Chapter 292: Getting Rich Overnight, Clues About My Brother! (Two in One)
The captured corpse-refining sect member was searched and his belongings were taken out one by one.
In addition to a few expensive talisman papers, there were also a few small bottles of pills placed together with the purse.
In the purse, there were mainly spirit coins, with a small amount of low-grade spirit crystals, about ten or so.
In addition, there was a set of soft armor, which had good protection and could withstand Song Changming's sword without breaking.
There were not many things, and the total value could only be said to be okay.
Song Changming himself had no idea of getting rich by stealing corpses, and did not have any expectations for the things on these enemies.
After all, who would bring a bunch of treasures out for no reason and make others jealous?
Most of them travel light and are very low-key.
Song Changming's eyes quickly fell on the pile of spirit crystals in the spider web, which was the treasure that could really make him rich.
Looking closer, there were clearly a few high-grade spirit crystals in a pile of medium-grade spirit crystals.
This made his eyes light up.
With high-grade spirit crystals, the value would be completely different!
One top-grade spirit crystal is worth a hundred mid-grade spirit crystals. This discovery is no less than hundreds of millions of dollars suddenly placed in front of him.
"A windfall!" Song Changming smacked his lips and looked at the thick layer of spider web, which was like a safe, firmly sealing the priceless spirit crystals.
Even the green-eyed corpse puppet failed to break through the spider web just now, which shows how tough the spider web is.
Song Changming raised his knife and chopped it down suddenly. The tight spider silk withstood the huge force of the long knife and did not show any signs of breaking.
He was a little surprised when he tried "this spider silk" with a knife but failed. He looked at his Qiushui long knife. The blade was still cold and sharp, without any dullness.
Then he released his innate energy, and the purple gold flame attached to the spider silk, instantly filling the entire spider web and burning.
Song Changming squinted his eyes and observed carefully. After being burned by his purple gold flame for a while, the surface of these spider silks began to burn black. If it continued, it was indeed possible to burn it off.
However, it might take a long time and consume a lot of his innate energy.
This process might take one incense stick, two incense sticks, or even an hour.
Song Changming couldn't wait that long, so he took a deep breath and closed his eyes to meditate.
In his mind, the sword techniques he learned and the many sword intentions after the sword skills were perfected emerged and passed over again and again.
These martial arts achievements have become his lifelong sword attainments.
From simple to complex, and then to simple again.
All kinds of changes passed through his mind, and finally returned to one sword.
Song Changming opened his eyes, and then, deliberately, chopped it out.
The long sword fell, and the surface of the burned spider silk was charred, but it was still unbroken. This time it broke like an ordinary rope.
The spider silk broke, and the originally airtight spider web also had a hole.
Piles of spirit crystals were placed in front of him.
Make a fortune!
Song Changming immediately took off the soft armor on Hu Yan, put all the spirit crystals into the soft armor, and wrapped them up and put them away.
During this time, he made a brief count and found that there were more than 500 medium-grade spirit crystals.
And there were as many as ten of the most valuable high-grade spirit crystals.
It can only be said that if you want to make money quickly, you still have to make trouble, participate in big events, and make big profits from them.
In the past year or so, Song Changming, who had not experienced any big events, received a few low-grade spirit crystals every month, which added up to less than one-tenth or two-tenths of what he got this time.
Of course, Song Changming had the opportunity to participate in this big event this time, and the prerequisite was to join the Cuiqi Army, and then he could get the opportunity to garrison the spirit crystal vein.
Looking at the cracked rock wall in front of him, Song Changming could vaguely hear the sound of wind coming through these cracks.
Not surprisingly, the rock wall was already outside the earth.
Song Changming picked up Hu Yan, who had already fainted, walked to the rock wall, cut the tough spider silk with a knife, and then kicked out.
A waterfall was hanging on a cliff, and a big river extended all the way out along the depression below.
This is the source of the river.
There were two loud bangs on a rock wall by the river, and a big hole was broken.
Song Changming walked out and took a look at the beautiful mountains and rivers here.
He soared into the sky and looked back. Unknowingly, he was already dozens of miles away from the main battlefield.
After thinking about it, Song Changming first found a more hidden place to hide the soft armor wrapped in the spirit crystal.
Just in case, he also posted a soul-locking talisman on the soft armor, which could block the spiritual energy of the spirit crystal from escaping and not be detected by people or animals.
In theory, these spirit crystals were obtained from the battlefield and should be handed over and confiscated in exchange for merit.
