I'm a Broker in an Otherworldly Realm

My name is Gu Yuan, and I transmigrated...

But I'm not panicking at all, because I have a system.

Others cultivate by snatching resources, while I rely on doing business. As the say...

Chapter 196 Preparation

Under the powerful strength of the blood coffin, the Lingshan Sect was divided into four parts by the blood coffin using spiritual energy. The three parts on the edge were used for the three forces, and the remaining central area was where Gu Yuan planned to stay.

It has to be said that the spiritual energy in the central area of ​​Lingshan Sect is indeed rich. Gu Yuan can clearly feel that the speed of the spiritual energy has increased a lot here.

"The central area here is indeed a good place, and the three forces will definitely send people to guard it. At that time, the central area will be surrounded by the three forces, which is quite safe." Gu Yuan said with a smile.

The Blood Coffin on the side said, "It's a pity that the protective formation here is gone. Otherwise, this place would be a great place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. And everything you just said is based on your sufficient strength. Without strength, those sects will turn into tigers and devour you without leaving any residue. Don't underestimate them. The fact that they have developed their sects to this level in this border area shows that they are not simple people."

"Hehe, of course I know. This central area is a great place for cultivation. What do you think if I isolate this area and build some secret rooms for the disciples of the following factions to cultivate?"

"What kind of crazy idea have you come up with? Charging by the hour?" Xue Guan knew very well that Gu Yuan was a guy who would not do anything without profit.

"Of course! Why else would I do this?"

"It's up to you. I think you should improve your strength first. Look at your current level of cultivation, you are only a fifth-level spiritualist. It's too embarrassing." The blood coffin said contemptuously.

"Forehead……"

Gu Yuan felt a little embarrassed. He hadn't been idle during this period of time, so it seemed that he really hadn't practiced much. Even his previous spiritual skill, Breaking Mountains and Slashing, had only been practiced to the level of Cutting Water and hadn't made any further progress.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Yuan said, "After this matter is over, I will hand over all the affairs at the Abyss Pawn Shop to Mu San. You can also help me keep an eye on it. I will go further afield to gain some experience."

"Oh? Where are you going?"

"There is no target yet, but I think it should be in the direction of Huoyun Sect." Gu Yuan said with a smile.

"Fire Cloud Sect?"

Blood Coffin raised an eyebrow, seeming a little surprised, and said, "The training environment there is indeed better than here, but your strength is a bit lacking. Do you want me to go with you? It's a good opportunity for me to meet an old friend."

Gu Yuan had heard from Xue Guan that he had fought against the leader of Huoyun Sect before. "Old friend? Is it the leader of Huoyun Sect?"

"Well, that old guy is quite evil. After recuperating for a while, my injuries have almost healed. This time I also plan to leave and meet him."

"Are you healed? So what's your current strength?"

Gu Yuan looked at the blood coffin. He estimated that it must be at least at the Spirit King level, but he didn't know what level it was.

"About a fifth-level Spirit King." The blood coffin replied.

"Depend on!"

Gu Yuan was a little speechless and said, "I wonder if you are an old monster pretending to be a teenager? You look about the same as me! I am only a spiritualist, and you are a spiritual king. That's a gap of three whole realms!"

"There's nothing strange about it. I've said that the Central Region is the real holy land for cultivation. In the future, you will find that geniuses are nothing there. The truly powerful ones are all monstrous!" The Blood Coffin said lightly.

"hiss……"

Gu Yuan didn’t know what to say anymore. This was such a huge blow to his confidence!

"Humph! One day I will reach this level!"

Gu Yuan snorted lightly, then suddenly frowned. He curled his fingers into claws under his sleeves and directly grabbed the long sword that was attacking his back.

Spiritual energy gushed out, and the long sword was shattered directly. Gu Yuan turned around and looked at the attacker, and then he noticed the young disciple of Lingshan Sect who had been ignored before.

Xue Guan nodded, quite satisfied with Gu Yuan's reaction.

"I almost forgot, there's a disciple from Lingshan Sect here!"

"Thief! Why did you kill my leader and take away my Lingshan Sect's spiritual land?"

Liu Cang's eyes were red and his body was trembling as he looked at Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan didn't say anything, nor did he get angry at his sneak attack. Instead, he asked calmly, "What's your name?"

Liu Cang glared at Gu Yuan: "Are you worthy enough to know my name?"

Although in a miserable state, Liu Cang stood proudly, looking as if he would rather die than surrender.

Gu Yuan almost laughed at his reaction. He shook his head gently and continued, "I know how you feel right now, but I can tell you that your Lingshan Sect leader deserved to die. I didn't kill anyone indiscriminately. Those who died deserved to die."

"What nonsense!"

Liu Cang's chest heaved, his face showing an extremely angry expression. Even though he was facing an enemy he could not defeat, he still roared without the slightest fear: "What did my Lingshan Sect do wrong? Why do you want to destroy my Lingshan Sect?"

"Hmph! Since you're so devoted to the sect, I won't kill you. After all, you didn't provoke me and are innocent. As for how your Lingshan Sect has become what it is now, I can only tell you that they provoked me. Of course, that's not the most important reason. The most important reason..."

Gu Yuan smiled and said, "I can't tell you."

"you……"

Liu Cang's face flushed red, as if he had been deeply insulted. He pointed at Gu Yuan and roared, "Thief! Do you dare to fight me to the death?"

Gu Yuan was stunned, revealing an extremely strange smile. He shook his head and said, "Why should I fight you to the death? Don't you know your current situation?"

"Haha, I thought he was some big shot, but it turns out he's just a despicable villain who stands behind the powerful and bullies others! He's really just a bully!"

The string of curses didn't make Gu Yuan angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "Yes, you're right. I'm just bullying people by taking advantage of my power. I'm just a villain. So what? Didn't your Lingshan Sect still get destroyed because of me?"

Liu Cang's face turned pale with anger, and he didn't know how to refute this shameless guy in front of him with a smile on his face.

"Master, Elders! Liu Cang is incompetent! He is unable to avenge you, unable to continue the incense of Lingshan Sect. Liu Cang is guilty! Liu Cang is guilty!"

Liu Cang suddenly knelt on the ground, looked up to the sky and laughed miserably. The spiritual energy in his right hand directly transformed into a sword, and he actually wanted to cut his own neck.

However, the next moment, a stone hit his wrist directly, and Liu Cang was unable to even commit suicide.

He turned his head and saw the black-robed man beside him slowly retract his white hand, then said: "I saved you, but your life no longer belongs to you."

The implication was obvious: even if Liu Cang wanted to die, he had to get his consent!

Liu Cang's face grew increasingly pale, and his smile grew increasingly desolate. He murmured, "Don't you even have the right to die now?"

"As a real man, there is nothing you can't overcome. If you are not afraid of death, why are you afraid of living? You want revenge? Okay, I can give you this opportunity." The blood coffin said lightly.

Gu Yuan looked at the blood coffin in surprise, not knowing what he meant by saying this.
