Chapter 111 - 93: Harvest, Luoxia Fairy
Born at the bottom, one must act with thoroughness and caution.
Because carelessness often comes with a high price.
Take for example Xue Tong, known as the Insect King outside, a renowned figure in the Fengming Dock Marketplace, comparable to a High-Tier Cultivator above the Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation.
In the end, because he underestimated this lowly Spirit Farmer and rashly barged into his backyard, he ended up losing his life.
He certainly wouldn’t dare to make the same mistake. Unless he eliminates potential dangers, he won’t sleep peacefully.
Having made up his mind, he sat cross-legged and began to circulate the Five Elements Technique to recover the depleted Spiritual Power within him.
After a battle, most of his Spiritual Power was exhausted, especially when casting Perfection-Level Magic, which consumed an extraordinary amount of Spiritual Power and Power of Heart and Spirit. With his current strength of Spiritual Power and Power of Heart and Spirit, he could only hold on for about ten more breaths.
After ten breaths, it would be his turn to run.
One circulation, two circulations.
It must be said that the Perfection-Level Five Elements Technique truly had greatly improved cultivation efficiency; after just one circulation, in the time of a single incense stick, most of the Spiritual Power in his body had recovered.
After the second circulation was completed, his Spiritual Power had slightly increased.
Of course, this might also be due to the fact that his Spirit Field was now quite abundant with Spiritual Qi.
The effect of the Spiritual Qi gathered by the Spirit Gathering Grass is evident to all.
Some Low-Tier Cultivators, lacking in cultivation conditions, would even specifically plant Spirit Gathering Grass to use its effect of gathering Spiritual Qi to speed up their cultivation efficiency.
Although a single plant of Spirit Gathering Grass gathers a limited amount of Spiritual Qi, every bit of increase counts.
Low-Tier Cultivators from the bottom have limited choices.
After his Spiritual Power was fully restored, Zhou Changwang took out Xue Tong’s Storage Bag, combining Spiritual Power and Power of Heart and Spirit to instantly form Spiritual Sense, which swiftly charged toward his Storage Bag.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
In just the time of half an incense stick.
The Spiritual Mark on the Storage Bag was completely erased by him.
"Indeed, after my realm increased, my speed at opening Storage Bags has also improved significantly."
Zhou Changwang felt a joy in his heart.
But thinking about it, it made sense.
He was now the same as Xue Tong, also in the Mid Stage of Qi Refining, possessing Spiritual Sense, although his Power of Spiritual Sense was weaker, the power levels weren’t vastly different.
It was naturally possible to quickly erase the opponent’s Spiritual Mark.
His heart relaxed, and then he saw the scene inside the Storage Bag.
The first impression was that it was big.
Much larger than the Storage Bag he was currently using, about the size of two cubic meters, enough to store a small-sized Demon Beast.
For example, the Iron Armor Pig he previously killed could be completely stored inside.
Then he ’looked’ at the contents inside.
A large pile of bottles and jars, along with numerous miscellaneous items, Spirit Stones, Spirit Talismans, Demon Insect corpses, materials, Demon Insect blood... He took them out one by one and placed them beside him.
In the end, after sorting it all out.
"One thousand three hundred eighty-five Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, seven Spirit Talismans, all of them finished Spirit Talismans at the Initial First Grade Level, over thirty Jade Scrolls, and even two Low-Grade Magical Artifacts, a Flying Knife, and a Jade Pendant. Is this Jade Pendant a special kind of artifact that can calm the mind and gather spirit?
Oh? Is this an Identity Token, Xue Tong the disciple of Insect Valley? He actually hails from Insect Valley?
And this is a key to his house?
That’s right, the place where Xue Tong lives is a manor in the East District, much larger than mine. This key looks indeed more advanced.
After checking his situation tomorrow to ensure there are no risks, I should pay a visit.
For now, it is best to set it aside.
Next are these bottles and jars, poison powder, Spirit Insect blood, and some Spiritual Liquid and Spirit Pill.
For Spirit Pills, there aren’t many that enhance cultivation, only one bottle of Qi Harmony Pills, which is a kind of Spirit Pill suitable for Qi Refining Middle Stage Cultivators and is much better in effect than Primordial Spirit Pill and Yellow Spirit Pill.
Then there are the Antitoxic Pill, Rejuvenation Pill, and it seems like a Nourishing God Pill to restore Spiritual Power? A Primordial Spirit Pill to enhance Spiritual Power?"
A huge heap of goods.
Just sorting it all took Zhou Changwang almost half an hour.
As for Spirit Stones, there’s no need to say more; one thousand three hundred eighty-five Lower-Grade Spirit Stones are truly abundant.
The most Spirit Stones he had before was just over eight hundred pieces.
Compared to such a fortune, it indeed made him a little dazed.
A saying immediately surfaced in his mind, "Murder and arson put on the golden belt"—no wonder so many cultivators are willing to become Tribulation Cultivators.
The loot gained from pillaging is truly too plentiful.
However, Zhou Changwang also knew that although the wealth obtained by Tribulation Cultivation is indeed astonishing and alluring, walking the night path often leads to encountering ghosts.
Hanging one’s head by the belt will inevitably lead to a fall sooner or later.
Such risks, he was not willing to take.
What he pursued was only Changsheng.
Steady and orderly, step by step, is the real way.
Seven Spirit Talismans, three of which are Defense Spirit Talismans, all Golden Shield Talismans, and even finished grade, it shows that Xue Tong indeed valued his life greatly.
Unfortunately, he was facing Zhou Changwang, a single Geng Metal Finger. Unless it was that Top-grade Defensive Magical Artifact Turtle Shell, which has truly formidable and terrifyingly strong defenses, a Golden Shield Talisman, even a finished Golden Light Shield Talisman, is like thin paper, offering no use whatsoever.
The remaining four are the Giant Strength Talisman, Corrosion Talisman, Gravity Cage Talisman, and Weak Water Swamp Talisman.
Among these, the Giant Strength Talisman and Corrosion Talisman are relatively simple; one increases strength, the other can corrode objects, both are of Initial Tier First Grade.
