Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 30 Inventory
Li Zhen arrived at the Yiqian Hall. Today's class was taught by Director Zhang.

Director Zhang did not subdue him with one sword, but instead fought with him.

If the battle could really be resolved with just one or two swords, Li Zhen would not be able to learn anything from Director Zhang.

"Li Zhen, you have to concentrate when practicing. You might as well take a rest in your current state!" Director Zhang pushed Li Zhen back with a sword and said in a deep voice.

Li Zhen was a little distracted during the battle. Although Li Zhen was still focused, even just the slightest distraction would be noticed by Director Zhang.

"Sorry, it's my fault!" Li Zhen apologized with his head down.

He had just done something big, so it was no surprise that he was a little unable to concentrate.

After Director Zhang warned him, he put all his energy into fighting Director Zhang, but Director Zhang didn't say anything to him.

While he was taking classes at the Yijian Hall, a comprehensive investigation had already been launched in the Ghost Market.

Recently, all monks who have approached the Ghost Market have been included in the scope of investigation, and the forces behind the Ghost Market have exerted terrifying power.

In just a few hours, some suspicious monks were screened out.

Of course, Li Zhen is not included in this. Li Zhen’s age of twelve is his biggest cover.

In addition, investigators do not believe that the person who stole the spiritual objects would have done it during the day. They speculate that a monk committed the theft in the early morning after the ghost market ended yesterday when the night had not yet dissipated.

Moreover, the thieving monks were not just one person, but an organization, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the thefts from so many houses at the same time.

Another point, which is the reason for excluding low-level cultivators including Li Zhen, is that the cultivator who committed the theft has the strength of at least the late stage of Qi training.

Only those who have reached the late stage of Qi training can steal the spiritual objects inside without destroying the safe on site.

A cultivator in the late stage of Qi training is able to extend his spiritual consciousness out of the body without the use of magical tools. With the coordination of technology and spiritual consciousness, a semi-mechanical device like a safe can be opened without anyone noticing.

Of course, there were many strange things during the investigation. There was no trace left at the scene, and even the monks who were resting several meters away did not feel anything. Even a monk in the late stage of Qi training could not do this.

The investigation of the Ghost Market also encountered trouble. Although some suspicious cultivators had been identified, there were too many foreign cultivators in Yunxi County recently, and no one could guarantee that there were any powerful outsiders who took action in this case.

Li Zhen returned home, practiced and had dinner as usual, showing no difference from usual.

When he returned to the bedroom, he immediately asked Mei Yun to turn on the TV and watch the day's news.

What happened in Ghost Market was not in the news, as if it had never happened.

Li Zhen was not surprised, as this was consistent with his guess.

What is a ghost market? It is an industry that is not recognized by the government. If something happens in the ghost market, people still go to the Public Security Bureau or other official organizations, then there is no need to operate the ghost market.

The reason why Li Zhen chose the Ghost Market is that no matter how big the losses are, it is not illegal.

He did not want to violate the laws of the fairyland. Given his situation, he would surely be able to achieve great things in the future, so there was no need to create hidden dangers for the future.

In fact, if he really didn't care, he could secretly collect all the spiritual objects in the physical monks' shops.

But he would not do that. If he really did so, he would be investigated by the Fairyland Security Bureau.

Regardless of whether the investigation by the Public Security Bureau has any results, it will be recorded in the case file. Once he reveals his ability to collect spiritual objects in the future, these cases will immediately be counted on him.

Given the strength of the Immortal Kingdom in combating crime, unless he was strong enough to ignore the laws of the Immortal Kingdom, all the crimes he had committed in the past would become big troubles for him.

He did not check the harvest in the Dragon Heart Space for the entire day. He was worried that there would be something unusual if he checked the harvest, so he decided to wait until night when no one was around.

There are a lot of new items in the Dragon Heart Space.

When he collected them, he didn't care what they were. As long as they were not individual spiritual objects, he would collect them into the Dragon Heart Space.

After using the Dragon Heart Space for so long, he also gained some experience in collecting spiritual objects in the Dragon Heart Space.

Unless he touched the spiritual objects that had been sacrificed, he could not directly collect them into the Dragon Heart Space. Li Zhen separated all the spiritual objects into categories: materials, instruments, talismans, elixirs, and sundries.

