However, since the deed was done, it was done. 🐚👻 😂👑 This time, the attack was extremely swift, and the mouths of the two bewitching girls were silenced. Their flesh, blood, and living souls were completely devoured, and they escaped in time. In a short period, it was unlikely that Ghost Fiend Ancestor would know that his son was dead. Even if he knew his son was dead, it was unlikely he would directly suspect himself. After all, his movements were quite concealed when capturing Yin Souls, and he never approached or spoke to anyone.

After thinking through these matters, Lei Dong's tense heart relaxed. He swallowed a Qi Condensing Pill and began to cultivate and meditate, restoring his true qi. Half a day later, when Lei Dong opened his eyes, spiritual light surged, and the true qi within his body felt restless and uncontrollable. He was both surprised and delighted. He was delighted because this seemed to be a sign of a breakthrough, as in legends. But he was surprised because breaking through in the wild, who knew if it would be safe?

After a brief deliberation, he decided to break through immediately. Such surging qi sensations and moments of inspiration were not common. If he missed this chance, who knew when the next one would come? Moreover, although Earth Spirit Pills were spirit elixirs without side effects, such special and powerful pills always produced some resistance after consumption. Taking a second pill would be far less effective than the first. Now that he had used an Earth Spirit Pill to advance from level five to six, if he encountered difficult bottlenecks in the future, an Earth Spirit Pill might not be able to help him break through the shackles 100%.

Once the decision was made, he immediately ordered the Three Ghost Soldiers to strengthen their vigilance, killing anyone who tried to intrude into the cave. As for himself, he calmed his mind, held a spirit stone in his palm, took a Pill for Cultivating Origin orally, and began breathing techniques without haste or impatience. Gradually, all distracting thoughts faded away, and he slowly entered a state of self-forgetfulness.

Unfortunately, there was no way to bathe in this place. The Marrow Cleansing and Hair Washing effect after each promotion always made him both happy and annoyed.

After resting for a moment, and once his mood had calmed down from the joy, he began to examine his spoils. First, from the two women, perhaps because they were associated with the rich ugly young man, they had obtained some benefits and were not too poor. Pills, equipment, and spirit stones, totaling about a thousand spirit stones.

After expending some effort to erase the spiritual sense imprint left by the ugly young man on the storage belt, he opened it to inspect. His recently calmed heart couldn't help but pound again. This time, it wasn't surprise, but shock. Not to mention the ten Return Origin Pills stored in the jade bottle, or the various miscellaneous items, just the five faintly glowing, cold-light emitting Yin Sha Thunders quietly lying in the corner of the storage belt were enough to make Lei Dong break out in a cold sweat.

Of course, it wasn't entirely unavailable for sale. At least, with a thousand Contribution Value, one could exchange for it in the sect. In private transactions, a hundred spirit stones would not be enough. Therefore, Yin Sha Thunder was generally not used unless absolutely necessary.

As for these five Yin Sha Thunders, they were clearly refined from Yin Sha and could be called Yin Sha Thunders. Among all kinds of Yin Sha Thunders, Yin Sha Thunders were not the strongest in explosive power, but they were a very formidable type of Yin Sha Thunder.

The reason was simple: although all kinds of Sha could cause great harm to the human body, Yin Sha was the most troublesome. It was insidious and mysterious. Once it invaded the body in large quantities, it was extremely difficult to eradicate, like a soft knife, slowly and constantly wearing away a person's life.

The fact that the ugly young man's storage belt contained as many as five Yin Sha Thunders was enough to make Lei Dong break out in a cold sweat. If he had hesitated slightly, he might have been completely turned around. He believed that if he wasn't careless, he could barely handle one or two Yin Sha Thunders, but with five of them, plus ten Return Origin Pills, if it turned into a war of attrition, he would be the one to die. It was no wonder that the ugly young man was so arrogant and didn't put him in his eyes; he indeed had extraordinary capital.

