131: Trash? Get rich! Trash? Get rich!

The function of the Soul Capturing Pool is very simple... to detain Souls.

This item seems to have been specially prepared by the Evil Cultivator Alliance for the Five-Direction Great Formation of Lone Souls and Resentment.

The quality of this Great Formation ranks as Medium Grade eighth-grade, but it was modified by a Genius Formation Master... it can amplify the power of the Great Formation through wandering Souls and ghosts.

As long as there are living Souls, the Formation will not break.

It's just a pity that it encountered Shen Li, a freak, who used a Rainstorm Pear Blossom to directly burn out the Great Formation's CPU.

It was even beyond repair in the end, and many wandering Souls and ghosts escaped control.

One can only say... the Evil Cultivator Alliance was unlucky!

Shen Li held the Soul Capturing Pool and the Five-Direction Great Formation of Lone Souls and Resentment in his hands, but felt somewhat helpless.

All he encountered were Demonic Path Cultivators, and the items dropped by these NPCs were mostly unusable!

Helpless, he could only toss these two items together with the human skin scroll.

He would wait until he returned to Qingyang to sell them...

There was nothing he could do; as his Realm improved, the goods in Crescent Lake Market could no longer satisfy his appetite.

Through this battle, he also realized many of his shortcomings and needed to make comprehensive corrections!

And Qingyang is a large county; all sorts of items can be found there.

If he still couldn't find them, then he would go to Qingchi Mountain!

Continuing to look, after browsing the Soul Suppression Minor Art, Yinming Dao Soldier Art, and Spiritual Puppet Control Minor Art, Shen Li expressionlessly swept all these things into the trash heap!

It's not that these things are useless; these things are useful, and for a Cultivator, they are of great use.

But the premise is still that same sentence: Demonic Path Cultivation Technique... he couldn't cultivate it.

What future is there in cultivating the Demonic Path? The Yin Nether Sect was so powerful, yet wasn't it still shattered by a bumpkin from Qingchi Mountain?

It incurred the wrath of heaven and resentment of men, and in the end, everyone died.

He didn't want to live in a world where he was constantly hunted; he still wanted to live openly and honorably!

Moreover... the outlines of those various minor arts all wrote: kill, kill, kill.

How could he learn this?

He couldn't even learn it to the point of being useless.

The Soul Suppression Minor Art requires living people to practice the art; to reach the state of a Puppet Demon Immortal Master, where one can suppress Souls, control a Physical Body, and not harm the original Spirit, it would take at least ten years or even longer... and require killing people every day.

He couldn't learn it.

The Spiritual Puppet Control Art, on the other hand, complemented the Soul Suppression Minor Art. Good heavens, its main point was to first cultivate the Soul Suppression Minor Art, then control the body... and finally kill it.

And after killing it?

Huh? The value of this living person wouldn't disappear with death... his Physical Body would be used as a Puppet, treated like a beast of burden.

His Soul... would either be absorbed by the Soul Capturing Pool or become a reserve member of the Dao Soldier Art before him.

They would either become fuel for the Great Formation or a member of the Gu breeding pool; the former were destined to be firewood, consumables... as for the latter, the lucky ones would kill their way out to become Dao Soldiers, while the unlucky ones would directly have their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

Reincarnation?

Reincarnation was impossible.

When it came to making the most of resources, the Yin Nether Sect already had a Legacy... the process was meticulously seamless!

Therefore, to summarize.

Trash.

Trash.

And it's still damn trash!

Shen Li couldn't help but feel annoyed, but then he saw the four mu of Spiritual Fields surrounded by Spirit Stone Restrictions, and his mood improved slightly.

Who could refuse farming?

Chen He hadn't produced much during this time... hmm, it was time to add more burdens!

How could she slack off like this?

How annoying!

"Ah-choo!"

Chen He, who was in the backyard, sneezed, then stood up and wiped the sweat from her temples. At this moment, she was diligently, like an old ox, walking barefoot through the Spiritual Fields, holding a watering can and carefully tending to the 'fourth batch' of spiritual plants.

Her wish... was to successfully cultivate a batch this year, and she would be satisfied.

What? What if she was still so unlucky and her own city lord or other Cultivators destroyed them?

What to do? What could she do?

Just keep planting.

Speaking of which.

Shen Li looked at the peculiar medicinal material in the Spiritual Field, which was somewhat wilted, resembled a thick wood ear, and was incredibly blood-red.

Blood Tai Sui.

When Ruo Liuli had not yet entered Shen Li's command, the item she used to pay respects was Flesh Tai Sui.

Flesh Tai Sui... if viewed in terms of human relationships, it would be the son of the Blood Tai Sui before him.

Whether in terms of blood Qi content, quality, or medicinal effect, it was far inferior to Blood Tai Sui.

Blood Tai Sui was a secret treasure coveted by all martial artists; this item could unconditionally and without side effects enhance a martial artist's Qi and blood, and refine pure Qi and blood.

It was incredibly rare.

The Luan Xiu Alliance had so many martial artists, most of whom were probably due to the Blood Tai Sui.

And these three mu of Blood Tai Sui... were enough for him to cultivate another fifteen hundred Yuting Guards.

Shen Li thought about giving it to Chen He later and no longer paid it much attention.

His gaze turned to a strange statue, 'Creekside Vase'.

The Creekside Vase, a Magical Artifact, was rich in water, wood, and earth Qi. Its appearance was that of an old man, sitting on a considerably large Ore base. The old man was about three meters tall, and at first glance, it looked like an ordinary stone statue.

His smile was amiable, like a kind old man next door, utterly unremarkable.

But upon closer inspection, one felt a blur, as if covered by water vapor, and the aura of the Creekside Vase became ethereal.

And when fused with that peculiar Ore base, it added a touch of grandeur...

This item did not seem like a proud creation of the Luan Xiu Alliance; it was more like a masterpiece they had acquired from who-knows-where.

It's simple: how could a group of dung beetles roll out a cotton ball?

That doesn't make sense!

Shen Li's eyes flickered as he considered where to place this item.

Water, wood, earth—these elements did not conflict with Shen Li's Spiritual Root affinity... so he might as well place it in the backyard. He needed water and wood for his cultivation.

And the earth affinity... the Spiritual Fields also needed it.

It was just right!

Having arranged the use of the Creekside Vase, he continued to examine the items.

[Medium Grade Magical Artifact • azure sea tide generating screen]

The azure sea tide generating screen, when unfurled, was only thirteen meters long.

The edges of the screen were secured by an unknown tree plant, with carved openwork patterns.

The meaning conveyed by the patterns... was perhaps a strange tale from the distant East Sea?

Within it, one could even see the incredibly rare Merfolk... and even some strange creatures with horns like a deer, a head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, a neck like a snake, a belly like a clam, and scales like a fish.

What was that?

Was it... a true Dragon? Or a Flood Dragon?

That was unknown.

And then, the screen's fabric also seemed to be an extremely precious Material. The master who forged this azure sea tide generating screen must have been an elegant person... to think of framing a piece of the sea within a canvas.

As Spiritual Qi was injected, the rigid lines of waves materialized, surging towards Shen Li in layers.

A towering aura of water rushed towards him... as if he were standing on a reef, facing the monstrous waves alone.

Shen Li's face showed surprise. In an instant, he felt his Divine Soul stir.

He couldn't help but say, moved,

"This item... is for refining one's Heart-Nature and Divine Soul?"

"How rare is this?"
