A powerful cultivator, at the Fifth Level of Divine Ability Realm, who possessed a potent Treasure Talisman and a Magic Treasure Replica, was actually killed by a cultivator at the Third Level of Divine Ability Realm.
Nangong Yuqing and Lin Guowei both felt as if this was a dream, but the Fireball Talisman remaining in their hands was incredibly real, still emitting wisps of heat.
"Damn it..."
At this moment, Wei Suo's mind was entirely focused on the brass-block-like Magic Treasure Replica in Lin Daoyi's hand. That seemingly unremarkable Magic Treasure Replica was far more powerful than a second-tier Treasure Talisman, worth a lot of Spirit Stones. Most importantly, such a good item was priceless and in high demand; even with a large sum of Spirit Stones, one might not be able to buy it.
Wei Suo desperately coveted that item, but while he had killed many demonic beasts, this was his first time killing a person. He yearned for it intensely, but looking at Lin Daoyi's corpse, he didn't dare to approach and take the brass-block-like item from Lin Daoyi's hand.
"Brother Ye, I suspect this guy might be faking his death. The Magic Treasure Replica in his hand is very powerful. Why don't you go over and get his item first? We'll keep an eye on him. If he dares to make any move, we'll hit him with another Fireball Talisman." After his eyes darted around, Wei Suo said this to the honest, large man Ye Xiaozheng beside him.
"Faking his death?"
Nangong Yuqing, who increasingly felt Wei Suo was extraordinary, was stunned when she heard Wei Suo's words and almost burst out laughing. Lin Daoyi's head had turned into a roasted sweet potato; if he could still fake his death like this, then Lin Daoyi would truly be amazing. Just now, Nangong Yuqing had found Wei Suo somewhat mysterious and thought he might be some hidden master disguised as a low-level cultivator, wandering the mortal world. But seeing Wei Suo's current demeanor, Nangong Yuqing could immediately tell that this fellow was a genuine low-level cultivator. It seemed this guy was likely killing someone for the first time, not even daring to glance too much at Lin Daoyi while speaking.
"He should be truly dead." However, Ye Xiaozheng was genuinely straightforward. Upon hearing Wei Suo's words, he nodded, walked over, examined him carefully, and said to Wei Suo.
Wei Suo didn't even look at Lin Daoyi's corpse and immediately waved his hand, "Since that's the case, then Brother Ye, you might as well search him thoroughly and see what he has on him."
"Okay," Ye Xiaozheng diligently began searching Lin Daoyi's body.
After searching Lin Daoyi's body carefully for a while, Ye Xiaozheng found two black leather pouches at Lin Daoyi's waist. He didn't find anything else. Ye Xiaozheng then pried open Lin Daoyi's left and right hands, took the brass-block-like Magic Treasure Replica and the Dark Green Jade Talisman, and walked back to Wei Suo's side. Upon returning to Wei Suo's side, he directly handed all these items to Wei Suo.
"Damn it, it's already broken!"
Wei Suo was overjoyed when he received the items handed over by Ye Xiaozheng, but the moment he saw the brass-block-like Magic Treasure Replica in his hand, he immediately let out a depressed cry.
Now he could see clearly. The item's appearance was somewhat like a small, square brick. It was very heavy, as if made of pure gold. The bottom had no patterns, but the surface had eight strange talismans resembling small swords. However, this item was now covered in several deep cracks from end to end, and the talisman patterns had lost all their luster. It was clearly completely damaged and useless.
The Dark Green Jade Talisman, which could unleash a wind wall with decent defensive capabilities, still had a flowing, water-like luster. Inside, there were dark green, peculiar patterns, and it looked like it could be used a few more times.
"I wonder if there's anything good inside."
Lin Daoyi's two black leather pouches were very tough, and the openings were tied with the same black string. Wei Suo untied one of them without any effort.
"Wahaha!" As soon as Wei Suo poured out the contents of this leather pouch, his eyes immediately lit up.
Lin Daoyi's leather pouch was filled with round Spirit Stones!
At a rough glance, although there were only about ten Spirit Stones in total, among these ten-odd Spirit Stones, besides eight or nine smooth, pale green Low-grade Spirit Stones, there were three stones of the same size as the Low-grade Spirit Stones, but they emitted a pale yellow luster and clearly had more abundant spiritual energy than the Low-grade Spirit Stones.
These pale yellow Spirit Stones with more abundant spiritual energy were Mid-grade Spirit Stones. One Mid-grade Spirit Stone had the same amount of spiritual energy and value as ten Low-grade Spirit Stones.
In other words, this leather pouch of Lin Daoyi's contained the equivalent of thirty-eight or thirty-nine Low-grade Spirit Stones.
So many Spirit Stones made Wei Suo's initial depression over the broken Magic Treasure Replica vanish completely. "Brother Lin Daoyi, you're truly a good person! With so many Spirit Stones on you, you must have put more good things in this bag too." Wei Suo, with a wide grin, untied the other leather pouch.
"Qi Replenishing Pill!"
The first thing poured out was a white pill bottle. As soon as he opened the cap, a familiar fragrant scent wafted out, making Wei Suo smile even more brightly.
Qi Replenishing Pills, refined by concentrating the medicinal liquid of Qi Replenishing Powder, had a similar effect to Qi Replenishing Powder in quickly replenishing True Essence, but their efficacy was three to four times stronger than Qi Replenishing Powder. With Wei Suo's current cultivation at the Third Level of Sea of Consciousness Realm using the Purple Profound True Art, if his True Essence was completely depleted, he would need at least one and a half bottles of Qi Replenishing Powder to replenish his True Essence. However, with these Qi Replenishing Pills, only half a pill would be enough to fill it completely.
The price of one Qi Replenishing Pill was two Low-grade Spirit Stones, and this pill bottle contained four emerald green Qi Replenishing Pills. Lin Daoyi placing this pill bottle in this black leather pouch clearly showed that he was usually reluctant to use these Qi Replenishing Pills and preferred to use Qi Replenishing Powder.
"The family fortune of a brother at the Fifth Level of Sea of Consciousness Realm is indeed substantial. With such a fortune, he still comes out to rob and kill people. Huh, what is this?" In this black leather pouch, besides the pill bottle containing four Qi Replenishing Pills, there were also two green jade talismans and a tattered piece of cloth.
The surfaces of the two small green jade talismans were very smooth. Apart from a small Taiji symbol, there were no patterns. The tattered piece of cloth was marked with some ancient script indicating place names and geographical features, looking like a corner of a map.
"Taiji symbol... Jade talismans with Taiji symbols, haha, I understand! These two jade talismans should be integrated for offense and defense, capable of both forming a Taiji for defense and launching the formed Taiji to attack – they are Taiji Jade Talismans!" Wei Suo studied them for a while and laughed heartily, like a seasoned expert.
"Pfft!"
Hearing Wei Suo speak so confidently, Nangong Yuqing finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What's wrong? Aren't these Taiji Jade Talismans?" Wei Suo looked at Nangong Yuqing somewhat strangely.
Nangong Yuqing managed to suppress her laughter and nodded, "These are Azure Jade Talismans from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. They should contain the techniques sold by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. This Taiji is the mark of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."
"Ah?" Wei Suo's face flushed, and he was suddenly dumbfounded.
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was a large market south of Lingyue City, often holding auctions for good items. However, those places were still too high-end for Wei Suo, so he didn't recognize the mark of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. Thinking that he had mistaken the mark of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion for talisman patterns, Wei Suo felt incredibly embarrassed.