The value of the Return Origin Pills and Yin Sha Thunders alone exceeded a thousand spirit stones. The harvest from the storage belt was far more than that. A thousand spirit stones lay neatly in a corner of the belt's spatial dimension, and a crystal-clear jade box was placed properly beside it. With a thought, Lei Dong took out the jade box and opened it. He saw ten transparent stones, with pure and abundant spiritual energy, shimmering on the surface as if they were tangible, neatly arranged in the jade box.

Middle Grade Spirit Stones? Lei Dong's heart rejoiced again. He had only heard of Middle Grade Spirit Stones, but never seen them. Theoretically, one Middle Grade Spirit Stone contained at most about ten times the spiritual energy of a Low-grade Spirit Stone. However, the value of Middle Grade Spirit Stones often exceeded that of Low-grade Spirit Stones by a hundred times or even more. The reason was not difficult to understand: holding a spirit stone while cultivating would speed up the cultivation speed. But Low-grade Spirit Stones had less spiritual energy and were somewhat impure. They were effective in speeding up cultivation, but could not significantly increase the cultivation speed.

However, Middle Grade Spirit Stones far surpassed Low-grade Spirit Stones in both the purity and content of spiritual energy by several times. In the same cultivation time, using Middle Grade Spirit Stones to absorb spiritual energy for cultivation was much more efficient than using Low-grade Spirit Stones. For cultivators, time was life when fighting against heaven. Furthermore, some very powerful magic items, or spirit items, could hardly be driven by Low-grade Spirit Stones. Even if they could be used reluctantly, the spiritual energy would be exhausted after only a few uses. This was why Middle Grade Spirit Stones were so sought after, with each one priced at over a hundred spirit stones.

What a fat sheep, Lei Dong no longer thought about the guy being the beloved son of Ghost Fiend Ancestor or anything like that. He wished he could slaughter more of this kind of person.

In addition, there were some miscellaneous pills, such as Pills for Cultivating Origin, Qi Condensing Pills, and so on, whose value was not worth mentioning.

But the most valuable thing on this fat sheep was probably not the items mentioned above. It was a shield, a sword, and a banner. The banner needed no further explanation; it was the Evil Ghost Banner. From any angle, the value of the Evil Ghost Banner would not be lower than an Upper Grade Flying Magic Item. And Upper Grade Flying Magic Items usually had a value of tens of thousands of spirit stones. Furthermore, if the Evil Ghost Banner continued to capture stronger cultivators' living souls and refine them, its quality would continue to improve, making it a rare treasure.

And that shield, the strangely shaped shield carved with many evil ghosts and fierce demons, which easily blocked the full-power strike of the level six Bloodthirsty Ghost Soldier's Bloodthirsty Art without leaving any trace, how could it be an ordinary item? Lei Dong could not determine its quality, but he guessed it was at least of Upper Grade Magic Item level.

Finally, there was the sword. Poor fat sheep, he never had the chance to draw this sword and unleash its power before dying. Ghost Fire Sword, another familiar and impressive offensive magic item. This sword appeared frequently in the sect's Grand Competition held every ten years. And those who could participate in the Grand Competition were mostly the elites of the same generation from various caves and mansions. This showed that the Ghost Fire Sword, one of the signature flying swords of the Yin Sha Sect, clearly had its unique and extraordinary power.

Especially this Ghost Fire Sword, the faint flowing ghost fire was dense and clear, indicating it was of extremely high quality, having undergone countless refinements. The sword body was also exquisitely designed, with various ornate Yin Yang carvings that were impressive. It felt cold and heavy to the touch, and a faint chill penetrated the skin, piercing the bone marrow.

Similarly, Lei Dong could not determine its true quality, but he had seen Middle Grade flying swords. In every aspect, they were far inferior to this Ghost Fire Sword. Therefore, Lei Dong roughly deduced that this sword was at least in the category of Upper Grade offensive magic items.

Second generation rich, as expected of a second generation rich. Lei Dong truly felt a sense of emotion. After struggling to survive, he only had a Soul Nurturing Pagoda of Upper Grade on his person. This guy, everything on him was Upper Grade. Indeed, comparing oneself to others could be infuriating. Unfortunately, these items could no longer be enjoyed by the ugly young man; they had all fallen into Lei Dong's hands. Amidst his emotions, he felt an immense secret joy.
