Starting from his vigorous old age, he began to conquer Liaozhai.

"Someone come here!"

Cao Xiong called out to the outside.

Yu Tong immediately jogged over to Cao Xiong's side. After imprisoning Zhu Quanzi last night, Yu Tong had been guarding him here.

"Commander, what are your orders?"

"Go get paper and pen. I have a few questions to ask this immortal master, but he is not cooperating. I will write down the questions and try to get him to open his mouth. If I can't get the answers, I will leave him with his last breath and send him on his way myself."

"Yes, sir!"

Soon after, Yu Tong returned to the prison with paper and pen, and Cao Xiong wrote down all the questions he wanted to ask.

The first question, which was also his biggest concern, was how to test whether he had the talent for cultivating immortality.

The second question concerns the Yaksha and the Tree Demon Granny. This question is very broad. In short, Cao Xiong wants Zhu Quanzi to reveal everything he knows.

The last question is, how should the storage bag be used, and can martial artists use it?

Cao Xiong handed the paper and pen to Yu Tong, then got up and left the prison.

Only Yu Tong and Zhu Quanzi remained inside. Yu Tong grinned maliciously. At the same time, two burly men walked in from outside, carrying various instruments of torture.

Yu Tong held up the instruments of torture in front of Zhu Quanzi, while the two burly men stared at Zhu Quanzi with burning desire.

After an incense stick had burned, Yu Tong walked out of the prison.

"Commander-in-Chief. I have successfully completed my mission."

Cao Xiong took the hemp paper covered with writing from Yu Tong.

"Well done, is he still alive?" Cao Xiong wasn't in a hurry to look at the records, but was concerned about Zhu Quanzi's life, as that was a living fragment of the entry.

"Rest assured, sir, he is still alive. I haven't touched anything on his body."

"Okay, you've been busy all day, go and rest."

After sending Yu Tong away, Cao Xiong returned to the prison.

He killed Zhuquanzi with a single stroke.

[Defeat a Qi Refining Realm early stage cultivator, fragment +2]

[Fragments: 4-4]

Please select your term!

Cao Xiong was overjoyed; it was a double blessing.

He searched Zhu Quanzi's body again and pulled out a storage bag from his clothes.

He couldn't wait to return to the centurion's barracks and begin checking the harvest.

Looking at the records on the hemp paper, it is necessary to use the magical artifact, the Spirit Testing Plate, to test one's spiritual root.

The second account, concerning the Tree Demon Granny and the Yaksha, is very vague and full of unnecessary details. The information about the Tree Demon Granny is roughly the same as what he received from Nie Xiaoqian.

The only noteworthy point is that Zhu Quanzi wanted to become a disciple of the Tree Demon Granny because the spiritual energy within the Ten Thousand Mountains had become denser, showing signs of spiritual revival.

The area around the Tree Demon Granny's cave is conducive to cultivation.

Cao Xiong suddenly remembered the riot that suddenly occurred in the Ten Thousand Mountains during the last bandit suppression. He wondered if it was related to the revival of spiritual energy.

The last question concerns how to use the storage bags. It says that storage bags with owners can only be forcibly refined, while unclaimed storage bags can be connected using divine sense.

As for how to use divine sense, there is no record of it. Even if it were recorded, Cao Xiong would never dare to try it lightly.

Zhu Quanzi ended up crippled because of him; ruining someone's path is like killing their parents.

However, the idea of ​​refining the storage bag with divine sense should be fine.

Cao Xiong now has two storage bags; he'll figure out how to refine them later.

He still chose to use force to directly open Zhu Quanzi's storage bag.

Zhu Quanzi was, after all, a Qi Refining Realm cultivator, much wealthier than the troupe cultivators he had encountered before.

There were three talismans left inside, which Cao Xiong did not recognize. The strokes on them were complicated and looked like scribbles to him.

There are also more than twenty crimson fire spirit stones.

It can be seen from Zhu Quanzi's attack methods that he cultivates fire-attribute techniques.

Besides the talismans, there was also a cultivation manual called "Li Huo Jue", a black shield covered in cracks, and a fiery red sword.

There is also a miscellaneous book titled "Basic Knowledge of Elixirs" and records of spiritual practice.

"Why do these cultivators like writing diaries so much?"

Cao Xiong gathered everything together, and suddenly felt a sense of loss, as if he had missed something.

He pondered for a while before suddenly remembering, "Oh no, I still have the storage bag, spirit stones, and cultivation techniques I got from the troupe of cultivators under my bed."

Cao Xiong immediately ordered his soldiers to search for those things.

Cao Xiong was somewhat annoyed. He was determined to learn how to use the storage bag so that he could keep all his precious items close to his body.

Cao Xiong then focused his attention on the entries.

"I want to select an entry."

[Entry 1: Master of Underhanded Tactics (Green): Specializes in sneak attacks and throwing weapons. Increases damage dealt to enemies by 20% when using non-direct methods.]

[Entry 2: Copper Skin and Iron Bones (Blue): Resistant to impacts, drops, and cuts; impervious to knives and spears.]

[Entry 3: Beauty (White): Naturally alluring. You have a strong attraction to the opposite sex, and your appearance is enhanced by 20%]

"I didn't expect it to turn green right away. Looks like this is going to be something special."

However, it's understandable. He killed Zhuquanzi and obtained 2 fragments, in addition to the 2.8 fragments he already had.

This wasn't the first time he'd obtained an entry, and he'd noticed some patterns.

For example, even though the accumulated fragments are not displayed, does accumulating more fragments necessarily improve the quality of the entry to some extent?

All of this is just Cao Xiong's speculation; he can try it out later.

He shifted his attention back to the entries.

Although the first entry is green, it is clearly an advanced version of the "Master of Underhanded Tactics" skill. Using sneak attacks can increase damage by 20%. To be honest, he was already a little tempted, but not much.

He even suspected that the panel was trying to entice him.

He skipped the first entry and continued reading. The second entry was a blue one that was a level above "Master of Underhanded Tactics".

It can greatly improve defensive capabilities.

He currently has the attribute "Still Vigorous in Old Age" to maintain his peak physical condition, "Genius of Swordsmanship" to enhance his combat power, and "Exceptional Talent" to improve his innate abilities. If he chooses "Iron Skin and Bones" to increase his defense, he can further make up for his weaknesses.

He finally looked at the entry for "beauty".

It's just a plain white entry; judging from the description, it doesn't seem to have any other function besides making you look better.

"I choose [copper skin and iron bones]."

The terms "Master of Underhanded Tactics" and "Beauty" gradually faded away, while "Iron Skin and Bones" transformed into a burst of blue light and merged into Cao Xiong's body.

At first, he didn't feel anything, but after a while, he felt an itch on his skin and a tingling sensation in his bones.

This sensation, which was neither quite painful nor quite painful, made him feel as if he were being bitten by tens of thousands of ants.

This feeling lasted for less than ten minutes before it disappeared.

"Aside from feeling that my skin is whiter and I have more energy, there haven't been many changes."

Cao Xiong walked to the courtyard behind the barracks and casually picked up a scalpel.

He channeled his inner energy, using thirty percent of his power, and slashed at his own arm.

"Bang!"

The lancet snapped in two instantly.
