The Purgatory Calamity-Chapter 119 - 105 Forcibly Buying Sisters_1

A nameless pill entered Pang Jian’s stomach.

Pang Jian squinted, sensing a layer of "Qi Membrane," formed through the medicinal power within the pill, covering his chest area.

The Qi and Blood scattered from his five viscera and six bowels, as well as surrounding muscles and bones, seemed to be isolated by this "Qi Membrane."

It was then that Pang Jian realized the pill was not meant to suppress his Qi and Blood, but merely to isolate it vigorously for a while.

"Hong Jian, what is the Upper Realm like?" Bai Wei quietly approached.

She looked at Pang Jian with curiosity, feeling that this cold and icy youth, though not handsome, possessed a unique wild charm, and so she asked, "Do people from the Upper Realm all have outstanding talents like you?"

Bai Zhi, her slender sister, was also quietly observing Pang Jian, her eyes sparkling with a bright sheen.

These sisters were pretty, both with features like painted portraits and graceful figures in their own right.

If it weren’t for their affiliation with Meng Qiulan as disciples, with their beauty and figure, they would be at great risk anywhere in the dangerous zones of the Fourth Realm.

Pang Jian thought for a moment and said, "Most people born in the Upper Realm don’t even qualify to join forces like Blood Moon, Star River Alliance, or Raging Sun Sect. The nature’s spiritual energy in the Upper Realm is mostly free of impurities, and for powers like Blood Moon and Star River Alliance, the sect’s spiritual energy is not only pure but also exceptionally rich and concentrated."

"Compared to below, cultivation there is easier, and common people can live longer."

He had acquired this knowledge through casual conversations with Luo Hongyan and now simply used it.

Bai Wei’s face was filled with longing, "It seems that the Upper Realm is indeed better."

As she spoke, she suddenly giggled with pursed lips and boldly said, "Hong Jian, if we sisters don’t reach the Meridians Channeling Realm within half a year, how about we ask Master to give us to you?"

Bai Zhi, standing aside, glared at her and exclaimed discontentedly, "Sister!"

In matters of love, Bai Wei was bolder, but when it came to danger, she was the most frightened and timid.

Conversely,

Her sister wouldn’t even dare to discuss such matters, but in times of peril, she would remain much calmer.

"I’m not confident..." Bai Wei sighed bitterly.

Looking at Meng Qiulan observing the outside through a crack in the window, she whispered, "If we truly end up being given away, it would be better to choose someone we find agreeable, so at least there would be no disgust when serving him..."

Bai Zhi was stunned, thinking, "He is so young; even if Master really decides to give us away, it would be to a major figure."

Bai Wei, knowing what her sister was thinking, softly said, "We’re both over twenty and haven’t even reached the second level of the Meridians Channeling Realm, which means our talents are insufficient. Hong Jian, at just fifteen or sixteen, has successfully completed the Marrow Cleaning. As long as he doesn’t die, he will quickly make a name for himself in Dark Ghost."

Having heard this, Bai Zhi seriously considered it and found it reasonable.

When she looked at Pang Jian again, her thoughts changed, considering that if he were the one, it wouldn’t be unacceptable.

"Bai Wei, your little head does think fast."

Meng Qiulan, paying attention to the outside, turned to glance at the sisters. Her somber gaze fell on Pang Jian and said, "With your talent, joining Dark Ghost is honestly beneath you. The most critical step in the Marrow Cleaning Realm is marrow cleansing, and once you succeed in tempering your bones, the rest will become much easier."

She stroked her chin, pondering for a moment, and continued, "Within two years, if you can cultivate to the point of refining fresh blood, and you’re still with Dark Ghost, your status will definitely surpass mine..."

"By then, giving you my good-for-nothing disciples wouldn’t be a problem."

Hearing this, Bai Wei’s eyes lit up.

Bai Zhi, however, quietly lowered her head.

Pang Jian, looking curiously at the sisters, said, "I lack pills or beast blood that enhance Qi and Blood."

