Talismans Manifest Myriad Laws, Proving My Immortality

Chapter 81: Dividing the Spoils

Seeing the formation rise, the middle-aged man showed a cold smile.

"Gu Chuanfei, today is your death day!"

Gu Chuanfei's face changed drastically as he looked at the array of restraints appearing around him, and he said, "I have no grudges with you, and you are scheming against me?"

"To make you understand clearly, I am from the Fang family of Yongning County. Do you have any impression?"

"The Fang family..."

Gu Chuanfei showed a wry smile and shook his head.

"It is said that the Fang family has three Core Formation cultivators, and their family head has reached the mid-Core Formation stage. I did not expect them to engage in such despicable acts."

The middle-aged man snorted coldly and said dismissively, "Hmph, to deal with you, there is no need for my older brothers to act. I alone am enough."

"Besides, your information is a bit outdated. My eldest brother entered the late-Core Formation stage last year. You country bumpkins would not know."

Seeing the increasing fear on Gu Chuanfei's face, he enjoyed the feeling even more.

Being able to toy with a Core Formation cultivator brought him great satisfaction.

However, upon hearing this, the fear on Gu Chuanfei's face suddenly vanished, and he calmed down.

"Late-Core Formation? Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for revealing such crucial information."

The middle-aged man was slightly stunned, and before he could react, he saw Gu Chuanfei summon a magical treasure to attack him.

"Excellent, Brother Mo, assist me!"

Saying this, he mobilized his spiritual power to prepare for battle but suddenly felt his true qi weighed down, as if suppressed.

Gu Chuanfei appeared before him in the blink of an eye, and his expression changed greatly. He exerted his spiritual power to resist, but it was more than thirty percent less than usual.

He felt bewildered and seemed to realize something, turning around abruptly.

Only to see Mo Xuan had somehow appeared behind him, with a playful smile on his face.

"Brother Fang, I am truly sorry."

He raised one hand and thrust it into the middle-aged man's back.

The middle-aged man was in pain but couldn't move a muscle.

Gu Chuanfei's attack followed, and with one strike, he shattered the man's dantian.

The middle-aged man spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, realizing he had fallen into a trap set by the two. But it was too late.

A once-feared Core Formation cultivator in Yongning County had fallen so easily in this nameless little mountain, leaving people sighing in regret.

After dealing with the middle-aged man's corpse, the county guard casually took his storage bag.

"Brother Gu, Lu An, how about we divide the treasures in this storage bag among the three of us?"

Gu Chuanfei smiled and nodded, but Lu An refused, "This trip relied entirely on the two seniors. I exerted no effort at all and have no right to share the spoils. The seniors may divide them."

"This is incorrect. The idea was yours, so you naturally have a share of the credit. Come, do not refuse."

Unable to insist, Lu An said, "Alright, how about this: I currently lack offensive magical treasures, so I will take one. The rest, the two seniors may divide."

Mo Xuan and the others did not refuse. With a slight effort of their divine senses, they broke the restraints on the storage bag.

When a storage bag falls into the hands of others, if the owner is still alive, the restraints will still work.

The person who obtains it must practice refining daily to open it.

But if the owner is dead, the restraints are like a floating leaf in a fleeting life; once the person dies, the light goes out.

Mo Xuan poured out everything from the storage bag onto the stone table.

Various items scattered across, covering the stone table.

Among them, there was a large pile of spirit stones, and more than ten crystal-clear ones emitting different glows.

"High-grade spirit stones, this is a good item."

"Indeed, a person from the Fang family. Look at that pile of Star Iron; it's excellent material for refining magical treasures."

"This is the Flame Crystal. I didn't expect there to be so many."

Gu Chuanfei's eyes widened when he saw one item.

He had thought that the middle-aged man only had a few Flame Crystals to lure him, but he didn't expect there to be so many in the storage bag.

"My Earth Treasure Fire Technique may be perfected!"

Mo Xuan's eyes also sparkled as he selected the items he needed.

Lu An, however, did not pay attention to these exquisite materials and pills but instead examined the magical treasures.

His Soul Devouring Sword had absorbed many remnants of souls from the Jade Coffin Secret Realm and was advancing towards the level of a magical treasure. With some more refining, it might reach the inferior-grade magical treasure level.

However, with his cultivation rising and about to enter the Foundation Establishment stage, a single magical treasure was still somewhat insufficient.

His gaze swept over the items and landed on a blue fan.

"Eighteen restraints, inferior-grade magical treasure, not bad."

He picked it up and examined it for a moment, frowning slightly.

"Wind attribute, which doesn't quite suit me. Moreover, this item is used to hinder enemies, unable to kill in one strike. It doesn't quite meet my requirements."

He picked up the next magical treasure and continued to examine until he finally focused on a blood-red banner.

As soon as he picked it up, a wave of killing intent rose in his mind.

This feeling was all too familiar; it was the same sensation he felt every time he absorbed a soul in the Jade Coffin Secret Realm.

He exerted a slight force with his divine sense to suppress this feeling while a trace of interest arose in his heart.

"Seventy-two restraints, a third-tier inferior-grade magical treasure."

With his current strength, he couldn't activate it and would have to wait until he advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage to use it.

Under his scrutiny, he soon learned the blood-red banner's functions.

Within this banner, there were hundreds of Refining Qi stage fierce souls. And that's not all; there were also three Foundation Establishment stage auxiliary souls, but it required the majority of the seventy-two restraints to be refined before they could be activated.

Most importantly, the position of the main soul was still vacant. If Lu An guessed correctly, this main soul needed a Core Formation stage fierce soul to command.

Once this soul is filled, this blood-red banner even has the potential to advance to a third-tier mid-grade magical treasure.

This discovery surprised Lu An greatly, but he soon showed a wry smile. Although it was immensely powerful, with his current cultivation, it would take an unknown number of years to fully refine all seventy-two restraints.

Moreover, with the main soul vacancy, it was beyond his current capability to fill it.

However, he quickly accepted this, knowing that commanding the three Foundation Establishment stage auxiliary souls would be of great help to him.

He examined the banner and saw that the handle was engraved with the words "Nine Turns Blood Soul Banner."

Lu An nodded and said to the two who were still selecting treasures, "Seniors, I will choose this banner."

The two did not scrutinize further, merely waving their hands and saying, "Young friend Lu, feel free. Are you sure you don't want to pick any other items? If that's the case, we won't be polite."

"The younger generation finds this magical treasure sufficient; there are no other desires."

Mo Xuan and Gu Chuanfei took a full half-hour to divide the middle-aged man's treasures. At this point, they were all fully loaded and in good spirits.

Lu An, however, was contemplating the middle-aged man's words, his expression growing increasingly serious.

"Seniors, the Fang family's head has reached the late-Core Formation stage. Are you confident in dealing with him?"

Mo Xuan and Gu Chuanfei exchanged glances, their excitement dissipated.

"There is a huge disparity between the late-Core Formation stage and our current strength. Even if we join forces, we might not be a match for him."

With this thought, both men showed worried expressions.

Lu An pondered for a moment and then nodded slightly, "In that case, we can only wait for my master to return and see if he has any solutions."

The two were surprised to hear this. Master? When did Lu An become an apprentice?
