Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 67 Murder and Arson: The Golden Belt

"Um?"

Ji Yuan, who had just taken out three storage bags, looked up at Qiu Qianhai and asked, "Didn't we agree to split it 50/50?"

"I didn't do anything to kill them, you did it all. And all of this was caused by me, yet you're dragged down with me."

Qiu Qianhai's expression was rather unpleasant.

"That's fine, you can have all of that. I have to return those assets... My conscience is too troubled, I can't sleep at night."

"this……"

Seeing that Qiu Qianhai's expression didn't seem fake, Ji Yuan had no choice but to nod.

Qiu Qianhai breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face. "Damn it, those bastards in the Qin family are really rich. They have so many good things on them."

After saying that, he emptied everything out of his storage bag.

Ji Yuan naturally noticed this as well.

Putting everything else aside, this storage bag is even bigger than Ji Yuan's.

The one he's using now is the original one-foot square, which now seems a bit too small.

For example, he had nowhere to put the stone crab he killed.

However, Hu Da's storage bag was three feet square, and the space inside was significantly larger.

"There are quite a few magical artifacts as well."

Qiu Qianhai casually rummaged around and took out all the magical artifacts.

Both of them had a flying knife magic weapon, as well as a protective magic weapon called the Xuan Guang Shield, which must have been specially prepared for them by the Qin family.

The person who fought Qiu Qianhai was killed by the Golden Seal Talisman and the Yin Ghost, and the robe he was wearing was undamaged.

However, that boot-shaped magical artifact was only possessed by the person who fought Ji Yuan.

After discussion, they agreed to each receive one of the flying knives and the Xuan Guang Shield, give the intact robe to Qiu Qianhai, and keep the boots for Ji Yuan.

Each person also had one of the two medium-grade Dharma ships.

As for talismans, all the high-grade ones are gone.

After a fierce battle, all the usable resources had naturally been used.

So much so that even the person Ji Yuan ultimately killed was using a mid-grade protective talisman.

The remaining talismans and pills weren't anything special, so the two of them split them equally. Ji Yuan estimated that if they sold them, they could fetch forty or fifty spirit stones.

There weren't many spirit stones left; they must have been used for the two of them's cultivation.

Ji Yuan only managed to get 12 coins after the distribution.

However, the Liu brothers had a lot more spirit stones in their storage bags. Ji Yuan glanced at them and, not counting talismans and pills, there were 108 spirit stones in total.

Tsk, no wonder he is the most renowned Tribulation Cultivator in Qingbo Pool.

They don't have many magical artifacts; each has one offensive artifact and one defensive artifact, suggesting they specialize in one rather than using a resource-based approach like Ji Yuan.

Currently, he possesses more than ten magical artifacts alone.

Once he uses all of them, he will be armed to the teeth. He even managed to acquire a rare magical boot.

Even if it's just a low-grade magic artifact.

Both of them used the most common protective magic weapons, shields, and both were mid-grade magic weapons.

In this way, it was time for Ji Yuan's Dragon Armor Shield to retire. He refined both of them slightly. Liu Da's iron-like shield was named "Golden Iron Shield", and Liu Er's rounded shield was named "Vine Wood Shield".

The Golden Iron Shield is a bit bulky, but it has stronger defensive capabilities and can grow to three zhang (approximately 10 meters) in size when necessary to protect the whole body.

The rattan shield is lighter, more flexible, and easier to handle.

Ji Yuan wasn't short of spirit stones at the moment, so after thinking about it, he decided to keep both shields and choose the appropriate shield based on the battlefield.

Furthermore, the Liu brothers' magical artifacts... both of them actually possessed water-splitting spikes.

Ji Yuan took them out one by one and held them in his hand, but something felt off.

"These two water-splitting spikes... seem to be together."

Qiu Qianhai leaned closer to look for a while and muttered something.

"I feel the same way. I'll try refining it."

After Ji Yuan finished speaking, spiritual energy invaded, and a few breaths later, there was a "ding" sound, and the two water-splitting daggers in his hands instantly closed.

