115: A first-grade true elixir, thousands of ghosts will come to court

In the vast space,

Old Demon Bone-Erosion knelt on the ground, his eyes unfocused, white foam spilling from the corners of his mouth.

A twisted expression of pain appeared on his ferocious face.

With a thud, he fell to the ground, lifeless.

The Yuan Ci Avatar withdrew his palm, a hint of understanding appearing in his eyes.

“Indeed… the Suspended Mountain Guest was ambushed… two great Demonic Path Profound Cave Old Monsters, plus the Dragon-Trapping Lock to surround and kill him, I wonder if he can withstand it…”

However, no matter how much the Profound Cave Old Monster fought, it wouldn't affect him.

The Yuan Ci Avatar’s gaze deepened, and he cast various Magic Arts.

Old Demon Bone-Erosion’s body rapidly shrank, and wisps of blood Qi were extracted and poured into the jade bottle in front of him.

“The quality of the vital blood is quite good… I’ll use it to cultivate insect trees when I go back…”

The Yuan Ci Avatar showed a satisfied expression and began to organize his gains.

First was the Rakshasa girl’s pink sleeve band.

Black Qi poured in, and a large pile of items spilled out.

Boxes of rouge and powder, various oddly shaped tools… many Medicinal Pills were also related to Dual Cultivation.

Such as red pills, Meigu Dan… considering the charm techniques the Rakshasa girl used on him, it was not surprising.

“Hmm? Seven Stars Evil… this item was actually obtained by this person…”

A clean white porcelain bottle was opened, and a ray of starlight shot upwards, forming the shape of the Big Dipper.

Good stuff, into the bag.

Most of the other items were not of high value, and even if thrown into the Marketplace, they wouldn't fetch much spirit crystal.

“It seems that this Seven Stars Evil has emptied most of this woman’s family fortune… no wonder there’s no more to squeeze out.

However, a female Cultivator who cultivates the Chanyin method, actually spent over eighty percent of her family fortune to bid for the Seven Stars Evil… there’s something strange here… the Seven Stars Evil is of extremely high quality and can enhance the True Core, but its attributes should not be compatible with this person’s cultivation method.”

While he was wondering, the Yuan Ci Avatar’s gaze was attracted by a pink booklet.

His gaze quickly swept over it, his brows relaxed, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

“Seven Stars Gathering… using the Seven Stars Evil as a material… so it’s a Divine Ability secret technique.

No wonder this woman was willing to spend most of her family fortune to acquire it.”

The booklet recorded that this Divine Ability, once cultivated, could accelerate cultivation speed.

Condensing the Seven Stars could also boost one’s state and strengthen the power of spells.

Accelerating cultivation, even if it’s only a ten percent increase, over several hundred years, it can save decades of cultivation time.

It’s equivalent to consuming a longevity-extending spiritual item.

Adding an extra sliver of hope to step into the Profound Cave Realm.

What’s more, it can also boost combat power.

From the description in the booklet, the increase is not small… “Not bad, if after advancing to the True Core, some Evil Qi can be saved, I can consider condensing this Divine Ability…”

The Yuan Ci Avatar put away the porcelain bottle and turned his gaze to Old Demon Bone-Erosion’s Storage Pouch.

The pouch felt delicate, like the skin of a charming young girl.

Horrifying human faces, contorted in various expressions of fear, anger, or wailing, appeared on its surface.

This item was actually crafted using human faces as Materials.

“The Demonic Path, as expected, employs bizarre methods… I wonder how much this fiend can bring me in terms of gains…”

Black Qi poured in, and a woman’s mouth opened, stretching to her ears, continuously spitting out items.

Soon, piles of blood crystals shone, and a strong bloody smell rushed out.

At the top of the small mountain of blood crystals were seven dark red crystals, the size of a fist and as pure as blood.

Top-grade blood crystals!

Such a treasure is equivalent in value to top-grade insect crystals.

If thrown onto the market, even Peak True Core Cultivators would scramble for it.

Besides that, a bottle of Blood Evil also caught his attention.

Unlike ordinary Blood Evil, this Evil was as deep as the sea, seeming to be condensed from all the filth in the world.

An ordinary person would fall into an environment of mountains of corpses and seas of blood with just one glance.

