“Could it be….”
An odd look crossed Chen Dengming’s face as he attempted to infuse a little spiritual energy into it.
At once, the bag’s opening unfurled on its own.
Inside, it was bulging, as if strange liquids were writhing and shifting.
Many things floated within it, among them a spirit stone which shone with a spiritual light.
It was, unmistakably, a storage bag.
Chen Dengming probed inside with a thread of his conscious, his face lighting up with glee.
...
This storage bag is around two cubic feet, which is worth at least thirty to forty lower-grade spirit stones.
Furthermore, inside the bag lay a dozen more lower-grade spirit stones, as well as some talismans and charms.
Although there weren’t many, they were quite a pleasant surprise.
He thought of the two men who had been dragged away by the water spider.
Stealthily tracking their traces using his movement technique, he followed their path.
Finally, he discovered the footprints of the two cultivators at a forest.
All that was left of them were their lifeless bodies encased in cocoons made of a sticky, web-like substance.
With a sigh, Chen Dengming momentarily held the storage bag, “By taking your possessions, it is only fair I sent you to rest; better than ending up as fodder for countless spiderlings.”
He sliced open the cocoons with his knife, extracting the magical artifacts they carried, and then incinerated their bodies with a fireball technique, promptly turning to leave.
…
That night.
A madman was eagerly sharpening his knife, ready to pour his heart out in high spirits.
“Great legs, ah, these are great legs.
If I take off a leg, a few spirit stones will be in my pocket…
No, they’ll be in Brother Chen’s pocket.
Brother Chen gets the meat, and I get the soup, and I’ll take half a stone.”
“This spider silk is also great, in pristine condition, I can make a net artifact out of it.
It’s at least worth ten spirit stones, no bargaining!
Yeah, I’ll sell it for eleven, I’ll take the extra one, the rest goes to Brother Chen.”
“Ah, what a shame, these two large eyes are ruined…
they’re worth at least twenty lower-grade spirit stones and they’re just wasted.
Brother Chen lost twenty lower-grade spirit stones, and I lost one.
If I do the math, it turns out I’m not making any profits from selling the silk and the legs.
Actually, I’m losing money.
This isn’t right.”
“What am I going to do about this?
I need to figure out a way to cover the losses…”
Jiang Qiang was busily dismembering the Green Backed Water Spider with great enthusiasm in the front yard of the mountain valley, alternating between excitement, deep sighs and stomping his feet.
“This math…
if you’re not making a profit, you’re losing.
A genius!
Why did I take a fancy to a genius like Qiangzi at first glance?”
Chen Dengming observed him for a while, but couldn’t bear to watch anymore, shaking his head and retreating to his room to examine the items he had taken from the bodies of the two cultivators.
!
From the storage bag, he pulled out thirteen lower-grade spirit stones, plus the six given by Xu Wei; he now had nineteen lower-grade spirit stones.
In addition, there were three large fireball charms, and two Vajra Shield Charms, which were useless to Chen Dengming, but would fetch about eight lower-grade spirit stones on the market.
The Muscle Repair and Qi Restoration Pill usually used for healing was worth one lower-grade spirit stone.
A heap of miscellaneous items, unneeded, so they were burnt.
There were three low-level magical artifacts, two of which were defensive artifacts and one was a flying shuttle attack magical artifact.
Their total value was about twenty lower-grade spirit stones.
Of all the things, Chen Dengming only kept a shell-like defensive artifact and the spirit stones.

He gave the talismans and one defensive artifact to Jiang Qiang, whose defensive artifact had been damaged.
He intended to sell the leftover flying shuttle magical artifact during his visit to Jingxiu Workshop, it was better than nothing.
The greatest gain this time was the storage bag and the entire corpse of the Water Spider Monster.
Originally he and Jiang Qiang were planning to survive by visiting Jingxiu Workshop with the goal of earning more cultivation resources, and possibly join more stable cultivation families there, thus securing a stable environment for cultivation.
Now, with a whole water spider corpse to sell, they could easily make at least a hundred lower-grade spirit stones.
“It was quite risky, but the high profit was worth it…
Blessings in disguise, huh…
Life truly is full of surprises.”
Chen Dengming sighed and packed up his things, left his room and took his knife to lend a hand.
By this time, the Blood Centipede Gu had awakened, the two Gu worms were gleefully flying around the creature’s corpse, happily feasting on the fresh spiritual blood and spirit meat.
The next day, the newly acquired storage bag was brimming to the top.
The four-ton creature was reduced to one and a half tons after it had been dissected, bled, gutted and cleaned.
With companionship and cautious excitement, the two set off for the Jingxiu Workshop two thousand miles away…
