A yellow gourd, a yellowed Taoist book, and a small cloth bag.
These were the items Su Rui had retrieved from the blue-robed Taoist's corpse. He examined the three items on the spot. Inside the yellow gourd was a gourd of icy black water. Su Rui dipped a blade of grass into it and dipped a little. The icy water not only froze the blade of grass into needles but also spread upward along its length. Fortunately, he had thrown the gourd quickly, otherwise the black water would have surely penetrated his body along the blade of grass. Unable to place his finger on the gourd, he replaced the lid.
Then he opened the yellowed Taoist book. The three traditional Chinese characters "The Secret of Controlling Spirits" were written at the beginning of the volume. Su Rui quickly browsed through it. This "The Secret of Controlling Spirits" was another book of unorthodox methods. Unlike the corpse refining method and the "Secret of Controlling Ghosts" of Heshan Taoism, this "Secret of Controlling Spirits" included both mental methods and the art of controlling spirits. The mental method formula was complete, but only the chapter on controlling a tiger could be barely read in full. The other chapters had blurred handwriting and could not be read in full.
Su Rui finally understood. No wonder the old Taoist had so many tricks for dealing with tigers. It turned out that it was not because he had any special feelings for tigers, but because he had no choice.
Su Rui also found the root of the thing in the yellow gourd in the "Spirit Control Art". It turned out to be the Black Tiger Evil, an evil spirit specially used for practicing and refining magic weapons. The black tiger evil that has been condensed into liquid in this gourd is of high value, even rarer than the old Taoist's Tiger Soul Banner.
Finally, Su Rui couldn't open the small cloth bag no matter how hard he tried. Finally, he poured a little Gengjin Qi into it and found that there was a restriction inside. It just so happened that his Gengjin Qi was also very effective in breaking restrictions. However, after the previous battle, the Gengjin Qi in his Dantian was very little. He had no choice but to put the small cloth bag away and deal with it after he recovered more Qi.
Zhao Qiong and Wu Qianqian, who had left the yard, heard that the fighting had stopped, and then they secretly glanced at the yard. They saw that Su Rui and Zhao Zhuan were still alive, and the old Taoist in blue robe had been beheaded, so they ran back to the yard.
Zhao Zhuan was treating Chen Feng's injuries and couldn't leave, so Su Rui called Zhao Qiong and Wu Qianqian to go into the house and search.
In order to prevent the blue-robed Taoist from having other accomplices or any dangerous incidents from happening, Su Rui and the other two did not separate this time.
After the three of them walked along the corridor into the lobby, they saw that the lobby was covered with various bloodstains, which was shocking.
When Su Rui saw this scene, she immediately felt nauseous and her whole body was unwell!
After they passed through the lobby and arrived at the inner courtyard, Su Rui almost vomited yesterday's meal. The inner courtyard had become a sea of blood and corpses, with corpses everywhere, including men, women, young and old, especially children. The corpses at the bottom had even begun to rot and stink, and yellow water was oozing out.
Countless mosquitoes, flies and maggots crawled in it, enjoying what they thought was a delicacy.
The corpses were in all sorts of different postures, but they had one thing in common: their hearts and livers were gone, leaving only a large empty hole in the abdominal cavity.
Although it is not a truly chaotic time yet, Su Rui has already experienced what it means to live like an ant and have his life worthless.
After Su Rui vomited all the bile, he no longer dared to look at this horrifying scene, and hurriedly retreated to the lobby with Zhao Qiong and Wu Qianqian, who were even more miserable than him.
After taking a breath in the lobby, Su Rui took Zhao Qiong and Wu Qianqian across the inner courtyard and walked around the yard. They did not find any other dangers, but found a place that looked like a tiger's den. Inside, they saw many human bones that had been gnawed until only blood was left.
Su Rui cursed the Taoist priest in blue robe as a beast and swore that if he ran into him next time, he would beat him to death again and destroy his body and soul!
