Chapter 93.
When you come from the bottom, you have to be thorough and careful in your actions.
Because of carelessness, often pay a big price.
For example, this Xue Tong, who had the title of Bug King outside, was a famous and powerful person in the Feng Ming Dock Square Market, comparable to a high-level cultivator above the seventh level of qi cultivation.
As a result, he lost his life because he underestimated him as a bottom-level spirit farmer and recklessly broke into his backyard.
The same mistake, he naturally didn’t dare to make. Without cutting out as much danger as possible, he wouldn’t be able to sleep with peace of mind.
With his mind made up, he then sat down on his knees and began to utilize the Five Elements Technique to recover the consumed spiritual energy in his body.
After a battle, the spiritual energy in his body had already consumed most of it, especially when casting consummate level spells, the consumption of spiritual energy and mental energy was especially high, with his current spiritual energy and mental energy strength, he could at most hold on for about ten more breaths of time.
After ten breaths, it would be his turn to flee.
One cycle of days, two cycles of days.
It had to be said that the cultivation efficiency of the Five Elements Skill at the Perfection level was indeed too much higher, and after just one circumference, in the time it took to burn incense, most of the spiritual energy in his body had been restored.
After the second circumference had finished running, his spiritual energy had even slightly increased.
Of course, this, perhaps, was also due to the fact that within his spiritual field, the spiritual qi was quite abundant nowadays.
The effect of the spiritual qi gathered by the Spirit Sinking Grass was evident to all.
Some low-ranked cultivators, without the conditions for cultivation, would even specialize in planting Spirit Convergence Grass to accelerate the efficiency of cultivation with the help of its role in converging spiritual qi.
Although a plant of Spirit Grass, can gather the spiritual qi is limited, but increase a little is also a little.
There weren’t many low-level cultivators at the bottom who could choose from it.
After his spiritual energy was exhausted, tan san then took out Xue Tong’s storage bag, and his spiritual energy combined with the power of his mind and spirit to form a spiritual sense in an instant, quickly rushing towards his storage bag.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths ……
It was only a small half column of effort.
The Spiritual Sense imprint on the storage bag was completely erased by him.
“It’s true that after my realm has risen, the speed at which I can open the storage bag has also accelerated quite a bit.”
tan san was delighted in his heart.
But it was normal to think about it.
He was now in the same position as Xue Tong, also in the middle stage of Qi Refinement, grasping a Spiritual Sense, and although the power of his Spiritual Sense was weaker, the difference in power level was not too great.
Naturally, he was able to quickly erase the other party’s spiritual sense imprint.
His mind was relieved, and then he saw the scene inside the storage bag.
The first sensation was that it was large.
It was far larger than the storage bag he was using today. There was about two cubic meters of it, almost able to put down some slightly smaller demonic beasts.
For example, the Iron Armored Pig that he had killed earlier would be able to fit in there in its entirety.
Immediately afterward, he then ‘looked’ at the things inside.
A large pile of bottles and jars, as well as many miscellaneous items, spirit stones, spirit talismans, demonic insect corpses, materials, and demonic insect blood …… He took them out in order and put them aside.
The last one was organized.
“One thousand three hundred and eighty-five lower grade spirit stones, seven spirit talismans, all of them are finished spirit talismans, first grade beginner grade, more than thirty jade sketches, surprisingly, there are also two lower grade magical artifacts, a flying sword, and a piece of it is a jade pendant… This jade pendant, could it be that special kind of magical artifact that can calm the qi and condense the mind?
Huh? This is the identity token, Bug Valley disciple Xue Tong? He’s from Bug Valley?
And this is the key to the house?
By the way, Xue Tong lives in a manor house in the Eastern District, much bigger than mine, and this key looks like it’s a bit more advanced.
After I inquire about the other party tomorrow and make sure there’s no risk, I’ll still have to take a walk.
For now, it’s natural to put it away first.
Next, were these bottles and jars, poison powder, spirit insect blood, and some spirit liquid and spirit elixir.
In the case of spirit pills, there weren’t many spirit pills to increase cultivation, there was only a bottle of Qi Harmonization Pill, which was a kind of spirit pill suitable for mid-qi refining practitioners to cultivate, and the effect was much better than Yuan Ling Pill and Yellow Spirit Pill.
Then there was the Antidote Pill, the Rejuvenation Pill, and this was, the Nourishing Spirit Pill for restoring spiritual power? The Yuan Shen Dan for growing spiritual power?”
A large pile of harvest.
tan san spent a small half hour even organizing it.
