<h4>Chapter 1799 (Raw 1811): People of the Demonic Dao</h4>


    The ck Cuss entered the Pirate Hall without any problems. Then, Xiao Chen and the others split up.


    Xiao Chen brought the Iron Hand Yama and Xiao Suo to dispose of the materials that they collected from hunting ferocious beasts in the Ash Gray Sea. Of which, the most valuable was naturally the mountain-sized shell of that ck Profound Turtle.


    Elder Tang brought Luo Nan and Fei`er to handle the pirate ship’s maintenance and repair.


    “There are so many Demonic Dao cultivators.”


    The Pirate Hall was a city. Walking around there was no different from walking around an ordinary city.


    Xiao Chen saw that most of the passersby were Demonic Dao cultivators—a rare sight in the Grave Sea and other ces.


    The Iron Hand Yama exined, “I heard that the Righteous Dao sects and the Demonic Dao sects had a huge war many years ago. The Demonic Dao sects were defeated, and most of them were forced to abandon their interests in the Central Great Realm, retreat to the forbidden seas, and reestablish themselves. Only a few extremely strong Demonic Dao sects managed to remain in the Central Great Realm.


    “Although the forbidden seas are rich in Spiritual Energy, with plenty ofnds of fortuitous encounters, the environment is very harsh. Furthermore, the Spiritual Energy in the forbidden seas naturally contains some demonic nature. Few Righteous Dao sects would establish their sects in a forbidden sea.”


    Xiao Chen revealed an expression of understanding. No wonder he had previously met so few Demonic Dao cultivators.


    Even if he had met a Demonic Dao cultivator, that person’s cultivation would not be high,pletely unremarkable.


    Now, in this Ash Gray Sea’s Pirate Hall, Xiao Chen rarely saw people of the Righteous Dao. They were mostly either pirates or Demonic Dao sect cultivators.


    Furthermore, most pirates actually cultivated Demonic Dao Cultivation Techniques and baleful energies; they were no different from the Demonic Dao cultivators.


    No wonder this Pirate Hall looked very sinister from a distance, giving him an ufortable feeling.


    Xiao Suo turned to Xiao Chen and asked, “Big Brother, are we going to the market or the shops?”


    Opening a stall in the market was convenient and afforded more freedom. If one managed to meet a person who urgently needed an item one had, one could demand a high price.


    The shops were more direct. One would need only moments toplete a transaction.


    However, the price would not be up to one.


    “The shops, then.”


    Xiao Chen decided quickly. This Pirate Hall was rather chaotic, and something might happen at the market.


    Shortly after, the group asked around and found out that there were threerge shops in this Pirate Hall that bought materials.


    Hence, the group casually picked the Fantasy Cloud Pavilion and walked in.


    “Honored guests, are you here to purchase Dao Tools?”


    A manservant assigned to weing guests went over immediately with a smile.


    The Fantasy Cloud Pavilion could manufacture Dao Tools and thus had a high demand for materials like the ck Profound Turtle’s shell.


    Hence, it would also be the one to give the fairest price. When the manservant saw Xiao Chen’s group, he thought that they were here to buy Dao Tools.


    “No, we are here to sell materials. Do you ept them here?”


    The manservant’s expression wavered, but he still kept smiling. “Yes, we do take them. No matter what kind of material it is, you will be able to get the best price at the Fantasy Cloud Pavilion. When our Fantasy Cloud Pavilion does business, we do it honestly, neither cheating the young nor the old. The prices are fair.


    “What are the few of you selling?”


    The manservant led Xiao Chen’s group inside, politely asking them about their goods.


    “A ck Profound Turtle’s shell and the bones and essence blood from other ferocious beasts.”


    “A ck Profound Turtle!”


    At the words “ck Profound Turtle,” the manservant’s eyes lit up, and he asked somewhat excitedly, “How old was the ck Profound Turtle?”


    “More than one thousand years.”


    “Honored guests, this way, please.”


    Upon hearing that the ck Profound Turtle was more than one thousand years old, the manservant immediately rejoiced. He even changed his address of the group back to honored guests.


    Then, he led Xiao Chen’s group of three straight to the VIP room of the Fantasy Cloud Pavilion.


    “Please wait for a moment.”


    As Xiao Suo watched the manservant leave, he could not help saying, “How exaggerated! Although this ck Profound Turtle shell is precious, such treatment is still unwarranted.”


    The Iron Hand Yamamented casually, “The Fantasy Cloud Pavilion probably has a valued guest that urgently needs the ck Profound Turtle shell to refine a Dao Tool. I heard that such turtle beasts spend most of their time in hibernation. They have almost no aura in such a state, appearing dead. Hence, they are very hard to find.”


    Xiao Chen drank some tea and smiled. “Let’s just y it by ear.”


    —


    “Senior Brother Ou, someone is selling the ck Profound Turtle shell that you specified.”


    After the manservant left the VIP room, he went directly to an elegant room in the Fantasy Cloud Pavilion. There, he spoke to a ck-d youth who looked handsome and somewhat sinister.


    When the youth heard that, he revealed a shocked expression. He could not hide the excitement in his eyes as he asked, “How old is it?!”


