Chapter 52: Meeting the Demoness Again
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
It was still early, so Cheng Xu was not in a hurry to leave Floating Immortal City.
...He was prepared to walk around the various shops in Floating Immortal City and read all kinds of ancient books to gain knowledge.
This time, he had earned more than 500,000 yuan in one go, which was really beyond his expectations.
A set of Array Disks that cost less than 1,000 spirit stones could actually be sold for a terrifying price of 50,000 spirit stones. It was truly ridiculous.
Perhaps this was the charm of monopoly and cutting-edge technology?
Cheng Xu, who had a huge sum of money in his hands, was full of confidence. He began to wander around the major shops in Floating Immortal City, looking for the Green Sea Conch and Thunder Bamboo needed to upgrade the sound card and network card. He also secretly read the various high-end books in the shops.
After a while, he didn’t find the Glue Sea Conch and Thunder Bamboo, but he managed to read quite a bit of data.
In particular, the data on Arrays, talismans, and miscellaneous studies had unknowingly exceeded the 200MB mark.
Needless to say, the improvement of his Array formation and talisman abilities, the key was the increase in his miscellaneous knowledge data, which allowed him to have a deeper and more detailed understanding of all aspects of the cultivation world.
For example, the Great Southern Wilderness mentioned by the Grand Cloud Master.
According to one of the miscellaneous books, the Great Southern Wilderness was the real ancient cultivation land. The current Mini Southern Heaven was only developed later.
Of course, this information had nothing to do with Cheng Xu.
He strolled into another shop, and his gaze was instantly attracted by a dark purple bamboo on the shelf. That’s right, it was the Thunder Bamboo needed to upgrade the network card.
This shop was very big, and there were many guests.
“Shopkeeper, how much is that Thunder Bamboo?” Cheng Xu suppressed his excitement and went forward to ask for the price.
The shopkeeper turned his head to look at Cheng Xu and chuckled. “Isn’t this a coincidence? Another customer wants this Thunder Bamboo.”
Cheng Xu was startled. Only then did he realize that the Foundation Establishment Cultivators beside him were also asking about the price of the Thunder Bamboo.
“We came first, right?” One of the men looked coldly at Cheng Xu. He was in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and his entire body was filled with hostility. It was obvious that he was not someone to be trifled with.
Unfortunately, Cheng Xu did not panic at all.
“You must be joking, Fellow Daoist. When we do business, we naturally sell to whoever offers the highest price.” The shopkeeper smiled.
The man’s face stiffened, as if he wanted to make a move.
Fortunately, a female cultivator at the side stopped him in time.
The man finally calmed down.
“Little brother is so handsome. I wonder if you can give this piece of Thunder Bamboo to little sister?” The female cultivator looked at Cheng Xu with seductive eyes. Although she didn’t look familiar, it gave Cheng Xu a feeling of deja vu.
He immediately began to read the data of this woman, and the results shocked him.
“No way, can it be such a coincidence?”
Cheng Xu looked at the female cultivator’s data and cursed in his heart.
According to the female cultivator’s familiar information, the female cultivator in front of him was the Saintess of the Blood Demon Church, Xu Lu. However, her cultivation had advanced to the middle stage of the Foundation Building Realm, and she had used a special method to change her appearance and aura.
“I’m sorry, fairy. This Thunder Bamboo is very important to me.” Cheng Xu said calmly.
Seeing that Cheng Xu was not affected by her seduction technique, a trace of surprise flashed in Xu Lu’s eyes. “In that case, we can only bid.”
Cheng Xu smiled and made an inviting gesture.
“Fifty thousand spirit stones.” Xu Lu bid to the shopkeeper.
“60,000.” Cheng Xu followed up with a bid.
“Seventy thousand.”
“Eighty thousand.” Cheng Xu continued to press forward.
100,000!” Xu Lu was a little angry, and the male practitioner beside her was even angrier.
Cheng Xu hesitated for a while before bidding, “100,000 and a high-grade True
Yuan Pill.”
The moment this price was announced, Xu Lu’s face turned ashen and they didn’t continue to follow.
On the other hand, the shopkeeper was grinning from ear to ear as he immediately handed over the Thunder Bamboo with both hands.
“Thank you!”
Cheng Xu smiled smugly and strode away.
Although he spent a lot of money, Cheng Xu didn’t feel any heartache.
Because in his opinion, after he left later, these two people would definitely secretly follow him and kill him.
At that time, not only would he not lose out, but he would even earn a profit.
Most importantly, he could also take credit for slaying a wave of demons. Just thinking about it made him a little excited!
Xu Lu and the man came out of the shop. Looking at Cheng Xu’s back, the man sneered and wanted to follow him, but Xu Lu raised her hand and stopped him.
“We have important matters to attend to. It’s better not to cause any unnecessary trouble.” Xu Lu shook her head.
“A mere early Foundation Establishment rogue Cultivator.”
The man obviously didn’t take Cheng Xu seriously and followed him doubtfully.
Although Xu Lu was a little helpless, she did not stop him.
Cheng Xu continued to look around the rest of the shops, but he still couldn’t find the Green Sea Conch.
It was already sunset.
Cheng Xu used his divine sense to secretly glance at the Demonic Cultivator behind him and sneered in his heart.
After leaving the Floating Immortal City, he rode on his sword at a leisurely pace and waited quietly for night to fall.
After flying to an uninhabited mountain, Cheng Xu slowly landed and looked back at the deep night sky. “How is it, Fellow Daoist? This cemetery I chose is not bad, right?”
