"This evening, we have everything to eat and drink. If you add fifty spirit stones, you can even choose an extra barbarian girl for a night!"
A male cultivator passing by chuckled at this remark.
Truth be told, there were indeed several barbarian girls with high-bridged noses, deep-set eyes, and strange patterns on their faces, who winked at Wu Tao.
...
These alien women, who fit the aesthetic standards of humans, although they were all snatched by human cultivators...
However, to boost their enthusiasm, the high-level cultivators in charge generally stipulated that if they gathered enough spirit stones for their freedom, they could leave directly, and no one could stop them.
Because of this, these highly anthropomorphic alien females, besides being proactive, also liked to buy jewelry, spices, and rare and precious items from their own race...
Some also wanted to engage in flesh trade and make a big profit.
...
Even some human women wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to do business.
There were also many alien men here who, relying on their racial talents and believing they possessed skills, could spit fire and swallow swords, performing various tricks that human cultivators could not, to earn some rewards.
...Big Wind Novels
If they encountered influential figures, their rewards were no less than what those women earned.
There was even a beautiful barbarian girl at this moment, performing their race's unique curved saber dance.
Don't underestimate her just because she's a woman; her arms were full of muscle, and she wielded a gleaming curved saber inlaid with gems.
Her dance steps were agile, yet she exerted immense strength. Wielding the saber, it looked less like dancing and more like combat.
Barbarians were different from humans; their dances either originated from sacrifices or from combat techniques.
...
And dance steps originating from sacrifices often incorporated actions of hunting and fighting.
After all, the sacrificial activities of barbarians were often related to hunting and warfare.
In other words, the relationship between dance, sorcery, and physical arts was often surprisingly close.
It is known that generals who kill in battle cut through enemies like melons and vegetables, and their war dances were also quite spectacular.
This was a war dance originating from the barbarian's combat techniques.
The ultimate purpose of these dance steps was not to entertain, but to kill!
...
On the other side!
A half-orc water frog was now performing the art of swallowing water and turning it into ice.
He drank large gulps of water and then, with a single exhalation, immediately spat out ice lotuses, eliciting cheers from the surrounding crowd.
Although human cultivators could almost all perform this art of turning water into ice.
However, in reality, no cultivator would stoop to the level of a mere showman by publicly displaying such tricks.
...
There was also a young boy from the Eight-Handed tribe, juggling.
He juggled eighteen kinds of human weapons with great skill. The Eight-Handed boy moved like lightning, and the numerous weapons in the air transformed spectacularly, creating a magnificent sight.
There was also a grown man from the Resurrection Clan, performing a beheading.
The man from the Resurrection Clan took a large stride and lunged towards the sharp horizontal saber in front of him.
With a bang, after his head and body separated, they immediately rejoined.
Many people watching nearby threw spirit stones under the plate, clearly acknowledging his performance.
However, a young master from a noble family, watching the excitement, was dissatisfied and said, "What's the use of ordinary mortal swords and sabers? It would be much more impressive with a cultivator's magic weapon."
With that, the young master patted his storage bag, took out a high-grade magic saber, and placed it on the standing saber stone.
The man from the Resurrection Clan turned pale with fright and quickly waved his hands, explaining, "My lord, please no! My lord, please no! My innate divine ability has no effect whatsoever against a saber with spiritual power."
The young master heard this and laughed, saying, "Hahaha, do you dislike me for not tipping you, and that's why you're unwilling to perform?"
The man from the Resurrection Clan shook his head vigorously, repeatedly stating that he dared not.
...
In the next second, the young master extended three fingers and said.
"As long as you dare to perform the magic saber escape, I will reward you with three hundred spirit stones. What do you say?"
The man from the Resurrection Clan took a deep breath. He knew he had few options left.
To save his life, the man from the Resurrection Clan immediately knelt down and kowtowed profusely, begging for mercy from the young master who was making things difficult for him.
Seeing the man from the Resurrection Clan like this, the young master sneered dismissively, finding it uninteresting, and turned to leave.
The surrounding onlookers also jeered and mocked the man from the Resurrection Clan, kicking him while he was down.
They cursed him with all sorts of insults, the gist being that he overestimated himself.
...
The true reason why the man from the Resurrection Clan preferred to ruin his own reputation rather than dare to perform the magic saber escape...
was that he was not lying.
Once he was struck by the magic saber, he would die in the truest sense of the word.
Because the incorruptible talent of the Resurrection Clan had no effect whatsoever against spiritual power.
