Family Cultivation: I Can Store My Ability To Understand Chapter 22

Flying Snow Demon Slayer

Give it a try?

How?

His nephew's attainments in the wind chasing sword technique was already enough to shock Chen Xianhe.

Now, he actually said that he wanted to kill this late-stage first-level demon snake. How could Chen Xianhe believe this?

Just as he was about to dissuade him, the black-robed elder's roar reverberated in everyone's ears again. “Everyone, be careful. The beast is about to escape!”

He had just finished speaking when the layer of ice on the blood-spotted sea snake's rigid body gradually cracked open. Ice shards fell off its body into the sea, creating huge splashes in the water.

“Hiss!!”

The blood-spotted sea snake let out an earth-shattering hiss.

Everyone felt a wave of cold air rush to their heads. Chen Xianhe even noticed that the cultivator with the lowest cultivation level, the cultivator at the second level of the Qi refinement realm, was so frightened by the demonic snake's might that he was trembling in fear.

“It's over!” The black-robed elder cried out in grief.

However, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only run for his life.

The blood-spotted sea snake shook its huge body. Countless ice shards fell into the sea; some into the water and others onto the still-frozen surface of the sea, creating loud crashing noises.

It seemed that the demonic snake was about to escape.

Just as everyone was feeling despair…

A sword light pierced through the air.

The snow-white sword emitted a sword light that was almost three meters long. Even though they were hundreds of meters away from it, everyone could still feel the cold aura and terrifying power emanating from the flying sword.

“Nine feet of sword light! A high-grade first-grade flying sword!”

“Is that a high-grade first-grade spiritual artifact?”

“It's dead! The demonic snake is dead! Go to hell! Go to hell! Haha!”

“…”

When the black-robed elder saw this sword, a sense of fear arose in his heart.

Obviously, the power of this sword was sufficient to threaten his life.

At this moment, Chen Daoxuan felt that the air in front of the flying sword had become extremely sticky, as if something was hindering him from unleashing the full power of the flying sword.

However, this feeling only lasted for a fraction of a second.

In the eyes of others, not only was the Flying Snow sword terrifying, but its speed was also as fast as a ray of light.

Compared to their own flying swords, Chen Daoxuan's flying sword was more than twice as fast.

This was also due to the usage of the wind chasing sword technique that had reached the large success stage. Not only was the speed of the flying sword doubled while wielding the sword, but its power had also increased by nearly 70% .

The high-grade Flying Snow sword, coupled with the wind chasing sword technique which increased the power of the flying sword by 70%…

Created this astonishing sword attack!

“Hiss!!”

Faced with this sword attack, the blood-spotted sea snake also felt a fatal threat. It twisted its snake body desperately in an attempt to avoid the sharp edge of the Flying Snow sword.

However, it had just escaped from the confines of the black-robed elder's ice binding spell so, at this moment, its body was still stiff. In addition, the Flying Snow sword was too fast, so there was no way for it to dodge the attack.

“Chi!”

A sound similar to a hot knife slicing through butter could be heard.

The head of this blood-spotted sea snake, which was more than twenty feet long and about ten feet in diameter, was chopped off by Chen Daoxuan.

Seeing this scene, the black-robed elder was stunned at first, but he then immediately became overjoyed.

After regaining a portion of true Qi in his dantian, he immediately cast the ice binding spell again, freezing the demon snake's body that was still swaying about randomly after losing its head.

After the time it took to brew half a cup of tea passed, the last bit of the demon snake's lifeforce faded away under the effect of the ice binding spell, and the surface of the sea finally became quiet again.

“Is it dead?” The cultivator with the lowest cultivation level in the crowd asked cautiously.

“It's dead!” Chen Xianhe nodded and then glanced at Chen Daoxuan's pale face with a complicated expression.

“Great! It's finally dead!”

“It's dead! It's finally dead!”

“Haha, we've succeeded!”

“…”

In the air, other than the cultivator whose cargo ship had been destroyed, everyone was celebrating with joy.

After all, getting rid of the blood-spotted sea snake not only meant that their cargo ships were safe, but that they would also gain something unexpected.

As a late-stage first-level demon beast, the blood-spotted sea snake's body could be said to be full of treasures.

Of the corpse it left behind, other than the most precious inner core and poison sac, the snake meat could be used for consumption, its fangs could be used to forge special spiritual artifacts, and its skin could be crafted into a set of tight-fitting defensive soft armor.

