Chapter 25: The Unswallowable Spiritual Root!

  The voice had just fallen when a poisonous gas approached Wang Fei.

  Wang Fei's face sank, and he immediately controlled the flying sword, pouring a large amount of spiritual energy into it. In an instant, the flying sword whizzed out from under Wang Fei, quickly dodging and narrowly avoiding the poisonous gas attack.

  "Pffft!"

  That poisonous gas did not hit Wang Fei, but fell on a boulder as high as a person in front of him. The boulder immediately made a hissing sound and melted away, disappearing in an instant.

  He glanced at the dissipating fog and the melting stones, Wang Fei felt a chill run down his spine, this corpse poison was indeed formidable.

  Seeing Wang Fei's pale face, Qiu Xianshi knew it was almost over and it was time to give him an ending. He raised one hand and gave the last command to those refining corpses.

  Moreover, he was still uneasy, pinched his fingers together, opened his mouth and sprayed a mouthful of poisonous gas towards Wang Fei.

  Faced with the severe situation in front of him, Wang Fei did not lose his composure, but instead concentrated all his spiritual energy on the ancient flying sword in his right hand.

  It is said that to capture a thief, one must first capture the king. As long as Qiu Xian Shi is killed, the changing magic of Bai Shi Qi will collapse by itself.

  Then, Wang Fei put all his bets on the flying sword in his hand.

  Before this, Wang Fei performed a light step, throwing out the last smoke bomb.

  "Boom!"

  Smoke and dust rose, black fog merged with Qiu Xian Shi's poisonous gas, indistinguishable from one another. Those Jianshi were like headless flies, buzzing around in disarray.

  Wang Fei took this opportunity to retreat suddenly and shoot out his ancient flying sword at Qiu Xian Shi with all his might!

  Whoosh! The flying sword, with a faint tail, charged into the thick fog, cutting through horizontally. Just as Qiu Xian Shi was feeling complacent, suddenly, a bright yellow light flashed before his eyes, and he felt a sweetness in his throat, followed by a mouthful of fresh blood spouting out.

  As his gaze fell, Qiu Xianshi suddenly discovered that a flying sword had pierced through his neck, with fresh blood seeping out.

  "How could it be..." Qiu Xianshi was incredulous. He had been extremely cautious, so how could he still fall victim to such a vicious plot?

  A sharp pain shot through his neck, and Master Qiu's eyes blurred before he lost consciousness. With a thud, his pen fell to the ground.

  After his death, the corpse energy that gushed out from the Hundred Corpses Banner suddenly dissipated. Those refined corpses that drilled out of the ground let out a few squeaks and turned into a wisp of green smoke before disappearing without a trace.

  "Hmm..."

  Wang Fei wiped the big drops of sweat from his forehead and let out a long, murky breath. This time's battle was extremely perilous; if not for the fact that the flying sword had shot forth at a speed invisible to the naked eye in the last moment, he feared he would have been buried under the poisonous fog.

  Looking at Qiuxian Shi who had already lost his vitality, Wang Fei took out several Ling crystals and temporarily restored some of his spiritual power. Then, he urged the flying sword to remove the Ling pearls from his body.

  Wang Fei probed his divine consciousness slightly and found that there were indeed many things inside.

  One thousand Yellow Pulse Third Grade Spirit Crystals, twenty Yellow Pulse Second Grade Spirit Crystals!

  "Hiss, hiss, I really didn't think so, this bandit leader is actually quite formidable, and he even has a second-grade spirit crystal."

  Wang Fei sighed repeatedly.

  Second-grade spirit crystal, although it's only one grade higher than third-grade spirit crystal, the difference is quite significant. The grading of spirit crystals mainly depends on the amount of impurities in the spiritual energy contained within. Second-grade spirit crystals obviously have fewer impurities compared to third-grade ones, making cultivation and absorption smoother.

  Thus, Wang Fei could not help but be delighted.

  Then, Wang Fei glanced around again and found ten black talismans in addition to the Ling crystal. Apart from this, Wang Fei discovered a black fish-scale book in the corner.

  Wang Fei was curious and inserted his divine consciousness, but it greatly exceeded his expectations.

