Daqin Zhentiansi

Each jade box also contained exotic flowers and fruits.

Large quantities of rare fruits and exotic flowers used for refining high-level pills and enhancing cultivation, such as Dragon Blood Bodhi, Vermilion Fruit, and Soul Nourishing Fruit, were transported in baskets.

Seven Spiritual Essence Jade Hearts!

The size of a human head, made of pure spiritual energy condensed into liquid, is a treasure for opening up top-tier cave dwellings or for nourishing super-powerful beings.

The Five Elements Essence is a highly refined and compressed essence of the Five Elements, comprising hundreds of formulas with a wide range of applications.

The "treasured treasures" of each sect, these objects that represent the foundation of a power, symbolic meaning, and even part of the source of power, were brutally stripped from the core of the spiritual vein, the ancestral hall, and even the corpse of the sect leader!

The Zhou Tian Star Chart, the most treasured artifact of the Gu Chen Dao Sect, was destroyed by the fierce aura of the Qin army, which broke through the protective barrier of the mountain. Yu Wanjun, wielding a heavy halberd, shattered the Star Orbit Altar and directly seized the artifact.

This treasure is a three-foot-long jade star plate inlaid with 360 star stones. When it rotates, it draws in the power of the stars in the heavens. When it is violently stripped away, it bursts out with a galactic vortex, but it is forcibly bound and suppressed by soldiers with chains of qi and blood.

The Pure Moon Glazed Cauldron of the Pure Moon Dao Sect was corrupted by the Poisonous Lady, who corrupted the consciousness of the elder guarding the cauldron. Pei Lie used his sword to lift the cauldron lid, causing the alchemical energy to surge violently, thus directly obtaining this treasure.

This is a seven-aperture medicine cauldron that is as transparent as ice crystals, and inside the cauldron is a "Moonlight Small Grotto Heaven".

The process of peeling away the poisonous pills triggered a backlash from three thousand strands of cinnabar energy, which was forcefully dispersed by the baleful aura of the military formation.

The golden statue of Master Jingyue, inlaid at the bottom of the cauldron, was crushed into dust by military boots.

The Heavenly Rainbow Robe of Hehuan Gate, light as mist yet concealing three thousand alluring threads, captivates the heart and soul of all who touch it.

His clothes were cut off by Yin Jiuyou with the Netherworld Dagger, and all his spiritual light was lost.

There is another treasure, called "Red Dust Guide," a pair of purple jade bells carved with the secret patterns of the Acacia Tree, which are captivating when shaken.

It was still tied to the waist of Hua Meiniang's corpse when it was seized.

A flying sword shimmering with light, an ancient cauldron covered in runes, a landscape scroll containing a microcosm of the world, a demon-subduing pestle radiating inner brilliance...

A total of forty-nine items!

These "divine artifacts," which were usually worshipped by countless disciples and carefully offered to by powerful cultivators, were now being carried and piled up on the crystal floor of the Zhenhai Ship's vast bridge, just like worthless scrap metal.

The dazzling light of the treasures shone brightly, and the terrifying spiritual pressure intertwined, almost forming a small storm, reflecting in the deep and indifferent eyes of Zhang Yuan, who sat high on the bridge, his black robe fluttering.

Yunlan Immortal Sect.

Qingling Daoren and the Supreme Elder, who was barely clinging to life, were "invited" to a temporary high platform set up next to the Zhenhai Ship Bridge.

They watched as the symbols of the annihilated flying ships faded and went out one after another on the huge topographical map of Qizhou.

Looking at the spectacular bursts of light that occasionally erupted on the distant horizon, one could see that the core formations of sects whose gates had been breached were either self-destructing or being detonated.

Watching the enormous airship return fully loaded, unloading the mountains of resources, and then herding a new batch of prisoners like sheep...

Their eyes were numb, filled with a bewildered look of extreme fear.

Qingling nearly collapsed several times, only to be held up by her equally pale-faced disciple.

The Supreme Elder's breath grew weaker and weaker, his lips trembled as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he remained silent.

The remaining Yunlan disciples, witnessing the truly terrifying methods of this "friendly force," were all terrified and dared not even breathe loudly.

I thought the reinforcements I brought in would be easy to talk to.

They kept their heads down and didn't speak, only focusing on killing.

……

In Zhang Yuan's eyes, simply plundering resources is the foundation; talent is the real treasure.

