Compensation and Spoils, Black Abyss Ancient Gold
After someone was asked to pass on the message, everyone present fell silent.
Chen Nianzhi sighed inwardly, handed an account book to everyone, and then said.
"This time, nineteen Purple Mansion and two hundred and sixty Foundation Establishment perished in battle."
"More than a thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators have emerged, but most of them have been possessed by demonic energy. If this energy is not removed, these people may be in danger of becoming possessed by demons."
Upon hearing this, everyone showed a sorrowful expression. Although they had killed more than half of the Purple Mansion Devil Cultivator in the Demon Cave in this battle, they were not faring well themselves.
In this battle, the Heavenly Ruins Alliance mobilized more than twenty Purple Mansion cultivators and over two hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators, while the Purple Abyss Sect was roughly equal in strength.
The Azuregreen Immortal Sect and the Firmament Sword Sect went all out, mobilizing a total of eighty Purple Mansion and over seven hundred Foundation Establishment.
More than a hundred Purple Mansion cultivators and over a thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators went, but in the end, less than nine hundred Foundation Establishment survived, and only about a hundred of the more than one hundred and twenty Purple Mansion survived.
So many cultivators died in the battle, and the compensation alone amounts to millions of Spirit Stone —this price is far too heavy.
Everyone present looked distressed. Even for any of the four major Golden Core realm cultivators, bearing this expense would be a huge financial burden.
Seeing that everyone's expressions were not good, Jiang Linglong could only say, "To avoid disheartening everyone, we must not skimp on the compensation that is due."
"If the spirit medicine gardens of our four great immortal sects pooled their resources, we should be able to refine more than a dozen batches of Foundation-Building Pill every ten years."
"With my success rate in achieving the required number of pills, I can distribute the compensation to those who have reached the Foundation Establishment in just twenty years."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Jiang Linglong's Alchemy Art were the best in the Chu Kingdom, and having her refine the pills would indeed save a lot of costs.
With the issue of compensation for Foundation Establishment cultivators resolved, the group began to offer suggestions. The Taiwu True Person said, "Our Azuregreen Immortal Sect has several Wu-Earth Vein, which together can produce ten Five-Elements Treasure Crystal every sixty years."
Let's put up ten.
He calculated that the nineteen Purple Mansion cultivators would require thirty-eight Five-Elements Treasure Crystal as compensation, so he decided to offer ten as payment.
At this moment, the Great Elder of the Firmament Sword Sect shook his head. "This battle was started by your Azuregreen Immortal Sect, and it was the Old Devil of Taicang who betrayed us. Moreover, it was your Azuregreen Immortal Sect's team that suffered the most casualties."
"We've pooled our money, and nearly half of it is going to give you a pension. And you're only going to contribute ten coins?"
Taiwu True Person's old face flushed slightly. Of the nineteen Azuregreen Immortal Sect Purple Mansion cultivators who died in this battle, ten were from his Azure Immortal Sect.
The main reason for the heavy losses suffered by the Purple Mansion Azuregreen Immortal Sect Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Azure Old Devil Sect was that the Old Demon of Taicang betrayed them so unexpectedly.
Thinking of this, Taiwu True Person gritted his teeth and said, "I'll take responsibility for fifteen of the Five-Elements Treasure Crystal this time."
Taiwu True Person resolved the issue of fifteen crystals. The remaining people discussed it and decided that each family would contribute eight Five-Elements Treasure Crystal as compensation, thus completely resolving the compensation problem.
After dealing with the compensation matters, Chen Nianzhi said, "Now that a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators have been infected by demonic energy, we should try to find a way to remove it."
Upon hearing this, the group all showed solemn expressions. Nearly a thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators! This was the power that the Chu Kingdom and the Azuregreen Immortal Sect had accumulated over a hundred years.
Judging from the sheer number of them, if nothing unexpected happens, many Purple Mansion cultivators will surely emerge from among them in the future, and some may even become Golden Core realm Ancestors.
