On the narrow table in front of Tao Qian, apart from thousands of yuan in banknotes, a small pile of silver dollars, silver dimes, and copper plates, the rest was his real harvest.

All of them involve extraordinary and strange things, which are the result of his hard work touching corpses.

"The dung beetle, the earth element booklet, the flesh demon incarnation technique, the mountain ghost skin bag, the corpse blood pill... plus the previous leftover book of Hundred Birds, and the Immortal Fish Technique."

"I have gained so much in the past two days. I am probably considered a lucky person in the world of spiritual practice."

"At least compared to senior Wu Ming, a layman seeking immortality, he is definitely blessed with profound blessings."

"But in the final analysis, these are all brought about by my weird golden fingers."

"It's just a pity... none of these things can make me see the way forward clearly, and they can't let me know the great road."

Tao Qian said with a bit of regret in his tone, but not too much.

Obviously, he himself knew that if he bought two books from a pile of books and killed four thieves, he would be able to obtain the technique that leads directly to the great road, then such a technique would be too worthless.

While muttering, he thought about the uses of these things.

"The remnants of the Hundred Birds' Play are still unusable. I can exempt you from the price of practicing this method, but I cannot exempt you from the basic conditions for practice."

"The simplest pig-shaped, sheep-shaped, chicken-shaped, etc., do not require the blood of ordinary birds, but the blood of wild spiritual birds that are rare in the world. Where can I find this kind of blood now?"

"What's more, even if I cultivate it, I'm afraid its power will still be far from comparable to that of the dragon bloodline."

"Only the ape is visible and may have some potential."

With concentration, Tao Qian put down the remaining pages.

By the way, I also plan to put aside the two secret books of Tu Yuan Pamphlet and Flesh Demon Incarnation Technique.

Needless to say, the latter is also a more evil spell among the left-wing sects. Tao Qian can still avoid the cost, but he will never practice it.

As for the former, the cost can be avoided, but the prerequisite for practicing the method is to swallow one piece of earth element every day. The more you swallow, the higher the chance of success.

Tao Qian pinched the booklet, thought about it, and moved it back.

With a sad look on his face, he gritted his teeth and said:

"I have the blood of the Dragon Dragon. I can use my full strength to control the air for a short time with the power of wind, rain and thunder, but the consumption is really huge. I just pretended for a while, and the source of energy in my body is almost exhausted. It is really unsafe... If I add another one

Earth escape as a trump card for escape is the best."

"Besides, it's just eating bugs. What else is there?"

"The protein is very high. If you fry it and then eat it, it will be even crunchier. Maybe I will fall in love with the taste."

After saying that, Tao Qian picked up the spherical bezoar again, with a tangled look on his face.

Although the time was short, Tao Qian had already experimented.

"With this feces stone, all other costs can be avoided. Wearing it can detoxify. In the future, if you practice earth and earth-related magic, you can use it to offset some of the costs."

"The only problem is that the stench is incomprehensible. The excrement in the stone is not just a price, but also a prerequisite?"

"That's all, just let it stink. It's better than being poisoned to death someday."

"Besides, it's actually not bad. The excrement seems to only target the wearer, and others can't smell it. It avoids the risk of social death, which is a great benefit."

Holding his nose, Tao Qian recognized another treasure.

Then, there is the "mountain ghost skin" that is very similar to human skin.

This is actually what Tao Qian likes the most.

"The skin bag is like a hidden treasure armor, and it has many functions."

"But it's a pity that the good price of not being able to conceive offspring after wearing it is actually offset by my own specialness. The contraceptive effect is just gone."

"It's nature that plays tricks on people!"

As he spoke, Tao Qian threw the leather bag onto the back of his hand.

However, he saw that this hairless and colorless "foreign object" seemed to have a life of its own, squirming and expanding, covering Tao Qian's body in the blink of an eye.

Surprisingly, he didn't feel any discomfort and even felt lighter.

As for the last one, the "Corpse Blood Pill" which is as big as a red date, there is actually not much to say about it.

After understanding its origin and function, Tao Qian put it in his arms and let the skin wrap it and the bezoar together.

Then, Tao Qian sighed: "You Zhan is a good zombie. If I have a chance, I will find one. Not to mention blocking the door and asking for gifts or nagging."

After counting the harvest and usage, Tao Qian was not satisfied.

In my mind, I quickly replayed the several attacks tonight and summarized some experiences and mistakes.

