Chapter 70 - 70: Five Elements Sect Shop 1



He Qun nodded in agreement after listening.

“Of course, if you want to gain something in Yun Meng Ze, you generally need to battle with demonic beasts.”

The deeper you go, the stronger the demonic beasts. Correspondingly, the rewards you get after victory become greater. Beasts of Rank-2 and above have their inner cores, which are necessary for alchemy. Every major sect would purchase them at a high price.”

“Many lone cultivators, if they want to exchange for Foundation Building Pills from major sect trade associations, can only risk their lives to delve deeper and hunt beasts of Rank-3 and above for their inner cores.”

Listening to this, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but be taken aback.

He hadn’t thought that alchemy in the Tianhe Realm would utilize demonic beasts’ inner cores. This was completely different from how it was done in Di Yuan star.

However, thinking about it more in-depth, it was understandable. On Di Yuan star, high-rank beasts were rare. Most of them were on the verge of extinction and were listed as protected spirit beasts by the fairy sects. Mention not killing them for their inner cores. Even hurting one would make big news.”

It seemed that the alchemy method in the Tianhe Realm had its merits if it was up to par in terms of dan poison control.”

Thinking this, Chen Mobai asked how to get to Yun Meng Ze.

■■I am planning to form a team to hunt Cold Snakes, and you’re welcome to join if you follow commands.”

He Qun had some knowledge about Chen Mobai. He knew that he was at least at the Qi Cultivation level of six, and he had many powerful talismans. If his team could recruit Chen Mobai, it would be a big help.”

“When will fellow cultivator depart?”

Chen Mobai was tempted but decided to remain cautious instead of accepting the offer outright.

“Three days from now. With you included, there will be seven people. After hunting the Cold Snake, the spoils will be divided equally. However, the snake gall must be handed to me. If there’s any difference in value, it can be compensated with Spirit Stones.”

“I will consider it and give fellow cultivator my reply tomorrow.”

Having said that, Chen Mobai left He Qun’s stall.

Afterward, he first asked Qi Er about He Qun’s reputation in the Southstream Market and found it to be quite good. Cultivators who went out with him were generally able to return safely. Only occasionally would someone perish. However, given the treacherous nature of Yun Meng Ze, his team had an impressively high survival rate.

Chen Mobai was relieved. At this point, one of his stall neighbors returned. It was Lu Shu. Chen Mobai curiously asked him for his opinion.

You re referring to old man He? He is somewhat suspicious.”

“Oh? How so?”

Immediately, Chen Mobai widened his eyes and leaned in closer to Lu Shu. “His team has too high a survival rate. Although I just operate at the border market of Yun Meng Ze, I know that every team that enters typically suffers a 100/0 to 20% casualty rate. However, his team can generally return completely intact, which I find very peculiar.”

After Lu Shu’s statement, Chen Mobai started to ponder the reasons behind it. There were only two explanations if almost everyone in the team could return safely.

First, they did not go beyond their capabilities; second, the overall cultivation level of the team was high, their preparations were adequate, and the team coordinated well to handle various emergencies.

After hearing his analysis, Lu Shu shook his head, presenting a chilling possibility.

“Perhaps this team was purposely created to establish a good reputation to attract outsiders to join.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was reminded of the time when he first entered the Water Mansion. An old man and a young man who were supposed to cooperate attacked each other when it came to distribution of the spoils. He shuddered at the recollection.

No, he needed to be more cautious.

After thanking Lu Shu, the latter proceeded to inform him about various things to be aware of when going to Yun Meng Ze. He also gave Chen Mobai a small biography.

“Record of the Descent of the Dragon in Yunmeng River by True Monarch Yi Yuan”

This palm-sized book was a tale of a legend in the Cultivation world that Lu Shu used to pass the time while peddling. Having finished it, he casually gave it to Chen Mobai, who thanked him before pocketing the book.

By the way, Brother Lu, do you know of anyone else in the Fang Market who practices the ‘Blackwater Cultivation1 technique?”

Chen Mobai asked another critical question.

In this Eastern Wasteland, where people value courage and aggressiveness, cultivators generally need to practice a fair number of techniques for self-protection. If anyone has practiced the ‘Blackwater Cultivation’ to the later stages of Qi Cultivation, they should have refined some Dark Water within them.

There are many since the Cultivation Technique originates from the Five Elements Sect of the Water Vein. It’s complete and orderly system. However, lone cultivators who practice this technique would undoubtedly have to join the Five Elements Sect if they wish to establish their foundation. It is a way for these dominant sects of the Eastern Wilderness to control the lone cultivators.” This Dark Water you speak of, I do have an impression. I have seen cultivators of the Five Elements Sect use it in Yun Meng Ze. However, I am unsure about whether it can be traded.”

“Right, aren’t there stores opened by the Five Elements Sect in the market? You can ask them.”

Lu Shu’s words reminded Chen Mobai, and he hurriedly excused himself and headed towards the large shops in the market main street with enthusiasm.

The Five Elements Sect is one of the powers that rule over Southstream Market. They own five shops here, each selling Spirit Stone Gold, Medicinal Pills and Spirit Grass, Talismans, Magic Artifacts, Formations. They have vast resources and robust strength.

Chen Mobai went to the shop that sold Medicinal Pills and Spirit Grass.

“Dear customer, regarding the Dark Water you mentioned, indeed our sect does have it available for exchange. However, our shop doesn’t have it in stock, I’m sorry.”

The Shopkeeper of the Medicinal Pill and Spirit Grass store was a middle-aged man at the Qi Cultivation level of six. He was not arrogant like the people from the major sects. After listening to Chen Mobai, he looked apologetic.

“Shopkeeper, could you bring in stocks from your sect’s headquarters?”

Chen Mobai asked again, only to be met with the shopkeeper’s shake of the head.

“Customer, we don’t have the authority to call for stocks. Everything sold in the market is surplus from our sect’s stores, which is then passed to us to handle. This Dark Water is generally only used by people from the Water Vein, and any surplus will only be taken to the market in Yun Meng Ze.”

After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Chen Mobai understood that he needed to go to Yun Meng Ze regardless.

However, he definitely could not join He Qun’s team.

Before leaving, he asked the Five Elements Sect about the price of this Dark Water. It was not cheap, priced at 10 Spirit Stones a bottle. This was the internal price. If it were sold in the market outside the Sect, it would cost at least 15 Spirit Stones.

“Thank you, Shopkeeper.”

After obtaining the information he wanted, Chen Mobai found He Qun at his stall and told him he changed his mind about joining his team to hunt Cold Snakes in Yun Meng Ze due to a sudden matter. Upon hearing this, He Qun frowned but said nothing.

Chen Mobai did not mind his reaction. Following Lu Shu’s instructions, he found a caravanning team in the Market that offered rides on Spirit Camels.

There were three ways to reach Yun Meng Ze.

The first is to walk; the second is to join one of these caravanning teams; the third is to pay Spirit Stones to use a Teleportation Array, which costs 10 Spirit Stones per use..