Spiritual power was the bane of the Resurrection Clan's incorruptible talent.
If the spiritual power of cultivators was useless against the Resurrection Clan, then humans would not capture the Resurrection Clan to be slaves and servants, performing acrobatics.
Instead, it would be the other way around, with the Resurrection Clan capturing humans as pets.
After a stroll through the "Pink Fragrance Garden," enjoying the lively atmosphere and seeing various exotic customs, Wu Tao was in a very good mood...
Having stayed in Lun Ming City for a full month, Wu Tao one day gave the sisters Nangong Nan and Nangong Xing a storage bag.
In this storage bag were tens of thousands of spirit stones, many pills to enhance cultivation, and several top-grade magic artifacts, along with credentials proving their identities.
After completing all this, Wu Tao personally escorted them to secretly leave Lun Ming City to find his other two disciples, Ye Yun and Ye Qingyi.
...
Because of that Dao Rune Longevity Pill, Wu Tao was now being targeted by the Wu family.
Therefore, to free himself of all worries and be able to fight the Wu family wholeheartedly, Wu Tao had sent away the two disciples he had recently taken in, the sisters Nangong Nan and Nangong Xing.
About three to four days after the Nangong Nan and Nangong Xing sisters had left, Wu Tao pretended to leave Lun Ming City.
However, when he reached the city gate, he discovered that Wu Li was already waiting for him there.
Wu Li smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Young friend, may I speak with you in private?"
Wu Tao looked at Wu Li, then at the seven or eight Core Formation stage cultivators behind him, and nodded helplessly.
There was a private room not far away, and this room was built by the Wu family.
As the old ancestor of the Wu family, Wu Li naturally had the right to use this private room.
...
Inside the private room, Wu Li spoke in a low voice, "A month ago, I observed the spiritual items young friend purchased. Nine out of ten were related to thunder-attribute divine abilities?"
"Young friend intends to condense thunder-attribute divine abilities, doesn't he!"
"Am I correct in my guess, old man?"
...
Wu Tao nodded slightly upon hearing this and said, "Your guess is indeed correct, senior. I have recently been practicing a divine ability that requires refining thunder-attribute spiritual materials to achieve success."
...
Wu Li had said all that preamble, waiting for this very sentence.
He clasped his hands together and laughed heartily, saying, "This is quite a coincidence. I happen to have some good news!"
"Our Wu family has some connections in Mingze Prefecture. A few days ago, we discovered a treasure land with thunder attributes, located where lightning energy converges..."
"At that thunder-attribute treasure land, lightning strikes constantly. Even a slight movement will attract a large amount of thunder-attribute spiritual energy. It is the best place to condense thunder-attribute divine abilities!"
"Young friend should know about this, shouldn't you..."
...
Wu Tao was not particularly happy upon hearing this, as he knew that there was no free lunch in this world.
He frowned and said, "If such a treasure land truly exists, it is naturally extraordinary. However, you and I are not related. Why would you tell me such a secret matter?"
Wu Li heard this and laughed heartily, then said, "Young friend, you are not from our Mingze Prefecture, so you don't know that the location of this treasure land is not a secret at all. All the major families actually know about this matter..."
"I am merely going with the flow and sending someone over."
"If young friend trusts me... believe me, if not, then forget it!"
Wu Tao clasped his hands in gratitude upon hearing this.
Regardless of the actual situation, at least on the surface, Wu Li had expressed goodwill, so Wu Tao had to return the courtesy to show respect.
After seeing Wu Tao off, Wu Li instructed one of his descendants, "You keep an eye on this person. Remember, do not act rashly."
"Even if he intends to leave, you must wait for my command and not act without authorization."
...
Back in his temporary lodging, Wu Tao thought about it more and more, feeling something was amiss. However, he was unwilling to give up.
...
A flash of inspiration crossed Wu Tao's mind.
Better safe than sorry.
Since everyone knew about this thunder-attribute treasure land, it was most likely real.
And if the Wu family intended to trap him, at most they would set a trap at a certain checkpoint to capture or control him.
Since he neither wanted to be trapped by the Wu family nor give up the thunder-attribute treasure land...
The only option left was to act quickly. Before the Wu family was ready, he would go to this thunder-attribute treasure land himself and condense his first-grade thunder-attribute divine ability.
In the Wu family's ancestral residence, two cultivators in the middle Nascent Soul stage and six cultivators in the early Nascent Soul stage sat in the main hall.
Facing them was a portrait of a man.
