Chapter 186: Can My Earth Youth Endure Tortures?
Translator: 549690339
To be honest, even without the Zhen Family’s monitoring and targeting, Zhu Wuwan actually didn’t dare to improve too quickly.
In other words, he dared to reveal his true strength.
According to the common sense of the cultivation world, at Zhu Wuwan’s age, it was already very good for ordinary cultivators to reach the third layer of the Qi Refinement realm. Prodigies could enter the middle stage of the Qi Refinement realm.
Even those Heaven’s Favorites who only appeared once in a thousand years would only reach the late stage of the Qi Refinement realm at the age of seventeen. If they were any higher, there would be a problem.
Zhu Wuan was just an immortal cultivator who had entered the path through martial arts. Under normal circumstances, his spirit root would not be too good. If he revealed too much strength and his cultivation foundation was extremely stable, his improvement speed would be unimaginable…Even a fool would know that there was a problem.
There were many old fellows who had lived for hundreds of years in the cultivation world. Their wisdom and shrewdness were beyond imagination, and they were far from what Zhu Wuyang could compare to.
If Zhu Wuyan dared to reveal his cultivation progress, these old fellows would definitely be able to sense that there was something wrong with him. At that time, Zhu Wuyan would be in trouble.
Even if they wouldn’t be dissected and analyzed, they would at least be imprisoned and tortured to think of a way to obtain the opportunities on Zhu Wuwan.
Although Zhu Wuyang still had a certain degree of confidence in his willpower, if he really had to endure being cut into pieces, being branded, and being skinned…Zhu Wuwan felt that it would be very difficult for her to withstand such torture.
It couldn’t be said that Zhu Wanwan was weak and incompetent. An ordinary young man who had transmigrated from modern society on Earth was at most a fitness expert who was slightly better than ordinary people. He could endure ordinary punishments, but he believed that not many idiots on Earth could withstand some ancient torture.
After a few months of cultivation, Zhu Wuwan felt that her willpower had improved. It should, probably, probably…He should be able to withstand some torture.
However, there were many methods of interrogation in the cultivation world that were more terrifying than the torture in the secular world. Zhu Wuwan was not confident that she could survive it. At that time, she would inevitably spill the beans and reveal the matter of the cheat, which would be taken away by others.
Therefore, for the sake of her own safety, Zhu Wuwan felt that it was better to suppress it appropriately. Even if she really wanted to improve quickly without caring about anything, she should find a reasonable excuse.
At the moment, it was better to accumulate more medicinal herbs, waste pills, and spirit pills…It was better!
Most of the medicinal herbs, dregs, and waste pills on Huoyuan Peak Zhu Wuwan had secretly hidden three of them. In total, there were thousands of them. The remaining ones that were not hidden were either too precious and Zhu Wuwan did not dare to hide them, or they were too rare and there were very few of them on Huoyuan Peak.
Even if he stayed in Huoyuan Peak for the rest of his life, the speed of collecting these things would be very slow. In addition, Zhu Wuyang was already able to refine low-grade middle-grade spirit pills.
After some consideration, Zhu Wuyang decided to walk out!
After all, he couldn’t keep hiding the medicinal herbs of Huoyuan Peak to refine all kinds of pills. If he did that, he would be discovered sooner or later. Moreover, the efficiency of collecting medicinal herbs would be much slower. It was better to buy various medicinal herbs outside and refine suitable pills to sell in exchange for more resources.
However, the first bucket of gold naturally had to be obtained from Huoyuan Peak. Zhu Wuwan spent another half a month or so to secretly hide a batch of medicinal herbs and refine them into spirit pills. Only then did he disguise himself and leave Huoyuan Peak.
On the way, he even met the young cultivator sent by Zhen Ji to Huo Yuan Peak to keep an eye on him. The other party took a glance at him and then stopped paying attention to him. He did not know that the person he was keeping an eye on had left right in front of him.
It was shocking that the quality of the monitor was so low!
Hundred Poisons Sect, Light Summit, Free Bazaar.
Light Summit was located at the edge of Hundred Poisons Sect and was almost out of the Protective Mountain Array. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was extremely scarce, but the summit was very flat.
Every day, the sun shone on this place, shining brightly. That was why it was called Light Summit. It was also a free market for the disciples of the Hundred Poisons Sect. All the disciples of the Hundred Poisons Sect could set up stalls here to sell their own items.
From time to time, there would be unaffiliated people from the outside world coming here to trade. Gradually, it became the most famous free market in the surrounding tens of thousands of miles.
This was Zhu Wuan’s target. He had refined nearly a hundred spirit pills these past few days and was prepared to use them to exchange for a batch of medicinal herbs and some things he needed.
After leaving Huoyuan Peak, Zhu Wuyang deliberately went to the outside of Hundred Poisons Sect and put on a bamboo hat. As an unspecialized, she passed through the passage that Hundred Poisons Sect had prepared for unspecialized outsiders and entered the free market of Light Summit.
“One big one, two big one. I’m not selling ordinary cucumbers. I’m selling golden thread fish. They’re top-grade golden thread fish. After eating them, they can nourish immortal meridians and gather spiritual qi. One of them only costs one low-grade spirit stone.”
” This wasn’t made by a big lady, nor was it embroidered by a little lady. This is a spiritual armor personally woven by a fairy of the Zhen Clan. It can be blocked by simple spells and low-grade magic tools…Each one costs only five low-grade spirit stones.”
“Selling Vermilion Fruits…Selling Vermilion Fruit…A hundred-year-old Vermilion Fruit is one low-grade spirit stone, a two-hundred-year-old Vermilion Fruit is three low-grade spirit stones, and a three-hundred-year-old Vermilion Fruit is ten low-grade spirit stones…”
As soon as he entered the free market, Zhu Wuwan heard the lively cries of hawkers. It gave people the feeling of entering a secular market, which was quite down-to-earth.
One by one, the Immortal Cultivators transformed into peddlers and pawns, clamoring with all their might, all wanting to sell their items for a good price. It was quite interesting to watch.
One had to know that these official cultivators had a high status, comparable to emperors in the mortal world. In the end, they were all gathered here to sell their goods. If the mortal world saw this, who knew how shocked they would be.
However, Zhu Wanhao wasn’t ready to set up a stall to sell his goods for the time being. He planned to stroll around the market first to see if there was anything he wanted. If he couldn’t find it, he would set up a stall to sell his goods and exchange for what he needed.
” Congratulations to the host for seeing a market for cultivators for the first time in your life. You have obtained three Breakthrough Stones…”
“Congratulations to the host for seeing the Immortal Cultivator Zhu Yujie set up a stall for the first time in his life. You have received 0.1 breakthrough stone…”
As expected, what he saw and heard in the free market brought Zhu Wuwan some breakthrough stones. However, many of the system notifications were too small, so Zhu Wuwan was not in the mood to look at them.
There were many cultivators wearing bamboo hats and hats in the market, and some even wore masks. They clearly didn’t want others to know their true identities, in case they were robbed and killed by other cultivators.
There were quite a lot of people in situations like Zhu Wuyang’s. Zhu Wuyang’s dressing was not strange, so no one would take a second look.
Zhu Wanhao felt much more at ease. He freely shuttled around the market, looking for a suitable target. This market didn’t disappoint him.
