Spoils of War
"Brat! Wait for your death!" Fan Nine Snakes laughed maniacally. He aimed at the hole in the vine wall and waved his hands, continuously shooting out ice bullets.
The light blue light flashed and shot into the cage grass like a firefly. The ice bomb hit the wall and immediately condensed into a large block of ice. The temperature in the cage instantly dropped.
However, Ye Kong already had a way to escape the cage. He raised his hand, and a yellow talisman appeared in his hand.
"Haha, fourth qi layer, I'm about to enter the middle qi layer!”Fan Nine Snakes was still daydreaming as he threw ice bombs into the holes like a madman. As long as he absorbed Ye Kong's spiritual energy, he would advance to the mid-stage, and when that time came, he would be able to control magic tools, greatly increasing his strength.
"Then I'll congratulate Brother Fan in advance.”Suddenly, a cold voice came from beside him. Fan Nine Snakes felt that it was very familiar.
Turning his head, he saw that the moonlight had just risen, and the clear white light sprinkled into the empty space in the forest. A young man in green stood proudly, his face full of mockery.
"You…!" Fan Nine Snake's eyes widened in disbelief. His fat face looked as if he had seen a ghost. He mumbled," How did you get out?!"”
Ye Kong ignored him. Seizing the opportunity, he grabbed his dagger and stabbed it at Fan Nine Snake's throat. Fan Nine Snake was caught off guard, and he didn't resist at all. The blade of his dagger drew a strange arc in the dark, disappearing into Fan Nine Snake's thick neck.
Fan Nine Snake's widened eyes were filled with despair, unwillingness, and questions before he died.
" I'll let you know when you die…There's a kind of talisman called the Wall Passing Talisman…You can pass through any solid wall…"
Ye Kong was afraid that the fat man wouldn't die, so he drew his sword and stabbed him again and again... Under the moonlight, the blood was a dark red color, and it was a terrifying sight. On the small grass, the sound of a dagger piercing through a human body could be heard.
After countless stabs, Fan Nine Snake's head was separated from his body, and his head fell to the ground. He couldn't be any more dead. Only then did Ye Kong heave a sigh of relief.
Panting, he sat on the side and wanted to relax for a while. Then, he saw the storage bag hanging on Fan Nine Snakes 'waist.
"You're still a greenhorn. You're still not familiar with killing and snatching treasures.”Ye Kong rushed over and grabbed the storage pouch.
There weren't many things in the storage bag, but it made Ye Kong ecstatic, because they were all things that a rookie cultivator like him needed.
First of all, the most eye-catching thing was the small sword magic tool. It was a decent mid-grade magic tool, and it was also Ye Kong's first time getting his hands on a magic tool. He played around with it endlessly. The moment he held the small sword magical treasure, Ye Kong understood Fan Nine Snake's feelings." If I reach the fourth layer of the Aura Refining realm, I can use it!”
Next, what caught Ye Kong's attention was the remaining Spirit Stones. Fan Nine Snakes had wasted quite a bit of them, leaving behind only four in the end. They were placed in a small black cloth bag. This was also Ye Kong's first time obtaining Spirit Stones.
He curiously took out a piece. It was a black water-type spirit stone. It was about the size of a fresh jujube. It was flat, square, and polyhedron, a little like an extra-large rock sugar.
Ye Kong gripped the Spirit Stone tightly, and with a deep breath, an extremely pure stream of Water Spirit Qi flowed from his palm into his eight extraordinary meridians. This Water Spirit Qi was much purer and denser than the Spirit Qi in the air.
Ye Kong didn't dare to take too much of the spiritual stones, so he quickly put them back into his storage bag. What caught his attention were two jade green bamboo buckets the size of mahjong tiles.
Ye Kong guessed that these were the spirit cards used to store the cultivation technique's chants, so he quickly grabbed one, held it in his hand, and probed it with his divine sense.
