36: Chapter 36 Do bandits really make this much money?

"Ah?!"

Did he really want to thank him?

Bai Jiner forced her gaze away from those Cultivation Techniques and looked at Chun Xiaobai, dazed.

"Thank you... This Great King."

"Yeah!"

"No need for thanks!" Chun Xiaobai waved his hand generously. "This Great King has said that as long as you follow me, if This Great King has meat to eat, you will definitely have soup to drink!"

"Take this soup and drink it!"

Bai Jiner's pretty face flushed red.

She was a dignified Qingyun Sect Disciple, so how did she become a bandit lackey in the blink of an eye?

"Alright, alright. Fatty, you go to the next room and copy the genius list of the Outer Sect Disciples for me."

"Yes!"

Fang Yuan cupped his fists, then pulled the still-dazed Bai Jiner to the pavilion in the courtyard, spreading the twenty or so Cultivation Techniques onto the stone table.

"Come, come, Junior Sister Bai, you pick first!"

"This..."

Bai Jiner paused slightly.

She hadn't looked closely earlier, but now she saw that the lowest grade on the table was Yellow Rank Medium Grade, which would cost three hundred contribution points to exchange for in the Sect.

There were even several Yellow Rank top-grade ones, which were treasures worth over one thousand contribution points!

Adding these twenty together, it was almost fifteen thousand contribution points!

If converted to Spirit Stones, it would probably be around twenty thousand!

This guy... just gave them away like that?

Are bandits... this wealthy?

Seeing her not moving, Fang Yuan directly took three of the five Yellow Rank top-grade Cultivation Techniques and gave them to her, then picked seven random ordinary Cultivation Techniques.

"Come, Junior Sister, take them! Keep the ones suitable for you to Cultivate, and sell the ones that aren't at the market outside the Sect."

"I reckon these Cultivation Techniques are worth about seven or eight thousand Spirit Stones!"

Seeing Bai Jiner still standing there, Fang Yuan directly took these ten Cultivation Techniques and stuffed them into her hands, persuading her.

"Junior Sister Bai, since we've acknowledged This Great King, we must do our work well from now on."

"You have to know that with this casual reward from This Great King, if sold on the black market outside, it could fetch at least ten thousand Spirit Stones!"

"Even if we worked hard on missions in the Sect for ten years, we might not be able to earn that much!"

Hearing him say this, Bai Jiner finally reacted.

That's right!

For Disciples like them at Qi Refining Level 5 or 6, a normal mission only paid twenty or thirty Spirit Stones.

Of course, there were those that paid two or three hundred, but those missions were mostly life-threatening.

And this guy, Chun Xiaobai, casually gave her ten Cultivation Techniques worth nearly ten thousand Spirit Stones...

This... are bandits this profitable?

This made her, a quiet female Disciple, actually feel a bit tempted.

...

...

"Hahaha! Getting rich!"

In the Cultivation room, Chun Xiaobai sat on the ground, looking at the small mountain of various treasures before him, his mouth stretching to the back of his head, eyes narrowed into slits.

That roaring laughter made Bai Jiner, who was in the distant pavilion, roll her eyes.

"This big brother on the genius list is really not just ordinarily fat!"

Chun Xiaobai did a rough count and found that there were ten thousand Spirit Stones alone, over fifty bottles of Medicinal Pills, as well as some strange Materials and a dozen wooden boxes containing Spirit Medicine.

"[Tongbao Dharma Eye], activate!"

Chun Xiaobai activated his divine eyes and scanned the area.

Among the treasures in front of him, ninety-nine percent were glowing with yellow light; only three wooden boxes faintly emitted green light, but the intensity of that light was far less than the one he obtained from Cheng Haoxuan yesterday.

But having some was better than having none.

"I'm hungry, let's have a snack first."

He picked up ten bottles of Medicinal Pills, pulled out the stoppers, and poured them all into a big bowl, holding it in his arms and stuffing them into his mouth by the handful, just like eating candy.

After finishing a bowl of Medicinal Pills, he let out a full burp.

Although this Medicinal Pill tasted a bit bitter, it felt comfortable all over after eating it!

Moreover, he could feel that the Origin Qi in these Medicinal Pills could not only be refined, but the medicinal power could also be absorbed by his body, enhancing his Physique.

His current strength of six thousand jin was entirely due to these Medicinal Pills.

After filling his stomach, he counted and sorted the mountain of treasures in front of him one by one and put them into a Storage Pouch.

Suddenly, he discovered that Cheng Haoxuan's Storage Pouch couldn't hold any more.

"I need to get a Storage Ring later."

