Chapter 69 Generosity of the Family_1
Having finished recounting the events of the past half year, in the presence of the clan members, he took out more than ten differently colored storage bags.
After hearing the process, all the clan members waited curiously, the loot this time was substantial, it was the perfect opportunity to enhance the Lin Family's foundation.
Lin Shiji picked up a storage bag and a beast skin for recording, and began to recite fluently.
"These five storage bags all contain the Demon Cores of Silver Earth Scorpions as well as parts usable for artificing, totaling sixty-six Silver Earth Scorpion corpses of varying grades."
"This storage bag contains all of the eighty-three Jade Spirit Fruits obtained."
"This storage bag holds six Jade Spirit Fruit trees, very intact, including the surrounding soil dug up together, which increases the likelihood of survival."
"These two storage bags contain one hundred and thirty-three pieces of Earth Mysterious Crystal Ore, roughly the size of a fist, with only a few slightly larger."
…
Lin Shiji took out all the Spiritual Medicine, Spirit Ore, and Demonic Beast materials for artificing and detailed the experiences one by one.
Listening, everyone was overjoyed. The wealth they had acquired was indeed substantial, worth at least tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.
In the end, Lin Shiji produced five storage bags, the very ones seized from Song Lixin and his companions during the surprise attack at the crucial moment.
The wealth of Song Lixin and his four companions was the hard-won result of the entire Monster Hunting Squad, and no one had opened them privately, deliberately saving them until last to decide on rewards based on the contents when opened in front of everyone.
Hearing Lin Shiji's explanation, everyone was greatly reassured. Lin Shiji's actions were indeed fair and just, without the slightest hint of greed, earning the respect of all the clan members.
He took out the first storage bag, which belonged to an Artificer at the Qi Refining Eighth Level with the surname Xie.
Lin Shiji took out all the items from the storage bag and laid them out on an open space in the courtyard.
Three hundred and sixty Spirit Stones, a bottle of Lingshen Pills, various amounts of Huiyuan Pills, Consolidating Essence Pills, and other consumable Spiritual Medicine, a Medium Grade Attack Spirit Weapon, and a number of First Order Spiritual Medicines and Demonic Beast Materials. These common items amounted to a total wealth of around a thousand or so Spirit Stones.
Before long, Lin Shiji had taken out the wealth of the four others, excluding Song Lixin, which were all necessities for cultivation.
Apart from the wealth of a cultivator with the surname Chen, valued at four thousand Spirit Stones, the wealth of the other two was somewhat higher than that of cultivator Xie, barely reaching three thousand Spirit Stones.
Among the four, the cultivator Chen was at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining with formidable strength, having participated in the Monster Hunting Squad multiple times; naturally, his accumulated wealth wasn't small.
Unfortunately, there were no Cultivation Techniques discovered; after all, it's rare for Qi Refining rogue cultivators to have complete techniques, to even carry any is even less common.
The crowd felt a bit disappointed, but considering the amount of treasure they obtained, they quickly came to terms with it. Moreover, the Lin Family wasn't in great need of Yellow Grade Techniques; Mysterious Grade Techniques would be of more interest.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
FInally, with all expectations set, Lin Shiji took out Song Lixin's storage bag and removed all the items.
In no time, the ground was covered with items; everyone's breath hitched as they checked over the array of riches.
Now, the ground was covered in Spirit Stones, elixirs, and Spiritual Artifacts of every kind, bewitching the eye with their quantity and variety.
Lin Shixin, as the Hall of Merit's Master, stepped forward and, while inspecting, recited each item one by one.
"One thousand six hundred and twenty Spirit Stones, five First Order Medium Grade Spiritual Instruments, three Lower Grade Spiritual Instruments, one First Order Superior Grade artificing furnace, a number of First Order artificing materials, twelve Second Order Spirit Ores!"
After the first round of introduction, everybody was discussing in low voices.
"Judging by the artificing materials in his storage bag, Song Lixin must be at least a First Order Medium Grade Artificer, absolutely!"
"This guy is really rich, just these Spirit Stones, Spiritual Instruments, and artificing materials are worth over four thousand Spirit Stones, surpassing any of the others!"
Lin Shixin paid no mind and continued the inventory count.
