With a flash, the Xuan Turtle arrived in front of a jade door and looked inside. The space inside wasn't small, resembling a storage room.
There were only a few rows of wooden shelves and a pile of spirit stones in one corner, with nothing else. The pile of spirit stones seemed to number over a hundred thousand, but they were all low-grade spirit stones, only considered a small gain.
With a wave of its hand, the Xuan Turtle collected these spirit stones and walked towards another stone door. Inside were also two wooden shelves, holding many knives, swords, and other items, numbering thirty to forty. He glanced at them, slightly disappointed, as they were all magical artifacts, not a single magic treasure.
Judging by the accumulated dust and the haphazard arrangement, it was clear that no one had touched them for a long time. Many magical artifacts had dimmed auras, their value not even as great as the spirit stones he had just collected.
The Xuan Turtle then arrived at another stone door, which was closed, making it somewhat unusual here.
Because most of the jade openings on the surrounding jade walls didn't have doors, just dark doorways, only a few had doors.
Sensing that there were no restrictions on the jade door, the Xuan Turtle directly pushed it open and entered. A dazzling light shone into his eyes, the light coming from a foot-long spatial rift in the air, with gusts of cold wind blowing out.
The Xuan Turtle couldn't help but be stunned, because this light was a stable spatial rift. This spatial rift steadily floated in mid-air, occasionally flashing with black or white starlight.
In the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm, encountering spatial rifts wasn't surprising.
However, they were currently inside a piece of jade, and this jade was the cave dwelling of a great demon king. Seeing a spatial rift inside was somewhat unusual.
No one would build a cave dwelling near a spatial rift, even a stable one, as it could suddenly change and pose a danger. The Xuanming Turtle was a tenth-order great demon king and couldn't possibly not know this.
Besides this spatial rift and a thick layer of dust on the ground, there was nothing else. It was an empty stone room.
Could this spatial rift have formed later? The Xuan Turtle had this thought. After pondering for a moment, he felt it was quite possible.
But even if it was a spatial rift that formed later, most cultivators would choose another place to build a cave dwelling and would never stay near it.
It seemed that this stone cave had a stone door to seal the spatial rift. But no restrictions were set, as if the Xuanming Turtle didn't care about having a spatial rift in his cave dwelling at all.
Was it that this great demon king was confident in his strength and didn't care? Or were there other reasons? The Xuan Turtle felt that this spatial rift was too abrupt here, somewhat strange.
The Xuanming Turtle's corpse was outside, and he had been dead for a long time, so he naturally wouldn't come back to answer his questions.
"Hurry over, everyone, I've found something good here."
Suddenly, Jin Yu's voice came from not far away. Upon hearing this voice, the others who were scattered around exploring all looked towards Jin Yu's location.
Jin Yu was currently on the other side of the stone cave he was in, also having opened a stone room. He could vaguely sense that there were treasures flashing inside that stone room. It seemed that many treasures were sealed inside.
The others also gathered towards that side upon hearing the voice. In a short while, everyone arrived in front of Jin Yu.
Spiritual light flickered inside the stone room, filled with spirit stones taking up more than half the space, all of them mid-grade spirit stones. Besides that, there were some other spiritual mines and demon beast materials piled on the other side, basically filling the entire space.
On the left side, against the wall, was a five- or six-foot square jade shelf. The shelf had three layers, the top layer holding over a dozen glittering magic treasures and ancient treasures.
The middle layer held some jade bottles, jade boxes, and other items, seemingly some pills. The bottom layer held some scrolls and jade slips.
Looking at these treasures, everyone's eyes flickered a few times, but they were still able to maintain their composure.
The Xuan Turtle roughly scanned the area and basically determined the approximate value of these treasures. The spirit stones were self-explanatory, and the pile of demon beast and spiritual mine materials were mostly materials from high-level demon beasts.
The most valuable were still the items on the shelf. Just the magic treasures on the top row, judging by the spiritual power fluctuations they emitted, were all high-quality magic treasures.
"Hehe, this stone cave contains most of the treasures that the Xuanming Turtle King brought down."
While everyone was silently estimating the value of the treasures, the Dragon Crocodile suddenly sneered, seemingly not caring about these treasures.
"Do you all have any other gains? Take them out and let's estimate the value of the items, and then distribute them now, how about it? I found a piece of top-grade Aqualight Jade and a Xuanming Turtle statue cast from Yin-Cold Iron."
With a flip of the Dragon Crocodile's hand, a smooth, mirror-like black stone and a ten-foot tall stone statue fell to the side.
The black stone resembled a pebble, fully seven or eight feet in size. It had some faint blue spiritual patterns on it, emitting a rich water spiritual power.
The statue was also carved in the image of the Xuanming Turtle, and the whole body was also black, but it was engraved with many blood-colored demon clan characters, like a specially refined item.
Not to mention the value of the statue, just such a large piece of Aqualight Jade was valuable.
Because Aqualight Jade was also a kind of spiritual eye stone, a product of spiritual veins. And it could only be born from spiritual veins condensed from special water spiritual power.
The rich water spiritual power emitted by the Aqualight Jade in front of him was no weaker than the spiritual energy emitted by a high-grade spiritual vein, it was indeed a top-grade Aqualight Jade.
