Chapter 41: The Harvest of the First [Slay Demons and Eliminate Devils]

Host: Yan Taibai

Gender: Male

Spirit Root: Metal Attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root

Age: Ten years old

Status: Childhood stage

Realm: Foundation Establishment Early Stage

【First immortal cultivation simulation completed: Reward: Metal Attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root】

【Second immortal cultivation simulation completed: Reward: "White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash"】

【Third immortal cultivation simulation requirement: Slay Demons and Eliminate Devils. Progress: 2.02/100. Additional supernatural ability: Sin Eye. Sin requirement: sixty】

Seeing the changes to the panel, Yan Taibai felt more and more that this was produced by a budget e-commerce platform.

But upon second thought, it really was. How could a Qi Refining stage cultivator compare to a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator of the same rank as him?

It's just that for a Qi Refining Thirteenth Layer cultivator, isn't the progress value gained a bit too little?

But regardless, it is useful in the end.

Moreover, since Qi Refining stage cultivators are useful, there is no need to focus solely on finding Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

Compared to Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, there are far more Qi Refining stage cultivators.

What's more, he even knows of an "evil cultivator nest" with at least several hundred Qi Refining stage evil cultivators; this could also increase the progress significantly.

There is also one or even several Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. However, since they are numerous and powerful, he still needs to plan carefully.

It's just right to practice on some Qi Refining stage evil cultivators first.

Just as Yan Taibai was thinking about his follow-up plans, a voice of exclamation and surprise rang out abruptly.

"Junior Brother Li, this sword technique supernatural ability is truly formidable; I, your senior brother, have never even heard of it."

Before the words had even faded, the figure of Liu Jing had already appeared a hundred zhang away from Yan Taibai, his eyes filled with a hint of surprise and wariness.

Although he had reached Foundation Establishment earlier than Yan Taibai, that sword strike just now made him feel that no matter what means or methods he used, it would be difficult to contend with.

After all, even a Vajra light shield formed by a Primary Intermediate Grade Talisman could be shattered with a single strike; this level of destructive power truly horrified him.

Who knows if this was just a casual strike from Yan Taibai? If it was a casual strike, then that would be truly formidable.

Liu Jing thought about it carefully; he would likely not be an opponent nine times out of ten.

After all, Yan Taibai must still have other supernatural abilities and Top-tier Magical Tools, so Liu Jing had only one thought: it is not advisable to be an enemy!

"It was merely a single sword beam, Senior Brother Liu is too kind with his praise."

Hearing this, Yan Taibai raised his eyes to look into the distance at Liu Jing, who had a hint of wariness in his gaze, and said with a humble, light laugh.

After speaking, he flicked his sleeve, and golden radiance surged from the cuff, like a large hand, scooping the Storage Bags from the two people whose corpses had been separated on the ground into his hand.

At the same time, he destroyed the corpses of the two to leave no trace.

This was to avoid the mortals of the Zhang Mansion doing anything; it was not unheard of for mortals to treat the flesh and blood of cultivators as medicine for longevity. It's just that their ends were never very good.

Furthermore, just as he was about to throw one to Liu Jing, he was refused.

"No need. These two Demonic Path evil cultivators were both slain by Junior Brother Li, so these Storage Bags naturally belong to you, Junior Brother. Now that the evil cultivators have been eliminated, if Junior Brother Li has any other clues or news, feel free to notify me. No matter where I am, as long as I receive news from you, I will certainly arrive at the first moment. Farewell!"

After Liu Jing finished speaking, he bowed slightly and turned into an escape light, fleeing far away toward the outside of Shuanghe City.

Seeing this, Yan Taibai naturally would not try to keep him, but instead spoke toward the Zhang Mansion below.

"The disaster has been removed, you may come out."

The voice was not loud, but it fell into the ears of Zhang Erhe, the head of the Zhang Mansion.

He immediately pushed the door open and bowed respectfully to Yan Taibai in mid-air, full of gratitude.

"This lowly one, Zhang Erhe, thanks the Immortal Master. If the Immortal Master does not mind, my two daughters are currently waiting to be married, and they are willing to spend their whole lives..."

Hearing this, Yan Taibai shook his head; he was too lazy to bother with Zhang Erhe below, and like Liu Jing, he turned into an escape light and left.

He was in no mood to take on any burdens, and besides, he was only ten years old! He was a minor; it was better to forget about such things.

Moreover, if his little wife Yan Ruyan found out, she might get angry.

There is no age limit for girls getting angry.

Now, he also had an understanding of the power of the "White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash"; it could completely be used as his trump card at the bottom of the box.

However, to be precise, it should be "Geng Metal True Qi".

Compared to Liu Jing who left Shuanghe City, Yan Taibai did not leave, but instead found a place to check his first spoils of war.

Besides completing the immortal cultivation simulation task of 【Slay Demons and Eliminate Devils】, he killed the evil cultivators for these "spoils of war". One cannot just do good deeds for nothing without a reward, right?

"Don't let me down."

After whispering to himself, Yan Taibai opened the two Storage Bags he had just obtained from Zhang Si, which were even still stained with a few bloodstains.

Two hundred and twenty Spirit Stones!

Magical Tools: three High-tier Magical Tools, five Mid-tier Magical Tools, eight lower-tier magical tools, functions unknown.

Talismans: twenty Primary Lower Grade Talismans, five Primary Intermediate Grade Talismans.

Silver notes: two hundred and ten thousand taels.

Gold notes: seventy thousand taels.

A pile of materials: worth over three hundred Spirit Stones.

Medicinal herbs: two century-old medicinal herbs, thirteen medicinal herbs over fifty years old, which are...

"These really are the medicinal herbs for refining the Li Dao Sect's Blood Jade Pill. Could it be that this Zhang Si has some connection to this Li Dao Sect?"

After checking all the medicinal herbs, Yan Taibai muttered to himself.

However, upon careful thought, the pill formula for the Blood Jade Pill is in the Library Pavilion of the Yan Family Fortress.

Otherwise, he would not have known, nor could he have deduced that Zhang Si and the others would go to Zhang Erhe's Zhang Mansion, allowing him to slay them both.

Therefore, based solely on the prescription for the "Blood Jade Pill," it cannot be confirmed that this Zhang Si is related to the Li Dao Sect of Yuanwu Country.

"It can be considered a bit of a harvest, it's just a pity there are too few Spirit Stones; fortunately, these medicinal herbs and magical tools are still of some use."

"The medicinal herbs can be kept; perhaps they will be useful for refining into pills in the future. As for the magical tools, I'll just sell them; High-tier Magical Tools are truly of no use to me."

It must be said that Zhang Si and his companion were definitely considered wealthy among the Demonic Path evil cultivators; they truly had quite a few good things on them, no wonder they had committed so many crimes and still had no issues.

But now, they all belonged to him.

However, he still had to find his next target right now.

It was just that the progress points gained from killing Qi Refining Stage Demonic Path evil cultivators were really not high.

It was not much different from a budget e-commerce platform in his past life; the only difference was that there were not so many zeros after the decimal point.

The next day, Yan Taibai, who had rested for half the night, quietly left Shuanghe City.

As for what happened at the Zhang Mansion last night, even Zhang Erhe himself was not clear about it, but he still publicized it and set up living shrines for Yan Taibai and Liu Jing, worshipping them daily.

However, the entire Shuanghe City remained skeptical about the matter of the Zhang Mansion being protected by Immortal Masters.

But regardless of whether they were skeptical, from then on, forces that dared to be enemies with the Zhang Mansion all chose to avoid their sharp edge, and some even left Shuanghe City.

It is easy to imagine just how great the prestige of a cultivator is.
