Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Chapter 503: Chapter 106: Earth Element Spleen Temple!

Ning Zhuo returned to Canglin Immortal City.

However, he didn’t rush to the Complete Book Pavilion but first visited the Big Market, the small market, and the Black Market.

There, he selectively sold off some of the treasures he had on hand.

For example, he sold two hundred Mist Embroidery Orchids. Seeing that the price couldn’t be raised any further, he decisively withdrew early.

One hundred and eighty Smog Stones, all sold.

Initially, Ning Zhuo had planned to pair this material with the Weather Balloon·Ice Crystal Snow. Now, it seemed that even though the Weather Balloon·Ice Crystal Snow had enhanced some combat power, it was hard to be effective in the current large-scale war facing Golden Cores, Nascent Souls, or even Divinity Transformation.

...

Moreover, at this moment, Ning Zhuo was extremely short on time and energy. There was no time to invest in such minor improvements.

Luckily, he encountered a cultivator who urgently needed Smog Stones to make Spirit Food, so he sold them all at a relatively high price.

Sixty drops of Purple Qi Morning Dew were quickly sold out.

After all, many cultivators used Purple Qi for cultivation.

Both inside and outside Canglin Immortal City, many cultivators gathered, and the resources consumed in their daily cultivation were an immense number.

Purple Qi Morning Dew, though not easy to collect and not very precious, sold out easily but didn’t fetch a high price.

Ning Zhuo also sold more than half of the Heavy Thunder Beetles, mainly to cultivators from the Fire Cloud Camp. The Fire Cloud Camp excelled in Fire Techniques, but since ancient times, thunder and fire have been inseparable, so using Heavy Thunder Beetles wasn’t unusual.

This part fetched a relatively high price.

The cultivators from the Fire Cloud Camp were very straightforward; they didn’t bargain but directly agreed to Ning Zhuo’s price. It was evident that the military funds of the Fire Cloud Camp were relatively ample.

Inspired by this, Ning Zhuo immediately changed his selling strategy.

He proactively marketed to other camps. No one bought the Heavy Thunder Beetles, but all camps expressed great interest in Heavenly Dew.

After all, Ning Zhuo’s Heavenly Dew could be used to make healing Elixir Pills. With a big battle imminent, having more of these healing medicines was always beneficial.

In the end, Ning Zhuo sold all of his Heavenly Dew in batches to several camps, with the White Jade Camp being the biggest customer.

Ning Zhuo calculated that the income from selling the treasures just wasn’t enough.

He continued to hide his identity and discreetly sold one or two pieces of treasure from the Old Monster in Stone on the Black Market.

Materials of the Nascent Soul Level were considered high-level goods, and the quality of the treasures from Ning Zhuo was absolutely outstanding. The moment they were revealed, they attracted the attention of others.

In the end, these two pieces of Stone Treasure fetched a high price.

After such preparations, Ning Zhuo, with a large amount of Spirit Food, finally rushed to the Complete Book Pavilion.

The Complete Book Pavilion was a super sect spread across many Cultivation Kingdoms.

Because it adhered to neutrality, cultivators from the Righteous Path, Demon Path, and Evil Path all had continuous, strong demand for cultivation techniques, making the Complete Book Pavilion have a wide audience. Whether it was the lawful or unlawful or even the gray industries, there was space for survival.

Therefore, the scale of the Complete Book Pavilion was enormous, far surpassing sects like the Soul Devouring Sect and the Bukong Sect.

Within Canglin Immortal City, there was a branch of the Complete Book Pavilion.

In broad daylight, Ning Zhuo donned a set of black clothes, covered his face, wore a hood, and used spells and magic artifacts to disguise himself.

He slowly stepped into the Complete Book Pavilion, his voice hoarse, “Shopkeeper, bring me a Demon Path Cultivation Method for a Blood Sacrifice.”

On the first floor, several cultivators were selecting techniques. Hearing this, they immediately turned around and cast their looks.

“A man of the Demon Path!”

“How unlucky.”

“Alas, ever since Canglin Immortal City became the rear base for the large army of Liangzhu Country, establishing and training new soldiers, such figures from the Evil Path and Demon Paths have emerged endlessly, making the public order much worse.”

“When did people from the Demon Path ever have the audacity to openly enter the Immortal Cities and brazenly purchase Demon Path Cultivation Methods?”

Many cultivators shook their heads secretly.

Cultivators of the Demon Path generally needed to hide their identities and conceal themselves when moving around within the Immortal Cities.

This was because many were on wanted lists, their spitting images posted at city gates or on bulletin boards.

Due to the Thousand Peak Forest War, Canglin Immortal City was in a special period.

Ning Zhuo did this out of necessity.

He couldn’t possibly use his real face to purchase Demon Path Cultivation Methods. It would be of no benefit to himself or the Ning Family.

The clerk of the Complete Book Pavilion, full of caution, approached Ning Zhuo, bowing and scraping, a smile plastered on his face: “This way, sir.”

The Complete Book Pavilion, true to its name, also sold Demon Path Cultivation Methods.

The clerk led Ning Zhuo into a secret room, and soon, a manager came to receive Ning Zhuo and inquired about specific requirements for the Demon Skill.

Ning Zhuo specified his need for a technique that required blood sacrifices of the flesh.

The manager waited quietly for several breaths, not hearing anything further, became puzzled and asked, “Sir, there are many Demon Skills for blood sacrifices of the flesh, but they serve different purposes. Some might greatly increase escape techniques, while others might drastically increase combat power. Which kind of power do you need?”

Ning Zhuo didn’t care about those details, “I just need one that involves sacrificing the flesh, regardless of its purpose. What options are there?”

The manager’s heart skipped a beat, and his wariness grew stronger.

The man in black only sought blood sacrifice, regardless of its application. It felt as if he was up to something, possibly plotting mass slaughter or destruction of evidence.

But business still had to be done.

The manager took a deep breath, rallied his Divine Sense to briefly peruse the Jade Scroll Record, and after some investigation had an answer, then responded to Ning Zhuo.

There were many Demon Skills for blood sacrifices of the body.

The most classic was the Blood Demon Disintegration Technique. In the Complete Book Pavilion, it was divided into the Blood Demon Disintegration Small Method and the main technique, with clear differences in power. While the Small Method was less powerful, it only disintegrated part of the body, resulting in fewer side effects.
