Chapter 647 - 594: A Great Harvest!
This female Evil Cultivator obviously has killed and robbed plenty, given that Jiang Yuebai found no less than thirteen pieces of Cultivation Technique Jade Scrolls in her Storage Bracelet.
Among them, the lowest-grade one is a Mystic Grade movement technique, while the highest-grade jade scroll is old and yellowed, suggesting frequent perusal, and is a rare Evil Dao Cultivation Technique.
Jiang Yuebai glanced at it briefly; it didn’t mention the grade, but the name was "Seven Emotions Technique," which was an incredibly sinister charming and controlling art.
Cultivating this technique allows one to plant a ’Love Seed’ in another’s body, and through charming means, nurture the Love Seed in the other’s body. Once the other falls deeply in love and the Love Seed blossoms and bears fruit, one can use dual cultivation to harvest it, converting the other’s cultivation into one’s own.
"No wonder that female Evil Cultivator was so useless; turns out her cultivation was acquired like this."
Jiang Yuebai casually tossed the Jade Scroll aside, a technique like this would cause people to fight over it, but to Jiang Yuebai, it wasn’t even as valuable as a travelogue.
Just holding it felt dirty.
Among the remaining Jade Scrolls, Jiang Yuebai sorted through and picked out a "Mirage Demon Skill," a bizarre "Hundred Birds Phoenix Technique," and a "Dragon-Elephant Demon Suppression Skill."
One must say, the techniques in this person’s Storage Bracelet were diverse, containing Evil Dao, Demon Dao, Daoist, Buddhist techniques, and even Demon Clan techniques.
The three she picked were the best among them, all at least Earth Grade Middle-Level or higher.
The "Mirage Demon Skill" is a Demon Dao technique, similar to the ’Floating Life is like a Dream Array’ Jiang Yuebai had previously experienced, and modified from the Mirage Demon Tribe’s techniques.
It falls under illusion techniques, requiring the sacrificial refining of a Mirage Demon as a prerequisite, after which one collects Yin Souls, Evil Ghosts, Demon Soul Blood Evil, and other such worldly sinister entities, handing them to the Mirage Demon to devour. Once raised, the Mirage Demon can create lifelike illusions with a wave of its hand, ensnaring people’s hearts.
Jiang Yuebai smiled holding the Jade Scroll, "Wouldn’t you know it, the Dream Demon is a kind of Mirage Demon, and Yin Souls and Evil Ghosts can be directly grabbed from behind the Nine Netherworld Gate. Having spent a hundred years of lifespan, this better not be a loss!"
If one masters this technique, the Dream Demon’s Dream Realm can be manifested in reality, effectively enhancing the Dream Demon’s power, trapping people in illusions of indulgence at any time.
The feelings she had in the Floating Life is like a Dream Array, are the same feelings anyone would have trapped in such a realm.
Jiang Yuebai set the Jade Scroll aside, intending to cultivate such an unconventional Demon Dao technique under her Chenzhou Wanderer identity.
The "Hundred Birds Phoenix Technique" is a Demon Clan technique, and Jiang Yuebai noticed some modifications in the Jade Scroll, suggesting that the female Evil Cultivator might have intended to use this technique as a reference to refine a Spiritual Artifact.
Using the Feathers of Hundred Birds, to transform the Phoenix Nirvana Power.
Jiang Yuebai rummaged through the Storage Bracelet and indeed found a lot of feather-type materials, about seventy different colorful varieties, not far from complete collection.
Seeing those excellent quality white crane feathers, Jiang Yuebai recalled her previous Taihe Umbrella.
Immortal Qi drifting, fitting perfectly with the identity of True Monarch Wangshu.
"Perhaps I could use these feathers to refine another similar Magic Treasure."
Jiang Yuebai stored the Jade Scroll and feathers, deciding to give it a try when she had time.
The last one, "Dragon-Elephant Demon Suppression Skill," also evolved from a Demon Clan technique into a Buddhist Sect technique, and Jiang Yuebai picked it because it was a Gold Attribute Cultivation Technique that could be used by Jixiang’s little mice for cultivation.
Once cultivated, little Spiritual Rats could gain dragon-elephant strength, becoming giant rats like their mouse father. The technique’s Demon Suppressing Golden Light would be perfectly compatible with their Gold-Devouring Rat bloodline, making them perfect in both offense and defense.
