Hundred horns rhino weigh around 1-2 tons. With that much meat, Jaime made some dried meat. For a week, he kept busy with his demonic beast carcasses. He also tried to use the horns and the skin to make something useful. Then that morning, Jaime met his second arch enemy, another inner disciple of Bamboo Peak.
“So you really hunted that demonic beast?”
“Yes, I did.” Jaime glanced at a woman around thirty in front of the cave. Usually, most inner disciples of Bamboo Peak hide in the cave; only when he was really unlucky would he meet someone that would squash him dry.
“Don’t lie to me; I could sense that you aren’t even in the elementary realm. How could you kill a demonic beast, which is at least in the elementary realm?” The woman didn’t look cold; instead, she gave the feeling of lust and danger at the same time. She was the type who liked to gain attention the most, but would happily kill or torture anyone that tried to take a bit of her, a natural-born sadist.
“I am a humble person and the most honest person under the three realms. I dug a big hole wholeheartedly and waited a few days for the demonic beast to jump and send its meat to me. That was how I could gain the demon beast’s meat, and the beast also didn’t feel cheated. Because it was just an unlucky accident, that Hundred Horns Rhino beast can only blame its own luck.”
“You don’t face it one on one like a man? You have no honor!” The woman sneered.
“I am so sorry, my father never taught me anything about honor. He thought honor was big bullshit and caused people to die faster. For my goodness' sake, his future grandson and our clan's next generation, he taught me our family’s number one martial art, which dates back 8000 years ago and has been carefully refined by each patriarch to its best, the art of kissing ass. He hoped that with this art, I can survive this hard life and one day will be the king of three realms.”
The woman laughed. “Whatever, now you have the demonic beast’s core, right?”
Jaime found a small crystal inside the demonic beast and knew it as the demonic beast’s core. The core had some spiritual energy which may help cultivators with their cultivation.
“I have two with me and am willing to present all I have to the mistress.” Jaime took out two small azure crystals.
“I have no need for those lowly beast cores.” The woman sneered again. “I am getting tired of these bamboo glasses and mugs; I want a set of ceramic food ware. Get them for me.” She threw a set of bamboo glasses and mugs at Jaime’s face.
“F**k, who do you think you are? Princesses who may charm any guy under heaven? Cause them to be stupid fanatics and throw their money just to make you smile! F**k, with your face and body, any horny bastard won’t even like to touch you even for free!”
“The most beautiful princess under heaven...” said Jaime without any anger. He is clearly implying under heaven as in hell, maybe some hungry spirits there will find this woman attractive and think her as a beautiful princess. “This lowly servant has no money, no family and friends, nor knows any loan sharks to borrow money to buy a ceramic set. If I’m needed to sell my body to get a set of ceramic, I will do it for my princess.”
“No need to sell yourself, you don’t price that much, worth none. Just sell your demonic beast cores in the market and buy me a set.”
Jaime tried to reason. “This lowly slave doesn’t know any market, nor dares to go to any market because this lowly slave will get bullied till he forgets his mother and father's face.”
The woman threw a jade with writing ‘third Bamboo Peak’. “The market is in the middle of Double Moon Sect, if anyone dares to bully you, just show it to them. I will castrate them. Next week when I come out of my cave, I want to find my new set of ceramic!”
“Beautiful sister, it isn’t good to follow your desire. Find your life’s purpose in happiness, not desire. Wanting a ceramic set is a shameful desire. A beauty should not want any ceramic set, nor have the desire, so you can cultivate smoothly. I am saying this because I care about my beautiful sister.”
“You know, you are funny. Your birdie is a source of desire, do you want this sister to help remove it for you?” The woman glanced at Jaime’s lower body.
“Sister will have a set of ceramic in a week!” Jaime humbly bowed. One without power could only blame their own bad luck.
Jaime didn’t need to ask anyone about the marketplace’s location. He exchanged a few of his mental energies with the Book of Karma to get the information.
Near the gate of Bamboo Peak, a chilling sound hit Jaime’s back like thunder.
