Cultivating Immortality Begins with Acting as a Girl Chapter 176

“What?!”

Gong Bo’s eyes widened, his expression as if he had seen a ghost.

What did he see?

A newcomer who had only joined the sect four months ago had actually reached the third level of Qi Refining?

What kind of joke was this!

If it were in a country with level four or five spiritual energy concentration, such a cultivation speed might only be considered generally excellent, but this was a country with level one spiritual energy concentration, one of the most sparsely concentrated spiritual energy regions in the entire cultivation world, a borderland where powerful sects disdained to develop.

In such a place, possessing such a cultivation speed was simply too preposterous!

This Princess Zhaoming…

There was a problem, definitely a big problem!

However, before Gong Bo could think carefully, the attack unleashed by Song Ling manipulating the “Qionghua Purple Jade Bracelet” had already reached him. He could only hastily summon his low-grade magical artifact—the Colorful Cloud Banner.

A small banner embroidered with colorful clouds flew out from the storage bag at Gong Bo’s waist, unfolding in the wind. Cloud patterns flowed on its surface, emitting a faint spiritual light, attempting to block the sky full of illusory purple Qionghua flowers.

However, in the next instant, Gong Bo’s expression changed drastically.

The power of these illusory purple Qionghua flowers far exceeded his imagination. In just a moment, the spiritual light of his “Colorful Cloud Banner” rapidly dimmed.

It was as if he was not facing a third-level Qi Refining cultivator, but a fifth-level Qi Refining cultivator whose spiritual power was far superior to his!

On the opposite side, Song Ling’s eyes flashed, and his spiritual power surged madly into the “Qionghua Purple Jade Bracelet.” The power of the illusory purple Qionghua flowers increased by another point, suppressing Gong Bo’s “Colorful Cloud Banner” to the extreme.

At the same time, he formed a hand seal with his right hand, and a golden sword qi radiating unparalleled sharpness condensed, then tore through the air, shooting towards Gong Bo!

Shattered Blade Slash!

Gong Bo was fully focused on resisting the “Qionghua Purple Jade Bracelet,” only having time to hastily condense a spiritual power shield for this attack.

But…

This shield was like paper in front of the Shattered Blade Slash, instantly shattering.

“No—”

In Gong Bo’s utterly terrified eyes, the sharp sword qi directly sliced across his neck, and a human head flew high…

The “Colorful Cloud Banner,” having lost its control, fell powerlessly to the ground. Song Ling stepped forward and picked it up, learning from the panel that he could extract 67.39 spiritual source.

“From this perspective, my ‘Qionghua Purple Jade Bracelet’ is indeed a top-grade item among low-grade magical artifacts. No wonder it can attack, defend, and even conceal aura…”

Song Ling pondered. At that time, the “Qionghua Purple Jade Bracelet” was measured to extract 78.61 spiritual source. Logically, the more spiritual source it contained, the stronger the magical artifact, so it was natural that it surpassed Gong Bo’s “Colorful Cloud Banner.”

“My master is truly generous to me.”

Without comparison, there is no difference. Song Ling silently thanked Bai Yafu.

“For cultivators, abundant means also mean diverse life-saving abilities. Although this ‘Colorful Cloud Banner’ cannot be used in front of people, it can save lives at critical moments. For example, if Gong Bo had carried one more magical artifact, it wouldn’t have been so easy for me to kill him tonight…”

“Anyway, there’s no hurry to consume spiritual source now, so it’s good to keep it for now. It won’t be too late to extract it when needed.”

Song Ling put away the Colorful Cloud Banner, then searched Gong Bo’s storage bag.

“What a pauper…”

Song Ling frowned slightly. Apart from some miscellaneous items, the only valuable things in Gong Bo’s storage bag were a dozen or so spirit stones. Let alone treasures like talismans, there wasn’t even a single pill.

“It seems that the ‘Solidification Charm’ he used to seal my house was also given to him by Xue Chenfeng, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to afford it.”

Even a small mosquito is meat. Song Ling extracted all of Gong Bo’s dozen or so spirit stones, obtaining 1.8 spiritual source. Finally, he turned his gaze to Gong Bo’s corpse.

“All spiritual items can extract spiritual source, so a cultivator’s corpse should also be able to, right?”

Thinking of it, Song Ling immediately placed his hand on Gong Bo’s corpse and summoned the panel to try extracting, but unfortunately…

The panel showed no reaction.

“It doesn’t work?”

Song Ling was a little surprised. Could it be that in the panel’s judgment, a cultivator’s corpse did not fall into the category of “spiritual items”?

He was not reconciled and changed the touch position, trying multiple times, but the result remained unchanged.

Although it was a pity, Song Ling had no choice but to give up.

“Now that Gong Bo is dead, his life token in the sect should have shattered. His death will soon be known, so I must quickly dispose of the body.”

Song Ling took off Gong Bo’s storage bag from his waist, then put his body and head into it.

Gong Bo probably never dreamed that the last thing his storage bag would hold would be himself.

Although storage bags are widely popularized in the cultivation world, their technical content is not low at all. If forcibly destroyed, it would cause a considerable commotion. Therefore, Song Ling had to go out to deal with it.

After a brief thought, Song Ling’s appearance changed, becoming that of his second senior sister, Ji Yuxi.

Ji Yuxi’s residence was not far from here, so even if he was seen going out, it would be reasonable.

Afterward, he also put the bodies of Jia Cheng and Qiao Wen into Gong Bo’s storage bag, and under the cover of night, quietly left his residence, heading towards a secluded area north of the bamboo forest.

The night was as dark as ink, the moon hidden and the stars concealed. Song Ling, in the appearance of Ji Yuxi, walked lightly along the mountain path. The surroundings were quiet, with only the occasional chirping of night birds and the rustling of bamboo leaves, adding a touch of life to the serene night.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Song Ling arrived at a cliff on the north side of the back mountain bamboo forest. He took out Gong Bo’s storage bag and threw it directly into the forest below.

Then, he turned and walked back.

Halfway back, Song Ling suddenly paused. He saw a somewhat familiar male figure walking towards him.

“Oh, Senior Sister Ji?” The man’s eyes lit up when he saw Song Ling, and he quickly approached. “It’s so late, why is Senior Sister Ji still outside?”

Song Ling’s heart tightened. He had seen this man once before, sticking to Ji Yuxi like a piece of gum. In his memory, Ji Yuxi seemed to have called him—

“Junior Brother Gao.”

Song Ling’s expression was calm, with a hint of impatience subtly showing between his brows. “I came out for a walk and some fresh air, do I need to report to you?”

He remembered that Ji Yuxi had treated this person with such an attitude back then.

“Uh, of course you don’t need to report to me, I just asked casually.” Junior Brother Gao, without suspicion, awkwardly scratched his head. “Actually, I’m also restless, so I came out for a walk. It’s been several days in a row. How about… I accompany Senior Sister Ji?”

“No need, I’m tired, I’m going back to rest. Junior Brother Gao, please make yourself at home.”

After speaking, Song Ling continued to walk forward on his own, leaving Junior Brother Gao with a bitter expression.
