Chapter 94: Striped Golden Dragonfish, Obtaining Divine Sense!

On a rainy night, Su Ping directed his Spirit Beasts to begin clearing the scene, and after packing up everything belonging to the two evil cultivators.

He also put the corpses to good use by throwing them into the Burial Ground.

As for the corpses of the victims that this male and female pair of evil cultivators had buried in the backyard of the house.

Su Ping chose to set a fire and burn them clean to avoid them being used by bad people again.

Afterwards, regarding the handling of the Spirit Mouse on these evil cultivators.

Su Ping pondered for a moment and chose to take it back to the Pot Heaven to be a slave mouse.

As for bringing it out to the outside world, that was impossible.

A Spirit Mouse that had already transcended, and was only halfway contracted at that, it was hard to say if there might be even a tiny, minuscule possibility of it turning on him.

In any case, he was not short of Spirit Mice to use.

If he really needed to expand his scale, Water Blue Star had plenty of spiritual rats of all kinds waiting for him to choose from.

However... what was the background of these evil cultivators, that they were worthy of using the same Spirit Mouse as him!

For these Loose Cultivators who could not join an Immortal Sect, Spirit Mice were certainly not cheap goods!

Su Ping returned to the Pot Heaven before opening the Storage Bag to conduct a thorough inspection.

Through the Jade Slip left behind by the other party and by using Spirit Mouse Xiaobai to control and read the memory fragments of their personal Spirit Mouse, he discovered that these two evil cultivators actually belonged to a small evil cultivator organization that worshipped an evil god.

This organization had seven members in total.

At first, they were just a Loose Cultivator organization that had sworn brotherhood and huddled together for warmth.

Relying on unity against outsiders, they had gotten by quite well for the previous few decades, and their homes had gained many fields and hired laborers.

It was only with the outbreak of the Evil Qi Tide.

The hometown of these seven people encountered natural and man-made disasters, and they refused to be recruited by the City Lord Mansion, so they simply fled together.

Then, after their leader obtained a Jade Slip and began acting all mysterious.

Not long after, all seven of these people became believers of the evil god.

They hid everywhere and committed crimes frequently, all to harvest human internal organs to offer to that unknown evil god.

"I didn't expect it to be a gang operation!"

"And it even involves an evil god behind the scenes!"

"Not good, I killed two of their capable lieutenants this time; they will definitely come to my Jinque City to take revenge!"

"Given the style of evil cultivators, if they can't find the White Crane Boy I left behind, they might just stir up one or two major incidents."

"In case they have some other secret methods, suspect me, and then try to plot against me..."

Su Ping frowned slightly, realizing that the matter was not simple.

Putting down the Jade Slip, Su Ping stood up and returned to the Cultivation World.

Then, his figure flashed, and he took advantage of the night to continue galloping into the depths of the darkness through the rain.

Su Ping prepared to take precautions, striking first to leave the other side with no hands to play!

Inside an old village in the mountains hundreds of kilometers outside Jinque City.

Flocks of crows perched on the eaves and walls of the old village.

They did not speak, nor did they flap their wings, but simply stared at the largest wooden house in the village from time to time, carrying a trace of longing.

The ground of the village had long been covered with dark red Dharma Arrays.

Inside the wooden house at the center of the Dharma Array.

A bald, burly man dressed as a monk was using putrid internal organs to sacrifice to a wooden statue.

Suddenly, the bald, burly man felt a pain in his heart, then pain again.

With a "wa" sound, he vomited two clumps of blackened flesh and blood from his mouth.

As soon as the flesh and blood hit the ground, they became two tiny people, a male and a female, crying "wa wa" and saying some messy, unintelligible vocabulary.

The bald, burly man listened for a while, his face flushed red as he said:

"Second Brother, Third Sister, rest assured!"

"Big Brother will definitely avenge you!"

After the bald, burly man finished speaking, he continued to mutter incantations.

Suddenly, the bald, burly man's expression changed slightly, as he had sensed the final sensations of his two accomplices at the moment of their deaths through his Evil Art.

They... had actually died with such lightning speed that they hadn't even sensed the other party's Dharma Power fluctuations or shadow?

What kind of situation was this?

How was he supposed to take revenge now!

Other than the location of their deaths, he knew nothing!

And most crucially, this bald, burly Big Brother felt sweat on his forehead as he realized that he probably wasn't a match for a cultivator with such methods either.

Although he was also an evil cultivator, he was able to be the leader of evil cultivators.

When facing matters other than the evil god, he still had some judgment and intelligence.

So he looked at the two bloody little people and silently recited:

"It's just that now is the critical moment for the sacrifice to the Great Existence, and I, your Big Brother, cannot leave."

"But you can go in peace; once the sacrifice is successful, I will definitely let the Great Existence eat your enemy! Let them fall into the sea of suffering for all eternity!"