Among them, there was no need to mention the spirit stones, one thousand three hundred and eighty-five lower grade spirit stones, which could definitely be considered generous.
When he had the most spirit stones on him before, there were only eight hundred or so.
When comparing such a huge amount of money, there was really some disorientation.
In his heart, the phrase, killing and setting fire to a golden belt immediately surfaced – no wonder there were so many cultivators who would be happy to be looting cultivators.
It was really the proceeds from looting that were too lucrative.
However, tan san also knew that the wealth gained from robbing cultivators was indeed amazing and very tempting, but if you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts.
Putting his head on the waistband of his pants, there would always be a time when he would fall off.
He was not willing to take such a risk.
What he pursued was a long life.
Being peaceful and steady, following the steps, was the way to go.
Seven spirit talismans, a total of three defensive spirit talismans, all of them are golden light shield talismans, and still finished product level, obviously this Xue Tong for his own life, is also cherish very much.
Unfortunately, he is facing tan san, a little gengjin finger, unless it is the top grade defensive artifact turtle armor, indeed strong defense, hard scary, just golden light shield talisman, even if it is a finished golden light shield talisman, also like a thin paper, can not play the slightest role.
The other four, respectively, is a huge power talisman, corruption talisman, gravity cage talisman, weak water swamp talisman.
Among them, the Great Strength Talisman and the Corruption Talisman were relatively simple, one increasing strength and the other being able to corrupt items, all of which were only at the first grade level.
They were both only at the first-grade beginning level.
As for the Gravity Cage talisman, it is a Grade 1 middle level spiritual talisman, the power is not weak, in the battle suddenly make out, can make the opponent suddenly suffered a strong gravity pressure, the movement can not help but become slow.
The weak water swamp talisman, of course, is not really weak water, but once made, a large area of the ground, will become a swamp, once stood on it, will be deeply sunk in it, difficult to pull out.
The two spirit talismans, both of which were first-grade mid-rank spirit talismans, were not weak.
When used in conjunction, they would even cause the effect of one plus one being greater than two.
Each of them was worth more than a hundred lower grade spirit stones.
“Luckily, I sparked the formation in time so that he couldn’t judge my position for a while.
Otherwise, if these two spirit talismans were used together and acted on my body, it would have been difficult to predict the victory or defeat.”
tan san sighed with emotion, and put it away in a precious manner.
These two spirit talismans, in the time of surprise attack, have a strange effect, can also be one of his killer mace.
The other is two pieces of lower-grade magic weapon, flying sword role is smaller, he already has a flying sword, and also captured the other side of the middle-grade magic weapon flying sword, this flying sword can only naturally be used as an add-on, he intends to find a time to sell, should also be able to harvest a couple hundred lower-grade spirit stone.
As for that lower-grade magic weapon jade pendant.
After tan san stimulated it, he found that it was indeed a kind of magic weapon that could calm the qi and concentrate the mind, eliminating distracting thoughts, only that it needed to be stimulated with spiritual power, and could only be sustained for half an hour at a time, which was not as good as some of the similar magic weapons that could play a role directly after being worn.
But for him, it was already considered a top quality treasure, and its value was even above many medium grade magic weapons.
After all, in the Immortal Cultivation World, there is no lack of those who are eager and impatient, if there is such a magic weapon to assist, of course, it can be twice the result with half the effort, increasing the efficiency of cultivation.
Even for tan san’s role was not small.
Immediately afterward, tan san held onto a token.
The Bug Valley token.
“Bug Valley, I heard that it is an Immortal Dharma Sect that is located 3,000 miles away from Feng Ming Dock Square Market.
Although its strength is far inferior to the Water Cloud Immortal Sect and the Qing Yuan Sect, as an Immortal Law Sect, there are bound to be True Lord powerhouses above the Jiedan Realm within it.”
tan san’s face revealed a shade of uncertainty.
This was not really good news for him.
Bug King Xue Tong, is a Bug Valley disciple, and is still a formal disciple …… which has a division, can be far more scrupulous than ordinary casual cultivators.
This if any division elders come to the door ……
“But people are killed, think more are useless.
The Bug Valley is extremely far away from here, and the chances of running into it shouldn’t be great.
The big thing is to pay attention in the future.”
tan san was also an extremely decisive person, and would not be frightened by this.
People had killed the door, it was either you or me, so he wouldn’t even consider that much.
However, just in case, he still planned to find an opportunity to destroy this token, but of course he couldn’t do it in his own yard.
He was also afraid that there was another mystery within this token, and when the time came to make a mistake, it would be troublesome instead.