    “The other party said that it was more than one thousand years.”


    “Great! Hahaha! With a ck Profound Turtle shell more than one thousand years old, I can finally seed in making my Essence Attracting Treasure Armor.”


    The youth became wildly happy and excited. He stood up and said to himself, “With the Essence Attracting Treasure Armor, I will be more confident on the trip to Myriad Star Mountain.”


    “Where is that person? I will meet him personally.”


    The manservant quickly led this ck-d youth to the VIP room where Xiao Chen was.


    The ck-d youth pushed the door open and entered. He swept his gaze over the three and immediately made out their cultivations.


    In the end, the ck-d youth fixed his attention on Xiao Chen. He could tell that this white-d person was the leader of the group despite being just a Major Primal Core Venerate.


    “How may I address this young master? I am Ou Zhenyun, the Young Master of the Fantasy Cloud Pavilion.”


    The ck-d man greeted Xiao Chen, then took a seat.


    “Xiao Chen.”


    Ou Zhenyun did not bother speaking any nonsense or could not care about Xiao Chen’s origins. He straightforwardly said, “Take out the ck Profound Turtle shell and let me have a look.”


    Xiao Chen looked around at the VIP room and said, “This ce is too small. How am I supposed to do that?”


    Ou Zhenyun smiled and said, “That’s true. Come with me.”


    After speaking, he pped his hands, and a wall in the VIP room spun, revealing a door. He took the lead and entered.


    Xiao Chen and the others followed behind Ou Zhenyun. After they entered, they found a whole world in there; it was actually an independent space that was vast and boundless.


    “This ce should be big enough, right?”


    Rather than answer, Xiao Chen waved his hand and took out that gigantic ck Profound Turtle shell.


    It was like a mountain instantly appeared before everyone.


    This startled Ou Zhenyun. He eximed in excitement, “This...this should be a five-thousand-year-old ck Profound Turtle. It must haveprehended the Water Great Dao, right?!”


    Xiao Chen was slightly surprised. He nodded and said, “It is as Young Master Ou said; that ck Profound Turtle did indeedprehend the Water Great Dao.”


    “Five thousand years is a hurdle. Once past this hurdle, the ck Profound Turtle willprehend the Water Great Dao; the value of its shell would naturally be different.”


    Ou Zhenyun appeared rather calm at this moment and did not expose his emotions to Xiao Chen and the others.


    He continued, “The turtle shell contains traces of the Dao. After it is refined into armor, its defense will be even more astonishing. It will even be able to help its masterprehend the Water Great Dao and calm its master’s mind. To us people of the Demonic Dao, that is something hard toe by.”


    When Xiao Suo heard that, he could not help rejoicing in his heart. They hade to the right ce.


    Ou Zhenyun looked at Xiao Chen and said, “I am rather curious. How did you kill this ck Profound Turtle?”


    “I cannot say.”


    Naturally, Xiao Chen would not foolishly tell the other party.


    Ou Zhenyun felt slightly stunned. Then, he smiled and said, “Sorry for the offense. It’s settled, then. I want the ck Profound Turtle shell.”


    Xiao Chen asked, “Young Master Ou, are you going to refine the ck Profound Turtle shell into armor?”


    “That’s right. I want to refine it into an Essence Attracting Treasure Armor. I will give you a reasonable price: two million Medial Grade Spirit Jades.”


    The moment Ou Zhenyun said that, Xiao Chen’s expression changed slightly. That was the price of an ordinary ck Profound Turtle shell.


    The ck Profound Turtle shell that Xiao Chen was selling should be at least double this price.


    “Let’s go.”


    Xiao Chen put away the ck Profound Turtle and turned away, leading the Iron Hand Yama and Xiao Suo.


    Ou Zhenyun said helplessly, “Have I finished? Also, an Inferior Grade Dao Tool. This is my personal purchase. I already spent the rest of my Spirit Jades on other materials and have only two million Medial Grade Spirit Jades left. However, I can make some decisions here. I do have the right to give out an Inferior Grade Dao Tool.”


    He had not expected Xiao Chen to take out a ck Profound Turtle shell of such high quality.


    Otherwise, two million Medial Grade Spirit Jades would have been entirely sufficient to purchase a ck Profound Turtle shell.


    Ou Zhenyun could only make a loss and let the other party choose an Inferior Grade Dao Tool.


    An Inferior Grade Dao Tool could sell for two or three million Medial Grade Spirit Jades. Such a price was rather fair.


    Xiao Chen thought for a while, then looked at the Iron Hand Yama and said, “You happen tock a weapon that suits you. It is settled, then.”


    Ou Zhenyun smiled and said, “Go to the second floor. Someone will receive you there.”


    When Xiao Chen’s group had left, Ou Zhenyun’s expression immediately changed radically, revealing an incredibly sharp murderous intent. “After they leave, keep a close eye on them.”


    “Young Master, we are doing business. This is not honest,” the manservant reminded as he looked at Ou Zhenyun, feeling unwilling.


    Ou Zhenyun smiled strangely and retorted, “We are people of the Demonic Dao. Do we need to be honest?”
