Chapter 16 Becoming a Demonic Cultivator
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
My own empty island, in a secret room.
Ji Yun sat cross-legged on the futon, his hands forming a hand seal, his aura quite strange.
He was inside the secret chamber, but his consciousness transcended the world, reaching a mysterious and unpredictable realm.
He sat cross-legged on the cloud platform in the secret realm, concentrating on the towering, ten-thousand-foot-tall true form before him.
And that original form.
It was himself.
Now, this original form, which looks exactly like him, is gradually growing a third eye between his two eyes.
The origin of the "Supreme Response Method" is mysterious, completely different from conventional cultivation methods, and its cultivation method is also vastly different.
Simply visualize and sense it.
This will hone your mind, consciousness, and spirit.
Furthermore, the improvement of consciousness and spiritual power will enhance cultivation, directly nourishing the physical body.
This state cannot be maintained for long.
It needs to be constantly maintained with spiritual energy.
As long as he has enough resources for cultivation and his spiritual energy is inexhaustible, he can continue to meditate and cultivate.
Much later.
Ji Yun slowly opened her eyes.
I subconsciously looked to my side.
The spirit sand was exhausted, there were no Qi-replenishing pills left, and the spirit rice had long been consumed.
"Resources have run out again."
"Cultivation is truly not easy."
Ji Yun sighed softly, got up and walked to the side, took out a Taoist robe and changed into it.
Look at the bronze mirror in front of you.
In this life, he was born with a handsome face. Because he was young, his face was still somewhat delicate. Wearing a white Taoist robe and a long sword hanging at his waist, he looked like an immortal.
Furthermore, he practiced the "Taishang Ganying Fa" (a method of spiritual response).
A spiritual aura flowed between his brows and eyes, gradually gathering into a strange phenomenon that reflected the true nature of the viewer.
It varies from person to person and is constantly changing.
Those with impure intentions will feel uneasy upon seeing this.
Those who appreciate it will find it even more refreshing and pleasing to the eye.
Those with lofty ambitions will find themselves drawn to this.
However, his cultivation level is still shallow, this strange phenomenon has not yet been formed, and the power of his mind-illuminating ability is also extremely weak.
We have to wait until after the foundation is established.
Only then can this anomaly be fully revealed.
"Time to go out again."
"Let's go to the gravel area again."
Ji Yun turned her head to look to the side.
Li Meier sat cross-legged on the futon beside her, cultivating. She had already refined the two souls and two portions of essence blood.
Her cultivation level has improved.
His aura was even more eerie.
This Corpse Puppet Demon Art also has no aptitude restrictions; as long as there are enough immortal materials, there are no bottlenecks, and one can smoothly break through realms.
But rare and precious materials are hard to come by.
It must be obtained from monks.
"The environment of the Night Sea is unique. If cultivators wish to pursue the Great Dao, they must make use of the limited resources at their disposal to cultivate a path to immortality for themselves."
"For example, when cultivating spiritual plants, as long as you invest in them, you can expect them to bloom and bear fruit."
"Li Meier is one of them."
"Those talents are useless to me, but I can nurture them for her, and they will be a help in the future."
Ji Yun's heart stirred slightly.
Li Meier immediately sensed something, opened her beautiful eyes, raised her head slightly, and looked at Ji Yun through the black veil in front of her eyes.
"It's stifling to stay here for too long."
"Go out for some fresh air."
Go change your clothes.
Ji Yun gave Li Meier the order, and then walked to the shelf at the back of the hall.
The secret room has been furnished, no longer as bare as it was before.
The shelves are filled with a dazzling array of items.
The three first-tier mid-grade magic artifacts, which were stolen, were placed in an easily accessible position on the lower level.
The self-drawn first-tier mid-grade talismans were categorized and placed in more than a dozen wooden boxes.
The rare and precious items that were scavenged from the market and came from the upper reaches of the night sea were also categorized and displayed on the shelves.
It contains tree roots, stubborn rocks, ancient jade, etc.
Each piece is supported by a wooden stand and displayed as an ornament, which adds a touch of ancient charm and elegance to the secret room.