In the end, only then did he set his gaze, landing on top of those many jade slips.
“Five Poison Heart Sutra”, “Insect Control Technique”, “Distraction Technique”, “Spirit Insect List”, “Spirit Insect Detailed Explanation of Seven Chapters”, “Antidote Technique”, “Spirit Insect Seven Dans”, “Insect Attracting Technique”, “Insect Repelling Technique” ……”
tan san examined the jade slips one by one.
It took a long time before he came back to his senses.
Almost the entirety of the jade slips on the other party’s body, Hitomi, were related to Spirit Insects, and only a handful of a few spells were mostly for Spirit Insects as well.
For example, the Insect Drawing Technique.
It was a spell that simulated a special aura to attract the appearance of spirit insects.
The same was true for the Insect Repelling Spell.
It was able to avoid itself, from being attacked by Spirit Insects, from being harmed.
“On the contrary, the Splitting Art is actually a rare method of using spells to refine the mind.
At the cost of splitting one’s mind, one then slowly raises one’s mind power during the recovery process.
The more times you split your mind, the stronger your natural mental strength would be.
The process, however, was very painful.
It’s no wonder that this Xue Tong’s storage bag has so many Spirit Nourishing Pills, it turns out that they are mostly for the cultivator’s Split Mind Technique.”
tan san was also feeling the magic of this Divine Distraction Technique.
After all, it was well known that in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, the cultivation method to enhance the mind and spirit was extremely rare and extremely precious, and it could be said that any spirit elixir and spirit material related to mental power was of extremely high value.
For example, the Spirit Nourishing Pill, a bottle of ten, a price of fifteen lower-grade spirit stones, a bottle of one hundred and fifty lower-grade spirit stones.
This was still a spirit recovery type of elixir.
And can increase the spiritual power of the spirit dan is even more expensive, one will need thirty pieces of inferior spirit stone, a bottle is three hundred pieces.
This Split Spirit Technique was extremely painful as it required splitting the mind and spirit every time it was practiced, but its characteristic of being able to slowly increase spiritual power during the recovery process was definitely worth a lot of money.
If it was in a place like the Six Directions Pavilion or the Water Cloud Pavilion, it would be priced at least three hundred lower grade spirit stones.
Even, it wouldn’t be put up for sale at all. “The Five Poison Heart Scripture is a special Immortal Cultivation Technique that utilizes the power of the five poisons to stimulate the meridians and cultivate poisonous techniques.
If one cultivates this gong method, even the spiritual energy comes with its own toxicity, and once one is against it, one will be poisoned if one is not careful, and one will often need to be on the alert.
Moreover, it is also mentioned in this gong method that if one is able to gather the poison sacs of five first-order top-grade Five Poison Demon Beasts and refine them, then one will be able to use the power of the five poisons to quench the cultivator’s spiritual roots, possessing a certain efficacy of enhancing the cultivator’s spiritual roots. ……”
tan san was instantly moved.
This was one of the few methods in the Immortal Cultivation World that could enhance the spiritual roots.
If one were to cultivate ……
tan san thought about it, but eventually calmed down and shook his head with difficulty.
Although this method is good, it is not suitable for him.
Five Poison Heart Sutra, cultivate to the end, can be completely a poisonous person.
After all, it is the method of the side door, and there is a loss of longevity, even if it really improves the practitioner’s spiritual root qualifications, there is almost no hope of building a foundation.
“It’s a pity that it’s not desirable after all.”
tan san sighed in frustration, and in his heart, he also thought for a moment, whether he could use the five top-grade five elements demonic beasts to refine them in the same way, to see if he could also improve his spiritual root qualification.
But in the end, he realized that his own background was insufficient, and even if this method was really feasible, he didn’t dare to try it easily.
There is no other.
He did not have the capital to make mistakes.
Once he made a mistake, he would be doomed.
“As for the Insect Control Skill, it is a method of controlling insects, and it is described above that the stronger the spiritual power, the more contracts one can sign, and the greater the number of spirit insects one can drive.
Generally, a low level cultivator can at most drive three spirit insects at the same time, five at the fourth level of Qi cultivation, seven at the sixth level of Qi cultivation, and nine at the seventh level of Qi cultivation.
Of course the higher the spiritual strength, the more spirit insects one could drive.
If the strength is much lower than the cultivator himself, the cultivator can naturally also use spells to drive more spirit insects to work for him.
For example, if I control the Gold Devouring Spirit Bee Mother Bee, I can naturally use the Mother Bee to drive countless daughter bees to work for me.
