Nine Evolutions of the True Spirit Chapter 39 - Cave-Dwelling

After Lu Ping escaped from death’s claws, he started cleaning up the battlefield. He began with the five Xuan Ling Sect disciples’ belongings. He collected their interspatial pouches and plundered six mystic instruments, two of which were mid-grade and the remaining four were low-grade.

Lu Ping looked with pity at the two mid-grade mystic instruments Senior Martial Brother Qiao had used. They were clearly of high-quality, but unfortunately, Senior Martial Brother Qiao had sacrificed them so he could activate the talisman treasure. Hence, they were destroyed by the sea snake.

Other than that, there were more than 1,300 spirit stones altogether. Among which, Senior Martial Brother Qiao alone contributed to more than 600 spirit stones. In addition to owning a talisman treasure, Lu Ping could say for sure that Senior Martial Brother Qiao was definitely an important talent, with a background that was even stronger than Lin Sheng’s Lin Clan.

Although one of the two snake fang daggers had been destroyed, the one remaining was still a strong mystic instrument that could be used for sneak attacks and assassinations.

As for the snake tongue sword, even though it was the sea snake’s life-weapon and incredibly strong, it was only as good as an ordinary mid-grade mystic instrument after the sea snake’s death.

Lu Ping cut open the monster’s huge body with his flying sword and dug out a huge gallbladder. This was one of the essences of the sea snake, a must-have ingredient for several Blood Condensation Realm medicinal pellets. It was extremely precious.

After that, Lu Ping opened up the snake’s weak point and dug out its perfectly intact heart. This was the most precious part of the entire sea snake!

He carefully cut open the huge heart with the Flying Swallow Sword and four pearl-like blood beads rolled out. Lu Ping quickly captured them inside a bottle that he prepared beforehand. He still felt worried even after sealing the bottle, so he put the container insi
