Chapter 59: The Auction House
Kael followed the flow of the crowd toward the auction house. The further he went, the denser the crowd became.Soon, a magnificent building appeared before him.The auction house stood several stories tall, its walls constructed from polished black stone. Intricate formations covered the entrance, faintly glowing with spiritual energy.But what caught Kael's attention were the entrances.There wasn't just one. Several entrances had been arranged around the front of the building, and each one had a large stone pillar beside it.A price was carved into every pillar.Kael stopped to take a look.The cheapest entrance required ten low-grade spirit stones. The next required fifty.Another required one hundred. The prices continued increasing.Kael raised an eyebrow. “So they charge according to the seating area?”A nearby attendant smiled politely.“Yes, sir. The auction house has several levels of seating.”He pointed toward the entrances.“The first level is the ordinary hall. The secon
Chapter 58: The Crowded Street
Kael stepped out of the shop with a smile on his face.The old shopkeeper had looked completely different by the time their transaction was finished.Kael, on the other hand, felt rather satisfied.He had exchanged only one of the three piles of beast cores, yet the amount of spirit stones he had received was already substantial.He was rich and that was only the beginning.Kael walked down the street, casually observing the shops around him.The Central City truly deserved its reputation. Almost everything a cultivator could need was being sold here. After walking for a while, Kael entered another shop.Unlike the larger establishments along the main streets, this one was tucked away in a quiet corner.Perfect. He repeated the process. Another pile of beast cores appeared.The shopkeeper's expression changed immediately.By the time the transaction was complete, Kael's collection of spirit stones had increased considerably once again.He walked out of the shop feeling even more satis
Chapter 57 Trading Beast cores
The Central City was completely different from the quiet places Kael had become accustomed to.The streets were packed.Cultivators from various sects walked past him in groups, their uniforms displaying different symbols.Merchants shouted from both sides of the road.Stalls had been erected everywhere, with people selling almost anything a cultivator could possibly need.Talismans, weapons, spirit herbs, alchemy ingredients, magical treasures, monster hides, beast cores. Even rare materials taken from ancient ruins.The street was filled and bustling. Kael walked through the crowd without paying much attention to the commotion.He had one objective before anything else.Money.More specifically, he needed to exchange his beast cores for spiritual stones.He had accumulated a ridiculous number of them during his time outside the city.And although he had already divided the collection into three portions, even one portion was far too large to carry around openly.He needed a shop th
Chapter 56 The Journey to the Central City
Lucy stood outside her parents' house with Nova in her arms.Her mother gently reached out and took the little girl from her.“Don't worry,” she said with a warm smile. “We'll take care of her.”Lucy looked at Nova and smiled.“Be a good girl for Grandma and Grandpa.”Nova nodded obediently.“I will.”Lucy leaned forward and kissed her forehead.“Goodbye, sweetheart.”“Goodbye, Mama.”Lucy hugged her parents before stepping back.“Take good care of her.”Her father chuckled.“You don't have to worry. She's our granddaughter. We'll spoil her properly.”Lucy smiled.“I know.”She glanced toward Kael, who was standing nearby.They were supposed to attend the Decennial Trade Fair in the Central City. However, with Nova still so young, they had decided that Lucy would remain behind with her parents while Kael went ahead to handle the trip.Kael walked over and gently touched Nova's head.“I'll be back soon.”Nova looked at him.“Bring me something.”Kael laughed.“Something from the trade

"I know." "You missed so many things!" "So?" Nova's eyes widened with excitement. "I learned how to catch birds!" Kael's smile twitched. "Birds?" "Well..." She hesitated. "I didn't catch one." Lucy covered her mouth, trying not to laugh. Nova continued quickly. "But I almost caught one!" Kael nodded seriously. "That's impressive." "I also saw three rabbits, two blue butterflies, and a bird with a really long tail!" She continued talking without taking a breath. "And Mommy made me practice cultivation, but I didn't like sitting still." "I see." "And yesterday I found a huge beetle." "A dangerous one?" Nova shook her head. "No. Mommy said it was harmless." Kael nodded. His daughter had changed so much. Six years ago, she had been only a tiny child. Now she was old enough to run through the forest, recognize different beasts, and chatter endlessly about everything she had seen. A strange warmth filled his chest. Then Nova suddenly grabbed his face. "Daddy." "Hm?"
Chapter 54: The Ninth-Stage Beast Core
The sword descended. BOOM! Guardian Energy exploded from the blade as it struck the Dragon-Scaled Snake's head. Yet— CLANG! The sword failed to split its skull. Instead, the blade struck between two overlapping scales. Kael's eyes narrowed. From his previous fights with the beasts earlier he had figured out his weak point. using his sword technique and with it's now weak defenses it wanted to sever it in one strike. Most of his strike earlier had been in that particular spot just after it's head, in it's neck region and the previous battle had already damaged that section of the snake's body. The scales had been weakened, and his earlier strike had cut deeply into the flesh beneath them. Blood sprayed everywhere but the snake wasn't dead yet. It twisted violently, its enormous body smashing against the cavern walls still fighting for it's life. It had already realized that it would die if it didn't escape. it crashed into the walls trying to find an escape route but
