Chapter 165: Chapter 145: Spoils of War (Please Subscribe)

Fang Xing’s fingers were pale and delicate, like those of a young master from a wealthy family, yet they carried a terrifying demonic power that could deal life and death.

Three fingers reached out but were blocked by a layer of resilient light shield.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators have liquid mana, Core Formation Cultivators have Core-formed True Essence!

Even if the Sect Elder formed a Fake Core, he still possessed Dan Yuan, which he turned into a mana shield for protection, normally impervious to ordinary Spiritual Artifacts.

But at this moment, this sturdy defense crumbled to pieces under Fang Xing’s Great Vajra Wisdom Divine Power!

The Sect Elder’s Sea of Consciousness was shaken by Fang Xing’s Martial Arts intent, rendering him incapable of any effective reaction.

By the time he came back to his senses, he saw his own True Essence Shield shatter like an eggshell under the opponent’s three fingers, and an expression of absolute horror surfaced on his face.

Unfortunately, it was already too late!

Fang Xing’s three fingers swept across the Sect Elder’s neck, and the head of the Fake Core cultivator soared into the sky.

His movements were lightning fast; with a follow-through sweep of his hand, he destroyed most of the Sect Elder’s torso.

After all, the higher the rank of the Cultivator, the harder they are to kill, and to prevent any accidents, delivering a finishing blow was essential.

As Fang Xing watched the Sect Elder’s body fall from the high sky, he turned his gaze to the True Person of Purple Swallow.

Although this True Person seemed severely injured, Cultivators have many cunning and varied means, so one must always be on guard!

"Fellow Daoist... how may I address you?"

True Person Purple Swallow originally had fair features, but at this moment her face was clouded with a deathly pallor, a dreadful sight.

She gazed at Fang Xing with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

But seeing Fang Xing’s expressionless face, her heart sank.

"By common sense, I should kill you."

Fang Xing floated in mid-air, his presence commanding, "Therefore... it’s up to you to convince me, to spare your little life."

True Person Purple Swallow’s eyes flickered instantly.

If one could live, who would choose death?

Moreover, this Quasi Third Rank Body Cultivator had a terrifying combat power, and even at her peak, she might not be his match.

True Person Purple Swallow, having founded an Immortal City, understood the situation instantly and spoke three sentences:

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I am willing to swear an oath on my Daoist heart, never to divulge today’s events!"

"If Fellow Daoist is not reassured, I have a Third Rank spiritual contract in my storage bag!"

"I am willing to pay for my life with money; within my storage bag, I still have twenty-seven Top Grade Spirit Stones... Besides that, I know of a spiritual item greatly beneficial to Body Cultivation, and I am willing to share everything about it with Fellow Daoist!"

...

"A spiritual item greatly beneficial to Body Cultivation, could it be Third Rank?"

Fang Xing’s eyes brightened.

"Of course, if it were not a Third Rank spiritual item, how would it be effective for a Quasi Third Rank Body Cultivator?" True Person Purple Swallow sighed with relief, her face once again clouding over as she hastily swallowed several Elixirs and began to treat her injuries.

"Take out the Third Rank spiritual contract, guarantee you won’t divulge today’s events, and you must tell me everything about that spiritual item in great detail."

Fang Xing demanded.

"It’s possible."

True Person Purple Swallow took out a spiritual contract, which radiated intense mana fluctuations; the entire paper was constantly enveloped in a layer of light, greatly different from a Second Rank spiritual contract.

Using her finger as a pen and blood as ink, she listed out the conditions she had mentioned earlier.

Then, she handed over the Third Rank spiritual contract and the twenty-seven Top Grade Spirit Stones to Fang Xing.

Fang Xing took them and nodded at the text on the spiritual contract.

’This is a Top Grade Spirit Stone, huh?’

He glanced at the Top Grade Spirit Stones in his hand.

These stones were still the size of dice, but utterly translucent, containing richly pure Spiritual Energy within.

If all were buried in one place, over time, they could even form a very small Spirit Vein.

