118: Fishing with Shensha Dan, those who are willing to take the bait

“Order: everyone still on the Twenty-Eight Peaks, gather immediately at Yanluo Peak!”

Back in the Yanluo Peak Hall, Han Tiezhu immediately issued the first command for the rectification of the Netherworld Soul Hall, while Qin Feng sat grandly in the main seat, closing his eyes to rest.

At its Peak, the Netherworld Soul Hall had nearly two thousand members. Now, Qin Feng and Han Tiezhu were both curious to see how many people would show up.

The Netherworld Soul Hall had just been established and there were no tasks for them to do. Han Tiezhu's order before leaving was for everyone to stay and wait, so anyone not present now was equivalent to a betrayal…

A moment later.

People gradually began to arrive towards Yanluo Peak.

Most of these people were Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators, but some had no spiritual power fluctuations, instead exuding various strange auras; they were all practitioners of unorthodox paths.

A moment later.

A Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator flew over from a distance, cupped his hands, and reported: “Reporting to Hall Master, Deputy Hall Master, everyone who remained on the Twenty-Eight Peaks has arrived. The rest… might have gone out to handle matters!”

“Handle my ass!”

Han Tiezhu cursed with a sullen face, then turned around and looked at Qin Feng with a dejected expression.

Because only a little over a hundred people had shown up!

Among them, the Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators were pitifully few, with only eight remaining, nearly ninety percent less than during its Peak!

The many Cultivators present looked at Qin Feng and Han Tiezhu at the entrance of Yanluo Hall with numb expressions, their eyes devoid of any emotion.

Those who remained either had nowhere else to go or had offended enemies outside and sought refuge here; they didn't care much about the Sect's development…

“Feng Ge, what do we do now?”

Seeing their numb expressions, Han Tiezhu's face couldn't help but show disappointment. He sighed and said, “If it really doesn't work, let them disband. We brothers can just Cultivate well. I have no confidence in any grand ambitions!”

Qin Feng asked, “Is there anyone in charge of accounts?”

“Currently, the Netherworld Soul Hall hasn't even built a treasury. Everyone manages their own affairs.”

“…”

Qin Feng originally planned to ask what the Netherworld Soul Hall was lacking now; if they needed Spirit Stones, he would provide them, if they needed Cultivation Techniques, he would find a way to get them. But in the current situation, it seemed no one knew what was lacking.

Giving them Spirit Stones directly was also not realistic, as it wasn't conducive to their effort.

After a moment of hesitation, Han Tiezhu whispered, “Feng Ge, why don't you show them a hand, let them witness your strength? That way, they'll be willing to follow us wholeheartedly.”

“I definitely need to show them my strength, but at the same time, I need to let the outside world know that the Netherworld Soul Hall is not a pushover.”

“How about we announce to the public that the Netherworld Soul Hall has refined the Divine Demon Pill?” Han Tiezhu's eyes gleamed with cunning, and he added:

“This Medicinal Pill has a fatal attraction for Core Formation Stage evil Cultivators. Once the news spreads, people will definitely come to cause trouble. At that time, Feng Ge, with your Flying Sword, you can directly cut them down!”

“Let's do that. I'm going to Iron Mountain Market now and will be back within an hour.”

After speaking, Qin Feng's figure flickered, instantly appearing in the Void Realm. He didn't rely on any Magical Artifact for flight, his body transforming into a streak of light and rapidly flying towards Iron Mountain Market.

This was a unique method of Nascent Soul stage cultivators, Light Flight (escape light flight), which was much faster than ordinary flying Magical Artifacts. If he fully unleashed his speed, it could rival an Advanced Profound Rank flying Magical Artifact.

After Qin Feng left, Han Tiezhu also hastily began to spread the news about the Divine Demon Pill.

Speed was of the essence in warfare. To save time, all eight of the Netherworld Soul Hall's remaining Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators were dispatched by Han Tiezhu…

A moment later.

Qin Feng arrived near Iron Mountain Market.

This time, he didn't use the Concealing Heaven Robe, but instead walked openly into the market entrance, without concealing his aura.

The streets were still bustling with people.

Most of these people were at the Qi Refinement Stage Cultivation, at most in the Late Stage Foundation Establishment Stage Realm. When Qin Feng displayed his aura, everyone he passed quickly avoided him, fearing that getting too close would attract the attention of this Core Formation Stage powerhouse.

“Who is this person? He looks unfamiliar.”

