Chapter 619 Inventorying the Spoils of War! Eunuch Wei has broken through!
Zhao Yu's face turned ashen!
He stared intently at the head on the ground, his lips moving several times but unable to utter a single word.
You should know that Li Jiuyuan, in his early Nascent Soul stage, was an old demon who roamed the Boundless Sea for hundreds of years and was even beyond the reach of the East China Sea Army.
He was actually killed by this eunuch, who even brought his head back.
Zhao Yu's words, "ambitious but incompetent, ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth," still echoed in his ears, but now felt like a resounding slap in the face.
This is not the first time.
He was humiliated in front of the selection stone tablet, he was humiliated in the government office, and now he has been humiliated again in the same place.
Every time, he was the one who offered his face, and every time the blows were loud and painful.
Zhao Yan could no longer hide his smile and waved for the fat steward to step forward and verify.
The portly deacon cautiously picked up the head and demon core, probing them with his divine sense to confirm their identities, his voice still trembling slightly:
"Li Jiuyuan's head and natal demonic core confirmed. Mission to kill Li Jiuyuan, a demonic cultivator in the early stage of the Boundless Sea Nascent Soul stage, is complete. 100,000 contribution points will be immediately added to the Gold Medal Offering Order."
Upon hearing this, the four princes' trusted retainers in the government office all lowered their heads, not daring to meet Chen Fan's gaze.
Hahaha!
Han Cen stroked his beard and burst into laughter, his laughter filled with a long-suppressed joy.
Ouyang Ye grinned, a rare occurrence for him. He patted Chen Fan on the shoulder and said in a hoarse voice, "Well done."
……
As the noise in the hall gradually subsided, Chen Fan handed over Li Jiuyuan's head and the demon core, then received a certificate for 100,000 contribution points and left the offering hall.
Outside the palace, the sun was already setting in the west, and the golden afterglow shone on the white jade streets of the imperial city, casting his shadow long.
He walked back along the way he came, his pace unhurried, but in his mind he was calculating what he had gained from this trip.
Just as I arrived at the gate of the mansion, before I even entered, I heard a series of hurried footsteps behind me.
Looking back, he saw the old steward from the First Prince's residence, panting as he caught up, and presented an invitation with his hands clasped: "Master Chen, His Highness is hosting a banquet at his residence tonight, and has specially ordered me to invite you to grace us with your presence."
Chen Fan took the invitation, glanced at it, and nodded: "Your Highness, I will arrive on time."
The old steward readily agreed, bowed, and withdrew.
Chen Fan pushed open the mansion gate, passed through the front yard, and went straight into the main hall.
He closed the doors and windows, and set up two isolation barriers around the area before sitting down at the square table in the center of the hall. He then took off the storage bags he had brought back from the Boundless Sea and placed them on the table.
Li Jiuyuan's storage bag was the first one.
Upon closer inspection, the storage bag is made entirely of dark red demon leather, with a blood-red flame emblem embroidered on the opening. It feels warm to the touch, yet carries a faint hint of heat.
Chen Fan used his divine sense to probe inside and broke through the restrictions one by one, then poured out everything inside.
Tens of thousands of magic crystals and other magical artifacts were visible to the naked eye!
It contains over 800,000 mid-grade magic crystals, over 30,000 high-grade magic crystals, and 200 top-grade magic crystals.
Based on the exchange rate in the Boundless Sea Black Market, these magic crystals, converted into mid-grade spirit stones used by righteous cultivators, would be worth at least 1.5 million.
This one stroke alone is equivalent to the sum of his tasks in the Hall of Offerings over several years.
Chen Fan sorted and put away the magic crystals, and then examined all the magic artifacts one by one.
Three magical artifacts at the Divine Transformation level.
A dark red demonic sword with nine blood-red demonic runes engraved on its blade. A fist-sized Nascent Soul level demonic core is embedded at the end of the hilt. When it is swung, blood-fiend demonic flames accompany it!
This is Li Jiuyuan's natal demonic weapon, the Blood Fiend Blade, which is of superior quality even among magic treasures in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm.
A set of twelve blood-red demonic needles, specifically designed to break through protective auras and demonic energy defenses; extremely insidious.
A dark red magic ring, with an extremely intricate magic rune engraved on its surface. Upon probing it with divine sense, it was discovered that a wisp of Li Jiuyuan's natal demonic soul was sealed within. In times of crisis, it could summon a Blood Fiend Demon Shadow of the Nascent Soul level to protect the body, making it a rare life-saving magic treasure.
In addition, there are more than ten Nascent Soul level magical artifacts, hundreds of various magical pills, dozens of cultivation technique jade slips, as well as a large amount of demonic beast materials, spiritual ores and herbs.
If all of these things were converted into cash, it would be a considerable fortune.
After Chen Fan finished checking Li Jiuyuan's storage bag, he opened Tu Laomo's storage bag.
Tu Laomo's collection is less than Li Jiuyuan's, but its quality is by no means lower!
Inside are two demonic artifacts of the Nascent Soul level: one is a dark green Poison Demon Banner, and the other is a Poison Demon Dagger forged from the bones of a thousand-year-old poisonous dragon.
There are over 10,000 high-grade magic crystals and 120 top-grade magic crystals.
Various poison pills and powders were piled up like mountains, many of which were rare and deadly poisons that even Chen Fan couldn't name. He carefully sealed these poisons separately in a jade box, and then reinforced the box with two layers of restrictions before storing it in his storage ring.
Finally, there were the storage bags seized from the Nascent Soul demon cultivators during the battle of Black Reef Island, as well as the storage bags of elders like Pei Qian on Demon Abyss Island, totaling more than twenty.
Although the items in these storage bags are not as high-grade as those in Li Jiuyuan's and Tu Laomo's collections, they are numerous!
It contains hundreds of Nascent Soul level magical artifacts and countless magical pills and crystals.
Chen Fan roughly estimated that the total value of this batch of supplies alone was no less than three million mid-grade spirit stones.
He sorted all the items into categories, keeping the useful ones and preparing to sell the unused ones in batches later.
After finishing all this, Chen Fan let out a long breath, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes to rest for a while.
Zhuo Ma found that the gains from this trip to the Boundless Sea far exceeded his expectations: 100,000 contribution points, millions of magic crystals and spirit stones, five Nascent Soul level magic artifacts, and the Black Soul Banner, after devouring the souls of hundreds of demon cultivators, had faintly touched the threshold of Nascent Soul level magic treasures.
More importantly, he has successfully cultivated both immortal and demonic arts. Now, his demonic cultivation has reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, and his spiritual cultivation has also improved somewhat under the feedback from his demonic arts. His overall combat strength is comparable to that of a half-step Divine Transformation cultivator.
However, these gains are far from enough.
Only one-tenth of the goal of one million contribution points has been achieved, and the cultivation of both immortals and demons has only just begun. There is still a long way to go before reaching the Divine Transformation stage.
Chen Fan sighed for a moment, then with a thought, he disappeared from the main hall and entered the world inside the bowl.
In the courtyard, Eunuch Wei was sitting on a bamboo chair, flipping through an account book with his fingers delicately poised. Hearing footsteps, he looked up, his slender eyes lighting up slightly when he saw Chen Fan, before reverting to his usual stern expression.
Chen Fan only glanced at him before noticing the difference!
Wei Gonggong's aura was more than twice as condensed as before. The golden core in his dantian, which was originally covered with cracks, had disappeared and been replaced by a nascent soul that looked seven parts like him!
"Oh, you've broken through." Chen Fan sat down across the stone table, his tone indifferent.
