At this moment, two more cultivators walked over swiftly. One of them, without waiting to approach, impatiently called out, "Fellow Daoist Chen, what's going on? I'm in a hurry to get home. Why aren't we leaving yet? If you keep delaying, I'll find someone else to travel with."The other cultivator frowned and added, "Are you still trying to get more people? Never mind him, can we just pay extra and get going?"Chu Xuan couldn't help but smile internally. However, he maintained an expression of thoughtfulness on his face, pretending to contemplate the offer for a long moment before finally gritting his teeth and replying, "Fellow Daoist Chen, what you don't know is that although I made quite a bit from selling the demon soul talismans, the cost of production is also quite high.""The profit this time isn't as much as it seems... sigh... Honestly, I do have some tricks up my sleeve. If someone really does target me..." He paused for effect. "I'm not someone who can just be easily dealt

As Dong Wei struggled, his eyes bulged out, and blood began to seep from his body. The Blue Tuft Silk had completely ensnared him.In his desperation, he roared, and with one final effort, he tried to escape by using his Nascent Soul to break free, retreating into the spiritual realm. But before he could make his escape, two massive hands emerged from the darkness, effortlessly grabbing his Nascent Soul.And then, in the eerie, chilling darkness, there was a terrifying presence. It was the unmistakable, clawed grip of a Ghost King!Wang Pengjie's fate, however, was a bit more straightforward. Hu's speed was slightly slower than Long's, giving Wang Pengjie just enough time to raise a large shield to protect himself. But just as he was about to unleash more magic treasures to strike back at Hu, the giant fist of Hu descended.There was a thunderous crash.Wang Pengjie, along with his defensive magic treasure, was sent crashing into the ground. His body, along with the shattered remnants

In the blink of an eye, ten years passed. Chu Xuan's internal aura surged explosively, as though an ancient giant elephant was about to burst forth, roaring through the heavens!"It's done!"He opened his eyes, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.After ten years of painstaking cultivation and consuming massive amounts of whale meat, he had indeed broken through to the 42nd level of body refinement.The 42nd level of body refinement was equivalent to the second stage of Deity Transformation.However, lacking martial techniques, he was essentially a powerhouse in raw strength but was not yet able to contend directly with a second-stage Deity Transformation cultivator.Still, with his formidable physical prowess, as long as he closed the distance to a first-stage Deity Transformation cultivator, that opponent would be heavily injured in the blink of an eye. Within seven steps, his fists were both fierce and fast!"It's time to return to Desolate Island. It's been more than a year, t

Chen Huozhao and Chen Xin even paid him a visit, bringing a small gift to show their appreciation. However, they stayed for only a short while before claiming urgent matters and leaving in a hurry. Whether it was a genuine emergency or an excuse, no one could say.Chu Xuan's small business had earned a good reputation. Within less than two hours, all the Demon Soul Talismans he had put out were snapped up.Of course, not everyone came with the intent to pay. Some tried to take advantage of the situation.Chu Xuan's solution was simple. Their bodies were concealed within the Heavenly Corpse Tower, while their heads were placed at the entrance of the stone house. A slight reminder to some, and the rest of the cultivators quickly understood what was expected of them.Especially after witnessing how Chu Xuan had casually slain a Nascent Soul cultivator at the seventh level, who had caused trouble.Those who came to buy talismans soon became well-behaved. Each of them practically rushed to

The cultivators around were in shock, murmuring among themselves.Chu Xuan's eyes lit up when he saw the figure draped in a cloak—this was the very same shameless Deity Transformation cultivator he had noticed earlier!He had been wondering how to discreetly apply the beast-luring incense, and now, it seemed that this person had been spotted by White Bone True Master!This was great. He could save the precious incense for another time. But how had White Bone True Master discovered him? Could it be…?Chu Xuan smirked to himself. "Could White Bone True Master also be hiding his cultivation and sneaking into the island?"Thinking about it, it seemed perfectly reasonable.A grand Deity Transformation cultivator, always involved in some underhanded deeds. Chu Xuan watched the spectacle with amusement, not feeling the least bit guilty. After all, he was just a small Nascent Soul cultivator—what could he have done wrong?"Who are you? Why have you trespassed on Desolate Island?" White Bone T
