Chapter 4282 Getting Rich

Generally speaking, for Cultivators, life and death, fighting and killing, are all indispensable.

Once victorious, there will be great benefits, plundering the opponent's resources, laying the foundation for one's own Cultivation, and further improving.

The losses of Tianwu Sect this time were undeniably heavy. Fortunately, the tide of the battle was eventually turned, but when several Elders led their Disciples to collect the spoils, they found nothing.

This included the Rank four Black-Clothed Man of the Yuansheng Stage who had just been surrounded and killed by Dong Xuan and the other two. The arm that flew out was still there, but it was empty, with no Storage Ring at all.

Grand Elder Dong Kun's expression was gloomy. Such heavy losses with no compensation made him extremely annoyed.

The most crucial point was, where did all the rings on so many people's hands go? They couldn't have just disappeared into thin air.

"Alright, let's hurry over there and check the situation!"

Bai Jianbing didn't care about any of that. His attention was entirely on Ye Junxie. After resolving the trouble here, he immediately led his people to fly over there. Dong Xuan and Cangwu also followed closely behind.

Although cleaning up the battlefield was important, it was far less important than the Reincarnation of the Immortal Saint Ancestor.

If Ye Junxie truly died, all their efforts would be in vain.

The three Rank four Yuansheng Stage experts pushed their speed to the limit, moving astonishingly fast. When they arrived at the valley, Leng Jianhui and Yao Jianchen had also just arrived.

At this moment, Ye Bufan had removed the spatial Formation, and everything was clearly visible. However, the six Black-Clothed Men had left not even a trace, having been completely wiped out of existence.

Ye Junxie sat cross-legged on the ground, a large, bloody hole still in his injured chest.

"This…"

Bai Jianbing and the other two instantly changed their expressions upon seeing this situation. This could no longer be described as just an injury. If it were an ordinary Cultivator, such a serious injury would likely have caused their soul to fly away.

Dong Xuan, however, let out a long sigh of relief. The last time Ye Junxie was injured, it looked even more serious than this.

"No need to be nervous, Senior Brothers. Jun Xie has an Undying Body. This minor injury is nothing; he'll recover very quickly."

After he said that, Bai Jianbing and the others finally relaxed.

"An Undying Body, does it really exist?"

The three of them looked incredulous. The Undying Body was only a legendary existence; they never expected to see it today.

Although Ye Junxie's wound looked frightening now, he was still in good spirits. If one observed closely, they could see the sword wound on his chest slowly recovering at a visible rate.

Dong Xuan stepped forward and asked, "How are you? Are you alright?"

Ye Junxie bowed, "Sect Leader, you've been startled. I'm fine, and I'll recover quickly."

"This time, I owe much to the timely help of several Senior Brothers."

Dong Xuan introduced Bai Jianbing and the others, then looked at Dong Fang: "Third Elder, you protected Jun Xie this time; it's a great achievement."

Dong Fang quickly said, "Sect Leader, I dare not claim credit, and this time, we also suffered considerable losses."

"What do you mean?"

Dong Xuan calmed down and realized the problem. "By the way, how did you escape the danger? Where are those Black-Clothed Men?"

"It's like this…"

Dong Fang recounted the events, finally saying, "There was a spatial Formation here before. Although I didn't see it, I suspect those six people all died within the Formation."

"A spatial Formation? It seems the one who helped you was a Formation Great Master."

Dong Xuan nodded, "Didn't you ask for that person's identity? My Tianwu Sect will certainly repay them generously in the future."

Dong Fang smiled bitterly, extended his left hand with the severed finger, and then recounted what happened afterward.

"That person, I don't know if they are friend or foe. Their temper is strange. Although they helped us, they also injured me, stole my Storage Ring, and took my Tianwu Sect's chaotic spiritual treasure, the Pearl Umbrella."

Dong Xuan's expression was gloomy. At this moment, he understood perfectly what the other party meant by significant losses.

Losing the Pearl Umbrella was an undeniably huge loss for Tianwu Sect. Although it was only Low Grade, it was the only chaotic spiritual treasure in the entire Sect.

However, he did not immediately express his stance. Firstly, the other party had, after all, saved the Reincarnation of the Immortal Saint Ancestor, which held great significance for Tianwu Sect.

Secondly, this was a super Formation Great Master. Before clarifying the other party's identity, he dared not lightly declare them an enemy.

As things stood now, Tianwu Sect could be said to have suffered heavy losses.

But there was no choice. Since they had gambled the entire Sect's Luck, they had to continue. As long as Ye Junxie obtained the Immortal Saint Ancestor's Legacy, everything they lost could be easily recovered then.

"Alright, it's good that he's fine. Let's leave this place quickly."

Bai Jianbing naturally didn't care about Tianwu Sect's losses; his eyes were only on Ye Junxie.

Thus, Tianwu Sect's team set off again. Compared to before, their numbers had significantly decreased, but their strength had increased exponentially.

They gained one Rank four Yuansheng Stage expert and two Rank three Yuansheng Stage experts. As for Ku Xuzi, who was trotting along behind, he was simply ignored.

Even Bai Jianbing, who had called him, didn't pay him any mind. After all, Yunhai Sect was in decline now. The reason he called Ku Xuzi was simply to demonstrate a sense of gratitude.

As for his strength, he hadn't even considered it.

It was clear from the previous battle that this old man, running back and forth, was just a minor character, utterly useless and unable to play much of a role.

Ku Xuzi didn't mind everyone's disregard and followed along happily.

On the other side, Ye Bufan's true body hid inside a temporarily constructed Immortal Cave, setting up over a dozen Restrictions before entering the Dragon King Palace.

Looking at the huge pile of Storage Rings in front of him, he laughed heartily, unable to close his mouth from joy.

"I'm rich, I'm rich, I'm truly rich!"

This was a complete surprise. Ye Bufan hadn't expected to gain such a huge harvest even before reaching the Ninth Chaotic Saint Realm.

This time, by following behind Tianwu Sect and picking up treasures, not counting the chaotic spiritual treasure Pearl Umbrella he found, he managed to acquire twenty-two Storage Rings.

Finally, after killing three Yuansheng Stage powerhouses and three Rank nine Yuandi Stage Cultivators, the Demon Refining Bottle produced six Divine Essence Pills.

These were all good things; once consumed, his Cultivation could receive a significant boost.

Next, he began to specifically inventory the spoils. With a sweep of his Divine Sense, all the treasures inside the Storage Rings were released, piling up like small mountains.

A simple count showed there were a full twenty million chaotic sacred crystals, but he didn't plan to use these temporarily.

Although absorbing them would definitely improve his Cultivation, the cost-effectiveness was not high. Such a large fortune could be saved for later use, perhaps to buy good things worth countless times more.

The rest were various chaotic Spiritual Plants, which greatly enriched his family's foundation compared to before.

There were also Artifact Refining Materials. His strength had continuously improved, and he was now capable of refining chaotic spiritual treasures; what he lacked were the Materials.

This was the Essence of Illusory Space. Ye Bufan reached out and grabbed a white tofu-like object in his palm.

This item came from the Great Hammer Black-Clothed Man and contained extremely powerful spatial energy, making it an excellent material for refining space-attributed chaotic spiritual treasures.

Since arriving in the Chaotic Saint Realm, the Space Blade had lost its effectiveness.

Because its Rank was too low, it simply couldn't break through the spatial barriers here. However, if it were refined into a chaotic spiritual treasure, it would be different.

It could freely break through space, just like in the Immortal Realm, adding another life-saving treasure.
