Chapter 46

Following Zhen Qingchun's advice, Du Shaofu hesitated for a moment. He had heard before that for some spirit artifacts and Qiankun Bags, a blood recognition process was required. Therefore, without much hesitation, he bit his index finger and dripped blood onto the two Qiankun Bags to recognize them as his. After infusing mystic energy into the Qiankun Bags, they immediately unlocked, and a large pile of items was revealed.

"These are materials from innate-level demonic beasts."

"This is the essence blood of innate-level demonic beasts."

"Indeed, there are spirit medicines and martial techniques, and there are quite a few mystic coins as well."

"That woman's Qiankun Bag has far fewer items, but the quality is much higher. This martial technique looks like it's at least at the 'Action Rank' level."

"……………………"

A pile of valuable items was laid out in front of Du Shaofu, causing a satisfied smile to appear on his face. The Qiankun Bag of Bai Bao Hunting Demon Team's leader, Lean Tiger, contained a lot of demonic beast materials and essence blood, as well as many spirit medicines and a set of innate-level martial techniques. It could be said that most of the wealth gathered by the entire Bai Bao Hunting Demon Team was in this Qiankun Bag.

The Qiankun Bag of the young woman in the tight-fitting clothes didn't have many items, but it did contain several sets of women's clothing and a lot of cosmetics. To Du Shaofu's surprise, there were also quite a few high-quality medicinal pills and a significant amount of mystic coins. In particular, there was a set of martial techniques that seemed to be at least at the Action Rank level.

A set of Action Rank-level martial techniques was already a terrifying value, and with the addition of the medicinal pills, the total value was likely much higher than the Qiankun Bag of Lean Tiger.

Seeing the satisfied smile on Du Shaofu's face, Zhen Qingchun couldn't help but sneer, "You can be so happy over a pile of trash, truly inexperienced."

"If you have the ability, show me something good." Du Shaofu glanced up at Zhen Qingchun and then happily organized the valuable items, putting them back into the Qiankun Bag.

"You..."

Zhen Qingchun was choked by Du Shaofu's words, feeling frustrated. He then suppressed his frustration and said to Du Shaofu, "Kid, I've already proven that I am a Spirit Sealer. I am definitely not a fraud. How about we make a deal?"

Du Shaofu looked up at Zhen Qingchun and asked, "You might be a Spirit Sealer, but the deal you want to make with me, does it involve my mystic energy? If so, I advise you to never even think about it. Whoever dares to touch my mystic energy, I will fight to the death with them."

"Uh……"

Zhen Qingchun was speechless again. He felt that he and this kid were not on the same wavelength. Taking a deep breath, he forced a smile and said, "Kid, don't be afraid. I don't need all of your mystic energy, just a little bit each time. It won't affect you at all. Once my spirit soul becomes a bit stronger, I can leave this small tower and find a way to recover on my own."

Du Shaofu rolled his eyes and sneered, continuing to organize his valuable items. He was thinking about how to exchange them for mystic coins.

"Kid, do you want to become stronger? I can make you strong, a renowned powerhouse in the world."

Zhen Qingchun persisted, trying to tempt Du Shaofu. He believed no one could resist such temptation. "Do you want to have money, beauty, status, and power?"

"If you had the ability, why are you in this state now? Do you think I would believe you?"

Du Shaofu finally finished organizing the two Qiankun Bags, stood up, and looked at the persistent Zhen Qingchun.

"This..."

Zhen Qingchun was almost choked to death by this one sentence, his face turning red with frustration. He wanted to go crazy and severely punish this ungrateful kid, but in his current state, he couldn't do anything.

"Kid, do you want to become a Spirit Sealer?"

After feeling frustrated, Zhen Qingchun once again tempted Du Shaofu with a topic he was sure would be appealing. He was certain that anyone who heard this would be moved. A Spirit Sealer was an absolutely coveted profession.

"Do you want to be exorcised with child's urine again!"

However, the result once again exceeded Zhen Qingchun's expectations. Du Shaofu didn't react much to the words "Spirit Sealer," and directly glared at Zhen Qingchun.

It wasn't that Du Shaofu didn't know the status of Spirit Sealers on the continent. On the contrary, he also wanted to become a Spirit Sealer. According to rumors, those terrifying Spirit Sealers were even more formidable than the strongest martial artists.

However, after discovering his broken martial vein, the Du family had someone investigate Du Shaofu's constitution. The result was that, besides his broken martial vein, he had no potential to become a Spirit Sealer.

