The Resurrecting Overlord

Chapter 23 - Friendly Banter

Dong Xian rubbed his stomach as he had just ate a rabbit stew. The rabbits here were so delicious, because this was a place filled with high amounts of Spirit Qi. This was the original reason why the Great Demon Clan has even be set up here in the first place, and also the real reason why Feng Li and company attacked them. As long as they had this area, their sects would be able to grow to become important ones in Xian Valley.

It was a pity he could not sit down to cultivate, as he had already been tainted by the pure Demonic Qi type body he currently inhabits, unable to absorb even a shred of Spirit Qi. He could only cultivate by feasting on beings with Spirit Qi. Still, no one could tell the difference from his original body, as the material used to make it was just so high quality, without any flaws at all.

He took out the Space rings and looked at the manuals inside. They were mostly Low quality, run of the mill manuals. Most of them were duplicated from each other. He had already absorbed each of the manuals, gaining a measly 1 Currency with all of the manuals combined. He had at first wondered about how they had even got so far with their cultivation in 50 years, but he then when he saw the Life Implosion technique, all his doubts were cleared up.

He had to pay respect to whoever whipped up this plan. If not for him, the bunch of sect masters would have succeeded, advancing everyone's cultivation using the bountiful Spirit Qi, even if they were practicing the Demonic Arts, as they were still ultimately low ranked demonic cultivators.

The 1 Currency was used to buy Escape Jade. It could help him to teleport to a safe area 1 mile away no matter what circ.u.mstance he was in, unless it was an existence equal to the godly Underworld, which had granted him this system in the first place.

After he had rested sufficiently for the last stretch of the journey back to civilisation, he packed up his magical cooking utensils and started his walk.

However, out of the sudden, a bunch of people dr.a.p.ed in green overalls shot out of the bushes. They then assembled in a group, looking at Dong Xian. A rough, screechy voice rang out, "What do we have here? A fellow cultivator in our Spirit Beast hunting zone?"

Dong Xian warmly said, "Pardon me intruding on your space, I'm just passing through at the moment. I'm just a small person trying to return back home." He did not want to waste his energy trying to fight people, as that would delay his progress.

"Is that a Space ring on your finger? Give that to us and we will let you go!" One person yelled out, as he spotted the valuable Space ring residing snugly on Dong Xian's finger.

"Shush! If he has a Space ring, he must be backed up by a higher power." The person speaking turned to Dong Xian, "Where are you from? I'm affiliated with the Nine Leaf Sect. We would like to make friends with you."

Dong Xian accepted their request to make friends since they appeared to have no malicious intent towards them. He then took out some random pills and manuals from his Space ring and gave it to them to ink their friendship. Later on, maybe he would be able to absorb some of their sect's manuals.

After saying goodbye yet again, he walked for three days and three nights, repeating the cycle of eat, drink, sleep. This was apparently the supposed hunting grounds of the Nine Leaf Sect, an orthodox sect, and also unofficially the grounds of the Great Demon Clan. This meant that only insane cultivators in Xian Valley would intrude here.

It was not long when Dong Xian emerged from the wilderness into the outskirts of Tai Empire, Lower Emity. Dong Xian still looked good and fresh, as he was wearing specially tailored clothes that cleaned themselves. It was literally what the attendants wore in the Great Demon Clan.

A group of cultivators suddenly walked by Dong Xian. They did not say anything, as they knew that he must be another cultivator just like them. In Tai Empire, cultivators were plentiful, as common as water. In fact, cultivation manuals were even distributed freely in Tai Empire, to show how generous the emperor and the current dynasty are.

Dong Xian was amazed by the amount of cultivators in just Lower Emity alone. His town was a far cry from the populace of Tai Empire in cultivating. Just here alone contained 50 completed Spirit Stage cultivator, from how much spirituality they were emitting, they would soon form a core soon and join the Core Stage cultivator.

After gawking at the cultivators, Dong Xian decided to rest at an inn here for the night. He had arrived exactly at sunset, after rushing here upon realising it was growing late.

Dong Xian walked around to try and find an inn. He strode into every available inn there was, but they kept saying that it was full already. The innkeepers also could not fathom the reason why cultivators were gathering here all of a sudden. They normally had little guests, but they had received an influx of guests this month. The innkeepers were just normal people who just wanted to have a peaceful life, so they did not take note of important events.

At last, Dong Xian could not find any inn to hold him. He sighed dejectedly, deciding to try his luck at some of the houses away from the inns.

*Knock Knock Knock* Dong Xian hit the wooden door rapidly three times with his b.a.r.e knuckles. "Yes?" A pair of eyes shined as the door cracked open. "May I live at your house? I need to stay here for a few days. I will provide remuneration." "Why not? Come in." The door opened fully to invite Dong Xian in.
