Chapter 241: Harvest

Chapter 241 Harvest Many people left, including those who were weak, sick, or even disabled. The warriors found some relatively strong people and took them away. However, after the Taoist and the warrior left the cave leading to the dungeon, they walked into another cave. Luo Seng found a list book. This is the gift list for previous gifts. It lists all the people who came to the banquet and gave gifts, including their names and the gifts they gave, as well as a general place name. For example, "Mingxia Ducheng, a thousand-year-old bright heart flower." And two different kinds of pens were used on it, black pen and red pen. Luo Seng knew it at a glance. The ones written on the red pen were the monsters that entered the cave to eat the feast, and the ones written on the black pen were the monsters that ate the feast outside. “The handwriting is pretty good…” Luo Seng gave a comment, then with a cold face, he put the book into his arms.

There was the sound of footsteps behind me. "Mr. Luo!" A warrior ran over. "We found the cave where the monster kept his treasures. There are so many gold, silver and jewels!" "is it?" "Please come with me!" Before long, everyone arrived at a cave. Lin Jue and his junior sister also arrived here. Under the light of the torches, the ground was covered with gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and artifacts, piled on the ground just like ordinary soil and rocks, which was dazzling to see. The junior sister couldn't help but look dazed. She thought she had seen the world after having been to Yi County once and to Yangjia Village outside Runze City once, but when she saw this scene, she still couldn't help but be shocked. Lin Jue had no expression. The fox walked up and fiddled with it with his claws. The other martial artists had different expressions. Some make a living by slaying demons and eliminating evil, all for the sake of money, so they are naturally excited. Some of them had been harmed by monsters and had long since tied their heads to their waists. No amount of wealth could make them stop. Once they fought with monsters, they didn't know when they would die. No matter how much wealth they had, it would only allow them to squander a good life for a while. So they were just happy and not too excited. However, no matter how excited they were, they did not rush to snatch it immediately. Instead, they called Luo Seng and Lin Jue over first. Luo Seng's face was a little thicker with stubble, and he looked very old. He just clasped his fists to the martial artists: "My fellow heroes, we agreed when we came here that you all risked your lives to help us slay the demons and exorcise the monsters, and all the gold, silver and treasures you obtain will be divided equally among you all. There is really no need to call Luo over to take another look.

"But since the brothers have done me the honor of calling me here, I will say this - "There are so many treasures here that even if you fill your chests and trouser legs, you still can't fill them all. So those who are seriously injured and have contributed the most will be selected first! As for the two heroes who died, I know them. Their family members were eaten by demons ten years ago. Don't worry about them. Just bury them!" When everyone heard it, they immediately cheered. The junior sister had picked up the Chicken Immortal's whisk and was holding it in her hand. When she heard what Luo Seng said, she was stunned for a moment, then loosened her grip and threw the whisk into the pile of gold and silver. The most seriously injured warrior was pushed out, took off his clothes immediately, and lay down in the pile of treasure, aiming at the gold and grabbing it. His movements were rough and impatient, but he was full of heroic spirit. Everyone looked on with envy and impatience. Then each warrior came forward one by one, laughing. Some preferred gold, so they picked gold, some preferred pearls and jade, so they grabbed pearls and jade, and some chose to be the last, so they could only pack a package of silver. In short, everyone's bags were bulging and heavy, and if they were not strong, they could hardly lift them. It was like a bumper harvest. But no one took the whisk. A rude warrior is also a caring person. "Thank you, Lord Luo! Thank you, both masters! If you need anything else, just call us!" "You are so polite, my dear fellows!" Luo Seng also clasped his fists and spoke to them, then paused and said: "The two masters around me seem to have some particulars. I don't know the details. I'm afraid it's some roundabout ways of monks, which is very troublesome. Anyway, since you have obtained so much gold and silver treasures, the rewards offered by the county government are nothing. Please leave it to me and the two masters." "Haha! Why not?" "Mr. Luo is now wanted by the government. Do you want me to collect the reward for him and then send him to his home?" "There are still a lot of vases and utensils on the ground, all of which can be sold for money. We don't want them. Mr. Luo, please don't waste them!" Many heroes were already happy with their rich harvest, and they also knew that they did not have the ability to fight the Demon King. The harvest today was also thanks to Lin Jue and the other two who defeated the big demon with Luo Seng. How could they not agree? Then they made an appointment with Luo Seng to meet again at a certain time and place another day, and then they left one after another. Only Luo Seng, Lin Jue and three others were left here. There were still a lot of treasures left on the earth. "Can't waste it." Luo Seng had been generous before, but now he was being frugal. He was seen scratching the ground with his feet a few times, ignoring those vases and antiques that might be priceless, and only looking for a lot of missing loose silver coins, picking them up one by one and putting them in his arms. The fox loved to dig holes and dig the soil, so when it saw this, it quickly went to help him search. The junior sister bent down, picked up the whisk again, waved it left and right twice, and imitated the statues of gods in the Taoist temple. She placed it on her left elbow, but felt it was awkward, so she held it in her hand again to look at it. "This monster has killed countless people and overturned countless boats over the years." Luo Seng said, "Every one I pick up is enough to pay for a meal." "Mr. Luo is really generous."

