“Fellow Daoist, please confirm the amount.” The Golden Core cultivator handed her a brocade bag with a smile. “According to the rules, ten percent has been deducted by the alliance.”

Meng Qi nodded. She quickly glanced at the spirit stones inside the bag. In fact, this amount wouldn’t help much. But she had only one day more and still couldn’t find another way to make money.

“Shu Qian, these are the inner cores from two third-rank demon cultivators. And also the immortal devouring vines they brought.” When Meng Qi was about to leave, another person came. Even before he walked in, his loud voice already rang: “It’s so strange! Huajiang Manor is far away from the Demon Realm. Why are so many demon cultivators appearing here out of nowhere?! And they even have this kind of weapon, damn it! Fortunately, I was well prepared. Otherwise, those motherf**kers would already get on me—huh? Someone’s here?!”

When his last word fell, the man finally entered the hall. Meng Qi turned her head to take a look. It was a sturdy-looking cultivator, seemingly about 30 years old. His appearance was actually quite handsome, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and short black hair, making him look a little wild. The man had a beard and wore a short martial suit, which matched his brash voice and words just now.

The ‘Su Qian’ this person called was the smiling Golden Core cultivator who had just finished Meng Qi’s order. He was obviously very familiar with this newcomer: “Ji Wenyuan, I have told you before. Be careful with your words when you are in the alliance.”

“Sorry, sorry.” The male cultivator named Ji Wenyuan apologized with a low voice. This apology was for Meng Qi. “Huajiang Manor is a small place. There are very few people here. I don’t know that fellow Daoist is visiting our office. I’ve been rude.” He scratched his head embarrassedly.

Meng Qi shook her head and smiled politely. Her eyes fell on the two immortal devouring vines on the ground. As a weapon, they looked so unusual. Its shape was a vine full of green leaves and blooming flowers with a color corresponding to its strength level. However, the vines before her were halfway turned into ashes, as if being burnt by something.

“Hey, give me the money.” Ji Wenyuan said to Su Qian: “Two third-rank demon cultivators. This time I also brought back their immortal devouring vines. The reward should be more.”

Su Qian shook his head amusedly and threw a brocade bag: “Take it.”

“Let me see…” Ji Wenyuan probed the bag and muttered: “One third-rank demon cultivator is one hundred seventh-grade spirit stones…eh? Four hundred? Wow! Is this immortal devouring vine so valuable? If only you told me earlier, damn—ah, no, if I know it earlier, I would bring it back before!”

“Thanks.” Ji Wenyuan threw the bag into his own storage space. After briefly cupped his hand towards Meng Qi, he turned around and strode out the door.

Meng Qi’s heart suddenly jumped. After Ji Wenyuan left, she took the initiative to ask Su Qian: “Excuse me, fellow Daoist. Does the alliance provides a monetary reward for people who hunt down demon cultivators and immortal devouring vine?”

“Yes.” Su Qian still smiled at Meng Qi, but his eyes squinted. A cultivator still in the Foundation Establishment stage had just recovered a debt of a few ninth-grade spirit stones, but she still didn’t feel enough?

Su Qian was a cultivator who was about to enter the Nascent Soul stage. Even so, he would be very happy after earning a few hundred seventh-grade spirit stones. He was a little surprised but still smiled: “The reward for one third-rank demon cultivator is one hundred seventh-grade spirit stones. For the fourth-rank, it is one hundred eighth-grade spirit stones. If you also bring back the immortal devouring vine, the reward would be doubled.” After a while, he hesitated and paused. “For a second-rank demon cultivator, it is one hundred sixth-grade spirit stones. However, demon cultivators of this rank don’t bring immortal devouring vine into the Three Thousand Worlds.”
