Chapter 24 Black Duck

The Mo Chan is a well-known hidden weapon among cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage. After being injected with sufficient spiritual power, it can burst into the enemy's body at a terrifying speed and then explode violently.

Generally speaking, with the power of the Mo Chan, the probability of death after being hit by it is as high as 70% in the middle stage of Qi Refining. If someone in the late stage of Qi Refining is hit carelessly, he may be seriously injured.

However, the origin of the black cicada is mysterious and unknown, and its number is very rare, so it is often difficult to find one.

The price generally ranges from five hundred to seven hundred spirit stones, and sometimes the price can even reach over one thousand.

The reason why the Black Mochan is so expensive is that it is a rare life-saving hidden weapon that does not require high skills from the user. Often, the strength of the second level of Qi Refining is enough to initially unleash the power of the Black Mochan.

This time, Qi Ping and his companions killed the black-robed cultivator, and even if they only obtained this one black cicada, it can be said that they had made a huge profit.

The amount of several hundred spirit stones would take Qi Ping and Sister Nan a long time to earn even if they did not eat, drink or practice!

And now the two of them have gained much more than that!

The two chose to put the Mo Chan aside and prepare to deal with it later.

Trophy 2: Two black low-grade magical robes!
These two robes are almost identical except for a slight difference in size.

Although the two robes were pierced by the sharp stingers of the golden marrow bees during the battle, their basic toughness and defense were still there, just with many more small holes.

It can still provide considerable defense against damage from swords and other spells.

The reason why these two robes were easily penetrated was not because of the poor defense of the robes, but because the attack power of the golden marrow bee's tail stinger was too strong, which was far beyond the resistance of the inferior magic weapons in the early stage of Qi Refining. If the robes were of the middle-grade magic weapon level, they might be able to withstand a few hits.

Qi Ping and Sister Nan each took one of the two robes.

After getting the robe, Qi Ping immediately used spiritual energy to wash away the blood and dirt on it, and then put it on inside his clothes. This way, he would not expose the black robe and would also increase his defense.

With the protective spiritual power of the Wooden Shield Technique, Qi Ping suddenly felt that his safety had been greatly improved.

Sister Nan also found a place with her back to Qi Ping and changed into her robe.

Loot three: four storage bags.

Among the four storage bags, two have large space and two have small space.

There were two storage bags that might have been obtained by the man in black robe from robbing other people. Qi Ping and Sister Nan each took two storage bags, which could be worth a lot of spirit stones.

Trophy 4: One mid-grade magical sword and one medium-grade magical weapon.

Qi Ping uses a knife and Sister Nan uses a sword, so the spoils are easy to divide.

Trophy five: 372 low-grade spirit stones.

Although this amount of spirit stones is not small, it is indeed not much for a Tribulation Cultivator.

Qi Ping guessed that it was because the two of them used the spirit stones to buy robes or black cicadas.

The two of them each received 186 low-grade spirit stones.

Trophy Six: Two Qi-refining exercises, one is "Changchun Gong" and the other is "Hanhai Jue".

Compared with the skills the two were currently practicing, these two skills did not have much advantage and were of little value, so the two of them each made a copy.

Trophy 7: Some miscellaneous items of low value.

Qi Ping guessed that the high-value items were taken by the two men in black robes to sell the spirit stones to buy the Mo Chan. These sundries were all dispensable things and had little value to be distributed.

At this point, except for the ink cicada, all the spoils had been distributed.

Just when Qi Ping was about to discuss Mochan's distribution with Sister Nan, Sister Nan spoke first:

"Xiao Qi, you can take this ink cicada. You have made a greater contribution this time."

"More importantly, you are not very strong now, and you don't have enough combat experience. Even if you have a contract with the Golden Marrow Bee, it will be very dangerous when you encounter an enemy that suddenly appears. So you are more valuable, and I am about to break through the fifth level of Qi Refining."

Hearing Sister Nan's words, Qi Ping was slightly stunned.

"Sister Nan, but if that's the case..." Sister Nan obviously expected Qi Ping to say so much, so she quickly interrupted:
"I haven't finished yet! Although this Ink Cicada is given to you first, after your strength improves, if this Ink Cicada has not been used up, how about this Ink Cicada belong to me?"

