Eternal Life: I Can Break Through The Limits Of All Methods

Chapter 18: Encountering a Disciple of the Sect

With a thought, the flying sword on the Rogue Cultivator's body turned into golden particles and dissipated.

Afterwards, he searched the Rogue Cultivator's body and found twelve spiritual stones and twenty taels of gold.

This kid is quite wealthy, carrying so many spiritual stones and gold.

Twenty taels of gold is not a small amount in their lower-level Immortal Cultivation World.

One hundred taels of silver can be exchanged for one tael of gold, and one hundred taels of gold can be exchanged for one spiritual stone.

Everyday necessities such as food and clothing are mostly consumed with gold and silver.

People who can't make it in the Immortal Cultivation World will also exchange their accumulated spiritual stones for gold and silver to return to the mundane world.

After collecting the spiritual stones and gold and silver, he confirmed once again that there were no other unnecessary items, then used the Fire Breathing Art to spew out a flame, turning the body into ashes.

Then he used the Cleaning Technique to blow away the ashes and clean up the various stains and blood on the ground.

This matter must not leave any traces.

Although Ji Rong's nephew is a Rogue Cultivator, if the other party refuses to admit it and shifts the blame, he will be in trouble.

Ji Rong's background in the sect is much stronger than his own. They can turn black into white. He is not naive enough to believe that the sect will uphold justice for him just by telling the truth.

Naturally, he cannot make a fuss about it, and as long as the killing is done cleanly, no one will know.

He looked around again, jumped onto a cliff to observe the surroundings, and made sure that no one had discovered him before leaving with the Xuantie flying sword.

This flying sword is good, but it seems risky to keep it for himself. It's better to sell it in Heavenly Origin City.

He took out the clothes he had changed out of from his bag and wrapped the flying sword in them.

As he walked, he realized that the road ahead seemed to pass through the village he had seen before.

That should be the village where Ji Rong's nephew is located, right?

Hmm, there is also a particularly conspicuous mansion in the village, definitely Ji Rong's father-in-law's house, no doubt about it.

Since that's the case, it's better to take a detour.

On the left side of this mountain road is a cliff several dozen zhang deep, with a turbulent river below.

On the right side is a slope leading up the mountain, seemingly impassable.

However, for him now, there are no dead ends.

He activated the Swallow Flight Technique and jumped directly from the cliff, using the Swallow Step every three zhang of descent to create a platform.

After reaching a deep enough position, he walked in mid-air with the help of the platforms, successfully bypassing the village.

There were no more obstacles on the road ahead, and the path gradually changed from a small dirt road to an official road.

He encountered many pedestrians along the way, including cultivators.

But in the realm of Heavenly Origin City, no one dared to cause trouble. It was safe all the way.

Arriving at the majestic west gate of Heavenly Origin City, he could see three mountains standing in the city, forming a tripod shape.

Magnificent buildings were located on the peaks of the three mountains, with many cultivators and spirit beasts flying back and forth in the air.

It seems that the cultivation families in Heavenly Origin City do not pay much attention to spiritual energy and feng shui, or they have some way to avoid it, as they have built so many buildings.

Walking into the main street inside the city gate, the shops and stalls along the street mostly sold items related to cultivation.

Chu Ming walked to a pawnshop, thinking of selling the flying sword first, as it was causing inconvenience.

After entering, after some bargaining, he sold the low-grade Xuantie flying sword for two hundred spiritual stones.

As he walked out with the bag of spiritual stones, he couldn't help but sigh that earning spiritual stones was really easy, just like picking them up for free.

No wonder so many people choose to be Rogue Cultivators. They can truly become wealthy and change their destiny.

Of course, this is also a profession where one's head is not attached to one's belt, not the right path.

He, who can become wealthy by farming, looks down even more on this kind of livelihood.

Just as he came out of the pawnshop, he saw a group of cultivators wearing white silk robes.

These robes, made of snow silver silk, were exactly what the inner disciples of the Divine Will Sect wore.

