Cultivation Kill

Before Shen Zige could speak, the young man in the floral shirt next to him snorted coldly, so he had no choice but to pick up his tea and sip it slowly.

"What's so great about the Foundation Establishment stage? I've only been in this world for six years, and I've already reached the eighth level of Spirit Condensation. I don't think Foundation Establishment will be difficult for me." The young man in the floral shirt said disdainfully, "If you want to negotiate, don't try to intimidate me with your aura. Go outside and ask around. Who has I, Long Aotian, ever been afraid of!"

Shen Zige almost spat out the tea in her mouth—why do transmigrators from the East all like to use the alias Long Aotian!

He was certain that this was just an alias and couldn't possibly be his real name.

Liu Gui of the True Artifact Sect was in a bit of an awkward situation. Even though he was a Foundation Establishment expert, he didn't dare to take action against the five people from the Star Boundary Company. So, he was helpless against their arrogant opponents.

If only the other side weren't from the Star Realm Company, we could just capture them directly. The city lord of this city has a very good relationship with the True Artifact Sect, so he definitely wouldn't interfere in this matter.

"I remember when you bought the sword embryo, it was only at the mid-stage of the Spirit Condensation realm. How come it's already at the late stage in just a few days?" the white-haired old man asked. Although he was old, his memory was excellent.

"I, Long Aotian, am just playing dumb to fool others. Isn't it normal for me to use a concealment technique to hide my cultivation level when buying things?" the young man in the floral shirt said with a disdainful tone.

“I have a vague recollection of your appearance,” Liu Gui said. “That day I went to the City Lord’s Mansion on business and saw a man talking to a senior array master. From his profile, he looked exactly like you.”

"No, there are many people in the world who look alike," the young man in the floral shirt explained, "especially those who look alike from the side."

“Brother Long is right.” Another young man in black, about the same age as the man in the floral shirt, chimed in, “When it comes to business, just quote a price. Don’t threaten people with your cultivation level. I, Zhao Ritian, am not afraid of anything. I’ve been here for eight years and I’m already at the ninth level of the Spirit Condensation Realm. Although I’ve never fought a Foundation Establishment cultivator, just from my name you can tell that I can kill Foundation Establishment cultivators as easily as slaughtering cattle and sheep!”

The three members of the True Weapon Sect looked at each other, unsure of what to say. Were all those who bought the sword embryos mentally unstable and strange? Didn't they know the huge gap between the Spirit Condensation and Foundation Establishment stages? Generally speaking, ten Spirit Condensation Grand Perfection cultivators wouldn't be a match for one Foundation Establishment early stage cultivator.

After two people expressed their opinions, the remaining three took turns speaking.

“I, Mulan Tian, ​​agree with Brother Zhao and Brother Long. Let’s skip the formalities. We just bought a treasure, right? If you want it back, you can! But you have to give us a satisfactory price,” said the only woman sitting in Shen Zige’s row.

“I, Yang Chongtian, agree with what my fellow villagers say.” The man who spoke had a buzz cut and was about thirty years old.

The other four had already expressed their opinions, and it was Shen Zige's turn.

“I, Ba Zhentian, think so too. You True Weapon Sect, speak your mind! Get to the point!” Shen Zige said.

The man in the floral shirt, who used the alias Long Aotian, choked for a moment and spat out his tea. The three people opposite him hurriedly got up to avoid him.

The man in the floral shirt thought Shen Zige's name sounded like a car from Earth, so he couldn't help but spit out his tea.

“You are all smart people, and you have all guessed the reason. I lost money selling you the sword blanks,” said the white-bearded old shopkeeper. “I admit I misjudged you. I invited the five of you out here because I planned to buy back the sword blanks at double the price.”

The four people other than Shen Zige were secretly pleased to hear this, believing that they were indeed the protagonists of destiny, able to find treasures even when casually browsing shops.

"Could these four people not even be able to tell the quality of a sword?" Shen Zige wondered. He had already confirmed that a sword blank that could be melted by the Spirit Condensation Flame spell could be made of good material.

"Double?" The man in the floral shirt, using the alias Long Aotian, scoffed. "The treasures I, Long Aotian, have set my sights on are not something you can buy back for a mere double the price. Five times is the minimum!"

He sensed something was off. If these were treasures, five seemed like too many!

"My name, Zhao Ritianguang, is worth five times that!" the young man in black declared.

"Mulan Tian is just like them," the woman said. "Trying to humiliate me with a low price? Have you ever heard of a beautiful woman's anger causing heaven and earth to weep?"

"You want to insult me, Yang Chongtian, by offering double the price?" the crew-cut man said. "Go, get lost!"

Shen Zige believes that the transmigrators here have realized that what they bought is probably not a treasure. How can rare treasures be mass-produced? But the other party must have a reason for wanting to buy it back. Everyone wants to raise the price, and you can't just believe what others say.

