The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 460

Chu Xuan pushed open the door of the Tea Appreciation Pavilion and strode into the He family estate. The beautiful woman was waiting, with He Zha standing respectfully to the side.

Upon seeing Chu Xuan, the woman immediately broke into a wide smile and stepped forward. She handed him a small insect-rearing bag and respectfully said, "Senior, these are the three types of Gu insects you requested. If you need anything else, please feel free to contact me directly. I will do my best to fulfill your request."

Chu Xuan smiled faintly. "It's just some minor matters. There's no need to trouble the He family's cultivators."

"Let's go," he said, turning to look at He Zha. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Understood."

Chu Xuan and He Zha walked side by side out of the He family residence, moving quickly.

The beautiful woman stood still, speechless.

A He family cultivator nearby murmured, "This Senior He, it seems he is not fond of women. Even with such a beautiful lady like you, he remains unaffected."

The woman, with a melancholic expression, sighed. "He hasn't even asked for my name... Alas..."

The nearby cultivator thought she was about to give up. But the woman's resolve firmed again. "A Nascent Soul guest elder, every family would want one. This Senior He is new here, and has not yet aligned himself with any faction. We must pull him into our He family's camp."

...

Elsewhere, Chu Xuan and He Zha had arrived at Neon Garment Square on Neon Garment Island. This was the largest market on the island, managed by the He family.

Though Gu insects were often associated with the dark arts, not all Gu insects consumed flesh and blood. Many of them fed on rare and precious materials instead. Thus, Neon Garment Square also had a place for these insects.

Before long, He Zha led Chu Xuan to a group of Gu Masters. The first eight types of Gu insects were acquired smoothly, as these Gu Masters were all in the Golden Core stage and didn't dare haggle with a Nascent Soul cultivator like Chu Xuan.

In no time at all, Chu Xuan and He Zha arrived at the last location. This was a shop called "Little Insect Pavilion", located in the central area of Neon Garment Square. This part of the market had the best location and the highest prices.

Compared to the surrounding stores, the Little Insect Pavilion was unusually small, delicate, and elegantly ancient. It looked as if a pearl had been embedded in the ground. The shop was impeccably clean, with only a pleasant fragrance lingering in the air, but not a hint of the usual Gu insect odor. Those unfamiliar with it might easily mistake the shop for a place selling spiritual plants rather than Gu insects.

...

Behind the counter stood an old Gu Master in his Nascent Soul stage. The Gu Master was dressed in gray robes, his body hunched with age. He looked extremely frail, his eyelids drooping, his face gaunt and lined with deep wrinkles. Each crevice on his face seemed to tell the story of countless years of life experience.

Beside him, in a wooden box, lay a palm-sized, shimmering golden insect. This insect was the Dragon-shaped Bug. It had two horns growing from its head and scales covering its body. Aside from lacking claws and a tail, it resembled a miniature dragon, more so than any other creature.

In Chu Xuan's design, the Dragon-shaped Bug was the core of his plan. Only an insect that had the shape of a dragon, but lacked the dragon's aura—an insect with abundant vital essence, thick skin, and resilient flesh—could bear the powerful organs of other Gu insects.

The old Gu Master looked at Chu Xuan and shook his head with a sigh. "I'm afraid I can't sell it for now. Here's your deposit back." He took out three large spirit stones and handed them over.

The Dragon-shaped Bug was priced at six large spirit stones, and Chu Xuan had previously asked He Zha to pay a deposit of three large spirit stones.

Hearing the old Gu Master's words, Chu Xuan frowned. Everything had been fine before—why the sudden change?

The old Gu Master seemed to hesitate, his face showing some difficulty. After a long pause, he spoke again. "If you truly want it, I can sell it to you, but the price has gone up to twenty large spirit stones."
