I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 146 - 112: Breaching Jade Belt Mountain and Counting the Spoils_3

Chapter 146: Chapter 112: Breaching Jade Belt Mountain and Counting the Spoils_3

"Being able to hand over all the spoils of war willingly truly requires some boldness..."

Judging from the performance in this mission, this Senior Brother Wan truly embodies the future leadership of Changchun Sect’s disciples.

This is unrelated to aptitude and more about the unique charisma and leadership they possess.

...

After the great battle, the group collected the resources and spirit stones from these tribulation cultivators.

One of the most notorious groups of tribulation cultivators in recent years, with over three hundred cultivators.

Among them, there were quite a number of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

In addition, the Jade Belt Scholar was busy escaping, so many of the stockade’s assets couldn’t be transferred in time.

Therefore, spirit stones, magical treasures, pills, herbs, and other resources piled up to a small mountain.

Just the spirit stones numbered no less than a hundred thousand pieces, not to mention other resources.

Wan Xun captured the hearts of people during this mission, and thus he was given the task of distributing the spoils.

"Ao Shixiang, who arranged the Earth Dragon Trapping Elephant Array, did not participate in the final battle but contributed to breaking it. His merits rank first, so he can select the spoils first..."

"Junior Brother Lin Chen, who contributed to the array formation, also ranked first in beheading tribulation cultivators, with merits alongside Junior Brother Ao."

Wan Xun took out a piece of paper, detailing every disciple’s contributions during the mission, with clear rewards and punishments.

"Junior Brother Lin, Junior Brother Ao, please step forward... and select your spoils first."

Ao Shixiang smiled gratefully and took many array materials and a damaged Mountain Protection Array plate from the sect.

As for Lin Chen...

He thought for a moment and said to Wan Xun:

"Senior Brother Wan, I don’t lack pills or magical treasures. Could I have spirit stones instead?"

Wan Xun, after thinking for a moment, replied, "Alright, then I’ll give you fifty thousand spirit stones... how does that sound?"

Lin Chen nodded slightly; fifty thousand spirit stones were quite a gain for him.

The other disciples did not object, as Lin Chen’s warning about the Five Thunders had essentially saved them.

"Next, Junior Brother Li, Junior Brother Wang... you all contributed to the array and had many beheadings. You can choose your spoils next..."

Wan Xun was highly efficient, allocating the spoils among the disciples in less than two hours.

All the disciples were satisfied without complaints.

Though this was a major victory, Wan Xun still spoke with concern:

"Although we have uprooted the Jade Belt Stockade and this group of tribulation cultivators can’t cause trouble anymore..."

"The Jade Belt Scholar still managed to escape, so once this is settled, I will apply to the sect to hunt him down!"

"As it’s getting late today, let’s rest in Jade Belt City for a day and return to the sect tomorrow..."

The group soon left Jade Belt Mountain and returned to the inn.

...

The next morning, Wan Xun gathered the disciples to return to the Changchun Sect.

But before that, Lin Chen sought him out.

"Senior Brother Wan, you all head back first... I have some matters to handle here in Jade Belt City."

Wan Xun frowned slightly and said:

"Junior Brother Lin, the Jade Belt Scholar is still at large and could return at any time..."

"Don’t worry, Senior Brother, I have this under control!"

Lin Chen displayed a confident expression.

Seeing Lin Chen’s determination, Senior Brother Wan sighed lightly, "Junior Brother, if that’s the case... then be careful!"

...

Once all the fellow disciples had left, Lin Chen left the inn alone.

In a secluded place, he disguised himself as Han the Sixth.

First, he counted his gains from the extermination of the Jade Belt Stockade.

There were fifty thousand spirit stones alone, and at least seven or eight thousand sect contribution points.

"It’s quite a substantial side income, but the more important thing is figuring out these tribulation cultivators’ tactics!"

Lin Chen thought silently.

Jade Belt Mountain was strong but posed almost no threat to Lin Chen.

Considering that the other two paths of tribulation cultivators might be slightly stronger than the Jade Belt Stockade, but likely not by much.

If Lin Chen acted alone, he could completely annihilate the other two groups of tribulation cultivators as well.

"It’s a pity that this has to be done secretly and can’t be reported to the sect..."

"But before that, I must not miss trading in the shops of Jade Belt City."

Lin Chen muttered to himself.

Jade Belt City is the second-largest city in the Yanlai Realm, with a mortal population of millions.

There were also many loose cultivators, naturally, there was a dedicated cultivator marketplace.

In such a blue ocean, he naturally had to trade first and profit immensely.

"There’s still more than two hundred thousand spirit stones to go before reaching a million... I wonder how much I can earn in Jade Belt City?"

Lin Chen first found an inn to settle down.

Then he released Long Ba and Feng Jiu to trade on his behalf.

With treasures that concealed divine senses and updated artificial intelligence.

Long Ba and Feng Jiu looked at most like slightly eccentric cultivators, whom ordinary cultivators couldn’t identify as puppets.

In the following days, Long Ba and Feng Jiu went out trading every day.

Either going to shops to sell magical treasures and pills or setting up stalls in the marketplace.

Lin Chen simply became the armchair businessman, comfortably staying in the inn to cultivate.

With the efforts of the two martial arts puppets, thousands of spirit stones were earned daily.

Until the day before returning, Lin Chen encountered a strange incident.

That morning, as usual, Lin Chen went downstairs for a stroll, only to find a crowd of mortals and cultivators gathered at the inn’s entrance.

Several strong men dressed in government official uniforms wielded long blades, clearing away the onlookers.

When the crowd dispersed, Lin Chen saw a pool of fresh blood on the ground.

Covered by a layer of clothing.

Upon closer inspection, beneath the clothing were several pieces of shriveled human skin...

The blood on the human skin had not yet dried, clearly peeled off the previous night.

Lin Chen stood at a distance with a serious expression as he watched this scene.

He thought of the three strange things the fortune-telling blind man had told him...

In the city, adult men must not go out, else they risk being skinned by ghosts and monsters.

But from what he saw and sensed...

This was not ghosts and monsters skinning... it was clearly the work of an evil cultivator!

"Interesting, which evil cultivator is daring enough to peel a mortal’s skin, not fearing the deepening karmic force..."
