Chapter 201: Dangerous Grounds of the Cultivation World (1/2)

Ultimately, when Cheng Yu exited from Qiongyu Pavilion, he only bought the pearl and an ordinary low-grade treasured longsword. Both items had cost a total of 2800 low-grade spiritual stones.

The black-ice sword was decent, but the price Zhang Shou was asking for was too high. Even though he had ultimately decreased it to 5500, Cheng Yu still could not afford it. Cheng Yu could have used the pills on him to exchange for the remaining amount, but with the old man around, he didn’t want to expose himself too much. After all, their relationship could not be counted as close yet and Cheng Yu did not have much understanding towards him.

In the Cultivation World, one must not place his trust with others so easily. Once a party has something the other party wants, the other party would think of ways to obtain it by any means. Therefore, Cheng Yu felt that it would be better for him to stay low-key. A low-grade treasured weapon was sufficient for Cheng Yu to display his strength. At least it wouldn’t be broken because it was not able to withstand Cheng Yu’s strength.

“Kid, I truly couldn’t tell that you are actually quite rich. At the edge of this Cultivation World, a Foundation Establishment Realm was able to take out thousands of spiritual stones is not something easy. Aren’t you afraid that I would steal?” When the duo walked out from Qiongyu Pavilion, the sloppy old man looked at Cheng Yu and smiled.

“Haha, old man, you might be quite shameless, but I don’t believe that you would covet my miserly spiritual stones,” Cheng Yu said without any worries. Compared to the thousands of spiritual stones on him, Cheng Yu was more worried about his Pill Master identity being exposed. Even though spending nearly 3000 spiritual stones in a sitting had caused Cheng Yu’s heart to feel pain, it was merely worldly possessions.

“Haha. This is hard to say. I always like to steal whatever I see. Perhaps, I would take a fancy to your spiritual stones,” The old man said with a face filled with evil intentions, looking quite wretched. Cheng Yu ignored him and went to buy some wine and seasoning before going out of Tianhai City. Now that he had lured Kunlun into his trap, Cheng Yu did not wish to become Kunlun’s prey. He felt that it would be better to leave the territory of Kunlun as soon as possible.

“Old man, do you know where I could find a large amount of spiritual stones in the Cultivation World?” Cheng Yu remembered that he still needed to buy blacksmithing techniques, so he knew that he should look for some spiritual stones first.

“Large amount of spiritual stones? Very easy, you can just casually look for a few big sects, charge in and eliminate them. It would be very easy for you to obtain their spiritual vein,” The old man flew beside Cheng Yu and said objectively.

“Old man, I am being serious,” When Cheng Yu saw the old man was still joking with him, he replied ill-mannaredly.

“I am also being very serious. Spiritual stones are not only the currency of the Cultivation World, they are also one of the important items for cultivation. Do you think that with just your strength, you would be able to find so many of them? If so, wouldn’t they all be found by the big sects already? Why would there still be any left over for you to take?” Cheng Yu was once again taken as a fool by the old man.

“Er…” This time, Cheng Yu was really speechless. Because what the old man said was true. If he was able to locate a large amount of spiritual stones, wouldn’t those big sects also be able to do it? “Then there should at least be some ownerless spiritual veins, right? Can you tell me where I can find them? I will think of ideas to make it mine.”

The old man’s words were right, but the Cultivation World was so big, so there should be some places that produce spiritual stones. It’s just that these places were usually filled with danger. But one of the reasons why Cheng Yu came to the Cultivation World was to find a spiritual vein. Therefore, Cheng Yu could only look for it in those dangerous places.

“Kid, it’s not that I am looking down on you. Even if there’s a spiritual vein in front of you now, you would also not be able to collect it,” When the old man saw Cheng Yu’s ambition was so big, wanting to go to the wilds to seek spiritual veins, the old man said with extreme disdain.

“Oi! Old man, I only wanted you to tell me where I can find them. You just need to tell me the location. Why bother if I would be able to collect them or not?” When Cheng Yu saw the old man kept on looking down on him, he said discontentedly.

“Taking my kindness for granted. I see that your aptitude is pretty decent, that’s why I am reminding you. If anyone were to obtain a spiritual vein, it would be a large fortune. Don’t even talk about whether you could find it, but so what if you could find it? With your Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation, would you be able to keep it? Even if you collect it, you wouldn’t be able to keep it. With your current cultivation, it would be better off for you to think about how to promote your strength and not think about those useless things,” The old man said ill-manneredly.

In the Cultivation World, experts were as plentiful as clouds. A small Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation could not even be counted as anything. Just an ordinary Golden Core Realm expert would be able to pinch a group of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators to death. Much less those even more powerful cultivators. Cheng Yu’s aptitude was pretty decent and he was a good seedling. The old man wished that Cheng Yu would focus on cultivating and not seek for fortunes. After all, Cheng Yu’s strength was not unrivalled.

“Old man, don’t talk about those useless stuff. Just tell me where I can find spiritual veins,” Adding on his previous life, Cheng Yu had already been mingling around in the Cultivation World for ten thousands of years, so how could he possibly not know this? However, Cheng Yu could not wait any longer. Therefore, even if he might lose his life, Cheng Yu still needed to accomplish it. The old man saw Cheng Yu’s resolute eyes, and he was somewhat baffled. He had no idea why Cheng Yu must be so stubborn. As a cultivator, one must know how to weigh the pros and cons. After knowing that it was a worthless trip, he still wanted to do it. In the old man’s opinion, this was not heroic or brave, but was simply foolish.

“The Cultivation World is very big, so much that no one knows how big it is. But everyone knows that certain places contain lots of destiny. These dangerous places are called deathlands. These deathlands have a high likelihood of spiritual veins. The most well-known location would be Spiritual Region,” The old man sighed and said.
