Starting From A Fisherman To Cultivate Immortality And Live Forever

Chapter 26: Even if there is awareness in the underworld, there is no need to specially thank me!

Su Ping arrived later but appeared behind the black mist.

As the air around them inevitably fluctuated.

The black mist suddenly stopped outside the window, as if sensing something, and the blurry face attempted to turn around.

However!

Su Ping was already well-versed in the practical combat techniques of the Martial Master.

No nonsense, no wasting time.

As soon as he caught up to the black mist, he threw out six Thunderfire Beads with both hands!

The face under the black mist only managed to turn halfway...

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Thunderfire Beads exploded on it!

It seemed that Su Ping was afraid that the power of the Thunderfire Beads would be weakened by the black mist and not be able to deliver a fatal blow.

When he threw them, Su Ping had already drawn out the Scarlet Flame Wooden Sword and swung a full-force attack enhanced by the fourth layer of Qi Refining!

A sword light descended from the sky, cutting through almost half of the night sky, stunning the patrol teams and the city lord who couldn't sleep and was drinking with his wife in a high-rise building.

The city lord widened his eyes and watched the sharp sword light, trembling as he put down his wine bottle.

"Is the Immortal Master at the third layer of Qi Refining already this strong? This sword strike would have at least required the mid-stage of Qi Refining in the past!"

"Or did the Inspector-General break through the bottleneck in the Golden Sparrow City?"

In the backyard, outside the side room.

With the help of the Spirit Mouse's perception, Su Ping was sure that the black mist had disappeared, and then he slowly landed.

But he didn't approach immediately, instead, he urged Little Gray to jump up and check.

Under the explosion dust, the black mist had already dispersed, revealing a broken and barely recognizable small old man's corpse.

Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that these low-level cultivators couldn't withstand the power of the Thunderfire Beads!

However, he also faintly felt a sense of astonishment.

As the black mist dissipated, Little Gray, who had approached, could see that there seemed to be something hidden in the broken old man's body.

At the same time, there was something placed on his chest, could it be a storage bag?

Thinking of this, Su Ping was once again certain that this guy was truly dead.

Su Ping reached out and grabbed the corpse, then looked at the crowd who had rushed out of the door due to the loud noise.

"A mere evil cultivator came to cause trouble and was killed by me on the way."

"I will check to see if there are any abnormalities on the other party, all of you go back to sleep and remember not to go out!"

With the imposing manner of killing the evil cultivator and the loud noise just now, Su Ping's words became more convincing, causing those who were just watching the excitement to quickly hide back into the side room.

Then, Su Ping ignored the guards from the city lord's mansion who had rushed over and carried the corpse back to the quiet room.

Inside the quiet room.

Su Ping first sat down and restored the mana consumed by that sword strike.

Then he looked at the corpse.

This was the first time he, as a cultivator, had touched a corpse.

There was no other way, Su Ping's cultivation was too low in the previous twenty years, and as an early-stage Qi Refining cultivator, he didn't have the confidence to accept combat missions at the Hall of Merit.

First, he felt around and found the storage bag. Hmm... it was the same model as his own.

So, he could skip the process of cracking it.

This kind of storage bag was just like a wallet, anyone who got their hands on it could open it.

"Just two spirit stones? Even poorer than me!"

"Hmm? The Qi Refining volume of the Essential Cultivation Series?"

Su Ping took out a wooden box and looked at the surprised cover on the box.

This was one of the best-selling books in the Immortal Sect's market.

It was just a bit expensive, so Su Ping didn't want to buy it.

Moreover, relying on books rather than jade slips for learning had lower efficiency and higher difficulty, requiring a higher talent threshold.

After opening the wooden box, Su Ping saw the scrolls inside:

"Common Questions and Answers from the Early to Late Stage of Qi Refining."

"Self-Sufficiency in Clothing and Food: The Chapter of Talismans"

"How to Identify Common Spiritual Medicines and Spiritual Objects"

"Self-Sufficiency in Clothing and Food: The Chapter of Cultivating Equipment"

Su Ping looked at these four books, and after a moment of surprise, he suddenly reexamined the corpse.

"There's something wrong with the identity of this corpse!"

"Evil cultivators among the scattered cultivators can't possibly be so wealthy!"

Although Su Ping's words were painful, they were the reality of this realm.

Those with good spiritual roots would generally join immortal sects, and the stragglers would be picked up by various cultivation families.

As for those who could only be scattered cultivators, they each had their own flaws and hardships.

Their cultivation was only at the Qi Refining first or second level, and they were being squeezed to their limits.

Even if they became evil cultivators, they still couldn't earn enough spirit stones to buy these books!

"So, the truth is revealed!"

"This person is most likely an outer disciple like me!"

"I just don't know what happened to him, causing him to end up like this and attempt to ambush those qualified disciples!"

Su Ping's eyes involuntarily looked at this person's wrists.

Well, this person's forearms were already gone, so there was no way to see the sect mark.

Su Ping continued to search and found a jade slip hidden deep within this person.

This jade slip was wrapped in a faint black aura that could only be seen by the vision of a spiritual mouse.

This made Su Ping wary, so he didn't hesitate to put it back into the newly acquired storage bag.

For the time being, Su Ping wouldn't have any thoughts about this jade slip.

Then, Su Ping sighed and made a gesture of respect with his hands towards the corpse.

"I don't know who you are or why you ended up like this."

"In consideration of the possibility that we were fellow disciples, I will recite a death spell for you!"

As Su Ping quietly recited the spell.

Little White obediently took out a bottle of Darkfire Potion as instructed, opened it, and poured the liquid onto the corpse.

Then, with a "pu" sound, it ignited!

The high-temperature flames that could melt steel instantly turned this corpse into charcoal, and finally into a small pile of non-flammable material.

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Friend, now you don't have to worry about your body being used for evil purposes."

"No one will know that you were once an evil cultivator."

"This can also be considered my gratitude for receiving the books from you. If you have knowledge in the afterlife, there's no need to thank me specially."

Su Ping was quite satisfied with the results of this action. After bidding farewell to the unknown fellow, he opened the books and started reading.

Unlike reading miscellaneous books and mortal martial arts, books related to cultivation required one to read each character and understand them.

Because the words on the scrolls were not ordinary text, but a kind of magical text.

Each character, when read slowly, would form a vivid comic strip in the reader's mind.

However, if one looked at it for too long, it would consume mental energy. Normal Qi Refining cultivators in the early stage couldn't read for long and would need to rest and adjust their state.

This was also one of the reasons why it couldn't compare to jade slips.

However, Su Ping chose to directly rely on external forces for help!

Life spiritual medicine in the left hand, mana spiritual medicine in the right hand.

Exhausted mental energy and unable to continue reading? That didn't exist. With Su Ping's current cultivation at the fourth level of Qi Refining, even if he was completely drained, he only needed a drop of spiritual medicine to fully revive!

He could also use the duration of the effect to read with full efficiency!

"I can read ten times faster than others."

"But this talent..."

"There's always a feeling that my mind understands, but my hands are protesting that I don't understand."

"However, the content of the Qi Refining chapter is still within the range of my comprehension. If I read it multiple times and try again later, maybe I can learn a few skills and achieve self-sufficiency in clothing and food!"
