Cultivation World 27 The Unlucky Demon Cultivator

Xie Yunsui took out the sword he had just put away, and Ling Xiyuan also became alert.

I saw a ball of raging fire rushing towards me. Upon closer inspection, I found that it was the demon bear from before. It was already in a furious state, with flames burning all over its body.

There was another person on the monster bear's head.

This man was shirtless, with an unruly hairstyle, a small braid with a silver ring, and a strange pattern on his unruly face. He was holding the demon bear's ear with one hand and shouting loudly: "Get out of the way - get out of the way -"

It doesn't look like he's here to scam people.

Xie Yunsui and Ling Xiyuan retreated a distance at the same time, but they didn't expect the demon bear to rush straight towards the Linglong Tower, and with a bang, flames filled the air.

Fu Wenming, who was cutting the beast from inside, felt his hand tremble and severed the animal tendon. He raised his head suddenly and saw a distorted handsome face through the crystal clear tower.

Fu Wenming: “…”

The demon bear may have wanted to knock the foreign object on its head away by hitting it, but it underestimated the defense of Linglong Tower and hit itself dizzy.

Qi Yan didn't notice that there was a tower here out of nowhere, and was almost flattened on the tower by the impact. It took him a long time to pull himself out.

As soon as he landed, he heard the roar of the demon bear and rushed to punch it.

"Hey! Who's over there...fellow immortal? Don't just stand there and watch, come and help!"

…

Finally, we got rid of this demon bear.

Xie Yunsui looked at the demon bear's horrific head and couldn't help but look at Qi Yan twice.

This man's physical strength was truly terrifying, as he was able to smash the demon bear's head with just one punch.

Ling Xiyuan also looked at him and asked doubtfully, "Are you a demon cultivator?"

Qi Yan had just sat down to catch his breath when he heard this, his eyes nearly flaring up: "What, what demon cultivator? I don't know, I'm a human cultivator, a genuine human cultivator!"

Ling Xiyuan: “…”

No cultivator calls his own people cultivators, only the demon race would do so.

Xie Yunsui laughed and said, "You are very strong. May I ask what kind of martial arts you practice?"

Qi Yan had no doubts and said proudly with his face raised: "I was born with this talent."

"What about the patterns on the face? Are they painted on?"

“This is innate!”

"These markings look familiar. Are you a demon cultivator from the tiger tribe?"

"Do you know me?" Qi Yan's eyes widened, and then he realized that this was a human cultivator trying to trick him. He hurriedly shook his head to deny it, "I'm not a tiger demon cultivator. That's strange. Why am I telling you so much..."

He stood up and was about to leave, but he was reluctant to leave the demon bear he had just hunted. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Although you guys also contributed, I caught it first, so I also contributed. I have to share some of the animal bone material."

Xie Yunsui said, "Of course, we won't be doing much, just a little animal skin will be enough."

Qi Yan couldn't believe these two humans were so easy to talk to: "Really? Then I'll take them all."

"Please."

Qi Yan really took off the animal skin and dragged the entire demon bear away.

Ling Xiyuan was so speechless that he wanted to say something. The demon bear was three times as big as him. How long would it take to get down the mountain if he dragged it like this?

Moreover, there was a raging fire coming out of the ground. Without the hard outer skin, the bear meat would be burned to charcoal before it even reached the bottom of the mountain.

"Wait." Ling Xiyuan couldn't help but called him.

Qi Yan's whole body tensed up instantly, thinking that the two men had changed their minds, and he immediately quickened his pace and ran.

Xie Yunsui chuckled. "Never mind. He's quite wary of humans. I guess he's been tricked by cultivators like the five-man team just now."

Ling Xiyuan put aside his desire to help others and said, "Okay."

The two went to see Fu Wenming and found that he was alive and well and was not frightened at all. They also dissected the two fox demons by the way.

Xie Yunsui finally felt a sense of relief, like someone standing out from the crowd. "The dissection technique is pretty good."

Fu Wenming breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he felt really depressed when he was constantly judged and told that he was not suitable for this or could not do that.

But now, all the fatigue in his body was gone and he could do it again!

I can’t wait to dissect two more foxes to show off my skills!

Qi Yan was at the foot of the mountain and sold the demon bear nearby.

"There's not a single piece of good meat left on this demon bear of yours. Look, the bones on your head are broken, and your hard outer skin is gone. The most valuable things on your body have been destroyed. I'm lucky to be able to give you this much money..."

Qi Yan put away the three hundred spirit stones he sold and the over a thousand spirit stones he had saved before.

Once we catch two or three more demon bears, we can go to Hualuo City to participate in the auction.

Qi Yan cheered up and plunged into the Fentian Mountains again.

-

"roar--"

A dying bear roared. Ling Xiyuan took a closer look and said helplessly, "It's him again."

Xie Yunsui said happily: "We have met him three times."

Ling Xiyuan smiled: "We are looking for the demon bear in this area. He has been hunting demon bears all the time, so it's not surprising that we meet him."

Qi Yan had just killed the demon bear and was sitting aside catching his breath. When he looked up, he saw two familiar faces.

"You guys again?"

Xie Yunsui came over and handed him a pot of water. "It's fate that we met. I see you've been hunting demon bears. Is it also for the materials they carry?"

Qi Yan tilted his head in confusion: "What material? I'm selling it. This demon bear is the most expensive. It can be sold for 500 spirit stones. After selling this, I can save enough money."

