Chapter 273: Spreading the Truth
Chapter 273: Spreading the Truth
He had come to spread information, not to attract attention.
Being exposed would only make things worse.
After saying that, he began transferring all eye catching items into his storage ring, leaving behind only a small number of things he did not care about, such as some mid and low grade spirit stones and a few inferior magic treasures in his storage bracelet.
He planned to pose as a poor cultivator.
Only after making himself look completely shabby did he turn back and fly toward Yingzhou Celestial Isle again.
On the way, he sensed several groups of cultivators who are dressed similarly to the ones he had just killed, searching around different areas.
They were probably looking for those ten unlucky fellows.
Too bad they were already inside the bellies of sea beasts.
There was no way they would be found.
Xiao Shou had no intention of causing trouble now, so relying on his superior divine sense, he avoided them from a distance.
He descended directly at the island’s entrance that he had sensed earlier.
After paying an entrance fee ten times more expensive than that of the Heavenly Void Sect marketplaces, he entered Yingzhou Celestial Isle under the disdainful gazes of the guards while still wearing the appearance of a poor middle aged cultivator.
However, he did not expect to be so astonished the moment he entered.
Not long after stepping onto the island, he saw all kinds of shops and stalls trading sea beasts.
His eyes lit up.
He really wanted to buy something.
The demand for Tier 5 demonic beast cores from demonic beasts and sea beasts was enormous.
Unfortunately, a shabby middle aged cultivator like him could not afford them.
A few steps ahead was a spirit stone exchange shop where one could convert stones and obtain low grade spirit stones to enhance his Absolute Fusion ability.
Unfortunately, a shabby middle aged cultivator could not take out top grade spirit stones.
A few steps further was a pill shop where he could buy pills to take back and fuse.
Unfortunately...
This whole walk left Xiao Shou feeling extremely frustrated.
So many things he needed were right in front of him, things he could normally buy freely.
Yet because of that annoying spirit treasure, he could not act freely at all.
No, he had to find a way to solve this problem.
Spirit stones and pills were not the main issue.
The key point was that he had finally arrived at a place where he could purchase large quantities of sea beasts and fusion a huge number of demonic beast cores.
Missing this opportunity would make him an absolute fool.
After thinking about the abilities of that spirit treasure Xiao Ai had described, Xiao Shou decided not to wander around further.
He casually found a nearby rental cave dwelling and settled inside.
He then used the Hidden Spirit Returning Soul Art he had created, breaking down and refining spiritual energy to permeate his surroundings.
As he released his divine sense, he began cautiously probing everything nearby, attempting to locate the inspection nodes formed by that unknown spirit treasure.
Perhaps it was due to his naturally sharp divine sense, or perhaps it was because of his prior experience distinguishing the Seven Deadly Sins from spiritual energy, but under his perception, even the slightest inconsistency could be quickly detected.
As a result, the inspection nodes that he initially thought would be difficult to find were gradually revealed one by one.
Seeing that this approach worked smoothly, Xiao Shou abandoned other methods and began recording the locations of these nodes onto a jade slip.
Based on the surrounding shops and pathways he sensed, he mapped out safe routes that would avoid detection.
Although these routes were limited to the range of his divine sense at the Nascent Soul stage, it was more than enough for his purposes.
With the safe routes established, Xiao Shou began executing his earlier plan to spread information.
He engraved everything he knew about the Seven Deadly Sins into jade slips and copied more than a hundred of them.
Then he left the rented cave dwelling and moved along the safe routes he had created.
As he traveled, he unconsciously used illusion techniques to alter his appearance and form, slipping the information jade slips onto passing cultivators without leaving a trace.
After distributing all the jade slips, his illusion transformed his appearance once again.
This time, he no longer resembled the middle aged man at all, but instead appeared as a wealthy elderly cultivator.
Of course, he also equipped his magic treasure that could adjust his cultivation aura.
Yes, it was now a magic treasure.
After a recent large scale fusion, Xiao Shou’s Absolute Fusion ability had upgraded it into a magic treasure, making its effects even stronger.
As he disguised as a peak late stage Nascent Soul cultivator, Xiao Shou felt no pressure at all.
He was walking along safe routes that avoided the inspection nodes and his combat strength far exceeded that of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.
Naturally, he carried himself with full confidence and imposing presence as he strode into various shops and market stalls.
He boldly declaring that from this moment on, he would buy out all sea beasts and inventory on the entire street.
There was no need to dismantle anything, no need to select for specific effects.
He wanted complete sea beasts, whole and intact.
Anyone who had goods could come and trade immediately.
As for change, he would only accept low grade spirit stones.
After saying this, he casually took out more than a dozen top grade spirit stones and slapped them onto the table.
Top grade spirit stones.
A single one could be reused endlessly and capable of forming a small spirit vein.
Ten or more could nurture a medium sized spirit vein and it was enough to support the prosperity of an entire family or faction.
Yet here they were being used to purchase sea beasts and he even demanded low grade spirit stones as change.