So now, when Zhen Qingchun asked if he wanted to become a Spirit Sealer, Du Shaofu had no interest. Since he couldn't become a Spirit Sealer, and he was already practicing the cultivation method of the Golden-winged Great Peng, why should he think about becoming a Spirit Sealer?

"Kid, do you really not want to become a Spirit Sealer?"

Zhen Qingchun was frustrated again. He never thought that the kid would not care about becoming a Spirit Sealer. This was definitely not normal; the kid must be a bit slow.

"I've already been checked, and I have no potential to become a Spirit Sealer. Save your saliva."

Du Shaofu glanced at Zhen Qingchun, determined not to be swayed by his sweet talk. The other party's goal was clearly to get his mystic energy.

"Who said you can't become a Spirit Sealer? That bastard said it."

Zhen Qingchun burst out in a loud voice, extremely agitated. "The person who checked you must be a bastard."

Hearing this, Du Shaofu's eyes brightened. He looked at Zhen Qingchun and asked, "So, I have the potential to become a Spirit Sealer?"

"More than just potential." Zhen Qingchun raised his head, his eyes shining with a sharp light. He looked at Du Shaofu and asked, "Do you know what conditions are needed to become a Spirit Sealer?"

"Outstanding mental power and a spirit root." Du Shaofu answered. He had heard this as a child. Those who could become martial artists were already very few, and those who could become Spirit Sealers were one in ten thousand among martial artists.

"Correct. To become a Spirit Sealer, you need outstanding mental power and a spirit root. Both are essential. Your spirit root is poor, even worse than your current martial vein." Zhen Qingchun said bluntly.

"Then why do you say I can become a Spirit Sealer?" Du Shaofu raised an eyebrow.

"You know nothing." Zhen Qingchun glanced at Du Shaofu and said, "Your spirit root is poor, but you have mental power that far surpasses the average person. I can say that, at your age, you are one of the top three in mental power that I have ever seen. I really don't know where you get such strong mental power."

"I do have some outstanding qualities. Your eyesight is pretty good." Du Shaofu smiled, not feeling embarrassed at all. He then asked Zhen Qingchun, "What does this have to do with becoming a Spirit Sealer?"

Zhen Qingchun glanced at Du Shaofu and said, "Of course it has something to do with it, and it's a big deal. Mental power is a congenital advantage and is hard to improve, but a spirit root can be improved, even to a very strong level."

"From what I know, a spirit root can't be improved."

Du Shaofu wasn't stupid. He had heard that a Spirit Sealer's spirit root and a martial artist's martial vein couldn't be improved. Even if one encountered a great opportunity and consumed materials that could enhance a martial vein or spirit root, the improvement would be minimal.

"Others can't, but I can."

Looking at Du Shaofu, Zhen Qingchun's expression became serious. "As long as you listen to me and become my disciple, I can make you a Spirit Sealer."

"Become your disciple?"

Du Shaofu glanced at Zhen Qingchun and said, "Find another disciple. I'm not interested. I just want to be a martial artist. Greed leads to failure, and I don't have the energy for it."

Zhen Qingchun was stunned, speechless. Then he burst out at Du Shaofu, "Kid, do you know that if I had said I wanted to take a disciple back in my prime, countless Spirit Sealers would have bowed their heads and begged me to take them in?"

"I've heard that Spirit Sealers are divided into one-star, two-star, three-star, four-star, and five-star. My uncle once mentioned that he had seen a five-star Spirit Sealer a long time ago. What level are you?" Du Shaofu asked, raising an eyebrow.

"My identity is not convenient to reveal to you for now, to avoid distracting you from your cultivation and causing unnecessary trouble. I can tell you that a five-star Spirit Sealer, in my prime, was nothing but a fart." Zhen Qingchun said confidently.

Du Shaofu's lips twitched. A five-star Spirit Sealer was a renowned powerhouse in the empire, and even the emperor would personally welcome such a person. In Zhen Qingchun's eyes, it was just a fart. If this were to be known, he would likely be laughed at as a madman by countless people.

Du Shaofu didn't believe it. Looking at Zhen Qingchun's shabby face, which didn't look older than himself, he didn't seem like a world-class powerhouse.

"Kid, will you become my disciple or not?"

Zhen Qingchun looked at Du Shaofu, his eyes twitching. He never thought that one day he would have to beg someone to become his disciple. Has the value of Spirit Sealers really declined so much?

"No, I have some interest in Spirit Sealers, but I don't trust you." Du Shaofu directly refused.

"Why don't you trust me? I've already proven that I am a Spirit Sealer." Zhen Qingchun was about to collapse.

"Because you look too shabby. Appearance reflects the heart, and you look like a fraud." Du Shaofu said seriously.