“Where do you think you are going?”
Jaime found no one but still bowed down humbly. “This lowly slave was given a task by a beautiful goddess to buy a ceramic set at the market.” He took out the jade.
“Third senior sister?” The voice fell silent for a while. “You may go, but remember to buy a set for me too.”
Jaime’s face became very ugly, it really tasted very sour. “I want to talk about desire. Having desire....”
“What does desire have to do with your head?”
“Acknowledge, one set of ceramic...” Rotten luck.
“Hu Hai, I had given you an offering, you better find these two ancestors in hell and bully them! They bully your brother here!”
Jaime wanted to cry but he couldn’t. Even the dumbest housewife would stop shouting in front of her angry husband, even if that bastard cheated her badly, because she would only invite the black and blue. She would let her husband sleep first, then castrate him. Well, maybe giving him poison in his dinner is also agreeable.
In the Double Moon Sect’s market, Jaime made his way to a very big road with a large number of people busy buying or selling. Lots of bargaining and shouting could be heard. There were shop signs on some wooden huts, but mostly sellers just laid their mat down and put whatever garbage they had and sold them as treasures along the street.
Jaime visited a vendor and met an old guy seller. “Honest seller, this lowly one wants to sell two demon beast cores, as asked by this one.” He showed the jade. “How much is its price?”
The old guy sneered. “Those two cores are from a low-rank demonic beast. Even if you throw it on the street, no one will bother to take it. But giving face to Third Inner Disciples of Bamboo Peak, I will take both for two spiritual stones.”
Hearing that answer, Jaime determined that the seller didn’t cheat him because they really gave face to the inner disciples. Jaime took two small spiritual stones. It seemed like the currency used in this place was spiritual stone. The stone was only the size of a thumb but filled with Heavenly and Earth energies or spiritual energy which would benefit the cultivators.
[Spiritual stone is a stone that has been nurtured by heavenly and earth energies for at least ten thousand years and contains a lot of spiritual energies inside. One spiritual stone in this place equals 100 taels of gold or 10,000 taels of silver. One spiritual stone with proper cultivation would be able to bring a normal human to the doorstep of the Elementary Realm. This stone is widely used as currency for cultivators of spiritual energy.]
He walked around and checked every item on sale. He discovered people selling talismans, weapons, books, and some broken stuff. Passing the crowded stall, he heard the seller shouting. “These pills were made by Violet Peak Division. As we all know, the best pill makers in the whole Double Moon Sect are inside the fourth division, Elder Jie and Grandmaster Xhu. I promise none of these pills will disappoint you. Get them before they run out. Healing pills [White Flower pill] only 25 stones each, Strengthen pills [Heaven Ox pill] 40 stones, Cleaning meridian pills [Cloud Mist pill] 1,000 stones, Junior Realm breakthrough pills [Winged Horse Pill] 1,500 stones, Senior Realm breakthrough pills [First Dragon pill] 3,000 stones.”
“This [First Dragon] pill will make sure you become a dragon among men, becoming an inner disciple or even a core disciple, quickly boosting your cultivation to Senior Realm! It is limited, only 10 [First Dragon] pills appear once a year, and only 5 will be sold! You are lucky to find it today. Come, come...” People with no money could only silently pass the stalls, head held high, showing they don't need those pills, yet inside, they are bleeding, demanding those pills.
Finally, after wandering for a few minutes, Jaime found what he needed the most, a ceramic seller.
“What is the price of a set of ceramics?” Jaime asked an old man who pointed to a ceramic mug, plate, glass, and pot.
“100 spiritual stones for a set.”
“F**k! Make it one spiritual stone for a set. I’ll take two sets. Here are two spiritual stones.”
“Do you think your father runs the Double Moon Sect!” The seller immediately got angry and hit the stall table.
“No! But the owner of this jade thinks her father runs the Double Moon Sect!” Jaime threw a jade at the seller.
The seller looked at the jade and laughed loudly. “Third inner disciple of Bamboo Peak, you don’t scare me. Don’t think that you can rob me by showing this jade.”
