Lu Zheng and the others stood in a large cabin with many drawers in which spatial rings were lined in.
The spatial rings shined with bright lights of various colours. They appeared tempting to the eyes.
Lu Zheng picked one up and used a drop of his blood to refine it before sending his psyche into it.
Just like the spatial rings in the vital stone mine, it contained a large amount of vital stones.
Just that one spatial ring had over seventy thousand vital stones.
There were still over thirty spatial rings left.
The rest watched Lu Zheng as he moved from one spatial ring to another, scanning their contents.
Each time his psyche entered a spatial ring, a bright smile would be plastered on his face.
The others could tell that the spatial rings contained many treasures.
After checking the last spatial ring, Lu Zheng dropped it and turned to face the others.
"The spatial rings contain vital stones, artifacts and cultivation materials" Lu Zheng smiled.
"There are exactly one million, seven hundred and thirty two thousand, twenty five vital stones"
The group exhaled deeply after hearing such an amount.
In all their lives, they had never heard of such an amount.
"The artifacts are very numerous with the worst at rank three Simple Grade and the best at rank four Profound Grade" Lu Zheng continued. "The artifacts are mostly weapons for fighting though with swords and spears being the most common"
"Is there any artifact like my Moon Shine Ribbon?" Shu Mingling asked.
"Hmm" Lu Zheng nodded.
Shu Mingling had a cool smile of relief after hearing that.
His Moon Shine Ribbon was a rank five Simple Grade artifact that was refined especially for him. As a result, he feared that it would be rare to find such an artifact again.
"As for the cultivation materials, they are all at least rank two" Lu Zheng said.
"How are we going to share it?" Hong Haoyu asked the question that was labouring on everyone's mind.
"We'll share it equally" Lu Zheng replied calmly.
"Equally?!" Everyone was stunned.
They didn't expect that Lu Zheng would want to share the treasures equally. They thought he would share it based on how everyone contributed to their escape which would place he and Hong Haoyu at the top.
"Yes" Lu Zheng smiled.
Hong Haoyu nodded with a smile. He was beginning to understand the type of person Lu Zheng was.
He certainly wasn't greedy.
The group then proceeded to share the vital stones and other materials amongst themselves. Due to the sheer quantity of the materials, everyone walked away with at least three spatial rings.
The spatial rings that were worth cities had become common place to them.
..…
Lu Zheng sat in a cabin as he stared at the spatial rings before him. Including the ones from the vital stone mine, he had seven spatial rings at the moment.
The spatial rings were all filled to the brim with various materials.
"Let's start with this" Lu Zheng thought as he picked up one spatial ring and willed out an artifact.
The artifact was a sword with a crimson hilt. Many patterns were etched at the dull surface of the sword.
With a glance, Lu Zheng could tell that this was a rank three Profound Grade artifact.
It was a single rank higher than the sword Lu Shantian had gifted him and was the best sword among the pirate loot.
It was definitely a good artifact to seal Mei Luan's soul in.
"Come out" Lu Zheng called into the depths of his physical body and within a breath's time, Mei Luan's soul appeared before him.
There was no need for words as she immediately delved into the sword.
Without hesitation, Lu Zheng began inscribing the spirit veins required to seal a soul in an artifact partially.
The spirit veins would also overlap the spirit veins that were originally in the sword.
The slightest of mistakes in the inscription would destroy the sword even if its physical form remained the same.
He had to focus completely on the inscription.
