They had come in high spirits, only to leave disappointed.
Not only had Wan Ze's Divine Kingdom rapidly fallen into ruin, but before the Immortal-grade Zerg Mother Nest teleported to the battlefield, it had converted most of its high-grade materials into Immortal-grade Zerg warriors.
In the end, Chu He only found several rather special high-grade plants and some rare ores from Zerg territory within this ruined Divine Kingdom.
Though there were many varieties, their overall value was extremely low.
After searching an entire Divine Kingdom, his total gains did not even amount to ten Hunyuan Units...

In the end, Chu He could only transfer all those plants and minerals into the White Jade Wine Pot and hand them over to A-Fu for study.
