"Senior is a man of integrity, wise and righteous."
Lu Changan looked soothed and complimented.
It’s not that he bites the spoils.
In order to kill Gao Cheng, he had to pay a lot of price, so he couldn't completely ignore it.
At least you have to sell it miserably and try to get some compensation.
Monks of any class will act based on their appearance.
If you are afraid of the real person and keep silent, the other person will think you are a soft persimmon. It may be said in one sentence and swallowed up directly, or a small amount of symbolic compensation may be given.
In full view of the public, the fake elixir and the real person also want to lose face.
There is a huge difference between fighting for something and saying nothing.
Master Hongsong did not open the storage bag immediately, and asked seriously:
"Besides this thief, are there any other villains left?"
"Three more people died in Wu Qi Mountain, and two of them were poisoned by Medicine Master Ye from Xiaodan Peak. According to Fellow Daoist Ye's speculation, there may be another key figure who was seriously injured..."
Lu Changan answered truthfully and assisted Lihuo Palace in catching the remnants, thus solving his own troubles.
He took the initiative to point out the direction in which Gao Cheng fled first, suspecting that the injured person was in that direction.
When Gao Cheng escaped, he found that he had been bitten by Lu Changan and had changed direction midway.
"Well, you did a good job."
Master Hongsong nodded, turned to look at the foundation-building elite monks from Lihuo Palace behind him, and sent a message to tell them the clues and let them take action.
Whoosh whoosh!
Those monks in the middle and late stages of foundation building flew through the air.
Only Master Hongsong and Lu Changan were left.
…
Only then did Master Hongsong check the storage bag and break the restriction.
His eyebrows were raised slightly, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his expression became much kinder.
"Little friend Lu, the spoils will be divided 50-50, what do you think?"
"Junior has no objection."
Lu Changan was startled for a moment, a bit unexpected.
Although he contributed the most in this battle, he was seriously injured and defeated the leader of the thieves.
However, the leader of the thief was eventually killed by the fake Dan real person, and the hierarchical status of the two parties was not equal.
If you can get half of the loot, the other party is considered to be of good character.
"However, Pindao would like to explain: quite a few of the items in these storage bags were robbed from Pindao's fellow sect members and are considered stolen goods."
Master Hongsong changed the subject and explained.
"Pindao will take these items back to Lihuo Palace and give them to his descendants, or let the sect dispose of them."
"Our 50-50 split, we have to eliminate this part."
Hearing this, Lu Changan was speechless to refute.
Just now I thought I had met a very conscientious and noble person.
Isn’t it up to Master Hongsong to decide which of this rich loot is stolen goods and which items belong to the members of the Lihuo Palace?
It can be expected that Hongsong Zhenren will indeed bring back some items belonging to the victim's classmates, so that he can give an explanation and win a good reputation.
Lu Changan assisted in killing the bandit leader and made great contributions. Master Hongsong openly shared "half of the loot".
As a fake Dan real person, this is quite interesting.
When outsiders learn about it, they will praise it as fair and noble.
After a while, Master Hongsong gathered the normally distributable loot into a storage bag.
"You and I will each take half of these trophies. Little friend Lu can pick one first."
Master Hongsong opened the storage bag and said cheerfully.
"Thank you for your love, senior."
Lu Changan nodded and looked at the trophies in the storage bag.
It is roughly estimated that the value of all the items in the bag is slightly higher than that of ordinary foundation building in the later stage.
Lu Changan ignored spiritual stones, magic weapons, elixirs and other items.
Finally, his eyes fell on a broken black gold scimitar.
Even if this black gold scimitar is intact, it looks simple, like a piece of art that has been roughly sketched but has not yet been carefully crafted.
"The prototype of the magic weapon."
Lu Changan felt relieved.
"Senior, can I choose this thing?"
He pointed at the broken prototype of the magic weapon.
"You have not reached the advanced stage of foundation building, so the prototype of the magic weapon will not be of much use to you now. If you choose this item, you will not be able to take much of the other items in the storage bag."
Master Hongsong was slightly surprised and asked in confirmation.
