Seed of Dao

New world

"Finally dead!"

Ye Chen panted and sighed heavily almost unable to hold back his heart beating loudly.

The battle just now actually wasn't long, only ten breaths, but battle between cultivators was truly decisive. If not for the effect of the soul bell becoming weaker when used the third time, Ye Chen might not have been able to avoid the last fireball.

Fortunately Guo Biyun was momentarily careless when seeing the small sword in his hand, if not, the one who would die might be him.

But everything had ended, and Ye Chen gained some insights in battle.

Looking back at Guo Biyun who was no longer alive with wide eyes, Ye Chen clicked his tongue, and inevitably remembered a proverb: Animals die for food, while humans die for greed.

That proverb truly fit Guo Biyun's characteristics. If he hadn't been too greedy, and was satisfied with one storage pouch, Ye Chen wouldn't have tried desperately to kill him.

Unfortunately....

Ye Chen could only shake his head and search Guo Biyun's corpse. One golden bell, and several talisman papers finally became his harvest.

Judging from the four talisman papers, where one paper talisman was already split was likely the shield talisman he cut before.

As for the other three, those must be fireball talismans, because all three had the same aura and cinnabar scrawls. Unfortunately, one of the fire talismans no longer had spiritual aura, even the brilliance of its calligraphy had faded. It surely couldn't be used anymore.

Ye Chen also wasn't greedy, he was satisfied with the two talismans that could still be used, moreover when he took the small golden bell that had soul attack.

After making sure there was nothing else useful on Guo Biyun's body, Ye Chen immediately left the place without bothering to bury him.

Don't joke, although Ye Chen knew Guo Biyun for some time, he would never care about a cunning monk like him. Moreover he was also injured quite badly and had to immediately find shelter so he could heal his wounds.

Several days later, in a small cave, Ye Chen who had fully recovered from the battle with Guo Biyun, held the golden bell in his hand, and thought.

"Different from talismans that seem to have certain usage limits, this soul bell seems unlimited." Ye Chen had examined the three things he obtained from Guo Biyun and knew how to use them.

Those three things weren't as troublesome as the small sword or storage pouch. Ye Chen only needed to send a certain amount of qi into those three objects, and they would automatically release attacks.

Especially for the golden bell, Ye Chen really liked it. Besides because there was no special technique to use it, it was a hidden attack that attacked the opponent's soul. Although the duration of soul confusion at most was only two breaths, and the effect would be weaker when continuously used on the same person, undoubtedly it was an opening.

In intense battle, if the opponent suddenly became confused even if only one breath, that truly determined the battle's outcome.

"Alright, it's time to go."

Ye Chen stood up and began to store the bell, two talismans and of course his two storage pouches.

Learning from previous events, Ye Chen didn't dare to show his wealth implicitly anymore. He didn't want to meet and deal with people like Guo Biyun again. Moreover the qi refinement first level cultivation he had now was truly like a fat sheep.

On the journey, Ye Chen also became more careful. For the first time since becoming an immortal cultivator, he became unwilling to meet other cultivators. Impossible, with his current strength, Ye Chen wasn't confident to keep maintaining his life.

A month later, when Ye Chen finally arrived in front of Commonwealth City, he also began to act humbly. Because although he hadn't entered the city, he had already seen many other cultivators going in and out of the city.

Although not many, these cultivators were also the most he had found so far. Besides, the auras they released were also far stronger than himself.

There was no guarantee if they didn't want the things he possessed. So, Ye Chen began to think to remain careful and as much as possible not to attract attention.

Looking back at the very high and seemingly strong city walls, Ye Chen finally realized that it seemed he was very, very weak.

Setting aside other cultivators, right when Ye Chen would enter the gate after finishing queuing, he felt there was a sharp gaze that always examined him. He didn't know who did it, but Ye Chen couldn't hold back the worried feeling in his heart.

"Ten gold coins to enter the city." A city guard suddenly said to him.

Ye Chen, seeing that the city guard was actually a mortal human couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This was the first time an ordinary human spoke with an indifferent tone to him.

But he knew, he couldn't underestimate them and obediently gave ten gold coins before entering the city.

Commonwealth City, it was truly a prosperous city. After Ye Chen entered, he found that buildings and people appeared to walk around without caring about status. Whether cultivators or ordinary humans, all looked the same.

Looking left and right, and seeing buildings and people selling along the road, Ye Chen who came from a village couldn't help but feel amazed.

Entering deeper into the city, Ye Chen finally saw strange goods he had never encountered before. Not just goods, he also felt that the people selling in the innermost city weren't just ordinary humans. From one of the people selling, Ye Chen found that actually he was an immortal cultivator, and what he sold were also things useful for immortal cultivators.

From there, Ye Chen finally learned that the paper talisman he now possessed turned out to have the name low-level small fire talisman. Besides small fire talismans, black stone shield talismans, water talismans, wind and even lightning talismans were also available.

When witnessing such new things, Ye Chen was truly fascinated and couldn't wait to buy them, but unfortunately, they didn't accept silver or gold coin money, they only wanted spirit stones.

Spirit stones, Ye Chen saw someone take them out, and finally found that they were like milky white crystals with pure spiritual aura hanging inside them. It seemed spirit stones were also the main currency for cultivators.

At this time, when Ye Chen suddenly arrived at one seller who opened a leather mat, he found a fruit that wasn't unfamiliar to him.

"Fellow Daoist , do you want this Temper fruit?" The seller, who was a thin young man said when finding Ye Chen looking at one of the fruits.

"What is Temper fruit?" Ye Chen didn't answer, but asked with curiosity.

"Don't you know?" The seller looked at Ye Chen from top to bottom before finally understanding and answering, "It seems you're a rogue cultivator who just entered the cultivation world. I understand, how about this. Just ask what you want to know, and I'll answer everything for ten spirit stones."

Hearing the seller's suggestion, Ye Chen immediately left without thinking about it.

Ten spirit stones? Although Ye Chen could be said to be a bumpkin, he knew how valuable spirit stones were. Giving ten spirit stones just for information, Ye Chen would prefer to buy a low-level water element training formula, which allowed him to practice up to qi refinement third level.

Unfortunately he also didn't have spirit stones at all. Maybe there were some in the storage pouches.

Thinking about the storage pouches, Ye Chen immediately looked for people selling them and asked several things.
