Staying In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 17: Can't Offend Women

Watching the departure of the Bone Flying Boat from the Demon Gate, Su Fan let out a sigh of relief.

Finally, that woman is gone.

Suddenly, a red light descended from the sky and entered his arm.

Su Fan rolled up the sleeve of his robe and saw a crimson ghost face tattoo on his arm.

What the hell...

He used his "Thunder Law Eye" to scan his body and furrowed his brows.

"This woman actually cursed him..."

Fortunately, through repeated examination with the "Thunder Law Eye," he didn't find anything wrong.

It should just be a mark for her to find him in the future.

Su Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

A woman's heart is truly malicious. I really can't offend women in the future.

Damn, she holds grudges.

But he didn't really care. After all, the Ghost King Sect is far away in the Qin Kingdom.

If I don't go, what can you do to me?

And this kind of secret curse won't stay on his body forever. It will slowly dissipate in a few years.

Su Fan found a clean room in the nearby slums. It seemed like no one had lived there for a long time.

The residents here should be Independent Cultivators who went to the Qin Kingdom.

Let's stay here temporarily. I definitely can't go back to that courtyard.

The demonic cultivators from the Ghost King Sect are causing trouble in the Chu Kingdom and even broke through the Little Sun Market. There must be their insiders here.

Although he doesn't need to leave the Shaoyang District, he still needs to assume a new identity.

After this calamity, at least twenty to thirty percent of the Independent Cultivators in the Shaoyang District have suffered losses.

It's not difficult to assume a new identity.

Su Fan lit a candle, found a place to sit cross-legged, and placed several storage bags in front of him.

He first picked up the storage bag of the zombie man. Since the other party was already dead, it was easy to open the storage bag.

This storage bag turned out to be a five-sided one, finally enough space.

If he had such a large storage bag earlier, he could have taken away the dozens of barrels of pickled vegetables and sauerkraut in the courtyard, as well as the radishes and turnips in the vegetable cellar.

He took out the contents of the storage bag, which wasn't much.

A pile of spirit stones, totaling more than five hundred and eighty, including two middle-grade spirit stones.

Twenty-something bottles of elixirs, including ten bottles of Corpse King Pills for strengthening the zombie's body, five bottles of Soul Refining Pills for strengthening the Soul Formation, and five bottles of Qi and Blood Pills for enhancing Qi and Blood. The rest were miscellaneous pills from the Demon Gate.

Corpse King Pills are useless and can't be sold, so he'll keep them for later.

Soul Refining Pills and Qi and Blood Pills are extraordinary. These two types of elixirs are in high demand but in short supply on the market.

Good things should be kept for oneself.

A stack of talismans, including more than ten Corpse Sealing Talismans and six Spirit Locking Talismans, which are specialized talismans for the zombie path and not useful to outsiders.

There are also eight "Yin Evil Body Protection Talismans," which are Su Fan's favorite High Grade body protection talismans.

Two Law Weapons, one is the "Golden Crow Hammer" used by the demonic cultivator Su Fan to attack, and the other is the protective Law Weapon "Ghost Face Shield".

Both are typical Law Weapons of the demonic sect and are currently not to be seen in the light.

However, this "Golden Crow Hammer" is not bad. It is over a foot long and completely black. It is good for smashing people.

Among the dozen or so ancient books, only one is a cultivation technique called "Heavenly Corpse Secret Compilation".

As the name suggests, "Heavenly Corpse Secret Compilation" comes from the inheritance of the demonic sect's zombie path, covering almost all knowledge and spells related to corpse refinement, corpse control, and corpse cultivation.

There is also another book called "Mangshan Scroll".

It records some secret techniques, inherited from the Mangshan cult.

The Mangshan cult was once prevalent in the southern barbarian lands, and its disciples were mostly violent and ruthless, with mysterious and unpredictable actions.

Because they often caused trouble in the mortal world and committed many heinous acts that angered both humans and immortals.

They have always been intolerable by various Earth Immortal sects, and even the demonic sect has eradicated them several times, so the ancestral home of the Mangshan cult has long been destroyed for many years.

This book records a total of a dozen or so secret techniques, most of which are evil arts that even the demonic sect despises.

But a few of these secret techniques take a different approach and are quite practical.