Lin Jue was talking about how he gave most of his gold, silver and other valuables to other martial artists. "What a pity, we can't take all of it." Luo Seng shook his head and looked at Lin Jue and his junior sister. "The two Taoist priests, don't be polite and take whatever you like. If you don't take anything, it will just go into the pockets of the local officials." "There are too many treasures here, but what we can take is very limited." Lin Jue said to him, "Compared to these gold and silver treasures, the treasures hidden by the demon king are more suitable for us." "rational!" Luo Seng picked up a small bag of silver. The junior sister was still looking at the whisk in her hand. Lin Jue had not intended to take anything, but out of the corner of his eye he saw his fox playing among a pile of antiques and casually picked out a crystal cup. There was nothing special about the crystal cup, it was just transparent, but it made Lin Jue stunned for a moment. Cups like this are rare these days. Lin Jue couldn't help but smile and went over to pick it up. "I'll take this." I don't know how valuable it is these days, but Lin Jue is happy when he sees it. He will keep it for his own use and doesn't care how valuable it is. The three of them walked out of the cave and went somewhere else. The Crocodile King does have a lot of good things. The two brothers and sisters immediately summoned a paper donkey and found a few cloth bags. They first shrank the "Ruyi Danlu" in the alchemy room to the smallest size, put it into the cloth bag, and then found the treasure house of the Crocodile King. What came into view was a large cave. Something was sparkling in the stone wall above my head, making the cave dimly lit at all times. Many small squares were carved out on the four walls, with rough little wooden boxes placed inside. The things contained here were probably what the monsters thought were more valuable, or what the Alligator King liked more. There are also quite a few boxes stacked on the ground, perhaps because there are too many of them and they can’t fit in any more. Just as the warriors could not take away all the gold, silver and treasures accumulated by the Alligator Dragon King, Lin Jue and his junior sister could not take away all the treasures accumulated by the Alligator Dragon King over the years, even if they had two donkeys and two horses that had lost their owners. Therefore, the two of them had to select carefully. Some of these natural treasures have been collected by the Crocodile King for too long, and the methods used to seal their spiritual charm are too simple and crude. The spiritual charm of many natural treasures has gradually dissipated, or even completely disappeared. This category can naturally be directly excluded, which makes the selection easier. The other is to choose according to demand. When Lin Jue was refining elixirs for the Alligator King before, he had seen some spiritual woods, and now he naturally found them again. Not only did they find it, but they also found more. Naturally, they made another comparison and selected the ones with the most spiritual charm and the most suitable properties for making bean soldiers. They then cut them into appropriate lengths based on experience and put them into cloth bags. There is no point in taking more— I have already taken away the best spiritual woods. When I have used up these good spiritual woods, I will naturally come across better ones. As for those relatively inferior spiritual woods, I will just leave them here. "Hey!" The fox barked.

