Zombie Cultivation Across Worlds

The Tianyin Gate, being one of the Five Righteous Sects, had always been wary of demonic methods before the war against the indigenous sects of Wuzhou began. No matter what they did in secret, they would never reveal anything on the surface. But now, as the war intensified, they dared to bring these matters to light. Even so, there were still very few who practiced demonic cultivation techniques.

If they missed Chu Xuan as a buyer, who knew when the next one would appear. Lü Yin, feeling helpless, nodded, "Alright, then..."

Chu Xuan pointed to another thin booklet, "I'm interested in the Golden Dragon Temple's technique. I'll take it as a bonus."

He was referring to a Foundation Establishment stage defensive technique from the Golden Dragon Temple called "Golden Wheel Protection Technique."

Lü Yin was a bit annoyed. How could he keep pushing his luck like this?

The Han cultivator, who had been sitting by the side, drinking tea and eating snacks, smiled and said, "Friend Lingchong, why not just sell it as a bonus? After all, that technique isn't selling anyway."

"This Golden Wheel Protection Technique requires a considerable amount of merit to activate. Who would want it besides the bald monks of the Golden Dragon Temple?"

After weighing his options, Lü Yin had no choice but to nod, "Alright, it's yours."

The transaction between the two parties was completed. Lü Yin took the Cold Fu Bell and left, looking impatient. Chu Xuan successfully acquired both the "Boiling Blood True Technique" and the "Golden Wheel Protection Technique."

In fact, when Lü Yin laid out all the booklets, Chu Xuan had immediately set his sights on these two. The "Boiling Blood True Technique" could accelerate his blood regeneration, which was crucial for maintaining his essence blood. This way, he could support more Life Artifacts without depleting himself.

As for the "Golden Wheel Protection Technique," it required a foundation of merit to activate, making it worthless to most cultivators. Lü Yin surely wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible. Unsurprisingly, Chu Xuan added it to his collection. Both techniques could serve as auxiliary cultivation methods.

As for the risk of practicing too many techniques leading to an imbalance in internal energy and potential deviation...

What a joke. The demonic path didn't care about such things. Even if one day he did face deviation, there were plenty of demonic methods to suppress conflicting energies. Otherwise, how did those senior demonic cultivators survive?

After Lü Yin left, only Chu Xuan and the Han cultivator remained on the third floor of the teahouse. The Han cultivator smiled, "Friend, you seem to have gotten what you wanted. Do you still want to trade with me?"

Chu Xuan casually asked, "What else do you have?"

The Han cultivator smiled slightly, "I not only have demonic cultivation techniques but also deal in intelligence."

Chu Xuan's eyes flickered, "Intelligence is fine, but how do I know the value of your information?"

The Han cultivator took a sip of tea before saying, "The leader of this war is about to change. I know the specific timing and who will take over next. Is that valuable enough?"

Chu Xuan was intrigued but kept a calm face, "It's acceptable."

The Han cultivator chuckled, "I also know who's behind the scenes stirring up trouble in this war."

"And who they plan to target next."

Chu Xuan nodded slightly, "Now that's interesting."

He took out ten large Blood Pearls, lining them up, "Let's hear the first one."

The Han cultivator casually pocketed them before saying, "Within half a month, the offensive will pause. Zhao Wuya and Huang Yuanwu, two Golden Elixir Ancestors, will be recalled to the main hall, replaced by Zhu Taiji, Guo Zhen, and Chu Qiong, three Golden Elixir Ancestors."

Chu Xuan's expression remained unchanged. When he first arrived at Feishan Hall, he had overheard Zhao Wuya and Wan Wuying mention these names. Among them was Zhu Taiji.

Zhu Taiji was strongly opposed to the Extreme Yin Cave lineage joining the Tianyin Gate, believing that demonic cultivators should always be eradicated. Now, with the Thousand Insect Sect on the verge of destruction, they were withdrawing Zhao Wuya and Huang Yuanwu and replacing them with Zhu Taiji and others. It seemed like there was one more Golden Elixir cultivator, but the underlying complexities were likely numerous.

Chu Xuan pondered. The sudden change by the Tianyin Gate was bound to affect the cultivators of the Extreme Yin Cave lineage.

The Han cultivator smiled, "Friend, do you want the rest of the information?"

Chu Xuan shook his head, "No need, the transaction is over."

With that, he stood up and left without hesitation, leaving the Han cultivator standing there, bewildered.

"Not interested?"

"Just leaving like that?"

The remaining information was clearly more intriguing. Yet, this person straightforwardly chose not to listen.

"He could produce a top-grade attack Spiritual Artifact from Iron Thread Mountain. I initially thought he might be the Extreme Yin Cave cultivator who killed those seven Gu cultivators from Iron Thread Mountain."

"But he showed no interest in the rest of the content, which doesn't seem like the behavior of an Extreme Yin Cave cultivator..."

"This guy is truly inscrutable."

The Han cultivator muttered a few words and then left the place as well.

On his way back to the Water Curtain Cave, Chu Xuan pondered the conflicts of interest. The war between the Tianyin Gate and the indigenous sects of Wuzhou undoubtedly involved a third-party force. This was beyond doubt. It could be the Divine Gang Sect, Golden Dragon Temple, Miaoyin Palace, or Yuling Mountain. Whoever it was didn't matter.

Chu Xuan could guess, and since the Han cultivator knew, the upper-level Golden Elixir cultivators must also know. The third-party force's involvement likely had motives beyond merely depleting the Tianyin Gate's strength.

"Right... At the beginning of the war, Wan Wuying, Zhao Wuya, and Huang Yuanwu, three Golden Elixir cultivators, seized a treasure from Wuzhou."

"Could it be related to that item?"

"Is the third-party force also coveting that treasure?"

Chu Xuan's eyes lit up. This speculation seemed reasonable. If so, predicting the third-party force's next move became easier. They would target the Extreme Yin Cave. More specifically, they might target Wan Wuying!

"Tsk, another storm is brewing."

"I wonder how my cheap Master will handle it."

"If things go south, I can always return to Ocean Blue Star."

Chu Xuan wasn't too worried. If he couldn't win, he'd just pack up and leave. He had no interest in getting involved in the disputes and conflicts of the Yu Kingdom. However, if he could clean up the aftermath and sweep the battlefield after the fight, he wouldn't mind. Mainly, it was about fulfilling his duty to his fellow sect members. At least the dead should have someone to collect their bodies, right? It was definitely not about coveting their corpses and Storage Bags. Absolutely not.

...

In the following days, Chu Xuan disguised himself multiple times and went to the nameless market, selling off things he didn't need. He wasn't foolish enough to sell a large number of treasures all at once. Doing so would surely attract covetous eyes and could very well expose his identity.

The top-grade attack Spiritual Artifact from Iron Thread Mountain, Gu insect eggs, Thousand Insect Sect's cultivation manuals... All these things pointed to one event: the sudden disappearance of those seven Gu cultivators from the Thousand Insect Sect a few days ago. Chu Xuan didn't want to be constantly remembered by others.

His disguise techniques were highly advanced and never saw through. On this day, as Chu Xuan was about to sell the last of his items, a voice transmission reached his Cave Dwelling.

"Chu Xuan, come to my Cave Dwelling immediately."

The voice came from his cheap Master, Wan Wuying.
