Everyone on the Mountain Calls Me Yang Shiyilang

"Anything goes! So that's what it is – finding something to suppress the formation's core. Only by setting up a formation would the attributes not matter," Yang Xuesheng thought to herself.

She never imagined that this young man with such low cultivation was trying to cultivate a Forbidden Technique of the Demon Race.

Chen Ganliu hadn't made any specific demands. After all, any monster's inner core could be used to cultivate the Heavenly Demon Vein Shifting Method. As for the Spiritual Vein that would be cultivated, who cared about its attributes? As long as it was complete, it would be better than his current Severed Vein.

When Yang Xuesheng asked him if his "elders had any requirements," Chen Ganliu didn't want to explain at all. He had no elders, and this misunderstanding was a good thing.

The young woman was extremely familiar with this Immortal Market. After circling it for a while, she led Chen Ganliu to a thatched hut.

A beautiful and alluring lady with a human upper body and a snake's tail emerged. Seeing Yang Xuesheng, she smiled and said, "Oh, it's the Young Mountain Master. What brings you here?"

Yang Xuesheng smiled, "Sister Bai, don't you have a Wood Demon Pearl? I'll find you a buyer."

Chen Ganliu stood by, not exactly trembling, but his skin felt tight.

This woman's upper body had already transformed into a human form. She was at least a Great Demon of Qi Refining level seven, with over a thousand years of cultivation. Eating a few children raw wouldn't even be enough to pick her teeth.

When he heard the woman surnamed Bai call Yang Xuesheng "Young Mountain Master," a thought flashed through his mind. He remembered that the Great Demon of Jinyun Mountain called himself Yang, and the entire mountain called him Yang Shiyilang!

He couldn't help but stammer, "Sister Sheng! Is your father perhaps Mountain Master Yang, Lord Shiyilang?"

The snake demon surnamed Bai chuckled, "Xuesheng is my Mountain Master's only beloved daughter, the Young Mountain Master of Jinyun Mountain."

Chen Ganliu hadn't expected that after escaping from two demonesses, he would once again "fall" into the hands of a female demon. His wife in his previous life was a bit vulgar, and in his last life, he only had his Senior Sister. In this life, he had harmed a female devil and a female demon.

All in all, his fate was truly bad when it came to romance. A hero's end, losing his virginity.

He wanted to say, "I'm willing to offer all my wealth, just let me leave." But it seemed the atmosphere wasn't right yet, and saying it would only bring ridicule.

Bai Yunniang felt a slight curiosity. She thought, "This young man's cultivation isn't that high, why does the Young Mountain Master seem to be protecting him so much? I wonder if he has the financial means to buy that Wood Demon Pearl?"

She said leisurely, "Although I'm giving the Young Mountain Master face, my Wood Demon Pearl is of excellent quality. It definitely won't be sold for less than five Low-grade Spirit Stones."

The price of raw Spirit Stones ranged from two hundred to five hundred Talisman Coins, and Low-grade Spirit Stones started at two to three thousand Talisman Coins.

When Chen Ganliu heard the snake demon surnamed Bai quoting a price of over ten thousand Talisman Coins, he cursed the merchant in his heart. He didn't dare to hesitate, but his hands were quick. He took out five Spirit Stones and handed them over, saying, "This price is excellent."

He just wanted to leave quickly. Facing a snake demon of Qi Refining level seven or higher, who had already cultivated her upper body into a human form, staying for even another second would be disrespectful to her thousand years of cultivation.

Bai Yunniang was quite surprised. "What a straightforward young man."

She then opened her delicate mouth slightly and spat out a jade-green bead. She caught it with her slender, fair hand and handed it to Chen Ganliu.

Although Chen Ganliu smelled a faint, rich fragrance from the jade-green bead, and it seemed even more alluring coming from the mouth of a beauty like Bai Yunniang, he had no thoughts of romance, only fear.

