When they returned to the courtyard, Qi Tian asked Pan Yulin to bring out all the treasures that he had found from the cultivator of Chi Di.

In front of everyone, Pan Yulin took things out one by one. The most important was a Storage Bag, followed by the several pieces of jewelry and armor he wore. Then came the Spirit Sword, which had been knocked away by Qi Tian.

Qi Tian asked Pan Yulin to take out everything from the Storage Bag. As everything came out, everyone’s eyes bulged, except for Qi Tian’s. The cultivator from Chi Di was incredibly wealthy. The Storage Bag was about the size of a room and was nearly filled with all kinds of cultivation resources—spirit stones, elixirs, natural treasures, cultivation techniques, and some other miscellaneous items.

Everyone was dazzled, especially Pan Yulin and Zhang Guangyao. They wanted to grab the treasures and put them into their own bags. One of them was an independent cultivator, the other wasn’t highly regarded in the Imperial Master Mansion, and both lacked cultivation resources. Zhang Lei and Jiang Pan were relatively better off, but they were still envious when they saw so many cultivation resources.

However, everyone knew that Qi Tian had the final say on how these items would be distributed. To be honest, during the attack on the Chi Di cultivator, it seemed like everyone had contributed, but without Qi Tian, they would have been wiped out. If Qi Tian took most of the items, they had no grounds to complain.

Qi Tian smiled and said, “I’ll state the distribution rules. First, everyone can copy the cultivation techniques. Secondly, we will equally divide spirit stones, elixirs, and various natural treasures amongst the five of us. Weapons, armor and accessories will be shared according to their value. Everything else goes to me. What do you all think of this distribution plan?”

After hearing this, everyone quickly agreed. Qi Tian had proposed to share most of the cultivation resources evenly. There was nothing to complain about him keeping the rest. They even felt embarrassed, thinking that Qi Tian was asking for too little.

Qi Tian didn’t haggle with Zhang Lei and others about the size of their shares. He allowed them to take the spirit stones, elixirs, natural treasures, weapons, and armor, and calculate and divide them equally. His share was also calculated by them, but he kept the surplus items that didn’t belong to any cultivation resource category and studied them in his room.

The first items Qi Tian checked were the talismans. He hoped to find some powerful ones like the Explosive Thunder Talismans that could threaten Foundation Establishment mid-stage and late-stage cultivators in battle. However, these talismans were quite common, suitable for lower stages but just passable for mid-stage Foundation Establishment, and definitely not for late-stage.

After putting aside the talismans, Qi Tian began to check other items. He found a square jade pendant, which looked bland at first glance. However, Qi Tian discovered several shallow lines on it. These lines looked like a painting and could be easily overlooked. But Qi Tian was a talisman expert and recognized these lines as an advanced technique of modifying talismans. Even someone with knowledge of talismans might not have been able to notice this.

Qi Tian smiled slightly and transmitted his True Essence into the jade pendant. The lines remained quiet without any movement. Qi Tian swiftly tapped on the lines with his fingers. In the blink of an eye, the lines lit up, flew out from the jade pendant, intertwined in the air and formed a talisman before landing back on the pendant.

As Qi Tian tapped his finger on the talisman, a hole as wide as a bowl mouth appeared before his eyes. When he probed the hole, he felt many items inside it. He quickly pulled out everything, making a decent pile.

Altogether, it could fill a large luggage, with a Chi Di military uniform, a letter of appointment, and a letter. These were ordinary things with no spiritual fluctuations. Apart from these, there were items useful to cultivators.

There were ten brocade boxes filled with middle-grade spirit stones, each box containing ten stones. Furthermore, there was a top-grade spirit stone. There were several bottles of mid-stage Foundation Establishment elixirs, two Explosive Thunder Talismans that Qi Tian had been desperately seeking, and some precious natural treasures. However, Qi Tian was most intrigued by two cultivation methods: “Heavenly Deception Skills” and “The Twenty-Seven Meridian Diagram.”

He picked up “The Twenty-Seven Meridian Diagram” first and gave it a glance, his eyes widened immediately. It was a cultivation method describing the meridians in the human body, detailing twenty-seven meridians in total. Not only did it indicate where they began and ended, it also specified which should be opened first and what to be aware of during the process. Moreover, the method documented elixirs specifically for opening the meridians.
