Chapter 1179: Chapter 705: Demon Bone_3 "Moreover, this operation completely relied on Young Master’s exceptional cleverness, extensive knowledge of formations, and organized coordination. This is truly what Young Master deserves." Mo Hua felt somewhat embarrassed by the lavish praise. However, he was also aware that Gu An, Gu Quan, and the other cultivators from the Gu Family were being so courteous to him mostly because of the respect they had for Uncle Gu, and that they were willing to let him share in the benefits. But these people were also just average sons from noble families. Gu An and Gu Quan, the two brothers, might have a slightly higher status within the Gu Family, but they were probably not part of the direct line. For average sons from noble families, earning merit points could be quite tough. Even earning spirit stones for cultivation was likely not an easy task on a daily basis. More importantly, he would need to ask for the help of these big brothers from the Gu Family in the future. After thinking it over, Mo Hua accepted the demon spine, "I will take this demon spine; perhaps it can be used to forge a spirit sword in the future..." "As for this demon core, Little Brother An, you can sell it. With the spirit stones earned, share it among everyone. Using them for cultivation or for a drink is good too." Gu An was taken aback and wanted to decline. Mo Hua firmly stated: "It’s settled then." Gu An was startled for a moment, then smiled slightly and cupped his hands saying: "Then I must thank Young Master Mo." The other Gu Family cultivators also showed joyful expressions, bowing sincerely to Mo Hua and saying: "Thank you, Young Master Mo!" The demon core of a Second Grade Peak water demon was quite valuable, and if sold, each person could get a fair amount of spirit stones. And Mo Hua’s guess was correct. Although the family was large, there were many mouths to feed. These average sons from the family needed spirit stones for their daily expenses, socializing with Taoist friends, and for cultivation and learning; they were not that wealthy. Taoist Court missions were dangerous and had many rules. Earning some extra rewards was truly not easy. A Gu Family cultivator laughed and said: "Young Master Mo, if you have any instructions next time, just let us know." The others also echoed in agreement: "Indeed, we will spare no effort." "Mhm, mhm." Mo Hua nodded with a smile. ... Afterwards, everyone left the well’s bottom and returned to the fishing village. The bottom of the well was dark and eternally without sunlight, always gloomy, but outside it was already daylight, the sunshine blazing through, and the fishing village was bright everywhere. Mo Hua released his Divine Sense to check the condition of the fishing village. The Divine Sense of the fish cultivators had recovered from the nightmare, and their expressions were no longer occasionally bewildered and lost, but most of their faces were pale, and they appeared listless. This was the appearance of having depleted Divine Sense. They worshipped an Evil God, their Divine Senses inevitably being devoured a bit, so it was normal for there to be some depletion. Normally with some rest and recovery, they should be fine and have no major issues. After scanning over and confirming once again, not finding any other issues, Mo Hua finally let go of his concerns. Yu Dahe carried the two children back home, placed them on the bed, fed them some Heart Cleansing Pills and Limberness Pills, and then used his Spiritual Power to clear their meridians. After a while, the two children gradually woke up, whispering: "Daddy, grandpa..." Old Yu was overjoyed, his gratitude towards Mo Hua overflowing. Yu Dahe pulled the two children up wanting to kowtow in thanks to Mo Hua. Mo Hua hurriedly prevented them. "No need for formalities..." Mo Hua smiled kindly, but upon turning his head, his Divine Thought revealed a startled look, and his gaze became slightly more serious. There seemed to be something wrong with the two children... On the surface, the two children appeared just as before, with no signs of injury on their bodies. But on their cheeks, as well as on their hands and feet, there was a faint white and very unusual Divine Thought mark. With each breath, the Divine Thought flickered, much like the gills of a fish. It’s just that ordinary cultivators simply couldn’t see it. Mo Hua slightly furrowed his brow, involuntarily recalling the nightmare where the two children knelt in front of the altar, undergoing fusion with two special water demons, their cheeks sprouting gills and their limbs turning into fins. It seemed that even after being rescued from the nightmare, the two children were still affected by the River God, resulting in some unexpected mutations. It was just unclear whether this mutation was good or bad. Mo Hua sighed inwardly, fell into contemplation, and then took out several Secret Manuals from his Storage Bag. One titled "White Wave Skill," including a "White Wave movement technique," and another called "Monster Hunting spell for Water Avoidance." This was the Water Series inheritance that Mo Hua obtained from Crossing River Dragon. In Mo Hua’s hands, these inheritances were just a few ordinary Cultivation Techniques or spells. But for these impoverished Fish Cultivators born by the water, they could almost be considered top-level Dao Cultivation inheritances. Dependent on the water for their livelihood, these water system skills and Monster Hunting spells were especially precious. "Take these Cultivation Secret Manuals, and have the children study them well..." said Mo Hua. Crossing River Dragon held the Secret Manuals with trembling hands. Old Yu didn’t know what to say, visibly moved, his eyes red with emotion, and kept expressing his gratitude: "Thank you, Young Master, thank you..." Mo Hua also instructed them, "It’s best to study in secret, don’t reveal your Cultivation Techniques, but you can teach these Monster Hunting spells for water avoidance to others in the village..." "Yes, yes, we will follow all of Young Master’s instructions!" Old Yu and his son nodded repeatedly, thanking Mo Hua profusely. The affair of the little fishing village thus came to a temporary close. Master She, the man in black, and a few others, including Crossing River Dragon, were to be escorted back to the Taoist Court by Gu An and the others. Such matters were not for Mo Hua to worry about. He had finished what he had to do and was now ready to return to the Sect to receive a "delivery." But just as he left the fishing village and got to the roadside, about to part ways, Mo Hua suddenly remembered something Master She had mentioned before: "...In half a day, the Pills will be ready for refining, and you can take them to the young master, considering my duty fulfilled." Refined Pills... to be given to the young master? Mo Hua glanced at Master She and asked, "Who are you supposed to give the Pills you refined to?" Master She was taken aback, shaking his head, "I don’t know... I only know it’s supposed to be given to ’the young master’." "But I only deal with Alchemy, I never meet with the young master." Mo Hua nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the others before finally settling on Crossing River Dragon. Crossing River Dragon’s demeanor was calm, but his Divine Sense was very restless. Mo Hua’s eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Do you know... who the young master is?" Crossing River Dragon dared not answer. Mo Hua continued to press: "Who usually takes these Pills to the young master?" Crossing River Dragon’s face twitched, his fingers involuntarily shaking. Mo Hua understood then. He looked at Crossing River Dragon, then commanded faintly: "Now, take the refined Pills... and deliver them to ’the young master’!" Mo Hua wanted to know, just who this young master was...