"Five times is too expensive, it's not worth the buyback," said the Zhenqi Sect woman holding a jade ruyi. "At most, I'll give you two and a half times the price."

The two sides then engaged in a heated bargaining argument...

Half an hour later.

Both parties reached an agreement that the True Weapon Sect would ultimately agree to buy back the sword blanks they had sold for three times the price.

The five people handed the sword blanks wrapped in cloth to the three members of the True Weapon Sect, and received spirit tickets worth 1,800 spirit stones from Liu Gui.

"Ding-dong." Something from Yang Chongtian fell under the chair; it looked like a stone.

Shen Zige bent down to help pick it up, and it turned out to be a stone, heart-shaped and blue.

A jade-like hand swiftly picked it up for Yang Chongtian and handed it back to him; it was Mulan Tian.

"Where did you learn this trick?" Shen Zige asked Yang Chongtian. "Giving a heart-shaped stone to a woman is the fastest and best way to give spirit stones in this world."

Yang Chongtian's cheeks flushed slightly, seemingly a little embarrassed, and he did not answer Shen Zige's question.

The five transmigrators were very satisfied. After all, they had earned so many spirit stones in just a few days, which was like winning the lottery. Who wouldn't be happy?

Shen Zige was the happiest, but he didn't show it on his face. He essentially got a storage ring for free and even earned 1,200 spirit stones from the other party.

Shen Zige thought to himself: If the True Artifact Sect knew that they had lost their storage rings and spent nine thousand spirit stones to buy back five pieces of waste, would they fly into a rage or die from vomiting blood?

No, I have to get out of here right now! Shen Zige decided.

Fortunately, the people from the True Weapon Sect only examined the sword tips to confirm that they were the five sword blanks that had been sold. They did not fully unwrap the cloth strips, apparently because they did not want to expose the secret to Shen Zige and his group of five.

The five people headed to the elevator powered by spiritual energy and magic arrays, and then left together.

Those who deceive others will always be deceived themselves. As the beam of light descended with the elevator, Shen Zige had this thought. He didn't know where the True Artifact Pavilion got this terrible idea. Having suffered a great loss this time, they should be more restrained in the future.

"Gentlemen, I know that a secret realm in a nearby city has recently opened. It seems to restrict cultivation levels; those at the Foundation Establishment stage or above cannot enter. How about we join forces to try it out?" The man in the floral shirt, using the alias Long Aotian, said as the elevator stopped.

"A secret realm, treasures?" the young man in black said. "That's what's prepared for me, Zhao Ritian, hahaha!"

"I, Yang Chongtian, was born for the secret realms," the crew-cut man declared. "I reign supreme over all secret realms, my domineering aura soaring to the heavens, my sword unparalleled!"

"We, the women of Mulan, are no less capable than men!"

"I, Ba Zhentian, will prove to the world that aliens can do it too." Shen Zige mimicked their way of speaking.

To this world, they are indeed aliens.

"Very good, everyone follow me."

“I’m at the Star Realm Company building right now. I’ll go there first to exchange my spirit stone card and spirit ticket for spirit stones,” Shen Zige said. “Please wait for me for a few minutes.”

Spirit stones contain spiritual energy and can be used for cultivation, while spirit tickets and spirit stone cards do not contain spiritual energy. His current storage ring space is large, about fifty cubic meters, and a spirit stone is about three centimeters long. He did a quick mental calculation and found that his storage ring space can hold 1.85 million spirit stones.

After exchanging the spirit stones, Shen Zige returned to the group.

The man in the floral shirt led the way, with the four of them following behind, heading towards the teleportation array.

The four people walking behind whispered among themselves on the road:

"Does this Long Aotian really know about any secret realm?"

"Could they be trying to lure us to some unknown small city and then rob us of our spirit stones?"

"He's only at the late stage of the Spirit Condensation realm. There are four of us: two at the late stage, one at the middle stage, and one at the early stage. We don't need to be afraid of him at all."

The female cultivator at the fifth level of the Spirit Condensation Realm is using the alias Mulan Tian, ​​while the one at the first level of the Initial Realm is Shen Zige.

Shen Zige now has a total of two thousand spirit stones. Hearing this, she became cautious and prepared, thinking that if things went wrong, she would escape on her sword and the others should not be able to catch up.

The five time travelers appeared to be laughing and joking along the way, but each had their own thoughts.

They soon arrived at the teleportation array, where two Spirit Condensation stage employees from the Star Realm Company were working.

"Head to 998 Arena City." The man in the floral shirt, using the alias Long Aotian, tossed over a spirit stone.

The four of them simultaneously threw out spirit stones and teleported together.

A light shone, and everyone disappeared into the formation.
