311: Chapter 311 The Terms of the Two Transactions

After all, Gu Changan had not yet shown his true face!

On his end, Old Man Corpse Mountain saw the bounty notice issued by Situ Kong.

He also felt disdain for Gu Changan, as the man had damaged his two Nascent Soul Stage Refined Corpses.

Unable to swallow his anger, he too issued a bounty notice.

Its style and appearance were copied directly from Situ Kong's.

This bounty notice caused a huge stir in the Blood Fiend Alliance's territory.

After all, being bountied by two Nascent Soul Stage powers, and being only a Golden Core Stage Cultivator...

Everyone speculated about Gu Changan's origins.

Had he stolen some great treasure from these two Nascent Soul Stage powers?

Or did this person himself possess a heaven-defying treasure on his person,

which had aroused the greed of the two Nascent Soul Stage powers?

However, only a few Cultivators agreed with the former; most felt it was the latter.

And thus, they automatically joined the pursuit.

Each person held a copy of the bounty notice, clearly printed with Gu Changan's appearance at the time.

Everyone hoped to be that lucky one.

To kill Gu Changan and obtain the treasures on him,

and soar to the heavens from then on!

Gu Changan was unaware that he was now being hunted by two powers!

After emerging from the silver spatial rift, the landscape of the area hadn't changed much.

Various somewhat reddish shrubs and trees.

It seemed he was still within the Blood Slaughter Alliance's territory.

Gu Changan searched for a nearby small town, obtained its name, and began comparing it on his map.

The result, after figuring out exactly where he was?

This teleportation had directly sent him to a location about three thousand li northeast of Blood Refining Valley.

Further east from there lay the direction of the Tianji Pavilion.

Gu Changan had originally come to Blood Refining Valley from the Tianji Pavilion.

But now, things had changed.

Back then, he didn't know if he was at Foundation Establishment or Qi Refining, but now he was at the Golden Core Stage.

In the small town, Gu Changan also detected the presence of Shadow Dust Pavilion's scouts.

He realized his original plan might be ruined.

Controlling someone from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect to steal the soul nurturing wood heart was simply unrealistic.

Moreover, he hadn't even started operations on the Corpse Refining Sect side yet!

And he had already alarmed them.

Since they had an Old Ancestor at the Nascent Soul Stage guarding them,

how did the Treasure Pavilion obtain the Spirit Medicine?

Wouldn't it be better to just rob the Treasure Pavilion directly?

Rob them right after their transaction is completed!

Gu Changan didn't believe the Treasure Pavilion would send a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator for the trade.

Once he figured this out, his train of thought suddenly became much clearer.

He couldn't return to Blood Refining Valley now.

These matters would have to be left to the Shadow Dust Pavilion to handle.

Gu Changan's voice directly sounded in the mind of the Shadow Dust Pavilion scout in the small town.

"Pass a message to the Master Strategist!"

"Say it's my order!"

"He'll know who I am!"

The Shadow Dust Pavilion scout instantly looked around in panic, but found no one.

He could only hurriedly lower his head, pretending nothing had happened.

Yet he replied in his mind: "Yes, Senior!"

"Please speak, Senior!"

Gu Changan thought for a moment: "Have him investigate for me how the transaction between the Treasure Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect was arranged?"

"The Treasure Pavilion needs to refine a nascent soul forming pill and requires the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect's soul nurturing wood heart!"

"Find out the specific transaction time and the transaction conditions!"

"Also, the transaction between the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect and the Corpse Refining Sect, do the same!"

"See what the Corpse Refining Sect's transaction conditions are."

"Second order: have him help me gain control over a descendant of Old Man Corpse Mountain from the Corpse Refining Sect."

"Let him figure out a way to accomplish it himself; he can mobilize people from the War Hall!"

The Shadow Dust Pavilion scout replied earnestly: "Understood, Senior!"

"Once there's news, how should I contact you?"

Gu Changan left a message: "I will find you when the time comes!"

Then he directly vanished!

The Shadow Dust Pavilion scout couldn't see any trace of anyone. He could only take out his own identity token

and began relaying the message level by level upwards.

Finally, this message reached the ears of the Master Strategist in Blood Refining Valley.

The Master Strategist immediately responded, but Gu Changan was no longer in the small town.

Although this city was small, it still had a certain flow of people.

There was always some risk of encountering an Old Ancestor at the Nascent Soul Stage arriving in person.

Gu Changan once again found a secluded valley.

He skillfully constructed a three-room, one-hall dwelling.

Gu Changan pondered the entire process of this operation.

Considering he had obtained a Nascent Soul Stage-level treasure, the outcome was acceptable!

At least he had escaped with his life.

As for the three Cultivators in the spirit beast pouch, he didn't need to worry about them for the time being.

He hadn't taken their Storage Pouches.

So, they wouldn't come to harm in the short term.

However, Gu Changan focused his attention on himself.

After this series of events, he felt his Foundation had also solidified.

It was time to improve his strength!

First, he consumed a soul-locking heart fruit to enhance his Divine Soul.

After absorption, his Divine Soul reached six times that of a normal Golden Core Stage Cultivator.

During this period, he also consumed a supreme grade spirit nurturing pill.

A month passed, and Gu Changan unknowingly reached the sixth layer of the Golden Core Stage.

The improvement was somewhat fast!

Thinking about it, the Shadow Dust Pavilion should have news for him by now.

He returned to the small town's Shadow Dust Pavilion scout outpost.

Finding the scout from last time, his voice again sounded in the man's mind.

"How are the matters I entrusted you with last time progressing?"

The Shadow Dust Pavilion scout replied with pleasant surprise: "Senior, I've been waiting for you for a long time!~"

"After relaying the message last time, there was a reply within a few hours."

"But Senior only came now, a month later!"

"The Hall Master has been summarizing the latest messages and sending them over each time."

"What I received today is the most recent news!"

"First, Senior, you should be jointly wanted by the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect and the Corpse Refining Sect!"

"The bounty is said to be substantial!"

"According to Shadow Dust Pavilion intelligence, most Cultivators believe Senior is wanted because you possess a great treasure."

"Being targeted by both the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect and the Corpse Refining Sect at the same time!"

"Most Cultivators in the market are searching for Senior's traces!"

"Hoping to get a share of the spoils!"

Gu Changan frowned slightly. He had thought the uproar from the last incident had already died down.

He hadn't expected this situation to occur?

Fortunately, he was only in disguise.

Subsequently, Gu Changan noticed the bounty notice for himself in the Shadow Dust Pavilion scout's hand.

Seeing the face on it, he smiled wryly.

At most, he just wouldn't use this face anymore in the future.

They'd be seeing ghosts if they could catch him!

"No need to worry!"

"What else?"

The Shadow Dust Pavilion scout continued replying in his mind: "The transaction conditions between the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, the Corpse Refining Sect, and the Treasure Pavilion have been clarified."

"The Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect provides the soul nurturing wood heart for refining the nascent soul forming pill."

"But the transaction condition is that they need a nascent soul forming pill in exchange!"

"It's the same for the Corpse Refining Sect's Undying Connected Heart."

Gu Changan said urgently: "Is that true?"

The Shadow Dust Pavilion scout: "This is the result the Hall Master obtained after a month of verification from multiple sources!"

"This is the final conclusion!"

Hearing this, Gu Changan was inwardly shocked. Could this mean...

That the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect and the Corpse Refining Sect could obtain a nascent soul forming pill every time Alchemy was performed?
