I Have A Martial Dao World-Chapter 740 - 739. The So-Called Demon Cultivator

Chapter 740: 739. The So-Called Demon Cultivator Chapter 740: 739. The So-Called Demon Cultivator Baoding Pavilion was no mediocre establishment; its wares were spectacular, all rare and fine products.

However, the prices were generally twenty percent higher, leading average cultivators to prefer smaller shops for more economical deals.

But Lu Yao didn’t care about the price; after a brief glance, he began sweeping up goods immediately.

He didn’t buy anything else, focusing on the Thousand-Year Ginseng, Lingzhi, as well as a variety of Spirit Fruits.

These plants, bathed in abundant spiritual energy and fragrant in scent, were a first for Lu Yao as well.

At that moment, he tried a “Crystal Plum,” and instantly, his mouth was filled with a refreshing and fragrant fruit aroma.

It was juicy and sweet and rich in nutrients, greatly beneficial to the body, perfect to buy some for his family to taste.

...

Such fine things were on average only fifty inferior-grade Spirit Stones each. To Lu Yao, it was almost like getting them for free.

He grabbed whatever caught his eye, taking up nearly ten thousand inferior-grade Spirit Stones’ worth of goods in one go.

The smile on the face of Du Lan, the shopkeeper, grew increasingly sincere as she jocularly said:

“Esteemed guest has good taste; these spiritual herbs and fruits are carefully selected. Whether for Alchemy or direct consumption, they are very effective.”

Behind Lu Yao, there were five attendants helping to carry items, each holding many wooden boxes.

With a slight wave of his hand, all the wooden boxes suddenly entered into a Space-Time Bubble and disappeared.

Seeing this, Du Lan’s expression grew serious: “A Mustard Seed Bag!?”

Spatial treasures were not something just anyone could afford. Du Lan immediately realized that the person in front of her was even more extravagant than she had imagined and promptly suggested:

“Why doesn’t the esteemed guest take a look at our Baoding Pavilion’s third floor? There are many real treasures.”

Lu Yao nodded, “Then let’s go have a look, I just happen to need to purchase a few Cultivation Techniques.”

“You’ll definitely be satisfied!”