With the Cultivation Technique Jade Scrolls sorted, Jiang Yuebai, pleased, sifted through a large pile of Magic Treasures, mostly Low-Level Magical Artifacts, intended to devour directly.
After inspecting each one, Jiang Yuebai selected three items and placed them on the stone table.
One was an unfinished Quasi-Spiritual Artifact, another was a roll of scroll about an arm thick, steeped in Yin Qi, clearly a Ghost Dao item.
Jiang Yuebai touched it; the material felt like some kind of leather. She slowly unraveled the scroll to first see a line of bloody large words.
[Netherworld Hundred Ghosts Painting]
Continuing onward, a blue-faced, long-tongued, self-hanging ghost tied with a silk ribbon appeared, alongside small text annotations.
[Hanging Ghost, also known as Hanged Ghost, enjoys luring people to suicide]
Jiang Yuebai continued, seeing Water Ghosts, Blade Labor Ghosts, Soul Capturing Ghosts, totaling seven ghosts, with the rest of the scroll blank, seemingly waiting for other ghost illustrations.
With this scroll came a Jade Scroll, and after reading it, Jiang Yuebai realized that this scroll required the collection of Netherworld ghosts, and upon completion, could be refined into a Ghost Dao Spiritual Artifact, unleashing the ’Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts.’
Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts, mortals avoid in terror.
Clearly, the female Evil Cultivator had just obtained this treasure, stashed deeply in her Storage Bracelet, and had not yet completed the ghost collection. Should she have completed it, she could unleash Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts right in her face...
Jiang Yuebai shivered, feeling rather fortunate.
Setting the Netherworld Hundred Ghosts Painting aside, since the Upper Realm is not so averse to Ghost Dao, and the Zhuge Family even has Ghost Cultivators like Cicada Spirit True Monarch, this item could be kept under True Monarch Wangshu’s identity, facilitating the collection of Hundred Ghosts from behind the Nine Netherworld Gate.
The other two selected Magic Treasures were a Green Jade Xun, engraved with bamboo branch patterns, its sound deep and lingering, with an Array Pattern at the bottom for calming Divine Souls.
Jiang Yuebai tried it; she liked the look and tone of the Xun, appropriate for playing three pieces from the Green Lotus Melody.
In leisure time, it serves as good artistic cultivation.
The final item was a knife specifically chosen for the Chenzhou Wanderer identity, the best of the knife Magic Treasures the female Evil Cultivator had.
The blade was straight, pitch-black, with no intricate designs, understated yet substantial, and its length and weight were suitable for demonstrating the ’Asura Blood Blade.’
The knife was named Night Ban, as in listening to the wind on the night ban.
Jiang Yuebai examined the Array Pattern and materials on it carefully; this knife excelled in Armor-Breaking, Wind-Breaking, and Technique-Breaking, focusing on killing without any flashy abilities.
Its power depends entirely on the handler.
Having sorted the Magic Treasures, Jiang Yuebai then inspected the remaining materials and Elixirs and uncovered an unexpected surprise.
"This guy really knows how to hide; stashing this little bottle inside a bamboo pole, it would’ve been missed without a careful look."
Earlier, Jiang Yuebai noted the fine ebony bamboo material and discovered several Smoke Pills made with Poisonous Miasma, recalling her previous smoke rod that could emit Poisonous Miasma, contemplating refining them together casually cut the bamboo.
As a result, out fell a small medicine bottle, containing a drop of ’Rejuvenating Immortal Dew,’ something she’d only seen once at an Earth Spiritual Realm North Sea auction, where it caused chaos.
Compared to Longevity Elixirs, Rejuvenating Immortal Dew is more precious, usable only once in a cultivator’s life to increase lifespan by one-fifth.
Jiang Yuebai calculated; a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator’s lifespan is a thousand years. Taking Rejuvenating Immortal Dew would increase it by two hundred years.
Just replenished the one hundred years earlier lost, didn’t it?
However, Jiang Yuebai didn’t hurry to consume it; she still had eight hundred years ahead and wasn’t yet desperate for lifespan, so she decided to save it for future needs.
"For the rest, let me see, keep the best Elixirs, give the rest to Jixiang, and keep all materials for Bai Jiuyou to pick from—many can be used for refining Armors. This time’s truly been a great harvest; I’m rich, rich indeed, haha~"
Jiang Yuebai chuckled delightedly, but soon, her stomach embarrassingly rumbled.
Grr~~~
