Volume 1: Rebellion in Chang'an Chapter 6: Villains usually die because they talk too much
True Man Xueshi has five disciples, all of whom are Qi-refining cultivators. Jie Shi and Song Qing were disciples that True Man Xueshi accepted two years ago. They are ranked fourth and youngest among the five disciples respectively, and are also the two with the lowest cultivation levels.
But if you think about it, you can guess that if someone is assigned to do such hard labor as carrying corpses, how high can his status be?
According to Jie Shi, after True Man Xueshi went out for a few days, their eldest senior brother who had reached the eighth level of Qi Refining also left and is not in the Corpse Refining Cave at the moment.
Okay, not only is the boss not here, but the elite monsters have also escaped.
Lu Qingshan's eyebrows jumped and he felt very satisfied.
In other words, there are only four Qi-refining monks left in the Corpse Refining Cave at the moment, and the two most worthless minions have been taken down by himself.
The other two Qi Refining cultivators, one is at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and the other is at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and they are all Dharma cultivators.
…
"Do you know how villains usually die?" Jie Shi, who had been very cooperative in answering Lu Qingshan's questions, suddenly spoke up, with a malicious tone in his voice: "Villains usually die because they talk too much!"
A jade pendant hanging under Jie Shi's clothes on his waist suddenly flashed a brown-yellow light, and the light instantly spread throughout Jie Shi's body. One could see that Jie Shi's exposed skin was covered with a layer of light gray-yellow soil.
…
[Stone Skin]
Level: First-grade earth magic
Casting cost: 5 spiritual power/minute
Description: Cover your skin with a layer of rock, which increases your defense. Ordinary weapons will not be able to penetrate your stone skin.
Spell Effect: Defense +1
Notes : Rock solid!
…
A very useful defensive spell.
The short blade that Lu Qingshan seized from Song Qing was not a magic weapon used by cultivators, but just an ordinary secular weapon. After Jie Shi performed the Stone Skin Technique, the short blade could not break Jie Shi's skin at all.
"Do you know why I answered your questions so cooperatively and told you everything about the Corpse Refining Cave?" Jie Shi looked at Lu Qingshan proudly and grinned, "You don't really think I'm begging for mercy because I'm afraid of death? I'm not stupid. How could I let me go after you have asked what you want to know? The reason I acted like this is just to delay time and wait for the Earth Spirit Pendant to charge. If I hadn't used the Stone Skin Technique of the Earth Spirit Pendant when fighting with my senior brother two days ago, do you think you could threaten me? I have to say that as a mortal, it is really amazing that you can force me to this point. Unfortunately, you are too greedy and didn't kill me immediately. How could you possibly imagine the methods of the cultivators?"
Lu Qingshan looked at the smug Jie Shi with a smile, but said nothing.
When Xie Shi saw that Lu Qingshan didn't respond, his eyelids twitched and he felt something was wrong.
A cold light flashed, mixed with a hint of golden light, and the short blade that Lu Qingshan had been pressing against Jie Shi's neck from beginning to end instantly swept across his throat.
A huge gap appeared on Jie Shi's neck, and bright red blood flowed out.
Cut the throat with one knife!
Jie Shi covered his neck which was oozing blood, and looked at the talisman which had appeared on Lu Qingshan's left hand at some point and was gradually turning into ashes due to use. An expression of disbelief appeared on his face, and he fell backwards straight away, like a puddle of mud, and fell to the ground without a sound.
…
[Sharp Blade Talisman] (First Grade): The seal engraves a first grade spell, the Sharp Blade Technique.
【Blade Technique】
Level: First-grade gold magic
Casting cost: 5 spiritual power/minute
Description: By temporarily enchanting the weapon, the sharpness of the weapon will be greatly improved.
Spell Effect: Weapon Sharpness +1
Note: Solid as a rock?
"You launched a fatal attack, you caused 11 points of damage to Jie Shi (lv3)!"
