Chapter 4: Red Lotus Karma Fire Sutra and Growing Instruments

He took out the things that were close to his body from his arms one by one.

Thirteen spirit stones, eight ungraded spirit talismans, five first-order low-grade spirit talismans, and a storage bag.

Lu Yan reached out and picked up the storage bag and a spirit stone, and tried to open the storage bag according to the method circulated in the Bamboo Forest Market.

A little bit of weak spiritual power was guided into the storage bag, and Lu Yan suddenly felt the gold-woven bag in his hand loosen, and the tightened opening on it could be easily opened.

Lu Yan quickly poured out all the contents of the storage bag. When a large pile of things was placed in front of him, Lu Yan had only one thought.

Sent!

Hundreds of spirit stones were piled up into a small hill, and there were dozens of neatly drawn first-grade low-quality spirit talismans, and even five first-grade mid-quality ones and one first-grade high-quality one.

The value of these things alone is more than three hundred spirit stones.

In addition, Lu Yan also found a palm-length jade sword, two books, and a bottle of elixir in the storage bag.

Lu Yan only took a glance at the small jade sword and confirmed that it was a genuine magical flying sword, but he didn't know whether it was of low or medium grade.

However, the price of a magical weapon that can be called a flying sword is far higher than that of other magical weapons. Even a low-grade one requires at least nearly a hundred spirit stones.

There were no words on the pill in the porcelain bottle. Lu Yan had never come into contact with an elixir, so naturally he had no idea of ​​the pill's origin.

But these are not the main points. What really surprised Lu Yan were the two books in the storage bag.

The names of the books are "Red Lotus Karma Fire Sutra" and "Secret Records of Magical Instruments".

After a quick look through it, I found that "The Secret Records of Magical Instruments" contains the methods of refining instruments such as Soul Banners, Bone Bells, and Xuanyin Coffins. It clearly records the refining formations and materials.

This kind of magical weapon usually requires the sacrifice of a large number of living beings to be refined. Even though Lu Yan is not morally clean, the content of the weapon made him frown.

This book "Secret Records of Magical Instruments" should have come from the magic monk behind Manager Chu.

As for the other book "Red Lotus Karma Fire Sutra", it is the practice method that Lu Yan needs most now!

In fact, the grade of this technique is not low. It is a top-grade magic practice technique. It kills all things and transforms one's own karma into red lotus fire. It is unparalleled in attack and is far superior to the common "Changchun Gong".

The only pity is that "Red Lotus Karma Fire Sutra" only contains the part about Qi training period, and there is no subsequent method.

But to Lu Yan, it doesn't matter what the devilish path is or whether it only has the Qi training stage part. The most important thing is that this technique can help him step into the world of cultivating immortals.

Even if it is just the first level of Qi training, it is a completely different world.

Most of the things in the storage bag can only be used after advancing to the Qi training stage and condensing magic power.

Resisting the urge to start practicing here, Lu Yan stuffed most of the things back into the storage bag, leaving only the gradeless talisman for self-protection and a few spirit stones.

"These things definitely come from shady places!"

After putting the things away, Lu Yan made this comment.

As a clerk in Lingfufang, Lu Yan was solely responsible for the daily sorting, selling and accounting of goods. He was very clear about the financial status of the shopkeeper Chu.

Even though Ling Fu Fang occupies a shop space in Zhulinfang Market, its actual income is not high. The biggest problem is that the talisman maker Chu is a complete fake.

Shopkeeper Chu's success rate in drawing first-grade low-grade talismans was less than 10%, and the talisman paper and cinnabar needed to be purchased with spiritual stones. He could only make a profit of one spiritual stone after selling ten first-grade low-grade talismans. In addition, the shops in the market had to hand over some spiritual stones every month. The loss and expenses of running the shops and the daily needs of cultivation left him with only a dozen spiritual stones after a month.

It is a sheer pipe dream to want to save up all the spirit stones in the storage bag or even buy flying swords or magical tools.

Moreover, if the flying sword magic weapon was really bought by Manager Chu, he could have put it in the storage bag he carried with him, and there was no need to hide it in the basement.

Combining this information, Lu Yan boldly inferred that the things in the storage bag were most likely obtained by Manager Chu through murdering others.

Because of the status and background of the monk he murdered, Manager Chu did not dare to expose these things easily and could only choose to hide them in the basement.

If Manager Chu had carried it with him, it would have disappeared along with the version update, and Lu Yan would not have been able to take advantage of it.

After packing up his storage bag, Lu Yan's eyes fell on the cold floor.

Not far away, the soul flag that Lu Yan forcibly brought to the urban version was lying there quietly.

After leaving the bloody sacrificial formation and the fairy-hero version, Lu Yan could feel that the threat from the soul flag seemed to be much smaller.

Those irrational resentful souls seemed unable to adapt to the external environment, and most of them fell into a deep sleep.

Walking in front of the Soul Banner, Lu Yan squatted down and carefully looked at the magical weapon in front of him.

The soul flag is pitch black, and the flagpole seems to be carved from some black jade, revealing a somewhat cold aura.

On the banner, black and gold threads outlined the image of a vengeful ghost devouring souls. Faintly, there seemed to be the sound of evil spirits crying, as if it were purgatory.

Reaching out to touch the soul flag, Lu Yan only felt a slight chill from the sleeping resentful soul, other than that there was nothing unusual.

"After all, it's just a low-grade magical weapon that hasn't been refined yet. Even the famous Soul Banner is the same. The most powerful part of the Soul Banner is its growth potential."

The reason why the Demonic Soul Banner is so famous is that, in addition to its powerful offensive capabilities among treasures of the same level, the most important point is that the Soul Banner can support fighting through fighting.

Killing a large number of lives to refine the Soul Banner, nurturing hundreds of ghosts can make it into the Hundred Soul Banner, a well-known top-grade magic weapon in the magic way. Once the refinement is completed, it can sweep the foundation.

If a banner can contain thousands of ghost soldiers and be commanded by ghost generals, it can be called a Thousand Souls Banner. Its grade is comparable to that of a golden elixir magic weapon. Once a banner is released, it can turn an entire city into a den of monsters and ghosts.

If it breeds tens of thousands of ghost soldiers and generals and is commanded by the Ghost King of the Netherworld, it will become the legendary Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.

Legend has it that the Jiuyou Demon Sect attempted to sacrifice the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, thereby bringing down divine punishment and destroying everything.

Lu Yan naturally did not expect to get the Thousand Soul Banner or the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. It was enough for him to be able to use this low-grade magic weapon, the Soul Banner, for his own use.

The Soul Banner can drive away resentful souls. The urban version is extraordinary and not obvious, but resentful souls are more valuable than most spells.

After exploring the environment of the underground factory, Lu Yan found some clean clothes. After changing out of his ancient-style coarse cloth clothes, Lu Yan tore open a piece of gradeless talisman.

Spirit fire talisman!
A bit of spiritual fire fell on the body of Shopkeeper Chu and began to spread rapidly, devouring the body in almost an instant.

This flame, which contains spiritual power, has an extremely high temperature and cannot be extinguished by ordinary water. It is enough to devour all traces of Lu Yan in the underground factory.

After doing all this, Lu Yan left the underground factory.
