A Super Bountiful Harvest

The good show didn't last long.

The gargoyles were so fast that even Canossa, a pure Strength Extraordinary, couldn't dodge them, let alone the group of Red Robe Mage.

After several wounded soldiers were killed in a single exchange, the fifth-tier mages led by Kidd also failed to last more than a few rounds.

Although they knew it was Rein who was behind it, and they were filled with hatred, wanting to take him down with them in their final moments, Canossa wouldn't allow them to harm Rein, and the gargoyles wouldn't give them the chance.

The gargoyles endured the spell damage throughout the close-quarters combat, giving the Red Robe Mage no chance to catch their breath.

Once the magic shield broke, the entire army was wiped out in just three to five minutes.

After the uninvited guest was killed, Rein ordered the gargoyle to squat back on the stone pillar.

Then he happily ran off to "loot the corpse".

Feeling a little embarrassed to keep it all to himself, Rein called out, "Miss Canossa, aren't you interested in seeing what treasures these Archmage have brought?"

"No. They're all your spoils, so of course they're all yours."

Canossa looked at Rein with a smile, showing no intention whatsoever of dividing the spoils.

Seeing these ten red-robed archmages lying in a pool of blood, her expression was quite complicated. There was no pity at all, just a little emotion.

Just a minute or two ago, Kid Miller, the patriarch of the Miller Family and the first city lord of City of Radiance, was swaggering around. Now he's a corpse with half his head caved in. What a cruel twist of fate.

Canossa suddenly felt a sense of awe.

A mere few alchemical products were enough to cause the deaths of these Red Robe Archmage who stood at the pinnacle of the Transcendent.

Just how powerful was that ancient demon god?

The path to Transcendent is indeed endless.

She once thought that "legend" was the end of the Transcendent, but now, step by step, she has touched that threshold.

Upon closer inspection, what I thought was the destination seemed to be just a slightly larger mountain.

With a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains, the scenery is breathtaking.

But it's still a long way from the view above the clouds.

But why were there powerful beings at the level of Gods and Demons in ancient times, and why are humans becoming weaker and weaker now?

After a long period of stunned silence, Canossa's thoughts drifted back to reality.

"Wow, we're rich! We're rich!"

The cheers of the little money-grubber could be heard from time to time. Canossa stared intently at the cheerful little man, and a smile grew wider and wider in her eyes.

This young Doctor Rein gave her so many surprises.

On the other hand, while he was looting the corpse, Rein suddenly had the feeling that he had won the lottery.

Having once acquired storage rings from Baron Morin and Piscis, he felt like he had suddenly become rich, even though he was once penniless.

But compared to the immediate gains, it's nothing at all.

How could two low-level Transcendent beings compare to these Red Robe Archmage?

Mages are among the wealthiest people, and the wealth possessed by these Fourth Tier and fifth-tier Archmage is something even some high-ranking nobles would envy.

Rein deftly removed everything from the corpse: storage rings, staffs, magic necklaces, crystal balls, and magic tomes.

Every piece of equipment they wore was a renowned high-level magical artifact in the spellcaster's realm.

He didn't need to recognize them; the "Mind Core" stored all the information about these named devices.

Unfortunately, Rein is a melee fighter, so he can hardly use any of those skills.

But that didn't stop him from automatically converting the equipment into gold coins in his mind: [Annihilation Power Staff] 30 million, [Kalunxiu's Jellyfish Ring] 800,000, [Supreme Cyclone Bracelet] 3 million.

Then look at the storage rings; they're all large-capacity Storage Ring.

Although Storage Ring are a magical specialty of City of Radiance, large-capacity Space Ring like this one, with a volume exceeding ten cubic meters, are truly rare.

Even top nobles at the level of Grand Duke or Prince in the two great empires thousands of miles away from City of Radiance might not be able to wear such a fine item.

The storage rings of the ten red-robed Archmage were Rein with the various metal currencies alone. A rough estimate put their total value at over a hundred million gold coins.

Of course, gold coins are only a small part of the assets.

Those high-level magical items are the real valuable goods, the "hard currency" in trade among High-tier Extraordinary!

A large quantity of various monster cores, colored gems, high-level potion ingredients, rare spellbooks, spell scrolls, and high-level healing and magical potions.

These guys brought a lot of consumables with them in order to launch a surprise attack on the Kolman Tribe 'Central Courtyard Tribe.

Now, it all benefits Rein.

Of course, what surprised him the most was the spoils found on the corpse of Kidd, the patriarch of the "Miller Family".

On the corpse's right hand was a cat's eye ring that shimmered with seven colors—the famous holy artifact, the Great Elemental Ring, a heirloom of the Miller Family!

It possesses miraculous effects: legend has it that it can increase the wearer's spell power by 30%, mana regeneration speed by at least 50%, reduce elemental gathering speed by 40%, and casting speed...

This is God-tier Equipment that almost every mage dreams of.

Kidd's Storage Ring, on the other hand, boasts an enormous space of over thirty cubic meters.

Rein had heard that a storage ring with a capacity of twenty cubic meters had appeared in the City of Radiance Auction House a few years ago, but that storage ring had been auctioned off for a sky-high price of tens of millions of gold coins.

The spoils inside the ring were so luxurious that even the uncultured and unsophisticated Rein couldn't keep his eyes open.

Rows and rows of various high-grade potions

Whole cases of recovery potions.

There were also various high-level loot items he had collected before.

Items that can be stored in the storage space of such an important person are all exquisite and priceless.

It was like a poor boy suddenly inheriting a huge conglomerate. Looking at his spoils, Rein felt his breathing become heavy.

