Tainted will

Bai Ming also bought a tie-4 formation base for six thousand spirit stones now he was left with zero spirit stones, he didn't immediately leave after completing his purchases, he began looking at the prices of various treasures, pills, beast core, medicinal herbs, martial skills and so on. This will be helpful to price the items he will sell in the future.

Suddenly Bai Ming's gaze landed on a particular piece of paper.

'Soul binding vow, tier 3 is for 5,000 spirit stones, tier 4 needs 12,000 spirit stones, as for tier 5 it costs around 20,000 spirit stones...' Bai Ming rubbed his chin as he pondered for a moment.

Bai Ming suddenly moved towards a counter and began selling his belongings, he immediately sold all the beast cores he collected so far, he had nearly fifty-plus tier 4 beast cores, nearly a hundred tier 3 beast cores and only dozens of tier 2 beast cores. Originally Bai Ming had a lot more but after placing so many formations during his last fight his beast cores stock had gone down.

After selling all the beast cores, Bai Ming made a whooping 86,000 spirit stones.

Bai Ming quickly brought off four tier 5 soul-binding vows, his spirit stone storage fell to six thousand spirit stones once again.

Bai Ming then left the lotus treasure Pavilion and coldly looked across the street. When he went upstairs, he had already noticed someone spying on him, so he left a trace of his divine sense on that person. When he came out, he noticed that that person was in the inn across the street.

There were quite a few people in the inn, including three Spirit realm cultivators next to the person Bai Ming had left a trace of his divine sense in.

Bai Ming hadn't caused any trouble recently, but that doesn't mean others wouldn't cause trouble for him. Everyone had their own desires and aspirations. If Bai Ming can kill others can also kill him, it was simple as that.

Bai Ming pondered a bit and decided to not confront them immediately, he quickly walked back to his inn. Bai Ming was aware that they would not attack him in the city. Unless they could instantly kill him without making a commotion, this was due to Teng zhe a supreme mortal realm cultivator's sole existence.

Bai Ming avoided moving in the air, as there was a no-flying rule in Teng city.

He only walked for a bit before a black-clothed cultivator arrived at the spot where Bai Ming stood previously. He looked in the direction Bai Ming moved in and licked his lips. His eyes were filled with greed. This cultivator was one of the people that was bargaining on the first floor when Bai Ming entered.

This person was named Wu hai. He was one of the disciples of the Evil Dao valley a first-rate valley of the demonic path in the Tiannan province, who had come to buy stuff in Teng city. When he saw Bai Ming being escorted to the third floor, he was tempted and casually took a few glances before watching from the inn across the street. He even sent a message out through his voice transmission jade to his fellow Evil Dao valley disciples who were also in town buying stuff. After a long time, he saw Bai Ming leave and calculated that Bai Ming must have gotten some treasures. Wu hai couldn't help but get some evil ideas.

But he couldn't see through Bai Ming's cultivation base, and this made him want to back down, but when his fellow inner disciples arrived with some outer court elders, he was very happy and explained everything in detail.

Besides him, more than Twelve people appeared, Four of them were at the core formation realm stage, another three were at the initial spirit realm stage just like him and two at the third layer of the spirit realm. But the last three of them were covered in black fog.

These five cultivators with higher cultivation were the ones that Bai Ming had failed to notice.

Wu hai turned around and respectfully said, "Elders, I can't believe that you three are in Teng city as well. I'm sure that person must have some good treasure on him."

A husky voice filled with anger said, "Wu hai, you exaggerated too much. I thought it was really a peak spirit realm cultivator. Hmph, how could a mere newly advanced spirit realm cultivator have any treasure? What a waste of time."

Another person covered in black fog said, "You, damn it!" his hand reached out to slap Wu hai.

Wu Hai's face immediately became pale and he knelt on the ground. He chattered, "Disciple…everything disciple said is true. Aside from me guessing his cultivation level wrongly, disciple…" The fear caused his words to become incoherent.

None of the other Evil Dao valley disciples revealed any expressions. Some even felt joy watching his misery. Seeing this made Wu hai's heart become even colder. He saw the hand come closer, then suddenly had an idea and shouted, "I… I remember now. He asked the worker at the lotus Treasure Pavilion if there is any tier-5 formation flags, magical treasures, and pills!"

In truth, Wu hai didn't hear those words clearly, but in this stressful situation, he began to make stuff up. As he spoke, even he himself began to believe that maybe that person really was there to buy these tier-5 treasures.