Xie Yunsui paused while drinking his water. "It's in great condition, but only five hundred?"

Qi Yan: "Yeah, haven't you sold it before? There are people buying it down the mountain."

Xie Yunsui laughed: "So you sold all the demon bears in front of you to him?"

"Well, he said the price he gave was the fairest. Unfortunately, I wasn't very careful before and kept breaking the bones. The fur and meat were also damaged, so the quality wasn't very good. So I can only take three or four hundred."

Xie Yunsui looked at the demon bear behind him. Perhaps Qi Yan's hunting skills had become more mature, as the demon bear was in very good condition.

Xie Yunsui said, "If you are willing to sell this demon bear to me, I can offer you a thousand spirit stones."

"One thousand!" Qi Yan choked on the water and asked, "Are you a monk who was taken advantage of?"

Xie Yunsui: "..."

Who is the real victim?

Xie Yunsui said coldly: "Will you sell it?"

Qi Yan chuckled and said, "For sale. Take a look. I was very careful this time. The quality is definitely the best."

After a while, he finally figured it out: "...Is the demon bear worth more than 500 spirit stones?"

He suddenly stood up: "Great! That guy Xiu is cheating me again! He tricked me into killing several demon bears! I'm going to settle the score with him!"

Ling Xiyuan held out his hand to stop him. "Among cultivators like me, this is called price-cutting. Even cultivators from the same sects have been undercut. If you go to him, he might not admit it. Besides, for him, being able to buy it from you at a low price is a sign of his superior ability. If his reputation gets out, it will surely bring him more business."

After hearing this, Qi Yan seemed to have thought of something, his face filled with indignation, mixed with a bit of resignation.

But he stopped clamoring for a settlement of accounts and so on.

After calming down for a few seconds, he angrily said, "Damn it! You human cultivators... are the most cunning."

Fu Wenming hadn't intended to interrupt, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but say, "Business is business. If you don't want to be ripped off, you can compare prices from three different vendors and ask a few people to see if the purchase price is the same. If they're all the same, then that's the price. If not, then find a higher price yourself."

Qi Yan didn't want to talk. That human was smiling warmly and acted like he was a good friend. He was much better than those humans who looked disgusted and scornful after knowing that he was a demon cultivator.

He would also kindly advise him to hide his identity as a demon cultivator and not show his true form when going out, otherwise he would be hunted as a demon beast by some unsuspecting cultivators.

He thought he could be trusted.

Seeing his drooping head and pitiful appearance, Xie Yunsui kindly said, "There are many materials from the bodies of demon beasts that can be used to refine weapons. Bones, fur, hard armor, even blood, tendons, and internal organs can all be used, and the prices vary. Some of the same materials will also adjust their prices based on market supply and demand. This is a science in itself. If you want to make money in the territory of human cultivators, you should at least understand it."

Qi Yan lowered his head and said, "I thought these things would only be taught to me after I found a master."

"Master? You want to become a disciple of a sect?" Ling Xiyuan thought for a moment and said, "Some sects are very strict and don't accept demon cultivators."

Qi Yan: “…”

He spread his arms and legs and gave up struggling.

Human cultivators are not only cunning, but also have sharp eyes. He had clearly tried hard to disguise himself as a human cultivator, but he was still recognized.

"I know, and I don't want to join those sects. I just want to find a master who can refine weapons and teach me the craft. Once I learn it, I'll go back and open a weapon refining shop..."

Qi Yan met Xie Yunsui and the other two several times, and they never fought over monsters. This person also told him that the previous people's cultivation was unreliable, and he regarded Xie Yunsui as a friend in his heart.

He was not as alert as before, perhaps because he hadn't told anyone his secrets for a long time, and now it all came out all at once.

He originally came from the gathering place of demon cultivators in the south. That area was an endless mountain forest with many rare natural treasures in the territory. There were always human cultivators who tried every means to deceive and collect them.

The tiger tribe that Qi Yan belonged to was cheated of the spiritual treasure materials they had accumulated over the years by a group of cultivators using low-level magic tools.

"Humph, you human cultivators are very cunning. You took some low-level magic tools, made them look beautiful, and then you tricked us into giving you so many materials. You bully us because we don't know anything!"

"So I'm going to learn how to refine weapons, and after I learn it, I'll pass it on to my descendants. That way, we won't be cheated again."

Qi Yan perked up: "I've inquired about it. There are two most powerful cultivators in your human race who are skilled in refining weapons. One is called Xie Yuan, and the other is called Ling Ye. They live a bit far away. I originally wanted to find the one called Xie Yuan. His family seemed to like taking in disciples. But when I found them, they said that the Xie family had long since disappeared."

Then Qi Yan thought about changing someone.

Before coming to the Fentian Mountains, Qi Yan heard that there was an auction to be held in Hualuo City and many weapon masters would come. He thought that if he could meet a powerful weapon master, he would not have to go to the Tianlang Immortal Sect again.

When he arrived at the Fentian Mountains, he had used up all the spirit stones in his hand. The human race has always had the concept of "apprenticeship ceremony", so he stayed here to hunt monsters in exchange for spirit stones, and stayed there for three months.

Xie Yunsui and the other two: "..."

Xie Yunsui's expression was subtle. "The auction in Hualuo City has ended, and most of the cultivators who came here have also left."

Even Fu Wenming couldn't bear to look at it. How could a monster be so unlucky?

Qi Yan's face suddenly lost all expression.
