Inventorying the Spoils

Chapter 11: Inventory of Spoils

Leaving the woods, Bi Fan couldn't wait to find a hidden spot to check if there were any treasures in the Qiankun bags.

The two Qiankun bags were similar, and Bi Fan couldn't tell who each belonged to, so he randomly picked one out.

Since the previous owner was dead, refining the Qiankun bag was very smooth.

After refining the Qiankun bag, Bi Fan's consciousness could check the items inside.

The Qiankun bag's space wasn't large, only about two cubic meters. Inside, there were several Magic Tools, some talismans, over a dozen porcelain bottles, three books, and quite a bit of Spiritual Medicine and refining materials.

Apart from the Spiritual Medicine, Bi Fan had no way of distinguishing the quality of these items.

Bi Fan picked up the books first and began to read: one was "Strange Tales of Tianyu Continent," another was "Identification of Spiritual Pills and Magic Treasures," and the third was "Qingyang Willow Catkin Sword Art."

There was also some gold, silver, miscellaneous items, and food in the Qiankun bag, but none of these caught Bi Fan's eye.

Seeing these three books, Bi Fan guessed that one of the previous owners must have been a core disciple of the Qingyang Sect.

Bi Fan calmed himself and began to read "Identification of Spiritual Pills and Magic Treasures" carefully.

In the past, Bi Fan's memory wasn't good, and he couldn't remember knowledge related to Spiritual Medicine no matter how hard he tried. It took years of combining it with practical experience to memorize it.

But now, Bi Fan possessed the ability to memorize anything after a single glance, which surprised him.

"Identification of Spiritual Pills and Magic Treasures" mainly recorded information for identifying Pills, Magic Tools, and Magic Treasures used in the Mortal Embryo Realm and Mortal Transformation Realm. It contained detailed introductions and identification methods for Pills, Magic Tools, and Magic Treasures used in these two realms.

Bi Fan was engrossed in his reading. It took him a full three hours before he closed "Identification of Spiritual Pills and Magic Treasures" and stood up.

Even though he had only read it once, Bi Fan had already imprinted the contents of the book in his heart.

Bi Fan took out the porcelain bottles and prepared to test himself to see if he could apply what he had learned.

He opened a porcelain bottle, and a faint fragrance emanated from it. Bi Fan took a sniff, then poured out a Pill and examined it carefully.

"Viscera Solidifying Pill," Bi Fan exclaimed.

The Viscera Solidifying Pill was a Pill for cultivators in the Viscera Realm. Cultivators who had reached the peak of the Inner Breath Realm could also take it, and it would help them break through bottlenecks.

Bi Fan counted them; there were thirteen Viscera Solidifying Pills, which surprised him again.

Bi Fan put the Viscera Solidifying Pills away and stored them in his Heavenly Origin Ring.

He opened another bottle of Pills and identified it using the same method. It was a bottle of Spiritual Wisdom Pills, with only six of them.

Spiritual Wisdom Pills were specialized Pills for the Spiritual Wisdom Realm. Cultivators at the peak of the Valiance Realm could take them to help break through their realm.

Bi Fan was incredibly excited and quickly finished identifying all the Pills.

Recovery Pills, Healing Pills, Inner Breath Pills, Viscera Solidifying Pills, Valiance Pills, Spiritual Wisdom Pills, Great Strength Pills, Nine Transformations Pills, Nourish Spirit Pills, Marrow Cleansing Pills, Bone Changing Pills – these were all the Pills.

Among them, Healing Pills and Recovery Pills were for treating injuries and restoring Inner Breath. Inner Breath Pills, Viscera Solidifying Pills, Valiance Pills, Spiritual Wisdom Pills, Great Strength Pills, Nine Transformations Pills, Nourish Spirit Pills, Marrow Cleansing Pills, and Bone Changing Pills were for cultivating corresponding realms.

Especially the Nourish Spirit Pills, Marrow Cleansing Pills, and Bone Changing Pills, these three were extremely precious Spiritual Pills used in the Mortal Transformation Realm.

There was only one of each of these three Pills, and Bi Fan was already overjoyed.