The hand suddenly stopped. A husky voice said, "Pills and even formation flags? Wu hai, do you know the consequences of lying to me?"

Wu hai tightly clenched his teeth and said, "Disciple is willing to bet his life on it." He couldn't help but bitterly smile in his heart. If he didn't promise now, then he would die the moment they left the city, so he might as well risk it. He was going to die anyway, but if he was right, then he would get to keep his life.

The third outer elder who still hadn't said a word finally said, "It doesn't matter if he is telling the truth or not. Let us just go and see for ourselves."

The moment those words came out, the three of them no longer hesitated and quietly followed after Bai Ming. The other disciples quickly followed them. Wu hai wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and secretly cursed but still followed them.

The three outer elders of the Evil Dao valley came to Teng city to have a very secret meeting with a powerful Yin-Yang void cultivator, Now that the meeting was over, they were free to move.

As for Bai Ming, he quickly returned to his room and sat in a lotus position, placing certain defensive restrictions in the room. He lightly tapped his bag of holding, a pair of majestic purple beast wings flew out.

Bai Ming once again carefully inspected this pair of wings, this pair of wings belonged to Purple Crown beast, a tier-5 bird-type demon beast. Even among the Tier-5 demon beasts the purple crown beast was a top-tier beast in the speed department. This was exactly what Bai Ming had desired.

Bai Ming quickly undressed and began turning the purple wings into a liquid using the method mentioned in the Beast wings transformation art.

After spending four hours, he finally managed to convert it into liquid form.

Bai Ming then opened his mouth and spat out a ray of green light. The green light turned into a flying sword and moved behind him slashing at his back.

It was an extremely ancient sword. An evil aura was being released by the sword. That made it so that one couldn't help but stare at it.

This was the flying sword he had gotten from Ji wumeng's storage pouch, after breaking the tier 6 restriction placed on it, Bai Ming was finally able to touch it.

It turned out that this flying sword was a superior-grade treasure. Not only that this sword's special ability is teleportation. The distance varies depending on the spiritual power of the user, but, when used unexpectedly, it is an excellent ace.

Bai Ming's expression was indifferent. His breathing was relaxed as ever, red hot blood gushed out from the deep cut on his back.

He once again opened his mouth as the flying sword turned into a green ball of light before entering inside.

Bai Ming next directed the purple liquid to enter through the wound on his back and began to mix with his spirit realm blood. In a blink, an image of a pair of purple wings appeared on his back, It began to alternate between fading in and out of reality, and ultimately turned into a pair of solid purple beast wings.

Bai Ming got a feel of his beast wings and revealed a satisfied smile. He was immensely pleased with his pair of wings.

These wings belonged to the purple crown, a creature whose speed could rival a peak Yin-Yang void realm expert.

With them, he became a freak, a true monster!

'This feeling of getting stronger is really addictive, hehehe. I should deal with those worms now, I have only been here for a day and trouble has already come. I have to make money quickly, but these worms popped out of nowhere, are these people with that figure who entered the city before me? Hmmm, there's no way to tell. I'll just have to find out myself, but, before that..' Bai Ming retracted his beast wings and took out the tier-4 formation flags and the tier-4 formation base from his bag of holding.

Ever since the Jiang village incident, Bai Ming had become even more careful. Even though he had obtained tier-5 flying speed and was eager to kill off those people who had evil intentions towards him, he forcefully stopped himself from engaging in combat just yet, this was the lesson he had learnt from the last incident. He would rather prepare for battle with everything he had and kill his opponent in a single move if at all possible.

And since these people had still yet to attack him, it showed that they were not capable of insta killing him, hence as long as Bai Ming didn't move out of the city he would be fine. But Bai Ming was not fine with this result, he would rather eliminate the problems in roots than leave them to the unknown future.

Bai Ming enveloped the formation flags with his divine sense and refined them. Marking them with his divine sense and began setting up the self-sword formation on the formation base.

The formation flags when used to set up formations do not need to be replaced regularly like other materials such as spirit stones, beast cores, etc. They also are much more time efficient and display greater effects.

Tier-4 formation flags can be used to set up tier-4 formations (spirit realm) and lower, as for setting up a tier-5 formation using it is not possible.

As for the formation base, this is a true treasure for Bai Ming. With the help of this he could set up formations prior and use it whenever he desired, there was no more need to bitterly set up formations during a battle every single time.

One more thing formation flags were a must if one wanted to use a formation base to set up formations.

"Time to kill." Bai Ming spoke before walking out of his room.
