Cultivation Kill

Shen Zige received 1,000 spirit stones and one more chance to draw a prize at the Star Realm Company headquarters.

"Shen Zige, you've also emerged from the Immortal Cultivation Killing Secret Realm?" a familiar voice rang out.

Shen Zige knew it was Shi Yuan without even looking.

"Didn't you go to other countries to do business?" Shen Zige asked.

"I'll take the large teleportation array back this morning," Shi Yuan said. "Just to experience it. Anyway, I don't lack spirit stones."

Shen Zige scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered that Shi Yuan's cultivation level had reached the seventh level of the Spirit Condensation Realm. This guy actually improved so quickly?

"You've already reached the seventh level of Spirit Condensation in just one year! That's amazing!" Shen Zige said. "But, haven't you forgotten something?"

The two walked together into the city. When they passed the female cultivator with the flame mark between her eyebrows, they bowed and said goodbye.

The female cultivator was the assistant to the city's manager and should also be at the Core Formation stage.

Lower-level cultivators must bow to higher-level seniors, unless you are particularly busy or dislike the other person, in which case you may not bow. Of course, if you encounter a petty cultivator, it is equivalent to making enemies.

"What did I forget?"

As Shi Yuan walked, he pondered the meaning of Shen Zige's words.

A cultivator who had come to the secret realm to participate in the Immortal Cultivation Kill brushed past him—

"Qin Jing is participating in the Immortal Cultivation Kill today too!" Shi Yuan jumped up. "She won't lose, will she?"

After saying that, he ignored Shen Zige and rushed towards the teleportation array at lightning speed.

Shen Zige is fine now. He just went through a cultivation battle that left him physically and mentally exhausted, and he needs to find a place to rest.

He arrived in the city and entered a bustling food street.

Suddenly, shouts came from ahead, and a group of people who were strolling around were pushed aside, knocking over a candy vendor's stall on the side of the street. Candy was scattered all over the ground, and several thin and pale boys and girls hurriedly picked it up and ran away. They were willing to be caught and locked up for a few days if they could eat candy.

The people were overthrown by thugs from the three major factions in the city, and the candy vendor dared not utter a sound.

The three major factions' thugs stood in two rows, making way for a middle-aged man dressed in brocade robes to walk over.

Shen Zige recognized the man; he was none other than Liu Gui from the True Artifact Sect!

"Shen Zige, not bad, you still managed to come out alive."

Liu Gui clapped insincerely and said with a smile, "Are you interested in joining our True Weapon Sect?"

"I'm not stupid, why would I walk into a trap?" Shen Zige treated Liu Gui's words as nonsense. Although the Star Realm Company did not restrict its employees from joining other sects, very few people actually did.

Moreover, Liu Gui clearly had ulterior motives. Even if he said that the sect had mountains of spirit stones waiting to be delivered, Shen Zige would not go.

"Young man, don't you know that in this world, you should never refuse the kindness of a high-level cultivator?" Liu Gui resorted to force when soft tactics failed, threatening, "A person can't stay in the city forever; there will always be a time for them to go out. Of course, a coward is an exception; it's not a human."

"I told you I had a nightmare while sleeping today, so I went to a dream interpreter. The interpreter said I would encounter a mad dog today that would bark at me!" Shen Zige retorted, not to be outdone. "Get out of my way!"

After saying that, he swaggered past Liu Gui.

Liu Gui clenched his fists and only relaxed them after Shen Zige had gone far away.

Hisses arose from the surrounding crowd, and some shouted, "The True Artifact Sect is a waste! They don't even dare to make a move."

Liu Guigang, who had just calmed down, was enraged again and said to his thugs, "Grab the guy who just cursed me and break his legs!"

He thought to himself, "If I can't deal with Shen Zige, I can at least deal with you locals."

Three thugs, using their hearing to pinpoint the location, pounced directly on the person who had shouted.

Boom boom boom!

To everyone's surprise, the three thugs who rushed forward were sent flying back, all with broken arms and legs!

"who!"

Liu Gui scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered that the person who had been mocking him was actually Shi Yuan, so he had no choice but to give up.