“He must be a powerful individual from out of town. The aura he exudes is so overbearing. When he just passed by, I felt like I was suffocating.”

“Speak less. Such a powerful individual is not someone we can afford to provoke!”

Only after Qin Feng had gone far did those Cultivators dare to gather in small groups and whisper.

Qin Feng ignored their discussions and collected the items he needed along the way.

Low Grade fire spirit fruits of various attributes, Talisman brushes, Talisman paper needed for Talisman making…

There was no sign of Purple Linger in the Qi Yuan Pavilion. A maidservant was responsible for receiving Qin Feng. Seeing the extremely strong aura of the red-faced, rough man in front of her, the maidservant cautiously asked, “Senior, what would you like to buy?”

“I want one hundred and twenty-eight identical Yellow Rank Low Grade defensive Magical Artifacts.”

“Thirty-two identical Yellow Rank Low Grade Flying Swords.”

“…”

As Qin Feng spoke, the maidservant took notes on paper. The previous purchases on the street were just a warm-up for Qin Feng. Now, the Qi Yuan Pavilion was where he would officially procure supplies.

Besides the defensive Magical Artifacts and Flying Swords he planned to synthesize, Qin Feng also purchased some individual Magical Artifacts: one High Grade Profound Rank Golden Ray Sword, one High Grade Profound Rank Black Tortoise Shield, one Medium Grade Profound Rank Glazed Umbrella…

Under the invisible pressure of the Nascent Soul stage cultivator, the maidservant directly took the list to the person in charge, who then prepared the goods as quickly as possible. At the same time, she repeatedly calculated the total value of these items.

“Senior, all these items you requested are worth a total of three million eight hundred sixty-three thousand five hundred and twenty Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Our Elder said we'll round it down for you; you only need to pay three million five hundred thousand Spirit Stones.”

The maidservant cautiously reported the bill, afraid of saying something wrong and angering the person in front of her.

Qin Feng didn't speak. He immersed his Divine Sense into his Storage Ring to check his assets.

Besides daily sundries and some Medicinal Herbs, his Storage Ring contained six thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones and over one million six hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones. These were what remained from selling the millennium fire spirit fruit in Tongxian Hall earlier, totaling over seven million six hundred thousand in Low-Grade Spirit Stone equivalent.

Qin Feng took the Storage Pouch handed to him by the other party and put one hundred and fifty Low-Grade Spirit Stones and two thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones into it. (1 Mid-Grade Spirit Stone = 1000 Low Grade)

After paying the Spirit Stones, Qin Feng quickly left Iron Mountain Market with the items he needed, found a less crowded place, and directly used his escape light flight to rush towards the Netherworld Soul Hall…

News spreads extremely fast in the Cultivation World.

The news that someone in the Netherworld Soul Hall had refined the Divine Demon Pill had spread throughout the entire Zhao Country Cultivation World's evil Cultivator circle within an hour.

Righteous Path Cultivators were indifferent to the Divine Demon Pill, only curious as to why the Netherworld Soul Hall hadn't disbanded yet.

But the reaction of the evil Cultivators was different.

Whether they were Foundation Establishment Stage or Nascent Soul stage cultivators, all were now rushing non-stop towards the Netherworld Soul Hall, wanting to seize the Divine Demon Pill.

The Divine Demon Pill was a Human Rank Medicinal Pill, and for evil Cultivators, it was the most top-grade tonic Medicinal Pill!

Anyone who could take one Divine Demon Pill could forcibly raise a Foundation Establishment Stage evil Cultivator by one minor Realm and break through the Cultivation Bottleneck for Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Qin Feng stopped on a mountain Peak not far from the Netherworld Soul Hall, quietly observing the evil Cultivators arriving in succession around him, deeply shocked in his heart.

“I never imagined the Divine Demon Pill would have such a great attraction for evil Cultivators!”

After muttering to himself, Qin Feng took out a stack of Human Rank Medicinal Pill Formulas from his Storage Ring. The first one was precisely the Divine Demon Pill.

Qin Feng had specifically requested this when he bought things at Qi Yuan Pavilion earlier. He originally planned to get some for Han Tiezhu, but since the effect was so good, he would get more. It could also be used as a reward for the Disciples.

Taking advantage of no one noticing him, Qin Feng took out various Talismans and Flying Swords and began to synthesize them.

After all, these people had traveled thousands of miles to offer themselves up, so he also had to do some preparatory work.
