Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 55 Dividing the spoils
The things in the filled stone chamber were divided in half, but Chong Mingzong had to choose first.

This was something Kang Dabao had agreed on in advance with the heads of the other two families. A box of black iron and a realm-breaking elixir might both have a market price of 500 spirit stones, but the latter was undoubtedly much more scarce than the former, and this was an advantage that Kang Dabao was sure to take advantage of.

Not only was this stone chamber turned upside down, the monks from the Lu and Xue families were very skilled at digging three feet into the ground. They even took up the loincloth in Zhao Gu's bedroom and shook it vigorously several times, for fear that some good stuff would fall down.

It took another half a day to finally clean up the den of ghost horse thieves. Patriarch Lu and Xue Hu held the booklet on the left and right, singing the spoils one after the other:

"There are 841 carts of black iron, 606 carts of wind copper, and 125 carts of other first-grade miscellaneous ores."

"There are 29 and a half dou of Red Spiritual Valley, 11.7 shi of Tea-colored Valley, a first-grade medium-quality black wooden steamer, and a first-grade low-quality large cauldron."

"There are five low-grade magic tools and eighty-three high-grade magic tools."

"There are three first-grade high-quality talismans, two mid-grade talismans, and eighty-eight low-quality talismans."

"There are eleven pieces of lower-grade broken skills and one piece of middle-grade broken skills."

It was pretty much as Master Kang had expected. Although there were many things in the thieves' den, they were not worth much.

Black iron and wind copper can be said to be the two cheapest refining materials in the cultivation world. Normally, one spirit stone can buy three carts of them. If you can buy them in large quantities, it will naturally be even cheaper.

The two kinds of mineral materials occupied two-thirds of the area of ​​Guima Xiao's treasury, and their value might be less than five hundred spirit stones. Most of them were accumulated from robberies over the years, and they were hoarded because they were considered cheap and heavy and difficult to sell, so they were not of much value.

Other miscellaneous minerals are slightly more expensive, but the quantity is much smaller. After a rough inventory, it is estimated that they are worth about 500 spirit stones.

Red Spiritual Rice is a good spiritual rice for Qigong cultivators. It is very beneficial for cultivators in the late stage of Qigong to eat it for a long time, but it is expensive, and one bucket costs six spiritual stones. Brown Rice is cheaper, and one bucket is only worth two spiritual stones, but it is difficult for ordinary casual cultivators to get it.

The five inferior magic tools in the stone room were all junk with mixed spiritual light, and each one might be worth at most twenty spiritual stones. The head of the Kang family didn't like them, so he gave them to the head of the Lu family and asked him to share them with Xue Hu.

As for those dozens of talismans, they could only be worth about twenty spirit stones.

Less than a hundred talismans of various levels tied together can be worth one hundred spirit stones.

The most valuable things here are probably the two magic cooking utensils. Because in places like Pingrong County where immortals are not popular, these magic tools are still rare among small forces. Based on this, these two cooking utensils can be worth 200 spirit stones.

Master Kang has been practicing Taoism for nearly thirty years, but he has rarely tasted food cooked with ritual utensils. He first pulled them in front of him. These two cooking utensils can probably be used by several generations in the Chongming Sect, and it is no problem to pass them on as heirlooms.

As for what to choose next, Kang Dabao thought about it carefully and decided that Master Kang would not look down upon those junk talismans and tools, so he excluded them first.

As for those talismans, Kang Dabao only took a glance and saw that the strokes were messy and irregular, the talisman heads were not positioned correctly, and the talisman core was weak and empty.
Several flaws can be picked out at a glance. This must have been made by those wild talisman makers who have no inheritance among the casual cultivators. It is not of much value. If it is really used in a battle, it may fail at the critical moment.

As for the two types of spiritual ores, wind copper and black iron, there is no better choice. You can buy them anywhere. Just use spiritual stones to buy them when you need them. There are some rare goods among the other miscellaneous ores. Yuan Jin should be able to use them, so he can take them.

As for the spiritual valley, just choose the red spiritual valley. Master Kang has not been able to eat it many times in all these years. He was reluctant to buy it even though he had the money before. Now he can get it for free, so there is certainly no reason to miss it.

