Traveling through the Immortal Cultivation World: I Use Solar Energy to Cultivate

Time passed slowly, and the hunting outside the city continued.

As time passed, the number of monsters killed continued to rise, and those injured and unconscious monsters gradually woke up.

Most of the monsters realized that the situation was extremely unfavorable to them, and turned around and fled in panic towards the Monster Mountain Range. They knew that staying there would only lead to death.

However, there are also some monsters that are ignorant of life and death and have questionable IQ. After waking up, they completely lose their minds and pounce on and bite people madly when they see them.

Most of these monsters were quickly killed by the monks and became dead souls under their swords.

Among them was a pig demon at the peak of the Qi Refining Stage, which displayed astonishing destructive power after waking up.

The two cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refining, out of excessive greed, attempted to attack the seemingly defenseless pig demon, but their attacks were like ants trying to shake a tree, and they could not break through the pig demon's solid defense.

Not only that, their attacks made the pig demon completely awake because of the pain. The instantly enraged pig demon let out an earth-shaking roar, and then rushed towards the two monks like an arrow.

The two monks didn't even have time to make any effective defense before they were knocked away by the pig monster's powerful impact and died on the spot.

This bloody and cruel scene made the faces of the women watching the battle on the city wall turn pale and bloodless in an instant.

Wang Zhaojun was so frightened that she was shaking all over, and a sense of fear welled up in her heart.

She had just been imagining in her mind that she could easily kill a demon beast in the late Qi Refining stage, and then show off in front of everyone, making everyone look at her with admiration.

But when she saw the tragic scene before her, she truly realized the danger and was glad that she had listened to Wang Bin and not acted rashly.

Although a small number of demon beasts in the late Qi Refining stage managed to escape outside the city, most of them could not escape the pursuit of the monks.

Among those fleeing monsters, some had extremely bad luck and encountered Li Lei and Chen Fei who were on guard at the front.

Faced with this prey that had come to them, Li Lei and Chen Fei naturally showed no mercy and easily dispatched them. However, a small number of monsters still managed to escape under the cover of darkness while the monks were busy cleaning up the chaotic battlefield.

After all, there are so many monsters that it is almost impossible to catch them all in one fell swoop.

The entire city was now filled with the monks' laughter and joyful chatter, and each of their storage bags was filled to the brim with various monster materials.

Many monks looked at their storage bags, their hearts filled with joy, but they couldn't help but secretly regret why they didn't buy a storage bag with a larger capacity before, so that they now had to give up many precious materials.

Of course, there are also some people who are taking chances and want to be clever, so they take out a few more storage bags to load the materials.

But when they looked around, they saw that there were many monks present, and the city lord Wang Bin was sitting on the city wall, watching everything with a covetous eye.

Thinking of the severe punishment they might face if they were discovered, they had no choice but to give up the idea.

When all the monks completed the hunting operation, they did not leave immediately, but took the initiative to decompose the remaining monsters.

They skillfully classified and stored various materials, and stacked the monster meat neatly together.

Everyone worked together and was busy until the sun slowly rose in the sky, and finally finished all the work.

However, for cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, going without sleep for several days and nights is not a difficult task, so they do not feel too tired.

At this time, Huang Youcai and Chen Jun hurried to Wang Bin carrying dozens of storage bags.

"Reporting to the Lord City Lord, these are the spoils of this battle. They are basically the furs and skins of early and middle stage Qi Refining monsters, as well as materials from various parts of their bodies.

There are more than fifty storage bags in total. We haven’t yet made a detailed count of the specific quantity and value, but all the gains are here.

Only some of the monster meat is valuable, and since there is so much of the rest, everyone is allowed to take it for themselves."

Wang Bin looked at the pile of storage bags on the ground in front of him and was speechless for a moment.

Although these are all primary materials, there are so many of them that they must be worth a lot of spirit stones.

He knew in his heart that most of the precious materials on the monsters had probably been secretly divided up by the cultivators present.

Wang Bin turned to Qin Wenjun and the other three girls and said:

"You guys haven't done anything today, so take these storage bags to the backyard and sort them out. If you don't understand something, ask someone."

Then he said to Chen Jun and Huang Youcai:

"Go compile a list of those who have performed meritorious service in defending the city this time, especially those monks who released the poison and performed great merits. Be sure to record it in detail.

After the items are counted, I will go to Xihai City to sell these materials in exchange for spirit stones, and then reward them according to their merits.

