Chapter 216: Killing Murong Chen, Underground Trade Fair, Sima Yun
"Very well!"
Seeing Murong Cheng strike first, Yan Cangwu's eyes flashed with excitement. Instantly, his mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation erupted with power.
At the same time.
Zhang Fujiang also wielded his spirit weapon and charged towards Murong Cheng.
Underground.
The Earth Dragon Beast King burst forth from the soil, its massive jaws aiming to devour Murong Cheng's legs.
Qin Wang's own mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation burst forth. He reached into his storage bag, and immediately, the Savage God’s Left Hand appeared. He wielded it and swung it fiercely forward.
A blood-colored hand, thirty yards long, descended from the sky and aimed to smash Murong Cheng from above.
"What is this..."
"The Blood Qi Hand... You... You are Li Yunye!"
Seeing the enormous, thirty-yard-long blood-colored hand emitting a terrifying aura, Murong Cheng's eyes widened in shock and horror.
A sense of life-and-death crisis enveloped Murong Cheng. He used all his defensive charms from his storage bag, but it was futile.
Under this terrifying Blood Qi Hand, the protective shield created by his defensive charms collapsed layer by layer.
"No!"
Murong Cheng screamed in despair.
Recently.
Because of the death of Qi Feng's divine sense avatar, a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty, at the hands of a Foundation Establishment cultivator named Li Yunye, the name Li Yunye had spread throughout the entire Southern Region.
According to the rumors.
The magical treasure used by Li Yunye was a giant hand-shaped magical treasure capable of creating a blood-colored handprint nearly a hundred yards long!
He knew that if Li Yunye could kill Qi Feng's divine sense avatar, he, as a late Foundation Establishment cultivator, would be no match for him.
What he wanted to do was find news of Li Yunye and then sell it to the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty in exchange for a reward.
But he didn’t expect.
Just as he left the cave, he encountered two random Foundation Establishment cultivators and thought they were easy prey. He didn’t expect that this prey was too tough for him to swallow.
Boom!
A huge roar sounded, and the mountain crumbled and rocks shattered!
Murong Cheng, a late Foundation Establishment cultivator, was struck and sent flying, crashing into the mountain wall behind, creating a human-shaped dent.
A faint transparent soul floated up from Murong Cheng's corpse, which was his spirit.
Qin Wang’s figure flashed as he took out the Soul Gathering Bowl and moved forward, collecting Murong Cheng's soul into the Soul Gathering Space. Then he removed Murong Cheng’s storage bag from his waist and stored his body.
"Nice, a late Foundation Establishment puppet. I’ll take it back and refine it a bit! Another good helper!"
"This trip was not in vain!"
Qin Wang’s eyes showed satisfaction.
Currently.
The highest-level puppet in his storage bag was Chu Chuchen and Murong Tai, both mid-Foundation Establishment. Now, with the addition of a late Foundation Establishment puppet, it was a significant gain!
Zhang Fujiang and Yan Cangwu cleaned up the battle scene, destroying any traces.
Qin Wang then opened Murong Cheng’s storage bag.
According to the information, Murong Cheng had obtained an item from a Foundation Establishment loose cultivator, which included a Dragon Saliva Spirit Fruit that could help Little White progress.
Soon, he found a sandalwood box with a sealing talisman in Murong Cheng’s storage bag. Qin Wang tore open the seal and found a fruit the size of a fist inside.
This fruit was a pale yellow, with patterns resembling both dragons and snakes, looking very extraordinary.
Rich fruit aroma spread from the fruit.
"Little White."
Qin Wang reached into his spirit beast bag, and Little White appeared before him, standing on its hind legs, raising its paws, and showing affection towards Qin Wang.
Upon seeing the fruit in Qin Wang's hand, Little White’s eyes immediately widened in excitement and anticipation.
"This is for you."
Qin Wang placed the Dragon Saliva Spirit Fruit in front of Little White.
"Ji ji~~~"
Little White chirped happily a few times and pounced on the fruit, starting to gnaw on it.
"Go eat it in the spirit beast bag."
Qin Wang waved his hand, putting Little White and the Dragon Saliva Spirit Fruit into the storage bag. At this moment, Zhang Fujiang and Yan Cangwu had also cleaned up the scene. The three of them then sped off towards the east.
