Concerning the strange phenomenon of Chen Yuehua's storage bag, Shu Han didn't dare to take it lightly.
To eradicate a problem, you have to uproot it. This was the first lesson he learned when he entered the world of cultivation.
Master Dragon Mystical, who had been controlling the Dragon Mystical Sect for more than twenty years, ended in defeat in the forbidden land.
Easily erasing the imprint on the storage bag, Shu Han began to inventory Chen Yuehua's collection.
Unlike the storage bags of Qiu Changchun and Qiao Xiangrong, Chen Yuehua's collection was extremely rich. There were eight hundred spirit stones alone, as well as various rare medicinal herbs. Among them was the Blood Sea Ginseng, which Shu Han wanted to use to make the Seven Poisons Water!
Seeing these rich collections, he couldn't help but sigh. The three siblings must have taken many lives to acquire these. However, Shu Han felt that the siblings' feelings for each other were sincere. At least Chen Yuehua did want to exchange herself for the safety of the other two at first.
Maybe the story Chen Yuehua told was true. But it didn't matter.
During more than a year of heading to the Great Cloud, Shu Han saw many landscapes and heard many stories. He also thought about morality and justice. He realized later that there was no absolute standard of good and evil in the world.
A matter viewed from different perspectives will yield different results. For instance, a hungry wolf eating a sheep is absolutely evil from the sheep's perspective. But from the wolf's point of view, eating sheep is natural. Good and evil are illusions. Only interest and perspective are truth.
Today, he and Chen Yuehua stood on opposite sides. Even if she said a lot, it had nothing to do with Shu Han. Simply because their positions were different.
Recalling the recent dispute, Shu Han still thought he was naive. Because of seeing the siblings' bond, he felt compassion. The story he fabricated just now was more accurate to say it was for him to hear, reminding him not to believe in others' one-sided words! If he made a completely rational judgment, Shu Han wouldn't have talked so much with them, he would have simply eradicated them!
"I can't be like this in the future!"
After a wake-up call, he continued to rummage through the storage bag. Shu Han found a golden foil among a pile of miscellaneous items. This golden foil felt very strange. It seemed soft, yet it was indestructible. Thin as it was, it was like a tough steel sheet.
Shu Han felt it strange, so he gathered his mana in his hand. But the golden foil drew Shu Han's magic power the moment it sensed it.
With the infusion of magic power, small characters began to appear on the golden foil.
"It's the cultivation method of the Clear Bright Spiritual Eye and the list for making the elixir!"
Shu Han couldn't help but laugh out loud. It turned out that what Chen Yuehua said about not having any written records was all a trick to fool him.
This golden foil looks like a page from a book, precious in value. How could she possibly bear to destroy it?
He looked at the back of the golden page, where a different spell was recorded.
External Incarnation Technique!
After reading about the External Incarnation Technique, Shu Han's expression was both excited and worried.
Now he understood why the storage bag still retained Chen Yuehua's imprint after she died. That's because Chen Yuehua didn't actually die!
Learning the External Incarnation Technique can form another incarnation. This is different from an avatar, it is a bona fide second body. When the original body is unharmed, the external incarnation sleeps and doesn't affect the original body. But once the original body is injured or dies, the consciousness of the original body can immediately transfer to the external incarnation. Of course, one can also use the external incarnation to act outside, while the original body hides in a safe place.
This is like having an extra life!
But when Shu Han read about the conditions required to cultivate an external incarnation, his eyebrows furrowed.
The cultivation level of the external incarnation is based on the level of the original body when it is cultivated, and it will not grow after being cultivated. Moreover, an external incarnation of a certain cultivation level requires the corpse of a cultivator from a higher realm as a base.
For example, if Shu Han now wanted to cultivate an external incarnation in the Qi Refining Stage, he must use the body of a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator as a base.
This condition is really too difficult.
Shu Han had killed Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, but he also deeply understood the terror of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.
Getting the complete body of a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator is as difficult as reaching for the sky!
He muttered, "I wonder how Chen Yuehua cultivated her external incarnation..."
...
As the sun set, at this time, Kang Guangwen and the others left the Green Stone Gathering.
Shu Han had been waiting here for a long time.
Kang Guangwen clasped his fist and said, "Brother Shu Han, I kept you waiting. The storage bag is not easy to sell now, it took so long to sell it out. Did Brother Shu Han manage to exchange for any treasures you liked at the fair?"
"I don't have many spirit stones on hand. I was just opening my eyes at this fair, and I didn't have the spirit stones to buy any treasures."
Xie Ming said, "That's how it is when you first enter the world of cultivation. After you and us two go down to the mine, you can get a reward of ten spirit stones from the White Feathers Sect."
Shu Han followed them and asked, "I'm actually a bit puzzled. Isn't the White Feathers Sect afraid of loose cultivators embezzling spirit stones after they mine them?"
Kang Guangwen laughed, "The big sects dare to hire loose cultivators because they naturally have a solution. Over the years, almost no one has been able to smuggle spirit stones out of the spirit mine."
"Oh, how do they manage that? They don't check the storage bags, do they?"
Kang Guangwen explained, "Can a cultivator's storage bag be casually checked by others? If that's the case, they would have a hard time recruiting loose cultivators for mining. In fact, before mining, we have to pass through a spirit recording array. This array records the spirit energy information of both your body and your storage bag. After mining and handing over the spirit stones, we have to go through the array again. If the two checks match, you can pass. Otherwise, you will have to thoroughly search your body and storage bag to verify whether you have stolen any spirit stones."
Shu Han asked again, "What if I don't bring out the spirit stones and use the mined spirit stones to cultivate in the mine?"
Kang Guangwen laughed, "The spirit recording array will also record the spirit energy of the cultivator's body. If the spirit energy after mining is much different from before, it will be considered as stealing spirit stones for cultivation. However, few people do this because spirit stones are mainly used to replenish magic power. Their effect on accelerating cultivation is far less than that of elixirs. Moreover, life in the mines is tough and dangerous, few people are willing to stay for a long time."
"I see, everything is arranged properly."
Shu Han pondered and asked, "Older brothers, I have a question. Mining once can get a reward of ten spirit stones. Isn't this reward too generous?"
Kang Guangwen and Shu Han looked at each other.
"Brother Shu Han is indeed more alert than others. Although mining may mean not seeing the light of day for several months and is very hard, these are insignificant compared to ten spirit stones. The root cause is that mining has a certain degree of danger. Every year, a batch of Qi Refining cultivators die in the mines."
Shu Han's eyelids jumped, they finally got to the point.
"The first risk is that the veins in the mine are complex. If one is not careful, it may cause the veins to collapse. Even if not directly killed, they will be trapped alive. This is the greatest danger faced by miners."
"The second one is more mysterious. Because the underground spirit veins accumulate a huge amount of spirit energy for a long time. When there is a lot of spirit energy, various strange and paranormal things happen. This kind of situation is rare, but once it happens, Qi Refining cultivators have no way to survive. Xie and I have been mining for more than ten years, we have encountered several collapses, but we have never encountered any paranormal events."
One is a danger zone, the other is a death zone.
Indeed, earning ten spirit stones is not that easy.