There are six spiritual materials in the materials category, four of which are of low grade first level, one is of medium grade first level, and the last one is quite special, which is a high grade first level spiritual material with thunder attribute.

He was very surprised to see a first-grade top-grade spiritual material. There were only a limited number of first-grade top-grade spiritual objects in Yunxi County, mainly because there were only so many cultivators in the late stage of Qi training, and the consumption level was low.

What he didn't know was that because the annual auction brought a large number of cultivators to Yunxi County, the forces behind the Ghost Market spent a lot of effort to transfer some higher-quality resources from other places in order to take the opportunity to make a fortune.

This top-grade thunder-attributed spiritual material was one of them. Who would have thought that it was stolen by him before it was sold.

If a magic weapon is refined using a first-grade, superior-quality spiritual material with thunder attributes, the finished product will at least be a first-grade, superior-quality magic weapon. Adding to this characteristic of thunder attributes, the power of this magic weapon will definitely not be weak.

But unfortunately, let alone asking someone to use first-grade top-grade thunder-attribute spiritual material to refine a magical weapon, he didn't even dare to go to the cultivator's network to identify the name of this first-grade top-grade thunder-attribute spiritual material.

Because if he dares to reveal any clues, he might be targeted immediately.

Not only these spiritual materials, but the rest of the spiritual objects cannot be taken out of the Dragon Heart Space. The threat brought by the feud with the Ghost Market is too great.

There are eleven magical instruments, all of which are mass-produced second-hand instruments, with the quality of first-grade lower and first-grade middle. Since these instruments cannot be exposed, Li Zhen is too lazy to check them more.

There are the largest number of talismans, including fireball talisman, diamond talisman, ice arrow talisman, earth thorn talisman, entanglement talisman, and light body talisman, with varying numbers.

When Li Zhen saw these talismans, he really wanted to put them into the talisman folder for future use.

But he didn't want to take the gamble. These talismans from the Ghost Market were most likely drawn by the talisman makers in the Ghost Market and could be recognized.

At present, his strength is very weak and he cannot fight against the Ghost Market at all. It is better to be honest and not lose the big picture for the small.

The number of elixirs was limited and did not meet Li Zhen’s psychological expectations.

Among the pills, there are three medium-grade healing pills, six medium-grade soul-restoring pills, and one medium-grade 100-jie pill. Judging from the variety and quantity of the pills, the pills Li Zhen obtained should be for the cultivator himself, and not for sale.

And he obviously did not find any monks selling elixirs in the ghost market, so his harvest of elixirs this time was the least.

Li Zhen sighed helplessly. What he wanted most was elixirs. As long as he had enough elixirs for cultivation, he could quickly improve his realm.

Finally, he looked at the miscellaneous items. Most of them were spiritual objects whose uses he could not identify, but there was one spiritual object among them that he recognized.

It was a contract written on golden spiritual paper. This kind of contract was a way to sign a contract with a monster.

When a demon beast signs a contract and becomes a cultivator's partner, it can be called a spirit beast and is also the cultivator's most loyal assistant.

Of course, it doesn't mean that you can forcibly sign a contract with a monster and take it as your own just by relying on the contract.

If it were really that simple, human monks would have had a spiritual beast each.

In fact, no matter which method you use, signing a contract with a monster requires luck, and the one with the best chance of success is to sign a contract with a newborn monster.

But it is not so easy to encounter a newborn monster. Any kind of monster will protect it. Once a newborn monster has passed the first few days after birth, it is no longer called a newborn monster, but a young monster. At that time, the difficulty of making a contract with it will increase many times.

In other words, if you want to contract a newborn monster, you need to do it within the first few days after the monster is born.

But no matter what, the value of a contract is extremely high. There is no public way to sell it in Yunxi County, but it may appear at an auction.

Li Zhen thought for a moment, and let the Dragon Heart Space swallow all the materials, magic tools and sundries except the contract.

Anyway, these spiritual objects cannot be seen in the light, so it is better to use them to improve one's own spiritual talents.

This is also the reason why he is willing to take great risks and steal so many spiritual objects from the ghost market.

The Dragon Heart Space had never swallowed so many spiritual objects at once. One by one, the spiritual objects turned into colorful lights and rose up. The essence contained within was absorbed by the Dragon Heart Space.
