Chapter 95 -0095: Resentment Washing Platform
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, everyone had to go back to work. Here’s wishing everyone a successful year, with smooth work progress, promotions, and raises. Don’t forget to vote for the cavalryman, who also needs a breath of fresh air in the new year. This can’t be done without everyone’s strong support.

Qi Tian hurriedly instructed the Heavenly Dao Engine to stop spitting out the Spirit Beast Bracelets, waiting for a more suitable time to continue.
Just then, the black market started selling its next item, unexpectedly a human, a woman at that. She was a concubine of a certain family’s heir, snatched away during an outing and brought to the black market for sale. Her constitution was exceptional, and although her purity was lost, she remained an excellent candidate for a human cauldron.
As a result, the competition for this woman surpassed even the bids for the Spirit Beast Bracelets fought over by Qi Tian just now, eventually being sold for 150,000 coins.
Thereafter, several other items were sold consecutively, but unfortunately, they were all niche items similar to the female human cauldron. Qi Tian had no use for them, so he didn’t bid.
Just as Qi Tian was becoming disinterested, the auctioneer said, “Next, I am selling an opportunity, a chance for survival.”
Qi Tian perked up, quickly turning to look at the stage. A cultivator pushed a cart with four wheels onto the stage, on which stood a circular platform. The platform was small, enough to accommodate only one person. There were several runes engraved on it and a few yellow talismans affixed.
“This is the Resentment Washing Platform. Whoever stands on it can completely cleanse themselves of all foreign scents or traces, including stray hairs, and suppress their own body odor, replacing it with a new fragrance that will last for three days. Our starting price for the Resentment Washing Platform is 500,000 coins, with a one-time payment of one million coins. If you want it, raise your hand quickly. This is the last Resentment Washing Platform we are selling today. The creation of the next platform will take at least three days.”
One of Qi Tian’s main purposes in coming to the black market this time was the Resentment Washing Platform, so he immediately raised his hand and said, “One million coins.”
“Congratulations…”

“Wait, I bid 1.5 million coins.” Another man who had been silent since entering the room suddenly raised his hand.
The auctioneer shrugged and said, “Since both of you want it, we shall follow the old rule. The highest bidder gets it. Please place your bids.”
“2 million.” Qi Tian promptly raised the bid by 500,000.
“2,010,000.” The man who had bid earlier called out.
“2,500,000.” Qi Tian increased his bid significantly.
The man glared at Qi Tian resentfully, “No one should be too defiant for one’s own good. Our paths may cross again, my friend. Do you really want to push it this far? 2,510,000.”
Qi Tian smiled faintly, “Three million.”
The man didn’t expect Qi Tian to reply like that. His eyes grew increasingly resentful, fierce and cold, no different from a wicked wolf or poisonous snake.
The auctioneer pushed the cart over to Qi Tian, smiling, “Guest, here’s your Resentment Washing Platform.”
Qi Tian pulled out his moneybag , poured three million coins into the deposit tube in the cultivator’s hand. The man handed over the pushcart to Qi Tian cheerfully while pointing towards the door, “If needed, you may use the room next door right now. Go right out the door, follow the corridor for about ten meters, and you’ll see the room. I, Zheng, assure you that no one will disturb you or peep at you. You can use it with peace in mind.”
Qi Tian nodded, pushing the cart on his way out. The cultivator who had been squabbling with Qi Tian over the resentment washing platform followed surreptitiously.
As Qi Tian continued to push the cart forward, the man silently took out a dagger, stalking closely behind him. After five or six meters, he abruptly sped up like a cheetah that saw its prey. All three runes on his dagger activated, harshly lunging towards Qi Tian’s back.
Just when he was about to hit Qi Tian, Qi Tian suddenly turned around and launched the Eight Desolate Demon Tiger Fist’s eighth move – Tiger Ambition. Under the double power boost from the Heavenly Dao Engine, this punch hit the man square in the chest.
Bang! His chest concaved, several ribs fractured, piercing into his internal organs. His eyes bulged like a dead fish, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, his heart stopped beating. To his last breath, he couldn’t believe that as a peak cultivator at the Qi Cultivation 7th Level, he would die at the hands of Qi Tian, who was merely at the Qi Cultivation Stage 4.
Qi Tian walked over and took the dagger from the man’s hand, ruthlessly slashing it towards his neck, and beheaded him, kicking the head away. Some cultivators won’t die unless their heads are severed, and some even if they are dismembered. However, the latter was rare. The man who tried to ambush him definitely couldn’t survive after beheading, guaranteeing his death.
