Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Chapter 37 The Elder's Summoning

Upon hearing that someone dared to hunt down disciples of their own sect, the senior brothers of the Qingheng Sect were all filled with righteous indignation.

This is something that directly concerns their interests.

If a junior brother gets into trouble and the senior brother doesn't help, then when they get into trouble, the sect won't help either.

A disciple quickly relayed the message.

The remaining disciples then began to appease Zhang Yan.

"Junior brother, don't worry, you'll be safe once we reach our market town. What about the person chasing you?" A middle-aged senior brother carrying a sword comforted Zhang Yan.

The person who was pursuing me...

Ok……

He's dead.

Zhang Yan hesitated for a moment. This matter couldn't be kept secret any longer, so he had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Um?

what?
"Dead?" The middle-aged senior brother was stunned for a moment upon hearing Zhang Yan's words. "Good, good, good, well done! We Qingheng Sect disciples should dare to fight and struggle. Running away is not our way."

Upon hearing that Zhang Yan had killed someone, this senior brother not only did not blame him, but clapped his hands and cheered: "Just wait for the elders to summon you. After you're done, get some rest. Don't worry, the sect has everything under control. The sect will definitely give you justice!"

Although Zhang Yan killed the Zhou family cultivator.

But this matter cannot be left so easily. Intercepting and killing Qingheng Sect cultivators is a provocation against the authority of the Qingheng Sect.

Being killed by Zhang Yan was his own fault, but the saying "one person commits a crime, the whole family is implicated" is no joke.

Didn't have to wait long.

Zhang Yan was then summoned.

The elder stationed in Qingheng Market didn't look very old, around forty years old, with a handsome appearance, looking like a member of the immortal family.

"Disciple Zhang Yan greets Elder!" Zhang Yan quickly bowed.

"Yes, I understand. Tell me the details." He glanced at Zhang Yan and said casually.

"Yes, Elder." Zhang Yan dared not hide anything and told everything directly, but he only vaguely mentioned how he killed the other party.

The elder merely gave Zhang Yan a deep look, but did not ask any further questions.

While it's rare for someone in the early Qi Refining stage to kill someone in the late Qi Refining stage, it's not uncommon either. After all, it can be easily accomplished with just a high-quality talisman or any special means.

"Alright, the sect will definitely give you an explanation for this matter." After listening to Zhang Yan's words, the elder nodded: "You can end the sect mission ahead of schedule. I will notify the sect to send someone to pick you up."

"Thank you, Elder!"

With a glance from the elder, Zhang Yan obediently withdrew.

The senior disciples inside the sect were very hospitable and prepared two rooms for him and Liu Yiting to rest.

"That thief is really too vicious! Look, such a good girl has been beaten and she still hasn't woken up!" Zhang Yan said angrily as he carefully placed Liu Yiting on the bed, accompanied by one of his senior sisters.

Zhang Yan could only give an awkward laugh and remain silent.

Before they could even settle in, they heard a whooshing sound as several people on their flying swords quickly disappeared above the market. Flying was prohibited in Qingheng Market, so those people were likely the market's enforcement team. Judging from their flight direction, they were probably dealing with the problem Zhang Yan was facing.

"Don't worry, the sect will definitely give you an explanation."

"Thank you, senior sister."

Zhang Yan nodded.

He then settled into the room next to Liu Yiting's and began organizing his finds.

He took out a storage bag, which belonged to the red-faced cultivator. Since its owner was dead, the magical imprint on it could be easily broken.

After breaking it open, he couldn't wait to examine its contents. The storage bag wasn't large, but it contained quite a few things.

Unfortunately, most of the items were just odds and ends, and there were even a few sets of Taoist robes to change into. But what he found most unacceptable was that there were quite a few women's undergarments in various styles and sizes.

This made his face darken.

It seems this red-faced cultivator isn't a respectable person either. Zhang Yan only glanced at these items before casually tossing them into his storage bag.

The truly valuable things are spirit stones, elixirs, spirit herbs, and magical artifacts.

There are more than three hundred spirit stones alone.

There were over a dozen bottles of pills, each labeled with its name. The most valuable was the Qi Condensation Pill, a cultivation pill for the mid-stage of Qi Refining. There were also some other Qi Gathering Pills, as well as various auxiliary pills, totaling over two hundred spirit stones in value.

Most of the spiritual herbs and medicines were low-grade first-tier herbs, not very valuable, so Zhang Yan didn't bother to calculate them.

Finally, it came down to the ritual implements.

Although this red-faced cultivator was a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, he possessed very few magical artifacts, only four in total.

One of them was the almost completely ruined kite.

In addition, there is a small, earth-yellow shield, a mountain-like structure, and three flying needle-like magical artifacts.

Leaving aside kites.

Of the remaining three magical artifacts, the small earthen-yellow shield is a low-grade magical artifact, the small mountain is a high-grade magical artifact, and the three flying needles are mid-grade magical artifacts.

"Excellent, excellent, this has been a very fruitful trip!"

All these miscellaneous items add up to at least a thousand spirit stones.

"As expected, murder and arson bring wealth and power!"

Zhang Yan sighed. No wonder so many cultivators are addicted to killing and robbing. The taste of making quick money is just too good!

Killing one person can earn you the reward of a year's or even longer of hard work.

"However, this path is not suitable for me."

Zhang Yan looked down on the idea of ​​killing to steal treasure. He had a cheat-like ability and there was no need for him to take risks. He had already figured it out and would wait until he returned to his sect.

He honestly stayed in the sect, farming and cultivating, and would never leave the sect unless absolutely necessary!
"Speaking of which, this magical artifact is quite useful."

Zhang Yan glanced at the three magical artifacts. Although the small, earthen-yellow shield was a low-grade magical artifact, its attributes were quite good.

[Equipment Name]: Earth Shield

[Equipment Quality]: Green
[Equipment Effect]: Defense Boost (Your defense is slightly increased.) Force Reduction (You can deflect a portion of the force of an attack.)
With this equipment attribute, he'll be safer in the future.

As for the remaining small mountain and the flying needle-like magical artifacts, they didn't really catch Zhang Yan's eye.

The entry is rather poor.

After a while, he will sell all of these things.

"While there's still time, let's try these pills." Looking at the pills he had seized from the red-faced cultivator, Zhang Yan pulled the silly bird out of his sleeve.

At this moment, it is looking around curiously.

Zhang Yan poured a Qi Gathering Pill directly from the bottle and then pinched off a small piece.

Before Zhang Yan could make a move...

The silly bird then came forward and swallowed it whole.

However, just after swallowing the Qi Gathering Pill, something unexpected happened.