The " Cauldron Destroying Pill Seizing Technique " was the cultivation technique Fan Nine Snake had obtained from the remains of the Ancient Barbarian cultivators. Ye Kong took a quick look at it and realized that it was basically useless to him. He had already cultivated the Five Elements Ascension to Immortality Sutra, so he couldn't afford to waste time on re-cultivating the basic cultivation technique. Moreover, this barbarian cultivation technique was too cruel, and cultivation stoves were hard to come by. Ye Kong gave it a cursory look before putting it back into his storage bag.
He then checked the other spirit card and found that it contained what Ye Kong needed the most at the moment. It contained the incantations for several low-level spells, including Fireball, Ice Bullet, Quicksand, Heavenly Eye, Telekinesis, and so on.
"From now on, I'm no longer a cultivator who doesn't know magic!”Ye Kong was extremely excited. These spells could be said to be the best harvest he had gotten this time. After learning these spells, he would have truly stepped onto the path of immortality, and he would basically be invincible against mortals.
Ye Kong took the spirit card, but he was reluctant to put it back. He looked into his storage bag again and found that besides the dried meat, there was also a talisman inside.
This talisman was completely different from Ye Kong's yellow paper talisman. This was a Spiritual Talisman, the same width washi talisman, but shorter. It was completely jade white, and it was unknown what material it was made of.
On the front of the talisman, the words 'Spiritual Cultivation Sitting Array' were written in the ancient language of the Cangnan Continent.
"This is an array talisman!" Ye Kong was shocked. This was one of the items he needed. Judging from its name, it was a formation that could be used during meditation. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about being interrupted when he practiced at home.
"No wonder everyone on this continent likes to kill and steal treasures. It's indeed easy to come here.”Ye Kong smiled, then went back to his storage pouch to check on his spoils of war.
But this time, he didn't find anything of value. There was only a pile of silver in the corner of the bag, about two thousand taels.
Although it was a lot of silver, Ye Kong didn't care about it at all. As an Immortal, he didn't need to worry about money.
After putting the spell talisman into his storage bag, Ye Kong eagerly began to learn the Fireball Technique. With Spiritual Power, learning these techniques was no trouble at all. In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he would be able to successfully cast a small fireball.
He threw a few small fireballs at Fan Nine Snake's body, and the body was immediately burned to ashes.
After Ye Kong finished cleaning up the battlefield, he suddenly saw the Cage Grass still standing in the middle of the grass field. His eyes lit up." Since it's a low-tier spirit herb, then wouldn't the sap inside be able to make talismans?"”
With this thought in mind, Ye Kong took out his small sword magic tool and began to hack at the Cage Grass. However, Ye Kong couldn't cut down all of the Cage Grass, so he had to cut down as much as he could.
After chopping for a while, he finally cut off one side of the wall of Cage Grass and divided it into three pieces before stuffing it into his storage bag.
By the time he was done with all this, the moon was already high in the sky. Ye Kong was worried about Nandu City, so he didn't dare to waste any more time and hurried back!
At night, the forest was pitch-black, and there was no point of reference, so it was easy to get lost. Fortunately, Fan Nine Snakes 'horse knew the way, so Ye Kong rode on it and allowed the old horse to walk out of the forest.
He didn't know how long he had walked for, but he finally saw the red mangroves. He was completely relieved.
The Cangnan Continent was different from Earth. The plants here did not grow by photosynthesis. For example, the red trees grew by relying on spiritual energy. The trees were red in color. At night, they emitted a red dark light, illuminating the entire forest as if it was on fire. At a glance, they looked majestic and glorious.
"Judging from the color, it should be fire spiritual energy. I wonder if it can be absorbed by immortal cultivators?”Seated on his horse, Ye Kong broke off a fiery red branch and discovered that he couldn't absorb any of the spiritual energy within. Moreover, after the branch was broken off, it quickly dimmed.
"Looks like it won't work. Otherwise, all those Xiuxianists would fight to cut down the trees.”