The Spirit Insect List is a list that records the rankings of many spirit insects, the main introduction is the top 100 list, the Gold Devouring Spirit Bee is not ranked at all.
Instead, the two butterflies, ranked ninety-seven, called the colorful poisonous butterfly, its fan out of the toxicity of the powder, can be large-scale poisonous death of the same realm of demonic beasts, if it is to be refined, and even be able to make a kind of spiritual awareness of the venom called ‘colorful flowers’ can be silent, invade the cultivator’s spiritual awareness, if not discharged in a timely manner to detoxify the spiritual sense will be seriously damaged, the strength of a big hit is deducted. The strength is greatly reduced.
Spirit bugs explained seven, is about the basic knowledge of the spirit bugs, detoxification law is the corresponding poisonous insects detoxification method, but the spirit bugs seven dan, surprisingly, is a kind of spirit bugs can be fed, so that the evolution of the seven kinds of spirit dan.
The effects and materials required for each of these Spirit Dans were described above.
Even the method of refining was mentioned in a small amount.
Unfortunately, he didn’t understand the theory of dan, didn’t understand the art of controlling fire and refining dan, so it was difficult to refine the dan after all.
One can only ask an alchemist, to help refine ……”
tan san examined the jade slips one by one, and in his heart, he only felt that it was an eye-opening experience.
He also had a better understanding of insect cultivation.
Early the next morning, after tan san had breakfast, he left the door.
His main concern was whether or not Insect King Xue Tong still had friends and family, or elders from his master’s school.
If there were those who were related to him, he would have to consider his own safety.
In addition, after experiencing Xue Tong’s intrusion into the backyard, tan san was also skeptical about the safety of the interior of the marketplace.
Since it wasn’t absolutely safe in the courtyard, he naturally had to consider a foolproof plan to be able to get out and leave at the first opportunity in case he encountered a danger he couldn’t resist.
The cunning rabbit still had three holes.
He felt that he, too, had to make more preparations before he could do so.
At that exact moment, the sky was beautiful and it was pouring rain.
tan san obediently put on a bucket hat on his head, wearing a raincoat on his body, and then covered his face with a black scarf, so that unless he was familiar with someone, it was generally extremely difficult to recognize him.
This time, he was mainly poking around for news, and by the way, he disposed of some of the loot, and it was naturally best if he could not be recognized.
Therefore, at this moment, he also used the Breath Convergence Technique to maintain his breath at the third level of Qi Practicing.
With his current Breath Convergence Technique at the Grand Completion level, unless he was one realm higher than him, that is, a strong Foundation Establishment cultivator, it would be extremely difficult for the average person to see through his true cultivation.
Even if it was a high level cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Practicing, it was still the same.
Moving along, soon tan san arrived in the middle of the scattered cultivator bazaar.
First, he paid a lower-grade spirit stone to obtain the qualification to set up a stall and found a relatively backward position, and he smoothly set out many spirit materials, including the lower-grade magic weapon.
One after another, there were many cultivators asking for prices, tan san mostly sold them at a price one or two levels lower than the market, and did not move to ask about something.
For example, in the workshop market, there were several ‘fixers’ selling information.
It wasn’t until the rain stopped in the afternoon, and after he had sold most of the things on his stall and exchanged them for more than three hundred lower-grade spirit stones, that he closed his stall and left.
A quarter of an hour later, he walked up to a middle-aged female cultivator with a withered yellow face that looked like a peasant woman.
“I’ve heard it said that Fairy Lok Ha’s side has a certain channel of information?”
tan san struck a soundproofing spell, then asked.
The Fairy of the Falling Cloud was precisely the Daoist name of the middle-aged female cultivator in front of him, although from the face, how could this person not be able to stick a single star with the fairy.
But people have always referred to themselves as such, of course he also readily accepts good advice and will not go and make a fool of himself.
“Ask for things, or ask for people.”
The peasant woman, ‘Fairy of the Fallen Cloud’, asked.
“Ask the person.”
tan san was silent for a while before speaking.
“What person?”
“Insect King Xue Tong.”
After an incense stick burned, tan san walked out of the Scattered Cultivator Bazaar.
A hint of relief appeared on his face.
The Insect King, Xue Tong, was indeed considered an established expert within the bazaar, and had quite a few battle records.
Therefore, there was also relatively more information about him.
From ‘Fairy Lok Ha’, he knew that the other party’s battle of fame was in the depths of the Two Abyss Mountains, where the other party had fought with a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Practicing over a top-grade spiritual material.
