Chapter 135: Preparing to Make Money

Wang Ping's mind was filled with countless thoughts; it disappeared ten thousand years ago, which is ten thousand years in the Spirit Realm, while the appearance of the Qingdi Changsheng Gong in the lower realm occurred during the Ancient War.

The Ancient War is said to have lasted over a thousand years, which is merely ten thousand years.

It certainly wasn't as long as the Spirit Realm's time; that is to say, during the Ancient War in the lower realm, the Qing Emperor had already disappeared.

At this point, Ye Ming continued speaking: "The original Qingdi Changsheng Gong has been lost, but a Grand Ascension-stage Heaven-Reaching Grand Master reverse-engineered part of it, allowing cultivation only up to the Spirit Transformation realm! This is the new version of the Qingdi Changsheng Gong; it's said the new version differs little from the old, the only shortcoming being that one can no longer cultivate the Yin Wood Divine Thunder!"

Hearing this, Wang Ping's heart stirred; his cultivation of the Qingdi Changsheng Gong, after the Wood Spirit Body, also possessed a Yin Wood Body, and upon achieving the Yin Wood Body he could attempt to cultivate the Yin Wood Divine Thunder!

But this method was only mentioned once in the introduction; the truly concrete method lies in Golden Core or Nascent Soul level cultivation techniques.

Given that,

The Qingdi Changsheng Gong of the lower realm is the original version; Wang Ping's eyes were calm, showing no trace of unusual color.

"Brother Lan is also studying the new version of the Qingdi Changsheng Gong, right?" Liu Haodong continued asking.

Wang Ping nodded and said with some regret: "Indeed it is the new version!"

Ye Ming and the others, seeing Wang Ping's regretful expression, naturally understood why he felt that way.

Liu Haodong laughed and said: "Brother Lan doesn't need to worry too much; once one reaches the Spirit Transformation realm, they can simply switch techniques. Moreover, the wood spirit power condensed by the new version of the Changsheng Gong is in no way inferior to the old version, and when using wood-system Dao techniques it not only allows quicker mastery but also increases their power!"

Wang Ping smiled; he certainly knew all this, and moreover, his cultivation of the Qingdi Changsheng Gong is even suspected to be the original version.

He made up his mind: from now on, in the Spirit Realm he cannot lightly use the Qingdi Changsheng Gong; he must switch to the fire-system cultivation method, the Scarlet Flame Heart Tribulation.

"Most of you have already slain a demon beast; should we continue?" Wang Ping changed the topic and directly asked.

Continuing to discuss the Qingdi Changsheng Gong endlessly would be of no benefit to him, so he simply brought up a topic they were interested in.

"Of course we should continue! This time, all twenty-two of us will enter the top hundred and shock the entire Mysterious Yellow City!" Han Qian exclaimed excitedly.

"Yeah! Brother Lan! We definitely need to go for it! Every part of a demon beast is valuable; after we slay them and bring the spoils back to the city to sell, we can earn a considerable amount of spirit crystals!" Ye Ming likewise agreed to go for it.

Wang Ping blinked his eyes; exchanging a second-rank demon beast for spirit crystals is equivalent to obtaining a top-grade spirit stone.

That's merely a second-rank demon beast!

Wang Ping could not resist this damned curiosity any longer and asked: "Ye Ming, I've been outside following my master for training; I don't know the current price of second-rank demon beasts inside the city."

Ye Ming paused slightly, then spoke:

"Basically, for early-stage second-rank demon beasts, a little over a hundred can be exchanged for one spirit crystal; for mid-stage, about eighty are needed; for late-stage, a single one suffices! Of course, there will certainly be price fluctuations."

Wang Ping's eyes lit up upon hearing this; a little over a hundred early-stage second-rank demon beasts can be exchanged for a top-grade spirit stone—this Spirit Realm is far too wealthy!

Just that batch of demon monkeys, he slaughtered a hundred of them with ease in three Spirit Realm days.

But if it were swapped for that demon elephant, it wouldn't work; that kind of demon beast is too thick-skinned and muscular—no matter how sharp his Vajra Pestle is, even entering its flesh, which is as hard and huge as a magic treasure, it wouldn't leave a dent.

