Chapter 95: Distributing Spiritual Objects

After gathering all the spiritual objects from the cave dwelling into one place and counting them all, the next step was for the three of them to start distributing the spiritual objects they had obtained.

The three of them had an agreement beforehand: Old Daoist Chen was the initiator of this operation to explore the senior's cave dwelling, and it was thanks to him that the three of them found this place. After entering the cave dwelling, he was to take half of the spiritual objects inside, and the remaining half would be divided equally between Song Qingming and Zhou Tangjin.

Zhou Tangjin had the highest cultivation level and contributed the most when breaking the array. Although Song Qingming's contribution in weakening the restriction was more important, the three of them had already agreed on this matter beforehand, so it was not easy for him to say much now.

Among the spiritual objects obtained in the cave dwelling, the most valuable were the few second-level magic tools. One of the green flying sword magic tools had a quality that had reached the middle grade of the second level, and it could be sold for at least more than a thousand spirit stones in the market. According to the rule that Old Daoist Chen could choose first, this flying sword soon fell into his hands.

Looking at the green-glowing second-level flying sword in his hand, Old Daoist Chen played with it happily for a few times, then carefully put it into his storage bag.

Zhou Tangjin originally also wanted the middle-grade flying sword in Old Daoist Chen's hands, but helplessly, Old Daoist Chen had the priority to choose spiritual objects, so he could only settle for the next best thing and chose to take the other two second-level low-grade magic tools.

Song Qingming did not have much interest in second-level magic tools and only got one of the four second-level magic tools that was of poorer quality, which was the golden bronze mirror that the cave dwelling owner had used as an array eye.

This bronze mirror had a relatively single attack capability. After being refined, it could only emit a golden light divine ability to fight the enemy, which could be considered a relatively ordinary second-level magic tool, worth about five or six hundred spirit stones on the market.

However, even so, second-level magic tools were still very rare to see in a small market like Qinghe Market.

In the cultivation world, no matter which cultivation skill it was, it was a very difficult thing to raise it to the second level. Among the thousands of cultivators in the entire Qinghe County, there were at least one or two hundred artifact refiners, and only one person could raise their artifact refining to the second level.

Because of this, any second-level magic tool that appeared in Qinghe Market would cause a sensation nearby, and such things could even attract Foundation Establishment cultivators from other places to the market.

To use a second-level magic tool, a Qi Refining cultivator's cultivation level must at least reach the ninth layer of Qi Refining to barely refine it. Song Qingming's cultivation level was still some distance away from the ninth layer of Qi Refining, so wanting to use a second-level magic tool was still a matter too early for him.

Compared to these second-level high-grade magic tools that he could not yet use, Song Qingming still preferred the second-level talismans that he could use now.

The usage requirements for second-level talismans for Qi Refining cultivators were not as high as those for second-level magic tools. As long as the cultivation level reached the late stage of Qi Refining, one could use second-level talismans. However, how much power a second-level talisman could exert depended on the cultivator's own spiritual power.

These five talismans were all second-level low-grade talismans, and their values were not too different. Song Qingming took two of the more useful ones, and the other two were taken by Old Daoist Chen. Because Zhou Tangjin had taken two good second-level magic tools earlier, he only ended up with one second-level talisman with less power.

The value of a second-level low-grade talisman was at least two hundred spirit stones on the market. Over the past few years in Qinghe Market, Song Qingming had also secretly obtained a second-level low-grade talisman for self-defense, relying on the convenience of his shop to collect spiritual objects.

Spiritual objects above the second level were not as easy to obtain as first-level spiritual objects. Even in Guiyun Market, most of the time, you might not be able to buy them at any time even if you had spirit stones, let alone a small market like Qinghe Market.

Such spiritual objects that could easily change the situation in a cultivator's battle were mostly bought by cultivators soon after they appeared in the market, especially those Qi Refining families, who all liked to treasure a few second-level talismans as the family's foundation inheritance.

The Song family had been passed down for two hundred years, and Mount Funiu also collected two second-level talismans. Such family treasures could not be easily used unless the family was in a life-or-death crisis.

Even though Song Qingming had served as a family elder in recent years and knew some important things in the family, he only knew that these two talismans had always been controlled by the family head, and he did not even know what kind of talismans they were.

For other cultivation techniques and classics, spiritual objects whose value was difficult to judge, the three of them each got what they wanted. When they encountered techniques that they all wanted, they even spent some time copying one for each other.

According to the agreement with Old Daoist Feng beforehand, Song Qingming also successfully obtained the spiritual sense cultivation technique he wanted most. After checking it briefly with his spiritual sense, he threw the bamboo slip of this technique into his storage bag. Now that he was busy distributing spiritual objects, he had no time to open it and look at it carefully, so he could only wait until he went back to study it slowly.

After distributing the spiritual objects obtained in the cave dwelling, the three of them brought the senior's corpse outside the cave dwelling, intending to find a place with beautiful scenery on the top of the mountain and dig a pit so that the owner of this cave dwelling could be buried in peace.

Old Daoist Chen took out a Feng Shui compass magic tool, turned around the top of the mountain, found a place with birds singing and flowers smelling and good Feng Shui, and decided to bury this senior's corpse here.

I don't know if it was because they obtained too many spiritual objects this time, but Zhou Tangjin, who had always been impatient, surprisingly did not say much this time, and even happily took the initiative to take on the arduous task of digging the pit.

Zhou Tangjin took out a wide giant sword and slashed hard at the ground. A burst of dust flew up on the ground, and a not-so-small pit appeared.

Zhou Tangjin gave a loud shout, and the giant sword in his hand began to dance in the pit. Soon, he dug out a deep pit large enough to bury a person, and then placed this once majestic Foundation Establishment senior into this pit.

When moving the corpse, seeing that the quality of the magic robe worn by this senior seemed to be quite good, Zhou Tangjin said with some movement:

"The quality of this magic robe is not bad. If it is taken to the market, it is estimated that it can be sold for a hundred spirit stones. It is really a waste to bury it in the ground. Should we take it off and distribute it among ourselves?"

Even though he had already obtained so many good things just now, Zhou Tangjin actually had designs on the magic robe on the owner of this cave dwelling. Song Qingming, who was on the side, thought that this guy was a bit too greedy.

"Eh, when we took off the senior's storage bag, we had already promised to properly bury the senior's corpse. Daoist Zhou, please don't cause extra trouble." Seeing Zhou Tangjin so greedy, Old Daoist Chen could not stand it anymore and stopped Zhou Tangjin with an unhappy face.

Seeing that Old Daoist Feng and Song Qingming both had ugly faces, Zhou Tangjin smiled awkwardly and said: "Hehe, I just mentioned it. If Brother Chen is unwilling, forget it. Don't take it to heart."

After Zhou Tangjin finished speaking, he jumped up from the pit and reached out to pat Song Qingming on the shoulder.

"Daoist Song, watching you cast spells in the cave just now, you must be cultivating an earth-attribute technique. Next, please do me a favor and cast a spell to help me cover the dirt."

Song Qingming did not want to say much to him, nodded and agreed to this matter. After all, the most important thing now was to help this senior be buried in peace.

After a burst of rumbling loud noises, a grave mound about a zhang wide completely buried the deep pit that Zhou Tangjin had just dug.

Under the leadership of Old Daoist Chen, the three of them stepped forward one after another to pay their respects to this senior, and then set off to leave this place.