’Top Grade Spirit Stones are valued at a hundred Mid-grade Spirit Stones, equivalent to ten thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones... and in the Cultivation World, no one would actually make such an exchange, at least a ten to twenty percent markup would be expected...’

’This True Person Purple Swallow is indeed generous, splurging the equivalent of two hundred and seventy thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones... But for her life, it’s worth it!’

Pursuant to the spiritual contract, this was most of True Person Purple Swallow’s fortune.

Unless Fang Xing wanted her Magic Treasure too.

Once he made such a request, True Person Purple Swallow would undoubtedly resist desperately, and might even destroy her storage bag before her death, leaving Fang Xing with nothing.

In the Cultivation World, Loose Cultivators had a clear understanding of such measures.

"Alright, what is this Third Rank spiritual item?"

Fang Xing asked.

"That would be a ’Vajra Fruit.’ I had recently returned from Beili Immortal City and saw it in the possession of a fellow Daoist... If I were not a mana Cultivator, with no particular interest in Body Refinement Spiritual Items, nothing would have stopped me from acquiring it..."

True Person Purple Swallow gave a wry smile and imparted to Fang Xing the detailed information about the Vajra Fruit.

’A Vajra Fruit!’

’This item is indeed a supreme treasure for Body Refining Practitioners, especially adept at breaking through certain bottlenecks...’

Without revealing his elation, Fang Xing rejoiced inwardly: ’Indeed... I should head to the Great Immortal City. Even before reaching it, I have obtained information on the Vajra Fruit, is it true that a good man will always be rewarded for his virtues? Is this the payback for good deeds?’

Thinking of this, he gave a cupped fist salute to Real Person Purple Swallow, "With the way so high and the road so long, I won’t see my fellow Daoist off."

"Farewell."

Real Person Purple Swallow let out a long sigh of relief in his heart, knowing that this Quasi Third Rank Body Refining Practitioner finally had no intention of silencing him, and in an instant, he turned into a purple light and swiftly departed.

At this moment, the Cultivation Avatar dressed in a silver robe flew over, carrying several storage bags in hand, evidently having just finished cleaning up the battlefield.

"Let’s go too... no, break down this Array before we leave... This is worth much more than any Thick Earth Array."

Fang Xing nodded his head.

A moment later, the Cultivation Avatar took control of the Wind Snow Sword, while he sat on the transformed sword that was about an arm’s length, and began to tally the spoils of war.

Honestly, the body of the Wind Snow Sword was cool and hard, which made it quite uncomfortable to sit on.

But Fang Xing didn’t mind, and the Cultivation Avatar even thoughtfully opened up a True Essence Shield to block the fierce winds that were blowing against them.

"These storage bags came from those Qi Cultivators; there’s not much of value..."

"As for those three Foundation Establishment Cultivators, they had spiritual pets... but once their masters died, the Prohibition rebounded upon them, killing them instantly, so I could only get some materials to sell..."

"In the hands of Qi Cultivators, there are a total of five storage bags, nineteen Top Grade Magic Artifacts, various items including Xuanshui Turtle Eggs, and seventy-eight thousand Spirit Stones... Some Qi Cultivators actually didn’t have storage bags, are they really Sect Disciples, or are they so poor?"

"Three Foundation Establishment Cultivators contributed one hundred and twenty thousand Spirit Stones... seven Spiritual Artifacts, including one White Jade Shield, which can be used directly..."

"And these standard Magic Robes... all embroidered with the mark of the Myriad Beasts Sect, I feel like I can only sell them all off, otherwise carrying them will easily attract trouble."

...

After sorting out the various items, Fang Xing composed himself and with great anticipation began to crack open the storage bag of the Fake Core Real Person.

At the same time, he casually picked up the black long saber Magical Treasure to appreciate.

This Magical Treasure level Black Blade was six feet long with a slender blade, and its handle was adorned with a ghostly head decoration.

It felt quite heavy in his hand, probably weighing several hundred pounds.

