Chapter 121
"T-please wait! Fellow Daoist, why don't we talk about this?"
"That's right! I'm sure we can solve this without spilling unnecessary blood!"
The remaining five figures raised their hands to surrender to Su Yang, their expressions filled with fear.
Seeing these five people begging for their lives, Su Yang's expression remained indifferent, his gaze cold, as if he was looking at an insect that wasn't even worthy of his time.
“Hmph.” After snorting coldly, Su Yang suddenly started running towards the five middle-aged men without saying a word.
When the five middle-aged men saw this, their faces paled even more. One of them even shouted like a girl.
"Wait-WWW! I'll give you all my valuables if you spare my life!" One of the middle-aged men shouted out loudly, even taking off his storage ring for Su Yang.
However, unfortunately for him, Su Yang was someone who would not bother taking a Spirit-level Spiritual Treasury even if it was directly in front of him.
"If only you silently watched and had no funny ideas ..." Su Yang muttered before slashing it with Black Scorpion, cutting off his right arm easily.
"Ohahhhhh!"
The position began to spread immediately, covering the body of the man who was shouting with black stripes at a faster pace than the previous victim.
A few seconds later, his entire body turned pitch-black, looking like he had just swam in a puddle of ink.
After killing the second True Spirit Realm Cultivator, Su Yang moved to the next nearby individual, his eyes emitting a lot of bloodlust.
He was obviously still in a bad mood because of what had happened with the pill bottle, and now he had his reasons and methods to dispel that anger …
"What's wrong? Didn't you all talk about stealing this dagger from me with a smile on your face just a moment ago ?! Comeing! Take it if you can!" Su Yang said as he chased the fleeing individual.
"K-We were wrong for trying to steal a dagger from you! Help u! Forgive our lives!"
"Wrongly? No, you're not wrong for trying to take advantage of the 'weak' ones, because it's natural in the cultivation world. Your mistake was choosing me as your target!"
Su Yang instantly caught up to one of the fleeing people using the Nine Astral Steps and immediately slashed the Black Scorpion into the back of the individual.
A few seconds later, another corpse fell to the ground.
The remaining three each fled in different directions, but with a speed like Su Yang, he could catch the next one easily.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!"
And another one became the victim of the terrible Black Scorpion.
After another minute, the two True Spirit Realm Cultivators from the original six also followed the same trail as their comrades, falling to the ground as pitch-black corpses, it looked like they died after their bodies were possessed by demons. And in spite of all that hunting, there was not even a single drop of sweat on Su Yang's body.
As soon as he finished killing the last of the six Real Spirit Realm experts, Su Yang felt much better in terms of his mood. He then returned to one of the corpses and retrieved the storage ring lying beside him.
After looking into the storage ring for less than a second and assuming that it was all trash, he proceeded to throw everything inside the storage ring into the ground and save the storage ring.

"Hey, we're going."
Su Yang's sudden voice shocked Qiuyue, who was dazed throughout the ordeal.
"No."
He nodded in slow motion, clearly still dumbfounded by what he saw. In fact, his mind was still thinking about the thing dangling between Su Yang's legs; it was as if he couldn't think of anything else.
“By the way, what kind of water is that black water? It's the first time I've seen something like that.” Qiuyue asked him as they headed for the next Heavenly Level Spiritual Treasure.
"It was Devouring Water; it would devour anything that was not flesh or skin. Although it was not impossible to find, they were quite rare even within the Four Heavenly Realms. I was actually a little surprised when I first saw it for myself. Who would've thought this dog would throw something like that into the Legacy Tomb. "
"Eh? Then how could a Heaven-level Spiritual Treasure survive inside without being eaten?"
"Although it eats anything but meat, there are exceptions such as the Black Scorpion, as it contains elements similar to Drinking Water's – Dark Qi."
"Is that so…"
"And pointless as it sounds, this Devouring Water is actually a paradise for Demon Cultivators who mostly cultivate Dark Qi. Since it did not harm their meat, they would bathe in it and cultivate it like that, increasing their cultivation quickly and quickly. "
If the people who had first discovered Black Oasis were not a bunch of cowards, they might have been able to obtain the Black Scorpion before Su Yang, but after seeing the Spiritual Treasure-grade melted like butter in hot water, they might have been able to obtain the Black Scorpion before Su Yang, they did not dare to touch her with anything else, let alone their own flesh. However, no one could blame them for it, as it was logical to stay away from something that seemed dangerous.
If anything, only a madman or a fool would dare to touch something that could fuse Spiritual Treasures with their own flesh.

