Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 163 - 82: Entering the Demon Country, Monster Snatching
"Our shop has everything you need. Just tell us what you require."
Su Yu was surprised:
"Everything?"
"Everything!"
Su Yu exclaimed in amazement:
"Even Tier Ten Treasures?"
The shopkeeper nodded earnestly:
"As long as you can afford it, yes!"
Su Yu still found it hard to believe but curiously asked:
"If it’s a Tier Ten Treasure, what’s the price?"
The shopkeeper extended one finger:
"One billion gold."
"???"
"Are you joking?"
"Our shop never jokes. As long as you have the money, we can fetch a treasure for you."
... Su Yu carefully observed the shopkeeper, who maintained a meticulous smile, seemingly genuine.
"Could it actually be true?"
"If it is true, the power of this Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion is astonishing."
After a moment of silence, he asked: 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
"What about the Supreme Tier Qi Refining Heart Skill?"
The shopkeeper glanced at him, aware that Su Yu was skeptical but replied with an unchanged expression:
"Ten billion gold."
"Hiss!"
Su Yu took a sharp breath; the price was truly shocking.
However, thinking about the Supreme Dao Skill, the price seemed reasonable.
After all, it’s a Qi Refining Heart Skill that could serve as the cornerstone transmission of an Immortal Sect; it’s no surprise it’s not cheap.
He didn’t ask further; whether true or false, questioning further seemed rude given the shopkeeper’s confidence.
"Do you have the Nine Heavens Capital Seal Soul Suppression Talisman?"
"What’s the price for a Tier Seven fine or rare Flying Sword, and what about a set?"
"Nine Heavens Capital Seal Soul Suppression Talisman is 1500 gold per piece."
"A Tier Seven fine Flying Sword is 5000 gold each, rare is 10000 gold each; a set of fine swords is 15000 gold, and a rare set costs 30000 gold."
Su Yu clicked his tongue, saying:
"You’re much pricier than outside."
The shopkeeper smiled:
"We only offer the finest, with no worries."
"I don’t have that much money now; I’ll come back later."
The shopkeeper, still smiling, said:
"We have fixed branches in major cities like Xuanzhen Immortal City. Other branches wander randomly, and the local branch stays open for only a month. You can come within 11 days if needed."
He didn’t seem forceful, which relieved Su Yu. He nodded with a smile:
"I’ll visit your branch if needed."
Then he turned and left.
Walking out of the alley, Su Yu glanced back at the low-key Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. He now believed in its potential.
This pavilion felt like the mysterious merchants from novels in his previous life, with Chapters worldwide but very low-key, operating in unnoticed corners, catering to so-called destined customers.
If this shop is real, it would be a place to purchase high-level Flying Swords or Magical Treasures.
Although pricier, about double the normal market price, if it truly offers Tier Eight, Nine, or even Ten Treasures, the cost is worthwhile.
After all, Tier Eight or Nine Treasures are scarce, let alone ones that suit oneself.
Getting a top-class Flying Sword Treasure that fits at double the market rate is very worthwhile.
Keeping this in mind, Su Yu resumed wandering the streets.
Half an hour later, a group gathered in the north of the city, and Su Yu took out the Dragon Scale Flying Ship, tossing it into the air. It rapidly expanded into a shining dragon-shaped flying vessel. The group leaped onto it, heading north swiftly.
On the ship, Ding Lingyu addressed the group:
"I just took two tasks at Demon Suppression City, let me share them."
Then, Su Yu received task notifications from Ding Lingyu. After confirming, two tasks appeared on his interface.
The first task: Extermination—Destroy demon clan towns within the Demon Country. Destroying one gives a minimum reward of 100+ gold and 100+ sect contribution, with rewards scaling based on the town’s size.
The second task: Demon Slaying—For each demon of level 100 or above elite template slain, earn 10 taels of gold and 5 sect contribution points.
In addition, several non-specific tasks involve collecting Demon Cores and unique herbs from the Demon Country, all exchangeable for gold when brought back.
Closing the panel, Su Yu adjusted the map’s direction.
The Dragon Scale Flying Ship was exceedingly fast, surpassing other vessels at a speed of five thousand, soon entering the Demon Country.
Below lay dense Wilderness Jungle, with rugged ancient trees towering hundreds of meters high, and beastly roars resonating throughout. Occasionally, creatures battled fiercely, shaking the ancient trees. Over the jungle floated a poisonous mist, like a colored fog hanging over it.
The group didn’t linger, continuing deeper into the Demon Country beyond its borders.
They had gathered information earlier; although demons were ubiquitous, as long as they avoided demon leaders during non-demon tide periods, they’d be fine.
Less than ten minutes after crossing the border, the flying vessel appeared over a demon town.
A town constructed by the demon clan, surrounded by wooden walls, spread over dozens of square kilometers, with rough and large buildings inside. Beast-headed humanoid demons of various races inhabited it, a melting pot of a hundred tribes.
Hovering above, the flying vessel quickly drew the attention of the demons, with a dozen Bird Demons soaring up in their true forms, charging at the vessel.
Su Yu pointed a finger, and the Thunderbolt shot forth, intersecting with a Bird Demon, causing it to fall with a tragic cry.
His dual swords flashed like lightning, sweeping across, causing all dozen or so level sixty to seventy Bird Demons to fall.
"This demon town’s scale is impressive."