“Bad luck.” Looking at the blood on his body, Qi Tian silently decided to do such things less in the future. Disposing of the body using the Heavenly Dao Engine was undoubtedly more environmentally friendly and hygienic. He bent down, took the storage bag from the dead man’s body, and placed it in his arms.
Pushing the cart again, Qi Tian reached the room pointed out by Zheng, opened the door, and found it empty, even the windows were covered with thick curtains. He took out a torch and carefully inspected the room. Anticipating any unnoticeable traps, he also let the Heavenly Dao Engine sense if there was anything usable as fuel in the room. If the black market had set the room up, they would definitely need Spirit Qi for support. They might deceive Qi Tian, but they could not deceive the Heavenly Dao Engine.
As expected, in a corner of the room, the Heavenly Dao Engine discovered an extremely well-hidden rune. Its Spirit Qi pulse was so weak, it took the Heavenly Dao Engine quite some time to spot it.
Qi Tian punched at it, shattering the rune. After further checks using the Heavenly Dao Engine, the room was clear of anything suspicious.
Qi Tian closed and bolted the door, drew the curtain closed, then began to clean his stuff. Since he entered Guchuan City, he had scored a lot – killed Wu Jin Xiu and that cultivator, defeated Cai Wenzhi and taken his storage bag and storage ring, but he hadn’t had time to clean those storage bags. If the Cai family had a special technique for locating, and he had sensitive things in the bag, they would locate and come after him. Therefore, he had to dispose of sensitive things before they found him.
Qi Tian emptied everything from the storage bags of Wu Jin Xiu, Cai Wenzhi, and others into his Wuhang Ring. The contents of the three storage bags were quite a stash, just the coins were over twenty million; the bag left by Wu Jin Xiu contained the most – over ten million, presumably it was the business revenue of his mount store. He didn’t have time to stash it in a safe room before Qi Tian took him out.
When trying to open Cai Wenzhi’s storage ring, Qi Tian encountered trouble. It wasn’t a standard storage ring but a spirit treasure, more advanced than regular spirit military. The biggest difference was that it bonded with the owner. Even if the original owner were killed, it didn’t necessarily mean the storage ring could be opened.
After attempting a few times and realizing the fruitless efforts, he let out a wry smile, and gave Wu Jin Xiu and Cai Wenzhi’s storage bags and along with the storage rings to the Heavenly Dao Engine to fuel it.
Heavenly Dao Engine unleashed the transporting whirlwind, swallowed up the storage bags and storage rings. After a while, Qi Tian turned his palm over, and the transporting whirlwind reappeared, throwing out a pile of residues from his palm, one of which was the Spirit Beast Bracelet.
The pile of residues was quite sizeable, full of high value coins each worth a thousand, as many as twenty or thirty thousand. Qi Tian collected them along with the Spirit Beast Bracelet. He took a moment to sort it through and concluded these coins amounted to as much as thirty million, which were given by the Cai family to Cai Wenzhi as a resource to get close to Li, but before spending a single coin, it was snatched by Qi Tian.
Unknown to Qi Tian, at Lianying Trade Union, Cai Wenzhi, being treated in one of the rooms, despite the physician’s emergency treatment stabilizing his injuries, suddenly gasped and spit out a mouthful of fresh blood. Subsequently, he slipped into a deep coma again. A part of his soul attached to the storage ring was swallowed by the Heavenly Dao Engine, his spirit suffered. It was now even more difficult to recover.
After cleaning the residue again Qi Tian found several books and secret scriptures. Many of them were the well-guarded secrets of the Cai family, now in Qi Tian’s possession. Among them was the Eagle Nine Claw Skills and the matching spear technique for the Hell Cold Star Halberd – Underworld King Eighteen Halberds. Both of these martial arts are classified as middle-grade mysterious level, the strongest skill that a Qi Cultivation Period cultivator can learn. Any higher-level technique would exhaust most the cultivator’s True Essence, maintaining it would be impossible even if they had it.
Qi Tian stripped off all his clothes and stood on the Resentment Washing Platform. He passed his True Essence into it, and the yellow charms activated. A water snake emerged from it and began cruising around Qi Tian’s body, carrying away the blood that wasn’t his. Afterward, those yellow charms began to move, and threads of light scent started wafting around Qi Tian. Once they dissipated, Qi Tian sniffed his underarm – as expected, the smell had changed.
