Therefore, he could only settle for the next best thing, buying demon skills.
"Eighty low-grade spirit stones."
The vendor spoke without even looking up.
"So expensive!"
"It’s just an ordinary demon skill, yet it’s so expensive. How about fifty?"
Lin Zheyu haggled.
"Expensive things have their reasons for being expensive."
"The ’Youjue Demon Canon’ was created by a Golden Core expert to be taught to assassins for refining powerful puppet techniques."
"Although it has been proven that using the power of Yin can lead to demon puppets deteriorating when encountering powerful monsters, risking rebellion."
"But after all, it’s a technique created by a Golden Core expert. Even if it can’t be cultivated, ’Youjue Demon Canon’ still holds great reference value."
The vendor glanced at Lin Zheyu coldly and said.
After all, eighty low-grade spirit stones was a substantial business, not a small amount. Seeing the stir in the friend before him, the vendor couldn’t help but explain a few more words.
"Make it cheaper."
"Because it is a demon skill that can’t be cultivated, sixty spirit stones." Lin Zheyu continued to haggle.
"Not selling."
The vendor lowered his head, without even glancing at Lin Zheyu.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zheyu was at a loss for words, encountering yet another stubborn negotiator.
With no other option, Lin Zheyu could only purchase the ’Youjue Demon Canon’ at the cost of eighty spirit stones.
He briefly browsed through this cultivation technique, his eyes couldn’t help but brighten slightly, with his keen eyesight, he quickly noticed the uniqueness of the technique.
With the knowledge he acquired over time, Lin Zheyu was no longer a novice in the Immortal Realm.
As far as he knows, in ancient times, when demons first appeared, many great powers pioneered numerous cultivation paths, but most ended in failure.
The so-called demon skills were created by those most radical powers back then.
They upheld the notion that if you can’t defeat them, then join them, vainly attempting to cultivate themselves into a physique suitable for survival in the Demonic Realm through demon skills.
But the final result seemed to prove that this path was not viable.
Demon skills devolved into techniques passed on by cultivators to others, turning them into demon puppet methods.
After storing the ’Youjue Demon Canon’, Lin Zheyu wandered around the market for a while, but gained nothing more.
Night.
The bright moonlight spilled onto the scene.
A tall figure suddenly appeared in the mountains and forests.
Whizz—
A beam of blue light suddenly emerged.
As if having preemptively sensed it, Lin Zheyu shifted his body horizontally.
Boom!
A thunderous sound erupted beneath his feet, Lin Zheyu vanished from his original spot in an instant.
"Not good, it’s an expert!"
"Retreat!"
Came an astonished cry from the forest, three figures split into three directions and fled separately.
"Run?"
"Letting a duck in hand escape, how can that be!"
Lin Zheyu’s lips curled slightly.
A fish seemed to have bitten the bait. However, this particular fish was swimming too fast, Lin Zheyu could only catch one and let the others go.
Lin Zheyu followed closely behind one of them, the distance between the two steadily closing.
"Spare those who can be spared. If you continue chasing, don’t blame me for being rude to you!"
Came a voice relayed through spiritual sense.
Under the moonlight, the man’s face turned fierce.
Maintaining the escape technique, his hands rapidly formed seals, his inner spiritual power surged, even affecting the escape technique, which slowed down.
The man’s complexion grew pale, a drop of cold sweat sliding from his forehead.
Sizzle!
Suddenly, a flame of ghostly blue appeared in front of him.
The flame exuded a piercing chill, the surrounding temperature dropping instantly, as if freezing one’s soul from the inside out. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
"Go!"
The man shouted softly, pushing his hands forward, and the ghostly blue flame flew toward Lin Zheyu, arriving swiftly in front of him.
Boom!
As Lin Zheyu attempted to use his body technique to dodge quickly, the ghostly blue flame exploded, transforming into a sea of fire.
Unlike ordinary fire, this ghostly blue flame was extremely bizarre, with presence of both extreme cold and heat.
"What kind of bizarre flame is this?"
Lin Zheyu frowned slightly.
As the flames surrounded him, they quickly surged into his body, causing Lin Zheyu’s physique to exhibit a peculiar mix of half-red and half-blue.
Hiss—
Lin Zheyu’s brows knitted tightly, muscles tensed, veins and arteries bulging, golden runes emerged on the surface, his whole body radiating a golden light.
"Die!"
Lin Zheyu’s expression was cold, enduring the physical pain, his speed undiminished.
Boom!
His speed reached an extremity, the momentary delay swiftly shortening the distance between Lin Zheyu and the man.
Whizz—
The Setting Sun Blade sliced through, cutting through the man’s back with a ghastly sound.
In the man’s terrified gaze, his upper body slanted and fell, the cut smooth as ever.
"Even dead, the ghostly blue flame can’t be extinguished?"
Lin Zheyu frowned at the man’s corpse.
His body alternately chilling and heating, some parts of his blood were frozen solid by the terrifying chill, others boiling due to the intense heat.
Due to the ghostly blue flame’s influence, Lin Zheyu’s true essence was somewhat chaotic, forcing him to spend significant effort to suppress it.
"Friend, since you’re here, why hide in the shadows."
"Show yourself!"
Lin Zheyu looked toward the southeast, speaking coldly.
At this moment, he was already disregarding the ghostly blue flame inside, even though it caused considerable trouble, it was merely so.
"Haha, young friend. Such formidable skills!"
"I am merely passing by, noticed someone fighting here, came out of curiosity, have no other intentions."
With hair and beard white, giving an immortal impression, an elder slowly emerged from the forest.
The elder gave an impression of being very gentle, indeed seeming without malice.
