Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 339 The Dragon Staff Meets Zhou Yuantong Again

The streets were bustling with people, like a marketplace for ordinary people.

Where it enters the eye.

The pedestrians were surrounded by shimmering spiritual light and surging blood energy like smoke, with innate nine-aperture beings almost everywhere.

You could hit two Foundation Establishment cultivators with just a random brick.

The avatar 'Sun Wukong' straightened his robes and slowly walked into a deep alley.

"Token!"

"Give!"

As Pei Jingque said, they only check the tokens here, not verify the identity of the token holder.

It doesn't matter if they are demonic cultivators.

If you can sneak in, then you've got the skills.

After walking a short distance, Wukong glanced at the stalls and strolled into a shop.

"Guest sir."

Upon noticing the difference in his aura, the shopkeeper, who was resting at the time, personally came to greet him.

Is there anything you'd like to buy or sell?

"Our shop is managed by the Immortal Alliance. The prices are fair, and the products are absolutely genuine."

The real thing is that the product is genuine and not adulterated.

Fair prices are not necessarily true.

"Are there any pills that can extend the lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator and increase their cultivation level?" Zhu Ju asked in a low voice.
"If we have it, the price is negotiable!"

"You jest, sir," the innkeeper said, shaking his head.

"We have plenty of spiritual medicines to aid cultivation, but we don't have anything that directly increases cultivation level."

"As for extending lifespan..."

"The Immortal Alliance does possess such treasures, but they are only available for exchange using merit points and are never sold to outsiders."

Zhu Ju frowned.

Then he nodded slowly.

This is easy to understand; things that increase cultivation level and extend lifespan have always been in short supply.

Even if the Immortal Alliance were to take something out, it would strictly control it. If it were exchanged for merit points, it could prevent it from being given to outsiders.

What's more.

When distributing merits, the Immortal Alliance will naturally favor its own people.

Even if they do the same thing, the disciples of Xuanqing Sect will definitely gain more merit than those of Mingxu Sect.

"Escape talisman, defensive magic treasure, and elixir of immortality..."

Zhu Ju spoke:
"Do you have?"

"Uh..." The shopkeeper's throat moved, he paused for a moment, then gestured with his hand:

"Fellow Daoist, please go upstairs!"

"please!"

The first floor is mainly for Qi Refining cultivators, the second floor is for Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the most valuable items are on the third and fourth floors.

Zhu Ju paused on the second floor, glanced at the objects in the room, and gently shook his head.

third floor.

Tables were set up in the room, each with a single item on it.

The protective aura firmly locks the goods in place, and any evil thoughts that arise will trigger an alarm from the array.

This place is connected to the market's grand formation, so even a demonic Golden Core cultivator wouldn't be able to steal anything.

"The magic weapon, the Heavenly Wolf Ring, contains the souls of six bloodthirsty demonic wolves. When summoned, it is comparable to six cultivators at the Nine Aperture Perfection stage who are unafraid of death. Moreover, this treasure is excellent in both offense and defense, making it extremely cost-effective."

The shopkeeper pointed to one of the magical treasures, and seeing that Wukong had no reaction, he pondered for a moment, then swept over several other magical treasures and said:

"Five Dragon Whip!"

"It is forged from the tendons of a third-tier poisonous dragon. Even a Golden Core cultivator would feel pain from its strike. It can also create countless afterimages and control water flow. Its potent poison is fatal to Foundation Establishment cultivators. It is a mid-grade magic weapon."

Mid-grade magic weapon!

Zhu Ju became interested:

Do you have any high-grade magic treasures?

"Fellow Daoist..." The shopkeeper sighed speechlessly.
"Top-grade magic treasures are either in the hands of Golden Core Grandmasters or in the hands of the core Dao Foundation cultivators of the Six Demonic Sects. Even if they fall into the hands of the Immortal Alliance, they would never be sold so easily."

"We'd better be realistic."

"Heh..." Zhu Ju chuckled.
What kinds of mid-grade magic weapons are available?

The value of a mid-grade magic weapon differs greatly from that of a low-grade magic weapon; ten low-grade magic weapons may not even equal the value of one mid-grade magic weapon.

The same applies to power.

Low-grade magic weapons are harmless toys to third-tier demonic beasts and Golden Core masters.

And mid-grade magic treasures.

Yet it can still harm such beings.

Zhu Ju and Pei Jingque killed the heavily injured Rock Armored Crocodile because they had a mid-grade magic weapon.

"Please wait a moment, sir!"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he led him into a quiet room, where he soon presented several items one by one.

He opened a brocade box, inside which was a round, bright pearl the size of a quail egg.

"The Primordial Heavenly Pearl is a mid-grade magic treasure. It is a primordial mystery treasure that can double the power of a Dao Foundation cultivator's soul. If one is familiar with certain special techniques, one can even use it to cultivate a second incarnation."

Second Incarnation!

Zhu Ju's heart moved.

This is recorded in the Mingxu Sect's classic texts and sword intent inheritance, but he does not understand the method of "Do Not Think".

"nice one!"