Lin Jue looked over and was shocked again. In front of the fox was a box of various "stones" in different shapes and even colors, but he recognized them at a glance. They were the spiritual gold ore nurtured by heaven and earth. Although they are all naturally formed spiritual gold and are somewhat rough and primitive, most of them are very spiritual. After a little forging, they should be more than enough to be used as weapons and armor for bean soldiers. Lin Jue couldn't help but pick it up and check it. A lump of silvery-white spiritual gold, heavy and hard; A square lump of gray spiritual gold, exuding an overwhelming chill. A piece of slightly reddish stone, seemingly no different from ordinary metal, but it feels hot to the touch, with a hint of fire coming from inside. "Good stuff!" These are all very suitable for use as weapons and armor for bean soldiers. Lin Jue immediately put it into the cloth bag. "Brother!" The voice of the junior sister came from the side: "What is this? It feels so familiar." "Wood spirit! It's also a good thing!" Lin Jue said after checking, "Look for earth spirits, you may need them!" "it is good!" The two men and the fox chose very seriously. Luo Seng would yawn beside them, and whenever he had a chance he would pull the cloth bag for them, or shake it and move it to the side. Gradually, several cloth bags were filled. When the three men and the fox walked out of the tiankeng, they had already led two donkeys and three horses. Both the donkeys and the horses were loaded with things, so they returned with a full load. Passing through the pear blossom forest, we arrived at the ancient ferry. The boat was still there, swaying with the waves, and no monster had stolen it. "Do you still want this ship?" "What a great boat! It would be a waste to keep it here. Take it back and sell it." "Alright! Then I will lead the three horses back, and the two Taoists can row this covered boat back." Luo Seng led the three horses and said, "It's okay if you don't sell it. This river leads to the capital. Didn't I hear that the two Taoists wanted to go to the capital? The waterway is always easier than the landway." "talk later." Lin Jue nodded. "See you at the hut." "See you at the hut." The three of them bowed to each other and left. Luo Seng and the three horses soon disappeared on the path along the shore, and the sound of horse hooves also faded away.

Lin Jue washed his hands by the river, untied the rope that tied the boat, took the donkey back, loaded the things onto the boat, and then jumped onto the boat with his junior sister and the fox. As soon as the paddle board pushed the shore, the boat sailed into the river. Lin Jue was thinking while rowing the boat. The harvest this time was extremely rich, and the biggest harvest was naturally the two-liang top-grade gold essence. This is the top-notch natural treasure. With this golden essence, not only can his flying sword and long sword be greatly strengthened, but the materials in the Four Directions Five Elements Golden Pill are also replenished. There are many materials for the Four Elements Golden Elixir, and it seems that I have only collected one of them, but my merits are constantly accumulating, and my method of collecting them has also improved. It's just that I have been focusing on practicing the way of fighting in the past few months and put it aside temporarily. Now that I have defeated the Alligator King, I naturally have to pick it up again. As for the so-called morning glow of the East China Sea and the evening glow of the Western Regions, as long as my attainments in the method of collecting are improved, they will be within my reach. I just need to take a trip to the East China Sea and the Western Regions. Nanshan Stone and Beibao Spring also have fixed locations, so it won’t be difficult to get there. Although a thousand taels of gold is a lot, there is always a way. I guess the Crocodile King has over a thousand taels today, right? What is really lacking now are the Millennium Snow Lotus, Earth Spirit Pill and Swallow Egg Fragrance. Lin Jue was already very satisfied. There is a sense of natural and steady progress. In addition to the spiritual gold and spiritual wood obtained, it is enough to carve at least twenty or thirty bean soldiers. The natural treasures obtained are also enough to refine many rare elixirs. Lord Luo was generous and left the reward money from several county governments to himself. The accumulation is enough for the silver-eating ghost to eat for two or three months. In this way, it can be expected that in the next few months, both my cultivation and skills will be greatly improved. The same is obviously true for Junior Sister - The elixir I made should include a share for her. Lin Jue glanced at the junior sister, who was currently holding the Chicken Immortal's whisk, dancing around in the boat like a child who had gotten a new toy. (End of this chapter)
