31 - Demonic Fate Sect!

“A genius with Violet Talent was born in the Demonic Fate Sect, this is what caused the Luhuo Mountain Competition to be advanced” said the Sect Leader seriously.

Demonic Fate Sect!

Other than Xiao Long, the four Core Disciples were shocked when they heard the sect name mentioned. They did not expect a genius to be born in such a sect. Xiao Long could only look at their shocked expressions, it seemed like this sect had something interesting.

“Huo Yan, what is it about this Demonic Fate Sect?” Xiao Long whispered to Huo Yan.

“You don't know the Demonic Fate Sect? Are you not from the Eastern Continent? Not only in the Eastern Continent, the Demonic Fate Sect is even famous in other Continents” Huo Yan was quite curious as Xiao Long did not know a sect as famous as the Demonic Fate Sect.

Xiao Long only shook his head in response to Huo Yan's question. Huo Yan sighed and began to explain what he knew about the Demonic Fate Sect.

The Demonic Fate Sect was one of the many 'Black Sects' in the Four Continents. It had a reputation as a Black Sect with a legacy of hundreds of years and had highly talented disciples. Like most other black sects, the Demonic Fate Sect had a legacy of black techniques with terrifying power.

Generally, black techniques allowed the person who cultivated them to have terrifying powers but there were various side effects. Even so, this Demonic Fate Sect was one of the successful black sects as it could stand at the peak of the Eastern Continent, and could even compete with the great sects on the other three Continents. Often the Demonic Fate Sect represented the Eastern Continent in some inter-Continent competitions, which was what made it famous.

“A black sect huh? Interesting...” Xiao Long smiled at the brief explanation of the Demonic Fate Sect. In some of the novels he had read, this kind of sect usually had unique techniques with terrifying power. Xiao Long was looking forward to meeting the genius of the Demonic Fate Sect, but before that he had to prepare himself first.

“That's all I can say about the Luhuo Mountain Competition. To solve this problem, I will give you guys additional resources for these two months. Alright, you can go” said the Sect Leader.

One by one, the Core Disciples bowed to the Sect Leader before leaving the room. Xiao Long chose to leave last because he had something to discuss with the Sect Leader about the Luhuo Mountain Competition being moved forward.

Once everyone had left, Xiao Long turned to the Sect Leader and said, “Can an Earth Foundation like me still enter the Luhuo Mountain Competition, Sect Leader?”

“That's exactly what I was thinking when I got this news, Xiao Long. I originally chose you because I believed you could break through to Spirit Initiate or even Spirit Manifestation within a year. But now, the competition is advanced and my plans are ruined. Damn, why else would a genius be born in a black sect” The Sect Leader sighed.

“Even so I still insist on entering the Luhuo Mountain Competition, the Spiritual Flame is very important to me. Of course I'm not just saying nonsense. If you give me a poison that has an effect on someone in the Spirit Manifestation Realm, I promise to win the competition” Xiao Long said confidently.

“A poison that affects a person in the Spirit Manifestation Realm? There are some in my hand, but how are you going to use them? If you just throw them randomly it won't be effective” said the Sect Leader.

“Do you know the Secret Weapon Technique?” Xiao Long asked.

“Hmm? Secret Weapon Technique?” The Sect Leader was confused as he heard a name he had never heard before. Xiao Long smiled and began to explain.

The Secret Weapon Technique is a technique commonly used by an assassin. By throwing small objects such as needles, knives, or beads, one can make a surprise attack with high speed that makes the opponent unable to dodge.

Of course, to achieve the speed that can make the opponent unable to dodge, one must have a powerful and stealthy throw. Xiao Long has a technique that allows him to have a strong and concealed throw. With this technique, the Secret Weapon's speed would be equal to or even faster than a Spirit Manifestation.

“How is it, Sect Leader?” asked Xiao Long, while watching the Sect Leader's stunned face.

“From that brief explanation, I already know this Secret Weapon Technique is extremely terrifying. I've never met an assassin, but I've read books about how terrifying they are. Even without using the technique you said Assassins use” said the Sect Leader, he was still quite shocked at the thought of an Assassin using the Secret Weapon Technique.

“In that case, I will give you some suitable poisons. But in two months' time, there will be many people challenging you to take your place in the Luhuo Mountain Competition” said the Sect Leader.

“Take it easy, as long as I break through to the Core Formation Realm and cultivate the Attack Technique, I have the confidence to maintain my position” Xiao Long said confidently.

“If you are that confident, then take this. It contains three types of poison that have effects on a Spirit Manifestation if used properly. In addition, I am giving you some resources that will help you break through to the Core Formation Realm” said the Sect Leader as he handed Xiao Long the Space Ring.

“This is... It's just what I expected! Thank you, Sect Leader. I won't let you down for investing in me.” Xiao Long smiled at the contents of the Space Ring that the Sect Leader gave him.

“I believe in you, Xiao Long” said the Sect Leader.

Xiao Long nodded. He didn't know why the Sect Leader trusted him who was only an Earth Foundation. Perhaps it was because he had a talent that surpassed Violet Talent? Whatever it was, his judgment was indeed very correct. Xiao Long would not let the Spiritual Flame escape, hence he had to enter the competition and win it.

After that, Xiao Long went to the city to purchase the equipment he needed. The life of a Core Disciple was freer than Outer Disciples and Inner Disciples, so Xiao Long could go anywhere without permission from the sect.

Xiao Long wandered around Golden Flame City, looking for the shop he was looking for. After an hour of wandering around, he stopped in front of a weapons and other equipment shop.

He immediately entered the store and went to a block filled with small items. There were weapons or small items such as throwing knives, beads, and needles. But unfortunately, their quality was very low and could not be infused with the poison that the Sect Leader had previously gave.

“Sir, can I help you?” asked a shop assistant politely.

“I'm actually looking for small objects like this, are there any higher grade?” asked Xiao Long while pointing at a block of small objects.

“Ah, sorry, that is the highest tier we have at the moment. If you want it, you can wait for a week or you can just go to the Blacksmith directly. But if you go to the Blacksmith, you will have to bring materials and also pay a Blacksmith a fairly high price. So I suggest waiting for our stock to be replenished” The shop assistant said with a smile.

“I don't mind the money, I just want quality goods. Thank you in advance.” Xiao Long left the shop under the shop assistant’s annoyed gaze.

Xiao Long went back around Golden Flame City to look for Blacksmith shops or other weapon shops. He found a few other weapon shops as well as Blacksmith shops, but the weapon shops did not have high-quality and Blacksmiths took a long time to make something as small as a needle because they had to be detailed in forging it.

“What a pain! If only I had Spiritual Flame, my life would be easier and smoother. I could make high-level pills and forge quality weapons, unfortunately Spiritual Flame is not an item that can be bought on the market” Xiao Long sighed.

When he wanted to return to the sect, he remembered one place that should have been the first place he went to.

That was the North Treasure Merchant! The North Treasure Merchant in the Golden Flame City!