He sighed softly and shook his head helplessly:
"pity!"

The shopkeeper smiled upon hearing this, saying that the method of cultivating a second incarnation was already rare, so it was normal that he didn't know how.

"Abi Throne."

Pointing to the second item, his expression turned serious:
"This item comes from a Golden Core Grandmaster of the Netherworld Sect. Its malevolent aura is astonishing. After being refined, it can generate tens of thousands of ghost soldiers. Moreover, it seems to have other mysteries, but no one knows what they are."

"This treasure is incredibly powerful, in some ways no less than a high-grade magic weapon. However, without a strong primordial spirit, it is easy to suffer from qi deviation, so one must be cautious."

"Going astray in cultivation?" Zhu Ju shook his head:
"Forget it, I'm not interested in demonic artifacts."

"Well……"

"what is this?"

The object he was pointing to was a short stick about three feet long, completely black, like someone's firewood stick.

Its material resembled both iron and wood, and even with his enhanced divine eye, he couldn't see through it for a while.

"This is a real treasure!"

The shopkeeper smiled mysteriously and said:
"Have you ever heard of the Jade Void Sect, once the number one immortal sect in the world?"

"..." Zhu Ju's expression was strange:
"heard about it."

I've heard so much about it!
The Jade Void Sect was separated from the Bright Void Sect, and the Yuanxin Technique he cultivates is also a legacy of the Jade Void Sect.

However, the Jade Void Sect has only been destroyed for a few hundred years, so few people have heard of it now?
"Protective items are categorized into first-tier magic artifacts, second-tier magic treasures, and third-tier innate spiritual artifacts. Do you know what the fourth tier is?"

"what?"

"A pure Yang spiritual treasure!"

The shopkeeper's face turned solemn:

"It is said that the vast universe contains countless worlds, and each world can only give birth to one pure Yang spiritual treasure. The Jade Void Sect has crossed many worlds and seized the world's origin to refine several pure Yang spiritual treasures."

“This…” Zhu Ju stroked his chin:

"Isn't that going too far?"

"That's the legend; we can't know for sure if it's true or not." The shopkeeper, regaining his composure, continued:
"It is said that the Jade Void Sect possesses a pure Yang spiritual treasure called the Creation Gourd, which has the power of creation!"

"Fellow Daoist!" Zhu Ju sighed helplessly.
"What does this have to do with this object?"

"We'll be there soon." The shopkeeper waved his hand calmly.
"That Creation Gourd couldn't have appeared out of thin air; it grew on the Creation Vine. This thing is the Creation Immortal Vine!"

Beneath the robes were Zhu Juna's eyes, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

"Fellow Taoist, don't you believe it?"

The shopkeeper spoke with great confidence:
"This thing is indestructible. Even a high-grade magic weapon cannot damage it in the slightest. It also contains a trace of spiritual energy. However, even when it is nourished by innate spiritual milk, it only has a slight reaction, which shows that its foundation is amazing."

"Furthermore, given that it is made of wood, it is most likely transformed from that Creation Immortal Vine!"

"Alright!" Zhu Ju nodded.
"Even if it is the Immortal Vine of Creation, why has it fallen to this state?"

The Creation Gourd is a pure Yang spiritual treasure, so how could anything that nurtures a pure Yang spiritual treasure be an ordinary item?

"Sir, you are unaware of the following."

The shopkeeper said:
"When the Creation Gourd is born, it absorbs the spiritual energy of the surrounding area. The Creation Immortal Vine will not let it go either. Therefore, the spiritual energy inside this treasure is completely gone, leaving only its indestructible resilience."

“Hmm…” “A Golden Core Grandmaster once tried to refine it, but even the alchemical fire had no effect on it.”

"Moreover, this object may not look big, but it is actually as heavy as a mountain. Even ordinary Golden Core cultivators would have difficulty holding it."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened.

But Zhu Ju easily picked up the short stick with one hand and even swung it back and forth a few times.

The simple action produced a deep, rumbling sound, causing the entire shop to sway gently.

"Senior...Senior."

The shopkeeper's face was pale, and sweat was beading on his forehead.

"Please forgive me, senior."

Golden elixir!

Only a Grandmaster of the Golden Core stage could wield this object so easily.

"good."

Zhu Ju stopped what he was doing and asked thoughtfully:
"What's it called?"

"The Dragon Cudgel." The shopkeeper, drenched in sweat, chuckled dryly.
"What I just said was said by the previous owner of this item. As for whether it is true or not... I don't know."

"Hmph!" Zhu Ju snorted.
"The Immortal Vine of Creation..."

"If it were truly the legendary thing, it wouldn't have fallen to this state. However, this item suits my taste quite well."

"Boom!"

With a wave of his hand, a heavy storage bag landed on the table.

"Give me an estimate!"

the other side.

While his avatar went to the trade fair to shop, Zhu Ju's true body arrived at a corner of the market.

This is a place for injured righteous cultivators to recuperate.

Birds are singing and flowers are fragrant.

Quiet and peaceful.

Isolated from the world.

