Hearing Meng Nanxi's words, Jiang Chuan looked at the Spirit Confusing Smoke in his hand and recalled the knowledge Wu Jing had taught in class.

Spirit Confusing Smoke was a drug specifically targeting the soul. Cultivators who had not cultivated a Yang Spirit only needed to take one whiff to fall into slumber.

"With these two jars of Spirit Confusing Smoke, we might even be able to ambush a Sixth Realm demon beast. We've struck it rich this time."

As Jiang Chuan spoke, he opened another Backpack.

The entire Backpack was filled with broken weapons.

There were Broken Swords, broken sabers, shattered spearheads, and a damaged stone lamp.

"Could these all be weapons belonging to Human Race powerhouses who once fought the White Peacock Demon King?" Jiang Chuan voiced his guess.

"Most likely."

Meng Nanxi picked up a Broken Sword and examined its Sword Body, which flickered with purple radiance.

"The purple glow is brilliant. This sword most likely contains Purple Jade Iron. The remaining weapons and Dharma treasures probably contain all kinds of precious materials as well."

"We're rich! We're really rich this time!" Song Zhiyan was beside herself with excitement.

Jiang Chuan opened two more Backpacks and found that they too contained weapon and Dharma treasure fragments.

"If we melt all of this down, even if there isn't enough for each of us to forge a Dharma treasure, it'll still be enough to upgrade our weapons."

Jiang Chuan was also extremely happy. Treasures such as jade iron and crystals could not only bear formations and talismans, but could also amplify spiritual power.

Even incorporating some jade iron into a weapon could greatly enhance the power of his divine abilities.

Then, beneath everyone's watchful eyes, Jiang Chuan opened the final Backpack.

Four fruits came into view.

The fruits were the size of fists, white as jade, with wisps of golden threads across their surfaces that glittered beneath the sunlight.

A rich fragrance wafted from the fruits, making everyone's mouths water.

"Golden Thread White Jade Fruit! These are Golden Thread White Jade Fruits!" Song Zhiyan cried out in surprise.

Jiang Chuan also looked astonished. "So these are the Golden Thread White Jade Fruits mentioned in ancient texts—the Spirit Medicine that can strengthen one's foundation!"

"These fruits were most likely prepared by the White Peacock Demon King for its soon-to-be-born children. Now they've fallen into our hands." Song Zhiyi's lips curled upward.

"Thank you, White Peacock Demon King."

After saying that, Jiang Chuan took out the four Golden Thread White Jade Fruits.

Beneath the four Golden Thread White Jade Fruits was a cylindrical black object.

"A tree stump? No, this is a section of bamboo."

Jiang Chuan quickly recognized it as a segment of black bamboo.

He then reached out for the black bamboo, intending to take it out.

Cold!

So cold!

The instant his palm touched the black bamboo, an icy chill spread through his entire body.

Jiang Chuan felt as though he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Hm?"

At that moment, he discovered that the spiritual power in his dantian, cultivated from Wrath of the Firmament, seemed to have come alive.

It kept surging within his dantian, wanting to fly out of it.

He had encountered something similar when he obtained the Golden Crystal.

With the Golden Crystal, he had successfully cultivated Falling Cloud Thunder to major accomplishment!

"What kind of bamboo joint is this?"

Meng Nanxi looked curiously at the bamboo joint Jiang Chuan had taken from the Backpack.

"I don't know." Song Zhiyi shook her head.

Kang Bo and the others also shook their heads.

Seeing that none of them knew, Jiang Chuan continued looking through the final treasures at the bottom of the Backpack.

At the bottom was a pile of five-colored soil.

Every grain was distinct and crystal-clear. Rather than soil, it looked more like jade stones the size of rice grains.

"This seems to be the legendary Five Elements Soil." Meng Nanxi inspected the five-colored soil.

"Five Elements Soil? This is the Five Elements Soil recorded in ancient texts, condensed from Five Elements Essence!"

