The Romantic Cultivator

Ji Yuan began to say to all the cultivators, "Since I am the faction leader, I expect everyone to listen to my instruction. Only move when I say move."

A cultivator laughed coldly, "Then if you ask us to die then we have to die?"

Many of the cultivators were nodding and agreeing as well. "That's right. Even though he is the leader but what if he asks us to surrender all the profound treasures that we've found to him? That won't do at all."

Ji Yuan: …

"No one is allowed to pick any spirit herbs without my permission or seek any profound treasures without my knowledge." Ji Yuan barked impolitely.

With that he said loudly, "Follow me to cross to the next street."

Many of the cultivators muttered unhappily as they began to follow behind Ji Yuan.

Ling Feiyue whispered to Ji Yuan, "My lord, you're really impolite to these cultivators. Many of them are the young masters and mistresses of their celestial clans. They're not used to taking orders from anyone. If you're not my lord, I won't be taking any orders from you either."

"Same here." Little Princess giggled softly. "But the ugly looks on them after they had heard our lord delights me."

Ji Yuan muttered, "This is for their own good. Whether they want to listen or not, it is up to them. But I don't want them to endanger the rest, especially my party."

Yun Chi who was walking near to Ji Yuan had overheard him

She knew that Ji Yuan was not referring to her as she was not in the party.

But all of a sudden she was unsure suddenly because Ji Yuan had suddenly stolen a glance at her as though he was indicating to her that she was also part of his party.

Ji Yuan grinned when he saw that Yun Chi was taking a glance in his way.

Yun Chi quickly averted her eyes and she was suddenly talking to Xiao Muhan.

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

But all of a sudden many of the cultivators were gasping with great delight when they saw dozens of spirit plants glowing with a soft light on the balcony of a mighty building.

The spirit plants were on the 10th floor and this was actually an easy feat for many of the cultivators since many of them were saint cultivators that can climb almost vertically with their lighting profound art.

The same cultivator that had said to Ji Yuan earlier, then if you ask us to die then we have to die, had immediately flashed forward and he was quickly accompanied by a dozen other cultivators!

It was because these spirit herbs are the Aloe Mystic Herbs, a super rare celestial herb that can be used as reagents for the forging of divine weapons. As the thousands of years go by, the once plentiful Mystic Herbs have become increasing difficult to find and it can only be found in the greatest depth below the desolate mists.

And the price for divine swords are extremely getting more and more exaggerated each year until only the richer celestial clans are able to afford one.

Many of the celestial clans did not have a new divine weapon for generations and it was mostly inherited from their patriarchs.

And most celestial clans will be happy even with a half-step mortal divine weapon.

Looking at the profound animus of these Aloe Mystic Herbs, many of the cultivators know that they were probably thousands of years old and even a heaven-step divine sword may be obtainable as a result.

Therefore more than dozen cultivators began to ignore Ji Yuan as they made a mad rush to climb to the 10th floor.

Ling Feiyue shouted after them, "Did you not hear what Ji Yuan has said to you?!"

But probably because Ling Feiyue's voice has always been very soft and gentle, it was like a whispering wind in their ears.

Although Ling Feiyue's voice was soft to the ears but it was clear and audible because of the depth of her profound strength. But these cultivators had all chosen to ignore her.

Ji Yuan said coolly, "Ignore them and let's go."

And he had walked off in the other direction.

Although many of the cultivators did not rush forward for the Aloe Mystic Herbs that were on top of the buildings but they also did not make any attempt to follow Ji Yuan. It was because they were still struggling with their inner heart demons; they were slightly late in their reactions and may not be able to even pull one stalk of the Aloe Mystic Herbs. At the same time, they were unwilling to leave with Ji Yuan because the Aloe Mystic Herbs were the object of their desire to have.

Many of them were cursing Ji Yuan; even though he looks like a wealthy cultivator but no one will give up an opportunity to obtain an Aloe Mystic Herb that is several thousands of years old. It can be traded for other fabulous treasures and even a divine sword!