"squeak……"

Zhu Ju pushed open the courtyard gate and saw a beautiful figure standing under the spirit vine, tending to the flowers and plants.

"Senior Sister Dong!"

He clasped his hands and said:
"You're looking for me."

"Ah."

Dong Yuelan turned around at the sound, a smile on her face:

"long time no see."

Ok?
Zhu Ju frowned slightly.

The other person was calm and smiling, with a pair of bright, sparkling eyes, showing no sadness at the destruction of their sect.

strangeness.

Not only did his expression seem strange, but even his greetings seemed off.

Zhu Ju's thoughts raced, but he remained calm and respectfully cupped his hands in greeting.
"I heard that the sect leader behind the Hundred Flowers Sect's headquarters also tragically perished. Senior Sister Dong, please accept my condolences."

"Everyone has to die." Dong Yuelan clapped her hands gently, put down the medicine shovel in her hand, and walked slowly over:

"Even the legendary immortals are not immortal, so why bother with them?"

"sit!"

She gestured and picked up the teapot to pour tea.

"Senior sister has a very open mind."

Zhu Ju nodded, his gaze lingering on the other person, a hint of dazedness in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Dong Yuelan gently stroked her hair.

Why are you looking at me like that?

"I feel..." Zhu Ju said slowly.

"Very familiar."

Dong Yuelan has delicate features and a pretty face, but her sharp eyebrows give her a sharp and assertive look.

And now.

The person is still the same person, and the appearance is still the same.

But the slightly drooping eyebrows, the rounded eyes, and the subtle changes in the cheeks are all different from before.

It's like he's become a completely different person.

become……

"Yuan Tong!"

Zhu Ju's expression was complicated:

"It's you?"

"..." Dong Yuelan, or rather Zhou Yuantong, pursed her lips slightly and slowly sat down opposite her:

"After all, we've been husband and wife for so many years, I never thought I could hide this from you."

"My lord, we have finally met again."

She slowly raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with affection, but she was looking at someone else's face, which seemed extremely strange.

"What did you do to her?" Zhu Ju frowned.
"puppet?"

Zhou Yuantong was able to possess Dong Yuelan's body without showing any abnormality in his outward appearance.

To know.

Dong Yuelan is a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!
Even for a fake Core Formation cultivator or a Grandmaster of the Golden Core stage, it would be extremely difficult to control one person so perfectly.

"She's fine."

Zhou Yuantong gently shook her head:
“I used a secret method to plant a seed of inner demon in her primordial spirit. At crucial moments, it can control her physical body or create some false memories, without causing any harm to her.”

"My lord should know very well that this is a specialty of the Hehuan Sect."

Zhu Ju squinted.

The Hehuan School has similar methods, but achieving this level is by no means easy.

"Thanks to my husband."

Zhou Yuantong smiled slightly:
"It is because of you that I have comprehended the Supreme Method of Forgetting Emotions, which allows me to bewitch people's minds even before I have achieved the Golden Elixir."

"But you're not bad either, my husband."

Her beautiful eyes smiled as she said:
"At the mid-stage of the Dao Foundation realm, you have already comprehended the divine power of Sword Qi Thunder Sound. Moreover, based on my understanding of you, you must have other methods, which may even be more powerful than Sword Qi Thunder Sound. That is why I dare not show myself in front of you."

"after all……"

"I really wanted to kill you back then."

"..." Zhu Ju's eyes flickered:
"Let bygones be bygones. We were forced into this situation and had no other choice."

"Hehe..." Zhou Yuantong giggled:

“I knew you wouldn’t care, my husband.”

"The art of controlling the seven emotions and six desires... If you can teach me such a skill, how could I be bound by love and affection?"

"I can not!"

She looked up at the sky and murmured:
“Originally, this body was supposed to be used as a furnace for a pseudo-core cultivator, since it is extremely rare for a mid-stage Dao Foundation cultivator to have a pure Yin body. But because she knows you, I had to let her go.”

Zhu Ju squinted.

He and Zhou Yuantong were truly in love back then.

But after being separated for decades, or even nearly a century, the other person's personality would probably have changed long ago.

The return of Dong Yuelan from Zhou Yuantongfang is probably not so simple; otherwise, why would she resort to secret methods to plant a demonic seed?

"correct."

Looking down, Zhou Yuantong smiled.
"The Hehuan Sect has a business that provides suitable furnaces for people from different sects and factions."

“They provide the spirit stones, and we are responsible for kidnapping people. I am now the second person in charge of this business.”

"Oh!" Zhu Ju nodded:
"Congratulations……"

Before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed.

"Someone has taken a liking to someone from the Mingxu Sect?"

"Not bad." Zhou Yuantong nodded.

"The sect leader of Mingxu Sect, Pei Jingque, has taken a life-snatching pill and is not a virgin, so no one is interested in him."

"Liu Huang'er is already pregnant, so unless she is used to refine the Mother-Child Demon, she has no value."

"But Shui Qianning and Xi Chen are both very valuable."

"Shh!"

Before she could finish speaking, Zhu Ju had already soared into the sky, heading straight for Mingxuzong's residence in the market.
