Chapter 286 Filial Piety and Shares (Requesting Double Monthly Tickets)
After sending away Drunk Moon Immortal, Xu Jin came to the residence of the Mountain Master, Dong Zhao.
When Xu Jin arrived, Han Qing, Liu Qingzhu, and Tang Hui were all present.
Each one was vigorous and full of spirit,
all thanks to Warm Dream's benefits.
Other participating teams from various Star Domains went straight to bed to sleep off their exhaustion after returning.
One by one, with deep dark circles under their eyes, they were clearly exhausted to the extreme.
During the seven days and seven nights of the Lougong Battle, most participating members would, at most, catch a brief nap of two hours.
Now back, they had to sleep for a full day and night.
But Han Qing, Tang Hui, Liu Qingzhu, and Dong Zhao, who were with Xu Jin, had also only slept for about a tael's worth of time, but with Warm Dream's help, they were completely rejuvenated.
This time, there was no need for extra sleep; they could proceed directly to discuss matters.
Previously, after seizing Fire Bull City within the Fifth Tier Spirit Martial Star Domain due to urgent time constraints, many items were not distributed. On the return journey, they encountered scattered Fifth and Sixth Tier Alien Races. After easily slaying them, there were spoils to be claimed.
Naturally, it was time to distribute the loot.
After the distribution, Dong Zhao would submit all other gains to the National Taoist Institute.
"I have a suggestion; for Shen Wei's share of the spoils, we only give half. Shen Wei is the strongest expert in the Shen Family at present. If Shen Wei dies and the family acquires such a large sum of wealth, it may not be a good thing.
Shen Wei has no descendants, but his brother has a son and a daughter, both with Cultivation potential, one not yet undergoing Star Casting, and the other at the Second Layer of Refining Star.
We can allocate a portion each year to sponsor their Cultivation.
Help their Cultivation Level quickly break through to the Fourth Tier.
In this way, the Shen Family would have a figurehead," Dong Zhao said.
Naturally, no one objected to this proposal.
Shen Wei's death in combat would already be compensated with a large sum by the National Taoist Institute. Coupled with the spoils they distributed, it would be an enormous fortune for an ordinary person.
With the protection of the National Taoist Institute, there was no fear of outsiders seizing their wealth, but within the family, there was likely to be strife.
Therefore, Dong Zhao suggested a partial trusteeship.
The proposal passed unanimously.
Allow Dong Zhao to manage the trust, with others overseeing.
Once Shen Wei's niece and nephew broke through to the Fourth Tier, the rest would be given to them.
Having decided on this matter, the distribution of spoils went very smoothly.
Xu Jin's effort was witnessed by everyone.
Without Xu Jin, without the many Sixth Tier Emblems in his hand, there would have been no chance of taking Fire Bull City.
Therefore, the greatest prize from within Fire Bull City—the two Initial Tier Fire Bull Horns—went to Xu Jin.
Xu Jin took the lion's share, leaving the rest for the others to choose.
Regardless, Xu Jin was satisfied and directly gave up the right to select from the other massive spoils: a lot of Fifth Tier Fire Bull Skins and Star Jades.
He ultimately obtained eight Sixth Tier Star Cores.
Among them, two were Upper Sixth Tier Fire Spirit Star Cores from the Fire Bull King.
As for other Sixth Tier Fire Bull Horns and the Golden Snake Alien Race's Sixth Tier Scale Armor, Dong Zhao had to submit them, and after the Artifact Refining Master crafted them into finished products arranged by the National Taoist Institute, allocations could be made.
As Dong Zhao finished distributing the spoils, Xu Jin did not leave but stayed behind alone.
"Hmm, do you have something else?" Dong Zhao looked at the lingering Xu Jin with some surprise.
Without saying much, Xu Jin slid the Star Jade which he had sealed with half-formed Divine Soul Power he had acquired from the Star Battle True God Statue in the Fire Cloud Star Domain earlier, in front of Dong Zhao.
"Mountain Master, this Star Jade, it contains a Divine Soul Power roughly equivalent to 60 Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills.
The Mountain Master can use it to enhance Divine Soul Power or to break through barriers, but it shouldn't be stored for too long," Xu Jin said.
Upon hearing this, Dong Zhao was astounded.
"The efficacy of 60 Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills?
That much?
Isn't that exceedingly valuable?"
"Mountain Master, I have yet to repay your kindness for sponsoring me and saving my younger sister Jiang'er.
I was fortunate to have obtained something this time, and I hope it can help the Mountain Master. Please accept it with a smile," Xu Jin said with a smile.
Dong Zhao pondered for a moment and did not refuse, accepting it on the spot.
"I'll accept this item that can quickly enhance combat power!
You and I are comrades in battle today and will be in the future.
When the opportunity arises, we shall help each other succeed.
If you need help, just call out to me; I, the Mountain Master, remain the same as before," Dong Zhao said.
"I understand."
Bowing his hands, Xu Jin departed and then headed straight for Liu Qingzhu's residence.
"Eh, Jin'er, what brings you here?" Liu Qingzhu was quite surprised.
"Master, can the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Pills I obtained previously enable you to break through smoothly?" Xu Jin asked.
"Wait another two or three years; once my Divine Soul Cultivation is ready, the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Pills should allow me to break through to the Sixth Tier smoothly," Liu Qingzhu said.
"This should help Master's Divine Soul Cultivation reach the mark in one step, or even break through immediately."
As he spoke, Xu Jin handed over another Star Jade sealed with half-formed Divine Soul Power and explained its use.
"Drug efficacy equivalent to 60 Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills!"
Liu Qingzhu was shocked, "That would enhance so much Divine Soul Cultivation! But you, my young fellow, keep it for yourself, I'm stuck here, two or three years don't make a difference. Moreover, you are in the most dangerous stage right now, needing to rapidly enhance your strength."
In the midst of speaking, Liu Qingzhu pushed the Star Jade back to Xu Jin.
Startled, Xu Jin then laughed and said, "Master, I have! I have more than I gave you. This gift is a token of my filial piety; please accept it.
Besides, the stronger the Master, the more confident I, your Disciple, feel, right?"
