Chapter 186: Chapter 108: Immortal Pavilion Trading (2)
He even saw an Immortal Skill whose Spiritual Light rivaled the Ten Extremes.
Perhaps.
It was a Foundation Establishment Cultivation Technique Fragment.
At the very end.
He also saw iron cages containing several dazed and stupefied High Tier Qi Cultivation Immortals, with Talismans stuck to them, being sold like goods.
High Tier Qi Cultivation Immortals were equivalent to the Innate Realm.
The vendor was that Silver Robe.
’A Silver Robe is probably equivalent to the peak of Qi Cultivation—the Tenth Layer. If not, then at least the Ninth Layer.’
Su Chen subconsciously reached for his Sword Box.
Even a Silver Robe was this strong.
In Qi Cultivation Immortal Pavilion 108, just how powerful must the sole Golden Robe be?
He scanned his surroundings.
Su Chen didn’t find anyone selling Innate Lifespan. Instead, Innate Lifespan seemed to be the hard currency, capable of purchasing any of the Immortal Treasures or Immortal Skills at the stalls.
A single High Tier Qi Cultivation Immortal sold for one hundred years of Innate Lifespan.
After a long while.
Finally, a white-robed vendor walked over, pulled Su Chen to his stall, and placed several manuals before him.
"Friend."
"Peerless techniques from the Human World!"
"See anything you like?"
"Reaching the Acquired Realm, or even the Innate, will be no problem at all."
Grandmaster Martial Arts: *Back Mountain Technique*, *Heavenly Secret Transformation*, *Heaven-Devouring Demon Technique*...
’So this was the source of the *Heaven-Devouring Demon Technique*. It came from this Immortal Pavilion 108.’
"I’m looking to buy some Innate Lifespan."
Su Chen shook his head.
At that moment, a clear sword cry rang out from within his Sword Box.
The only way to acquire Innate Lifespan was to become a vendor.
An Immortal Pavilion only had ten stalls.
You either waited, or you snatched one!
Su Chen couldn’t wait.
So.
He would snatch one!
"Kid, you seem to know a lot."
"You want to snatch my stall?"
The white-robed man sneered. Though his face couldn’t be seen clearly, his mocking tone made his disdain obvious.
"Hahaha!"
"How interesting. He’s a black-robe, isn’t he? For a second there, I almost thought he was a Golden Robe..."
The Silver Robe had also taken an interest. He looked up, a smile on his face.
As for the sole Golden Robe, he was sitting lazily in a corner, as if nothing here was worthy of his attention.
"Not just yours."
"I’m not just snatching from you. I’m going to snatch all ten of your stalls!"
"Anyone who wants to trade,"
"Will have to trade with me first, using Innate Lifespan! Otherwise, no one does any business."
At that moment, the Immortal Pavilion fell silent. The ten vendors—one Silver Robe and nine powerful white-robes—along with the other white-robed cultivators, all turned to look.
They soberly sized up this madman.
It seemed an Overseas Strong Dragon of Mortal Cultivation had arrived this time!
The top experts of the Innate Realm, those who had performed the heaven-defying act of Innate Life-taking the maximum of nine times, were far stronger than even the Immortal Pavilion’s Golden Robe, nearing the level of Foundation Establishment.
Of course, such a Demon was a rare sight, even in the actual Human World.
"Mortal Cultivation?"
"You’re in the Innate Realm? How many times have you performed Innate Life-taking?"
The Silver Robe’s smile vanished as he asked the question.
"I’m not in the Innate Realm..."
Su Chen shook his head, telling the truth.
But the cry from the sword in the Sword Box behind him grew ever louder.
At this.
The atmosphere grew even more silent.
"Tsk, tsk."
"And here I thought he was an Overseas Strong Dragon who’d performed Innate Life-taking. Turns out he’s just a country bumpkin who doesn’t know a thing."
"He probably has no idea what a Cultivator is, or about the Immortal Pavilion’s ranking system of Golden Robes and Silver Robes..."
The ten vendors all looked away.
"Hahaha!"
"Kid, you want to snatch my stall!"
"Today, I’ll show you what’s what..."
The white-robed vendor, now at ease, laughed boisterously and stepped forward.
He was laughing maniacally.
The only time one could fight in the Immortal Pavilion was during a stall skirmish. He was determined to beat this kid so badly that he’d willingly offer up all his Innate Lifespan to buy his Cultivation Technique.
"Alright!"
Su Chen nodded solemnly.
From the Sword Box, the Dust-Washing Sword continued its clear, low hum.
The presence of so many powerful Immortals had agitated it, making it yearn for another exhilarating battle like the one where it sundered the heavens.
However.
The white-robed man before him was too weak, merely at the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer.
Su Chen didn’t even need to draw his sword!
BANG!
A terrifying sonic boom erupted.
Su Chen extended his hand, palm up. A wisp of Burial Star Sword Intent formed in his palm and slashed out horizontally.
"Huh?"
"This..."
"How can you not be in the Innate Realm?! Just how many times have you performed the life-taking?!"
The white-robed vendor’s expression changed drastically. Scared out of his wits, he reached out to cast some powerful Immortal Skill, but it was too late.
His body exploded, vanishing without a trace, turning into a wisp of green smoke that drifted out of the Immortal Pavilion.
Only a Vendor Token fell to the ground, which Su Chen picked up.
’Did he just die?’
Su Chen wondered.
He still only had a partial understanding of the Immortal Pavilion.
The scene fell into Deathly Silence.
In an instant.
One Silver Robe and eight powerful white-robes—the nine remaining vendors—all shot to their feet, staring in horror at this terrifying strike of Mortal Cultivation, which came from an aura that felt so weak.
"Interesting."
"The level of that strike was roughly equivalent to a fifth life-taking, which is... the Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer?"
Even the lazy Golden Robe cast an interested glance.
After a long moment.
The Silver Robe finally broke the silence, his expression ugly and his tone extremely harsh.
"Your strike was strong enough to teleport him out of the Immortal Pavilion, and you still claim you aren’t an Innate Realm expert who has performed Innate Life-taking?"
’Unbelievable.’
He really was an Overseas Strong Dragon of Mortal Cultivation!
"So what if you’ve performed Innate Life-taking and are a powerful expert of the Innate Realm?"
"For Mortal Cultivation, there is no path forward!"
"What’s there to be so smug about?"
"Do you think you can withstand the nine of us High Tier Qi Cultivation experts if we attack together?"
The nine vendors closed in on Su Chen together.
