Chapter 94: "The Professional Daoist is Full"

Chapter 94: "The Professional Daoist is Full"

The moment his divine sense entered, he realized that the space within this storage ring was several times larger than that of ordinary storage rings.

Clearly, this was no ordinary item.

Just this storage ring alone would be worth a considerable amount of money.

It had to be said that the person recommended by the scholar was reliable. The shopkeeper, a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator at the fifth layer, saw that he, a third-layer Foundation Establishment Cultivator, held such a precious treasure, yet not a hint of greed emerged.

Although the shopkeeper would undoubtedly lose in a fight against him, according to common sense, a fifth-layer Foundation Establishment Cultivator should easily overpower a third-layer one.

One could only say that the professional Daoist was full.

As his gaze fell upon the storage ring, a large pile of Spirit Stones came into view, and a rough estimate revealed there were over eight thousand of them.

"Tsk!"

Chen Qiu's face lit up with satisfaction, as he noticed among the pile of Spirit Stones, twenty-four milky white ones with denser Spirit Energy, which were undoubtedly Intermediate-grade Spirit Stones.

A single Intermediate-grade Spirit Stone was worth a hundred Inferior-grade ones.

These twenty-four Intermediate-grade Spirit Stones were equivalent to 2,400 Inferior-grade Spirit Stones.

However, their actual value was equivalent to over 10,000 Inferior-grade Spirit Stones.

Although a single Intermediate-grade Spirit Stone contained a hundred times more Spirit Energy than an Inferior-grade one, in many cases, like when setting up arrays, the array eye must be placed with an Intermediate-grade Spirit Stone, and it was impossible to substitute it with hundreds of Inferior-grade ones.

Therefore, the actual exchange rate was much higher.

As expected of a Golden Core Poison Cultivator's storage ring, there were approximately 14,000 Spirit Stones, more than the combined total of all the Ten Thousand Toxins Sect disciples and Demon Race Cultivators' storage rings.

He had already emptied his pockets for Liu Zide's plan, but these storage rings instantly brought him 18,000 Inferior-grade Spirit Stones and twenty-four Intermediate-grade ones.

A night of feasting.

This was almost as much as he had earned from continuously establishing his foundation 999 times in the wilderness outside Fufeng City.

A satisfying feast.

"The ancient saying, 'Kill and burn, and you'll get a golden belt,' is indeed true."

Chen Qiu's divine sense, filled with satisfaction, continued to delve deeper into the storage ring. He found some spare clothes and some unfamiliar-looking but seemingly dangerous poisonous herbs.

The herbs were so dark they were almost glowing, adorned with purple spots, and didn't seem safe at all.

He'd ask the scholar about them when he returned; there was a whole pile of them.

However, these herbs probably weren't very valuable. He noticed that there were also several jade boxes containing medicinal herbs, which looked more precious, and many porcelain bottles filled with pills.

Some he recognized, and some he hadn't heard of.

"Qi Supplement Pill," "Cultivation Pill," "Three Corpses Brain Spirit Pill," "Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pill," "Bloodthirsty Choke Pill," "One Grass Eye-Clearing Pill," "Five Toxins Inhibition Pill," and so on.

Although he didn't understand them all, he could clearly distinguish that some were poison pills.

These pills were of high quality, and even if he didn't need them, selling them would bring a substantial fortune.

"Hmm?"

Chen Qiu's eyes narrowed suddenly as his divine sense paused at a jade slip on a short platform within the storage ring. On it were five large characters: "Nine Toxins Dark Soul Technique."

The jade slip emitted a familiar glow!

It was a product of the Celestial Path Secret Realm, and once mastered, it would lead to perfection!

Moreover, it was a top-grade Foundation Establishment Spell.

At the same time, he also spotted something he had used before in the storage space—an Enlightenment Stone, which could advance any chosen cultivation technique to the peak of perfection!

As his divine sense touched the "Nine Toxins Dark Soul Technique," a message from the heavens seemed to echo in his mind.

"To learn this technique..."

"One must first immerse themselves in the Nine Toxins Elixir for twelve hours and personally kill three hundred and thirty people who have committed the Seven Sins."

"Otherwise, the toxins will erode the divine soul, leading to instant death, beyond salvation even for immortals."

---

Chen Qiu felt the message in his mind, and his mouth slowly widened in astonishment. His divine sense scanned the interior of the storage ring as he muttered, "Damn, this time I've really hit the jackpot. I hope it doesn't shorten my lifespan, right?"

According to the information in his mind, the Seven Sins were the seven sins of Buddhism: killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, divisive speech, harsh speech, and idle speech.

Moreover, the message from the heavens informed him that he had already fulfilled this condition.

In other words,

At some unknown time, he had already killed three hundred and thirty people who had committed the Seven Sins.

