A Cultivation World Where People Devoured People

Then Chen Wang asked another question, "What level of treasure is this Blood Demon Diagram?"

Jing Xin Fairy glanced at him and said in surprise, "You don't even understand this?"

Chen Wang shook his head.

He only knew that above Spirit Artifact were Law Treasure, but he knew nothing else.

Jing Xin Fairy said, "This is a high-grade Law Treasure. To outsiders, it can increase your strength. You can exchange it for a defensive or offensive Law Treasure. Of course, a defensive Law Treasure will be more advantageous for you."

Chen Wang was also somewhat tempted upon hearing this.

Indeed, the Ten Thousand Beasts Compendium did not have a significant effect on him.

If we could exchange it for a Law Treasure, that would be excellent.

Chen Wang looked at Jing Xin Fairy.

"Is the Fairy now only a soul?"

The Jing Xin Fairy nodded slightly.

"You could say that."

Chen Wang asked, "Does it have to be kept warm and nurtured in this jade hairpin indefinitely?"

This is like having an old man from the ring.

However, she was a proud and arrogant woman.

Jing Xin Fairy shook her head. "If I could get out, I wouldn't want to stay in this hairpin. But I can't be away for too long, and the two battles in a row have exhausted a lot of my strength. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to get me some soul-nourishing items."

Chen Wang nodded.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this."

Jing Xin Fairy said, "I can't hold on for much longer. This time I will reluctantly talk to you and pass on a Mnemonic to you. The soul-nourishing item I just told you is not common. If you can find it within a year, awaken me. If not... then forget it."

Chen Wang could sense her helplessness; those medicinal herbs must have been extremely difficult to obtain.

Chen Wang said in a deep voice, "I will definitely do my best."

Immediately, Jing Xin Fairy's figure dissipated and returned to the Jade Hairpin.

Chen Wang looked at the Ten Thousand Beasts Compendium with a thoughtful expression in his eyes, and then put it away.

He sat there for a long time, muttering, "This Cultivation World a den of thieves!"

He gave a wry smile and then fell silent.

Chen Wang didn't get up until Gu Xin Yue came to visit.

He welcomed Gu Xin Yue in.

Gu Xin Yue's eyes sparkled. "Wow, your place is so big!"

She was wearing a veil at the time, presumably to avoid causing any problems with her appearance.

It's not unusual to see cultivators wearing veils and bamboo hats on the road.

As she spoke to Chen Wang, she removed the veil from her face.

Indeed, she has a very striking and beautiful face; her looks are top-notch.

Chen Wang said, "I didn't buy this place; a friend let me stay here temporarily."

Gu Xin Yue asked curiously, "Friend? Is it a man or a woman?"

Chen Wang said irritably, "Aren't you asking a bit too many questions? We're not some kind of Daoist couple."

Gu Xin Yue glared at him, "You're so stingy!"

In her eyes, Chen Wang was a man who valued reality very much.

For some reason, Gu Xin Yue didn't dislike him; on the contrary, she found it easier to deal with him, and thus some of her true nature gradually came to light.

Chen Wang found it rather cute.

It's much better than being rigid and inflexible, or having a fiery temper.

Gu Xin Yue looked around and saw that the house was indeed well-built and had a rich Spiritual Qi.

She stretched and said, "Comparison is the thief of joy. Land prices in the Western Continent are too high. Trying to find a decent house in Wandering Immortal Market is a total rip-off."

Chen Wang nodded.

Gu Xin Yue suddenly asked, "Where do I live?"

The house has many rooms. Chen Wang casually pointed to a few, "These rooms are all empty. It doesn't matter. You can stay in whichever room you want."

Gu Xin Yue bowed to Chen Wang.

"Thank you for taking me in."

Chen Wang waved his hand.

Gu Xin Yue smiled and said, "I'm a pretty good cook. Since you've let me stay, I'll cook tonight. How about we have a few drinks together with some good food and wine?"