Finally, Tao Qian's thoughts fell on the conversation he overheard between the four people before taking action.

The most critical sentence is what Zhang Xian said: "Rewards of money are still a trivial matter, but whether you can obtain the teaching of scriptures is a big deal."

This sentence completely expresses the infinite bitterness of those at the bottom of the spiritual world.

This is the case with the four beasts in She County who do many evil things.

The same is true for Wu Ming, a layman who died in confusion after searching for immortals for thirty years.

"The so-called scriptures and methods actually refer to practice books that are complete, have a clear path forward, and have a small cost, or that have corresponding methods to offset the cost."

"Such books are the true foundation in the world of spiritual practice."

"Whether it is Taoist sects, Buddhism, martial arts, Shintoism, left-wing side sects, etc., they all rely on a large number of such books to occupy the upper level of the ecological niche in the spiritual world."

"There's a more popular name for it, it's called... the natal sutra!"

"Since it is called one's life, it is naturally not a small, thin book. It is almost a profound and complex book that leads directly to the way of heaven."

"Most of them are named after scriptures, books, records, etc."

"Such as the Caobang's top secret [Blood River Book], or the legendary Taoist secret book [Laojun Xisheng Sutra], the Buddhist secret book [Great Wheel Sutra], the legendary left Taoist book [Infant Sutra]

…Things like these are what all monks dream of.”

"Both are natal sutras, but they are also divided into strong and weak levels."

"All the methods that can lead to becoming a true immortal are controlled by powerful forces."

"The Blood River Book has many methods, but the scriptures that have no hope of immortality are controlled by forces of the level of the 'Tianxia Cao Gang'."

"The "Fairy Fish Technique" I am practicing now has nothing to do with the natal sutra. To be more accurate, it is probably an admission ticket. Only by getting it can I enter the terrifying and weird fairyland fish pond and fight for it.

The opportunity to be fished by a terrifying being is truly terrible to the extreme.”

The thought flashed to this point, and the bitterness appeared in Tao Qian's eyes.

Although he has now entered the Qi-Entraining Realm, he does not have any "Benming Sutra" that can be used for practice.

There is a proverb in the spiritual world:

No big book in one day!

After all, they are nothing more than ants!

How accurate this proverb is, Tao Qian also learned a little about it from Wu Ming, a layman seeking immortals, and Lin Xiaohua, a Japanese ghost Taoist priest.

For example, it is recorded in the "Unknown Secret Book" that one day a large number of low-level monks gathered together to discuss fighting against a "true disciple" from a major sect.

I originally thought that relying on the strength of numbers, even if I couldn't defeat him, I should be able to compete with him.

However, the ending was as follows: the true cultivator waved his hand, and a dazzling rainbow light covered the sky and the sun. The low-level cultivators were wiped out in the blink of an eye, not even their whole corpses were left behind.

Tao Qian has the blood of the dragon and is still a serious monk in the Qi-entraining realm.

But this doesn't change the fact that he is at the bottom of the spiritual world.

If one day, I also meet a disciple from a big sect, wouldn't I end up like this if I am not careful?

Thinking of this, Tao Qian's face became even more bitter.

In his mind, he couldn't help but think about how he might have the chance to obtain the large book, the Natal Sutra, at this stage.

"Fairy Fish Jue, that fairyland is a fish pond with a terrifying existence. Even things like 'Jiu Longzhu' can be used as bait. It is not unusual for a large volume to be used as bait one day.

"

"Others must not dare to eat that bait, but I am different. The so-called prostitution is good for a while, and it is always good for free. Even the life scripture can be obtained for free. That is not so good."

These two thoughts flashed through Tao Qian's expression with a complicated expression.

After eating the pieces of the Dragon Ball, he originally planned to be cautious and not go to the fairyland fish pond.

But now it seems that we still have to take risks.

"Um?"

"Actually, there is a more conventional and orthodox method, which is to seek immortality and ask questions like Wu Ming did, but I have to be purposeful."

"So, there are twelve major sects of Taoism, 3,800 temples of Buddhism, many aristocratic families of martial arts and Shinto, thousands of left-wing and side sects, and the most mysterious sects of demons... Which of these major sects should I choose?"

"If you choose the right one, you have a chance to become a true immortal."

"If you make the wrong choice, you may lose your life."

"It would be great if the Sun Ghost Master Lin Xiaohua was here. After all, he is a senior thigh who can provide reference. Speaking of which, this thigh also promised to teach me a method that can enhance that kind of ability?"
