Chapter 97 - + = ? (Two in One)

A hundred-year herb only needs 40 years to mature... Damn it, it’s still a long time, isn’t it?But it’s better than having no effect at all, isn’t it?

A hundred-year herb reduced by 60%, only needs 40 years.

Then a thousand-year herb reduced by 60% would require... 400 years!

Damn it.

Ji Yuan’s initially enthusiastic thoughts cooled down instantly.

Indeed, the lessons history teaches us are always useful... Farming won’t make you rich; it just keeps you from starving.

Looking at this small newly opened piece of Spirit Field before him, Ji Yuan decided to plant these unknown herb seeds and wait to see what they would grow into.

Along the way, he could also try upgrading the Spirit Field to Level 2 and see if a Level 3 Spirit Field might have better Spirit Effects.

The good thing about this is that Ji Yuan discovered the effect of stacking buildings on the panel, which is greater than the sum of its parts.

In the future, when there are more buildings or when there’s extra free time, he could ponder the combination of spirit effects between buildings.

After finishing this task, Ji Yuan continued to examine the Storage Bag he obtained this time.

As for Magical Artifacts, only the damaged Flying Boat remains... this thing is good stuff. Ji Yuan had already noticed it during his brief encounter with that Demon Cultivator.

This silver Long Shuttle Magical Artifact can serve as a Flying Magical Artifact, an Attack Magical Artifact, and even a Protective Magical Artifact.

It’s definitely one artifact serving three purposes.

Unfortunately, it’s severely damaged, and it’s unclear if it can be repaired.

As for the Elixirs, they’re all common ones used in cultivation, except for one bottle Ji Yuan doesn’t recognize.

He took it out, saw a note attached to the bottle, seemingly to prevent misidentification.

"Yin Nourishing Pill."

Ji Yuan opened it and saw five pills inside, each the size of a fingertip, filled with heavy evil yin energy, suggesting they’re not good medicine.

Just when he was thinking of putting them away, a thought suddenly crossed his mind.

The Yin Nourishing Pill... could it be used to nourish Yin Ghosts?

After all, those two creatures enjoy such evil objects the most.

With this thought, Ji Yuan then took out the Yin Ghost Banner.

The black banner spun continuously in his hand, and then two black shadows flew out from it, circling around Ji Yuan. As soon they sensed the energy of the Yin Nourishing Pill, they immediately swooped down.

The ghostly faces formed from black mist were filled with greed and longing.

Indeed, these Demon Cultivator’s things are certainly suitable for Demon Cultivators.

After confirming their usefulness, Ji Yuan first invoked the Artifact Manipulation Technique to take out two pills and handed them to each of the two Yin Ghosts.

Once the Yin Nourishing Pills were tossed out, the Yin Ghosts immediately pounced, swallowing them whole. In an instant, the aura surrounding the two Yin Ghosts intensified significantly.

Despite this, they still hovered around the Yin Nourishing Pills, unwilling to leave.

With three pills left, Ji Yuan took out two more and distributed them.

After both Yin Ghosts swallowed two Yin Nourishing Pills each, they appeared somewhat "drunk," swaying, while the ghostly mist around them billowed more and more intensely.

Ji Yuan quickly waved the Yin Ghost Banner to draw them back in.

It seems they’re about to refine the Yin Nourishing Pill, and he’s unsure if successful refinement will let these two Level 6 Qi Cultivating Yin Ghosts breakthrough to the late stages of Qi Cultivation.

If it’s possible... Two late-stage Qi Cultivating Yin Ghosts empowering the Yin Ghost Banner would give Ji Yuan the confidence to face a battle against someone at the Peak of Qi Refining!

After all, by then, the Yin Ghost Array would most likely be able to trap the cultivator at the Peak of Qi Refining.

Yin Nourishing Pill, a good thing, Ji Yuan put away the remaining one pill before looking at the other things in the Storage Bag.

There were quite a few Talismans, most of them high-quality.

Among them, there were 6 Attack Talismans and 10 Protective Talismans!

This damn dog, indeed there are many good things. Luckily, he didn’t choose to fight with him back then, otherwise he would have been exhausted.

However, no matter how many good things he has, they couldn’t resist Luo Tian’s earth-shattering explosion.

As for those three Demon Cultivators at the time, only this one managed to escape a little, preserving his Storage Bag, likely relying on numerous Protective Talismans.

But ultimately, he still couldn’t escape death.

The average price of one high-quality Talisman is between 20 to 30 Spirit Stones, just these Talismans alone are enough to repay the losses.

The rest of the items were mostly miscellaneous.

Such as ores suitable for Artifact Refining and herbs useful for Alchemy.

Logically, they should have caught something when fishing for so long, so why is there nothing in the Storage Bag?

Perhaps they have it on the other people.

But the battlefield was too chaotic to tell whether the Storage Bag was blown to pieces, and Ji Yuan dared not linger.

A blast so earth-shattering would most likely attract Foundation Establishment Cultivators to investigate.

Having obtained these items is already enough.

"Eh."

Ji Yuan was thinking when suddenly a Jade Scroll appeared in his hand, something he retrieved from the Demon Cultivator’s Storage Bag.

Inheritance Jade Scroll.

Uncertain of the magic within.

Once Ji Yuan infused spiritual energy, the Jade Scroll immediately fed back a piece of information.

Magic - "Corpse Puppet Technique."

A Demon Cultivator’s method.

Ji Yuan carefully perused it, initially not very interested, but then his eyes gradually lit up.

Corpse Puppet Technique... Refining Corpse Puppets...

Isn’t this perfect for finding myself a free laborer?

Like the daily feeding of chickens, pigs, and fish, Ji Yuan used to do these personally. It’s not tiring, just that it takes time every day.
