Chapter 356: Chapter 354 Extermination of Immortals Divine Crossbow
The hall was dim and solemn, reeking with the intense aura of slaughter, for this was a place where heads were exchanged for Spirit Stones, and the minimum requirement was the head of a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage. Those who came and went were people who were accustomed to licking blood off their blades, giving off an extraordinarily thick killing intent.
Ning Daoran slowly approached the counter of a Foundation Establishment Elder, saying, “Fifty thousand Spirit Stones for a Golden Core Late Stage head, and three thousand for Foundation Establishment, is that correct?”
“Indeed.”
This elder did not recognize Independent Practitioner Jianjia and smiled, saying, “However, Fellow Daoist, you need to confirm the heads are those of enemy state Cultivators, otherwise, it won’t count.”
“Of course.”
Ning Daoran took out an old head; this head came from a Golden Core Middle Stage Supreme Elder of the Thunder Sect. As for the name… it didn’t matter; no one would care.
“Ah?”
The Foundation Establishment elder suddenly trembled, “Golden Core Middle Stage?”
“Exactly.”
Ning Daoran said, “This person was slain in the Mirror Flower Water Moon Secret Realm, may I claim the reward?”
“You may!”
The elder nodded his head, recorded it in the ledger, saying, “Golden Core Middle Stage, thirty thousand Spirit Stones. Someone, fetch thirty thousand Spirit Stones for this Fellow Daoist.”
“Hold on a moment.”
Ning Daoran said, “That’s not the only head.”
With that, he slapped his Storage Bag, and instantly more heads flew out, both of Golden Core and Foundation Establishment Stages, stacking on the counter like building a wall with bricks.
“…”
“???”
“!!!”
A group of Southern Heaven Palace tellers went through a range of expressions, from speechlessness at the beginning, to confusion, then to amazement, all of them dumbfounded. Who exactly was this person, to just produce two Golden Core Late Stage heads, two of the Middle Stage, and even a pile of Early Stage!
This was no small sum…
The Southern Heaven Palace, which presided over the Kunpeng Immortal City, was rich enough to be a match for a country, but the Spirit Stones exchanged for these heads were too many!
“Quick!”
One of the tellers frowned, “Go and invite the Great Elder… with such a large sum of Spirit Stones, we are not the ones to decide!”
“Yes!”
Not long after, a familiar figure appeared in the Bounty Hall, the Great Elder of the Southern Heaven Palace, the leader of the city’s Law Enforcement Team, a Late-stage Golden Core cultivator Chen Liang.
“Great Elder.”
A Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator transmitted a message, “This Golden Core predecessor has taken out many Golden Core heads. We can’t discern their authenticity, and there are only so many Golden Cores in Sangyu Country. How could he possibly kill so many at once… Could it be this Golden Core predecessor has some kind of secret method to refine the aura of Golden Core heads, and thus fabricated so many to deceive the Southern Heaven Palace for Spirit Stones?”
“Let me see.”
Chen Liang stepped forward, his gaze scanning each head, immediately shocked to his core.
“Ancient ghost of Thunder Sect?”
“Eh, and Nie Rong, the Sword Cultivator who slain several Golden Core members of my Kunpeng Immortal City on the battlefield?”
“This… Profound Flame Wanderer?”
“And… Old Man Jue Huo? Hah hah hah hah, is it really you, Old Man Jue Huo? Unexpectedly you’d have such a day, over a hundred years ago you gravely wounded me, I did not expect that today your head would fall into my hands, huh?”
Chen Liang’s expressions varied from shock, to delight, to ferocious excitement, could all be described as quite spectacular.
But one thing could be confirmed, these heads were real, the residual Divine Soul aura and Golden Core energy were unmistakably genuine.
When he lifted his head to look at Ning Daoran, his heart suddenly turned cold. Although he had never seen Independent Practitioner Jianjia, he had seen his portrait many times.
“Fellow Daoist Jianjia?”
“Indeed.”
Ning Daoran clasped his fists with a smile, “I’ve seen Fellow Daoist Chen.”
“Someone, calculate the total Spirit Stones,” he commanded.
“Yes, Great Elder!”
