389: Chapter 389 The Deal

The people of these tribes truly did not believe Li Daoxuan's words, because Li Daoxuan possessed a surname; only experts from powerful cities possessed surnames.

Even though Li Daoxuan's cultivation appeared to be only at the Rank 4 True Martial Realm, they could sense that the Qi within his body was constantly increasing.

No one knew that a massive spirit mushroom was being continuously refined within Li Daoxuan's body, slowly enhancing his strength.

After greeting these few people, Li Daoxuan did not hesitate to walk over to the Mammoth, quickly extracting the crystal from its body and then leaning over to drink its fresh blood.

A look of envy appeared in the eyes of the eight tribesmen; this was a Mammoth, after all, and the energy within its body was exceptionally vast.

If they could drink Mammoth blood, their cultivation would increase significantly, and it would also slightly improve their talent.

The Rank 4 True Martial expert leading them said, "Brother, could you sell us some Mammoth blood?"

Li Daoxuan couldn't help but stop, turning his gaze toward them.

Having been in this world for so long, he still didn't know the trading methods here, nor had he ever seen the local currency.

"Sure, pay what you think is fair. As for how much blood you drink, use your own discretion."

Delighted smiles appeared on the faces of the eight True Martial experts as they quickly pulled out over a hundred crystal-clear coins from their persons.

"Brother, these are Northgate Coins. They are the unique currency of Beimen City, containing Heaven and Earth Yuan Power. They can be used to improve cultivation or trade for resources."

"We only have a hundred and twenty coins on us and would like to exchange them with you for some beast blood. What do you think?"

By the end, they even used honorifics, showing just how much the Mammoth blood tempted them.

Li Daoxuan looked at the pouches at their waists and couldn't help but ask with a smile, "I lost my spatial bag during my battle with the constellations. If you can trade me a spatial bag, I'll give you four Mammoth legs. How about it?"

A look of pleasant surprise appeared in the eyes of the eight True Martial experts. A spatial bag was indeed important to others, but it was nothing to their tribe.

This was because the priest in their tribe produced these things; they could have as many as they wanted, and they were very cheap.

The eight of them did not hesitate to pull off their spatial bags and hand them over to Li Daoxuan.

"Brother, the volume inside these spatial bags isn't large, so I'll give you all eight. Do you think you could give us a bit more Mammoth meat in exchange?"

Li Daoxuan nodded and said, "Fine."

Wasn't this perfect for him? Taking this opportunity to collect more spatial bags would surely be useful later.

He had often been troubled by the lack of such items recently; now that someone had delivered them to his door, it would be wrong not to take them all.

"How about this: can you tell me where there are tribal ruins? Or city ruins? If you do, I can give you this entire Mammoth."

The eight people raised their heads, looking at Li Daoxuan in shock.

If the eight of them used this Mammoth for cultivation, they could definitely raise their cultivation to the Rank 4 Peak. Their status in the tribe would increase significantly by then.

As for tribal or city ruins, those things were nothing to them because such things were everywhere in this Endless Ice Field.

The leading True Martial expert quickly asked, "Brother, is what you said true?"

Li Daoxuan nodded and said, "I'm not joking with you. I came here specifically to find city ruins or tribal ruins."

Hearing Li Daoxuan's words, the eight of them suddenly understood.

This guy really was from a big city, coming here specifically to explore ruins and see if he could find anything useful.

Although these city ruins had been searched many times, no one knew if there were still good things left inside.

If one found something good inside, they would make a fortune.

"Brother, this is an Ice Field Map I drew. It's not anything fancy, but it marks four city ruins and over a dozen tribal sites. If you want it, I'll give it to you."

A look of joy appeared on Li Daoxuan's face. As expected, as long as one had enough strength and resources, they could definitely get what they wanted.

He even felt that if he took the Mammoth to Beimen City, he could exchange it for the cultivation methods of Rank 5 or 6 True Martial Realms.

A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Li Daoxuan's face, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Alright, give me the map. This Mammoth belongs to you now. Also, forget about meeting me; do not speak of it to anyone."

"I trust you know what to do. If too many people know about this, it won't benefit your tribe either."

Hearing this, the eight people's expressions turned solemn. It seemed the person before them was definitely a big figure from some power, likely a Young Lord or something similar.

The reason he was alone this time was to hide his movements, and there were likely some old fellows protecting him from the shadows.

Thinking this, the eight of them quickly nodded, their eyes filled with solemnity.

"Rest assured, we will definitely not release any news about you. In fact, we haven't even seen you today."

Seeing how sensible the eight of them were, Li Daoxuan couldn't help but laugh.

This was exactly the effect he wanted. Although his movements weren't exactly a secret, if he let them imagine things for themselves, the experts of their tribe might constantly seek him out to build a relationship.

Li Daoxuan realized these people took him for the Young Lord of some great power. Since he was going to be active in this area, he would inevitably have to deal with them.

But similarly, Li Daoxuan felt he just needed to scavenge the ruins and didn't need to care about them.

To prevent them from disturbing him, it was better to give them a warning.

Sure enough, Li Daoxuan had indeed intimidated them, allowing him to search for Cultivation Techniques in several ruins in peace.

What Li Daoxuan lacked most now was a Cultivation Technique, not cultivation resources. The spirit mushroom in his body was enough for him to Cultivate to the Rank 6 True Martial Realm.

If he didn't have a Cultivation Technique to refine the spirit mushroom, its medicinal power would quickly dissipate.

While his cultivation hadn't yet reached the Rank 4 Peak, he still had time to find a Cultivation Technique.

Having obtained what he wanted, Li Daoxuan quickly bid them farewell. Since his cultivation was constantly growing every moment, he had to hurry and find a technique.

At the same time, eight bags were added to his waist. He wasn't an eight-pouch Elder of the Beggar Sect, but rather had eight spatial bags, each with a volume of a hundred cubic meters, which wasn't actually that large.

For a massive Vicious Beast like a Mammoth, a single spatial bag probably couldn't hold it unless it was dismembered.

A smile appeared on Li Daoxuan's face as he sped up, wanting to leave this place as soon as possible and head for the city ruins.

Since there were city ruins, he had to scavenge them first. As for those tribal sites, he would check them out after he finished searching the city ruins.

Relatively speaking, there were more good things in cities, and the chance of finding a Cultivation Technique was higher.

Soon, he arrived at the first city ruin. Because this was an ice field with few Vicious Beasts, Li Daoxuan encountered no obstacles and headed straight for the city ruins.

When he saw the city ruins, a bitter smile appeared on his face because the entire city was frozen under hundreds of meters of ice.

Without enough strength, one probably couldn't even break through this ice layer, let alone find the resources they needed inside.

However, this was nothing to Li Daoxuan. His cultivation was constantly growing, and he also possessed the Sword.

With the strength of both combined, dealing with a hundred meters of ice was still possible.

Li Daoxuan walked toward the city ruins step by step, and with a heavy stomp, several cracks opened in the ice layer above the city.

But that was all. After all, his cultivation was only at the Rank 4 True Martial Realm; being able to achieve this much was already quite remarkable.

Li Daoxuan couldn't help but curl his lip. It seemed his cultivation was still too weak; otherwise, shattering the city's ice layer would definitely not be a problem.
