Opening the Sack
The Demon Concubine's Provocation
Inside the cave, Zhang Yan sat on a praying mat and breathed out spiritual breath from his mouth and nose. He trapped a shiny sleeve in the clear air and made it roll back and forth with the breath.
However, every few moments, the sleeve would struggle and twist, as if the True Consciousness inside was unwilling to bow down and admit defeat.
For the past few days, Zhang Yan had repeatedly refined this item and had already gotten rid of all the impurities inside. However, deep inside the sleeve, there was still a mass of Spiritual Essence. This was the accumulation of Xiao Han's blood and sweat. It seemed that he had used some secret technique. Even though this person had died long ago, he was still using the sleeve to defend himself. It was very stubborn and firm.
Zhang Yan had tried many gentle techniques before, but none of them could completely get rid of it. However, if he were to use a violent method, he was afraid that he would destroy the item inside the sleeve as well. That would not be worth it. Therefore, he decided to use the Water Refining Technique to slowly get rid of it.
After continuously refining for several days and nights, there was finally only a trace of essence left in the sleeve, and it had already reached the most crucial step.
The sleeve began to tremble under the pressure of his Spiritual Essence. Then, it began to violently struggle as if it was making a final struggle. Zhang Yan's eyes flashed. He knew that the time had come. He shouted and continuously breathed out a few mouthfuls of Spiritual Essence.
These few mouthfuls of Spiritual Essence were like the last straw that broke the camel's back. After a few sizzling sounds, the sleeve wailed and a wisp of green smoke came out. With a "pata" sound, it fell to the ground.
Zhang Yan laughed loudly and waved his sleeve to get rid of the filthy Spiritual Essence. With a wave of his hand, he took the sleeve into his hand.
There was a slight smile on his lips. After spending a lot of time and effort, he had finally completely refined this item today. He hoped that the item hidden inside would not disappoint him.
He adjusted his breathing for a moment and unhurriedly stretched out his hand. He shook open the lock and slowly undid the sleeve.
His mind went in to investigate and he couldn't help but feel refreshed. This item was worthy of being a Xuan Artifact. It was very different from the sleeve he used before.
This pouch was divided into three gates: Heaven, Earth, and Man. The items were placed according to different categories, and were not mixed together like the sleeve pouch he used.
He first took out the things from the Human Gate and placed them on the table.
After counting carefully, he found that there were more than three thousand high-quality Spiritual Shells, more than a hundred smooth and warm Sea Spirit Pearls, and a lot of Jade Talisman.
Other than that, the rest were some miscellaneous items, such as gold and silver utensils, robes, and headbands. There were many types of these items, and they were not rare items. Therefore, Zhang Yan glanced over them in a hurry, and with a roll of his sleeve, he put them away.
After leaving this place, he went to open the Earth Gate and poured out all the items hidden within. His eyes couldn't help but light up.
There were elixirs, spirit waters, animal bones, medicinal herbs, and rare zoysia grasses. They filled the table, big and small.
He looked around and reached out to take a bottle. After opening it, he put it in front of his nose and smelled it. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's actually the 'Life Marrow Great Virtue Ointment'. It's good stuff, but it's rare."
The Life Marrow Great Virtue Ointment was a top grade medicine. It could not only be used to connect broken limbs and regenerate flesh and bones. Even if one's limbs were crippled, as long as one took enough of the ointment within two hours, one's vitality could be stimulated, and broken limbs could be regrown.
He identified all the medicines one by one and found that they were all rare elixirs. The Xiao clan was indeed a big business. Just a junior disciple already had so many good things.
In the end, he picked up an inconspicuous porcelain bottle and smelled it. He was startled, and then he laughed, "With just this item, the few days' effort was not wasted."
There was only one elixir in the bottle, and it was called 'Five Heart Yang Restoration Pill'.
This pill was one of the thirty-six precious pills in the world. As long as one took one pill in advance under the tongue, even if the physical body was greatly damaged, it could still ensure that one would not die for a while.
Even if one was beheaded, as long as the body could be reattached in time, one's life could still be extended.
This pill was extremely precious, and the recipe had long been lost. As far as he knew, Zhou Chongju only had four of them.
If he sold this pill, it would not be too much to get a profound level weapon.
Zhang Yan thought to himself, 'Just the Earth Gate alone has such precious items. I wonder what's hidden in the Heaven Gate?'
He felt a little more anticipation in his heart. He put away the bottles and jars on the table and opened the Heavenly Gate's security lock.
As soon as he loosened the restraints of the restriction, several treasures and auspicious lights appeared, and he could not help but squint his eyes under the light.
He urged his mind and released one of the items. A black python flew out, and with a twist in the air, it turned into a six feet long flag.
He reached out and took it. He shook it, and there seemed to be the sound of waves in his ears. He sent a breath of spiritual Qi into it and refined it slightly. After a careful examination, he knew the origin of this item.
This flag was a spiritual weapon refined by the elders of the Qincang School. It was specially given to meritorious disciples. It was called 'Tri-Elements Mixed Water Flag'. When used, one only needed to shake it, and the waves could be divided and gathered. With this item in hand, going into the deep sea alone would be like walking on flat ground.
This magic weapon could not be used to fight enemies. Zhang Yan only played with it for a while before putting it away. He took out another item and casually flipped it over. It was actually another magic weapon given by the Qincang School.
This item was called 'Zhu Yuan Ying Xing Three Qi Palace Guard Flag'. It was a set of formation flags used by cultivators to protect themselves when they went out to travel.
This flag had a total of sixteen sides. As long as the formation was arranged, it could gather the vigorous and thick Qi of heaven and earth to resist external enemies.
