Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1523

Chapter 1523: Chapter 784: Magnificence (Part 2)

"Thank you for saving us. I just didn’t expect... your strength is far beyond what I imagined."

Gu Sheng neither agreed nor disagreed, he just reminded her.

"Don’t forget our agreement."

"Of course."

Shen Qingtan nodded, speaking with solemn seriousness.

"I, Shen Qingtan, swear upon my Martial Arts heart: everything I have seen and heard today will never be leaked, not even half a word."

Qin Yurou hurried to add her stance.

"Me too! I won’t say a single word about what happened today!"

Gu Sheng glanced at them, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly.

"I trust you."

He paused, then added.

"I hope you won’t betray that trust."

Shen Qingtan heard the warning hidden in his words, but what she cared about was another matter.

She walked over to Jiang Feiyu’s dried corpse not far away, and carefully stored the body into her Storage Ring.

"Once the mission bounty is issued, I’ll have Yurou bring the reward to you."

Shen Qingtan said to Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow.

"Will Jiang Feiyu’s death bring trouble to you?"

A shadow flickered in Shen Qingtan’s eyes.

"There’ll definitely be trouble, but I can handle it."

"If you can’t handle it, you can come to Linyin Pavilion to find me."

Gu Sheng said it offhandedly, yet it made Shen Qingtan and Qin Yurou show surprised expressions at the same time.

"Linyin Pavilion?"

Qin Yurou exclaimed.

"Isn’t that..."

Shen Qingtan stopped her with a look, then turned to Gu Sheng and spoke seriously.

"Thank you. Once I’ve finished dealing with this matter, we can talk about cooperating again."

Gu Sheng nodded.

"I’ll wait for your news."

Just as Shen Qingtan and Qin Yurou’s figures vanished into the distant mountain range, Gu Sheng withdrew his gaze.

He lowered his head to look at the corpse on the ground that had been twisted into pieces by the Heavenly Demon Vine, a cold smile tugging at his lips.

"Blood Refining Evil Cultivator? That’s all?"

Gu Sheng murmured softly to himself, lifting a foot to nudge the corpse that no longer resembled a human.

Blood seeped into the soil, giving off a nauseating, fishy stench.

Gu Sheng frowned, raised his hand and beckoned. A dark-red Storage Ring flew out from within the mangled flesh, hovering above his palm.

"Let me see what kind of goodies you Evil Cultivators carry."

His spiritual power surged into the Storage Ring like a tide, and Gu Sheng immediately sensed a cold, evil aura.

His brows lifted slightly. With a thought, a strangely-shaped scythe appeared in his hand.

The scythe was pitch-black all over, its blade covered in dense blood-red patterns, the handle wrapped in thorny vines that squirmed like living things.

Those thorns seemed to sense Gu Sheng’s aura—they slowly stretched out, trying to coil around his wrist.

"Hmph!"

Gu Sheng gave a cold snort. His True Yuan shook within his body, and the thorns instantly shrank back, letting out faint hissing sounds, as if mourning.

"Sect Realm Evil Artifact? That’s rare."

Gu Sheng carefully sized up the scythe.

"But it suits Evil Spirits and that path’s Evil Cultivators more. Looks like this Blood Refining Evil Cultivator had someone behind him."

He shook his head, completely uninterested in this kind of Evil Artifact that erodes the mind.

With a thought, the scythe was returned into the Storage Ring.

Continuing his search of the Storage Ring, Gu Sheng found two bottles of Elixir Pills and a blood-red Jade Talisman.

He first took out the pills, pulled the cork and sniffed, immediately recognizing what they were.

"Blood Burst Pill?"

Disgust flashed through Gu Sheng’s eyes.

"Force a Martial Artist to take it, make him explode and die, then absorb his Essence Blood—typical Evil Cultivator methods."

Causally tossing the pills back into the Storage Ring, Gu Sheng took out the Blood Jade Talisman.

As soon as the talisman touched his hand, he felt a cold force trying to burrow into his meridians.

"Courting death!"

Gu Sheng’s True Yuan circulated, easily isolating that force.

He sent his spiritual power into the talisman, immediately reading the contents recorded within.

"Thousand Threads Bone Marrow Stealing Technique?"
