The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 325

Chapter 325 - Effortful in Pretending, Acting Quite Convincingly

Chu Xuan had long been aware of the existence of the Soul Transformation realm. After he searched through Leng Hanshuang's soul, he had learned about it.

Originally, if Leng Hanshuang had perfected her Nascent Soul stage, the Reincarnation Divine Sect's out-of-body ancestor, Wen Lingtian, would have granted her the Soul Transformation Secret Method. However, Leng Hanshuang had delivered her head to him instead.

In Chu Xuan's view, the Nascent Soul stage had always been divided into two realms. The first was the Nascent Soul realm, the stage where the Nascent Soul gradually grew stronger.

The second was the Soul Transformation realm, the stage where the Nascent Soul began to transform. This served as a foundation for the eventual condensation of the soul into the primordial spirit.

However, with the passage of time and the drastic changes in the world, many cultivators found that, in order to reach the Nascent Soul stage, they were already running out of their lifespan.

How could they afford to expend more resources and lifespan to cultivate an additional realm, just for a slight increase in the success rate of breaking through to the Deity Transformation stage?

To many Nascent Soul cultivators in the present day, even advancing to the mid or late stages of Nascent Soul was a far greater concern than attempting to break through to the Deity Transformation stage.

Of course, others might reject the Soul Transformation Secret Method. But Chu Xuan wanted it.

For him, a success rate of ninety-nine percent felt like no success at all. Since cultivating the Soul Transformation realm would increase his chances of breaking through to the Deity Transformation stage, it was only logical that he should pursue it.

He could tell that Shang Xingchen likely shared the same thought.

Jin Dafu smiled slightly. "Indeed, the Soul Transformation Secret Method is quite rare. This particular method of mine comes from an ancient cultivation cave in the extraterritorial battlefield. Compared to those from the Reincarnation Divine Sect, the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect, and our Exquisite Treasures Alliance, this ancient method consumes more resources and has some detrimental effects on the heavens, but it's cheap."

He raised three fingers. "It only costs three thousand Great Spirit Stones."

Chu Xuan cursed inwardly, thinking the price was a highway robbery, but his expression remained calm. "I'm not buying, just inquiring."

Shang Xingchen nodded in agreement. "Same here."

Jin Dafu chuckled and said no more.

Aside from the Soul Transformation Secret Method, none of the other items caught Chu Xuan's eye. However, at Shang Xingchen's suggestion, he did purchase some materials for refining corpses, ghosts, puppets, and poisons, spanning from the Qi Refining stage to the Golden Core stage. He nearly forgot that, after all, he was still the sect master of a sect.

"I've been so kind to my disciples, always thinking of them in times like this. They will surely cultivate diligently and repay the sect with their utmost loyalty," Chu Xuan thought, a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Jin Dafu clasped his hands and bowed. "Esteemed sirs, would it be possible for my Golden Dragon Caravan to set up a temporary Myriad Treasures Pavilion on your sect's plaza?"

"Rest assured," he continued, "we will operate only during the day and will withdraw to the ship by night. We will never wander aimlessly around your sect."

"I, Jin Dafu, have been in business for many years and understand such basic etiquette," he added with a smile.

Chu Xuan and Shang Xingchen exchanged a glance and both nodded in agreement.

Jin Dafu let out a sigh of relief. "That's wonderful. Thank you both, I will take my leave."

He quickly stood up, giving a slight bow before turning to leave, his face always bearing a warm and amiable smile.

As the saying goes, one does not strike a smiling face. Jin Dafu was a master at that.

Once Jin Dafu had departed, Chu Xuan turned to Shang Xingchen. "What's your take on this?"

Shang Xingchen replied calmly, "Seven parts are lies, three parts are truth. As for which is true and which is false, I can't tell yet."

Chu Xuan nodded slightly.

The sudden appearance of Jin Dafu's Golden Dragon Caravan on Mystic Azure Star raised suspicions. As a seasoned individual, it was only natural to speculate on the motives behind each of their movements.

Before Chu Xuan could speak, Shang Xingchen added, "Rest assured, Sect Master. I will keep an eye on Jin Dafu."

Chu Xuan nodded with satisfaction. "That's good. Let's go. It's time to meet that fellow daoist Zhong Hui."

Moments later, the two arrived at a side hall and met Zhong Hui from the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect. His wounds had been treated, and he was now sitting cross-legged to recuperate. Upon seeing Chu Xuan and Shang Xingchen, he immediately rose to his feet.
