The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World-Chapter 368: There are kind-hearted ones among demonic cultivators

Kang Jia, still somewhat dazed, walked away with the spiritual sense jade slip in hand. Was the deal really done just like that? He had thought Dong Qi would actually hold back on the Alchemy experience, but this demonic cultivator… seemed to be a rather decent person.

"Falling Sun Demon Fortress's Dong Qi, truly a man of integrity. I'll remember you. If you were a righteous dao cultivator, we would have been like-minded friends, but alas…"

Kang Jia couldn't help but glance back at Chu Xuan a few more times before finally leaving.

Shang Xingchen chuckled softly, "This Fellow Daoist Kang, he seems so inexperienced. Probably a disciple personally trained by a Deity Transformation ancestor at Feiry Sky Cloud Pavilion, always focused on his own cultivation there."

Chu Xuan nodded, "Indeed. But why would he come to the Heavenly Metal Battlefield to take such risks?"

Shang Xingchen's expression shifted with curiosity.

Wei Ji interjected, "Probably because of that so-called righteous and its grand ideals."

Chu Xuan and Shang Xingchen both laughed.

Righteous dao cultivators were always waving the banner of "acting on behalf of the heavens" and "eradicating demons and evil." After a while, they even started to believe it themselves. Over the next period, more righteous dao cultivators continued to visit the trio's booth. After all, demonic cultivator items were hard to resist.

Whether it was Demonic Talismans or Evil Pills, they had side effects, but they could unleash power far beyond that of normal talismans and pills in a short amount of time. Moreover, with the decline of Spiritual Qi on the Heavenly Metal Battlefield, righteous dao cultivators were forced to seek out other means to maintain their combat strength.

Body refining, Gu Insects, blood techniques, poison arts… These methods didn't rely on Spiritual Qi and could still enhance one's power. Out in the outside world, they would have scorned using such means. But now, to survive, they had no choice but to rely on them. Even the strongest cultivators had to bow to reality. Before long, the trio had sold most of the items on their tables.

Chu Xuan wasn't sure about Shang Xingchen and Wei Ji's circumstances, but as for himself—he had made quite a profit. All the items he had obtained could easily be converted into combat power with just a little time and effort. Especially the Shadow Demon Worm—that was one of his key supports for advancing into Deity Transformation in the future.

Just then, two figures approached together. Chu Xuan looked up to see Qiu Wanhong and Long Hao. At this moment, Long Hao was standing proudly beside Qiu Wanhong, a smug look on his face.

The surrounding cultivators immediately took notice. It seemed like the two from Crazy Dragon Valley were about to confront the three demonic cultivators from Sunset Demon Fortress.

Long Hao pointed a trembling finger at Chu Xuan's nose and growled, "Senior Sister, I just saw him take out the cultivation techniques of our Crazy Dragon Valley! He must have killed one of our Crazy Dragon Valley cultivators!"

Chu Xuan shook his head repeatedly, "Just because I possess your Crazy Dragon Valley's cultivation techniques, does that mean I killed your people? Fellow Daoist, you must be mistaken. I, Dong Qi, have always focused on cultivating merit and acting with kindness. How could I casually kill people? After all, even among demonic cultivators, there are kind-hearted ones!"

At those words, both Shang Xingchen and Wei Ji couldn't help but cringe.

Qiu Wanhong furrowed her brow deeply. Cultivating merit? What nonsense! If demonic cultivators could cultivate merit, the entire cultivation world would have long since changed!

The onlookers couldn't hold back their laughter either. The idea of a demonic cultivator cultivating merit was surely the greatest joke in the world! Clearly, Dong Qi from Sunset Demon Fortress was just putting on an act.

Qiu Wanhong looked Chu Xuan up and down, her voice cold, "Dong Qi, hand over the Crazy Dragon Valley's cultivation techniques."

Long Hao was taken aback. From the way Qiu Wanhong spoke, it seemed like she had no intention of making a move. That wouldn't do! This Dong Qi must be killed to uphold the prestige of Crazy Dragon Valley! Just as he was about to speak, Qiu Wanhong shot him a sideways glance. The commanding presence of an elder was unmistakable.

