Chapter 450: Scourge

As for spirit liquid, he didn't seem to have any on him either. If he kept buying it outside, that would also be a huge expense.

He could barely feed them, but if he could achieve self-sufficiency, that would be the best.

And subconsciously, he still hoped to leave some Shock-Spirit Cicadas for his family, because he already had Purple Crystal Scorpions.

Shock-Spirit Cicadas were a bit redundant and repetitive for him, but if he left them for his family, it would be different. For their safety, it would be a huge guarantee.

As for capturing the Shock-Spirit Cicadas, he wasn't worried at all, because he had the Heaven-Defending Soul Shield. Now, these Shock-Spirit Cicadas basically had no threat to him.

As long as he could find them, he would definitely be able to catch them. After all, he still had the Purple Crystal Scorpions to help, so catching Shock-Spirit Cicadas shouldn't be a piece of cake.

It was just unknown whether they could be successfully contracted. If not, he could only feed them second-stage Demon-Alluring Grass to see if they would mate and lay eggs.

After thinking clearly about the matters concerning the Shock-Spirit Cicada, Lin Zhangqing began to deal with the corpses of the demonic beasts he had harvested today.

The twenty-three Gale Wolves hunted this morning, plus the portion of demon beasts encountered on the way here today, provided him with a total of twenty-eight demon cores.

Plus the twelve obtained yesterday, he now had forty demon cores in his hands, which could be considered a good start!

After all, this quantity was enough to exchange for the departure mark certificate from the secret realm and the demon cores to instill three layers of cultivation into himself.

If it were on someone else, the purpose of participating in the secret realm this time could be considered perfectly completed!

As long as these demon cores were put into the sacrifice formation, and then he found a safe place to hide and wait for the trial to end, that would be it!

Unfortunately, this was not what Lin Zhangqing was pursuing. He still had Chen Zi Ya to take care of, and he was still thinking about making an effort to see if he could obtain the final great opportunity!

After processing all the demon beast corpses, he took out the two storage bags harvested from the thieving bald donkey of the Red Lotus Temple today.

He was still a little curious about that thieving bald donkey. At the very least, the defensive power on this person was strong enough, and Lin Zhangqing also suspected that he should have also cultivated body-refining techniques.

Otherwise, it was impossible that the third Geng Metal Divine Thunder clearly hit his body, but in the end, he was unscathed.

Although it was said that the Kasaya on his body should also be a defensive spiritual artifact, it had obviously been destroyed! The remaining power of the divine thunder should still have been able to blast his body into pieces.

So that thieving bald donkey very likely should have succeeded in body refining. Lin Zhangqing wanted to find some insights and experiences regarding body refining in these two storage bags.

It didn't take much time for the two storage bags, and he finished refining them. Lin Zhangqing picked up one and checked it.

He discovered that it contained the corpses of seven or eight second-stage demon beasts. Lin Zhangqing took a look, and all the demon cores had been taken out.

The things in the other storage bag were also very neat: several hundred mid-grade spirit stones, a dozen bottles of various pills. It seemed like these sect disciples had all agreed. In terms of spiritual artifacts, there weren't too many either, just two precept knives and one soul-summoning bell. However, to be honest, Lin Zhangqing really didn't take a fancy to these spiritual artifacts.

There were quite a few jade boxes, but basically many were empty, and only two had things inside.

One jade box contained eight demon cores, among which two were mid-stage and six were early-stage demon cores.

The other jade box contained three second-stage Seven-Star Grasses, with complete roots, and the soil brought was also quite fresh. There would be no problem planting them alive, and he would transplant them into the inner space later! Seven-Star Grass was a good thing; it was the main medicine for the second-stage Seven-Star Obstacle-Breaking Pill. Selling each plant for eight or nine thousand spirit stones certainly wouldn't be a problem! After he refined them himself later, they would definitely sell for a good price, and they were worth cultivating with care.

Subsequently, he also found a red identity jade token, which looked like it was already covered in cracks. After thinking about it slightly, he put it together with the Ghost Controlling Sect identity jade token from yesterday, and would hand them all to Chen Zi Ya later, letting her go exchange them for sect contribution points!

Jade slips were found, which gave Lin Zhangqing a little expectation. Subsequently, he took one and placed it on his forehead, directly looking at it.

Unexpectedly, this was a jade slip introducing the trial secret realm. Adding this one in his hand, he already had three in total! He was very speechless in his heart, but still put it away casually.

He changed to another one and continued to look. This one was interesting. The content inside was actually the cultivation method "Joyous Great Buddha Sutra".

He had heard a little bit about this cultivation method, as if it were an evil cultivation method of plucking yin to supplement yang. In order to verify whether it was true or false.

Lin Zhangqing took a rough look. It was indeed a one-sided plucking and supplementing cultivation method. The woman would completely become a cauldron.

Although the woman might obtain the highest enjoyment when cultivating, it would damage the foundation, and not long after, the cauldron would die!

Lin Zhangqing shook his head while watching. This completely belonged to an evil technique. He crushed the jade slip without hesitation. It was better not to keep this thing, to avoid harming future generations!

Subsequently, he continued to pick up the last jade slip and checked it. This one was the thing Lin Zhangqing was looking for!

The thieving bald donkey's cultivation notes. Lin Zhangqing was more interested in this, so he read it seriously.

He finally knew that the thieving bald donkey cultivated the "Red Lotus Vajra Sutra", which was a cultivation method that cultivated both internally and externally.

Externally refining skin, flesh, tendons, and bones, internally refining Vajra mana, and the mana cultivated could also complement external techniques, playing a role in assisting body refining.

Judging from Lin Zhangqing's experience of cultivating two Heaven-Grade cultivation methods, the "Red Lotus Vajra Sutra" could be considered a very brilliant cultivation method! If he had to grade it, the "Red Lotus Vajra Sutra" should be considered an Earth-Grade cultivation method, and it was also a relatively powerful one among Earth-Grade cultivation methods.

This cultivation method, as long as the cultivator had any one of metal, fire, or earth spirit roots, or multiple, they could cultivate it.

This cultivation technique can be practiced by any cultivator who possesses a metal, fire, or earth spirit root, whether it be one of them or several.

In the end, if one truly succeeds in practicing it, the path taken is that of achieving Buddhahood through the physical body. However, it is a pity that no specific cultivation technique was found, only a few words and phrases! There were only some notes from a bald donkey regarding the problems encountered from entry until now, as well as the methods for solving them, which also allowed Lin Zhangqing to learn about some external refinement methods.

It can be considered to have a little bit of reference value for him, but it is not too significant; his main method of body refining is the internal refinement method, so the reference value is not great.
