Villainous Cao Cao: Inheriting Everything from the Chosen One

211: Please, young lady, help me with my spiritual practice.A few hours later.

Cao Bu stood outside the main gates of the Jiye Chamber of Commerce.

He looked up at the magnificent building before him, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes.

This Eternal Night City seems to be considered a major city in the Demon State.

As soon as Cao Bu walked into the chamber of commerce, he immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

However, after those people sized him up for a few moments, they all withdrew their gazes.

Although the Demon State is dominated by demonic cultivators, other Cultivators occasionally appear.

It’s just that here, the Law of the jungle is strictly followed.

As long as one has strength, they can do as they please.

”What does the Young Master need?”

A woman dressed in a green-patterned maid’s uniform stepped forward quickly, her gaze scrutinizing.

”yin yang jade, the more the better.”

Cao Bu’s voice wasn’t loud, but it clearly spread throughout the entire hall.

As his words fell, the original chatter vanished.

Dozens of gazes focused on him once more, many filled with surprise and wariness.

Now that news of ruins appearing in the yin yang jade mine has spread, if Cao Bu has connections to the Yin Yang Sect, they would have to be careful.

If the Yin-Yang Heavenly Emperor were to come out of the Myriad Laws Forbidden Abyss in the future to settle scores with them, the consequences would be unimaginable.

To be safe, many people had already developed murderous intent toward Cao Bu.

Better to kill by mistake than to let them escape.

Cao Bu didn’t care about this at all.

Fang Ruodan was inside the ten thousand fragrances paying homage to the phoenix diagram; now, in the entire Spirit Realm, he feared no one.

Even if several Heavenly Emperors joined forces, he wouldn’t take them seriously.

The maid frowned slightly and asked hesitantly, ”I wonder exactly how much the Young Master needs?”

Clearly, her words implied she didn’t quite believe Cao Bu had sufficient financial resources.

Cao Bu wasn’t angry either. He smiled slightly and took out a storage ring. ”I want to see your person in charge.”

After the maid used her Divine Sense to investigate the storage ring, she covered her mouth in surprise.

There were actually a billion spirit crystals inside!

This was a super VIP customer!

She didn’t dare to be slow and quickly stepped aside to lead the way. ”Young Master, please follow me.”

Cao Bu nodded and followed the maid upstairs.

Seeing this, the demonic cultivators in the hall exchanged glances, murderous intent flashing in their eyes.

The Jiye Chamber of Commerce was no ordinary chamber of commerce; those who could work here were not ordinary people.

Yet even this maid was so shocked after seeing the storage ring, which meant the wealth inside was absolutely staggering.

Several demonic cultivators had already made up their minds to kill him and seize his goods.

Inside an elegant room on the fifth floor.

The maid spoke respectfully, ”Young Master, please wait a moment. I will go and invite the manager to come over.”

Cao Bu nodded and looked around the room.

The layout was very simple: a bed, a round table, and a few chairs.

He sat down to the side and waited quietly.

Not long after, footsteps were heard outside the door.

Cao Bu looked up.

He saw a woman walking in slowly.

She had a tall and graceful figure, wearing a black dress with dark patterns, her jet-black hair contrasting with her snow-white skin.

There was a touch of coldness in her eyes, and her whole body emitted a faint chill, like a spirit emerging from the dark night.

The moment she saw Cao Bu, a look of obvious surprise appeared in her eyes.

”You may leave first,” the woman instructed the maid behind her.

The maid bowed and turned to leave.

Cao Bu sized up the woman before him, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

This woman’s appearance was very much to his liking.

”I didn’t expect Clan Chief Cao to come to our Demon State. Could it be you don’t know that the Yin-Yang Heavenly Emperor has a grudge against the Gu Clan?”

The woman sat down opposite Cao Bu and observed him closely.

She was very curious.

How did Cao Bu’s Dantian recover?

Why did his cultivation level rise so quickly after recovering?

There were many different opinions about this in the outside world, but she was more inclined to believe that Cao Bu had been hiding his cultivation level rather than actually having a shattered Dantian.

Cao Bu was not surprised that the woman recognized him.

