Dark Immortal Cultivation

"what?"

Just as Zhang Qing finished collecting the body, a figure suddenly flashed into the room.

The newcomer was a middle-aged cultivator dressed in a green robe, with a gloomy face and sharp eyes, and he was holding a bronze ruler in his hand.

Zhang Qing was startled!

However, he reacted very quickly, immediately bowing and saying, "Zhang Qing, an outer disciple, greets the elder!"

Under the guild leader Gu Changfeng, there are three elders and four hall masters, who together constitute the high-level combat force of this gang.

Although Zhang Qing did not recognize the person, the color and patterns of the robe the visitor wore were enough to identify him.

He must be one of the three elders.

Zhang Qing simply didn't expect this elder to suddenly barge in.

The green-robed cultivator glanced at him coldly and said, "What are you doing here? Go out and kill the enemy!"

Zhang Qing bowed and replied, "Yes, sir!"

The green-robed cultivator snorted coldly and flashed away.

Zhang Qing straightened up, his neck already beaded with cold sweat.

The elder's aura was extremely imposing, with a hint of killing intent. If Zhang Qing hadn't revealed his identity in time, he might have suffered a thunderous blow from him.

Zhang Qing was absolutely unable to withstand that!

As for killing the wrong person...

What's the big deal if a dignified elder mistakenly kills an outer disciple?

Zhang Qing took a deep breath, suppressing the sharpness in his eyes.

He made a hand seal, casting the "Gentle Breeze Technique" upon himself, and then dashed out of the room.

At this moment, the battle situation in the base is completely in the hands of the Changfeng Society.

Groups of three or five inner-hall cultivators dressed in light blue shirts chased after the remaining enemies. The sounds of spells whistling, weapons clashing, and dying screams mingled together, sending chills down one's spine.

In fact, at this point, Zhang Qing was no longer involved.

He mingled in the crowd and rushed all the way outside the camp, but he couldn't find an opportunity to make a move.

Of course, Zhang Qing had no intention of showing off.

Safety first.

The battle ended after an incense stick had burned for a while.

When Zhang Qing returned to the camp, he saw a completely different scene.

The air was thick with the stench of blood. Many houses were damaged by the spells. Many members were busy carrying and treating the wounded, while others were cleaning up the battlefield.

After making his way around, Zhang Qing arrived at the outer hall.

They happened to run into Wei Xiong.

Upon seeing him, the team leader's rugged face broke into a relieved smile: "Are you alright?"

"fine."

Zhang Qing shook his head and asked again, "Team leader, what exactly is going on?"

Actually, he had a guess in his heart, and his guess was pretty close to the truth.

But to say it directly would be rude and could easily be misunderstood as dissatisfaction with the gang.

Wei Xiong hesitated for a moment, but still replied, "Our leader anticipated the enemy's moves and planned ahead. We have already won. You just need to stay alive."

He clearly didn't want to say anything more in front of Zhang Qing.

After all, in the scheme set up by Gu Changfeng, Zhang Qing and other outer disciples were just pawns to be sacrificed.

If I were to point this out, everyone would feel awkward.

It's better not to say anything.

Zhang Qing nodded silently.

The team leader was really good to him; otherwise, if he had just yelled at him, "What's there to ask?", Zhang Qing would have had to endure it.

Wei Xiong waved his hand: "Go back and rest first. It's a mess here. There should be a reward coming down in a couple of days. You won't be treated unfairly!"

Zhang Qing bowed and said, "This disciple takes his leave."

He left the camp only after obtaining Wei Xiong's permission.

The team leader clearly did not expect that Zhang Qing not only survived but also killed several enemies.

Wei Xiong didn't ask, so Zhang Qing didn't say anything either.

In any case, the merits of war need to be claimed from the Hall of Honor, and now is not the right time.

The first thing he did when he got home was to take out the three storage bags he had hidden in his arms.

Open and count them one by one.

The excitement and thrill of opening blind boxes was a rare moment of joy for Zhang Qing.

As for the result of opening the box…

First, he collected a large stack of talismans, including the Blazing Flame Talisman, the Sharp Metal Talisman, the Blade Wind Talisman, the Swiftness Talisman, and so on.

There were also several bottles of healing pills, detoxifying pills, and qi-tonifying pills.

Standard combat equipment!

As for talismans or coins, there wasn't a single one.

Not to mention things like martial arts techniques and secret manuals!

From the storage bag of the black-robed cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining, Zhang Qing took out a mid-grade Explosive Flame Talisman and a Spiritual Light Protection Talisman!

A mid-grade Explosive Flame Talisman is alright; although it's valuable, it's not particularly rare.

But the amulet of spiritual light is completely different.

This kind of talisman can only be made by talisman masters at the late stage of Qi Refining, and the success rate is quite low, so it is rarely seen on the market.

Needless to say, the price is more than enough to buy four or five mid-grade Explosive Flame Talismans!

It corresponds to the "Spiritual Light Protection Technique," which allows cultivators like Zhang Qing, who are in the early stages of Qi Refining, to experience the defensive effect of being protected by spiritual light.

In a critical moment, this could save your life!

In fact, the Spirit Light Amulet is also very useful for cultivators in the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

Like that black-robed cultivator who was killed by Zhang Qing, if he had time to take out this talisman and activate it after his protective aura was broken.

The outcomes for both sides could very well be completely reversed!

However, Zhang Qing's skillful use of rapid-fire bullets was so impressive that he managed to force Zhang Qing into a desperate situation.

This black-robed monk was at least half wronged when he died!

There was even a spirit stone hidden in his storage bag.

Spirit Stone!

This thing was practically legendary to Zhang Qing.

I had only seen him once before, since I was a child.

I only glanced at it!

This spiritual stone is strip-shaped, about the size of a thumb, and has a texture like fine jade, with a lustrous, pure white color and a faint spiritual glow on its surface.

This spirit stone was clearly carefully cut.

Although it had no decorations, the moment it was taken out, it captivated Zhang Qing's entire being.

This time I really made a profit!

It's important to know that spirit stones aren't something low-level cultivators can possess; their uses are extremely wide-ranging, including cultivation, talisman making, weapon forging, pill refining, and array formation...

Compared to circulating currencies such as large and small talisman coins, spirit stones are somewhat similar to the status of gold in Zhang Qing's previous life.

But spirit stones are much more practical than gold!

Zhang Qing quickly put it away.

It is said that spirit stones can only be obtained by mining spirit stone mines.

Spirit stone mines are controlled by a very small number of powerful sects and are considered top-tier strategic resources.

Although spirit stones can seal the spiritual energy within them, if they are exposed to the outside for a long time, signs of spiritual energy loss are inevitable.

That would reduce its value.

It will last longer if stored in a storage bag.

Of these three loot storage bags, some disappointed Zhang Qing, while others brought him pleasant surprises.

Overall, it's not bad.

Then, Zhang Qing released three more corpses.

He suppressed his nausea and searched the entire place carefully, finding some more items.

But Zhang Qing had a vague feeling.

My greatest gain was the whisk I had captured!
