Chapter 103: Get Rid of Your Pet
The lack of resources was fatal for a family!
Back at the Frigid Cloud Valley, Patriarch Cai once told Lu Li that all the assets of the Liu Family could only afford for one warrior to take three tries at the Fate Wheel Realm!
This was to say that if a warrior aspired to become a powerful one, numerous resources would be consumed. Without resources, there would be no powerful warriors. Then how would the family grow stronger?
When warriors of a family saw no resource and no hope of the family, who would commit to the family? Who would remain loyal? Maybe disciples, let alone warriors of the External Clan, would defect.
That was the reality!
During the battle at the Wu Ling County, the Liu Family spent most of the family resources in order to ask that powerful warrior to fight for them. After that, in order to get to the Thousand-island Lake, they lost and abandoned many of their Mystical Materials and treasures. They didn’t even bring one booklet of advanced Xuan Skill in.
At the Sundown Island, they were blackmailed out of more than 1000 Xuan Crystals. The Liu Family was poor now, in fact, they were impoverished. If they could not come up with something fast, they would all starve to death when all the women, children, the elderly and the invalid were relocated here.
Xuan Crystals must be acquired!
As long as there were Xuan Crystals, the Liu Family could buy resources. Homeless warriors would be solicited, and the Liu Family would grow.
A group of Patriarchs discussed for a whole afternoon and made many proposals. Finally, they decided to purchase some seeds of the Blood Caterpillar Grass and see if they could grow some. Even if the quality was poor, the crying needs could be met when there was some Xuan Crystals earned.
Patriarch Seven brought some treasures from the Liu Family and went to the Blood Evil Island again. They wanted to trade the treasure for seeds and methods of growing Blood Caterpillar Grass.
Patriarch Seven came back after one day. Xue Chou was generous. He didn’t even keep the treasures. He gave some seeds to the Liu Family for free along with growth methods.
However, Xue Chou clearly stated that the lava land at the Blood Dragon Island was not good enough. Maybe they would only be able to recover the costs of planning Blood Caterpillar Grass.
What "costs"?
To grow Blood Caterpillar Grasses would require a large quantity of fresh blood, the blood of beasts and animals. Normally, only after a year would the Blood Caterpillar Grasses bloom and bear fruit—the Blood Caterpillar Fruits. If irrigated by a lot of blood, the growth cycle would be shortened hugely. The Blood Caterpillar Grasses could bloom and bear fruit in half a month, and the quality would be improved.
There was no large beast on the island. The indigenous grasses on the Blood Dragon Island were toxic, and therefore could not be used to raise livestock. Purchasing was the way, and in a large quantity no less.
Of course, there was another way, which was purchasing a Xuan Beast called Blood Rhinoceros. The Blood Rhinoceros was huge in size and had a strong ability in generating blood. Blood of this kind of Xuan Beasts could be drained on a daily basis. But, if so, the Blood Rhinoceros could live for only three months.
Whichever it was, purchasing livestock or Blood Rhinoceros, Xuan Crystals were needed. If the quality of the Blood Caterpillar Fruits were not good enough, money would be lost…
Whether they were going to lose money or not, Patriarch Seven and the rest decided that they must give it a go. Patriarch Seven brought someone with him to purchase the Blood Rhinoceroses at God-down Island. If they were to buy livestock, there wouldn’t be enough animals as their demand was huge. Also, to butcher animals everyday would be brutal and too bloody. On the other hand, several Blood
Rhinoceroses could sustain them for three months. It could be done once and for all.
Several days later, three battleships came back with six Blood Rhinoceroses. Luckily, these Blood Rhinoceroses were water-borne animals. They could float on the lake. Otherwise, the battleships could not take them all as one of the Blood Rhinoceros was of the size of a small mountain.
It was all set. Patriarch Seven chose an open space in a valley as the farm. He planted 1000 Blood Caterpillar Grasses and had someone to take care of them day and night. At the same time, blood of the Blood Rhinoceroses would be drained every day at a set time to irrigate the Blood Caterpillar Grasses.
Recently, Liu Yi would visit the farm every day, and so did many Patriarchs. They had treated the Blood Caterpillar Grasses as the pearl.
However…
Several days later, their looks became more and more awful. The Blood Caterpillar Grasses in the farms started growing, but the color was light. There was no luster. They were far worse than the ones at the Blood Evil Island. Based on the information gathered by Patriarch Seven when he visited the Sundown Island, theirs were of the worst quality.
"My cultivation speed is too slow!"
Lu Li came out of his stone fort after staying in closed-door cultivation for seven or eight days. Now, he could simultaneously release seven strands of Xuan Power in his usage of the Rolling Thunder Xuan Skill. He couldn’t release more. Repeated tests and comprehension was a must.
