Chapter 100

Let's take stock of the wealth we obtained from Da Zhong this time; it can be said that we have reaped a bountiful harvest.

First, the 5,000 gold worth of goods captured from Qianzhu and others were divided equally among the three elders and the three young ones. Apart from a small portion of gold and copper coins that Huang Zhong had sent in advance to the Huaomai family, the rest of the treasures, including jade ornaments and other items, were divided. The set of three talismans—Gangmou, Wengzhong, and Sinan—went to Shi Huang, the four spirit jade discs—Qinglong, Baihu, Zhuque, and Xuanwu—went to Huang Zhong, and Tan Yu took the jade sword given by Wang Yue. The other eight treasures were still in Zhang Ren's bag.

Most of these people are rather straightforward and lazy, finding it troublesome. Shi Huang and Huang Zhong took the jade sets because they needed to exchange for certain treasures at the auction, feeling more confident this way. The others ignored the items they didn't need immediately.

Second, the 5,000 gold worth of goods obtained from defeating Zhong's army included 700 gold ingots, 3,000 strings of copper coins, and 14 treasures.

Xizhi Cai, being very perceptive, knew that these people disliked carrying so many copper coins, so he voluntarily chose two treasures and 2,000 strings of copper coins as his share. This move greatly relieved everyone, and they were deeply moved by his understanding. The remaining 1,000 strings of copper coins were quickly divided by Zheng Bao, Zhang Duo, and Xu Qian, who used them as severance pay for their subordinates, putting the money to good use. After generously rewarding and dismissing most of their subordinates, the three returned and each took 200 gold, firmly deciding to exit the distribution. Each of the three parties received less than 300 gold, but no one felt cheated.

Thus, of the 5,000 gold worth of treasures, only 2,000 gold were actually distributed. Although only 100 gold ingots were left, 12 out of the 14 treasures remained.

The 100 gold ingots were divided among the three elders and Tan Yu and Zhang Ren, with each person getting 20 ingots for pocket money.

However, the 12 remaining treasures were not as small and easy to store and transport as the earlier jade ornaments. They included large golden lamps, jade oxen, and jade horse heads, which were grand and exquisite but difficult to privately store. After discussing, the three elders and Tan Yu decided to have the tireless and strong Huang Zhong publicly store them.

Of course, with four large carts and seven or eight free lake bandit security guards, Zhang Ren, as the temporary supervisor, also went to the Huaomai family's treasure storage point in Yunmu Town. This caused a sensation and drew a crowd. After all, successfully robbing the Da Zhong Empire's treasures and defeating a Transcendent Master and two peak Hidden Realm experts from Huainan, this glorious feat had been widely spread, with many remarkable and jaw-dropping details.

So many social engagements left Zhang Ren exhausted, and he returned to sleep immediately.

Of course, while Zhang Ren was busy with social engagements, Tan Yu was not idle.

He first went to Yunmu Town with Wang Yue to formally meet his uncle, Tan Sanzhuan, and, of course, transported the bodies of the fallen Xiongxi clan warriors.

Even without Tan Sanzhuan's request, Tan Yu would have done this, as they were his kinsmen, and he did not want them to be left unburied in the wilderness.

The treasure convoy's 15 remaining intact large carts were all used to transport the bodies, covered with straw and incense to mask the overwhelming stench of blood.

Including Deng Qianwan, 327 bodies were not left behind.

Tan Sanzhuan was extremely envious of the rich spoils obtained by Wang Yue and Tan Yu's "treasure-hunting" team, but he was even more deeply moved by their act of transporting the bodies of the Wuxi savages.

He personally led the leaders of the various streams to welcome them five miles out.

Deng's wife and Zeng Yinyin were moved to tears, unable to express their gratitude in words; Sheng Chang and Tang Nanzhu changed their attitude towards Tan Yu, becoming extremely friendly; and Shamo Ke even wanted to form a brotherhood with Tan Yu, until Zeng Xiaodie told him that if he did, he would have to call Tan Sanzhuan his uncle, which made him reluctantly give up.

Thus, in the territory of the Wuling savages, everyone drank mountain rice wine and ate large pieces of mutton, enjoying themselves thoroughly. All previous grievances and unpleasantness were forgotten, and no one mentioned them.

In short, it was a united banquet! A practical banquet! A victorious banquet!