Chen Wang asked, "Can you cook?"

Gu Xin Yue nodded.

"Nature."

What she said was extremely ordinary.

However, it should be noted that in the Cultivation World, many cultivators do not know how to cook at all, and spend most of their time cultivating and fighting. On the contrary, Gu Xin Yue is very down-to-earth.

Chen Wang hesitated and said, "I'm a picky eater. If you don't do it well, you shouldn't make it. I'll go buy some."

Gu Xin Yue, who had been smiling gently, suddenly glared at him.

"You're too blunt. If it doesn't taste good, can't you just throw it away?"

Chen Wang thought for a moment and said, "Actually, it's not necessary. You can eat it yourself."

Gu Xin Yue: "..."

That evening, Gu Xin Yue cooked several of her signature dishes, all ordinary home-style dishes, but they required considerable skill and were all delicious.

After taking a few bites of the food, Chen Wang's eyes lit up. "Delicious!"

Gu Xin Yue smiled and said, "How about it? Do I still need to pour it?"

Chen Wang smiled and shook his head.

Gu Xin Yue said, "I can't afford the rent to stay here with you, so how about I become your cook, or rather, your maid to take care of your daily needs?"

Chen Wang thought for a moment, "How should the wages be calculated?"

Gu Xin Yue said, "How about we use it to offset the rent?"

Chen Wang raised his wine glass, and the two drank it down in one gulp.

"Good."

Gu Xin Yue also knew that Chen Wang had taken a liking to her talent for finding medicinal herbs; otherwise, the two would have parted ways long ago.

However, she was deeply grateful to Chen Wang for saving her life, so she was willing to repay Chen Wang if he ever needed her.

With the addition of a woman to the Wandering Immortal Market, Chen Wang felt that the place had become more lively.

Gu Xin Yue always makes sure that three meals a day are prepared properly.

As for taking care of Chen Wang's daily life, that's not necessary for the time being.

Cultivators know the Dust-Cleansing Technique; with a simple Law Technique, the house can be cleaned spotlessly.

If she really wanted to take care of Chen Wang's daily life, warming his bed would probably be the only way.

Chen Wang would sometimes go out for a stroll, wander around those stalls, and brag to the stall owners.

Gu Xin Yue was the same.

However, now that she had listened to Chen Wang's advice, she didn't wear a mask and went out with her pretty face, which attracted a lot of attention.

During this time, I inquired about news on the streets and found that the news of the Five-Colored Immortal Orchid had already reached the ears of the lower-level cultivators in Wandering Immortal Market.

Especially the stall owners, they often go out to buy some junk and pass it off as good quality.

Sometimes they would go into the mountains to dig up some common spirit medicine, package them up, and sell them at a high price.

They are very well-informed about outside news.

"Two Golden Core Stage cultivators fought in the Cold Mountain, and it is said that many people died."

"I've heard about it before. It's a fight between the Dragon Family and the Ma Clan of Wandering Immortal Market. It's really a case of human brains fighting to the point of dog brains. It's said that this Young Master Long Hua has a fiery temper. He got into a conflict with a direct descendant of the Ma Clan and killed him. It's gotten worse and worse since then."

A man next to him chuckled coldly.

The other two glared at him and said, "What are you laughing at?"

The man said, "Your information is not up-to-date. It is the Ma Clan who are suspected of obtaining the Five-Colored Immortal Orchid, which led to a bloody battle with the Dragon Family. That is the cause."

The other two, who had initially looked down on him, suddenly brightened up upon hearing this and pressed, "What? Did the Ma Clan really obtain the Five-Colored Immortal Orchid?"

The man shook his head.

"There are many spirit medicine in the Cold Mountain, which may not be the Five-Colored Immortal Orchid, but the fact that such a great battle could break out suggests that their medicinal properties are very similar."

The two then became very friendly with him.

Seeing this, the man began to talk eloquently, and several cultivators gathered around to listen to his boasting. He enjoyed the attention of the crowd, and Chen Wang also mingled in the crowd.