But Song Changming couldn't treat the spirit crystals like dirt. Between merit and spirit crystals, he decisively chose spirit crystals.
After that, he took the person from the Corpse Refining Sect to another place.
"Don't kill me!" Hu Yan was now as weak as a lamb to be slaughtered. He knew that his life had been controlled by Song Changming. After waking up, he lowered his head and begged for mercy without any courage.
Song Changming didn't want to waste too much time, so he took out two portraits.
In the portraits, there were two young men grinning. The young men had simple smiles and some heroic spirit.
They looked very similar to Song Changming.
They were his two brothers drawn based on his memory.
Since the person in front of him was a disciple of the Corpse Refining Sect, he would let him identify them.
Maybe the other party had really seen Song Changming's two brothers and still had an impression of them.
"Have you seen anyone who refined these two corpse puppets?" Song Changming asked straight to the point.
Hu Yan looked embarrassed. He frantically searched his past memories, but still had no clue.
He didn't dare to shake his head and say he hadn't seen it, for fear that Song Changming would chop him in anger.
While he was hesitating, he saw that Song Changming was almost impatient. In order to protect himself, he had a quick mind and hurriedly said.
"I, I can go back to the sect to investigate for you. If I find that person, I can also help you lead him out."
Song Changming paused slightly when he heard this.
If there was an insider to investigate the whereabouts of his two brothers for him, it would indeed be much more convenient than him.
"But how can I trust you?" Song Changming said lightly.
Hu Yan hesitated, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "There is a bottle of secret medicine, Xiaogu Dan, which I got by chance in my spiritual crystal bag. The person who takes it will suffer from the pain of thousands of insects eating bones every night, and there is no medicine to cure this poison. You need to take Xiaogu Dan every month to prolong your life.
I am willing to take this medicine, and the remaining Xiaogu Dan and my life are all in your hands!"
"Oh!" Song Changming took out Hu Yan's purse and indeed found a small dark brown medicine bottle.
There were dozens of tiny pink pills in the bottle, which were colorless and tasteless, and there was no use for them.
"Okay." Song Changming extracted a pill with his innate qi and dropped it in front of Hu Yan.
Hu Yan looked at Song Changming, and seemed to be still a little hesitant, sweating on his forehead, but finally swallowed the pill in one gulp as if he accepted his fate.
"Sir, are you satisfied..." Hu Yan bowed his head and said respectfully, directly addressing Song Changming as sir.
Song Changming directly mobilized his mental power to explore his body.
The drug did work quickly, attaching to his tendons and bones and corroding them.
Song Changming said nothing, but took out another black pill and handed it over.
"Take it all together."
"This..." Hu Yan's face changed slightly.
Song Changming didn't waste any words, raised his knife and looked at him.
Hu Yan knew that if he didn't satisfy Song Changming today, he would have no choice but to die.
In the end, he still bit the bullet and ate the black pill.
"This thing is called Xutian Pill, which contains the poison of Xutian. The spirit of the swallower is eroded day by day, and eventually gradually disappears into nothingness.
I will detoxify you one day after you finish my work for me."
Song Changming saw him take it, and then he explained leisurely.
Hu Yan's face turned pale.
He did realize that his mental state, which was already not good in the Nether Sea, was corroded, and his spiritual body felt a tearing pain.
This made him believe what Song Changming said.
In fact, he was not worried about the bone-dissolving pill he had just swallowed.
Although the elixir does need to be swallowed for a long time to prolong life, he also has other ways to eradicate the poison of the elixir. It is a bit troublesome, but it is not incurable.
When he stabilizes Song Changming and returns to the sect, everything will be solved, and he does not have to really obey Song Changming.
His calculations are very good, but now he has eaten another poison given by Song Changming, and his plan has failed.
Unless he can find a way to remove this poison, he will not be able to get rid of Song Changming at all.
"My lord, your order." Hu Yan's tone became more respectful and humble.
"Take these two portraits. I want you to find them after returning to the Corpse Refining Sect, and then I will tell you what to do next." Song Changming said calmly.
Hu Yan agreed and put away the portraits.
Not long after, several yellow-eyed and white-eyed corpses were summoned here by him and left with him on their backs.
Song Changming watched him go away, thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
If everything goes well, maybe he will receive news from his two brothers soon.
As for the Xutian Pill, it is made from several precious medicines from the other side of the abyss, Yuxu Mountain in Dalai.
There is no medicine to cure the poison of Xutian!
The only way to remove the poison of Xutian from the body is to obtain a pure body and reach the innate realm, and the poison will dissipate by itself.
