25 Chapter 25: Phantasma Transformation Skill, A Treasure from the Robbing Cultivator_1
After listening to all these gossips, Zhou Sui entered his own meditation room. He took out three storage bags from his body, all of which were obtained from the Misty Triad.
After spending some time, he completely erased the imprints of the three storage bags. He then swept his spiritual sense over them and instantly sensed numerous items inside the bags.
"There are so many treasures?"
Zhou Sui's eyes widened in surprise.
First were the cultivation techniques that the Misty Triad obtained, such as the Green Scripture, Golden Mechanism, Wind Charm Scripture, Earth Transcript, Water Source Mechanism, and others. All these basic Qi cultivation techniques were suitable only for Qi cultivation nineth layer at best.
In normal circumstances, each of these cultivation techniques could fetch two to three hundred lower-grade spirit stones when sold.
Besides these cultivation techniques, there were also numerous skills, such as the Protective Art, Ice Frost Skill, Spring Wind Rain Skill, Fireball Technique, Wind Blade Art, Flying Sword Art, and others.
In total, these cultivation techniques and skills amounted to over a hundred.
Without a doubt, these were not items that the Misty Triad could have bought. They must have been obtained from the cultivators they have killed.
Because the cultivators they've murdered were too numerous, the number of cultivation techniques and skills they've obtained increased over time.
In a sense, they seemed to have accumulated the wealth of an ordinary cultivator's clan.
If these cultivation techniques and skills were sold, they would at least worth several thousand lower-grade spirit stones, or even tens of thousands, which is a considerable fortune.
With these basic cultivation techniques, one could start an ordinary cultivation clan. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"There are so many pills and spirit stones?"
Zhou Sui continued to investigate.
He found that there were eighteen bottles of Yellow Dragon Pills in the storage bags. Each bottle of Yellow Dragon Pills was worth five hundred lower-grade spirit stones. So, only the Yellow Dragon Pills were worth nine thousand lower-grade spirit stones.
In addition, there were Qi replenishing pills, detoxifying pills, true-yuan pills, and other kinds of pills, also worth several thousand lower-grade spirit stones.
However, there weren't many spirit stones, at most a few hundred lower-grade spirit stones.

Most likely, the spirit stones had been used to refine pills.
Even so, one can see just how rich the Misty Triad's assets were.
They were just cultivators of the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer. Normally, they wouldn't have so many spirit stones and pills. Their assets would at the most amount to a few thousand lower-grade spirit stones.
However, the combined wealth of these three cultivators was worth twenty to thirty thousand lower-grade spirit stones.
It was evident how many solitary cultivators the Misty Triad had accosted and how they had profited from their murderous acts.
Killing them countless more times would not be too harsh a punishment.
"No wonder so many people choose to become robbers, the money comes so fast."
Zhou Sui exclaimed in surprise.
But the risk of being a robber was also great. If one was not careful, they would encounter an insurmountable obstacle and be killed.
All the years of accumulation would be ruined in an instant.
This was the case with the Misty Triad. They rampaged for over ten years only to encounter me, him, Zhou Sui, and their lives were completely wiped out. This was the end of those who chose to be robbers.
They might win a few times, but they were bound to die sooner or later.
It was similar to gamblers who might win sometimes, but the end result was always losing.
"To become robbers, they are indeed well-prepared."
Zhou Sui twitched the corner of his mouth.
He also saw in the storage bags items used to destroy corpses and tracks, such as Corpse Dissolving Powder, which could stun other cultivators, Soul Breaking Smoke, and even Five Poison Water that poisoned the person upon contact.
In short, to kill their enemies, they used everything they could.
Luckily, he killed the Misty Triad from a distance.
If he had approached them, he might have been killed by their numerous tricks.
"Indeed, ranged attacks are reliable. Who would go hand-to-hand with you?"
Seeing these vicious methods, Zhou Sui was horrified. Every robber was sophisticated. Nobody knew how many hidden backup plans they had.
However, no matter how many backup plans they had, they were still no match for the power of the Dream Soul Gu. They were killed instantly before they could use their tricks.
From this perspective, it was a case of one object downing another.
"But the most valuable should be this secret manual."
At this moment, Zhou Sui noticed one of the secret manuals.
His gaze fell on a manual, the cover of which bore the title "Phantasma Transformation Skill". Undoubtedly, this was a top-tier auxiliary Demonic Path cultivation technique.
He carefully read through it and found that this technique could transform his appearance and physique into something completely different.
If practiced to a higher level, it could even hide his cultivation level, change his breath, and completely transform him into another person.
How did the Misty Triad manage to run rampant for over ten years without being killed by other cultivators?
The most important reason was this Demonic Path cultivation technique, aside from their careful behavior.
In the past, the Misty Triad was just low-profile solitary cultivators. Then, by chance, they happened upon the remains of a Demonic Path cultivator's cave, which had existed for hundreds of years.
The result was that they found this Demonic Path technique, the Phantasma Transformation Skill, in that cave.
With this technique, they could transform themselves into different people and change their aura.
Even when Misty Cloud City had put a bounty on them, they could still brazenly enter the city, with no one able to identify them.
If Zhou Sui hadn't interfered this time and killed them instantly, they might have been able to run rampant for decades more.
"If I could cultivate this method, in combination with my clone Gu, wouldn't that add wings to a tiger?"
"If the clone transforms into another person to sell the spiritual wine, no one could trace it back to me."
Zhou Sui's eyes brightened, and he was excited at the thought.
He felt that acquiring this method was literally a divine gift. He was indeed lucky.
With this in mind, he immediately tried to cultivate the techniques without any hesitation.
......
After six hours.
"Damn it, why can't I learn this bullshit technique?!"
Zhou Sui clenched his fist, grinding his teeth.
Though he had acquired the technique, he found that no matter what he did, he couldn't grasp it.
Clearly, learning this method was not as easy as he had thought.
The Misty Triad of old also spent over ten years to barely understand this technique.
As for him, he harbored the foolish dream of mastering this technique in a short period, which was ridiculous.
"Indeed, I'm no genius, just an ordinary person."
Zhou Sui was frustrated.
He had initially thought that after acquiring the Eighth Stage Spiritual Root, his perception and cultivation aptitude would improve significantly, making it possible for him to master various cultivation techniques and skills on his own.
But now, he realized he had overestimated his spiritual root aptitude. Even as an Eight Stage Spiritual Root, he was still low-grade, a bottom-rung cultivator. It wasn't worth mentioning at all.