When they returned to the front yard, they saw that Zhao Zhuan had already bandaged Chen Feng's wound, and the group evacuated the cemetery-like house.
After returning to Shi Yi's yard and settling Chen Feng and Shi Yi, Su Rui felt that a few strands of Gengjin Qi had recovered in his dantian. He took out the small cloth bag he found from the blue-robed Taoist priest and used the Gengjin Qi to break the restriction.
This time, the small cloth bag could really be opened.
Su Rui opened the cloth bag and took a peek inside, and immediately discovered that there was an enclosed space of twenty or thirty cubic meters inside the small cloth bag.
In that space, he saw piles of gold, silver, and jewelry, a square bronze tripod, some unknown ores, refining materials, and the corpse of a big tiger.
Although Su Rui broke the restriction of the small cloth bag, he had not learned how to refine weapons, so he could not directly take out the things inside with his mind. He had to reach into the cloth bag and take out the things one by one.
Wu Qianqian saw him performing magic. He took out an object that was many times larger than the bag from the small cloth bag. She walked around the bag, wanting to see clearly why it was so magical.
Su Rui had heard of the Buddhist technique of "one flower, one world" to describe the Sumeru-containing-a-mustard-grassroots technique. Obviously, although this small cloth bag has not yet reached the level of holding a Mount Sumeru, it is also a rare space magic weapon.
He emptied the small cloth bag and piled it up. He then took out the "Spirit Control Technique" and the gourd containing the Black Tiger Evil, placed them on the table beside him, and said to Wu Qianqian and the others:
"This is the harvest from this operation. The gold, silver, and treasures will be divided equally among everyone! Since I'm the main force in this battle, this bronze tripod and these iron ores happen to be needed for my cultivation, so they are not included in the prize."
"There's also a copy of the Left Path Daoist Art. I took a quick look and found the mental formulas to be complete, but the only corresponding spiritual control technique left is the chapter on tiger control. So, as you can see, this is why the demonic creature's monsters are primarily tigers. This formula will serve as the core formula for our Three Heroes Gang for now. We'll slowly add more righteous immortal techniques when we have the chance. However, I suggest that everyone practice this 'Spirit Controlling Art' first, cultivate true qi as soon as possible, and use some harmless small animals to explore the spirit control technique. It might come in handy someday!"
"Here's another gourd of Black Tiger Evil Spirit, a treasure shared by the Three Heroes Gang. Since you haven't yet cultivated your true Qi and are unable to resist the erosion of the evil spirit, I'll keep it for now. Come back to me if you need it in the future!"
"There's also a tiger carcass. Take the skin and treat it as an asset for the Sanying Gang! Divide the tiger meat among you all. Eat it yourself or give it away; don't leave it to rot! Save the tiger bones for making wine. I'll need to ask Elder Zhao to take care of that!"
"That's all. Do you have any other opinions?"
Su Rui clapped his hands and looked at everyone.
As an old hand in the world, Zhao Zhuan knew very well how rare the Taoist magic was. When he saw Su Rui actually took out the Taoist magic formula and the Black Tiger Evil as the shared assets of the Three Heroes Gang, he couldn't help but be moved to tears.
He had initially joined the Three Heroes Gang out of childish playful desire, hoping to cling to the support of Alliance Leader Wei through Su Rui. After a few days of action, he had finally begun to identify with the Three Heroes Gang, a young man like Su Rui. But now, a strong sense of identification enveloped him, and even his old, utilitarian heart felt the urge to die for his friend. Naturally, he expressed no objection.
Zhao Qiong, Wu Qianqian and others did not have as many psychological changes as old man Zhao Zhuan, but they also felt that they had gained a lot, so they naturally expressed no objection.
Shi Yi and Chen Feng were still in a coma, so they naturally had no idea that Su Rui had given them a big gift.
They didn't notice or care that Suri didn't say who owned the small bag.
