That time, Gu Ping specifically went to Dongshan to find Ye You, not just to lure Zhang Hongyan and a few others. Although a Divine Period Demon Cultivator's status was not too low, it was purely an unexpected joy. Who would have thought that a Peak Foundation Establishment Outer Sect Disciple like Zhang Hongyan would stumble and fall?
When Gu Ping initially decided to go to Dongshan, he thought he could catch a few golden fish, maybe one or two Nascent Souls would suffice. Now it seemed that the demons had survived for tens of thousands of years and were perhaps starting to breathe again. He wondered if there was any collusion between the Nine Nether Invasion and the Demon Cultivators. If the two joined forces, Cheng Zong would likely have no path left but defeat.
Ye You did not comment on this. If the Nine Nether Invasion simply sought to carve out a territory in the World of Mortals, Hades and Youluo might not act so aggressively. However, if it were about The Battle of the Three Realms, then no matter how extreme things got, no one would want to provoke Bu Luo unnecessarily. The sects might clash with demons, but they wouldn't easily tolerate Dongyi, which had already fallen for tens of thousands of years.
With everything at stake and respect hard to maintain, the demons would find it difficult to resist.
So that time, Gu Ping deliberately handed over a treasure called Bloodfire to Hong Ling a month in advance, allowing her to promote it early and attract larger targets.
This treasure from the Sect was something even Gu Ping hesitated to use as bait. He had learned from the Primordial Celestial Demon that Bloodfire could be used in dozens of ways. Whether for crafting magical artifacts or concocting pills, it was indispensable—especially for refining a type of spirit called Blood Demon.
Blood Demon could help Demon Cultivators stabilize their power gained through slaughter while purging external blood energy and hidden injuries. This allowed them to take medicine without worrying about external blood energy. Almost every Demon Cultivator sought this miraculous drug, and the more they had, the better.
As for what level of demon might be attracted by this Bloodfire, even Gu Ping had no certainty. It could appeal to those at the Nascent Soul Stage or Divine Period; Combined Cultivators would also find it valuable.
As a fisherman, he naturally hoped for bigger catches. But if he accidentally got dragged into deep waters by a fish, that would be troublesome. Coupled with what he heard from Xiao Zhe, the Ancestor during his time in Dongshan, Gu Ping felt increasingly uncertain. When his Sect provided him with an Identity Jade Tablet, once it shattered, Xiao Zhe could sense its destruction immediately and rush over at top speed.
That was one of the benefits of being the sole disciple of an Ancestor—having someone looking out for him meant he could act boldly. Yet even with such preparations, Xiao Zhe still predicted his own demise; that was hardly a good omen. If he had Ye You's trump card, Gu Ping might have dared to venture into Dongshan.
With half a day left before the auction began, Ye You felt bored and went out shopping. The Fairy Market had many businesses like Sky's End Tower and various herbal shops and beauty parlors lined up. For someone like Ye You who could effortlessly advance in cultivation even while sleeping, Gu Ping could only feel envy and resentment. To them, Gu Ping was an unparalleled genius; yet in his eyes, he wondered what Ye You truly was—a monster?
Out of sight meant out of mind; Gu Ping decided to visit Hong Ling to see if there were any news about the Demon Cultivators. With half a day until the auction started and having promoted their items for over half a month now, if there were indeed any Demon Cultivators around, there should be some signs by now.
Gu Ping walked over, and Hong Ling couldn't help but tease her, asking why she wasn't with that vixen of hers. She spent all day hugging that fox, and it seemed like she had turned into one herself.
Gu Ping felt a bit awkward. Coco and Tian Di Dong were both beautiful women, and she thought she was better than them. So, she generally found Mistake unappealing. She had gone shopping, and her mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts; Gasping was no longer around.
He said he was fine and didn’t care about her identity. He truly didn’t understand how they ended up together. What about his childhood friend, Mu Yu Girl? Was he supposed to give up on her?
It felt like they had already missed their chance, and he feared it would never be made up.
Gu Ping frowned, looking troubled.
He heard that she would soon be holding a wedding with that genius from Jade Void Sect named Gan Yuan. It was almost as if they were rushing to get married before Yu Long's family. Shouldn’t he go take a look?
Wasn’t it? Gu Ping exchanged a glance with Hong Ling, and their expressions quickly dimmed. It was probably for the best; at least it was better than staying by his side, constantly on edge, not even knowing when he would be alive.
He knew that he had been causing trouble for him all day long. Not to mention the previous incidents, just think about the chunk of Bloodfire he had given him. It was such a large piece that even if a Great Master at Integration Stage saw it, they might want to snatch it away. Not to mention the Demon Cultivator; whenever that thing appeared, it always stirred up a bloody storm. Yet here he was, giving him such a big piece, fearing that it would ruin his Sky's End Tower's reputation.
He wasn’t the boss lady; if something went wrong, who would he turn to?
But could he not prepare? Was the golden signboard of Sky's End Tower something to be taken lightly? Every Sky's End Tower had an Integration Stage Ancestor guarding it to deter those petty criminals. That time he had called upon an Ancestor from the Hong Clan at Transcendence Stage; there was no problem in maintaining order. But once something left the building, he wouldn’t be able to handle it.
Hong Ling made it clear that Gu Ping and Minghong were at most life-and-death friends. If they wanted to move against Sky's End Tower or the Hong Clan’s power, relying solely on Gu Ping’s cultivation level and their little friendship wouldn’t suffice. At most, they could help Gu Ping keep an eye on things; any real action would require Gu Ping to step up himself.
