Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 365 - 292: Sudden Wealth, Clues About My Brothers! (Double Length)

The captured Corpse Refining Sect member was thoroughly searched, and items were taken out one by one.

Aside from a few expensive talisman papers, there were also several small bottles of medicine pills placed together with the money bag.

In the money bag, Spirit Coins were predominant, with a handful of low-grade Spirit Crystals, about a dozen or so.

There was also a set of soft armor being worn, with decent protective ability, capable of withstanding a slash from Song Changming’s saber without breaking.

There weren’t many things, so the total value could only be described as decent.

Song Changming himself had no intention of getting rich by looting corpses and held no expectations for the items on these enemies.

After all, who would carry a bunch of treasures when going out, only to make themselves a target of envy?

Most traveled light and very low-key.

Song Changming’s gaze quickly fell upon the pile of Spirit Crystals within the web, which was the real treasure that could make him rich.

Upon closer inspection, among the middle-grade Spirit Crystals, there were a few top-grade Spirit Crystals present.

This made his eyes light up.

With top-grade Spirit Crystals, the value was entirely different!

One top-grade Spirit Crystal could equal a hundred middle-grade Spirit Crystals; this discovery was akin to suddenly having billions in front of him.

"A windfall!" Song Changming smacked his lips, looking at the thick layer of webbing, just like a safe, firmly sealing this pile of invaluable Spirit Crystals.

Even the Green eyed Corpse Puppet had failed to break through this webbing just now, showing how tough the webbing was.

Song Changming raised his saber and slashed down, the taut webbing endured the Giant Strength of the long saber’s cut without showing any signs of breaking.

"This webbing..." An attempt with one slash unsuccessful, he couldn’t help but be a bit surprised, glancing at his Qiushui Long Saber, with its blade still gleaming coldly without the slightest dullness.

Then he released his Innate Qi Aura, coating the webbing with the Purple Gold Flame, instantly engulfing the entire web, burning fiercely.

Song Changming squinted his eyes for a detailed observation; the webbing started to blacken on the surface after being scorched by his Purple Gold Flame for a moment. If it continued, it indeed had hope of burning through.

However, the process might take some time and would require him to spend a considerable amount of Innate Qi Aura.

This process might take one incense stick, two incense sticks, or even an Hour.

Song Changming couldn’t wait that long, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and meditated.

In his mind, the learned Sword Technique, the many Sword Intents achieved after Sword Skill Perfection appeared and swept by again and again.

These Martial Arts accomplishments accumulated into his lifelong Sword Tao attainments.

From simplicity to complexity, then back to simplicity.

A thousand transformations went through his heart, ultimately returning to one slash.

Song Changming opened his eyes, then, with intent, slashed out.

The long saber fell, the surface blackened by scorching, yet the webbing that had long refused to break, this time snapped like an ordinary string upon impact.

As the webbing snapped, the previously impenetrable web gained a breach.

A pile of Spirit Crystals lay in front of him.

"Struck it rich!"

Song Changming immediately tore off the set of soft armor from Hu Yan, wrapped all these Spirit Crystals into the soft armor, and bundled them up.

During this, he briefly counted; there were over five hundred middle-grade Spirit Crystals.

The most valuable top-grade Spirit Crystals numbered at ten.

One can only say, to make money quickly, it’s better to stir things up, participate in big events, and capture significant gains from them.

Over the past year or so, without experiencing any major events, the few low-grade Spirit Crystals Song Changming received monthly added up, still not amounting to even a tenth or twelfth of this haul.

Of course, for Song Changming to have the opportunity to participate in this major event, the prerequisite was to join the Cuiqi Army to get the chance to guard the Spirit Crystal Vein.

Glancing at the cliff, now filled with cracks, Song Changming faintly heard the sound of wind penetrating through these fissures.

Unexpectedly, beyond this wall of rock, it was already outside.

Song Changming lifted the unconscious Hu Yan, walked to the cliff, and sliced open the tough webbing with a single slash, then kicked out with one foot.

On the cliffside, a waterfall hung, cascading down, with a large river extending from the valley below, stretching outward.

This place was the source of the river.

By the cliff, there was a rumbling sound suddenly, breaking open a big hole.

Song Changming stepped out, taking in the view of the verdant mountains and clear waters.

Leaping up, he looked back, unknowingly already several dozen miles away from the main battlefield.

Thinking for a moment, Song Changming first sought out a more concealed place to hide the soft armor filled with Spirit Crystals.

Just in case, he also pasted a Spirit Locking Talisman on the soft armor, capable of sealing the Spiritual Qi of the Spirit Crystals from leaking, avoiding detection by people or beasts.

In principle, these Spirit Crystals were war gains, and they should be handed over for public merit.

But Song Changming couldn’t treat Spirit Crystals as dung, and between merit and Spirit Crystals, he decisively chose the latter.

Afterward, he took the Corpse Refining Sect member to another place.

"Don’t kill me!" Hu Yan, now as weak as a lamb awaiting slaughter, knew his life was already in Song Changming’s grasp and began to plead for mercy upon waking with no trace of defiance.

Song Changming didn’t want to waste too much time, directly pulling out two portraits.

On the portraits were two young men grinning broadly, their expressions simple, with some youthful spirit and vigor.

In appearance and demeanor, they bore a strong resemblance to Song Changming.

These were his own brothers, drawn from memory.

Since the person in front was a disciple of the Corpse Refining Sect, he naturally wanted him to identify.

Maybe the other had seen Song Changming’s two brothers and still had an impression.

"Have you seen anyone refining these two corpse puppets?" Song Changming asked straightforwardly.

Hu Yan looked troubled. He frantically scoured his memories but was still at a loss.