Shi Yuan is not only a member of the Star Realm Company, but also a guest of honor of the three princes of the Bamboo Kingdom. Even if he is only at the Spirit Condensation stage, he is not someone Liu Gui can afford to offend.

Liu Gui snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeve.

Staying here will only invite more ridicule.

At this moment, Tian Qiwen of the Wuding Business Alliance felt much the same way as Liu Gui. He had already smashed five cups in front of him, which frightened the maids on both sides to kneel on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

He had an impulse to go and kill Shen Zige, but reason stopped him. Star Realm Corporation didn't care who you were; their company rules were the most important.

He recalled that the fifth prince of the Bamboo Kingdom had taken a fancy to a female employee of the Star Realm Company who was in the Spirit Condensation stage and planned to forcibly take her. When the female employee refused, she was killed. Later, the Star Realm Company sent law enforcement officers who killed the fifth prince in front of the king of the Bamboo Kingdom.

"Manager Wu."

Tian Qiwen called in Manager Wu from the Merchant Alliance: "Didn't you say you would arrange for him to die in the Immortal Cultivation Killing Secret Realm? How come he's still alive and well?"

"It was a mistake. I didn't expect that the detective Jiang Luanbu, whom we hired at a high price, was so incompetent and was defeated by Shen Zige!" Manager Wu explained. "Shen Zige is indeed quite capable. He is meticulous in his thinking and bold in his actions. We can't treat him like an ordinary Qi Condensation cultivator."

"Does our Wuding Business Alliance have no one who can deal with him?" Tian Qiwen said. "They're all a bunch of useless trash!"

"Once I've mastered my cultivation technique, I'll deal with him personally," Manager Wu said. "Let this grasshopper in autumn hop around for a while."

At the Ninety-Nine Arena, the largest restaurant, Zhuyuelou, is bathed in the glow of evening lights.

Shen Zige was sitting at a sandalwood square table on the third floor of Zhuyue Tower. On the table were three delicious dishes and a pot of wine.

"Authentic wild game, simply sprinkled with salt and dipped in sauce, is the ultimate enjoyment!"

Shen Zige used her jade chopsticks to pick up a slice of snow beef, drizzled it with sauce, and popped it into her mouth.

Snow cattle are white cattle, all over their bodies, including their eyes. They live in high-altitude areas and do not exist in the Bamboo Kingdom. They need to be transported by teleportation. A plate of their meat can be sold for two spirit stones.

"I'll have one too!" Shi Yuan walked over, sat opposite Shen Zige, picked up a piece of meat, and threw it into his mouth.

"What did Qin Jing say?" Shen Zige asked.

“They closed the inn doors and refused to see me,” Shi Yuan replied. “In my previous world, I had more than a dozen girlfriends, and none of them dared to treat me like this. But the more they treated me like this, the more I liked them.”

"A rich young master's perverted hobby," Shen Zige commented.

"When did your concealment technique become so profound? I can't even tell your level of cultivation!" Shi Yuan asked while picking up some food.

“Because my cultivation level is higher than yours, it’s normal that you can’t tell as long as I control my aura,” Shen Zige said.

"Your cultivation level is higher than mine?" Shi Yuan's chopsticks stopped in mid-air. "Impossible! Do you know what I got from the prince of the Bamboo Kingdom? The Ten-Thousand-Year Pure Spirit Fruit, one of the rarest treasures in the world. After using it, one can have ten times the cultivation speed for a period of time."

"Oh."

Shen Zige replied calmly, without explaining or asking how Shi Yuan obtained the Ten Thousand Year Pure Spirit Fruit.

"I heard you don't have a good relationship with the Wuding Business Alliance," Shi Yuan said. "I've discovered a loophole that allows me to earn spirit stones from the Wuding Business Alliance."

"Saying they're not on good terms isn't accurate," Shen Zige said. "They're mortal enemies. Do you have a way to both take revenge and earn spirit stones?"

"Let's eat and drink our fill first."

Under the candlelight, the two clinked glasses and chatted merrily. When they were tipsy, Shi Yuan paid the bill, and the two were taken directly to a guest room to rest.

As for how they earned spirit stones, everyone was so drunk that no one mentioned it anymore.
