Chapter 329: Trading the Ghost Tree

Yun Zhenxie knew Su Bai’s methods.

Even Li Hun, a Yuanying Stage (Initial Stage) Cultivator, was no match, let alone Hong Hu, a Core Formation Late Stage Cultivator.

Moreover, Su Bai had also experienced a Lightning Tribulation before.

She just didn't know why Su Bai’s cultivation Realm hadn't changed after the Lightning Tribulation.

Because Great Yun didn't have such a powerful Body Cultivator as Su Bai.

They only used cultivation Realm to gauge a Cultivator's strength.

Previously, in Su Bai's several battles with Cultivators, almost everyone was stunned by the powerful Body Cultivator cultivation she displayed.

Precisely because there was no similar existence, the Cultivators in Lingyao Valley speculated that Su Bai’s cultivation Realm had surpassed Core Formation Peak, and she had already stepped into the Nascent Soul Stage.

“Yes, I will not disappoint Valley Master Su.”

Yun Zhenxie sighed in his heart.

Following Su Bai meant not having to worry about cultivation resources, but the tasks involved were a bit risky.

He Daoren and Mei Guanzi probably encountered Hong Hu by chance, and Hong Hu easily defeated them upon seeing them.

Because he didn't know He Daoren's methods, He Daoren managed to escape back.

If he, Yun Zhenxie, had encountered Hong Hu, it wouldn't have been so simple.

Hong Hu would definitely go all out.

At that time, he didn't know if his old bones could withstand it.

Seeing that Yun Zhenxie seemed a bit unwilling, Su Bai spoke up:

“Dao Friend Yun, in two months, Xuanhun Sect will send a batch of ghost soul tree for trade.”

“The Magic Treasure refined from that material is extremely powerful. Although this Cultivator cannot find wronged souls for you, this Cultivator has many Evil Qi items. If you refine that, the power will also be considerable.”

“If you handle this matter beautifully, this Cultivator can reward you with a Ten Thousand Souls Banner filled with Evil Qi as a Magic Treasure, how about it?”

One couldn't just make people work without giving rewards.

Su Bai casually said she would give him a Magic Treasure.

And it was even a Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhenxie's eyes lit up!

Yun Zhenxie knew that Su Bai had special channels to acquire many Yao Beast Materials containing Evil Qi.

So he knew that Su Bai giving him the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was not a lie.

This Magic Treasure had powerful offensive capabilities. If he added more Gengjin in the future, he might not even fall into a disadvantage when fighting a Sword Cultivator head-on.

Facing Su Bai’s generous reward, Yun Zhenxie cupped his hands and bowed, his body almost parallel to the ground.

“Valley Master Su, rest assured, that red-bearded fellow is nothing but a wild brute, a simple-minded idiot, not worth worrying about.”

“Valley Master Su only needs to wait for the good news of other Sects coming to cooperate with our Lingyao Valley. Leave everything else to me.”

Yun Zhenxie had a matter-of-fact expression, as if the person who had just shown hesitation wasn't him.

Su Bai had come to understand these Cultivators who were originally from Fierce Demon Valley.

Each and every one of them was the type to die for wealth, like birds dying for food.

As long as she displayed a heavy treasure, these fellows would willingly throw themselves into the fire like moths.

Of course, it was also because the treasures Su Bai gave were indeed valuable.

After all, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner…

Although its reputation wasn't good, it was indeed a top-tier Magic Treasure.

Not to mention in the Great Yue Cultivation World, even if it went to the Xuantian Cultivation World, it would still be a first-rate item.

After all, one difference between this Magic Treasure and ordinary Magic Treasures was that for ordinary Magic Treasures to increase their power, one either had to spend a lot of time nurturing them with spiritual Qi, or find top-tier Materials to add to them.

However, the growth of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was very simple…

Even if Su Bai didn't collect the souls of Cultivators and instead used Evil Qi.

The power of this Ten Thousand Souls Banner would not decrease much.

One could only say that, aside from moral considerations, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was a perfect Magic Treasure.