350 miles away from Taikang Immortal City.
Wo Hu Mountain Villa.
A middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a brocade robe and with an imposing demeanor, sat cross-legged in a training room. In front of him was an incense burner, with sandalwood smoke rising gently.
The light smoke created a hazy effect on his face.
"Head of the family!"
At this moment, an old man in his fifties appeared outside the training room, respectfully cupping his hands.
"Yuzhi, do you have any news about the Xuanying Iron?"
Sima Yun looked at the old man with an expression of anticipation.
"Head of the family, not yet. There is a small-scale underground Foundation Establishment trade fair in Taikang Immortal City in five days. I plan to go and inquire then."
The old man respectfully cupped his hands and replied.
"Mm, you’ve worked hard."
Sima Yun nodded to the old man.
The reason he needed Xuanying Iron was because he wanted to forge a magical treasure. Currently, his cultivation had reached the Fake Dan realm, and when advancing to the Golden Core realm, he would need a magical treasure. Therefore, he needed to prepare the materials for forging in advance.
In the family, he had already obtained most of the materials needed to forge magical treasures, but he was still short of the most crucial Xuanying Iron.
"Then Sima Yun will let his subordinates search for Xuanying Iron?"
"Preparing to attend the underground Foundation Establishment trade fair in five days?"
"Perfect timing!"
Twenty miles outside Wo Hu Mountain Villa, in a small courtyard, Qin Wang looked at the early morning intelligence on his panel, with a thoughtful expression in his eyes.
It seemed.
A trip to Taikang Immortal City was needed to attend the underground trade fair, bring out the Xuanying Iron, and specifically mention that he only wanted rare and peculiar fragments, to attract Sima Yun to exchange.
Otherwise.
It might be inappropriate to visit Sima Yun directly.
The underground trade fair was just right.
"The location of the underground trade fair is 320 miles northwest of Taikang Immortal City, at Qing Song Valley."
Qin Wang stood up, showing a contemplative look.
To attend the underground trade fair, one would need a familiar contact to gain entry. He decided to visit Sima Yun and offer him benefits, thus having a reasonable excuse.
Wo Hu Mountain Villa.
Sima Yun was sitting cross-legged when suddenly his subordinate Yuzhi’s voice sounded from outside the door. "Head of the family, there is a Foundation Establishment cultivator named Zhang Ani who requests an audience."
"Zhang Ani?"
Sima Yun was puzzled.
He did not know any Foundation Establishment cultivator named Zhang Ani. The name sounded quite ordinary.
"Let him in."
Sima Yun said in a deep voice.
"Yes, head of the family!"
Yuzhi immediately turned and left.
Soon, he returned with a Foundation Establishment cultivator in his thirties, who walked quickly.
"Zhang Ani, I am honored to meet the head of the Sima family. I apologize for coming without an invitation and for any disturbance caused!"
The thirty-something cultivator respectfully cupped his hands and greeted Sima Yun.
This person.
Was actually Qin Wang, using the alias Zhang Ani.
"Zhang Daoist is too polite. Please sit!"
Sima Yun waved his hand repeatedly. Yuzhi went to serve the spirit tea. Sima Yun looked at Qin Wang and asked, "I wonder what brings Zhang Daoist here? Do you have any instructions?"
"Head of the Sima family, it is like this."
Qin Wang cleared his throat and said, "I heard that there is an underground trade fair for Foundation Establishment cultivators in Taikang Immortal City. To enter this trade fair, one needs to be recommended or introduced by someone familiar. As a loose cultivator who likes to collect rare and peculiar items, I would like to go and take a look. I wonder if the head of the Sima family could facilitate this?"
Qin Wang smiled slightly as he spoke.
Then.
He waved his hand, and two bottles of Foundation Establishment Pills appeared on the table in front of Sima Yun.
Along the way.
Qin Wang had killed several people, including Chu Ping from the Celestial Chu Dynasty, Murong Chengao, Murong Tai, Murong Cheng from the Murong family, Yan Wushuang from the Dayan Immortal Dynasty, and Qi Yunfei. His storage bags contained many materials and rare items.
In particular, there were no less than hundreds of bottles of Foundation Establishment Pills.
Offering two bottles to Sima Yun in exchange for an introduction seemed reasonable.
