When they heard that it was Xu Yang and Zhu Yazhi's fault, Qi Yu and Liu Feng stood there in a daze, their faces turning red and white. They waited until the others had collected most of the corpses before turning around to collect the remaining monster corpses.

After collecting the bodies of their companions and cleaning up the battlefield, Zhao Zixuan, Qian Xuefei and others jumped into the flying boat at Fang Jingyi's signal.

There was only a whistling sound, and the turbulent sand valley became deserted. Only the roaring wind and sand remained, gradually burying all traces of what happened here.

......

......

Under the cover of night, the small building where the monks in the mine live.

Xu Yang sat cross-legged on the bed in the bedroom, holding a navy blue storage bag in his hand. Since the original owner had died, it didn't take much effort to erase the spiritual mark on it.

Input some mana to open it. To be honest, Xu Yang is a little excited at this moment. This is more interesting than opening a blind box.

"It seems that this sand bandit has robbed quite a few monks!"

A lot of stuff clattering around.

First of all, there were spirit stones, about 500 pieces. As expected, Xu Yang, who was so poor that he didn't even have a single spirit stone, became "rich overnight" by killing people and setting fires and getting a gold belt.

As an inner disciple of Fengling Palace, Xu Yang's annual salary is only 360 spirit stones.

The purchasing power of Huanhaizhou's spirit stones is not small, for example, the magical instruments that cultivators need in their daily lives.

A low-grade magic weapon, a little over a hundred spirit stones.

A medium-grade magic weapon, a little over two hundred spirit stones.

A top-grade magic weapon, a little over four hundred spirit stones.

A top-grade magic weapon, worth just over 800 spirit stones.

The price of some rare and special magical tools will be slightly higher.

Xu Yang's annual salary is 360 spirit stones, which seems not a small amount. If he saves it for more than a year, he can buy a top-grade magic weapon, but it is actually not easy to do.

Buying some elixirs to improve cultivation, going to the spiritual vein training room a few times, and daily spiritual food expenses, even a hardworking monk like the original owner who didn't even buy magical tools couldn't save many spirit stones...

Of course, there was also a part of the original owner who was desperate and tried all kinds of treatments, and was deceived into buying a lot of spiritual medicines and fruits such as Tiger Yuan Grass, which were said to be able to improve the qualifications of spiritual roots.

"The Earth Gold Knife is a mid-grade magical weapon. It seems I can return the Green Leaf Sword to Zhao Zixuan."

Xu Yang burned the clothes, shoes, socks and other miscellaneous items in the bandit's storage bag, and then picked up an earth-colored long sword weapon about three feet and three inches long. It is true that the Qingye Sword is of good quality, but it is still a low-grade magic weapon after all.

Now that I have the mid-grade magic weapon, the Earth Gold Knife, there is no point in keeping the Green Leaf Sword.

There were also some paper books and white jade slips, but after Xu Yang examined the contents, his ears turned slightly red and his face looked strange: "This sand bandit has good taste!"

Most of the pills are healing pills, magic-tonifying pills, as well as spirit-weakening powder, black gauze poison, lust medicine and other things that need to be criticized.

"The last one, specially preserved with a spirit-sealing talisman..."

Xu Yang picked up the last jade box and gently opened the soul-sealing talisman on it. He opened it and took a look, and exclaimed in surprise: "Xu Fa Dan!? It's a mid-grade one."

"Hehe, this should be the Sand Bandit in the sixth level of the Soul Condensation Realm preparing to break through to the late Soul Condensation Realm. He made a small profit again. It turned out that I made the right choice by choosing this Sand Bandit storage bag!"

Xufa Dan is specially used for breaking through small realms, and even the best-grade Xufa Dan has a significant effect on the Daotai realm.

The market price of a mid-grade Xufa Pill is between one hundred and sixty and two hundred spirit stones.

"The Void Law Pill is truly valuable, worthy of being used to break through ranks. However, considering the spiritual pressure level of the Void Law Pill, one must be at least in the late Soul Condensation Realm, or even at the ninth level of the Soul Condensation Realm to be able to refine it."

