My Cultivation Starting from Archery Chapter 1078 - 349: Eighth Prince

After entering the Chaotic Wilderness Yongzhou, the Golden Body Realm puppet appeared and began following Cao Zhi closely, almost never leaving his side.

For seven consecutive days.

Chen Sansi trailed them all the way from the border to Yici Mountain.

After passing through the valley ahead, they officially entered the domain of the Immortal Ba Sect.

The Immortal Ba Sect, also known as the Corpse Refining Sect, is notorious even within the entire Demon Realm.

They not only collect blood taxes but also subject their disciples to inhuman tornt before turning them into corpse puppets, often capturing disciples from other Demon Sects for this purpose.

The power of the Corpse Refining Sect is considerable, comparable to the status of the Three Heavens Sect on the Sky Water Continent.

This place is just one of their many subordinate regions.

As they passed by the mortal town, they saw eerie villages and vast graveyards everywhere, with evil Qi and Yin Qi entwined between the heavens and the earth.

From start to finish, Chen Sansi couldn’t find a suitable opportunity to attack Cao Zhi, so he could only keep following them.

After wandering about, Cao Zhi and his companion finally entered the Yici Mountain Market.

From several miles away, Chen Sansi saw all around the desolate mountains there were pitch-black coffins on display.

But these were not graveyards; rather, they are cultivation sites relying on Yin veins. Each coffin is a cave mansion able to absorb Yin Qi and moonlight.

The cultivation thods of corpse cultivators are very peculiar. They often cultivate a certain technique while alive, consuming their own lifespan so that after death, their soul remains with their body, turning into a zombie.

Their lifespans are long, but correspondingly, the cost is that when breaking through realms, they must face a heavenly tribulation several tis more powerful.

Disguised as a loose cultivator from the Demon Realm, Chen Sansi blended into the market and saw Cao Zhi and his companion begin purchasing supplies.

Since they chose a task token as a cover, they naturally needed to complete the task first.

Taking this opportunity, Chen Sansi also stepped into a dicinal shop to purchase the thousand-year "Extre Yin Cordyceps" he needed.

"Thousand-year?"

The shopkeeper was a corpse cultivator with a deathly pale face, speaking with a stiff tone: "Daoist, such an aged extre Yin Cordyceps is not cheap."

He extended his hand, quoting an astronomical price.

Chen Sansi had the Emperor’s Breath Soil and could have bought a seedling, bringing it back for Yun Huan to cultivate.

But since he was pressed for ti to refine an elixir, he couldn’t afford to waste ti and had to spend a large amount of money to buy it ready-made.

"I didn’t bring that many spirit stones, but I can trade sothing."

Chen Sansi said, opening a box to display a heavenly material and earthly treasure emitting a brilliant spirit light: "This thousand-year Blood Residue Charcoal should be sufficient, right?"

The shopkeeper’s eyes lit up clearly, but he still feigned reluctance: "Extre Yin Cordyceps can only be found at our Yici Mountain, but your Blood Residue Charcoal is produced in more than one place."

Chen Sansi understood the other’s intentions, and given the current situation, he had no ti to argue. He simply said, "How much do you think is still lacking? Just say it."

"Hehe."

The shopkeeper got what he wanted, a stiff smile appearing on his face as he was about to make an exorbitant demand, only to be interrupted by soone else.

"Hold on!"

"Give it to , I will trade you the thousand-year Extre Yin Cordyceps and additionally give you ten middle-grade spirit stones."

Chen Sansi turned around to see a middle-aged man with short whiskers and draped in a black robe.

This person...

He recognized him!

Years ago, Chen Sansi had encountered this man during a raid led into the dicine Valley within the Bai Family’s Dusk Valley.

It was none other than the Eighth Prince of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Xun!

How did he end up here?

Thinking carefully, it made sense, considering this guy had been colluding with the Demon Cultivators of the Seven Kills Sect for a long ti.

The shopkeeper, seeing the cooked duck fly away, was imdiately furious and said, "Who are you? Do you have a say here?!"

"Pa!"

Zhao Xun didn’t speak, rely slamd a gold dal engraved with the word "Demon" onto the counter.

"Ah, so Daoist is from the Immortal Ba Sect."

The shopkeeper was taken aback, his stiff face squeezing out a flattering smile: "It’s my eyes that failed to recognize Mount Tai, I beg Daoist’s pardon."

Zhao Xun snorted coldly, ignoring him, and looked back at the stranger loose cultivator, saying solemnly, "Daoist, are we doing this deal or not?"

"Of course."

Chen Sansi smoothly completed the transaction with him.

Zhao Xun was very satisfied, stored away the items, and said in a deep voice, "Daoist, if you have more similar items for trade, you can co to the Armor Division Cave Mansion to find ."

"Absolutely."

Chen Sansi repeatedly agreed.

Zhao Xun turned and left, heading directly towards Yici Mountain.

Just as he disappeared around a corner, two figures followed closely behind.

"Is Cao Zhi’s target Zhao Xun?"

Witnessing this, Chen Sansi speculated in his mind.

If so, this matter likely involves the court of the Song Dynasty.

Let’s watch and wait!

He inconspicuously followed the group.

After leaving the market, Zhao Xun entered Yici Mountain, where coffin forests stood densely.

Cao Zhi and his companion stopped behind, discussed in whispers for a mont, then returned, rented a cave mansion near the market, and settled directly at Yici Mountain.

Clearly, they hadn’t found an opportunity to act against Zhao Xun yet.

Yici Mountain, as a large tier-three Yin vein market, had at least two thousand cultivators inside and outside, plus Golden Core Demon Cultivators in residence. If sothing happened and they couldn’t leave in ti, even a Golden Core Cultivator would find it difficult to escape.

Chen Sansi thought about it and decided to temporarily rent a cave mansion in the market as well to make it easier to continue tracking them.
