Jiufeng Ridge.

When Zhou Chun opened Jiang Zhong's Storage Pouch, the sheer amount of items that spilled out completely exceeded his expectations!

He had originally thought the Storage Pouch would contain many materials commonly used by Demon Path Cultivators.

But in fact, it wasn't so. The items inside specifically for Demon Path Cultivators were very few; the majority were various items used by cultivators.

For instance, there were millennium-old Spiritual Medicines and several hundred-year-old Spiritual Medicines stored in jade boxes, various Magic Artifacts, Elixirs, Talismans, as well as some rare ore materials and piles of Spirit Coins.

At the beginning, Jiang Zhong had overnight slaughtered five Cultivator Families, including one from the Purple Mansion Clan.

In the time that followed, he participated in countless acts of annihilating families and slaying cultivators, whose possessions all became Jiang Zhong's spoils of war.

Additionally, some of the gains he obtained from slaying members of the Heavenly Spirit Legion on the Fengguo Battlefield made the contents of his Storage Pouch even more abundant and diverse.

And Jiang Zhong had lied!

He had not just three hundred thousand Spirit Coins on him but over four hundred thousand!

Zhou Chun also found more than one hundred thousand Spirit Coins in his Storage Pouch.

But that was not the most important part. The most important was that Zhou Chun actually found Nascent Soul Spirit Material in his Storage Pouch!

Yes, Nascent Soul Spirit Material!

He hadn't done as he claimed, leaving the Nascent Soul Spirit Material behind; he had carried it on his person!

This left Zhou Chun quite astonished.

He didn't know whether Jiang Zhong was overly confident in himself, didn't trust others, or thought that if he were to die, it wouldn't matter who got the Nascent Soul Spirit Material.

In any case, this was doubtlessly a tremendous stroke of luck for Zhou Chun himself!

As a leading figure of the younger generation in the Corpse Demon Sect, a significant sect, the Nascent Soul Spirit Materials Jiang Zhong prepared for himself were naturally not going to be lackluster.

The two types of Nascent Soul Spirit Material in his Storage Pouch were Extreme Yang Fire Spirit Liquid and Extreme Cold Ice Marrow Liquid, which were also the Spirit Materials most Golden Core Stage Cultivators would prepare before Core Formation.

Any cultivator who could gather these two types of materials before Core Formation and followed the "water and fire refine the Golden Core" method could increase their success rate by about ten percent.

In this way, if the cultivator's Cultivation Technique was a top-notch one, their Spirit Root Aptitude wasn't too poor, and they hadn't suffered major injuries that affected Core Formation, then their overall success rate could reach beyond twenty percent.

That was already very impressive.

After all, something like the Five Elements Spirit Fruit, which could directly increase the Core Formation success rate by thirty percent, was unique in the Cultivation World and not something the average Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator could even dream of obtaining.

Thus, the vast majority of cultivators would boldly decide to go into secluded cultivation and take their chances after gathering these two Spirit Materials!

However, Jiang Zhong was clearly not satisfied with just this. With his Cultivation Level, he could have gone into secluded cultivation to form his Core with these two Spirit Materials.

But he had chosen not to do so.

It was clear he did not want to bet on that twenty to thirty percent chance, but wished to acquire more materials that could increase his Core Formation success rate.

Little did he expect that all this would end up benefiting Zhou Chun for nothing!

At this time, after carefully checking the two types of Nascent Soul Spirit Material, Zhou Chun couldn't help but sigh with regret, "It's just a pity that these two Nascent Soul Spirit Materials overlap with the effects of the Five Elements Spirit Fruit, otherwise my Core Formation success would have been even more assured!"

The effects of the Five Elements Spirit Fruit could be compatible and stacked with many types of Nascent Soul Spirit Materials, but just not with Extreme Yang Fire Spirit Liquid or Extreme Cold Ice Marrow Liquid.

Therefore, for Zhou Chun, these two items were of no use to him.

It was an undeniable regret.

Yet, this didn't mean the value of the two items diminished.

After all, even if Zhou Chun couldn't use them, he could trade them for other Nascent Soul Spirit Materials, or at the very least, keep them for Zhou Mingde or Zhou Daoyi, allowing these two elders a chance to attempt reaching the Golden Core Stage.

Apart from the two extremely precious Nascent Soul Spirit Materials, Jiang Zhong's Storage Pouch also contained up to eight millennium-old Spiritual Medicines, two pieces of Dharma Treasure Spirit Materials, and fifty-nine Spiritual Medicines with an age of over five hundred years, as well as eight Third Order Magic Artifacts, and dozens of Second Order Magic Artifacts.

Adding up these items, including those four hundred thousand Spirit Coins, Zhou Chun conservatively estimated his gains to be worth seven to eight hundred thousand Spirit Coins.

Back then, Lin Hongyu spent just over eight hundred thousand Spirit Coins to purchase three types of Nascent Soul Spirit Materials!

This showed just how lucrative war spoils could be!

In addition, from the Storage Pouches of the three Blood Robe middle-aged men, Zhou Chun also collected tens of thousands of Spirit Coins, as well as five Third Order Magic Artifacts, six millennium-old Spiritual Medicines, and many more odds and ends.

Added together, these were also worth three to four hundred thousand Spirit Coins!

And this didn't even include the bounties for the several Demon Cultivators' heads!

"Thanks to Great-Aunt's timely arrival, I was fortunate enough to survive. These gains should rightly include half belonging to Great-Aunt, what do you think?"

After tallying up the gains, Zhou Chun did not presumptuously claim all the items for himself but quickly went to Lin Hongyu's place, reported the gains truthfully, and presented his suggestion.

He had seen much of the world as well; though over a million Spirit Coins was a tremendous gain, it was not worth risking a grudge from Lin Hongyu, a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, against him and the Zhou Family.
