Chapter 272: Spoils of War

Grandfather also spoke at this time, "The Clan Leader is right. Wiping out the Li family now, for us, has no benefits."

"It will only completely shatter the balance that everyone has tacitly maintained, and directly push the Lin family to the forefront."

"In the future, all Foundation Establishment families in Pingyang Prefecture will intentionally or unintentionally target us, or even form an alliance to limit and strangle us."

"So, considering all aspects, the Li family cannot be wiped out, at least not now. Wait until the Lin family has Purple Mansion cultivators. By then, even if we wipe out both the Zhao and Li families at once, the other families won't dare to do anything, and might even take the initiative to come and cheer for us! It's better to go back now, and try to squeeze the Li family's Clan Leader and that Li Dening to see if we can get more resources for the family! This is the real benefit."

The Clan Leader looked at Grandfather with gratification and said, "Eleven, what you said is quite good, it can be considered hitting the nail on the head. I am relieved to see you have this kind of insight!"

Sixth Grandfather was still a bit indignant and couldn't help but say, "It's too cheap for this group of trash from the Li family."

"Thinking that they were prepared not to let go of even ordinary Qi Refining clansmen, I wanted to chop them all up!"

At this time, the Clan Leader suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said to Sixth Grandfather Lin Fanxuan with a smile, "Little Six! If you are angry, then handle these two captives! As long as you don't kill them, you can use any means, and by the way, try to get as many resources as possible from them for the family."

"!" "Hand it to me, I guarantee to squeeze them dry to the maximum!"

The Clan Leader nodded and continued, "In this battle just now, everyone also saw Qing'er and the spirit scorpions in his hand!"

"They played a crucial, even decisive role. So my meaning is, no matter how many resources Little Six gets from the Li family this time,"

"take thirty percent out to support Little Qing'er in cultivating these spirit scorpions, and put the remaining seventy percent into the clan's public account! What do you think?"

Sixth Grandfather was the first to speak, "I fully agree with the Clan Leader's opinion. Qing'er and the spirit scorpions in his hand are indeed the biggest trump card in the clan now."

"I think we should support them even more, maybe at least half of the resources! This might allow these little guys to grow faster."

Grandfather also nodded and said, "These little guys did indeed make a great contribution this time, and they should definitely be rewarded."

"But! It's better to give one or two percent, more is not appropriate!"

Lin Zhangqing's father also said, "I have no opinion. These little guys did indeed make a great contribution. Clan Leader, you can discuss how many resources to give!"

Finally, only Lin Zhangqing himself did not express his position. Actually, to be honest, he really didn't care about these small amounts, but having is better than not having!

So he said, "Thank you, Clan Leader and Sixth Grandfather. Why don't we follow what my Grandfather said, just give one or two percent!"

"When I don't have enough resources in the future, I will tell the Clan Leader again!"

The Clan Leader shook his head and said, "No need to push back, it's decided to give thirty percent of the resources. If it's not enough, tell me again then!"

Since the Clan Leader had made the decision, everyone didn't say anything more! Lin Zhangqing had a thought and quickly said, "Clan Leader, can we exchange that thirty percent of resources into second-grade low-grade spirit crystals? This is convenient for direct feeding, so I don't have to go out and buy them myself!"

The Clan Leader nodded and said, "These are all small problems. When the time comes, let your Third Grandfather arrange it for you!"

Lin Zhangqing was overjoyed and quickly nodded in agreement.

The Clan Leader continued, "Since it's still early, let's each take one and refine these storage bags to see if there are any good things in these spoils!"

Hearing this, everyone agreed happily, and then each took a storage bag and began to refine it.

Lin Zhangqing had done this kind of work the most and could be considered the most experienced, but he had only refined Qi Refining storage bags before. This was his first time refining a Foundation Establishment one, which made Lin Zhangqing look forward to it a little!

Although Lin Zhangqing's spiritual sense was not weak, compared to a real Foundation Establishment cultivator, it was still a bit worse, so he was the last one among everyone to complete the refining of the storage bag.

Seeing that there were already four piles of things on the ground, Lin Zhangqing also poured out everything in the storage bag in his hand.

