Chapter 40 -40: The Naming (Seeking Recommendations)_1

Along the main road, a young boy could be seen crying out while running and then stopping intermittently, it was Gou’er.

“What happened?”

Clothes fluttering in the wind, Fang Xi and his two companions had already encircled Gou’er.

“Wuwuwu… Hurry and save the boss! The boss is being entangled by a monster!” On seeing Fang Xi and the others, Gou’er rushed over to them as if he had seen a savior and threw himself at them.

“What? Another monster?” Mu Canglong felt a headache coming on, “What kind of monster?”

“Wuwu… I… I don’t know… We couldn’t see it at all; the boss just started bleeding, and so did Xiao Yun, Xiao Shu…”

Gou’er cried so hard that he could hardly catch his breath.

“Could it be… another ‘demon’!”

Mu Canglong looked grave.

“No! It’s definitely not a demon!” Han Fatty calmed down a bit and analyzed, “I once saw in an ancient book that ‘two demons do not appear together,’ meaning in one region, only one demon will appear! Since Black Stone City already has the Monster Tree, what Zhang Junming encountered should be some special kind of demonic beast!”

“A demon, huh?”

Fang Xi stroked his chin thoughtfully.

If what Zhang Junming encountered had been another demon, he wouldn’t have hesitated to turn around and leave.

But demons were different.

He had been planning to hunt monster beasts to sell their meat!

The progress of his ‘Eternal Spring Skills’ cultivation had been slow, and it was time to buy elixirs and rely on their power for cultivation.

And for that, he needed Spirit Stones, many, many Spirit Stones!

“Master Mu, you take Gou’er back to the caravan, I will go with Han Fatty to take a look!” Fang Xi thought quickly and made an immediate decision.

“Why does it have to be me?” Han Fatty looked slightly sulky.

“Of course it’s because you’re stronger,” Fang Xi laughed, thinking to himself that even if they encountered danger, this walking meat mountain could block disasters, and was a bigger target than himself. If not him, then who else but Mu Canglong?

…

Within the dense forest.

Bloodstains covered the gnarled roots and trunk of an ancient tree.

Fang Xi’s eyebrows twitched as he tore off a piece of cloth from the tree branch.

“It’s what Zhang Junming was wearing!”

Han Fatty pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the greasy sweat from his face, “It looks like Zhang Junming has met a bad end. Brother Fang, shall we just leave? This place is pretty creepy.”

“Yeah… An invisible demon, that’s pretty interesting.”

Fang Xi pondered, “Perhaps… the predator has not yet left after catching its prey?”

With that thought, he secretly channeled the Eternal Spring Skills, allowing two strands of wood-attribute Magic Power to enter his eyes.

This was the Spirit Eye Skills of the Immortal Cultivator!

Of course, without special cultivation, Spirit Eye was actually of little use in the Cultivation World, mainly for finding artifacts with spiritual energy in the mortal world.

But in Great Liang?

Something like Monster Demon meat was also considered quite rich in spiritual energy.

A flash of green light flickered in Fang Xi’s eyes as he scanned the surroundings.

Suddenly, his figure tensed up sharply.

Right next to Han Fatty, between the ancient trees, lay a semi-transparent monster!

The creature seemed to be made entirely of glass, moving tracelessly through the jungle, with its tongue slowly dropping down to Han Fatty’s side.

“Fiend!”

Fang Xi’s voice thundered as he threw a punch at Han Fatty.

“Ah!”

Caught off guard, Han Fatty instinctively activated his ‘Devour Sky Skills’ for defense, and then felt something very long wrap around his waist, sticky and foul-smelling.

“What on earth is this?”

He bellowed in rage, his body swelled up like a ball, and he actually managed to stretch the monster’s tongue apart.

At the same time, Fang Xi’s fist landed on the body of the monster, unleashing the explosive power of the Mixed Origin Strength!

Boom!

A series of explosive forces splattered green blood everywhere.

The sound of something heavy falling could be heard.

Only then did Han Fatty realize there was a creature on the ground that appeared to be made of glass, slowly regaining its dark green color…

The beast was over one zhang, more than three meters long, with sharp limbs covered in scales, and its eyes bulged out, whirling around ever so nimbly. Around its neck was a frill-like collar of skin, which from a distance looked quite majestic.

“What a large Chameleon Demon Beast!”

Fang Xi couldn’t help but think of a dog’s protective collar when he saw the beast’s frill and suddenly wanted to laugh, “Hahaha… Han Fatty, you were almost the main dish just now!”

It had to be said, the fat man made a decent meat shield.

From his angle, Fang Xi could see a large hole in the back of the Chameleon Demon, with green scales scattered all around it.

“Damn, nearly got done in today.”

Han Fatty’s face was also filled with Evil Qi, “Tonight, I’m going to eat this Monster Beast meat!”

In the midst of his roar, he leaped up, resembling Mount Tai descending upon its target, “Heaven-devouring Palm!”

Fang Xi shook his head, “You probably won’t be able to eat it!”

As he spoke, he coordinated his attack with Han Fatty.

This Monster Beast wasn’t particularly strong but was troublesome because it could hide and move unseen.

But after Fang Xi revealed its ‘invisibility,’ it was not so daunting anymore.

Before long, the beast lay belly-up on the ground, becoming a corpse.

Fang Xi didn’t waste any courtesy, pulling out a dagger and promptly carving open the Monster Beast to find Zhang Junming’s mutilated body.

“Uh… it looks like we really can’t eat it…”

Han Fatty shook his head with a tinge of regret.

“Sigh… who would have thought that after saying goodbye this morning, it would be forever! But since Xiao Yun’s body isn’t here, maybe he escaped?”

Fang Xi suddenly felt a sense of life’s impermanence.

