Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 256 - 219: The Boss Hasn’t Arrived, but the Treasure Meeting Starts First

Chapter 256: Chapter 219: The Boss Hasn’t Arrived, but the Treasure Meeting Starts First

As if the Hongyuan Bodhisattva had hit the nail on the head, Li Wufeng’s face blazed with a surge of blood light, and behind him, a vision of a Blood Sea abruptly emerged, the stench of blood instantly permeating the high platform.

It was at this moment that a voice that seemed both annoyed and amused suddenly rang out on the high platform:

“It stinks to death! Brother Li, hurry up and withdraw your Divine Skill! Otherwise, this girl is really going to get angry.”

Everyone’s heart skipped a beat as they uniformly turned to look in the direction of the voice, only to see a face that could bewitch all beings entering their sight.

She was breathtakingly gorgeous, reclining lazily in a Jade Chair, her beautiful face extraordinarily enchanting. Her peach blossom eyes held an untold number of amorous expressions, and the corners of her mouth gradually curled up into a smile captivating enough to seize one’s soul.

The “Heavenly Girl” of the Shade Maiden Clan, Li Wanru, was also a Nascent Soul Realm old monster.

“Alright! Take your seats quickly! It’s just a Foundation Establishment junior, no need to spoil everyone’s harmony. Let’s focus on the important matters at hand.”

The speaker was a skeleton over ten feet tall, its whole body crystal clear and gleaming with dazzling golden light, resembling a perfect piece of art.

It sat beside the Heavenly Girl, with Blood Demon Sect’s Li Wufeng on its right-hand side.

“Skeleton Ancestor of the Wanshi Sect!” Zhao Sheng’s heart leapt, and he quickly recalled a troublesome bigwig from the Shattered Star Sea.

Zhao Sheng surreptitiously observed and noticed that on the main seat of the high platform, there were six Jade Chairs. Already seated were the bigwigs from the Blood Demon Sect, Shade Maiden Clan, and Wanshi Sect, along with the Hongyuan Bodhisattva, leaving two seats vacant.

Needless to say, those who would sit there later would definitely be peers of equal stature.

“What’s going on? It’s just a trade fair, yet it has drawn out so many big shots? Had I known it would be like this, even if the description was alluring, I would not have come here.”

Now it was too late to say such things. Zhao Sheng silently strategized, deciding to play it by ear for the time being.

On the other side, the Hongyuan Bodhisattva withdrew her gaze and lightly waved her jade hand with a faint smile.

In an instant, a group of monks and nuns, treasure parasols, cloud canopies, bell and qing music, as well as lotus throne, all suddenly dispersed into a cloud of mist, merging into the heaven and earth.

In the next moment, the Hongyuan Bodhisattva had already taken a seat on the Jade Chair, half-reclining lazily just like the Heavenly Girl, revealing a pair of flawlessly perfect jade legs and feet.

If it were not known that its original form was that of a thousand-year-old corpse-eating vulture, at least half of those present would have fallen under its skirt, irrespective of gender or demon.

“Hehe! Little fellow, why aren’t you quickly taking a seat? What are you dawdling for?”

At this time, the Heavenly Girl Li Wanru spoke up again.

The voice that came from her red lips was a kind of bewitching ecstasy that could lead people to indulge in wild fantasies, indescribably charming.

But upon hearing it, many of the Evil Demons changed color in shock.

Zhao Sheng, the target of that voice, felt his blood surging and a nameless anger rising in his heart after hearing it.

However, in the next instant, his eyes flashed, his expression became calm, and his body returned to normal.

Shortly after, he found a secluded and less crowded spot to sit down, closed his eyes to rest, staying silent and unobtrusive, trying to minimize his presence.

However, after what had just happened, he had already attracted many gazes.

Only those who passed certain tests were allowed to sit down, and it seems you alone have disturbed several big shots.

“A whelp from the Sea Demon Clan, ignoring many profound Magical Treasures of your own clan to study that troublesome ‘Blood Soul Scripture.’

Just wait until the right moment, and we’ll see how you die!”

Some of the narrow-minded Evil Demons muttered to themselves in their minds.

From a broader perspective, the enmity between the Sea Demon Clan and the Human Clan ran deep as the sea, making them utterly irreconcilable.

But for the group of long-term old demons present, which of them hadn’t killed countless people and had their hands stained with the blood of their own kin? Talk of clan feuds was all nonsense to them; only matters of interest could drive them to move against a member of the Sea Demon Clan, who clearly was not easy to provoke.