Also, the reconstruction of the outer city will be assigned to you.

Except for leaving one street as the market place of Baiyun City, residents are allowed to build houses at will in other places. They only need to report to the City Lord's Mansion.

In addition, all the orphans in the city will be gathered together to build an orphanage. This city lord will raise them until they reach the age of sixteen.

The orphanage is located near the city lord's mansion for greater safety.

I'll leave these matters to you. I know you might receive some benefits when doing things, but we've just experienced a life-or-death test together. I hope you won't do anything rash or cause complaints."

Hearing the city lord's serious tone, Chen Jun and Huang Youcai hurriedly said in fear: "We dare not, we dare not."

Just after Wang Bin finished assigning all the tasks, Chen Fei and Li Lei also returned to the city one after another.

Li Lei was in a particularly good mood. He had reaped a lot of rewards in this operation, successfully hunting down more than a dozen demon beasts in the late stage of Qi Refining. If these demon beast materials were exchanged for spirit stones, he would have at least a few hundred medium-grade spirit stones, which was a considerable fortune for him.

Chen Fei seemed a little depressed. The Blue Flame Bird he had been thinking about had escaped. Not only that, his junior brother Yin Chengmu and junior sister Liu Xue were still missing.

Judging from the current situation, they are probably in great danger.

Thinking of this, Fade Chen couldn't help but feel irritated.

If the Blue Flame Bird could be successfully caught, that would be fine. After all, in the world of cultivating immortals, profit is paramount, and it is not uncommon for cultivators to be eaten by monsters.

But the current situation is that the mission has not been completed, his junior brothers and sisters are missing, and Yin Chengmu's father and uncle are both Jindan cultivators. If this matter is not handled properly, it will inevitably bring him great trouble.

He looked at Wang Bin with a smile on his face, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind: why couldn't all the responsibility be put on him?

But, what should I say?

Moreover, Aoki performed outstandingly in this battle to defend the city and made the greatest contribution. So many people witnessed his achievements in public. Even if I wanted to distort the facts, I'm afraid I would not succeed.

In desperation, his only option now seemed to be to truthfully report the situation of the Blue Flame Bird to his master, hoping that this news would make his master forgive him for the failure of this mission.

Just as Fade Chen was sighing inwardly, suddenly, two powerful golden core pressures surged like a tide, getting closer and closer.

Even the ordinary people in Baiyun City could clearly feel this powerful aura, as if two huge mountains were pressing towards them.

It was obvious that this was the aura deliberately released by the other side in order to show their presence.

The smile on Wang Bin's face disappeared in an instant. He quickly activated the formation in the city, while holding the shield tightly in his hand, ready for battle.

The other cultivators also sensed the approaching danger and immediately took defensive stances. The atmosphere in the entire Baiyun City instantly became tense.

Suddenly, there was a loud thunderous sound in the sky, and a golden light streaked across the sky like lightning.

In the light, two Jindan stage cultivators stepped on auspicious clouds and rushed over one after the other.

"Haha, don't be nervous. I'm Chu Wu of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance, the deputy head of the Law Enforcement Hall."

As the words fell, the two of them stood still outside the formation.

Chu Wu, who spoke first, looked like a gentle middle-aged scholar, but his figure was extremely burly, which seemed somewhat out of place with his scholarly face.

Next to him stood a thin middle-aged man with one hand behind his back and a faint smile on his face, looking quite handsome.

Before Wang Bin could make any move, Fade Chen quickly picked up the formation flag he had borrowed from Huang Youcai, activated the formation, and immediately went forward to meet him.

"Disciple Chen Fei greets Master and Palace Master Chu."

Seeing this, Li Lei hurried forward to greet the two Jindan cultivators.

After a brief reaction, Wang Bin also approached them with trepidation, imitating their actions and saying:

"Disciple Baiyun City stationed in Qingmu pays homage to Palace Master Chu and this senior."

Chu Wu nodded slightly, then slowly fell from the air.

"Okay, let's go in and talk. We received news that Baiyun City encountered a small beast tide, so we rushed here to provide support. We are also followed by a group of foundation-building and Qi-refining cultivators.

But it looks like the beast tide is over. Please tell me in detail what happened."

When the other people in the city saw that the people coming were their own people, and they were two Jindan cultivators, they immediately felt relieved and continued to busy themselves with their own affairs.