A group of six cultivators walked together, with the one in the lead being the stunning female cultivator that Chu Ming had seen before at Golden Scale Lake. She still had the same cold and proud expression on her face.

Chu Ming instinctively lowered his bamboo hat.

As a small figure, he knew that the inner disciples of the sect would probably never give him a second glance.

But cultivators had remarkable memories, especially those of higher cultivation levels.

If they had seen each other in Heavenly Origin City and then met again in the sect, they would definitely remember.

If they were to associate him with something, it would be troublesome.

Fortunately, the attention of the group was completely focused elsewhere, not on him, a small cultivator.

The stunning female cultivator walked straight ahead, while a refined male cultivator with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes walked up to her and walked side by side.

"Sister Haimeng, according to what that person said just now, several families seem to have set their sights on the Dragon's Roar Sword Manual."

"With your spirit stones, I'm afraid you won't be able to win the bid."

"Why don't I lend you the spirit stones I obtained from the sect's procurement this time? If my father blames me, I can just be confined alone."

"As long as I can fulfill Sister's wish, I am willing to go through fire and water."

The stunning female cultivator remained expressionless for a moment before slowly speaking, "Actually, my biggest wish is not to obtain the Dragon's Roar Sword Manual."

The refined male cultivator raised an eyebrow, "Huh? Sister's biggest wish isn't to obtain the Dragon's Roar Sword Manual? Then what is it?"

"Tell me, Junior Brother, I will definitely go through fire and water to fulfill Sister's wish."

"As long as I can see Sister's happy and satisfied smile once, I will have no regrets even if I die."

The stunning female cultivator calmly spoke, "My biggest wish is for you to be confined every day."

The four people behind couldn't help but suppress their laughter.

A beautiful female cultivator said, "For Senior Brother Jiang, this is not a difficult task at all, much simpler than going through fire and water."

The refined male cultivator looked embarrassed and said to the stunning female cultivator, "Uh... Sister, you're still so good at joking."

The group gradually moved away and headed towards the direction of the auction venue.

Chu Ming listened to their conversation and secretly smiled.

He didn't expect this female cultivator to be a master of cold-faced humor, quite contrasting.

But based on their conversation, he could sense that their identities were not simple at all. They were definitely among the core group of direct disciples.

The refined male cultivator's surname was Jiang, the same as the sect leader. He could even casually use the sect's spirit stones for procurement. He should be the sect leader's son or grandson, right?

But he must not let this group of people discover his identity, otherwise, it would be a big trouble.

After the group moved far away, he also headed towards the auction venue.

Soon, he arrived in front of the auction venue. It was a three-story wooden building with a hollow interior in the shape of a Chinese character "回" (hui).

The auction was held in the central hall on the first floor, while the seats for ordinary guests were on the east side of the first floor, and the private rooms on the second and third floors were reserved for various distinguished guests.

Entering the registration office on the south side, he realized that he had to pay a registration fee of at least 100 spirit stones to participate in the auction.

Thinking about it, it made sense. Such a large-scale auction couldn't possibly allow everyone to participate. There naturally had to be a threshold.

Fortunately, he had just sold the flying sword, otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to afford the registration fee.

After paying the money, a young female cultivator led him to an independent private room on the first floor.

As soon as he entered the room, Chu Ming could feel the obstruction of spiritual energy flow. Presumably, there was a formation set up here.

And each customer was led to such a room individually to submit the items they wanted to auction, in order to ensure the maximum privacy of the customers.

Not long after, a middle-aged and thin cultivator walked in.

After exchanging pleasantries, they both took their seats. Chu Ming learned that the cultivator's surname was Zhou and his name was Shun, but he didn't ask for Chu Ming's name.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you want to auction this time?" Zhou Shun asked with a smile, pouring a cup of tea for Chu Ming.

Chu Ming took out a high-yield Spirit Rice seed from his sack and placed it on the table.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, please take a look at whether this Spirit Rice seed can fetch a good price."
