"Master, the vast majority of the treasures in that treasury are mid-grade spirit stones. As for low-grade spirit stones, there isn't a single one. It seems that Gongshu Jia disdains to collect them. But I found this."
"Yan" presented the treasure box in his hand to Lu Qing.
"What's in there?"
Lu Qing took the treasure box, opened it and took a look. His breathing suddenly stopped.
He stared at the contents of the treasure box, stunned for a long time before he exhaled, "It's actually a top-grade spirit stone."
That’s right, the treasure box does not contain anything else, but a whole box of high-quality spirit stones.
"Yes, Master. There are a total of one thousand high-grade spirit stones in this treasure box."
One thousand high-quality spirit stones!
Hearing this number, Lu Qing's heart trembled slightly again.
Today, he is no longer the country boy who just came out of his hometown world. He has also understood many secrets of cultivation.
You know that the treasure called Lingshi actually contains many secrets.
Not only is it an excellent resource for cultivation for cultivators, but high-level spirit stones also seem to have some extraordinary uses for top-tier powerhouses.
However, the higher the grade of the spirit stone, the more precious it is.
Low-grade and medium-grade spirit stones are not that difficult to obtain.
But once a spirit stone reaches the top grade, it will basically not circulate outside.
No matter whether it is the major forces or the powerful independent cultivators, they will regard it as a strategic resource reserve and will not use it easily.
At the auction in Tianshu City that year, if the mysterious and powerful Yuanshen wanted to obtain a large number of high-grade spirit stones, he had to take out high-grade spirit weapons for auction.
In the end, the final price of the Immortal Golden Bell, a spiritual artifact, was only 15,000 high-grade spirit stones.
But now, he got a thousand high-quality spirit stones from Gongshu's treasure house!
This amount of spirit stones alone is a huge fortune.
"As expected of the Thirty-Six Supreme Clans, they have accumulated countless thousands of years of experience. Their profound heritage is truly terrifying."
Lu Qing couldn't help but sigh again.
It was just a treasure trove from the second branch of the direct lineage, but it allowed him to directly solve the problem of cultivation resources for a long time to come.
I really can’t imagine how terrifying the wealth of the entire Gongshu family is.
Next, Lu Qing counted the spirit stones in Qiankun's bag again.
After the final statistics, the spirit stones he obtained from the treasury of the second branch of the Gongshu family this time totaled about 500,000 medium-grade spirit stones and 1,000 high-grade spirit stones.
As for other elixirs, pills, magic weapons, various refining materials, etc., he didn't care too much about them. He just made a quick count and put them aside.
After all, he had a lot of these things after the battle at Tianshu Mountain, but for so long, he had difficulty even using them.
Any more of this batch would just be a accumulation.
"The gains are so great that losing my status as a peripheral member of the Nether Palace doesn't seem so regrettable in comparison."
This time, although Lu Qing successfully killed Gongshu Lian, Qiao Rong was also captured by him.
But he had no intention of going to the Nether Palace base to submit the mission certificate.
In Zhoutian City, when he finally escaped, he used the teleportation talisman.
Although he had been using sword skills before, he did not expose his physical strength.
But as he is in the Jindan realm and can use the ability of space shifting, anyone who is not too stupid will definitely associate him with "Chen Qing", not to mention the terrifying force like the Nether Palace that controls a huge intelligence network.
I'm afraid that by now, the Nether Palace has already determined his true identity based on various clues.
So to be on the safe side, Lu Qing does not plan to contact the Nether Palace again for the time being.
Although it was a pity that he could not collect the bounty for assassinating Gongshu Lian and Qiao Rong, he was no longer short of spirit stones, so he did not need to take risks for those 20,000 or 30,000 spirit stones.
Thinking of Qiao Rong, Lu Qing's heart moved again.
He waved his hand lightly, and a space cage suddenly appeared, revealing Qiao Rong's figure.
However, when Qiao Rong saw Lu Qing, a look of fear appeared on her face.
Not long ago, she was cast into an endless illusion by Lu Qing's magic, and she couldn't help but reveal everything she knew.
Now, in front of this mysterious man, she can be said to have no secrets at all.
But after the fear, Qiao Rong forced herself to calm down.
She forced a smile and said, "Senior, what exactly do you want in exchange for letting me go? If you trust me, I can take you away from Zhoutian City."
"No need, I've already left Zhoutian City." Lu Qing said lightly.
"Outside Zhoutian City, how is this possible!"
Qiao Rong's body trembled, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.
The first reaction was that Lu Qing was lying.
Because before she was caught, she knew that the entire Zhoutian Star System had been activated. Logically speaking, it should not have been possible for Lu Qing to leave.
However, Lu Qing did not explain any further, but just looked at her quietly.
Feeling Lu Qing's calmness, Qiao Rong paused.
A sense of fear suddenly arose in her heart.
She spoke with some difficulty: "So, I am no longer useful, Your Excellency, you want to kill me, right?"
"That's right." Lu Qing did not deny it and nodded calmly.
Hearing this, Qiao Rong's body trembled and her face suddenly turned pale.
She understood that if the mysterious man in front of her wanted to kill her, she would have no chance of success.
In other words, this time, she is definitely going to die.
However, after the fear, a strong sense of unwillingness arose in her heart.
She stared at Lu Qing intently. "I don't understand. With your level of cultivation, why would you want to pick on a woman like me who lives a secluded life? I think with my limited abilities, I should have never had any contact with you. Why do you insist on killing me?"
"You've already guessed it, haven't you? I'm a killer from the Nether Palace. I don't need a reason to kill."
"Then I'll give you ten times the bounty, no, a hundred times! No matter what the Nether Palace offers for the bounty, I'm willing to pay more than a hundred times that to buy my life!
I am in charge of the treasury of the second branch of the Gongshu family. There are countless treasures and spiritual stones in it. I am willing to give them all to you!"
Qiao Rong shouted loudly, as if she was crazy.
"Are you talking about these spirit stones?"
Lu Qing unlocked the space cage and pointed to the pile of spirit stones that looked like a small hill not far away.
Seeing the hill of spiritual stones, Qiao Rong's eyes suddenly widened.
Because she recognized those spirit stones, they were exactly the ones in her own treasure house.
In other words, this mysterious man not only successfully escaped from Zhoutian City, but also took away the treasure house of their second house?
Just when Qiao Rong was feeling unbelievable, Lu Qing's voice rang out again.
"Also, it's not like I have no connection with you. When I first came to the Tianyuan World, weren't you already offering a bounty on my head in the Netherworld Palace?"
"I'm offering a bounty on you in the Nether Palace?"
Qiao Rong repeated this sentence in a daze at first, and then slowly, as if she remembered something, she stared at Lu Qing intently, as if she wanted to see through the mask on his face.
"It's you, the evil demon who killed my Zheng'er back then?"
"Yes, it was me. I was the one who killed Gongshu Zheng."
Lu Qing took off the mask on his face, revealing the face he had used when he was in Canglan City in Xiaocang Realm.
"It's really you, evil demon! You killed my son, I want revenge for him!"
When Qiao Rong saw Lu Qing's face, which was exactly the same as the information she had collected that year, her eyes suddenly showed an extremely hateful look, as if she wanted to eat him alive.
There was a resolute aura about him, as if he wanted to rush towards him.
However, as soon as she moved, a wisp of sword energy landed on her forehead, piercing through her eyebrow acupoint and her head. (End of this chapter)
