Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 337 Cruel-hearted
"It's done, it's done!"

"Commander, we're rich now!"

Li Jihu glanced at the chattering members of the demon-hunting team beside him and said with a hint of helplessness, "Can't you guys be a little more dignified?"

"Hehe, we're not like our commander, who's used to big scenes."

A short young man in his early twenties grinned.

Li Jihu was secretly delighted.

Even though he was a member of the Li family, he had never seen so many supplies before.
He recalled that once when a gathering was held in Changyang Valley, he helped his family escort several large boxes there.

But he had no idea what was inside.

Naturally, I wasn't shocked.

But now, his grin extends all the way to behind his ears.

However, as the head of a regiment, Li Jihu inevitably had to put on an act.

He slapped the short young man on the head. "Song Ye, you talk too much. Keep an eye on your storage bag. If you lose it, I won't let you off the hook."

Song Ye quickly covered his stomach with his hands, then grinned foolishly and said, "I won't lose it, I won't lose it!"

"Look at you, you pathetic sight!"

Li Jihu looked at him with a disappointed expression.

Watching the group playfully bicker, Meng An, who was following closely behind, looked as if he had lost his parents.

These robbers, however, did not empty the warehouse.

It's not that they don't want to, but that they can't fit it all in.

However, high-value items make up only a small portion of the warehouse.

When Meng An saw the group take out their storage bags, he knew he was doomed.

When the chieftain returns, he will surely be burned alive.

Thinking of this, Meng An choked up a little: "Heroes, you've taken the stuff, and you have the warehouse key. The rest is up to you. Why not let me leave? I have elderly parents and young children to support; I can't afford to have anything happen to them!"

Li Jihu and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

Song Ye was the first to react, and said with a grin, "Commander, it's fine to let him go, we've already taken the stuff anyway."

"no!"

A middle-aged cultivator in his forties next to him shook his head: "We're not doing this for ourselves. We don't know what's going on with Hall Master Li. Do we need to question this person? Even if we don't, we should still finish what we started."

"Uncle Zhang is right."

Li Jihu immediately nodded.

This Uncle Zhang, named Zhang Guangqing, is a steady and thoughtful person with a cultivation level of seven in Qi Refining. Therefore, he relies on him greatly and listens to his words without question.

Upon hearing this, Song Ye pursed his lips but said nothing.

He wasn't a newcomer to Puyin Mountain, and he was still intimidated by the commander's superior.

Upon hearing that he wouldn't be allowed to leave, Meng An looked indignant and grief-stricken: "You can't do this!"

Li Jihu turned around and shouted, "Take him away!"

"Yes!"

Empty-handed, Song Ye immediately stepped forward, kicked Meng An in the butt, and then roughly grabbed his arm.

Meng An was furious. He was a Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator, after all. How could he allow Song Ye, who was of the same cultivation level, to bully him?

Before he could react, Li Jihu strode forward and punched him.

Caught off guard, Meng An, despite managing to erect a magical shield in time, was still left dizzy and disoriented by the shockwave.

Li Jihu gathered his magical power and struck several times in succession.

He was originally a Qi Refining Stage 7 cultivator, practicing the Yang Force of Hunyuan Ruyi Jin, whose magical power was strong and destructive.

In contrast, Meng An was completely disoriented, with almost no control over his magic power. He couldn't withstand the attacks for long and began vomiting blood. Even his magic power shield was completely shattered.

Li Jihu grabbed Meng An's collar menacingly: "Have you forgotten who we are?"

Meng An's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly got up from the ground.

Yes, these people in front of us are Tribulation Cultivators.

A thief who readily steals people's money and kills them!
Seeing that he had regained his senses, Li Jihu nodded in satisfaction and led the way. Zhang Guangqing sighed upon seeing this.

The Li Jihu who first came to Puyin Mountain, who was meticulous and even a little weak, has completely disappeared.