After storing all the Pills in his Heavenly Origin Ring, Bi Fan took out the Magic Tools and Magic Treasures again, wanting to test them and identify them.

There were five Magic Tools and one Magic Treasure in the Qiankun bag.

The Magic Treasure was a bell-shaped item called the Soul Capturing Bell. When shaken, it could emit a soul-capturing sound that disrupted the enemy's mind.

However, this Soul Capturing Bell was clearly damaged and could not be used temporarily. Otherwise, its owner would not have died if they had possessed it.

Bi Fan put all the items from the Qiankun bag into his Heavenly Origin Ring, then began to refine the other Qiankun bag.

This Qiankun bag also contained quite a few treasures: nine Magic Tools, but no Magic Treasures. Magic Treasures were very precious; usually, only core disciples possessed one.

There were also several Pills for various realms, with the highest grade being Bone Changing Pills.

There were three books: "Strange Tales of Tianyu Continent," "Misty Dance," and "Carefree Art."

"Misty Dance" and "Carefree Art" were cultivation techniques from a very powerful sect in ancient times, the Carefree Immortal Realm. They were very precious. The person who wielded the saber had obtained them by chance and hadn't had time to cultivate them before word got out.

The strong swordsman was from the Qingyang Sect. Upon learning that the saber wielder had obtained many treasures, he attacked to seize them. The two fought several battles, ultimately perishing together, which benefited Bi Fan.

Of course, Bi Fan didn't know all this. He transferred the items from the Qiankun bag into his Heavenly Origin Ring.

When he moved aside a pile of refining materials, he discovered a bronze-colored token. The palm-sized token was engraved with the characters "Misty," exuding a grand aura and profound artistic conception.

Bi Fan glanced at it a few more times before tossing it into his Heavenly Origin Ring.

Finally, Bi Fan took out the sword and saber to identify them.

The sword was a low-grade Magic Treasure, the Clear Light Sword. The saber was surprisingly a mid-grade Magic Treasure, the Mountain Splitting Saber.

The Clear Light Sword belonged to the Qingyang Sect, so he definitely couldn't use it. As for the previous owner of the Mountain Splitting Saber, Bi Fan didn't know which sect they belonged to, but it was best to use it sparingly.

Moreover, with Bi Fan's current strength, wielding a Magic Treasure was a waste; he couldn't unleash much of its power.

Instead, the fourteen Magic Tools he obtained were more suitable for Bi Fan at his current stage.

Magic Tools were common and ordinary. If Bi Fan used them, no one would investigate further.

Bi Fan selected a high-grade Magic Tool, the Flowing Light Sword, and a low-grade defensive Magic Tool, the Silver Thread Robe.

The Silver Thread Robe was too flashy, so Bi Fan wore it underneath. The Flowing Light Sword was kept in his Qiankun bag, ready to be drawn for combat at any time.

Magic Tools do not require refinement; they can be used after a simple ritual.

After taking stock of his gains, Bi Fan was in high spirits and quickly descended the mountain.

Night fell, and Bi Fan finally arrived at Qingyang Town, avoiding a night in the wilderness.

Qingyang Town is the junction between Qingyang Mountain and the outside world, a place of bustling trade and prosperity.

Qingyang Town sees many traveling merchants, and thirteen inns of various sizes cater to them.

Bi Fan casually found an inn and checked in. After tidying up, he left his room and went to the lobby to eat.

It was the peak dining hour, and there wasn't a single empty seat in the lobby.

Bi Fan didn't want to go elsewhere to eat; it would be too much of a waste of time.

His eyes scanned the room and he spotted a table with only one young man dining alone, so he walked over.

"Brother, may I sit here?" Bi Fan asked, cupping his hands.

The young man appeared to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a refined and elegant appearance, exuding a certain demeanor as he sat there.

Bi Fan took a closer look. Although he couldn't discern the other's strength, he knew the man was far stronger than him.

"Please," the man replied indifferently.

Bi Fan didn't mind at all. All he needed was a place to sit and eat. He had many things to attend to after finishing his meal.