The handle was glued together and gradually grew, eventually becoming a long spear with sharp blades at both ends.

"This is... a top-grade magic artifact!"

Ji Yuan gripped it with one hand and casually swung it around. A light blue halo emanated from the tip of the blade, its cold light chilling him to the bone. At the same time, a new memory appeared in his mind.

He glanced through it briefly and his eyes lit up.

"No wonder these two brothers were able to kill someone in the late stage of Qi Refining."

"How so?"

"This superior-grade magic weapon is called the 'Water-Splitting Dragon Spear.' It contains an extremely powerful spell that summons a water dragon when struck. They must have used this move to kill those in the late-stage Qi Refining realm. Moreover, it can be disassembled into two parts and used as two mid-grade magic weapons."

"No wonder."

Ji Yuan weighed the pros and cons and realized that with his mid-stage Qi Refining cultivation, activating this high-grade magic weapon would likely consume a great deal of energy.

It was for this reason that the Liu brothers disassembled it and used it as a mid-grade magic artifact.

Fortunately, it won't be long before Ji Yuan breaks through to the late stage of Qi Refining, at which point he will be able to freely control the Water Spear. When that time comes, he will be fearless in both close and long-range combat.

After putting away his first superior-grade magic weapon, Ji Yuan looked at the remaining items in his storage bag.

As for high-grade talismans, there are two more, both of which are protective talismans taken out of Liu Er's storage bag, named "Water Dragon Cover".

Its effect is roughly the same as that of the magical artifact Xuan Guang Shield of Ji Yuan.

In this way, we won't have to buy Iron Wall Talismans anymore.

But why don't they have any high-grade offensive talismans in their storage bags?

When Liu Da killed the stone crab, he used a high-grade talisman. Could it be that the two brothers only have this one talisman together?

That's unlikely... Ji Yuan felt that the Liu brothers shouldn't be this poor.

He then rummaged through the storage bag and finally pulled out two black pebbles that felt like pills in his hand and had some weight to them.

As soon as he took it out, Ji Yuan sensed a dangerous aura emanating from it.

"A mine?!"

Qiu Qianhai also recognized the thing and couldn't help but stare wide-eyed.

"Indeed, it's amazing that they had such a good thing. Luckily, they didn't use it in the Dead Hole."

Ji Yuan felt a sense of fear when he thought back on it.

Water mines are a type of magical artifact, but they are single-use artifacts. Once activated, they explode with tremendous power, almost equivalent to a full-force attack from a peak Qi Refining cultivator.

It is said that there is a magical artifact called the Heavenly Thunder Treasure on the Water Mine.

Once activated, it's equivalent to a full-force attack from a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Ji Yuan was about to suggest giving one to Qiu Qianhai, but Qiu Qianhai spoke up first, saying, "I don't want it, you keep it for yourself."

"you……"

"Alright."

Seeing that Qiu Qianhai seemed very afraid of owing him a favor, Ji Yuan didn't press the matter further. Instead, he took out the mid-grade talismans and many pills that Qiu Qianhai didn't need from his storage bag.

"Then don't refuse anymore, I don't need it anyway."

"All right."

What outsiders would fight tooth and nail for, they treat like useless trash, passing it around among themselves.

Ji Yuan even used the White Water Flying Sword to pry open the remaining stone crab carcass and examined it. There was no roe or fat, and not much meat at all.

I had no choice but to sell it at the Treasure Pavilion and exchange it for spirit stones.

But these weren't the most valuable things in their storage bags... The most valuable things in their storage bags were the cold iron sand.

Ji Yuan weighed it in his hand and estimated it to be about 24 or 25 pounds.

Qiu Qianhai said he didn't want this thing at all, saying that he could have as much of it as he wanted.

Ji Yuan glanced at his own storage bag. Adding the ones he had dug out from the dead hole earlier, as well as the ones he had stored up in the past few days, the total should be... forty-one jin!

If we sell them all at once, won't the market take off?

After dividing the spoils, the two set off again and arrived at the Baibaolou in Jingdefang.

We had a harvest once before, and now it's time for a second harvest.
