Shi Yuan and Cui Zhimin are both at the peak of master level, standing at the pinnacle just below grandmaster level, and can be considered top experts in this Swordplay Tournament.

These two were slain by Qin Fang. Logically, the items they dropped should not be bad, and Qin Fang was quite looking forward to it.

Cui Zhimin's corpse was temporarily set aside, and Qin Fang went to pick up items dropped by Shi Yuan first.

In comparison, Qin Fang was more looking forward to what Cui Zhimin dropped, not only because Cui Zhimin was stronger, but also because he came from the Demon Sect, potentially dropping more items.

"Pick up..."

Facing Shi Yuan's corpse, Qin Fang chose to pick up, only feeling a flash of silver light, and three items appeared in Qin Fang's Props Box.

Dropping three items at once was quite good, and before even seeing what exactly dropped, just the quantity itself made Qin Fang quite satisfied.

"Uh... why would this item drop?"

But when Qin Fang carefully checked what exactly dropped, the first item made his expression quite peculiar.

"Raging Potion..."

This was the first item dropped by Shi Yuan, originally the Raging Potion Qin Fang fed Shi Yuan, leading to Shi Yuan's wound bursting and him dying.

However, back then Qin Fang used one bottle, and this time the system gifted Qin Fang a large present, turning one bottle into three, so Qin Fang actually profited...

But this kind of profit left Qin Fang at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Clearly, the reason Shi Yuan dropped a Raging Potion is definitely related to Qin Fang using a Raging Potion on him... as to why this happened, only the heavens know.

However, Qin Fang didn't care much, as these items, although rare, were not particularly cherished by him since the exchange system was opened. Whether it's Raging Potion or other items, they are just a matter of whether to exchange experience points or not.

Qin Fang then immediately looked at the second item dropped by Shi Yuan...

"More trash..."

However, the second item still slightly disappointed Qin Fang. It was a rare item called Dazzling Ruler, actually a ruler-shaped weapon, which seemed to be Shi Yuan Yilang's weapon. Unfortunately, he hadn't used it before being killed by Qin Fang.

The Dazzling Ruler is a weapon mainly used to reflect light during combat to stimulate and confuse opponents...

Honestly, it might be somewhat useful for sneak attacks, but once aware of the existence of such a Dazzling Ruler, most experts would be prepared in advance, making it less likely to succeed.

Qin Fang took the Dazzling Ruler in his hand for a look. The material used wasn't anything unusual, just embedded with some glass shard-like fragments that could reflect light, indeed revealing this effect under strong light.

This might be a decent weapon, considered precious among some grandmaster-level experts, but for Qin Fang, it was basically akin to trash.

Now that Qin Fang had the Flowing Shadow Sword in hand and still had a piece of Galaxy Divine Iron unused in his Props Box, his target was to gather all the materials to upgrade and transform the Flowing Shadow Sword into a true Divine Sword...

Qin Fang really didn't think much of Qimen weapons like the Dazzling Ruler. If it came to combat, Qin Fang was confident he could cut the Dazzling Ruler with the current Flowing Shadow Sword...

If the Flowing Shadow Sword were to be upgraded into one of the Ten Great Divine Weapons in the future, it would easily cut through metal, making it even more impossible to look up to such inferior weapons.

"Leave it aside for now..."

Although the Dazzling Ruler was a bit paltry, it might occasionally have a miraculous effect in sneak attacks. Qin Fang considered for a moment and decided to toss it into his Props Box, to deal with later.

The second item didn't satisfy Qin Fang, so he immediately checked the third item.

"Hmm, what is this..."

This time, Qin Fang's expression changed slightly because the third item was completely different from the previous two.

It was neither a common potion nor a weapon but a token.

"Taoist Divine Order!"

This token appeared quite ancient, seemingly existing for a very long time, likely with over a hundred years of history.

Yet this token wasn't very rusty and even vaguely carried a hint of warmth, as if it had been kept close by someone.

"The Taoist Divine Order token..."

Although Qin Fang had never seen this token before, he quickly realized where it came from — it was from the Dao Shen Sect, the top power in Japan's martial arts world.

"This can definitely be considered a good thing..."

Upon seeing this token and understanding some of its uses and origins, Qin Fang unceremoniously threw it into the Props Box; compared to the previous two items, this was much more reliable.