This treasure was definitely a sought-after treasure for cultivators who practiced water attribute techniques.
Seeing this, the others also took out the things they had searched for earlier.
Instantly, another pile of things was piled on the ground. The snake demon Liu Qing took out more than a dozen green spiritual ginsengs, seven or eight of which had grown to a size of ten feet, reaching a thousand years of age.
These spiritual ginsengs were all of the same variety, and the Xuan Turtle recognized them at a glance. This was a fourth-grade water attribute spiritual medicine, Azure Water Spiritual Ginseng.
Madam Yan took out a crimson bronze cauldron and some array disks, array flags, and other miscellaneous items. The bronze cauldron was filled with a strong fire spiritual power, and it was an ancient treasure.
But those array disks and array flags were mostly damaged, and it was unknown what formation they were originally used to set up.
The Xuan Turtle also took out the lowest-grade spirit stones he had just received, and thirty to forty magical artifacts.
The others only glanced at the things he took out and then stopped paying attention. Obviously, with the wealth of each transformed demon cultivator, these low-value magical artifacts couldn't catch their eyes.
As for Old Demon Feng, he shook his head, having gained nothing.
But the Xuan Turtle instantly felt several divine sense powers quietly scanning the few stone rooms that Old Demon Feng had just explored.
Old Demon Feng looked as usual, as if he hadn't noticed these situations.
The Xuan Turtle laughed in his heart, he didn't think that Old Demon Feng would hide treasures at this time.
When they were scattered to explore the treasures just now, he sensed that when he was exploring three stone caves, there were also other people's divine sense powers scanning back and forth nearby.
It was basically impossible to hide treasures under the noses of these old monsters.
Then, with Jin Yu as the representative, he examined the treasures collected by everyone. The others looked at the treasures while discussing their value.
It took a full quarter of an hour to be counted clearly. Jin Yu coughed lightly and said with a normal expression.
"Everyone, we have almost checked these treasures. There are more than 170,000 low-grade spirit stones, more than 15,000 mid-grade spirit stones. And more than 300 high-grade spirit stones. The value of various spiritual mines and demon beast materials is also between three and four million spirit stones. I have roughly divided them into six piles on average. I think you all have no objection to dividing these ordinary things equally."
"There are also seven ancient treasures, eleven magic treasures, and several rare spiritual mines, which are difficult to estimate the value. However, we demon cultivators rarely use these human race magic treasures, our bodies can basically withstand these things, but these treasures can be sold to human race cultivators and exchanged for many things useful to us. So whoever wants them can rely on their own intentions."
"Finally, these few Azure Water Spiritual Ginsengs, eight of them have reached a thousand years of medicinal power, and the other few are also more than seven or eight hundred years old. There are also these few bottles of good fourth-grade pills, with various attributes, if you like them, you can give priority to allocating them."
After Jin Yu finished speaking, he glanced at everyone. Of course, there were some things that were not directly taken out for distribution. Like those jade slips and scrolls, everyone also looked at them, most of them were human race cultivators' cultivation techniques, and some classics on formations, alchemy, and weapon refining.
It seemed that the Xuanming Turtle had collected them during his lifetime. No one paid attention to these things, after all, they were all demon cultivators, and not many were interested in this.
Of course, the Aqualight Jade that the Dragon Crocodile took out, and the Xuanming Turtle statue engraved with demon characters, were somewhat special and were not directly allocated.
But in fact, these things were not the most valuable here. Although everyone was distributing these treasures, the Xuan Turtle keenly noticed that the people present would occasionally look at the black Two-Yi Gourd and the Xuanming Turtle's corpse.
A pseudo-spiritual treasure, and the real body of a tenth-order demon cultivator said to have Xuanwu blood, were the most valuable treasures here.
"This old man is interested in these three Cyan-Yellow Stones, and this Dry-Yang Wood. Does anyone have any objections?"
Suddenly, Old Demon Feng opened his mouth and pointed to three half-zhang-sized Cyan-Yellow spiritual mines in a pile of materials. And a wooden stick emitting a withered yellow spiritual energy.
"Haha, since Fellow Daoist Feng is fond of these things, then just take them first." Jin Yu heard someone speak, glanced at everyone with a happy expression, and immediately waved his hand, and three Cyan-Yellow Stones flew up, along with the spiritual wood, and flew to Old Demon Feng.
Cyan-Yellow Stone was also a special spiritual mine, even rarer than Astral Silver. The three Cyan-Yellow Stones in front of him were not small, and their combined value exceeded one million spirit stones.
Plus a three-thousand-year-old Dry Spirit Wood, the things that Old Demon Feng chose were basically between two million spirit stones. This old demon knew how to choose, and the things he chose were exactly the two most valuable items in the pile of materials.
"Yo, Old Demon Feng, you chose Cyan-Yellow Stone, could it be that the Gluttonous Spirit Devouring Art that this old brother cultivates is about to break through." The Dragon Crocodile glanced at Old Demon Feng and laughed strangely.
"Hehe, Brother Long overestimates, although the Gluttonous Spirit Devouring Art is a secret technique passed down by the Heavenly Demon, but it's not that easy to practice, and it's a big problem to choose special spiritual materials to cooperate with oneself. Feng can only be considered to have achieved a little, not as good as Brother Long's Dragon Transformation Art."