And with Hu Yan's cultivation level, it would take Song Changming 20 to 30 years to break through to the innate realm.
Before that, the poison of Xutian had already tortured this person from the Corpse Refining Sect to death, so how could he wait for the day of becoming an innate warrior.
After burying this chess piece, Song Changming returned to the main battlefield in a low profile.
In the big pit, there should be two nests of the spider demon ancestors, and maybe a large amount of spirit crystals are stored.
But now, it should not be his turn.
This battle with the spider demon ended quite quickly.
The three spider demon ancestors in the sky have been captured by the military masters one after another, and most of the remaining spider demons have died.
Each team has also started searching. There are probably a lot of soldiers in the underground spider cave, so he will not go to join the excitement.
"Changming, where did you go just now?"
After an incense stick, Fu Yuan came out of the underground spider cave and saw Song Changming and asked immediately.
"Of course I killed the spider demon." Song Changming opened his bag, which contained a bunch of black, green, and pink needles.
Each spider demon has such a poisonous needle at the tail, which looks tiny but is quite deadly.
Killing it and taking the needle is also convenient for claiming merit later.
"It's good that you are okay." Fu Yuan nodded.
Song Changming was not seen for a while, which made him a little worried.
Later, a lot of spoils were indeed taken out from the underground spider cave.
Among them, many spirit crystals were dug out.
This thing is also a hard currency for cultivation in the demon clan.
In addition to the two ancestors, the nests of other spider monsters also have more or less spirit crystals stored, but most of them are low-grade spirit crystals or broken spirit crystals.
High-quality spiritual crystals are basically gathered in the spider demon ancestor.
Of the three largest spider demon nests, two were emptied by the military, and the remaining one was basically believed by the military to have been picked up by the disciples of the Corpse Refining Sect.
The reason was that a damaged corpse puppet was found in that nest.
For this reason, several small flag owners were still quite annoyed and did not intend to let the disciples of the Corpse Refining Sect go, so they specially sent several troops to search for traces.
Although the official is now mining the entire spiritual crystal vein, high-quality spiritual crystals are still rare.
Most of the spiritual crystals produced by the vein every day are broken spiritual crystals crushed by the ground and rocks, which are basically used to make spiritual coins.
Among the remaining intact spiritual crystals, 99% are low-quality spiritual crystals.
There are not many medium-quality spiritual crystals, let alone the rare high-quality spiritual crystals.
Perhaps after several days of mining, one or two high-quality spiritual crystals can be seen.
Therefore, for high-quality spiritual crystals, just a few pieces were snatched away right under their noses, which was enough to make these generals feel regretful and unhappy.
Of course, Song Changming did not feel any regret, and his face was calm.
When dusk was approaching, the army called off the troops.
Hu Yan, who had already run away without stopping, was not caught in the end.
A great battle with the demons came to an end.
After that, the spider demon was destroyed, and no other demons dared to cause trouble near the spiritual crystal veins.
The 41st flag army where Song Changming was located received an order from King Cui to return to the main city to rest and recuperate because of the casualties of the soldiers in this battle.
Another flag army took over the task of mining the remaining veins.
After a year, Song Changming finally returned to the main city of Cuibai again.
In the third district, there is a small mansion.
There are two words engraved on the plaque on the house, Song's house.
There are two children in the yard.
The older boy was sweeping the yard with a broom, and his eyes would occasionally fall on the study room with the open window.
The younger boy was holding a brush, carefully combing the hair of two dogs that were several times larger than him.
The big dog looked comfortable, squinting his eyes and lying on the ground, letting the boy fiddle with him.
In the study room, Song Changming casually draped his hair, wore a loose robe, and wrote ink characters on paper with a brush.
He wrote with spirit, and the characters were vigorous and powerful, revealing a sense of sharpness and dominance.
If you look at it with your heart and check it with your spirit, you can observe the powerful sword intent attached to the characters.
At Song Changming's current sword realm, practicing calligraphy is also practicing sword!
The pen is the sword, and the characters are the intention.
This is also what Song Changming accidentally discovered in the past six months. Practicing calligraphy can hone his sword!
Suddenly, a small carrier pigeon landed beside the inkstone in the study room, looked at the copybook on the table, and then looked at Song Changming.
Song Changming put down his pen, grabbed a handful of rice and sprinkled it on the table, and took down the letter.
The pigeon ate the rice, and Song Changming opened the letter and glanced at it. He was shocked and the relaxed look on his face disappeared.
"Finally!"
"Finally found it! Brother!"
