The three of them had been fighting on this mountain for quite some time and caused quite a commotion. There was a high chance that they would attract treasure hunting cultivators and they could not stay here any longer.
Wang Daoyuan took away Du Heng's storage bag and Dharmic weapon. He used earth attribute spirit energy to erode the corpse and cleaned up all traces of the fight.
Thereafter, he left the mountain peak.
After dealing with the two evil cultivators, Wang Daoyuan could not help but lament, "I thought that treasure hunting cultivators would be the fastest way to earn spirit stones. To think that it would be even faster to do evil against evil!"
He had truly profited from dealing with Bai Sheng and Du Heng.
In comparison, Du Heng was relatively poor and only had five to six thousand spirit stones and a few jade scrolls in his storage bag.
The cultivation technique he cultivated was called the Malevolent Yin Art. During cultivation, one would have to absorb Yin qi and malevolent qi.
There was no lack of those things in the Mystic Yin River.
If it was anywhere else, one could only rely on killing cultivators or mortals to collect Yin qi and malevolent qi.
That cultivation technique could only be cultivated to the peak of Foundation Establishment and was considered a relatively low-level evil cultivation technique.
Most of his Dharmic arts were used in conjunction with Yin qi and malevolent qi and were of no value to Wang Daoyuan.
The only valuable jade scroll recorded a secret skill – the Yin Gathering and Malevolent Attracting Technique. That secret skill recorded the method to collect, store and use Yin qi and malevolent qi.
Wang Daoyuan was going to collect pure Yin qi and could use that secret skill.
As for Du Heng's black banner, it was called the Tiger Soul Malevolent Banner.
When refining that banner, the soul of a tiger-type demon beast was fused with it.
Normally, Yin qi and malevolent qi were used to nourish the tiger soul. The stronger the tiger soul, the stronger the Tiger Soul Malevolent Banner.
The grade of such Dharmic weapons had nothing to do with the materials used – it mainly depended on the strength of the tiger soul.
As long as the materials could withstand the power of the tiger soul, they could be used to refine Dharmic weapons.
The Mystic Yin River was where evil cultivators gathered.
Everyone had the mentality of being on the side of the same faction. If he were to run into a group of evil cultivators as a righteous cultivator, he might be surrounded and attacked.
Wang Daoyuan decided to use the Tiger Soul Malevolent Banner as a cover to pretend to be an evil cultivator.
Heretical cultivators had all kinds of strange Dharma artifacts, and there were all kinds of them.
However, most of them were either banners or flags. For example, Elder Zhou Qi of the Netherworld Sect used a large black flag as his magic tool.
Wang Daoyuan's use of the Tiger Soul Yin Fiend Banner was not conspicuous.
Du Heng didn't have much money, but Bai Sheng was filthy rich.
His split soul peeked into his memories and found out that this fellow had been doing the shady business of seizing treasures since he was in the middle stage of Qi Refinement.
In the beginning, he followed a few cultivators at the peak of Qi Refinement and relied on the leftovers to cultivate.
After more than 20 years, he only reached the seventh level of Qi Refinement when he was 50 years old.
Later on, he poisoned the other cultivators in the same group and took all the wealth that the group had accumulated over the years.
He obtained a lot of pills, talismans, and artifacts, which were worth twenty to thirty thousand spirit stones.
He sold all the things he didn't need and exchanged them for Spirit Stones to buy pills that could increase his cultivation.
It took him several years to raise his cultivation to the ninth level of Qi Refinement.
Later on, he traveled around in search of opportunities. Finally, he found a place where a fiendish cultivator had passed away and obtained the fiendish cultivator's inheritance.
The two most important things in this inheritance were the Five Elements Blood Demon Technique and the third-grade superior-grade artifact refinement inheritance that could refine heretical Dharma artifacts.
The Five Elements Blood Demon Technique could be cultivated to the peak of the Purple Mansion Realm. It was an extremely brilliant heretical cultivation technique.
Using the blood and True Essence of humans and demon beasts to cultivate the technique could make up for the slow cultivation speed of cultivators with five spirit roots.
Bai Sheng relied on this method to quickly increase his cultivation.
With the powerful Evil Path Cultivation Method and Evil Path Dharma Artifacts, his fighting prowess had greatly increased. It would be much easier for him to snatch treasures.
Soon, he accumulated a large amount of spirit stones and successfully bought a Foundation Establishment Pill, successfully reaching the Foundation Establishment realm.
After reaching the Foundation Establishment realm, he refined the Nine Spirits White Bone Wheel according to the heretical Dharma artifact refinement inheritance.
