After Chu Wuyao checked through the other items and put them all away, she turned her focus on the biggest gain of her adventure.
That's right, although these items were very valuable, they were actually not her biggest gain.
Rather, her biggest gain was the Sin Points she was able to obtain.
Thinking of this, Chu Wuyao brought up the previous system prompts, as well as the system panel.
[You've killed 56 Blood Slaves. Sin Points +224]
[You've killed a Quasi-Shackles Evil Cultivator. Sin Points +640]
[Name: Chu Wuyao]
[Cultivation: 3rd Level of Qi Accumulation(12/40)]
[Blood Demon Body: 5th Level(89/160) - Equivalent to the 5th Level of Qi Accumulation]
[Techniques: Original Desire Sutra(4/100)]
[Skills: Charm(20/300), Fog of Hallucination(41/600), Illusion Eyes(24/450), Heart Seal(10/1000), High-Speed Recovery(16/400), Blood Slave Creation(0/1000), Blood Burning(0/200), Blood Fire(0/300)]
[Sin Points: 865]
When Chu Wuyao saw the amount of Sin Points displayed at the bottom of the panel, she couldn't help but smile uncontrollably.
No matter how many times she had seen it over the past few days, she still couldn't believe that she was able to gain so many points, pretty much without being in danger.
She had no doubt that if she were to use all these Sin Points, her strength would increase dramatically.
Perhaps, even Li Ruoshi would no longer be a threat by then.
After she calmed down her fluctuating emotions, Chu Wuyao turned her focus to the three new entries on the [Skills] column.
These were the skills she had just obtained by reading through the Blood Slave Technique.
Although there were also some other skills, Chu Wuyao felt that they really weren't suitable for her and chose to not learn them.
After she picked up all the skills that she found useful, she ended up with these three.
[Blood Slave Creation: By draining the target's blood while they are still alive, you can transform them into Blood Slaves and control them.]
[The Blood Slave's strength after their transformation is dependent on their previous strength.]
[Mortal-Blood Slave's Strength: None]
[Cultivator-Blood Slave's Strength: 1st Level of Qi Accumulation]
(Note: As your proficiency increases, the strength of the Blood Slaves will also improve.]
[Blood Burning: By burning your blood, you can increase your strength for a short period of time. After the effect runs out, you will fall into a weak state.]
[Blood Fire: An extremely sinister flame that can attach to your enemy's blood, burning their body from the inside.]
As one would expect, all the skills that Chu Wuyao obtained were very evil.
After all, these three were the accompanying spells of a technique named Blood Slave Sutra.
Chu Wuyao would have found it be strange if they were actually righteous, holy skills.
An evil cultivator has to have the consciousness of an evil cultivator.
While Chu Wuyao was pleased with these skills, she didn't become too excited.
She knew that the power of skills was not only dependent on the skill itself and her proficiency with it, but also in her own cultivation.
With her current cultivation at the 3rd Level of Qi Accumulation, even if she practiced these skills to perfection, they still wouldn't increase her combat power very much.
They would only end up playing an accompanying role to her strongest strength: her body cultivation.
Looking at the [Cultivation] column that was lagging behind and glancing at her Sin Points, Chu Wuyao was tempted to spend some points to enhance it.
But then, she remembered something and brushed the black ring on her finger, taking out a glass bottle out of the space ring.
Carefully uncorking it, she moved her slender fingers inside and took out a white, beautiful pill.
The pill exuded a sweet fragrance, and Chu Wuyao had the illusion that there was a faint mist dancing around on its surface.
After she admired it for a bit, she didn't hesitate to open her mouth and throw the pill in.
The moment it entered her body, the Qi Pill traveled down to her abdomen, before resolving and turning into a cold energy.
Feeling this energy, Chu Wuyao's eyes closed and she hurriedly used the Original Desire Sutra, trying to guide this energy that was raging inside her body.
Slowly but surely, she controlled this energy, gently guiding it and storing it into her body.
Time passed by slowly, with Chu Wuyao frantically using the Original Desire Sutra, afraid that she would miss out on the Qi Pill's effect.
After a while, her eyes opened and she opened her mouth, exhaling a strange white mist that wandered around her body.
Feeling her state, she turned a little emotional.
"No wonder the protagonists in the cultivation novels are eating pills like candy."
"Compared to normal cultivation, taking pills is simply cheating!", Chu Wuyao thought when she felt that the Qi stored in her body had increased quite a lot.
To get a better representation of just how much this increase was, she opened the system panel and looked at the [Cultivation] column.
[Cultivation: 3rd Level of Qi Accumulation(22/40)]
She had already known, but when Chu Wuyao looked at it this change, she was stunned.
She had just taken a single Qi Pill and it was equivalent to her 10 days' hard cultivation.
One had to know that Chu Wuyao was practicing a top technique, the Original Desire Sutra, which was way more effective that the cultivation techniques that most casual cultivators practiced.
Moreover, she had noticed that she was actually quite talented.
Although she couldn't know how better she was than the average person, she could feel that her practice speed was extremely fast.
But even so, a Qi Pill had brought such changes to her.
If the effect remained the same, it would only take 3 more Qi Pills for Chu Wuyao to breakthrough the 4th Level of Qi Accumulation, reaching the Middle Stage of the Qi Accumulation Realm.
"This cultivation speed is as fast, if not faster, than practicing evil techniques, right?", she wondered, unable to calm down from the shock.
"It's no surprise that the righteous forces are able put up a fight against the evil forces."
"If their disciples are constantly consuming such pills, their strength is bound to improve rapidly."
What Chu Wuyao didn't know was that the average Qi Accumulation disciple of a righteous force would not be able to obtain even a single Qi Pill in their entire lives.
Li Zhengyu was a cultivator at the 9th Level of Qi Accumulation, who had become a servant of an inner disciple and joined a secret organization.
Despite all of these, he had only managed to obtain these ten bottles of Qi Pills.
Chu Wuyao, who didn't know their true value, stretched her fingers inside the glass bottle and took out one more Qi Pill, before throwing it into her mouth and eating it like candy.
Then, she started using the Original Desire Sutra to digest the pill's effect, fully enjoying the rapid increase in her cultivation.
