"Master Lin, what do you mean by this?"
Zhang De narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them.
"I have no other intentions. It was just that we had already agreed that Master Ma and I would obtain the necessary items first, is that right?"
Lin Xiuyuan looked ahead and said calmly, "Now that I have completed my mission and successfully cracked the cave's array, the item I need should be in that spirit beast pouch. Why don't I take a look first?"
On the table were three Qiankun bags, one of which was a spirit beast bag.
The spirit beast bag has a different aura, distinguishing it from ordinary Qiankun bags, making it easy to identify.
Since this matter concerns the future, Lin Xiuyuan didn't want anything to go wrong because of the division of spoils, so this action was very necessary.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Zhang De and the other two softened.
Jian Qiong smiled and spoke up to ease the atmosphere, saying, "Master Lin has indeed made a great contribution on this trip, otherwise we would probably have returned empty-handed. Since Master Lin is so eager, let's check the spirit beast bag first?"
Upon seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan immediately did not hesitate and directly channeled his magic power to capture the spirit beast pouch.
Having obtained the spirit beast pouch, Lin Xiuyuan kept a portion of his divine sense alert to the surroundings and couldn't wait to examine it.
Immediately, a look of joy appeared on Lin Xiuyuan's face.
Inside the spirit beast pouch were a group of demonic insects that resembled mosquitoes, but with obvious differences. They were much larger, about the size of wasps, with grayish-brown bodies and wings larger than their entire bodies.
The only thing they have in common is that their mouthparts are still long and pointed, like a sharp sword.
It was confirmed to be the Yin Spirit White Bird.
The term "white bird" mostly refers to mosquitoes, whose spirits are said to linger... hence the name. It seems that this name is more due to the innate supernatural abilities that these insects develop when they reach their full potential.
However, there were only a few, about fifty or so, and most of them seemed to have lost their lives...
The remaining ten or twenty white birds were weak, listless, and on the verge of death.
Lin Xiuyuan suppressed his excitement, opened the spirit beast pouch for everyone to see, and said:
"This is exactly what I need. There is nothing else in it. I will accept it. I hope you will have no objections? If the opportunities you fellow Daoists will gain later are insufficient, I will voluntarily make up for it."
The three of them released their divine senses to investigate, a strange light flashing in their eyes, a hint of greed emerging, but in the end they still nodded.
These are demonic insects listed on the Demon Ranking, and are quite valuable. However, their numbers are rather small, and they are all on the verge of death. It's uncertain whether they can still reproduce and be cultivated, which greatly reduces their value. But they are still estimated to be worth at least 100,000 spirit stones!
After all, they have the miraculous effect of removing erysipelas, but a large quantity is needed, otherwise these Yin Spirit White Birds would not be worth only 100,000 spirit stones.
However, it had already been agreed upon beforehand, and there were still two storage bags that had not been checked. After all, they were left behind by a Foundation Establishment stage expert, and their value was probably no less than that of a demonic insect like the Yin Spirit White Bird.
Otherwise, I'm afraid Lin Xiuyuan wouldn't have been able to put it away so easily at this moment.
The three of them turned their attention to the other two Qiankun bags.
Immediately, Zhang De waved his hand, remotely summoning two more storage bags.
Upon seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan took a few steps back, his face still showing joy.
Obtaining the Yin Spirit White Bird was the greatest opportunity for him at the moment. He no longer cared about the distribution of opportunities afterward, and he did not want to be drawn into the struggle because of it.
At that moment, Zhang De picked up a Qiankun bag to examine it. As soon as he opened it, a white spiritual light shot out and whistled through the air.
Through the faint light, one could discern that it was an object shaped like a vessel, resembling a small ceramic bottle.
It actually escaped on its own, seemingly possessing a kind of intelligence; it must be an ancient treasure.
The moment Lin Xiuyuan had this thought, Jian Qiong, who was standing to the side, showed a strong look of excitement on her face and immediately darted out.
Zhang De followed closely behind, immediately catching up and chasing after the white light.
Ma Kangcheng didn't make a move immediately. After looking at Lin Xiuyuan, he asked, "Master Lin, those two Qiankun bags are in Fellow Daoist Zhang's hands, as well as that item that we don't know if it's a rare treasure or an ancient treasure. Why don't we go and take a look together?"
Lin Xiuyuan stood still, shook his head, and said, "I have obtained what I needed. For me, this trip is already satisfactory. I have little intention of participating in the opportunities that follow."
Seeing this, Ma Kangcheng's eyes flickered, and he cupped his hands and smiled:
"Master Lin is indeed very composed. We cultivators should be like him, but countless people have lost their lives because of his recklessness. However, I haven't found anything yet, so I'll have to follow him and see. See you later?"
Lin Xiuyuan nodded, his eyes narrowed slightly, and after watching Ma Kangcheng's departing figure, he had the idea of leaving as well.
With such a spiritual entity appearing, things will likely not be peaceful and harmonious anymore; a struggle is probably about to break out.
Having gained something and feeling content, why not leave now?
Once Lin Xiuyuan had made up his mind, he glanced around and was about to leave when his gaze seemed to catch something, and he paused in his tracks.
The main hall was simply furnished with some decorations, such as jade vases and ancient lamps, all ordinary objects devoid of any spiritual power. There were also some talismans, which appeared to be auxiliary talismans like those for purifying the mind or calming the spirit. They were quite ordinary, emitting a faint spiritual aura that didn't attract much attention and had been subconsciously ignored by them earlier.
At this moment, Lin Xiuyuan noticed something unusual. The talisman affixed not far from the portrait had a very weak spiritual energy, but it was different from the others.
He wouldn't say he's a master of talisman craftsmanship, but he's pretty close. He's crafted thousands, if not tens of thousands, of finished talismans.
Upon closer inspection, an unusual fluctuation was detected, which was not something that a talisman could produce.
Lin Xiuyuan became curious and remotely took it into his hand. After examining it carefully, he released his divine sense to cautiously probe inside.
Suddenly, Lin Xiuyuan felt words appear one after another...
