Section 10: The Immortal's Pouch, an Unexpected Spoils of War

  An hour later, he crossed the forest and arrived at the foot of the nameless volcano.

  There is a mountain stream here.

  Gurgling streams, winding out of the depths of the forest, like a jade belt, unfolding before Chu Yun's face.

  "Consistent with memory." Chu Yun let out a breath of relief, confirming that this place was relatively safe.

  The stream is very wide, with a width of four zhang. But it's very shallow, the deepest place is less than three feet. An adult can roll up their pants and wade across.

  Chu Yun stepped on the big and small goose eggs, walked to the creek, squatted down, and drank a mouthful of cool creek water. The refreshing creek water had a hint of sweetness that was barely perceptible, greatly soothing his parched throat. Although he had a full basket of fresh coconut milk, it was for incubating eggs and couldn't be enjoyed by himself.

  Then he laid out the spoils of war that he had won at the cost of nine deaths and one life, and began to examine them carefully.

  When collecting items in the dark forest, it's hard to see clearly. There are also mysterious bats lurking nearby, who knows if they will suddenly get excited and give themselves a poisonous needle? Therefore, although Chu Yun personally collected the spoils of war, he wasn't very clear about their value.

  He reached out and picked up one of the machetes. The blade was polished to a high shine, but the handle was stained with blood, indicating that there were not a few innocent souls who had died at its edge.

  This sword is one of many. Besides, Chu Yun has a Mountain-Cleaving Sword in hand, so this one would be useless to him. He simply discarded it to the side.

  Next were the pouches. There were eleven pouches, two of which were exquisitely crafted and obviously belonged to the two demon masters. Chu Yun picked up one of the ordinary bags, and before even opening it to take a look, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

  With his keen sense of weight, he immediately knew that there were quite a few earth-terminating stone coins in the bag.

  Open it and take a look, indeed!

  There were as many as 80 pieces of Jiaozhi coins.

  So rich?

  Chu Yun became even more expectant, putting down the money bag in his hand and then opening one after another the remaining money bags.

  He was surprised to find that in each bag, there were at least 60 pieces of Dixi stone coins. The two demon masters' money bags each had 120 pieces of Dixi stone coins. Including the 50 on Chu Yun's body, he now had a total of 992 pieces of Dixi stone coins, a considerable fortune!

  With 30 pieces of Di Sha Shi coins, a ordinary family can eat and drink for more than a month. Lao Hong Qiang worked hard to sell salt for two days, but only earned an income of 50 pieces of Di Sha Shi coins.

  "992 pieces of Geo-Slaughter Coins, almost a thousand. It's true that war and plunder are the fastest ways to accumulate wealth." Chu Yun sighed inwardly and shifted his gaze to two unique leather pouches.

  Compared to the plebeian and vulgar money pouch, these two leather pouches are like emperors next to beggars, exuding an air of nobility and elegance. One has a snow-white silk base, embroidered with golden thread, and a red satin cord at the opening. The other is made of earthy yellow glossy leather, adorned with a wide jade belt, and its ends are decorated with two large, spotless white pearls.

  People call this bag "magic purse".

  The demon master uses the immortal bag to capture and load demonic beasts. The immortal bag is carried with him, and when the demon master faces a crisis, he opens the immortal bag, and the demonic beast emerges from it to accept his command and go into battle.

  "What a pity, these two treasure bags are both owned by someone and have been refined before. To reuse them, they can only be dismantled and the original materials recovered. However, even so, the value of the recovered materials is still quite high. At least it's worth around 1,800 Earthly Demon Coins."

  Chu Yun's eyes flickered, somewhat uncertain. He didn't have much research on the immortal pouch, and couldn't compare to a professional pouch maker.

  Then he began to clean up the scattered things except for the wallet and the change purse.

  The value of these knives is far less than his mountain-opening knife, and they are all murder weapons. Chu Yun threw them aside.

  There are also some pendants and necklaces taken from them, most of which are made of stones and shells, which have a blessing meaning in customs. However, the value is very small and cannot be sold.

  "It seems there's nothing valuable left." As she flipped through them casually, Chu Yun's eyes suddenly lit up with disappointment, and she found two medicine bottles.

  He took a slight breath, slowly opened the bottle stopper with one hand, and gently fanned the mouth of the bottle with his other hand, allowing a wisp of medicinal gas to enter his nostrils.

  Joy surged instantly, a smile bloomed on Chu Yun's face: "This is actually half a bottle of Youyuan Dan and one bottle of Xueqi Dan. What a wonderful coincidence, I just happen to need these medicines."

  One Blood Qi Pill is worth 50 Geo Coins. This small bottle of Blood Qi Pills contains 10 pills, with a total value of 500 Geo Coins.

  The Youyuan Dan is more expensive than the Xueqi Dan. One Youyuan Dan can be sold for 60 Di Sha Shi coins on the market. Chu Yun currently has five Youyuan Dans in his hand, which is equivalent to 300 Di Sha Shi coins.

  "By calculation, this time's gain should be around 3,000 Di Sha Shi coins. It can indeed be considered a windfall!" After the initial excitement, Chu Yun was also considering how to deal with Tian Bao Ge.

  The other side had a sinister intention when they saw the treasure, and actually wanted to kill people to get it. Especially the cunning displayed in it can infer that these things must not be done for the first time.

