Eternal Tale

”Senior, is two pounds enough?”

”Fifty mid-grade spirit stones, right away!”

”Thank you, Senior!”

A figure suddenly emerged from the trash mountain, flying towards the sky, eyes filled with both surprise and fear.

The chubby Daoist, after receiving the spirit stones, flattered, ”Senior, you have a wise and spiritual heart, blessed with fortune, surely the immortal path will flourish for you!”

”Oh? Then I’’ll take your auspicious words.”

”Then I won’’t disturb you any longer, I’’ll go shop for you online!”

The chubby Daoist chuckled, knowing flattery always works, but upon seeing a certain figure, his face changed slightly, and he immediately ran in the opposite direction, where the red lion dog was, never to return.

Mo Fuyang was already in the sea of trash, persuading people with emotion and reason, could someone with this senior’’s strength have any ill intentions towards you?

Little Crane stood on the ground, her lively eyes observing the expressions of those shopping online.”Everyone, there’’s plenty of time ahead, I’’ll be waiting for you at the garbage recycling plant.”

Chen Xun’’s booming voice echoed once more, a win-win situation, not afraid they wouldn’’t come, ”This price will never change, nor will it restrict your freedom.”

”Moo~~”

Black Bull let out a long cry, his dark eyes rolling, fully understanding the concerns of these low-level cultivators, this was like a pie falling from the sky.

”Xun, wait for me!”

Little Chi was still in awe, seeing Xun and the others about to leave, he panicked and hurriedly chased after them.

After they left, Mo Fuyang continued his persuasion.

This matter just needed a breakthrough, once opened, it would spread from one to ten, ten to a hundred, and all the rogue cultivators on this Trash Island would be at the senior’’s service.

”Fellow Daoist, please allow me to consider this matter.”

A man with well-defined and righteous features declined, ”If what this senior says is true, I will go to that... recycling plant.”

”Hehe, alright, this senior will not disappoint you.”

Mo Fuyang courteously cupped his hands, his rich voice making him a persuasive expert, ”They will be there for the time being.”

”Thank you, Fellow Daoist.”

The man responded, still hesitant, feeling something was off, it seemed too advantageous for them.

Mo Fuyang flew to another area, temporarily gathering the online shoppers in this range, he already had some plans in mind, no one understood them better than himself.

Elsewhere, the chubby Daoist sat amidst the trash heap, picking up a compass.

”I knew I came to the right place, this Trash Island indeed holds great opportunities.”

His eyes gleamed with excitement, the compass had three needles, spinning rapidly without any pattern.

This chubby Daoist was named Song Heng, he had five options when he came to Trash Island, but the biggest reason he chose this island...

Was his family heirloom, the treasure-seeking compass! It happened to point to this island.

”Ancestors above, lend me your heavenly fortune, bless me with prosperity and protection from all evil!”

Song Heng placed two fingers of his left hand together, holding the compass in front of him with his right hand, ”Hehe, your descendant Song Heng will surely offer you annual sacrifices, if I soar to great heights, I will burn inferior spirit stones for you!”

After speaking, he began performing a ritual, his face still smeared with sticky black juice, uncleaned.

...

At the foot of a desolate mountain, there was a conspicuous yet simple building, with five large characters on each side, Garbage Recycling Plant!

Chen Xun took out a rocking chair, lounging on it with a cup of health tea, looking quite leisurely.

Little Crane sat on a small stool in the corner, with a small table just the right height for her, reading seriously, her black skirt trailing on the ground, her eyes filled only with contemplation.

However, Black Bull occasionally glanced at her, and Little Crane cautiously watched her second brother, both of them showing mischievous glints in their eyes, ready to play when their big brother wasn’’t looking!

Little Chi and Black Bull sat on either side of Chen Xun, waiting for a big deal!

Their eyes shone brightly, focused and prepared for anything.

However, a day passed, and the tea in Chen Xun’’s hand had cooled, probably because of the strong wind down the mountain.

”They’’re probably still searching for fragments, no rush, Mo hasn’’t returned yet.”

”Moo~”

”Xun is right, such a large trash field, only a few heard earlier.”

”Hehe.”

Chen Xun tapped the teacup, and wisps of steam began to rise again, ”Brothers, no rush, let’’s cultivate first.”

Another half day passed, and finally, two figures appeared in the distance, walking through the barren spirit grass.

Little Chi slowly stood up, squinting slightly, weren’’t they the couple from another race he met last year, their pale green skin was too conspicuous.

Little Crane put down her book, eyes filled with joy, but a stern voice came, ”Third Sister, focus on reading, calm your mind.”

Hearing the voice, she quickly lowered her head, sticking out her tender little tongue, and resumed reading.

At this time, the two figures in the distance came closer, one in the early Nascent Soul phase, the other in the mid-Nascent Soul phase.

”Junior Qing Li.”

”Junior Qing Wan.”

They cupped their hands from a distance, speaking in unison, ”Greetings, Senior.”

Qing Li and Qing Wan actually had no names, they had taken these human names the day before.

As descendants of immortal slaves, they were not entitled to names, nor would any faction take them in, especially given their mediocre talents, they could only cultivate peacefully in the trash field.

