Chapter 935: Startling Sword and Wind-Thunder Hammer |
In addition to the compensation provided by the three big merchant families, Meng Zhang and his group gained a considerable amount of spoils from the battle in the spatial gaps.
The slain Primordial Spirit True Monarchs were not destitute; they all had some wealth, especially Luo Wenhui, the True Monarch of the Tool and Talisman League, who was the wealthiest among them.
Meng Zhang had been busy complaining to the Governor's Mansion and using its influence to resolve the matter, leaving him with little time to deal with the spoils.
After the Governor's Mansion intervened and forcibly put an end to the conflict between the parties, Taiyi Sect obtained temporary peace. It was only then that Meng Zhang had time to carefully count and prepare for a fair distribution of the spoils.
True Monarch Wen Dong left with True Monarch Crossing Blade and others after the matter was resolved.
In his eyes, Meng Zhang was not a peaceful person; as long as he was in the Jiuqu Province, there would likely be more troubles arising in the future.
During this incident, the three big merchant families also paid a considerable price to bribe True Monarch Wen Dong, granting him significant benefits.
Before leaving, True Monarch Wen Dong couldn't help but remind Meng Zhang not to engage in a full-scale battle with the three big merchant families in the Jiuqu Province.
True Monarch Wen Dong knew that the current peace was only temporary, and sooner or later, there would be a larger-scale conflict between them.
Meng Zhang assumed the role of a victim and directly told True Monarch Wen Dong that he was not the one making these decisions. Every time, it was the three big merchant families who took the initiative, and he was forced to retaliate.
Hearing this, True Monarch Wen Dong didn't bother saying more and simply left.
As for Meng Zhang, he still had a lot to deal with.
Even with the capabilities of the Grand Union of Merchants and the other three big merchant families, it would take a considerable amount of time and effort to procure such a large amount of compensation materials and transport them slowly.
Especially for some resources that needed to be brought from the Dali Dynasty's mainland, the time required would be even longer.
According to the agreement, as long as the compensation was completed within six months, it would not be considered a breach of contract.
Meng Zhang would also spend a lot of time carefully inspecting each batch of cultivation materials that arrived.
After sorting and organizing all the items from the slain Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, Meng Zhang made a relatively fair distribution, allocating everything to the participants of the battle.Liao Yuan and Liao Xing, the two Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, each had two Fourth Rank magic tools, one for attack and one for defense. And after they were killed, these magic tools remained mostly intact.
Zhao Junli, the True Monarch, had three Fourth Rank magic tools, but two of them were already damaged.
Of course, as long as the damage to Fourth Rank magic tools is not too severe, they can be slowly repaired.
In addition to contributing three Fourth Rank magic tools, the deceased True Monarch Luo Wenhui also contributed many precious Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects.
Among them, one Fourth Rank XuMi Stone, in particular, was the most precious and rare.
When a cultivator reaches the mid-stage of Primordial Spirit realm, they can refine an independent mustard seed space.
This independent mustard seed space can be used to store various personal items of Primordial Spirit True Monarchs. Compared to various storage magic tools, the mustard seed space is safer and more reliable.
The size, level, and method of refinement of the mustard seed space depend on the materials used.
If only ordinary Void Nether Stones are used, the refined mustard seed space can only store inanimate objects, not much different from ordinary storage magic tools.
However, with sufficient investment in materials, the refined mustard seed space can not only have a large capacity but also support the sustenance of living creatures.
As a cultivator with a heritage, Meng Zhang also knows that the mustard seed space can be upgraded.
By establishing a good foundation and continuously investing precious resources in the future, the mustard seed space can even be upgraded to a small world, supporting the breeding and propagation of creatures within it.
It is said that if a cultivator masters certain secret techniques, they can even harness the power of the small world in combat.
The XuMi Stone before them is undoubtedly one of the best materials for refining the mustard seed space.
True Monarch Luo Wenhui must have worked hard to obtain this XuMi Stone, probably intending to use it for refining his mustard seed space.
However, by participating in the attack on Taiyi Sect and dying before accomplishing his goal, he inadvertently provided Meng Zhang with a windfall.
Meng Zhang was the cultivator who made the most significant contribution in this battle, single-handedly determining the outcome by killing the most challenging enemy.
According to the conventions of the Cultivation World, in the distribution of spoils, not only was he entitled to the largest share, but he also had priority in selecting items.
Including the XuMi Stone, Meng Zhang obtained all the spiritual treasures from True Monarch Luo Wenhui.
Among the three Fourth Rank magic tools on True Monarch Luo Wenhui, the array disc was the most precious, as it was his natal magic tool.After his death, this natal magic tool also suffered heavy damage, with its spiritual essence greatly depleted.
However, Meng Zhang still chose this array disc.
The promising disciple Wen Qiansun, who was highly regarded by Meng Zhang, had already reached the Gold Core completion stage and was not far from breaking through to the Primordial Spirit stage.
Giving this array disc to this disciple who excelled in formations should allow it to be used to its full potential.
The Fourth Rank flying sword, Jinghong Sword, on True Monarch Luo Wenhui was a very decent flying sword.
However, True Monarch Luo Wenhui's swordsmanship proficiency was average, and he couldn't fully unleash the power of this flying sword. Many times, he only used the flying sword for show.
Ironically, Meng Zhang had exceptional swordsmanship skills and was adept at sword control techniques. Yet, Fourth Rank magic swords were rare, and even after entering the Primordial Spirit stage, he still didn't have a flying sword that suited his preferences.
He had previously seized a Thousand Troops Sword but ended up detonating it during a battle because the tool spirit didn't cooperate.
Now, with the acquisition of the Jinghong Sword, Meng Zhang became increasingly satisfied with it and immediately put it away.
As an assassin with a glorious record, True Monarch Zhao Junli had also amassed considerable wealth.
The two Fourth Rank magic tools on Zhao Junli were damaged during his confrontation with Meng Zhang.
He had accidentally obtained a pair of Fourth Rank magic hammers, Wind-Thunder Hammers, but was unable to refine them and could only preserve them carefully.
Now that he had been defeated and died, everything on him fell into Meng Zhang's hands without a fight.
Meng Zhang's senior disciple, Niu Dawei, was currently in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Primordial Spirit stage. Moreover, his primary cultivation method was the "Wind-Thunder True Interpretation."
Meng Zhang planned to keep these Wind-Thunder Hammers and use them as a gift to celebrate Niu Dawei's successful breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit stage after he emerged from seclusion.
After Meng Zhang had prioritized selecting the spoils, Yang Xueyi, He Luo True Monarch, and Xu Mengying continued to distribute the remaining spoils.
Yang Xueyi, who had just broken through to the Primordial Spirit stage and didn't have any Fourth Rank magic tools before, finally made up for this deficiency and obtained one.
No one among them was petty, so there was no quarrel over distributing the spoils. Yang Xueyi, despite being a new Primordial Spirit cultivator, had shown impressive strength during this Primordial Spirit battle and made considerable contributions.
After some discussions, everyone divided the spoils amicably, and each of them was relatively satisfied.
