The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 422

422 /428

Chu Xuan's face flushed with righteous indignation. "How greedy! To think such people exist in the world!"

Tie Jun sighed deeply. "The Starshatter Sea is filled with wicked sects, bloodthirsty and evil. The number of such scoundrels who kill for treasure is countless. I was blind to think of that person as an ally."

He looked at Chu Xuan. "People like Fellow Daoist He, who are truly virtuous, are rare. You must be extra cautious from now on."

Chu Xuan nodded in agreement. "Fellow Daoist Tie is right."

Tie Jun suddenly asked, "Fellow Daoist He, is there anything else you need to purchase while in Moon Market, besides the demonic beast meat? I've spent many years in this market and made connections with several alchemists, blacksmiths, and talisman masters. I could introduce you to them, and perhaps get you a discount."

His smile was warm and inviting, making it hard to find fault.

Chu Xuan was about to make an excuse, but then paused, realizing that Tie Jun was not someone to be underestimated. Lying would be useless, so he decided to be half-truthful.

He sighed lightly. "To be honest, I came to Moon Market to buy some Gu insects. My strength is still weak, and I must rely on the Gu insect path to enhance it."

Tie Jun was surprised but nodded. "There's no need to feel embarrassed. Though Gu insects are a dangerous and dark path, sometimes there's no other choice. As for Gu Masters... I don't know any personally, but you could try the East District on the fifth floor. I remember there are several Gu Masters there. They're all a bit eccentric and cold, though."

Chu Xuan nodded. "That's no trouble. I'll go on my own."

The two of them stood up. Tie Jun left first, while Chu Xuan bought another fifty pounds of Purple Star Rhinoceros meat before heading toward the other stalls.

Last time, he had noticed that Moon Market was a place where anything could be bought, as long as the price was right. Whether it was rare True Steel Centipedes or demons forged from the souls of a hundred thousand beings, there were always cultivators willing to trade.

Soon, Chu Xuan arrived at the fifth floor of Moon Market. As expected, he found a few Gu Masters selling Gu insects and their food.

The transaction was smooth. Although the Gu Masters had strange and cold personalities, they did not refuse trade. After some haggling, Chu Xuan purchased five True Steel Centipede eggs for twenty great spirit stones.

The reason there were five eggs was that the True Steel Centipede, a Gu insect with ancient and rare bloodlines, had a low hatch rate. Only by having several eggs could one hope to successfully hatch even a single one.

The Gu Master also mentioned that if none of the five eggs hatched successfully, Chu Xuan could come back and find him. Furthermore, he gave Chu Xuan a gift: one hundred pounds of Gu insect food.

This food was the most basic type, made by crushing spirit stones and mixing them with blood from demonic beasts of similar rank. While Chu Xuan could prepare it himself, the food was primarily for keeping the insects fed, rather than aiding their growth. It wasn't capable of accelerating their development.

Regardless, the purpose of Chu Xuan's trip had been fulfilled. Now, it was time to return to Nameless Island, head back to Blue Star, and continue to strengthen his own power.

Not long after, Chu Xuan boarded the Nine Yin Ship and set sail from Moon Island's harbor.

In a secluded corner, Tie Jun watched Chu Xuan leave, then took out a transmission jade slip.

"Senior Brother Sun, He Liang has already left the island. We can make our move. He still hasn't finished the Black Magic Whale meat he bought last time, and this time, he only bought fifty pounds of Purple Star Rhinoceros meat. I suspect he is hiding his cultivation level. I guess that he's at Body Refinement Level 34, but he won't be any higher than Level 35."

A deep, resonant voice came through the transmission jade slip. "Good. Master will remember the contribution you've made."

Tie Jun respectfully replied, "It is my greatest honor to serve Moon True Master. I hope Senior Brother Sun will speak well of me in front of Master."
