Chapter 135: Choosing a option

At the Golden Core Realm, a cultivator's Spiritual Space barely grew; moreover, this realm was really not about growth and expansion but more about consolidation.

At this time, inside David's spiritual space, the multiple pillars from before had completely disappeared.

However, contrary to what one might expect, there was not a single crack that had appeared in David's spiritual space, but it looked firmer and more stable than before.

Beside David's Crystallization of Life, which was silently floating in the space in the form of a Triquetra, a small seed had appeared, silently absorbing the mana from the golden sea below.

The little thing looked cute as it greedily absorbed the mana.

This was his first Seed of Law.

At this time, all the cultivators had to do was to grow this little seed of Law.

Without even realizing it, David was already outside the settlement. The pungent smell of death seemed to pervade the surroundings.

Causing anyone who appeared at this place to frown almost automatically.

The once lush forest filled with a myriad variety of trees was completely leveled to the ground by the brutal battle.

Dried logs of wood, some half burnt, some painted with the red crimson blood of both cultivators and lightning wolves.

He paid no heed to the surroundings and slightly floated in the air, easily navigating through the chaotic ground beneath him.

Heading straight to the large cluster of people in front of him.

Sounds of cultivators dressed in working equipment echoed in the surroundings.

"North has been cleared, manager!"

"The East has also been cleared!"

Cultivators shouted and reported to Lyla. S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Lyla, dressed in a long overcoat, silently floated in the surroundings and examined the crowd working below, her eyes filled with seriousness.

The gentle wind caused her blue hair to flutter in the air.

Slowly David rose and arrived near her and spoke.

"Is this the last batch of Lightning wolves?" David didn't look at her but focused on the pile of lightning wolf corpses lying below his feet, all of them mangled beyond recognition.

"Yeah, we have finally managed to gather all the corpses," Lyla spoke without looking in his direction, her voice filled with relief.

All of these Lightning wolves' bodies were like a sharp blade hanging above the heads of all the residents of the small settlement, attracting the eyes of countless predators toward her small settlement.

Lyla was worried that if the corpses weren't dealt with quickly, it might result in another attack.

But thankfully they reacted fast and managed to salvage the situation.

Finally, she turned her head and looked in David's direction.

Her beautiful eyes filled with slight surprise as she muttered in her head.

"Still can't believe this guy is only in the Golden Core realm."

Although David was only at the Golden Core Realm, when it came to raw power, he might not lose out to Nascent Soul experts like her.

As an old-timer experienced in all kinds of situations, she didn't let her surprise show on her face.

"How much can you give me for this?" Lyla suddenly spoke and pointed her slender finger at the small hill below their feet.

At her words, David smiled and said, "Mrs. Lyla, I don't like beating around the bush. Just straight up tell me how much you want from me."

"Since Mr. David expects complete honesty, then let me speak. I expect at least five hundred spirit stones."

Of course, she was talking about five hundred mid-grade spirit stones. When cultivators got strong enough, they rarely dealt with low-grade spirit stones; most of the transactions were done in mid-grade spirit stones.

David had already checked the price that the bank was willing to offer, and it was roughly six hundred spirit stones.

And the price quoted by Lyla was also good. Even if he directly accepted, he would still be in for a sweet profit.

But he still had to pretend and negotiate; if he directly accepted the deal, it would be too suspicious.

David's thoughts moved like lightning, and in the next moment, a difficult expression appeared on his face as if Lyla's words had put him in a really tight spot.

"Mrs. Lyla, that's too much. These are just broken corpses, not some heavenly elixirs. The best I can do is four hundred spirit stones," David spread his hands in the air and spoke in a plain voice.

After hearing those words, sparks seemed to have appeared in the air, and the two of them started to argue, negotiating back and forth.

And only after a prolonged heated discussion did both of them manage to settle at four hundred-fifty spirit stones.

"The amount is a lot for someone like me, so it will take at least some days to mobilize such a large amount," David didn't directly give her the money but came up with a good excuse on the spot.

Even David was surprised by his own words, but he still had to do it.

Lyla calmly nodded her head; it was to be expected.

In the next moment, she flicked her wrist, and a purple document appeared in her hands.

"Ok, let's sign the agreement."

With those words, she threw the document to David, who caught it and glanced at it.

It was a generic contract with both parties swearing on their Spiritual Space to fulfill their promises in the time frame that they had agreed upon.

After taking one last look at the agreement, he poured a few drops of his Golden Mana inside the purple document and threw it once again towards Lyla.

Lyla caught it and repeated the same actions, and immediately the document burst into purple flame and merged with both parties.

If they failed to fulfill the terms of the contract, they would receive a severe backlash on their spiritual space, which no cultivator in any world would want.

Immediately David felt a rectangular rune appear inside his spiritual space, flickering with purple light and floating silently in the golden mana sea.

"Ok! I'm leaving. Don't forget to visit me sometime later." After signing the agreement, Lyla didn't stay around for long and left.

David also didn't need her to stay. After she left, he got to work and started moving and selling all the bodies lying on the ground.

In the next moment, he heard the sweet sound of a bank notification.

[600 mid-grade spirit stones have been credited to your account. Please continue to work hard!!]

David immediately grinned. On the other hand, the cultivators working below were surprised by the sudden disappearance of the mountains of corpses.

Some of them pointed their fingers at David and discussed in hushed voices.

"He is the newly promoted Golden Core Realm cultivator," a cultivator dressed in a yellow outfit spoke to his companions in a barely audible voice.

"Really? Wasn't he the same person who was buying corpses at an overpriced rate?"

"I also have hope. If someone dumb like him could break through to the Golden Core, then I also can," suddenly the man's companion cried out in a loud voice.

Immediately afterward, the cultivator in the yellow outfit tried to place his hand on the guy's face to shut him up.

Afraid the Golden Core Realm cultivator might hear him.

Indeed, the yellow-clad cultivator was spot on; David heard the loudmouth loud and clear and sighed.

Rumble!

A purple bolt of lightning suddenly fell on the man's hand out of the cloudless sky.

Although David had barely used any of his power, that was more than enough for Foundation Building Realm cultivators like this guy.

The yellow-clad cultivator immediately reacted and started to kowtow on the ground. "Senior, please forgive this ignorant one for his impudence."

David didn't even bother to glance in his direction and left.

If these guys had said these words behind his back, then he might not have cared, but to say these words in his presence... If he didn't do anything, this was going to set a bad precedent, and David might have to deal with more trouble in the future.

After a few seconds, David left the place behind, and finally, he had the time to choose.

David navigated through the bank's interface and quickly found the notification. Find your next favorite at m vl-em|p-yr

[Regretfully! You lost one of your clients today. However, the Bank of Eternal Origin can never suffer a loss.

Even if he died, the client will have to pay back somehow; therefore, his soul was captured. You now have the following options. Keep in mind that you can only choose one.

1 - Extract Client's Crystallization of Life (Raging wind, Grade - Uncommon)

2 - Extract Jack's memories from his birth till his death.

3 - Any item that the client owned in his lifetime.

4 - Do Nothing, let the compound interest do its thing and decide again when the Client dies in his next life.

Please note, as capturing the soul and imprisoning it requires a large amount of mana, you only have nine hours left to make a choice.]

This time, David decided to choose the option that he rarely chose before.

Without hesitation, he clicked on the third option.