"Not only you lack them, but every cultivator in the Marrow Cleaning Realm does," Meng Qiulan huffed. "In the early stages of the Marrow Cleaning Realm, besides needing a marrow cleansing material to complete the marrow’s tempering, one also needs to expand the meridians. Afterwards, the five viscera and six bowels, flesh, and blood all rely on the rich life force of beast blood and meat."

Speaking of which, Meng Qiulan sighed lightly and added, "Third-level Ferocious Beast’s blood and flesh are materials in high demand for anyone in the Marrow Cleaning Realm, and such items are always priceless in our Fourth Realm."

"It’s only the seven major families, and Dark Ghost like us, who can get hold of some. As for individual cultivators? Hmph, even with spirit stones, there’s nowhere to buy them!"

Pang Jian remained silent.

On his last return to this base, he had purchased some beast blood from Ling Qing, not just for himself, but Luo Hongyan also depended on it for building her flesh and bones.

However, most of the beast blood he had bought was from first and second-level ferocious beasts, the life essence within them being limited.

Ling Qing had also been upfront with him that the level of Ferocious Beasts in Thousand Miles of Cloud Land was mostly at the first and second level.

Third-level Ferocious Beasts were rarely seen in Thousand Miles of Cloud Land, and individual cultivators hardly dared to hunt them.

Only the hall masters of Dark Ghost could use the sect’s means to procure blood from third-level or higher beasts.

"Eh! That’s a Blood Moon Beast-Catching Ship!"

Meng Qiulan, refocusing her attention outside, suddenly exclaimed, "Each Beast-Catching Ship should have a large quantity of beast blood and meat."

Pang Jian’s thoughts stirred.

From what Luo Hongyan had told him, in sects like Star River, Red Mountain, and Raging Sun Sect, disciples who succeed in marrow cleansing mainly use Qi-enhancing pills combined with spiritual power to gradually temper their internal organs and flesh.

Blood Moon, however, fuses beast and Spirit Beast blood into a Blood Pool for their Marrow Cleaning Realm disciples to cultivate.

Much like the "Unstable Ferry," some of Blood Moon’s ships were specifically for traveling to regions infested by ferocious beasts to hunt and collect their flesh and blood.

Part of the beast blood and flesh harvested by Blood Moon was used for their own members’ cultivation, and some were also sold externally.

Hearing that a Blood Moon Beast-Catching Ship was passing by, Pang Jian grew secretly excited.

Just at that moment, he felt a fluctuation emanating fiercely from above the base, enveloping everyone inside.

He immediately knew that the fluctuation must have come from the "Branded Eye," searching throughout the base for those with strong bodies who had cultivated to the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

"Everyone, come out!"

A lofty voice suddenly rang out.

Meng Qiulan, who was crouched inside the house, changed complexion, turned to glance at Bai Wei and Bai Zhi, and sighed, "I hope we can get through this safely."

She had not expected that this Blood Moon would behave so uncharacteristically, demanding everyone to step out of their wooden huts.

"Hong Jian, under the Branded Eye, no one can hide. It knows exactly how many people are hiding in each wooden hut, but it still doesn’t know we are in the Marrow Cleansing Realm; you just be careful."

With that, Meng Qiulan pushed the door open and led Bai Wei and Bai Zhi out first.

"Ling Qing!"

Bai Wei, the moment she stepped outside, covered her mouth and exclaimed in fear, her eyes showing terror.

Pang Jian, trailing behind, stepped out of the hut and the first thing he saw was a man dressed in Blood Moon attire, forcing Ling Qing to kneel on the ground by pressing on his neck.

The skinny and short Ling Qing, who was at the later stages of the Meridians Channeling Realm, was in charge of the base.

At this moment, he was kneeling on the ground, facing toward Pang Jian, Meng Qiulan, and the others, but his head was constantly lowered.

"You set up wooden huts here and created a place for Individual Cultivators to gather, and you claim to know nothing?"

