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

Chapter 139 Meager Gains
The burly man with the thick beard realized he had missed his target.
Let's leave aside how to vent our anger by roaring in place.

At this moment, Shen Changchuan was already standing behind Xiao Feng, soaring high in the sky.
Far away from Qingcheng,
It is flying towards Dawancun.

Shen Changchuan was in a good mood at this moment.

He gazed at the blood-red gourd in his hand.
A smug look flashed in his eyes.

This gourd is naturally the Blood Fiend Gourd that was once in the hands of the Three Demons of Blood Slaughter.

After the three of them were killed by Shen Changchuan, the Blood Fiend Gourd fell into his hands.

Shen Changchuan originally intended to sell the Blood Fiend Gourd because he considered that it had significant flaws.

But then I thought about it.
Such magical artifacts with unique mechanisms may play a significant role in certain special battles.

Furthermore, since he had not yet advanced to the seventh level at that time, considering the issue of strength, he temporarily kept it in his possession.

Now it seems,

His decision back then couldn't have been more correct!
Although this Blood Fiend Gourd has the effect of "hard control" over the user.

But if used properly
Its effects are far greater than those of ordinary ritual implements!
Just like this time,
It was precisely because of this Blood Fiend Gourd that

Shen Changchuan dared to take the risk and try to turn the tables on those who had ambushed him.

Shen Changchuan was not a reckless person.
When he does something, he is already prepared for failure.

If the surprise attack fails and the enemy cannot be killed immediately, and a protracted and arduous battle ensues,

They would then directly summon the Blood Fiend Gourd.

Given the Blood Fiend Gourd's eerie properties and abilities—its ability to rapidly corrode magical power and suppress the soul—

It's enough to hold off the enemy for some time.

At this time,

That's enough to make Xiao Feng descend from the sky and take him away!
It is precisely because of this ample escape route that
Shen Changchuan then boldly took this risk.

After all, if you can't win, you can always run away.

With this fallback plan as a safety net,
What problems might arise if I try it?

Pull back the many thoughts from your mind.

Shen Changchuan sat down cross-legged on Xiao Feng's back.

The surrounding winds blew past quickly, with a force strong enough to overturn an ordinary person.

However, Shen Changchuan was clearly no ordinary person; he sat very steadily.

He took out two storage bags, both containing the spoils of this trip.
After erasing the original owner's mark,

He began to probe it with his divine sense, searching for any findings.

However, after a careful search,
Shen Changchuan's brows furrowed slightly.

"The harvest is rather meager."

Shen Changchuan had no choice but to react in this way.

The reason is simply that there aren't enough loot items in this storage bag!
During World War I,
He killed one Qi Refining Stage 8 and two Qi Refining Stage 7.

There are two storage bags in total.

Then, the two storage bags only contained a total of nine hundred spirit stones!

As for pills, there are only two or three bottles of pills to restore Qi.

There were only two or three talismans left; it seemed the rest had all been used up.

He did have a few magical artifacts: a longsword with a cold aura flowing from its blade, a heavy, earth-yellow ring-pommel broadsword, and the telescope-like telescope artifact he had initially used to spy on him.

Besides these,

There are also some spiritual herbs, monster materials, and rare and precious materials.

However, judging from the spiritual energy attached to them, they are clearly not high-grade natural treasures.

It's worth at most three or four hundred spirit stones.

The combined harvest from the two storage bags, even if all the magical artifacts, materials, and other miscellaneous items were sold for spirit stones, would only amount to about 1,500 spirit stones!

If you add the three magical artifacts and the two storage bags themselves, the total would be around two thousand spirit stones. This amount of gain...
This is probably quite good for other people.

However, it was far from what Shen Changchuan had expected.

"The three Blood Demons are only Qi Refining Stage 7 cultivators, yet they can still earn over 3,000 spirit stones. If you add the Blood Fiend Gourd, cultivation pills, and other items, they can easily make over 5,000 spirit stones!"

"How did you, a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining, with even ninth-level experts in your group, end up so poor?!"

In Shen Changchuan's heart,
A hint of disdain inevitably showed on his face.

disappointment,

This amount of spirit stones,

It really disappointed him!

But very soon,
Then he thought of something else.

"No, this seems to be the normal way."

"Those who have undergone tribulation have no tomorrow. As long as they have spirit stones and pills, they will try their best to exchange them for their own strength, rather than keeping them."

"Under normal circumstances, even a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining could only barely accumulate about 10,000 spirit stones in a lifetime of effort, and a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining could only accumulate even fewer spirit stones."

"That's probably why they would ambush me."

Shen Changchuan understood.

But soon,

A strange look appeared on his face again.

"Speaking of which, the reason why I gained so much from killing the Three Blood Demons was probably because after they took the reward for killing me, they went straight to Dawan Village, only to be killed by me, and the reward ended up in my hands, right?"

He tried to kill himself but failed; instead, he used a large number of spirit stones to fund his enemy.

If the mastermind behind this finds out...

Wouldn't that make you so angry you'd die?

Thinking about this made Shen Changchuan feel much better.

"So be it, if I gain it, I am fortunate; if I lose it, it is my fate."

"The reason why windfall gains are windfall gains is that they appear occasionally and cannot be obtained every day."

Shen Changchuan comforted himself in this way.
Let go of your regrets.

"On the other hand, this trip was actually quite risky for me."

"In this battle, although I used the Transformation Technique to disguise myself as someone else, I also used the Blood Fiend Gourd during the battle. This magic weapon is quite famous in the outside world. If the other person traces it back, they may be able to find me."

"After all, the corpse of the original owner of the Blood Fiend Gourd is currently hanging in front of the gate of Dawan Village."

"If that Qi Refining Ninth Level guy follows the map and finds Dawan Village, wouldn't that be a problem?"

When Shen Changchuan was conducting his routine battle debriefing,
They quickly realized the problem.

This made him slap his head.

Great!
I never expected there to be such a huge vulnerability!
Shen Changchuan kept reflecting on himself in his heart.

At the same time, consider the reasons.

quickly,

He then understood why he had been so careless and made a mistake.

That was from his breakthrough to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Despite not showing any outward signs of advancing to the seventh level, Shen Changchuan remained calm on the surface.
But deep down, joy filled my heart.

Simultaneously,

Because he needed to conceal his cultivation level, he dared not reveal it, nor could he spar with others to test his strength.

The fighting spirit in his heart was suppressed deep within.

He didn't even notice.
