Su Fan's temples throbbed with worry as he thought about his current predicament.

He sighed, deciding to take things one step at a time.

Su Fan unclipped Wang Zhi's Storage Bag from his waist. He had been too scared to open it during the past few days of constant fear.

As expected of a young master from a Demonic Sect family, he carried a ten-square-foot Storage Bag despite only being at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer.

Su Fan took out everything from the Storage Bag.

Although the Storage Bag didn't contain much, Su Fan was still shocked.

There were thousands of Low-grade Spirit Stones alone, not to mention over a hundred Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

"Killers and arsonists wear golden belts," the ancients weren't wrong.

Besides Spirit Stones, there were dozens of bottles of cultivation pills for the Qi Refining stage and other auxiliary pills.

He didn't recognize many of the pills, but they weren't what he needed anyway.

There were nearly a hundred Talismans, most of which were Mid- and High-grade Protective Talismans from the Demonic Sect.

This guy's not bad, we're kindred spirits.

There were four Magic Tools in total: the High-grade offensive Magic Tool "Soul Severing Cone," the Mid-grade auxiliary Magic Tool "Heart Bewildering Bell," and the Mid-grade defensive Magic Tool "Blood Patterned White Bone Shield."

He would be operating in Demonic Sect territory for a while, so these Magic Tools would come in handy.

Especially the "Blood Patterned White Bone Shield," a Mid-grade defensive Magic Tool that was rare even in Market Towns and couldn't be bought with Spirit Stones.

The last Magic Tool was a small black boat named the "Yin Wind Boat."

It was about a foot long, with a dark hull and a slot underneath for embedding Spirit Stones.

It felt rough to the touch, and he didn't know what material it was made from.

This was the Magic Tool Su Fan wanted the most. He had seen Wang Zhi use it a few times in the Market Town and had wanted to possess it ever since.

Without a flying Magic Tool for transport, he might be captured by the Demonic Sect before he even reached Shaoyang Mountain.

Su Fan was very satisfied with this "Yin Wind Boat" because of its incredible speed.

Its only drawback was its high Spirit Stone consumption.

According to Wang Zhi's confession, embedding a Low-grade Spirit Stone wouldn't allow it to fly very far; he usually used Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

Another wasteful item.

There was also a pile of books. Su Fan flipped through a few and almost gagged.

He had never figured out Wang Zhi's background, but after reading these books, he realized the guy was practicing the Joyful Union Path.

Most of these books were dual cultivation methods of the Joyful Union Path, along with various aphrodisiac Secret Techniques and pill recipes.

It's likely that many of those pills were potent aphrodisiacs, no wonder he loved changing his brides every night.

Although practicing the Joyful Union Path wasn't shameful in the cultivation world, as it was an orthodox lineage passed down from ancient times.

However, having grown up in a Confucian social environment, he could never accept it.

Besides these, there were two exquisite boxes, one large and one small.

Su Fan eagerly opened the large box. Upon seeing its contents, he almost vomited.

They were all women's undergarments, and all of them had been used.

Looking at this guy with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, how could he have such a weird fetish? He's practically a collector!

What a waste of these exquisite boxes, they could have held anything else.

After looking at the large box, Su Fan had no expectations for the small one.

He picked up the small box and looked at it. Could this also contain disgusting things?

Opening the box, Su Fan's eyes widened.

He felt a surge of heat rush from his spine to the back of his head, and his blood boiled.

What the hell...

Inside the box lay a Jade Talisman.

It was precisely the Second-tier Protective Jade Talisman that Su Fan had dreamed of obtaining.

This Jade Talisman was named "Hundred Poisons Corrupting Light Miasma." Once activated, it could emit a miasma to protect the user.

It could not only defend but also be used to attack enemies with poisonous mist or corrode the opponent's spiritual energy shields and Magic Tools.

"Hahaha..."

Su Fan laughed heartily with excitement. He finally had a true trump card.

With this Second-tier Jade Talisman, facing cultivators at the Late Qi Refining stage would be a piece of cake from now on.

Besides these, the rest were miscellaneous items.

Judging by the contents of Wang Zhi's Storage Bag, this guy must have been a direct descendant of a family, or he wouldn't have received such a lucrative assignment.