The fake elixir master can already control low-grade magic weapons.
But a damaged prototype of a magic weapon is not very attractive to the fake elixir master from the Lihuo Palace.
Hongsong Zhenren did not reveal some details: the prototype of this magic weapon was greatly damaged, and repairs would require a price. Moreover, the loss of spirituality is not small. Even if it is a real person, it will take a lot of effort to cultivate it.
If you have the time, it would be better to create a new prototype of a magic weapon, or buy a magic weapon.
It is precisely because this item is useless that he puts it in the distributable loot.
Unexpectedly, Lu Changan took the initiative to dig the hole.
"This junior has no shortage of top-quality magic weapons. Even if this thing is not used in the future, I have two late-stage foundation-building friends in Jinyun Valley who will always use it one day."
Lu Changan did not change his mind.
"good."
Master Hongsong said nothing more and handed the damaged prototype of the magic weapon to Lu Changan.
Lu Changan had very little of the remaining loot in the storage bag.
The overall gain is acceptable to Lu Changan.
He has no shortage of spiritual stones and top-quality magic weapons on hand, and has very little need for ordinary elixirs.
Only high-end or scarce resources are more attractive to him.
In addition, the mysterious ultra-thin mask Lu Changan obtained previously has a complicated origin, and its value may exceed that of a prototype or ordinary magic weapon.
Just being able to deceive spiritual consciousness is no small matter.
Not to mention the mysterious mask that disguises one's appearance and conceals one's cultivation.
Whoosh!
There was a sound of breaking through the air, and a foundation-building monk from the Fire Palace turned back.
"Uncle Hongsong, we found the remnants of the robbery cultivator gang in a cave ten miles away. It was a seriously injured female cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. She had committed suicide after we arrived."
"Well done."
Master Hongsong smiled and glanced at Lu Changan:
"The clues provided by Little Friend Lu have worked. Do you want to go over and take a look?"
"good."
Lu Changan followed the fake elixir master and the foundation-building monk from Lihuo Palace and flew to the cave ten miles away.
In the dim cave scene, a beautiful female corpse was lying on an animal skin blanket.
Lu Changan discovered that this female cultivator looked a bit like Zhuang Wenjing, who he had killed before, but she was older.
"Uncle Hongsong, the mastermind and core figures of this case have all been identified."
An elegant man in a blue shirt reported.
"This group of robbers and cultivators will plan and commit a crime every ten years. The real name of the mastermind is unknown. He once went by the alias 'Kong Mao' in Fangshi within the Liuyun Sect. He is good at disguising himself and sneaking into the target force."
"Judging from the relics and notes of the female corpse, she was the Taoist companion of the mastermind. There was also a daughter who was nominally the master's disciple. In fact, the mother and daughter served the same husband."
"The current crime is to prepare a woman for the later stage of her plot. Her female disciple has outstanding qualifications and even wants to plot a fake elixir..."
After Lu Changan heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
The thief whose alias was Gao Cheng or Kong Mao really worked hard for the two women.
Of course, the mother and daughter were also considered the core of the gang and the main perpetrators of the crime.
He had sensed that this person had twenty or thirty years left to live and had no chance of forming the path to alchemy.
…
Half an hour later, Lu Changan led several Lihuo Palace monks to Wuqi Mountain to put the final touches on the case.
The red pine master left in the middle and was not involved in such minutiae.
"What is the name of this superior?"
On the way, Lu Changan took the initiative to get to know the man in green shirt who was reasoning about the case.
This person has an elegant temperament and a bookish air.
"I'm a 'Song Wenshu', but I can't afford the word "Shangxiu".
The man in green shirt smiled.
"I have heard of Fellow Daoist Lu's inspirational reputation, and I admire him very much."
Song Wenshu was relatively young and was in the middle stage of foundation building.
The monks who were present at the later stage of Lihuo Palace's foundation building were very polite to this person and treated him as a follower.
Lu Changan speculated that this person should have some background in Lihuo Palace. When they met for the first time, he didn't ask any questions.
same day.
