Chapter 195: Fu Shuangni’s Plan (1)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Wu Yan was a descendant of the Wu Family in Ji Hai City, but compared to his brothers and sisters, his talent in cultivation could only be described as mediocre.

Since young, he had always been a marginal member of the Wu Family. If it was not for the fact that he was a descendant of the Wu Family, which gave him a certain degree of convenience, he was afraid that he might not be able to reach the second level of the Qi Refinement stage right now.

To be able to reach the second level of the Qi Refinement stage, he had to rely on medicinal pills.

The problem was… When the elders of the family found out that his talent was just mediocre… They directly cut off his weekly supply of medicinal pills.

Right now, he was in a semi-free-range state of the family. The Wu Family would no longer waste resources for him to cultivate, but they would not go so far as to chase him out of the family.

This resulted in Wu Yan not having any chance to touch the core of the family’s power.

In the future, he was destined to be a marginal person.

Fortunately, Wu Yan had a little bit of ambition, and he was not willing to be a useless piece of trash waiting to die.

He tried to ask the elders of the family if he could to take over some business of the family.

The elders of the Wu Family gave him a chance.

The young Wu Yan took over a part of the Wu Family’s medicinal herbs business.

After several years of management, he took care of this part of the medicinal herbs business very well.

He received praise from the elders of the family.

Wu Yan watched helplessly as he was about to step into the eyes of the elders of the family again. However, the words ‘good times don’t last long’ happened to him.

A few days ago, during the process of transporting the spirit herbs, a batch of spirit herbs from the Wu clan had been robbed!

That was a batch of spirit herbs worth hundreds of low-grade spirit stones, not a small amount!

If this was taken away easily… Then in the future, he might not even be able to touch the business of his clan in the Wu clan.

Therefore…

He desperately wanted to take back a portion of the spirit herbs. Unfortunately, the people who robbed the goods on the way were Immortal cultivators, and they were stronger than him and the people he brought with him.

In the battle and slaughter, the people Wu Yan brought were all killed.

Knowing that he was powerless to take back the spirit herbs, he could only desperately escape from the dangerous situation.

He ran for more than ten days in the desolate mountain.

It was not easy to see the hope of survival…

In the end, he encountered a few demonic beasts and was captured.

He was tied up like a dumpling.

God knows how many demonic beasts there were. Whhy do they have such a deep understanding of the art of binding?

Soon, he realized that there were more than just a few demonic beasts here.

It was a group of demonic beasts!

This was a nest of demonic beasts!

Just as he was about to become the food of the demonic beasts in despair, he suddenly saw a demonic beast with a very special aura. Surrounded by a few demonic beasts, it came before him.

Then, he heard the demonic beast speak to him in a clear voice, “You are from the Wu Family of Ji Hai City of the Great Wei Dynasty?”

Demonic…

Demonic beasts could speak?!

Wu Yan was stunned!

A demonic beast that could speak human language was at least a Foundation Establishment stage demonic beast, right?

To be able to speak so clearly, it could not be a Golden Core demon, right?

Hiss!

Under extreme shock and fear, no matter what question Fu Shuangni asked him, he answered with a face full of fear.

“Yes… Yes.”

After receiving this answer, Fu Shuangni paused. She asked again, “How strong is the Wu Family? What is the Patriarch’s cultivation? What is the Patriarch’s cultivation? How many descendants are there in the family? What rank is the Wu Family in Ji Hai City?”

A series of questions made Wu Yan’s mind go blank. He did not know why a demonic beast would ask these questions, so he could only answer them one by one.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Fu Shuangni roughly understood the situation of the other party and the Wu Family of Ji Hai City.

She sized up this disciple of the Wu Family.

This unlucky guy’s strength was not that great, but his identity was slightly special.

Even if he was a marginal person in the family, he was still a disciple of the Wu Family.

Looking at the ashen-faced Wu Yan, she suddenly said, “Let’s make a deal. Let’s do business. If you don’t want to become the feces of a demonic beast, you have to cooperate with me.”

Wu Yan was stunned, his eyes wide open in disbelief, “Deal… Business?!”

Fu Shuangni said, “That’s right, business.”

“I’ll do it! I’ll do it!” Wu Yan was like a chicken pecking at rice as he hurriedly nodded.

He did not think that he could still live.

As long as he could survive… let alone business, he would even strip himself naked!

[It is difficult to fully utilize the medicinal efficacy of a spirit herb by consuming it so crudely. Even consuming ten stalks of spirit herbs is not as useful as eating a single pill.]

[You are prepared to sell the spirit herbs that your demonic beast underlings dug up to the Wu Family of Ji Hai City, and the Wu Family of Ji Hai City will use spirit stones and pills as the currency of the transaction.]

[You promise that in the future, if the Wu Family has a caravan passing through your territory, you will give them some protection, but the Wu Family will have to pay you a portion of the protection fee. Otherwise, don’t even think about passing through smoothly.]

[In order to prevent Wu Yan from being punished by his family when he returned, you lent him a batch of spiritual medicines. However, you asked for nine out of thirteen to return. Otherwise, the Heavenly Dao Oath will take his life.]