Some of what these people say is exaggerated, but some of the important things they say are true.

For example, the Ma and Long families fought each other, and the Nine Mysteries Sect encountered a Golden Core stage demon beast, suffering heavy losses and many deaths.

"The Five-Colored Immortal Orchid can increase the chances of successfully forming a pill; this step is almost like divine retribution."

"Those Golden Core Stage Cultivator are no longer needed, but they will eventually grow old. It is crucial to cultivate another Golden Core Stage Cultivator for the Lineage. This involves many aspects and could very well change the landscape."

"Yes, the news has spread, and some forces from several places near Wandering Immortal Market have arrived. It's quite lively in Cold Mountain now."

Chen Wang chimed in from the side, "It's just a medicinal herb, is it really necessary to fight to the death like this?"

"Those who cultivate immortality do so in pursuit of longevity; wouldn't this be putting the cart before the horse?"

But immediately some people mocked his words.

"Brother, you're being too naive. In the Cultivation World, how can you survive without competing? Do you even have a father who's at the Golden Core Stage?"

"Besides, what good would it do if we had it? If we can't achieve the Golden Core, we still can't. This Five-Colored Immortal Orchid can help people achieve the Golden Core; it's a divine object!"

"Forget it, this guy is young and hasn't been through the harsh realities of life yet. Why bother talking to him about this?"

"By the way, have you heard? It seems that the Rare Treasure Pavilion is holding a large auction today, and one of the treasures is called the Ten Thousand Beasts Compendium '."

"What? My God! The Ten Thousand Beasts Compendium? That's the famous Law Treasure of that Ten Thousand Beasts Real Person?"

"Indeed, this is it. It is said that when the Ten Thousand Beasts Real Person cultivated to the Nascent Soul, he was only over five hundred years old. His talent was truly astonishing!"

"The magic Law Treasure made Nascent Soul Realm cultivator famous... Rare Treasure Pavilion True Person lives up to its name; it actually has such a Rare Treasure Pavilion! I'll definitely go and see what the excitement is about."

"You? Come on, buddy, wake up. Should I pee on you to wake you up? The items at this level of auction are of a very high standard. You and I probably can't even afford the tickets."

"Hey, I was having a good time talking, what are you doing? Never mind, let's go home and sleep."

Chen Wang listened for a while.

He wasn't annoyed when others mocked him for not understanding the value of the Five-Colored Immortal Orchid.

The man thought the young man had a good temper, and instead felt that what he had said to him earlier was a bit harsh, so he gave him an apologetic smile.

Chen Wang didn't care at all and listened with great interest.

He was the one who spread the word about the Ten Thousand Beasts Compendium" so that the Rare Treasure Pavilion could auction it off for him.

Rare Treasure Pavilion will charge some fees, but that makes it even more secure.

It's better than selling it directly to the Rare Treasure Pavilion, and the selling price is also higher.

Chen Wang leisurely returned to his residence and began practicing the Dream Entering Technique.

Even the Ten Thousand Beasts Real Person could use the Dream Entering Technique to resist the divine thoughts within the Ten Thousand Beasts Compendium, demonstrating the extraordinary nature of this technique.

Moreover, the cultivation method is very interesting. In the early stages, it mainly relies on sleeping. You must lie down and fall asleep immediately. Some of the training methods are also very unique, such as visualizing in dreams.

Chen Wang has not yet mastered the basics, but he has already sensed the difference in this method, so he is practicing even more diligently.

In addition, he also sent people to spread the word that he wanted to buy up those soul-nourishing medicinal herbs.

However, these medicinal herbs are indeed very precious and rare. They are not available in several places, including the Rare Treasure Pavilion, so we can only release the news first.

As for the Five-Colored Immortal Orchid, it was still lying obediently in Chen Wang's Storage Artifact, and he was not in a hurry to consume it.

This fairy orchid can indeed increase the success rate of pill formation, but Chen Wang still wants to experience the opportunity to form the pill before taking it.

