Hearing these words, Zhou Yunxiao nodded in satisfaction, inwardly quite approving of Lin Tianming’s suggestion.
“Alright… since Lin is being so straightforward, I naturally won’t nitpick!”
Zhou Yunxiao said with a smile, then took the lead in picking up Xiang Changqing’s storage bag, quickly erasing the remaining Divine Sense on it.
Immediately after, Zhou Yunxiao also investigated the storage bag and then tossed it to Lin Tianming.
Lin Tianming didn’t hesitate, immediately sending his Divine Sense into the bag to carefully search through the treasures inside.
What met his eyes was a large amount of Spirit Stones—over a hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones and even more impressive was the fifteen thousand plus Medium-Grade Spirit Stones. Just these Spirit Stones alone amounted to a total over one million six hundred thousand.
Among the other treasures, there were a dazzling array of Second and Third Order Treasures in various quantities.
...
Although these items were not of low value, most of them did not hold much attraction for Lin Tianming.
What he was really interested in were the rarer treasures among the Third Order, especially those that could assist in enhancing one’s cultivation or were Nascent Soul Spiritual Items.
Besides these, if there were any Fourth Tier Items, that would be best.
However, after a thorough search, he only found a few bottles of elixirs used by Golden Core Cultivators, and not even a single Nascent Soul Spiritual Item was discovered.
Thinking about it, this wasn’t strange. After all, Xiang Changqing was a Sect Cultivator, and even the Golden Sword Sect had a great demand for Core Formation Spiritual Items.
Moreover, during the excursion to the Tianfeng Secret Realm, not only had their disciples been annihilated, but the three Jiuli Star Fruits that should have belonged to them were also obtained by the Lin Family.
Under such circumstances, it was not surprising that Lin Tianming couldn’t find any Core Formation Spiritual Items in Xiang Changqing’s storage bag.
Although there were no exceptionally valuable items, he did find two Fourth Order Items, one of which was a Spirit Material called Qianjin Ratan.
The other was a Fourth Order Poison Heart Orchid, a type of Spiritual Medicine Material biased towards toxins; very few elixirs could make use of it, hence its value was not too high.
But the Qianjin Ratan was excellent for refining various Magical Treasures. Being a Metal Attribute Heaven and Earth Spirit Material, it could significantly enhance the penetrating power of a Magical Treasure and was one of the rarer Spirit Materials.
These two items were the most valuable finds among the spoils of war explored so far. 𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Other than these, he didn’t see any hereditary or legacy-related items.
For this, Lin Tianming was already mentally prepared, having already seen the storage bags of many Sect Cultivators, which rarely contained any hereditary items.
Xiang Changqing was also from a Sect, and coming from the barren Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World, it was normal for him to lack any hereditary treasures.
Based on his estimation, Xiang Changqing’s storage bag, along with his two Magical Treasures, one for attack and one for defense, was roughly worth over ten million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
Overall, such assets were perhaps not considered abundant for a Mid Stage Golden Core Cultivator.
At least in comparison with the similarly ranked Xu Zhi that he had encountered before, it was evidently a notch lower.
But being able to eliminate him and acquire these spoils of war was already quite fortunate.
After the exploration of Xiang Changqing’s storage bag was complete, Zhou Yunxiao’s gaze fell on He Liqiu’s storage bag.
In their eyes, although He Liqiu was only at the Early Stage Golden Core, he came from a Nascent Soul-Level Power.
With the Blood Red Alliance’s tendency to cause trouble everywhere, these people surely committed many nefarious deeds.
Therefore, the treasures he might have accumulated could perhaps rival those of the righteous Sect Cultivator Xiang Changqing.
With this expectation, Lin Tianming and Zhou Yunxiao took turns investigating He Liqiu’s storage bag.
Soon, He Liqiu’s wealth was mastered by them.
As expected, He Liqiu’s possessions were indeed extremely substantial, with over twenty thousand Medium-grade Spirit Stones.
The vast number of these Medium-Grade Spirit Stones, when compared to Xu Zhi of the Qingyun Sect and Xiang Changqing of the Zhenyang Sect, exceeded theirs by several thousand.
Apart from these, other various Second and Third Order Treasures dazzled the eyes, their quantity and quality were in no way inferior to those in Xiang Changqing’s storage bag.
In addition to these items, there were plenty of desirable things in He Liqiu’s storage bag, like over ten bottles of commonly used elixirs such as Spirit Dragon Pill, as well as a multitude of excellent Third Order Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Mines.
