The Lu Sect cultivators pursued for hundreds of miles, slaying countless demons and evil cultivators.
Demons were mortal enemies of humans, and once caught, there was no possibility of mercy.
Evil cultivators, though human, had defected to the demons, acting as their lackeys, making them even more detestable than the demons themselves.
Huang Feifei knew Xiao Fei needed demon corpses, so she had already issued an order: everyone could exchange demon corpses they slew for corresponding rewards.
As soon as the great battle ended, the Lu Sect cultivators, each carrying a variety of demon corpses, brought them to Xiao Fei's cave dwelling.
For this, Xiao Fei specially brought the old man Fei Xin over to help him manage the acquisitions and bookkeeping.
Before the battle began, Fei Xin had hoarded a large amount of supplies. The battle ended too quickly, and he hadn't had a chance to sell them at a high price before it was over.
Originally, it was expected that this great war would last for several years, starting from the Lu Sect and then extending to the Wu Kingdom.
However, it seemed the Wu Kingdom didn't need to be attacked by demons; a large number of Wu Kingdom cultivators had already defected to the demons, and with Xiao Fei's successful advancement to Nascent Soul, the battle on the Lu Sect's side concluded much earlier.
Fei Xin's stockpiled goods, which he intended to profit from the war, were now stuck with him.
Xiao Fei happened to need these supplies, so he mobilized them all to be distributed as rewards for exchanging demon corpses.
As for the deficit in the Treasure Pavilion's supplies, he could later replenish it with some spirit pills and elixirs.
When Fei Xin arrived, he also brought Xiao Fei's fifth senior sister, Huangfu Xuan.
Last time, Xiao Fei had given Huangfu Xuan a Golden Core Pill, which allowed her to successfully reach the Golden Core stage. She was now at the mid-stage of Golden Core cultivation.
This woman was someone who had made Xiao Fei feel deeply impressed at first sight years ago.
Having taken a youth-preserving pill in her earlier years, Huangfu Xuan, now several hundred years old, still looked young.
Huangfu Xuan had trained in the merchant business for many years and now handled matters with efficiency.
"Everyone line up, take out your demon corpses in advance. Rewards will be assessed based on the strength of the corpses."
Huangfu Xuan evaluated the corpses while loudly directing the people behind her.
"This is a demon of Golden Core strength. You can exchange it for ten third-tier pills. The specific types of pills can be chosen according to your needs."
After inspecting the demon corpse, Huangfu Xuan issued an exchange voucher.
The cultivator holding the voucher was quite satisfied.
Demon corpses were not of much use, so being able to exchange it for ten third-tier pills was an unexpected joy.
The work of exchanging corpses continued for three days, until all the demon corpses from this battle were collected.
They filled every storage bag of Xiao Fei.
In addition to these, he had several Nascent Soul demon corpses in his spatial dimension, and he had also captured a few alive.
Xiao Fei planned to leave the nine-eyed demon and the emaciated human cultivator for Huang Feifei to deal with, and would not touch them for the time being.
The demon that looked like a black shadow had also been killed by him.
The demon corpses Xiao Fei obtained this time were far more numerous and of higher quality than the beast corpses he had acquired in the East Sea last time.
It seemed that the more people there were, the greater the strength. In just a few days, so many demons had been killed.
Xiao Fei spread out these corpses on the jade floor in his spatial dimension, filling the entire area.
Next, he cast a set of profound incantations at the jade altar again, and the altar lit up with a dazzling white light.
When the light faded, all the demon corpses on the jade floor had disappeared, not even a drop of blood remaining.
Xiao Fei looked towards the altar and saw an item on it.
He quickly walked over and picked it up. It was a black short blade, neither like a saber nor a sword, nor a spear.
The blade was only a little over a foot long, and it didn't feel very sharp to the touch. The words "Bloodthirsty" were engraved on the blade surface, which should be the name of this treasure.
The hilt was round like a spear shaft, cast as one with the blade, and was about a foot long.
Xiao Fei held the treasure and weighed it in his hand, feeling it was not very heavy.
He was a bit disappointed. He had spent so many demon corpses to get such a small item.
This item was still merely a magic treasure, far from reaching the level of a spiritual treasure.
He wondered how many strong cultivators' corpses would need to be sacrificed to obtain a treasure of the spiritual treasure level.
Using a magic treasure required refining it first. Although this treasure was not a spiritual treasure, it should definitely be superior to ordinary magic treasures.
Last time, he had fewer beast corpses, but he had also obtained a Soul Stabilizing Art. This time, the treasure should be even better.
Xiao Fei took out Bloodthirsty, sat cross-legged in the secret chamber, calmed his mind, and adjusted his state to the best.
Especially, he had to avoid laughing and ruining the solemn atmosphere.
After all these days, although he could mostly suppress his laughter, there were many times when he failed, ruining many potentially solemn atmospheres.
For example, yesterday, Elder Shangguan was addressing all the remaining disciples of the Lu Sect, encouraging them and motivating them, telling them to be proud of the Lu Sect from now on.
He suddenly couldn't hold back and laughed like an idiot next to them.
At that time, so many people from the Lu Sect looked at him with surprised eyes.
Xiao Fei prepared for a long time, ensuring he wouldn't suddenly burst into laughter, and then picked up the strangely styled "Bloodthirsty."
Refining a magic treasure required one's own blood as a guide. Xiao Fei casually made a deep cut on his arm with "Bloodthirsty."
His physical body was too robust; even with such a forceful cut, it only opened a very slight wound on his arm.
However, just as Xiao Fei was about to move "Bloodthirsty" away from the wound, he found that the blade of "Bloodthirsty" seemed to have fused with the wound on his arm.
Not only that, but the blood from his entire body was surging from that small wound towards the blade of "Bloodthirsty."
The blood flowed faster and faster, and more and more, while this "Bloodthirsty" stuck to him, impossible to pull off, and was drilling deeper into the wound.
This time, Xiao Fei was truly startled. Judging by the situation, "Bloodthirsty" seemed intent on sucking him dry before stopping.
As his internal blood rapidly drained, he felt increasingly weak, making it even harder to pull away "Bloodthirsty."
At this point, he made a decision: he would chop off that arm.
As a Nascent Soul cultivator, losing an arm was merely a flesh wound, and he could grow a brand new arm later.
Just as he took out another flying sword, intending to chop off the arm, the weakened him could no longer hold back and burst into laughter again.
"Hahaha... Hahaha..."
With this laughter, he mobilized his internal blood and qi, and the "Bloodthirsty" was no longer able to suck his blood.
Seeing this, Xiao Fei stopped suppressing his laughter and instead laughed more heartily and unrestrainedly.
Indeed, after he laughed for a while, this "Bloodthirsty," unable to contend with the laws, fell to the ground from his arm.
Only then did Xiao Fei bend down to pick up the "Bloodthirsty" evil blade that had almost drained him dry.
The Immortal Realm exchanged a treasure for him, yet there wasn't even an instruction manual. It almost killed him.