But the point isn't that; the point is that Wang Ping can completely choose to hunt demon beasts that aren't overly large, especially those that run fast—his Vajra Pestle is most effective against fast-running demon beasts.

Thinking of this, Wang Ping's heart heated up; spirit crystals are a good thing, and using them for cultivation is in no way inferior to cultivating in the Spirit Realm.

He originally planned to seclude himself for fifty years in the lower realm; this is perfect for using spirit crystals to cultivate—one spirit crystal contains enough spiritual energy that even if he cultivated to Golden Core, he couldn't use it all up.

But who would complain about having too little of such a thing? If he couldn't seize this opportunity to make a big profit, that would be a huge loss!

Moreover, Wang Ping decided that after returning to the lower realm this time, he would not plan to come back to the Spirit Realm for a long period; hearing today's news made him somewhat uneasy, so he decided to first go back to the lower realm and stay there for fifty years before speaking further— as a Foundation Establishment minor cultivator constantly going in and out of the Spirit Realm, this is not good.

And this also happens to be a good opportunity for the Silver Stone Gate to accumulate some time.

"Then let's go! I'll accompany you for one more day; I also want to hunt some demon beasts that day, but I'm not yet entering the city, so how about we exchange?"

Wang Ping stood up, smiling as he asked Ye Ming and the others.

Ye Ming and the others naturally agreed; these second-rank demon beast materials are hot commodities in Bright King City and the surrounding cities.

In the Spirit Realm, those below Foundation Establishment are basically not permitted to leave the city; some ordinary people and Qi Refining-stage cultivators might spend their entire lives confined to that single day's street.

Genuinely going out of the city to hunt demon beasts couldn't be as comfortable as Ye Ming and the others; within the entire trial area there are only second-rank demon beasts, plus Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators standing guard.

Ye Ming and the others also understood this clearly, so upon hearing that Wang Ping would sell them the demon beast materials, they naturally agreed happily.

Wang Pinched his lips, pondering; he somehow had to obtain another spirit crystal, so that he would possess two spirit crystals.

Such a thing is undoubtedly hard currency; Wang Ping also realized that ordinary Spirit Realm cultivators probably couldn't afford spirit crystals, and those before him are disciples of the city's great families—owning a piece of spirit crystal for cultivation is nothing special.

"Brother Lan, where do you say we should go to hunt demon beasts next?"

Wang Ping pondered for a moment; in truth he rolled his eyes inwardly, I'm completely unfamiliar with this place, how would I know where demon beasts are? Those demon monkeys just now were purely a blind cat hitting a dead rat, giving you guys this opportunity; otherwise, I'd probably still be dragging you around the mountains.

"I don't know whether you had any plans before coming; the place I go to isn't suitable for group training." Wang Ping thought it over and could only start from these young cultivators.

Ye Ming thought it over and said: "Before coming, I had actually selected a few locations, but looking now, they probably aren't suitable either!"

Liu Haodong has never been the type to stay put; seeing that Brother Lan and Brother Ye Ming had no solution, he chuckled.

"I actually have a plan: we can go to Chaos Demon Valley! If we want to achieve good rankings, we must go to Chaos Demon Valley! There are numerous demon beasts there, plus plenty of aged spiritual medicines and fruits, all of which can enhance Foundation Establishment cultivation! Moreover, the Xiao, Yan, and Gu Teng families are definitely going there as well—we can't be left behind!"

Wang Ping's face was expressionless; he merely turned his gaze toward Ye Ming, who hesitated for a moment, then lifted his head and looked at Wang Ping, saying:

"Brother Lan! Let's just go to Chaos Demon Valley! There, demon beast varieties are abundant, with many rare species that can fetch a good price when sold outside!"

"Good! Let's go there!" Wang Ping nodded and immediately agreed!

Although I don't know where Chaos Demon Valley is, as long as I can earn top-grade spirit stones, it doesn't matter where I go; besides, Ye Ming and the others have already said that there are only second-rank demon beasts here.