From the first moment their eyes met, he knew she had recognized him.

Besides, the Jiye Chamber of Commerce is an industry of the Dark Heavenly Emperor; it’s normal for someone to recognize him.

”So what if there’s a grudge? If the Yin-Yang Heavenly Emperor wants to kill This Clan Head, he’ll have to be able to come out first.”

He tapped the tabletop with his finger. ”Or is it that the Dark Imperial Court wants to collude with him and keep me here?”

The woman gave a charming smile. ”Clan Chief Cao must be joking. How would the Dark Imperial Court dare to associate with the Yin-Yang Heavenly Emperor?”

”Oh?” Cao Bu looked at her with a half-smile. ”A few months ago, the Sin Emperor and the Underworld Emperor caused trouble in my Gu Clan. Was that unrelated to you? If I remember correctly, the Sin Emperor is one of your Dark Imperial Court’s people.”

A cold light flashed in the woman’s eyes. ”The Sin Emperor is indeed one of our Dark Imperial Court’s people, but his actions were merely personal and have nothing to do with our Dark Imperial Court.”

Although it’s unlikely the current Gu Clan would use the means left behind by Gu Qingtian to destroy the Dark Imperial Court, one must be careful in all things.

Now is not the time to offend the Gu Clan.

Cao Bu smiled slightly and didn’t dwell on this issue.

Anyway, the Gu Clan will be destroyed sooner or later, just not yet.

”Let’s get down to business.” Cao Bu tapped the table. ”How many pieces of yin yang jade does your Jiye Chamber of Commerce—no, your Dark Imperial Court—have? I want them all.”

The woman said coldly, ”Our chamber of commerce currently has two thousand pieces of yin yang jade.”

”If Clan Chief Cao is not in a hurry, I can use the power of the Dark Imperial Court to help you gather them, but it likely won’t exceed a hundred thousand.”

”After all, there isn’t much yin yang jade to begin with, and most of it is held by demonic cultivators who Cultivate the Yin-Yang Law. It’s almost impossible to collect yin yang jade from them.”

”A hundred thousand?” Cao Bu frowned. ”So few?”

The fifty thousand pieces of yin yang jade last time only allowed him to advance from the sixth level of the Realm Sovereign to the Realm Emperor Peak.

And that was only because he was already close to a Breakthrough.

In reality, he only broke through two minor Realms.

Now that he is already a World Venerable, these hundred thousand pieces of yin yang jade will likely only be enough for him to break through one minor Realm.

Could it be that this trip was for nothing?

”Clan Chief Cao, a hundred thousand is already the maximum amount my Dark Imperial Court can gather; it’s not a small amount,” the woman added.

Cao Bu stared at her and suddenly asked, ”Since you can mobilize the power of the Dark Imperial Court, your status must be quite high. May I know your name, miss?”

The woman nodded. ”You Ye.”

”You Ye? Shen Youye, the eldest granddaughter of the Dark Heavenly Emperor?”

Cao Bu didn’t use the System’s investigation function, but he had heard of this name.

She was the most outstanding junior of the Dark Heavenly Emperor, possessing exceptional talent.

Shen Youye nodded with a light smile. ”I didn’t expect Clan Chief Cao to know me. It’s truly an honor.”

Cao Bu looked at her and suddenly realized that her cultivation had already reached the World Venerable Peak!

Furthermore, she was a woman who still possessed a pure body.

In an instant, he had another idea.

Since the yin yang jade wasn’t enough for him to break through several Realms in a row, wouldn’t the person in front of him allow him to break through immediately?

As for how much he could break through, he would know once he tried.

”Miss You Ye, you demonic cultivators have always emphasized that strength is respected. With strength, one can do as they please, right?”

Cao Bu’s gaze swept over her graceful body.

Shen Youye frowned, her whole body tensing up.

How could she not understand Cao Bu’s gaze at this moment?

But she still feigned ignorance and asked, ”Clan Chief Cao, what do you mean by this?”

”What do I mean?” Cao Bu grabbed her wrist, his tone domineering. ”Please help me Cultivate, miss.”
