The Blood Corpse Master had a total of five disciples, all of whom were Qi Refining cultivators. Jie Shi and Song Qing were the disciples that the Blood Corpse Master had taken in two years ago. Among the five disciples, they were the fourth and the youngest respectively. At the same time, they were also the two with the lowest cultivation.
However, it was easy to guess how high their status would be if they were assigned to do the hard work of moving corpses.
According to Jie Shi, after Blood Corpse Master went out for a few days, their Qi Refinement Level 8 Senior Brother also left and he was not in the Corpse Refining Cave.
Alright, it was fine if the boss was not here, but the elite monsters also left.
Lu Qingshan raised his eyebrows and felt very satisfied.
In other words, there were only four Qi Refinement Cultivators left in the Corpse Refining Cave. The two weakest ones were already taken down by him.
As for the other two Qi Refinement Cultivators, one was at Qi Refinement Level 6 and the other was at Qi Refinement Level 4. They were all Spell Cultivators.
.....
"Do you know what villains usually die of?" Jie Shi, who had been very cooperative in answering Lu Qingshan's questions, suddenly opened his mouth and his voice revealed a hint of malice, "Villains usually die of talking too much!"
A jade pendant hanging under Jie Shi's clothes suddenly flashed with a brownish-yellow light. The light instantly spread all over Jie Shi's body and one could see that Jie Shi's exposed skin was actually covered with a layer of greyish-yellow soil.

A very practical defensive spell.
The dagger that Lu Qingshan seized from Song Qing was not a magic tool used by cultivators. It was just a very ordinary weapon from the secular world. After Jie Shi used the Stone Skin Technique, the dagger was unable to break through Jie Shi's skin.
"Do you know why I answered your questions so cooperatively and told you everything about the Corpse Refining Cave?" Jie Shi looked at Lu Qingshan proudly and laughed, "You don't really think that I'm afraid of death and begging for mercy right? I'm not stupid. Once you've figured out what you want to know, how could you let me go? The only reason I did this was to stall for time and wait for the Earth Spirit Pendant to recharge.
If I hadn't used the Earth Spirit Pendant's Stone Skin Technique when I was fighting with Senior Brother two days ago, do you think you could threaten me?
I have to say, as a mortal, it's very impressive that you could force me to this point. Unfortunately, you were too greedy and didn't kill me immediately. How could you possibly imagine the methods of cultivators? "
Lu Qingshan looked at the complacent Jie Shi with a faint smile and did not say anything.
When Jie Shi saw that Lu Qingshan did not reply, his eyelids twitched. He vaguely felt that something was wrong.
A cold light flashed, mixed with a golden light. Lu Qingshan's dagger, which had been close to Jie Shi's neck from the beginning to the end, instantly slid across his throat.
A huge wound appeared on Jie Shi's neck, and bright red blood flowed out.
One slash across the throat!
Jie Shi covered his neck that was constantly bleeding. He looked at the talisman that had appeared in Lu Qingshan's left hand and was gradually turning into ashes because of the use. His face was filled with disbelief as he fell straight back like a pile of mud. He fell to the ground and no longer made any sound.

"You've launched a fatal attack. You've dealt 11 points of damage to Jie Shi (LV 3)!"
"Target dead. You've killed Jie Shi (LV 3). You've gained 30 experience points!"
.....
Looking at Jie Shi who fell to the ground, Lu Qingshan nodded and said to himself, "Indeed, villains usually die because they talk too much."
【Sharp Blade Talisman】 came from Song Qing's storage bag. The moment Lu Qingshan became a cultivator, he quickly checked Song Qing's storage bag. As expected of a Talisman Master, Song Qing's storage bag was filled with dozens of talismans.
The moment Jie Shi used his Stone Skin Technique, Lu Qingshan quietly took out the 【Sharp Blade Talisman】 from Song Qing's storage bag and quickly used the Sharp Blade Technique on his short blade.
The complacent Jie Shi obviously didn't notice this detail. In his heart, he always thought that Lu Qingshan was a mortal. He also didn't think that Lu Qingshan could open Song Qing's storage bag.
After searching Jie Shi's body for a while (in the process of searching), he quickly found a milky white jade pendant on his waist.
【Earth Spirit Pendant】
Grade: Low Grade Mortal Weapon
Effect: Automatically absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to recharge. Every three days, it can activate a spell: Stone Skin Technique. (Time to recharge: 72 hours)
Note: Maybe it can save your life at a critical moment, or maybe it can't.
In 《Nine Heavens》, the grades of magic tools were the same as cultivation methods. Mortal, Spirit, Heaven, and Dao. What was different from cultivation methods was that each grade of magic tool could be further divided into low grade, middle grade, high grade, and top grade.
The Earth Spirit Pendant was the lowest grade magic tool, but it was at least a magic tool. Lu Qingshan satisfactorily hung the Earth Spirit Pendant on his waist. Next was his favorite time to collect his spoils of war.
The wealth of the two low-level cultivators was not that great. Lu Qingshan carefully checked their storage pouches and found that the harvest was:
【Qi Drawing Technique】 cultivation method jade slip x2!
【First Grade Spell Talisman Encyclopedia】 jade slip x1!
【First Grade Five Element Spell】 jade slip x2!
First Grade Spirit Stones x20!
Two bottles of 【Fasting Pills】, 12 pills in each bottle!
Various first grade talismans!
There were also clothes and other miscellaneous items.
Spirit stones were the currency of cultivators. It was a stone filled with spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It had many uses. For example, absorbing spiritual energy from spirit stones to cultivate could increase the speed of a cultivator's cultivation. Setting up formations also required spirit stones. During battle, after using a high grade spell and losing a lot of spiritual energy, one could absorb the spiritual energy from spirit stones to quickly replenish the spiritual energy in one's body. This would greatly increase one's endurance in battle. There were many other uses.
Spirit stones were divided into nine grades according to the amount of spiritual energy they contained and the degree of purity, which corresponded to the nine stages of a cultivator's cultivation. Each piece of high-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for ten pieces of low-grade spirit stones (1 third-grade spirit stone = 10 second-grade spirit stones = 100 first-grade spirit stones). This was how it was calculated.
In reality, the nine grades were very common in the 《Nine Heavens》. For example, the cultivator's spell levels, or the level of their secondary professions, talismans, and pills were all divided into nine grades.
【Fasting Pill】 was a first grade pill. It was specially made for cultivators who couldn't fasting. The effect was that every time they ate one pill, they would be able to go without food for a month. A bottle of 12 pills was exactly the amount they needed for a year.
Unfortunately, he didn't find any sword techniques. However, he wasn't surprised. If he could find any sword techniques in the storage bags of two low level spell cultivators, that would be strange.
The next step was to deal with the two remaining cultivators in the corpse refining cave and then leave this place.
Lu Qingshan rubbed his chin with his fingers as he thought.
He had to move quickly. Otherwise, if he delayed for a bit and bumped into 【Daoist Blood Corpse】 returning, he would really want to cry but have no tears.
(PS: I received the contract too late. The contract status should change after a while.)