Among them, there is a secret technique called "Void Spirit Law" that Su Fan is particularly interested in.

It involves extracting the soul from a freshly dead person and using secret techniques to replace one's own aura.

This could be useful.

He has been marked by a female cultivator of the demonic sect, and with the mysterious means of the demonic sect, if there are people from the Ghost King Sect in the market, they might come looking for him one day.

Satisfied, Su Fan put the items into his storage bag and then picked up a rectangular wooden box from the side.

This is a zombie cultivation coffin of the demonic sect, a little over two inches long and one inch wide, completely black like ink, emitting a chilling aura.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Su Fan saw two broken bronze-armored zombies inside the coffin.

The coffin is filled with dense Yin energy, and the broken zombies will slowly recover.

Su Fan hesitated a bit. Should he learn this "Heavenly Corpse Secret Compilation"? The two zombies would be good helpers.

Where else can he find such good meat shields?

They can block bullets when charging forward and cover his retreat when needed.

If their arms or legs are broken, just throw them into the coffin, and after a month, they will come out as tough men.

Even if one day they die, he won't feel heartbroken, he can just raise another one.

But after all, he is in the territory of the immortal sect. Once the zombies are exposed, he can only go to the demonic sect.

As for demonic cultivation and such, Su Fan doesn't really care.

People have good and evil, and laws have no distinction between right and wrong.

If using evil methods to help others is considered right, then using righteous methods to harm others should be considered evil.

The distinction between right and wrong lies only with people, not with cultivation techniques.

Su Fan's physical body has been transformed by demonic cultivation, but he hasn't seen him become more evil because of it.

Let's see, we'll talk about it later.

He took out another storage bag belonging to a demonic cultivator, and he was full of anticipation for this bag.

Although this guy is just a small follower in the demonic sect, he also participated in the looting of the market.

He should at least get some good things.

The storage bag has two sizes, and when poured out, it forms a large pile of things.

There aren't many spirit stones, only a little over a hundred, but there are plenty of other things.

There are five Law Weapons alone, including a Middle Grade flying sword Law Weapon. They should all have been looted from the market.

Su Fan's spiritual consciousness intensity is already equivalent to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, so there's no problem controlling Law Weapons.

The power of Law Weapons is indeed strong, but based on his experience from several battles, it is not as satisfactory as expected.

During the mid-stage of Qi Refining, a cultivator can only control one Law Weapon.

When controlling a Law Weapon, one must concentrate fully, and even using talismans is a bit difficult.

Therefore, before breaking through the mid-stage of Qi Refining, Su Fan's battles mainly rely on close combat, with talismans and Law Weapons as supplements.

Of these Law Weapons, only one Middle Grade long sword Law Weapon will be kept.

The rest will be exchanged for spirit stones to purchase more high-quality talismans.

It's only him, if it were any other cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining, who would dare to play like him?

In addition, the demonic cultivator himself also has two Law Weapons.

One is a defensive Law Weapon called "Yin Luo Umbrella," which the demonic cultivator used to defend against the sneak attack of the "Ice Needle Arrow Rain Talisman."

The other one is the "Evil Ghost Banner," which seals dozens of Yin Soul Ghosts. Before he could take it out, Su Fan beheaded him.

In addition to Law Weapons, there are also dozens of bottles of pills.

Fifteen bottles of "Yellow Spirit Pills" for the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and eight bottles of "Peyuan Pills" for the late stage of Qi Refining.

These pills, like those Law Weapons, are probably his share of the spoils.

The remaining ones are auxiliary pills such as "Rejuvenation Pills," "Qi Replenishing Pills," and "Detoxification Pills."

The only regret is that there isn't a single bottle of pills that can be used in the early stage of Qi Refining.

There are a dozen talismans, all of which are exclusive to the demonic sect, such as "Evil Ghost Talisman," "Ghost Roar Talisman," "Bone Soul Talisman," and "Profound Transcendence Talisman."

Not to mention using these talismans, he doesn't even dare to sell them.

In addition, there are more than ten books, two of which are good.

One is called "Ghost Dao True Explanation," which is the basic inheritance of the Ghost Dao cultivators in the demonic sect.

The other one is an ancient book called "Ghost Forging Divine Art," which is a rare cultivation method for refining the soul.

