Chapter 381: Windfall

Xiao Fan nodded; he naturally knew that what Warrior Feng said was true.

If Xiao Fan hadn't reacted quickly and Warrior Feng hadn't appeared in time, his life would have truly been in danger.

"This person's Golden Core was shattered; even if he escaped, he wouldn't survive, which is why he chose to take you down with him," Warrior Feng said with a smile.

The Golden Core in his hand was currently suppressed by him, unable to even attempt an escape.

Xiao Fan smiled bitterly, re-evaluating the strength of powerhouses in the Xuandan Realm.

Unless one's own strength reached the point of true crushing dominance, one must never be careless.

What just happened was the best proof of that.

In fact, Xiao Fan didn't know that once a Xuandan Realm powerhouse's Golden Core was damaged to such an extent, they generally lost all combat capability.

Nangong Lingxuan's beautiful eyes were bright, and a secret smile appeared on her flawless face as she observed Xiao Fan.

Hu Rui, on the other hand, had a smile spread across her entire face, her gaze fixed on Xiao Fan the entire time.

At the critical moment, he had stood up to block the enemy and let them escape…

This sentiment was beyond words for them.

Xiao Fan's injuries were extremely severe, and he was also reflecting on himself, thinking he shouldn't have been so careless.

Therefore, he didn't notice the two women behind him at all.

However, just because he didn't notice didn't mean Warrior Feng, who was standing to the side, didn't.

He wore a bitter smile, his mind deep in thought.

"Alright, let's go," Warrior Feng smiled and waved his hand. A golden light enveloped the trio, and he made a move to take them away.

"Wait!!"

Xiao Fan hurriedly stopped him.

"Hmm? What is it? Do you still have something to do?" Warrior Feng asked, puzzled.

"Wait a moment, I'll be right back."

Xiao Fan couldn't be bothered to think about the battle just now; he dove straight down. He had just killed four Tongtian Realm powerhouses.

He hadn't taken the Storage Pouches from their bodies yet.

Watching Xiao Fan ignore his injuries to rush down, searching everywhere among the corpses for Storage Pouches…

Warrior Feng: "…"

After all that, he was just collecting the spoils of war.

Nangong Lingxuan and Hu Rui both had a certain understanding of Xiao Fan's character, so they weren't too surprised.

The aftershocks of the clash had been too great, sending the corpses flying quite far away.

It took Xiao Fan a full quarter-hour to find the Storage Pouches of all four people.

He soared back up and arrived at Warrior Feng's side.

"Alright…"

Warrior Feng smiled bitterly and waved his hand, a stream of light enveloping the three of them.

In the blink of an eye, they vanished, turning into a streak of light that sped toward the Imperial Capital.

Not long after, the group returned to the Imperial Capital.

This time, they didn't stay outside and went straight back to the restaurant.

Xiao Fan's injuries were very heavy, so he didn't chat much with the two women and went straight back to his room.

At this moment, he was in high spirits, with an irrepressible look of joy on his face…

"I collected five ancient artifacts and even snatched five Storage Pouches. One of them belongs to a Xuandan Realm expert; I wonder how many Spirit Stones are inside…"

Xiao Fan was overjoyed. He didn't rush to check the Storage Pouches; first, his Divine Soul entered the star chart, and he consumed a large number of Medicinal Pills.

After recovering a bit, his Divine Soul returned to his Physical Body.

He took out all five ancient artifacts, and the Myriad Phenomena and the Enlightenment Seed inside him became active simultaneously…

They seemed extremely pleased, intending to directly absorb these items.

"No…"

Xiao Fan closed his eyes and used his Divine Thought to communicate, telling the two little fellows that this wasn't the place for now.

The auction was tomorrow, and he was injured. If they caused a commotion here, it wouldn't be good.

He told them to wait quietly for a few days.

Although the two little fellows were reluctant, they could only compromise in the end…

They stopped acting up.

Xiao Fan put all five ancient artifacts into his Storage Pouch and took out the five Storage Pouches he had just snatched.

He didn't bother using his Divine Soul to probe them; he just dumped everything out in one go.

The glint in his eyes grew brighter and brighter…

Especially when he opened the Storage Pouch of that final Xuandan Realm powerhouse, he was so excited he almost laughed out loud toward the sky.

"I didn't expect them to be so rich…"

Xiao Fan was delighted. In these five Storage Pouches combined, there were nearly six hundred thousand Spirit Stones…

The Xuandan Realm powerhouse's Storage Pouch alone contained over four hundred thousand…

Xiao Fan felt refreshed; he hadn't expected today's outing to yield such a bountiful harvest…

He began to categorize the items in the Storage Pouches. He even retrieved the nearly shattered Crimson Long Blade belonging to the Xuandan Realm powerhouse.

These were all Spirit Stones, after all.

It took Xiao Fan a full two hours to categorize everything.

"The wealth of one Xuandan Realm powerhouse is already comparable to ten Tongtian Realm Cultivators…"

"And these Tongtian Realm Cultivators are actually richer than the Disciples of the Jixian Sect. It looks like they've done quite a bit of mugging in their day…"

Xiao Fan muttered to himself, his face full of joy.

It was exactly as he said; this group usually engaged in the business of killing and looting…

There was no telling how many Cultivators had died at their hands, so they were naturally quite wealthy.

"Hmm… in the future, should I specifically seek out these murderers and looters to uphold justice and eliminate evils for the people?!!"

Xiao Fan secretly decided that if he encountered such people in the future, he must not let them go.

At the same time, the number of Spirit Stones on him had reached a staggering level.

In terms of pure Spirit Stones, it had reached over 1.6 million, nearly 1.7 million…

And that wasn't even counting the Magical Artifacts, the piles of bottled Medicinal Pills, and various Materials.

It could be said that he was now truly a man of great wealth.