So Chongming Sect took away two first-class cooking utensils, 100 carts of first-class miscellaneous ores, and all the red spirit valleys, and the three sects copied the skills together. The two heads were quite satisfied with this division. The head of the Kang Sect could barely be considered a particular person. The value of the things he took away was almost half of the treasure mine, and he did not take too much advantage.

Patriarch Lu argued with Patriarch Xue for quite a while, and even took out a piece of yellow cloth to do some calculations, which barely satisfied both parties. In the end, each of them received goods worth hundreds of spirit stones, and everyone was happy.

But don't underestimate the income from a few hundred spirit stones. Not long ago, Kang Dabao had less than 300 spirit stones on him, and that could almost be considered the working capital of the entire Chongming Sect.

Therefore, for Patriarch Lu and Patriarch Xue, they were already satisfied. Their family had more cultivators, but the expenses were also high, and the money they had was probably not as much as Kang Dabao, who was good at managing the household.

After all, in the past few years, even the annual salary of the two junior brothers was given out by the head of the Kang family only when he remembered.
There were no serious injuries in this expedition, except for two less capable members of the Xue family who suffered some external injuries. After using some medicine, the wounds scabbed over in a short while, and their muscles and bones were not injured.

So Kang Dabao held a meeting with the three family heads, and then they took a good rest in this den of thieves, and set out the next day, but not too early, and waited until everyone had a good sleep before setting out.

The coalition forces continued their efforts and within ten days destroyed the lair of the Neijiashan bandits in Xuping County.

This time Kang Dabao did not put pressure on Jiang Qing. After all, he was a man who knew how to live, and he also felt it was a pity that his storage bag was taken away by someone else.

So he dragged Pei Yi along to the side and watched Jiang Qing swing his flying sword a few times, and then took the storage bags from the corpses of the bandits as if picking up money.
It is hard to say whether the Lu and Xue families have any objections, but after seeing the glowing red flying sword, they should have no objections.

This time defeating the enemy was much smoother than the last time they attacked Guima Xiao. There wasn't even a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training left in the Jiashan bandits' lair.

The reason why it took ten days was that the group of robbers from Jiashan who went to Hengshan Yejia were lucky and all died. The "coalition" side had no tongue to lead the way and wandered around Xuping County for several days.

In the end, it was the head of the Xue family who used his connections and, after many twists and turns, asked a casual cultivator in Xuping County to lead the way, and finally found the lair of the Jiashan bandits.

The scale of the Jiashan bandits' power is a level lower than that of Guima Xiao, so naturally the harvest from the thieves' nest is far less abundant than that from Guima Xiao. The total value of the goods is less than 500 yuan, and one tenth of it has to be used as a reward for the wandering cultivator who leads the way.

Wipe out the remaining enemies and keep an eye on the two monks to clear out all the spoils.

Kang Dabao first rejected the suggestion of the head of the Lu family to kill the wandering cultivator who led the way, then he picked out some miscellaneous spiritual minerals and four or five first-level spiritual fruits that were acceptable. Finally, he chose a hexagonal bronze mirror that was also acceptable, threw it to Ye Pinglin, and listened to the compliments of the heads of the Xue and Lu families.

"With how desperate this young clan leader is, if he doesn't have a defensive magic weapon, he will probably die in the next battle." Kang Dabao thought as he looked at Ye Pinglin's chest which was still bleeding.

Sect Leader Kang thought that after all, the storage bags of the bandits outside had basically been picked up by Jiang Qing, so he didn't care too much about it. The quality of the other things was low anyway, so he didn't look at them. He considered that he had already picked them all, and the rest were left to the other two families, which was at least giving them some profit.

"I don't know if there are any good things in Huodao Village."

　Thanks to Brother Mushi and Brother Feicheng for the 100-point reward, and thanks to Brother Yangtuo Qidian and Brother You also love to eat puffs for the monthly ticket encouragement.

　　Lao Bai originally wanted to post it earlier today, but I worked the night shift from 17.30:08 yesterday to 00: today (it was really painful to catch up with the materials from a certain committee), so it’s a little late. Please forgive me.

　　Thanks to all the readers who are reading this book for their support. I hope that those who have time can read it, vote, comment, and give me some coins. Busy readers can stop by the last page of the daily update for 20 seconds. Thank you.
