She took out several jade boxes from the storage ring. The jade boxes were completely white, with fine runes engraved on the surface. They were specially used to store Jade Slip, which could isolate Spiritual Qi from the outside world.

Several people worked together to sort out the scattered Jade Slip and put them into jade boxes. Qin Tiexin, Liu Suifeng and Du Heng were responsible for searching, Xu Ying and Ling Shuyao were responsible for sorting, and Lin Chuan was tidying up while paying attention to the movements around them.

Qin Tiexin took a few cursory glances. Those Jade Slip were divided into different categories, and they had everything. There were the basic Cultivation Method of the Qi Refinement Realm, the Swordsmanship sword skills of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and the Divine Ability secret skills of the Golden Core Realm. And the Jade Slip of more than a dozen Nascent Soul Realm were individually collected by Ling Shuyao in the most precious jade box.

After working for nearly half an hour, she sorted out more than three hundred Jade Slip. Ling Shuyao. Holding those boxes of Jade Slip, her eyes narrowed into crescents. If it wasn't for the wrong place, she would have looked through them on the spot.

"It's too late to go back and look again." Xu Ying reminded with a smile.

Ling Shuyao handed the jade box to Xu Ying with some reluctance. All the trophies will be temporarily kept by Xu Ying. This is an old rule in the team. Xu Ying is careful and understands pharmacology, so it is safest to put things in her place.

"I know, I'm just... happy." Ling Shuyao paused and added in a low voice, "You may not understand, but the value of these inheritance Jade Slip is unimaginable. What's more, this is a complete inheritance of a sect. I think there is a lot of cultivation experience in it, which is even more precious. If these things were leaked out, it would be enough to cause a bloody storm in Heavenly South Domain."

Liu Suifeng came over and said, "We really don't understand. But we know how to divide money. After Jade Slip is sold, can we go to the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion for a good meal?"

"I only know how to eat. I haven't seen your cultivation improve much." Du Heng choked him.

Liu Suifeng was not to be outdone. "Only when you eat well can you have the strength to practice. What do you know?"

The two of them were bickering, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Seeing that nothing was missing on the second floor, several people went up to the third floor.

The third floor was even more messy than the second floor, with rubble and broken wood all over the ground, and the floors in some places had collapsed, exposing the dark cavities below. Mixed in among them were scattered Spirit Stone, Law Artifact, and jade bottles and jade boxes for storing elixirs.

The traces left by the war can be seen everywhere, but there are also many things that have not been destroyed. Spirit medicine and Spirit Stone are mixed in the ashes, and the cassocks and Law Artifact are half buried. Some of the surfaces are cracked, and some are still shimmering. There is a short sword stuck diagonally on a broken pillar, the sword body is red, and there is a faint heat wave emanating from it. It is obviously not an ordinary thing.

Lin Chuan said, "Don't look too closely. Put away all the spiritual things first. It's not safe here. Move out and divide it up."

Several people speeded up and swept the objects with spiritual properties into Storage Bag. There were piles of Spirit Stone, more than a dozen Law Artifact, and there were also many pill bottles and boxes.

Xu Ying collects and sorts them in a neat way. Du Heng and Qin Tiexin specialize in carrying heavy things, loading them one by one.

Qin Tiexin is very strong. When he encounters something buried deep, he directly lifts the broken wall with one hand and takes out the things underneath. There is a jade box under the floor, which weighs several hundred kilograms at least. He grabs the edge with one hand and lifts it up. The jade box is pulled out from the rubble, bringing up a cloud of dust.

Liu Suifeng looked at him and was speechless. "Senior Brother Ming's strength is still so scary."

"Go on." Qin Tiexin handed over the jade box.

Everyone made a rough estimate and found that even if the items on the third floor suffered huge losses in the battle, the value of the collected items alone was around 200,000 Spirit Stone. In addition to the hundreds of Jade Slip on the second floor, the entire team's harvest had exceeded four to five million Spirit Stone. For the six Foundation Establishment monks, this was a number that could drive people crazy with envy.

"I didn't expect it." Liu Suifeng couldn't help but sigh, "At the end of this battle, we became the final winners."

Lin Chuan is not as easy as him.

As he collected it, he paid attention to the movement downstairs. Gradually, the voices of people began to be heard in the distance. Some of the monks who had escaped before seemed to have returned.

There were scattered footsteps, approaching from the outside direction of Pure Land Chan Temple. Some people were calling their companions' names, some were talking loudly, and there was the sound of Law Artifact colliding.

"That's almost it." Lin Chuan lowered his voice, "Let's go, don't let anyone see you."

Liu Suifeng stuffed the last few scattered pieces of Spirit Stone into Storage Bag, and Xu Ying also put away the last few jade bottles. Du Heng hung the epee on his back and moved his arms.

As for Chen Chen, Qian Donglai and others who were unconscious on the ground, Lin Chuan did not move.

They have Law Artifact body protection on them, so they will be fine. However, if they are woken up at this time, others will inevitably think that the last group of people to leave took away resources. Rather than causing trouble, it is better to let them continue to lie down.

Anyway, with their status, people will naturally come to look for them.

"Escape from the north gate." Lin Chuan said, "There is a road over there that leads directly to the Vast Waves Sea."

Qin Tiexin picked up the Zen staff and walked in front of the team. His physical strength has recovered a little, and his steps are steadier than before. His spiritual power has recovered a lot. As long as he doesn't encounter enemies like Xuanli or Xiao Wan, there will be no problems.

Several people lined up and left the north gate.

Outside the door was a tall jungle tree, blocking out the sky and the sun. The overlapping crowns of the trees blocked the gray skylight completely, leaving only tiny specks of light leaking through and shining on the decaying leaves.

Qin Tiexin walks in the front, pointing his Zen staff on the ground, both to explore the way and to defend himself. Liu Suifeng and Du Heng are on the left and right, Liu Suifeng's array plate has been held in his hand again, and the faint light is flickering. Ling Shuyao is protecting Xu Ying in the middle, Lin Chuan is standing behind, pressing the hilt of the sword.

The six people, no one bothered to talk, quietly and quickly got into the depths of the forest. The shadows of the trees passed over them like silent waves. The Pure Land Chan Temple behind them became farther and farther away, and was eventually completely obscured by the layers of trees.

After walking far away, Liu Suifeng whispered, "Are we really just leaving like this? Those people are inside--"

"They chose it themselves." Lin Chuan interrupted him, "We have no obligation to finish it for them."

The six people walked quickly, and soon they disappeared into the vast forest.

Occasionally, you will encounter some low-level Demon Beast in the dense forest. Most of them are wild animals with low cultivation level. Some are lying in the bushes, and some are hanging on the trees.

When I saw a few of them approaching, I avoided them from a distance. A few of the bolder ones poked their heads behind the tree, but after being glanced at by Qin Tiexin, they shrank back again.

I also met two groups of monks on the road. They were both retreating from the direction of Pure Land Chan Temple. They were in small groups, and some of them were injured. They looked at each other from a distance and went around each other without any intersection.

No one wants to cause trouble in a place like this.

Perhaps the noise from the previous battle was so shocking that even the large Demon Beast deep in the forest was frightened away.

In the direction of Pure Land Chan Temple, you can occasionally see flashes of spiritual light. It lights up and goes out. It should be that later monks were rummaging through the ruins for remaining resources, or there might be some dispute.

But that has nothing to do with them. They have already got almost everything they need to get on the third floor.
