Godly Revival System: I Buy My Killer's Stats-Chapter 198: Cunning Azure Serpent Fiend Kings
Azure Profound Grass is a Special Rank 3 Spirit Plant that is not only useful for the Cultivators to create the Azure Profound Pills, but they are extremely useful for the Azure Serpent Leaders.
Only Perfect Quality ones have any effect on them, and the Good Quality ones are given to the Rank 3 and Rank 4 Azure Serpents for consumption, as it would greatly speed up their growth.
Hence, the Azure Serpent Leaders let the Azure Serpent Fiend Kings farm in their territories in exchange for half of the harvested Azure Profound Grass they nurture every month…at least that's what the Azure Flame Python believed.
"So, are you telling me that these 10 Perfect Quality and 100 Good Quality Azure Profound Grass you receive every month is half of what the Azure Serpent Fiend King nurtures every month?"
Seeing that the Azure Flame Python nodded its head, Ethan got an understanding of what was happening.
Clearly, there were exactly 1000 Azure Profound Grass, thriving in the Azure Profound Garden; however, the Azure Serpent Fiend King was giving them only 110 stalks of Azure Profound Grass, claiming that it was 50 percent of the harvest.
It was only 11 percent of the total harvest, whereas the remaining 89 percent was taken by the Azure Serpent Fiend King.
In short, the Azure Serpent Leaders were fooled by the Azure Serpent Fiend Kings.
"Senior, haven't you entered the Azure Fiend Garden before to check on how many Azure Profound Grass are being nurtured there?"
Ethan didn't reveal it; instead, he asked the Old Flame Python a question.
'Although I didn't enter this one, I entered the other two gardens when the Azure Serpent Fiend King was harvesting them. There was nothing wrong.'
The Old Python assured Ethan as it continued to transmit its voice into Ethan's head, 'The Azure Serpent Fiend Kings are always fair when it comes to the Spirit Plants.'
'Moreover, it is not just me; the other Azure Serpent Leaders take more or less the same number of Azure Profound Grass every month.'
"What? You were with the Azure Serpent Fiend King when he harvested the Azure Profound Grass?"
Ethan raised his brows for a moment as he suddenly realized, 'As the masters of illusions, they must have no problem fooling the Azure Serpent Leaders.'
That's right!
Ethan already knew that the Azure Serpent Fiend Kings had illusion-type skills, and since most of the Azure Serpent Leaders in the Azure Serpent Realm were either Rank 5 or Rank 6, they didn't have any problem in temporarily keeping them under illusions.
'For now, let's not reveal it and see what will happen when the Azure Serpent Fiend Kings don't submit their so-called 50 percent of the harvest.'
After concluding that the Azure Serpent Fiend Kings were fooling the Azure Serpent Leaders, Ethan became more curious about those kings.
'Even when I repeatedly harvested and planted the new seeds in the previous Azure Profound Garden, there was no change in the behavior of the Azure Serpent Fiend King, but these Kings are different.'

These Kings had to submit a portion of their harvest to the Azure Serpent Leaders every month, and what's more, they seemed more cunning than the Azure Serpent Fiend King he had encountered in the past, making Ethan curious of what happens next.
"Senior, when will you receive your share of Azure Profound Grass?"
Ethan thought about it and asked the date of the next submission of the Azure Profound Grass.
'It will be in the next couple of days.'
The Azure Flame Python answered, and Ethan could sense the happiness in its tone.
'No matter how powerful these spirit beasts become, their intelligence can't be compared to that of humans or humanoid creatures like the Azure Serpent Fiend Kings.'
Ethan shook his head and decided to see what those Azure Serpent Fiend Kings would do on the submission date.
"Senior, let's go and visit the other two Azure Fiend Gardens."
Since the submission date was in a couple of days, Ethan decided to speed up the process and harvest all the Azure Profound Grass.
With the help of the Azure Flame Python, Ethan visited the other two Azure Fiend Gardens that were filled with well-nurtured, mature Azure Profound Grass.
Like before, Ethan condensed the seeds, planted, harvested, and nurtured them.
"Senior, it is not much, but please accept this gift."
Once Ethan had raided…no visited the three Azure Fiend Gardens, and he decided to repay the Azure Flame Python for its help.
So, he took out 100 Perfect Quality Azure Profound Grass and three Perfect Quality Fiery Clearheart Lotuses, which were the most suitable items for the Azure Flame Python.
"T-these…thank you."
The Old Python was shocked at Ethan's generosity for a moment before accepting them without any hesitation.
The Azure Flame Python was on the verge of breaking through to Rank 6.
So, it believed that with the help of these Perfect Quality Spirit Plant Products…especially the Fiery Clearheart Lotuses, it could break through to become a Rank 6 Spirit Beast.
"Senior, I think it is time for me to leave the Azure Serpent Realm."
Soon after, Ethan smiled as he bid his farewell to the Azure Flame Python by saying, "I hope Senior can break through to Rank 6 when we meet again in half a month."
'I will.'
Looking at the disappearing silhouette of Ethan, the Azure Flame Python suddenly realized, 'Even after talking with him for nearly half a day, I still don't know his name.'
…..
As the sky darkened, both inside and outside the Azure Serpent Realm, numerous groups of cultivators hurriedly made their way toward the exit.
Among them, a lone figure silently left the Azure Serpent Realm, his presence almost undetectable under the cover of darkness.
It was none other than Ethan, who moved swiftly as he blended into the shadows and left without drawing attention.
'Sera, take your brother and return to the Small Courtyard. Your mission still remains the same.'
Ethan silently ordered his First Night Demon, Seraphis.
'Yes, Master.'
'Swiish'
'Swiish'
As soon as she received her order, Seraphis jumped out of Ethan's shadow along with her brother and disappeared into the darkness.
The siblings had only one mission and it was none other than protecting Ethan's parents.
'I have spent more time than I expected in the Azure Serpent Realm; however, it was totally worth it.'
Thinking about the gains from the Azure Serpent Realm during his trip, Ethan was fully satisfied.
'However, it is time for the next important thing to be completed in Greenfire City.'
Unlike the others who rushed to reunite with their teams or boast about their spoils, Ethan didn't waste any time as he rushed to Greenfire City.
...
Greenfire City,
Greenfire City was bustling with activity thanks to the influx of cultivators returning from various secret realms after completing their adventures.
The merchants set up stalls along the streets of the city as they were eager to purchase rare treasures, whereas the cultivators haggled over the prices of spirit herbs, beast materials, and artifacts.
However, Ethan paid no attention to the chaotic scene around him as he already had a destination in his mind.
He walked through the crowded streets and headed straight toward a towering building with the words [Starlight Merchant Union] on it.
