Chapter 30 - Demonic Aura Erosion

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Seeing that the Wind Rock Demons were interested in the magnetic stone, Lu Yu raised the magnetic bracelet in his hand so that more Wind Rock Demons could see it.

It did attract the attention of a few more Wind Rock Demons, and they chased after Lu Yu. However, after running for a while, Lu Yu found that they stopped chasing.

After thinking for a while, he took out the magnetic stone fragments that he had asked Boss Tang to collect. He picked up a larger piece and threw it at the Wind Rock Demon.

Da ~ the magnetic stone fragments smashed onto the back of a Wind Rock Demon. The Wind Rock Demon who was walking back turned around and saw the magnetic stone on the ground. It picked it up.

It chewed the magnetic stone in two or three bites and ate it. The eyes of the Wind Rock Demon lit up. The taste of this stone was not bad!

It looked at Lu Yu. There was still a large rock doughnut in his hand. Then, it ran toward Lu Yu.

Seeing that the Wind Rock Demons were indeed interested in magnetic stones, Lu Yu quickly grabbed a handful of magnetic stone fragments and sprinkled them on the Wind Rock Demons. One after another, the Wind Rock Demons who had eaten the delicious magnetic stones stood up and walked towards Lu Yu.

More and more Wind Rock Demons felt the delicious taste of the magnetic stones and ran towards Lu Yu. Lu Yu raised the magnetic doughnut in his hand and ran towards the forest.

Attracted by the delicacy, the Wind Rock Demons finally left the gravel ground.

Lu Yu, who was running with the big magnetic bracelet, felt that the Wind Rock Demons behind him were much faster than usual. As long as he relaxed a little, groups of Wind Rock Demons would catch up with him.

In the end, Lu Yu realized that these Wind Rock Demons were really risking their lives for food, and their speed was getting faster and faster.

Lu Yu could only throw the magnetic bracelet far away and use the Eight Steps Chasing Cicada to get away while the Wind Rock Demons was running towards the magnetic bracelet.

Looking at the Wind Rock Demons chasing after the magnetic bracelet, Lu Yu felt a little regretful. This might be his last gold rush.

He did not have any more magnetic stones to attract the attention of the Wind Rock Demons.

He returned to the gravel ground as fast as he could. Little Tail was already filling up the sand. Lu Yu hurried over as well.

This was the last time. He could fill up as much as he could!

Although the pile of sand was scattered by the Wind Rock Demon and became smaller, the content of the iron essence had increased significantly. The iron essence particles were heavier, so they did not fly everywhere like the yellow sand. Most of the iron essence stayed where they were.

While digging the sand, Lu Yu wished that he had eighteen hands and could fill up nine sacks at once.

Peng! Peng! Peng! Heavy footsteps sounded. A three- to four-meter-tall figure walked out from the cave entrance at the bottom of the cliff. It was a Wind Rock Demon with skin like obsidian.

When Lu Yu heard the footsteps, he felt a great pressure approaching. He felt as if he was being targeted by a powerful creature. His heart was pinched, and he could not breathe.

Under the suppression of the demonic aura, the qi-blood in Lu Yu’s body automatically accelerated. He felt a force surging out of his body and breaking the suppression of the aura brought by the Black Wind Rock Demon.

Without the slightest hesitation, he grabbed Little Tail and jumped backward. He turned around in midair and immediately cast the Eight Steps Chasing Cicada technique after landing on the ground.

Using the Eight Steps Chasing Cicada to its maximum, he crossed eight to nine meters in one step. In less than a second, his figure appeared more than a hundred meters away, and he was still moving at a high speed.

The Black Wind Rock Demon looked at Lu Yu who had left, but it did not chase him. It looked in the direction of the Han Residence and returned to the cave.

Lu Yu’s qi-blood flowed rapidly in his body, producing rumbling sounds. He could only hear the sound of his heartbeat and the flow of his qi-blood.

He had no choice but to stop when his qi-blood had been used up.

Hot steam rose from Lu Yu’s body as he panted heavily. It was as if he had just come out of a steamer and was enveloped in white steam.

Little Tail was also flushed red from the steam coming from Lu Yu’s body.

After being put down by Lu Yu, Little Tail couldn’t even stand properly. She felt as if her head had been shaken into a paste. The whole world was spinning, and she fell to the ground and fainted.

Lu Yu could barely stay awake to buy a heaven recovery pill. After swallowing it, he completely lost his consciousness.

The Edgeless Blade Technique operated automatically, trying to correct the chaotic flow of qi-blood in his body. However, the effect was very weak.

When the effects of the heaven recovery pill came into effect, the Edgeless Sword Art gradually unleashed its power, clearing up the chaotic flow of qi-blood in his body.

When Lu Yu opened his eyes, the circulation of qi-blood in his body had already returned to normal, and the strength of his qi-blood had slightly increased.

Seeing that there was less than a thousand gold coins in his backpack, Lu Yu felt so distressed that he could not breathe. “I’ve lost so much this time!”

When he got up and saw Little Tail lying on the ground, he picked her up. Little Tail’s face was deathly pale, as if she was seriously ill.

Lu Yu touched her head. It was ice-cold, as if she was dead. Her entire body had lost all warmth, but Little Tail was still breathing. She was not completely dead yet.

If she didn’t receive treatment, she would definitely die in less than half a day.

Lu Yu knew that she had been invaded by demonic aura.

Mortals could not resist demons at all. Just the demonic aura from demons could suppress mortals and make them unable to move. Even worse, it would cause their bodies to be eroded and they would die in pain.

Martial art cultivators could rely on their powerful qi-blood to resist the suppression and erosion of demonic aura, but the qi-blood of ordinary people were too weak. They could not resist the erosion of demonic aura at all.

