Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 587 - 301, Mirror Transformation Technique, Nine Kingdoms Exchange Meeting

"However... Variant Demonic Beasts with ancient bloodlines have always been rare, so it won't be easy to find one in a short amount of time..."

"I'll need at least 100 years," Elder Jiu Ling added.

"One hundred years..." Xu Xing contemplated for a moment. He waved his sleeve robe, and the giant azure-green sword hovering before him suddenly hummed, its tip pointing directly at Elder Jiu Ling, as if ready to fight at any moment.

After entering the Nascent Soul Stage, his Cultivation speed had slowed down significantly. It was estimated that it would take at least several hundred more years to reach the Primordial Spirit Realm.

One hundred years was a period he could afford to wait.

However, he didn't need to think hard to know that for Elder Jiu Ling, this 100-year timeframe likely included a considerable buffer.

"Seventy years!"

"I can't make it any shorter than that!" Elder Jiu Ling quickly amended.

"It's not impossible to agree to Fellow Daoist Jiu Ling's terms."

"But I, Chang Mou, am curious why Fellow Daoist Jiu Ling requires 70 years..." Deciding to quit while he was ahead, Xu Xing withdrew the Golden Crow Avatar and the Dessication Twin Swords. He folded his sleeve robe, looked at Elder Jiu Ling, and asked with curiosity.

There were quite a few demonic beasts on Nanyan Continent with bloodlines comparable to the Nine-Headed Lion Bloodline, and their numbers were not insignificant.

However, without exception, all these demonic beasts were Nascent Soul Demon Kings, renowned throughout the Cultivation World.

On Nanyan Continent, besides Human Clan forces, there were also Demonic Race forces. The two sides generally kept to their respective territories, coexisting without conflict. The Demonic Race alone boasted three renowned Nascent Soul Saint Monarchs. Although these Demonic Race forces could not compare to the Human Clan forces, they were sufficient to protect the interests of the Demonic Race. The Human Clan itself was not monolithic.

Once Cultivators reached the Dao Pill and Nascent Soul Realms, the distinctions between races became less significant. It was no longer like the constant strife among bottom-level Cultivators. In fact, quite a few Nascent Soul Demon Kings were honored guests of various major Human Clan forces.

Since they were guests of these Human Clan forces... enslaving these Nascent Soul Demon Kings would not be so simple. Directly capturing a Demon King was not only difficult, but if discovered by Demonic Race forces, it could also bring disaster upon one's own faction.

Therefore, to acquire a Nascent Soul Realm Spirit Beast, one had to start nurturing it from below the Dao Pill Realm. Cultivators who violated this unwritten rule risked being hunted down by the Demonic Race.

That was a risk Xu Xing had no intention of taking!

Elder Jiu Ling understood the implication in Xu Xing's words. He gave a wry smile, shook his head, and said, "Fellow Daoist Chang, please rest assured. Since I, your humble Daoist, fear you, I would not dare to act recklessly and provoke the Demonic Race."

"In 70 years, the Nine Kingdoms Exchange Meeting will be held. It's an Auction that only Nascent Soul Cultivators can attend."

"At that time, many powerful Nascent Soul demonic beasts will auction their Pure-blood Descendants in exchange for Resources."

"My Nine-Headed Lion was acquired from there," he transmitted this secret via voice.

"Auctioning their own Pure-blood Descendants?" Xu Xing was slightly surprised. "For Cultivators at our realm, siring Pure-blood Descendants is no simple matter."

It was often difficult for High-level Cultivators to have offspring. Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Mortals might still be able to produce children. But at higher stages, High-level Cultivators, Mortals, and low-level cultivators were practically different species. Engaging in Dual cultivation under these circumstances... The Yang essence leaked by a high-level male cultivator could directly kill a low-level cultivator, causing them to self-detonate. The same applied to demonic beasts as it did to Human Cultivators. Pure-blood Descendants were hard to come by!

"Hmm..."

"It seems Fellow Daoist Chang is still relatively young in his Cultivation. Understandably so, as Fellow Daoist Chang reached the Nascent Soul Realm within 500 years. The Nine Kingdoms Exchange Meeting, however, is held only once every thousand years..." Elder Jiu Ling initially showed surprise, but upon seeing Xu Xing's youthful appearance, he seemed to understand.

"For demonic beasts, Cultivating Pure-blood Descendants is no easy feat."

"The Resources consumed run into the hundreds of millions!"

"Conversely, if sent to Human Clan forces, Pure-blood Descendants with strong bloodlines become stable combat assets for a Sect, which will spare no expense in cultivating them."

"Moreover, Pure-blood Descendants are different from ordinary demonic beasts; they possess a noble status. The Sects that purchase them will not easily enslave them," he elaborated.

Hearing this, Xu Xing roughly understood why Nascent Soul demonic beasts would auction their own Pure-blood Descendants at the Nine Kingdoms Exchange Meeting.

Firstly, they could obtain a substantial amount of Resources in return.

Secondly, compared to being raised within the Demonic Race, Pure-blood Descendants nurtured in Human Clan Sects would have a better environment for growth.

Thirdly, this could be seen as an alternative form of compromise and alliance between the Demonic Race and Human Clan forces. It was a kind of official sale sanctioned by the Demonic Race. If they didn't provide this channel to the Human Clan, the Demonic Race's losses would be even greater.

"Pure-blood Descendants obtained this way bear no grudge against the buyer for the death of their parents, making them more loyal when cultivated..." Elder Jiu Ling added.

"Excellent!" After listening, Xu Xing performed a respectful bow, signifying his agreement to the deal with Elder Jiu Ling.

"However, the assets of the Extreme Heart Sect are unnecessary."

"As long as Fellow Daoist Jiu Ling does not harbor resentment towards me, Chang Mou, or seek revenge, we can still be friends..." Xu Xing said after a moment's thought.

Pure-blood Descendants were incredibly valuable. Purchasing one would surely drain most of Elder Jiu Ling's and the Extreme Heart Sect's Resources. In that case, the Extreme Heart Sect would be of little use to him. He might as well play the 'good person,' give Elder Jiu Ling a 'way out,' and avoid pushing him into desperation. Elder Jiu Ling was not Hong Wenren, and the Extreme Heart Sect was not a minor power like the Lishan Hong Family. They hadn't been overly arrogant, nor had they backed him into a corner or made him lose face. Forcing someone into a dead end without killing them was a sure way to court death!