The forest was very large. It had taken him four hours to enter in the morning, and it would have taken him about the same amount of time to leave. He walked all the way until the moon set and the sky started to brighten. Only then did Ye Kong reach the edge of the mangroves.
Before he even left the forest, he saw many figures walking slowly into the forest. Ye Kong focused his gaze and saw that they were the Ye Family's personal guards.
"Liu Changqing!" Ye Kong called out, then hurried over to greet him.
When the bodyguards saw Ye Kong, they immediately cheered." The Eighth Young Master is back!"”The sound waves spread out.
On the prairie, a young girl standing in the middle of thousands of candle grasses heard the news and immediately shouted," Brother Ye Kong!”He ran in the direction of the sound.
Ye Kong got off his horse and walked out side by side with Liu Changqing, listening to him talk about the situation in Nandu.
In the morning, just as Ye Kong and Fan Nine Snakes left the city, someone came back to report that the Lu brothers had gathered with Liu Changqing's personal guards to surround the Fan family residence. They had already found out that Fan Jiulong did not go to the Hidden Spring Pavilion that day. However, there were many martial arts masters in the Fan family courtyard. If they attacked forcefully, there would be many casualties. Moreover, it might attract the intervention of the Mayor's Office in broad daylight.
Although the Nandu Mayor was someone Ye Haoran had arranged for, he couldn't go too far. Moreover, he wasn't even close to Ye Kong, so he might not give him any face.
However, Ye Kong had already thought of this. He had Lu Qin use an Invisibility Charm to sneak in, open the Fan manor's back door, and everyone charged in together.
The little girl Lu Qin was also bold. She took advantage of the Invisibility Talisman and the Wall Passing Talisman to enter the hall where Fan Jiulong was, wanting to kidnap him. But who would have thought that ever since Fan Jiulong's attempted assassination attempt by Ye Kong, he had become more cautious? He had set up a trap behind his seat, and as soon as he stepped on it, a net would immediately appear and capture the person.
The little girl Lu Qin didn't notice it either, and she stepped on it. Fortunately, she had learned quite a bit of Shadow Dance martial arts from Ye Kong, so she managed to jump out of the net before it closed.
Fan Jiulong and his subordinates were alarmed. They knew that someone had come. They waved their swords wildly in the room. The little girl was almost injured. However, in the end, they stuck a calming talisman on Fan Jiulong's forehead and ended the battle.
"You're quite capable." Ye Kong said with a smile.
"That's right, the little girl has done a great job this time.”Liu Changqing nodded as well, then whispered to Ye Kong," Eighth Young Master, those talismans of hers are really magical. She must be an immortal, right? Can I take Miss Lu as my master?"”
"Take her as your master?" Ye Kong couldn't help but laugh. When he looked up, he saw Lu Qin striding toward him like a little deer. He laughed and said," Then you'd better tell her yourself."”
" Big Brother Ye Kong!" The little girl had been worried the entire night. Now that she saw Ye Kong, she was so excited that she threw herself at him, not caring about her shyness. However, when she reached him, she noticed Liu Changqing and the others standing beside her, and Lu Qin immediately braked.
Looking at the little girl's pretty face, which still had a few teardrops of excitement, even Ye Kong, who had made up his mind not to provoke her, couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart.
"Liu Changqing, listen up! Turn around!" Ye Kong shouted.
Liu Changqing smiled." Reporting to General, the enemy is fierce. We can't fight them in one round. We might as well leave it to General to attack alone. We'll go back to the camp to cook first."”
"Then hurry up and leave."
"Haha, brothers, let's go to Hidden Spring Pavilion. Eighth Young Master is treating us.”
When the soldiers heard about the Hidden Spring Brothel, they all ran away in the blink of an eye. Only then did Ye Kong open his wide sleeves and make a gesture of accepting Lu Qin's embrace.
The little girl's face was red as she lowered her head and held on for a while. In the end, she couldn't resist the temptation of her sweetheart's chest. She stepped forward and gently hugged Ye Kong.
"Sigh, it's my fault. I've fallen in love too.”
