Chapter 523: Chapter 196: Counting the Spoils, A Sudden Windfall, 72 Flying Heaven Sword Array_2

Of course, the cultivators who followed Ye Ping’an recounted everything with respect and trepidation.

Upon hearing this, he said no more, his figure moved, and he suddenly transformed into a shadow before disappearing.

...

Several days later!

The figure of Zhou Changwang appeared in a dense forest.

Along the way, he did not stop for a moment, traveling at high speed. When his True Essence was exhausted, he took Jade Flower Pills to replenish his energy.

Only now did he feel slightly at ease.

These few days.

He did not have it easy.

Several times, he sensed great danger looming. If not for using the Derivation Technique to adjust his direction in time and relying on various Magic techniques like the Divine Concealment Technique, Earth Escape Technique, and Invisibility Technique, he would not have escaped smoothly.

The most dangerous time, he was only seven miles from that figure, almost within the range of the other’s sight.

If he hadn’t timely escaped underground again, he would probably have been discovered by the other party.

Yet, even so, after he dived underground for more than ten breaths, he could still sense the opponent fiercely attacking the place where he had just appeared several times.

The scene of plowing up the entire earth and overturning the land within a range of dozens of meters was so terrifying that he could feel it from afar.

"No wonder he’s a Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

His aura and power are both terrifying.

Moreover, he possesses powerful Divine Techniques. With my current strength, if I were to confront him, there’s no other possibility, only certain death..."

Even though he had already escaped danger, Zhou Changwang still showed a hint of fear on his face.

Moreover, unlike what everyone imagined about an Eighth-Layer Foundation Establishment, Ye Yanshu had already broken through to the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment Realm, with strength and means more formidable and terrifying than legends.

"Fortunately.

I finally escaped.

At least for a short time, I shouldn’t have to worry."

At this moment, he was already seven or eight hundred miles away from the Divine Wind Valley Marketplace. A day ago, he no longer felt that impending sense of crisis.

But he still ran for a whole day and night before he felt slightly relieved.

"However, though this time I nearly encountered great calamity.

I managed to jump out in time and escape danger.

I just don’t know how this matter will affect Sister Shen?"

Zhou Changwang thought of this and was somewhat worried.

Fortunately, the relationship between them was not overly close.

They seldom interacted, and even their transactions were conducted secretly, so it should not cause much impact.

With his heart somewhat at ease, Zhou Changwang finally turned his attention to his surroundings.

At this time, he was in a dense forest sprawling over an uncharted distance, and he was unable to discern the direction.

However, he was not in a hurry.

He directly released the Earth-penetrating Dog, jumped lightly onto its back, and with a Calming Technique, instructed it to run wildly in a specified direction.

Meanwhile, he himself began to focus on his gains this time.

This time, he didn’t kill many cultivators.

But each one was considered powerful.

First, there were Zhang Shihu, Yue Lao Yin, River Wanderer, and Cloud Flying Sparrow.

Six cultivators.

The lowest cultivation among them was the Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation, with River Wanderer at the Eighth-Layer Qi Cultivation, and Yue Lao Yin, Cloud Flying Sparrow, and Zhang Shihu at the Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation.

"These six people, with some wealth, hopefully, there will be a pleasant surprise."

Zhou Changwang muttered, taking out their six Storage Bags, and with a slight movement of his Divine Sense, he unlocked the corresponding Restrictions without even needing to use the Spiritual Sense of Thousands or Divine Sense of Thousands techniques.

Then he gathered them all together and counted them.

"Quite a few Spirit Stones, totaling over 300,000 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

Especially Yue Lao Yin, the richest, personally storing 100,000 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

Hmm? There are even Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects, no less than five of them.

These three items, Twelve-Color Flower, Soul-Protecting Spirit Grass, and Earth Yin Lingzhi, were all taken from Zhang Shihu’s Storage Bag?

Indeed, greed never knows satisfaction; he had already gathered three Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects. With just a few years’ patience, he could have obtained a Foundation Establishment Pill, but he still took the risk..."

Zhou Changwang looked at the items in these Storage Bags, feeling a burst of emotion.

Especially Zhang Shihu.

Earlier in Divine Wind Valley, although there had been some friction with Shuiyun Pavilion, Zhou Changwang himself did not suffer any loss and thus wouldn’t seek revenge intentionally.

In his heart, he was a kind and peaceful person.

If others didn’t provoke him, he naturally wouldn’t go looking for trouble.

Unfortunately, Zhang Shihu chose to walk into his own trap; though he had a promising path of Foundation Establishment, he ended up dead and gone.

And these three Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects became his gain.

As for the remaining two Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects, one came from River Wanderer, a Bicolored Flower, and the other from Yue Lao Yin, a Nourishing Spirit Flower.

"If I gather a few more, won’t I be able to refine another batch of Foundation Establishment Pills?"

Zhou Changwang muttered, his gaze then falling on other treasures.

"Dozens of Spirit Talismans, apart from a few with decent power, the rest are rather ordinary in use.

Dozens of bottles of Spirit Pills could probably exchange for several thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

Magical Artifacts, more than a dozen... this is normal, as most cultivators only keep the Magical Artifacts they can use; the relatively low-tier ones are either sold at stalls or sold at low prices to various shops.