"Not to mention... there's also the issue of the pill formula. The recipe for this kind of precious elixir isn't something you can just get for something like the common Spirit Gathering Pill."

Xu Yang thought of the information about the Xufa Pill and couldn't help but salivate over it. If he could refine the Xufa Pill, and add his evil talent as a foundation, wouldn't the spirit stones come to him in droves?

Forget it, don't be too ambitious.

Xu Yang shook his head slightly, collected his thoughts, sorted the items he got from the 'blind box' into different categories, then took a Spirit Gathering Pill that he had refined himself, and practiced the Five Elements Spirit Transformation Technique.

......

......

Time flies, and fifteen days have passed in a blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, many monks came out of their retreat.

With the arrival of a new month, Xu Yang first received the salary of thirty spirit stones as an inner disciple. Then he had to work in the mine for ten consecutive days, thus getting twenty days of free time.

Outer disciples work twenty days a month, and menial disciples... don't have any rest in a month.

The sect is not doing charity, so it is natural to ask for something in return when training low-level disciples.

After finishing a night of training, Xu Yang came to an inconspicuous cave on a cliff in the forest seven or eight miles away from the small building where he lived in the mine. If anyone looked inside, they would definitely get a chill down their spine.

Because the empty and secluded cliff cave was filled with ferocious giant ants, each of which was more than half a meter long.

"During this time, I've been refining pills during the day and practicing at night. I've also found time to create Soul-Eating Ants..."

"There are now seventy-three Soul Devouring Ants, and the success rate of the Soul Gathering Pill has stabilized at 40%. It seems that I do have some talent as an alchemist."

Xu Yang thought about what he had gained in the past fifteen days, and a smile appeared on his face.

Not counting the Spirit Gathering Pills he consumed in his daily practice, he now had a total of fifty-one bottles of Spirit Gathering Pills on him, which means more than five hundred pills.

The materials for a Spirit Gathering Pill are six spirit stones. If three pills are made in one furnace, it is considered to be a break-even point. In other words, there is profit only when the success rate of the pills reaches more than 30%.

Now Xu Yang can make a profit even if he does not use the evil talent giantization materials. Once he uses the evil talent giantization materials to increase the age of medicinal materials, the cost he pays can be almost negligible.

"We are now facing the problem of the Soul-Eating Ants' growth. They can grow by devouring spiritual objects, so feeding them with spiritual stones is too expensive. Moreover, eating only spiritual stones and mundane metals will lead to stunted development."

"The spiritual mine is imperative!"

Xu Yang had an extra spirit beast bag on him, a top-grade one that cost him two hundred spirit stones. However, its capacity was great, and it could hold a thousand spirit-eating ants without feeling crowded.

In daily life, Xu Yang only displayed the low-grade spirit beast bag around his waist, and the high-grade one was hidden inside his clothes at the back of his waist.

Xu Yang collected all the soul-eating ants, controlled the earth-gold knife, and returned to his residence.

A simple breakfast of steamed spiritual rice and stewed green-eyed spiritual fish only costs three spiritual stones.

Refining the spiritual charm in it is equivalent to half a day of hard practice.

Although he had spent most of the five hundred spirit stones from the bandits in the past half month, Xu Yang still had more than fifty bottles of medium-grade spirit-gathering pills on him, worth at least one thousand five hundred spirit stones.

The more you spend, the more you earn, and time is becoming increasingly tight, so the more things that are beneficial to improving your cultivation, the better.

Xu Yang estimated that at the current rate of progress, he would only need four months to advance to the third level of the Soul Condensation Realm. This speed was achieved at the cost of dozens of spirit stones every day.

If you spend the previous month's income in one day, it would be strange if your cultivation progress is not fast.

Xu Yang packed up and pushed the door open to go out.

Pan Hu was standing not far from the door, and the two of them occasionally went to the mine together.