“Interesting…” The man appeared in surprise. “You can actually sense that I’m following you.”
“Demon?!” Cheng Xu pretended to panic. “You’re a Fiendish Cultivator?”
The man looked up at the sky and laughed. “So what? Are you going to leave here alive today?”
Cheng Xu looked flustered on the surface, but he was secretly calm.
Speaking of which, he had killed two Demon Disciples. How many Demon Disciples did the Blood Demon Church have? Were they so worthless?
At this moment, Cheng Xu had already successfully read the other party’s data. He pretended to be nervous and looked around. “So, the fairy maiden with you is also a Demonic Cultivator?”
“Stop looking. There’s no need for the Holy Maiden to deal with you!” The man sneered.
Cheng Xu could not help but feel a little disappointed when he learned that Xu Lu did not come.
“Strange, why did you Demons come to Floating Immortal City?” Cheng Xu took the opportunity to inquire.
“A dead man asking so many questions? Is it useful?”
The man grunted and laughed as he turned into a bloody light and attacked Cheng Xu.
Cheng Xu, who was still panicking a moment ago, suddenly smiled evilly. He opened his Ten Thousand Laws Evil Eye and instantly froze the man in midair.
Then, he controlled the +5 flying sword and attacked the man’s face.
Boom!
It was the familiar Bloody Soul Bell that helped the man block the flying sword’s attack.
However, under the impact of the +5 flying sword, the Blood Soul Bell was clearly struggling to resist, and it let out an ear-piercing buzz.
“Damn it, it’s this stupid bell again?”
Cheng Xu cursed in his heart. The other two flying swords flew over with the Cloud Sword Technique.
Boom! Boom!
The Blood Soul Bell began to tremble violently, but the man had already woken up. His expression was uncertain. Only then did he realize that he had encountered a tough opponent. He hurriedly exploded a cloud of blood mist and retreated.
However, just as he was about to use his Escape Technique and Movement Technique to escape, he was stunned on the spot. “What’s going on?!”
“Why are you running? Weren’t you very arrogant just now?”
Cheng Xu used the Flowing Cloud Steps and easily chased after him. He raised his hand and used the Cloud Sword Technique.
The man was already panicking. He hurriedly slapped out a huge blood-red palm print to block it and quickly stepped on his flying sword to escape.
Suddenly, a dark golden ancient seal character “Qi” rose in the night sky.
The man who was flying on the sword felt his sea of vital energy churn, and his magic power was agitated. The evil spirit hidden in his body rushed out, and all the meridians in his body were broken inch by inch in an instant. He was unable to control the flying sword anymore, and he fell into the forest with a miserable cry.
“D*mn, so fierce?”
Cheng Xu was also shocked by the power of the Qi Word Mantra.
It seemed that the effect of studying Qi type medicine was quite remarkable. In addition, the Qi word mantra could trigger the evil Qi in the bodies of the Blood Demon Church Cultivators, which was why it could produce such shocking power.
Whoosh!
Cheng Xu rushed to the man’s landing point at once, but he saw three scarlet blood needles suddenly coming at him.
The optimized Protective Dipper Energy was activated.
The three blood needles were successfully blocked by the Protective Upstanding Qi and scattered under his feet.
Looking at the Demon Cultivator in front of him, he looked like he was struggling at death’s door. He hurriedly spat out a mouthful of blood on the Blood Soul Bell.
Die!
The man roared madly. The Blood Soul Bell in front of him shone with a bloody light and shattered into countless blood-colored fragments, pouring down on Cheng Xu like a storm of pear blossoms.
Shocked, Cheng Xu hurriedly used Cloud Steps to dodge.
Although the Flowing Cloud Steps was much more agile than before, it could not withstand such a dense attack.
Bang!
The Protective Upstanding Qi on his body was quickly shattered by the blood-colored shards.
At the critical moment, Cheng Xu hurriedly used the Cloud Sword Technique to parry.
Needless to say, the Cloud Sky Sword Technique was quite useful for parrying. The sword moves flowed like water, and he barely blocked the follow-up attacks of the blood-colored fragments. However, his body was still scratched by the scattered blood-colored fragments.
Seeing that the man had escaped from the forest behind him, Cheng Xu immediately used his Poison Word of Truth to suppress him.
The man who had just escaped a short distance away instantly turned pale and his movements gradually slowed down. Then, the force of the Scorching Sun Finger pierced through his chest and he completely lost his breath.
“Damn it, it seems to be much stronger than the previous two Demon heirs.”
Cheng Xu walked forward while cursing and casually ate a few healing pills.
“It seems that there is a huge gap between the Demon Disciples of the Blood Demon Church.”
He skillfully plundered the man’s storage bag. Needless to say, this brother was quite wealthy, much richer than the two Demon heirs from before.
“Speaking of which, the Blood Demon Church suddenly appeared in Floating Immortal City. Could it be that they want to attack Floating Immortal City?”
The more Cheng Xu thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly used the Crimson Brilliant Mystic Scripture to summon flames and burn the man’s body into ashes.
Then, he stepped on his sword and rushed back to the Medicine Immortal Valley.
In the Sect Master’s cave, Immortal Danyang and Tang Xuan were still studying the mantra of the medicinal method. When they saw Cheng Xu suddenly barge in with injuries, they could not help but turn pale with fright.
“Martial Nephew (Junior Martial Brother), what’s wrong? What happened?”