Realizing a big sale was coming, Du Lan secretly rubbed her hands together and led the way.

~~~~~~~~~~

There were no counters on the third floor of Baoding Pavilion, just one private chamber after another.

With solemn care, Du Lan put on a pair of silk gloves made from heavenly silkworms and brought out one after another brocade box engraved with Arrays.

“Millennium He Shou Wu,” “Pan Peach,” “Ginseng Fruit,”…

Such Spiritual Objects were obviously more precious than the previous ones and were more troublesome to preserve.

Lu Yao watched with interest. As each item was presented, he nodded and without hesitation purchased them.

Previously, on the second floor, he had sold goods amounting to ten thousand inferior-grade Spirit Stones, which were equivalent to one hundred medium-grade Spirit Stones.

But in just a short quarter of an hour after coming to the third floor, the transaction amount had already reached a thousand medium-grade Spirit Stones!

At that moment, Du Lan’s face flushed with excitement, and despite her deep scheming, she could not hide the joyous color on her face.

No wonder she was so happy. The items Lu Yao casually bought were absolute solid assets.

They could be used as currency, as well as for cultivation, healing injuries, operating Magical Treasures, laying Arrays, and so on.

The current transaction volume was undoubtedly a big deal, and they hadn’t even reached the most profitable part involving Cultivation Techniques!

To Lu Yao, the previous purchases were akin to casually buying fruit; what came next was the main event.

Du Lan started introducing the top Cultivation Techniques treasured by Baoding Pavilion.

“Heaven and Earth Grand Wind Scripture,” “Billowing Wave Melody,” “Flame Dragon Divine Fire Technique,”…

Although he could only see one or two pages, Lu Yao had swiftly judged that these Cultivation Techniques were of little use to him.

Cultivation in this realm relied too heavily on spiritual energy and was all about how well one adapted to it, competing to see who could absorb more and faster.

When it came down to actual cultivation practices, they were somewhat lacking in precision.

However, Lu Yao’s goal was not those, but to gather information on “Law Elemental Spirit.”

This content is taken from fгeewebnovёl.com.

The great powers of the Divine Land had actually crossed realms to come here, and even if they had not left behind any major teachings or succession, there were sure to be traces.

Indeed, a “Indestructible Golden Body” caught Lu Yao’s eye.

Just by the name alone, one could be certain—this was definitely a legacy from the Divine Land.

And by looking at the first two pages, which contained over a hundred words, they discussed the method of refining Aperture Points! This made it even more indisputable!

Seeing the distinguished guest clearly interested, Du Lan eagerly said,

“Esteemed guest has good taste. Although this is a Demon Cultivator’s cultivation technique, its effects on body forging are outstanding, and upon mastery, one can even use their physical body to block Magical Treasures~”

She praised it at length before saying,

“After mastering this technique, one will have the combat power of a Nascent Soul Cultivator, so the price is a little high, requiring 300 Medium Grade Spirit Stones. I can give you a discount to 280~”

Lu Yao waved his hand grandly, “Agreed, I am looking for a body forging technique! A Demon Cultivator technique, huh… I’ll take it!”

Even if the inheritance was the same, the manual in his hand was considered “ancient” and had great referential significance, so of course, he had to buy it.

“Esteemed customer is so straightforward!”

Only then did Du Lan happily pack two Secret Manuals into a box and hand it over to Lu Yao.

Afterward, Lu Yao casually remarked as if making idle conversation, “Who would have thought that I could buy a Demon Cultivator’s body forging technique in Zhao Country.”

“There is no distinction of right or wrong in cultivation methods; our Zhao Country is not like those hypocritical sanctimonious types.”

Du Lan naturally wanted to be on good terms with a generous customer like Lu Yao, so she eagerly continued the conversation,

“After several consecutive victories, the Demon Cultivators are on the brink of collapse, and the Demon Domain will eventually be fully consumed. Their powerful and efficient cultivation methods will naturally be integrated into our Xuanhuang Realm. We can no longer cling to the distinctions between righteous and demonic paths.”

Her arguments were sound, reminding people that this woman was also a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.

And Lu Yao confirmed that these so-called “Demon Cultivators” were probably… his own fellow countrymen.

He just didn’t know why they had fallen to such a state, becoming Demon Cultivators hunted by all.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Next, Lu Yao generously took out Spirit Stones to settle the bill and chatted with Du Lan a bit more to increase his knowledge.

When both host and guest were content, a commotion suddenly arose outside Baoding Pavilion.

Du Lan clapped her hands, and a light screen lit up in the elegant room, projecting the happenings outside.

One saw a group of “Heavenly Soldiers” in full golden armor escorting a prison cart flying through the sky, creating a spectacle as they passed over the streets.

“The Crown Prince has returned triumphant!”

Du Lan explained, “Previously, Great Zhao joined forces with Jin and Qian countries to campaign against the Demon Cultivators. The Crown Prince led the troops and achieved a complete victory, capturing countless Demon Cultivators.”

Without changing his expression, Lu Yao nodded. His Divine Thought had already clearly observed everything happening outside.

The imposing Heavenly Soldiers, the disheveled prisoners in the cart, and the leading majestic and valorous Crown Prince.

[A Divinity Transformation Realm prince, and an Immortal Emperor in the Mahayana Realm, I cannot act rashly…]

The Nascent Soul was equivalent to the Golden Body, and above that, there were two higher realms: Divinity Transformation and Mahayana.

Although Lu Yao sympathized with his fellow countrymen, “this Xuanhuang Realm” was just the tip of the iceberg that had been uncovered, and it was not the time to reveal himself.

…

At this moment, having finished all matters in Baoding Pavilion, Lu Yao immediately took his leave.

He planned to visit other places to see if he could find higher-level “Demon Cultivator techniques,” preferably to have a conversation with a Demon Cultivator.

But just as Lu Yao had not gone far after leaving, Du Lan suddenly caught up from behind.

“Young Master Lu, I have just received news, there will be an auction tomorrow. There will be countless treasures, including Demon Cultivator slaves captured by the Crown Prince!”
