My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 120 Follow-up
The Blood Slaughter Three Demons' storage bag contained quite a few items.

Perhaps because they were universally reviled, the three of them carried almost all their family assets with them.

Among them, spirit stones alone
That's about three thousand two hundred dollars!

This is definitely one of the largest sums of spirit stones Shen Changchuan has ever seen!

Although Si Houqing offered 3,500 spirit stones as rent for setting up a temporary trading post on the east side of the village,
However, this rent payment was not made immediately, but rather in installments.

Therefore, the more than three thousand spirit stones seized from the Three Demons of Blood Slaughter
This is the largest sum of money Shen Changchuan has ever seen!

This made Shen Changchuan's breathing become heavier.

This,

This is just one of the gains.

There were also three bottles in the storage bag, which appeared to be three different types of unidentified cultivation pills placed separately.

Shen Changchuan couldn't even identify its specific name.
But judging from the medicinal power emanating from it, one knows that this must be a good thing for refining and enhancing magical power.

Therefore, Shen Changchuan specially took the pills to Si Houqing for identification.

Si Houqing recognized the pills as Houqi Pill, Qiling Pill, and Yuanqi Pill.

Just as Shen Changchuan had predicted,

Those are all pills used by cultivators at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

However, Si Houqing also said that these three kinds of pills are only low-level auxiliary pills used by cultivators in the late stage of Qi Induction, and their improvement effect is relatively limited.

For cultivators at the seventh level of Qi Refining, the effect of consuming these items is probably not much greater than the effect of consuming high-grade Qi Refining Pills.

Even if you pound twenty or thirty pills, you might only improve by about one level.

If you add too much, the effect will be greatly reduced due to drug resistance.

For cultivators at the seventh level of Qi Refining...

It wasn't actually a very good elixir.

Seeing this, Shen Changchuan was also slightly disappointed.

However, since it was something he got for free, he wasn't too disappointed.

After some consideration,
Shen Changchuan then decided to sell all of these pills.

"Although the body of a cultivator will automatically expel impurities such as pill toxins during the process of constantly refining spiritual energy for cultivation."

"But this process obviously has a limit. If too many pills are taken and too much toxicity is ingested, the body's purification speed will not be able to keep up, which will definitely affect future cultivation."

"These pills won't be very effective for cultivating to the seventh level of Qi Refining. To see significant improvement, I'll need to consume a large quantity. However, with my current financial resources, plus the future profits from the commercial development of Dawancun, I shouldn't have too much to worry about regarding pill resources for cultivating to the seventh level of Qi Refining."

"Instead of taking these ineffective pills for cultivation, it would be better to buy more effective pills after advancing to the seventh level, to avoid accumulating pill toxins during later cultivation."

In Shen Changchuan's heart,
Several thoughts flashed through my mind.

Shen Changchuan also inquired about the price of these pills and whether Sanhe Trading Company offered to buy back them.

Si Houqing did not hide anything from Shen Changchuan, telling him that the price of such pills was about three hundred spirit stones per pill.

However, he also stated explicitly that

According to their rules, all their businesses would reduce the price of loose pills by more than half when purchasing them from outside.

This was an unwritten rule among their business guilds, and he couldn't easily break it.

Therefore, it would be better to place the pills in a temporary trading post for consignment.

When the temporary trading post opens, he can help Shen Changchuan inquire with customers if they need this type of cultivation pill, and then complete the transaction privately.

This matter caught Shen Changchuan somewhat off guard. At the same time, he didn't really want to trouble Si Houqing.

However, considering that if it were sold to the Sanhe Trading Company, the price would be reduced by half, which would mean a loss of at least 1,500 spirit stones per bottle.

With all three bottles combined, it's probably worth three or four thousand spirit stones less!
Ultimately, after weighing these enormous interests,
Ultimately, Shen Changchuan suppressed his reluctance to trouble others.
Please ask Si Houqing to help consign one or two items.

Si Houqing had no problem with this and simply accepted the commissioned transaction.

Besides these spirit stones and pills...
The spoils also included various miscellaneous items such as ores, monster materials, and spiritual herbs.

Shen Changchuan didn't bother to argue, and sold the whole thing to Si Houqing, receiving three hundred spirit stones in return.

All that's left are the magical artifacts.

Actually, there were several bloodstained magical artifacts in the loot storage bag, which looked like spoils from killing other people.

However, those were all low-level, worthless items, which was probably why the Blood Slaughter Three Demons found it difficult to sell them. So Shen Changchuan didn't care and thought he might as well keep them as a reward for the cultivators in the village.

The most precious items were the gauntlets worn by the tall, burly man among the Three Blood Demons, and the Blood Fiend Gourd.

Both of these are powerful magical artifacts, especially the latter, whose power is astonishing.

It was the weapon that allowed the three demons to wreak havoc.

Shen Changchuan did not intend to keep them all for use.

The boxing gloves didn't suit his fighting style.
The Blood Fiend Gourd's flaws were too fatal and obvious.

Thinking of this,

Shen Changchuan planned to sell both of these magical artifacts to Si Houqing.

But he quickly realized something.

There is still a considerable amount of time before he advances to the seventh level of Qi Refining and masters the perfect Azure Wood Sword Light.

"After killing the Three Blood Demons, although it can have a sufficient deterrent effect on outside cultivators, there is always a chance of something going wrong."

"Although the Blood Fiend Gourd has significant flaws, it can still play a considerable role before I advance to the seventh level and cultivate the Azure Wood Sword Light to perfection."

"Let's keep it for now, as another trump card. We'll decide whether to sell it later when I have enough power to protect myself."

Thinking about this,
Shen Changchuan also put away both magical artifacts.

And that concludes the collection of spoils obtained from slaying the Three Blood Demons.

The storage bag did not contain any spells, cultivation techniques, or experience points that the three people had practiced.

This puzzled Shen Changchuan.
However, I didn't take it too seriously.

He gained quite a lot from this experience.

As expected of the Blood Slaughter Three Demons, who are group cultivators at the seventh level of Qi Refining, their wealth is immense. With over three thousand spirit stones on their own, plus the value of spirit pills and the Blood Fiend Gourd, their net worth is probably close to ten thousand spirit stones!

This undoubtedly made Shen Changchuan a fortune!
But amidst the joy,

Shen Changchuan couldn't help but feel somewhat troubled.

I've gained so much!
I can't process it right now!
What a happy worry!
This,

This also made Shen Changchuan even more eager to reach the seventh level of Qi Refining!

So not long after
After arranging the final touches,
After fulfilling the obligations of rewarding village members as appropriate, providing compensation as needed, and rebuilding the village as required,
Shen Changchuan then went into seclusion once again.

He plans to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining in one fell swoop!
