Great Demon Leader: Start By Refining Flying Zombies

Chapter 35: Treasure and Beauty

"Blood Soul Jade of 500 years!"

"Poison Sand Gold of 1000 years!"

"The spiritual stones have actually piled up like a small mountain... Huh, these purple spiritual stones, could they be High Grade spiritual stones?"

"There are also complete sets of Law Weapons, High Level flying swords, and pills!"

He had anticipated that there would be quite a few treasures, but his Qi Refining stage cultivation limited his imagination. He never expected that a Gold Core cultivator would have such a rich fortune.

He once heard an interesting question when he was still on Blue Star in his previous life. The question was, if one day you and your companions won five million in the lottery, would you split it in half with them?

Liang Xiao used to think that as an unlucky person like himself, he would never encounter such a happy problem. But unexpectedly, after coming to the world of cultivation, he actually had the opportunity.

Liang Xiao numbly looked at the treasures filling the Universe Bracelet, and for a moment, he was torn between heaven and earth.

However, after a moment, Liang Xiao couldn't help but laugh helplessly, feeling that his perspective was too narrow.

This woman's cultivation level is higher than mine, she possesses a special physique, and she has the Nascent Soul inheritance. Who knows how many cards she has up her sleeve? Could she be a fool?

Moreover, the other party didn't even have any intention of making a move against him, a Qi Refining beginner.

Even if he used some underhanded means and took advantage of the situation, it wouldn't benefit his cultivation progress. After all, one has to eat one's food bite by bite. The resources obtained from the Hundred Calamities Old Ghost, even if he only had half of them at the moment, would be enough for his initial development.

For Liang Xiao at the moment, as long as he can meet his initial development needs, he can quickly become so strong that it would astonish people, just like a snowball rolling down a hill.

After all, when it comes to seizing a large amount of benefits, it still depends on how he explores the Doomsday World in the future.

Unnecessary greed, if it cannot bring practical benefits, will only add unnecessary risks.

Moreover, learning alone without friends will inevitably lead to ignorance and narrow-mindedness. This applies to both the righteous and demonic paths.

Although he and Qin Long have not known each other for long, they have experienced life and death together and have developed a deep bond.

This woman is the appearance of a Nascent Soul certified by a Gold Core ancestor. By maintaining this relationship, he might have an extra lifeline in the future.

But now is not the time for that. It is not wise to ignore long-term benefits for resources that are not useful.

Liang Xiao thought this way in his heart, then he looked at Qin Long, who was standing quietly on the side with a curious expression.

He sighed and thought, people from Blue Star are really cunning. They speak of righteousness, but their hearts are filled with business.

But Liang Xiao didn't feel guilty about it. After all, calculating each other is the norm in the world of cultivation, and the path of cultivation is a path of balance.

Only cultivators with true wisdom can see the way forward.

If one is stubborn and falls into a rut, unable to see gains and losses clearly, how can they become an immortal?

Sometimes, the simplest choice is often the correct one.

Expressing one's thoughts and pursuing one's true self is not a bad strategy.

After some contemplation, Liang Xiao was determined to be straightforward and execute a fair distribution plan.

Suddenly, he felt a significant clarity in his mind, as if a clear energy descended from above.

This change brought joy to Liang Xiao's heart, and it was not a reward for doing good deeds, but rather a breakthrough of inner constraints.

Perhaps in the mortal realm, this could be called a blessing to the soul, breaking through demonic obstacles and opening up one's mind.

Immediately, Liang Xiao took out a pile of spirit stones from the Universe Bracelet, probably more than ten thousand pieces, forming a heap of spirit stones, instantly filling the air with strong spiritual energy.

Taking a breath of it made one feel refreshed and clear-minded.

The Gold Core old ghost, Daoist Bai Jie, seeing this scene, thought that Liang Xiao only intended to distribute this much.

He discreetly glanced at Liang Xiao and saw the latter's calm expression, causing him to inwardly curse.

He thought to himself, "No wonder he's a brat from Myriad Demons Cave, so greedy and ruthless."

"Wow! So many spirit stones..."

In contrast, Qin Long's eyes sparkled, and her delicate hand brushed through the pile of spirit stones, making a crisp sound.

Her gaze was pure, completely immersed in the scene before her, seemingly fully satisfied, without even glancing in Liang Xiao's direction.

She didn't even ask to check the Universe Bracelet, simply approving the result with joy.

"Gui Ying, we were able to survive all thanks to your efforts. However you plan to distribute these spirit stones, I'm fine with it," Qin Long smiled at Liang Xiao, stepping aside and giving him the decision-making power.

The gaze of Daoist Bai Jie towards this woman seemed to be looking at a fool.

He thought to himself, "With just this little thing, you still want to divide it up and make me take even less? This is unimaginable for an old demon like me."

There was a moment of silence on the scene.

However, Liang Xiao snorted lightly, raised his head calmly, and said, "What are you talking about? This old ghost has plenty of treasures. This pile of spirit stones is the least valuable among them!"

After speaking, several piles of spirit stones were moved out and stacked together, reaching the height of the hall's dome.

Qin Long's eyes widened slightly, but Liang Xiao didn't stop there.

High-level artifact refining materials!

Move! They were piled up like scraps of iron, covering the ground.

Rare Law Weapons, formation flags, flying swords, and elixirs!

Move! A large pile of bottles and jars, like entering a grocery store.

Some precious spell jade slips!

Handwritten notes containing insights on cultivation!

Maps of hidden treasure locations!

(Note: The translation provided is a faithful representation of the Chinese text. However, without further context, it is difficult to fully understand the meaning and significance of certain terms and references.)