Fei Zheng, with a white face and long beard, scoffed coldly, "I don’t believe that no one has escaped from the several Fragment Lands under the Ouyang Family’s jurisdiction, that there are no escaped Individual Cultivators living here!"

Ling Qing muttered with his head bowed, "Truly, there’s none!"

Fei Zheng, pressing on his neck, snorted, "If you know nothing, then what’s the point of having this base? Also, I’ve heard there was a person named Hong Tai who frequented Thousand Miles of Cloud Land and even tamed a Black and White King Python, is that true?"

Ling Qing kept his head down, "There was such a person, but he has not appeared for a long time. He probably came to Thousand Miles of Cloud Land to capture the Black and White King Python."

"Speaking of which, Hong Tai and I are old acquaintances."

With a strange laugh, Fei Zheng patted Ling Qing’s back, only to hear Ling Qing scream with gnashing teeth, his bones breaking who knows how many.

Suddenly, Fei Zheng noticed Bai Wei and Bai Zhi, who had followed Meng Qiulan out.

His eyes shone with a strange light as he pointed at Bai Wei and Bai Zhi, "You two come here, I have a great opportunity for you, I can take you to live in the Upper Realm."

Bai Wei, who had just been longing to see the Upper Realm, instead felt fear upon hearing these words.

Both women looked at Meng Qiulan.

Meng Qiulan’s hand on the crutch trembled slightly as she whispered, "Go on."

The "Unstable Ferry" hovered above Fei Zheng’s head, with only him having descended for now, and no one knew how many more from the Blood Moon were inside the beast-catching "Unstable Ferry."

"Oh, you must be their elder, right?"

Fei Zheng seemed to notice Meng Qiulan just then, and he casually smiled, "We of the Blood Moon aren’t unreasonable. Here, these are ten Spirit Stones, consider it payment for buying the two of them. I have an elder who likes fresh and beautiful sisters. This is their blessing; you need not worry about them."

"No worries, no worries,"

Meng Qiulan said with a strained voice.

Pang Jian, standing behind, noticed that Meng Qiulan’s entire back was shaking, unsure if it was from anger ready to explode or from the fear of the Blood Moon.

"Hmm, you’re sensible,"

Fei Zheng said with a light smile, and when the pale-faced Bai Wei and Bai Zhi came to him, he took one by the hand and said, "I’ll first take you to Sky Fortune City, and after meeting people from the Shangguan Family, I’ll take you to the Upper Realm to have a good life."

As members of the Dark Ghosts, the two sisters clearly knew what the Blood Moon signified and didn’t dare to speak.

They just looked at Meng Qiulan, eyes full of hope.

Bent over, Meng Qiulan trembled slightly and powerlessly lowered her head in response to their pleading eyes.

—Meng Qiulan dared not meet their gaze.

The sisters instantly despaired, no longer hoping for anyone’s help, and resignedly bowed their heads.

"Pay attention, off we go!"

Fei Zheng suddenly exerted force.

Grabbing one sister in each hand, he swiftly headed towards the stationary "Unstable Ferry," quickly arriving on the deck.

Pang Jian looked up, seeing above that vast "Unstable Ferry," the familiar blood-red crescent emblem amidst the fluttering black banners.

It was then that he deeply felt the deterrent power that Cultivators from the Upper Realm had over the lower-world.

—It was as though disciples from the Demon Sect, Sword Tower, and Black Valley stood on a high platform.

In this base where Individual Cultivators gathered, as long as the "Unstable Ferry" was docked, the people of the Blood Moon could do as they pleased.

Everyone could only silently endure everything, feeling rage but not daring to express it.

Even Meng Qiulan, the Dark Ghost Hall Master, could only accept everything, silently enduring in humiliation.

Finally.

Under the gazes of fear and unease, the "Unstable Ferry" slowly set off, flying towards Sky Fortune City, controlled by the Shangguan Family.
