The Six Immortals Chapter 11

Inventory Rewards Once he was away from the woods, he could not wait to check the contents of the yin yang pouch, but first he needed to find a safe and secret spot. He had two yin yang bags; he couldn’t tell which one would be more rewarding so he just took one out randomly. Since the previous owner was dead, refining the yin yang pouch went very smoothly. After refining, Bi Fan started looking for items inside the yin yang bag. The yin yang bag didn’t have a lot of s.p.a.ce, only two cubic meters in volume, inside it were a few magical tools, more than ten porcelain bottles, three books, several Panacea and some refining materials. Apart from the Panacea, Bi Fan couldn’t distinguish good from bad items. So Bi Fan decided to start with the books, he picked them up, one was about the origination of the Tian Yu world, the second was about identifying Panacea and refining Dan (pellets, refined from various herbs, created to grant physical benefits) and the third recorded the arts of double-edged sword usage. The yin yang pouch also contained some gold and silver, debris, and food. But none of this attracted Bi Fan’s attention. Bi Fan looked at these books and guessed that they might be the core of knowledge of the Quinyang door(sect or school) disciples. Bi Fan opened the book that spoke about identifying Panacea and refining Dan, and he started reading it very carefully. Bi Fan’s memory had never been very efficient, he simply couldn’t remember the interdependence of Panacea to create Dan, and it had taken him a long time and several readings of the same book to memorize things. But now, Bi Fan found it a lot easier to remember things, in fact surprisingly, he never forgot what he read. It contained information about refining Dan for ‘fetus’ jie and ’emerging from the womb jie’. It contained information about how one could use magical instruments to help refine Dan for the use of these two jies. The information was very, very detailed. Bi Fan also kept an eye out for stranger as he continued to read the book for almost three hours, once he felt that he could identify the Panacea and instruments, he stood up. Although he wanted to look again, he felt as if the contents of the book had been printed onto his brain. Bi Fan extracted those porcelains and began identifying them to check his knowledge.  He open a vase, as he sniffed it, a light fragrance came out. Then he poured out a small amount and started examining it carefully. “Solid Fu Dan (Dan for internal organs)!” said Bi Fan in amazement. Solid Fu Dan could be used by pract.i.tioners at the ‘inner breath’ stage, it could be used the peak at the peak of ‘inner breath’ to breakthrough to ‘inner organs’ stage.  Bi Fan counted, a full thirteen dosages of the Solid Fu Dan, he was surprised at its quant.i.ty. He put the Solid Fu Dan inside the Tianyuan ring. He opened another vase and started identifying it; it was a Dan pertaining to the ‘spiritual intelligence’ layer, but contained only six dosages. This Dan was custom made for the ‘spiritual intelligence’ layer and could be used by pract.i.tioners at the peak of the seventh layer to breakthrough to the ‘enormous strength’ layer. Bi Fan was extremely excited and quickly finished identifying all the Dan. He now had a variety of pellets in his possession, ‘inner breath’ Dan, ‘inner organs’ Dan, ‘Spiritual intelligence’ Dan, nine types of ‘transformation’ Dan, healing Dan, Dan to bathe essence, and Dan to change his bone structure. These Dan(or refined pellets) could be used to great effect, healing all kinds of injuries, and rising through various layers, but only at the right time. From ‘inner breath’ to ‘inner organs’, ‘inner organs’ to ‘brave’, ‘brave’ to ‘spiritual intelligence’ and so on, in addition, the nine types of transformations Dan could be very useful, plus, he also had Dan that could be used to increase bone strength and Dan to bathe essence. The healing Dan, Bathing essence Dan, Bone Dan were Dan dedicated to the ‘rising from the womb’ Jie and were extremely valuable. Just finding these three valuable Dans had left Bi Fan very excited. With the Dans now incorporated into the Tianyuan ring, Bi Fan started taking out the instruments and tried to identify them. There were five instruments inside the Yin Yang pouch but only one was magical. The magical instrument was a bell shaped object and was name Devil’s bell. Devil’s bell, once swayed, issued a sound that could be used to confuse the enemy’s mind. This bell however, was somewhat in despair, and temporarily unavailable for use. It still hadn’t come to terms with its master’s demise. He incorporated all the items of the Yin Yang pouch into the Tianyuan ring and started refining the other Yin Yang pouch. This Yin Yang pouch contained many instruments, nine of them to be exact. Even though none of them were magical in nature, they were still very valuable. These were some of the instruments that all core pract.i.tioners must have. There were several Dan for helping pract.i.tioners grow from one layer to another, the highest Dan available here, was also bone Dan. There were three books here as well, one talked about the origination of world, the second taught ‘dance of mist’, and the third taught the basics of ‘free burst technique’. The Dance of mist and free burst were techniques of bygone eras and were extremely powerful, almost like a wonderland for pract.i.tioners, very precious, and not somethings that pract.i.tioners just accidentally stumbled upon. They were almost like rumors, very secretive. If the strong swordsmen in Quinyang door found about the treasures that Bi Fan had acquired, they would try to take them from him, by the force of their blades and Bi Fan would die a very unnecessary and cheap death. Of course, no one would come to know, he transferred the item from the Yin Yang pouch into the Tianyuan ring. As he was extracting the refining material from the pile, he even found a bronze token; it was as big as a fist and carried the inscription of ‘mist’ word, in a great artistic manner. Bi Fan looked at the other objects and threw them inside the Tianyuan ring. Finally, Bi Fan took out the two swords, and started differentiating them. The double-edged sword turned out to be a low-grade light-ray double-edged sword whereas the machete, unexpectedly, was a magical weapon. The owner of the light-ray double-edged sword was definitely a disciple of the Quinyang door, so Bi Fan couldn’t use the weapon for the fear of being questioned about his acquisition of the weapon. However, he wasn’t sure about the ident.i.ty of the machete’s owner; still he would have to careful while using it. Moreover, at Bi Fan’s current strength rating, using a magic weapon would be a complete waste; he didn’t have enough strength to operate them properly. Bi Fan had obtained fourteen different tools, which were suitable for his current position. They were mostly considered common and ordinary and he could use them without turning any heads. Bi Fan chose the light-ray sword to defend himself, and some silver colored armored clothing to wear. The silver colored armor was far too beautiful, so he wore it on the inside and put the light-ray sword inside the Yin Yang pouch so he could readily use it against enemies. Magical tools did not need much refining; one could offer a sacrifice(usually, the blood of the person, who wishes to use them) to refine and use them. After going through the contents of the inventory, Bi Fan was in a good mood and continued to walk down the mountain road. As the curtains of the night descended, Bi Fan decided to hurry up and reach the town as he did not want to spend the night in the wilderness. Quinyang town is the area of the mountain where all the trading form the outside world happens, materials were consistently being transported around, and it was a very busy scene. Quinyang town had thirteen large and small inns for travelling exchange peddlers to stay the night in. Bi Fan casually went looking for an Inn and picked one out, rented a room and went straight to the dining hall. At this time, it was the peak dining hour, the hall didn’t even have any empty tables. Bi Fan could go somewhere else to have dinner, but it would be too time consuming. As glanced around, he found one small table which was occupied by only one young man, so went over. “h.e.l.lo brother, can join you?” Bi Fan asked him courteously. The young appeared to be only fifteen or sixteen, but look very cultured and sat in a very elegant manner. Bi Fan carefully glanced at the young man in order to determine his strength, even though he couldn’t pin point, he certainly knew that the young man was fairly strong. “Please!” the man complied, showing no sign of bother. Bi Fan didn’t care, he only needed a place to sit and eat his food. Anyway, he had a lot of things he needed to look at later.