Zhang Yan nodded slightly. This item was quite practical. In the future, it would come in handy when he traveled in the wilderness.
Just as he was about to continue to investigate, he felt that the overflowing Spiritual Qi in the cave residence was gradually weakening. Looking up, he found that the more than a hundred spirit shells that were originally surrounding him had already dimmed, and their bright surface was also gray and dull.
He waved his sleeves expressionlessly and swept these spirit shells aside. He took out hundreds of spirit shells from his sleeves and rearranged them beside him.
After all, the Xuanling Mountain under his feet was made by Tao Zhenren. Therefore, there was no spiritual vein. It only relied on the operation of the formation to extract spiritual vigor. However, most of the spiritual vigor was divided by Tao Zhenren's disciples and the demon kings who came to the island to watch the ceremony. There was very little spiritual vigor here.
This was also one of the reasons why Wei Lihua was previously dissatisfied with this cave residence arranged by Fu Hongyu.
However, when a cultivator traveled outside, if there was no suitable cave residence for cultivation, he could take out the spirit shell to absorb the spiritual Qi in it. He could still cultivate properly.
Usually, the spiritual Qi in a spirit shell was enough for a Ming Qi cultivator to use for three to five days. For Zhang Yan's level, seven or eight spirit shells were only enough for him to use for a day. However, he was rich, so he did not feel the pinch when using it.
At this moment, he heard a squeaking sound outside the cave. He could not help but smile. He kept his sleeves and said, "Fellow Daoist, please come in."
A white shadow flashed in front of the cave abode. A white-haired old ape was holding a jade plate with many fresh fruits and a bottle of fine wine on it. It walked in obediently like a human and placed the jade plate on the table. It cupped its hands and said, "Please enjoy, Fellow Daoist. I'll take my leave now."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly, and the old ape slowly retreated.
Zhang Yan looked down and shook his head with a smile. At his level of cultivation, he had already abstained from eating to prolong his life. He wanted to refuse, but the old ape said that this was an order from Fu Hongyu. If it did not treat the esteemed guest well, it would be punished, so he could not refuse.
At this moment, a rumbling sound came from afar. The jade plate on the table jumped along with it, but he did not seem to hear it.
These days, conveyance lights danced in the sky on the opposite mountain every day, and there were endless battles. However, he was focused on cultivating and did not pay attention to it.
He took out his sleeves again. There were only three treasures in the Heavenly Gate. He had already taken out the banners and formation flags, so there was only one item that he had not looked at yet.
He probed inside with his consciousness and discovered a white light lying quietly inside. He couldn't see what it was, so he activated his spiritual qi and released the white light. Unexpectedly, the white light suddenly let out a whistling sound and flew up, slashing at his body.
Zhang Yan had already seen clearly that it was only a spirit tool. It was just that it seemed to be possessed by the soul essence of some monster, so it did not listen to him.
He sneered and sat still. There was a clang, and the light only cut a white mark on his neck. Seeing that it could not do anything to Zhang Yan, the thing was also frightened, so it turned around and scuttled out of the cave residence.
Zhang Yan smiled faintly and shouted, "How can I let you leave!" He opened his sleeve and put away his sleeve pouch. Then, he leaped up and followed after Chu Li.
At this moment, outside the cave residence, there was a chariot that came on a cloud and landed on the top of the mountain. There were a dozen people standing on the chariot, a man and a woman. The man was handsome, but there was a hint of evil in his eyes. It was Senior Martial Brother Feng, who asked about Zhang Yan from Fu Hongyu.
The woman was a young married woman. Her hair was tied up high, and her skin was whiter than snow. She had a willowy waist, and her movements revealed a flirtatious charm.
The woman looked around with her beautiful eyes and said with a sweet voice, "Fellow Feng, was this the place you were talking about?"
Senior Martial Brother Feng smiled and said, "Lady Jade, what do you think of this place?"
Lady Jade said lazily, "It can be considered passable. That mountain is fighting and killing all day long, and it is really too noisy. This place is quiet, and it is barely livable."
Senior Martial Brother Feng looked ahead and pretended to be surprised. He said, "Eh, when I came here two days ago, I didn't see anyone living here. How did it become occupied in a flash of two days?"
Lady Jade glanced at Senior Martial Brother Feng and said lightly, "Just chase them away. There isn't even a cave residence with Spirit Qi. What kind of amazing person can live here?"
Senior Martial Brother Feng had a plan in his heart, but he deliberately said, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?"
Lady Jade snorted and said impatiently, "What are you afraid of? Even if the sky falls, I will bear it."
She pointed with her finger and pointed to a tall and sturdy demon cultivator behind her. She said, "Tong Bing, quickly chase this person away."
The demon cultivator said in a muffled voice, "Yes, Lady Jade."
He got off the carriage and walked towards the cave residence. Relying on the great background of the person behind him, he didn't report at the door and swaggered in. However, he had only taken a few steps when he saw a white light rush out. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Treasure!"
After letting out a cry, he recklessly reached out to grab it. When the streak of light saw that someone was blocking it, it let out a cry and stretched out its body. With a "chi" sound, it instantly cut the person in half.
The demon cultivator screamed and died on the spot. Outside the cave residence, Lady Jade's pretty face changed when she heard this. Then, she saw the white light fly out and her beautiful eyes lit up. She said happily, "Good treasure, I want it!"
However, as soon as his voice trailed off, a streak of light flew out and engulfed the streak of light.
Lady Jade was startled, and her cheeks instantly turned bright red. Her face was full of anger as she shouted, "Daoist, what kind of magic treasure is that? How can you take it for yourself? Hurry up and hand it over to this empress! "