Ten minutes later .
Though, Su Yang only nodded with a calm expression. He does not care if there are ten people or even a hundred, because they all number the same in his eyes — does not exist.
They stopped moving a little later and stood a few hundred meters away from the group of people, quietly paying attention to their every move.
There were exactly two dozen people standing around the boulder, but they were standing there like stone statues, looking like they had been in the same position for days, and their gazes all stared intensively at the white cat standing on the rock with a proud and arrogant atmosphere around it.
Looking at his white fur and silver eyes, Su Yang's eyes suddenly flickered with a deep light.
"That's …"
But before Su Yang could even finish his sentence, Qiuyue said in a surprised tone: "This is a Ghost Cat! I didn't think I could see a rare species here, it was so unexpected."
Silver Ghost Cats were rare to find even in the Four Heavenly Realms due to their camouflage ability which allowed them to change completely invisible to the eyes and senses for a moment. And paired with insane speed and timidness, many people live their lives without ever seeing it, let alone catching it.
"This "dog for the Heavenly Emperor is truly an exotic creature. Not only did he manage to find Devouring Water but even managed to throw the Ghost Cat into his Inheritance Tomb? I strongly doubt that he has captured this Ghost Cat with his Cultivation base? " Su Yang wondered in astonishment.
He then looked at the group of people and chuckled, secretly laughing at these people who clearly had no idea what they were dealing with.
"Even the experts in the Ancient Realm would experience headaches when they heard the name Ghost Cat, yet you want to capture it with your cultivation base? Even if you brought a million people with similar cultivation, the Ghost Cat would still be able to easily walk around in front of your eyes without being caught! " Su Yang shook his head.
Lucky for these people, Ghost Cats are not known to be aggressive. In fact, there had never been a case of a Ghost Cat injuring a human, let alone attacking them. If not, then it would be a disaster not only for these people but also the outside world.
"But ... doesn't this make it impossible for us to get one too?" Qiuyue said with a strange expression. "Even if I take out my fastest flying treasure, the Ghost Cat will only become invisible and disappear like a real ghost."
"It would only be a waste of time if we tried to capture that Ghost Cat with our pitiful cultivation base. It was just a Heaven-level Spiritual Treasure, we don't need it," Su Yang said, already turning around to leave.
Shit, he had already given up on the Heavenly Level Spiritual Treasure hanging on the Ghost Cat's neck once he realized what he was looking at.
After all, only a truly foolish person would try to catch that thing despite knowing well of its abilities.
Qiuyue continued to look at the Ghost Cat who stood there arrogantly for a few seconds before also turning to leave. While he did not feel anything about losing a Heaven-level Spiritual Treasure alone, he was definitely disappointed at the fact that he felt helpless in this place that was not even the Four Heavenly Realms, either, even feel a little aggravated.
However, there was nothing he could do about it, as his opponent was the famous Ghost Cat that would cause headaches for even Cultivators much stronger than him.
"Don't feel too bad about it," Su Yang said after noticing the change on his face. "Even if I have my original cultivation base, I don't want to pursue any of those things."
"Un ..." Qiuyue nodded, but he was clearly still discouraged.
After leaving the Ghost Cat alone, Su Yang decided that it was time to search for the six cultivation techniques hidden in this place. Though, his expectations were basically nonexistent at this point after everything he had encountered so far.
And shortly after they started searching, Su Yang discovered his first cultivation technique, and it was basically hidden in the same way as the – pill bottle inside the dry ground.
"A Lightning Portrait…"
After taking a quick glance at the technique, Su Yang quickly assumed it was an Earth-level technique, before inserting it into his storage ring. While he personally did not use this technique, he planned to give it to the Profound Blossom Sect once he returned.
Once it was in his storage ring, they started heading towards the next one at a faster speed than before.

After spending an entire hour traveling each direction without a break, they finally obtained all six cultivation techniques.
In the end, there were three Mortal level techniques, two Earth level, and one Heaven level.
"Not even an Immortal-grade technique? What kind of Divine Realm expert did this dog not possess a single Immortal-grade technique? Did he not work for the Heavenly Emperor either? Surely he should have obtained at least one or two Divine-level cultivation techniques from a Heavenly Emperor! "
Su Yang began to believe the possibility that Han Xin had hidden his true wealth elsewhere because it would be difficult for anyone and not just him to believe that someone who had worked for the Emperor Heavenly would have little things in his possession, let alone his Inheritance Tomb meant for his successor.
"There is nothing else here other than that with the cultivation base of a Heavenly Spirit Realm expert," Qiuyue said.
"The Celestial Spirit Realm, huh. While I was aware of the fact that I was not even at the level where I could fight with a real Earth Spirit realm expert directly, let alone the Heaven Spirit Realm, let alone the Heavenly Spirit Realm, I have not used my own basic cultivation completely. "Su Yang pondered to himself.
Since this was his first time cultivating a supreme technique like the Celestial Body Refinement Book, even he could not say for sure how powerful he was currently without seeing for himself in battle.
And even though he had already killed the previous Patriarch of the Profound Blossom Sect, who was in the Earth Spirit Realm, Su Yang did not consider him a real Earth Spirit Realm expert because not only did he lack techniques, but he did not think of him as an expert of the real Earth Spirit Realm, but he also had almost no experience in combat.
"Qiuyue, I want to see for myself the boundary of this body that has cultivated one of the Seven Sublime Scriptures, the Celestial Body Refinement Book, so I will fight it alone."
Su Yang said to Qiuyue with a serious expression. He wanted to test the limits of his abilities. He wanted to see just how powerful the Celestial Body Refinement Scripture really was. He wanted to use his cultivation base without holding back!
"…"
Qiuyue looked at him with wide eyes full of shock, but since he was also curious about the effects of the best cultivation technique in the universe, he did not try to stop it.
If anything, he was confident that he would be able to protect her if something happened.
"Are you sure?" he asked just in case.
"When am I not sure?" Su Yang replied with a smile. "If something goes wrong, I'm sure you'll be able to handle it easily."
"Un." Qiuyue nodded.
