This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 388 - 16 Origin Demon Attack

Chapter 388: Chapter 16 Origin Demon Attack

“Qiu Shiyin?” Ji Chuan subconsciously repeated her name.

By now, Qiu Shiyin had already spontaneously grabbed Ji Chuan’s sleeve and slyly said, “Since we are on the same path, why not cooperate?

This mine is huge and has many pathways; there are plenty of Origin Demons. Outsiders come in like headless flies, possibly encountering seven or eight Origin Demons without gaining anything.”

But I am well aware of the situation inside, where the richest ore can be found, clearer than anyone.

I will be responsible for leading the way; you are responsible for dealing with the Origin Demons we encounter. When the time comes to divide the loot, how about a split of three to seven, three for me and seven for you?”

Qiu Shiyin was very excited, as if she had discovered some great treasure.

It turns out she’s a little female cultivator thief.

Taking advantage of the Qiu Family’s withdrawal from the Primordial Stone Orchid vein and the absence of guards, she sneaked in, hoping to mine some Primordial Stone Orchid and make a fortune.

This time, Ji Chuan understood Qiu Shiyin’s purpose. His lips twitched with implied meaning, “This is your Qiu Family’s vein, taking outsiders to dig your own resources might not be right.”

“No worries, I do not care about these details,” Qiu Shiyin said magnanimously with a wave of her hand.

“Besides, this is the Qiu Family’s vein, not mine. What does it have to do with me?

If I could take you guys around and get my hands on thirty percent of the Primordial Stone Orchid, then it really becomes mine,” whispered the little thief.

The justified tone of the little thief made Ji Chuan fall silent for a while.

He started to wonder why this female cultivator could make such shameless remarks sound so righteous.

But he couldn’t figure it out in the end.

Lu Qingshan, however, took Qiu Shiyin’s remarks quite well.

“Eighty-twenty, us eight, you two,” Lu Qingshan said cheerfully.

Qiu Shiyin immediately furrowed her delicate brows, seriously weighing her options internally.

After a long while, Qiu Shiyin nodded reluctantly, her face pained, “Alright, seeing as you helped me deal with that Demon Ape, I will suffer a bit of a loss, deal.”

“But, are you up to it? The Origin Demons in here are quite strong,” Qiu Shiyin said with some worry.

Lu Qingshan reassuringly patted Ji Chuan’s shoulder and soothed the little thief, “Don’t worry, there won’t be any big problems.”

“Awesome! A master indeed, a strong backer!” The next moment, Qiu Shiyin blinked and made a cupping gesture towards Ji Chuan, whose face was slightly dark.

Unfortunately, this seemingly charming gesture didn’t move Ji Chuan at all.

“However, we saw you in a sorry state when we arrived; if not for us, you might have died at the hands of an Origin Demon,” Ji Chuan countered, “I’m actually worried you might lead us into a wolf’s den.”

“There’s no such thing as being sure about everything. Accidents happen all the time,” Qiu Shiyin said nonchalantly, naturally putting away her hand gesture and motioning, “Follow me, I’ll show you whether or not I’m reliable.”

“Let’s go, let’s first check out the situation,” said Lu Qingshan, who also glanced at Qiu Shiyin’s silhouette and pursed his lips.

This female cultivator, does she truly have a bold heart, a love for wealth above life, or is there something else hidden?

She had nearly lost her life here before, and now she was boldly leading two cultivators she had just met back into the dangerous mine?

Ji Chuan nodded, not objecting.

The three of them walked together into the deep mine.

Just a few steps in and the mine’s tunnel started to become so dark they couldn’t see their own hands; however, this posed no problem for cultivators.

Night vision is a very basic ability for cultivators.

Lu Qingshan surveyed the mine’s walls on both sides.

On the yellow-brown walls, there were many odd traces similar to claw marks, too numerous to count, densely covering the entire tunnel of the mine.

These must be traces left by the Origin Demons.

Qiu Shiyin didn’t lie; she was indeed very familiar with the mine.

