Chapter 25: Phantom Demon Transformation Art, a Treasure from a Robber Cultivator

After listening to these gossips, Zhou Sui walked into his own quiet room and took out three Storage Bags from his body, all obtained from the Miyun Three Evils.

After spending some time thoroughly erasing the imprints on the three Storage Bags, he swept them with his Spiritual Sense and instantly perceived the many items inside.

"There are actually so many treasures?"

Zhou Sui widened his eyes, secretly astonished.

First were the cultivation methods obtained by the Miyun Three Evils, such as Changqing Jue, Golden Origin Art, Wind Spirit Art, Thick Earth Art, Water Source Art, etc., all of which were relatively basic Qi Refining stage cultivation methods.

At most, they could only be cultivated to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer.

But if sold, each cultivation method would be worth two to three hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Besides these cultivation methods, there were also many techniques, such as Body Protection Technique, Cold Ice Technique, Spring Breeze Turns to Rain Technique, Fireball Technique, Wind Blade Technique, Flying Sword Technique, and so on.

In short, these cultivation methods and techniques added up to at least over a hundred volumes.

Undoubtedly, these things could not have been bought by the Miyun Three Evils; they must have been obtained from other Cultivators when they robbed and killed them.

Because they had robbed and killed so many Cultivators, over time, they had acquired many cultivation methods and techniques.

To a certain extent, they had almost acquired the foundation of an ordinary Cultivator family.

If these cultivation methods and techniques were sold, they would be worth at least several thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, or even tens of thousands of Low-grade Spirit Stones, which could be described as invaluable.

Possessing these basic cultivation methods, one could also start an ordinary Cultivator family.

"There are actually so many Pills and Spirit Stones as well."

Zhou Sui continued to investigate.

He discovered that the Pills inside the Storage Bags included eighteen bottles of Yellow Dragon Pill, and each bottle of Yellow Dragon Pill was worth five hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones; it was conceivable that the Yellow Dragon Pills alone were worth nine thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Besides these, there were also Qi Replenishing Pills, Detoxification Pills, True Origin Pills, and other Pills, which were also worth several thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.

However, there were not many Spirit Stones, at most only a few hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones.

In all likelihood, the Spirit Stones had all been converted into various Pills by them.

But even so, one could see from these things just how wealthy the Miyun Three Evils were.

They were clearly only Qi Refining Seventh Layer Cultivators; normally, it would be impossible to obtain so many Spirit Stones and Pills, and their net worth would be at most a few thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Yet, these three Cultivators combined possessed a fortune of twenty to thirty thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.

So one could imagine just how many Loose Cultivators these Miyun Three Evils had robbed and killed, and how many times they had committed murder for money.

Even tearing them into ten thousand pieces would not be excessive.

"It's no wonder so many people become Robber Cultivators; the money comes in too fast."

Zhou Sui also secretly marveled.

But the risks of being a Robber Cultivator were also great; if one accidentally kicked an iron plate, one would be counter-killed by the opponent.

Years of accumulation would be destroyed in an instant.

The Miyun Three Evils were just like this; they had run rampant for over a decade, only to have the bad luck of encountering him, resulting in their deaths—this was the fate of a Robber Cultivator.

Perhaps they would win a few times, but sooner or later, they would die.

It was similar to a gambler; they might win in the middle, but the result was always losing.

"They were certainly well-prepared to be Robber Cultivators."

Zhou Sui's mouth twitched.

He also saw in the Storage Bags the Corpse Dissolving Powder used to destroy evidence, the Soul Severing Smoke that could knock out other Cultivators, and even the Five Poison Water that was poisonous upon contact.

In short, to kill their enemies, they would stop at nothing.

Fortunately, he had wiped out the Miyun Three Evils from a distance.

If he had really gotten close to them, he might have been counter-killed by their various methods.

"As expected, long-range attacks are reliable; who would engage in close-quarters combat with you?"

Seeing these vicious methods, Zhou Sui was also terrified; indeed, every Robber Cultivator was not simple, and no one knew how many trump cards they still had.

But no matter how many trump cards they had, facing the power of the Dream Soul Gu, they were still vulnerable.

Before they could even use these methods, they were instantly killed.

From this perspective, it could be considered that one thing subdues another.

"However, the most valuable thing should be this secret manual."

At this very moment, Zhou Sui noticed one of the secret manuals.

At this time, his gaze was fixed on one of the secret manuals, and the cover of the book read "Phantom Demon Transformation Art"; undoubtedly, this was a top-tier auxiliary Demonic Cultivation Method.

He studied it carefully and discovered that this cultivation method could change one's physique and appearance into another form.

If cultivated to a profound level, one could also hide one's cultivation base and change one's aura, making oneself completely transform into another person.

Why were the Miyun Three Evils able to run rampant for over a decade without being killed by other Cultivators?

Besides their cautious conduct, the most important thing was this Demonic Cultivation Method.

In the past, the Miyun Three Evils were merely small Loose Cultivators, insignificant Cultivators; later, by accident, they found a relic Cave Abode of a Demonic Cultivator that had existed for at least several hundred years.

As a result, they found this Demonic Cultivation Method, "Phantom Demon Transformation Art," from this Cave Abode.

Relying on this cultivation method, they could transform into the appearance of different people and change the aura on their bodies.

So even though Miyun City had once issued a warrant for them, they were still able to swagger into Miyun City, and no one could know which one was their true self.

If it weren't for Zhou Sui personally taking action this time and killing them instantly, they would likely have been able to run rampant for several more decades.

"If I can successfully cultivate this technique and combine it with my Clone Gu, wouldn't that be like adding wings to a tiger?"

"By then, the clone can transform into someone else's appearance to sell Spirit Wine, and no one will be able to track my origins."

Zhou Sui's eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt very excited inside.

He felt that obtaining this cultivation method was simply a gift from heaven; his luck was truly too good.

Thinking of this, he did not hesitate and immediately tried to cultivate this technique.

…………

Three hours later.

"Damn it, what kind of bullshit technique is this? Why can't I learn it at all?!"

Zhou Sui clenched his fists, gritting his teeth.

Although he had obtained this technique, he discovered that no matter what, he was unable to reach Beginner level.

Clearly, wanting to learn this technique was not that simple.

The Miyun Three Evils of the past had also spent ten years just to barely reach Beginner level in this technique.

And as for him, wanting to learn this technique in a short amount of time was simply wishful thinking.

"As expected, I am no genius; I am just an ordinary person."

Zhou Sui felt very depressed.

Originally, he had thought that after possessing an Eighth Grade Spirit Root, his comprehension and cultivation aptitude would have improved significantly, and perhaps he would be able to learn all kinds of techniques and spells on his own.

But looking at it now, he had still overestimated his Spirit Root aptitude; even with an Eighth Grade Spirit Root, it was merely a low-grade Spirit Root, still belonging to the bottom tier of Cultivators, not worth mentioning.
