Chapter 943: Chapter 27 Qi Treasure_2 Chapter 943: Chapter 27 Qi Treasure_2 âDonât let your minds wander; Iâm not groping in the dark here.â
Those on Yuhuang Peak looked at each other, at a loss for words.
Song Dongyang, as the highest-ranking official present, took it upon himself to assume his duties, turning to Tang Ji:
âGuardian Tang, please arrange for Defense Arrays along the border with Chen State to guard against a surprise attack from the Kingdom of Immortals.
Additionally, all sects and towns close to Chen State are to relocate inward to prevent infiltration by anyone from the Kingdom of ImmortalsââŹÂŚâ
âRight Enforcer, Enforcer LiââŹÂŚ Letâs start by assisting the Daoist friends from Qi, refining those miscellaneous itemsââŹÂŚâ
Wang Ba looked anxiously at the horizon, which had swallowed Yao Wudiâs figure, and then nodded in agreement.
Their purpose in coming to Chen State was to inventory the treasures brought by the survivors from Qi, and now they were truly occupied with the essential tasks at hand.
Several days later.
Song Dongyang, Wang Ba, and the others, gazed at a space encircled by a Formation.
What had been a vast area as large as a medium-sized mortal city was now filled with a variety of spirit materials, elixirs, talismans, magical tools, spirit beasts, and spirit plants.
...
âQi had stood for over ten thousand years, and half of their accumulations seem to be here,â Song Dongyang couldnât help but remark.
As the Deputy Master of the Earth Hall, he was accustomed to seeing countless precious treasures, but the sight of so many at once still made his face show astonishment.
After all, many of the items only passed through Earth Hall briefly, transferred and moved on quickly, so the quantities he saw each time werenât usually overwhelming.

Yet, what lay before them was the culmination of a dynastyâs years of accumulation.
Although there were not many extremely rare items and the number of Class V treasures was meager, adding these materials to the sect would not only alleviate the pressure from constructing the Tribulation Crossing Raft but also augment and enrich the Myriad Cave.
This indirectly enhanced the overall strength of the sectâs low to mid-class disciples.
Upon hearing these words, Wang Baâs gaze lingered over the treasures before him.
So much!
It was incredibly tempting.
Not to mention the precious elixirs and talismans, just the wind, thunder, and even ice-attributed fourth-grade spiritual materials were enough to excite him.
And not to speak of the various rare spirit beasts that were clearly of great value.
If he could consume the resources within this space, putting aside everything else, just give him time, and he even had the confidence that he could cultivate to a Fulfillment-stage Nascent Soul.
Regarding Immortal Ascension, although these resources were considerable, not all could be utilized by him, and for the Myriad Laws Lineage, it was still somewhat insufficient.
With the other half of Qiâs legacy, however, it would be enough.
This was normal since the vast Qi Dynasty had only supported six ordinary Immortal Ascensions.
The resources here were, evidently, beyond their needs.
And the Myriad Laws Lineage, in particular, was a huge consumer of resources.
Even the Wanxiang Sect found it challenging, let alone Qi.
Though his heart itched for the treasures, Wang Ba still tried hard to control himself, to not become a slave to these treasures.
Right then, Song Dongyang spoke solemnly:
âOn this expedition, Enforcer Jiang, Protector Ke, and Enforcer YanââŹÂŚ sacrificed for the sect, a heartbreaking loss.
But with these riches, we can at least have something to show to the sect and our fellow disciples.â
The others fell silent upon hearing this, the atmosphere growing heavy.
Noticing the solemnity, Song Dongyang seemed to realize, and he swiftly changed the subject, looking at Wang Ba with a rare smile:
âRight Enforcer, from now on, you will lead your fellow disciples to take inventory of these materialsââŹÂŚ Remember, any treasure whose effects we cannot ascertain should be set aside for separate study.
But if we end up with too many we canât figure out, Right Enforcer, I will be holding you accountable.â
With that, he gave Wang Ba a meaningful glance.
Sensing Song Dongyangâs gaze, Wang Ba was initially puzzled, but then a thought struck him.
Uncertain effects?
Master Song meansâŚ
With this realization, he looked at Song Dongyang in mild surprise before quickly responding:
âYes, Wang Ba will surely lead the fellow disciples in this task!â
Seeing that Wang Ba understood, Song Dongyang smiled:
âAll right then, you go on with your work.
I still need to keep an eye on the Kingdom of Immortalsâ situation.â
âYes.â
Wang Ba bowed respectfully.
After Song Dongyang had left.
Wang Ba began giving orders.
Once finished, he hesitated, then left the Formation area and sensed his surroundings before flying off in the direction of Song Dongyang.
When Wang Ba approached, Song Dongyang, who was arranging for the All Appearance Sect Cultivators, was taken aback, thinking Wang Ba hadnât understood his earlier hint and spoke plainly:
âWhy didnât you go and select a few things to use?â
Wang Ba thought âas expectedâ internally, but replied sincerely:
âMaster Song has braved life and death without claiming his due reward, how could Wang Ba dare to overreach.â
Knowing that Wang Ba was flattering him, Song Dongyangâs mood lightened considerably, his eyes narrowing with a smile:
âYou do have a way with words, kid.â
After looking at Wang Ba, he explained:
âDonât think that by letting you take things Iâm causing you harm.
This is a sort of unspoken benefit for Earth Hall cultivators on missions.
Itâs okay to keep a little of some less crucial items as they pass through our hands.
The sect tacitly approves as long as it stays discreet.â
Wang Ba inwardly relaxed a bit.
He hadnât thought Song Dongyang was harming him.
