Chapter 134: Time To Split The Loot! Are We Rich?

Du Bai rubbed his hands together and said with a giggling smile, "Big brother, how much is it in total? Let’s divide it up. Ha ha, I can\'t wait any longer."

Wu Bingji chuckled. "Now that everyone\'s here, let me tally it up for you.

"This time around, we bagged twenty demonic beasts, including two Winged Tigers. One was a peak seventh-order Winged Tiger and the other was a younger sixth-order. The rest were fifth-order or lower. The big-ticket item is the seventh-order beast\'s inner core, but their scales, skins, sinews, bones, and unique bits are also pretty valuable. I won\'t break down the prices for each part right now.

"The academy snagged the meat and bones of the demonic beasts since they bought them straight up, definitely at a discount. They got them for seventy percent of what they\'d normally go for. That\'s acceptable, though. If we tried to sell them ourselves, we wouldn\'t have gotten full price because it was just too much all at once. It was easier to let the academy handle it, so I said yes for us.

"We held onto all the blood from the demonic beasts, and the academy will use it to beef us up. Using demonic beast blood is a fancy way to train and normally we really couldn\'t afford that luxury, but luckily, we scored plenty of it this time. It\'ll take a while to get everything ready, but it\'s all going to benefit us in the end.

"The remaining parts were sold for money, totaling twenty-eight naturae coins. It was originally just over twenty-seven, but the mayor approved an increase to twenty-eight. As we agreed before we left, we\'ll split it evenly. First, everyone takes five naturae coins."

As he spoke, he pulled out a bag and gently shook it in front of him. Instantly, naturae coins tumbled out one by one. All twenty-eight coins appeared, causing the elemental fluctuations within the entire room to intensify.

This was truly a lot of money! They had never seen so much before. These were not demonshard coins or aetherhorn coins, but naturae coins! The purchasing power of naturae coins was impressive on its own, but they were also highly beneficial for cultivation, making them treasures in their own right.

“These naturae coins have different attributes, they\'re not the same. Pick yours now. I\'ll take the ice-attribute ones, of course. The rest is up for your pick, go ahead."

All four of them joyfully took five coins each.

The attributes were not that important to them. Using naturae coins for cultivation was a luxury that most people could not afford.

After they had divided the coins, three naturae coins remained on the table.

Wu Bingji said, "Tang San, take them."

"Hmm?" Tang San blinked, puzzled, and looked at the elder brother, "Elder brother, did you buy something for everyone to share?"

Wu Bingji shook his head, saying, "No way, you totally earned this. I\'m sure the others would agree. You\'ve been leading us the whole time. If it weren\'t for your calls when we faced those demonic beasts, we wouldn\'t have gotten even close to what we did. Don\'t rush to say no. Plus, you taught me the Flicking Dart and showed Gu Li and Cheng Zicheng the Disorder Wind Splitting Hammer. Don\'t think that we forgot about that favor. So don\'t be shy about it; we wouldn\'t even have been on this training if it wasn\'t for your idea. Just accept it."

"Yeah, I\'ve also learned from Little Tang," Du Bai quickly added. However, Tang San nudged him, stopping him just before he mentioned the Purple Demon Eyes.

Tang San responded, "Then I won\'t stand on ceremony with everyone. If you all agree, I\'ll take it."

Inwardly, he sighed.

I sure did teach you, but you don\'t have the slightest idea what I\'ve gained from you myself. Such naive children! Indeed, you are all part of my nurturing plan. Well, except for the eldest brother.

Eight naturae coins were a huge sum for Tang San. Together with what he had previously acquired from Feng Xiong, he now felt extraordinarily wealthy.

One naturae coin was equivalent to a hundred aetherhorn coins, or ten thousand demonshard coins. If he converted everything into demonshard coins, his total assets now exceeded one hundred thousand, so it wasn’t an exaggeration to say he was immensely wealthy.

Everyone put away their naturae coins. Although Tang San had received the most, everyone else had five coins each, the greatest amount of money they had ever seen. Naturally, all five of them were beaming with happiness.

"When are we going again, Little Tang?"

With this one sentence, Du Bai drew everyone\'s attention to Tang San. Indeed, when and where were they going next?

The gains from this training were enormous. Not to mention the five naturae coins per person, but most importantly, both Du Bai and Gu Li had advanced a level—a major challenge. Cheng Zicheng and Tang San himself had also advanced.

Such improvements were beyond their wildest dreams before. Du Bai and Gu Li had always feared they might be stuck at a bottleneck for life. Now, having broken through, the perilous training process seemed a small price to pay compared to their gains. As the saying goes, once the wound heals, the pain is forgotten.

Moreover, the increase in their strength greatly boosted their confidence. With such a rate of improvement, more training expeditions could naturally lead to even further advancements!

Wu Bingji also turned his gaze toward Tang San. He was the only one among the five who had not advanced this time, so Tang San’s successive advancements filled him with envy. Once he advanced again, he would truly reach a higher level—the seventh order, a watershed level. Only those who reached the seventh order were able to truly have a say in anything that was going on around them.

Tang San said, "We can\'t just rush things, guys. We\'ve made some serious gains, and everyone\'s leveled up, which is awesome. But it\'s not all about this one adventure. Much of it comes down to your hard work before we even started. Each of you hit a tough spot and was stuck for a while, and this chance helped you smash through. The thing is, cultivation isn\'t just about the thrills and pushing limits; it\'s also about building and soaking in what we\'ve learned. First, let’s dig into all the cool stuff we\'ve managed to pick up this time. Once we\'ve got that down, we can figure out our next big move."

Wu Bingji nodded and responded, "Little Tang\'s got a point. We\'ve leveled up this time, and you guys took some really big steps forward. You should solidify your new skills before we think about going out again. Teacher Guan said they might be taking other students for mountain training later, but that\'s not for us. The teachers think we should keep building on what we\'ve got for now."

Du Bai and Gu Li were visibly disappointed, but they didn\'t object.

Tang San smiled and proposed, "How about we set some goals? Gu Li, you need to practice the Disorder Wind Splitting Hammer until you absolutely nail it. Try to hit eighteen strikes smoothly. Cheng Zicheng, try to pull off three strikes of the Golden Wing Wind Splitting Slash. And Du Bai, you work on the basics of that spiritual power method I showed you. You need to be able to use it a little. Once we all hit these marks, we can think about heading out for another adventure. Sound good?"

"I have no issues," Gu Li said without hesitation, then quickly added, "Little Tang, what method of cultivating spiritual power did you teach Du Bai? Can I learn it, too?"

This was a reasonable request. After all, the Chrono Croc Transformation also required strong spiritual power as a support. However, Tang San thought momentarily and replied, "It might not work out. This training method needs you to be able to control spiritual power. Du Bai hasn\'t got it down yet either. Plus, your Chrono Croc just leveled up; maybe hold off on trying this for now. I\'m worried it could go sideways if you try it too early."

Disappointed, Gu Li said, "Alright then. I\'ll focus on the hammer first. Once I\'ve mastered it, I\'ll take care of that Zhang Zebin, heh heh heh."
