Chapter 34: The Small Five Elements Sword Formation
During his battle with Xiao Yu, Li Xun had unleashed an array of magical treasures from his storage pouch. As the favoured prodigy of Blazing Sky Valley, he was laden with valuable artefacts, and his storage pouch undoubtedly held more treasures.
“This storage pouch is mine now.”
Using an artefact manipulation spell, Xiao Yu summoned the pouch into his hand.
With Li Xun now dead, the storage pouch had become an ownerless object. Xiao Yu effortlessly performed a blood recognition ritual to claim ownership, making all its contents his.
Whoosh!
With a wave of his sleeve, a burst of alchemical fire engulfed Li Xun’s corpse, reducing it to ashes. No evidence remained, leaving no trace of the battle.
“Alchemical fire!”
“Senior Brother Xiao, so you’re actually a Golden Core cultivator!”
Zhang Fanchén gazed at Xiao Yu with admiration, his eyes alight with awe.
In that moment, Xiao Yu’s stature grew immensely in Zhang’s eyes. Already prone to self-doubt, Zhang felt even more inadequate in comparison.
“Exactly! I was worried for nothing earlier,” Jingang chimed in, his voice booming. “With Senior Brother Xiao’s incredible powers and formidable treasures, how could any demon possibly stand a chance?”
Even now, Zhang Fanchén and Jingang still believed Li Xun was a demon. It wasn’t their fault—after all, demons who had cultivated for three to five centuries could assume human form. Without a demon-revealing mirror, it was nearly impossible to discern the truth.
“Gentlemen, the matter here is resolved, and the town is safe once more. What are your plans going forward?”
As Xiao Yu secured the storage pouch, he smiled and asked.
“Not bad,” he muttered, satisfied with his handiwork.
He set up eight formation flags within the cave walls, instantly activating a protective array to safeguard his temporary home.
“Time to check what’s inside Li Xun’s storage pouch,” Xiao Yu said, settling into a meditative posture.
Retrieving the pouch, he sent his divine sense into it, eager to inventory his spoils.
“Ha! So many treasures!”
Xiao Yu’s eyes sparkled with delight.
The storage pouch contained an astonishing variety of items: magical tools, manuals, pills, spiritual stones, medicinal herbs, and crafting materials—it was a veritable treasure trove.
“All mine now!”
Xiao Yu’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
Like a corrupt official gloating over his ill-gotten gains, he began examining each item, his smile widening with every discovery.
As a prodigy of Blazing Sky Valley, Li Xun’s collection included many rare alchemical ingredients: Dragon Beard Grass, Clear Spirit Leaves, White Frost Flowers, and more.
There were also crafting materials aplenty: Iron Essence, Copper Essence, Gold Essence, Obsidian, Diamond Sand, and more.
In addition, the pouch held a wealth of ready-made items: over a hundred bottles of Qi Gathering Pills, seventy packets of Spirit Condensation Powder, more than forty bottles of Golden Wound Medicine, over a hundred low-grade flying swords, and over twenty middle-grade spears.
Due to the sheer variety, Xiao Yu transferred everything into his storage pouch without examining each item in detail. He also found fifty high-grade spiritual stones, which he happily pocketed.
“What’s this? The Small Five Elements Sword Formation?”
