With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

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.

Lin Fan spread out his spiritual sense when they entered this clearing since he thought that whatever attracted Huang Xie would be in this place. But even after spreading out his spiritual sense like this, he wasn't able to find anything.

It seemed like there was nothing special about this place.

At the same time, it didn't seem like Huang Xie was stopping here.

Huang Xie continued past the clearing until he suddenly came to a random tree in the forest.

This was a very random tree since there was nothing special about it.

Just based on its appearance alone, it seemed like any other tree that was in this forest.

There really wasn't a single thing that was special about this tree.

But Huang Xie just stood there in front of this tree as if he was sensing something. He looked at the tree in a daze, almost as if he was trying to find something.

Lin Fan didn't say anything as he stood behind Huang Xie, looking at the same tree that he was looking at. At the same time though, he had released his spiritual sense in an attempt to find something special about this tree.

Nothing.

That was what he sensed from this tree.

There wasn't a single trace of spiritual energy in this tree, which was why Lin Fan wasn't able to find anything special about it.

When he was about to say something to Huang Xie, he found that Huang Xie had already gone down to the roots of the tree. He was bent over and he even reached his hand into the ground as he started digging through the earth.

After digging for a while, he finally pulled out something.

It seemed like a rock with the way that it was shaped, but Lin Fan could tell that it wasn't that.

"Are you a pig? Or are you a dog?" Lin Fan couldn't help asking himself in his mind when he saw Huang Xie acting like this.

That was because the thing that Huang Xie had dug out was a truffle.

Just how had Huang Xie smelled this truffle in the ground?

But that wasn't the important thing.

After Huang Xie held this truffle in his hand for a bit, he suddenly reached his other hand out and scratched at it a bit. When he scratched off a bit of the dirt, that was when Lin Fan suddenly knitted his brows to look at the truffle he was holding.

That was because when he scratched off the dirt like this, there was spiritual energy that suddenly came from the truffle.

This thing wasn't just a normal truffle, it seemed that it was some kind of special truffle that was an elixir.

It was hard to tell what kind of elixir it was, but the spiritual energy that was coming from it seemed to be growing stronger and stronger. It seemed that this thing wasn't just a normal elixir, it was some kind of special elixir.

Huang Xie had just searched in the woods and found something special like this…

It was hard to believe what kind of luck he had.

Or that would have been the case for normal people, but it wasn't the case for Lin Fan who knew Huang Xie's real identity.

As the Heaven's Chosen, it was only natural that he would have this kind of luck.

But the strange thing was why did his luck suddenly explode like this.

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?