Earlier, despite everyone's concentrated firepower, they were unable to cause much damage to the demon snake. The toughness of the snake skin was responsible for at least 80% of their attacks' ineffectiveness.

Although the snake's skin had been greatly damaged after the group's attacks, there was still enough of it to be crafted into a few soft armor sets.

After the black-robed elder carried the demonic snake's corpse onto his ship, he invited everyone to board his cargo ship.

When everyone heard his invitation, their ears all perked up.

Everyone knew that it was time to divide the spoils of war.

…

The black-robed elder's cargo ship was three times bigger than the Chen clan's Canglong. There were also many more array patterns on the ship than on the Canglong.

‘No wonder the black-robed elder was so nervous about his cargo ship,' everyone thought to themselves.

“Everyone!”

The black-robed elder was not aware of what everyone was thinking. His usually quiet face was flushed beet red. He was obviously very satisfied with the outcome of this battle.

“According to the rules of the Qianyuan Sword sect, those who directly kill the enemy will be recognized as the primary contributor, and they will receive 60% of the spoils. Those recognized as the primary support will receive 30% of the spoils. As for the remaining 10% , the five of you will split it equally. Does anyone have a differing opinion?”

The black-robed old man looked around, before his gaze finally landed on Chen Daoxuan.

Rather than asking for everyone's opinion, it was more appropriate to say that he was asking for Chen Daoxuan's opinion.

After all, this was a cultivation world where the strong reigned.

The strength that Chen Daoxuan had displayed just now was enough to make the black-robed elder look at him as an equal.

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads. “It's all up to senior.”

“We'll split it this way.”

“…”

Seeing that no one disagreed, the black-robed elder took out a hundred spirit stones from his storage bag and gave Chen Xianhe and the others twenty spirit stones each.

“The price of this snake demon's corpse is barely 1,000 spirit stones. If the five of you take 10% of the spoils, it will amount to 20 spirit stones each. Fellow Daoists, please count it,” the black-robed elder cupped his hands and said.

Among the group, other than the cultivator whose cargo ship was destroyed, the rest of the cultivators, especially the second-level Qi refinement realm cultivator, were all beaming with joy.

It was obvious that 20 spirit stones was a considerable harvest for a second-level Qi refinement realm cultivator like him.

After everyone put the spirit stones into their storage bags, they all bid farewell to the black-robed elder.

After sending everyone off with cupped fists, the black-robed elder looked at Chen Daoxuan and said, “Fellow Daoist, we meet again.”

“It seems that junior and senior are connected by fate.”

Chen Daoxuan smiled and pretended not to hear that the black-robed elder had automatically upgraded his form of address from “little friend” to “fellow Daoist”.

The black-robed elder also smiled and said, “I won't hide it from you. This old man has a presumptuous request.”

“Please speak, senior.”

“I want to use spirit stones to purchase the demon snake's inner core and poison sac. What do you think?”

After thinking for a while, Chen Daoxuan nodded and said, “Sure, but I don't want spirit stones. Do you still have any more of the water spirit pearls that you sold to me earlier today?”

The black-robed elder seemed to have guessed that Chen Daoxuan would ask this question. After all, although Chen Daoxuan was strong, his cultivation was only at the third level of the Qi refinement realm.

To him, the water spirit pearl, which could increase his cultivation speed, was naturally more attractive than other random objects.

However, to the black-robed elder, the water spirit pearl was of little value.

He was already at the ninth level of the Qi refinement realm. Unless he could break through to the foundation establishment realm, these treasures that could increase his cultivation level were of no use to him.

The black-robed elder took out five marbled-sized water spirit pearls and said, “Here are five water spirit pearls. The price is five hundred spirit stones. Regarding the remaining one hundred spirit stones, how about I give the demon snake meat to fellow Daoist?”

“Okay!”

Chen Daoxuan nodded in agreement.

They discussed how to divide the spoils of war.

Next up they had to deal with the corpse of the demon snake.

The three of them were all cultivators, so they used spiritual artifacts to divide the corpse of the demon snake very quickly. Within the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the demon snake's skin and flesh had all been peeled off.

The snake meat and five water spirit pearls went to Chen Daoxuan, and the snake skin, snake teeth, poison sac, and inner core went to the black-robed elder.