After taking it, he hastily tore off a piece of his clothes and wrapped it up carefully. He didn't dare to wipe his hands in front of Bai Yunniang, but he felt his palm itching. He thought, "I wonder what kind of snake her true form is, and if it's poisonous? If it is, how potent is the venom?"

Seeing that the transaction went smoothly, Yang Xuesheng felt that her matchmaking had been very successful. She laughed, "I didn't expect this deal to actually go through."

"Sister Bai's Wood Demon Pearl hasn't sold for years, and it only sold with my help. You should treat us to a meal!"

Bai Yunniang smiled, "If the Young Mountain Master is willing to stay and eat with me, Bai Yunniang is of course infinitely welcome. Young man, would you like to join us? Yunniang also has some home-style cooking skills, and I dare say my cooking is no less than that of famous chefs in the capital!"

Chen Ganliu hurriedly said, "I still have my elders waiting for me. I won't have the good fortune to eat today."

Bai Yunniang smiled slightly and said, "If you come to Jinyun Immortal Market again, you can always come to Yunniang's place. A cup of tea and a meal, I will certainly entertain you wholeheartedly."

Cold sweat broke out on Chen Ganliu's back. He forced himself to calm down, bid farewell to the two women, and ambled away. About a hundred paces away, he frantically tapped his Light Talisman, picked up his pace, and ran straight out of Jinyun Immortal Market.

Unless one has truly experienced it, how could anyone know the pressure of facing a Great Demon?

Even if the Great Demon spoke and smiled amiably, she was still a being capable of revealing her true form and destroying cities and formations. He couldn't help but be afraid.

Perhaps some mortals wouldn't be afraid, but as a cultivator, Chen Ganliu was truly terrified because he genuinely knew how formidable a thousand-year-old Great Demon was.

After leaving Jinyun Immortal Market, Chen Ganliu didn't dare to linger in the vicinity. After all, Jinyun Mountain was the territory of the Great Demon Yang Shiyilang, who had countless lesser demons under him. Even if he encountered the weakest one, he would definitely not be able to defeat it.

Leaving Jinyun Immortal Market, Chen Ganliu released the Talisman Black Donkey and rode it directly south. He chose this direction because he had heard in his early years that about a hundred miles south of Jinyun Mountain, there was an Immortal Market called Talisman Collection.

The Talisman Collection Immortal Market was the most concentrated gathering place for Talisman Masters within the Great Gan Dynasty. Nearby, there was only one sect, the Green Leaf Sect, known as the second immortal sect of Great Gan.

The founding ancestor of the Green Leaf Sect had the cultivation of the True Yang Realm, and the sect had several Great Cultivators of the Spirit Embryo Realm. They were renowned for their talisman techniques, especially their Green Leaf Spirit Talisman Technique, which was best at healing injuries, curing illnesses, and dispelling evil. It was very famous among cultivators in Great Gan. Even the Immortal Encounter Sect would send people to purchase it and distribute it to their disciples. Other sects in Great Gan also eagerly sought Green Leaf Talismans. In terms of sect strength and number of disciples, they were only second to the Immortal Encounter Sect and would certainly not fear Great Demons like Yang Shiyilang, and could keep the demons of Jinyun Mountain in check.

Cultivation emphasizes dharma, companions, resources, and location. Among these, the place of cultivation, although not as important as the cultivation method, companions, or resources, ranked last but was not dispensable.

Given the same aptitude, the same diligence, and the same cultivation technique, one in a blessed land with abundant spiritual energy and another in desolate mountains with scarce spiritual energy would have their cultivation progress differ by hundreds of times. The former might achieve cultivation in decades, while the latter might not even pass the initial stage of cultivation before death.

Therefore, even if there were some dangers, Chen Ganliu would still seek a spiritual land. If there was no spiritual land, an Immortal Market could barely suffice, but ordinary mountains and villages would not be considered.

Unless he reached a higher cultivation level in the future and could set up formations to gather spiritual energy, allowing him to cultivate anywhere without being restricted by the place of cultivation. This was also one of the reasons why cultivation resources were ranked higher than spiritual land.
