The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222: The Auction

In Heavenly Sword City, at the Pill Pavilion.

Early morning found Chu Xuan as usual, arriving early at the shop he had rented. After brewing himself a pot of tea, he lay back in a wicker chair to browse through alchemical texts.

A young figure hurried over. "Master He! I'm here!" the young cultivator chuckled, "Master He is always so early."

"Just in time, little Ze," Chu Xuan said casually. "I'm going to stroll around other parts of Pill Pavilion. You can mind the shop for me."

"Yes!" the young cultivator replied respectfully.

Chu Xuan's reputation as the cultured and elegant Master He was well-established. Coupled with his first-rate alchemical skills and exquisite techniques, many cultivators desired to serve him in exchange for some medicinal pills.

Chu Xuan did not choose mid or late-stage Golden Core cultivators as they were strong and difficult to control. He only selected from those at the early stage of Golden Core, ultimately choosing this young early-stage Golden Core cultivator named He Ze.

He Ze hailed from Holy Sound Star, where the Celestial Sound Zen Temple was located, and was a Golden Core cultivator from a minor sect called Longevity View. When the Reincarnation Divine Church distributed battlefield tokens, He Ze was extremely lucky—a token had appeared hundreds of zhang away from him. He obtained the battlefield token effortlessly and thus came to the extraterritorial battlefield.

However, in this extraterritorial battlefield, Golden Core cultivators were common, and early-stage Golden Core cultivators were at the very bottom of the hierarchy.

Since arriving in Heavenly Sword City, He Ze had always been cautious, never venturing too far from the city. Even when going out to clear ancient beast carcasses, he always went in the company of trustworthy cultivators. He was exceptionally prudent and careful.

Chu Xuan valued him for his weak strength and cautious nature, assigning him to handle tedious affairs. For instance, when Chu Xuan went out to purchase alchemy materials, he would have He Ze mind the shop.

Moreover, Chu Xuan's fame had spread widely, attracting cultivators from cities like Righteous Dao City, Majestic Sword City, and Celestial Sound City, all of whom came specifically to request his alchemical services. With so many cultivators visiting at different times, Chu Xuan couldn't possibly handle each request personally. These requests were taken care of by He Ze.

Since He Ze's arrival, Chu Xuan had become even more leisurely, something he quite enjoyed.

"Master He! Do you know there's been a major event recently?" He Ze suddenly exclaimed.

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow, "What's the matter?"

He Ze excitedly reported, "It seems you haven't heard yet. I heard from others that in a few days, the Heavenly Sword City is going to host a large-scale auction. Elder Ximen of the Majestic Sword Sect will personally preside over it!"

Chu Xuan's interest was piqued, "What kinds of items will be auctioned?" _{fгeewebnovёl.com}

He Ze thought for a moment, "Nascent Soul spiritual items! Top-tier Soul Condensation techniques! High-grade magic treasures! Premium cultivation manuals! A lot of things, really! Do you have an interest as well, Master He? I'll go and gather some detailed information for you and bring it back soon."

Chu Xuan's eyes lit up. Indeed, fortune favors the bold. Finally, there was news about a top-tier Soul Condensation technique. Although acquiring it through auction might cost more spirit stones, that was not a concern.

He had some savings, and if he could directly purchase the technique, there would be no need for further conflicts. He mainly disliked strife, not because it might lead to injury, reveal his secrets, or bring unwanted trouble, but simply because he preferred peace.

His identity as Master He was perfect for making money, and few would question where his spirit stones came from—after all, an alchemist was synonymous with wealth!