"Two bottles of Lingshen Pill, various consumables elixirs, thirty First Order Spiritual Medicine Materials, five Second Order Spiritual Medicine Materials, five First Order Medium Grade talisman paper, two High Quality Talisman papers, and several Demonic Beast Materials!"
With the majority of the items accounted for, their value was nearly six thousand Spirit Stones, with just one Jade Tube left to be inspected.
Lin Shixin picked up the Jade Tube and summoned his Divine Sense to examine its contents.
After a few moments, a hint of joy appeared on his face.
"This is a Profound Grade Technique of inferior quality, a Water Attribute Cultivation Technique, named the 'Kanli Water Scripture'!"
Lin Shixin's words once again took everyone present by surprise.
In the eight hundred years of the Lin Family's history, nearly a thousand clan members had worked hard to acquire two Profound Grade Techniques, both of which had been obtained during the ancestral patriarch's era.
For nearly five hundred years, no Profound Grade Techniques had been obtained, and it just so happened that the clan lacked a Water, Earth, or Wood Attribute Profound Grade Technique. It was truly incredible that they had now acquired a Profound Grade Technique.
One must know that when Lin Tianming attended the Qianchuan Market auction, even a Yellow Grade Technique with a Water Attribute went for more than twenty thousand Spirit Stones. Although this Profound Grade Technique was relatively ordinary, it was still worth tens of thousands of Spirit Stones at the very least.
Lin Shixin tossed the Technique to Lin Shikang and others to verify, and in the end, it was confirmed indeed to be a Water Attribute Profound Grade Technique.
With all treasures appraised, it took a full quarter hour before everyone could recover from their joy.
Lin Shiji and others had achieved great merit by obtaining a large number of treasures. Lin Shikang took the initiative to open the discussion on how the clan members should be rewarded!
After half an hour of discussion, a decision was made.
As the leader, Lin Shiji, who was seriously injured, was awarded three thousand Merit Points, one First Order Superior Grade Spiritual Instrument, two High Quality Talisman papers, and one Jade Spirit Fruit.
Lin Xingzhi, whose performance was outstanding, was awarded two thousand Merit Points and one Jade Spirit Fruit.
Lin Xingcheng was awarded one thousand five hundred Merit Points and one Jade Spirit Fruit, and other Seventh Level Qi Cultivators in the family were rewarded with one thousand Merit Points and one Jade Spirit Fruit each.
Although the three juniors Lin Tianming, Lin Tianfeng, and Lin Tianhong had relatively low cultivation levels, they actively participated in the trials and set an example for the younger generation of the clan, with exceptional performance. Especially Lin Tianming, who, at the Seventh Level of Qi Refinement, was not inferior to the cultivators at the Ninth Layer and even discovered the Earth Mysterious Crystal, thus deserving the main credit.
Therefore, considering that these individuals had always been the focus of the family's cultivation resources, and that the family's finances had been depleted due to the creation of the Minor Foundation Building Pills, it was natural to fulfill the previously established training plans now that a substantial fortune had been acquired.
Lin Tianming was rewarded with two thousand five hundred Merit Points, one Jade Spirit Fruit, three High Quality Talisman papers, and one Medium Grade Spiritual Instrument.
Lin Tianfeng and Lin Tianhong were both awarded one thousand five hundred Merit Points, one Jade Spirit Fruit, two High Quality Talisman papers, and one Medium Grade Spiritual Instrument.
Their rewards were even more generous than those given to Seventh Level Qi Cultivators in the family, and Lin Tianming's reward even surpassed that of Lin Xingzhi, a Qi Refining Eighth Level cultivator. The family was indeed generous this time.
Once the rewards were decided, Lin Shiji handed over all the items to Lin Shixin for safekeeping on the spot.
Apart from the Jade Spirit Fruits awarded, the surplus Jade Spirit Fruits were to be exchanged at market value, and anyone was allowed to exchange for them.
The Jade Spirit Fruit Tree was also transplanted to the Spiritual Medicine Garden without delay, with clan members assigned to tend to it carefully; in a hundred years, it would bring yet another large bounty of resources.
With all matters settled, everyone busied themselves and dispersed.
Lin Tianming also immediately returned home to see his mother and sister. After some leisurely conversation, he retired to his room to rest.
Half a year of trials had left him extremely exhausted. Within just over ten breaths, he had fallen into a deep sleep.