If the demonic energy is not removed, it will affect their cultivation, and many people may even be influenced by the demonic energy and fall into the Demonic Path.
Demonic energy corrodes the bones; if it were outside, it could be burned away with True Fire, but it is often difficult to deal with inside the body.
Because if extreme methods are used, the physical body and meridians will be damaged, and the demonic energy will be extracted, but the physical body will also be destroyed.
Therefore, there are only two common methods to remove demonic energy. The first is to use True Essence to refine it day and night, gradually expelling the demonic energy from the body.
This method is often a long process because the True Essence of Foundation Establishment cultivator is not as strong as their Law Power, making it even more difficult.
All the Foundation Establishment who participated in this battle spent two hours in the demonic energy, and their bodies were basically permeated by it. It would take them twenty years to remove the demonic energy.
Besides, cultivators have fought against Devil Cultivator for many years and have naturally developed other methods.
The most effective method among these is to prepare Demon-Cleansing Spirit Liquid, which neutralizes the Demon-Cleansing Spirit Liquid and washes away its demonic nature.
At that moment, Jiang Linglong's eyes swept over everyone, and then she said, "I have the formula for the Demon-Cleansing Spirit Liquid."
"What is the cost?" Elder Qian asked, his face beaming with joy.
"Generally, one serving costs one thousand Spirit Stone, but if you prepare thousands of servings, the cost per serving can be reduced to around six hundred Spirit Stone."
She hesitated for a moment, then said, "There are too many cultivators who need the Demon-Cleansing Spirit Liquid for this battle, so the demand for spirit medicine is huge. I'm afraid the Chu Kingdom alone cannot gather enough."
After a brief discussion, the group concluded that the Foundation Establishment cultivator had not spent more than three hours in the Demon Cave during the battle, and the demonic energy within his body was not excessive. They estimated that a single dose of Demon-Cleansing Spirit Liquid should be sufficient to cleanse him.
If each serving costs 600 Spirit Stone, even if you prepare a thousand servings, the cost would only be around 600,000 Spirit Stone.
The price was split equally among the four major Golden Core realm cultivators, so the cost wasn't too high, and anyone present could afford it.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the matter was settled.
After dealing with these matters, everyone began to tally up the spoils of the battle.
Strictly speaking, attacking Devil Cultivator is actually a thankless and arduous task, far less profitable than attacking the Demon Race.
Because the demonic Demon Treasure Devil Cultivator are vicious and ruthless, prolonged use can corrupt a person's soul with demonic energy Sha Qi, affecting their personality and character.
Therefore, most righteous cultivators who obtain Demon Treasure will destroy them.
However, in this battle, the group killed 20,000 to 30,000 Devil Cultivator, nearly wiping out half of the Devil Cultivator in the Demon Cave.
Although they left in a hurry, the group still managed to seize nearly ten thousand Storage Bag, many of which contained treasures.
They took inventory and found that the seized Spirit Stone amounted to more than 500,000, and the various Law Artifact and heavenly materials and earthly treasures were worth more than one million Spirit Stone.
This doesn't even include the millions of Blood Crystal and a large number of vicious and insidious Devil Artifact.
In addition, they also seized the Blood-Robed Old Devil's Storage Bag and Yan Old Devil's Demon Treasure black sword.
In the Blood-Robed Old Devil's Storage Bag, they found a Tier 4 Low-Grade Demon Treasure and a Tier 4 heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Yan Old Devil's black demonic sword was a Tier 4 immortal sword, forged entirely from Black Abyss Ancient Gold and infused with a large amount of demonic Sha Qi.
Jiang Linglong looked at the several Demon Treasure, picked up the black magical sword, and said, "Although these Demon Treasure cannot be used, we can melt them down to make materials and take them back to refine Law Treasure."
"I'll take this immortal sword; you can divide the rest among yourselves."
