**Chapter 31: Counting the Spoils**
Luo Feng flew to the main entrance of the Yanfeng Hall. The attendant who had greeted Luo Feng last time was already waiting.
“Divine Lord,” the attendant said, stepping forward with a smile. “The Vice-Hall Master instructed me to invite you to his presence.”
“Vice-Hall Master?” Luo Feng nodded slightly. “Lead the way.”
The attendant guided Luo Feng away from the main building, deeper into the Yanfeng Hall’s architectural complex, and finally to a small building. The door was open. The attendant said, “The Vice-Hall Master is already inside, awaiting your arrival, Divine Lord.”
Luo Feng nodded and entered the small building, while the attendant remained outside, standing guard.
Inside the small building, a figure formed of grey mist was seated. Two hollows in the grey mist seemed to ‘smile’ as they gazed at Luo Feng.
“Divine Lord Luo He, please, take a seat,” the grey mist figure said, personally pouring wine.
Luo Feng sat opposite him.
“What do you think of this vintage?” the grey mist figure inquired.
Luo Feng picked up the wine cup and saw a chilling aura emanate from the liquid. He could faintly perceive the roars of terrifying beasts within. Filled with curiosity, Luo Feng took a small sip. A wave of cool sensation spread through his very soul.
“This wine is crafted using the blood of a God-King level exotic beast, the ‘Myriad Realms Icy Wind Beast.’ It nourishes the soul and can even improve one’s comprehension,” the grey mist figure explained. “The effects of drinking one cup can last for an entire day.”
“Improve comprehension?” Luo Feng asked, surprised.
The Myriad Realms Icy Wind Beast… He remembered it from the inheritance of the Duan Dong River lineage. This God-King level beast was formed from ice, and its icy scales naturally contained a myriad of universes. The sheer number of universes was staggering, hence the name ‘Myriad Realms.’ Its very breath contained a trace of the power of the Origin Dao, hence the name ‘Icy Wind.’ Not long after it appeared on the Origin Continent, it was captured alive by the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom! They kept it alive, constantly extracting its bodily materials to refine various elixirs, fine wines, and the like.
“I brought some with me when I left the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom. I only offer it to friends I truly admire,” the grey mist figure said.
“Vice-Hall Master is too kind,” Luo Feng replied. He indeed felt the cool sensation spreading through his soul, and his mental processes were accelerating significantly. Surely, as the other party said, his ‘comprehension’ had been enhanced.
The grey mist figure shook his head. “In a relatively remote kingdom like the Yu Kingdom, resources are ultimately limited. To be able to kill the Blood Python Guild Leader in a one-on-one battle at the Eternal True God stage… that is truly remarkable!”
Luo Feng smiled.
It was true. The Blood Python Guild Leader had deep accumulations in all aspects and used mechanical-type treasures. His strength was indeed extraordinary. It was difficult for an Eternal True God to kill him. Figures like Blood Cloud and Demon Owl were elites nurtured by God Kingdoms.
“I’ve come today to collect the bounty,” Luo Feng said.
“Before your engagement, you, Divine Lord Luo He, were the only one to accept the task. And soon after you accepted it, the Blood Python Guild Leader was dead,” the grey mist figure said. “However, according to the rules of the Yanfeng Hall’s Dark Division, you still need to provide proof of your kill.”
“Since you were the only one to accept the task, presenting the corpse, remains, or even his primary weapons and treasures will suffice,” the grey mist figure stated.
If several powerhouses accepted the task simultaneously, the Yanfeng Hall’s verification process would be much more rigorous.
“Will this do?” With a flip of his hand, Luo Feng produced the armor left behind by the Blood Python Guild Leader. There were several inconspicuous cracks and wounds on the armor. However, as an Eternal-grade treasure, these could slowly heal through the nurturing of divine power.
The grey mist figure glanced at it and nodded with a smile. “Acceptable!”
“This is the reward of 160,000 universe sand!” The grey mist figure waved his hand, and a jade bottle appeared before Luo Feng.
Luo Feng received the jade bottle and probed it with his divine power, confirming the presence of 160,000 universe sand within. Clearly, the Yanfeng Hall had been prepared.
“If Divine Lord Luo He has a large amount of universe sand that you don’t need immediately, you can temporarily store it with the Yanfeng Hall,” the grey mist figure said with a smile. “You can then exchange it at any Yanfeng Hall throughout the Origin Continent.”
“No need,” Luo Feng said as he rose.
He knew that the Yanfeng Hall offered storage services, especially for powerful cultivators who died without arranging for an heir. Their stored possessions would naturally become the Hall’s property.
“Vice-Hall Master, I’ll take my leave now,” Luo Feng said.
The grey mist figure rose to see him off.
After Luo Feng departed, a burly man materialized within the small building.
“Hall Master, weren’t you going to converse with him?” the grey mist figure asked, looking at the burly man.
“To be able to kill the Blood Python Guild Leader single-handedly… generally they have some kind of background. Either they’re elites nurtured by God Kingdoms, or they’ve had some incredible encounters and undergone extensive trials… But this Luo He has no record with the Yanfeng Hall,” the burly man shook his head gently. “I feel like he’s shrouded in mist.”
“Second Uncle, don’t you think he’s too casual? He brazenly stormed into the Blood Python Guild’s headquarters in broad daylight and slaughtered their Guild Leader. And after the deed, he immediately came to our Yanfeng Hall to claim the bounty,” the burly man frowned. “Doesn’t he realize that many forces in Huyang City must be watching the gates of the Yanfeng Hall? By coming here now, he’s surely been noticed by countless factions.”
The grey mist figure nodded. “Indeed, he’s too casual.”
“Which means, he doesn’t put those forces in his eyes,” the burly man grinned. “Only one thing is certain, he greatly values this bounty.”