[This is the first loan you lent out.]

[With this, Wu Yan was successfully made into a traitor.]

[Threemonths later, the first batch of medicinal pills and spiritual stones were sent by Wu Yan. Any two ordinary spiritual medicines in the mountain could be exchanged for a Spirit Gathering Pill or more than ten spiritual stones.]

[You keep 70 percent of the pills and spirit stones. 30 percent of them will be stored for the operation of the organization, and the other 40 percent will be used for your own cultivation. The remaining 30 percent will be distributed to a group of demonic beast underlings.]

[Although you can only get 30 percent, the speed of cultivation brought by the pills and spirit stones still makes the group of demonic beasts jump with joy.]

[You realized that you gave too much.]

[…]

“They are so easy to satisfy.”

Looking at the demonic beasts in front of her, Fu Shuangni could not help but sigh, “Compared to the endless greed of humans, these demonic beasts are unbelievably pure.”

“As long as I give them a small favor, they will be grateful.”

Sometimes, deceiving this group of beasts would make her feel a little guilty.

Luckily, she treated them well.

After all, in order to make them follow her closely, she had painstakingly searched for a way to earn money.

It was to develop this organization.

“Although I can only hide in the mountains and not many people know about it, one day, this group of strange fellows will shock the world.”

Fu Shuangni had great expectations for this demonic beast group that she had formed.

She would not take in so many demonic beasts for no reason. She definitely had her own plans.

[Age 10, after two years of development, your territory has expanded several times. The number of demonic beasts under you has reached 200. You have accumulated more than 3,000 low-grade spirit stones and 250 different types of pills.]

[With the help of Wu Yan, this ‘Human Traitor’, you have laid down many avenues of wealth in Ji Hai City, seeking cultivation resources for your own organization. You have also developed fairly well.]

[Ji Hai City’s largest lending business is already under your control. There are already hundreds of human Immortal cultivators who owe you spirit stones.]

[Through various means, you have once again nurtured several ‘Human Traitors’ to help you take root in Ji Hai City.]

[Age 12, with the help of the demon core, a large pile of spirit stones, and the consumption of pills, you have broken through to the sixth level of the Qi Refinement stage!]

[However, the cultivation base that you depend on pills is not stable. You can not be invincible among those of the same level.]

[Age 15, after three years of bitter cultivation, you are only half a step away from the seventh level of the Qi Refinement stage.]

[Your number of subordinates reached 400!]

[You already have dozens of demonic beasts under you. You can speak the human language fluently.]

[One day, the demonic beasts under you found traces of the Clear Sun Sect’s immortal cultivators!]

[…]

“Your Majesty! Those three Immortal cultivators are dressed exactly as you described them to us. Therefore, we dare to guess that they are from the Clear Sun Sect. They are three sect’s Immortal cultivators!”

The one who reported the situation to Fu Shuangni was a snapping turtle demonic beast. This scene gave Fu Shuangni a sense of déjà vu.

She remembered the last time she simulated Immortal cultivation, the demonic beast that informed her that the people of the Clear Sun Sect had intruded into her territory…

It seemed to be this very big and relatively smart snapping turtle demonic beast.

“What should come will come.” Fu Shuangni was not the slightest bit surprised by this. She spoke in a neutral tone. “Bind the three of them. If they don’t attack our demonic beasts, don’t kill them for now.”

“Yes!”

The alligator snapping turtle lightly tapped its huge head and walked over with heavy and steady steps.

Fu Shuangni knew that the three Immortal cultivators were only at the fourth level of the Qi Refinement stage.

Moreover, they were all outer disciples of the Clear Sun Sect.

They did not have any special life-saving methods, nor did they have any trump cards.

This time…

Fu Shuangni no longer needed to personally arrive at the scene. She only needed to casually give an order, and there were hundreds of demonic beasts lining up to work hard for her. After all, demonic beasts also had ideals!

Although their thoughts were still relatively simple, under Fu Shuangni’s accumulated thoughts, this group of demonic beasts all knew one thing — helping their boss to do things could bring benefits!

They could make a fortune!

…

“Senior Brother Qi, something’s wrong! Don’t you think that this place is a little scary?” Among the three outer disciples of the Clear Sun Sect, a short man could not help but say in a low voice, “I heard that there’s a terrifying great demon in this area that killed an unknown number of demonic beasts. Don’t tell me we’ve barged into the territory of that great demon?”

Hearing that… Senior Brother Qi was also a little worried, but he still gritted his teeth in the end.

He braced himself and said, “We haven’t encountered many demonic beasts since we entered this mountain. If we don’t seize the time to hunt demonic beasts and accumulate sect contribution points, can we still be inner disciples?”

“How can we encounter any great demons? If there are great demons here, can’t we feel the aura of the other party?”

“Don’t scare yourself!”

As soon as Senior Brother Qi finished his words, the three of them suddenly heard a movement.

They were shocked!

Then, they saw a huge demonic beast walking toward them step by step!

The frequency of the demonic beast’s footsteps was not very high, but due to its huge size, every step it took covered a long distance.

In just a few breaths… It was very close!
