Gazing at the items scattered across the ground, Su Ping quickly summoned Ling Rat White, instructing it to gather everything and place them into his Storage Pouch.
"Although Storage Pouches are affordable due to mass production,"
"Their material is genuinely a Magical Artifact."
"It seems that my flames, imbued with the power of technological crystallization, can even break through low-tier Magical Artifacts!"
"This is good news. If low-tier Magical Artifacts can't withstand it, then I don't need to worry about whether the body-protecting spiritual light of a Qi training (late stage) Cultivator can block my flames."
Su Ping scanned the ground and discovered several sets of blood-stained and tattered Daoist robes, Magical Artifact swords, and even crowns among the dropped items.
Recalling the actions of these three individuals earlier,
Su Ping was now 100% certain that these three were Bandit Cultivators, and they had harmed more than just one of his associates!
Su Ping didn't have time to examine the other items in detail. After helping Ling Rat White collect them, Su Ping waved his hand, stirring up a strong gust of wind that swept the remaining non-combustible trash into the pond.
This was also a way to prevent these three Bandit Cultivators from being exposed in the wilderness.
Afterward, Su Ping instructed Ling Rat White to activate its full warning capabilities, and he quickly galloped towards his home.
Jin Quan City had already become a massive whirlpool.
Su Ping decided that he would not return to that area until the Immortal Sect territory returned to peace.
It was a pity about the Hundred Treasures Market; there were still many good things there.
Su Ping had originally thought that if he had the Opportunity, he would go there next time to acquire a Qi Refinement Stage Alchemy technique.
Although he had valid reasons for buying discarded pills these past few times,
As his cultivation increased, he would need to consume more and more discarded pills.
Even if he switched to different markets each time,
The possibility of exposure would still grow larger and larger!
Due to taking a detour, it was already noon the next day when Su Ping returned to Linyue Manor.
After showing his face to everyone, reviewing reports, and making some decisions,
Su Ping entered the cultivation room, sat cross-legged, picked up the Storage Pouch containing the Bandit Cultivators' items, and began to examine them carefully.
"One hundred fifty-eight Spirit Stones!"
"And three unopened bottles of Peiyuan Pill, plus more than half a bottle of Qi-restoring pills!"
"Two hundred catties of spiritual rice, thirty catties of Yao Beast meat!"
"Are Bandit Cultivators that rich now?"
Su Ping knew there were many Spirit Stones before, but he couldn't help but be surprised after counting them carefully.
He didn't know that these Spirit Stones were accumulated by Zhang Brothers Three over decades of arduous cultivation, combined with the proceeds from their robberies.
Furthermore, as Bandit Cultivators, Zhang Brothers Three trusted no one, keeping most of their wealth on their person, which conveniently benefited Su Ping entirely.
In addition to these riches, Su Ping also found more than ten sets of Magical Artifact robes, including those of their victims, seven Magical Artifact swords, and five Magical Artifact spears.
There were also more than twenty Talismans with various functions and over ten Jade Slips.
After confirming that these Jade Slips had no black Qi, Su Ping began to try reading them one by one.
While reading, he didn't forget to take out a bottle of purification spiritual medicine with his left hand, just in case.
"Preliminary Explanation of Formations!"
"And this preliminary explanation also contains many annotations from predecessors; this is a Cultivator Family's Legacy Jade Slip!"
"I wonder if it's the Legacy of those three, or the Relics of some unfortunate associate."
Su Ping's face lit up as he read one of the Jade Slips:
"This kind of Legacy Jade Slip is much more valuable than the common goods sold in the market!"
"Hiss! I suddenly understand why some Cultivators can't resist becoming Bandit Cultivators!"
Su Ping continued reading and found that most of the Jade Slips contained various Qi Refining Cultivation Techniques that he also possessed.
The last Jade Slip.
Su Ping had only been reading for a few seconds when his brows furrowed slightly.