Jaime frowned because that jade had emptied his pockets.
“Go back and tell her, ‘Screw her daddy’! This grandfather is a core disciple; how could I be scared by some random inner disciple! I have a higher position inside this sect.”
Back at Bamboo Peak, a voice without a shadow shouted as Jaime stepped through the gate.
“Where is my ceramic set?”
“A set of ceramics costs 100 spiritual stones! I don’t have it. Give me the spiritual stones, and I will buy it for you.”
“How much did the third senior sister give you?”
Jaime angrily shouted. “She gave me nothing except this jade. But this jade couldn’t buy anything or scare anyone.”
“When will the third senior sister receive her ceramic set?”
“Next week!”
“Then I will give you nothing and will get my ceramic set next week!”
“You guys are bullying people too much!” Jaime wanted to cry.
“I think if you couldn’t give the third senior sister the ceramic set, she will castrate you and roast it. I am different; I will be kind to you and only take your eyes out.”
Kindness is the last thing I want from this world!
I am the almighty hunter! This whole jungle is mine! All the animals and demonic beasts bow to me!” Jaime ran for his life. Four demonic beasts were chasing him restlessly. “F**kkkkkkkk!!!”He jumped and two demonic beasts fell into the hole-traps behind him. The other two kept chasing him a few meters before they fell into the next hole-traps.Without resting, Jaime jumped into the hole, killed the demonic beasts, and sucked out their own-less energy. His level advanced to level 21, Junior Realm. These last four days, he was working like crazy, killing as many demonic beasts as he could.With bloodshot eyes, he cut the demonic beast’s head and collected their core. Finishing the work, he looked around. There were fifty demonic beast carcasses. Some had started to decay and turned smelly.No matter how hard Jaime worked, reaching 200 stones for two sets of ceramics seemed to be impossible. He only had 50 low-level demonic beast cores worth 50 spiritual stones, even though he had been
A shadow suddenly flashed in front of Jaime, a cold sword appeared out of nowhere and stopped at Jaime’s neck.He didn’t dare move a single finger as the sharpness of the sword had slightly sliced his neck skin.“Dear goddess of beauty, I am really sorry, I never intend to peek at anything. Please believe in me. I am the most honest guy of three realms. If you don’t believe me, you can ask any random person passing by, they will tell you how honest I am as a human.”The girl wore white robe and appeared in Jaime vision. Her eyes looked a little curious.“What? You don’t know me? I am very famous,” said Jaime quickly. “I am a slave of Bamboo Peak; I make food and wash your clothes every day. I was there to take fishes for your breakfast. Not having any dirty mind.”The girl’s eyes suddenly appeared resolute and the sword moved to cut Jaime’s neck. Seem like slave really had no reason for life.“Wait! Wait! I am not a slave for real. I am future king of three realms. But now I am here b
At the moment he walked out the gate of bamboo peak, surprisingly a silhouette flashed and stopped him.The cold girl stood there like a stone, she was wearing black veil to close her face, leaking a flower scent from her body and her dark long hairs were fluttering by the wind like a shampoo advertisement.“You dare to run away!” The killing intent was so thick causing Jaime uncontrollably pouring cold sweat. Xiao Yun had regretted letting Jaime escape with his life.“No... No... No... Please believe me, I just want to go to the market and buy things to make pill for you. I don’t have a cauldron and herbs with me right now. Even if I have three legs, I won’t dare to run away from you. I had been searching for you for thousands of years. This man may run because of a demonic beast, but will never run away from you, before making you happy. You can kill me if I lie to you.”Xiao Yun stared coldly. “I follow. Move.”At the market, Jaime felt an icy cold chill at his back whereever he mo