"Wow, I really became rich overnight!"

Although he doesn't need these mage resources, once the territory is established, he can easily equip an elite Mage Corps of dozens of people!

Since he was eating alone, Rein didn't have the nerve to go through the trouble of taking a more detailed count.

After a quick inventory, he put all the spoils into these storage rings and then into the sturdy leather bag he carried with him.

After glancing at Canossa, who seemed completely uninterested in sharing the spoils, Ray praised the boss's generosity in his heart.

The lady's injuries hadn't been treated yet, and he didn't want to linger, so he decided to go up the steps to continue the suturing surgery.

But suddenly, as he passed the area where the skeletons had been lying, Rein's gaze swept across it and he seemed to see something glittering.

"Huh, what's this?"

He walked over.

The Red Robe Mage's large-scale magical attack just now caused a great commotion, almost affecting the entire temple.

Those rotten bones that would turn to ashes at the slightest touch were also completely reduced to ashes in this great battle.

Within this layer of ash, which resembled wood ash, Rein saw two glowing spheres.

The remains have all turned to ashes; anything that has survived to this day must be extraordinary.

Rein tried it and, finding no danger, picked it up.

These are two glass spheres, each about the size of a fist, one purple and the other milky white.

With a gentle touch, the purple glass ball still felt slightly static.

"Huh?"

Rein was startled by this feeling.

The moment he touched it, he felt his lightning-type battle qi surge and become agitated.

It's like encountering a magnet.

Upon closer inspection, one could see wisps of mysterious purple patterns floating inside the glass sphere. They resembled abstract dragon patterns from bronze artifacts of the Warring States period, with bold lines outlining a design that conformed to some mysterious law.

"This looks like Divine Power Totem?"

Rein had been staying in Kolman's courtyard for a while and had gained a thorough understanding of the tribe's totem culture.

Seeing this, he was almost 100% certain that the purple patterns inside the glass ball were some kind of totem.

The comparison with "Mind Core" is even more direct, immediately identifying it as a "thunder attribute totem".

He also knew that, apart from the totems of the elders being "external objects," the totems on the other Kolman people were all painted.

"Could it be that the [Thunder Totem] has been lost?!"

Suddenly remembering something, Rein's pupils contracted sharply.

The thought filled him with an even more restless excitement than when he had just acquired the spoils of ten Red Robe Archmage, and his heart began to pound wildly.

After examining the purple totem bead carefully, he became increasingly certain that his guess was correct!

This is a legendary cultivation treasure that is no less valuable than the "Divine Power Crystal"!

Whether you're cultivating battle qi or magic, having this is like having an "automatic cultivation cheat" with you at all times.

It not only grants you exceptionally high elemental affinity, but also helps you absorb corresponding Elemental Power anytime, anywhere, increasing and restoring your battle aura!

"Holy crap. Am I having such bad luck today?!"

Rein felt like he was incredibly lucky today.

The "Divine Power Crystal" was still too far away for him. It was uncertain whether he would even be able to advance to the fifth rank and use that thing in his lifetime.

But this totem can be used immediately!

If it were any other Divine Power Totem, Rein might not have been so surprised, but it was precisely the [Thunder Totem] that matched his fighting spirit!

He can now breathe directly into the "Abyssal Demonic Qi," and his cultivation efficiency is now ten times higher than before.

Even so, the efficiency of relying on meditation and breathing is not particularly fast. This is because lightning element is a rare element, and although its effects are strong, its cultivation is many times slower than that of the mainstream five elements.

The combination of fast and slow speeds cancels each other out, resulting in less than satisfactory efficiency.

But!

If you have this [Thunder Totem], it can form something similar to a lightning electromagnetic field, automatically gathering the surrounding lightning elements.

That would increase the efficiency of meditation several times over!

Moreover, even when he is not meditating, this totem will automatically operate, helping him absorb lightning elements and increase his battle qi.

This means that his fighting spirit will continuously increase 24 hours a day.

His extremely high elemental affinity will also make his future advancement easier, and the damage of his lightning-type battle aura will increase dramatically!

The value of this thing is immeasurable for Transcendent individuals!

Looking at the totem bead in his hand, Rein suddenly felt it was all worth it.

Although I was swallowed by that Giant Flower and nearly died several times, I thought I was incredibly unlucky. But having obtained this, as long as I can get out of here alive, I'll definitely make a fortune!

"No wonder it was lost; it was in this temple."

The more Rein looked at it, the more he loved it, wishing he could immediately absorb it with his own blood.

Although he is not Kolman people, based on his current friendship with the Kolman Tribe, neither the Great Shaman Mafat nor the elders would mind him using the [Thunder Totem].

Because this thing isn't a consumable item; it can be passed down indefinitely. When Rein dies of old age, this thing can be reclaimed by the Kohlman Clan.

At the same time, he also picked up another one.

Now that the purple one has been identified as the [Thunder Totem], the other one must also be some kind of lost divine power inheritance totem.

But after carefully examining the white totem bead, Rein was puzzled.

It contains hundreds or even thousands of totems that resemble simple line drawings of various Warcraft creatures, none of which are the same.

This is not any kind of elemental totem; it's more like a special Divine Power Totem, such as the [Strength Totem] or the [Insect Totem].

Rein looked at it for a while, but still couldn't understand its effects.

At this time,

On the altar, Canossa stared at Rein blankly for a long time, looking slightly surprised.

"Doctor Rein, are you all better yet? I'm still waiting for you to treat my injuries."

"They're here."

After thinking about it, Rein put the totem bead away.

He couldn't understand it himself, but if he could go out and show it to Wudo, they would understand.
