Chapter 204: Tianshan Sect’s Tian Xue (2/2)

“What? Five? Impossible. This is too little. At least 8,” The youth immediately bargained.

“Hey! You vendor, other people only sell their map for three spiritual stones. The buyer already offered five and you still feel that it’s too little? Do you take others as a fat cows?” Cheng Yu was about to bargain when a woman’s voice was filled with disdain came from behind him. Cheng Yu turned around and took a look. He saw the woman was wearing a plain green clothing and her hand was holding a longsword. There was no traces of delicateness in the woman. She was dressed in a tomboyish way, making her seem very capable and experienced. She had traces of loftiness, but also a heroic aura.

And beside the woman were four other men and two women. Their dress code was the same as this woman. They were probably disciples from the same sect.

“This…this lady. My map isn’t something that can be compared to those ordinary maps sold on the market. This is the newest one. The price will naturally be a lot higher than the others,” Hearing the woman’s words, the vendor’s expression immediately tensed up.

“Who are you trying to scam? Isn’t it because he doesn’t understand the map? If you continue this nonsense, I will smash your stall,” The woman’s complexion turned ugly. She pulled her longsword out by a few inches and said tyrannically.

“Er…, this…this lady, please pardon me,” When the vendor saw the woman was about to unsheathe her sword, he was intimidated as he quickly replied while shivering. In Luminous City, a grade two city, ordinary sparring was allowed. But they must not kill. Therefore, the vendor was truly afraid that this woman would beat him up ruthlessly, then it would not be worth it.

“Just three spiritual stones is already thinking very highly of you,” The woman said disdainfully.

“This…ok! Three then,” The vendor wanted to retort, but when he see the woman staring at him, he quickly changed what he wanted to say.

“Foolish kid, why are you still stunned. Three spiritual stones. Give it to him!” When the woman saw Cheng Yu was still foolishly standing there, the woman used her sword and poked him.

“Ah? Oh oh. Here, three spiritual stones,” Cheng Yu reacted and took out three spiritual stones to give to the vendor. And then, he kept the map.

“Miss, thank you. I almost got swindled by him,” Cheng Yu stood up and saw the woman was looking at him. Hence, he said gratefully.

“It’s fine. They would usually swindle those that are new here. Oh right, you wish to enter Death Forest?” The woman waved her hands and said unconcernedly.

“Yes. I heard that this place is very suitable for Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators for training. Therefore, I came over to train,” Cheng Yu smiled.

“Alone?”

“En.”

“I am called Tian Xue, a Tianshan Sect disciple. These few people are my Senior Brothers and Sisters. We are also intending to head into Death Forest. How about following us?” Tian Xue introduced herself. Actually, the reason why Tian Xue chose to help Cheng Yu was because she saw he was alone. Furthermore, he had the strength of Foundation Establishment late stage. Therefore, she wanted to pull him into her group. This way, it would increase their overall strength.

“It turns out that is Tianshan Sect Senior Sister. I am called Cheng Yu. I am very grateful towards Senior Sister’s invitation, but I can’t agree,” Cheng Yu glimpsed past all the Senior Brothers and Sisters. They were all at least in Foundation Establishment middle stage. While Tian Xue and another male possessed the highest cultivation. Both were in Foundation Establishment late stage. The few males looked at Cheng Yu in an unfriendly manner, there were hints of disdain in their gazes. As for the other two girls, they were constantly sizing Cheng Yu up.

“I believe this should be your first time entering Death Forest. Perhaps you might not know, this place might be suitable for Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators for training, but a majority of people who come here enter in groups. With your current cultivation, when you enter, don’t even talk about your harvest, once you come across other small groups, you might not even be able to keep your life,” When Tian Xue saw Cheng Yu actually wanted to enter alone, she advised him.

“Thank you, Senior Sister, for the reminder. However, I still intend to head in there alone,” It was not Cheng Yu being bold, but because he was not familiar with these people. Tian Xue might seem to be very thoughtful, but for the others, it was hard to say.

Besides, they had so many people. Once there was something good, there would not be anything left for him. Cheng Yu was basically there to add some deterrence. Most importantly, his actions would be restricted. If Cheng Yu was alone, he could leave anytime he want and stay when he wanted. If he were to follow them, everything would need to be discussed with them. It was too troublesome. In any case, with his current strength, even if he couldn’t contend against others, running away was not an issue to Cheng Yu.