Elder Ouyang Ye of the Li Huo Treasure Pavilion, who was imprisoned by the Demon Suppression Tower and entangled by shadow threads, was brought directly to Zhang Yuan.

Faced with this ferocious god who had easily killed two Void-Controlling Demons, Ouyang Ye's face showed only fear and a trace of a weapon refiner's resentment towards an unknown technique.

"look into my eyes."

Zhang Yuan's voice carried a strange rhythm, like a whisper from the deep sea. Ouyang Ye subconsciously looked up, instantly plunging into a churning, chaotic sea of ​​stars!

Deep within Zhang Yuan's eyes lies not just simple divine soul power, but an unfathomable existence that integrates the true meaning of chaos, the origin of martial arts, and the will of the unity of heaven and man!
In an instant, Ouyang Ye's mind was forcibly pulled into an illusion.

No longer a dark interrogation room, but beside a blazing furnace!
The young Ouyang Ye was sweating profusely as he condensed an incredibly complex divine rune.

Just as the furnace was about to explode in failure, a middle-aged senior brother with an indistinct face but a calm demeanor appeared in time.

A stream of pure true fire essence was injected, which not only stabilized the situation but also pointed out the key techniques to him!

The scenes shift, showing countless near-death experiences, with this "senior brother" always stepping in to save them...

Under Zhang Yuan's willpower, the face of this "senior brother" gradually became clear—

This is exactly what Zhang Yuan looks like now!

That kindness, that protection, that camaraderie forged in the shared pursuit of knowledge and skills—these feelings were deeply imprinted in the deepest recesses of Ouyang Ye's memory, replacing the humiliation and fear of his capture.

As the illusion dissipated, Ouyang Ye looked at Zhang Yuan with eyes full of filial piety, guilt, and the joy of reunion. His voice trembled and choked with sobs: "Senior...Senior Brother! It was you! I deserve to die! I failed to recognize you before and even attacked you! Please punish me, Senior Brother!"

He struggled to kneel in worship.

"It's alright. We parted so hastily back then, it's understandable that my junior brother doesn't recognize me."

Zhang Yuan's voice was gentle, carrying the authority of a superior and a hint of "imperceptible regret".

"Now that we've reunited, Senior Brother is in dire need of a capable assistant skilled in weapon crafting. Perhaps Junior Brother could come with me? If there are any familiar and outstanding disciples or fellow disciples we could invite to join us, that would be the best outcome."

Zhang Yuan's voice was incredibly gentle.

"Yes! Ouyang is willing!"

"Junior brother will write a letter now, no! Junior brother will go back personally! I will definitely bring my most outstanding disciple from the Li Huo Treasure Pavilion and several friends to follow senior brother and study the Great Dao of Weapon Refining together!"

Ouyang Ye felt as if he had found his pillar of support, his face filled with excitement and eagerness.

Similar scenes keep playing out.

A sect elder, renowned for his array formations, "suddenly" recalled a lost artifact related to the sect's revival after a brief "interaction" with Zhang Yuan. He seemed to have seen its aura on one of Zhang Yuan's array formation masters!

In order to find this "lost treasure" and "lost legacy", he resolutely decided to bring along his best disciples, ostensibly for "mutual exchange and verification".

A captured alchemy master suddenly realized that Zhang Yuan carried the aura of a legendary elixir that he had been searching for his entire life but had never found!

The alchemist's fervor instantly overwhelmed all fear. In order to witness this legendary divine object and the profound Dao of alchemy, he did not hesitate to submit and cooperate.

It could be a psychological manipulation, implying that the future pinnacle of alchemy lies in Zhang Yuan's hands, or it could be a forceful suppression followed by promises of irresistible resource support and research environment...

Zhang Yuan employed a variety of techniques he was skilled in, and a large number of Qi Zhou's top special talents were brought together.

Alchemy, weapon crafting, formations, beast taming, talisman control...

They were "voluntarily" packed up and taken away.

With the resources inventoried and the talents recruited, Zhang Yuan's gaze finally returned to Qingling Daoist and the Supreme Elder, who were now utterly despondent.

"The Great Qin has responded to your request for assistance."

"Your clan's enemy, the Great Qin, has been destroyed."

Zhang Yuan's voice was calm, yet it struck the hearts of both of them like a heavy hammer.

"Now, I give you two choices."

The atmosphere on the high platform was tense.

Qingling Daoist's body trembled slightly. (End of Chapter)
