"If that’s the case, let me pay this 1500 Gold Coins."
Although Yang Zongxian couldn’t quite understand why the lodging was so expensive, since Huai Ye said that, he guessed that this dormitory area must not be simple. For someone like Huai Ye, who even found fault with Bai Feng Tower, finding a place she’s satisfied with was no simple task.
After taking the 1500 Gold Coins Yang Zongxian handed over, before he could speak, a voice sounded in his ear.
"Trial ground modification complete!"
Success!
Wen Ping was secretly delighted. His initial intention to invite Yang Zongxian and the others for tea was wholly forgotten.
"Respected Demon Chef, Clan Leader Yang, you can rest assured at my place. It’s getting late, and since non-Immortal Sect people shouldn’t stay too long at the Immortal Sect, I won’t keep you two any longer. Safe travels!"
"Alright... By the way, Sect Leader Wen, may we visit tomorrow?"
Yang Zongxian and Huaikong felt a bit helpless in their hearts after hearing that.
They were being ushered out too quickly.
"Sure."
Wen Ping agreed, then saw them off from the Immortal Sect and walked through the night to Churao Mountain. Standing at the mountain top of Churao Mountain under the night sky, two square iron houses rested there.
One hundred meters long, one hundred meters wide, and thirty meters high. Wen Ping chose one and took a look inside. It wasn’t a two-story building; it was a separate space, empty and unobstructed.
However, Wen Ping knocked on the iron wall with his hand. Given his Body Refining Thirteenth Layer realm, normal steel could be broken with a punch, but after knocking and striking a few times, the only change was to his hand.
The back of his hand turned red.
"Host need not test further. Even the Profound Realm cultivator cannot damage the trial ground’s iron walls."
"So sturdy?"
"Of course, anything produced by the system is top quality! Next, the host is invited to purchase fierce beasts for trial in the trial ground."
Here it comes!
Wen Ping already knew, more money would have to be spent.
He really hated his woman-like intuition, guessing everything correctly.
He had over twenty thousand Gold Coins in his arms, but there was always this inexplicable feeling of emptiness, like he was going to become poor.
"How much Gold Coins does it cost this time?"
"The store opened in the trial ground currently only has two types of fierce beasts, which can automatically adjust their power based on the trial taker’s strength. The first is named Kui Niu, sold for 5000 Gold Coins. It can be adjusted up to the Profound Great Demon strength."
After hearing system’s words, Wen Ping saw the introduction of Kui Niu.
Kui Niu: In East Lake’s Liubo Mountain, enter the lake seven thousand miles. There is a beast on it, shaped like a cow, azure-bodied with no horns, has one foot, when it enters or exits water there is wind and rain, its light is like sun and moon, its sound like thunder, its name is Kui. Make drums from its skin, use Thunder Beast bones as drumsticks, the sound travels five hundred miles.
"A rare mythical demon!"
The Immortal Sect had already gathered a Lingyu and a Ba Snake, both were creatures that only existed in legends, which most people wouldn’t see in their lifetime.
Now another Kui Niu was appearing, was this a plan to gather all the famous demons under the heavens?
Gold Coins, it’s worth it.
"The second is named Chi Ru, also priced at 5000 Gold Coins. Combining the two will simultaneously train land and water combat abilities."
Immediately following, Chi Ru’s introduction popped up.
Chi Ru: Grows in Wing Marsh, shaped like a fish with a human face, its sound is like mandarin ducks.
Wen Ping laughed: "Another demon that everyone has heard of, but no one has seen. Locking two renowned demons in this strength field, won’t the Demon Race come to the Immortal Sect to beat me up?"
The system ignored Wen Ping’s associations and continued: "Fighting demons in the trial ground grants a 3x combat skills gain increase, with a 5% chance to enter a War Intent State, where combat skills gain increase to 600% during the current period."
"Impressive!"
In the path of cultivation, aside from time-consuming Hidden Cultivation, honing one’s combat skills likely takes just as much time for a cultivator.
Many people spend years, practicing tirelessly every night, just to master a move to perfection.
Countless failures, day by day of tireless practice, all for the sake of improving their combat skills.
Why do this?
The reason is simple.
The strength of one’s abilities and combat techniques often determine the strength of their power.
At the same realm, those who frequently battle with demons are often much stronger.
There are even situations where with the same realm, same power, same cultivation technique and martial arts, the outcome is crushing.
This shows that for a cultivator, the importance of combat skills is no less than mastering a Vein Technique in the Body Refining Realm!
If one has both, killing across vastly different Great Realms would no longer be a myth.
