Chapter 186 Howling Ghost Forest
"Fellow Taoist, if you ever need any secret information, you can always visit the Star Pavilion and I'll be sure to personally receive you."
Half an hour later, the shopkeeper of the Star Pavilion led Chu Wuyao to the exit of the shop and after the two exchanged a few more words, he watched her leave with a smile on his face.
The shopkeeper didn't expect that he would be so lucky and would meet such a generous customer today.
Although he could not keep the Magic Weapons and would have to hand them to his superior later, he was still bound to get a hefty commission out of this deal.
After he had stayed in the Middle Stage of the Shackles Realm for so long, he felt that his opportunity to break through had finally arrived.
While the old man was unable to hide his happy mood, a young man walked out of the shop and stood behind him.
This man looked to be in his early twenties and had an ordinary appearance, while his aura fluctuated, showing that he had just broken through the Middle Stage of the Qi Accumulation Realm.
"Master, do you want to...?", the young man raised his hand and made a cutting motion against his neck, and even though he didn't speak further, his intentions were clear.
Obviously, the wealth that Chu Wuyao had just shown made the young man quite greedy, and murderous intent arose within him.
He felt that such wealth should belong to him!
When the old man heard his disciple's suggestion, he couldn't help but turn his head and take a deep look at him.
"Master, didn't you see how many Spiritual Weapons she paid for just a few pieces of worthless information?"
"I'm afraid that she possesses at least a High-Grade Spiritual Weapon."
The young man thought that his master did not understand, so he hurriedly explained his purpose.@@novelbin@@
Although he could see that Chu Wuyao was also a Shackles Realm cultivator, is young man knew that his master was very powerful, and was lucky to obtain a Divine Weapon earlier in his life.
With such strength, he didn't believe that Chu Wuyao would be able to fight against him.
Unfortunately, just when he was imagining obtaining Chu Wuyao's wealth and breaking through the Shackles Realm, something that the young man never expected happened.
His master's expression turned serious, and then, under his shocked eyes, he raised his head and slapped him on the forehead.
"Bang!"
The young man's head immediately exploded, but before the blood could splatter and dye the ground, the old man waved his hands and cleaned it up.
Looking at the place where his disciple originally stood, the eyes of the originally kind old man were cold and emotionless.
"I didn't expect that the disciple I carefully raised would be so stupid."
"Can a person that easily takes out so many Magic Weapons be simple?", the shopkeeper thought and shook his head.
"She either belongs to a powerful force, or she possesses some kind of rare treasure."
"Regardless, there is no need for me to conflict with her over a few Magic Weapons...", he muttered, and he didn't feel any sadness about the death of his disciple.
Instead, he felt very lucky to have discovered his stupidity at this point.
Otherwise, judging from the previous scene, his disciple was bound to cause trouble sooner or later.
If he offended a powerful person, he would also bring disaster to him.
"But I have to find another apprentice to look after the Pavilion while I'm away."
"Let's just pick that mortal girl.", the shopkeeper thought and with his hands behind his back, he walked back into the ordinary-looking shop.

On the other side, Chu Wuyao didn't know that she had paid using a few Spiritual Weapons and had attracted the attention of a member of the Star Pavilion, much less cause the death of a young cultivator and help an immature young woman embark on cultivation.
This was partly because she had just returned from the Inheritance World and was a little unused to the atmosphere of the cultivation world, and partly because she had forgotten that most Shackles Realm cultivators didn't even have a single Spiritual Weapon.
After all, with her current strength, Magic Weapons at the level of Spiritual Weapons were completely worthless and would break if she were to use her full strength.
Even for Divine Weapons, it would take a High-Grade or a Divine Weapon with special uses to get in her eyes.
Otherwise, even Middle-Grade Divine Weapons were considered ordinary and could not improve her strength much.
Chu Wuyao held a memory crystal she had just traded in her hand and extending her thoughts, she digested the information imprinted on it. Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire
"Although the Howling Ghost Forest is one of the few resource-filled areas in the surrounding areas, not many powerful cultivators are willing to go in and explore."
"Apart from the dangers of the forest itself, this is because there is a strange power that prevents people from flying in the sky in the forest."
"This means that Shackles Realm cultivators are unwilling to go in, and only cultivators at the Qi Accumulation Realm go in from time to time."
"However, last week, there were some changes that attracted the attention of powerful cultivators."
According to the information recorded in the memory crystal, a young cultivator happened to chance upon the inheritance deep in the forest and was lucky to obtain a Middle-Grade Spiritual Weapon.
However, perhaps because he didn't know its value, that person sold the Magic Weapon to a shop in one of the surrounding cities and was noticed.
Later, people suppressed him, and using evil means, they learned about the inheritance, and thus the news spread.
"From the information that the Star Pavilion gathered, the owner of this inheritance was most likely at the Aspect Stage of the Awakening Realm and there is a chance that they had reached the Creation Stage."
Chu Wuyao had to admit that she was a little tempted when she heard this.
She knew very well that for a person with her combat power, she was very poor and couldn't compare to most cultivators at the Awakening Realm.
This was because she broke through very quickly, and her Magic Weapons and treasures were unable to keep up with her progress.
Of course, this was without counting the Godhead she obtained in the Inheritance World.
But she knew that she could not use her God Clone unless necessary, otherwise she would inevitably attract the attention of other powerful cultivators.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Wuyao weighed the pros and cons, and in the end, she decided to go and take a look.
She believed that with her means, even if there was any danger, she would be able to escape.
With that in mind, Chu Wuyao crushed the memory crystal, and then urged her Mana, increasing her speed and rushing towards the distance.
Inwardly, she couldn't help but miss the Inheritance World a little.
In the Inheritance World, she could use her God Clone to travel through space, but the space of the Cultivation World was many times stronger and made this impossible.
Let alone traveling through space, even making the space tremble was extremely hard to do with her current strength.

The Howling Ghost Forest was located at the border between the Sword Palace and the Dual Moon Sect and as long as one took a look at it, they would immediately realize why it was named this way.
The trees and plants that made up the forest were black and white and rustled strangely when hit by the wind, while the earth below was pitch black.
Not a single animal could be seen in the forest and the total silence made this place look eerie and terrifying, as if it was haunted by ghosts.
Of course, this atmosphere that would make most ordinary people afraid didn't affect cultivators, who not only did not avoid this place but rushed towards it, having heard that an inheritance had appeared.
Among this group of people was Chu Wuyao, who was unwilling to attract much attention and had maintained her disguise.
Glancing at the Howling Ghost Forest below, Chu Wuyao didn't immediately enter but extended her perception.
Not surprisingly, she quickly found out that many cultivators had gotten here before her and had already stepped into the forest.
In total, Chu Wuyao could sense three cultivators at the Awakening Realm, dozens at the Shackles Realm, and even more at the Qi Accumulation Realm.
"But it's not impossible for there to be some people that hide themselves."
After all, cultivators possessed all kinds of strange techniques, skills, and treasures, and Chu Wuyao didn't believe that her methods were invincible.
"However, I didn't expect that I would meet an acquaintance.", she thought, but she quickly shook her head.
Knowing that she could not continue wasting time, Chu Wuyao didn't hesitate any longer and landed on the ground, before stepping inside the forest.