It seems that this demonic cultivator's cultivation direction should be primarily focused on Ghost Dao, with soul cultivation as a secondary practice.

Apart from these things, the rest are miscellaneous items, most of which have the characteristics of the demonic sect and are temporarily useless.

Wait a minute...

Su Fan took out a box from the pile of miscellaneous items, carefully opened it, and inside was an inconspicuous gray Dao robe.

This is...

Su Fan believes he didn't see it wrong. This is a High Grade robe.

This thing is worth a lot of spirit stones, even disciples of the sect might not be able to afford it.

It must have been secretly hidden by this demonic cultivator, and now Su Fan is benefiting from it.

This robe is called the "Pure Treasure Robe," made from refined ice crystal silkworm silk, and it is also engraved with six miniature arrays.

They are respectively the "Water and Fire Invulnerability," "Four Seasons Like Spring," "Untouched by Dust," "Gathering Spiritual Qi," "Size Manipulation," and "Golden Light Protection" arrays.

Especially the "Golden Light Protection" array, it can be passively triggered three times a day.

The value of this robe is simply immeasurable.

In any case, Su Fan would never exchange it for spirit stones. Such a good thing, if he doesn't use it himself, it would be against the natural order.

Apart from two demonic cultivators, the rest of those Demonic Cultivators are quite shabby.

However, the Law Weapons of the two Demonic Cultivators he killed in the courtyard surprised him.

One of them is called "Decaying Bone Sand," specialized in breaking the spiritual energy shield of immortal sect cultivators, and it can also corrode Law Weapons.

Su Fan has experienced it before, the Diamond Talisman was instantly broken, very sinister and vicious.

The "Decaying Bone Sand" is packed in jars the size of a fist, and there are currently seven jars left.

Su Fan likes this kind of sinister stuff the most, it always achieves unexpected effects.

Another item is a black whip called "Ghost Rope," made from the hair of a woman who was tortured to near death.

The "Ghost Rope" is as thick as a baby's arm and extends about three zhang when unfolded. How much hair from women must have been used for this.

When holding the whip, a gloomy aura fills the air, and a cold chill comes rushing in.

With a gentle shake, boundless resentment is emitted.

It's as if one can hear the screams of countless unjust souls, struggling to break free.

This thing is so damn evil.

Looking at the gains from this time, apart from a few Law Weapons and pills, there are some spirit stones that can be cashed in the short term.

The other things mostly come from the demonic sects, so they can't be relied upon for now.

After careful consideration, Su Fan decided to study the "Heavenly Corpse Secret Compilation," not everything needs to be learned, but basic corpse control techniques must be mastered.

The two copper-armored zombies in the corpse coffin should also be utilized.

After all, he's not going to harm anyone, just giving himself another trump card for protection.

In addition, he will also spend some time looking at the "True Explanation of Ghost Dao." There's no harm in knowing more about the demonic sects.

The "Ghost Refining Technique" must be cultivated, even though it is a demonic sect's soul refining inheritance, the techniques for soul refining are too few.

Specialized soul refining techniques are rarely seen, even in immortal sects and demonic sects, usually only elite disciples have the opportunity to read and learn them.

For bottom-tier independent cultivators like Su Fan, where can they go to obtain such sect secret techniques?

Now that he has cultivated the demonic sect's body refining technique, if he practices a few more demonic sect spells in the future, would he be considered a cultivator of both the immortal and demonic paths?

For some reason, Su Fan always has a feeling that the demonic sect will not give up easily.

In this conflict between the immortal and demonic paths, the Chu Kingdom immortal sect has performed so poorly, which has also given the demonic sect an opportunity.

At any time, the demonic sect may make a comeback.

Thinking of this, Su Fan sat cross-legged.

The most urgent task is to break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining as soon as possible.

He took out a Qi Pill, thought for a moment, and put it away, then took out a yellow Spirit Pill.

He is now a Thunder Dao Body, not only has his physical body been transformed, but his cultivation aptitude has also been greatly improved.

Let's try the yellow Spirit Pill, there shouldn't be any problems.

Su Fan stuffed the yellow Spirit Pill into his mouth, then began to operate the Primordial Origin Technique.

After successfully completing the technique, he opened his eyes, his face full of surprise.

Compared to the effect of the Qi Pill, the effect of the yellow Spirit Pill is not even a little bit worse.
