594: Count the resources and become rich

Ghost Market.

Amidst the ruins.

Marquis Chi Cang’s face was grim as he looked around. With a flick of his sleeve, a drop of fresh blood flew from the ground into his hand.

He then took out a drop of soul blood from between his brows and formed a seal.

Buzz!

The two drops of fresh blood merged, creating an image. In the image, Red Azure Yuan was crushed into a bloody mist by a blurry phantom.

“Who on earth did this?”

Marquis Chi Cang stared intently at the image before him, his expression extremely ugly.

Using soul blood as a guide, he still couldn’t clearly see the figure and face of the person who made the move. It was as if some power had invisibly concealed that person.

“No matter who you are, this Marquis will find you and grind you to dust…”

Marquis Chi Cang’s figure flickered, and he vanished from the spot.

As long as he investigated which areas of the Ghost Market Red Azure Yuan had visited and who he had provoked, he might gradually be able to identify the culprit.

Not long after.

Marquis Chi Cang searched the souls of some people from the Ghost Market auction house and finally pinpointed Xie Weilou as his target.

According to the soul memories of those people, Red Azure Yuan had targeted Xie Weilou during the auction.

Moreover, after Xie Weilou left the auction house, Red Azure Yuan had even brought people to follow him.

Now that Red Azure Yuan was dead, Xie Weilou was the prime suspect.

“Damn it…”

Marquis Chi Cang’s eyes were bloodshot, and he departed, radiating killing intent.

Regardless of whether that person was from Chitian Academy or whether Guanshan Wine was protecting him, he would grind Xie Weilou to dust.

— — — — — —

After leaving the dense forest, Xie Weilou did not return to Chi Tian Capital but flew in the opposite direction.

Marquis Chi Cang would surely learn of his killing of Red Azure Yuan, and Chi Tian Capital was Marquis Chi Cang’s territory, so he naturally wouldn’t be foolish enough to return there.

In his current state, he had no confidence in facing someone in the Dongxuan Realm.

As for Guanshan Wine’s promise of protection, he wouldn’t take it too seriously. To traverse the world, one ultimately had to rely on oneself!

An hour later.

Xie Weilou found an underground cave in the Great Desert.

Inside the cave, a dark river flowed through. The space was quite large, like an underground dwelling, and extremely quiet.

Xie Weilou set up a formation to conceal the cave, then sat cross-legged on a flat rock.

He took out two items from his storage ring: a Sword Dao Talisman and a black lotus.

Xie Weilou stared at the Sword Dao Talisman. The boss had previously said it was just a Fourth-grade Sword Dao Talisman that could unleash an attack comparable to the Profound Manifestation Realm, but this item was not that simple.

He could sense that within this talisman, there was also a unique power of formations, and it was a power of a killing formation.

However, this formation was somewhat damaged, and that sword energy was leaking out from the damaged parts. With Xie Weilou’s Seventh-grade Formation Dao, he should be able to barely repair the formation.

“It’s a treasure. I can try to repair it later,” Xie Weilou thought to himself.

He then picked up the black lotus and examined it carefully.

This item was cast from crystal and originally should have had twelve petals, but now only nine remained. It was also damaged, but the power it contained made him feel an inexplicable trepidation.

This seemed to be a terrifying Forbidden Artifact. If fully activated, it would surely unleash destructive attacks.

“…”

Xie Weilou gazed at the black lotus, and a wisp of his soul seeped out, enveloping the black lotus to investigate its interior.

Boom!

Just as this wisp of his soul entered the lotus, a force of annihilation struck, instantly crushing his wisp of soul into dust.

“This power…”

Xie Weilou’s pupils contracted, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

This lotus was indeed a Forbidden Artifact, containing extremely terrifying power, even several times more terrifying than the Sword Dao Talisman. If this item were activated, it might instantly obliterate an early-stage Dongxuan Realm expert.

This item was extraordinary and difficult to activate by ordinary means. However, he possessed the Town Artifact Technique, so he could activate this item and unleash its destructive power.

“Good stuff!”

Xie Weilou took a deep breath and carefully put away the black lotus.

This black lotus was now definitely one of his trump cards.

He then took out all the other storage rings and began to inventory them.

This time, his massacre in the Ghost Market yielded immense gains. He obtained seventeen storage rings alone, especially the Lord of the Ghost Market’s storage ring, which surely contained a great many things.

Killing and arson bring wealth; the ancients were indeed right.

After one stick of incense.

Xie Weilou had finished inventorying all seventeen storage rings. Spirit grasses and spirit medicines were naturally abundant.

There were over two thousand century-old spirit grasses, over two hundred millennium-old spirit grasses, over fifty myriad year spirit grasses, and even a hundred-thousand-year-old spirit medicine, the Karmic Fire Bodhi Flower!

Most of these items came from the Lord of the Ghost Market. As the controller of the Ghost Market, all its resources were in his hands, so such an accumulation was normal.

“A hundred-thousand-year-old Karmic Fire Bodhi Flower, I’m rich!”

Xie Weilou’s eyes flashed with brilliance, and he quickly took out a jade box to place a fiery red Bodhi flower inside.

This time, he had made a huge profit. Coupled with his previous resources, he was practically overflowing with wealth.

It could be said that his path to Dragon Transformation was now completely unimpeded, and he had even prepared some resources for after Dragon Transformation in advance.

With so many spirit grasses and spirit medicines, he could continuously attempt to refine Seventh-grade pills!

After putting away the jade box, Xie Weilou picked up a gray five-leaf spirit grass. It was covered with mysterious runes and contained a unique power of divine soul.

This item was precisely the myriad year divine derivation grass, which could enhance the power of the divine soul and was a crucial medicinal ingredient for him to refine the Yanshen Pill.

“The Shen Yan Grass is in hand…”

Xie Weilou’s face showed a smile. Unfortunately, among the many myriad year spirit grasses and medicines, there was no myriad year seven souls flower.

With a wave of his sleeve, he put all the numerous spirit grasses and spirit medicines into his storage ring.

He then found some spirit materials, spirit objects, and rare materials from his storage ring. These could be kept, as they could be used in artifact refining, Restriction, and formation arrays.

As for the remaining items, he felt they were useless, so he tossed them all into another storage ring to be devoured by the bronze egg.

“Hmm?”

Just then, Xie Weilou suddenly saw something: a watermelon-sized stone Buddha statue. This item contained a gloomy power that made him uncomfortable.

“This power…”

Xie Weilou picked up the stone Buddha statue. This item came from the Lord of the Ghost Market’s storage ring. He now sensed a familiar aura, the curse power of the Divine Restraint Seven Curses!

That’s right, this familiar aura was indeed curse power, identical to the curse of the Divine Restraint Seven Curses.

“This item contains curse power and could be used against enemies,” Xie Weilou muttered, intending to keep it.

Buzz!

As soon as he finished speaking, the bronze egg in his storage ring instantly unleashed a terrifying devouring power, and the curse within the stone Buddha statue was swallowed in an instant…
