Cthulhu Mythos In Cultivation World novel Chapter 2

The feast and the food nearly made the Black Merchant addicted. Even these foods have deficient spiritual qi nurturing effects, But the out of this world taste of these foods still amazes him. He also thought of sparing Zhu Wushang life and enslaving him to his will and let him be his personal chef forever. After he already eliminates or confines the threat he had felt from him of course.

After the feast has ended, Everyone starts to talk about trivial things for a while, the atmosphere becomes more and more lively until Xiao Lan brings Zhu Wushang out for fishing at the Green Lake.

The Black merchant looking at Qin Xue’er then nodded at her. Everyone in the dining room face was solemn. With the hand gesture from Zhu Yinbing, all of the manor servants quickly leave the dining room. The Black merchant then waves his hand to create the spiritual barrier to block all the voice within this room.

“I must admit, The food here is very impressive; I'm totally convinced. So miss Qin or should I say, your Majesty? What do you want from me to invite me to this feast using one-third of the spirits crystal mine in your empire as a guarantee.” Black merchant said with a businesslike smile.

“Your Majesty! You using one-third of our empire spirit crystal mine as a guarantee?” Both Zhu Songtian and Zhu Yinbing exclaim in panic, but Qin Xue’er waves her hand to tell them to stop being panicked.

“Call me as you will sir Black Merchant I don’t mind.” She said then continued after sipping her tea.

“The reason why I invite you here is to ask you for a favor.”

This sentence intrigues The Black merchant very much, he asks.

“Oh? What is it? Since I’m in a good mood. Do you want me to tell you the critical information about the Tian dynasty enemy or you even want me to personally kill all of them?”

The Black merchant asks in a good mood, He’s the most powerful person in this realm after all. The word powerful includes his great influence over many factions within this realm, Even the upper realm that’s stronger than this realm still needs to give him face.

This Black merchant debuted as a very powerful rogue cultivator 1500 years ago. He’s the youngest person that can reach beyond the Ascension realm at the age of 20. During his time, He exterminates 10 prominent sects and 1 ancient sect within this realm, none of those sect members survive. His strength made the last remaining ancient sect to call all the righteous sects at that time to have a crusade against him.

The result? Every member of all the sects that join in that crusade had been slaughtered. There’s many witnesses that told the tale of this grand battle that the blood from all of the expert corpses in that war had formed a black blood river at the eastern of the imperial continent.

His domineering and cruelty from that war made everyone give him a nickname “Venerable Black River” to remind themself of his power and domineering. After that war, he retires from the cultivator road and builds a massive trading organization that name “The Profound trading association” and changes his name to The Black merchant and styles himself as a suave and cunning businessman.

Many years have passed and the Profound trading association becomes a giant organization that has any type of goods including the information of all the nations and notable characters of the world for sale.

Many factions that were arrogant or ignorant enough to provoke them had vanished with time until no one dared to mess with them.

That’s why no one in this room gets angry at the Black Merchant even though he is a bit arrogant to the person in a high position like Qin Xue’er.

Qin Xue’er chuckles before telling him.

“Thank you for your consideration sir Black merchant, but there’s no need. All I want to ask for sir Black Merchant is that I wish for sir to find a way for that child Zhu Wushang to be able to cultivate spiritual qi. That’s all I wish.”

The Black merchant faces quickly turn solemn.

“You mean, The child that was sitting opposite me?”

Qin Xue’er nodded.

Black merchants think for a bit and see that this is an opportunity to know more about that child.

“Then you need to tell me everything about that child to me. What happens when he’s in his mother's womb does anything happen to her during that time? Or what happened when he was born?” This time he asked while looking at the Zhu Couple like he already knew that they were Zhu Wushang parents.

The Zhu couple looking at each other before decided to tell him everything.

“Sir Black merchant… Please keep this as a secret between all of us here and never bring it out of this room.” Zhu Yinbing pleading with a severe face.

After the Black Merchant nodded, Zhu Yinbing then continued.

“Actually… Zhu Wushang isn’t our biological son, we adopted him 12 years ago since we found him alone at the outer layer of the Great forest of nowhere.”