They have all been moved out! Piled up layer by layer, just like ordinary waste paper.

...

All sorts of things, none of them ordinary items. Every time one is taken out, it makes Daoist Baijie's eyebrows twitch, glaring fiercely at Liang Xiao as if he wants to swallow him alive.

These treasures are all his!

Originally, Liang Xiao had secretly kept most of the treasures, which, although despicable and shameful, was quite in line with the old ghost's intentions.

Because Daoist Baijie was still thinking that after Liang Xiao died, he would inherit his legacy again.

But now, it seems that this prodigal Liang Xiao wants to divide the treasures in the Universe Bracelet with the girl in front of him.

After the two separate, how can the old ancestor take over the world?

"Gui Ying, this is too much, you don't have to..."

Qin Long pursed his lips and looked at Liang Xiao, his expression no longer as joyful as before, becoming quite complicated.

Liang Xiao held the Universe Bracelet and poured it out again, unexpectedly a few spirit-filled South Sea Spirit Pearls fell out.

"Well, finally it's gone, it's about this much!"

Then Liang Xiao clapped his hands and threw the Universe Bracelet in his hand onto the pile of spirit stones in front of him.

Looking around, the originally empty Earth Fire Great Hall was almost filled with all kinds of treasures.

Daoist Baijie wasn't bragging, the space in the Universe Bracelet could really hold a mountain, and all the treasures inside were taken out, enough to make one dizzy.

The scattered spiritual energy even turned into a thin white mist, gathering in the air above the hall, forming various rare birds and exotic beasts, and beautiful flowers and strange plants.

At this moment, the space left for them to stay was already quite narrow, completely submerged by the treasures.

"According to our agreement before entering the hall, these treasures should be divided equally between us."

Hearing Liang Xiao's plain words, Daoist Baijie's heart was filled with tears, almost suffocating.

In addition to the original resources in the Earth Fire Great Hall, there were also the treasures he had accumulated painstakingly over hundreds of years, and they were divided by two Qi Refining stage juniors like this.

"You little devil, why don't you just divide me up too!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, perhaps to avoid seeing and being annoyed. Daoist Baijie suddenly controlled his Gold Core to crash straight into the air, and finally disappeared into the empty Universe Bracelet without a sound.

Liang Xiao glanced at the old ghost and, seeing how excited he was, also guessed his dark thoughts.

On the other hand, Qin Long, upon hearing Daoist Baijie's complaint, couldn't help but chuckle.

Then she turned her head to look at Liang Xiao, her eyes showing some admiration and a hint of reproach.

"Actually, you are a smart person, you should know that you don't have to give me so much. You saved my life, and I am grateful."

"I know, but suddenly I don't want to do that anymore."

"Why?"

"Because it doesn't suit my taste."

Qin Long suddenly chuckled, a smile filling her eyes. She pointed at Liang Xiao and said, "Maybe you should learn from that old Gold Core ghost and see how to be a demon lord."

Liang Xiao smirked and shrugged.

If a demon lord only knows how to snatch and kill, they probably won't go far.

The Hundred Calamities Ghost has his own interests, and Liang Xiao doesn't have to imitate him just because he is a Gold Core, treating him as a model.

The so-called Demon Dao represents the path he wants to take, and it can only be his own choice.

"But your actions have put me in a difficult position."

"If you think you owe me a favor, you don't have to. I don't care about that. The true transmission technique you gave me is something I wanted to practice myself."

Liang Xiao said, showing great magnanimity instead of trying to make things difficult for the other party.

Making the other person feel guilty on their own often yields greater results than scolding them with a stern face.

Qin Long shook her head, then walked a few steps around Liang Xiao. She raised her hand and sucked a flying sword from the treasure pile, which fell into her delicate jade hand.

Casually displaying a few sword moves, one could see the brilliance and sword aura surpassing the previous Qingfeng Sword by an unknown amount.

"Luo Shui... is truly a good sword, surpassing countless ordinary weapons."

Qin Long held the sword horizontally in front of her, carefully looking at the engraved name.

She lightly touched the blade with two fingers, and the sword trembled slightly, like a pool of autumn water, reflecting an unparalleled beauty.

"You... so you can change your appearance!"

Liang Xiao was stunned, but also felt it was only natural, because he had long felt that the temperament and figure of this woman in front of him did not match her ordinary appearance.

"It's just a trick of disguise in the martial world, Gui Ying, do you know how long I have been on the path of immortality?"

"I don't know."

Liang Xiao thought for a moment, then shook his head. With her talent and opportunities, he couldn't be sure how long it took her to cultivate to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Qin Long didn't mind either. Her appearance was extremely beautiful, but not the kind of delicate and pitiful beauty that people would feel sorry for. Instead, she was like a proud eagle, with a heroic and elegant beauty, as if she was a female swordsman shuttling through the storms of the martial world, with her life intertwined with a single sword.

"It has been less than half a year since I encountered the opportunity for immortality, so I don't consider myself a cultivator. I prefer to see myself as someone from the martial world."

Qin Long stared at Liang Xiao, her imposing aura bursting forth, and the sword in her hand pointed straight at him.

"Oh no, is this woman going to attack?"

Just as Liang Xiao thought he was about to be deceived, she suddenly revealed a charming smile.

"According to the rules of our Yan Kingdom's martial world, if I can't repay a life-saving favor, then I can only offer myself!"

Liang Xiao took a deep breath, and his first reaction was that this might be a situation where she wanted to gain both people and wealth.

He glanced at Qin Long and saw that her eyes were clear, without any hint of joking, completely serious.

Indeed, only in the mortal realm, nurtured by a relatively simple environment, could a girl be so sincere.
