236: Loss of Status
He immediately stepped forward.
But he didn’t rashly search the body.
Instead, he picked up the black curved blade of the Black Lotus.
From a short distance away, he cautiously used the tip of the blade to open the Black Lotus’s clothes.
He narrowly jumped back.
With a hiss!
A blood-red venomous snake, the length of an index finger, suddenly lunged out and bit fiercely on the curved blade.
The venom it spewed from its mouth corroded the mid-grade magic artifact, causing black smoke to rise.
Jiang Fan acted quickly.
The black blade shuddered, releasing a strong burst of sword Qi, slicing the small venomous snake into two!
Everyone looked at the intense corrosion on the black blade, causing their scalps to tingle.
The mid-grade magic artifact could corrode to such an extent, showing how potent the venom was!
If they had rashly searched the body just now.

The consequences would have been…
Zhang Xuemou felt a chill down her spine.
Then she looked at Jiang Fan, not hiding her admiration.
Jiang Fan was younger than her, but his vast experience made her feel ashamed.
She somewhat understood why their master held Jiang Fan in such high regard.
She couldn’t help but mimic their master’s tone, turning to educate the group of junior sisters behind her: “Did you see? Learn from this!”
“Be extremely cautious when out in the world from now on.”
“Otherwise, you won’t even know how you died!”
The junior sisters all nodded, looking at Jiang Fan with admiration.
If it were them, they would have been tempted by the amazing relics possibly hidden on the Black Lotus and let down their guard, rashly searching the body.
But despite Jiang Fan’s immense strength, he still remained cautious.
This deeply taught them a valuable lesson.
One that would benefit them for life.
Then.
Jiang Fan made multiple attempts, thoroughly confirming that there were no other hidden weapons on her.
Only then did he remove the items from her body.
Most were some healing spiritual medicine and heavenly materials and earthly treasures unique to the mountains.
Though valuable, they weren’t of much use to him.
Only one item caught his attention.
It was a small wooden box wrapped in oil paper.
Carefully opening it, Jiang Fan was startled.
It was a crystal token with a face value of ten thousand crystals!
“Good heavens! Just how many people did she plunder over the years to amass so many crystals?”
He unceremoniously took it out.
Only then did he notice.
Under the crystal token was a palm-sized piece of cloth.
When touched, it felt cool and silky.
The material seemed like silk but had a metallic luster.
The surface was blank.
Jiang Fan’s eyes showed a thoughtful look.
If it was a useless piece of cloth, Black Lotus would not have placed it together with a ten thousand crystals token, right?
For the time being, he had no leisure to study it, so he simply put it away.
As for the rest…
Jiang Fan looked at Zhang Xuemou and the group of junior sisters, as well as Qin Caihe and Chu Xingmeng.
“The rest of these, you can split them among yourselves.”