After speaking, the bald, burly Big Brother stopped chanting.

Without the support of Dharma Power, the bloody little people completely dissolved into blood water.

"The situation has changed; I must summon the other brothers and sisters back immediately."

The bald, burly Big Brother thought for a while and made his decision.

He had just begun to burn incense and pray.

Bang!

Bang! Bang!

A loud noise erupted outside the mountain village!

The bald leader was slightly startled, and immediately felt a pain strike his chest.

He realized at once that his fourth and fifth brothers, who were out delivering goods, must have been attacked!

But... how could this be? How was this hidden stronghold discovered!

This was a mortal realm with thin Spirit Qi, and this old mountain village had been closed off for years; even the local City Lord Mansion no longer had any records of it!

This was also a major reason why they chose this location!

Seeing that something was wrong, the bald leader was just about to leave quickly.

Bang!

He heard the loud noise again.

Then, half of the man's head vanished, and his entire body slumped limply onto the Altar.

At the same time, the crows in the mountain village rioted in unison, flapping their wings as they rose into the sky.

Caw! Caw! Caw!

The crows turned into a black cloud, swooping toward the small hillside outside the mountain village.

Over there, on the ground a thousand meters away, Su Ping, disguised as the White Crane Boy, released his Heavy Sniper Rifle and looked up at the flock of crows.

With his super-strong five senses, combined with a Heavy Sniper Rifle, hitting these Robber Cultivators—who relied on strange evil arts but only possessed the strength of the early Qi Refining stage—was simply a dimensional strike.

As for these crows infected by Evil Qi...

Su Ping gave a disdainful smile, and after putting the sniper rifle back, in a flash—

He abruptly turned and ran into the dense forest.

By the time the crows rushed to the hillside, Su Ping had long since run to a place further away.

The crows cawed as they chased after Su Ping incessantly.

Yet they could not keep up with Su Ping's speed at all; instead, as their stamina failed, they fell to the ground in a frenzy and lost their lives.

Su Ping ran circle after circle around the mountain village, directly exhausting the crows that followed him to death.

The few that slipped through the net were also shot dead directly!

From beginning to end, Su Ping never touched these objects or creatures that had been infected with Evil Qi.

He was also quite cautious regarding these corpses, merely driving the large rats to collect them, pile them into a small hill, and then burn them with fire.

During this process, Su Ping silently consumed a Pill, relying on the medicinal power to cultivate while waiting, not in a hurry.

Once the fire had burned away the crow corpses, he sent the rats into the mountain village to bring back the Storage Bag of the bald man who was clearly the leader.

Su Ping had no intention of stepping into that mountain village at all.

After obtaining the Storage Bag, Su Ping began to have the rats throw Incendiary Bottles toward the old mountain village.

Following that, he raised his gun and fired from far away to ignite them!

The mountain village turned into a sea of fire.

Amidst the sea of fire, the floor of the wooden house suddenly ruptured.

A phantom image of a tree demon, over thirty meters long, suddenly burst from the ground and let out a painful howl toward the sky.

"Is this the evil entity that these Robber Cultivators worship?"

"It's just a phantom... a projection of this level can be dispelled as long as the foundation of the sacrifice is destroyed."

Thinking of this, Su Ping took out the Heavy Sniper Rifle again to wait for the prey to come to him.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before the two remaining members of the seven sensed the boiling of the flesh and blood within their bodies, even though they knew there might be danger.

They still could not resist the urging of the evil entity and were forced to rush over through the heavy rain like madmen.

And then, before they could even finish running out of the mountain forest to see the old mountain village billowing with fire and smoke.

These two Robber Cultivators were also turned into headless corpses by the long-range sniping.

With this, the group of Robber Cultivators encountered by accident was wiped out by Su Ping in a single night.

Ending their sinful lives!

Su Ping watched as the phantom, lacking believers and a sacrificial foundation, gradually disappeared into the Rain Technique.

He couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

He could consider this a future crisis resolved in advance!

After cleaning up the battlefield and browsing through the memory fragments of the rats in the Jinque City area during this period once more.

After confirming that no strange things appeared in the details.

Only then did Su Ping return to Linyue Villa to continue being his Inspector.

Perhaps because the recruitment order of the Immortal Sect had some effect.

As the heavy rain stopped completely two days later.

The territory of the Immortal Sect seemed to have regained its vitality and peace.

The Immortal Sect, having gained fresh reinforcements, stabilized its defensive line against the Demon Beasts.

Some of the Evil Spirits that had emerged were also wiped out and then Sealed by a Great Ability who had freed up their hands.

After the Immortal Boat of the Patrol Envoy struck down several teams of Robber Cultivators, the rest became as silent as cicadas in winter.

The elders in some wealthy households wore smiles again, shouting that the good days were coming back!

