Ancestor Above - Chapter 100

100 The harvest from picking up corpses

The upper echelons of the Lu family, such as chaoxi, actually knew about Wenen’s Foundation establishment.

They had already come to a conclusion long ago. If Wenen could cultivate to the ninth-stage Qi refining realm before the next time the sect distributed the foundation building pills, then the clan would definitely support him with all their might and put in all their effort to gather ten thousand merit points for Wenen to help him achieve Dao.

Looking at the current situation, it was not a big problem.

!!
Wenen himself was already at the seventh level of the aura refining realm. Furthermore, in the past one and a half years, he had also experienced the baptism of many wars. It was not easy for a Qi refining cultivator to save up 500 merit points.

Furthermore, he had managed to survive such a brutal battle. Regardless of how much Lu Qing, the great ancestor, had helped in the process, this was definitely a very rare experience for Wenen.

By the time the war was over, it would probably take four to five years for him to reach the ninth level of the Qi refining stage.

It would depend on how many merits he could accumulate over the years, and then how his family could help him. The only way was for the clan to fork out some spirit stones and valuable items for Lu Wenen so that he could contribute them to the sect in exchange for merit points. Or, Lu Wenen could accept some sect missions, and his clan would send someone to help him settle them.

These were all conventional methods, and they were all permitted by the Qingfeng sect.

For the Qingfeng sect, this was a great deal. In order to cultivate their descendants, the major families had to offer many good things or do things for the sect.

The most ridiculous thing was that the cultivators they cultivated were indeed from their clans, but they were also disciples of their sects.

In other words, they wanted the families of the Feiyun state to contribute money and effort to the sect. It was almost like sucking their blood. However, the families were doing it willingly. They would be unhappy if they were not asked to contribute.

……

After settling Wenen down, Xinfu mountain also quieted down.

After some time, the storage bags he picked up from the battlefield were opened one by one. The storage bag that the initial enlightenment stage cultivator had left behind was particularly difficult to get his hands on. In the end, Lu chaoxi had to make a move to open it.

Only half of these storage bags were left behind by the Qi refining cultivators.

There were quite a lot of storage bags on the battlefield, but the surrounding environment wasn’t safe, and there wasn’t much time. He just had to get some of the more valuable ones. For example, the storage bag of an aura refining cultivator wasn’t worth much, so it didn’t matter if he didn’t pick it up.

The things that came out of the storage bag were very messy. After spending some time, he sorted out the items and roughly divided them into three categories.

The first type were useless items that could be discarded or dealt with however they wanted. The first type was the valuable items which would be kept in the family’s Treasury. In addition, there were also some things that he couldn’t tell what they were used for, including some pills and artifacts that he didn’t recognize.

He had to be more careful about this. For example, if one didn’t know what medicinal pills were, they wouldn’t dare to eat them. Who knew if they were poison made by others? It was the same for some special artifacts. Without a way to operate them, they were just scrap iron.

It was normal for him to not recognize something. In fact, Lu Qing might not even understand what it was. The world was full of strange things. If someone managed to create a furnace of mysterious pills, it would be normal for Lu Qing to not be able to tell what it was.

Although there weren’t many of such things, it would be a pity to throw them away, so he simply found a special storage bag and kept them. When he brought them back, he would see if there was a way to distinguish them.

The items in the sixteen storage bags had a certain value, and the total value was about thirty thousand spirit stones.

This was a rough estimate. The most valuable item was a mid-grade spirit stone.

The spirit stones that cultivators valued like money in the mortal world were usually low-grade spirit stones. Mid-grade spirit stones were much more precious. One of them was equivalent to ten thousand spirit stones.

Moreover, if he used mid-grade spirit stones to extract spirit Qi for cultivation, the efficiency would be further improved. Sometimes, some cultivators at the initial enlightenment stage and above would take out a mid-grade spirit stone from the spirit vein to refine the spirit power and help them break through.

Among the remaining items, the more valuable one was a third-grade medicinal pill called the ‘spirit boiling pill’. It was a type of medicinal pill used in battle. After eating it, one’s spiritual power would increase dramatically for six hours, and their battle power would increase by 30% to 50%. But after the event, he would enter a weakened state. Only those at the initial enlightenment stage and above could eat it. If they were not at the initial enlightenment stage, they would not be able to withstand the violent power of the medicinal pill and would explode and die.

There was also another thing called the ‘four flames to one technique’. This cultivation technique was quite famous, as it had reached the wonderful grade. However, this was the family heirloom cultivation method of the gong Sun family in Liao County, and it was almost never circulated in the outside world.

This also proved that the initial enlightenment stage cultivator’s storage bag that Lu Wenen had picked up belonged to a cultivator from the Gongsun family.

The value of this item was very high, and it contained a complete set of cultivation techniques from the Qi condensation stage to the initial enlightenment stage. If outsiders got it, they wouldn’t have to worry about the problem of the cultivation method from Qi cultivation to Qiming. If he were to sell it on the black market, he would be able to sell it for at least 10000 spiritual stones.

Wondrous-grade cultivation techniques were rare.

Unfortunately, it was of no use to the Lu family.

The Lu family already had the infinite fire control technique. It was a wonderful cultivation technique that could help one reach the gold core realm. There was no need for the cultivators of the Lu family to use the four fires as their main cultivation.

It was not suitable for the Lu family to sell it. If it was found out, they would be at odds with the Gongsun family. If the Gongsun family knew that this cultivation method was spread outside, they would definitely do their best to investigate it thoroughly. There was no need to take the risk.

Lu chaoxi consulted Lu Qing and finally decided to return this technique to the Gongsun clan. He even returned some of the useless or worthless items in the initial enlightenment cultivator’s storage bag.

This was considered a relic, so he should do the whole thing.

The Gongsun family owed him a favor.

Of course, he would not return the mid-grade spirit stone. He believed that the Gongsun family would not come looking for trouble because of this.

That was indeed the case. Later on, the Gongsun family took out 5000 spiritual stones as a token of gratitude to the Lu family.

Lu Qing was rather satisfied with this. After all, the Gongsun family was a thousand-year-old family, and they knew how to conduct themselves.

Although 5,000 spirit stones was only half the value of the ‘four flames to one technique’, this money was free, after all, and there was no risk. On the contrary, it had further pulled the relationship between the two parties closer.

There were still a lot of other things, but there were very few magic tools. After all, these cultivators were all killed in battle. Even if they had magical weapons, they would use them outside to fight. After they died, their magical weapons were either damaged or lost somewhere, and very few could be picked up.

Lu Wenen was indeed the one who had brought these items back. However, Lu Qing was the one who had put in a lot of effort. Lu Wenen had no objections to putting these items into the clan’s vault.

Later on, he would probably sell some of these things.

The direct income of spiritual stones was estimated to be around 18000. The remaining items were worth about 5000 to 6000 spiritual stones. When he returned to Yuyan mountain in the future, he would put them in the clan’s Treasury and use them as welfare and subsidies for the cultivators in the clan.
