Chapter 43 News about the Storage Bag
Qin Yeling, who was born in Jin Guang, is an old immortal cultivation family located in Zhongzhou of Yue State.

The ancestors of the Qin Yeling family all came from the Huangfeng Valley, one of the seven major immortal cultivation sects in the Yue Kingdom. There are several cultivators in the late foundation building stage, so it is relatively powerful.

Originally, this family was jointly established by the ancestors of the Qin family and the Ye family, but the Ye family has become stronger since then. By the generation of Qin Jingguang, he was the only one left in the Qin family, but he had very poor aptitude and low strength.

The people of the Ye family coveted the several treasures left by the Qin family, so they set their sights on Qin Jingguang, who had a low level of cultivation.

Fortunately, he realized something was wrong in advance, and hurriedly took out a few talismans from the Qin family's ancestral forbidden barrier and escaped from Qinye Ridge. Then he kept running south until he reached the barbarian territory of Yunzhou, where he found a place called Jinguang Temple to settle down and hide.

Due to the lack of resources for cultivation and Qin Jingguang's own poor aptitude, he basically bid farewell to cultivation from then on, changed his name to Master Jin Guang, and often mingled in the secular world.

The powerful little sword talisman used by Jin Guang was one of the treasures passed down by the Qin family's ancestors.

The so-called talisman is actually made by sealing a part of the power separated from the magic weapon in a talisman.

It is rare for low-level cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation to obtain real magic weapons. Magical instruments are often used in the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages. Generally, only cultivators above the Golden Core stage can skillfully control magic weapons, so only cultivators above the Golden Core stage have the ability to create talismans.

The beauty of talismans lies in the fact that there is no restriction on the level of cultivation. As long as one can input mana, the talisman can be activated. Therefore, talismans are usually the trump cards of low-level cultivators and are rarely circulated among cultivators.

The small sword talisman of Master Jin Guang was actually differentiated from the innate magic weapon of a Jindan-stage ancestor of the Qin family.

In addition to this powerful small sword talisman, the middle-grade Vajra Talisman can withstand a blow from the Foundation Establishment Stage and is also quite precious among cultivators at the Qi Refining Stage.

Therefore, these two talismans were kept by Jin Guang, but they were rarely used because their power would be reduced after each use. Until the energy in the talismans was exhausted, they would be of no use anymore.

Now that the two most valuable talismans on Jin Guang's body were taken away by Mo Juren, he had no means to resist.

The big package that was carried out from Jinsha City was opened with golden light for Mo Juren to see. It was just some worldly money such as gold and silver that he had collected on a daily basis.

Looking at the package that was larger than Jin Guang's small body, Mo Juren was somewhat puzzled.
"Didn't you take a lot of good stuff with you when you escaped from Qinye Ridge? Why are you so poor now? Do you have a storage bag?"

According to Yu Zitong, the storage bag is a magical tool commonly used by cultivators. It contains a huge space and can be used to carry a large amount of supplies, which can be taken out at any time and is very convenient.

Upon hearing this, Master Jin Guang scratched his head and said,
"It turns out that I had a mid-level storage bag. When I was in the barbarian territory, I was addicted to gambling. One time, I lost a lot of money and pawned this treasure in exchange for gold, hehe..."

Mo Juren was shocked and said,

"What kind of casino can be so difficult for a cultivator like you to stay in? How dare you accept cultivation items as pawn?"

Jin Guang replied embarrassedly,

"That place is called Maoxiang Valley. There is a powerful monk backing it. It combines a brothel, a casino, a restaurant, and a market. It is a well-known den of money in the barbarian world. It specializes in cheating people like us who are in trouble. Hehe, otherwise why would I spend all my money every time I go there."

Mo Juren glanced at Jin Guang and found that he was a man of eating, drinking, gambling and whoring. No wonder a decadent person like Jin Guang could enjoy it so much.

This Jin Guang was probably a frequent visitor here before, so he had almost all the valuables on him. Apart from the small sword talisman and the middle-grade diamond talisman that Mo Juren had put away, the only things left on Master Jin Guang were a Qin family genealogy and a black iron plate with strange words.

According to him, the iron plate was Qin Yeling's identity card, so Mo Juren threw it back to him along with the family tree.

It’s just a pity about the storage bag. If I could get one, I could put all my luggage in it and use the wind control technique to travel quickly at any time.

Instead of riding a horse slowly like we do now, being slowed down by the heavy objects.

According to Jin Guang, storage bags are standard equipment for sect disciples and family disciples, and are made by specialized refiners.

But storage bags are still very valuable among casual cultivators. Even if they are occasionally seen in the market, they will be quickly bought up. Using spirit stones as the price, a mid-level storage bag will cost thirty to fifty pieces, which is considered very expensive.

Spirit stone is a kind of gem that contains spiritual energy. It can be used in cultivation and provide spiritual energy to cultivators. It is the most commonly used hard-needed commodity in cultivation. It can also be used as currency for transactions between cultivators, which is equivalent to gold and silver for mortals.

Some people also use spirit stones to exchange for gold. The official market price is that one spirit stone can be exchanged for ten taels. However, it is always easy to exchange spirit stones for gold, but it is difficult to use gold to buy spirit stones.

Mo Juren had taken out four or five spirit stones from Yu Zitong before, but he had used them all on the soul-calming formation. As an immortal cultivator, he was now "penniless" and extremely poor.

If I have to slowly earn spirit stones and then try my luck at purchasing in the market, I don’t know when I will have a storage bag.

So he asked without giving up,
"Did you pawn your storage bag alive or dead? How much silver did you get? When will it expire?"

"Replying to Master Tie, it was a pawn for three hundred taels of gold. Hehe, it's not overdue yet, but it requires five hundred taels of gold to redeem it."

Jin Guang patted the package behind the horse and said with a flattering smile,

"After losing the Wild Wolf Gang's business, I spent all my money and could only scrape together 50 or 60 taels of gold. I'm really short of money, otherwise I could redeem it and present it to Master Tie."

Ever since he acknowledged Mo Juren as his master, Master Jin Guang took off all the ostentatious gold ornaments on his body, leaving only a ring on his hand.

Mo Juren made an estimate and concluded that with Jin Guang's wealth, plus the three or four hundred taels he had on him, and if he could find a little more, it would be enough to redeem the storage bag.

So Mo Juren made the decision and said,

"That's easy to do. It's on the way to that direction. We can go to the Thatched Fragrance Valley and take a look at the situation."

The barbarian territory is quite famous in Yue State. It is located at the junction of Yue State, Fengdu State and Zijin State, and is a no-man's land.

Therefore, it attracted many desperate criminals, all kinds of people, and it was a well-known lawless place. Mo Juren had heard of its name for a long time, but had never actually been there.

The "corpse worm pill" that Mo Juren obtained in Lanzhou that year was sold by a man who claimed that he was from the barbarian territory. This person was closely related to the conspiracy against him, so it was a good opportunity for him to go there and get some information.
