266 Chapter 265-who doesn’t want wool?
After returning to the Feiyun state, the cultivators rested outside Yuyan mountain for almost a month.
They were distributing the spoils of war and various benefits.
In this expedition to the North barren forest, the spoils of war that they had taken and plundered amounted to more than two million spiritual stones.
Of course, this was the total value. In fact, the number of spirit stones that he had obtained from the demon race was not many. Although the demon race would also mine spirit stone veins, which were also beneficial to their cultivation, there were not many of them. The vast majority of the spoils of war were actually all sorts of materials, tools, and physical objects.
The Lu family lacked the experience to deal with this kind of situation. Decades ago, they were the ones who were conscripted to participate in the war and had to wait for others to distribute the spoils. Now, they had become the dominant force in the distribution of the spoils. They had risen too quickly and had not experienced such a situation before.
However, they had no experience. As an old sect, the Qingfeng sect was very experienced in such situations.
The entire distribution of spoils of war, after some research, was still decided on the path of merit points.
All the cultivators who participated in the war were awarded war merits according to their contributions in the war. All the spoils of war were placed in the warehouse and set a price for the cultivators to exchange for.
There were a few important points. First, the items exchanged by cultivators should be given from the spoils of war. Those that were not in the spoils of war would be taken out from the sect’s Treasury. However, the sect would not give out things for free. For example, if the sect’s Treasury gave out a foundation building pill to a cultivator in the North Army, no matter who it was, the Lu clan would have to return a foundation building pill to the sect or something of the same value.
Or, he could directly exchange for spirit stones. It was possible that even if the Lu clan did not have that many spirit stones in cash, the sect could still fork out the money. However, if the sect were to fork out the money, the Lu clan would still have to provide the sect with supplies.
Not to mention the others, hai Sande and the others would be in charge of the distribution of the spoils of war for the Northwest Army. The distribution of the spoils of war for the West Army would also go to hai Sande.
Just looking at the North troops.
The North troops had fought two battles, one in divine Deer Forest and one in Eagle Valley. Including some other miscellaneous profits, the total sum was about a million spirit stones.
The Lu family had spent about 300000 Yuan for the 1000 cultivators and the pension for the deceased.
Among them, the largest expenditure was given to Liu Yueting and Bo Xin, the two initial enlightenment cultivators from the sect.
The two of them had taken about 100000 merit points and exchanged them for various resources and spiritual stones.
To be able to gain such a number of benefits, they were quite happy. In the battle of the divine Deer Forest, they had not done much. Eagle Valley was having a harder time, but it was just hard work. He didn’t encounter any life-threatening situations.
Under such circumstances, wasn’t it a huge profit for each of them to get 50000 spiritual stones?
He had only been in the North barren forest for about a year, and he had already earned so much money.
In particular, happiness was something that could only be achieved by comparison.
Compared to the junior brothers and sisters in the initial enlightenment stage in the Northwest Army led by hai Sande, although everyone was almost at ease, and even the two of them were a little more tired, the things they earned were double that of them. Compared to their senior and junior brothers in the West Army, the two of them had earned more, although not by much. However, of the initial enlightenment cultivators of the West Army, four of them had returned. More than half of them had died, and those who had returned were all injured.
While they felt sorrow and sorrow in their hearts, they also had some thoughts of praising their good luck.
Luckily, he had followed Yan Ling into the North Army. Although the two of them felt that they had made a mistake when they found out that Lu Qing would not personally lead the team, they felt that they were really lucky after the battle.
The rest were distributed to the Qi refining and foundation building cultivators who were participating in the battle.
The Lu family had already paid the compensation for the 300 to 400 people who had died in battle. For cultivators in the early stage of Qi refining, 80 spirit stones were given, 150 for the middle stage, and 200 for the late stage. For the foundation establishment stage, it would be 10000 spirit stones or a promise of a Foundation establishment pill.
This was already very good.
Living people were more or less the same standard.
Just the contribution points for Foundation establishment and Qi condensation cultivators would cost about 120000 to 130000.
The Lu clan had also prepared a reward of tens of thousands of merit points for the foundation establishment clans that were directly affiliated to the Lu clan, such as mu Yangcheng of Sishui River, han clan of Luyi, Zhang clan of Changhong, Huang clan of Pingan, and Xuanji clan of anling city.
