Mo Xie's display of power caused all of them to be stunned for a while.
But with the experience of hundreds of battles, the Elders woke up from their state as they immediately dealt with the giant centipede.
With one of the giant centipede's weapon destroyed and the armor on its head removed, the Elders dealt with it in a matter of just a few minutes.
Although the two elders had received a few injuries, with a success like that, they are already blessed that there is no casualty.
"Little friend, we'd like to thank you for the a.s.sistance you've provided us, we would like to extend our grat.i.tude if you may, we would like to invite you back to our Clan."
"We also extend the offer."
Both the elders from Su and Shen Clan spoke, wanting to know Mo Xie's background.
"Sorry Elders, it is not that I am not giving you any face, but I only repaid the grat.i.tude that Fairy Lin had given me a few days ago."
Mo Xie rejected immediately as he looked at Shen Lin and spoke: "Fairy Lin, the debt from days ago, I believe is repaid."
Mo Xie clasped his hands as he immediately walks away.
Shen Lin looked at Mo Xie's departing figure, although Mo Xie only has a mediocre face, his character is one that needs to be looked upon.
"Let us go back." At this moment, Elder Ming spoke, nothing can be done if he Mo Xie had already rejected.
The other elder then remembered something and spoke: "How about the centipede's body?"
Everyone looked at the giant centipede's dead body.
"For now, let us bring it back to the Clan." Shen Lin spoke.
Then all of a sudden, the body of the giant centipede has been dismembered.
"Young Miss!" someone exclaimed.
Shen Lin looked at her subordinates holding something in his hands.
"That... That's a demon beast's core!" All of them stared in shock.
A gold ranked demon beast's core will fetch a hefty sum of gold taels! even spirit stones! Even if both Su and Shen clan combined, they only have a few pieces of it, around four or five!
All of them looked at the vanis.h.i.+ng figure of the youth, as they shook their head.
Shen Lin smiled as she spoke: "We will keep it first, we will give it to him later."
Everyone including the Elders and Xinyu looked at Shen Lin in shock, Shen Lin, the Academy's renowned number one frost beautiful actually smiled?!
"Yes!" Everyone replied as they woke up from their daze.
It is also their first time seeing Shen Lin, someone that's too cold to even smile, smiled! such an awe-inspiring thing actually happened for the first time!
All of them started to walk in the same direction as Mo Xie, they too, are returning to the Gangting City.
Xinyue couldn't help but tease Shen Lin on their way back, but Shen Lin didn't smile after that, just casually chatting with Xinyue again.

...
A few hours later, Mo Xie finally came back to the Gangting City.
The first thing he did is to head towards the Alchemist a.s.sociation, he needs to pa.s.s the lotus herb afterall.
'The Alchemist a.s.sociation is really on a low level here, such a shame.' With just this sign, Mo Xie can already see the reason why Gangting City is not flouris.h.i.+ng with top grade cultivators.
"Young Friend, what can I do for you?"
The receptionist inside the main gate asked Mo Xie who's been looking around.
Mo Xie looked at the one that spoke and immediately replied: "I'm here to complete the mission."
Hearing Mo Xie's word, the receptionist sighed and nodded: "Come with me."
The receptionist led Mo Xie inside a room that is filled with low level apprentice alchemist, there, a new receptionist can be found with a board sign 'Mission Board'.
Mo Xie was led there by the first receptionist and immediately left him alone.
"I'm here to complete the mission." Mo Xie spoke.
The receptionist is a lady that looks like an apprentice alchemist: "I`m Mu Xiaoli, which mission had you come to complete?"
Mo Xie lifted a clothe bag and placed it at the table: "The Lotus from the Dark Dragon Herb Valley."
Hearing Mo Xie's words, Xiaoli opened her eyes in shock.
"Please wait for a bit! I need to contact the one that a.s.signed it first!" Xiaoli immediately stood up and walks out of the room, heading to some other place.
"Woah, someone completed the Lotus mission!"
"It had been there for months now, yet it is only now that it had been completed? and it was even completed by a young man?!"
All of the alchemist apprentices started to chatter amongst themselves.
After a while, Xiaoli came back with an old man in front of her.
"Master, that's the one!"
Xiaoli pointed at Mo Xie.
The old man looked at Mo Xie and smiled, he nodded his head and spoke: "Young man, Thank you for completing the mission, I would like to look at the Lotus first and see if it is the one."
Mo Xie handed the bag to the Old man.
The old man looked at the herb as his smile further increased: "Great, this really is the one I am looking for! I want to do some research with it!"
Mo Xie smiled, but after a while, he looked at the old man, waiting for his reward, it had been 15 minutes since the old man agreed at his completion.
The old man finally realized it and laughs awkwardly.
"Hahaha, Young Man, I am sorry, I was too occupied by this flower."
Pausing for a bit, the old man continued: "My name is Mu Ye, the vice leader of the Alchemist a.s.sociation, I will be rewarding you now."
Mu Ye looked at his hand, there was a ring fitted in his thumb finger, he then flicked his finger as three bags were withdrewn from it.
"Woah, it really is amazing to have a storaging ring!"
"Yeah, only the elites possess such things, about thirty to fourty people has such treasure."
Mu Ye smiled as he handed the three pouches to Mo Xie.
Mo Xie looked inside and saw ten taels of golds, 500 gold coins worth! He then looked at the Old man and asked: "Why this many?"
Mu Ye looked at Mo Xie in shock, he then remembered something and spoke: "I forgot, I had already changed the price of the mission to ten pieces of gold taels to whoever accomplsihes the mission."
Mo Xie seemingly understood and nodded: "Oh, thank you then."
Mo Xie clasped his hand and walks off.
"Young Man, do me a favor would you? I would like to post a mission at the Sword Dragon Security a.s.sociation, I will compensate you with your time." Mu Ye spoke as he smiled.
Mo Xie smiled, what's there to hesitate, he is going back to pay for the 10% deduction anyways, might as well get an additional money.
"I will do it then."
Hearing Mo Xie's word, a lot of the alchemy apprentices frowned, the way Mo Xie is speaking to the vice leader of their a.s.sociation is too rude.
Mu Ye on the other hand didn't mind it at the very least and spoke.
"I would like to post a mission about intelligence, if anyone has any information about this lotus, I will pay them depending on the knowledge they impart on this old man."
Mo Xie's smile couldn't help but widened, he then looked at the old man and spoke: "Elder, you have a very great timing, I know a whole lot about it!"
Mo Xie's eyes couldn't help but s.h.i.+mmer with gold in its eyes.
Mu Ye was astounded and shocked for a while, he then chuckles and spoke: "Little friend, why not come with me then?"
Mu Ye's words changed from Little Man to little friend in just a short time, well, if Mo Xie is providing ill information, then, that will change again into scoundrel.
Mo Xie smiled as he nodded his head and followed Mu Ye out of the room.
"Did you see that? Vice leader Mu Ye invitated him to speak!"
"Woah! not even us Alchemy Apprentice had such luck!"
All of them became shock at the sudden turn of event, they were looking at Mo Xie's departing back with bewilderment.
