Chapter 431: Chapter 161 Unparalleled Giant Whale Skill! Qi Blood Twelve Transformation Complete! (10,000-word Mega Chapter)_3

Sun Chi and An You, the two Innate Elders, both thought to themselves in secret.

Such a prodigiously talented martial artist, befriending him might bring huge benefits to Spirit Taoist Sect in the future!

The intense and hostile atmosphere dissipated completely with Su Changkong agreeing to join the Spirit Taoist Sect, and both sides became courteous and peaceful.

Qian Rui breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had suffered a bit at Su Changkong’s hands, Su Changkong had also saved him. Without Su Changkong, he would have died at the hands of Zheng Feisha and Wang Xinjian.

“This Wang Xinjian actually wanted to kill Qian Rui? And to steal Elder Qishi’s corpse, he is truly no better than a pig or dog!”

Sun Chi saw the seriously injured and unconscious Wang Xinjian and couldn’t help but curse loudly.

The sect had put great effort into cultivating Wang Xinjian, yet he was still dissatisfied and committed such acts of betrayal. Helian Yuan and others, being shrewd, could also guess that Wang Xinjian wanted to remove Qian Rui for his own benefit.

“Zheng Feisha deserved to die. He probably wanted to sell the Elder Brother’s corpse to the Evil Sect to extract the Innate Qi. Fortunately, Elder Su intervened, or else we would have all let our Elder Brother down,” Helian Yuan glanced at the corpse on the ground.

“The corpse of an Innate Martial Artist can also be refined to extract Innate Qi?” Su Changkong couldn’t help but be slightly surprised. This Demon Sect indeed had its methods!

Being able to extract Innate Qi from the Purple River Wheel and also from the corpses of Innate Martial Artists, it was clear that the power of the Demon Sect was by no means weak, with a profound foundation!

“Hmm… The corpse of an Innate Martial Artist is quite valuable, and since Zheng Feisha was slain by Elder Su, the spoils naturally belong to Elder Su. You can keep his corpse.”

Helian Yuan said to Su Changkong.

The corpses of Innate Martial Artists were of immense value, and by collecting several, there were ways to sell them in exchange for Innate Qi!

Su Changkong nodded and, without being polite, walked over to the corpse of Zheng Feisha and skillfully began searching it. Not long after, Su Changkong made some gains.

“What is this?” Among the items on Zheng Feisha’s body, Su Changkong found some Pill Medicines, silver notes, and, most intriguing to him, a small brocade pouch with three thumb-tip-sized milky white Crystal Stones in it.

At first glance, they seemed like gems, but Su Changkong, who was extremely sensitive to Spiritual Energy, could tell that there was a dense Spiritual Energy flowing inside these Crystal Stones.

“These are Spirit Stones, rare treasures formed from the condensation of nature’s spiritual energy within rocks, containing very rich Spiritual Energy. Innate Martial Artists with a Heavenly Pulse can refine them to greatly accelerate their cultivation speed. They are essentially a currency used for transactions among Innate Martial Artists,”

Seeing the look of confusion on Su Changkong’s face, Helian Yuan took the initiative to explain.

“This Su Helai… doesn’t even recognize Spirit Stones. Could he be a martial artist from some small place?”

The three Innate Martial Artists thought to themselves in secret, almost certain that Su Changkong must be a martial artist from another state, and of very ordinary origins, otherwise he would not be ignorant about Spirit Stones.

“So that’s it!” Su Changkong suddenly understood. He had never seen Spirit Stones before, so naturally, he didn’t recognize them.

In fact, in Dafeng State, the only Innate Martial Artist Su Changkong had encountered was Chikhatu.

Spirit Stones, treasures formed by the condensation of nature’s spiritual energy within rocks, had almost no use for martial artists below the Innate level, but were a form of currency among Innate Martial Artists.

If one had enough Spirit Stones, even buying Innate Qi from a major sect was not impossible!

Of course, Innate Qi was rare, and no power or sect would consider it excessive. To purchase it using Spirit Stones, the cost would not be small.

Zheng Feisha, who cultivated on his own and took on various tasks in his daily life, had only three spare Spirit Stones on him. Su Changkong collected them, thinking having some was better than none.

“Elder Su, as it’s getting late today, let Qian Rui arrange accommodation for you first. In the next two days, we will announce to the sect disciples that you, Elder Su, have become a Guest Elder of our Spirit Taoist Sect. Feel free to make yourself at home in Spirit Taoist Sect,”

Helian Yuan then said to Su Changkong, asking Qian Rui to arrange a place for Su Changkong to stay.

“Elder Su, please follow me.” Qian Rui immediately led Su Changkong to rest.

A very luxurious manor within Spirit Taoist Sect, complete with a cultivation room, flowers, and grass—this was a place where only elders of a certain level within Spirit Taoist Sect were qualified to reside.

“Things really are full of surprises!”

Su Changkong couldn’t help but exclaim.

Originally, Su Changkong had planned to quietly learn the Heaven Silkworm Technique, heal his injuries, and then leave quietly, but on his way, Zheng Feisha snuck into Heaven Silkworm Cave to steal Old Man Qishi’s corpse, bumping right into Su Changkong.

In the end, Spirit Taoist Sect didn’t decide to fight to the death with Su Changkong; instead, they invited him to join the sect.

After all, it was Su Changkong’s displayed strength and value that were so astonishingly remarkable that they were worth drawing in!

Of course, the main reason was that Su Changkong hadn’t killed anyone from Spirit Taoist Sect. If he had killed Qian Rui to silence him, there would have been no room for reconciliation!

However, regardless, now that he had become a Guest Elder of Spirit Taoist Sect, the benefits outweighed the drawbacks, allowing him to use Spirit Taoist Sect’s connections and network to strengthen himself.

Su Changkong rested for the night, and the next morning, Helian Yuan personally came to see him.

“Elder Su, here is the complete Heaven Silkworm Technique, a cultivation technique passed down by the founder of our sect. I hope that you will not teach it to a second person.”

As previously agreed, Helian Yuan handed over the method for cultivating the Heaven Silkworm Technique to Su Changkong, cautioning him not to share it without permission.