She led them twisting and turning, the claw marks on the mining walls gradually turned into pitted ancient caves, the dead air surged like a vast river, and a dull yellow light flowed through them.

“There’s a find!” The next instant, Qiu Shiyin’s eyes lit up, she reached into one of the ancient caves and pulled out a dark stone enveloped by the aura of death.

She snapped her hands together, and the seemingly tough black stone actually turned out to be very brittle, splitting instantly under Qiu Shiyin’s force.

Inside the black stone was a withered yellow orchid, its petals lifelike.

However, there was not a trace of vitality on it, only a full presence of eerie dead energy.

This was the Primordial Stone Orchid, a special mineral nearly indiscernible from a plant.

“Roar…”

Just then, a ferocious Origin Demon suddenly lunged from the darkness.

The Origin Demon had a greenish-black complexion, sharp fangs, and cold, shining claws reaching out.

The aura emanating from its body was significantly stronger than the one Ji Chuan had just slain at the entrance.

This was a Third Grade peak Origin Demon.

The intimidating presence of the Origin Demon immediately made Qiu Shiyin gasp softly.

She quickly covered her mouth, fearing to disturb other Origin Demons.

Seeing this scene, Ji Chuan merely snorted coldly.

His gaze was piercing.

“Swoosh!”

A long sword, radiant with light, flew out from his body, transforming into a dazzling rainbow that shot towards this terrifying Origin Demon.

“Roar…”

The Third Grade Origin Demon let out a roar, its crimson eyes filled with greed. It opened its monstrous mouth, and its terrifying white fangs aimed to crush Ji Chuan’s Flying Sword.

“Crack crack crack!”

Blood splattered as the divine light formed by the Flying Sword shattered the seemingly indestructible fangs into fragments, blending them into dust. Following that trajectory, it entered through the big mouth of the Origin Demon and passed straight through.

The next moment, copious amounts of blood surged from the massive body of the Origin Demon, which then died on the ground.

Third Grade Origin Demon, killed in one strike.

“Wow, he truly is a master!” Qiu Shiyin, initially stunned and somewhat disbelieving, exclaimed excitedly the next moment.

In the darkness, Qiu Shiyin’s eyes sparkled as she admired Ji Chuan, evidently in awe, “He is even a Sword Cultivator!”

The next moment, Qiu Shiyin lowered her voice, acting like an experienced elder, advising herself, “Qiu Shiyin, Sword Cultivators are not good men. They care even more about their swords than about their Dao Companions. You mustn’t falter, lest you be deceived.”

Quickly calming her excited emotions, Qiu Shiyin, holding the Primordial Stone Orchid, approached the two men to claim credit, “Nine pounds and three taels of Primordial Stone Orchid, how about that? I told you I was reliable!”

Ji Chuan glanced at Qiu Shiyin and said sternly, “Take us to the place where your Qiu family elder perished.”

“That’s impossible!” The words startled Qiu Shiyin, making her hurriedly shake her head, “The Origin Demon that killed Elder Qiu might still be lurking there. If we encounter it, wouldn’t it mean certain death?”

“That’s the terrifying Origin Demon even Elder Qiu couldn’t defeat!”

“Take us there.” In the darkness, Ji Chuan’s voice was very firm.

With a pitiful look, Qiu Shiyin turned her imploring eyes towards Lu Qingshan, hoping that the amiable cultivator would prevent the stern Sword Cultivator’s suggestion.

“It’s okay, let’s go for a walk.

Don’t worry, we are not foolish enough to simply seek our own death,” Lu Qingshan reassured her.

Qiu Shiyin glanced again at Ji Chuan, seeing that he still had no expression, she pouted and muttered something quietly before turning around to continue leading the two men further inside.

The three had only walked a short distance.

A loud roar, and another Origin Demon lunged at them from the darkness.

This Origin Demon had a ghostly head and a serpentine lower body, covered in yellow scales,

“Boom!”

A roaring Sword Light burst forth, slicing the Origin Demon into pieces, blood splattering everywhere.
