“Huu… huu…”
He Pingsheng gasped for air.
The recent duel hadn’t consumed much of his strength or Qi.
However, this first kill had taken a significant toll on his mental energy.
Fear!
Terror!
Daze!
Survival!
Relief!
Various emotions churned in the heart of the eighteen-year-old youth.
This placed immense pressure on his psyche.
But He Pingsheng’s mind was clear. He approached the Black Wind Boss, who had been blown into countless fragments, and picked up the Black Wind Boss’s hundred treasure sack.
He opened it and took a look.
Several hundred Spirit Stones, some Earth Rank Magic Treasures, and two Cultivation Techniques.
That was all.
He Pingsheng didn't have time to meticulously count, so he dumped everything from the hundred treasure sack into his own hundred treasure sack.
Then he went over to the third brother.
The third brother was already dead.
A two-foot-long ice arrow was stuck in his body.
The ice arrow had pierced through his body from his back.
His entire body had turned into an ice person.
He Pingsheng ignored the ice person and instead took out his hundred treasure sack as well.
He took everything inside.
“Go…”
Whoosh…
Hoisting his paper crane, He Pingsheng once again flew into the clouds, heading towards the Sect.
His hundred treasure sack now contained so many items and Spirit Stones that it couldn’t even hold them all.
Therefore, He Pingsheng naturally didn't dare to return to the Sect so brazenly.
What if someone searched his hundred treasure sack?
How would he explain so many Spirit Stones?
He would only die.
So, He Pingsheng returned to the Outer Sect, to his own small courtyard.
After closing the main gate, he sat cross-legged on the bed, tossing all the items onto the bed and began to inventory them.
Killing the Black Wind Three Fiends’ boss and third brother had yielded quite a few items.
First were the Spirit Stones.
Approximately eight hundred in total.
Adding He Pingsheng’s original eleven hundred, he now had about nineteen hundred.
Besides the Spirit Stones, there were also Magical Artifacts.
Two Flying Swords!
One Medium Grade Magical Artifact and one Low Grade Magical Artifact.
One Medium Grade Magical Artifact 【Chuan Yun Boat】.
“This is interesting!” He Pingsheng picked up the palm-sized Flying Boat Magical Artifact and looked at it, muttering to himself, “This thing is surprisingly fast. I can use it when traveling long distances in the future!”
Besides these, there were no other Magical Artifacts.
He Pingsheng then took out four books.
These four books were all Cultivation Techniques.
Two Fire Attribute Cultivation Techniques!
One Golden Attribute Cultivation Technique, and one Wood Attribute Cultivation Technique.
Fire and Wood Attributes were useless to He Pingsheng.
However, this Golden Attribute Cultivation Technique could be strengthened.
This way, He Pingsheng would possess Cultivation Techniques of the Golden, Wood, Fire, and Earth Attributes, leaving only the Water Attribute among the Five Elements.
After inventorying the items, night fell.
He Pingsheng took out the Storage Pouch again and, with a rustle, poured all the Spirit Stones from the Storage Pouch onto the ground.
Then, he threw the Storage Pouch into the gathering treasure basin.
Strengthen!
Let’s see what this Storage Pouch can be strengthened into!
With endless fantasies, He Pingsheng lay in his small room and quickly fell asleep.
He was startled awake several times during the night, dreaming of the battle with the Black Wind Three Fiends.
The night finally passed, albeit roughly.
Early the next morning, He Pingsheng rubbed his somewhat swollen eyes, got out of bed, and reached under the bed to pull out the gathering treasure basin.
Inside the gathering treasure basin were two Storage Pouches.
“Huu…” Seeing the two Storage Pouches, He Pingsheng breathed a sigh of relief: it had been successfully strengthened.
He just didn’t know what quality this Storage Pouch had been strengthened into.
He reached out and randomly picked one up.
His Divine Thought attached to the Storage Pouch, then extended into its space.
This…
The next moment, He Pingsheng was instantly shocked: Ten zhang space?
That’s right!
Inside this Storage Pouch, there was a ten zhang space.
Ten zhang wide, ten zhang long, ten zhang high!
It could hold many items.
“It stores much more than a High Grade Storage Pouch!” He Pingsheng gasped in shock, “Could it be… Supreme Grade?”
“This…”
After his Divine Thought attached, some other information about the Storage Pouch was also captured by He Pingsheng.
Besides the increased space, this Storage Pouch had another function: invisibility.
That’s right!
Once hung around the neck, the Storage Pouch would directly turn into nothingness.
Even He Pingsheng himself couldn't see it; he could only communicate with the Storage Pouch using his Divine Thought.
“This is great!”
He Pingsheng finally breathed a complete sigh of relief this time.
Originally, he was still worried about how to handle the Storage Pouch.
For example, if elders saw it, wouldn't it be too ostentatious?
Even if you hid it inside your clothes, it would be useless; others could scan it with their Divine Thought and still detect your Storage Pouch.
But now it was good; the Storage Pouch was directly invisible.
It was the kind that even an opponent’s Divine Thought couldn't detect.
Then, in the future, he could use it without any qualms.
Hahahahaha…
“Store!”
He Pingsheng, with a rustle, put all his items into this Storage Pouch.
From now on, he no longer had to bury things in the dirt.
As for the other Storage Pouch, he also attached his Divine Thought to it and hung it on his body.
Since it could be invisible, there was no difference between wearing one or two.
As for the hundred treasure sack, He Pingsheng still used it to carry some items.
For example, a Low Grade Flying Sword, his own Pill Furnace, and also a dozen Spirit Stones, a Low Grade Restricted Array material, and a few worn-out low-level Cultivation Techniques.
He wasn't afraid of others knowing about these things.
After doing all this, He Pingsheng left his courtyard and went straight up the mountain.
After returning to Xiuzhu Peak, he greeted Zhao Ling’er, and then He Pingsheng went into seclusion again.
This time in seclusion, he had quite a few things to do.
First, refine the two Magical Artifacts: 【Flying Sword】 and 【Green Wood Shield】.
When facing enemies in the future, with one for attack and one for defense, he would be much more composed, unlike the chaotic situation yesterday.
Strengthen Cultivation Techniques.
He also strengthened two Cultivation Techniques, one Golden Attribute and one Earth Attribute, separately.
Then he chose an Earth Attribute one and began cultivating it.
Day after day!
In the blink of an eye, another year passed.
He Pingsheng cultivated the Earth Attribute and Golden Attribute Cultivation Techniques, bringing both to the sixth layer of the Qi Refinement Stage.
Looking inward, he could see four Qi vortexes rotating in his Dantian.
Each Qi vortex was a collection of spiritual power of a certain attribute.
The reason he cultivated so quickly was that He Pingsheng had already broken through the physical barrier from the first to the sixth layer previously, so there were no Bottlenecks. The so-called subsequent cultivation of other attributes was merely the accumulation of Qi.
It happened naturally, so it was fast.
Besides cultivating, He Pingsheng also paid great attention to Spells after the last battle.
He also cultivated an Earth Attribute defensive Spell called: Earth Armor Technique.
When this Spell was cast, it could form a layer of armor outside the body, like mountain rock, with extremely strong defense.
He gained another means of self-preservation.
He Pingsheng felt that if he encountered the Black Wind Three Fiends again at this moment, he would definitely be able to handle them calmly.
