Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Tallying the Harvest

At that moment, Lu Li slowly walked up to Lu Yuting and another person.

He took out the spare Storage Bag from his waist and, with a smile, handed it to Lu Yuting, “Third Aunt, please exchange some of these items inside for Spirit Stones. The kid needs a large amount of Spirit Stones.”

For nearly twenty years, these few had been his closest and most trustworthy people within the Lu Family. Now, it was much more convenient for Third Aunt to handle some spiritual materials.

The family’s channels were safer than secretly selling them in the market.

Lu Yuting took the Storage Bag and, after a brief scan with her Divine Sense, was extremely shocked.

“This… so many spiritual materials, and also Spirit Rice and spirit fish…”

“Did you kid rob a Major Sect!”

Lu Yuting jokingly scolded with a smile, without delving deeper.

“I’ll convert all these to Spirit Stones, without letting you suffer any loss. Some of the Top Grade Magic Artifacts can be sold in the family store.”

“You kid, you’ve been able to refine Top Grade Magic Artifacts so quickly and still kept it from us. From now on, let me handle these.”

“However, becoming a Top Grade Artifact Refiner is not easy. You can use the Earth Fire Room on Family Island for free.”

Having said that, she immediately took out a Jade Token and handed it over.

The Jade Token, size of a palm, was as white as jade, with several flame markings carved on the front.

For a junior with boundless potential, she was also sparing no effort in her support.

Lu Li took the Jade Token, smiled, and nodded. Then, he took out a bottle of Earth Origin Spiritual Nectar each for Lu Qingqing and Lu Yuting.

Both of them were thrilled to receive the Spiritual Nectar, since if it weren’t for a bottle of Spiritual Nectar sustaining their Mana this time, the consequences could have been unimaginable.

“Let’s quickly explore this place and take away all the Spiritual Objects here.”

Lu Yuting quietly spoke to everyone at this moment.

The three of them nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Afterward, the group walked toward the entrance ahead.

Before long, the group passed through the gloomy passage and arrived inside a large hall, where several passages appeared at the far end.

In the center of the hall, there was a damaged Blood Pool, leaking crimson liquid, and the ground was a mess, clearly having just undergone a major battle.

“Li, it was you who exterminated this demon, right?”

Lu Yuting looked at the broken bodies lying on the ground and the massive sword marks, feeling a complex mix of emotions inside.

If it weren’t for Li showing off his skills today, even if they could have escaped, they might have been seriously injured. She still blamed herself for being too careless.

Lu Li just smiled and did not explain much.

“Let’s search this place separately. Yu Ling and I will go to the right, and Third Aunt with Qingqing to the left, how about that?”

Lu Yuting nodded in agreement, “Let’s do as Li said, after scavenging this place, meet outside the mountain.”

The group then split up again, each heading in their respective directions.

Lu Li and Yu Ling approached a large entrance on the right side underground.

The entrance was very deep, tens of meters in circumference, smelling strongly of blood mixed with the scent of soil.

Lu Li and Yu Ling walked in together.

The interior was somewhat cold, surrounded by walls of stalactite, and the ground was very moist, with the soil feeling somewhat soft when stepped on.

Lu Li deployed a Defensive Magical Artifact over their heads and slowly explored forward.

Before long, a faint light appeared ahead.

The two followed the light all the way to the bottom of the passage.

Crossing the passage, they came upon a massive underground square.

Lu Li turned his head to survey the surroundings. The entire square stretched dozens of meters, filled with pillars made of stalactite.

The pillars were densely covered with Exotic Beast Runes, very peculiar.

Faint, weak wailing sounds were also emanating through the air.

Lu Li and Yu Ling followed the sounds toward the deeper part of the square.

There, they saw building-like structures resembling prisons erected at the deepest part of the square.

The buildings, made entirely of fine iron, emitted a dark glow.

These dozens of prisons were holding a group of Qi Refinement Realm, middle and late stage Cultivators, both men, and women.

At that moment, these Cultivators were each held by giant black iron chains around their necks, their Storage Bags nowhere in sight.

Furthermore, their auras were very weak, even their Mana seemed to be restricted.

Seeing Lu Li and Yu Ling approaching, the group of Cultivators glared at them with hatred.

“You demon spawns, you will surely be eradicated…”

People began to spit out curses, obviously mistaking the two for allies of the Demon Cultivators.

In the prison on the far right, there was a pale-faced woman, about twenty years old, frail, wearing a white dress stained with traces of blood, and beside her was a transparent tube-like item.

The woman sat on the ground, head bowed, silent, as if she had already given up hope.

Lu Li looked at the transparent tube beside the woman, his heart chilled, and he had a guess.

If he was not mistaken, this device was used to extract the blood of Cultivators to feed a group of Blood Corpses, and the other Cultivators had the same device.

“These Demon Cultivators are really inhumane! Treating Cultivators like livestock.”

At this moment, Yu Ling, upon hearing the curses from the crowd, was furious.

“We are Cultivators from the Lu Family. We’ve just exterminated the Demon Cultivators and came to rescue you. You really are unreasonable!”

Hearing this, the group of Cultivators all showed disbelief.

Having been imprisoned for a long time, they had already lost hope of getting out. Hearing that someone had actually come to rescue them, hope suddenly surged in their hearts.

“Are you really Cultivators from the Lu Family?”

Their eyes revealed a glimmer of hope.

The woman also raised her head at this moment, showing a very fragile expression but with a hint of stubbornness.

Lu Li did not answer and directly activated the Aminokaze. The massive sword light flashed in the void, slashing towards the lock on the front door.