Then everyone worked together to classify them. Because there were many people, they were sorted out in a while.

There were quite a lot of things. First, spirit stones. No top-grade spirit stones were found, but there were about three hundred mid-grade spirit stones and about forty thousand low-grade spirit stones. There were about thirty spiritual artifacts of various grades, including the two most precious ones, two storage-type top-grade defensive dharma treasures, two top-grade flying swords, three spirit boat spiritual artifacts, and more than twenty other mid-to-high-grade offensive and defensive spiritual artifacts.

One of the flying boats was the same as the Lin family's Wind-Running Boat, which belonged to a medium-sized flying boat, which could transport dozens of cultivators at a time. If squeezed, it could barely transport a hundred people. As for the remaining two, they were both small flying boats.

There were many pills, looking like one hundred and twenty bottles, many of which were pills for increasing mana for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Take the Spirit-Gathering Pill suitable for those in the early Foundation Establishment stage, for instance; such a pill is an advanced version of the Qi Gathering Pill used by those in the Qi Refining stage.

There were also Spirit Nurturing Pills suitable for mid Foundation Establishment cultivators, Stabilizing Spirit Pills suitable for late Foundation Establishment cultivators,

Returning Yang Pills for healing, and Lin Zhangqing even saw two bottles of Lotus Heart Pills, which was the kind he entrusted Sixth Grandfather to refine for the first time.

And some scattered pills with other special functions, which were also quite a few.

Next were more than one hundred and sixty jade boxes, as well as more than ten books and several jade slips.

The rest were daily necessities, clothes, and sundries. That was basically all the things.

In fact, most of the spiritual objects here were provided free of charge by the Li family's Clan Leader Li Youzong and External Affairs Elder Li Youtian! The owners of the other three storage bags were all early or mid Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the spiritual objects inside were not too many, especially the storage bags of those two early Foundation Establishment cultivators, which didn't have many things.

After looking at these spoils of war, everyone looked at the Clan Leader, waiting for him to come up with a distribution plan.

And the Clan Leader had been looking at the things on the ground. Lin Zhangqing guessed that he should be estimating their value!

After a while, the Clan Leader said, "Alright, I have a rough idea of how much these things are worth."

"By the way, just now on the flying boat, I also promised to give Little Qing'er an extra layer of spoils. Does anyone have any objections?"

The two Grandfathers shook their heads to indicate no objection, and Lin Zhangqing's father would certainly not oppose it!

Seeing that everyone agreed, the Clan Leader continued, "I feel that there is something quite suitable for Little Qing'er, which is definitely worth a layer of spoils."

After saying this, he took a cyan jade pendant and a golden seal from the pile of spiritual artifacts.

He said to Lin Zhangqing, "These two things can be considered the best among these spoils. Both are top-grade defensive spiritual artifacts and can automatically trigger three layers of defensive shields."

"You have seen the function and power yourself, so I don't need to say more. Now you choose one of the two, and it will be considered as offsetting the layer of spoils I promised you!"

Lin Zhangqing was quite happy when he heard this. After thanking the Clan Leader, he thought for a while and chose the golden seal.

In fact, when he saw this top-grade defensive spiritual artifact that was clearly metal-attributed, he had a thought in his heart.

The Clan Leader nodded and continued, "Everyone can read these books and jade slips on the flying boat when you have time. If you are interested, you can copy one yourself, and send the original to the clan's Scripture Pavilion!"

"That medium-sized flying boat will also be returned to the clan. It's too wasteful for one person to use a medium-sized flying boat. With one more medium-sized flying boat, it will be more convenient in the future."

"Also, choose two mid-grade spiritual artifacts, one offensive and one defensive, for Little Ting'er!"

"She guards the clan's Mountain-Protecting Great Array, allowing us to come out with peace of mind. Since the results of this battle are not small, she should also be given some benefits."

"As for the remaining spirit stones, pills, and spiritual artifacts, I have roughly estimated that each person can get spiritual objects worth about thirty-five thousand spirit stones."

"To save time, I will consider everyone's cultivation base and needs and distribute them accordingly. If there is any shortage, make it up with spirit stones. Do you have any objections?"

Everyone nodded one after another, indicating no objection.
