Peak of Green Bamboo Mountain.
In Lin Shikang's courtyard, the six remaining members of the Lin Family of Shi's generation sat inside, chatting.
After the great battle, clan affairs entangled them, and those who were in seclusion stayed secluded, never gathering together.
Now, as matters had gradually been handled and the Lin Family had returned to the right track, it was naturally time to account for the family's losses and gains.
After some idle chat, Lin Shihua took out a book and, following the recorded counts, began to report. Lin Shikang and the others listened attentively.
The Lin Family's losses were huge in this battle: not only did more than twenty clan members die in battle, but a substantial amount of elixirs, talismans, and spiritual artifacts were consumed, depleting years of accumulated resources.
After reporting the losses, it was time to inventory the gains.
Lin Shihua took out dozens of storage bags and placed them on the stone table in the middle of the group, all containing possessions of the Jin Family members who had died on Green Bamboo Mountain.
The six of them each picked up a storage bag from the ground, wiped away the lingering divine sense, and started to check the contents.
An hour later, they had finished tallying this batch of storage bags from Qi Refining Stage clanspeople.
In total, there were over 8,500 spirit stones, more than 200 consumable elixirs, fewer than 40 intact spiritual artifacts, and a large number of damaged remnants of spiritual artifacts, with hardly any talismans.
Just calculating the totals, Lin Shihua's face darkened as he complained repeatedly,
"This is far too little, isn't it? Over forty Jin Family members above the Sixth Level of Qi Refining, and this is all the spirit stones they had—an average of barely two hundred spirit stones per person, no better than a Loose Cultivator."
Lin Shigong frowned slightly and said helplessly,
"That's quite normal. They were participating in a great war, not strolling through a market. Naturally, they wouldn't carry too many treasures; otherwise, they would just be benefiting the enemy in case they fell."
"That makes sense."
Lin Shihua agreed with a nod and quickly registered it in the book.
Next, Lin Shigong took out more than ten storage bags, which were the possessions of the Jin Family Cultivators stationed at the market and goods from the Jin Family shops. The quantity was not small.
In no time, the group quickly tallied the treasures inside.
There were over 11,000 spirit stones, more than 600 elixirs, as well as a fair number of talismans and spiritual artifacts, and varying amounts of Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Ore.
Although they only obtained a little more than ten storage bags, the wealth inside far exceeded the batch Lin Shihua had tallied.
After their estimation, this wealth amounted to about 25,000 spirit stones.
Lin Shihua packed up the categorized storage bags, and everyone turned their attention to Lin Shilu.
Lin Shilu had breached Jin Family's Protective Formation and acquired all the wealth of the Jin Family—a thousand years of accumulation, which was undoubtedly substantial. Everyone looked at him with eyes full of expectation and anticipation.
Lin Shilu chuckled and calmly handed Lin Shihua two storage bags, which contained the spirit stones and Cultivation Techniques they had acquired from the hidden treasure vault of the Jin Family.
Lin Shihua accepted the storage bags and began to inspect them.
Upon seeing nearly 70,000 spirit stones inside, his breath immediately became rapid.
Lin Shigong and the others, curious, hurriedly snatched the storage bags from Lin Shilu's hands to take turns inspecting them.
"Hiss..."
Apart from Lin Shilu, everyone's face turned red, and even Lin Shikang, who was usually calm, couldn't help but gasp in shock.
At this moment, the people present had flushed faces and hearts filled with extreme excitement and agitation that took a long while to subside.
Taking advantage of their distraction, Lin Shilu took out more than two hundred storage bags and filled the stone table, all belonging to Jin Family members who had stayed behind in the Jin Family Clan's Territory.
After about ten breaths, everyone eventually calmed down and began to tally these storage bags.
Cultivation Techniques, Spirit Stones, Elixirs, Talismans, Spiritual Artifacts...
It took nearly half a day to completely tally the treasures inside.
Having seen such a vast quantity of treasures, Lin Shihua and the others had become numb to it.
The spirit stones Lin Shilu brought back neared 120,000, plus five Cultivation Techniques, numerous books, more than thirty mature Third Order Spiritual Medicines, and countless First and Second Order items.
After everyone's estimation, excluding Cultivation Techniques and books, which were difficult to price, the value of the other treasures was definitely no less than 300,000 spirit stones.
Beyond their shock, they secretly compared the wealth of the Jin Family to that of the Lin Family.
Setting aside the value of the Cultivation Techniques, the wealth worth 300,000 spirit stones was still staggering; at the very least, the Lin Family couldn't come close, and they were far behind.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh, recognizing that the Jin Family, which had long dominated the market, never falling out of the top three, had amassed a great amount of wealth over a thousand years. They truly were an ancient family with profound foundations.
After Lin Shilu finished tallying, there were still a few storage bags in Lin Shikang's hands that hadn't been counted.
In his possession were the storage bags of Jin Zhiying and Zhuang Zhenxin. Given their cultivations and their status as Second Order Array Masters, their contents must be extraordinary.
Not only that, the treasures looted from the Sun Family's territory and the annihilated Wu Family were also in Jin Zhiying's possession.
Although the treasures obtained by Lin Shilu were already of great value, the items in Lin Shikang's possession might surpass those.
Everyone looked eagerly at Lin Shikang, their eyes burning with anticipation.
Lin Shikang did not delay. He immediately took out a dozen storage bags, two of which were very conspicuous and obviously not ordinary.
Lin Shikang distributed the storage bags among them, and they began to tally.
After half an hour, they completed the inspection of the storage bags, everyone's faces flush with color, and Lin Shihua even broke out into wild laughter.
Indeed, as they had expected, these dozen storage bags, although few in number, contained no shortage of treasures.
