The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 438

"Looking across the entire Starshatter Sea, there are countless shady shops that collect money and still engage in black-market dealings," Chu Xuan mused. "A store like mine, where goods are exchanged honestly and fairly, is truly rare."

He had earned the reputation of Master Liu, the Honest and Trustworthy Talismaker through his commitment to integrity. Of course, this was also closely tied to his own immense strength. After all, even Nascent Soul late-stage cultivators had fallen at his hands. Who would dare speak ill of him to his face?

...

One day, the volcanic range on Desolate Island once again rumbled with low, thunderous sounds. Occasional plumes of dark smoke, tinged with flashes of fire, shot into the sky.

Ever since the last large-scale eruption, the volcanoes had been eerily quiet, resembling wilted cucumbers in need of water. Many cultivators believed the volcanoes had exhausted their eruptions and would remain dormant for some time. As a result, they began exploring deeper into the island.

However, Chu Xuan, ever cautious, did not risk venturing further. He continued to run his small business. While delving into the heart of Desolate Island might yield more treasures, it also posed greater dangers. It was far more prudent to exchange low-cost demonic talismans for the treasures in the hands of other cultivators.

At the moment, Chu Xuan was comfortably lounging in a rattan chair inside his Studio, leisurely flipping through his demonic talisman Sutra. A few cultivators entered in small groups, selecting talismans from his store.

After spending much time studying the sutra, Chu Xuan had managed to create a variety of talismans. Not only did he craft battle-ready Soul-sealing Talismans, but he had also developed Soul-weaving Talismans, capable of turning soul energy into weapons like swords and shields. Additionally, there were Soul-repair Talismans to mend damaged souls, as well as Enhancement Talismans that amplified the power of spiritual sense techniques.

Besides his work with talismans, Chu Xuan was also skilled in alchemy, particularly in crafting healing pills, which were always in high demand. Cultivators were always keen on acquiring such life-saving items.

As the cultivators selected their talismans and pills, they exchanged stories about their recent discoveries.

"…I've heard there are a lot of ancient ruins popping up lately. Is it true? I found a broken pillar in the western part of Desolate Island yesterday. The carvings on it were quite exquisite. It could very well be the remains of an ancient sect's ruins."

"So, there's an ancient ruin underground on Desolate Island?"

"It's highly likely! My friend works for a Nascent Soul cultivator on Yellow Spring Island, and he mentioned that Yellow Spring True Master has started mobilizing most of the island's cultivators to investigate."

Chu Xuan listened intently, a thoughtful expression crossing his face. He smiled gently, saying, "Young friends, could you tell me more about these ancient ruins?"

"I'll offer you a discount of 20%," he added with a warm smile.

The cultivators' faces lit up with excitement. "Master Liu, we will speak of all we know, and with the utmost sincerity!"

After a few moments, the cultivators happily left the shop, eager to share what they knew.

Chu Xuan pondered over the information he had gathered today. It seemed exactly as he had suspected. There was indeed a great possibility that an ancient sect's ruins lay beneath Desolate Island.

Currently, the three major forces—Moon Society, Yellow Spring Island, and White Bone Island—had all mobilized. Except for the cultivators stationed at their main halls and various properties, the majority of their forces were now here. Whoever could find the entrance to the ruins first would gain the upper hand! Once that happened, the other two factions would have no choice but to make concessions in order to gain access.