Then we can make a final push, replenish our energy with the medicinal herbs we have, and cross this threshold.

Everything is proceeding smoothly.

In the following days, the news coming from the Cold Mountain became increasingly bloody.

Many people fought bloody battles in the Cold Mountain, fighting tooth and nail in their search for the Five-Colored Immortal Orchid.

In the depths of the Cold Mountain, a middle-aged man with a square face exudes Law Power, surrounded by a flying sword, looking incredibly dashing.

Before him stood a withered old man, sitting cross-legged, with seven small flags fluttering around him.

They were Golden Core Stage Cultivator Golden Core Stage Cultivator from the Dragon Family and the Ma Clan.

The Golden Core Stage Cultivator in the Dragon Family is named Long Qiong. He is a member of a collateral branch of the Dragon Family, but he managed to cultivate to the Golden Core stage with his amazing talent. Now he holds a high position in the Dragon Family.

This time, he came as a protector to safeguard the Dao in Long Hua.

But Long Hua's temper is really... how should I put it? It's hard to judge.

They treat human life like dirt and fail to grasp the situation, needlessly offending a powerful enemy at this critical moment.

Long Hua had been in a bad temper lately, killing one of the direct descendants of the Ma Clan and thus provoking the Ma Clan.

He later asked Long Hua, and it turned out that he had indeed misread it.

The medicinal herb that the Ma Clan members were looking for was not the Five-Colored Immortal Orchid, but something called the Five Elements Grass. It was also quite valuable, but it was not even in the same league as the Five-Colored Immortal Orchid.

This kind of thing could have been resolved simply by talking it out. Both Aristocratic Clan have Golden Core Stage Cultivator here, so things wouldn't have gotten too tense. But Long Hua just had to kill someone.

Later, an elder who came to inquire was also killed by him.

The Ma Clan erupted directly, and the two sides fought several skirmishes in the mountains, resulting in some losses of men and troops.

The Golden Core Stage Cultivator of the Ma Clan was Ma Yuanzhen, the Ma Clan's great-uncle.

He activated the Seven Fiends Life Severing Banner and said coldly, "Long Qiong, our Aristocratic Clan don't need to resort to violence like this, but your son has really gone too far!"

"Hand him over, and this matter will be over!"

Long Qiong felt somewhat helpless, but on the surface she could only defend her own family, and said indifferently, "Impossible, that day was purely a misunderstanding. I can compensate the Ma Clan for some losses, but handing over the person is absolutely impossible!"

The deceased was a direct descendant of the Ma Clan and had a deep relationship with the Ma Clan's great-uncle, which triggered Ma Yuanzhen's murderous intent.

His eyelids twitched, and he shouted, "Do you think my Ma Clan is a destitute bunch who cares about your Dragon Family's compensation!"

He waved his hand, and the Ma Clan cultivators charged out from the mountains and fields.

The Ma Clan is a powerful force in Wandering Immortal Market, making it easy for them to mobilize people.

At this moment, Ma Yuanzhen had Long Qiong entangled, and the Dragon Family cultivators were at a disadvantage.

Long Hua, whose cultivation was considerable, now brandished a golden hammer.

This golden hammer is the size of a human head, incredibly heavy, and always effective at striking people.

Previously, a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator fought him, but was injured after only a few rounds.

Law Treasure Purple Gold Hammer is a powerful magic weapon! It is an offensive magic Law Treasure. The Immortal Slaughtering Bow is quite powerful, but it is still somewhat inferior to the Purple Gold Hammer.

Because the Immortal Slaughtering Bow was sealed, while the Purple Gold Hammer was a true Law Treasure.

When Long Hua is activated, its power is immense.

The woman next to him also protected him closely, shielding him from some sneak attacks.

At this moment, a figure emerged from the mountains and fields, watching the scene of battle from afar.

"A true Law Treasure!"

Chen Wang's eyes lit up.