A Foundation Establishment Elder fiddled with an abacus and then raised his head, reporting, “Reporting to the Great Elder, two Golden Core Late Stage heads, two Golden Core Middle Stage heads, nine Golden Core Early Stage heads, and forty-four Foundation Establishment Stage heads, totaling a reward of three hundred eighty thousand and two thousand Spirit Stones.”
“That’s not a small number…”
Chen Liang said, “The Bounty Hall’s Spirit Stones combined aren’t that many, can Fellow Daoist Jianjia wait a moment? I’ll order someone to transfer the Spirit Stones from the Southern Heaven Palace Treasury.”
“Fine.”
Ning Daoran nodded, then sat down with Chen Liang, waiting.
He wasn’t worried at all about the Southern Heaven Palace backing out; after all, Lin Tiannan, the Palace Master of the Southern Heaven Palace, had a good relationship with Slaying Immortal Tower, as Shen Luoyan had said. Moreover, a Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator who has operated the Kunpeng Immortal City for many years definitely wouldn’t turn against him over this amount of Spirit Stones.
Kunpeng Immortal City was so vast, the number of Cave Mansions in the hundred floors of the Southern Heaven Palace was incalculable. Just the annual rental income alone was an enormous amount of Spirit Stones; indeed, over three hundred thousand really wasn’t much.
Certainly, not long after, a Golden Core Middle Stage Elder came over, holding a weighty Spirit Stone and said, “A total of three thousand eight hundred and twenty Middle-grade Spirit Stones, please Fellow Daoist count them carefully.”
One Middle-grade Spirit Stone is equivalent to one hundred Low Grade Spirit Stones, which is quite good. Ning Daoran’s Array and Puppet consumed Middle-grade Spirit Stones, so this saved him the trouble of having to find someone to exchange them.
“Good, thank you!”
Ning Daoran accepted the Storage Bag and said, “Fellow Daoist Chen, I will now leave the Immortal City. If fate allows, we shall meet again!”
“Alright, I bid farewell to Fellow Daoist Jianjia!”
Chen Liang accompanied him all the way to the outside of Southern Heaven Palace, watching the disappearing silhouette of Independent Practitioner Jianjia. There wasn’t a hint of ambition in his eyes, instead, a sense of profound respect emerged. As a Cultivator who had engaged in countless bloody battles on the frontiers, Chen Liang had seen too much carnage and felt the anguish of Sangyu Country cultivators slaying his friends.
Therefore, regardless of whether Independent Practitioner Jianjia belonged to the Righteous or Demon Path, as long as he could kill so many Sangyu Country cultivators, he was worthy of Chen Liang’s respect!
At the top of Southern Heaven Palace.
A seemingly ethereal figure emerged, wearing a gray and white long robe, the master of Southern Heaven Palace, Nascent Soul Mid Stage Cultivator Lin Tiannan.
“Independent Practitioner Jianjia…”
Lin Tiannan furrowed his brows: “No wonder Shen Luoyan thinks so highly of this person, to be able to sweep through the Mirror Flower Water Moon Secret Realm at Golden Core Middle Stage, even defeating famous Golden Core Cultivators like Master Jue Huo and Profound Flame Wanderer. Indeed, he is impressive. If he achieves Nascent Soul in the future… it will be remarkable. Shen Luoyan has found a treasure…”
…
Outside Kunpeng Immortal City.
Deep underground, Ning Daoran retracted his aura and used Earth Escape to go seventy to eighty li, recovering his original appearance, then he used Earth Escape for dozens of li more, and finally emerged from a forest using the Wood Escape Technique before riding the Tunneling light back to Kunpeng Immortal City.
At night.
A graceful figure appeared at the door, clad in armor with long slender legs, it was Shen Luoyan.
“Sigh…”
Inside the Cave Mansion, Ning Daoran let out a sigh, “Good for you, Shen Luoyan, appearing so brazenly. What happened to keeping a low profile as we agreed?”
But then again, it was understandable.
Ning Daoran asked himself, if he too was a Dual cultivation of magic and body Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, he would naturally not hide it; there might not be many Divinity Transformation Stage Great Cultivators who could stand as her opponent. Let alone doing ordinary things, even killing people could be done openly.