But it's all for the best; in Puyin Mountain, you have to be ruthless to survive longer.

The group did not return empty-handed. Apart from Li Jihu and Song Ye, the other three each pushed a cart piled high with supplies, swaying precariously as they walked along the mountain road.

Fortunately, the group was quick on their feet and soon returned to the gate where Li Xiangming was.

However, what they saw left everyone speechless.

In the vast open space, nearly a hundred people knelt down. Every now and then, someone would get up and throw their belongings into the circular open space in the middle. Before long, a "small mountain" of things had been piled up in the circular open space.

“This is too…”

Li Jihu realized he had misspoke halfway through his sentence and quickly swallowed the word "exaggeration" that he hadn't yet uttered.

Li Xiangming glanced at him and said indifferently, "Go pick up a few storage bags."

"Storage bags?"

Li Jihu was overjoyed. He put down the cart and quickly searched around the "hill". In no time, he found a total of six storage bags.

Storage bags are not cheap; even the cheapest ones cost over a hundred spirit stones. Generally, only cultivators who have reached the late stage of Qi Refining are willing to buy them for the convenience of going out on training trips.

Taking his demon-hunting team as an example, only he and Zhang Guangqing have their own storage bags.

Song Ye's was borrowed by Li Xiangming temporarily.

At this moment, Li Xiangming's voice continued: "Those without storage bags, take one each; those with storage bags, each pick a few that you like."

Everyone swallowed hard, staring expectantly at Li Jihu.

Li Jihu nodded, and Song Ye immediately beamed with joy. He picked out a storage bag of decent quality, but when he probed it with his divine sense, he was startled.

Li Jihu warned at the opportune moment: "No one is allowed to keep anything inside."

Song Ye looked dejected, but dared not disobey the leader, so he had no choice but to transfer the contents of the bag to an empty storage bag.

Before long, Song Ye and the other two had all received their storage bags, and Li Jihu and Zhang Guangqing had also chosen their rewards.

Li Jihu took a mid-grade magic artifact and four bottles of Yellow Sprout Pills.

Seeing this, Zhang Guangqing only took a mid-grade magic artifact.

The two weren't after other people's magical artifacts and wanted to possess them; rather, magical artifacts were easy to sell, which is why they were particularly favored by cultivators.

Seeing that the group had stopped, Li Xiangming flew over and with a wave of his hand, "Little Mountain" disappeared instantly, much to the amazement of Song Ye and the others.

The disciples of the Star Absorbing Village, who were prostrate on the ground, looked ashen-faced.

But they dared not put up any resistance in front of the Foundation Establishment cultivators and the Black Water Serpent.

At this moment, Li Jihu stepped forward and presented five storage bags.

Of these five storage bags, two were given to Li Xiangming beforehand. They were the old storage bags that Li Xiangming had placed in the underground cave of Green Cloud Cave, which he retrieved a few days ago when he visited the tomb of Green Cloud Fairy with Zhang Min.

The other one comes from the French karst cave section.

At this moment, both storage bags were filled with all sorts of items.

Li Jihu said in a low voice, "I didn't take any of the less valuable items, such as spirit rice, spirit cloth, or ordinary gold and silver treasures."

Although the storeroom of the Star-Absorbing Village was far inferior to that of the Li family, it was still not something that could be contained in just two storage bags.

Small items like spirit stones and elixirs are naturally not a problem to have too many of.

However, items like spirit herbs and monster materials, which are numerous and varied, are not easy to obtain.

Even a dozen or so spiritual herbs can only be sold for one spirit stone.

They each occupy a jade box.

Otherwise, it will lose its medicinal properties over time.

Take the Green Cloud Cave as an example. They could easily harvest a batch of spiritual herbs and get thousands of jade boxes and dozens of large chests.

An ordinary storage bag can hold at most three or four large boxes.

If you were to sell this batch of spiritual herbs, how many storage bags would you need to prepare?
