CHAPTER 80: Post-Battle Distribution
After a moment, Zhou Guibo arrived at the ruins of the ancestral hall to participate in the distribution of the loot.
These items were ultimately divided into five portions, each valued at around five hundred spiritual stones, which made several individuals exceedingly excited, their faces glowing with joy.
Of course, the distribution of benefits could not be left to others. Liu Yu, who was well aware of this, took the initiative to cut the cake himself.
It was natural that his portion would hold the highest value.
Next, Wu Chang, who was closer to him and showed signs of being a sycophant, also received a larger share to give him a taste of the benefits.
Finally, Zhou Guibo, Xie Huaxiong, and Sun Ju each received similar portions.
On the surface, these five portions seemed quite balanced, and Liu Yu made sure not to leave any obvious handles for criticism; he still needed to maintain appearances.
Once he received his share, the joy on Wu Chang and the others' faces was hard to conceal, their smiles radiant and cheeks flushed.
For them, this represented a “fortune”—nearly five hundred spiritual stones. If they didn’t spend it all on elixirs to enhance their cultivation, they could manage to buy a high-grade magical artifact by tightening their belts.
With this, their strength would see a slight increase, which would undoubtedly enhance their survival capabilities in the turbulent cultivation world of Chu State.
The four, having gained tangible benefits, became even more convinced of Liu Yu’s leadership, believing this Senior Brother Liu was capable enough in both strength and strategy to lead them.
Especially Zhou Guibo and the others, who found it hard to believe that such a large sum of resources had come to them so easily.
Their previous thoughts were thoroughly buried, and they genuinely felt a newfound respect for him.
Liu Yu, dressed in white and with his hands behind his back, wore a slight smile as he looked at the excited group.
After a while, once the chatter had settled, he spoke:
“Alright, my fellow junior brothers, this is just a little resource. Do not be too joyful or too sorrowful. As cultivators, we must maintain a heart of equanimity!”
“We will set off to Yanjiao Mountain at the fifth watch of the yin hour, where we will engage in a duel of magic with the cultivators from the Heavenly Harmony Sect. You all need to properly recover your magical power and energy.”
“At that time, not only will we eliminate the cultivators of the Heavenly Harmony Sect and gain a windfall, but we can also report our contributions to the sect, which is indeed a splendid matter!”
Liu Yu spoke earnestly, not wanting to dampen their spirits at this moment.
However, his words subtly hinted that as long as they followed him, there would be more benefits to come.
“Senior Brother Liu is right, we will go recover our magical power and energy right away!”
Wu Chang, Zhou Guibo, and the others responded in unison, clearly looking forward to what came next after tasting this sweet reward.
“Dueling among cultivators is fraught with peril, so you must be careful and not let your guard down!”
Liu Yu nodded in satisfaction at their attitudes. After giving a few more reminders, Wu Chang and the others found a nearby spot to restore their magical power.
At this moment, the buildings halfway up Little Eyebrow Mountain had turned into ash. Liu Yu found a spacious area, not too far from others, and took out a meditation cushion from his storage bag, sitting cross-legged.
With this distance and terrain, if any cultivator wanted to ambush him, they would be discovered immediately, allowing him time to respond.
Liu Yu retrieved a jade vial from his storage bag, uncorked it, and swallowed a Restorative Spirit Pill.
This was the “Restorative Spirit Pill” he had purchased in the sect’s bazaar, which could restore a little more than half of the magical power of a late-stage qi refinement cultivator. A vial cost fifty spiritual stones, with five pills costing ten spiritual stones each.
