390: Boat tickets, back roads

The Storage Pouch itself didn't hold much appeal for Su Yongchun.

The key was what lay inside the Storage Pouch.

However, it required the spiritual power of a Spirit Realm Cultivator to open, which was a bit troublesome.

"The host can consume points to lift the Restriction on the Storage Pouch," Ye Tian, who had been semi-idly monitoring the host, stopped chatting in the host group and reminded Su Yongchun.

"Hehe, I was waiting for you to say that." Su Yongchun grinned. "Lift the Restriction and let's see what good stuff is inside."

As he spoke, twenty experience points were deducted.

These experience points transformed into an extension of Su Yongchun's consciousness, allowing him to see the contents of the Storage Pouch.

Some spare clothes.

Over a dozen ordinary Spirit Stones.

Three Spirit Realm Cultivation Techniques.

Over sixty low-level Spirit Martial Arts!

Eight sets of Grade One Spirit Array diagrams!

A complete manual for crafting Grade One Talismans.

Over a dozen Mortal Weapons and one low-level Spirit Weapon.

And some Medicinal Pills that had turned into dross after being left for too long.

Of course, the most abundant items were gold, silver, and treasures from the secular world.

"Was the owner of this Storage Pouch a hamster? They're unusually wealthy." Su Yongchun hadn't expected such a massive haul.

If these items were given to a Family or some local power and allowed to be digested over several decades, they could turn them into a local hegemon!

If those two old men had known the Storage Pouch contained all this, they probably wouldn't have been able to die in peace.

But now... it seemed they hadn't died in peace anyway.

Looking at the two corpses in the snow, Su Yongchun waved his hand and sent them into the Storage Pouch.

He would throw them to the Experience Collector under the reef later; devouring them would grant some points.

The Experience Collector could devour anything without its own consciousness, including corpses.

As the two corpses were stored, Su Yongchun also held two Secret Manuals, one Secret Art, and four identity tokens.

The two Secret Manuals were 'Wild Goose Steps (Third-rate)' and 'Poison Heart Palm (Third-rate)'.

To Su Yongchun, these were unremarkable martial arts.

However, they could be used as nourishment for Fusion with the martial arts he had already learned.

The other one was a Secret Art.

It was clearly the source of the two old men's ability to instantly burst their Qi.

'Blood Seed Secret Method'

As the name of the Secret Art appeared before him, Su Yongchun felt a sense of familiarity.

"Hiss, this is the signature Secret Art of a villainous faction that the protagonist Dragon Xuan encountered early on!"

He remembered this faction was called the Blood Demon Sect.

They served Ghost Visage as their master!

Ghost Visage was a being in the Sealed Position Realm.

It was he who, in order to forge the Myriad Ghost Banner, nearly overthrew Whale Country!

Su Yongchun's heart felt heavy.

It was a good thing he killed these two, or disaster would have struck.

He shifted his gaze to the remaining four tokens.

Each of the two men carried two tokens, representing dual identities.

One was clearly the identity token of a Blood Demon Sect Disciple.

The other... was an official token representing a government position in Whale Country.

The Blood Demon Sect had already infiltrated the interior of Whale Country.

No wonder these two knew about the snake demon here.

It was likely that when Dehe County reported it, the news was intercepted by these two. After investigating, they wanted to keep the Treasure Trove for themselves.

The fact that Blood Demon Sect Disciples could infiltrate the government meant that the upheaval had begun!

Having roughly understood the cause and effect, Su Yongchun didn't linger and walked toward the Snake Cave.

Inside the Snake Cave, the weapons held by the two Family heads were thrust into each other's vital spots.

It looked as if they had attacked each other, resulting in both falling in the end.

Beside them was an ordinary small Silk Pouch.

This item was clearly a means left by the two Blood Demon Sect Disciples to make all suspicions vanish.

Once the two Family heads were buried, that ordinary Silk Pouch would likely become a laughingstock among the people.

After glancing at the axe the Black Tiger Family Head had swung into the White Cloud Family Head, Su Yongchun turned and left without interest.

A Low Grade Mortal Weapon was less appealing to him than a single tael of gold.

After all, the refined iron bought with a tael of gold could let him forge several Mortal Weapons... He returned to An Ding Village.

While the heavy snow danced, the village was filled with excitement.

The snake demon was gone, and no one in the Guardian Squad was injured!

Not only that, but White Shark and the others had brought back a pile of gold, silver, and treasures!

Bai Zong was grinning from ear to ear.

At White Shark's suggestion, sheds were set up in the village, and large pots were boiling.

They were preparing a feast for the entire village to celebrate!

Su Yongchun was naturally happy to join the meal.

Since he was still in his teens, he sat at the children's table.

He ate with great satisfaction.

Picking his teeth, Su Yongchun arrived at the reef by the sea.

Looking at the sea below, he waved his hand and tossed the two mangled corpses into it.

There was a slight crimson stain on the sea surface, but in just a moment, that crimson was directly devoured along with the corpses.

"Ding~ Experience points +1."

"The host currently has 39 experience points."

"It's time to plan a way out." Looking at his attribute panel and thinking about the current turmoil within Whale Country, Su Yongchun realized this place wasn't suitable for staying low and developing for a long time.

He had to go to sea to escape this upheaval.

Moreover, now that his Realm had increased, the required experience points were becoming even more massive.

Just to Breakthrough to the Ning Qu Realm, the Experience Collector would need to swallow seawater for nearly a month.

Breaking through to the Ning Qu Realm in one month.

If White Shark and the others heard this, their eyes would pop out.

One must know that their goal for fifty or sixty years of their lives was only to reach the level of the Ning Qu Realm!

But for Su Yongchun, it was indeed very slow.

He now had a Storage Pouch full of resources; as long as he found a suitable and peaceful place, he could leave the leveling up to time and the System.

"The Wu Family's ship sets sail in four months." Looking at the ticket in his hand, Su Yongchun still felt it was too late.

That night.

Su Yongchun went to the County pier again.

"Boss, give me one ticket for every large ship going on a long voyage within the next four months."

"All of them?!" The ticket seller was a bit stunned.

"Yes, calculate how much it will cost."

"For long-voyage ships, Dehe County basically has one every ten days. Within four months, there are about twelve trips. On average, a ticket is ten taels of gold, so a total of one hundred and twenty taels of gold."

As soon as the ticket seller finished speaking, Su Yongchun placed one hundred and twenty taels of gold on the table.

Inside that Storage Pouch, the piles of gold amounted to nearly ten thousand taels.

To Su Yongchun, these hundred or so taels were completely negligible.

Actually, this was also to prevent the Wu Family's ship from being too late. If he couldn't leave on their ship, he could take another large ship to sea first to take refuge. The destination didn't matter, as long as safety was guaranteed.

As for that Blackwater Zone, he could only find a way to get there later.

Of course, the best-case scenario would be if he could board the Wu Family's ship and go directly to the Blackwater Zone.

Seeing the money, the ticket seller beamed with joy and quickly handed fifteen tickets to Su Yongchun.