The Dao Shen Sect is very tightly organized and extremely secretive, known only to a select few; essentially, almost no one knows of its existence.

Yet, practically the entire Japan is under the control of this power, from the public government to the underground criminal organizations, and even various martial arts schools, including the major ninja schools.

This is precisely why Japan can maintain such a strong presence on this Earth, strengthening in various aspects.

Of course, that war decades ago certainly allowed the little devils to take advantage, but they also suffered extremely severe wounds from it.

That war was lost by the little devils, and the battle between the Dao Shen Sect and the Dragon Country Martial World also suffered heavy losses, which is why they have been keeping a low profile and staying quiet for all these years.

But now, this robustly structured organization seems to have recovered, and it appears they are planning some small moves.

The Taoist Divine Order is a special token of the Dao Shen Sect, which only some highly ranked disciples can possess. Shi Yuan Yilang's status is clearly not low, and with his strength already at the Master Level Peak, owning such a Taoist Divine Order is not surprising at all.

If certain radical right-wingers in Japan still harbor insidious motives, Qin Fang is quite aware that these people are actually supported by the Dao Shen Sect from behind the scenes.

Shi Yuan's identity is not simple, and he belongs to the radical faction. Combined with this Taoist Divine Order, Qin Fang vaguely speculated some insider information.

Although this is still not particularly clear intelligence, based on Qin Fang's personal speculation, it's eight to nine parts right...

At this point, Qin Fang has already sifted through the three items that Shi Yuan dropped, and the only evaluation Qin Fang could give was... "Indeed a pauper..."

There was no martial arts manuscript or Skill Book that Qin Fang expected, no recipes for special elixirs or potions, just these three items.

Aside from the Dao Shen Order that may have some use in the future, the other two are dispensable. If not for feeling wasteful, Qin Fang really intended to just throw them away.

"Cui Zhimin, you punk, you're at least part of the Demon Sect. Don't let me down..."

Shi Yuan, this old devil, was too poor. Qin Fang could only feel contempt, so he had to pin his hopes on Cui Zhimin, whose background is much stronger, and there's a much higher chance of something valuable.

"Only two items..."

But it seemed Qin Fang got excited a bit too early, as when he picked up the items Cui Zhimin dropped, he only heard two notification sounds, indicating that this stingy person only dropped two items.

"Two items are two items; let's hope they're not too disappointing..."

Qin Fang mumbled to himself while taking out the first item, silently hoping, then opened it to see...

"Finally, a good thing..."

Very quickly, Qin Fang's slightly tense expression eased a bit, and seeing this item brought a subtle smile to his face.

"Recipe: Demon Blood Pill..."

The first item Cui Zhimin dropped turned out to be the elixir recipe Qin Fang had been eagerly anticipating, and although the name Demon Blood Pill was a bit odd, as long as it's an elixir, it surely has its specific use.

"Demon Blood Pill, a specially refined rare elixir, capable of temporarily increasing the maximum Life Points..."

Qin Fang immediately started studying this elixir recipe carefully, closely examining the uses of this Demon Blood Pill. The information provided by the Scouting Skill about the Demon Blood Pill's uses almost instantly made Qin Fang's breathing become rapid...

This Demon Blood Pill is used to temporarily increase the maximum Life Points...

This might not be a very good thing for others, but for Qin Fang, this elixir recipe is something he wouldn't trade even for a Divine Artifact.

Qin Fang's strength is now becoming more powerful, and the enemies he faces are becoming stronger. At a Grandmaster Level, he has only just stepped into the realm of experts among Martial Arts Experts.

But this is measured by Dragon Country Martial Arts standards, which covers a relatively smaller range. In reality, many experts overseas, who haven't practiced martial arts, have levels not less than Levels 6, 7, 8...

The higher the level, the stronger the power, and the more significant the instant killing power is. Qin Fang's current total is barely more than 70 Life Points.

This includes his base Life Points, some items providing slightly increased defense, and increases to the Life Points cap brought by skills like Strong Body Technique and Tough Skin Technique; cobbling together just about this much.

Such Life Points might be essentially indestructible when facing ordinary people, but for these Martial World experts, and even those assassins, a mere 70-some Life Points really isn't enough!