The two fought, but in the end, it was Xue Tong who was better and killed the cultivator at the seventh level of Qi cultivation, and even the other party’s body was transformed into nourishment for his spirit worms.
After this battle, he became known as the Bug King.
This was because amongst the many bug cultivators in Feng Ming Dock’s workshop, it was indeed he who was the strongest.
Of course, what tan san was most concerned about was the other party’s relationships.
Fortunately, it wasn’t bad as he had expected before.
Xue Tong’s strength was naturally extremely strong, and his identity as a Bug Cultivator was also very scary.
However, it was also true that most of the bug cultivators were loners, not only did they not have any friends, but instead, they were mostly enemies.
Among them, the cultivator who was beheaded by him at the seventh level of Qi cultivation had a close friend at the eighth level of Qi cultivation who had openly said that he wanted to behead him to avenge his brother’s death.
Even in the black market, there was a bounty on him.
If anyone was able to behead him, with his head, they would receive one hundred lower grade spirit stones.
Even the division.
It was similarly mentioned in the message that the other party was indeed a disciple of the Insect Valley, but was only an ordinary disciple, and in general, it was unlikely that a strong person in the Insect Valley would come thousands of miles away specifically to avenge him for the sake of an ordinary disciple.
“In that case, I can feel quite relieved.”
tan san could not help but show a relaxed look on his face.
As for the black market reward?
If it was a thousand lower grade spirit stones, he might still be moved, but if it was just a hundred lower grade spirit stones, he would of course choose to do more than less.
Not to mention, the other party’s head had already been burnt to ashes by one of his fireballs.
Even if he wanted to claim it, he would not be able to get the credentials to do so.
Walking out of the Scattered Cultivator Bazaar, tan san thought for a moment and came directly to the entrance of a huge merchant house.
The Bai Clan Merchant House!
This was the second time he had entered the Bai Clan’s merchant house.
Perhaps because of the recent rumors about the Bai Clan in the marketplace, there were relatively fewer people in the Bai Clan’s shop.
Inside the spacious store, there were only a few people asking for prices.
Of course, tan san didn’t see the seventh level Qi Practicing cultivator he met last time, the first-grade middle-ranked puppet master Cao Youde.
This in turn made him breathe a sigh of relief, instinctively, he resisted dealing with that kind of high-ranking cultivator.
Rushing into contact with unequal status was not necessarily a good thing.
It was also worth mentioning that the intermediate level sword puppet that the other party had refined was still within the Bai Clan’s store and had not been sold.
tan san only took a brief glance before averting his gaze, this sword puppet, with a price tag of eighteen thousand lower grade spirit stones, was not something he could afford.
Then, he didn’t go back to the same steward from the last time, but instead approached an ordinary attendant within the Bai Clan’s merchant house, stating outright that he wanted to purchase the Five Elemental Thunder Transformation Technique spell.
Last time, the Bai Clan Merchant Guild’s steward had mentioned three group-attacking thunder spells, which were the Gathering Thunder and Turning Rain Technique, the Divine Heavenly Five Thunder Boom and the Lesser Five Elements Thousand Thunders Technique.
However, from the individual group attack lightning techniques, many lightning spells could be split.
At that time, in order to plant the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree, he had chosen the spell Thousand Thunder Flash, which was split from the Minor Five Elements Thousand Thunder Technique, but among the spells that could be combined to form the Minor Five Elements Thousand Thunder Technique, there was also another, the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique, which was an intermediate level lightning spell, and also a type of attacking lightning spell that was extremely powerful.
Previously, in the same battle with Xue, he had already felt that his own means of attack, was a little too weak, the Gengjin Finger and Fireball Technique were, after all, of a lower grade, and even if they were at the Perfection Realm, and congealed into a Spell Seed, the upper limit of their power was also lower.
That was why he was thinking of learning one or two more stronger attack spells.
And the first choice, naturally, was the Thunder Spell.
It just so happens that the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Art can be combined with the Thousand Thunder Flash to form the high level thunder spell Little Five Elements Thousand Thunder Art …… Whether it is for the sake of what is needed for his goal at this time, or for the sake of being able to learn the high level thunder spell Little Five Elements Thousand Thunder Art along the way in the future, he is going to choose this Five Elements Thunder Transformation Art.
The Bai Clan Merchant Guild Squire certainly wouldn’t refuse to sell the spell.
After tan san gave two hundred and eighty-eight lower grade spirit stones, the other party only slightly asked for instructions before handing over a light golden jade slip, into tan san’s hands.
In this way, the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique arrived.
