Chapter 15 Bait of the Soul Devouring Sect

"It is indeed the original source produced by the hundred-year Daoist Qinggui. Although it has some defects, this thing can be used to cultivate soul secret techniques and is also a supplementary material for many Law Weapons. It is often in short supply and high demand."

"For this quality of Qing Essence Soul, I can offer 2700 Low Grade Spirit Stones."

After careful consideration, the shopkeeper gave a relatively fair conclusion and, after a moment's thought, quoted a price.

This time, Zheng Yi did not hesitate and agreed directly.

Soon, he purchased a Middle Grade storage bag for two hundred spirit stones.

Zheng Yi scanned the items carefully, checked the quantity, and then collected all the spirit stones directly. Just as he turned to leave, he heard the shopkeeper's voice behind him.

"Fellow Daoist, if you have more of this quality of Qing Essence Soul, our store is willing to increase the purchase price by ten percent."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yi did not respond, but simply turned and walked out, neither confirming nor denying the offer.

Watching Zheng Yi's departing figure, a strange look flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes.

He had a vague feeling that this guest should still have Qing Essence Soul in his possession, but without any evidence, he asked this question.

It seemed that the guest was very cautious and did not respond, leaving the shopkeeper undecided for a moment.

Money moves the heart. If there was a stable way to obtain Qing Essence Soul or Qinggui, he would definitely contact the higher-ups behind him to seize this opportunity and firmly grasp it in his hands.

As he walked out of the gate and distanced himself, Zheng Yi turned into another passage before finally heaving a sigh of relief.

He had personally felt the shopkeeper's gaze focused on him the whole time, which made him dare not show any signs of panic.

Once a flaw was exposed, he feared what might come next.

Fortunately, Zheng Yi had concerns and only brought out one bottle of Qing Essence Soul. If he had brought out two at once, things might have taken a different turn.

If his spirit stones hadn't been running low and he hadn't traded the Qing Essence Soul, he would have been kicked out of the inn very soon.

He still had zombie crystal nuclei on him, but Zheng Yi was definitely not going to sell them.

Because such things were unheard of in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Once leaked, it would definitely bring about big trouble.

For Zheng Yi, Doomsday World was currently the foundation of his Great Dao.

Just like the dragon's reverse scale, anyone who knew about it would die upon touching it.

However, it seemed that Zheng Yi had underestimated the value of Qing Essence Soul.

After calming down, Zheng Yi changed his appearance again and continued to find the next shop.

He traded the third Qing Essence Soul refined from the third Qinggui for 2600 Low Grade Spirit Stones.

So far, he had sold over 5000 Low Grade Spirit Stones from the two bottles of Qing Essence Soul, making his depleted wallet suddenly full.

This successful transaction undoubtedly gave Zheng Yi an idea.

There were countless resentful spirits and fierce ghosts in the Doomsday World, with varying strengths, as well as terrifying numbers of zombies and monsters.

If he could bring these resources from the Doomsday World to sell in the Dayi Immortal Realm, it would definitely be a profitable deal.

Of course, this also required Zheng Yi to become stronger.

If he openly sold more precious cultivation resources than Qing Essence Soul, without enough strength, he would definitely attract attention.

A child holding gold in a bustling market is enough to make him cautious.

Of course, even if he wanted to trade resources, Zheng Yi would never bring living creatures to the Dayi Immortal Realm.

At most, he would bring semi-finished products after refining.

Anything that could potentially expose his secrets absolutely could not be circulated.

This was his own secret.

Without the Doomsday World, Zheng Yi would just be an ordinary cultivator, perhaps struggling to reach the seventh level of Qi Refining for his whole life, let alone thinking about Foundation Building.

Zheng Yi's mind was clear, and he would not trade his future for a small amount of spirit stones.

After completing the transaction, Zheng Yi turned a corner, changed his appearance quickly, and left.

Although Zheng Yi didn't know if changing his appearance could evade pursuit by others, at least it provided some protection and should be somewhat effective.

...

Without further delay, and without returning directly to the inn, Zheng Yi went straight to the Soul Devouring Sect's branch in Bloodmist Abyss City.

He had no choice. The outer disciples of the Soul Devouring Sect could only provide techniques up to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

Just like the Black Fiend Technique he had obtained, all the content stopped abruptly after reaching the fifth level of Qi Refining.

This technique given to outer disciples only had the first five levels, and to obtain the complete follow-up techniques, one had to go to the main sect of the Soul Devouring Sect and formally become an inner disciple.

This was a means for the Soul Devouring Sect to attract talent. After all, for any cultivation sect, whether orthodox or Demon Dao, large or small, the inheritance of techniques was crucial.

Early-stage techniques were not important, so they could be given to nominal outer disciples as bait.

If you want to continue cultivating, come to the main sect, where the complete techniques are available for you to cultivate as long as you come.

It was like putting out bait for fish. Would the fish not take the bait?

Not only techniques, but also the materials and methods for advancing to the Soul Assimilating Banner were all in the main sect.

In other words, unless he wanted to change sects, he had to go to the main sect of the Soul Devouring Sect.

As Zheng Yi understood it, he had successfully broken through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and he could apply for the identity of an inner disciple within the Soul Devouring Sect.

This was because the Soul Devouring Sect in the Demon Realm was only a small sect and not a particularly powerful sect of demonic cultivators, so the disciples it could recruit were of varying quality.

The mid-stage of Qi Refining was enough to qualify as an inner disciple.

For the stronger Great Demon sects, at least the high stage of Qi Refining was required to possibly qualify as an inner disciple.

Entering the branch of the Soul Devouring Sect in Bloodmist Abyss City again, Zheng Yi's main concern was whether he had been too hasty in coming here.

If the elder Gong Sun, whom he had bribed, was still here, would he have noticed anything?

After all, his advancement in cultivation, although still within a reasonable range, had indeed been quite rapid.
