Chapter 973: Shopping

Grandma Qiansi and Lu Tianshu, True Monarch, put away their own portions of pure jade inspiration.

After giving a few instructions, Grandma Qiansi dismissed Meng Zhang and his group.

Meng Zhang and his team didn't linger outside and went directly back to the courtyard of Taiyi Sect, where they distributed the spoils of this mission.

All five of them had contributed roughly equally to this mission, so the spoils were divided evenly among them.

Firstly, they collected pure jade inspiration, with an average of one hundred and fifty strands per person.

For Meng Zhang, this was the first time he had gained so much pure jade inspiration using his own abilities after entering the Heavenly Palace.

The pure jade inspiration inherited from Taiyi Sect's predecessors belonged to the whole sect, and Meng Zhang couldn't use it freely.

However, the pure jade inspiration they obtained this time belonged solely to him.

Of course, although Meng Zhang was quite strict with himself and kept his personal belongings separate from the sect's property, there were still occasions when temporary borrowing of sect resources or using personal items to support the sect was unavoidable.

For the others, this batch of pure jade inspiration was an unprecedented massive gain.

In addition to the collected pure jade inspiration, the three Primordial Spirit cultivators and four Monster Kings also provided quite a few spoils for everyone.

Unfortunately, Zhang Nengfeng, a disciple of the Guarding Sea Temple, had long refined a mustard seed space, where he stored almost everything he had.

With his death, the mustard seed space spontaneously shattered, and all items inside were destroyed in the collapse of space.

At that time, even Lu Tianshu, a Primordial Spirit cultivator at the late stage, couldn't prevent the collapse of the mustard seed space and salvage the various items inside.

They gained nothing from wealthiest disciple of the Guarding Sea Temple but others had substantial gains.

In the storage magic tools carried by the two Primordial Spirit stage followers, there were some pure jade inspiration, Fourth Rank talismans, and elixirs.

As for the Fourth Rank magic tools used by the three Human Clan Divine Envoys, most were completely destroyed during the battles.

Cultivators from the Holy Land Sect were not wasteful; even in death, they wouldn't leave magic tools for enemies.

The actions of the two cultivators from subordinate forces were similar; they would rather die than let the enemy benefit.

The gains brought by the four Monster Kings were much greater than imagined.

The powerful Yaozu beings from the Myriad Monster World weren't the kind of wild monsters without heritage or lineage.In the Myriad Monster World, where the Yaozu held a dominant position, just like human cultivators in the Grand Dust World, the Yaozu had established a comprehensive system of cultivation and inheritance, developing a unique civilization specific to their kind.

Among these powerful Yaozu beings, there were also those who were skilled in crafting, alchemy, and other practices.

Although the magic tools and elixirs of the Yaozu couldn't be directly used by human cultivators, they were excellent materials after proper treatment.

The currency used among the Yaozu was the condensed Yao stone, imbued with high concentrations of Yao energy.

Human cultivators couldn't absorb and refine the Yao energy within Yao stones, but after dilution through secret methods, they could be used for nurturing Yao beasts.

In the Grand Dust World, breeding Yao beasts had long become a massive and profitable industry.

Highly refined Yao stones acquired from Monster Kings, like those they seized, were not difficult to sell at a good price.

Additionally, the corpses of the four Monster Kings were also crucial spoils.

In the Cultivation World, after thousands of years of development, the utilization of Yao beast corpses had reached its limits, leaving no room for oversight.

Especially in the case of Monster King corpses, whether it was fur, flesh, or even bones, they held enormous value.

Meng Zhang and his team were not the kind of individuals who nitpicked. They quickly negotiated the distribution of spoils and everyone accepted the arrangement quite satisfactorily.

After dealing with this matter, Meng Zhang advised everyone to keep a low profile for a while and preferably leave the Heavenly Palace to avoid attracting unnecessary attention.

Although they hadn't exposed their identities to the Guarding Sea Temple cultivators, it would be troublesome if they happened to run into them within the Heavenly Palace due to bad luck.

Everyone accepted Meng Zhang's advice.

However, before leaving the Heavenly Palace, everyone planned to do some shopping.

Having obtained a substantial amount of pure jade inspiration, they could now afford many items they had desired but hesitated to purchase in their everyday lives.

Even Meng Zhang himself had several things he wanted to buy.

Previously, despite having a considerable amount of pure jade inspiration, it belonged to the entire sect, so Meng Zhang refrained from spending it extravagantly.

Now that he had a substantial personal gain of pure jade inspiration, it was only natural to indulge in some shopping.

Before embarking on their shopping spree, he specifically visited the administrative hall of the Heavenly Palace.

A long time ago, he had wanted to acquire a method from the Heavenly Palace that could help the four Guardian Spirit Generals in his sect break through their Cultivation Base bottlenecks.

Unique dao soldiers like the Guardian Spirit Generals were not exclusive to Taiyi Sect. Similar dao soldiers existed in other cultivation sects in the Grand Dust World as well.

These dao soldiers had remarkable advantages and could easily develop significant combat prowess.The drawbacks are equally prominent, and continuing to improve is extremely difficult.

Even after repeatedly searching the comprehensive exchange list provided by the Heavenly Palace, Meng Zhang couldn't find any method to help these types of dao soldiers break through their Cultivation Base bottlenecks.

Of course, there might be similar methods, but Meng Zhang's permissions were insufficient.

According to the Heavenly Palace's conventions, different permissions corresponded to different contents on the exchange list.

Having found nothing from the official Heavenly Palace offerings, Meng Zhang also inquired in the market, but there were no similar methods available for sale there either.

Because he had a large amount of pure jade inspiration on hand, Meng Zhang became much more generous with his contribution points.

He exchanged four mechanical puppets from the official Heavenly Palace offerings.

Two of the puppets would be sent back to the sect for the Sect's Divine Craftsman Hall cultivators to study.

The remaining two would be used to manage the small courtyard.

In the future, when his own shop opened, he could also have them manage the shop.

The intelligence of the mechanical puppets exchanged from the official Heavenly Palace was very high, capable of performing various tasks.

The reliability of these puppets was endorsed by the official Heavenly Palace, so there were absolutely no issues.

Even the mechanical puppets in Grandma Qiansi's residence were exchanged from the official Heavenly Palace.

However, the mechanical puppets exchanged by the official Heavenly Palace were inferior in various aspects compared to those used by themself.

Leaving the administrative hall, Meng Zhang arrived at the market and made a sizable purchase.

Pure jade inspiration was the true hard currency, and the Heavenly Palace's market was exceptionally rich in goods.

Here, it was difficult for there to be anything money couldn't buy.

As long as you could afford pure jade inspiration, even the most exotic and precious items could be purchased.

Only unless the items were extremely cherished or of exceptionally high quality would there be a situation where they had value but were not available.

Meng Zhang circled the market and only then realized that the amount of pure jade inspiration he had on hand was simply insignificant.

Many precious high-level items were priced in terms of a thousand or even ten thousand strands of pure jade inspiration.

Of course, the purchasing power of pure jade inspiration was actually not bad; it was quite useful when buying ordinary spiritual items.
