Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 257 - 220: It Doesn’t Taste the Same After the First Time

Chapter 257: Chapter 220: It Doesn’t Taste the Same After the First Time

The trading session had just begun when the gathering of Old Demon Evil Cultivators eagerly displayed numerous treasures.

For a moment, every table was adorned with spirit light and vibrant colors, a display of rare treasures and waves of exotic fragrances.

This sight greatly widened Zhao Sheng’s horizons and left his heart racing.

Just then, the Skeleton Ancestor suddenly complained loudly, “Bah, you think you can fool the Ancestor with these broken trash today? A bunch of Evil Demons from the Outer Path trying to act like the Righteous Path in front of the Ancestor! Minions, stop hiding the collected bones, souls, and flesh and bring them out to show off a bit!”

“Cackle!”

“Hey, old man here has a Thousand Soul Banner, containing the souls of a thousand people. Whoever wants it just let me know!”

“Hey, Ancestor, don’t rush! The good stuff obviously comes out later for trades. How about a Blossom of Rotten Bone Fire that’s ten thousand years old, Ancestor, do you want it?”

“That’s right, it should have been shown earlier! True Immortal here has collected a jar of heart blood from ten thousand people. Any fellow Daoist interested?”

“Five Spirit Root Children for sale, among them one with three spirit roots, currently on a deserted island. Any interested parties can trade with me, Hundred Bird Guest.”

…

With a single sentence from the Skeleton Ancestor, the attendees became excited, revealing their true monstrous and evil nature.

A large amount of demon bones and spiritual bones were piled up high, jars of essence blood emitted beams of blood light, and numerous soul banners and ghost flags floated in the air, showing countless wailing human souls and thousands of demon souls.

Corpse Control Bells, Soul Losing Bells, Hundred Charm Maps, Gu Nests, Meat Puppets… among other bizarre and sinister treasures were also displayed.

Some were even cruder, pulling out pale stiff bodies of Cultivators and carcasses of demon beasts and tossing them beneath the tables to pile up like a butcher selling pork.

The bodies of Cultivators were also a rare resource, especially for Corpse and Demon Cultivators skilled in manipulating corpses.

In just a few breaths, the scene on the high platform had completely changed, as if something only seen in hell had emerged—evil, savage, bloody, eerie, and chilling to the bone.

Of course, a few Demon Cultivators also brought out various Spiritual Fires, spiritual water, spirit soil, and other Heaven and Earth spiritual objects.

Zhao Sheng even saw a high-level Heavenly Earth spiritual object named Heavenly Heart Ice Marrow, which was as precious as any other Heaven and Earth True Water.

Seeing the scenes of blood and evil before him, Zhao Sheng shook his head silently, “No wonder the Righteous Path forces have always fought against the Evil Demons from the Outer Path since ancient times. Having seen this today, they were indeed… right in doing so!”

“Cackle!”

Li Wufeng, who sat in the main seat, cackled with laughter, reached out his hand, and jars of essence blood whistled as they flew towards his table. Simultaneously, he threw handfuls of top-grade spirit stones, which landed precisely in the hands of each seller.

The Skeleton Ancestor was not idle either. It opened its big mouth, and a dark vortex of suction forcefully formed inside.

The next moment, a large amount of human and demon spiritual bones suddenly flew up into the air, forming a river of skeletons that grandly entered the Skeleton Ancestor’s mouth.

After the last femur was swallowed by the vortex, the Skeleton Ancestor let out a satisfied belch, spewing out some bone debris.

Simultaneously, the indestructible bone frame it possessed emitted an even more dazzling golden light.

“Hehe, these few beads are a reward for you guys!”

Saying so, the Skeleton Ancestor pulled out several fist-sized, pale smooth Bone Beads from its frame.throwing them in front of the tables of the Demon Cultivators who had brought the bones.

Meanwhile, Heavenly Girl and Hongyuan Bodhisattva silently picked items that caught their eye.

Despite having joined the Buddhist Sect, the Bodhisattva still had a special fondness for corpses, sweeping all those above the Foundation Establishment Realm from the high platform.

The Heavenly Girl was clearly more selective.

She showed no interest in bones, soul blood, or demonic treasures, but she was particularly focused on Heaven and Earth spiritual objects.

She swept away the Heavenly Heart Ice Marrow among several other high-level Heavenly Earth spiritual objects in one go.

A quarter hour later, after the four Nascent Soul experts had finished picking, the rest of the people below started to officially trade.

Seeing others getting up to browse through the treasures, Zhao Sheng quietly joined in.

The standard and rarity of the treasures at this event were among the rarest he had seen in his five lifetimes.

Just a brief glance around filled Zhao Sheng with excitement, and he thought to himself that coming here was indeed the right decision.

Watching item after item such as swords, flags, towers, and other Magical Treasures being placed on the tables, he touched the Storage Bag at his waist and couldn’t help but sigh at his own poverty.

Any random Magical Treasure on the table could easily cost millions.

Zhao Sheng, emptying his pockets, could at most afford one or two items.

But he looked down on ordinary low-grade Magical Treasures.

And Mid-grade or higher Magical Treasures, starting at several million spirit stones, were out of his reach.

“Since Magical Treasures… hmm!” Just as Zhao Sheng was reflecting, he suddenly sensed something was off.

It was just a bit too late, as there were already seven or eight figures around the table of the female Gu cultivator selling Golden Core Formation Pills.

No explanation needed, they were obviously there for the Golden Core Formation Pills.

Zhao Sheng’s expression shifted slightly, and without further delay, he rushed over as well.

Approaching, he heard a low, hoarse female voice say, “Only trading for exotic Gu worms, Gu Scripture, Life Elixirs, or other treasures that can heal Divine Soul injuries. Or something that can truly captivate me.”

Zhao Sheng was delighted at the words, but he didn’t approach immediately; instead, he decided to first see how things would turn out.

A quarter hour later, there were still two Golden Core Formation Pills on the table that hadn’t been traded away.

The Golden Core Gu Cultivator had unexpectedly high standards, and most people before him had returned empty-handed, which worried Zhao Sheng.

Next, it was his turn.

Zhao Sheng stepped forward, pushing a spirit stone box containing a strange nematode in front of the Gu cultivator, and lifted the Sealing Talisman on the box.
