Chapter 27: Transformation of Pressure (Part 1)

  "Good stuff!" Lin Qiulü would praise every time she picked up a well-sorted magic treasure. Yuan Qing Lao Dao indeed lived up to his notorious reputation, it was unknown how many cultivators he had eliminated in order to collect so many different kinds of magic treasures. Some were obviously unused and purely useless, it was unknown why the old daoist collected so many things that he didn't use himself.

  A person's energy is limited, even for cultivators. Everyone spends some time cultivating their sleeve universe, most of the time tempering their main magic treasure, and the remaining time is used to improve their cultivation and mental state. Occasionally, they can spare a little time to take care of several not-so-important magic treasures. Calculating this way, it's already an extraordinary thing for a cultivator to be able to use four or five magic treasures at the same time.

  Yu Qing's old Dao mouth sword, hand-held duster, and some other talismans, seemed to be fancy and varied, but in the end, he was also defeated because of this reason. Otherwise, with his full-strength mouth sword being easily controlled by the dark corpse, it can be seen that his control over the mouth sword is basically mediocre.

  Qin Yifan had once heard of a person taking out countless magical treasures and recklessly attacking the enemy, but it was fundamentally impossible. Rumors can be harmful, and Qin Yifan had been misrecognizing things all along; fortunately, he said so in front of Lin Qiulü, otherwise, if he had said so in front of those high-ranking people, wouldn't he have become a laughing stock and lost face forever?

  The principle is actually simple. Those who are said to be proficient in all eighteen martial arts, basically, are also those who are mediocre in all eighteen martial arts. There are many such people in the Jianghu. Qin Yifan was able to win the championship in the military because he focused his mind. Apart from eating and sleeping, there were only knife skills and rapid internal strength training, nothing else, which is why he achieved this.

  It turns out that the truth can be applied anywhere. Speaking of which, isn't the worldly experience of a cultivator based on this idea? But good things are never too many, just like having an extra divine sword that suits oneself perfectly, even if it's not needed for now, it doesn't seem like a bad thing, as long as one is human, most people would think this way.

  However, Lin Qiulü still told Qin Yifan the uses of these good things. Each magic treasure can be upgraded by constantly tempering and fusing higher-grade materials, and the entire upgrading process is described in the simplest terms as tempering, purifying, fusing, tempering, and purifying. Those impurities that are purified are excluded bit by bit.

  Through this process, the grade of the magic treasure is also continuously improved. It's very likely that when the magic treasure is upgraded to a very high grade, the original material as the mother body has been refined and replaced with higher-grade materials in this process.

  Although these treasures have different styles, as long as they are applied properly, the excellent materials among them can be integrated into their own flying swords and slowly tempered. However, letting countless such Jianghu martial artists covet but cannot use divine weapons, rare treasures, and strange precious treasures just as materials makes Qin Yifan feel a bit wasteful.

  However, Qin Yifan can't use it for the time being, and Lin Qiulü doesn't want too many, so she only picked a few that suit herself and left them as materials to upgrade her flying sword in the next stage. This way, she saved herself the trouble of finding good materials.

  Although Lin Qiulü is also known for being knowledgeable, the Longfeng Guard has detailed records of various cultivators and famous magical artifacts, but most of them here cannot be accurately identified, only roughly distinguished by their aura and function. Only when it comes to flying swords can Lin Qiulü make a more careful judgment.

  What's most eye-catching is a string of black Buddhist beads, for some reason, the Buddhist beads that should have been emitting a purple aura are instead giving off a gloomy atmosphere. Moreover, each bead has been carved into a skull shape, which gives people a chill at first glance.

  Yin Shi proactively offered to give it to him, and Qin Yifan didn't hesitate at all, directly handing it over. Lin Qiulü was still curious, asking a few more questions about its origins. Yin Shi didn't hide anything either; although the thing's origins couldn't be clearly explained, her instincts had already told her that this was something good, but since Qin Yifan hadn't said anything, she hadn't made a move.

  It was unclear when it started, but the corpse suddenly became obedient to Qin Yifan's words, more clever than a loyal servant. It seemed that no one had noticed this situation, and no one had picked it up, as if it were a matter of course.

  The breath hidden in the Buddhist beads, although not such a gloomy and evil spirit, but the yin corpse can feel that there are countless resentful spirits sealed inside. The yin corpse took the Buddhist beads and, in front of Qin Yifan and Lin Qiulü, strangely absorbed the entire string of Buddhist beads into its body.

  Originally, cultivators could not store magical treasures in their bodies because the treasures would affect the body. However, a yin corpse is different; it itself is a magical treasure that has been refined through sacrifice, only now it can control itself. The bodily functions have long since completely died out, and taking it into the body is merely the fusion of the magical treasure and new materials.

  What the vengeful corpse needs to do is absorb the sealed evil energy, release those countless wronged souls, and absorb their resentment, allowing their spirits to be reborn as soon as possible. For the vengeful corpse, this is an effective way to increase its cultivation, and at the same time, it will make the vengeful corpse's merit boundless.

  Qin Yifan is now really having a hard time turning things around. Even the ghosts know to accumulate good deeds, isn't this world too crazy?

  There are also some Taoist practitioners who can use them. Yuan Qing Lao Dao has collected a lot of spiritual pills and some medicinal materials that look very good in appearance. These yin corpses don't need to use them, Qin Yifan generously gave them to Lin Qiulü, anyway, it's almost the same whether they are on her body or his own.

  What was left, Qin Yifan couldn't use, so he gave it all to Yin Shi. Yin Shi didn't know if she had practiced the Sleeve of Space-Time, but in any case, with so many things, a casual toss made them disappear without a trace, which was really very convenient.

  As for Qin Yifan himself, there was no special gain. Yuan Qing Lao Dao had a few pieces of jade, which were the same as those on the corpse controller's body. It seemed to be the method of his own cultivation, but Qin Yifan couldn't watch it and didn't want to cultivate it either. Lin Qiulü didn't want it, so he stuffed all of them into the corpse.

  According to Lin Qiulü, people who practice Taoism often hold some transactions at regular intervals. They take these things to the place of transaction and can also exchange them for good things that they will use in the future.

  Went out for errands in the morning, just got back to the hotel, a bit late, hope everyone understands.
