Dark Immortal Cultivation

The corpse on the ground was still convulsing.

Zhang Qing had already started looting the bag.

This place is very close to Xiaoshiji, and it's the time when people who went out to scavenge and hunt are returning. If we don't hurry up and clean up the battlefield, we'll easily be discovered.

He quickly took off the storage bags hanging from Xu Wu and the other two's waists and hurriedly stuffed them into his own pocket.

Then, he collected the body and left decisively!

After hurrying home, closing the doors and pasting up talismans to ward off evil, Zhang Qing swayed and almost collapsed to the ground.

In both his past and present lives, this was the first time he had killed someone.

Three people were killed in one go!

Although Zhang Qing felt no regret or disgust, today's experience was still too shocking for him, who had been diligent and law-abiding for thirty years in his previous life.

It felt like I was supported entirely by the frantic secretion of adrenaline, which allowed me to complete all the operations so smoothly.

Now that he was safe, the energy within him dissipated, and Zhang Qing felt completely drained, his clothes soaked with cold sweat.

He took a deep breath and drank a large bowl of cold water, and his mood finally calmed down.

Sitting at the table, Zhang Qing carefully reviewed the previous battle, feeling both relieved and subtly proud.

In a one-on-three situation, Xu Wu's side completely overwhelmed Zhang Qing's strength, but he managed to turn the tables and kill him, winning decisively and cleanly.

This brief but intense battle deserves a thumbs up from anyone who witnesses it.

Well done!

But Zhang Qing knew very well that luck played a significant role in it.

First, Xu Wu and his two companions were careless, giving him the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and behead them.

Otherwise, Xu Wu, who was at the third level of Qi Refining, alone would have been enough to suppress Zhang Qing, who was newly promoted to the second level of Qi Refining!

It should be noted that Xu Wu not only had a higher level of skill but also far more combat experience than Zhang Qing. The reason why this hyena-like character was killed by Zhang Qing in one fell swoop was that he did not take Zhang Qing seriously at all and thought he had him cornered.

Secondly, the two talismans held by Zhang Qing, the Blazing Flame Talisman and the Sharp Metal Talisman, played a crucial role.

The latter was a relic left to him by the old monk Chen.

Of course, Zhang Qing's ability to remain calm and collected during the crisis, feigning madness and weakness before launching a sudden attack, was also key to his victory!

After mentally reviewing the battle, Zhang Qing opened his eyes and took a long breath.

Then, he took out the captured storage bag from his pocket.

Previously, Zhang Qing was still troubled by his almost broken storage bag, but now he can cosplay as Elder Five Bags.

Open each of the storage bags, take out the contents, and pile them on the table.

Zhang Qingmei savored the taste of her harvest.

Xu Wu, along with his two subordinates, gave him a total of twelve large talisman coins, fifty-seven small talisman coins, and several hundred white coins.

Talisman coins are the main currency circulating in this world, and they are divided into large talisman coins and small talisman coins.

One large talisman coin can be exchanged for ten small talisman coins.

As for white coins, they are unprocessed coins that have not been refined by magic.

For a lowly cultivator like Zhang Qing, who has no one to rely on, refining talisman coins is the most important means of maintaining basic food and clothing.

First, exchange or borrow white coins from the Immortal Alliance Money Shop, then infuse them with magic power to refine them into small talisman coins, and finally use them to buy food.

Countless junior cultivators filled their stomachs with this.

Zhang Qing was no exception.

But there's no such thing as a free lunch; the magical power consumed in crafting talismans doesn't just appear out of thin air.

Without additional cultivation resources, one relies solely on the meager spiritual energy of heaven and earth and one's own blood energy to condense true qi, which consumes a large amount of resources.

The reason why the previous owner was unable to break through the bottleneck of the first level of Qi Refining was not entirely due to mediocre talent!

As for the talisman coins that countless low-level cultivators painstakingly crafted, where did most of them ultimately go, and what were they used for...?

Zhang Qing dared not think any further.

It was as if a voice in his mind was issuing him an extremely stern warning!

Grabbing a handful of talisman coins from the table, Zhang Qing felt a deeper sense of the darkness of this world.

He calmed himself down and continued to count the spoils.

There were more than a dozen talismans, including talismans for warding off evil, talismans for illumination, talismans for speed, talismans for golden armor, talismans for explosive flames...

Xu Wu had been mingling in Xiaoshiji for many years and had built up a force of influence; he was quite powerful.

As a result, it was completely useless at the crucial moment, and it all benefited Zhang Qing!

These highly practical talismans brought a smile to his face, and he became very happy.

In addition, there are some commonly used medicines such as healing pills and detoxifying pills, which Zhang Qing currently has no shortage of, but he would never complain about them.

Besides these items, the rest were just dry food, candles, and the like.

There were no cultivation techniques or magical artifacts that Zhang Qing desired.

This is actually quite normal.

Few people carry martial arts manuals with them, and magical artifacts are extremely valuable, so they are not something that someone like Xu Wu can possess.

Strictly speaking, the talisman coins, talismans, and pills that Zhang Qing seized were nothing in total.

But for him right now, it's an absolute windfall!

With these gains, Zhang Qing could stay at home for several months without going out to scavenge or gather, and concentrate on his spiritual practice.

Having deeply experienced the benefits brought to him by "powerful energy," he is now considering whether he can use this windfall to exchange for a rare item.

Only with valuable items can you gain powerful abilities, which can be used to increase your combat strength quickly!

The problem is that the Immortal Alliance Money Shop only buys and doesn't sell, and it's not even available in the market, so where can Zhang Qing get it?

He doesn't have the necessary connections!

The most crucial point is, how could a lowly cultivator like him possibly get involved in the exclusive monopoly of the Immortal Alliance's money exchange?

Zhang Qing scratched his scalp hard, once again feeling his own weakness.

"Young Master Zhang, are you home?"

Just then, a charming voice suddenly came from outside the door, gently and softly entering his ears.

Zhang Qing suddenly felt a jolt!

He subconsciously swallowed and quickly swept all the spoils on the table into his storage bag.

"They're here!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Qing got up and opened the door.

It was not yet dark when a beautiful woman with a graceful figure and stunning looks stood gracefully at the door.

Upon seeing Zhang Qing, the woman smiled slightly, revealing two sharp canine teeth, and her long white tail, which stood tall behind her, swayed from side to side.

A mature and elegant aroma, along with a sweet and refreshing scent, instantly enveloped the boy's face.

Zhang Qing's face flushed red.

It wasn't that he lacked willpower, but rather that his body couldn't resist the charm emanating from the other person.

Zhang Qing took a half step back, pinched his thigh hard, and asked in a deep voice, "Senior Hu, is there anything I can help you with?"

The beautiful woman before them looked delicate and fragile, like a tempting fruit ready to be picked.

But Zhang Qing knew very well that this was just an appearance!

The other party was not only a fox clan member among the demon race, but also a cultivator from the Hehuan Sect.

People like Xu Wu don't even deserve to lick her toes!

As for his cultivation level...

Zhang Qing had no way of knowing, but crushing him wouldn't be any more difficult than crushing an ant!

Zhang Qing is someone you really can't mess with.

At this moment, although he appeared calm on the surface, he was inwardly panicking.

I felt a chill run down my spine and sensed that something terrible was about to happen!
