Longevity through Upgrading Buildings-Chapter 536 - 249: Gains

Ji Yuan first took out the Wailing Wanderer’s storage bag and infiltrated his divine sense into it, scanning through it quickly.

Goodness, the mid-grade Spirit Stones are as many as... 3, 4, 5, 6... 6894 pieces, and there are also 10 upper-grade Spirit Stones, but no low-grade Spirit Stones — it seems this Fake Pill Cultivator doesn’t care for them.

Wonder how many Spirit Stones Luo Sifu has.

Forget it, better to count these Spirit Stones first and see if the hardship was worth it.

With this thought, Ji Yuan took out Luo Sifu’s storage bag and used his divine sense to count.

The Spirit Stones here aren’t as many.

There are only two upper-grade Spirit Stones, but there’s a considerable amount of mid-grade Spirit Stones: 4530 pieces.

Among them, 4000 pieces are neatly stored in boxes, and their quality looks quite new.

Ji Yuan guessed that Luo Sifu prepared them for his escape from the Luo Family, planning to profit massively before leaving.

But alas, I’ve benefitted from it instead.

There’s only 556 low-grade Spirit Stones, not many.

"Young Master Li, I’ve counted, the Spirit Stones are all here."

Ye Zhiqiu operated among the numerous storage bags and finally handed over a new storage bag with both hands.

"Oh?"

Ji Yuan took it, scanned it with his divine sense, "Hmm? Quite a lot!"

Inside were thousands of Spirit Stones...

upper-grade Spirit Stones, saved by some Foundation Establishment Cultivator who couldn’t bear to use them, now benefiting me.

Most were mid-grade Spirit Stones, totaling 3232 pieces.

There were also quite a few low-grade Spirit Stones, as Ye Zhiqiu and the others didn’t spare even those Qi Cultivation Cultivators when robbing, totaling... 2350 pieces.

So in total, the Spirit Stone harvest was:

upper-grade Spirit Stones.

mid-grade Spirit Stones.

low-grade Spirit Stones.

Not bad, not bad, a small profit; just the mid-grade Spirit Stones alone equate to 147 days’ production of a Spirit Vein.

Indeed, no matter how hard one cultivates, they can’t escape the bandit’s gain principle.

However, it’s fortunate; if not for being pushed to the limit, Ji Yuan wouldn’t have resorted to killing.

Like Luo Sifu’s storage bag, I just stumbled upon it.

Ji Yuan then transferred all these Spirit Stones into his dedicated storage bag for them, only now feeling how wealthy he was.

Previously, selling talismans and elixirs, occasional theft, along with killing for treasure, the Autumn Wind.

When free, he’d sell Foundation Establishment Pills.

Despite the high expenses, Ji Yuan managed to save over 12,000 mid-grade Spirit Stones.

Now with these, he has over 26,000 mid-grade Spirit Stones.

This wealth... is comparable to some Golden Core Cultivators, I reckon?

Of course, can’t compare to Golden Core Zhenren like Li Laocai.

Happily tallying the Spirit Stones, Ji Yuan began to count the other treasures.

The first was the Wailing Wanderer’s snakehead staff.

The power displayed earlier was recognized by Ji Yuan, joy in his heart.

He had thought if he could obtain it, then this "Qiu Qianhai," the old demon, would have a trump card attack Spiritual Artifact.

To his surprise, he truly got it now.

Ji Yuan acquired and refined it, a top-grade Spiritual Artifact, the "Five Poison Serpent Staff."

Inside contained 1800 types of toxins; activating it could turn five miles of surroundings into a deadly poison swamp, also empowering each attack with a fatal toxin.

First, there was the poison needle the Wailing Wanderer emitted earlier, which, if hit on a Peak Foundation Establishment Cultivator, could ruin their peaceful life.

But... such a powerful Spiritual Artifact, why didn’t he use it in the Ghost Seeking Cave earlier?

"Was this Spiritual Artifact obtained by the Wailing Wanderer after leaving the Ghost Seeking Cave?"

Ji Yuan inquired.

"Correct, after taking me in, he took me to find a Fake Pill Cultivator skilled in Artifact Refining, and acquired this top-grade Spiritual Artifact from him."

Ye Zhiqiu explained.

"Purchasing such a top-grade Spiritual Artifact and having so many Spirit Stones, that old thing saved quite a sum."

"No... I overheard them say, when the Wailing Wanderer got this poison staff, he didn’t spend Spirit Stones; instead, he did another trade."

"What kind of trade?"

"That, I don’t know."

Ye Zhiqiu shook his head.

"Alright then."

Ji Yuan stored the Five Poison Serpent Staff in his storage bag; it can accompany him till the Core Formation Stage, a treasure worth keeping.

Next, he retrieved Luo Sifu’s main combat Spiritual Artifact from his storage bag.

It was a top-grade Spiritual Artifact-level Water-Splitting Needle.

Ji Yuan remembered receiving the Water-Splitting Needle, back in Zengtou City, gifted by the deceased Liu Brothers.

But that was only a top-grade Magical Artifact-level Water-Splitting Needle; it hardly compares to this.

A good item indeed, but Ji Yuan dared not use it near South Sea City.

Whether in use or sales, it must be handled upon returning to the Water Dragon Sect.

Then there were two Protective Spiritual Artifacts.

The Wailing Wanderer had a top-grade Spiritual Artifact-level Spirit Robe, which was damaged by the Heaven Net.

Pity, pity.

Instead, Luo Sifu had a top-grade Spiritual Artifact-level Protective Shield, called "Dragon Whisker Shield," seemingly made from armor of a Tier Three Serpent.

Also, the shield’s back had the Serpent’s two whiskers for offense, quite a decent Spiritual Artifact.

Ji Yuan reluctantly accepted it.

Next were the elixirs and talismans; both had plenty, and Ji Yuan kept some, sharing a portion with Ye Zhiqiu.

Following were cultivation techniques and magic, these the Wailing Wanderer had in abundance.

After all, being the Great Love Sect’s Sect Leader, contains numerous Demon Skills, including main cultivation techniques, one directly cultivatable to the Golden Core Stage, named — "Cyan Jade Gold-breaking Skill."

Gold Element Technique, not useful to Ji Yuan.

He could find a chance to auction it off.

’But acquired so many cultivation techniques and spells here, wonder if I could establish a Scripture Pavilion?’

Thoughts flashed through Ji Yuan’s mind, only to try upon return.

Just when he thought he finished tallying the harvest, Ye Zhiqiu proactively reminded him:

"Young Master Li, in the Wailing old rogue’s storage bag, there should be another good treasure set."
