Chapter 235
"Alright, let’s sort through these corpses!" Adam took out his storage bag and dumped out all the Demon corpses, thoroughly looting everything on them.
However, there weren’t any good items, these Demons were even poorer than ordinary cultivators, Adam was somewhat disappointed.
That was until he searched the very last one and discovered a blood-red formation map, his eyes instantly lit up.
The functions of this formation map rapidly flashed through his mind.
So that’s how it is, quite an extraordinary spiritual treasure.
The Demon Race had relied on this to find Cecilia’s whereabouts.
The location-tracking formation pattern was integrated directly into the core structure, erasing the tracking formation would simultaneously destroy the treasure itself, interesting.
A deconstructed diagram appeared in Adam’s eyes.
For anyone else, there might be no solution, but for him, removing the tracking formation without destroying the map was far too easy.
Adam was just about to reach out and erase it.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and he pulled his hand back, he had a much better idea.
"Young Master, what’s wrong? What is this thing?" Cecilia asked curiously.
"I picked up a good item." The corners of Adam’s mouth curled up.
"This thing is a tracking formation map, if you want to find someone, you just place an item they’ve used onto it, and you’ll know their location."
"Although it doesn’t possess offensive power, its function is exceptionally unique, truly a rare spiritual treasure."
"Ah! How could the Demon Race have something I’ve used?!" Cecilia was startled, she had only just encountered the Demon Race for the first time.
"They probably went to our house in the capital of Silver Willow Dynasty," Adam said slowly.
"Before we head overseas, let’s make a trip back and clean up any traces related to us."
"Understood, Young Master, then let’s hurry and go!" Cecilia was a bit anxious.
"Don’t be in a rush, wait here for me." Adam looked at the ground full of Demon corpses.
I definitely can’t let these go to waste, I’ve got to make that scruffy old Daoist bleed a little.
Cecilia tilted her head in confusion, not knowing what Adam was planning, but she obediently remained hidden within the formation.
Adam took the massive pile of corpses and flew out of the aura-shielding formation, deep in the mountain forest, he found a secluded spot, he took out the South Heaven Gate Token and infused it with spiritual qi to activate it.
...
Meanwhile, the scruffy Daoist was preparing to leave the region and head to White Emperor City on the coast of the East Sea to knock on the Heaven Gate.
Suddenly, he felt Adam’s summons again.
What does he want now? Did he discover more Demons? Is he asking for help?
His brows furrowed, and his figure abruptly vanished, when he reappeared, he was right next to Adam.
"Little Friend Adam, don’t be afraid! I have come to aid you!" Stepping out of the void, the scruffy Daoist let out a mighty shout.
Divine light bloomed from his body as he entered combat readiness, he was worried he would be stepping into a Demon siege.
But when he got a clear look at his surroundings, he froze.
There was indeed a pile of Demons, but they were all lying on the ground, completely missing their heads.
"Little Friend Adam, this... did you go rob a Demon tomb?" His jaw dropped, staring at the rows of headless Demons, his head spun in confusion.
I only left for a little while, where did this massive pile of corpses come from?
"Old sir, what are you saying? Aren’t Demon tombs usually just the bellies of their own kind?" Adam smiled faintly.
The scruffy old Daoist’s mouth twitched.
That was actually very true, given the Demon Race’s habit of devouring their own whenever they were losing, a tomb likely didn’t even exist for them.
"Then... did you kill all these Demons?!" he asked in astonishment.
"That’s right, who else? I was getting ready to head back to Silver Willow Dynasty, and I ran into these Demons, so I killed them all." Adam smiled faintly and continued.
"Now that there are so many corpses, old sir, what benefits are you prepared to offer me?"
The scruffy old Daoist was speechless.
"Ahem, how can a young man be so practical? Why is your mind only focused on benefits?" He coughed, trying to shamelessly get them for free.
"It was hard work killing all these Demons, if I give these corpses to you, you’ll reap massive benefits, otherwise you wouldn’t take them, right?" Adam absolutely refused to give the scruffy Daoist another chance to freeload.
"If you don’t have presentable treasures, spirit stones are fine, I’m not picky."
"One corpse for one hundred thousand top-tier spirit stones."
The scruffy Daoist’s eyebrows shot into his hairline. "One hundred thousand top-tier spirit stones?! Are you kidding me?! Far too expensive!"
One hundred thousand top-tier spirit stones was practically enough to buy an entire ordinary mortal dynasty.
Although any of these Demons, while alive, could have rivaled a mortal dynasty on their own, they were dead now, just corpses.
An ordinary rogue cultivator could save up their entire life and still not accumulate that much wealth.
"Five thousand per corpse, not a single stone more."
"One hundred thousand," Adam replied flatly.
"Ten thousand!"
"One hundred thousand!"
"Twenty thousand!"
"One hundred thousand!"
"Thirty thousand!"
"One hundred thousand!"
The scruffy Daoist fell silent.
"Little Friend Adam, I truly don’t have that many spirit stones! Forty thousand! That is my absolute limit!"
He genuinely didn’t have more than that.
There were about fifteen corpses here in total, at forty thousand each, that was six hundred thousand top-tier spirit stones.
This was practically his entire life savings, he had only managed to collect this much because he achieved Deityhood early, spent countless years on the East Sea coast, and frequently patrolled the Mysterious Yellow Great World.
"Deal!" Adam nodded, forty thousand per corpse was already a massive profit.
It was just a pity that during the slaughter, a few corpses had been devoured by their Demon kin! Otherwise, he would have made even more!
