Chapter 1842: Chapter 1845: Bountiful Gains

He opened those Space Rings and glanced through them.

All Heavens Strange Objects, Saint Pills, ancient Saint Medicines, heaven‑grade Spiritual Artifacts and all kinds of Treasures, dazzled the eyes as they entered Chu Fengmian’s pupils.

But Chu Fengmian no longer cared much about these things; what he needed most right now was Immortal Stones.

The Chen Family had a single Immortal Stone, so these three great families should also have Immortal Stones among their possessions.

Yet Chu Fengmian opened several Space Rings in a row and still failed to find any trace of an Immortal Stone, which made his brows furrow involuntarily.

For Chu Fengmian’s current strength, what gave the greatest boost was Immortal Stones; apart from Immortal Stones, it would be Immortal Items.

But Immortal Items were even rarer than Immortal Stones.

Immortal Stones were merely condensed immortal power, used as currency for trade among Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists, whereas Immortal Items were Treasures within the Heavenly Human Realm, their value worlds apart.

If he couldn’t even find Immortal Stones, there was no need to mention Immortal Items.

Chu Fengmian opened twelve Space Rings in succession and gained nothing at all, so in the end he fixed his gaze on the last Space Ring.

This final Space Ring belonged to Wu Tianji; Wu Tianji was the strongest, and the one most likely to possess Immortal Stones.

Chu Fengmian picked up Wu Tianji’s Space Ring and injected a strand of Spiritual Power into it. The ring opened, and with just a single glance his expression froze, then he was overjoyed.

The moment he opened Wu Tianji’s Space Ring, Chu Fengmian saw a surge of cyan‑blue radiance spreading out.

At one glance, Chu Fengmian saw that in the depths of Wu Tianji’s Space Ring there were no fewer than several dozen Immortal Stones placed there, big and small, at least twenty or thirty in total.

"There are actually this many Immortal Stones?"

Even Chu Fengmian was utterly shocked. Twenty to thirty Immortal Stones—that was already an enormous figure.

After all, last time when Chu Fengmian killed the five half‑step Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists from Nine Hua Heaven, he had only obtained ten Immortal Stones from their Space Rings in total.

Nine Hua Heaven was a Saint Domain; in terms of size and wealth it was far beyond what the Yan Luo Star Domain could compare to.

In Chu Fengmian’s estimation, if he could harvest just a few Immortal Stones this time he would already be satisfied.

Chu Fengmian counted carefully; in Wu Tianji’s Space Ring there were exactly twenty‑three Immortal Stones.

"This Wu Tianji went to such lengths to gather so many Immortal Stones—could it be that he planned to use them to break through to the Heavenly Human Realm?"

Chu Fengmian suddenly thought of it; Wu Tianji’s strength was already very close to breaking through to the Heavenly Human Realm.

Moreover, given Wu Tianji’s aptitude, he didn’t have any intention like Desolate Heavenly King or the Young Emperor, of condensing an Undying True Body first before breaking through to the Heavenly Human Realm. He would definitely seize the chance to break through whenever he had it.

So Wu Tianji must have collected so many Immortal Stones in preparation to use them when he attempted his breakthrough to the Heavenly Human Realm, to assist that step.

But now, all these Immortal Stones that Wu Tianji had painstakingly accumulated ended up benefitting Chu Fengmian.

The value of an Immortal Stone was essentially priceless; to bring a single Immortal Stone out required auctioning it, its value extremely high. Even hundreds of pieces of Divine Grade Spirit Stone would be hard‑pressed to exchange for one Immortal Stone.

Even in the Saint Domain of Nine Hua Heaven, Immortal Stones were incomparably rare items.

To gather these twenty‑three Immortal Stones, who knew how much wealth Wu Tianji had spent; and that was only because Wu Tianji, as the strongest of the Wu Family, had leveraged the power of the entire Wu Family, painstakingly accumulating twenty‑three Immortal Stones.

And now, these twenty‑three Immortal Stones all belonged to Chu Fengmian.

Chu Fengmian laughed loudly and, without any politeness, stored all twenty‑three Immortal Stones into his own Space Ring.

At the same time, among these Space Rings, a number of extremely high‑value Spiritual Artifacts, Saint Medicines, Saint Pills and so on were all taken by Chu Fengmian and put into his Space Ring.

By the time he finished all this, an hour had already passed. Chu Fengmian had just experienced Awakening, and the first thing he saw was the Chen Family Head, Chen Jin, standing before him.

Seeing that Chu Fengmian had Awakened, Chen Jin hurriedly walked over, presenting a Space Ring with both hands, and spoke respectfully,

"Mr. Chu, this is the wealth from the treasuries of the three great families; it has all been placed into this Space Ring."

Back in the Yan Luo Star Domain, the Chen Family had only been the bottom of the four great families; the wealth of the remaining three great families far surpassed that of the Chen Family.

Especially the Wu Family, which occupied the Star Domain Transmission Array, was simply overflowing with riches. Just seeing that wealth made Chen Jin want to keep it for himself.

But Chen Jin also knew very well who it was that had subdued the three great families. On the surface, the three great families now belonged to the Chen Family, but the Chen Family had already submitted to Chu Fengmian.

Once the wealth of the three great families had been collected, he rushed back without delay to offer it to Chu Fengmian.

"Not bad."

Chu Fengmian took the Space Ring, opened it, and saw that the amount of ancient Saint Medicines, Saint Pills, Spirit Stones and so on inside far exceeded what was in the Space Rings of those half‑step Heavenly Human Realm experts.

However, the quality was much poorer. As for the Immortal Stones that Chu Fengmian cared about, there were still five inside this Space Ring.

It seemed Wu Tianji really had spent an enormous effort to gather those twenty‑three Space Rings’ worth of Immortal Stones.

Now, in the treasuries of the three great families, the total number of Immortal Stones was only five.

Chu Fengmian grabbed those five Immortal Stones at once and put them into his own Space Ring, then picked out some extremely high‑value Treasures from within, and afterward handed the Space Ring back to Chen Jin. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"These things will belong to your Chen Family. I now need a large quantity of Immortal Stones. In the future, as your Chen Family rules the Yan Luo Star Domain, you must collect Immortal Stones in large amounts. If your wealth isn’t enough, you can tell me directly."

Not only did Chu Fengmian pass him the Space Ring, he even took out a large pile of Divine Grade Spirit Stones and handed them to Chen Jin.

There were over ten thousand pieces of Divine Grade Spirit Stone in total; even if converted into Immortal Stones, that could purchase several dozen.

Now that Chu Fengmian possessed Divine Veins, he could refine Divine Grade Spirit Stones; he was not lacking in wealth, only in opportunities to buy Immortal Stones.

If Chu Fengmian went to buy Immortal Stones by himself, it would be a drop in the bucket; it would be better to have the Chen Family help him purchase Immortal Stones.

"Yes."

Chen Jin answered hastily as he accepted those Divine Grade pieces, his hands trembling slightly.

Over ten thousand Divine Grade Spirit Stones—the Chen Family’s entire wealth might not even reach such a number.

No wonder Chu Fengmian no longer needed the wealth of the three great families. When he could casually take out over ten thousand Divine Grade Spirit Stones, he naturally wasn’t short of such wealth.

"This is a Jade Talisman. If you encounter any danger, you can contact me directly."

Chu Fengmian moved his palm again; a surge of Spiritual Power condensed in his hand and turned into a Jade Talisman, which he passed to Chen Jin.

"Let’s go, to the Star Domain Transmission Array."

After finishing all this, it was time to head to the Canghai Star Domain.
