Chapter 251: Chapter 166: Creation Spirit Liquid
"Nine will be enough." Lü Zhong retrieved nine Lotus Seeds and, mimicking the process of them falling naturally, scattered them into the mud of the Lotus Pool.
After finishing these preparations, he paid no mind to Li Qionghua, who stood off to the side.
He found a hidden spot and set up a Small Illusion Array for himself.
"What’s this? Did you follow me in here to warm my bed, Fellow Daoist Li?" Lü Zhong glanced at the pursuing Li Qionghua and said sarcastically.
"If Fellow Daoist Lü is interested, it’s not out of the question." Li Qionghua looked at Lü Zhong with a half-smile. As she spoke, she shed her outer robe, revealing the pure, flawless undergarments beneath, and deliberately struck an alluring pose.
"Fine. Come here, then." Lü Zhong showed no fear, his expression calm as he sized up the Female Cultivator before him. He spoke with what seemed to be genuine sincerity, "I have yet to taste the Yin Yuan of a True Monarch. I imagine that after I harvest and refine it, it will be of great benefit to my cultivation."
The moment he said this, the color drained from Li Qionghua’s face.
Only then did she remember that Lü Zhong was proficient in the Dual Cultivation Dao.
Fearing she had truly played with fire, she quickly retrieved her clothes and left in a panic.
Inside the Array, Lü Zhong sneered.
’If her act had become real, I wouldn’t have minded delivering a bit of heavenly justice. I would have drained that old monster until she was a useless husk and not stopped before then. In any case, to fulfill my agreement with Liuu Piaoniang, all I have to do is give the Water Cyan Python Inner Core to Su Xu’Er’s body. It’s one of the loopholes in that Spirit Contract.’
It was a well-known and unavoidable fact that all contracts not derived from a True Text of Universal Technique had similar loopholes.
Otherwise, when Su Xu’Er’s body was possessed, the Spirit Contract would have been rendered impossible to complete, and Lü Zhong’s Divine Soul would have suffered an immediate backlash from it.
If that had happened, it was entirely possible he would have died on the spot.
Using a scene-reversal technique to confirm she had truly left, Lü Zhong finally took out five Storage Bags. They belonged to the three Huayi Domain cultivators he had killed that afternoon, as well as Guna and Child Ma Cheng. The last two were expected to be the most lucrative.
Naturally, he would save the best for last.
Brimming with excitement, Lü Zhong opened the Storage Bags of the Huayi Domain cultivators.
There wasn’t much inside—just Pills, Talismans, and other items useful for combat, some spare clothes, and daily necessities. These included Spirit Rice and Spirit Fruit, which were specialties of the Huayi Domain, as well as a depleted imitation Black Muzhu.
As for Spirit Stones, there wasn’t a single one.
He had expected this. After all, the three of them hadn’t seemed like Loose Cultivators, so it was natural they wouldn’t carry their entire fortunes on them. A meager harvest was to be expected.
Among the three Storage Bags from the Huayi Domain cultivators, the most valuable item was a Tier Two Medium-sized Array from the old woman’s bag. It was called the Water Vibration Subduing Wave Array and was both offensive and defensive. Judging by the refining technique, it was the work of a master of the Array Dao. Selling it could fetch seven to eight thousand Spirit Stones.
However, Lü Zhong didn’t plan to sell it; he intended to keep it for his own use.
His eyes filled with anticipation as he opened the Storage Bag he’d taken from Guna.
This person’s Storage Bag was similar to those of Insect Cultivators, also consisting of two parts: one for storing items and the other, which appeared to be a Corpse Storage Bag.
The Corpse Storage Bag was quite spacious, a full one hundred cubic meters.
Inside were about thirty coffins. Most were empty, but a small number contained Walking Dead refined from members of the Barbarian Race. Frowning, he inspected the coffins one by one until he saw seven that were colorfully painted.
’What’s this?’
In those seven painted coffins lay the corpses of seven Female Cultivators, each with different features and appearances. Just by looking at the stains on the bodies, it was obvious what Guna had used them for.
Looking at the Soul Suppressing Talismans stuck to their foreheads, Lü Zhong couldn’t help but think to himself:
’This Demon Cultivator Guna really had... unique tastes.’
With the Soul Suppressing Talismans on the corpses, their seven souls were likely trapped inside as well.
Lü Zhong hesitated for a moment, then took out the seven painted coffins and burned them to ash with a burst of fire, granting the trapped souls their release.
After going through the rest of Guna’s Storage Bag, he couldn’t help but curse under his breath.
The disgusting contents were one thing, but the man had also been dirt poor! He guessed that the imitation Black Muzhu in the bag had also been obtained by murdering someone for their treasures. In all of Guna’s possessions, the Jade Nether Fire Fork was likely the only thing of value.
"Huh, what’s this?"
Lü Zhong picked up a jade box and from it took out a cyan Pill.
This was a rare Great Pill.
A medicinal fragrance assailed his nose—it was a dense Grass and Wood Spiritual Qi. One look was enough to tell it was no ordinary item.
’This must be a treasure!’ Lü Zhong thought, feeling he had finally gained something worthwhile.
He carefully put it away. Now it was time for Child Ma Cheng’s Storage Bag.
As a Loose Cultivator, Ma Cheng had previously revealed quite a few techniques and had even managed to escape from Li Wuzhen of the Seven Sons of Huayi on multiple occasions. Lü Zhong estimated this would be the most lucrative Storage Bag of them all, especially because of that small banner that could release illusory images of a dragon and a tiger. That might turn out to be his greatest prize.
There was no time to waste. He immediately opened it.
