Cultivation System: Stronger with Age

Lin Xuankong's calm voice, tinged with a chill, reached Guo Chui's ears, causing his expression to constantly change. "You can kill me, but why can't I kill you? Just because you're a descendant of the Guo Family! If I don't kill you, you'll go back to the Guo Family and immediately become a saint, sparing me and Yufei? How laughable! That Conical Hat Guest has killed countless Black Tiger Gang experts. Zhao Renxiong even requested Elder Hua from the Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect to help find him. If your Guo Family truly had a treasure that could track people and easily find the culprit, why didn't Zhao Renxiong ask your Guo Family for help? Why, even now, can Zhao Renxiong of the Black Tiger Gang still not identify who the Conical Hat Guest is! In this world, such a treasure might indeed exist, but your Guo Family definitely doesn't have it!"

Upon hearing this, Guo Chui's expression continually shifted. The Guo Family indeed had numerous treasures, but they were all for enhancing combat power; none could pinpoint the culprit. Unfortunately, I had just managed to bluff Zhao Yufei, but this sly old fox didn't fall for it!

At that moment, Guo Chui suddenly felt countless long tongues simultaneously binding him.

「In the cave,」

Zhao Yufei carefully counted today's loot. "Three, four, five... sixteen, seventeen, eighteen... twenty-four! Those thirty-odd Martial Cultivators brought twenty-four pieces of Exorcism Equipment. From Feng Zhulong, San Gu, and Guo Chui's Ghost Frog Pouches, there are four pieces. Counting the ones collected from the Zhen and Xun Branches, that makes a total of forty-one pieces of Exorcism Equipment!"

"Additionally, today we also got four Ghost Frog Pouches, four complete sets of Exorcism Armor, two hundred and ten Divine Protection Elixirs, seventy-two Nourishing Spirit Pills, and about forty thousand catties of Demon Flesh!"

Lin Xuankong was naturally pleased, but thinking about his invaluable Ruyi Battle Armor, his expression calmed. "So many elite Martial Cultivators came, so aggressive, and this is all we've got?"

"This is all?" Zhao Yufei's small mouth fell slightly agape. What in the world? With that disdainful tone of yours... Those are pieces of Exorcism Equipment! A full forty-one pieces of Exorcism Equipment, plus those complete sets of armor! Even the richest harvests from past Demon Slaying Conferences never yielded so much loot! Those who possess Exorcism Equipment and complete sets of Exorcism Armor mostly belong to major forces and form alliances; they wouldn't kill each other recklessly. Especially those with complete Exorcism Armor—how many of them are there in the entire Demon Slaying Conference!

Near the cave entrance, Han Feiyan and the other three onlookers could only stare, utterly bewildered.

The short Han Xiu's face was filled with frustration. Beside him, Han Feiyan secretly mused, Master Lin and Lady Zhao's harvest is so overwhelming it's maddening, but thinking it over, it makes sense! After all, these two reversed roles and killed off all the top experts from the Black Tiger Gang, the Feng Family, the Guo Family, the Gu Yue Sect, and anyone else they managed to gather. Usually, during the Demon Slaying Conference, major forces secretly ally to harvest and divide the participating Martial Cultivators. This time, however, these two nearly wiped out those major forces, so the harvest is naturally shocking! And that's not to mention the plethora of demons they slew...

Still, Han Feiyan found Master Lin's tone when speaking of the Exorcism Armor hard to stomach. It was as if those pieces of Exorcism Equipment and sets of armor were not priceless treasures, but handkerchiefs for wiping one's nose...

She looked at the small and pitiful piece of Exorcism Equipment in her hand, her thick eyebrows on her square face knitting together. Next to her, Han Xiu and the other three looked at their dull Profound Iron Weapons, their hearts aching. The difference between people is greater than that between people and dogs!

Lin Xuankong, meanwhile, began calculating silently. Complete sets of Exorcism Armor... I got the Black Scale Armor from Shangguan Si, the Green Flute Armor from Guo Lan, and the Silver Blade Armor from Feng Baoyi. Later, the Nine-Scaly Armor from Liy Ruofeng. Now, from San Gu, the Six-Armed Battle Armor; from Feng Zhulong, the Silver Patterned Armor; and Guo Chui had two sets of Golden Patterned Armor. From this trip into the Demon Valley, I've obtained a Ghost Frog Demon Pearl, Black Soul Wondrous Jade, over one hundred thousand catties of Demon Flesh, eleven Ghost Frog Pouches, plus eight complete sets of armor of immense value and dozens of pieces of Exorcism Equipment. Not counting my original armor and Demon Pearls, the harvest just from Demon-Suppressing Valley is equivalent to the resources of a top family in Great Marsh Prefecture! One person's resources, approaching those of a top-tier family... If anyone were to kill me now and take these things, they'd probably die of happiness on the spot! Oh yes, and after leaving the valley, there's still the compensation of twenty-two pieces of Exorcism Equipment from the Feng Family!

Lin Xuankong opened a Ghost Frog Pouch, took out twenty Nourishing Spirit Pills, and handed them to Zhao Yufei. "Don't take Divine Protection Elixirs anymore. After we leave the valley, I'll buy you better elixirs. For now, make do with these Nourishing Spirit Pills!"

"Also, here's an extra Ghost Frog Pouch for you. Use your old one for storage; this one can be a backup!"

"A backup too!" Zhao Yufei smiled as she accepted them.

Han Feiyan and the other three exclaimed inwardly in shock.

Han Xiu looked at Zhao Yufei with extreme envy, then couldn't help but sneak a peek at his sister Han Feiyan's square face. He thought to himself, I wonder what kind of women Master Lin likes? Though my sister's face is overly square and a bit plain, her build is sturdy. The key is, her robust physique can withstand rough treatment, definitely not like Lady Zhao, who always appears weak and frail each morning! Master Lin is quite old now; I don't know if he has any descendants. If my sister could be with Master Lin, surely she could bear him several healthy sons. But alas, this is just my wishful thinking!
