"Clan leader, can this senior successfully kill the dragon-bearded loach? Because of its troubles, the production of spiritual salt above the second level in recent months is less than half of the normal production, and it can no longer meet the needs of various shops and markets."

"If it weren't for the fact that the spiritual salt stored by the family has been consumed in recent times, I'm afraid we can only cancel cooperation with some shops."

A white-haired and bearded late-stage foundation-building cultivator showed an anxious look on his face. He is responsible for the external sales of the family's spiritual salt.

Because of the special nature of spiritual salt, the cooperation time of various shops and markets is usually more than 50 years. Once it is cut off, it will affect the family's income in the future. After all, there are not many spiritual places in Shen State that produce spiritual salt, but it is not only the Zhou family in Huangyan City.

The reason why the Zhou family can occupy more than 80% of the supply of the entire Shen State is mainly because the spiritual salt here is of excellent quality.

"Don't worry, Uncle Twelve. Dragon Beard Loach is just a newly promoted third-level cultivator who has not yet comprehended the innate treasure technique. This senior has a magic weapon on him, and more than one."

Zhou Shutang was full of confidence, as if he had some special means to detect the aura emitted by the unique magic weapon of the Jindan stage cultivator.

"I am relieved now. As long as the output of spiritual salt returns to normal, everything will naturally be under control. The provocation of some jumping clowns is not worth mentioning."

After receiving a satisfactory answer, the Zhou family cultivator, known as the Twelfth Uncle, turned around and left with full confidence, and was ready to organize the family cultivators to start work again.

"Shuyu, prepare five taels of third-level low-grade three-crystal rock and one third-level low-grade Houyuan Dan as soon as possible."

Zhou Shutang did not dare to be careless, and immediately ordered another fellow cultivator of the same clan and generation who was in the early stage of foundation building to prepare the required rewards.

"Sixth brother, is this the reward for this ancestor's action? Will the dragon-whisker loach belong to the family after it is killed?"

Zhou Shuyu asked subconsciously when he heard this. After all, this reward is far better than what the family had discussed at the beginning. The most precious one is Houyuan Pill.

The effect of the third-level inferior Houyuan Pill is just as the name suggests. Once taken and refined, it can increase the thickness of the mana in the Dantian of the Jindan period cultivator. It is a relatively widely circulated third-level inferior elixir in the Shen Kingdom cultivation world, suitable for Jindan early stage cultivators.

"Which of these Jindan ancestors is not a hawk who doesn't see the rabbit, how can they be easy to deal with? The dragon-whisker loach also belongs to this senior"

Zhou Shutang also showed a reluctant look on his face. After all, for the Zhou family, the value of this reward is not low, enough to equal the profit earned by the family from selling spiritual salt in a month.

"As expected of the Jindan ancestors, each of them is kind-hearted but treacherous. Just to kill a monster of the same level, they asked for such a high price."

Zhou Shuyu's face was full of pain. As the manager of the family treasure house, he was naturally clear about the preciousness of the two rare spiritual objects.

The annual output of the third-grade inferior Sanjingyan from all the salt fields of the entire Zhou family was less than five kilograms, and this time, one-tenth of the output was collected.

In the Zhou family, Sanjingyan is used to exchange for third-grade spiritual pills or magic weapons in cooperation with some alchemy masters or weapon masters. It is extremely precious.

Occasionally, some of it is also traded with Jindan-stage cultivators for some spiritual objects that are beneficial to the cultivation of the two Zhou family Jindan-stage cultivators. In short, it is rarely circulated outside.

"Don't talk nonsense here. Senior Sun is willing to help. Killing the dragon-bearded loach is a great favor to the family. We should be grateful and go to prepare quickly."

Zhou Shutang was afraid of arousing the malice of these old monsters with erratic tempers, so he immediately scolded them mercilessly to avoid unexpected changes in the family's subsequent plans.

After all, no one knew whether this strange Jindan-stage cultivator left a means that no one knew about to secretly monitor.

Not to mention revenge on the Zhou family for this, just evacuating and no longer hunting dragon-bearded loaches would bring them a considerable loss.

At this time, Sun Mingsheng naturally knew nothing about the changes here, and did not leave some so-called secret means for monitoring.

At this time, he had appeared in the first spiritual field marked on the map provided by Zhou Shutang. Under the sweep of his spiritual consciousness, the mark and breath unique to the dragon-bearded loach were still clearly visible.

"Dragon beard loach has a small amount of dragon blood, but it is too rare. Only a few can awaken and advance to the third level. It is appropriate to use it to hone their combat effectiveness."

"The Zhou family of Huangyan City occupies tens of thousands of acres of salt fields that produce spiritual salt, and they do not need any investment. It is really enviable. As long as the family has not suffered a devastating blow, the spiritual objects exchanged for these spiritual salts can keep the entire family in a relatively wealthy state."

The endless salt fields made Sun Mingsheng's eyes show envy. Only these are the foundation for a family to grow and develop.

Of course, the emergence of such salt fields is not achieved overnight. It requires the right time, right place, right people and strong enough strength.

Sun Mingsheng did not delay too much. He found nothing in the first salt field and immediately turned to leave to search in the next salt field.

Time passed by little by little in this search. Sun Mingsheng, who had never found anything, did not show any anxiety. Instead, he tracked the traces left by the dragon-bearded loach in each salt field.

The sun rose and the moon set, and the day and night alternated. In a blink of an eye, he had been tracking in the main salt field for three days with the late foundation-building cultivation.

"It turned out to be here, it finally appeared"

In a salt field with a grade of only the second-grade lower grade, Sun Mingsheng finally found something. A monster with the thickness and length of an adult's arm, covered with a layer of mucous membrane, was feasting on the already formed spiritual salt.

"Squeak"

After the dragon-bearded loach discovered Sun Mingsheng's existence, it was not afraid at all, but made a series of threatening sounds similar to the sound of a mouse, and did not discover his true cultivation.

"Flame Dragon Ring, command"

Since he had already found his trace, Sun Mingsheng naturally did not want to delay any longer. The magic weapon Flame Dragon Ring that had been nurtured in his Dantian for a long time suddenly turned into a stream of fiery red light and went straight to the neck of the dragon-whiskered loach.

With the support of sufficient mana, a layer of deep red flames on the Flame Dragon Ring also attached to it and burned fiercely, and the salt fields passed by along the way were instantly roasted into a charred black color with a fishy smell.

From the beginning of the attack, the original skills used to conceal his own cultivation were naturally announced to be lifted, and the aura unique to the Jindan stage cultivator also soared into the sky.

"Squeak"

The dragon-whiskered loach seemed to be accustomed to a comfortable life, and only then did it show a panic expression that was obviously slower.

It did not fight back at all, but a layer of light flashed on its body, and it immediately prepared to use its own flexible body to escape and save its own life.
