This cultivation world was never serious from the start.

"Oh, it was rented..."

Su Zhe sighed, feeling somewhat reluctant.

He had just said that the airship was fast and suitable for them.

The result is that it has to be returned in the blink of an eye.

However, Su Zhe is not an unreasonable person.

Since the Demon Lord of Forgetfulness had spoken and was staring at him expectantly, Su Zhe felt embarrassed to continue monopolizing the flying boat.

He took out the tiny flying boat, no bigger than the palm of his hand, from his pocket and reluctantly returned it to the Demon Lord Wangtian.

The Demon Lord of Forgetfulness finally breathed a sigh of relief, carefully put away the flying boat, and stuffed it into the storage space in his right arm.

Finally, we can return the airship to the Airship Alliance!

No more waking up every day to a debt of one hundred spirit stones!

"But we're now part of the Demonic Sect, do we still have to follow these rules so strictly?"

Su Zhe asked a question out of curiosity.

Upon hearing this, the Demon Lord of Forgetfulness paused, his expression filled with distress. "There's nothing I can do. The shared flying boat is too powerful; a Golden Core expert is stationed here..."

Otherwise, even the Demon Lord of Forgetfulness might want to turn against you!

The Mechanical Ascension Division directly seized control of the Shared Flying Boat Division and blatantly promoted the culture of the Heavenly Demon Sect!

However, the head of the shared flying boat branch spat out the golden pill and performed a ball-catching acrobatics right in front of him.

The Demon Lord of Forgetfulness calmed down immediately.

"Doesn't our Heavenly Demon Sect also have Golden Core experts?" Su Zhe asked.

That Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor was at the Golden Core realm, and it seemed he was also the guide of the Forgotten Heaven Demon Lord.

"Have you ever seen a demonic sect where members help each other out?"

The Demon Lord of Forgetfulness glanced at Su Zhe.

The Heavenly Demon Sect has very strict assessments for each Demon Emperor, requiring them to perform a certain number of extraordinary feats each month.

So naturally no one stood up for him.

"That makes sense," Su Zhe nodded.

After retrieving the flying boat, the Demon Lord Wangtian was in a great mood.

"Why don't you guys check out the market? Just grab whatever you want."

The Demon Lord of Forgetfulness spoke with a smile.

"Wouldn't this be a bit inappropriate?" Zhang Haizhu was taken aback.

That's way too direct.

He still prefers to be tactful.

For example, you might suddenly collapse in front of someone else's stall, then ask for three or five hundred spirit stones, and after recouping the spirit stones, go and buy other people's things.

At least they paid me.

"We're all from the Heavenly Demon Sect, what's there to be afraid of?" said the Demon Lord of Forgetfulness in a nonchalant manner.

The cultivation world is inherently a dog-eat-dog world, and the demonic sect has taken this to the extreme.

"That makes sense." Su Zhe nodded.

Moreover, everyone here is a member of the demonic path, and each of us has some shady dealings on our hands.

We cannot forget the true colors of those evil cultivators when they forcibly seize and plunder others just because of the pitiful expressions on their faces.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go now!" Zhang Haizhu was eager to try.

In Tianwen City, his staged accidents were exploiting loopholes in the city's laws; it was clearly intentional, yet he still managed to extort money from injuries.

I'm still somewhat curious, even expectant, about this kind of forceful plunder.

Since all three of them are now disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect, they can do whatever they want without disgracing the Heavenly Questioning Sect!

Thinking about this, Su Zhe also felt a sense of anticipation!

The Demon Lord of Forgetfulness was quite righteous; he immediately sent the three back to the Grass Market and told them, "Go ahead and rob with confidence. I'll cover for you if anything goes wrong!"

He didn't believe that a Golden Core expert could suddenly appear in a mere grass market.

……

In the market, Li Ergou was looking for what he needed with a list in hand.

Along the way, he also encountered many fellow Daoists he had known before.

"Senior Demon Lord Liantian, how did you become a soul?" someone couldn't help but ask.

Li Ergou remained unfazed. "My soul body is more comfortable, and I've found a Soul-Suppressing Banner at the half-step Foundation Establishment level. With a little refinement, I can forge a Ten-Soul Banner. At that time, I'll be invincible in the Qi Refining realm!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the evil cultivator, who had been waiting to see the joke, suddenly changed his expression.

"It's actually... the Ten Soul Banner? Congratulations, Senior! Congratulations, Senior!"

The person who spoke immediately adopted a respectful expression, his voice filled with trembling.

The Demon Lord of Refining Heaven relished the fear in his opponent, nodded without changing his expression, and floated over the opponent's head.

Soon, he had collected most of the materials from the market.

When these people heard that he had come to refine the Ten Soul Banner, they all offered discounts or even sold at a loss, just to form a good relationship.

Li Ergou understood the group's ulterior motives and accepted them all.

His life savings amounted to only one or two hundred spirit stones, so he would save as much as he could.

The list was already full of horizontal lines, with only one item left: something called the Millennium Bones.

As the name suggests, this is the bone that has not yet decayed from a corpse that has been dead for more than a thousand years.

Such a corpse must be buried underground for a thousand years, absorbing the essence of the earth's veins, and never see the light of day, in order to have a slim chance of becoming a spiritual object, the Thousand-Year Bone.

This thing is a true treasure for evil cultivators. Although it cannot compare to the Soul-Suppressing Banner, which is a rare and precious treasure, it is still something that would make a group of demonic cultivators fight tooth and nail for it.

A single bone can enable a cultivator specializing in yin and evil to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and can also elevate the quality of a cultivator's magical artifacts to a higher level...

If Li Ergou hadn't had prior knowledge that a thousand-year-old bone had appeared in this grass market, he wouldn't have dared to guarantee to Su Zhe that he could gather enough materials to repair the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Soon, Li Ergou arrived at a stall.

Relying on his previous cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining, he managed to squeeze to the very front of the crowd.

Although many evil cultivators were dissatisfied, they silently swallowed their anger upon sensing the peak Qi Refining cultivation level of that person and took two steps back.

At the very front of the crowd, Li Ergou immediately spotted the situation at the stall.

Behind the stall was a cultivator who looked quite young, probably only eighteen or nineteen years old. Although he was wearing a mask, you could still tell from his movements that he was still a bit green.

There weren't many items on the stall: some not particularly valuable, sinister objects, and a rectangular box, the contents of which were unknown.

In the very center is a jade box; through the translucent white jade, one can clearly see what's inside.

A section of forearm bone!

The bone was crystal clear, even more flawless than the jade box, and shimmered with a faint light in the night. It was obviously a top-quality item!

"It's actually the bone of a Foundation Establishment cultivator! This is top-grade thousand-year-old bone; it could be used as a Foundation Establishment Pill!"

Around them, a fellow evil cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining spoke up with a look of surprise.

Upon hearing this, Li Ergou immediately sensed something was wrong.

The quality is too good, and other evil cultivators at the peak of Qi Refining are eyeing it. He only has 130 spirit stones left, so it might not be easy for him to acquire it.

"Little guy, how much is this thousand-year-old bone?" a heretical cultivator asked.

"Starting price: 100 spirit stones."

The stall owner deliberately lowered his voice and spoke.

Sure enough, Li Ergou's expression changed slightly.

Fortunately, a voice rang out at that moment, "This bone, my Heavenly Demon Sect wants it!"

P.S.: I overslept, so this is just the first update. I'll finish the rest around midnight.
