Chapter 68: My Future Is Not A Dream!

  At noon.

  Three people lay under the shade of a coconut tree, Long Hao Tian sat cross-legged on the turtle shell, while Mo Bei and Fang Luo You each sat at one end of the turtle shell.

  "Tired, tired to death...!" Long Hao Tian panted and stuttered: "This old turtle, really isn't easy to kill... I, I chopped until I was half dead, just barely broke through his defense, but he recovered in an instant!"

  "Right, right." Mo Bei nodded in agreement: "And our previous coordination must be seamless and tacitly understood, only then can we tear apart the vortex. Otherwise... it would all be for nothing."

  "It's just a pity that with my current strength, the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique can only be used three times." Fang Luoyou also didn't care about his image, rolling up his pant legs, opening the front of his shirt, wiping away sweat, and said with a hint of regret: "Otherwise, the efficiency would have been improved somewhat..."

  "Ah... the sun is so big now. It's scorching hot. Let's take a break first." Long Hao Tian stretched his waist and stuck himself to the turtle shell again.

  It's strange to say, after being exposed to the scorching sun for an unknown period of time, the turtle shell was surprisingly cool and warm to the touch. It felt extremely comfortable to caress it, and a refreshing sensation kept spreading from the shell throughout their entire body. This made Mo Bei and the other two people keep squeezing onto the shell, as if they wanted to stick their whole bodies on it.

  "Following the boss," Long Hao Tian let out a long sigh, looking up at the azure sky, and said slowly: "After killing enough monsters, earning enough spirit stones, and improving my cultivation. The revival of our family is just around the corner! My future is not far away! Boss, what about your future?"

  "What's the future?" Mo Bei heard this, a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. His gaze was distant, looking at the azure sea and sky that met at the horizon. His mind was clear and his eyes were bright, shining with a strong determination: "My future is to become immortal, to live forever!"

  Mo Bei said up to here, looked at Fang Luo You and curiously asked: "What about you?"

  "Me?" Fang Luo You smiled: "Unrestrained and carefree, enjoying the greatest freedom in the world."

  "That's a good idea." Mo Bei nodded with a smile.

  He suddenly smiled mysteriously, his right hand shook, and a crystal clear emerald green wine gourd fell out of his sleeve.

  "Huh! Boss, this is Ling Jiu, it's Yu Hu Chun! You actually still have such good stuff!" Long Hao Tian's eyes widened in surprise and delight.

  Fang Luo You also raised an eyebrow, smacked his lips, and a thread of drool flowed from the corner of his eyes.

  "Haha." Mo Bei burst out laughing, pulled out the wine stopper, and the jade jug emitted an irresistible fragrance.

  Mo Bei tilted his head back and gulped down a few mouthfuls, the liquor sliding smoothly down his throat.

  A slightly spicy wine went down the throat, and a warm breath began to spread throughout the body, following the meridians and spreading from the dan Tian, where the true energy suddenly became much denser.

  Intoxicated and exhilarated!

  "Hah..." Mo Bei let out a long sigh, still unsatisfied, and handed the wine gourd to Fang Luo You.

  Fang Luo You didn't stand on ceremony either, and as soon as he took it, he tilted his head back and drank wildly.

  Looking at the overflowing wine that wet Fang Luoyou's collar, Long Haotian was anxious and heartbroken: "Save some, don't drink it all up, leave one for me!"

  Finally, Fang Luoyou wiped his mouth and slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. His eyes lit up as he praised without end: "This spiritual wine's spiritual energy is truly rich! Although it's pungent when entering the mouth, its aftertaste is endless! Refreshing! Truly refreshing!"

  Long Hao Tian then grabbed the wine gourd and hugged it as he drank a few mouthfuls wildly.

  He was satisfied, returned to the previous topic and asked: "Fang Dashi, with your status, talent and strength. Not only is he the eldest son of the Seventh Niu family, but also the first of the four great talents of the Tai Xuan sect! Is there anyone who can control you? I think you are already carefree enough!"

  Fang Luo heard this and a wry smile spread across his face, shaking his head: "Carefree? The higher one's strength, the greater their responsibility. A life of having everything handed to me on a silver platter, I've grown tired of it, numb to it!"

  "I'm actually envious of you," Fang Luoyou said, taking over the wine gourd and drinking from it again.

  He looked at Mo Bei and the others, a hint of envy in his eyes: "You can do whatever you want without any constraints! Who else would care, who else would need to be concerned?"

  "Good wine and good meat. Quickly settle old scores! This kind of cultivation is what I call enjoyable, this is what I call refreshing! This is the great freedom that I pursue!"

  "Haha. Fang Shixiong, since you like it, then from now on, let's travel together and kill this demon beast!" Mo Bei said with a bright smile.

  "Really?!" Fang Luoyou's eyes suddenly lit up, his gaze burning with intensity.

  "What's wrong with that?" Mo Bei smiled and looked at Long Hao Tian, who also nodded repeatedly: "Whatever the boss says is what it is. If Master Fang can join us, then of course his disciple would be more than welcome!"

  Long Hao Tian stood up and said with a sincere and serious face: "Earlier, your senior had some prejudices, please don't mind the trivialities."

  "Haha, Long Shidi has seen through it." Fang Luoyou smiled brightly, with a hint of not holding past grudges.

  After everyone finished laughing.

  "Huh, right." Fang Luoyou suddenly changed the subject and said: "This year's annual Outer Gate Competition, how is Mo Beisheng doing?"

  "What's with the big comparison? What big comparison?" Mo Bei was completely bewildered.

