Chapter 19 What is lost on one front, is gained on another.
If you don't die, I'll have to hide for a while.
Luo Qing's gaze lingered on Fu Chang for a moment before slowly withdrawing it.
Although there is some risk, as long as he hides in the dilapidated "fishing village" of the registered disciples for a month, no one would be so incredibly presumptuous as to think of it.
After skillfully extracting the souls and removing the evil spirits, Luo Qing and Fu Chang separately collected their spoils.
Fu Chang was indeed true to his word; he only took the Yin Wind Flag and delivered the fierce woman's storage bag to him intact.
Luo Qing naturally placed the most importance on the corpse of the Golden-backed Demon. He followed Qin Yu and the others' example and disposed of all the monster corpses on the ground, eventually filling five storage bags.
His own storage bag was filled with magical artifacts, pills, talismans and other items from Zhao Donglin and others.
The remaining women's undergarments, along with miscellaneous items related to their identities and all other suspicious objects, were all stuffed into the same storage bag by Luo Qing, who then threw it deep into the rat hole dug by the Earth-Turning Old Demon.
Only after finishing his work did Luo Qing agree to let Fu Chang leave, while he himself headed towards the Demon Bone Forest.
......
After walking briskly through the grass with his head covered for a full quarter of an hour, Fu Chang finally stopped on a hilltop.
He turned around abruptly, stared intently at his back for a long time, and only breathed a long sigh of relief after confirming that no one was following him.
"Phew~ Thank goodness, that Sun Huo has some brains, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have survived today!"
Fu Chang wiped the sweat from his forehead, and only then did he finally feel completely relieved.
"But what kind of heaven-defying secret technique does that guy cultivate to be able to unleash such domineering power from a low-grade first-tier spell!"
Fu Chang frowned, his face grave, and muttered to himself:
"No wonder the Star Palace values the Extreme Yin Island so much; these demonic secret techniques are indeed quite powerful."
As soon as he finished speaking, a smug smile flashed across Fu Chang's face, his tone carrying a hint of meaningful mockery:
"But that kid was still too green, and in the end he fell for my trick! Haha!"
Laughter echoed through the mountains for a moment, and then Fu Chang wiped his face and peeled off a human skin mask. This was actually a magical artifact used for disguise.
Therefore, it is clear that his name is not his real name.
The next moment, the person turned around and sped off again, disappearing into the dense vegetation in an instant.
......
Meanwhile, not long after Luo Qing and Fu Chang parted ways, he suddenly muttered to himself:
"Mengbao did a recap for me, marking all of Fu Chang's suspicious actions!"
If it were Luo Qing himself, he would only vaguely feel that something was wrong, but if asked to point out anything suspicious about Fu Chang, he really couldn't say.
"Yes, Master, Mengbao is using his power..."
"Master, Mengbao has discovered two suspicious points."
First, Fu Chang's initiative in offering the secret technique for refining talismans seemed somewhat deliberate.
Second, the keyword "monster" appears too frequently.
Luo Qing stopped abruptly, her face showing extreme solemnity.
"Mengbao, list out everything Fu Chang has said!"
"It's finished, Master!"
"They did mention demonic beasts several times, with two key instances. First, when they gave me the talisman-making technique, they specifically emphasized the demonic beast hide. Second, they reminded me not to rush to sell the demonic beast materials."
These words seem normal, but they are subtly influencing me.
Hehe, Mengbao, if we were to use reading comprehension to answer what he said, what would the answer be?
With Meng Bao's reminder, Luo Qing immediately noticed something unusual when she looked at Fu Chang's words again.
"The repeated hints about the value of the monsters were intended to incite the target's greed for them."
"That's right! That's exactly what he wants!"
However, these demonic beasts are naturally born and raised, so it's impossible for anyone to have done anything to them. And I have a strong connection to these demonic beasts..."
As Luo Qing spoke, her gaze grew increasingly fierce, her heart filled with resentment at being schemed against.
"It's a storage bag, Master!"
Mengbao has learned to answer questions quickly.
"Yes, the bodies of demonic beasts are enormous, and they cannot be carried without a storage bag."
Furthermore, the unique environment within the storage bag can greatly slow down the loss of spiritual energy from the corpse of a demon beast.
As she spoke, Luo Qing had already taken a blue storage bag embroidered with a person's name off her person.
"Alas, one should never be too greedy!"
Discarding these storage bags is equivalent to discarding the vast majority of the monster corpses, which is definitely a huge loss.
However, for the sake of his own life, Luo Qing still reluctantly emptied all the monster corpses from the five storage bags.
Thanks to his reincarnated senior brother Zhao, Luo Qing knew very well which parts of these demonic beasts were the most valuable.
The skin of the yellow leopard, the gall of the black-scaled snake, the teeth of the ground squirrel, and the carapace of the golden-backed centipede are all small in size but high in value!
So Luo Qing immediately took out Qin Shixiong's Green Shadow Sword, transformed into a butcher, skinning the skinned and gutting the gallbladders.
A moment later, he removed all the monster materials, his body covered in blood.
However, his disciple's storage bag was too small, and even this couldn't hold it all.
The largest part of the enclosure is the back armor of the Golden-backed Demon.
This old demon had been basking in the sun for hundreds of years, and even after it died, its carapace was still faintly glowing, which shows how strong its yang energy was.
That's why it was able to completely suppress the protective Yin winds of those Xuanhun Peak female disciples.
Luo Qing worked up a sweat trying to peel off its shell.
Although they occupy a lot of space, they are the most valuable to Luo Qing and absolutely cannot be abandoned.
Having no other choice, Luo Qing could only take out the lesser magical artifacts to make room for them.
With each item he discarded, his heart ached as if it were bleeding, and he secretly vowed:
I must find the biggest storage bag in the future!
These things couldn't be thrown away carelessly, so Luo Qing put them and the remaining demon corpses back into the five storage bags and then ran towards the nearest cliff.
Standing on the edge of the cliff, Luo Qing's lips twitched a few times before she hardened her heart and threw all five storage bags off the cliff, into the turbulent waves.
"Go, and never let anyone find you again!" he murmured.
"Don't be sad, Master. Didn't we keep all the most valuable things?"
Meng Bao gently comforted her.
That's true.
Luo Qing nodded and subconsciously reached for the Green Shadow Sword at her waist, which had been of great help.
The moment Luo Qing touched the sword, he thought of Senior Brother Qin, and thinking of Senior Brother Qin...
"Oh, right, mouse-ear grass!"
Luo Qing suddenly remembered the elixir that grew alongside the ground squirrel, clapped his hands, and hurriedly ran towards the ground squirrel's burrow.
Fortunately, he hadn't gone far; in fact, he turned back a little to get closer to the cliff.
A moment later, Luo Qing emerged from the hole, holding a medicinal herb with leaves shaped like mouse ears in his hand—it was Mouse Ear Grass!
"Haha! Three-hundred-year-old mouse-ear grass! Now I have all the main ingredients for refining elixirs!"
The extra gain dispelled Luo Qing's previous gloom, and she was in high spirits, her face full of joy.
"Mengbao, let's go home!"
Mengbao: "Wow, so cool!"