"The target dies, you kill the world (lv3), and gain 30 experience points!"
…
Looking at Jie Shi lying on the floor, Lu Qingshan nodded and said to himself, "Indeed, villains usually die because they talk too much."
The sharp blade talisman came from Song Qing's storage bag. The moment he became a cultivator, Lu Qingshan quickly counted Song Qing's storage bag in his arms. As expected of a talisman master, Song Qing's storage bag was filled with more than a dozen talismans.
The moment Jie Shi activated the Stoneskin Technique, Lu Qingshan quietly took out the Sharp Blade Talisman from Song Qing's storage bag that he had seized, and quickly used the Sharp Blade Technique on his own short blade.
Jie Shi, who was full of complacency, obviously did not notice this detail, and in his heart, he always believed that Lu Qingshan was just a mortal. He would never have thought that Lu Qingshan could open Song Qing's storage bag.
After searching Jie Shi's body for a while (while searching the body), he soon found a milky white jade pendant from his waist.
【Earth Spirit Pendant】
Level: Low-grade mortal weapon
Effect of the magic weapon: Automatically absorbs the spiritual power of heaven and earth to recharge. Every three days, it can actively activate a spell without consumption: Stoneskin. (It will take 72 hours to complete the recharging)
Note: It may save your life at the critical moment, or it may not.
In "Nine Heavens", the level setting of magic tools is the same as that of skills, with four levels: mortal, spiritual, heavenly, and Taoist. However, unlike skills, each level of magic tools can be further divided into four grades: low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade.
The Earth Spirit Pendant is only a lowest-level magic weapon, but at least it is a magic weapon. Lu Qingshan hung the Earth Spirit Pendant around his waist with satisfaction, and then hurriedly counted his gains.
The wealth of the two low-level cultivators was not that rich, so Lu Qingshan carefully counted their storage bags.
Two jade slips containing the Qi-inducing technique, one jade slip containing a complete collection of first-grade magic talismans, and two jade slips containing first-grade five- element magic .
These jade slips are the most basic jade slips and are of little use to Lu Qingshan.
In addition, there are twenty first-grade spirit stones, two bottles of fasting pills, each bottle contains twelve fasting pills, and finally, there are several first-grade spirit talismans of various types. If Lu Qingshan wants to get rid of his current predicament, the talismans will undoubtedly be extremely useful.
Spirit Stone is the currency of cultivators. It is a stone filled with spiritual energy from heaven and earth and has a variety of uses.
For example, absorbing the spiritual energy from spirit stones for cultivation can speed up the cultivator's cultivation; setting up formations also requires the consumption of spirit stones; during battles, when casting high-level spells and suffering a great loss of spiritual power, one can also quickly replenish the body's spiritual power by absorbing the spiritual energy from spirit stones, greatly enhancing combat endurance, not to mention many other functions for now.
Spirit stones are divided into nine grades according to the amount of spiritual power they contain and their degree of purity, which corresponds exactly to the nine levels of cultivators' cultivation. Each high-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for ten low-grade spirit stones.
In fact, the nine-grade system is very common in "Nine Heavens". For example, the spell level of cultivators, the level of secondary occupations, or the level of talismans and elixirs are all divided into nine grades.
The Bigu Pill is a first-grade pill specially made for Qi-refining monks who are not yet able to practice Bigu. The effect is that every time you take one pill, you can go without food for a month. A bottle of twelve pills is exactly enough for a year.
It's a pity that no sword techniques were found, but it's not surprising. It would be strange if sword techniques could be found in the storage bags of two low-level magic practitioners.
The next step is to deal with the remaining two Qi-refining monks in the Corpse Refining Cave and then leave here.
Lu Qingshan thought so as he stroked his chin with his fingers.
You have to act quickly, otherwise if you delay a little and happen to run into the return of the Blood Corpse Master, you will be in tears.
