The Arrogant Immortal-Chapter 32 - Repaying the Lifesaving Favor on the Spot

How much could low-tier beast blood be worth in Spirit Stones?

The Demon Crocodile’s blood from earlier was somewhat valuable, and they had already collected it.

But not everyone looked down on it, and there were two Cultivators who got things to collect it.

The flesh of wild Demon Pigs had a strong fishy smell and wasn’t nearly as tasty as farmed Spiritual Pigs; it wouldn’t fetch a good price if sold, and it would take up space in the Storage Bag. Moreover, since they’d already divided the Demon Crocodile meat, they paid no attention to the Wild Boar Demon.

The man in green clothes took the Wild Boar Demons’ tusks, and so did the others; they didn’t even bother skinning them.

Xie Jiuniang unabashedly took everything for herself.

Even the smallest mosquito was still flesh, and she needed to provide for her family, and feed Little Jianjian. When Little Jianjian made his debut, he swallowed up her 120,000 Spirit Stones, clearly a gold-swallowing Giant Beast.

The man in green suggested leaving, “The smell of blood here might attract other Demonic Beasts.”

Cheng Huaixin and the others had no objections.

Xie Jiuniang smiled and agreed as well.

As they were leaving, the female Cultivator who had bought red fruit from her before, along with a male Cultivator, approached Xie Jiuniang.

The two of them were siblings.

The female Cultivator smiled, “My name is Gan Long, Qi Cultivation at the fifth layer. He’s Gan Meng, my second brother, Qi Cultivation at the seventh layer. Thank you for assisting and saving him earlier.”

Xie Jiuniang touched her small chin, “How much is a life-saving grace worth?”

“Priceless,” Gan Meng seriously replied.

Xie Jiuniang smiled with satisfaction, “I like straightforward people like you who don’t give me that insincere rubbish. I think… a life-saving grace should be repaid on the spot, right?”

Gan Meng seriously said, “If Xie Daoist friend has any request, just say it.”

Gan Long, standing by and thinking of Xie Jiuniang’s various tricky maneuvers, tensed up involuntarily.

Xie Jiuniang asked Gan Meng to open his Storage Bag so she could pick any one item from inside as compensation for the life-saving grace.

Without another word, Gan Meng opened his Storage Bag, allowing Xie Jiuniang’s Divine Sense to go in and look.

Gan Long wanted to stop her but it was already too late. As Xie Jiuniang was choosing, Gan Long was so anxious he was like an ant on a hot pan.

Xie Jiuniang was deliberately playing with the two of them.

In her previous life, the one who proposed that a life-saving grace should be repaid immediately was a female Cultivator in the green-clothed man’s team. And there was only one female in their team, and there was no doubt it was Gan Long.

So, borrowing the way she had suggested to repay the favor shouldn’t be a problem, right?

Xie Jiuniang originally thought there wouldn’t be anything worthwhile, and indeed, nothing caught her eye; just as she decided to choose the most expensive item, she discovered a Token.

A Fusang Tree pattern?

She immediately picked out that Token.

Xie Jiuniang shook the Token before storing it in her Storage Bag, “Thanks, I’ll take this.”

“No—”

Gan Long tried to stop her, “Little sister, can you choose something else? That’s an heirloom my mother left behind.”

“No can do.”

Xie Jiuniang walked away with a smile.

Gan Long wanted to say more, but Gan Meng held her back, “Little sister, let it be. If mother knows from the netherworld, she surely won’t blame us, after all, I’m still alive.”

Instantly, Gan Long fell silent.

No heirloom mattered more than her second brother’s life, yet it was heart-wrenching to let the only memento of their mother be taken away.

Xie Jiuniang glanced at the green-clothed man walking ahead.

This person was very cautious.

After spending an evening together, no one had even mentioned their full names. Considering I never saw this person again in my previous life…

Just walking a stretch of night road.

There was the territory of demonic beasts ahead, so we had no choice but to go around.

If we couldn’t avoid them, we fought!

Everyone had a thrilling night.

The most relaxed of all was Xie Jiuniang.

Some people started thinking about luring the demonic beasts towards her, then rescuing her. After all, her dealings with the Gan siblings hadn’t gone unnoticed.

A life-saving grace had to be repaid on the spot!

As long as someone saved her, they could use that as leverage to get the Wooden Hairpin.

The idea was good, but the execution was very difficult. She was like a slippery eel, sliding away at the slightest danger faster than anyone else, all the while peddling Featherweight Talismans.

Isn’t that annoying?

…

In the mountains at dawn, birds chirped and insects buzzed.

Dewdrops clung to the tips of leaves, scattering a soft glow in the morning light.

It was just before daylight when the group found a cave to rest in, rejuvenating their Spiritual Power.

Xie Jiuniang was full of energy, processing the carcasses of the demonic beasts outside the cave, collecting useful materials, sealing the large chunks of fresh meat that could be preserved, and cutting the miscellaneous pieces into small strips. She barely salted them and then dried them into jerky on a hot stone slab.

She was busy and thoroughly enjoying herself.

Meanwhile, in the great hall of the Tianxu Sect’s recruiting center, an array of mirror images floated in the air. The images shifted following the movements of figures within them, reflecting the current situation in the examination site.

One of the mirrors was displaying the busy figure making jerky.

The Nascent Soul Elder couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

Everyone else was desperately hurrying on their journey, yet this little girl was leisurely making jerky?

Had they even traveled twenty miles yet?

Huh, there’s someone else…

At this time, Cheng Huaixin was eyeing the properly made jerky, “Can this be eaten? The meat wasn’t even washed, was it?”

“No worries, I won’t eat it.”

Xie Jiuniang knew her cooking skills were nothing to shout about; how could she possibly eat her own creations? She planned to sell them, “Will you buy some? One Spirit Stone per pound.”

“Not buying!”

Cheng Huaixin firmly shook his head.

Little Profiteer with a black heart, making jerky from unwashed scraps and still wanting one Spirit Stone per pound?

Cheng Huaixin added, “I want to buy some Talismans.”

Xie Jiuniang, who had initially ignored him, immediately perked up, “What Talismans do you want to buy?”

“Three Featherweight Talismans and one Paralysis Talisman.” Cheng Huaixin took out thirty-five Spirit Stones.

Xie Jiuniang took out the Talismans and traded with him, smiling, “Don’t you want to buy more? I don’t have much stock left.”

“Too expensive.” Like I’d believe you!

Cheng Huaixin took the Talismans and turned back to the cave.

Xie Jiuniang felt she wasn’t charging too much; it was Cheng Huaixin who was too stingy.

Inside the cave, Axing expressed surprise, “Brother Cheng, you really bought them? Not to mention the Paralysis Talisman, but just a Featherweight Talisman costs five stones, and you could buy ten of them outside.”

“Her Talismans are better than the ones outside.”

Cheng Huaixin had paid attention to Xie Jiuniang using them the previous night, “I’ve seen her use them. I advise you to buy some too. The exam is harder than we thought, otherwise we’ll run out of what we brought…”

The other three were taken aback at his words.

Cheng Huaixin, indicating his intentions, suggested, “The three of us should go together to buy, and if we buy in bulk we might be able to negotiate the price. If not a discount, perhaps we could ask for some freebies.”

At the same time, he gave Axing a knowing look.

Axing got the hint and flicked her hair as she turned.

Immediately, an exquisite hairpin fell to the ground…

“Oh no, is it broken?”

Axing picked it up, seemingly troubled, and walked out of the cave.
