Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 120 Curse Master

The visitor expressed regret upon seeing this situation.

"Is this how you exorcise a cursed spirit? What a shame. You just burned half a million in a fire."

A middle-aged man who looked like a passerby shook his head repeatedly as he watched Lu Chen destroy the cursed spirit, his words full of regret.

Lu Chen was a little confused. Could there be some special meaning behind this? Could this uncle who looked like a passerby actually be a master of the world of spells?

So, with an open mind, I quickly asked, "Is there anything wrong with what I'm doing?"

"First, to exorcise the cursed spirit, you need to use a tent to conceal it. Using your abilities so casually in front of ordinary people will inevitably lead to hidden dangers."

Lu Chen answered this question confidently: "I don't know how to use the tent. I use the spells based on instinct. When faced with an attack, I have to fight back, right?"

As someone who had just traveled through time, being able to destroy the cursed spirits with his abilities was already quite impressive. As for using the spells, Lu Chen hadn't memorized them at all, and he also didn't know how to use them.

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and nodded. "Is it all based on instinct? Then it seems that your fire-controlling technique is very powerful."

Lu Chen thought that since this person had already misunderstood his spell as fire, he should not correct him. Although telling others about the spell could increase its power, keeping it secret was also a strategy.

Informing the public about his technique was actually a form of restraint, a choice made to increase its power. However, Lu Chen preferred more despicable means.

The middle-aged man glanced at Lu Chen casually and asked, "You're not from here, are you? I know almost everyone in the warlock circle here. Of course, they're mostly people who work privately."

Lu Chen became secretly alert: "Well, he just came from somewhere else." The substitute also quietly emerged.

The middle-aged man said in a firm tone: "So you are a wild sorcerer? Don't be nervous, I won't attack you suddenly. I have never seen a curse spirit like you." He saw the substitute released by Lu Chen, but he thought it was a driven curse spirit.

Lu Chen was also a little surprised. He had used his double to easily ambush people in several worlds. He didn't expect that anyone here could see it.

Lu Chen looked at this person and didn't think he was from any official organization. But he still asked, "I think so. After all, I haven't registered with any official organization. Are you from some official organization?"

The fact that this middle-aged man could say these words might mean that he must be a member of a certain family, or a faculty member of that school.

The middle-aged man deliberately revealed a sinister expression and said, "I'm not from any school. Do you know the Curse Master Group? I'm just a Curse Master. But don't panic. We are also driven by profit to take action."

Lu Chen glanced at the middle-aged man speechlessly. After all, he was also a member of an illegal organization. However, since he could see his substitute, there was no need to release it.

In the eyes of the middle-aged man, Lu Chen did not have any identification on his body, but it was easy to tell that he was not from an official organization or academy.

Because Lu Chen did not abide by the rules of the magic world. Although this is not actually mandatory, they would do so under normal circumstances.

Moreover, people of Lu Chen's caliber usually had assistants and supervisors when they went on missions; only those wild sorcerers would act alone. Lu Chen looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. He was wearing ordinary clothes, but he could see that he seemed to be carrying several talismans and a dagger on his waist, but it was unclear whether it was a spell tool.

Curse casters have always existed, even though the previous Q organization was destroyed by Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru. However, such organizations will always exist. Not everyone will be recruited by official organizations, and many sorcerers cannot tolerate the rules of the sorcery world.

Seeing that Lu Chen didn't say anything, the middle-aged man continued with a sigh, "The most unfortunate thing is that there are people who are offering a reward for these cursed spirits. So any one of them can be sold for as high as 50, and the more powerful ones can be bid even higher. You know, you just burned 50."

Lu Chen was not very clear about this information. All he knew were important information about Sukuna, Nozomi, and Gojo Satoru.

So, I asked curiously, "Is there anyone buying these things? Don't cursed spirits usually just destroy them?"

The middle-aged man explained, "You don't know about that, do you? I heard that the people from the Banking Sect are buying these up in large quantities. Their leader has changed. Now the most evil curse master, Geto Suguru, is controlling the organization. Otherwise, curse spirits of this level wouldn't be worth the price. Ordinary Shikigami users wouldn't look down on curse spirits of this level. They'd rather find some slightly more powerful helpers."

This is not information worth hiding, and it is easy to obtain this information as long as you are in this circle.

Lu Chen nodded after hearing this. So, is Geto Suguru already the leader of the Panxing Sect? It seems the time now should be after the Jade Origin arc and before the One Hundred Demons Night Parade.

Since this guy has been doing the commentary for most of the night, I'll take this opportunity to ask the question: "Why did they take the initiative to acquire the Curse Spirit?"

The middle-aged man replied nonchalantly, "Who cares why they want to buy these cursed spirits? We just make money from them. We serve whoever pays us. This is how we survive."

Lu Chen echoed: "That's true, we have to live too."

Generally, such complaints can easily attract the agreement of middle-aged people.

The middle-aged man immediately started complaining after hearing this: "It's really hard for people like us to survive in the current world of Jujutsu. The school and the three great families have squeezed our living space to the extreme."

Lu Chen agreed repeatedly: "Who said it wasn't? These days are really too sad."

The upper echelons of the magic world are extremely conservative and closed-minded people who control almost everything in the magic world.

The middle-aged man complained for a long time before inviting Lu Chen: "I see that you are quite good at wrapping curse spirits with steel wire. Do you want to join me in capturing curse spirits? Those people from the Panxing Sect didn't lie. They took away every curse spirit. We have to take advantage of this time to make a fortune."

He seemed to be explaining so much to Lu Chen in order to call Lu Chen to catch the curse spirit together. Sure enough, he had been watching Lu Chen fight the curse spirit from the beginning. Because Lu Chen was using the steel wire at the beginning.

Lu Chen still had several gold coins on him, so he didn't have to worry about living expenses during this period, but it would be no problem for him to go with this middle-aged man to see the scene.

The only concern now was whether this person was trustworthy. Curse Masters, just hearing the name, suggested they wouldn't abide by the law. They were very likely to harm someone.