  "Killing and robbing behind the scenes, yet openly peddling money laundering. A business with no capital is booming, this Tianbao Pavilion is not simple." Relying on experience and intuition, Chu Yun felt that this Tianbao Pavilion was far from ordinary.

  "In my past life, I didn't know the true nature of Tianbao Pavilion. Now that I do, I won't let it harm Shujia Island with impunity. When Father returns from his patrol at sea this time, I'll report this matter to him."

  "Lao Die" is naturally the master of Shu Jia Island, Shu Tianhao, Chu Yun's adoptive father. He has great kindness to Chu Yun, although they are not related by blood, he is the only relative in this world that Chu Yun has. Chu Yun is grateful and respectful towards him.

  Chu Yun gathered her belongings and left the riverbank, continuing on her way to her destination.

  In the night sky, a bright full moon is hanging high, she gently looks down on everything, and generously emits her lunar glory.

  Chu Yun's mood was slightly pleasant, silently thanking the bright moonlight that made his field of vision broad and far from danger. Similarly happy were Shu Da and Shu Er.

  "Tonight, the moon is shining brightly, it's great! Tonight, I'm going to hatch the Sea Explosion Crocodile. Come on, bring Master's egg to the bedroom!" Shu Dai rushed back from the dining hall, looked up at the night sky and shouted excitedly as he walked along the way.

  "But, young master, the mistress has just instructed that we cannot rush the incubation of the demon beast egg. It consumes both physical and mental energy. It's best to rest for a night and take action tomorrow." The maid beside him said with a soft and gentle tone, carefully advising.

  "Huh?" Shu Da's face suddenly turned ferocious, his eyes gleaming with a fierce light.

  He stopped in his tracks, suddenly kicked out with one foot, and instantly kicked the maid's soft belly, kicking her to the ground.

  "Shu Da shouted in a loud and fierce tone: 'You little servant girl, how dare you speak out of turn in front of your master! What a big nerve you have! Does my business need to be taught by you? Get out quickly and arrange everything. Within one hour, if things are not arranged properly, I will lock you up in the backyard woodshed for three days and nights without food!'"

  "Yes, yes." The maid's face turned pale, her slender body trembling slightly as she struggled to get up. She lowered her head and hastily retreated, rushing to make arrangements for everything.

  "This gang of underlings, if they're not disciplined for a day, their bones start to itch. They really deserve a beating!" Shu Da let out a cold hum, his ferocious expression slowly easing up.

  Although Shu had indeed taken care of his two brothers at the dinner table, Shu was actually very disdainful in his heart. In his opinion, he himself was full of energy and not a waste like Shu Er. Incubating a demon beast egg was nothing big after all.

  What's wrong with you? Making a big deal out of nothing! Let's see what this young master has to say!

  With such an impatient mood, Shu Da returned to his bedroom and began to incubate the demon beast egg.

  Half an hour later, Shu was drenched in sweat, his body trembling slightly. His eyes were wide with fear, staring fixedly at the monster egg in front of him.

  He couldn't believe that he had spent so much time and still couldn't communicate with the crocodile in the egg. On the contrary, he was exhausted like a dead dog, panting heavily.

  No matter how hard he tried, the monster egg in front of him remained completely still.

  "Damn it! Sea Explosive Crocodile, get out of here!" He was furious and crazily yelled. However, the violent emotions unexpectedly triggered a resonance with the demonic beast in the egg. A blue glow emanated from the egg.

  Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...

  Blue light ripples like seawater in the bedroom. A strange beast egg emits a sound of rising and falling tides.

  "Fetal movement is so lively and bright, and the sound of fetal movement is wonderful! Good, good, good!" Shu Da's face turned red with excitement, her eyes shining brightly, and at this moment, her face was filled with an ecstatic expression.

  In his eager gaze, the spiritual light faded, and the wonderful sound drifted away. The Sea Exploding Crocodile's demonic beast egg began to tremble non-stop. Immediately after, extremely fine cracks appeared on the surface of the eggshell.

  Shu suddenly felt a dizziness in front of his eyes, the aftermath of physical exhaustion, which appeared at this moment.

  "It's too slow, by the time the sea turtle hatches from its egg, I'll have passed out already. No way!" He gritted his teeth and started to take action, forcibly prying open the cracked eggshell.

  The living creature inside the egg let out a loud roar and moved even faster. A moment later, a newborn sea crocodile emerged from the cracked eggshell.

  It resembles a crocodile, with a light blue color. However, unlike the quadrupedal gait of a crocodile, it stands upright on its hind legs and walks, swinging its front limbs in the air. Its large head protrudes from its mouth, which is full of sharp teeth.

  Although it was just a newborn sea explosion crocodile, it already had a hint of brutal and tyrannical aura.

  It let out a low growl, swept its crocodile tail, and began to absorb the yuanqi in the surrounding air. The blue water yuanqi formed a whirlpool. Hai Bao Chou was at the center of the whirlpool, opening his big mouth to inhale the endless water yuanqi.

  With a gulp, Shu's Adam's apple rolled and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He gazed intently at the Sea Exploding Crocodile, knowing that they had now reached the crucial moment. When evaluating a demon beast's growth potential, the most important thing was to see what level it could reach when it first absorbed spiritual energy after hatching.

  "One year of cultivation." Shu Da carefully observed, muttering to himself.

  "Two years of cultivation." His eyes were urgent.