There were also many cultivators that were shaking their heads and were secretly praising Ji Yuan for his high state of divinity, able to disdain the desires of the heart and to fully focus on his cultivation. That was why Ji Yuan is a peaked great saint and had so many fabulous profound treasures.

Ji Yuan was actually sighing as he stole another look at the bosoms and butt of Yun Chi; I must have her. In my dictionary, there is no one night stand.

All of a sudden hundreds of sharp tentacles had burst out from the various holes of the building and almost instantly half of the cultivators were wiped out as their fleshes deteriorate with terrifying speed.

The other half of the cultivators all had terrified looks on them and one of the cultivators was even screaming, "Help, help! Please help!"

These cultivators were the stronger ones and their profound auras were able to shield them from the degenerating aura that had suddenly appeared.

However all their attempts to free themselves were in vain as a gigantic black slime like mouth had appeared at the bottom of the building and its jaws were wide-opened to receive any cultivators that would drop into its mouth.

The divine senses of the cultivators were all ringing alarm bells.

8th rank epic monster!

And more than a dozen profound animus of the 8th rank profound desolate monsters could also be sensed by all the cultivators!

Xiao Muhan was startled, "This is…this is…"

A cultivator stammered, "Are we going to help them? The survivors can't last long for sure…"

But Ji Yuan had already walked away with a heavy sigh, "They've all doomed themselves already. Let's go."

A cultivator stepped forward to stop Ji Yuan, "I am an orthodox cultivator. If we don't attempt to help them and just walk away then is there any difference between me and a selfish unorthodox cultivator? At least we should all attack to distract the desolate monsters to give them a fighting chance! You claim to be a Great Hero and yet your actions are deplorable!"

Ji Yuan frowned immediately; it was Yun Chi that had kept calling him Great Hero this and that. He didn't claim to be one…

But because this cultivator had a righteous heart, Ji Yuan replied politely. "What for? So that more of us will get the attention of these desolate monsters and die? Surely you have sensed the profound aura of an 8th rank epic monster, am I right? And I can tell you, it has not even appeared yet. Let them use their Escape Talisman if they are unable to win."

As he had said that, another cultivator up the building had died.

Then he walked away while muttering, "Unless of course they are pigs that are struck between a profound treasure or their lives. If we don't walk away, they will think that we will help them and the faster that they will die."

As he walked past the cultivator with a righteous heart, Ji Yuan hummed softly. "If you really want to help them, you would have already stepped in to help them rather than trying to score points with the other cultivators. So this is the righteous respect that you're trying to obtain? Actions sometimes speak louder than words."

The cultivator with a righteous heart began to smile weakly as he protested weakly, "I am just respecting the leader…"

Only Yun Chi, Xiao Muhan, Little Princess, Ling Feiyue, Shui Xisi, Bai Qianfeng, Yu Jingjing and Feng Minyue had overheard Ji Yuan's last remark to the cultivator with the righteous heart because Ji Yuan was speaking very softly. But it was quite audible in their ears as they were nearest to him.

Sure enough, when Ji Yuan and many of the cultivators had started to move away, the surviving cultivators on top of the buildings had given up hope on a rescue and they quickly used their Escape Talisman.

However one unfortunately cultivator was unable to use his Escape Talisman because he had already finished his.

Before he died, he had deeply regretted not listening to Ji Yuan and had even scolded Ji Yuan, "Then if you ask us to die then we have to die?"

Because at this moment, he had chosen to die himself.

Ji Yuan was cursing these high level cultivators in his heart; did all these high cultivators cultivate in their rich spiritual mountains until they are saints or what. Did they not know that the most rare and ancient the spirit flora is, it is more likely that a powerful high level desolate monster is going to be nearby. Luckily they didn't pluck it or else the harmony profound animus in this area is going to be affected and all the desolate monsters will be coming our way.

That was the reason why Ji Yuan had asked them not to pluck any spirit herb along the way.
