Chapter 115 Demon Clan Territory
Chapter 115 Demon Clan Territory
Gu Yan waited patiently, while the woman in red palace attire glanced at him from time to time. The woman in palace attire was puzzled. She didn't know why, but this Senior Bai was clearly not a handsome man, yet she felt as if she were bewitched, and her gaze couldn't help but keep looking at him.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!" the old man surnamed Lu said apologetically. "The runes on these two spiritual weapons are very unique; it's easy to get mesmerized."
"It's alright, I'm not in a hurry, okay?" Gu Yan put down her teacup.
The old man surnamed Lu chuckled and said, "This sword is made of Ziyang jade mixed with Geng metal. The runes on it are also very ingenious. It's just that it's been around for a while. The blade is a bit kinked, and there's a crack here. It will have to be reforged."
"Although this armor is made from the bones of a dragon and thirteen other rare materials, you can see that it's quite badly damaged."
As they spoke, the old man surnamed Lu showed a troubled expression. He sighed and said to Gu Yan, "How about this, let's call both treasures 80 billion spirit stones together? What do you think, fellow Daoist?"
Gu Yan didn't say anything after hearing this. He rolled up his sleeves and took away the long sword and armor. Then he walked towards the door.
"Wait!" The old man surnamed Lu immediately called out to Gu Yan, but Gu Yan did not turn around.
"Eight hundred and twenty billion."
Gu Yan pretended not to hear.
"Eighty-five billion?"
Gu Yan continued walking.
"Nine hundred billion?"
Gu Yan continued walking.
"One hundred billion spirit stones, that's a loss-making price."
Gu Yan had already walked outside when the old man surnamed Lu chased after her. Gu Yan finally stopped and turned back to look at the old man surnamed Lu.
Thus, the two spiritual weapons Gu Yan brought out from Broken Soul Valley were sold for 100 billion spirit stones. He obtained more than just these two treasures from Broken Soul Valley, but he didn't intend to sell them all. Even if he were to sell them, he wouldn't sell them to just one company.
After the transaction was completed, Gu Yan, holding a cup of tea, asked the old man surnamed Lu, "Fellow Daoist Lu, do you have any Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Tear Bodhi or Soul-Stabilizing Dragon Blood Wood here?"
Upon hearing this, the old man surnamed Lu said, "We don't have the Soul-Stabilizing Dragon Blood Wood. As for this Tearful Bodhi, is it really necessary to wait ten thousand years?"
Gu Yan said, "Yes, it must be ten thousand years."
"No, that's really not the case. Fellow Daoist, both of these items you mentioned are priceless," said the old man surnamed Lu.
[Remember the fastest online novel website: 1 ...
"Then, does Fellow Daoist Lu know where to find these two items?" Gu Yan asked again.
The old man surnamed Lu thought for a moment and said, "I don't know where the Soul-Stabilizing Dragon Blood Wood is, but the Tear Bodhi only exists in Bazhou. Almost all the Tear Bodhi in the Nineteen Continents comes from Bazhou. A ten-thousand-year-old Tear Bodhi can probably only be found by entering the territory of the demon race."
The demon race consists of intelligent beasts, and they occupy two-thirds of the continent. Human spiritual masters, except for top-tier experts, dare not casually step into the demon race's territory.
Gu Yan replied, "Thanks."
After saying that, he stood up and walked outside.
After Gu Yan left, the woman in red palace attire asked the old man surnamed Lu, "Master, who exactly was that Senior Bai just now?"
"I don't know either. His surname is Bai. Bai Juyi? I've never heard of such a Spirit Emperor Realm expert. Perhaps he's some kind of ascetic cultivator. But this person shouldn't be provoked. These two items were probably brought from Broken Soul Valley." The old man surnamed Lu held the purple longsword he had just bought and looked at the armor floating in mid-air.
"Soul-Severing Valley?" The woman in palace attire looked shocked.
Even for a Spirit Emperor Realm expert, going to the Soul-Severing Valley is extremely dangerous. An early-stage Spirit Emperor Realm expert would face a near-certain death. Only late-stage Spirit Emperor Realm experts dare to cautiously enter, but even then, the risk of perishing is not guaranteed. In short, those who dare to go there and emerge unscathed are all ruthless individuals.
The Spirit Emperor Realm is full of ruthless people.
"There's still the aura of Broken Soul Valley on these. Your master has handled so many treasures, I would never be wrong. These two items definitely came from there. This Bai Juyi, we must never provoke him," said the old man surnamed Lu.
"Master, you were just trying to bargain?" the woman in palace attire asked.
The old man surnamed Lu's expression stiffened slightly upon hearing this, then he cleared his throat twice: "Nonsense, I was just doing normal business. Don't you understand what business is?"
No merchant is honest.
He didn't push it to the limit.

Bazhou is the territory of the demon race, where human presence is rare. The demon race consists of intelligent beasts, and whether a beast can develop intelligence has little to do with its strength, but rather with its bloodline and luck. Some demon beasts develop intelligence shortly after birth, while still very weak.
Some monsters, even if they reach level eight, nine, or even ten in strength, may still not have developed intelligence, so they will always be dull-witted monsters.
Among spirit masters, there is a category called beast tamers. Beast tamers can control magical beasts or demonic beasts, and every demon has the talent to be a beast tamer; they don't even need to learn, they are self-taught. Compared to human beast tamers, demons have a unique advantage; they are much more adept at manipulating magical beasts than humans.
Human beast tamers cannot control magical beasts stronger than themselves, but demons can. Demons and humans have always been enemies. Because demons are few in number, they only occupy two of the nineteen continents of the Miro Continent: Bazhou and Ganzhou.
At this moment, Gu Yan is in a primeval forest in Bazhou.
Gu Yan sat atop an enormous tree trunk, a cute Snow Shadow Tiger cub rubbing against him. Gu Yan reached out and stroked the furry head, saying, "We've been here for over a month and still haven't found the Ten-Thousand-Year Tear Bodhi. This thing really is hard to find."
"Demons, demons... if we go any deeper, we might really encounter demons. Speaking of which, you're quite clever, little one. When you gain sentience, you'll become a demon, and then you can transform into human form. Do you want to transform into human form?"
Gu Yan asked about the snow-covered tiger cub.
The adorable cub whimpered a few times.
Baby wants something delicious!
Gu Yan: "..."
This guy is so useless, all he does is eat.
Suddenly, Gu Yan sensed several auras approaching. He immediately put the Snow Shadow Tiger cub into his spirit beast ring, then concealed his aura and his movements.
After a while, three girls appeared here.
One of the three girls was dressed in yellow and had beautiful long brown-red hair. She had fair and delicate features and a beast-like horn on her forehead. The other girl had bright and striking features, wore a moon-white dress, had purple hair and purple eyes, and had purple demonic markings at the corners of her eyes.
The last one had long black hair tied into a long ponytail, and wore a red dress. Her beautiful face and fair neck had light blue scales on them. These scales on her fair skin did not detract from her overall beauty; instead, they made her look even more eerie and wild.
These three girls are clearly not human; they are demons.
