Eternal Life: I Can Sell Everything

Song Ciwan played the part of the patient predator, and in turn, received several more clouds of energy in succession.

[Death Qi from the death of a General Spirit Level Demon Spirit. One jin and three taels. Exchangeable.]

[Human desires. The pain, sorrow, and confusion of a demonized Qi Cultivation Great Perfection Cultivator. Three jin and six taels. Exchangeable.]

[Death Qi from the death of a demonized Qi Cultivation Great Perfection Cultivator. Four jin and nine taels. Exchangeable.]

The amount of Death Qi from Hong Xiao was exceptionally heavy. Perhaps it was because her death itself was a heavy one. What a pity it was just shy of five jin.

Song Ciwan didn’t quite understand the basis for the weight of Death Qi.

Why could the Death Qi from some people’s deaths be measured in jin, while others yielded only a few taels?

There were also living beings whose deaths produced Death Qi so faint it was barely measurable... For instance, back when Song Ciwan used to kill Lianfei, she would slaughter them in great swarms. The Death Qi would fly to her in a continuous stream, yet the grand total would still be less than two taels.

Of course, the reason for the faint Death Qi from the Lianfei Demon Beasts wasn’t hard to guess.

After all, these creatures were low Level and had weak Life Force, so naturally, their Death Qi would be weak—

’Wait a minute.’ It seemed Song Ciwan was beginning to understand the basis for the weight of Death Qi.

It was likely multifaceted. First, one had to consider the deceased’s Cultivation Level before death. The higher the Cultivation, the stronger the Life Force, and thus, the heavier the Death Qi should be.

But that was only one aspect. It also had to be related to the completeness of the deceased’s body—or rather, the abundance of energy in their body at the moment of death. The more energy their body contained, the heavier the Death Qi should be.

Before her death, aside from having her heart ripped out, Hong Xiao had consumed very little of her True Qi and physical stamina.

The reason she died was, on one hand, her failure to retrieve her heart in time, and on the other, she was clearly killed by the backlash from her Heart Demon.

Song Ciwan’s Void Illusion Demon Sword had merely acted as a catalyst at that moment.

If Hong Xiao’s heart had been free of demons, the Void Illusion Demon Sword would have been an empty strike, completely ineffective.

’But how could the Void Illusion Demon Sword possibly be useless? Who in this world is truly without a demon in their heart? Who would dare claim their heart is pure and without a single flaw?’

’Even I can’t guarantee that my own heart is free of demons.’

However, she had one advantage over many others: she had a Heart Demon Seed in her Sea of Consciousness.

This Heart Demon Seed grew stronger by absorbing demonic thoughts, and its absorption range included both the outside world and Song Ciwan herself.

It was both the support for her Void Illusion Demon Sword—shielding her from the backlash of an opponent’s demonic intent whenever she used the blade—and a stalwart defense for her own mind.

Ever since entering the Demon Realm, Song Ciwan had been constantly enduring the scouring and polluting presence of its demonic aura.

When she channeled the Dao of the Unstable State from her Sutra of Sitting and Forgetting, most of this pollution was shed. Inevitably, however, some would always "slip through the net," creeping in through the nooks and crannies to invade her.

At times like these, the Heart Demon Seed served as another of Song Ciwan’s barriers.

The Heart Demon Seed would absorb those demonic thoughts, turning them into its own nourishment.

Now, Song Ciwan discovered that her Heart Demon Seed seemed somewhat bloated, as if it could crack open, sprout, and enter the next stage of its life at any moment!

In her Sea of Consciousness, the Heart Sutra Fire flickered faintly, continuously refining the bloated Heart Demon Seed.

Song Ciwan felt a slight, swelling ache in her mind. She looked forward to the Heart Demon Seed sprouting, but it seemed... that sprouting wouldn’t be so easy.

’That’s right. For Hong Xiao and Lan Qin, the prefix the Heaven and Earth Scale used was "demonized Cultivator."’