Now, they could either find a qi cultivating realm martial cultivator with a profound cultivation and let him use a large amount of spiritual energy to help Little Tail expel the demonic aura from her body, or Lu Yu could feed Little Tail an aura dispelling pill.

The aura dispelling pill was a medicinal pill specially developed for mortals. Its medicinal properties were mild and could allow mortals to consume it and expel the demonic aura from their bodies.

However, it was extremely expensive and very rare.

A family that could afford the aura dispelling pill would most probably have a member at qi cultivating realm. Therefore, very few people would make the aura dispelling pill. When they needed the qi dispelling pill, they would buy it.

Without any hesitation, Lu Yu hugged Little Tail and rushed to the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion did not have the aura dispelling pill either. However, it had money. With money, Lu Yu could buy game credits and then purchase the aura dispelling pill from the system store.

Lu Yu could not just watch Little Tail die in front of him. After spending the past few days together, his relationship with Little Tail had changed. He began to care for her.

Moreover, Little Tail was corroded by the demonic aura because of him. Hence, he couldn’t let Little Tail die.

If Little Tail was already dead after he regained his consciousness, he would feel regret in his heart.

But she was still alive. If he just watched her die without doing anything, he would blame himself for the rest of his life.

He had already treated this game as a real world.

He treated Little Tail as a real person.

“Give me the money right now.”

Lu Yu placed all the iron essences in his backpack in front of the shopkeeper of the Divine Weapon Pavilion. These iron essences were originally intended to strengthen the Hundred Forged Greatsword.

Seeing Lu Yu carrying a child and showed up without hiding his face, the shopkeeper of the Divine Weapon Pavilion was somewhat surprised.

However, he still recognized Lu Yu at the first moment and brought him to the private room on the second floor.

After weighing the iron essence that Lu Yu gave, the shopkeeper took out a light green crystal card and handed it to Lu Yu. He said, “This is a crystal card. There are 10,000 gold coins in it.”

Lu Yu took the crystal card. The logo of the Divine Weapon Pavilion was printed on it. After receiving the crystal card, he immediately bought the game credits and bought an aura dispelling pill worth 80,000 points.

“This is the remaining 324 gold coins.” the shopkeeper took out another money bag and gave it to Lu Yu, then said, “The crystal card given by the Divine Weapon Pavilion can be used anywhere in the Great Zhou Dynasty.”

“The crystal card in your hand represents that you have become a junior member of the Divine Weapon Pavilion. You can book a blacksmith of the Divine Weapon Pavilion in advance and customize a spirit weapon below third grade.”

“Of course, the blacksmith will also charge a certain handling fee. You have to bring your own materials to forge the weapon. If you don’t have enough materials, you can also buy it from the Divine Weapon Pavilion…”

Before he finished listening to the shopkeeper’s words, Lu Yu hurriedly brought Little Tail back to the small courtyard. On the way, he had already fed Little Tail aura dispelling pills.

Looking at Little Tail lying on the bed with a slightly relaxed expression, Lu Yu heaved a sigh of relief.

Not long after Lu Yu left, information about him appeared in front of the shopkeeper of the Divine Weapon Pavilion. This included the matter of Lu Yu buying the Hundred Forged Greatsword at the Tang Blacksmith Shop.

Previously, the shopkeeper of the Divine Weapon Pavilion didn’t think of investigating Lu Yi. To him, Lu Yu was just a regular person who had iron essence. It would not attract his attention.

However, as long as he wanted to investigate, with the powerful background of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, he could obtain detailed information from many sources.

Those organizations that specialized in selling information were much better than Han Residence.

According to the information, there was a high possibility that Ma Gang was killed by Lu Yu. The wounds on Ma Gang’s body matched with the injuries caused by the Hundred Forged Greatsword.

After learning that Lu Yu had only cultivated for less than a month and had the strength to kill a sixth level body refining realm martial cultivator, the shopkeeper of the Divine Weapon Pavilion was excited.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion adopted a policy of getting close to these geniuses. As for those members of the Divine Weapon Pavilion who were able to find geniuses, they would receive generous reward.

A genius of Lu Yu’s level might not be that impressive in the entire Great Zhou Empire, but in Bei Feng City, or even in the entire Bei Feng Province, he could be considered a first-rate genius.

The shopkeeper foresaw that he would receive commendation from the headquarters and was promoted to leave this remote small town, his future would be bright.

He hurriedly took out the precious thousand-mile communication talisman and filled in Lu Yu’s information on it. Then, he activated it with his spiritual energy. The thousand-mile communication talisman slowly burned in the air and disappeared.

Next, he waited for the news from the headquarters. The shopkeeper of the Divine Weapon Pavilion looked in the direction of the Han Residence.

…

“Water, thirsty…” Little Tail muttered unconsciously.

Lu Yu quickly poured some water for her to drink. He patted her head and found that her body temperature had returned to normal.

He covered her with the blanket and left the small courtyard. He came to the river where he often washed the sand. Looking at the flowing river water, Lu Yu reflected on his recklessness and impulsiveness.

“Sigh” he sighed and took out the yellow sand that he had dug up today. This was the last time he panned for iron essence.

Very soon, Lu Yu filtered the yellow sand, leaving behind large grains of sand and iron essence.

After all of them were processed, Lu Yu was pleasantly surprised to find that today’s harvest might be able to earn back all the money he had spent for the past two days.

After the filtration, there was a whole sack full of sand and iron essence. Moreover, the proportion of iron essence was much more than the previous batches, and it was clearly visible to the naked eye.

He quickly brought the sack back to the small courtyard..