Lu Changan hosted Song Wenshu and other monks from the Lihuo Palace in Wuqi Mountain to help them deal with the aftermath and bring the case to a complete conclusion.
Ye Fei was still injured and was questioned and investigated.
When Lu Changan narrated his answer, he didn't hide anything in general, but only slightly exaggerated Jie Xiu's injuries.
After learning the entire incident, Song Wenshu glanced at Lu Changan and Ye Feigao.
It is true that the Jie Xiu they dealt with had injuries on his body after the battle in Fox Valley, was not in peak condition, and was suspected of being picked up.
But for casual cultivators, luck, strength, and intelligence are all indispensable to achieve this.
Half a day later, the monks from Lihuo Palace left.
During this period, some of the trophies captured by Ye Fei from the two foundation-building monks in gray were recovered by the Lihuo Palace disciples.
Lu Changan had a "fair transaction" with False Dan and did not enjoy this treatment.
…
In the evening, Lu Changan opened Zhuang Wenjing's storage bag and found that his worth of materials was similar to that in the later stage of foundation building.
No particular takeaways, other than some sexy women's clothing that's a bit noticeable.
Lu Changan recalled the gains and losses of this battle against Jie Xiu.
The leader of the thief was killed by the fake Dan real person, and he was given a lot of loot, which was certainly not good.
But as a result, the existence of the fake Dan real person has obscured his sense of existence.
Through this incident, I got to know a fake Dan real person and Song Wenshu, who had a good background.
In this battle, he exposed part of his strength, which was beyond the ordinary mid-stage foundation building stage.
Mainly second-level puppets, which are a reflection of financial strength.
At present, he is apparently a first-level high-level puppet master, controlling second-level puppets, and can exert more power than ordinary monks, which is in line with common sense.
"Appropriately displaying a certain amount of deterrence can reduce a lot of trouble."
Lu Changan was mentally prepared for this.
In the later stage of foundation building, the leader of the thieves attacked and killed him. If he wanted to protect himself, he had to come up with something.
Ye Fei took advantage of the favorable location and poisoned two foundation-building monks, including one in the middle stage of foundation-building. For outsiders, this is even more terrifying.
Poison spells are something that, if not guarded against, are naturally easy for people to be wary of.
It can be expected that Wu Qishan has a master of poisoning, and Lu Changan, who has considerable financial resources, is in charge, which has a certain deterrent effect on the outside world.
This kind of external shock can improve the public security environment of Wuqi Mountain and is conducive to harmony and wealth.
…
In the secret room, Lu Changan recovered his thoughts and took out the two biggest gains of this trip.
The prototype of the magic weapon and the mysterious mask.
The prototype of the magic weapon is half a level higher than the best magic weapon, and the conditions for use are lower than the magic weapon.
It can be controlled in the later stage of foundation building with strong mana, but it consumes a lot of money and cannot be used for a while.
Unless it was Tuoba Jin’s background back then.
Otherwise, the prototype of the magic weapon can only be used as a trump card and cannot be used regularly like the best magic weapon.
"It's a pity that it's not wood attribute."
Lu Changan touched the broken black gold scimitar.
The prototype of a magic weapon is considered the embryo of a magic weapon. It is not as strong as the real magic weapon and is easily damaged in fierce battles.
The most direct way to repair this damaged prototype of a magic weapon is to find a weapon refiner.
You can also add magic weapon materials bit by bit yourself, temper them with foundation-building spiritual fire, and repair them over a long period of time.
Lu Changan is ready to slowly cultivate the lost spirituality. This is what Evergreen Gong is good at.
"In the later stages of foundation building, this treasure should be able to exert considerable power."
Put away the prototype of the magic weapon.
Lu Changan took out the mysterious mask again.
After preliminary inspection, this strange object is not simple.
His consciousness merged into it again, as if entering a void.
As the intensity of his spiritual consciousness increased, a trace of ancient and strange aura was conveyed.
Divine consciousness goes deeper.
Some vague information and picture fragments poured into Lu Changan's consciousness.
Surprise appeared on his brows.
He couldn't help but take out the mysterious mask and put it on his face.
