Mortal: I have a gathering technique

At that moment, in the direction Fang Qing was looking, a figure in blue was running for its life.

This person was extremely fast, leaping several meters in a single bound, but even so, he was still far slower than Fu Bao.

"go!"

With a flick of Fang Qing's finger, the gray light formed by the flying sword talisman flashed and reappeared behind the cyan figure.

Immediately afterwards, another flash of gray light appeared, and the cyan figure was instantly separated from its head and body.

Its head spun around and fell to the ground. The headless body continued to run for several meters due to inertia before crashing down.

After eliminating this person, Fang Qing did not pause at all, and quickly controlled the gray light to kill the other four people one by one.

In the blink of an eye, the crisis was averted, and the four, no, five, great tribulation cultivators died on the spot, leaving Han Li speechless.

When Fang Qing looked over, he felt a chill run down his spine and involuntarily shivered.

He had heard Fang Qing talk about the power of talismans and had been quite envious of them at the time, but he never expected that Fang Qing would actually have one.

If he had known that Fang Qing possessed such a powerful weapon, he would never have agreed to travel with Fang Qing in Jiayuan City.

However, thinking of this, Han Li relaxed instead.

At the same time, a sense of guilt unconsciously arose in my heart.

"If my senior brother truly intended to harm me, he would have done so back in Jiayuan City. Even if I used every trick in the book then, I wouldn't have been able to escape the power of his talisman."

"Judging from this alone, my senior brother truly treats me like a junior brother."

"However, because of Elder Mo's example, I've remained suspicious and doubtful of my senior brother's character, which is truly wrong of me!"

Fang Qing was unaware of Han Li's inner thoughts. Seeing the latter standing there motionless, he couldn't help but curse:

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and collect your spoils, then let's go!"

After saying that, he ignored Han Li and quickly summoned the gray light back.

When the gray light turned yellow again, Fang Qing noticed that the sword-shaped pattern on the talisman had dimmed a little more.

At this moment, he had no time to feel heartache. He quickly put away the yellow talisman and then rushed towards the blue-clad figure.

When he arrived in front of the man's head, he looked down and saw a somewhat familiar face.

"It really is you, Qingwen!"

Fang Qing raised an eyebrow, a knowing glint in his eyes.

This person was extremely active at the Tainan Small Gathering, using the banner of "sticking together for warmth" to look for those "naive and alone" rogue cultivators.

Although he did not approach Fang Qing, Fang Qing had seen him from afar several times and naturally remembered his face.

"Speaking of which, this man would later become the leader of the Black Fiend Sect's four Blood Servants. Now that I've killed him here, I wonder if it will alert the Black Fiend Sect's leader."

Thinking of this, Fang Qing immediately abandoned the idea of ​​keeping Qingwen's corpse as a subject for experimental collection.

After finding Qingwen's storage bag, he immediately used a fireball spell to burn Qingwen to ashes.

Fang Qing followed the same method with the remaining four people.

Soon after, he and Han Li left quickly with their spoils.

…………

The night sky was clear and the bright moon hung high in the sky.

A remote, desolate cave in the mountains.

Fang Qing and Han Li sat on the ground, enthusiastically counting their spoils.

The two of them had emptied all the contents of the five storage bags and sorted them out. They couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

In this cannibalistic world of cultivation, hard work in farming is definitely not as quick a way to make money as robbing.

First, let's talk about spirit stones. The five of them together have nearly eight hundred, of which about two-thirds are of the cyan type.

Then there are the magical artifacts, including the dark blue gourd, the black flying rope, and the dragon flying sword, seven mid-level items, three high-level items, and two top-level items.

Among these magical artifacts, Qingwen made the greatest contribution, contributing two top-tier, one high-tier, and three mid-tier artifacts on his own.

Although this net worth is exaggerated compared to that of an average Qi Refining cultivator, it is actually quite reasonable considering Qingwen's identity.

Moreover, setting aside his identity as a future blood servant of the Black Fiend Cult, his cultivation level alone is that of a master at the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

Of course, most importantly, the Black Fiend Sect disciples need the essence and blood of cultivators to practice their skills; things like spirit stones are useless to them.

As a habitual offender, Qingwen's accumulated wealth over the years was naturally not a small amount.

Finally, there are things like talismans and jade slips.

Oh, and there's also a bottle of pills.

Fang Qing wouldn't be sure if it were any other kind of pill, but because this pill was made by him, he recognized it at a glance.

Those pills were the two specially made Yellow Dragon Pills that he had given up when he traded with Ku Sang.

Upon seeing this pill, Fang Qing finally understood why Qingwen had ambushed him.

It can only be said that people die for wealth, and birds die for food; this is truly not an exaggeration.

As for the talismans, there were seven or eight scattered around, but most of them were of low to medium grade and not very valuable.

There are three jade slips: one is a travelogue of a cultivator, and the other two are cultivation techniques, one of which comes from Qingwen.

Coincidentally, Qingwen also cultivates a wood-attribute technique called the "Azure Wood Technique," which has nine levels and reaches the late stage of Core Formation.

Besides cultivation techniques, the jade slip also records the methods for crafting the sect's magical treasures, as well as the supernatural abilities corresponding to each realm.

Fang Qing initially thought that Qingwen was able to deceive his eyes at first because she had practiced the Black Fiend Sect's techniques.

After reading the Green Wood Technique, he realized that Qingwen was using the technique's special ability during the Qi Refining stage.

That supernatural power is called "Hidden Forest Technique," and it excels at hiding among the trees.

Even cultivators a level higher would find it difficult to detect.

Fang Qing didn't notice the blue pattern at the time, but he always had a feeling that someone was watching him.

That's why he used the talisman from the very beginning.

Firstly, it was to quickly eliminate the opponent, and secondly, it was to deter those lurking in the shadows.

As expected, when Qingwen saw the talisman, his mind was shaken, and he revealed a trace of his aura, which was then seen through by Fang Qing, who was prepared in advance.

After reading the Green Wood Manual, Han Li shamelessly asked for it.

Fang Qing did not refuse and asked him to make a copy.

The old demon probably felt that he hadn't put in much effort beforehand, and that getting the Green Wood Manual was already a bargain, so he didn't take any of the rest.

Although this move was somewhat unexpected by Fang Qing, upon closer reflection, it was in line with the old demon's character.

Since the old demon was so sensible, and Fang Qing wasn't a stingy person, he didn't give up anything else, but gave him a top-tier magic weapon.

This top-tier magic artifact is called "Azure Wood Cover," and consists of five green round beads. It is a replica of the Azure Wood Technique's natal magic treasure.

To unleash its full power, it is best to activate it with the power of the Azure Wood Technique, or secondarily with wood-attribute magic.

As for other types of mana, although they can be activated, their effects are only equivalent to those of high-level magical artifacts.

Fang Qing was somewhat disgusted, so he simply gave it to Han Li.

This gesture deeply moved Han Li!

……

After this little incident, the two began their journey north.

Along the way, the two would visit any market or town they happened to be in, regardless of its size.

Whether buying or selling, I managed to acquire quite a few things I liked.

During this time, with the help of elixirs, Fang Qing finally reached the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Three months later, the two finally arrived at the Taiyue Mountains where Huangfeng Valley is located.

At this time, there were still more than two months before Huangfeng Valley opened its gates.

Fang Qing had other important matters to attend to, and after explaining the reason to Han Li, he continued northward alone.

Han Li settled down near a small mountain village on the outskirts of the Taiyue Mountains.