“Ancient Blood Sea Evil.

Another top-tier Evil Qi.

Very good, with this Evil Qi, after the main body’s True Core improves, there will still be a lot of Seven Stars Evil left, so I can consider that Divine Ability secret technique.”

He collected them one by one, and then, among the pile of Spiritual Artifacts and Magic Treasures, many were refined with Demonic Path secret methods, exuding a strange and eerie aura.

A palm-sized black-awning boat was particularly conspicuous.

The boat was entirely bone-white, crafted from human bones, with countless white skull heads paving its deck.

The pole used to punt the boat was shockingly forged from hundreds of spinal bones.

The shape of this boat made the Yuan Ci Avatar feel somewhat familiar.

“Styx… human bone boat…”

The Yuan Ci Avatar murmured to himself.

The waters of the Styx River are extremely poisonous; if a living person falls in, their consciousness will sink, and they will turn into Ku Gu.

It is only by using a human bone boat to conceal Life Qi and pushing with a white bone pole that one can cross it.

“The spiritual Materials for casting the human bone boat are century-old white bones settled at the bottom of the Styx River… this demon actually has clues to the Styx River…”

Black Qi poured in, and the Yuan Ci Avatar quickly refined the black-awning boat, and a blurry map appeared in his consciousness.

Amidst winding mountains, the Yin Qi was terrifyingly oppressive.

A yellow river, running north to south, surged endlessly.

Countless dead spirits and soul insects circled on both sides.

“It really is the Styx River!”

Surprise appeared in the Yuan Ci Avatar’s eyes.

The Styx River, one of the yellow springs three treasures, had long been on the main body’s list of items to retrieve.

Unfortunately, for so many years, he had no news of it.

Perhaps, this trip, this was the greatest gain.

Having finished inventory, the Yuan Ci Avatar quietly concealed his figure and, several days later, transformed into a flying rainbow returning to his Immortal Cave.

“Very good, no one noticed me after all…”

The Yuan Ci Avatar remained still, silently waiting for the news from the Suspended Mountain Marketplace to ferment.

After more than ten days, the news of the Suspended Mountain Marketplace spread.

The centuries-old foundation of the Suspended Mountain Marketplace was destroyed in a single day.

Causing countless people to sigh with regret.

At the same time, another piece of shocking news spread.

Hegemon-Sword Ling Xiao actually slew Old Demon Yan Gu and snatched the tianyi holy water.

For a time, the Xianyun Sword Sect was unrivaled in its prestige.

“Hegemon-Sword Ling Xiao… truly formidable… the Demon Hunting Society, despite having a numerical advantage, was actually defeated and killed by him.

It’s simply a joke… However, the most crucial thing… the Profound Cave Old Monster, Suspended Mountain Guest… there’s been no news of him…”

The Yuan Ci Avatar secretly speculated, then with a wave of his hand, the bird on his shoulder flew outside.

“Go…”

One day.

Above Yuanlian Island.

The wind and clouds changed, and black Qi gathered into a funnel, continuously merging into the True Core.

Hoo—

The dragon-eye-sized True Core suddenly swelled, inhaling the Ancient Blood Sea Evil and the Seven Stars Evil like an infant breathing.

Its aura visibly strengthened.

Finally, a spiritual light flashed.

The sky returned to calm.

Gu Changsheng’s lips curved slightly as he looked at the three True Cores, as clear as jade, before him.

“Finally… first-grade…”

The black Qi circulated like a river breaking its banks, at least seventy percent thicker than before.

Any casual punch or kick now possessed immense power.

Suddenly, the sky darkened, and a chilling aura abruptly swept over.

Gu Changsheng frowned, looking towards the horizon.

He saw the boundless Yin Qi rolling like a tide, with fierce ghosts, yakshas, and Refined Corpses covering the sky and earth, sweeping in.

Their numbers were probably in the tens of thousands!

A quick glance revealed no fewer than ten True Core ghost Cultivators!

Especially the leading Great Strength Yaksha Ghost, with a green face and fangs, dozens of feet tall, holding a white bone Yin fire fork, its prongs impaling countless wrongfully dead resentful souls.

They were screaming mournfully, their cries converging into a mind-disturbing ghost sound.
