Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly, feeling a sigh.
He stored the small cauldron away and continued the cleanup.
Even if the cauldron was a Magical Treasure embryo, it wasn’t of much use to him.
It was merely a piece of valuable material.
Besides possibly selling it in the future, it could also be used to cultivate the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art.
After all, a Magical Treasure embryo still counted as a Magical Treasure.
It could be refined into his body.
The cleaning process that followed didn’t reveal any high-value items to surprise Lu Changsheng.
“One hundred and twenty-eight Middle Grade Spirit Stones.”
“Three thousand eight hundred and ninety-four Lower Grade Spirit Stones.”
“One suspected Core Formation Spiritual Object, one Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object.”
“One Magical Treasure embryo, four Spiritual Artifacts, but one of them is worn, one is severely damaged, essentially scrapped, only suitable as waste material for the cultivation of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art.”
“Two Superior Magic Artifacts, three Ultimate Magic Artifacts, one Flying Boat, one Heavenly Thunder Pearl, one First Grade Lifespan Extension Pill…”
“Plus this pile of elixir medicines, talismans, and materials, the total value is over a hundred thousand Spirit Stones, right?”
After clearing everything up, Lu Changsheng took a deep breath while looking at this batch of spoils, and after roughly calculating their value, he exhaled long and deep.
This batch of spoils was indeed the greatest haul he had ever had.
The biggest gain he achieved previously was the Kou family’s five vicious beasts, and that was just over ten thousand Spirit Stones when added to Meng Xiaochan’s two Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects.
But now, the lone Red-robed youth’s spoils directly approached an enormous sum of a hundred thousand.
This wealth made Lu Changsheng even more aware that this person was far from ordinary.
“From the earlier situation, he must have been targeting Xiao Xiyue, seeking to capture her alive,”
Lu Changsheng looked at the still unconscious Xiao Xiyue, smacking his lips.
He felt the matter was far from simple.
Keep in mind, Xiao Xiyue is a disciple of a Nascent Soul Immortal from Qingyun Sect.
Now a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, knowing Xiao Xiyue’s identity, still came to seize her, which made him feel the situation was complicated.
“Alas, the more entanglements there are, the greater the cause and effect.”
Lu Changsheng shook his head, packed away the items, and took out seven Middle Grade Spirit Stones to recharge his puppet.
In the recent battle, this Second Rank puppet hadn’t suffered any damage.
But the consumption of Spirit Stones was vast; nearly seven out of the ten stones had been used up.
“After returning this time, if I have the time, I could also create a few more puppets,”
Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
Even the materials he had obtained were almost enough to create another Second Rank puppet.
But the next moment, Lu Changsheng shook his head.
“The urgent matter at hand is cultivation, otherwise, with my current mental spirit, even if I had several puppets, I wouldn’t be able to control them simultaneously.”
During the recent battle, Lu Changsheng had also realized his shortcomings in this area.
Operating a single puppet had already reached a limit during combat.
If he were to control multiple puppets at the same time, it would be difficult to concentrate on other tasks.
“Most cultivation techniques for mental spirit require the emergence of Divine Sense first.”
“It’s not something that can be rushed, unless the system can draw a relevant cultivation technique for this aspect.”
Lu Changsheng let out a sigh, grabbing two Lower Grade Spirit Stones and began to sit in meditation for healing and recovery.
The next day, Lu Changsheng glanced at the still unconscious Xiao Xiyue.
Seeing the effects of the healing talisman on her nearly dissipated, he took out another and used it.
As the talisman flowed through Xiao Xiyue’s body like dew from a lotus, she let out a soft moan and woke up.
“Xiao Daoist, have you awoken?”
Upon seeing Xiao Xiyue waking up, Lu Changsheng immediately inquired with concern.
“Lu Daoist?”
“Where are we, and where’s the Robber Cultivator?”
Xiao Xiyue sat up, looked around the crude cave, and asked.
She didn’t know if they had escaped or if she had been imprisoned by the Red-robed youth.
“Under the power of our two Talisman Treasures, that Robber Cultivator was also at his limit… I, Lu, had no choice but to play my last card and barely managed to slay him…”
Lu Changsheng sighed, his words tinged with a mix of distress and relief.
As he spoke, he returned Xiao Xiyue’s Tortoise Shell, Sword Bead, Cloud Veil, and Talisman Treasures.
He might be avaricious, but not to the extent of coveting these few things from the mother of his child.
“You actually slew him!”
Xiao Xiyue was somewhat incredulous.
From their brief encounter before, she understood that the Red-robed youth was not an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
He was at least at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.
She and Lu Changsheng might have suppressed him with the help of the Talisman Treasure.
But suppression and slaying were entirely different concepts.
She was stunned for a moment.
Then, her somewhat pale face broke into a smile that was unlike her usual cold demeanor, blooming like a snow lotus: “I didn’t expect Lu Daoist to have hidden so deeply.”
She knew Lu Changsheng had secrets.
But upon seeing the Second Rank Puppet, Talisman Treasure, and Lu Changsheng’s cultivation level, she had already been amazed.
Now, hearing that Lu Changsheng had slain the Red-robed youth, her view of him was completely altered.
Seeing Lu Changsheng slightly frown,
Xiao Xiyue seemed to realize something,
Her lips lightly pursed as she said, “Don’t worry, Lu Daoist; every cultivator has their secrets.”
“In Ruyi County City, Xi Yue already perceived that you were different from ordinary Cultivators, certainly possessing fortunate secrets.”
“So rest assured, Xi Yue can swear on my Dao Heart that I will absolutely not divulge anything about Lu Daoist to anyone.”
Xiao Xiyue, being a smart person and cultivating the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique, was enlightened in her Dao Heart.
Having said that, she promptly swore an oath, indicating she wouldn’t mention this matter to a third party.
“Xiao Daoist, there’s no need for such formality; the situation isn’t that serious.”
Lu Changsheng smiled, very satisfied with Xiao Xiyue’s consideration.
After all, revealing Talisman Treasures and cultivation levels like this was still somewhat risky.
