Back home, Xu Mu began to sort through the items he had retrieved from the two brothers.
Eighty-three lower-grade Spirit Stones!
A cultivation Secret Skill manual!
A dozen or so medicative pills!
Two damaged defensive Magic Artifacts!
Nearly a hundred different types of talismans!
A black, hammer-shaped Magic Artifact!
A grey-white rope Magic Artifact!
Two sets of Willow Leaf Throwing Knives!
Damn! Unsurprisingly, these ruthless thieves were loaded!
Even a rough estimate of these items would amount to more than a thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones.
Comparatively, he felt as penniless as a beggar.
Despite being a well-to-do Alchemist.
Its a good thing they were cautious at first, and didnt attack me immediately when I arrived!
Otherwise, given his strength at the time, he would have had no chance of fighting back.
However, he didnt think about it from their perspective. With his shabby appearance when he first arrived, they must have been bored to even bother attacking him.
If it werent for his status as an Alchemist potentially possessing a Pill Furnace, and his daughter who could concoct Infant Blood Pills, the brothers of Li Family might not have looked upon him favorably.
After all, rabbits dont eat the grass around their burrows!
If they made enemies of everyone around them, they wouldnt be able to get by either.
Most of the people in the shanty town were too poor. No matter how many they killed, they couldnt earn much. Their main targets were definitely the people in the Marketplace.
Nevertheless, no matter how you look at it, Xu Mu had made a fortune overnight.
Maybe 1 should switch to becoming a robber? With my abilities, 1 could easily play the fool to catch the wise!
There was no helping it, the money came too quickly, and it was incredibly easy to earn!
This operation didnt even qualify as a warm-up.
However, Xu Mu quickly came back to his senses.
He had a system, why did he need to take such risks?
The Brothers of Li Family were already cautious enough, werent they? Yet, they still ended up capsizing.
Who could guarantee that he wouldnt have an accident!
I have a wife and a kid, and I earn a fair amount from my Alchemy, so forget it!
He was already able to concoct Jade Marrow Pills, so he would only earn more and more in the future, with sustainable growth. There was no need to narrow his path.
Discarding his naive thoughts, he started to thoroughly examine his loot.
No need to mention Spirit Stones, they were stashed away directly!
The Secret Skill manual was named Blood Spirit Jue. It was an evil cultivators spell, and from its description, it was many levels superior to Xu Mus Flame Spirit Jue.
The Blood Spirit Jue documented many wicked secret skills. Even though they were impressive due to the charming of blood, it was a shame the Brothers of Li Family had been bombarded to death before they even had the chance to use any of them.
If they didnt die from the first wave of the attack well, they would definitely have died in the second wave.
Besides these wicked secret skills, a few pill concocting methods were also recorded within, including the Infant Blood Pill.
Using an infant less than a month old as the main ingredient, along with Cold Heart Fruit, Snake Coil Vine, Five-Willow Root, and Shady Fern Root it can regulate blood qi, improve physical condition, and increase lifespan!
The concocting method is so simple, yet it has an effect comparable to a tier three pill. No wonder its persistently banned in the Marketplace! This could very well be the pill recipe that leaked from these two brothers!
Of course, there was another possibility, that there were other people in the Marketplace who practiced the same Martial Method.
Nothing strange about that!
Most of the cultivators in White Stone City were Loose Cultivators with no distinction of sects. As long as you pony up the money, they could sell you any secret skill.
Flames crackled at Xu Mus fingertips, quickly reducing the manual to ashes.
He didnt want to become a freak like these two men!
Besides, there was a significant difference between Flame Spirit Jue and Blood Spirit Jue. Switching would mean starting over, and the loss far outweighed the gain.
Next, he picked up and examined the pill bottles one by one.
A dozen or so pill bottles, with several types including, Fasting Pill, Qi Gathering Pill, Detoxification Pill, Hemostasis Pill, Healing Pill, Qi Replenishing Pill, and Corrosive Bone Pill.
These two were indeed connected to Sun Daocheng!
While the Corrosive Bone Pill isnt valuable, those who can concoct it are few. And considering they were from the same alley, their connection wasnt hard to guess.
Adding the fact that the Brothers of Li Family possessed the formula for the Infant Blood Pill, it was even easiest to deduce.
Maybe in the past, the three of them had collaborated more than once.
Apart from these common pills, there were also two bottles of dark red pills, Blood Essence Pill documented in the Blood Spirit Jue. Its an essential pill for the cultivation of Blood Spirit Jue, and can help to replenish ones blood during times of crisis.
It also happened to be the main source of the strong scent of blood on the Brothers of Li Family.
This pill can be concocted using beast blood, or
Human blood!
Xu Mu had no desire to try it, and planned to get rid of it when there was a chance.
The rest of the commonly seen pills might be useful in the future, so he kept them in a separate storage bag.
Speaking of which, with these two storage bags, he now possessed four storage bags in total.
From now on, I dont have to worry about having no space for bulk purchase of materials!
Next were the various talismans!
To his surprise, these dozens of talismans gave Xu Mu an unexpected delight.
Flight talismans!! These two truly were wealth-dispensing sprites!
Flight talisman is a tier three talisman. Once activated, it could enable a person to fly at low altitudes, with a speed faster than the average flying sword. Its only drawback was the time limit.
But used for escaping, it definitely was a godsend.
Just two! One for me and one for Ying Er!
Overjoyed, Xu Mu stashed them away.
As for the other talismans, they had a wide range of functionalities. He kept them all for the chance that they might be useful in the future.
Anyway, getting rid of some of these items, he had enough Spirit Stones for a while, there was no need to sell off everything.
Then he picked up the several Magic Artifacts.
The two damaged defensive Magic Artifacts need not be mentioned. They would have been worth keeping if they werent damaged, but now they could only be discarded..