Not to mention that Second-tier Jade Talisman, "Hundred Poisons Corrupting Light Miasma," it was likely left to him by a direct elder in his family.

Who would have thought this guy wasn't even wearing it?

Perhaps he'd never experienced any real danger.

Because his aptitude was poor, he simply gave up and let himself go.

This guy cultivated the Joyful Union Path; he probably never intended to achieve any great Dao, purely seeking pleasure.

This escape from Shaoyang Market Town, though perilous, yielded great rewards.

A single Second-tier Jade Talisman alone was enough to offset all the risks.

The Bone Boat sailed for over a month, finally arriving at Black Profound City in eastern Liangzhou.

With Black Profound City as the center, the surrounding area of nearly ten thousand miles was the True Demonic Sect's sphere of influence.

The True Demonic Sect's mountain gate was in the nearby Black Profound Mountain Range, and Black Profound City was situated at its foot.

The Bone Boat docking area was set up outside Black Profound City. Dozens of Bone Flying Boats were already docked here, and a large number of cultivators were gathered, waiting to board.

Su Fan disembarked from the Bone Boat and glanced back.

He sighed; getting off was easy, getting back on would be difficult.

The token Su Fan held for boarding the Flying Boat was something he only wanted to use this once.

Once he entered Black Profound City, Su Fan planned to destroy everything belonging to Wang Zhi.

Furthermore, due to the conflicts between Immortal and Demonic Sects in the Western Wilderness, apart from special periods during wartime, there were no Bone Boats flying from Liangzhou to Yongzhou.

Su Fan had no idea how he would return to Yongzhou in the future.

He walked along a wide avenue towards Black Profound City. The road was bustling with people, incredibly lively.

In the air, many cultivators were piloting their Magic Tools, whistling past continuously.

Dazzling lights danced in the sky, and all sorts of Flying Boats traversed the heavens.

Su Fan's eyes couldn't keep up, even though he had seen prosperous large cities before.

But no matter how large or prosperous the cities in his past life were, none had so many people flying in the sky.

Su Fan displayed his identity jade token at the city gate and successfully entered.

As soon as he entered the city, the rich spiritual energy that assailed him made Su Fan shiver involuntarily.

The spiritual energy concentration here was at least several times denser than in Shaoyang Market Town.

He found an inn, destroyed the True Demonic Sect's clothes and identity jade token, and then obliterated Wang Zhi's remnant soul and corpse.

He changed into a black Daoist robe, altered his physique and appearance, used a different remnant soul, cast the Illusory Spirit Method, and then left the inn.

Inside the city, shops lined the streets, and pedestrians thronged the streets; it was extremely prosperous.

Su Fan had initially thought that areas controlled by the Demonic Sect would be similar to those controlled by Immortal Sects.

But after browsing the city, he discovered that shops in Black Profound City sold resources typically found in Immortal Sects.

Moreover, he even saw some Rogue Cultivators practicing Immortal Sect Cultivation Methods within the city.

This was absolutely unthinkable in areas controlled by Immortal Sects.

Let alone Demonic Cultivators, even Demonic Sect's Magic Tools couldn't be openly displayed; if discovered by an Immortal Sect, the trouble would be immense.

It seemed that areas controlled by the Demonic Sect were relatively tolerant towards Rogue Cultivators.

Despite Black Profound City being good, Su Fan had no intention of staying here.

After all, he had just killed a disciple of the Demonic Sect, and he dared not linger within the True Demonic Sect's sphere of influence.

The identity of Wang Zhi would be exposed before long.

Su Fan found a shop and disposed of some of the useless items he had on hand.

He then found a Spirit Rice shop within the city and bought several thousand catties of Spirit Rice in one go.

He also found a relatively large pharmacy on the street and purchased thirty bottles of Origin Returning Pills, along with some auxiliary medicinal pills.

He replenished his supplies with some healing medicines and auxiliary Talismans, and bought a map of Liangzhou before leaving Black Profound City.

Not long after leaving Black Profound City, Su Fan took out the "Yin Wind Boat" in a secluded spot, inserted a mid-grade Spirit Stone into the slot, and piloted the Flying Boat away.