Jiang Chuan looked at the Five Elements Soil, somewhat excited.

Upon reaching the Fifth Realm, one had to begin nurturing the five energies within the chest.

According to ancient texts, nurturing the five energies within the chest required a great amount of Five Elements Essence.

Jiang Chuan and the others then began dividing the treasures.

Dragon Nation's military had long stipulated that spoils obtained by non-military personnel from killing enemies and demon beasts on the battlefield belonged to the supernatural beings themselves to handle.

Jiang Chuan and the others first divided the Five Elements Soil and Silver Leaf Tree branches into five portions, one for each person.

When it came time to divide the Golden Thread White Jade Fruits, everyone was stumped.

How were five people supposed to divide four fruits?

"I've eaten Golden Thread White Jade Fruits before. Even if I eat a fourth one, the effect will be negligible."

Meng Nanxi spoke up. "The four of you can divide the Golden Thread White Jade Fruits among yourselves."

"A fourth one?"

Once Jiang Chuan processed that, he felt that the Golden Light around Meng Nanxi was blinding beyond measure!

An Demon King could only prepare four Golden Thread White Jade Fruits for its own offspring, yet Meng Nanxi had already eaten three herself!

He felt that he could no longer call Meng Nanxi Rich Woman Meng in the future. He should call her Meng the Richest Woman!

After Jiang Chuan and the others each received a Golden Thread White Jade Fruit, they began dividing the remaining weapon and Dharma treasure fragments, Spirit Confusing Smoke, and bamboo joint.

Kang Bo said that he had not helped much this time, and already felt embarrassed to have received so many treasures, so he only took two weapon fragments.

Jiang Chuan did not stand on ceremony either, directly stating that he wanted the bamboo joint to study.

Meng Nanxi and the others did not object. Whether it was planning tactics or killing enemies, Jiang Chuan had put forth the greatest effort.

In fact, if not for Jiang Chuan's suggestion, they might already have reported it to the military.

If the military had stepped in, none of these treasures would have fallen to them at all.

In the end, Jiang Chuan got his wish and obtained the bamboo joint, the damaged stone lamp, eight weapon fragments, and one jar of Spirit Confusing Smoke.

As compensation for not receiving a Golden Thread White Jade Fruit, the other jar of Spirit Confusing Smoke went to Meng Nanxi.

Satisfied to the fullest, Jiang Chuan packed all the treasures into his Backpack and slung it over his shoulder.

"Song, report what happened here to the military."

Hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Song Zhiyan nodded. As she reported to the military, she spoke at the same time.

"Tell me, Vice Cult Master Chu from that Immortal Slaughter Divine Cult schemed for so long, only for all the treasures to end up in our hands. Do you think he'll die of rage?"

"Probably not."

"True. After all, he's a Seventh Realm Cultivator. A cultivator like that ought to remain calm and unflinching even if Mount Tai collapsed before him."

"I mean, he might not survive the White Peacock Demon King."

"..."

Although Jiang Chuan did not know Vice Cult Master Chu's strength, he figured it was inferior to the White Peacock Demon King's. Otherwise, he would not have had to flee.

The White Peacock Demon King had been pursuing him for days without returning. It was clearly a fight to the death.

Under such circumstances, Jiang Chuan felt that Vice Cult Master Chu was most likely doomed.

Otherwise...

They would most likely be the ones doomed.

After all, they had ruined the plans of a Seventh Realm Cultivator!

If a Seventh Realm Cultivator sought revenge, all five of them would die!

Roar!

Just then, a roar rang out.

Jiang Chuan looked toward the sound and saw an enormous wild boar, entirely black, its bristles like blades, nearly four meters long, charging toward them.

Beside the wild boar followed six or seven smaller boars about two meters long, their bodies covered in blood.

"Not good! The bloody scent of the five of us has attracted demon beasts. Everyone, prepare for battle! Kang Bo!"

Jiang Chuan shouted, grabbing his great lance.