To commit all seven sins was, to be honest, a challenging feat for an ordinary person.

So, if things went as expected, and his guess was correct, the three hundred and thirty people he had killed for committing the Seven Sins were none other than the three hundred-plus disciples of the Ten Thousand Toxins Sect in the Toxin Thunder Swamp. However, he had initially thought they were disciples sent by the Ten Thousand Toxins Sect for training.

It seems that there's more to this than meets the eye.

Without going into details, it's quite a challenge for the Ten Thousand Toxins Sect disciples to guarantee that every member has committed the Seven Sins.

Chen Qiu's Divine Sense swept through the storage space, past the poisonous herbs, pills, Enlightenment Stones, and the Heaven's Path Secret Realm's talismans. It was evident that the Poison Thunder Old Ghost had spent countless years gathering these items.

Just as he was about to reach the pinnacle of his divine abilities...

A Nascent Soul-stage malevolent spirit, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, charged into the Poison Thunder Swamp without a word and viciously beat the Poison Thunder Old Ghost to death within the swamp.

Years of accumulation were snatched away just when success was within reach.

And the one who did this was none other than Chen Qiu himself.

"Huff!"

Chen Qiu took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with a hint of fervor. To be honest, he quite liked this Nine Toxins Dark Soul Technique, which could be considered a relatively legal spell for cultivators.

The common attack methods of poison cultivators are various spells, similar to spellcasters. Compared to spellcasters, poison cultivators tend to favor spells with toxic attributes.

Nine Toxins Dark Soul Technique

A Superior-grade Foundation Establishment spell.

Upon probing the jade slip with his Divine Sense, Chen Qiu quickly grasped the basic information about this technique.

When casting it...

The overflowing Spirit Energy from the body will be transformed into a toxic, green fiend flame. Upon contact, the protective Spirit Shield will be instantly corroded, leaving the enemy's body riddled with holes. The enemy will then suffer in agony as bone marrow maggots devour them, eventually dissolving into a pool of green, viscous flesh.

The more abundant the internal Spirit Energy, the more green fiend flames can be produced.

Even if the enemy has a higher cultivation level and their Spirit Shield cannot be corroded, the toxicity of the green fiend flames can directly burn their Divine Soul. The flames will flow against the protective Spirit Energy, surging upwards towards the Divine Soul.

Without corresponding means to protect the Divine Soul, the enemy will grow weaker with each attack until their Divine Soul is completely eroded, leaving behind an empty shell of a body.

A truly bizarre yet powerful spell.

Upon reaching the Great Profound Realm, the malevolent spirits you carry will obey your commands when you release this spell, hovering over the fiend flames to increase their speed and intensity. Simultaneously, they will emit intermittent wails of vengeful spirits in the enemy's ears, creating a faint illusion.

When the Daoist spells reach their peak...

Hundreds of mesmerizing emerald fiend flames will effortlessly destroy any approaching enemies in the darkness of night.

Making the enemies feel the true meaning of fear.

A true Nether Hell.

Attacking the body, the mind, and the soul.

"Excellent."

Chen Qiu nodded in satisfaction. This would be his second primary attack spell, finally diversifying his offensive capabilities.

With the Enlightenment Stone and all other materials ready, he had almost nothing to prepare.

He could just pick up the items at the scene.

He was so eager to start cultivating that he immediately withdrew his Divine Sense from the storage ring, stood up, and left the courtyard outside the disciple dormitory. He woke up Fat Dragon.

He was ready to start the fire and brew the Nine Toxins Bath.

After understanding the Poison Thunder Old Ghost's intentions, the pills and medicinal ingredients by his side became instantly clear.

They were nine different toxins, along with some neutralizing herbs, and various toxin-relieving pills for emergencies. They were properly arranged, and the jade slip from the Celestial Path Secret Realm would guide him on which toxins to put into the vat, following a standard procedure.

"Good, you've prepared everything quite thoroughly."

Soon, steam began to rise from the large vat as the water heated up. Chen Qiu waved his sleeve, and Spirit Energy extinguished the flames. Then, he stripped off his clothes and jumped into the vat, not adding the toxins right away. Instead, he turned to Fat Dragon and instructed him seriously.

"Keep an eye on me. If I faint or encounter any accidents, the toxin-relieving pills are there. Just pour them into my mouth."

"Do you understand?"

PS: Recommend this old man's book.

"I've had enough of those transmigrators!"

"They think they're the protagonists, but they're just parasites!"

"They were originally mediocre, yet they dare to disrupt the order of the multiverse with their golden fingers!"

"But this won't last long."

"Soon, they'll realize that I am the calamity of all transmigrators in the multiverse!"

Sun Xingzhe believed that repatriating transmigrators only required three steps.

First, obtain their golden fingers.

Second, find the brat who is running amok.

Third, decide whether to repatriate them alive or as a corpse!
