Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Crops, and Lacking Physique

The opposite cultivators on the desk thought-about the change absurd! They could not consider I had the audacity to ask for a lot from a Golden Core cultivator!

My gaze remained fastened on the Golden Core cultivator, ready eagerly for his response. One thing inside me informed me it might work. I knew he would settle for it! There was one thing particular about that historical scroll that he desired deeply.

“Superb, I conform to your phrases. Since it is a vital transaction, we will finalize it in a extra non-public location after the assembly,” he agreed.

That was it! It labored! Not solely would I purchase much more non secular stones than his preliminary provide, but in addition an unbelievable alchemy approach! It could not get any higher than that!

The opposite cultivators checked out me with envy. The sum of non secular stones alone was one thing these within the Basis Institution realm could not fathom.

After two extra trades, it was time to conclude the assembly. They left one after the other to make sure their identities remained hidden. n)-o.-V./e/-L-(b(-I(-n

Solely myself, Solar Liang, Solar Shi, and the enigmatic Golden Core cultivator remained.

Solar Liang eliminated his masks, adopted by Solar Shi and the Golden Core cultivator.

“It is alright, Tian Li. This previous geezer is a good friend of mine,” Solar Liang reassured.

Everybody had taken off their masks, together with Solar Shi, so I adopted swimsuit.

“Junior greets Elder…”

“Name me Zhao Fa. I used to be certainly making an attempt to deceive you earlier, however that is as a result of I had no concept who you had been!” Zhao Fa confessed with an ungainly smile.

His complexion was darker than Solar Liang’s, and he possessed a extra athletic physique. I assumed he was a type of cultivators who centered on bodily coaching.

Zhao Fa’s beard and hair had been related in measurement to Solar Liang’s, however they retained their black colour as an alternative of turning gray like his good friend’s.

“I do have an alchemy approach right here that’s even superior to those Solar Liang possesses, however there is a catch.”

“A catch?” I inquired.

“Sure. Firstly, it’s difficult to observe, and a few people could also be unable to grasp it. Secondly, this cultivation artwork step by step loses its efficacy within the Golden Core stage as a result of it’s incomplete!”

One other incomplete approach! I knew such varieties had been often historical strategies with potent results, at the very least in accordance with the cultivation novels I had learn. Buying the following elements for it might be a frightening job, but it surely was higher than having nothing in any respect!

With it, I might undoubtedly rise as an unbelievable alchemist, although reaching the Golden Core stage was nonetheless a protracted journey forward. Heck, I wasn’t even sure if I might ever obtain it. What if I met an premature demise? Such outcomes had been commonplace within the cultivation world.

“Junior wish to do that cultivation artwork,” I stated.

“Superb. Right here, take it.”

Zhao Fa handed me a small pouch adorned with intricate drawings. It appeared too petite to comprise 5000 non secular stones, and the mere considered it quickened my heartbeat.

“This can be a Spatial Pouch. It has the flexibility to carry quite a few gadgets and is sort of worthwhile. I provide it to you as an apology for my earlier conduct.”

For Golden Core cultivators like Zhao Fa and Solar Liang, low-grade Spatial Pouches had been cheap and didn’t elicit a lot awe.

Nonetheless, for somebody like me, a feeble Qi Condensation cultivator, such pouches had been treasures! I may hardly consider the abundance of riches I had acquired in a single assembly.

“Thanks very a lot, Elder Zhao.”

I discreetly hid the Spatial Pouch inside my gown, guaranteeing that it remained hidden from prying eyes.

“Expensive good friend Solar, could I pay a go to to your sect? I’ve some issues to debate with you there,” Zhao Fa proposed.

“Oh?”

Solar Liang expressed his curiosity, however kept away from additional dialogue as each Solar Shi and I weren’t meant to overhear their dialog. As soon as the assembly concluded and Zhao Fa confirmed his intention to go to Solar Liang’s sect, all of us boarded the identical carriage to return.

I used to be not silly sufficient to enterprise out of the town alone. What number of instances had I learn clichéd tales the place the protagonist would go away a gathering solely to be ambushed by robbers? For heaven’s sake.

Luckily, Riverside was conveniently located alongside their route, and after a day of journey, they made a particular cease for me.

“That is the place you reside?” Solar Liang inquired, gazing out of the carriage window at my humble farm.

“Sure, it’s.”

“A tranquil abode. Anyway, keep in mind what I informed you, proper? I’ll now share with you the placement of the sect…”

A lavish carriage handed by Riverside, an uncommon incidence in these elements. I surveyed my farm, inhaling deeply and relishing the crisp air.

“I’m dwelling…”

I could not comprise my pleasure to start working towards the newfound alchemy cultivation artwork and ignite my first flame. With the ample quantity of non secular stones obtained from the change, I had greater than sufficient to buy an alchemy furnace and embark on pill-making!

As quickly as I arrived, Dai Guiren appeared earlier than me. Whether or not he had been ready or it was merely a coincidental encounter, I could not say, however that man was all the time remarkably swift.

“Tian Li,” he greeted, bowing his head. “There’s one thing peculiar…”

“Peculiar? Has one thing occurred to my farm?” I requested, my tone tinged with aggression.

Dai Guiren shook his head. “No, no. Your farm is in good order. It is relating to the shack within the woods that you simply talked about.”

“What about it?”

“We discovered the lady’s physique there, together with proof of the homicide, however Kang Duyi’s physique was nowhere to be discovered… Are you sure he was there?”

I clenched my fists tightly. It appeared like the start of a rattling villain arc.

Kang Duyi’s physique was meant to be current, however in accordance with the mayor’s account, it was nowhere to be discovered. That might solely imply one factor—he had survived!

Nonetheless, Dai Guiren assured me that there had been no uncommon exercise within the space. If he had been to invest, Kang Duyi had seemingly fled Riverside, fearing that I’d come after him as soon as extra.

“I am going to handle that matter later,” I declared, and Dai Guiren understood, taking his go away.

With out additional delay, I entered my dwelling to verify on Massive F. He appeared strong and overjoyed to see me!

Glancing via the window of my modest cabin, I seen that my crops had been prepared for harvest.

“Effectively, nicely, nicely, time for some Religious Herbs!” I whispered to myself, hastening my steps as I left the cabin.
