Chapter 42: Taking Stock of the Loot

  His mood had calmed down a bit, and Yuan Tian got up and came to the outside of the cave. The iron pines and wooden planks were scattered at the entrance and hadn't been collected yet, fortunately they hadn't been hit by the fire talismans. There was one more thing that needed to be collected, which was the other party's Qiankun bag.

  Three people just happened to have three Qiankun bags, and fortunately, the Qiankun bags were sturdy enough that they didn't get blown up. Since you can't put a Qiankun bag inside another one, they had no choice but to tie them around their waists first. Two swords and one knife were all picked up and thrown into their own Qiankun bags.

  It's too much trouble to move the ironwood one by one, fortunately there is an old cow, its wide back is really a bargain. Going back to make a cargo rack can hold more things.

  Entering the cave, he first blocked the entrance. Yuantian took off the three Qiankun bags and began to check the items inside. The Qiankun bags were not like spiritual beasts and did not require an exchange of master-slave contract to control them.

  The spiritual beast, without the exchange of a master-servant contract, even if its previous owner was killed, must first be subdued, otherwise it will not listen. The Qiankun bag, as long as it is seized, breaks the opponent's prohibition, and everything inside can be obtained.

  That bald middle-aged man had the highest cultivation, and he first opened his Qiankun bag to take a look. With just a hint of sword energy leaking out, the seal was broken. A driving object spell was cast in, and a pile of things appeared on the ground.

  Wow! This middle-aged cultivator is really wealthy, how many people has he robbed? There are over a dozen different types of spellbooks, and Yuan Tian flipped through them, finding the one that concerned him the most.

  This is an iron scroll, different from the ordinary jade slips. Jade slips are consumable items that disappear once used. Iron scrolls store kung fu information inside and can be reused multiple times. The production difficulty is relatively high, so the price is naturally higher.

  It's really a scam, wanting to learn the skills inside, but having to shed one's own blood. Won't they suck me dry? Yuan Tianchen didn't want to bleed himself. But without shedding some blood, he couldn't learn what he wanted.

  A man must be tough on himself, toughen his heart and prick his fingertips with a needle, dripping a drop of blood onto the iron scroll. Sure enough, a bright thing drilled into his brain, and he immediately knew the relevant kung fu information.

  "Divine Ghost Transformation" is a sharp name, and it's actually a set of body techniques. What appears in Yuantian's mind now is only the Qi-refining part of the technique, with more information hidden behind that can't be displayed for now.

  No wonder the middle-aged cultivator didn't sell this iron scroll, he must have wanted to keep it to study the things behind. Due to a twist of fate, it ended up in Yuantian's hands, and the original thief who killed people for treasure is now dead and gone, and the thing has become someone else's.

  The other law books are nothing special, just a manual of hidden weapons and hand techniques that's somewhat interesting. It's a handwritten copy, surprisingly it's a secular martial arts secret book. This thing is somewhat interesting, I'll keep it for now, the others can be sold to Mr. Dongguo's bookstore.

  The manual was put away in the Qiankun bag, and Yuan Tian began to fiddle with those jars. Let's see if there are any good elixirs, which have been lacking recently.

  This small blue and white porcelain bottle, isn't this the one that holds Pei Yuan Dan? This is the most familiar one, hurry up and open it to take a look. It's not very rich, there are only three Pei Yuan Dans lying inside.

  The small white bottle of Qi-tonifying Pellet can be ignored, and it was directly thrown back into the Qiankun Bag. This small yellow bottle has never been seen before, and it needs to be opened to take a look. The light yellow dan medicine is only the size of a soybean. If you don't look carefully, you might think it's filled with soybeans. It smells like a herbal fragrance, which should be good stuff.

  At the bottom of the bottle were printed two red characters "Qí Huáng", it turned out to be Qí Huáng Dan. A kind of dan medicine that is more effective in treating injuries than Jin Yuán medicine, Yuan Tian had only heard of it before, this was his first time seeing it.

  What's with this black bottle, it's so short and the mouth is quite big. Open it up and take a sniff, ugh! A strong stench hits my nose, what kind of thing is this? It's about the size of a pigeon egg, dark red in color. Just like blood that's been left out for too long and dried up. The surface of the dan medicine has some holes, it looks especially disgusting. There's only one pellet in the whole bottle, looks like it's quite precious.

  What is this thing? There's nothing written on the bottom of the bottle. Having stayed in the sect for more than three years, I've heard a lot about many things. This kind of elixir has its own characteristics, and it should be known by reason. Yuan Tian carefully recalled, and a name flashed through his mind.

  Frenzied Demon Pill is a medicinal pill that instantly increases one's cultivation. A cultivator at the 9th layer of Qi Refining, after taking this pill, can temporarily rival a cultivator in the Gathering Spirit stage. However, after the effects wear off, the body will be extremely weakened and require a month to recover. If the cultivator's body is already somewhat weak, taking this pill may cause damage to their meridians.

  That middle-aged cultivator actually had such a thing, fortunately he didn't take it earlier. If he took it, even the eighty-first layer of defense cover wouldn't be able to withstand for too long.

  This is too scary, this thing is too scary. It must be well preserved and quickly packed away. This thing is both bloody and smelly, but it can save lives at critical moments. That middle-aged cultivator was too confident in his calculations. If he had taken the Insane Devil Pill earlier, it would have been hard to say who would win or lose.

  There isn't even a flying tool, no wonder, he originally had a second-level spiritual beast. After rummaging through the things on the ground again, half a bag of spiritual beast feed was found.

  "Moooo..." The blue-eyed unicorn's eyes shone brighter with green light as it saw the spiritual beast feed.

  "Take it away." Through the master-slave contract, Yuan Tian already knew how much Lao Niu wanted to eat this thing, so he casually threw it at him.

  It seems that the middle-aged cultivator was quite good to the old cow before, and even bought spiritual beast feed for it. However, looking at the greedy appearance of the old cow, it should not have been able to eat for some time. I guess the middle-aged cultivator saw that its treatment was hopeless, so he didn't bother feeding it anymore.

  The blue-eyed unicorn is very loyal to its master, only recognizing those who have a contract with it. Today, it helped Yuan Tiandou deal with its former master, and that was not ambiguous at all.

  Wow! This old cow ate the spiritual beast feed and somehow looks radiant. Even its withered body has become plumper by a few degrees.

  "Let's eat", Yuantianyi happily took out one of the two bags of spiritual beast feed he had just bought from the Spiritual Beast Store today and threw it to the Blue-eyed Unicorn.

  The old cow is overjoyed, this new owner is too generous. It used to only eat hay and occasionally some spiritual beast feed. This new owner actually gives whole bags of it.

  In the Qiankun bag of a middle-aged cultivator, apart from three medium-grade defensive talismans, there was nothing else. Yuantian picked up the other two Qiankun bags, removed the seals, and poured everything onto the ground.

  Two people didn't even save a single copy of the law book, can't be that poor. Fortunately, there's Peiyuan Dan, not in vain. Two bottles together, and they managed to get five more Peiyuan Dans, enough to eat for a while.

  That middle-aged cultivator should have been temporarily partnered with the two of them, because the two people's Qiankun bags had several hundred low-grade spirit stones and five medium-grade spirit stones. But in that middle-aged person's Qiankun bag, there wasn't a single spirit stone. Even the sixty low-grade spirit stones from selling the cow were nowhere to be found.

  "He wouldn't be trying to kill me for the Ling Stone, would he? Probably not, a sixth-level cultivator like him shouldn't have anything good. Someone must have promised him an even greater benefit, that's why he's taking such a risk." Yuan Tian thought to himself.
