When Zhang Fan and his party returned to the Southern Barren Domain, Xiao Yi and Mo Yan had already returned. Together with King Yu, they stood with thousands of disciples from the Six Kings' Estate in front of the tall city gates of Six Kings City, awaiting their arrival.
"Congratulations, elder brother, on your triumphant return. After this battle, the structure of the Boundless Continent has been completely reshaped. From now on, the Flying Immortal Mansion and the Black Sand Cave Heaven will become mere history, and that Day Shadow Cave Heaven has also fallen to the ranks of the third-rate, not worth mentioning."
"Haha, this matter is indeed worth celebrating." Even with Ling Xiu's composure, he couldn't help but laugh heartily. Looking at the dense crowd of Six Kings' Estate disciples, he had never felt so happy. "Let's go, back to Panlong Mountain!"
The group of several thousand people flew majestically towards Panlong Mountain. The Six Kings City below had entered a phase of reconstruction. The speed at which cultivators built cities was extremely rapid. Even a super city like the Six Kings' Estate, with the concerted efforts of a large number of cultivators working day and night, had more than half of its construction completed in less than ten days.
In the vast hall of the Six Kings' Estate, Zhang Fan and Ling Xiu took their seats at the upper end, with a group of Nascent Soul stage cultivators below, regardless of rank.
All cultivators who had reached the Nascent Soul stage were invited to the great hall, numbering over a thousand people, a true celebration for the entire sect.
"Everyone," Zhang Fan stood up and addressed the many cultivators below, "I once promised you that I would refine a batch of Immortal-grade spiritual pills and bestow upon you a grand fortune!"
As he spoke, Zhang Fan waved his hand, and dozens of Immortal-grade Blood Spiritual Pills floated before him. Each pill was perfectly round, and even though Zhang Fan had sealed the pill spirit within, it could not entirely suppress the rich immortal spiritual energy from diffusing outwards.
For the cultivators of the Six Kings' Estate, who primarily focused on body refinement, the allure of Immortal-grade Blood Spiritual Pills was undoubtedly fatal. Looking at the pile of Immortal-grade Blood Spiritual Pills before Zhang Fan, every Nascent Soul stage cultivator below had a fervent gleam in their eyes. Even Ling Xiu, standing beside Zhang Fan, could no longer contain his excitement, staring intently at each Immortal-grade pill.
"Now is the time for me to fulfill my promise!" Zhang Fan waved his hand, and the Immortal-grade Blood Spiritual Pills drifted downwards, landing in the hands of the numerous cultivators. Many held the pills, feeling an incredible sense of unreality, as if in a dream.
After all, in the history of the Wu Mountain Star Domain, Immortal-grade spiritual pills had never appeared. And for them, with their cultivation, to obtain one was something they dared not even dream of.
Of course, those who received Immortal-grade Blood Spiritual Pills were at least at the Seven Tribulations realm. Otherwise, with the number of pills Zhang Fan had refined, even if they were split in half, it wouldn't be enough to distribute.
"To the Six Kings, this is your share!" Zhang Fan presented the Immortal-grade Blood Spiritual Pills to the Six Kings, each of whom received two pills.
Afterward, Zhang Fan took out six more Immortal-grade Blood Spiritual Pills and handed them to Ling Xiu. This caused Ling Xiu to ask in confusion, "Brother Zhang Fan, what is this?"
"Those three seniors followed us all the way. Although they didn't make a move, we can't let them come all this way for nothing," Zhang Fan said with a smile.
Ling Xiu was startled inwardly, then showed a wry smile. "Brother Zhang Fan, your divine soul power is truly admirable. Although I knew a few seniors from the estate had been secretly following, I couldn't sense them. I never expected Brother Zhang Fan to have perceived them long ago."
"I will thank you on behalf of the three seniors."
Zhang Fan waved his hand and took out two more storage rings. "Besides this batch of Immortal-grade Blood Spiritual Pills, the accumulated wealth of those three factions over hundreds of thousands of years is not a small amount."
"I have divided it into three portions. Brother Liu Mu and I will take thirty percent, and the remaining forty percent will go to the Six Kings' Estate."
"Brother Zhang Fan, absolutely not!" Ling Xiu heard this and repeatedly declined.
