Chapter 973 Overflowing with luck
Chapter 973 Overflowing with luck
A few days later, they were heading back to Dungeon City.
There were a few more things that Huang Xie had to take care of since there were still remnants of the Huang Family that were lurking in the city.
It seemed that he didn't want to leave a single remnant of the Huang Family behind.
So he worked with the Southern Cloud City Lord to hunt the rest of them down.
When the Southern Cloud City Lord learned of Huang Xie's identity, he couldn't help feeling strange about this request. But since even Lin Fan, the envoy of the Mu Empire was alright with it, it wasn't as if he had anything else to say.
After all, they had already brought proof that the Huang Family had betrayed the Mu Empire.
They had even already executed the members of the Huang Family.
So there was nothing wrong with hunting down these remnants since it would only earn him more points with the Mu Empire's central government.
Especially since this case was related to the Wu Empire.
Anyone who was anyone already knew about the Mu Empire and the Wu Empire's relationship, so they knew that anything related to the Wu Empire would be worth even more credit.
So in the end, the Huang Family was completely eradicated from Southern Cloud City, down to the very last branches.
After leaving Southern Cloud City, it seemed like Huang Xie was a bit lost.
It wasn't that he didn't know the way back to Dungeon City, it was just that he seemed like he was lost mentally.
The way that he acted almost seemed like he didn't know what to do now that he had taken care of the Huang Family.
But neither Lin Fan or Hei Gui said anything to Huang Xie.
They knew that at this point, it was up to him to figure out his future path. If they were to say anything to him, they would hurt him more than they would help him.
So the only thing that they could do was watch over him and wait to see what decision he made.
Of course, that didn't mean that he was idle.
He still followed Lin Fan as they headed back to Dungeon City together.
But along the way...
"Wait, master. There's something that I want to check out." Huang Xie said all of a sudden.
Lin Fan raised a brow to look at Huang Xie when he heard this, but he still went along with Huang Xie to see what he had found.
Huang Xie slowly moved off the road and started moving into the forest that was beside them.
This was a forest in the middle of nowhere, so it wasn't as if there was anything here. At the same time, this was a place that didn't have a strong concentration of spiritual energy since it was just a normal place, so it wasn't as if there would be anything special here.
Lin Fan was confused why Huang Xie was stopping in a place like this.

After walking for a while, they came to a clearing in the middle of this forest.
Normally, he would only encounter this kind of luck after experiencing some kind of trial. So for the heavens to suddenly give him an opportunity like this, did that mean that there was some kind of trial hiding behind the scenes?
As this thought passed through his mind, Lin Fan couldn't help raising his guard to see if there was anything that would suddenly come out.
But he found that there wasn't a single thing.
It seemed like other than normal woodland creatures, there wasn't even a single spirit beast that was in this area. This was a place that didn't have that much spiritual energy concentrated in the air, so it wasn't as if this was a place that could nurture that many spirit beasts in the first place.
So how did this truffle appear?
"It's a Devil's Ear." Hei Gui suddenly said after looking at the truffle for a bit.
"Devil's Ear?" Both Lin Fan and Huang Xie asked in confused voices.
But then Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to focus on the truffle and found that a description appeared.
This Devil's Ear wasn't actually related to the devil, it was just that it was named this way because of the strange shape that it had.
In fact, this truffle was equivalent to powerful medicines that were thousands of years old. This was an elixir that would help those in the Qi Condensation Realm greatly, which was what Huang Xie was currently in.
It was an item that was made just for him.
Only Huang Xie didn't refine this Devil's Ear in the end.
Instead, he put it away even though Lin Fan offered to stand guard for him.
When asked why, Huang Xie just said, "This is something that is better suited for Senior Sister Xiao. I'll give it to her when we get back."
Lin Fan shook his head with a faint smile when he heard this.
The relationship between his two disciples was one that he couldn't help being interested in.
He really wanted to know just how far they had gone, but they didn't tell him anything.
However, that wasn't the only reason that Huang Xie put the Devil's Ear away.
"I sense something else over there." Huang Xie suddenly said as he turned in a different direction.
Lin Fan was surprised, but he followed Huang Xie much more easily this time after what had happened with this Devil's Ear.
After following Huang Xie for a bit, he found that Huang Xie had found the traces of several other elixirs as well.
With Huang Xie leading the way, they were able to find and pick these elixirs in no time at all.
When it was over, they had a large harvest of different elixirs.
But the key thing was that all of these elixirs were for those in the Qi Condensation Realm.
All of these were perfectly tailored for him.
It seemed that he was suddenly overflowing with luck for some reason which made Lin Fan a bit worried.
After all, it wasn't as if he would have this luck for no reason, right?