Moreover, Dragon Head Island was currently under the reign of the Sea Demon Clan. To lay hands on a member of the Sea Demon Clan here would be the act of a fool.

Hmm, there really is a “fool” here.

Across from Zhao Sheng, separated by thirteen or fourteen tables, Skeleton Boy occasionally lifted his eyelids, glancing over at Zhao Sheng with deep malice hidden in his eyes.

The sensing talisman in his sleeve had become extremely hot ever since Zhao Sheng took his seat.

“The target actually appears here; it must be fate!” he thought intensely.

At this moment, Zhao Sheng, who seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, had already triggered his danger perception.

Through the slits of his eyes, he suddenly saw clusters of red, yellow, white, and the most dangerous, black mist rising on the stage.

Despite having prepared beforehand, Zhao Sheng was still startled by the sight before him.

About twenty-something people were in attendance, with over half of them emanating black mist, eight red (five deep and three light tones), three yellow, and only five white.

Red already signified extreme danger, capable of threatening his life, whereas black, the representation of death, was even more self-explanatory.

Zhao Sheng considered himself to be among the top in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

But… the fact that more than half of those present were stronger than him was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Soon, a fiercely pulsating blood-red mist caught Zhao Sheng’s attention.

His gaze shifted stealthily, and he noticed its owner was a gaunt young man dressed in the Hundred Skull Robe.

Despite the other’s excellent disguise… his murderous intent was exposed.

For a moment, Zhao Sheng silently heightened his vigilance.

As time flowed, two more guests arrived on stage.

After waiting for most of the day, no one else came.

The banquet on the high stage had already cleared away the fine wine and dishes, and groups of stunning beauties danced amidst the music, their movements captivating and seductive.

But at this time, the demon cultivators and the members of alien races had already grown impatient, and no dance, no matter how elegant, could catch their interest.

If not for the presence of four Nascent Soul bigwigs to keep order, these old demons and monsters would have already flipped the tables.

At this point, Li Wufeng couldn’t hold back his temper and bellowed, “Hongyuan, when will that old monk Sky Wolf come?”

By his side, Heavenly Girl Li Wanru also chimed in, “Sky Wolf Arhat must have been delayed by important matters. Why do not we start the trade meet first?”

“Hmm, this Ancestor agrees to this proposition!” Skeleton Ancestor’s jaw bone opened and closed, his voice eerily firm.

Hongyuan Bodhisattva did not wish to offend three peers simultaneously, thus quickly nodded and said, “Since that’s the case, let’s follow everyone’s suggestion.”

“Heh heh! Come on then, bring out your treasures. If any catch my fancy, I guarantee you will not be disappointed!”

Skeleton Ancestor, left with nothing but a skeletal frame as tough as Vajra, turned out to be the most exuberant among the four Nascent Soul old demons.

With its command, the atmosphere on the stage immediately livened up, and the demon cultivators of various races started to present the treasures they had prepared, placing them on the jade tables in front of them.

Zhao Sheng looked around, and wherever his eyes landed, the tables were filled with treasures shining brightly; talisman treasures and top-grade Spiritual Artifacts were commonplace, and there were luminous Magical Treasures, third-tier and above Spirit Pills and Treasure Talismans, magical refining materials such as Qilin Iron, and even the inner cores and spiritual bones of Great Demons, along with other rare marvels.

Whenever Spiritual Medicine and Strange Fruit appeared, they were no less than a thousand years old, and even a Nine-leaf Spirit Ginseng as thick as a child’s arm had manifested a spiritual nature, with a chubby and tender baby’s silhouette faintly visible above the ginseng’s leaves.

When Zhao Sheng’s gaze fell upon a certain table, his eyelids couldn’t help but twitch—a set of three shining Golden Core Formation Pills were neatly placed in an open Jade Box.

The owner of the Jade Box turned out to be that sacred and otherworldly Golden Core Gu Cultivator.

Zhao Sheng glanced at that individual and then covertly checked the items in his Storage Bag, his heart stirring as he quietly took out the Enlightenment Pill Fragment and a pill bottle containing two Foundation Establishment Pills to place before him on the table.

At the same time, he flipped his hand and revealed a stone box sealed with a Sealing Talisman, carved from a single piece of Pure Yin Spirit Stone, containing the strange nematode he had discovered in a Mist Sea Cave.