Though both were Nascent Soul cultivators and addressed each other as Senior Brother and Junior Brother, Qiu Wanhong had long been in the later stage of Nascent Soul and was well-established in her reputation. Long Hao, on the other hand, had only recently entered the Nascent Soul stage less than ten years ago. Naturally, he dared not oppose Qiu Wanhong's intentions.

Seeing that Chu Xuan still hadn't moved, Qiu Wanhong was about to scold him when Chu Xuan's aura suddenly surged, rising from Golden Core late stage to Nascent Soul early stage. The Nascent Soul aura caused the onlookers to grow serious. To still possess such power at the Nascent Soul stage—this Dong Qi must be no simple character!

Qiu Wanhong's expression subtly changed, and her tone softened, "May I ask, Fellow Daoist Dong, where did you obtain the Crazy Dragon Valley techniques?"

Chu Xuan smiled, "I picked them up, just some remnants."

Qiu Wanhong nodded, "In that case, it's no trouble. Our Crazy Dragon Valley's complete techniques are not meant to be leaked according to our rules. I was merely inquiring out of courtesy."

Chu Xuan nodded, "I admire Fellow Daoist Qiu for your dedication to your sect."

Qiu Wanhong gave a slight tug to the bewildered Long Hao and turned to leave. The righteous dao cultivators, who had been watching eagerly, quickly turned away and resumed their own transactions. No one dared glance at Chu Xuan again.

On the other side, in a secluded corner, Long Hao couldn't help but ask, "Senior Sister, why didn't you make a move on him? This person must have the vengeful souls of our Crazy Dragon Valley cultivators! It could even be my missing cousin, Long Chen!"

Qiu Wanhong shot him a fierce glare. "He still retains the power of the Nascent Soul early stage! Demonic cultivators often have many secretive methods up their sleeves. Given the current environment, where Spiritual Qi is waning, the techniques he hides may well surpass mine. To kill him, we'd need to use several of our trump cards. Engaging him in a full-scale battle, what would we truly gain from it? How would it benefit us? Have you thought about these questions?" freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Long Hao stammered, unable to answer immediately. He lowered his head after a long pause. "Senior Sister, I was wrong."

Qiu Wanhong scolded him, "You need to change your reckless habits, or one day, you won't even know how you died. Do you really think that just because you've reached the Nascent Soul stage, you can live a carefree life?"

Long Hao gave a perfunctory nod but couldn't help but ask, "So, we're just letting him go?"

Qiu Wanhong sighed deeply, thinking to herself, "Did I just waste my breath? Being reckless and bloodthirsty is not the way to immortality. This Spirit Wood Forest is rich in Spiritual Qi, and its value is only slightly less than the great spirit stone mines. As long as we stay here, the decline in our strength won't be rapid. We just need to wait. Time will naturally widen the gap between us and Dong Qi. At that point, killing him will be as easy as killing a dog!"

Long Hao's eyes lit up with understanding, and he grinned, "So, Senior Sister, you do want to kill him! I understand now!"

Qiu Wanhong looked at her junior brother with a shake of her head.

Long Hao's cultivation journey had been smooth sailing. He became a Nascent Soul cultivator in less than four hundred years. But his lack of real-world experience was evident. Just the fact that he couldn't hide his excitement now was a potential weakness that could cost him his life someday. How could he take over the position of Crazy Dragon Valley's sect master if he kept this up?

Qiu Wanhong sighed inwardly, "Forget it, there will be plenty of time for him to gain experience. That Dong Qi is nothing but a mere obstacle, not worth thinking too much about. In time, we'll simply deal with him when the time is right. But what we need to focus on now is the great spirit stone mine outside Heaven-Three City. How powerful is Chu Xuan, the cultivator from the Heavenly Infinite Sect, who occupies it? Before making any real moves, we need to probe his strength first."
