Dark Dragon Herb Valley.
"Bring me these herbs."
Mo Xie is currently ordering the Tianshe Sky Dragon to gather some herbs, stating each characteristic and such.
After a while.
"Master, I've picked all of them off, all 38 pieces of the herbs you asked."
Mo Xie smiled as he patted the Dragon's head.
"Come to think of it, I need to have a name for you, it will be hard to call you Tianshe Sky Dragon every single time."
The Dragon nodded his head: "Please Master."
"I will call you Little Red since you have a red diamond shape in your forehead." Mo Xie explained in a very calm manner.
The Tianshe Sky Dragon looked at Mo Xie in amazement: 'How can you call an eight-meter-long sky dragon 'little red'? that will be a little too messed up...'
But as a servant, the dragon could only nod his head and replied: "A great name indeed, thank you for bestowing me as such."
Mo Xie smiled as he nodded his head: "Let us go first."
"Wait, Master, I had something inside the cave, I think you might find it useful." Little red spoke.
"Go on then, I want to see what those things are."
With a nod from his head, Little red came back to his cave, after just a few breathes he came back with a ragged blanket that seemed to be holding some things inside.
Little Red handed the blanket to Mo Xie as the other took a look at what is inside.
"Oh!"
There are three things inside of it, although all of these are useless to the past him, but Mo Xie smiled at the one item in the middle.
"A storage ring! What great luck!"
Mo Xie looked at Little Red and spoke: "As a reward, I will make you reach the black gold rank in a month's time!"
"Thank you, Master! It is a great blessing to serve you!" No matter what, Little Red had been dreaming to enter the black gold rank, he even tried to break through for the past 30 years but to no avail, hearing Mo Xie's promise, he couldn't help but be excited.
'Maybe Master has the Dragon Ascending Pill and is waiting for me to do something great!'
Mo Xie looked at little red and spoke: "Where did you get it?"
"Master, this cave was the previous dwelling of a cultivator, he left a few items there, helping me in breaking through to the 10-star gold ranked demon beast." Little Red explained.
Mo Xie nodded his head, he then looked at the other two items.
'Two gold ranked martial skills? trash.'
Mo Xie was about to throw it at the ground, he then thought of something else and halts his move.
'I can just sell it at the auction in the Gunting City!'
Mo Xie smiled, he then walks back together with Little Red, remembering something, he spoke.
"Little Red, transform into a bracer."
"Yes, Master!"
Little Red spoke as the light started to wrapped his whole body, he then turned into a dragon and immediately coiled around Mo Xie's arm.
Mo Xie continued his journey in going back to the Gangting City.

...
Midway on his way, Mo Xie had dealt with a lot of bronze and silver ranked demon beast, he also gathered all of their demonic cores and stored the silver ranked demon beast's corpse inside the storage ring.
He could make use of it, selling it to the market for additional money and such.
Then, just when he is nearing the foot of the Herb Valey, Mo Xie can feel a group of people fighting somewhere.
"Can you feel where those people fighting are?"
The eyes on the bracer glowed and spoke: "Master, 50 meters to your left."
Mo Xie nodded as he went over to that direction.
After a while, Mo Xie arrived at his destination.
There are about 20 people gathered there, fighting with a single beast that has a huge figure and long body, hundreds of steel like limbs.
"Oh!"
The twenty people are wearing two different outfits, the first ten has red robes while the other ten wears blue, they are surrounding two others, Mo Xie can clearly remember these faces.
"Lin and the lady that had called her."
Mo Xie smiled as he made his way there.
"A mere 8-star Demon Centipede are causing them trouble, time to repay the debt."
.
.
...
On their side.
"Young Miss, we better retreat now, this beast is too tyrannical."
An Elder from the Shen Clan (Lin's Clan) spoke, he is at the 6-star gold ranked practitioner.
"I agree with Elder Ming, we better retreat Young Miss."
Another Elder from the Su Clan had spoken (From the Clan of Lin's friend.) this Elder is at the 6-star gold ranked practitioner.
Shen Lin looked at her friend, Su Yuelin: "We will retreat."
"Un!"
Yuelin replied as they slowly stepped back, they had been childhood friends since 6 years of age.
"Fairy Lin."
Out of nowhere, a voice sounded, everyone looked at the silhouette of a Young Man that had called.
The Young Man is wearing an average black-colored robe, something ordinary citizens are wearing.
Shen Lin felt that Mo Xie is familiar, she somehow remembers him.
"Halt! do not move closer!" One of the guards had spoken, being targetted by a gold ranked demon beast, they couldn't help but be extremely alert.
"Fairy Lin, I am merely here to repay the debt of gratitude I had received from you a few days ago, those ten copper coins saved my life." Mo Xie spoke calmly.
Shen Lin remembers it as she waved her hands: "I know this man."
Hearing Shen Lin, they guards focused all of their attention to the centipede beast as they slowly retreat with the Elders as their vanguard.
"Come with us, we will talk after we are safe." Shen Lin spoke as she waved her hands for Mo Xie to come with their group.
"Fairy Lin, you misunderstood something, I told you that I am here to repay the debt of gratitude."
Mo Xie calmly spoke as he withdrew his spear.
All of them, including the Elders, looked at Mo Xie in bewilderment.
'Is he here to cause trouble for us since our Young Miss only gave him 10 copper coins?'
The other elder frowned too as he had the same conjecture.
Slowly, Mo Xie walk at the two elders and the demon beast, he then took a stance aiming at the giant demonic centipedes.
Mo Xie placed an inscription with the metal spear the same, something different from the previous one he used.
'I've inscripted a 'Towering Road Royal Pierce' in this spear, I can only use it for two times, hence, I need to make it count.'
Towering Road Royal Pierce is an inscription that can instantly kill a 2-star gold ranked practitioner, if effectively used, it can even kill a 3-star gold ranked practitioner.
Although it might sound weak, but with the current level of the place he is in, this is more than enough, for this inscription, he needed to use some ores as a medium.
Mo Xie opened his eyes widely as he pierced at the Centipede's direction.
The Demonic Centipede felt the strong pressure coming from Mo Xie, it immediately tried to evade.
'Screetch!" But it was too late, one of its largest limbs broke as it pierced.
"Break for me!" Mo Xie shouted as another pierce came from him.
"Swoosh! Peng!" A large part of armor from the demonic centipede's head crashed open as it flew backward.
"Elders! now!"
Mo Xie couldn't kill it, if only he used the Spear intent, he might've seriously injured the giant centipede, but he doesn't want to show his strength without himself having a strong power to back it up.
The Elders looked at Mo Xie in shock, what kind of power is that!?