  Long Haitian also shook his head: "Not clear."

  "You didn't know?" Fang Luoyou was slightly surprised at first, and then a hint of realization flashed in his eyes as he said: "That's the Outer Gate Grand Competition. It's also known as the annual Outer Gate Disciple Selection Trial."

  "When the time comes, whether new or old disciples of the outer sect, everyone must attend. I thought you all knew this news already..." Fang Luoyou folded a palm leaf and fanned it slowly, continuing to say: "It seems that every family will be very tight-lipped about this."

  "Since you don't know, I'll simply tell you."

  Fang Luoyou hesitated for a moment, then organized his words and said:

  "Participate in the Outer Sect Disciple Trial Competition, and the winner will receive a rich reward of spiritual stones. The top three will even be awarded with magical tools and positions!"

  "This is so rich!" Long Hao Tian's eyes lit up: "Looks like I need to cultivate well!"

  Mo Bei raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but ask: "Is Shifu saying that both new and old disciples will participate in the competition?"

  "That's right, but you don't need to worry, Brother Mo Bei." Fang Luo You took a sip of wine and handed the wine gourd to Mo Bei: "The new and old disciples will be divided separately and won't be put together for comparison. Otherwise, it would be too unfair!"

  Mo Bei's heart slightly relaxed.

  "But it's still early days yet." Fang Luo You smiled: "Let's hurry up and kill Xuan Gui!"

  Long Haitian suddenly jumped up, rubbing his fists and palms, with a scorching gaze: "The old master's spiritual wine is indeed effective, after drinking it, I suddenly felt that the true energy in my body was filled with many!"

  "Let's go!" Mo Bei gave the order, and the three of them drew their swords, walked out of the green shade, and continued to approach the slowly moving Black Turtle.

  The entire afternoon was filled with screams and the sound of hacking and slashing that never seemed to end on the beach.

  In the midst of the killing cries, Fang Luoyou's fresh and exciting battle cry was added!

  "Hey!"

  "Hah!"

  "Shadow Sword Technique!"

  "Wind Thunder Sword Technique!"

  "Earth-shattering!"

  In the evening, the sun sets.

  The white-robed attendants on the airship, as well as the disciples who had already boarded the airship, were chatting and laughing, each gathering in their own groups, contentedly admiring the spoils of war they had obtained today.

  Suddenly.

  "Huh? You guys see those three people..." someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed.

  Immediately, everyone's gaze followed in the direction he was heading.

  From afar, I saw the edge where the beach met the sea, three figures, one in front and two behind, with their backs to the sunset, laughing and chatting as they hurried towards the flying boat.

  The golden sunset scattered casually, dyeing the clouds at the edge of the sky a fiery red.

  The sunset is dazzling.

  The crowd of disciples looked towards the setting sun and couldn't help but squint their eyes, unable to see clearly the appearance of those three people.

  It wasn't until the three of them approached that people let out a scream.

  "Ah, I recognize him now. That guy is one of the new outer sect disciples who just arrived, Blood Demon."

  "That's his sidekick!"

  "How did there become one more person?"

  A sharp-eyed old disciple raised an eyebrow and exclaimed, "Isn't that last person Fang Luoyou, the number one among the four great geniuses of this batch of newly promoted outer sect disciples?"

  "I can see it too, how could this guy be with just two ordinary people?"

  Someone angrily said: "Hmph! It must be those two country bumpkins, using sinister tricks to cheat Fang Luo You and cling to a big tree!"

  As Mo Bei and the other two approached, they boarded the flying boat.

  Those foreign disciples stared at Long Hao Tian's spoils of war and their eyes widened in shock.

  "That, that can't be the Black Tortoise's shell!"

  One of the one-eyed disciples was furious and sarcastically said, "It's definitely not those two kids who killed him. With their abilities, how could they possibly have the skill to kill the Black Turtle?"

  The people around him nodded and said: "Yes, yes, with my current strength, I may not be able to cut through the turtle's defense!"

  Mo Bei and the three others ignored the crowd's cold ridicule, or admiring, or jealous eyes.

  As the flying boat rose, after half a time, Mo Bei and others returned to the Damoshu Market.

  Outside the Temple of the Immortal Crane.

  Mo Bei walked out of the Xian He Hall with a smile and said, "This time we've gained a lot!"

  "Lao, Lao Da, how many Ling Stones did you sell today?" Long Hao Tian opened his eyes wide, looking at Mo Bei with longing.

  Fang Luo You also looked up and gazed over there.

  Mo Bei smiled slightly, opening the spirit stone bag: "One Wind Crystal Stone, sold for two spirit stones. Today we killed five Black Turtles, a total of ten spirit stones, plus the essence turtle shells, a total of fifteen spirit stones, five per person!"

  "Five bucks!" Long Hao Tian was overjoyed: "This damn thing, it's almost as profitable as killing that monkey! And it's so easy, with hardly any danger!"

  Mo Bei divided the fifteen pieces of Ling Stone with the two people, each getting five pieces.

  Fang Luo's eyes were scorching hot, his head lowered as he stared at the five pieces of spiritual stones, remaining still for a long time. A satisfied smile was etched on the corners of his mouth: "So this is what it feels like to earn money myself, I like it, these are the spiritual stones I earned myself!"

  "Alright, today's task is complete, let's head back!" Mo Bei patted Long Hao Tian's shoulder: "Today's spiritual turtle meat was enough to eat!"

  "Go buy some glutinous rice, seasonings and ingredients. Tonight, hehe, we can make some money again and also change our taste, have a big meal!!"
