After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Chapter 24 Inventorying the Sand City Young Master's Storage Bag
The spirit sword flew past with a tsk-tsk sound, brandishing its blade with a look of utter disdain. "Why don't you even spare a rat's teeth?"

She gave him a "you know nothing" look and said, "These teeth can bite through array barriers, how can they be the same as ordinary rat teeth?"

Lingjian only said such things because he and his father had never experienced poverty. You see, for rogue cultivators, the teeth of a fourth-tier earth-burrowing rat are top-notch refining materials.

Even if she doesn't know how to refine weapons, she can still get a lot of spirit stones by selling them to the merchant guild.

Back in the cave, the spirit sword whizzed back into its sheath. The Crimson Demon was still asleep on the stone platform, completely undisturbed by the outside world. Such quality sleep would make any insomniac envious.

Lin Yan cast a cleansing spell on herself and then took out the Thousand Treasures Storage Bag of the so-called young master of Sand City. She was now a Golden Core cultivator, so erasing the spiritual imprint left by a Foundation Establishment cultivator was very simple.

After removing the mental imprint left on the storage bag, she didn't waste her divine sense searching for anything inside and simply moved everything out.

Suddenly, the once spacious cave became somewhat crowded! Hey, this young master of Sand City has quite a lot of stuff in his storage bag!
She moved everything out, sorted it, and put it into her storage bag. She didn't plan to keep the Thousand Treasures Storage Bag for herself; instead, she planned to sell it on the black market after leaving the Ten Thousand Demon Forest.

She took out a pair of gloves from her storage bag. These were gloves needed when handling the corpses of demonic beasts. Some demonic beasts had special constitutions; their blood could corrode cultivators, or they carried poisons, so a pair of protective gloves was necessary.

The young master of Shacheng is a cunning person, and she dared not touch the things in his storage bag directly. It would be safer to wear gloves.

She first rummaged through the bottles and jars, all of which had labels on them. Some were chamber of commerce labels, while others were simple item labels. These labels, which only indicated what the item was without any other information, would be considered counterfeit or substandard products in modern terms.

She glanced around; the jars labeled only with the contents were mostly empty, with only a few remaining. Almost none of them contained anything of any real value. There were Five Poison Pills, Heartbreak Pills, Spirit-Severing Pills, Gu Pills; Hallucinogenic Powder, Bewitching Powder, Heart-Poisoning Powder, Springtime Powder, Warming Spring Pills…

Tsk, it's like they're wholesaling poison. What normal cultivator carries around so many shady things?

That's right. In the cultivation world, using poison is at the very bottom of the hierarchy of contempt, even less respectable than using hidden weapons. Only evil cultivators and deviant cultivators would use poison. It's not that legitimate sects or aristocratic families don't use poison, but they certainly don't take pride in using it.

Heretical cultivators and deviant cultivators are different; they take pride in all sorts of shady methods. They worship demons, act without restraint, and even use ordinary people as experimental subjects for their cultivation.

Although most righteous cultivators also look down on mortals and consider themselves superior to them, their struggles are still among cultivators, and they will not treat mortals with contempt.

She didn't think all righteous cultivators were good people; there were quite a few who were hypocritical and sought fame and fortune.

Bottles bearing the Chamber of Commerce label contain genuine medicinal pills: Mind-Clearing Pills, Qi-Replenishing Pills, Spirit-Replenishing Pills, Healing Pills, Advancement Pills…

Wow, there's actually an advancement pill! This young master of Sand City came to the Ten Thousand Demon Forest for training, probably thinking he could advance his cultivation here. She opened the bottle and poured out a dark, unappealing thing.

The pill looked filthy, like a ball of mud rubbed off by a homeless person who hadn't bathed in years. The thought made her feel nauseous, and she almost vomited.

She quickly put the pill back into the small bottle, glanced at the grade marked on it, and then set it aside. A second-grade advancement pill was worth over a thousand high-grade spirit stones. She thought, the pill might not look good, but maybe it tastes amazing.

Lin Yan decided to follow her father's idea and advance without relying on pills. If she could find all the necessary auxiliary spiritual plants, she would use them to assist her; otherwise, she would tough it out.

Most of the regular pills were also gone, with only a bottle of third-tier Qingxin Pills remaining with about ten pills.

The Mind-Clearing Pill isn't expensive; its effect is to enhance a cultivator's concentration and calm the mind. Many cultivators with volatile tempers need it.

The remaining bottles were all empty, not a single pill residue left. No wonder that person risked a sneak attack even when injured; they assumed that a Foundation Establishment cultivator like her daring to enter the central area of ​​the Ten Thousand Demon Forest must have brought enough pills. If they could kill her through a sneak attack, wouldn't her storage bag fall into his hands?

After clearing out the pill bottles, it's time to move on to the bottles containing the corpses of demonic beasts. The young master of Sand City came to the Ten Thousand Demon Forest for training and used up all his pills; he must have killed quite a few demonic beasts, right?

She probed the three bottles containing the corpses of demonic beasts with her divine sense, her heart filled with joy. There were many corpses of third- and second-tier demonic beasts, but strangely, none of them contained demonic cores. Could it be that the young master of Sand City had taken the opportunity to extract the demonic cores after killing the beasts?

After checking and sorting the bottles and jars, the next step is to pile them up, as there are no individual containers for these treasures.

The flying magical artifacts include a small flying boat and a wind-controlling fan, both of which are second-tier flying magical artifacts. They are only slightly damaged, and they can be sold on the black market for several thousand high-grade spirit stones without any problem.

There are many kinds of offensive magical artifacts. Swords, blades, hammers, ropes, and hidden weapons are all available. However, the highest quality is the fifth-tier magical artifact, the Sky-Splitting Sword. The others are all second or third tier, much cheaper than flying magical artifacts. Moreover, the artifacts are all severely damaged, so they don't fetch much more price.

What remained were two large boxes and a bag of spirit plants. She scanned them with her divine sense; the boxes were filled with robes and accessories, probably over a hundred sets. This young master of Sand City was quite conscious of his image, bringing so many clothes to the Ten Thousand Demon Forest for training. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was on vacation in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest and walking in a fashion show.

In comparison, she carried far fewer robes. She brought six sets in total, hoping for good luck and peace of mind when traveling. Two sets were completely destroyed in the battle with the demonic beasts.

These clothes are made of good materials and are very new and undamaged. They would be worth a lot of spirit stones if sold on the black market.

There are two more spirit plant bags left, which are used to store spirit plants and have a preservation function. Putting the harvested spirit plants into them will keep them in the same state as if they had never been harvested.

She used her divine sense to investigate and discovered that there were actually quite a few mystical herbs inside. Oh dear, she was too late; otherwise, she wouldn't have had to feed the Red Enchantress so little.

Besides the Mystic Grass, there were quite a few Tier 3 spiritual plants, a rather mixed variety, which she didn't bother to count one by one. She moved out the spiritual plants she needed and put them into her storage bag, and put the rest into her Treasure Storage Bag.

To avoid unnecessary trouble with this bag of items, she preferred to pay a higher handling fee and sell it on the black market.
