a naive child to read.

“Stop, stop…”

“From now on, you can only ask me a hundred questions a day!”

Bai Ge said helplessly.

“Bai Ge, I counted, and there are still twenty-seven questions left today. Let’s continue!”

Dragon thought for a moment, then said seriously.

“Pfft!”

Bai Ge’s eyes began to roll back.

Dragon excitedly pointed to a plant and asked, “Bai Ge, what kind of plant is this?”

Bai Ge replied weakly, “That’s foxtail grass.”

Dragon then pointed to a red plant nearby and asked, “What about that one?”

“That’s Bloodpetal Flower, it has…” Bai Ge sighed inwardly, he had already been asked ninety-seven questions on this journey, just three more and it would be a hundred.

Before he finished speaking, Dragon rushed over with a whoosh and swallowed the flower in one gulp.

Bai Ge was greatly alarmed and quickly shouted, “Spit it out! That flower is poisonous!”

However, Dragon showed a satisfied expression, smacking his lips and saying, “Hmm, it tastes a bit bitter, but it’s quite delicious.”

Seeing this, Bai Ge sighed inwardly: This guy really dares to eat anything!

Just then, Dragon’s body began to glow with a strange light, and the purple lightning on him became a little denser, and his Qi slightly strengthened.

Dragon felt the power surging within him and excitedly twisted his body.

“Wow, Bai Ge, I feel like I’ve become stronger!” Dragon was overjoyed.

Bai Ge’s eyes widened, too surprised to speak.

Chu Jiang, standing beside him, was deep in thought. Could this be Dragon’s special ability? To enhance his strength by devouring special plants and minerals?

This Purple Lightning Dragon Python’s origin is probably not simple; could his mother be from some royal family?

Chu Jiang took out a “Azure Spirit Grass” from his Heavenly Eye space, which could not be directly absorbed. This grass was an essential Material for refining high-grade Medicinal Pills and was quite valuable.

It was the most valuable Spiritual Plant in that Spirit Field, second only to the Golden Spirit Grass.

If it weren't for him Cultivating the Ten Thousand Refinements Art.

He would also be unable to directly absorb and refine this type of Spiritual Plant.

“Master, I want to eat this!”

Dragon stared with wide, rolling eyes, which shone brightly. This was several grades higher in energy level than the Bloodpetal Flower he had just eaten.

Chu Jiang nodded slightly and threw the Azure Spirit Grass to Dragon.

“This is extra food expense for this month!”

“Thank you, Master!”

Before Dragon finished speaking, he snatched the Azure Spirit Grass and swallowed it in one gulp.

Subsequently, a strange light once again emanated from Dragon’s body, and the purple lightning on him intensified by another degree, making a greater commotion than when he had just devoured the Bloodpetal Flower.

This refining speed…

Bai Ge, on the side, was stunned. He couldn't afford to raise it, absolutely couldn't afford to raise it.

Dragon once again showed a longing gaze.

However.

Chu Jiang did not give any more.

“Monthly food is fixed; to get extra supplies, you need to complete tasks!”

He wanted him to understand the scarcity of resources, otherwise, if he got things without effort too many times, his psychological threshold would greatly increase.

Dragon nodded.

“Bai Ge, come over here!”

Chu Jiang waved his hand.

“What are your orders, Master?”

Bai Ge looked puzzled.

Chu Jiang extended a finger and said with a mischievous smile, “I have a plan…”

“First, like this… then like this!”

“After we finish this job, we'll be rich! The treasures we get this time will be split half and half. I get half, and the other half goes to you and Dragon!”

“Do you understand?”

Bai Ge nodded frantically, and a hint of excitement actually flashed in his eyes.

Good, good, good.

This is how you play.

It's exhilarating.

Bai Ge patted Dragon’s head, “Dragon, do you understand what Master said?”

Dragon stared with wide, bell-like eyes, his eyeballs darting around rapidly. In truth, he hadn't clearly heard what the two were plotting, nor did he understand.

What infiltrate the interior?

Scavenge treasures!

And his name was mentioned.

A bunch of terms he had never heard before.

If he said he didn't understand, would Master think he was useless?

Wouldn't his extra meal plan go bankrupt?

Thinking of this.

He spoke:

“I understand, it’s about infiltrating the interior…”

Dragon repeated their conversation, quickly extracting the keywords.

“Very good. Of the gains from this mission, the Master takes five-tenths, I get four-tenths, and you get one-tenth!”

“Don’t complain about it being too little. Newcomers performing their first mission usually get no share at all. This one-tenth was only secured for you because your Bai Ge pleaded bitterly before the Master!”

Bai Ge extended a finger, talking nonsense with an utterly serious expression.

Dragon was completely bewildered.

“Bai Ge, what I heard was that we would split five-tenths between us.”

“I’m going to ask Master to clarify!”

This concerned his plan for extra meals, so he couldn't be careless in the slightest.

Hmm…

This guy isn’t easy to fool either.

“Dragon, come back here! Alright, alright, I’ll take a loss. You take two-tenths, and I’ll take three-tenths. If you still don’t agree, then go find the Master!”

“If those two-tenths vanish then, don’t blame me!”

Bai Ge said unhurriedly, starting a psychological battle with Dragon.

Dragon hesitated, and in the end, he still couldn't take that step.

“Bai Ge is absolutely right, I’ll listen to Bai Ge!”

Bai Ge nodded with satisfaction.

“In this world, besides me and the Master, no one else’s words can be easily trusted, understand?”

Bai Ge began to make thorough preparations for infiltrating the demon interior, lest they enter and fail to find the demon lair, but instead have information extracted from them.

“Understood. In this world, besides the Master’s words and Bai Ge’s words, no one else’s words can be trusted!” Dragon repeated word for word.

“Also, no matter who asks, you must not reveal the true information about the Master and me!”

Dragon suddenly said something surprising: “If someone keeps pestering me and asking, can I beat him to death?”

Bai Ge: “…”