"The Sky Island has been completely transformed and is now vastly different from what it was before."
"Every item here."
"These are things that can't be shown to others."
Ji Yun pondered for a moment and realized that he needed to pay more attention to strengthening the formation.
A sacred tree was planted on the island, and a secret chamber was hidden underground.
Inside, there's a female corpse puppet and all this night sea trash.
Regardless of their monetary value, some of these items could lead to death simply by being exposed to the light.
This even attracted the attention of those at higher levels.
It must be completely covered up.
"Recently, the Zhao family has indeed extended an olive branch, inviting me to participate in trade fairs and talisman master gatherings on multiple occasions."
"They also said there would be a celebration banquet next month."
"I don't know what we're celebrating."
Ji Yun rubbed his temples, politely declining all these offers.
Let's postpone it for now.
Now is the time to place the bets. The more chips he has and the better his talent is, the better his treatment will be.
Ideally, we should achieve a breakthrough this year.
At eighteen, at the second level of Qi Refining, even without marrying into the family, he's old enough to go to the third level of the Night Sea and become a retainer of the Zhao family.
Li Meier was like that.
She was twenty-five years old, at the second level of Qi Refining, but she was a virgin and did not marry into the Hu family; she only served as a retainer in the Hu family.
Monks are neither male nor female.
Everyone should know how to wait for the right price.
They go to whoever offers the highest price. If their family becomes a burden afterward, they can simply walk away and go to the next house.
The Zhao family is a good choice.
Everything is satisfactory.
Let's leave this path for now, and let Zhao family talisman masters continue as they are. We'll discuss the price in detail after the breakthrough.
……
late at night.
The two left the island again.
Head to the Spider Nest's gravel area.
Now that the two of them are working together, the risks of going out for some fresh air are low, and the benefits are extremely high.
In comparison, drawing ordinary talismans is a complete waste of time and a squandering of life.
Ji Yun has made her decision.
I will not draw any low-grade talismans for the time being.
After a while, once the sales channels are established, let's start drawing mid-grade talismans.
He has an extremely high success rate in drawing mid-grade first-tier talismans, almost guaranteed to succeed.
However, the value of a single mid-grade talisman is equivalent to that of more than a dozen low-grade talismans.
I draw ten pictures a day and sell them.
The daily income is three to five hundred catties of spirit sand.
Only in this way can the benefits for all parties involved in drawing the talisman outweigh the benefits of "coming out for some fresh air".
Before that.
He decided to temporarily change careers.
I'll be a thief for a while.
Whenever I run out of cultivation resources, I come to the gravel belt to get some fresh air and collect some spirit sand to take back for secluded cultivation.
"The demonic cultivator who searched souls last time."
"We have obtained a lot of intelligence."
"This place is indeed a market for demonic cultivators; many demonic cultivators from the surrounding area come here to trade."
"The market owner's family is a demonic sect called the Hundred Netherworld Sect. This sect has disciples stationed in the market year-round, selecting disciples to join the sect."
"But the location of the sect is unknown, and ordinary independent cultivators in the market cannot find out."
Ji Yun carefully recalled the events along the way.
This demonic cultivator market is not as large as Zhao Family Market, but it still attracts just as many independent cultivators.
Demonic cultivators are mostly eccentric and unconventional.
They were not familiar with each other.
He and Li Meier could pose as rogue cultivators of the demonic path, enter the market to sell stolen goods, and sell first-tier mid-grade talismans.
Of course, it's not an act.
The two of them were actually demonic cultivators; from their actions to their cultivation methods, they were pure demonic cultivators.
"Let's take a stroll through the market today."
"Who knows, we might find some bargains here too."
Ji Yun made a hand seal and rode his sword straight into the depths of the night sea.
While it is safe to be a righteous cultivator in the Righteous Path Market, it is much safer to be a demonic cultivator in the Demonic Cultivator Market.
In his previous life, he was able to fight his way out of the Demonic Sect entirely thanks to the selfless dedication of the demonic cultivators around him.
This time, we'll first go to the Demon Cultivator Market to find out what the local demon cultivators are really capable of.