If there were any drawbacks, it might be its fear of strange items like the辟邪神雷 (Evil-Dispelling Divine Lightning) and the fact that it would attract pursuit from various Cultivators.

After receiving Su Bai's promise, Yun Zhenxie didn't delay and immediately planned to leave.

However, just as he started flying, Su Bai stood below and reminded him:

“Dao Friend Yun, remember, first call back all the Lingyao Valley Cultivators who are outside, to avoid undeserved calamity.”

Hearing Su Bai's words, Yun Zhenxie clasped his fist.

“As you command!”

With that, Yun Zhenxie transformed into a streak of light and sped away into the distance.

Although she had promised Yun Zhenxie to give him a Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

The ghost soul tree had not arrived yet, so it was naturally impossible to refine it.

Moreover, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner also had requirements for the age of the ghost soul tree.

It also needed to be cultivated.

These things couldn't be rushed.

But Su Bai also had other things to do now.

That was to continue enhancing the thousand year warm jade.

From the very beginning, she had planned to enhance the thousand year warm jade after all the Spirit Medicine in Lingyao Valley were planted, and then the Yin Luo Fire.

But when she actually started…

She realized…

It was too slow…

It would take over a hundred years for the thousand year warm jade in her hand to be upgraded to a ten thousand year warm jade.

“Miscalculation. Although even if it's not a ten thousand year warm jade, every time the Warm Jade's age increases, its effect will also increase, but it's still a bit long.”

“How about I upgrade the Yin Luo Fire first.”

This was a bit simpler.

Because she had already tried it once, the Yin Luo Fire in Su Bai's hand was already comparable in power to the one in Wangchuan’s hand.

It was estimated that after two more uses of Creation Essence, it would be equivalent to the one in Lü Hong's hand.

As for how long it would take to upgrade to Yin Demon Fire.

She didn't know, but it shouldn't be too difficult.

After all, it was only the first evolution.

After Lingyao Valley got on track and could earn Spirit Stone, Su Bai gradually shifted her focus to improving herself.

She watched Lü Hong continue to refine her Talisman Dao, while she continued to delve into Formation and Puppet.

The Core Formation Cultivators from Lingyao Valley who were outside were also gradually found by Yun Zhenxie.

Two months passed in a flash.

Out of a total of twenty-three Core Formation Cultivators and eleven False Core Cultivators in Lingyao Valley, five Core Formation Cultivators and seven False Core Cultivators had now returned.

The returning Core Formation Cultivators were all in the Early Stage Realm. They didn't run far, and after being found by Yun Zhenxie, they returned directly.

Those who ran further away would probably take a year and a half to return.

However, if one carefully calculated the Core Formation combat power of Lingyao Valley, it was already not inferior to a first-rate Sect.

Thirty-four Core Formation combatants, no matter where they were, were a force not to be underestimated.

This strength already surpassed Tianyun City.

Although not all of them had returned yet.

Not all of Lingyao Valley's Core Formation Cultivators had returned.

Xuanhun Sect arrived.

Nether Dark Son brought the ghost soul tree that they had painstakingly cut down for over a month.

“Valley Master Su, haha, the agreed time has come, I'm here to trade for some Spirit Medicine.”

He held the contract they had signed in one hand and a Storage Pouch in the other.

For three months, Nether Dark Son had been constantly thinking about the third-tier Spirit Medicine in front of Yinhun Dian (Netherworld Soul Hall).

In addition to the ghost soul tree, he also brought some extra Spirit Stone.

He intended to ask Wan Hun to refine some Medicinal Pills to take back.

Su Bai took the Storage Pouch and counted the ghost soul tree.

“Oh! There are even thousand-year-old ones, not bad.”

She had thought they were all hundred-year-old ones, but she didn't expect such a pleasant surprise.

After counting, Su Bai destroyed the contract in front of Nether Dark Son.

“Sect Leader Nether Dark Son, welcome next time.”

Handing over the third-tier Spirit Medicine agreed upon in the contract to Nether Dark Son, Su Bai was very satisfied with this transaction.

Nether Dark Son was also the same.

He chuckled twice.

“Definitely, my Sect's back mountain has plenty of ghost soul tree.”
