Chapter 73: Information Update! Another Great Opportunity!

Watching Zhao Xuanting and his brother Zhao Xianzhen leave arrogantly, Gao Yuan remained silent.

Immediately.

Gao Yuan waved his hand, took out the remaining 62 spirit stones from his storage pouch, picked out 12, and handed the rest to Qin Wang. "Xiao Qin, those Zhao brothers are too despicable. Given the circumstances, this is the best we can do. I'll take 12 stones, and you can have 50. How does that sound?"

"Uncle Gao, this... I can't accept this. I'll take 40 stones instead."

Qin Wang sighed inwardly and took out 40 spirit stones, pushing the remaining stones back into Gao Yuan's hand.

Gao Yuan had helped him greatly, and he couldn't let him suffer a loss.

The remaining 22 stones would be Gao Yuan's compensation.

It was an unfortunate situation, but the Zhao brothers' actions were now engraved in Qin Wang's memory. He vowed to repay them tenfold in the future.

"Xiao Qin, it's because of my involvement that this loss occurred. I'm really sorry!"

Seeing Qin Wang return the pouch, Gao Yuan declined several times, but seeing Qin Wang insist, he reluctantly accepted it.

"The Demon-Slaying Hall sells various demon beast materials, including teeth, bones, spider venom, and snake venom. Bring them back to gather ingredients for the Bewitching Soul Sealing Incense."

"While you're at it, wander around the streets to gather information."

Qin Wang followed Gao Yuan and Gao Wenjing back to the cabin. Once in his room, he appeared thoughtful.

He then stored the spirit stones, locked the door, and headed back to the Demon-Slaying Hall.

Bewitching Soul Sealing Incense: Made from the venom of first-tier demon beasts like the Moon Demon Spider, the paralyzing venom of moths, the essence blood of red-scaled snakes, and thirty-six other medicinal materials. Once lit, it acts quickly, paralyzing cultivators below the fifth level of Qi Refining for an hour, after which they gradually recover.

At the Demon-Slaying Hall, Qin Wang purchased the venom of the Moon Demon Spider, the paralyzing venom of moths, and the essence blood of red-scaled snakes.

Then, he bought other necessary medicinal materials at the Herb Hall. The total cost for the Bewitching Soul Sealing Incense and its antidote was 15 spirit stones.

"Hopefully, this Bewitching Soul Sealing Incense will be of great use!"

"Each piece costs about 3 spirit stones!"

In the evening, Qin Wang sat in cabin number 88, looking at the five egg-sized gray lumps in front of him, muttering to himself.

Currently, these five pieces of Bewitching Soul Sealing Incense were still moist and needed to be dried. When needed, they could be ignited with a fire starter or a fire spell, emitting no color or smell.

"However, I have the Fire Spirit Blade spell, so lighting the Bewitching Soul Sealing Incense is no problem."

Qin Wang calculated.

Currently.

He had 55 spirit stones left. He needed to improve his cultivation since Jin Shifeng from the Demon-Slaying Alliance would be tracking him in over 50 days, coming to Xiao Dan Mountain.

Thinking of this.

Qin Wang locked the door.

Holding a spirit stone in each hand, he began to cultivate.

Late at night.

In the early hours.

[Daily Information Refresh!]

[Today's Information!]

1) You went to Cuiyun Mountain yesterday and found a demon wild boar. You received information that this demon wild boar once visited a hidden cave 300 miles east of Cuiyun Mountain. This cave belonged to a Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator who perished there while trying to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

2) You encountered Zhao Xuanting from the Demon-Slaying Alliance yesterday. You received information that last night at eleven o'clock, Zhao Xuanting and his brother intercepted and killed Tang Song, a rogue cultivator from Xiao Dan Mountain, burning his body with fire spells. They had some small gains.

3) You met Zhao Xuanting and his brother from the Demon-Slaying Alliance yesterday. You received information that the Demon-Slaying Alliance, where Zhao Xuanting is from, is dissatisfied with Gao Yuan's demon-hunting team and wants to eliminate them.

4) You encountered a battle between a demon wild boar and a demon python yesterday, receiving information that there are 4 python eggs in a cave near Cuiyun Mountain, containing strong essence, which would greatly benefit your cultivation.

5) You hired Gao Yuan to go out yesterday, receiving information that Gao Yuan is extremely resentful of Zhao Xuanting and his brother but feels helpless. He does not want to drag his demon-hunting team into trouble because of his own issues.

6) You ate the demon wild boar meat given by Gao Yuan yesterday, receiving information that your physical body has slightly strengthened by absorbing the essence of the demon wild boar.

7) You met Zuo Bufan yesterday, receiving information that Zuo Bufan was poisoned by the Moon Demon Spider. Today, he sold his magical artifact at the Artifact Pavilion and bought an antidote at the Dan Exchange, curing the poison of the Moon Demon Spider.

8) You touched the Three Corpses Gu King jar yesterday, receiving information that the jar's previous owner, the Gu Master, transformed into the Sniffing Gu, and has reconnected with Jin Shifeng.

9) You met Fei Jianhua, a sixth-level Qi Refining cultivator from Xiao Dan Mountain, yesterday, receiving information that he squandered 32 spirit stones on Flower Street last night, regretting it deeply afterward.

10) You encountered a battle between a demon wild boar and a demon python yesterday, receiving information that there are over 300 demon wild boars thirty miles away from Cuiyun Mountain.

"A hidden cave 300 miles east of Cuiyun Mountain, the closed-door cultivation site of a Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator who perished attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?"

"This information... a great opportunity!!"

Qin Wang's eyes lit up upon seeing the first piece of information.

However.

Xiao Dan Mountain was a marketplace for cultivators, and the further out one went, the more dangerous it became, with numerous powerful demon beasts. A slight mistake could lead to death!

Traveling 300 miles out was out of the question for now.

He could only consider it when his cultivation reached the seventh or even the eighth level of Qi Refining.

"The Demon-Slaying Alliance doesn't just slay demons; they also rob cultivators! I must be extremely careful in the future!"

Qin Wang's heart tightened as he read the second and third pieces of information.

"Four python eggs in a cave near Cuiyun Mountain, containing strong essence that would greatly benefit my cultivation?"

"It seems I need to visit Cuiyun Mountain frequently and find the python's cave!"

Qin Wang pondered the fourth piece of information.

Cuiyun Mountain was nearby, and once his cultivation improved, he could slowly explore the area.

"Consuming the demon wild boar meat slightly strengthened my physical body. I need to eat more of this in the future."

Looking at the sixth piece of information, Qin Wang made a plan.

In the future, with more spirit stones, he would acquire a body-strengthening technique. A stronger physical body would significantly enhance his survival chances.

"The Gu Master, transformed into the Sniffing Gu, has reconnected with Jin Shifeng?"

Qin Wang frowned deeply at the eighth piece of information. According to the information, the Sniffing Gu, transformed from the Gu Master, was formidable. Having taken the Three Corpses Gu King jar, Qin Wang knew the Gu Master would come after him eventually.

For now.

All he could do was focus on improving his cultivation.

After reviewing the information, Qin Wang decided to rest for a while and continue cultivating and absorbing spirit stones the next morning to advance his cultivation.