’Who knows how long they were in the Demon Realm to have actually become demonized!’

’Thinking about it, if they hadn’t been unconsciously demonized, the two of them might not have fallen into mutual slaughter so easily.’

Song Ciwan finished cleaning up and checked all the spoils of war she had just stored in the Heaven and Earth Scale.

This mainly included Hong Xiao’s corpse, her personal Magical Artifact, and her Storage Pouch. The various clouds of energy weren’t worth looking at; those were generally exchanged for Cultivation Techniques, cultivation time, or lifespan, none of which were convenient to trade for right now.

Additionally, Song Ciwan also collected the Red Silk that Hong Xiao had dropped on the ground.

There were also the withered branches and fallen leaves on the ground. Aside from the bark... which Song Ciwan didn’t strip off... everything else... absolutely everything in the vicinity, Song Ciwan gathered it all into the Heaven and Earth Scale.

Lan Qin’s body had been burned to ashes, and Song Ciwan didn’t even let that handful of ash go.

Unfortunately, Lan Qin’s Storage Pouch had been burned up along with her. But that pile of ash... Song Ciwan placed Lan Qin’s ashes and Hong Xiao’s corpse on the Balance Plate together, deciding to try selling them off casually.

She checked her number of trades for the day and saw she still had a full ten remaining.

Selling the various clouds of energy was inconvenient, but selling physical objects was no problem.

So, while using the Great Derivation Birth Skill to cleanse her own aura, Song Ciwan operated the Heaven and Earth Scale and began to sell, sell, sell.

[You have sold the corpse of one demonized Qi Cultivation Great Perfection Cultivator and one handful of Demon Tribulation Ashes. You have obtained a special item: the Bright God Fire of the Samadhi True Fire.]

The next moment, something stirred in Song Ciwan’s Sea of Consciousness.

A new flame had appeared out of thin air next to the Heart Sutra Fire: the Bright God Fire!

The unexpected surprise left Song Ciwan feeling dazed for a moment. Unbeknownst to her, a black fungus gleaming with a faint light had drifted through the air. When Song Ciwan opened her eyes, she saw it floating right in front of her.

And the terror of this thing had previously left a very deep and vivid impression on Song Ciwan’s mind.

Startled, the Bright God Fire and Heart Sutra Fire in her Sea of Consciousness instantly surged forth, enveloping the black fungus in the blink of an eye.

An extremely sharp, strange cry rang out in the air. SPUT! SPUT! SPUT! Countless fine powders sprayed out from the black fungus in bursts.

Just as the dust was about to land on Song Ciwan, the slender flames wrapping the black fungus suddenly flared.

BOOM!

The flames exploded, setting the very air ablaze.

RUSTLE! RUSTLE! Various insect-like Demon Spirits instantly came scurrying out from the surrounding moss and leaves.

With flames on their backs, they fled for their lives.

But Song Ciwan had no intention of letting them go. She cast the Blazing Flame Technique, guiding the Heart Sutra Fire and the Bright God Fire to incinerate every Demon Spirit within her sight, group by group. Then she scoured the area, collecting all the moss, branches, and leaves.

In short, she followed one principle: wherever she passed, not even a blade of grass would be left behind.

The combination of the Heart Sutra Fire and the Bright God Fire was far more powerful than the sum of its parts. In the heart of the flames, the black fungus that had been ceaselessly spraying powder finally stopped.

Amidst constant, strange shrieks, the black fungus darted left and right but was ultimately burned to cinders by Song Ciwan’s incomplete Samadhi True Fire.

Song Ciwan collected all the ashes without exception. Then, with a display of Magic, her feet moved, and she once again charged toward the central tree trunk.

Carrying her spoils of war, she continued her climb toward the upper levels of the giant tree.

Hong Xiao and Lan Qin had wanted to find the Second Young Master. Wasn’t that Song Ciwan’s goal as well?
