Chapter 196: Such good luck smells fishy! (2/2)

”Eh, Shuhang, you know this place?” Senior Brother Three Realms asked.

”Yeah, there was an organization here that once had a personal feud with me. But now, everything has ended,” Song Shuhang smiled. He was in high spirits.

”You came all the way here to deal with this organization?” Senior Brother Three Realms asked.

”Yeah, but… all the members have already been killed by the ghost generals and resentful ghosts. I initially still had some questions for them.” Song Shuhang sighed and continued, ”This organization used to exterminate villagers—sacrificing human beings to resentful ghosts. But now, they have all died in the hands of resentful ghosts. Every injustice has its perpetrator, every debt has its debtor.”

Senior Brother Three Realms nodded and then said, ”If low-ranking cultivators once resided here, Shuhang, you should search this place. For all you know, you might chance upon some extra loot.”

As long as it was a cultivator organization, regardless of its size, there was bound to be some hidden treasure h.o.a.rd here.

Song Shuhang quickly understood his words. When he’d killed Altar Master, he managed to loot a black leather suitcase with some good stuff. This was the base of Altar Master, it should definitely contain more treasures, right?

”Let me lend you a helping hand,” Senior Brother Three Realms activated his innate skill, ‘Clairvoyance’. His eyes started to scan the entire s.p.a.ce within the stone wall.

❄️❄️❄️

With the help of Senior Brother Three Realms, Song Shuhang could quickly retrieve the items one by one from the stone wall.

Firstly, there was a large black leather suitcase with money—there was about 3,000,000 RMB in cash inside it.

Altar Master and his organization did not want to keep too much money in the bank. They normally handled their transactions in cash. Originally, Altar Master ama.s.sed billions in cash, diamonds, gold, etc… but after his death, most of those had been split amongst his underlings. What was left behind was the three millions in cash, temporarily stored at their headquarters as emergency funds.

Apart from that, there was a box of black pearls, with strong and thick ghost qi within them.

”What are these things?” Song Shuhang was puzzled. They were definitely not common black pearls.

Senior Brother Three Realms glanced at them, then smiled and said, ”These must be the ‘soul beads’ left behind after the death of ghosts. Apart from ghost cultivators, n.o.body else would collect these things, they are pretty much useless.”

Song Shuhang nodded his head. They were probably useless.

Just as he thought as such, the ghost spirit in his Heart Aperture sent a vague message to him—food!

Food?

Song Shuhang immediately thought of the the scene where the ghost spirit devoured the ghost general. Could it be that these soul beads could be given to the ghost spirit as food? Then this box of soul beads wasn’t useless after all.

Lastly… there was a pile of medicinal herbs.

When he saw those medicinal herbs, he felt that they looked very familiar.

”Ah, are these the medicinal herbs to refine blood and qi pills?” Song Shuhang exclaimed in shock. He was very surprised—the medicinal herbs in the list given to him by Senior White were all right before his eyes!

”Seems like Senior Medicine Master taught you quite a number of things~ these are indeed the medicinal herbs for refining qi and blood pills.”

”Senior Brother, I need these medicinal herbs. Can I take the majority of them?” Song Shuhang asked brazenly as he was preparing to split the battle spoils with Senior Brother Three Realms.

”Hahahaha, it’s fine. You can have all of them!” Senior Brother Three Realms patted Song Shuhang on his shoulder. ”I have absolutely no need for cash and the soul beads; as for qi and blood pills, I already have as many as I need. Since you’re in need of these items, you don’t have to stand on ceremony. Besides… the number of resentful ghosts, ghost soldiers, and ghost generals that I caught today had already surpa.s.sed my expectations, I am extremely satisfied with this fruitful trip.”

Song Shuhang brazenly nodded and said, ”Then, Senior Brother, I’m not gonna stand on ceremony with you!”

He really needed this stuff—it wasn’t time to be polite and pretend he didn’t need them.

If he continued to insist that Senior Brother Three Realms took some of the herbs, and if the latter ended up accepting and kept some of it, then Song Shuhang would really regret the squandered opportunity.

With the help of Senior Brother Three Realms, he managed to pack the medicinal herbs, taking along the box of ‘soul beads’ and cash too.

Senior Brother Three Realms smiled and said, ”Let’s leave. Even though we have eradicated the ghosts here, this place is still somewhat dark and eerie, and it isn’t comfortable for us to stay in long.”

After finis.h.i.+ng his sentence, he used his flying sword and brought Song Shuhang along with him, leaving the empty area within the mountain and returning to Luo Xin street area.

Song Shuhang stared at the box and the package in his hand.

Today, his luck was too good. Not only did he successfully get rid of the harmful underlings of Altar Master, he also managed to gather all the medicinal herbs required for concocting the ‘qi and blood pill’ as Senior White instructed him to!

Such a luck was practically defying the natural order!

However… today’s luck was undoubtedly good, but why did he keep feeling uneasy, like something smelled fishy?

Was he overlooking something?

❄️❄️❄️

At this moment, in the sky, Branch Leader Jing Mo clenched his teeth as he headed towards J-City’s Luo Xin street area.

Beside him was an arrogant man standing on a bottle gourd—he was a helper found by Branch Leader Jing Mo, a Fourth Stage loose cultivator!

It took him a long time to wait for ‘Stressed by a Mountain of Books’ to separate from the senior cultivator next to him. Such an opportunity should not be missed, and hence, Branch Leader Jing Mo swore that he would get hold of ‘Stressed by a Mountain of Books’ and retrieve the Blood G.o.d Crystal!

The loose cultivator next to him was Branch Leader Jing Mo’s one and only friend. He came out of seclusion just now, and since he had nothing better to do, he decided to accompany Branch Leader Jing Mo for a stroll.

When he heard that Branch Leader Jing Mo was going to deal with another cultivator, he excitedly tagged along.
