Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Body Collection!

"Martial Uncle Wang, please stop teasing me, I am truly terrified!" Jing Hongbo said nervously, his words laced with a bitter smile.

"I was only given this top-secret task on the night before departure. From the moment I received the task, I have been closely watched by Perfected Yu. For the past few days, I’ve been holed up in his portable cave mansion, and it wasn’t until just now that I once again saw the light of day."

"After Perfected Yu kicked me out, he immediately departed without instructing me in any way. To this day, I have no idea what happened!"

"You lucky one! We’ve been working to the point of exhaustion, while you were enjoying your time in the portable cave mansion!" Upon hearing his words, Wang Zijia said, somewhat going off on a tangent: "I’ve never seen what a portable cave mansion looks like, tell me about it."

Among the various tools used by monks, storage magic tools ranked as one of the most expensive items, and king among these was the kind that can store living beings. These were typically made into portable cave mansions, which were incredibly prestigious, albeit a bit expensive.

No!

They were extremely expensive!

"I didn’t dare loaf around. I’ve respectfully stayed in a cultivation room making a retreat, not even daring to step out," Jing Hongbo promptly replied.

The people around him started to interject, spurring the conversation. The mood became livelier as all the people present knew each other, so there was a good chance that no big shot Perfected would suddenly appear.

In this atmosphere, the magic-driven vehicle started to move again, heading toward the not-so-distant Tianhong Dynasty.

······

After understanding the situation for a moment in the control room, Wang Zijia got up and left again.

Shortly, Wang Zijia, Lei Junjie, and Nong Yufei arrived together at the warehouse on the lowest level of the magic-driven vehicle. At the moment, a distinct smell of blood filled one of the warehouses where a thousand devils faced vampire bat corpses were piled up.

The blood was still flowing. Amid the pervasive stench of blood, a scary aura of misfortune filled the warehouse, with a dense presence of pollution from the evil seeds.

"Martial Uncle, we have preliminarily confirmed that this batch of devils faced vampire bats is heavily polluted. They can no longer be regarded as demonic beasts, but are on the verge of turning into mad demons. It would be tough to extract many usable spiritual materials now," a disciple in charge of inventory, covered in blood, reported to the trio.

Lei Junjie frowned and sighed: "Ah, such a waste of so many spiritual materials!"

However, Nong Yufei was very calm, as if he had grown accustomed to this, saying: "It’s normal. Most of the demons and demonic beings from the outside world are like this, which is why the Law Enforcement Team generally doesn’t take the initiative to clear them out. It’s more trouble than it’s worth with very little profit."

"Forget it, activate the seal, for now. Let’s seal them up. Afterward, we’ll take them back to the sect, sell them to the Miscellaneous Courtyard, and let them use it to enrich the Flesh Field," Lei Junjie proposed, looking at the warehouse filled with corpses.

Had it not been for the fact that these demonic bats had the cultivation of middle to advanced pupils, he would have thought of just discarding them outright. After all, sending it to the Miscellaneous Courtyard as a fertilizer wouldn’t yield much value.

"Okay!" Nong Yufei nodded in agreement.

Wang Zijia, who had been staring intently at the corpses the entire time, finally spoke: "I’ll take them for three thousand magic money. I’ve been researching some flesh and blood spells recently and need a lot of materials."

Both Nong Yufei and Lei Junjie looked at Wang Zijia, with Lei Junjie saying: "Brother Wang, while I don’t mind you paying a high price, using polluted bloodline for bloodline research is a very dangerous thing. Don’t try to save some small amounts of money and end up bringing trouble upon yourself!"

"I know. I’m just doing some research, and haven’t planned to use it on myself yet. It’s just a preparation for comprehending the spells," Wang Zijia explained with a smile.

"I don’t have any problem with it. Selling it to the Miscellaneous Courtyard will probably not earn us more than this," Lei Junjie said frankly upon hearing this.

Wang Zijia then turned his gaze toward Nong Yufei, who simply uttered a single word: "Okay!"

With that, he left without lingering any longer.

Lei Junjie also gave Wang Zijia a salutation, saying: "Junior Brother, you’re free to do as you like. I still have much to do on my side."

With that, he turned around and left too.

"Martial Uncle, how should we deal with these things?" After the two left, the few disciples in the warehouse, looked at Wang Zijia, apprehensively asking.

They carefully chose their words, fearing that Wang Zijia would casually order them to clean up these contaminated corpses and extract their bloodlines.

Dealing with contaminated demonic corpses was extremely dangerous; even a slight mistake could cause their mana to be polluted, leaving them unclean and leading to permanent hidden dangers.

"No need, you all can leave. I will deal with these things myself," Wang Zijia replied.

The group felt like they had been pardoned and quickly vanished from Wang Zijia’s sight.

Wang Zijia then used his own authority to disable all surveillance in the warehouse. Still not entirely at ease, he pulled out a Concealment Array Plate and after it covered a large area around him, he summoned the Five Ghosts Talisman.

With his mind slightly stirred, the Five Ghosts Talisman emerged, and as the talisman detonated, five cute, chubby ghosts wearing red belly bands appeared. Unfortunately, they had no time to act cute just then, their eyes gleaming as they stared at the heap of demonic corpses in the warehouse.

Without Wang Zijia’s permission, they didn’t dare act recklessly and could only gaze at them greedily.

Wang Zijia checked the surroundings again, ensuring that there was no problem before he began extracting contamination from one of the demons.

"Value+34!"

Delighted, Wang Zijia immediately threw the corpse to the Five Ghosts and began working diligently.

"Value+91!"

"Value+104!"

"······"

Nearly two thousand demon-faced vampire bats, most of which were at the middle or high level of pupils. But because of different levels of contamination, they couldn’t be considered as Sinners, and they could only be classified as crazy beasts, just like when Wang Zijia first encountered the dog.

The difference between a contaminated creature and a Sinner, who had completely mutated, is like that between a living person and a zombie.

When a living person dies, they become a zombie. Even though they inhabit the same body, they are in fact completely different, with the latter being born from the former’s thorough death.

The same goes for polluted people and Sinners. Once you fully mutate, it’s not a matter of saving or not saving, but of completely dying.

Of course, there are exceptions for the evil and demonic cultivators who use special means to change into zombies. They aren’t ordinary. Similarly, demonic cultivators who use special means to transform themselves into Sinners, managing to keep some sanity, are also an exception.

These creatures were still marginally considered to live, just a bit crazy. That kind of madness you would associate with someone who is out of their right mind.

Except for those who like to show off!

"Cultivation +17943!"

Dao Cultivation: 100 years (135378/500000)

After half a day of extraction, dealing with over a hundred corpses, and approximately handling one-seventh of the total-
