Chapter 240: Chapter 154: The Agreed Duel of Spells, Liou Yuan’s Calculations (Double Chapter)

After rummaging through the two storage bags, he indeed found two bottles of healing elixirs in Liou Tao’s storage bag that hadn’t been used up.

Those two bottles of elixirs were obviously used by Liou Tao to suppress his injuries, having consumed more than half, leaving fewer than three pills still lying in the jade bottle.

Using the Fixed Star Compass for identification, Liou Yuan confirmed these three elixirs had healing effects on his injuries, and he swallowed them all at once.

No wonder they’re the healing medicine from Liou Tao’s pocket, the efficacy is quite remarkable; within less than three seconds of taking the elixirs, the pain in Liou Yuan’s arm started to vanish.

Moreover, the medicinal fragrance seeped through his pores, and his flesh began to itch, as new flesh started growing.

"Hey, it’ll be fully healed in less than half a month."

Liou Yuan waved his arm, nodding in satisfaction.

After doing all this, Liou Yuan regained his spirits and dumped the contents of Zhan Huaping and Liou Tao’s storage bags onto the ground.

Having been out for so long, Liou Yuan’s gains were more than just stone beads.

In these two storage bags were all the assets of Zhan Huaping and Liou Tao.

Among the two, Zhan Huaping was the fastest money-making genius in artifact refining.

Liou Tao was a direct line five-star genius of the Liou Family, so naturally, their Star Stones weren’t few.

Combined, the two had more than two hundred Star Stones, equivalent to seventy merit points.

On the path of cultivation, Star Stones are never enough, and Liou Yuan gleefully accepted them all without reservation.

Then there were stone beads.

Liou Tao’s storage bag contained stone beads worth fifty Stone Skill points.

Zhan Huaping had stone beads worth ninety Stone Skill points, totaling one hundred forty Stone Skill points.

Liou Yuan himself had sixty-seven Stone Skill points, summing up to two hundred and seven Stone Skill points.

Three Stone Skill points was the passing line for this Outer Sect training.

Meaning, Liou Yuan’s current Stone Skill points were enough for a hundred people to pass the Outer Sect training.

"This quantity securely places me in the top three at this stage."

"I feel that right now even Tuoba Xin might not have two hundred Stone Skill points."

Liou Yuan licked his lips, grouping all those stone beads into his own storage bag.

Next was the tallying of some valuable items.

The miscellaneous items were tossed aside by Liou Yuan; Zhan Huaping’s miscellaneous items were the most, mostly artifact refining materials and related jade scrolls, of little value to Liou Yuan, only to be swapped for merit points later.

Liou Yuan focused on searching through Liou Tao’s storage bag.

His target was clear, to see if he could find the Jade Scroll for the C-level Cloud Manipulation Skill.

"The two branches of the Liou Family were originally the same source, I can execute the Water Acupoint, Ice Acupoint, and Fog Acupoint spells."

"Obtaining the Cloud Manipulation would make this trip to the Erosion Land perfect."

Unfortunately, Liou Yuan searched thoroughly through Liou Tao’s storage bag but did not find any trace of the Cloud Manipulation Skill Jade Scroll.

Leaving Liou Yuan’s enthusiastic heart abruptly cold.

"Alas, such a level of skill is surely well-protected by the Liou Family, it would be strange if it circulated outside."

Understanding the reasoning, Liou Yuan sighed, calming his thoughts.

Of course, other items in Liou Tao’s storage bag were of no low value.

There was a small silver palm-sized compass.

Liou Yuan deduced it was the magical artifact for tracking the spell mark on him.

Strangely, when Liou Yuan picked it up, the needle constantly pointed at him, causing his scalp to tingle, and he cursed aloud, "Liou Tao, you bastard."

Immediately, he emptied out the contents of his storage bag, checking one by one, and finally found the spell mark on a stone bead.

Liou Yuan crushed it directly, then felt fully at ease, continuing to inspect Liou Tao’s storage bag.

Inside were many elixirs to enhance cultivation, and upon identification with the Fixed Star Compass, one bottle called Spirit Attachment Elixir was the most precious, with minimal elixir toxins.

They could be taken together with the two Qi Gathering Elixirs Liou Yuan had seized from Sheng Zeming.

"With this Spirit Attachment Elixir, combined with the Qi Gathering Elixirs, when I break through the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, I can use medicine to push my cultivation directly to the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, saving me substantial practice time."

Liou Yuan carefully kept the Spirit Attachment Elixir.

The Qi Cultivation Realm is all about the accumulation of Spiritual Power.

In the early stages of cultivation, taking elixirs would accumulate elixir toxins, affecting the speed of cultivation.

But at the bottleneck of the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer to the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, there’s not as much concern.

Directly using medicine to reach the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, then starting to practice Foundation Establishment Technique.

By the day Foundation Establishment is achieved, Washing Marrow will expel all elixir toxins from the body, leaving no worries behind.

This is also common knowledge in the Cultivation Realm.

Other cultivators use medicine too, but they need the capital, elixirs like Spirit Attachment Elixir and Qi Gathering Elixir are not cheap.

With the acquisition of the Spirit Attachment Elixir, Liou Yuan won’t even have to prepare specially when the time comes.

After taking stock of his gains, Liou Yuan summed it up, finding only the Spirit Attachment Elixir to be useful to him.

Aside from that, Liou Tao had a few jade scrolls of skills that he could practice, but they were all D-level.

Liou Yuan had no interest in skills below C-level now, considering them a waste of his time, intending to sell them all instead.

"These miscellaneous items can still sell for at least a Hundred-Star Stone." Liou Yuan calculated gleefully.

Liou Yuan consolidated all the miscellaneous items together, putting them into a single storage bag.

Then, taking a deep breath with a careful expression, he reached from his storage bag to take out the pair of exquisite magical artifacts, the Cold Star and Moonlight Bracelet, that he had snatched from Zhan Huaping.

This pair of exquisite magical artifacts was Liou Yuan’s greatest gain this time.

Previously, Liou Yuan was busy chasing down Liou Tao and had no leisure to admire this pair of exquisite magical artifacts.

Now that things had settled down, he naturally couldn’t resist a proper appreciation.

The main material of the bracers was unknown, only that it felt cool to the touch.

The surface of the bracers bore fine patterns, shimmering with the unique metallic luster under dim light.

The edges of the bracers were meticulously polished, smooth and round, yet subtly radiating a sharp aura.

Most striking were the two spiritual stones embedded separately on the pair of bracers.

One was dark blue in color, while the other was suffused with a silver glow.

The two spiritual stones represented different abilities of this pair of bracers.

The dark blue stone’s bracer was naturally a defense magical artifact.

While the bracer embedded with the silver stone was undoubtedly an attack magical artifact, capable of transforming into a weapon shape for attack.

Liou Yuan’s arm was gravely injured by it.

"Zhan Huaping, you meddlesome fool," Liou Yuan licked his tongue, chuckling sinisterly.
