Dividing the Treasure

Shortly after entering the cave, Shen Ge encountered a formation. After examining it and finding it incomprehensible, he directly sprinkled Ji Rufeng's blood onto it.

Soon, a gap appeared in the formation, revealing more than thirty boxes inside, some made of ebony, some of jade, some of refined iron...

Without opening each box to check, Shen Ge simply waved his hand and collected all the boxes, then immediately turned and walked back.

At the same time, more than a dozen talismans fell from his body, including Burst Talisman, Blazing Fire Talisman, and so on, but the most important one was the Purification Talisman.

After exiting the cave, explosions continued inside, and boulders crashed to the ground with a deafening roar. As the last wave of spiritual energy swept through, it became difficult to find any remaining spiritual energy in the entire cave.

"Go, leave immediately."

The two flew directly into the sky and quickly disappeared into the horizon.

Before long, the island lord appeared at the foot of the mountain. His expression changed constantly as he looked at the cave that had suddenly appeared and was now in ruins. Finally, with a dark face, he turned around and returned to his palace.

"Huang Yue, pack your things, let's leave."

Half an incense stick later, two more figures flew away from Crab Island and disappeared into the vast sea.

Twenty thousand miles from that small island, Shen Ge and his companion landed on a deserted island to rest.

"Flying 20,000 miles in one go must be exhausting."

"You should be content, kid. At your level, being able to fly 20,000 miles in one go without any replenishment is already quite impressive."

Fenghuo took out several hundred Spirit Stone and casually set up a simple Spirit Gathering Formation to restore his spiritual power. At the same time, he looked at Shen Ge beside him and asked, "Kid, what good stuff is inside? Take it out and have a look?"

Shen Ge swallowed the spiritual energy that had already turned into mist, and only after half an incense stick's time did he slowly exhale a breath of turbid air, saying, "Uncle-Master, I never knew you were such an impatient person."

As Shen Ge spoke, he took out thirty-five boxes, including ten made of ebony, five of jade, fifteen of iron essence, and five other boxes made of other materials.

Even though these boxes are made of the same material, they vary in size and length, clearly indicating that the contents inside are not the same.

"Wow, quite a lot of stuff. If it's all good stuff, it's worth at least 500,000 Spirit Stone."

Shen Ge waved his hand and opened the five jade boxes, which immediately shone with precious light.

"Three large boxes of Star Sand, you probably couldn't get that many even if you robbed the entire Sea Billow Island."

"A deep-sea shark pearl and a piece of blood jade coral, not bad at all."

Shen Ge turned to Fenghuo and asked, "Uncle-Master, do you find him suitable?"

Fenghuo shook his head and said, "Keep going."

Shen Ge put away the jade box, then waved his hand and opened the ten ebony boxes.

After the light flashed, there were five Sword Stone of varying sizes. The largest one was as big as an arm and could be called a natural flying sword. In addition to three pieces of Rock Marrow, there were also two pieces of Star Stone in the other five boxes, all of which were excellent materials for refining weapons.

"Is there anyone you like, Uncle-Master?" Shen Ge asked again.

Fenghuo picked out the second largest Sword Stone and Rock Marrow, then said, "Keep these for yourself. I don't need them. Even if you gave them to me, I could only sell them for Spirit Stone."

Shen Ge nodded and put away the rest of them, then opened the fifteen iron essence boxes.

Shen Ge glanced at it a few times, and was quite surprised by what was inside.

"Thousand Demon Vine, Ironwood, and... and a Wood King Fruit?" Fenghuo said excitedly, "Give me all of these; I have a great use for them."

Shen Ge waved his hand and said, "Uncle-Master, you can take it if you want. You put in a lot of effort, so naturally you deserve a share of these things."

Shen Ge then looked at the last five boxes. He picked up the one that was only the size of his palm and opened it. Immediately, a burst of flame shot out, but the flame was blocked by an invisible barrier and then suppressed.

Shen Ge opened the box and saw three fiery red, crystalline objects inside. The Fire Element spiritual energy within them was exceptionally abundant, even violent. Not knowing what they were, he asked in confusion, "What are these things? Why are they breathing fire?"

Fenghuo observed for a while, then said uncertainly, "This seems to be Top-Grade Spirit Stone, right? I'm not sure either. After all, I've never seen Top-Grade Spirit Stone before. Besides, neither Heavenly South nor Luo Heaven Sea has such a high concentration of Spiritual Qi energy that Top-Grade Spirit Stone could possibly be formed. This must have been preserved by the Ji Household tens of thousands of years ago."

"It's a pity, though, because it's Fire Element, which is practically poison to us." Fenghuo shook his head with some regret.

Fenghuo has Wood Spirit Root; absorbing these three top-grade Fire Element Top-Grade Spirit Stone would be tantamount to playing with fire and getting burned.

As for Shen Ge, it's hard to say, because he is currently cultivating the Samsara Method, and his spiritual power will be converted into the power of Samsara, so he should be able to use it, but it's hard to say whether there will be any side effects.

After putting away the three Spirit Stone, Shen Ge opened another box. This time, he wasn't attacked, but there were a few wisps of flame burning inside the box.

A dark blue fruit lay in the box, but flames were burning around it—how strange.

"What's this?" Shen Ge asked.

Fenghuo glanced at it briefly and shook his head, saying, "I don't recognize it, I've never seen it before. It's probably a specialty of the Luo Heaven Sea. You can check some ancient books to find out."

After putting away the fruit, he opened two more boxes, but to his disappointment, a stench hit him. Shen Ge only caught a whiff of the stench before throwing the two boxes far away, almost causing a disturbance in his breathing.

"What was this originally? How did it rot and become so smelly?" Shen Ge said with a disgusted look, while Fenghuo next to him also looked rather unwell.

"I don't know what it is, but it's enough as poison."

Fenghuo forced himself to put away the two boxes, adding several seals before storing them separately in a corner of his Storage Bag.

After a moment of calm, Shen Ge waved from afar and opened the last box. There was no precious light or anything else unusual; just a feather lying quietly inside.

A sea breeze blew by, and the feather flew up with the wind. Shen Ge reached out and grabbed it to examine it carefully. The feather was as light as a feather, with white downy feathers on the lower half and light gray stiff feathers on the upper half. It was impossible to tell what kind of Demon Beast the feather belonged to, and there was nothing special about it.

However, this thing must be extraordinary to be placed in a treasure vault; perhaps it was extraordinary in the past.

"Let's go, let's go! Once we've divided up the treasures, let's hurry and leave the waters around Tianquan Island as soon as possible."

The two of them transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the sea once again.

A few days later, two figures appeared at the collapsed cave entrance on Crab Island: "There's a lingering scent of Ji Rufeng; this is the Ji Household's treasure trove."

"Damn it, that guy was definitely hiding something!"