"The Dao of man takes from what is insufficient to supplement what is abundant. By sacrificing ten thousand people with blood, one can obtain the Opportunity for Foundation Establishment!"
Su Ping was startled by the content of the Jade Slip and understood what the Foundation Establishment Opportunity he had heard about earlier was.
"The blood sacrifice technique mentioned in this Jade Slip requires at least ten individuals with Spiritual Roots as 'spirit seeds,' and then the slaughter of ten thousand people in a short period as 'fuel' to complete the required blood sacrifice Formation. Only then will there be a certain probability of a Blood Spirit Crystal being born!"
"According to the Jade Slip, the Blood Spirit Crystal is a Foundation Establishment spiritual item. Even the lowest quality Blood Spirit Crystal can increase the chance of a Qi Refining Perfection Cultivator breaking through to Foundation Establishment by one layer!"
"This is the most evil of evil arts!"
"And it's the kind that will definitely be severely suppressed and banned by all on the Righteous Path!"
"Furthermore, this Blood Spirit Crystal must have huge hidden dangers. Perhaps a Foundation Establishment Cultivator who advances using this method will be stuck for life or be controlled by others!"
"Otherwise, if Foundation Establishment were that easy, this region wouldn't be dominated by a Righteous Path School like the Crimson Kite Immortal Sect."
"However, at this time, the appearance of such a Jade Slip… No one would believe it wasn't intentionally spread by someone."
Su Ping whispered, then forcefully crushed the Jade Slip into powder with his right hand!
This kind of evil art could never have been obtained by those three Bandit Cultivators through normal channels.
Considering its content, keeping this item was too dangerous!
Su Ping put himself in their shoes and worried whether any Old Cultivators at Qi Refining Perfection might take the risk and try this method due to their fear of death.
After all, the principle that death is the hardest thing in the world is universal in any world.
"Old Cultivators at Qi Refining Perfection are either contributing their remaining strength in the Immortal Sect or enjoying their later years in various Cultivation Families. Neither of those places is close to my Mortal city."
"The Materials have also been bought, so I won't be going to the various markets during this period."
"Managing my own small plot of land can be considered fulfilling my duty as an Inspector."
Su Ping made up his mind. He calculated the time and realized it was time for his Fishing attempts to refresh.
He put on his bamboo hat, transforming into an unremarkable Fishing old man, and sat by Linyue Lake, casting his Fishing hook.
This time, the Linyue Lake Fishing spot refreshed 50 times.
Before he even finished Fishing, Su Ping saw the long-awaited notification:
[Congratulations, Player, your Fishing Rank has increased!]
[Current Fishing Rank: Rank 3 (0/1000)]
[Fishing Rank has increased, new items have been added to the Fishing Shop!]
"Finally leveled up!"
Although he had already calculated that even with the worst luck, he would accumulate enough experience this time, he couldn't help but feel joyful when it actually happened.
Su Ping maintained his Fishing posture and immediately opened the Fishing Shop to check the newly available exchange items.
[Huzhong Cave Heaven (Unique): After use, you can enter your exclusive Huzhong Cave Heaven. Cooldown: thirty seconds. Exchange required: 100 Little Green Fish, 10 Big Green Fish, 1 Azure Spirit Fish]
[Cave Heaven Special Card Pack: After use, you can randomly obtain items, pets, or blueprints usable within the Huzhong Cave Heaven. Exchange required: 10 fishing coins]
"Huzhong Cave Heaven, it's finally here!"
"Like the Return City Talismanic Incantation, as a unique exchange item, it only requires 1 Azure Spirit Fish."
"With my current Rank, the probability of catching an Azure Spirit Fish will also increase, giving me a greater chance of obtaining the Huzhong Cave Heaven!"
"And this Cave Heaven Special Card Pack, is it tempting me to spend my precious fishing coins on gacha?"
"Hmph! Am I someone who would succumb to such temptation?"
"At most, I'll draw one or two packs each time I fish to test my luck!"