“Alright, tell them, if they succeed in making pills, this shop will be happy to buy it on market price.” The old lady took care of the order. “The total price is 5.700 spiritual stones.”Jaime turned his face to Xiao Yun. “You know I don’t have money. When I finished the pills, I will pay you back with 5% interest.”Jaime thought that Xiao Yun must be very rich so he put orders for making a lot of pills and space storage pouches too. He would take any opportunity while he could.“Don’t have anymore. That was the last of my savings.” Xiao Yun coldly answered, causing Jaime to be frozen.She is broke?Xiao Yun looked at Jaime and sighed deeply. She threw a jade bottle to the old woman.“First Dragon Pill!” The old woman checked pill inside the jade bottle. “It is priced about 3.000 stones market place. I will take it for 2.900 stone. So, added with your 3.000 spiritual stones and minus your buying stuff, you still have 200 stones left.”Jaime smelled a faint scent from the pill and bec
The bird screeched with pain as the formation symbols one by one suddenly shone brightly and flew to ram into the bird’s body.The fire element essence slowly sucked out from the bird’s body and flew into small formation inside Jaime’s dantian. It caused Jaime to feel his body burning.All of his meridians, meat and bones boiled by the fire element essence.Soon he fainted by the over painful process but the process did not stop there. The big formation symbols kept squeezing the fire element essences out of the bird’s body and forcefully pushed it into Jaime’s dantian.The progress has been running for four hours, until the entire fire element essences were gone from the bird. Inside the space near Jaime’s dantian, there was a core of fire which kept burning.Yet, he fainted for the rest of the day. As he awoke, his body felt warm with the sensation of burning in his stomach. He knew that he had succeeded to get his own fire. At night, Jaime made a big fire inside of Xiao Yun’s cave.
“I am a natural born slayer of the women’s hearts ~~~, the knight in shining armor that a thousand beauties dream of~~ If you don’t believe me, look at how crazy this girl is chasing me! Wanting my only heart~~” Jaime is running wildly, Xia Xia closing in, chasing Jaime’s only heart madly.A few minutes ago, when Xia Xia launched her most powerful attack at Jaime, that lowly slave threw dust in her face and shouted. “Bone poisoning dust attacked!”It never crossed Xia Xia mind that Jaime, who is already dead meat in her eyes, would launch a shameful attack. The dust hit her eyes and she missed her attack.Jaime turned his body quickly and escaped for his life. Under normal conditions he would never do such a reckless move! But that crazy girl already left him with no way out.“Following her wish will only lead me to my death, not following is death too. Better chose the best way to death. Spit at her face and die peacefully!”He clearly understood, poisoning Xiao Yun isn’t easy. Xiao
In his free time, Jaime made a space storage pouch. He cut a soft demonic beast skin as big as two hands.He drew complex looking symbols and formations in the middle of it. In his mind, he already had information and experience in making space storage pouches.He even could make the pouch with eyes closed. But the problem was his low level and insufficient spiritual and mental energies.Working half a day without rest, he tried to squeeze every ounce of his energy to make one space storage pouch. Unlike normal storage pouches with space of 5-10 meter cubic inside the small pouch, Jaime only succeeded in making a space storage pouch with 2 meter cubic space inside.The space inside the pouch wasn’t even stable and could only hold for two or three months. Usually, normal storage pouch will last for thousands of years.All of this is caused by his low level and low mental and spiritual energies.In a few days Xiao Yun has succeeded in cleaning out her wild Yang’s energy, which usually r
“When I speak no one understand me. So I don’t speak. Therefore, people don’t need to understand me. I don’t need to understand them either. I need no one. I care for no one. I understand no one. But, why there is always a longing for someone with a warm heart to understand me.” I am so cold here.Xiao Yun woke from her cultivation but her awareness couldn’t detect Jaime’s presence near the cave. “Where did he go?” Xiao Yun closed her eyes again.“No one will come for you, because no one will ever need you.”“When you need someone, you will only get hurt. Forget people, forget everyone. You need no one.”“This lonely life will be your curse; you will awake but be inside the prison of your heart. You will live and die in that heart’s prison.”Tears fell from Xiao Yun eyes... a very soft voice could be heard... “Help me... I am not that strong.”***“Why we are here?” said a skinny guy bellow waterfall looking at his fellow brothers.“Whoever lost from that Bamboo Peak’s disciples figh