  On the jade tube was written the secret method of the Corpse Refining Sect: Corpse Refining Scripture.

  "Corpse Refining Sect, Corpse Refining Scripture?" Wang Fei's eyebrows tightened, his heart shocked and amazed. Without a doubt, this was a demonic cultivation method, but as for the Corpse Refining Sect, he had never heard of it before.

  However, judging from this situation, the Qiuxian Master who was killed should undoubtedly be a disciple of the Corpse Refining Sect.

  Although he unexpectedly obtained a demonic cultivation method, Wang Fei wasn't particularly happy. After all, he cultivated immortal techniques, and demonic methods were of little use to him.

  The Demon Dao cultivation method is different from the Immortal Dao cultivation method. Cultivating this method will allow for faster progress than cultivating the Immortal Dao method.

  However, with benefits come drawbacks. Although it can play a huge role in a short period of time and quickly improve one's realm, it also has many disadvantages. Due to its unorthodox methods, the cultivator will face more severe heart demons than usual, making it extremely difficult to condense the embryo and ascend to divinity.

  Although it was useless, Wang Fei still took a look, but this look made him astonished and excited.

  In the Necromancer's Handbook, there are actually several very suitable small spells.

  Magic and martial arts are different, as long as you have the power of cultivation, whether it's cultivating immortality or cultivating demons, you can use them.

  Among them, there are "Fei Mo Bu Jue" that can rival the "Instant Shift" of the Condensation Period cultivators, and "Wan Xiang Shu" that can change one's appearance.

  After scanning the Corpse Cudgel Manual, Wang Fei shifted his gaze to the Hundred Corpses Flag that was discarded nearby.

  The hundred corpse banner, having lost its master's stimulation, had returned to its original size and lay quietly on the ground, displaying a greyish white color, but there was no aura of death flowing from it.

  After a moment's hesitation, Wang Fei made a single-handed gesture and put it in his pocket.

  According to the Alchemy Scripture, the Hundred Corpses Flag is an unranked treasure that can grow in power with its master's cultivation. If it contains one or two Golden Elixir condensed corpses, its might will be unmatched.

  Even if Wang Fei thought this thing would harm Tian He, he still held a thread of expectation for its future power.

  Take down the white flag, Wang Fei turned his gaze towards Qiu Xian Shi who was lying on the ground.

  This person has a seven-grade earth spirit root in his body. Although it can't be considered top-notch, for the current Wang Fei, it's not bad either.

  Man does not offend me, I do not offend man. If a man offends me, I will surely kill him. This is Wang Fei's principle of doing things. Since he said such vicious words before, Wang Fei would naturally not show mercy to him.

  Wang Fei would inevitably make his loved ones regret it if he wanted to harm them.

  Then, Wang Fei came before Qiu Xian Shi, squatted down, stretched out his right hand, took a deep breath, and quietly gathered the spiritual energy within his body.

  A scarlet spiritual energy flowed through his body, following the meridians and surging towards the black spiritual root in the middle.

  With a humming sound, the black spiritual root was stimulated by the spiritual power, jumping several times, and extending a black fiber-like object from the palm of Wang Fei's right hand. A black mark immediately appeared on it, and several fiber-like tentacles emerged from it, piercing into Qiu Xian Shi's body.

  Looking at the black tentacles, Wang Fei's heart moved, it seemed that another spiritual root was about to emerge from his body.

  But just at this moment, the Swallowing Spirit Root suddenly moved and immediately retracted.

  Unexpectedly, Wang Fei felt a sense of surprise and doubt. In the past two times, he had successfully devoured his opponents' spiritual roots. Why did he fail this time?

  Staring at the gradually fading black mark, Wang Fei refused to give up and continued to try, but the result was still the same. Thus, Wang Fei became even more perplexed.

  Although he really wanted to obtain the Earth Spirit Root from Qiu Xian's body, it was impossible for him to swallow it at present. Helpless, Wang Fei could only put it into the Hundred Corpses Flag for now and ask the mysterious person about it in a few days.

  After finishing all this, Wang Fei cast his eyes towards a distant village.

  ………

  Woo woo, kneeling down and begging you to collect it!