Since then, he rarely had a match among his peers.
Now, he was more than 130 years old and had been seizing treasures for more than 100 years.
The Nine Spirits White Bone Wheel was made from the bones of cultivators. If it was damaged, it could be repaired with the bones of demon beasts or cultivators.
Using the artifact refinement method, it could refine the essence of the artifact and repair any damage.
Normally, it could be nourished with the blood of demon beasts or cultivators to increase its power.
The nine skeletons of the Nine Spirits White Bone Wheel had the ability to store spiritual energy.
Inside each skeleton, there was a special artifact pattern inscribed on it.
This artifact pattern was similar to the runes of the Spiritual Talisman Dao. However, during the process of inscribing the runes, both spiritual energy and spiritual sense were required.
However, the artifact pattern didn't have this requirement. It only needed to be able to display a certain function under the activation of spiritual energy.
Under the activation of spiritual energy, the artifact pattern could release spells.
The spiritual energy required to activate the artifact pattern could be stored in advance or injected into the artifact during battle.
Wang Daoyuan naturally wouldn't refine a heretical Dharma artifact, but this artifact refinement method could be used as a reference.
Artifacts that could release spells were generally referred to as auxiliary artifacts in the orthodox Dharma artifact refinement method.
Grade One and Grade Two offensive and defensive Dharma artifacts such as sabers, swords, shields and armors generally didn't have any spells. They only had some simple functions similar to spells.
Rank 1 and 2 support-type magic tools usually only had one or two types of spells.
Offensive and defensive Dharma artifacts needed to clash with other Dharma artifacts. The most important thing was their strength and not their special functions.
Auxiliary artifacts didn't need to clash head-on with other Dharma artifacts. They focused on special functions and had much lower requirements for the strength of the materials.
The Nine Spirits White Bone Wheel was more perverted. Not only could it be used for offense and defense like a flying sword, but it could also be used as an auxiliary artifact.
It could also release spells like an auxiliary magic tool. Moreover, it could release spells of nine different attributes.
This kind of multi-purpose Dharma artifact was very suitable for Wang Daoyuan who was a cultivator of all five attributes.
Although the heretical Dharma artifacts wouldn't have an advantage against the orthodox Dharma artifacts in battle.
However, in terms of ingenuity, the heretical Dharma artifacts were much better than the orthodox Dharma artifacts.
In the future, when he learned how to refine artifacts, he could use this idea to achieve the effect of multi-purpose artifacts.
This was especially true for large-scale Dharma artifacts such as flying boats. There was enough space to add various functions.
Bai Sheng had been a treasure-hunting cultivator for so many years. Apart from the heretical inheritance, there were many other things.
In his storage bag, there were more than 100,000 spirit stones.
In addition, there were four or five heretical Dharma artifacts and more than ten jade slips.
What was recorded in these jade slips were also Evil Dao techniques.
Including the spells of the four attributes used in battle, they were all mixed with Yin Qi, evil Qi, and so on. Orthodox cultivators couldn't use them at all.
Even if he didn't use these Dharma artifacts and spells, he could exchange them for spirit stones.
From Bai Sheng's memories, he knew that the source of the Xuanyin River was especially rich with Yin Qi and evil Qi. A large group of heretical cultivators had gathered there to cultivate.
Where there were people, there would naturally be business.
A few peak Foundation Establishment heretical cultivators took the lead and established a small market called the Xuanyin Market.
There, one could buy all kinds of spiritual items, including demon beasts that the Guiyan Market didn't dare to sell.
Orthodox cultivators were afraid of demon beasts taking revenge, but heretical cultivators didn't care.
Heretical cultivators had too many tricks up their sleeves. Any of their Dharma spells had additional damage, attacks on the soul, corrosion, poison, and so on.
It was easy to deal with demon beasts that were simple-minded and single-minded.
Apart from mutants like the Thunder Ape, other demon beasts didn't dare to go against heretical cultivators.
Bai Sheng's clone had a deep understanding of heretical cultivators. With his memories, it was much easier for Wang Daoyuan to blend in with the heretical cultivators.
Apart from that, he could also learn weapon refinement and accumulate experience for himself.
Bai Sheng's weapon refinement inheritance was from heretical cultivators. If he were to refine orthodox Dharma artifacts, he might not be able to unleash his original standards.
However, they were both on the path of weapon refinement and would reach the same goal.
He had the attainments of a middle-grade Rank-2 Weapon Refinement Master. If he switched to orthodox Dharma artifacts, his speed of improvement would be much faster than a layman.