When Xiao Yi and Mo Yan handed over the treasures from the Flying Immortal Mansion and the Black Sand Cave Heaven to Ling Xiu, he had directly transferred them to Zhang Fan for distribution. But he had not expected that the final distribution would result in the Six Kings' Estate receiving the largest share.
Liu Mu also declined, "Brother Zhang Fan, you were the main force in this battle. Giving me so much makes me feel uncomfortable holding it."
No one would reject more treasures, but that was on the premise of obtaining them through their own strength. Zhang Fan giving it so generously made Liu Mu and Ling Xiu feel undeserving.
Ling Xiu also nodded. The vast number of Immortal-grade Blood Spiritual Pills Zhang Fan had bestowed upon the Six Kings' Estate was already immeasurable. Even if Zhang Fan had not given them any, he believed no one in the entire Six Kings' Estate would have any complaints.
"To be honest, although the wealth accumulated by these three factions is indeed considerable, for me now, it is completely insignificant. You don't need to feel uncomfortable. Consider it a gesture of friendship from one friend to another," Zhang Fan said calmly. His cultivation had already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. The next step was to cultivate the Sword Dao rules and the Lightning Dao rules to perfection, then merge the rules and divine soul to enter the Half-step Nascent Soul stage.
At the Half-step Nascent Soul stage, ordinary cultivation resources played a minimal role.
Liu Mu and Ling Xiu were not overly sentimental. Upon hearing Zhang Fan's words, they accepted the gifts with ease.
After Zhang Fan distributed the Immortal-grade Blood Spiritual Pills, the atmosphere at the banquet became even more lively. For the Six Kings' Estate, it was indeed a day of double happiness.
After destroying the Flying Immortal Mansion and the Black Sand Cave Heaven, the vast number of life planets they managed naturally fell under the control of the Six Kings' Estate, marking a transformative expansion for the estate.
Simultaneously, every cultivator in the Six Kings' Estate above the Seven Tribulations realm received an Immortal-grade Blood Spiritual Pill. In the coming period, the strength of the top experts in the Six Kings' Estate would experience a significant boost.
It was certain that in the future, the overall strength of the Six Kings' Estate would comprehensively surpass that of the True Fire Cave Heaven, and perhaps even rival that of the Azure Sea Palace.
The banquet lasted for an entire day, with hosts and guests enjoying themselves thoroughly. After the banquet dispersed, Zhang Fan gave some instructions to Ling Xiu before returning with Lin Haotian and the others to their own mountain peak.
"Master, where is my Immortal-grade Blood Spiritual Pill?" As soon as they entered the Golden Light Immortal Abode, the Blood Demon Flood Dragon eagerly circled Zhang Fan, demanding its pill.
Seeing the expectant eyes of everyone, Zhang Fan did not keep them in suspense. He took out five jade bottles from his storage magical treasure and tossed them to each of them.
"There are five pills?"
Lin Haotian and the others had not expected that their master would bestow so many. After all, they had personally witnessed that even Ling Xiu, the Lord of the Six Kings' Estate and a Half-step Nascent Soul expert, had only been gifted two pills by their master.
They finally understood why their master had not bestowed pills upon them in the grand hall. After all, such a significant disparity could easily create a sense of imbalance.
As the ancients said, "It is not poverty that is feared, but inequality." This was the very principle.
"You're a loyal friend, kid. Brotherhood is in the heart. I won't say too many thanks. I'm going into seclusion to cultivate." Liu Mu punched Zhang Fan's chest hard, a wide smile on his face.
"It smells so good!" The Blood Demon Flood Dragon held the Immortal-grade Blood Spiritual Pill, sniffing it repeatedly, before finally succumbing to temptation and swallowing it in one gulp.
*Boom!*
The Blood Demon Flood Dragon, which had transformed into human form, under the powerful medicinal effect of the Immortal-grade Blood Spiritual Pill, its body rapidly expanded, directly reverting to its original form. A blood demon flood dragon hundreds of zhang long spanned across the Golden Light Immortal Abode, almost filling the entire space on the first floor.
Zhang Fan sighed, grabbed the Blood Demon Flood Dragon by its tail, and unceremoniously threw it out.
