Chapter 815: Plenty of Methods!

Chapter 815: Chapter 815: Plenty of Methods!

As an evil cultivator, assessing the situation was also an essential ability.

Face was something only orthodox cultivators fought for. Evil cultivators had always valued tangible benefits.

If kowtowing could exchange for resources, every evil cultivator present would start kowtowing on the spot.

Chu Xingchen’s cultivation here was obviously absurdly excessive, so no matter how loud his voice or how arrogant his tone, no one would truly want to clash with this top-tier evil cultivator who practiced blood qi.

The less trouble the better. If they weren’t allowed to look, they wouldn’t look.

Chu Xingchen’s gaze swept across. Now in this underground square, no one dared look over—even the Nascent Soul cultivators at the counter silently stared at the tables before them.

"That’s right." Chu Xingchen grinned and walked slowly toward the counter. "As expected, those who can stay here aren’t raw recruits. You understand what it means to respect your seniors."

As he spoke, Chu Xingchen took out a Black Crow Direct Token from his sleeve—expertly forged by Xuanqing Heavenly Sect, a fake more real than the genuine article.

The blood power contained within was deliberately triggered, and everyone sensed the blood qi that clearly carried the Evil Spirit Sect’s style.

Chu Xingchen placed the Black Crow Direct Token on the counter.

The Nascent Soul cultivator at the counter had his head lowered, cursing his bad luck today while watching the Black Crow Direct Token gently pushed before him.

One glance, and the Nascent Soul cultivator behind the counter confirmed that the Black Crow Direct Token before him was as real as could be.

Chu Xingchen reached out and tapped it lightly:

"This thing, usable?"

"Reporting to the senior, it is usable." The Nascent Soul cultivator at the counter nodded immediately.

In the evil cultivator world, items like Black Crow Blood Jade flowing from the Evil Spirit Sect were basically interchangeable with spirit stones. These things could truly be exchanged for goods within the Evil Spirit Sect, and their value was extremely high.

Moreover, what Chu Xingchen handed over was the highest-grade Black Crow Direct Token—something only the Black Crow Cult Master would personally commission, equivalent to exchanging for a favor from the Black Crow Bishop.

This was no longer at the level of exchanging for things, but rather being able to command a certain Evil Spirit Sect organization to work for you.

Naturally, this thing could usually only be used by finding the Black Crow Bishop.

However, forging this was extremely difficult—it contained a wisp of true intent and blood qi separated by the Black Crow Bishop, and disciples who had cultivated the Evil Spirit Sect’s blood eating technique could truly recognize whether the contents were genuine.

Naturally, the cultivation requirement was also that of Evil Spirit Sect cultivators at Golden Core realm or above to recognize it.

"As long as it’s usable." Chu Xingchen’s tone was playful. He then took out another Black Crow Direct Token from his sleeve and placed it on the counter.

This time, the Nascent Soul cultivator at the counter was completely speechless.

Chu Xingchen’s gaze shifted: "This is the deposit. This Seat needs people to handle matters, and This Seat will continue to pay according to progress."

The Nascent Soul cultivator lowered his head, looking at the two Black Crow Direct Tokens placed before him, his tone somewhat uneasy:

"What major matter does the senior intend to handle?"

Chu Xingchen said lazily:

"Southern Zhanbu Continent, Beilan Kingdom. This Seat intends to refine the entire kingdom, converting all into This Seat’s blood food."

The Nascent Soul cultivator was instantly stunned, wanting to immediately ask—What did you say?

Refining a kingdom?

In this day and age, evil cultivators were already living with their tails between their legs.

Evil cultivators on the Eastern Divine Continent had nearly had their legs broken by Xiaoyun Hall combined with Xuanqing Heavenly Sect, and many had fled.

Moreover, recent news indicated that Buddhist Buddhas were stationed in Southern Zhanbu Continent, vigorously purging evil cultivators and life-devouring demons. Rumors even said that the Honored Buddha Runan was now in Southern Zhanbu Continent.

With the Eastern Divine Continent as a precedent, refining a kingdom in Southern Zhanbu Continent... wasn’t that essentially asking for death?

Although evil cultivators acted ruthlessly, they understood limits.

Occasionally refining a village to accumulate bit by bit would at most result in the Demon Suppression Bureau and surrounding sects investigating together.

This already gave many evil cultivators headaches.

Refining a kingdom.

Leaving aside how difficult it was to accomplish, even if it succeeded, the ones investigating wouldn’t be some Southern Zhanbu Continent sect.

The iron fist of the Eighteen Immortal Sects would truly take lives.

Evil cultivators were just greedy, not suicidal.

"We can only try our best for the senior." The Nascent Soul cultivator spoke tactfully—after all, he didn’t dare refuse.

"Trying your best isn’t enough." Chu Xingchen tapped the Black Crow Direct Token before him. "I don’t care how you use it. In short, I want to see the people I want."

The Nascent Soul cultivator hesitated for a moment, then mustered the courage to say quietly:

"Senior, refining an entire kingdom isn’t just about numbers—it requires a meticulous plan to attract more people. Moreover, there are reports that a Buddhist Honored Buddha is in Southern Zhanbu Continent. The Buddhist sect is, after all, a righteous path. A hasty approach might ruin your grand plan."

Chu Xingchen said calmly:

"How to handle it is my business. You just find people. We’ll naturally pay whatever the risk requires. Don’t tell me you intend to ask about our plan? Spread the word, and those who want to come will come."

"And you should understand what kind of person is worth meeting. I’m not looking for just anyone."

The Nascent Soul cultivator nodded quickly and accepted the two Black Crow Direct Tokens on the counter:

"How should we contact the senior?"

Chu Xingchen sneered: "Have them leave contact information. I’ll choose who to find."

"Yes..." The Nascent Soul cultivator nodded immediately.

Chu Xingchen nodded with satisfaction, then turned and left without hesitation.

Bai Xuanling glanced at Chu Xingchen and followed him out.

With their departure, the oppressive atmosphere in the underground square instantly dissipated, but still no one spoke.

Only after confirming that the blood qi evil cultivator who seemed a bit unhinged but whose strength was absurdly powerful had left did they start to regain some ability to talk.

Some speculated about Chu Xingchen’s identity and what kind of backing could produce two Black Crow Direct Tokens just as deposits to call people.

And the proposal of refining an entire kingdom’s blood food—something that sounded utterly absurd.

Regardless, today had been an unusually eye-opening experience.

——————

Outside the Gathering of Worthies Pavilion, Bai Xuanling looked at Chu Xingchen:

"Is this arrangement of yours fishing? Such a crude approach probably won’t attract anyone important. But knowing you as I do, this is probably just the beginning, right? What other underhanded tricks do you have for me to learn?"

Chu Xingchen laughed breezily and said with a righteous expression:

"You can’t rush the beginning of anything. Start with an evil cultivator who seems unhinged but is surprisingly generous."

"Then spread rumors about an ancient blood cultivation ancestor’s secret realm emerging—one who nearly succeeded in ascending during his tribulation, containing the secret of how the Blood God Ancestor cultivated to Tribulation Transcendence with weak aptitude."

"Tianyan Sect and Xuanqing Heavenly Sect begin investigating, pursuing relevant personnel to build momentum."

"Then our strange but generous person will be casually mentioned."

"There will always be evil cultivators who think they’ve seen through the mystery but are blood cultivators hitting bottlenecks, who will come to us to seize the opportunity for a breakthrough."

"Black and white working together—I have plenty of methods."

Bai Xuanling clicked her tongue softly upon hearing this:

"You kid are still so patient and ruthless."
