CHAPTER 870: CHAPTER 870: TEN THOUSAND BEASTS CITY

The Sect Leader of the Yunxiao Sect was in a heavy, conflicted mood, not only because Yunxiao Sect lost two elite disciples.

More so because Zhao Sheng and Feng Jie, these two fools, went to the Qingshan Sect without permission and even demanded people without any investigation, simply ridiculous.

It’s no wonder they couldn’t bring anyone back.

The most important thing is, they startled the snake, allowing Chen Nan to escape. If Xu Wencheng finds out, it’ll be disastrous.

Nevertheless, the Yunxiao Sect did not conceal the matter. The Sect Leader felt that admitting the mistake early was much better than being discovered later and having Xu Wencheng bear a grudge.

So he sent someone to inform Xu Wencheng about the situation.

Not long after, Xu Wencheng, disheveled and in a state of undress, arrived in the Yunxiao Sect’s main hall, looking very angry.

"I asked you to investigate, and you actually went to capture people without permission? Now that Chen Nan has fled, which one of you will tell me what to do?!"

Xu Wencheng’s stern shout made the Sect Leader and Elders of the Yunxiao Sect, whose cultivation level was clearly higher than his, dare not speak up, each retracting their necks like quails.

"Fools, now where am I supposed to find Chen Nan?"

The Sect Leader of the Yunxiao Sect gently sighed, cupping his hands as he said, "Young Master Xu, the two disciples of our sect were also rushing to make contributions, which is why they spoiled your plans."

"Rest assured, our Yunxiao Sect will definitely do our utmost to find Chen Nan’s whereabouts!"

Xu Wencheng let out a cold snort, considering the many female disciples of the sect found for him by the Yunxiao Sect in the past few days, ultimately did not erupt in anger.

"Fine, I give you three days. If you still can’t trace Chen Nan’s whereabouts, then there is no need for your Yunxiao Sect to exist!"

These words were really arrogant, yet no one in the Yunxiao Sect dared to laugh, after all, behind Xu Wencheng stood a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Peak.

With such a background, who would dare provoke him, even if he walked sideways?

...

On the other side.

It took Chen Nan another three days to finally arrive in the city outside the Wuyin Mountain Range.

Every day, a large number of cultivators enter the forest, and a large number of cultivators return from the forest, whether it’s natural treasures or demon beast materials.

Even the corpse of a demon beast, as long as it’s brought back from the Wuyin Forest, has value.

To facilitate trading and to provide a place for passing cultivators to rest and relax, a town gradually formed here, eventually developing into a city.

Named: Ten Thousand Beasts City!

Opening outside the Wuyin Forest certainly facilitated many trades and made it convenient for cultivators, but it was not absolutely safe here either.

Every few years or decades, a beast tide would emerge from the Wuyin Forest to assault Ten Thousand Beasts City.

Fortunately, the powerful demon beasts had all developed intelligence, dividing territories in the depths of the Wuyin Mountain Range, rarely coming out easily.

Thus, despite the presence of beast tides, Ten Thousand Beasts City remains standing against all odds.

Looking at the towering, dark city wall, Chen Nan felt a sense of killing intent. Beneath the city wall lay buried many demon beast remains.

"So this is Ten Thousand Beasts City; truly extraordinary!"

Chen Nan had only heard tales of Ten Thousand Beasts City previously, but seeing it now, he realized the stories were not false.

Such an enormous city, accommodating millions of beings, like a giant beast lying outside the Wuyin Mountain Range, was incredibly awe-inspiring at first glance.

After wandering the city for a while, Chen Nan began searching for a place to buy weapons.

He had no choice; he left the Qingshan Sect in such a hurry, initially planning to acquire a few more legacies, hoping he might get a more powerful weapon.

Who knew he’d leave before even starting.

After killing Zhao Sheng and Feng Jie, even though he acquired their weapons, Chen Nan was very dissatisfied, as they were defective products among Ninth-grade Spiritual Artifacts.

Moreover, these two were very poor, since the Yunxiao Sect was only a third-rate sect.

As for the Frost Sword he got after killing Liu Tong earlier, Chen Nan didn’t dare use it.

Considering even the Yuantian Sect’s disciples would come to the Wuyin Mountain Range to train, the Frost Sword was too conspicuous, recognizable at a glance.

Therefore, Chen Nan wanted to find a handy weapon; otherwise, if he encountered an enemy, he’d be at a disadvantage fighting barehanded.

After searching along the street, Chen Nan chose a shop named Myriad Phenomena Commerce, and directly walked in.

This shop was large in scale and appeared to be one of those major chambers of commerce. Although the prices inside might be higher, they provided more assurance than small shops.

"Senior, may I ask what you need?"

A female cultivator brightened upon seeing Chen Nan, as such a handsome customer was rare.

Realizing that even this maid had a Foundation Establishment-level cultivation, Chen Nan secretly marveled, indicating that this Wan Tong Commerce was indeed unusual.

"I wish to purchase a weapon."

"Ah, I see, please follow me." The female cultivator smiled gracefully, leading Chen Nan to the left side of the first floor, where weapons were sold.

The dazzling array of weapons was overwhelming, whether it was sabers, spears, swords, halberds, or other unconventional weapons, they had everything, and even spiritual artifacts above the fifth rank were quite common.

Besides weapons, they also sold armor, such as shields, breastplates, and even dresses and outer garments for female cultivators.

"Senior, look at this weapon; although it’s only a seventh-grade spiritual artifact, it’s the work of the master craftsman Du Gushou, fused with precious materials like Golden Crystal and Mithril."

"And the price isn’t high, only three thousand mid-grade spirit stones."

Upon hearing the price, Chen Nan was so startled he hiccupped, nearly choking.

Three thousand mid-grade spirit stones, equivalent to thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones. Despite his recent non-stop alchemy and after killing Liu Tong, Zhao Sheng, and Feng Jie, robbing their storage bags,

it still wasn’t that many spirit stones.

Initially, after acquiring these three people’s savings, Chen Nan thought it was a lot, but now he realized the spirit stones weren’t enough to spend.

Also, he had given most of the spirit stones to the sect, leaving only about ten thousand low-grade spirit stones for himself.

So, he was directly discouraged by the price.

He couldn’t afford it; he simply couldn’t afford it.

Noticing Chen Nan’s difficulty, the female cultivator realized his spirit stones weren’t abundant, yet showed no disdain, instead introducing an eighth-grade spiritual artifact longsword.

"Senior, this spiritual artifact may only be eighth grade, but its price is only a third of the previous longsword, just a thousand mid-grade spirit stones."

Chen Nan still shook his head; he even considered selling some items.

Feng Jie and Zhao Sheng’s storage bags held a variety of miscellaneous items; selling them could also exchange for some spirit stones.

As for Liu Tong’s items, Chen Nan didn’t dare sell them yet, fearing Master Xuanming would trace the clues.

"Can you show me some ninth-grade spiritual artifacts instead?"

Now he only needed a handy weapon for the time being; he could upgrade later.

"Alright, this way please," the female cultivator nodded, leading Chen Nan to another counter, where ninth-grade spiritual artifacts were displayed.
