Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 1409  Free Stuff~

"Here, these are a few spirit stones and spiritual herbs I gathered during my time inside the ruins, I hope this will be enough for the two fellow cultivators… Ahm! In return, I hope the two of you could keep this entire situation of what just happened to yourself."

"Of course, fellow cultivators have given us so many things, it's only right that the two of us do such a small favor for you in return."

"Haha, great, then I will get going and won't interrupt the two of you any longer!"

Whoosh~!

As the wild beast tamer left without a second thought after handing out a large number of spirit stones and spiritual herbs to Chu Yang and the female cultivator, Chu Yang could not help staring down at the treasures that had been given to him with a somewhat surprised expression on his face.

During the entire ordeal, he had just silently stood to the side doing nothing as the female cultivator and the wild beast tamer conversed with each other about them not mention anything about what they saw after they left the ruins in the future.

Although he understood that the other party wanted the two of them to keep quiet about the scene they had witnessed after first passing through the teleportation formation, he had never expected for the female cultivator beside him to be so skilled and get so many things from that beast tamer. Especially considering that she had not just secured a large number of spirit stones and spiritual herbs for herself but had also helped him get an equal number of treasures for essentially doing nothing but stand at the sideline.

"The person just now isn't a beast tamer, but instead the current successor of the Deep Pit City Lord, he didn't want information of what just happened to spread and potentially affect his chances of inheriting the position as the city lord in the future."

Seemingly understanding what he was thinking about even without him saying anything, the female cultivator promptly explained the identity of the wild beast tamer. Allowing Chu Yang to understand why the other party had willingly handed them so many treasures without a second thought to try and silence the two of them when it came to what they had just witnessed him doping with those two poor demon beasts.

Of course, even though Chu Yang had a feeling that all of this wasn't that simple, he decided to not think too hard about it as he had already been given a large number of free resources and treasures for essentially passing through a teleportation formation at the right moment.

As for fear of the other party retaliating against the two of them after they left in the future, he wasn't too worried, as the other party was only at the Seventh Stage of the Domain Lord Realm. Far too weak to threaten him.

At the moment, he guessed that the only thing that might come from what had happened today would be that he and the female cultivator would have someone keep an eye on the two of them during their time inside the Deep Pit City.

Even if this would be a bit uncomfortable, it wasn't really anything he cared too much about as long as the other party only intended to keep an eye on him to ensure he didn't break the promise that had silently been established after received the large number of spirit stones and other precious gifts.

Not really anything that would affect him considering that he had no plans of exploring the Deep Pit City any more than he already had and was instead planning on leaving the city after he had finished his trip to the ancient ruins.

Of course, the situation could always change in the future, but at least at the moment, Chu Yang had no intentions of sticking around the Deep Pit City for an extended period of time. Instead planning to head deeper into the neutral territory where more opportunities could be found.

After all, staying in the Deep Pit City where the main source of income for wandering cultivators was to enter the ruins in search of ancient stones with carvings of ancient text on them, wasn't really something he intended on using his time on. Having no lack of spirit stones at the moment.

As for any other treasures of opportunities that might be hidden inside the ancient ruins… Chu Yang didn't expect to find any with his current strength, as it was rather clear that the core regions of the ruins were dangerous even to someone in the Soul Ascension Realm and the locations he could move around in with his Domain Lord Realm strength had long since been picked clean by other Domain Lord Realm cultivators over the years.

Not to mention, outside of Domain Lord Realm cultivators, Chu Yang was almost certain that there would have also been a few Soul Ascension Realm cultivators cleaning the Domain Lord Realm parts of the ancient ruins to make a few easy spirit stones and pick up anything that the Domain Lord Realm cultivators had ended up missing.

In the end, the only location that might still be hiding something precious at this point in time would be the core of the ancient ruins, a place that even Soul Ascension Realm cultivators dreaded, with no small number of Soul Ascension Realm cultivators having perished there in the past.

A place best avoided at the moment under all circumstances…

"Are you going to continue exploring the ruins? If you are, do you want to explore them together? I'm quite familiar with the place and know some of the better areas where treasures are relatively easy to find, and danger is low."

Just as he was lost in his own thoughts, the words of the female cultivator echoed out beside him. Waking him up from his momentary thoughts and forcing his attention back to the current situation.

"No need, I will just take a look around myself for a bit after leaving."

In the end, Chu Yang decided to not take her up on her offer to explore the ruins together, both because he still didn't entirely trust her and second because there was no way for him to know if she would lead him to some kind of dangerous location that he wouldn't be able to escape with his current strength.

After all, the ancient ruins had claimed the lives of several Soul Ascension Realm cultivators in the past and he had no idea if that was due to some kind of powerful demon beasts lurking inside the ruins or some kind of ancient offensive formations.

No matter what, it was best to be cautious when in unfamiliar territory. Especially so when it came to ancient ruins that were often filled to the brim with all sorts of ancient trapping formations that could kill an unsuspecting cultivator before they even had time to react.

"Hm… I see, farewell for now then and remember to be careful in case that guy ends up trying something on you!"

Not dwelling on the situation after hearing Chu Yang's refusal, it also seemed like the female cultivator understood the thoughts behind his answer as she soon turned around and left the place without a second thought. Moving deeper and deeper into the ancient ruins before finally disappearing from view.

In turn, this gave Chu Yang the opportunity to finally left out a breath of relief that he had unknowingly been holding in since the first time he met her.

The reason for this was simple, his disguise. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Although the disguise was done to the best of his ability, if any of those two Domain Lord Realm cultivators had ended up observing him a bit closer and used their divine sense to observe him, they would have discovered his actual appearance and in turn also noticed his extremely young age, something that was best kept hidden considering that it would definitely end up drawing unwanted attention if his real age and cultivation realm were to spread.

Luckily, it was considered rude and foolish to recklessly use your divine sense on someone else.

Rude because divine sense was not restricted the same way normal vision was, while being foolish because it was often seen as offensive and might cause the other party to attack you.

Because of this, most people would normally not recklessly use their divine sense when encountering someone they were unfamiliar with, as the other party might end up being some kind of ancient monster far beyond their realm of strength.

Though this was not as much of a thing in the outer parts of the continent where the Star Shattering Sect was located, it was especially important in the core region where cultivators in the Dao Seed Realm and above existed.

Even more so because some of these figures would wander the world from time to time to deepen their understanding of the dao. Making them the worst kind of people to accidentally end up offending…