However, as Su Ping watched the endless stream of caravans continuing to head to the Market or overseas, he understood in his heart that what was before them was merely the calm before the storm.

Days passed by just like that.

Su Ping also had a rare period of peaceful and leisurely fishing days.

During this period, the fishing attempts at Linyue Lake and Dong-qu-shui-ku refreshed three times.

After Xuangui Island also accumulated enough for two fishing attempts, Su Ping used them all up in one go.

This allowed Su Ping to gain 520 points of Fishing Experience:

【Current Fishing Level: Level 4 (980/2000)】

During these few fishing sessions, Su Ping also performed several ten-pulls, but they only yielded some items that were temporarily useless.

However, Mao-wu from the Travel Shop suddenly left after two weeks, replaced by a chubby pig-headed merchant.

Su Ping subsequently discovered that Experience Books usable by partners had been updated in the Travel Shop.

Using these Experience Books can increase the cultivation of Partner Cards.

However, it only involves cultivation; unless they are star-upgraded, Partner Cards will not gain new abilities even if raised to the Foundation Establishment or Golden Core stages.

Su Ping tried spending 10 Fishing Coins to buy a bottle for that Psychic Civet.

He discovered that the Psychic Civet's body size grew a little bit, and it also ran faster.

Unfortunately, White Crane Boy is just a puppet and cannot consume experience potions; he can only rely on star-upgrading for comprehensive improvement.

As for the apprentice fox-masked Shrine Maiden.

In Su Ping's eyes, she is currently just a qualified tool for bestowing blessings.

Furthermore, although he did not obtain any rare catches at the First Tier fishing spot.

He had a surprise on Xuangui Island, obtaining a rare catch from this Second-tier Fishing Spot: the Flowing Pattern Golden Dragon Fish!

【Flowing Pattern Golden Dragon Fish, Quality: Rare, meat is extremely delicious, edible, consuming it can slightly improve Divine Soul talent, can be kept in the Pot Heaven to slightly increase Spirit Qi output!】

Inside the Pot Heaven, Su Ping looked at the Flowing Pattern Golden Dragon Fish and hesitated slightly.

Su Ping already knew that the slight increase in Spirit Qi output was only an addition of 10.

For the Huzhong Dong, this level is no longer significant, and even if he wanted to upgrade, it wouldn't be very high.

As for improving Divine Soul talent.

Su Ping already knew from the Red Blood Rainbow Carp how satisfying this slight improvement in talent was.

In the end, Su Ping decided that eating it to strengthen himself was more important.

He chose to eat this Flowing Pattern Golden Dragon Fish.

After the Flowing Pattern Golden Dragon Fish was summoned by Su Ping, it was quite small, only the size of a little finger.

If not for its whole body shining with Golden Light, and having horns on its head and dragon scales on its belly.

It would be hard to believe this catch deserves the name "dragon"!

He swallowed it in one bite.

Su Ping immediately understood that the evaluation of "extremely delicious" was not wrong at all.

It melted in his mouth, neither too sweet nor greasy, yet it made every cell in his body, and even his soul, feel immensely satisfied!

Boom!

Su Ping felt his Divine Soul growing and transforming.

Then, it violently transformed into Divine Sense, allowing him to suddenly have a clear grasp of everything within ten meters, including the sky and the underground!

He also had a certain ability to sense things beyond a hundred meters.

It looked inferior to a great Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

But... Su Ping is still at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer!

A Cultivator at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer possessing Divine Sense!

This is simply unheard of in the history of the Immortal Sect!

Who among the Outer Sect Disciples doesn't know that Divine Sense is only attained when the Divine Soul is sublimated upon breaking through from Qi Refining Great Perfection to Foundation Establishment.

Yet Su Ping now possessed Divine Sense just by catching a Flowing Pattern Golden Dragon Fish and eating it!

And Su Ping could feel that this Divine Sense would strengthen as his Divine Soul grew stronger!

When he reaches Foundation Establishment, it will surge again!

Which means his Divine Sense will always be significantly stronger than those cultivators at the same realm who lack such opportunities!

This is excellent news.

After Su Ping had Divine Sense, he discovered that besides being used for detection and having a clear grasp of things.

It could also be used to conceal his Dharma Power fluctuations and aura.

As long as the other party's Divine Sense is not stronger than his own, they generally cannot detect his disguise.

In this way, if he only deals with Inner Sect Disciples at the level of the Immortal Boat Patrol Envoy.

Even without the help of Memory Illusion, he could disguise his aura and not fear the fact that his cultivation had long since advanced by leaps and bounds being discovered.

"With this, I am truly invincible below Foundation Establishment!"

Su Ping contemplated the continuous benefits brought by the Flowing Pattern Golden Dragon Fish.

After he finished familiarizing himself with the wonders of Divine Sense, he returned from the Pot Heaven to the Cultivation World.