The cultivators of these families had all returned in high spirits when they were dismissed.
In the past few years, it was not as if they had not received recruitment orders from the sect to participate in some Wars, such as fighting the White ghouls in the North or giving them some missions when they encountered some foreign enemies.
But when was there an additional reward?
For Foundation establishment clans like them, an additional reward of a few thousand or even close to ten thousand spirit stones was truly a windfall. In addition to the cultivation merit points that had already been distributed, each of them had earned at least 10000.
This was especially so for mu Yangcheng. He had put in a lot of effort to gather a team of elite cultivators to participate in the battle. He had also recruited rogue cultivators from the Lu clan to be cannon fodder. When he was in the C-grade Regiment, mu Yangcheng had used his reputation among the Rogue cultivators to travel around anling Prefecture. He had played a great role. The Lu family did not treat him badly this time. After this battle, he had earned at least 20000 to 30000 spirit stones. Of course, it was not all his, but the entire force he represented. However, the Lu family would not care about how much was distributed and how much he took. He would do as he saw fit.
It was said that mu Yangcheng had earned enough spiritual stones this time. In addition to his own savings, he had enough capital to try to break through to the initial enlightenment stage and ask the Lu family for help.
The Lu family was still happy to see this happen.
Ever since the rise of the Lu family, mu Yangcheng had always been on their side in various matters. It was also very beneficial for the Lu clan that he had reached the initial enlightenment stage.
As for whether he would gradually break away from his control after he attained initial enlightenment, there was no need to worry too much about that. If it was in the past, it would indeed be more troublesome. After all, when people became stronger, they would naturally have other thoughts. Given the Lu clan’s past situation, it was not an easy task to completely control an initial enlightenment cultivator and make him their subordinate.
However, things were different now.
Especially after the battle in the North barren forest, the Lu family’s reputation had reached its peak. All the forces in the Feiyun state, big and small, had recognized the Lu family’s strength.
Thinking about it, under such circumstances, even if mu Yangcheng really achieved Qiming, he would probably be well-behaved.
Mu Yangcheng’s base was in the Sishui River, where the Lu family’s influence was the greatest. To put it bluntly, he was able to enter Qi Ming this time because of the Lu family’s support. He still had to rely on the Lu family’s connections to buy the heavenly materials and earthly treasures that he could use from the outside world through the trade routes in the South or North.
Of course, he was paying for it.
In addition to the Lu clan’s direct descendants and affiliated families, the other participating small families, sect cultivators, and even rogue cultivators who performed well in the war also received some additional rewards.
This was to win the hearts of the people.
After deducting the expenses, the Lu clan still had nearly 700000 spirit stones in profit.
Of course, this also required some expenditure. After all, the cultivators from the Lu family were the main force of the northern troops. When the Lu clan had attacked Eagle Valley, they had been the vanguard in every battle and had overcome many difficulties. The two initial enlightenment cultivators in the sect had each received a profit of 40000 to 50000 spirit stones. The Lu clan’s three initial enlightenment cultivators should at least have this figure, right? Otherwise, what was the point of being so generous to outsiders and so stingy to his own family?
Most importantly, Li Yanling was the leader of this battle and a golden core cultivator. Whether it was attacking the divine Deer Forest or the Eagle Valley, her existence was the most important person in the northern troops and the Lu clan to be able to achieve so many results-with the exception of Lu Qing.
It was true that the clan would keep the 700000 resources, including four level three demonic cores, in the clan’s Treasury. However, Li Yanling was given 230000 clan contribution points. Lu chaoxi, Lu mingchao, and Lu Chaohe received a total of about 200000 clan contribution points. Chaoxi and mingchao received more, while Chaohe received less. However, each of them received at least 50000 clan contribution points.
In fact, the clan contribution points that they received were only in name. If they needed something, as long as the clan had it, they would definitely provide it. If the clan really didn’t have it, then even if the contribution points were sky high, there was nothing they could do.
However, this was a particularly good opportunity.
Even though the Lu clan’s vault was not rich, the sect was rich!