After all, he had made an acquaintance, so together with Han Fatty, they buried Zhang Junming’s body before sending Han Fatty on his way.

After ensuring Han Fatty had left, Fang Xi slapped his Storage Bag, took out a Ghost Head Knife, and excitement shone on his face, “This Monster Beast’s hide should be able to be made into some special magical tools… Plus the meat and bones, not bad, not bad, they could sell for a decent amount of Spirit Stones.”

In that moment, his heart once again thanked that fortune-bringing youth.

If it weren’t for the storage bag sponsored by that old iron, hiding the corpse of this chameleon demon beast would indeed be a bit troublesome.

…

The convoy.

“Rest assured… The martial skills of our eldest senior martial brother are extraordinary; as a high-level martial master, he will surely bring your boss back,”

Mu Piaomiao was consoling Gou’er.

Suddenly, a meat mountain came flying from afar, landing in front of Gou’er.

“Where’s my boss?” Gou’er immediately asked.

“Dead!”

Han Fatty sighed and handed over a blood-stained piece of clothing to Gou’er.

Gou’er immediately cried until he fainted.

“Life is such… Let go a little…,” Han Fatty shook his head and returned to his own carriage to indulge himself.

Indeed, after freeing up a carriage for others, he summoned all his concubines to his own, forcing everyone to admire the horse pulling his carriage; it was truly a divine steed!

“The master has returned!”

Upon Han Fatty’s arrival into the carriage, he was immediately surrounded by several tender arms.

“Hehe…”

He casually took out a bottle of fine wine from beneath the seat, took a sip and said, “Mmm… I’m back.”

His eyes comfortably narrowed, leaving just a sliver of an opening:

‘That Fang Xi, he definitely has secrets on him, but they’re none of my Han’s business.’

‘Living a carefree life is the way to nurture longevity… I’m not greedy, I’m not greedy. Having a loving wife and beautiful concubines every day, being well-fed and happy, that’s all that’s good, that’s all that’s good…’

…

Before long, Fang Xi also returned to the convoy.

“Let’s set off and continue on!”

He looked over the people of the convoy and issued the order.

The team slowly moved on, and Fang Xi went to Gou’er’s side: “Do you have anywhere else to go?”

“No more…”

Gou’er’s eyes were lifeless, staring ahead.

“Then follow us to Tri-element City, I’ll recommend you join the White Cloud Martial Arts School, you’ll at least be able to scrape by with a meal!”

Fang Xi made plans to unburden the responsibility onto Mu Piaomiao without feeling the slightest guilt.

After all, once Mu Canglong arrived in Tri-element City, he would likely have to continue opening a martial arts school due to livelihood pressures.

“By the way, do you have a name?”

“No!” Gou’er replied.

“Then I’ll give you one. You’ll follow Zhang Junming and take the last name Zhang… As for your first name? Amidst talks of grand ambitions and laughter, one succumbs to a lifetime’s drunken spree… Let’s call you Zhang Mingding… no, Zhang Mingding will do!”

“Zhang?” Gou’er thought for a moment, then immediately nodded firmly:

“I’ll be called Zhang Mingding!”

“Good, very good!”

Fang Xi nodded, and suddenly felt as if Zhang Junming had somehow continued to exist in this world.

This was exactly what the ancients pursued.

‘Hehe… what a pity, such continuation is but an illusion!’

‘What family, bloodline, spiritual continuation, being remembered in history… none of it compares to becoming history oneself!’

‘I must reach Foundation Establishment and achieve longevity!’

The look in Fang Xi’s eyes was deep, but his resolve was firmer than ever.

…

A few days later.

Green Bamboo Mountain Market.

Fang Xi returned to the shantytown with his usual expression.

The Three-day Fragrance had long since dissipated, and along the way, he hadn’t noticed any unusually alarmed reactions.

After all, people often die outside the market, everyone is used to it.

As long as the deceased isn’t someone important, they would be quickly forgotten.

‘Moreover… If the Hundred Tricks Tower is looking for someone, they’re looking for a vicious brute who sells Taisui meat, what does that have to do with me, a small Spirit Farmer?’

After gathering some information, Fang Xi secretly let down his guard.

But Chen Ping next door wasn’t around, probably either in seclusion or pestering Lu.

Fang Xi didn’t bother with him and decided to go straight to Di Qi.

“What? Mr. Fang, you actually killed a monster beast?”

Di Qi sized up Fang Xi as if he was seeing the Spirit Farmer anew.

“It was just good luck, and this monster beast wasn’t all that strong…”

Fang Xi showed a shy smile: “The corpse is at my place, let me show you…”

Of course, he wouldn’t reveal his storage bag in front of Di Qi, so he directly placed the cut monster beast meat at home.

Di Qi came to Fang Xi’s wooden hut, saw the chunks of beast meat and the stark white bones, and finally believed him: “Sir, you are indeed lucky… Are you planning… to sell them?”

“Yes!”

Fang Xi rubbed his hands together, seemingly hesitant to speak: “I dare not flaunt this in the market due to all the scheming, so I can only trouble Sir to deal with this for me. If Sir is willing, I can give you a 10% fee!”

‘What a deal!’

Di Qi’s eyes lit up immediately, his family had a demand for such goods, and taking this back could be considered a small merit.

The key point was… he could make money from both ends!

He immediately perked up: “What rank is this monster beast? How many pounds does it weigh?”

“Probably a rank one low-grade… with three to four hundred pounds of meat, and the bones counted separately… as for the hide, I’ve kept that.”

Fang Xi answered frankly.

Even for a Spirit Farmer, it was quite reasonable to get lucky and bag a monster beast.

After all, who can accurately predict luck?

In any case, he didn’t plan on selling a second monster beast through Di Qi.