"Let me make it clear first, you can't secretly sell the Mochan and then say you used it!"

When Sister Nan said the last sentence, she looked at Qi Ping pretending to be very serious.

When Qi Ping heard this, how could he not know that this was Sister Nan taking care of him openly!
According to the normal speed of cultivation, even if he had honey brewed by a colony of golden marrow bees, it would take an unknown amount of time for his strength to improve. After all, Sister Nan didn't know that Qi Ping possessed the skill of plant growth, which could accelerate the growth of spiritual plants.

In addition, even if Qi Ping's strength improved and he secretly sold Mo Chan, Sister Nan would have no way to verify it;
Of course Qi Ping would not do that.

After the spoils were distributed, the two men carefully set out on their journey home again.

With the presence of Fapao and Mochan, the strength of both of them has increased a lot, so they are not as uneasy as before.

In the end, the ink cicada naturally fell into Qi Ping's hands.

At the same time, Qi Ping also secretly made a decision that, to the best of his ability, he would help Sister Nan break through the fifth level of Qi Refining as soon as possible, or even to the late stage of Qi Refining!
A copy of "Spiritual Beast Cultivation: Demon Insects" and a black cicada. The former allowed Qi Ping to see more room for development in the future, while the latter could save Qi Ping's life in times of crisis.

However, the resources needed to break through the late stage of Qi Refining are far less than these values.

On the rest of the way back, neither Qi Ping nor Sister Nan encountered any danger.

Soon after, the two successfully entered the Yunwu Mountains.

"Finally home!"

Looking at the familiar mountains in front of him, Qi Ping breathed a sigh of relief.

This trip was too dangerous. Even though they won in the end, if the enemy had used the Mo Chan at the beginning or in time, one of Qi Ping or Sister Nan would have died, and even the Golden Marrow Bee would not have been able to save the situation!
Fortunately, they won!
"Yeah, I'm finally back."

Sister Nan also showed an expression of relief.

This was not the first time she encountered a life-and-death crisis, but it was also the first time she was powerless at this critical moment. No matter how many poisonous methods she used, they all seemed so pale and powerless under the ink cicada.

Fortunately, Qi Ping had a powerful hidden card, the Golden Marrow Bee, which caught the man in black robe off guard.

At this point, the two of them also felt eager to go home, it was too dangerous outside!
However, before they had walked for long, they saw a fat figure looking forward to it at the fork in the road ahead.

"Isn't this Fatty Zhou? He seems to be waiting for us?" Sister Nan looked at the chubby figure with some confusion.

Fatty Zhou is also a member of the Fusheng Society. He rents a mountain stream in the Yunwu Mountains and raises a group of first-grade low-quality black ducks.

However, ever since he married a pair of mortal twins and gave birth to two pairs of twins, he seldom participated in the activities of the Fu Sheng Society. He basically stayed at home and only came out for the annual gathering or when there was an emergency.

I guess something happened.

When the chubby figure saw Qi Ping and Sister Nan, he quickly came over at a speed that didn't match his size:
"Sister Nan, Xiao Qi, I've been waiting for you to come back!"

"Brother Shan said you went to Qingshifang Market. I thought you would go home directly after you came back, so I came here to wait for you in advance."

Fatty Zhou's face was filled with anxiety and worry as he spoke.

"Fat brother, what happened?" Qi Ping asked.

"Alas," the fat man sighed, and then continued, "My black duck seems to be sick. It hasn't eaten or drunk for several days!"

"But I checked it many times and asked many friends to look at it, but no one could see what the problem was."

"Sister Nan, you are very knowledgeable"

"Xiao Qi, you have also studied a lot of books and breeding knowledge."

"Can you help me take a look? As long as it can be solved, you can ask for anything."

After hearing what Fatty Zhou said, Qi Ping felt surprised.

This is another case where I can't see the cause. It seems to be similar to the black bee.
"Is this a coincidence? Or is there some deeper reason?" Qi Ping couldn't help but feel puzzled.
