I Accumulate Spirit Roots for My Next Life - Chapter 50: Settling Karma

Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Settling Karma

“Spare us, Senior, spare us!” Cold shivers ran down the spines of the seven.

“What use is it to keep you?” One bandit sneered coldly, as a sharp icicle formed in his hand and with a wave, it pierced through the chests of the three in front in an instant.

The three fell dead!

“Ah! Run!” As the three died instantly, the four left were terrified, and one, unable to withstand the pressure, got up to flee.

However, how could a minor cultivator in Qi Cultivation run past the opponent’s spell?

He had barely taken ten steps before being reduced to char by a fireball.

“Senior, spare me. I have important information of absolute use to you!” The three remaining minor cultivators were completely lost, and one quickly spoke as he suddenly remembered something.

“Important information?”

“Yes, yes, Senior, this information will bring you immense benefits!”

“Oh? Then let’s hear it. If it truly is as you say, sparing your life isn’t impossible.” The bandit looked teasingly at the attendant.

“Thank you, Senior, thank you, Senior!”

The frightened attendant quickly thanked him and suddenly turned to look at Li Jizhou.

Li Jizhou, who had been standing behind everyone and trying to minimize his presence, suddenly became the center of attention.

He frowned slightly, looking pitifully at the attendant.

Earlier, he had been waiting for the Soul-Devouring Incense infused talisman to take effect amid the chaos.

After all, they were three Late Stage of Qi Cultivation cultivators, and if their Divine Sense was intact, they could easily detect Gua Gua’s presence.

Now, the Soul-Devouring Incense had silently infiltrated their Sea of Consciousness.

And just a moment ago, Gua Gua had been released by Li Jizhou.

Currently, it was dispersing Spirit-Transforming Powder underground…

“Why are you looking at him? Does he have something special?” The bandit looked at the minor cultivator in confusion.

“Senior, I also heard, let me tell you, spare me and I’ll tell you, he’s our Honored Guest Elder at the Ten Thousand Talisman Pavilion! He’s a Talisman Master!” Another attendant reacted when he saw Li Jizhou, urgently telling the bandit.

“I’ll also say, he can now create Tier One Mid-level Talisman, and he has a good relationship with Shopkeeper Lu,” the last attendant quickly added, unwilling to be outdone.

“Honored Guest Elder? Tier One Mid-level Talisman Master?” The bandit chuckled.

“That’s such worthless information!” He then shouted at the three.

“Senior!” Suddenly, the first attendant knelt before the bandit.

“Senior, what I said is truly valuable to you.”

“Speak!”

“Senior, he’s a Talisman Master, he can make talismans. If you imprison him and force him to make talismans day and night, you’ll never run out of talismans.

Moreover, by threatening his life, you can force him to refine his talisman skills, and given time, he might even become a Tier Two Talisman Master.

Oh, and the Shopkeeper often says his talent in talisman crafting is amazing, with a promising future…”

The three bandits were shocked at such words.

Raising artisans and squeezing out their skills, it seemed indeed a good idea!

This opened up the three bandits’ minds.

“Good, good, good, any more?” The bandit said with excitement.

“Senior, I’ve said everything, I beg you to spare me!”

“Oh, then it’s no longer of value, why keep you around?” The bandit sneered, as a fireball rose gently in his hand.

“Senior, you can’t break your promise.” The attendant fell limp on the ground, timidly wriggling backward on his bottom.

“Promise? Ha~”

“No, wait!” At that moment, one of the bandits suddenly cried out in alarm.

“What’s happening?”

“Quick, check your Spiritual Sense, why do I feel like it’s being confined.”

“Hiss~ Me too, what’s going on?”

“My magical power is rapidly draining!” The bandit who had just performed a Fireball Skill watched helplessly as the fireball in his hand shrank and then vanished, leaving only a wisp of smoke.

“Which scoundrel is playing tricks?” The three bandits were terrified, retreating together, and looked warily at the few people in front of them.

Not wanting to delay, Li Jizhou immediately stood up, firing three Tier One Advanced Golden Saber Talismans!

“Boom, boom, boom!”

In an instant, an explosive sound erupted. The three Golden Saber Talismans hit the three bandits simultaneously.

Spirit-Transforming Powder could paralyze a minor cultivator instantly, a Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation one could last three breaths, but the three had inhaled for over ten breaths.

Adding that the three were already the weaker combatants of the squad as newly advanced Late Stage cultivators, with their Divine Soul being first confined by the Soul-Devouring Incense, their magical power at this moment was almost useless.

The Tier One Advanced Golden Saber Talisman broke their protective shields in one strike.

“Gua~” At the sound of a frog’s croak, Gua Gua, a massive spirit beast with a jade body, emerged from the ground behind the three and shot its tongue like a spear at one bandit.

“Puff~” Gua Gua’s normally soft and slippery tongue turned into a sharp spike, piercing through in an instant.

The Late Stage of Qi Cultivation bandit turned his head with difficulty, seeing the frog behind him, his face was filled with terror and regret!

Without the protective shield, the flesh of a Late Stage Qi Cultivation cultivator was no more than mortal. Gua Gua, a Tier One Mid Stage Spirit Beast, easily comparable to a Middle Stage Qi Cultivation cultivator, executed the kill with basic prowess.

Similarly, Li Jizhou expended two more Mid-level Blood Dart Talismans, taking the other two out.

“Hiss~”

In a flash, the lofty Late Stage of Qi Cultivation bandits were dead.

This scene left the remaining three minor cultivator attendants gasping in shock.

They even wondered if it was an illusion!

“Li Dao… Honored Guest Elder, thank you… You saved us, we will…” The attendant who had encouraged the bandits to raise him regained clarity first, urgently thanked Li Jizhou with tears streaming.

“Puff~”

Li Jizhou ignored him and casually flicked the short sword formed by the Eternal Spring Magical Power, slashing a throat.

Then quickly conjured a fireball.

A thread of cause and effect in the world was severed.

Everyone was satisfied.

“Spare us, Honored Guest Elder, we are also… were also forced…” The other two terrified attendants were now limp, even pleading weakly.

When Li Jizhou had suddenly attacked, the Spirit-Transforming Powder was no longer cautiously emitted as before, instead, it exploded into a wide area, causing the three to collapse instantly.

Likewise, Li Jizhou treated them with parity,

Sending both, along with their remains, away instantly.

Once again resolving two threads of cause and effect, he gained immeasurable merit.

To prevent any bandit from returning, Li Jizhou quickly ransacked their storage bags, turning the place into a sea of flames with a Flame Talisman, and then, without turning back, affixed a Rapid Movement Talisman to speed towards the east.

Racing through the night,

The following day, with the rising sun, a boundary marker came into view.

Rays of red clouds filled the sky, golden light blanketed the earth, offering infinite possibilities.

Just as Li Jizhou felt at this moment, shining brilliantly!

Thoroughly leaving the territory of Inverted Mountain!

“Brother!”

Hardly a hundred steps past the boundary marker, an extremely weak yet incredibly familiar voice echoed in Li Jizhou’s Sea of Consciousness.

It was Lu Zhenhua!

“Brother Lu?” Li Jizhou responded with his Spiritual Sense.

Soon, not far away in a ditch, Lu Zhenhua removed the near-expired Concealment Talisman, struggling to extend a hand.

“Brother Lu, what brings you to such a state?”