These items were invaluable treasures to Golden Core Cultivators.
But the most valuable were three Fourth Order Treasures and a tome of insights from a Third Order Artifact Refiner.
Fourth Order Treasures need not even be mentioned; even those of a less commonly useful variety still represent existences of incomparable value.
As for the Artifact Refiner’s insights, they too hold considerable value.
After all, since the founding of the Lin Family, there had not yet been a Third Order Artifact Refiner.
Though numerous Artifact Refining legacies had been collected over the years, most of them were Second Order items, which offered extremely limited assistance to Lin Shilu in improving his Artifact Refining Technique.
Yet, despite its value not comparing to a Fourth Order Treasure, Lin Tianming still wished to acquire it, intending it as a congratulatory gift for Lin Shilu’s successful Core Formation.
Having made up his mind, Lin Tianming turned to Zhou Yunxiao and said with a cupped-hand salute, “Daoist Zhou, may I claim the Fourth Order Qianjin Ratan, the Bone Cleansing Flower, and the Third Order Artifact Refiner’s insights?”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunxiao did not respond immediately but rather contemplated in silence.
In his view, the wealth of tangibles belonging to Xiang Changqing and He Liqiu was considerable, comprising as many as five Fourth Tier items, not to mention the Artifact Refiner’s insights, which could be considered half a Fourth Tier Item.
Out of so many high-value treasures, Lin Tianming had chosen two fine items in one breath.
There was practically no other treasure remaining that could compare with the Qianjin Ratan and the Bone Cleansing Flower among the Fourth Tier items.
To speak candidly, he was quite reluctant to part with them.
Despite Myriad Medicine Valley’s millennia-long heritage, the accumulated Third and Fourth Rank Treasures were still limited in number, and immediate useable items were even rarer.
Now that Lin Tianming had put forth his request, and given that he had indeed previously promised to let him choose three treasures first,
Under these circumstances, if he were to forcefully refuse Lin Tianming’s request, it would inevitably result in Lin Tianming’s displeasure.
Should that create a rift, it would probably not be the outcome they desired.
Understanding this, Zhou Yunxiao, though reluctant, had no choice but to acquiesce to Lin Tianming’s request.
With his mind settled, Zhou Yunxiao feigned difficulty before finally speaking.
“Since Lin has requested it, I shall not compete for what one desires!”
“However, Lin also understands the value of those treasures. Since you have chosen first, the remaining three Fourth Order items shall belong to Myriad Medicine Valley!”
“Furthermore, for the rest of the treasures, Lin must concede, and they will be assessed at twenty percent of their value, what do you think?”
Hearing this, Lin Tianming, knowing full well he couldn’t only reap benefits, did not hesitate and directly expressed his agreement.
Seeing this, Zhou Yunxiao nodded and then began dividing the remaining treasures with Lin Tianming.
A quarter of an hour later, they had completed the allocation of all the treasures.
Aside from the Fourth Tier Qianjin Ratan, Bone Cleansing Flower, and the Third Order Artifact Refiner’s insights selected earlier, Lin Tianming also acquired several bottles of Third Order Pills and thirty Third Grade Treasures.
This included various Spiritual Medicine, Spirit Ores, and Spirit Materials.
In addition, there were five thousand Medium-Grade Spirit Stones, the Offensive Magical Treasure used by He Liqiu, and the Defense Treasure used by Xiang Changqing.
Of the remaining treasures, whether they were Spirit Stones, Spiritual Medicine of any grade, or Magical Treasures and elixirs, all went to Myriad Medicine Valley.
Lin Tianming was quite satisfied with such an allocation.
After all, except for the very top treasures, which were split evenly, he had chosen the higher-order items among the other treasures, not selecting any Second Order Treasures at all.
Though those Second Order Treasures were numerous, varied, and the amount of Spirit Stones reached over three million,
It must be acknowledged that the value of Third Order Treasures was higher, with one equivalent to dozens or even hundreds of Second Order Treasures.
If any Golden Core Cultivator were to make a choice, they would undoubtedly, without hesitation, select the higher-value items.
Zhou Yunxiao was quite magnanimous and tactful and did not quibble over the distribution.
Such an arrangement also served as a proactive gesture of good will towards the Lin Family.
For this, Lin Tianming genuinely felt relief and gratitude; his participation in this perilous Golden Core battle had not been in vain.
In his eyes, although the battle was fraught with danger, the gains he had made were indeed satisfying.