A Storage Ring had a minimum space of ten cubic meters, while even the best Storage Pouch only had five cubic meters, and this Medium Grade Storage Pouch only had two cubic meters.

He complained, then poured everything out, putting the Medicinal Pills in one Storage Pouch alone.

Various weapons, incomprehensible Talismans, and those Cultivation Techniques were put into another Storage Pouch.

The remaining miscellaneous items were stuffed into the last Storage Pouch.

When he had time, he would find a pawnshop to pawn all this "trash" he couldn't use and exchange it for visible Spirit Stones.

After dealing with these, Chun Xiaobai looked at the full ten thousand Spirit Stones in front of him and, without saying a word, took five thousand Spirit Stones, preparing to make a Breakthrough to Blood Refining Level 5 in one go!

"Pop! Pop! Pop!"

Now that his Realm was up, his hand strength was also greater.

He smashed these Spirit Stones by patting them randomly in that pile.

Then he sat on the Spirit Stone debris, opened his Dharma Eye, and operated the Martial God Art.

"Hum!"

Fang Yuan and Bai Jiner, who were copying the genius list in the outer pavilion, were stunned, suddenly feeling their pores open involuntarily.

"This... such dense Spiritual Qi!"

They quickly looked at the source of the Spiritual Qi and found it came from Chun Xiaobai's Cultivation room.

"What is This Great King... doing with Spirit Stones?"

With their Realms, they could tell at a glance that this Spiritual Qi came from Spirit Stones.

As long as Spirit Stones were crushed, the Spiritual Qi would volatilize; usually, people absorbed Spirit Stones bit by bit.

But this Spiritual Qi was clearly volatilizing from a large number of Spirit Stones, yet it wasn't being absorbed, letting it dissipate—wasn't that a waste?

The two were confused and couldn't figure it out.

Moreover, they could feel that the amount of this Spiritual Qi was not small, at least two thousand Spirit Stones worth.

"Junior Sister, stop dazed. This should be a reward from the Great King for us. Hurry up and absorb this Spiritual Qi, lest it be wasted!"

Fang Yuan reminded her hurriedly.

"Oh, oh!"

The two sat cross-legged immediately and seized the time to Cultivate.

Meanwhile, on Chun Xiaobai's side, sounds like a rushing river came from his body; that was the process of the Martial God Art tempering his vital blood.

Half an hour later, all five thousand Spirit Stones had been absorbed by him.

He checked his Realm and found... it had barely moved a small step.

"Damn!"

Chun Xiaobai's face darkened immediately.

This Cultivation was too damn expensive!

He counted on his fingers and finally arrived at a staggering number—it would take a full fifty thousand Spirit Stones for him to break through from Blood Refining Level 4 to Blood Refining Level 5!

"Oh my god!"

And that was only from Blood Refining Level 4 to 5!

If he were to Breakthrough from Blood Refining to the Vein Refining Realm, would that even be possible?

Fortunately, after absorbing these five thousand Spirit Stones, his overall strength had increased quite a bit.

He could feel that with his current Blood Refining Level 4 Realm, dealing with someone like Zhao Wuyuan would likely result in an overwhelming victory.

However, to deal with a big brother on the list like Shi Lei, who was at Qi Refining Level 8, he was still lacking just a little bit.

That missing bit was Martial Skills.

After all, he had never seen these guys use actual Martial Skills.

This was also why he didn't choose to engage them head-on when dueling, but instead used sneak attacks, distraction tactics, and the like.

He was mainly worried that the opponent would suddenly pull out some overwhelming ultimate move that he wouldn't be able to parry.

But he had tried to Cultivate those Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals; he could use some low-level Martial Skills after reading them once, but the lethality was pitifully small, not as satisfying as a casual punch.

But there were some Cultivation Techniques he couldn't Cultivate at all.

For example, a Yellow Rank Low Grade "Fireball Technique"; he concentrated according to the incantation for a long time, and let alone a fireball, he didn't even see a spark.

"Right, Cultivate Divine Sense!"

He turned his hand and touched a "Spirit Knowledge Technique"; this was the standard Divine Sense Cultivation Technique of the Qingyun Sect.

It required reaching the Qi Refining Middle Stage to Cultivate.

He was just at Qi Refining Level 4, exactly the time to Cultivate Divine Sense, and with Divine Sense, he could release it when he went out to "open for business" later.

With movements within a ten-mile radius clearly visible, it would be much easier to find fat sheep.

"Well, it will come in handy for 'working overtime' later!"

Another thing was that he had something in his head, and he must Cultivate his Divine Sense to see clearly what kind of treasure was hidden in his head.

Chun Xiaobai sat cross-legged and immediately recited the incantation silently.

"Here goes!"