“Most cultivators have to struggle for resources, ah,” the grey mist figure lamented. During his tenure overseeing the Yanfeng Hall, he’d become accustomed to Eternal True Gods resorting to any means for wealth.

Huyang City, Chaos Armor Residence Number 913.
“Divine Lord Luo Sa, I will be fine guarding here.” Mo Yu Qingyan was cultivating near the small building at the cave residence’s gate, while Moro Sa was carefully watching the door.
“Pay me no mind.” Moro Sa rebuked him.
“Yes.” Mo Yu Qingyan immediately shut his mouth and dared not say anything else. Moro Sa patiently waited.
Finally, the formation array of the residence activated, and the door naturally opened. Luo Feng flew in from the outside.
“Master.” Moro Sa instantly sprang forward, arriving near Luo Feng and smiling obsequiously. Mo Yu Qingyan immediately followed and stood off to the side, waiting.
Luo Feng looked at Moro Sa’s expression and smiled. “Rest assured, I tried my best to reserve your food.”
“Thank you, Master.” Moro Sa was overjoyed.
“Qingyan, quickly, you must diligently comprehend the laws.” Luo Feng instructed him.
“Yes.” Mo Yu Qingyan responded immediately.
Luo Feng then took Moro Sa to the underground grand hall.
“Master is really amazing. To directly kill his way into the Blood Python Guild’s headquarters… I wonder if that Blood Python Guild Leader is dead or alive.” Mo Yu Qingyan thought to himself and went back to the small building. The stronger Luo Feng was, the more full of expectation he would be.
After all, if he passes the test, he has hope of becoming a disciple.
Mo Yu Qingyan sat cross-legged inside the small building and began to carefully study the ten basic laws.
!
…
Underground grand hall, inside the Star Tower.
With a wave of his hand, Luo Feng threw out the corpses of Deputy Guild Leader Lai Mo and Guild Leader Mu Yang of the Blood Python Guild. The aura of the two huge corpses was quite terrifying.
“Two corpses?” Moro Sa’s eyes lit up.
“There was also a deputy guild leader who was a body of poisonous insects, transformed into millions of poisonous insects.” Luo Feng said, “I destroyed the millions of poisonous insects, and he was completely annihilated and disappeared. However, I suspect that he may still be alive, because this kind of poisonous insect body, if cultivated well enough, has one life per insect. But his strength is weak, so there is no need to care.”
Moro Sa nodded, his eyes burning with enthusiasm as he looked at the Blood Python Guild Leader’s corpse. “The corpses of the strong are still the best. The Blood Python Guild Leader’s bloodline is estimated to have reached the tenth level of the Eternal True God, and the bloodline he mainly cultivates is also very powerful.”
“Whatever you like.” Luo Feng nodded and went to another space in the Star Tower.
Moro Sa sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the powerful bloodline and various energies contained in the two corpses.
…
Luo Feng was alone in one of the Star Tower’s spaces.
“Let’s see how much I’ve gained this time.” Luo Feng waved his hand and took out all the spoils from his trip to the Blood Python Guild’s headquarters.
“Good heavens, how did the Blood Python Guild Leader carry so much universe sand?” Luo Feng looked at the treasures in front of him that stored universe sand, and after a brief calculation, he couldn’t help but be surprised. “Including what the two deputy guild leaders had on them, plus the bounty, the universe sand exceeds 980,000!”
This huge amount of universe sand made Luo Feng very pleasantly surprised.
“Eternal True Gods’ resources are either used for cultivation or exchanged for powerful treasures.” Luo Feng was very surprised, “It’s beyond my expectation that the Blood Python Guild Leader carried so much universe sand with him.”
“The resources for the second body refinement should be enough.” Luo Feng looked at the floating blood-colored disc next to him with joy. The blood-colored disc had a luster flowing through it, and upon careful observation, he discovered that there was a vast blood river flowing inside.
Luo Feng reached out and grabbed the blood-colored disc, and his perfect divine power penetrated into it.
Buzz~~~
After the perfect divine power poured in, it quickly refined this mechanical treasure without an owner and obtained a lot of information from it.
“Eternal True God-level individual mechanical treasure, ‘River of Life Blood’?” Luo Feng was secretly shocked. “With this mechanical treasure, one can transform the divine body into a river of blood, with almost no flaws.”
“Whether it’s protection, killing enemies, escaping, erosion, clones… this River of Life Blood has chaotic characteristics and is very powerful.”
“Judging from the value, my Killing Wu Wings are estimated to be worth about 1 million universe sand, while this ‘River of Life Blood’ is estimated to be worth about 1.5 million universe sand, even higher!” Luo Feng made a deduction.
Eternal True God-level mechanical treasures allow one to master some Chaos Realm power, which is already the best in the entire Origin Continent. The estimated value is generally between 500,000 universe sand and 5 million universe sand, with no essential difference.
Mechanical treasures worth 5 million universe sand are more like a perfect combination of several mechanical treasures!
“Buzz~~~”
With a thought, Luo Feng poured a full one percent of his divine power into the blood-colored disc. Although he had not carefully studied the mechanical treasure ‘River of Life Blood’, he could use it roughly with his perfect divine power.
“Rumble~~~” The blood-colored disc trembled.
One percent of Luo Feng’s divine power was even greater than the divine power of an Eternal True God with an ‘Infinite Divine Body’.
A river of blood was formed that would engulf everything and return everything to chaos, merging into the river of blood.
Luo Feng looked at the terrifying river of blood floating in front of him and smiled.
“Such a powerful treasure has been wasted by the Blood Python Guild Leader!” Luo Feng lamented. In terms of fighting enemies, the Killing Wu Wings were not as difficult to deal with as this ‘River of Life Blood’.
