Chapter 114: Distributing the Spoils
Twenty days later.
Jingzhou border, Lianyunfang City, Yunshan Inn.
After successfully destroying the water veins of Baiyu Lake, Su Ming and his three companions did not dare to stay in Yuzhou for a long time. They almost evacuated towards Jingzhou day and night, fearing that they would be hunted down by the Hehuan Sect.
After fifteen days of flying, Su Ming and his three companions successfully returned to the Jingzhou border.
However, the three did not stop, but flew for another four days and returned to Lianyunfang City near Lianyun Mountain before stopping.
Not only Lianyun Mountain, but also Lianyunfang City was taken over by Guiyuan Sect. When the merits were distributed after the war, this spiritual land was expected to be exchanged by other immortal families in Jingzhou with their war merits and become the territory of their own families.
As soon as they entered the market, Su Ming and his three companions were stopped by a master uncle in the late stage of foundation building.
After stating their identities as inner disciples and taking out the task token given by Fang Yuechan, Su Ming and his three companions also stayed in Lianyunfang City for a while to rest.
Su Ming sat cross-legged on the wooden bed and practiced his skills. As the fluctuations of his mana disappeared, a blue light flashed in his eyes when he opened them: "After a day of rest, the mana in my body has recovered almost completely..."
Feeling that his mana had almost recovered, Su Ming got up from the bed, straightened his sleeves, and walked towards another room in the inn.
When he entered the room, Chang Yun and Jiang Caiyun were already sitting down, drinking tea and chatting.
When Jiang Caiyun saw Su Ming coming in, her eyes fluctuated, and a bright smile appeared on her face. She stood up and poured him a cup of tea.
"It's my junior brother who is late!"
Su Ming took the tea but didn't drink it. Instead, he smiled and bowed to the two of them and said.
"Haha, we are just one step ahead of you, Junior Brother Su!"
Chang Yun smiled and waved his hand. The three of them chatted for a few words, and then put six storage bags and a spirit beast bag on the table in front of them.
During the half month of evacuating Yuzhou, the three of them hardly stopped, except for flying and restoring their magic power, which resulted in the spoils of Baiyu Lake not being distributed yet.
The three of them jointly carried out the Baiyu Lake mission this time. Although Su Ming made the greatest contribution, Chang Yun and Jiang Caiyun also made great efforts. The second-level talismans on their bodies were basically used in the battle of Baiyu Lake, and the magic weapons in their hands were also damaged to varying degrees.
In this case, Su Ming would naturally not take all the gains for himself.
Just after the storage bag was placed on the table, before it was opened, Chang Yun spoke to Su Ming:
"I just discussed with Junior Sister Jiang. If Junior Brother Su hadn't risked sneaking into Baiyu Lake for this mission, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to capture Baiyu Lake from the hands of the Hehuan Sect cultivators..."
"If Junior Brother Su has no objection, you will take 50% of the harvest this time, and I will take 30% of the remaining 50%, and Junior Sister Jiang will take 20%..."
Hearing this, Su Ming looked at Jiang Caiyun who was sitting at the table. The other party also smiled and nodded to him, and didn't seem to be dissatisfied with this distribution.
Seeing that Chang Yun and the others took the initiative to speak, Su Ming didn't give in, nodded and smiled: "Then Junior Brother, I won't be polite!"
Su Ming contributed the most in this mission, and he didn't have any psychological burden to take away half of the spoils.
"Open it and take a look."
After deciding on the distribution, Jiang Caiyun spoke to Su Ming and the others.
Chang Yun took action and emptied all the contents of the six storage bags onto the table. Soon, the wooden table was filled with magic tools, elixirs, talismans, and secret manuals of martial arts, as well as a large number of spiritual stones and various things.
As Zhao Qingfeng's storage bag was opened, a large number of private clothes of female cultivators were poured out, including a large number of cool, hot, and dignified ones, and even a few silk translucent ones, which made Chang Yun look at them unconsciously, and Jiang Caiyun blushed.
Only Su Ming looked indifferent, and his eyes were still clear.
After all, Zhao Qingfeng was a disciple of the Hehuan Sect and was proficient in the way of collecting and replenishing. It was natural for Su Ming to have some clothes of the opposite sex, and it was not surprising at all.
With Chang Yun coughing, Jiang Caiyun blushed and put all the clothes aside, and Su Ming flicked his finger and burned them all with a fireball.
"As expected of an inner disciple of the Hehuan Sect, his storage bags are much richer than those of the two Meng family members."
Su Ming sighed in his heart after comparing the storage bags of Zhao Qingfeng and the other four with those of the two Meng family members.
The two storage bags of the Meng family only have two top-grade magic tools that are worth looking at, and their value is not even comparable to any of the storage bags of the four people of the Hehuan Sect.
There are about 5,000 spiritual stones in the six storage bags, and the three of them first divided the pile of spiritual stones according to the proportion just agreed.
Among the remaining things, there are four things that Su Ming thinks are of higher value.
They are the top-grade magic tools of Zhang Qiwen and Zhao Qingfeng, the Fire Cloud Seal and the Mysterious Copper Shield, the Water Covering Array Diagram arranged in the White Jade Lake, and a purple yang ginseng found in Zhao Qingfeng's storage bag.
"I didn't expect that this person actually had such a foundation-building spiritual object on him. No wonder the Meng family cultivators risked their lives to seize this storage bag..."
Jiang Caiyun looked at the purple yang ginseng in the jade box and said with some emotion.
For a family of immortal cultivators without a foundation-building period, the value of a foundation-building spiritual object is much higher than that of a top-grade magic weapon, and it is indeed worth Meng Yang to gamble his life on it.
Unfortunately, Meng Yang had calculated everything, but he did not expect Su Ming to have this higher-level wind-chasing talisman. Otherwise, if he really ran away, the Meng family might really become a foundation-building family in a few years.
"The remaining items are nothing to us, there is no need to worry about it, just distribute them according to the value of the spirit stones..."
"These four items are of the highest value. According to the distribution method just agreed upon, Junior Brother Su, please take two items first!"
Chang Yun pointed to the four most valuable items and said to Su Ming. Jiang Caiyun on the side had no objection, but his eyes kept staring at the purple ginseng plant, obviously he wanted this foundation-building spiritual object.
In fact, in terms of value, among the four items, the water-covering array is the most valuable. After all, things are rare and expensive. If it is put up for auction, it is estimated that the transaction price will not be lower than the foundation-building pill that was originally auctioned.
But for Su Ming, the water-covering formation had already been analyzed and included by Luo Shu. It could be easily refined by paying some material cost, and there was no need to choose the formation diagram at all.
"Then junior brother, I will choose these two."
Su Ming ignored Jiang Caiyun's resentful look and took away the purple ginseng he was staring at with a smile.
Cultivation of immortality is to go against the will of nature. When the opportunity comes, you must seize it firmly, but there is no room for compromise.
For Qi Refining monks, the priority of foundation-building spiritual objects is higher than anything else. Even if it can only increase the possibility of foundation-building by half, Su Ming will never let it go.
After taking away the Purple Sun Ginseng, Su Ming took away the Fire Cloud Seal from two top-quality magical artifacts, and then looked at Chang Yun and Chang Yun with a smile.
Seeing that Su Ming did not choose the most valuable water-covering formation diagram, but chose the Fire Cloud Seal, Chang Yun and the others' eyes flickered, a little surprised.