This was a rare opportunity. If Li Yanling, Lu chaoxi, Lu mingchao, and Lu Chaohe had anything that they wanted, they could go to the sect’s storage to exchange for it. They could take whatever they wanted. No matter how much they took, the Lu clan could just take out something of equal value from the spoils of war and fill the gap in the sect’s treasure vault.
...
There was a lot of room for manipulation.
For example, the four of them could directly exchange for some high-level and high-quality items from the sect’s treasure vault. Each of these items was worth a lot of money, and the Lu clan still had to pay the price.
However, this so-called ‘supplement’ could be supplemented with a large number of low-level materials.
Lu chaoxi, for example, had obtained the contents of the last volume of the Mingyang lightning Codex, which could be used to break through to the Golden core realm. The contents of this scroll cost more than 10000 spiritual stones, and the Lu family could use a pile of materials extracted from level one demonic beasts to make up for it.
Another example was that Lu chaoxi had picked two level three high-grade lightning-attribute magic swords and placed them together with the black Lightning that he already had. He was prepared to use them to cultivate some of the follow-up moves of the godly sword lightning-controlling true spell. These two magic swords were worth 8000 spirit stones in total, and the Lu clan had also exchanged for them with piles of first-tier demonic beast materials and various low-grade herbs.
On the surface, they were of the same value, but the Lu family would definitely profit greatly.
After all, there were many high-level items that couldn’t be bought with money.
On the other hand, although the accumulated value of a large number of low-level materials was not low, the difficulty of obtaining them was much lower.
One had to say that in a sense, this was the wool for establishing the sect. If Kong Tong was still around, he definitely wouldn’t be able to do this. The people of the sect weren’t fools, and they wouldn’t let such a loophole be exploited. In fact, in the past, the Qingfeng sect had played with similar Wars and merit points exchange systems. It was impossible for them to accumulate small merit points to exchange for large items. The sect would never give them to others, and there was a limit to the items that could be exchanged.
However, didn’t this mean that Kong Tong couldn’t preside over the matter?
Forget about managing things, he still hadn’t woken up.
...
It was said that after the cultivators of the Qingfeng sect returned, they intended to push ancestor hai to the position of sect leader. Even as the current leader of the sect leader’s line, Zhenren yunxuan was still in charge of this matter. However, hai Sande had always declined with a very firm attitude.
After that, they even tried to get Li Yanling to be the acting sect leader, but Li Yanling rejected them.
Whoever accepted this matter would be an idiot.
The Lu clan was not the only one scamming wool. The hai clan was doing the same thing.
After accepting the acting sect leader’s job, it was a little inappropriate to do it openly like this. After all, in his position, he had to make plans. Although if he really became shameless and became the acting sect leader, it would be easier to open the back door, but if he went too far, it was still easy to be criticized by others.
It was good like this.
Yun Xuan himself did not want to take on the position of acting sect leader, but what could he do?
When he was in charge of the sect’s Affairs, he was pushed to the ground by the Lu clan and the hai clan.
......
Of course, even so, the four cultivators above the Foundation Stage still couldn’t spend all their contribution points to exchange for the things they needed.
It wasn’t that the sect didn’t have many good things. After all, the Qingfeng sect was a thousand-year-old sect with a very strong foundation. However, even if the Lu family used some low-level things to supplement it, there would always be an end to it.
After all, the majority of the Lu family’s profits came from the level-three demonic cores. He couldn’t bear to use this thing to repair it.
The four from the Lu clan didn’t have any objections. So what if there wasn’t one? what was the big deal?
However, Lu Qing felt that the clan should not treat people unfairly.
Moreover, his three children were still fine. After all, their equipment was excellent and their cultivation techniques were good. It was very rare to find something that could bring them great improvements.
However, Lu Qing felt that he could not just let Li Yanling be.
What if Yan Ling felt that the family was exploiting her? how bad would that be?
This was not impossible.
Not to mention Li Yanling who had married into the Lu family, even the members of the Lu family who had grown up in the Lu family would be unhappy if they were a little narrow-minded.
However, Lu Qing had already thought of a solution to this matter.
It was about to land on the magical power exchange tab, the [ celestial cloud top posture ].
At the same time, he could also deal with Lu Weiwen’s [ heavenly true body ].
