17: Chapter 17 Confiscating Property! The Azure Emperor's Legacy!

The next day, when Shen Yi woke up, he could no longer remember what had happened the day before!

As soon as he opened his eyes, he hurriedly put on his clothes, wanting to ask about Wang Meng's whereabouts!

He pushed open the door... and let out a yawn.

He discovered Pei Lingshu sitting in the courtyard eating breakfast...

She ate very gracefully, taking small bites.

Shen Yi grabbed a large steamed bun, intending to run out... but saw Pei Lingshu say indifferently.

"Wang Meng returned in the middle of the night yesterday!"

"Although he has some minor injuries, he is generally safe!"

"There were also no casualties!"

"As for the things they brought back, they have stored them themselves."

"He should be sleeping right now!"

Shen Yi was stunned for a moment.

He turned around and sat in a chair... then snatched the white porridge and took a big gulp.

He said indignantly.

"Miss Pei, that was really not fair. Although I wouldn't say I have the capacity of an ocean, I shouldn't have blacked out after just three or five pots!"

"That wine of yours yesterday was fierce... and my head hurts so much now!"

Pei Lingshu watched as her bowl was snatched away, stunned for a moment.

She didn't know what to think.

Then she rolled her eyes at Shen Yi and ordered Cuier to fetch another bowl.

Only then did she say unhurriedly.

"I only made a suggestion. It was your own decision, so how can you blame me!"

Shen Yi remained silent, eating the pickled vegetables and porridge in large mouthfuls.

Only then did he let out a satisfied belch.

"I expect to be quite busy these next few days... Miss Pei, I'll be going now!"

Pei Lingshu waved her hand with visible disdain.

After leaving, he wound his way through several turns until he arrived at an extremely spacious and simple residence.

The previous owner of this place was once a wealthy family in Qinghe Town.

However, when the Yao Beast attacked back then, this wealthy family didn't even want their land deed and moved their entire family into Taiping County.

Therefore, this place had been abandoned!

After converting the Dao soldiers, they needed an army camp.

Shen Yi simply used this place as an army camp, and the courtyard as a drill ground.

He even thought about moving the rakshasa statue here as well!

"My Lord!"

"My Lord!"

In the army camp, the Dao soldiers who had not followed Wang Meng to the demon lair had risen early and, under the leadership of Zhou Xian, began to eat and drill.

Shen Yi waved his hand... and looked at the several large chests in the center of the courtyard!

"Open all the chests!"

"Understood!"

Several chests filled with history slowly opened... Inside one chest, it was filled with gold, silver, and jewelry.

Surprisingly, it was the currency of the Jing Dynasty.

However, looking at their appearance, it seemed they were not the currency of this current Dynasty.

The shapes were somewhat ancient... He looked at them closely and was quite surprised.

"Copper coins from the Longwu era?"

The Longwu era could be traced back to 1,500 years ago.

In that era, the military might of the Jing Kingdom reached its peak, expanding its territory in all directions.

To celebrate the Longwu Restoration, under the orders of the Longwu Emperor of that time, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue, in conjunction with the Tianji Pavilion, jointly developed a type of knife-coin.

It was named the Longwu Knife.

This type of knife-coin required a great deal of the Jing Dynasty's Luck, so after several years of minting, production was ceased.

It subsequently became a limited edition!

The currency of every generation of the Dynasty had corresponding abilities... The currency of the Longwu Dynasty naturally carried 'Martial Dao Suppression'.

It was often used by people to refine weapons, Magical Artifacts, and so on...

For example, the Daoist sect's Jinjing Mountain was said to have been refined from the annual tributes of the Jing Dynasty; on the left and right of the mountain gate, Daoist sages carved: 'The heavens are vast and mighty, my Dao thrives day by day.'

The Luck was prosperous, and talent abounded!

Shen Yi looked at the knife-coin in his hand... He counted carefully, there were about thirty-six of them.

These thirty-six pieces... could be used as ordinary copper coins.

But that would be too wasteful...

When he had time to go to Taiping County, he would ask Wang Teng if he knew any collectors, or perhaps a Cultivator of the immortal path!

Shen Yi nodded and continued to look at the other sides.

Some official porcelain from the previous Dynasty... These things had collector's value, but were otherwise unremarkable.

After that, there were some antique paintings and calligraphy, some of which were worn and old...

Shen Yi felt somewhat helpless.

"You're already cultivating immortality, why bother with collections? If you were collecting some Cultivation Technique or Magical Artifact, that would be one thing... but what the hell is the point of collecting this stuff?"

"Forget it... I'll see if there's any way to trade it out!"

Then Shen Yi looked towards another chest.

Inside the chest was a huge, honeycomb-shaped piece of Ore!

He looked at it... and then his breathing began to quicken!

[Hundred-Refined Materials?]

Mineral deposits differ depending on where they are unearthed, and their quality varies greatly... As mentioned earlier, those from the Northern Frontier and Southern Frontier are the best.

As for the Sanchuan Sand Sea, it is the most inferior...

Ordinary Ore from the Northern Frontier and Southern Frontier can be used to forge Ten-Refined weapons...

And above that, there are Hundred-Refined, Thousand-Refined... At this point, it is already approaching the limit of mortal weapons.

If one wants to improve further... one needs Ore Materials that are spiritual and Qi-infused.

Weapons forged from this kind of Material can communicate with the master's mind.

They carry different characteristics.

They are known as [Hundred-Refined Divine Weapons].

And such a large piece of Hundred-Refined Material is worth at least three or four thousand copper coins!

Yes, that's the sum of those three thousand catties of Materials!

Seeing this, Shen Yi hurriedly called Wang Meng over.

Wang Meng was bleary-eyed, but upon seeing this large stone... he answered while muttering.

"My Lord... we first killed all the lesser demons in the demon lair, and then went deep inside..."

"Suddenly, there was a tremor from the earth Dragon, and we saw a teleportation array open."

"Then... this thing fell out from the teleportation array!"

"Then the sand sea was still flowing, and it seemed like the earth veins were beginning to shift... so we could only hurriedly bring everything back in a rush!"

"And then..."

"Then the ruins went silent."

Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, feeling a bit regretful.

"It seems... this ruin also has a time limit."

"No wonder, no wonder that snake demon dared to be so unscrupulous before. It turns out it could escape at any time."

"That's why it was so rampant!"

Shen Yi waved his hand and continued to open the other chests.

Among them was some snake slough with a sour, rotten smell... This kind of thing could actually be sold to a pharmacy and was still worth something!

Then there were some Yao Beast skeletons... not very valuable.

However, these few chests were already enough to be worth the price of admission; the Hundred-Refined Material, the thirty-six knife-coins, the jewelry, plus the Materials.

The return rate of this demon lair reached nearly five thousand copper coins.

Of course, the Yao Beast flesh and blood could also be utilized, but Shen Yi had to hand it over to the Dynasty, otherwise it would be difficult to convert it into political achievements.

That would be a loss.

But no matter how you looked at it, he had made a huge profit!

Shen Yi casually opened the last chest... his breathing suddenly quickened!

"This is..."
