Chapter 63

Although the storage bags of the Qi Condensation disciples were not large, with so many of them, plus those from the previous people, his body was suddenly filled to the brim.

Lin Haoming saw that Fayuan needed a long time to recover, so he decided to tidy up a bit, putting all these people's storage bags into a few of them. The empty storage bags were stacked and wrapped in a cloth bag.

Calculating that he had been in here for almost a whole day, the storage bags of these people already contained a considerable number of spirit stones. Just a rough estimate, there were over three hundred medium-grade spirit stones, including two high-grade spirit stones. Adding the low-grade spirit stones, the total number of spirit stones was about eighty thousand.

This was already a considerable amount. Lin Haoming had already discussed with Wang Chen that all the spirit stones would be given to him first to ensure he could exchange for three Foundation Establishment Pills, and then he would give one to Wang Chen.

Wang Chen had no objections. Given the current situation, he understood that getting one Foundation Establishment Pill was already lucky, so he wouldn't argue over it.

Lin Haoming saw that he could still handle things well, which made him a person of some character, so he no longer excluded him.

Of course, Lin Haoming was still in a very good mood. For him, spirit stones were not a big deal, as they would all be handed over in the end. However, the magical artifacts, talismans, and medicinal pills on these dozens of people could all be his.

In the storage bags of these dozens of people, there were three to four hundred magical artifacts, and the vast majority were medium-grade or higher. After all, low-grade magical artifacts were not very useful here unless they had some special functions.

Among them, there were nearly a hundred high-grade magical artifacts. The medicinal pills, although mostly for healing injuries, detoxifying, or restoring magical power, were all of the best quality. He even found twenty to thirty Spirit Recovery Pills. As for the various talismans, they were all kinds of things, and Lin Haoming himself couldn't even go through them all, but there were not a few low-grade top-quality talismans. Unfortunately, no talisman treasures were found.

Upon careful consideration, if there were really talisman treasures, they wouldn't have been so easily killed by Hu Xiangzhen. Moreover, the lowest-grade talisman treasures cost seven to eight thousand spirit stones, and anyone with such a value would definitely have a significant background. They would either disdain coming to such a place or be someone like Hu Xiangzhen. If such a person really existed, Hu Xiangzhen wouldn't dare to kill them easily.

Actually, the value of these items was probably not less than the eighty thousand spirit stones obtained, and all of this belonged to him!

After dealing with the gains, Lin Haoming found that Fayuan was still recovering from his injuries, while Wang Chen went to handle the seven or eight Earth Fire Demon Wolves.

Lin Haoming did not touch the seven or eight Earth Fire Demon Wolves, but Wang Chen knew that there were also many good things on the Earth Fire Demon Wolves. Since there was nothing else to do, he decided to handle them.

Lin Haoming did not interfere with him. Thinking of the Soul Calming Spell he had obtained earlier, he directly took out the jade slip and slapped it on his forehead.

The Soul Calming Spell was not difficult. Lin Haoming's first impression was that it indeed resembled the Buddhist scriptures he had seen on Earth. However, when Lin Haoming truly began to read it carefully, he suddenly felt that the merit bead seemed to resonate as he silently recited.

This resonant feeling was very peculiar. Lin Haoming could confirm that he had never felt such a sensation before.

Lin Haoming was also puzzled. When he stopped reciting, the merit bead immediately stopped resonating. As soon as he resumed, the resonance resumed immediately, as if there was an inexplicable connection between the Soul Calming Spell and the merit bead.

Lin Haoming tried to recite the Soul Calming Spell completely. After Lin Haoming finished reciting, something surprising happened.

The many already fragmented corpses now emitted white light from them.

Seeing this, Lin Haoming was overjoyed, knowing that he had successfully used the Soul Calming Spell on his first try. He immediately continued to recite it non-stop.

As Lin Haoming continued to recite the Soul Calming Spell, the residual souls behaved just like when Fayuan had used the Soul Calming Spell. When they returned to the cycle of rebirth, countless white light points representing merit gathered toward Lin Haoming.

Lin Haoming felt an unprecedented surge of merit directly impacting him. When his divine sense sank into the merit bead, he discovered that in just this short time, he had gained fifty small merits, plus the three from before, making a total of fifty-three small merits.

Fifty-three small merits—this was something Lin Haoming had never dared to imagine before. He felt more excited than when he had obtained so much wealth. After all, with so much merit, he could already unseal the fifth layer of the Spirit Gathering Pearl and the third layer of the Demon Gathering Pearl.

Lin Haoming himself had not expected to easily earn so much merit. At this moment, he realized how great the opportunity he had obtained from Fayuan was. A rough calculation showed that he could exchange one complete small merit for each deceased cultivator he helped.

Without hesitation, Lin Haoming first unsealed the third layer of the Demon Gathering Pearl.

At the moment of unsealing, Lin Haoming found that the merit bead gave him another message: he only needed to spend nine small merits to unseal the first layer of the third merit bead.

Faced with this choice, Lin Haoming did not act immediately. After all, the last time he unsealed the second bead, if he hadn't later obtained the "Divine Bone Technique," the Demon Gathering Pearl would have been almost useless to him. Now, betting on a bead whose function he did not know, Lin Haoming did not dare to make a decision lightly.

Unsealing the fifth layer of the Spirit Gathering Pearl required twenty-seven small merits, and the fourth layer of the Demon Gathering Pearl also required the same. Both were things Lin Haoming needed, and together they required fifty-four small merits. He still had forty-four, so he thought he could gather the ten more needed in the Mad Cave, but if he unsealed the third merit bead, he would be short by nineteen, which would be more difficult to gather, especially since Fayuan would not just watch him absorb merit after his injuries recovered somewhat.

Lin Haoming suddenly found himself in a dilemma.

After careful consideration, unsealing the fifth layer of the Spirit Gathering Pearl was very important because it would be equivalent to having a high-grade spirit stone that could absorb endlessly. Unsealing the fourth layer of the Demon Gathering Pearl would only increase its capacity, which could be slightly postponed.

With these thoughts, Lin Haoming first unsealed the fifth layer of the Spirit Gathering Pearl. After unsealing, he indeed found that unsealing the sixth layer required a complete large merit, meaning he needed to gather eighty-one small merits to unseal the sixth layer of the Spirit Gathering Pearl.

Although the required merit was a lot, Lin Haoming had expected it. Facing the remaining merit, he resolutely decided to unseal the third merit bead.
