Swallowing the Yuan-boosting Fruit

Xiao Ming unceremoniously threw most of the gold notes into his ink void ring, then took out a few and examined them again.

First, these gold notes were bearer instruments, so anyone could use them.

Second, these gold notes were stamped with anti-counterfeit seals from many super large merchant associations, including the headquarters of Golden Jade Tower, which Xiao Ming had dealt with before.

This reminded Xiao Ming of something he had once heard.

It was said that the continent's super merchant associations had long since teamed up to create unified anti-counterfeit gold notes to facilitate the circulation of spirit stones and better conduct business.

However, these anti-counterfeit spirit stone gold notes were only provided to medium to large customers.

Xiao Ming had only heard of spirit stone gold notes but had never seen them.

He never expected to obtain so many today.

Excitedly stuffing the few gold notes in his hand into his ink void ring, Xiao Ming exerted a little force and jumped out of the hidden cellar.

"Young Master, how was your harvest?" Hu Yunxi asked.

"Very good!" Xiao Ming nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's go, let's see what the situation is like outside now."

Stepping out of Murong Ce's cultivation chamber and arriving outside, they saw dense blood everywhere and numerous corpses.

The air was also filled with a strong smell of blood.

However, the battle had already ended.

Without Murong Ce and a group of elite subordinates, the Murong Family's strength was negligible, no match for the Spirit Sword Sect.

The entire Murong Family, from top to bottom, was completely annihilated, with no survivors!

After destroying the Murong Family, Elder Li and his disciples did not stop; they searched here and there, eventually finding a pack of vicious dogs kept by the Murong Family.

These vicious dogs were extremely fierce, fed on human flesh, each one as fat as a pig and as ferocious as a tiger.

Several Elders and the disciples were enraged; after each giving a kick, they made the vicious dogs yelp.

Then, Elder Li and the others unceremoniously struck them down, killing all these vicious dogs.

After that, they began to unleash martial arts wildly in the courtyard.

In an instant, sword gleams, sword qi, and various colorful martial arts shot out, and it didn't take long for the luxurious and grand buildings to be forcefully reduced to a pile of rubble.

Because the power of the martial arts was quite strong, even the ground was churned up, revealing numerous bewildered earthworms.

Elder Li and the others were also merciless, using their weapons to chop up all the earthworms on the ground, then fiercely trampling them into the soil.

After doing all this, Elder Li was still not appeased.

He directly ordered his disciples to set a big fire.

A moment later, the fire spread, engulfing all of the Murong Family's buildings and corpses.

From today onwards, the Murong Family and the City Lord's Mansion will completely vanish!

Xiao Ming grinned at the sight.

This method of revenge was exactly the same as when he had destroyed the Lei Family Fortress before!

Indeed, birds of a feather flock together!

Suddenly, Xiao Ming thought of something and quickly asked, "Elder Li, since you've leveled and burned this place, what about the Murong Family's cultivation resources?"

Elder Li chuckled and said, "Vice Sect Leader, don't worry, before we did all this, we already moved out all the valuable items; they are all at the main entrance."

Only then did Xiao Ming feel relieved.

Immediately, he sensed something was amiss.

All valuable items?

It seemed Elder Li and the others had not only collected cultivation resources but also plundered other things.

Taking a deep look at Elder Li, Xiao Ming led Hu Yunxi towards the main entrance.

Indeed.

Even from a distance to the main entrance, Xiao Ming saw a small mountain made of countless cultivation resources, as well as gold, silver, and jewels.

Around the small mountain were many guarding disciples; upon seeing Xiao Ming arrive, they all quickly bowed.

"Vice Sect Leader, all of the Murong Family's wealth is here," a leading disciple pointed to the small mountain and said, "You can choose whatever you like; even taking it all is not a problem."

Xiao Ming nodded slightly and began to select.

Pills below Earth-rank and medicinal herbs under three thousand years old were directly ignored; Xiao Ming specifically chose items that were useful to him.

Before long.

The selection was complete, and the core essence of the Murong Family's accumulated cultivation resources was all taken by Xiao Ming.

Throwing all the items into his ink void ring, Xiao Ming pointed to the remaining items and said, "These remaining things are useless to me; you all move them back to the sect later."

"Yes!"

Pausing, Xiao Ming asked again, "I see you also collected quite a lot of gold, silver, and jewels. These things are useless to us martial artists, why bother?"

The leading disciple quickly explained, "Elder Li said that many disciples in the sect come from ordinary families. While these mundane items like gold, silver, and jewels are useless to us martial artists, they can be given to the disciples' ordinary families, allowing those family members to live good lives."

"I see, it seems Elder Li is thoughtful." Xiao Ming nodded, thinking that Elder Li had a long-term vision.

The subsequent matters no longer concerned Xiao Ming.

Elder Li and the others destroying the Murong Family was only the first step; they also needed to occupy Qingfeng City and forcefully announce the Spirit Sword Sect's rules.

They even had to notify various small forces within a thousand-mile radius, letting them know what had happened today.

These matters were complex and could not be completed in a short time.

Xiao Ming, however, paid no mind to these things, taking Hu Yunxi and soaring into the sky, returning to the Spirit Sword Sect.

Upon returning to the Spirit Sword Sect, Xiao Ming immediately went back to his residence and began to cultivate in seclusion.

He had gained an immense amount of wealth this time, in addition to a million spirit stones, there were bu yuan fruits, numerous three-thousand-year-old medicinal herbs, and a large pile of Earth-rank pills.

The quantity of three-thousand-year-old spirit herbs and Earth-rank pills was enormous, almost occupying more than half of his storage ring's space!

"Hoo!"

In the room, Xiao Ming exhaled deeply, and after his mind was stable, he opened his ink void ring and took out the bu yuan fruit.

The bu yuan fruit was golden all over, as if cast from gold, and it emitted faint golden spiritual light in circles.

It was quite mystical!

"Is this the four-thousand-year-old spirit herb, the bu yuan fruit?" Xiao Ming murmured to himself.

The thousand-year-old spirit herbs on the Xianwu Continent actually had levels.

Basically, every three thousand years was a major threshold!

For example, one thousand to three thousand years belonged to primary spirit herbs, four thousand to six thousand years were intermediate spirit herbs, and seven to nine thousand years were advanced spirit herbs.

And ten-thousand-year-old spirit herbs were called ten-thousand-year supreme grade!

As for whether there were further divisions above ten thousand years, Xiao Ming was temporarily unclear due to his strength and knowledge base.

His thoughts returned.

Xiao Ming looked at the bu yuan fruit before him, his eyes filled with fervent anticipation.

The bu yuan fruit was a four-thousand-year-old spirit herb; although it was only a thousand years older than a three-thousand-year-old one, the two were completely different.

Because the bu yuan fruit had undergone a fundamental change, belonging to an intermediate spirit herb!

With anticipation, Xiao Ming tilted his head back, opened his mouth, and tossed the bu yuan fruit inside.

Then he chewed it wildly with crunching sounds and swallowed it in one gulp!