"As expected of a Magical Treasure forged from Third Rank materials, the use of materials is just solid..."

Fang Xing grasped the handle and swung it a few times, finding it to be surprisingly well-balanced.

"But this Vajra Fruit Sect’s Fake Core, well, too bad, and even the purple bead from Real Person Purple Swallow seemed to be a Magical Treasure... could it be that a Magical Treasure per Fake Core Real Person is standard issue?"

This was actually Fang Xing thinking too much.

Many Fake Core Cultivators only use Quasi-Magical Treasures or even Top Grade Spiritual Artifacts as a front!

The fact that the Sect Elder had a Black Saber Magical Treasure, was because he was an Elder of a Core Formation Sect!

The reason Real Person Purple Swallow had a Purple Brush Pearl, was because she owned the Purple Swallow Immortal City, and was a wealthy lady!

For other Loose Cultivators who are Fake Core Cultivators, it might not be possible to have a Magical Treasure at their side.

And those Fake Core Cultivators who possessed Magical Treasures, their combat power was among the best among all the Fake Cores!

"That Myriad Beasts Sect Fake Core, the most valuable thing all over his body might just be this Ghost Head Saber... unfortunately, if I want to use it in the future, I must kill to keep secrets, otherwise it’s easy for the Myriad Beasts Sect to come knocking for revenge..."

After all, the features of the Ghost Head Saber were just too distinct.

But upon further thought, Fang Xing realized that if his own main body made a move, it was meant to silence people anyway, so he could use it casually.

Moreover... it could also be brought to the Main Universe!

He wondered what sort of effect this Low Grade Magical Treasure would have when used to chop down servant-level Clan members...

’Magical Treasures are quite mindful beings... I wonder if they will be repelled by the laws of the Secret Realm?’

’Eh? Have I discovered a blind spot?’

Fang Xing stroked his chin, "It feels like Cultivators who enter a Secret Realm might thrive like fish in water... after all those Lifebound Magical Artifacts, Magical Treasures... are definitely regarded as part of the Cultivator and can be freely brought into a Secret Realm!"

Half an hour later.

The Spiritual Imprint on the storage bag of the Myriad Beasts Sect’s Fake Core Real Person was finally erased.

Fang Xing eagerly explored it with his Divine Sense, only to be severely disappointed.

"Just five Top Grade Spirit Stones? Miser!"

"There are no other Magical Treasures left... miser!"

He pulled out a few bottles and jars, looking like spiritual pet feed, and couldn’t help but be speechless.

Other than that, there were just a few bottles of Elixirs, some Jade Scrolls, and other random items.

"It seems to be just ordinary healing-type Elixirs, as well as Fasting Pills..."

As a barely First Rank Top Grade Alchemist, Fang Xing could now identify the types of Elixirs.

After reviewing several bottles, he opened another Jade Bottle and his expression suddenly changed.

He saw within the Jade Bottle, a single crimson Elixir, emanating a rich, blood-like scent.

"This Elixir... appears to be extraordinary, the Grade is very high..."

"It’s related to bloodlines and possesses strong medicinal properties... It seems not intended for ordinary Cultivators to consume."

Fang Xing set aside this bottle of Elixirs, identified the rest one by one, and then began to examine the Jade Scrolls.

To his disappointment, there were no Cultivation Techniques.

Most of them were just common customs and traditions, yet a "Great Wilderness Demon Beast Atlas" listed many demon beasts of the Great Wilderness, illustrated and described, which was somewhat valuable.

Upon reaching the last Jade Scroll, Fang Xing’s eyes brightened, "Soul Attachment Technique? A Secret Technique on par with Divine Skills?"

"It actually requires a Second Rank spiritual pet with rich Flood Dragon Bloodline... or a Dragon Bloodline spiritual pet with general bloodline, combined with a Fake Dragon Transformation Pill! This seems to be the Elixir from before..."

"This is a Beast Taming Secret Technique, it has no use for me, as I follow the Sword Dao, which values purity and precision..."
