Chapter 104

Lu Changsheng, using a Flying Ascension Talisman, flew at full force and arrived at a cliff cave several miles away.

He used a Purification Talisman to check himself all over, to see if there were any tricks left behind.

After confirming there were no problems, he began to clean up the loot in the two Storage Bags.

In total, there were three hundred sixty-two Spirit Stones.

Three Lower Grade Magic Artifacts and one Middle Grade Magic Artifact.

A number of Elixir Medicines.

A number of Spiritual Medicines.

A number of Talismans.

A bunch of miscellaneous items.

Lu Changsheng estimated that these items were worth six to seven hundred Spirit Stones.

Adding the Vestment robe, magic boots, Flying Sword, shield, Curved Saber, and Flying Artifact he had just acquired,

It casually amounted to over a thousand Spirit Stones.

It could be said to be a huge sum of money.

A hint of joy appeared on his face.

This haul was much more significant than what he had collected before at Bullhead Mountain.

One could only say that there were different levels of Robber Cultivators.

Being a Robber Cultivator at a place like Nine Dragons Market was certainly more prosperous than in a mundane place like Bullhead Mountain.

Of course, the risk was also much higher.

Lu Changsheng took out a high-grade Purification Talisman and purified all the items to check if there were any problems.

Indeed, under the effect of the Purification Talisman, three items showed signs of branding marks.

After destroying these items along with some other suspicious ones that he did not recognize, Lu Changsheng continued to flee to another place.

Thinking that fleeing on his own could leave traces and scents, and also consume too much Spiritual Power and physical strength,

Lu Changsheng immediately took out an Escape Talisman and used it.

Suddenly, Spiritual Light surged around him, enveloping his entire being as he dove into the ground, traveling swiftly like a mole before bursting forth.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Lu Changsheng appeared several miles away.

“Whew!”

As soon as Lu Changsheng emerged from the ground, he breathed in the air.

He immediately smelled a stench.

“Gurgle!”

He turned his head and saw, not far off, a black wild boar over two to three meters tall and five to six meters long, with hair like pine needles, staring at him. Its snout was puffing white smoke, and its tusks were sharp and fierce.

“A Demon Beast!”

With one look at the large wild boar, Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat, knowing that it was not an animal, but a Demon Beast.

“Gurgle!”

Before he could take another look, the large boar let out a low roar, its tusks emitting a faint black light, and charged straight at him.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng quickly took out a mid-to-lower grade Talisman to use.

The Talisman burst into light, transforming into a barrier of water and light that protected him.

Then vines and earthen prisons appeared, trapping the boar, followed by a barrage of fireballs, wind blades, and arrows bombarding the beast.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

“Awoo, awoo, awoo!”

Under the onslaught of ten to twenty Talismans, the boar let out a mournful howl before it could get close to Lu Changsheng. Its body scorched black, blood gushing out, it eventually collapsed with a cry of agony.

“This should only be a First Grade beginner Demon Beast. Perhaps I could have killed it with my Flying Sword with a bit of effort.”

“This feels rather wasteful.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the fallen boar and shook his head slightly.

Just one of his Talismans cost tens to almost a hundred Spirit Stones.

And a beast like this, if sold, probably would fetch around a hundred Spirit Stones only.

Moreover, with its body so severely damaged by his Talisman assault, the price would definitely be a lot lower.

“Forget it, such a small thing isn’t worth skimping on.”

“After all, I only have one life. I’d rather waste a bit than make a single mistake!”

Lu Changsheng consoled himself with a word, not feeling too heartbroken.

He took out his Flying Sword, roughly butchered the large wild boar, and stuffed it into his Storage Bag.

Storing Demon Beast meat in the Storage Bag also had a shelf life; probably after seven or eight days, the quality of the meat would be affected.

However, upon returning to Qingzhu Mountain, besides consuming it himself, he could also feed it to the Nine Netherhound.

Over the past two years, he had mostly fed the Nine Netherhound ordinary raw meat, only occasionally giving it Demon Beast flesh to eat.

It couldn’t be helped, as feeding it Demon Beast meat every day was too expensive to maintain.

If he weren’t worried about accidents, he would have liked to find a mountain range to let the Nine Netherhound roam free.

Waiting for the Nine Netherhound to grow through constant battles and struggles to become a Demon King of its own territory, then come back to carry him soaring.

After cleaning up the surroundings, Lu Changsheng began looking for a place to settle down for the night.

He planned to rest for a day and then leave when the Iron Feather Eagle had recovered.

During this process, to avoid encountering other Demon Beasts, Lu Changsheng was very careful and cautious.

He eventually came across a tiger Demon Beast in a cave.

Without hesitation, Lu Changsheng used a Talisman to instantly kill the First Grade beginner tiger Demon and entered the cave.

He planned to spend the night here.

“It’s just for one night, nothing else should happen, right?”

Lu Changsheng lay on the tiger skin rug, feeling somewhat weary.

While the use of Talismans did not drain him, using so many had taken quite a toll on his Mental Spirit.

After taking a couple of sips of White Jade Hundred Flowers Wine, Lu Changsheng took out a Spirit Stone and began to meditate and Cultivate.

The night gradually fell.

In the wilderness between the forests, the sounds of wild animals roaring and shrieking filled the night, making it very unsettling.

At this time, dozens of miles away, atop a mountain peak,

“Screech!”

A giant eagle with pitch-black feathers and wings spanning several zhang landed.

On the back of the black eagle stood a stout middle-aged man.

The man, dressed in a black robe, seemed to blend in with the night.

He hopped down from the back of the eagle, his eyes gleaming faintly in the night, and began to inspect the surroundings.

After checking the surroundings, Zhou Kuanglong muttered to himself, “It looks like I’ve been outdone. Just a Qi Refinement Forth Level young master, and he possesses such strength and means?”

Then, with a light step, his agile figure leaped into the air and landed back on the eagle’s back.
