Chapter 31: Chapter 31 — A Fortune Beyond Measure

Fang Han did not expect that the Nine-Aperture Golden Pill would also possess the power to dispel demonic poison.

After Princess Hongyi drank his blood, she regained consciousness.

Truly worthy of a supreme pill refined by the Yellow Springs Emperor…

The others — should he save them or not?

As he collected the fallen flying swords, Fang Han pondered the question.

According to The Worlds, the Nine-Aperture Golden Pill was an unrivaled elixir of the Yellow Springs Sect. It not only strengthened the physical body but also resisted many demonic techniques.
It stood on equal footing with the Yuhua Sect’s Yin-Yang Longevity Pill.

The earth-shattering battle had ended with Fang Han’s Heavenly Wolf Seven Fiends Smoke devouring Crimson Prince’s head.

That demonic artifact was a true treasure. Even a single strand was more than enough to destroy the spirit armor of Crimson Prince — especially while the latter was gravely wounded and unable to respond.

A perfect, fatal strike.

Scattered across the desert lay seven flying swords.

Each of them was worth an entire city.

Not metaphorically.

Literally.

Princess Hongyi’s gaze lingered on them, unable to hide her excitement.

Crimson Prince’s Crimson Desire Sword,
Yuan Jiankong’s Silver Serpent Sword,
Senior Sister Mo’s True Azure Sword,
and the four swords of the remaining inner disciples.

Fang Han immediately seized the Silver Serpent Sword.

It was the finest among them — the strongest spirit, the densest power.

The blade was pure silver, sinuous like a living serpent, writhing in his grip.

“That sword has quite a history,”
Princess Hongyi said.

“Yuan Jiankong once discovered a silver serpent in a remote valley fighting Yuhua’s spirit cranes. The serpent killed over a hundred cranes before he captured it. Elders later refined it with the Five Metals. They said if the serpent had matured a little longer, it could have ascended into the Divine Ability Realm and become a true treasure.”

“A hundred spirit cranes…”
Fang Han inhaled sharply.

Yuhua’s spirit cranes could carry tigers, bears, and rhinoceroses.
That serpent was terrifying.

“This sword is famous in the sect. Even if you keep it, they’ll eventually demand it back.”

“Fortune favors the bold. What we do not reveal, they cannot take.”

He handed the swords to her.

She selected True Azure Sword.

“These swords are unusable for now. We must cleanse the Yin poison and then have a Divine Ability cultivator erase their former blood imprints… Fang Han, how did you cleanse your Spirit Wind Sword? Did Senior Sister Fang Qingxue help you?”

“More or less.”

He would never reveal the secret of the Toad Subduing the Yellow Springs Diagram.

Princess Hongyi thanked him again for saving her life, then asked him to have Fang Qingxue refine her sword.

Together they stripped Crimson Prince’s armor.

The Blood Cotton Demon Robe — a priceless treasure.

“His corpse alone is worth a Yin-Yang Longevity Pill,”
Fang Han said.

“But we can’t turn it in yet,”
Princess Hongyi replied. “We’d lose the swords first.”

Then she gasped.

“And the greatest prize of all — the Heavenly Rooster Pure-Yang Rope… Still binding the ten Flying Yakshas.”

Fang Han’s gaze lifted.

Ten demonic generals lay bound in the sand.

An entire fortune waited before them.