”Come over.”

Chen Xun smiled gently, ”Are you here to exchange spirit stones? Just name the amount.”

They exchanged glances, and the man stepped forward, bowing his head, ”Senior, we have about twelve pounds.”

”Alright, place them in the plant, Little Chi, go check them.”

”Got it, Xun!”

Little Chi shouted enthusiastically, he loved this kind of physical work, as long as it wasn’’t fighting, his Beiming Red Lion wouldn’’t hesitate.

At this moment, Qing Wan glanced at Qing Li, who nodded slightly and followed Little Chi into the garbage recycling plant.

Although the Great Desolate Black God Crystal weighed twelve pounds, the impurities could be dozens or even hundreds of times more.

No one but the online shoppers would want to store such things in a storage ring, as it would contaminate other magical artifacts, which would be a great loss.

Inside the plant, there was a loud clattering noise, Little Chi’’s fiery divine sense spread over the discarded magical artifacts, carefully inspecting them.

Qing Wan looked a bit nervous, the spirit beast’’s gaze was cold, and it was impossible to tell its race.

Qing Li was slightly taller than a human, but his pupils looked a bit eerie, he didn’’t enter, instead standing in front of Chen Xun.

”Senior.”

”Speak.”

”I noticed Lord Mo Fuyang is working for you, promoting the garbage plant here.”

”Oh?”

Chen Xun suddenly showed an amused smile, how did Mo Fuyang become a lord, ”Yes, that’’s true, this matter is also beneficial to you, I haven’’t taken advantage of you.”

”Senior, what are you saying!”

Qing Li was startled, eyes filled with fear, quickly explaining, ”Junior didn’’t mean that, Senior’’s actions are a blessing for us online shoppers.”

”Moo?” Black Bull looked puzzled, why was Qing Li’’s reaction so big, big brother didn’’t say anything.

”Well... Qing, go on.”

”I wonder if my Dao companion Qing Wan and I could work for the garbage recycling plant, I’’ve been here for over a hundred years and know some fellow Daoists.”

Qing Li paused, cautiously observing the senior’’s expression, but it remained calm and indifferent, revealing nothing.

Chen Xun took a sip of tea, speaking unhurriedly, ”Indeed, some manpower is needed, the trash field here is vast, including the entire coastline ahead, it does require a lot of people for promotion.”

Qing Li was delighted, he and Qing Wan had discussed this for a day, even naming themselves, just to communicate more conveniently with this human senior.

Given the senior’’s generous actions yesterday, joining him now was a long-term move!

”But working for me, I can’’t provide you with cultivating immortality resources like other factions, and I don’’t like trouble, just recycling garbage.”

Chen Xun’’s words were meaningful, his gaze becoming quite profound, ”Qing, do you understand my meaning, I won’’t force anyone.”

”Senior, Junior naturally understands, Qing Wan and I will not cause you any trouble!”

Qing Li responded firmly, not daring to look directly at Chen Xun, ”We simply want to work for you, not get involved in anything else.”

”Indeed, talking to smart people is easy.”

Chen Xun smiled, ”Qing Li, Qing Wan, I have remembered your names, I will watch your performance.”

”Yes, Senior!”

Qing Li’’s voice was a bit rougher, he was quite excited, he hadn’’t gambled wrong, this senior was indeed short of hands.

At this moment, Little Chi and Qing Wan just walked out, hearing their conversation, the five senses of Nascent Soul cultivators were exceptionally strong, and they didn’’t avoid anyone.

”Xun, the weight is correct, all are remnants and fragments of the Great Desolate Black God Crystal.”

Little Chi chuckled, feeling a bit professional now, ”Little brother’’s divine sense has confirmed it.”

Chen Xun waved his hand, directly handing three hundred mid-grade spirit stones to Qing Wan, without any hesitation.

”Thank you, Senior!”

Qing Wan beamed with joy, it was like finding a great bargain, enough spirit stones to refine trash for six years.

”Senior, we’’ll go promote your garbage recycling plant now, let more fellow Daoists know.”

Qing Li spoke with respect, even Qing Wan didn’’t know his excitement, it wasn’’t something spirit stones could compare to.

”Good, go ahead, do well, and you won’’t be treated poorly, do poorly, and I’’ll still take the trash you bring.”

Chen Xun’’s face always carried a gentle smile, making people feel like a spring breeze, ”No need for any psychological pressure.”

Qing Li and Qing Wan’’s expressions shook, solemnly cupping their hands, the earlier joy swept away by these words, they slowly turned to leave.

Black Bull had already started running into the plant to dismantle trash, eyes filled with excitement, indeed, this method was efficient, fast, and earned spirit stones!

”Xun...”

”What’’s up, Little Chi.”

”You’’re doing big things, little brother has already foreseen our future.”

Little Chi took a deep breath, the collection speed was too fast, just a few people, just one day, ”We’’ll definitely have plenty of spirit stones in the future.”

”Exactly, big brother is the wisest!”

”Third Sister, finished reading?”

”Ugh...”

Little Crane pouted and resumed reading, not daring to defy big brother.
