Chapter 517: Demonic Tide

"Master!"

"Ninth Brother! Thanks to you arriving in time."

Returning to the cave dwelling in Fire Spirit City, Lin Wei and the Su Qidong brothers obediently bowed to Su Fan, then looked at him cautiously.

They also knew that this time, their carelessness had almost finished them off.

"Do you know you were wrong?"

Su Fan glanced at the three and said.

"Yes, yes, we know we were wrong."

The three nodded repeatedly.

"Heh! Knowing you were wrong, then tell me, where were you wrong?"

"This..." The three were suddenly speechless.

Looking at Su Fan with tingling scalps, finally, Lin Wei stood out and said: "Master, this time we trusted outsiders too much. We left the city rashly without investigating, falling into a dangerous situation..."

"Hindsight!"

"However, after this time, you also know that the world of immortality is not so peaceful. In Fire Spirit City, no one dares to make a move, but that doesn't mean they won't scheme against you."

"Only after suffering a loss do you know how to cherish."

Su Fan glanced at the three. "Next time you do things, think a bit more. Pies will never fall from the sky. Even if they do fall, they will only be poisonous pies; more often than not, they are traps."

"In the loose cultivator plaza in the DC District, you can set up stalls, but keep a sharp eye when doing things. Lowering prices to increase competitiveness is not bad, but there must be a limit."

"There are other ways to attract cultivators; it doesn't necessarily have to be by lowering prices."

Su Fan looked at the few and finally gave them a bit of guidance.

"Yes, Master (Ninth Brother)."

Hearing this, the three honestly agreed.

"After this time, Qidong, Qiyuan, you two first seize the time in the cave dwelling to cultivate to the Qi Refining ninth-layer perfection realm, and then attempt Foundation Establishment."

"Okay, Ninth Brother."

The Su Qidong brothers had no objections.

"Master, why did you give those two demonic cultivator corpses to that person? If you had handed those two corpses over to the Yuan Ding Sect, the reward obtained should have exceeded twenty thousand spirit stones, right?"

Lin Wei looked at Su Fan with a puzzled expression and asked carefully.

"Hmm! Indeed, the Yuan Ding Sect is the hegemon of the Southern Huang Ye Continent. Once it is confirmed that the entire Clear Water Sect are demonic cultivators and they are eradicated, then my contribution will certainly not be little."

"But you forgot what I just said. This world is not as bright as you imagine. Without strength and background, if you rashly send these two corpses up, I fear some cultivators of the Yuan Ding Sect will directly make you disappear and then swallow this contribution all by themselves."

"The Yuan Ding Sect might not do this, but individual cultivators within it are different. Sometimes, benefits can make people go crazy. Remember, greed will only blind your eyes."

"That guy can do it because he has the Chaoyang Sect standing behind him, and those two corpses are also for the Chaoyang Sect to send. When the time comes, it will be a mutual scheme between the Chaoyang Sect and the Yuan Ding Sect."

"These are not things that we loose cultivators can compare with."

"So you must also remember, some things are not easily touched, so don't touch them."

Su Fan glanced at Lin Wei and then explained slowly.

"Master, I have noted it down."

Hearing this, Lin Wei nodded solemnly.

"Hmm! Go. Stay in the cave dwelling these few days and cultivate well. Looking at your cultivation, I estimate that in a few days, you will be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment second layer."

"In a few days, I am going to Dongying City. Guard the cave dwelling well."

"Yes, Master."

"This is Dongying City? It looks no worse than Fire Spirit City?"

Su Fan and Golden Light arrived at this city where immortal cultivators gathered. The former sighed. This Dongying City was built on the hillside of a fourth-grade spiritual vein; naturally, it could not compare to the size of Fire Spirit City.

Moreover, there was a fifth-grade spiritual vein near Fire Spirit City; the two sides could not be compared.

But this Dongying City looked even more bustling, and there seemed to be more immortal cultivators within the city.

"This Dongying City is a large-scale immortal cultivation market in the south of the Wu Guo. Because the south of the Wu Guo is located in a plain area suitable for survival, there are also many cultivators."

"Is that so?"

Hearing Golden Light's explanation, Su Fan nodded. More mortals meant more immortal cultivators; after all, more spiritual roots would be born.

Just like the current Su Family, after decades of vigorous development, the mortals of the Su Family have now reached over eight hundred thousand.

Every year, three or four spiritual roots can be born, and sometimes even more.

This is slowly increasing the foundation.

For example, the mortals controlled by the Yunyang Sect number in the tens of millions, and the spiritual roots born every year reach hundreds. Even though most are four-spiritual-root or five-spiritual-root, sometimes two-spiritual-root, variant spiritual roots, or even heavenly spiritual roots can be born.

Because the Wu Guo was developed earlier, large plains have all been developed into places suitable for mortals to survive, unlike the Zheng State, where even in the interior, large areas belong to the wilderness, and the land utilization rate has not reached one in ten thousand.

Ninety-nine percent belong to wilderness areas, while the Wu Guo is different; there are mortal cities in many places here.

They flew all the way and saw many mortal cities.

This is the world of immortality he envisioned. Although there is a difference between immortals and mortals, if there are only a few mortals, what does that count for?

The higher the level of the world, the more the population should be.

The Zheng State has such a large area, yet the mortal population is no more than a hundred million.

But the Wu Guo is different. Dongying City is located in Cheng'an Commandery in the south of the Wu Guo. In this Cheng'an Commandery, it is said that the population of just one commandery is no less than a hundred million.

"Senior Li, are we going to the Tai Nan Chamber of Commerce now?"

"No rush, let's take a look first."

Hearing this, Su Fan shook his head. Su Fan was not in a hurry. Profound Yang Warm Jade is a treasure for opening the Purple Mansion, but Great Elder Su Shi'an had not reached the timing to open the Purple Mansion.

He was just preparing it in advance.

This Dongying City, like Fire Spirit City, belongs to an immortal cultivation market. It is even more bustling inside, especially with more chambers of commerce; commerce seems even more developed.

He was also investigating, looking to change a station.

Fire Spirit City is not bad, but Su Fan knew that in the next period of time, the north of the Wu Guo would certainly not be peaceful.

The entire Clear Water Sect has turned into demonic cultivators; this is a terrifying number. Perhaps the low-level Qi Refining cultivators have not yet completely turned into demonic cultivators.

But the number of those high-level ones is already not small, likely no fewer than a thousand. With so many demonic cultivators, especially since the Clear Water Sect still has over a dozen Golden Core cultivators who have turned into demonic cultivators...

These Golden Core demonic cultivators are even harder to deal with.

Not to mention, that half-step Nascent Soul, and even the Nascent Soul demonic cultivator in the shadows.

There are nearly two Nascent Soul demonic cultivators and over a dozen Golden Core demonic cultivators; this is simply a small-scale demonic tide.

Once it erupts, it will likely sweep through half of the Wu Guo, or even the entire Wu Guo.

If the top sects of the Wu Guo underestimate it, the consequences will absolutely be unimaginable.

After all, the ability of high-level demonic cultivators to infect is simply too powerful; they can quickly gather a large group of demonic cultivators. ===== CHAPTER 518 =====