When weak, one is a person of the country; when strong, one must be an ancestor-like person – in a world where power belongs to oneself, this is simply the way things are.
“Shen Building Master, please come in.”
Ning Daoran raised his hand to open the Cave Mansion Restriction and invited Shen Luoyan in for a talk: “Old Lu, make tea, you have no sense of propriety at all. Use our best tea to serve Shen Building Master!”
“Ow ow~~”
Big Stupid Deer turned and left.
Shen Luoyan chuckled and sat down with Ning Daoran in the pavilion, her beautiful eyes glanced over at him and said, “I heard you killed quite a few in the Secret Realm, even putting Master Nandou of Sangyu Country’s Golden Core pinnacle to flight. If that’s the case… I assume you have made some progress on the task Tower Master entrusted to you?”
“I would not disappoint the Master’s entrustment.”
Ning Daoran slapped the Storage Bag and the fist-sized Mixed Element Purple Crystal floated out; he pushed it forward and the Treasure landed in front of Shen Luoyan.
“It really is Mixed Element Purple Crystal…”
Shen Luoyan revealed a joyful expression, “It is said that this item was hidden in the third layer of the Mirror Flower Water Moon Secret Realm, extremely difficult to obtain. In addition, Sangyu Country sent a group of peak Golden Cores, I only had a certain expectation before, I did not expect you to actually bring this item back for me.”
Ning Daoran smiled and said, “It was just luck for I.”
“Hmph~~~”
Shen Luoyan neither agreed nor disagreed with his remark of luck, but she slapped her Storage Bag and took out an artifact that contained an extremely rich Spirituality. It was an exquisite crossbow, cast entirely from a mysterious translucent Blood Crystal Stone, with a dark bowstring, clearly no ordinary object, and it also came with specially made arrows, more than a dozen.
“This object is called Extermination of Immortals Divine Crossbow, a Fourth-order Lower Grade Spirit Treasure.”
Shen Luoyan said with a calm smile: “At Gold Core Late Stage, I often had to face Nascent Soul, so I entrusted a Divinity Transformation Stage Fellow Daoist to refine it for me. The Extermination of Immortals Divine Crossbow is extremely powerful; if used properly, it can severely injure and even kill a Cultivator’s Nascent Soul, but you also have to be careful, a Fourth-tier Spiritual Treasure consumes a tremendous amount of Mana when deployed, so it cannot be used lightly.”
Ning Daoran’s face showed excitement; such a Treasure that strikes from the shadows was exactly what he liked.
What does a little consumption of Mana matter, exchanging Mana for an opponent’s life, this deal was too profitable!

After receiving the Extermination of Immortals Divine Crossbow, he was ecstatic; this Treasure was perfectly suited to his own Fight Technique style, and it should be one of his Life-bound Items for the Nascent Soul Stage!
“Be careful with it.”
Shen Luoyan could see his fondness and chuckled, “In my Gold Core Late Stage, my Mana was only enough for ten uses of the Extermination of Immortals Divine Crossbow, which is to say, this crossbow consumes a tenth of my Mana for each shot. You are now in Golden Core Middle Stage, and even though you have profound foundations, this Treasure must be carefully used. I do not hope that the youngest Gold Medal Killer of the Slaying Immortal Tower would fall because of a Spiritual Treasure.”
“Rest assured.”
Ning Daoran nodded: “Once I refine it, I will certainly test it repeatedly before using it, I will not place myself in danger.”
“That’s good to hear.”
Shen Luoyan nodded with a smile.
Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, Ning Daoran suddenly realized and bellowed at Big Stupid Deer not far away: “Old Lu, it’s rare for Shen Building Master to visit us, quickly set up the stove, let’s stir-fry a few dishes!
Tower Master, don’t leave just yet after dinner, try the cooking skills of Big Stupid Deer and me!”
“This, isn’t that a bit too much? Wouldn’t it be too much trouble?”
Shen Luoyan squinted her charming eyes, though she spoke politely, a gleam of “It’s about time you know your place, kid” clearly flashed in her eyes.