In the evening, leaving all the large carts behind, Tan Yu and Wang Yue, slightly tipsy, returned to Shenmu Town. After meeting with Shi Huang, they visited the famous Nanyang doctor Zhang Ji, who was temporarily staying in the town to attend the auction.

Zhang Ji, also known as Zhang Zhongjing, was the foremost of the Three Divine Doctors of Jian'an, as famous as Hua Tuo. He and Wang Yue were old friends with a close relationship.

In the several sickrooms next to his residence, Tan Yu saw Xu Shu (Xu Yuanzhi), whose wounds were mostly healed; Jin Wei, who was both physically and mentally broken; and Yun Er and Da Zhong's strongbow general Ji Hu, who had just been brought in.

Because he had obtained another ancient manual of a famous scholar, Zhang Ji was busy with his medical research and improvement, and only his disciples were busy with the patients' care after the initial diagnosis.

Tan Yu warmly inquired about Xu Shu and Yun Er's injuries and, with a sense of responsibility, visited Jin Wei and Ji Hu.

The good news was that Xu Shu's injuries were healing quickly, and he could already walk; the bad news was that Jin Wei had gone mad, muttering incomprehensible words, such as "I rely on the wall, toothless, and saliva flows down."

Well, for Tan Yu, these were actually good news.

As for Yun Er and Ji Hu, although they were injured by a Transcendent Master, their injuries were more severe and required more complicated treatment.

Before leaving, Xu Shu proposed that he hoped to visit the auction with Tan Yu the next day, and Tan Yu happily agreed.

He already knew that his Mingyu Token could bring three companions into the main hall of the auction.

Returning to the Shenmu Inn in Shenmu Town, Huang Zhong also arrived. After settling down and discussing the aftermath, it was already late at night.

Bao Zhuang's steward, Wen Zou, who had been left in the town, had been living in constant fear and anxiety. Only after seeing Tan Yu and Zhang Ren did he finally feel relieved.

When he mentioned that nearly 300 new people had moved into Shenmu Town, filling not only the inns but also the homes of ordinary residents, with a thatched cottage renting for 10 strings of copper coins a day, Tan Yu was also surprised and shook his head.

The influence of the Shennong Auction was truly immense.

Wen Zou, an ordinary steward who did not practice martial arts, naturally did not know that these 300 new guests were mostly warriors and merchants who had rushed from all over upon hearing the news of the Shennong Auction.

Those who could obtain the news of the auction naturally had their own special channels. However, most of these people would not be able to enter the main hall of the auction and become guests of the Huaomai family.

Because the Green Bamboo Token of the auction was only given to experts at the Hidden Realm level and above.

Therefore, Tan Yu speculated that the three towns of Shennong would be incredibly bustling in the coming days.

He hurriedly gave Wen Zou a basic introduction to the Shennong Auction. Wen Zou suddenly understood: "So that's how it is. In that case, even if they can't enter the main hall of the auction, they can still trade with each other within the three towns, getting what they need?"

"Yes. Wen Brother, this time we came south unprepared and lack many supplies. Don't miss the opportunity; you can go around more often." Tan Yu was pleased with Wen Zou's intelligence and gave him 10 of his 20 gold ingots. "If you see something you want unexpectedly, and I'm not around, you can find Xu Gao from the Xu family; he's also staying at this inn."

Xu Gao was Xu Deng's tall servant, who, though a servant, had reached the peak of the Manifest Realm. He was responsible for maintaining order in Shenmu Town and had met with Tan Yu in the evening to discuss some matters.

Wen Zou clapped his hands: "Great! With this auction, our days in the south will be much better. Don't worry, Master Tan!"

After instructing Wen Zou on what to pay attention to the next day, Wen Zou left excitedly.

Tan Yu sat cross-legged and practiced the Half-Step Breathing Technique for half an hour, instantly feeling refreshed, then lay down.

Zhang Ren, who was sharing the bed, was already sound asleep, kicking restlessly in his dreams, as if engaged in a fierce battle with someone.

But Tan Yu's mind was clear, and he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Perhaps it was because of the many thrilling events of the day, his brain was too excited!

After a while, Tan Yu simply sat up again and quietly meditated.

Suddenly, a voice whispered in his ear.

"Tan Yu, come out, Lan'er has something to ask you!"

Tan Yu was greatly surprised: "Zhang Jin?"

The voice and tone belonged to Stick King Zhang Jin.
