194: Chapter 194 The Illusion of Dreams

As soon as those words were spoken, Yu Hao, who was standing nearby, also turned his head to look at Zhang Yao. "Alright, stop talking. Ye Qing isn't what you imagine him to be; his body isn't like that at all. This guy's combat power is absolutely terrifying."

"I heard that the blood pool of the Sucheng Barrier was nearly drained dry by Ye Qing. Even the dragon soul of the Black Water Flood Dragon, which King Fenghai had slain back then, was pulled out from within the mountain by Ye Qing."

"Plus, with those strange and unusual weapon spirits of his, he's simply not someone you can deal with."

Yu Hao waved his hand dismissively.

This left Zhang Yao with a look of helplessness on his Face. This Big Brother Hao was boosting others' morale while undermining their own. "Brother Hao, saying it like that gives Ye Qing way too much Face."

Oh?

"You think I'm talking nonsense? That's because you don't know the details of Ye Qing's battles."

"Back during the Battle of Weicheng at the Sucheng Barrier, after the entire fight, Ye Qing's clothes didn't even have a speck of blood on them!"

"It's safe to say that in any of his battles, he has never gone all out."

"I think that's also why the Military Department placed Ye Qing at fifth. They didn't put him there because his illustrious military achievements were inflated; rather, it's because the circumstances he's shown are so inscrutable even to the military that they could only symbolically give him the fifth Rank for now."

"However, at his current rate of growth, I'm afraid he could break into the top three."

What!

Those words...

...caused the heart of the Young Woman nearby to tremble. The top three?!

One had to know what kind of terrifying existences the top three were!

"Alright, let's not discuss the rankings anymore. This thing is just a summary of a previous stage. This ranking doesn't represent everything; in fact, if you value it too much, it will only make you stagnate."

"However, I still want to go and meet Ye Qing."

The others listening also felt their interest piqued.

"Brother Hao, you're something else. You won't let me challenge him, yet now you want to meet him yourself."

"What do you know?"

Yu Hao glanced at him. "I heard that Ye Qing is an all-rounder. Not only is his physical body powerful, but he is also quite accomplished in terms of Mental Energy."

"When Ye Qing was at the Sucheng Barrier, Marquis Ling Feng, Li Xian, apparently gave him Mental Energy training. However, he discovered a problem: Ye Qing's Mental Energy is extremely powerful, but no one knows exactly how powerful."

As he spoke, Yu Hao also looked toward the Young Woman. "I wonder if our Dreamscape Illusion can trap Ye Qing."

Dreamscape Illusion.

Hearing this name, even Yu Hao couldn't help but swallow hard.

This name belonged to Yu Hao's weapon spirit. As the name suggested, this weapon spirit specialized in Mental Energy.

An S-Rank weapon spirit that had already undergone One Ancestral Return!

It could pull people into a mental space where Yu Hao was invincible!

During battle, he could even pull an entire group of enemies into the dream!

There, he could tear their Mental Energy to shreds!

Furthermore, while a long time might pass within the dream, only an instant might pass in reality.

Therefore, Yu Hao possessed the ability to kill in an instant!

As for the strength of this Dreamscape Illusion, Zhang Yao had experienced it himself.

It could be described as incomparably domineering.

Inside the dream, he had a feeling that the Yu Hao before him was a god!

A deity that no one could contend with!

In a matter of minutes, he could tear his mind apart!

"Brother Hao, you're joking. There are very few people your Dreamscape Illusion can't trap. Right now, you should be able to trap even Marquis Realm Early-Stage experts. Those who can't be trapped are probably only the terrifying Mental Energy of those experts at the Marquis Realm Mid-Stage and above."

"Ye Qing can't do it. However, it wouldn't hurt to go take a look. Anyway, our exotic beast essence blood hasn't arrived yet."

After they finished talking, they set off toward the Jiangcheng Barrier.

Half a day later.

The Jiangcheng Barrier was already bustling with people.

Quite a few heads of families from the surrounding areas had arrived with crystal cores.

They looked at the Ore before them.

They first exchanged for a very small piece.

Then, with a thought...

Whoosh!

A surge of majestic energy rushed into their bodies.

Feeling this pure energy...

...even they wore expressions of disbelief on their Faces.

Good stuff, truly good stuff.

"I want to exchange!"

"Me too!"

"I'll take all of these."

One family head shouted, causing many people in front of him to turn around and look.

"Get lost, get lost! You think it's your turn to take them all? Go wait in line at the back!"

The family head: "..."

Nearby, Guan Fei's mouth twitched as he watched the situation.

This seemed even more terrifying than he had imagined!

This was only the beginning; the people who came were almost all family heads from the surrounding Barriers.

If the news spread and family heads from further away arrived later, Guan Fei could hardly imagine how terrifying that scene would be.

Plus, the reserves of this mineral vein were enormous.

From this, he would not only gain profit but also build a lot of connections.

In an instant, he began to feel lucky. It was a good thing he hadn't blown up when his Iron-Headed White Tiger was eaten by Ye Qing's Six-Winged Sky Tiger and had even apologized to Ye Qing. Otherwise, how could he have a share of this immense fortune?

"Hey, hey, hey, everyone, don't fight! Form a line, form a line to purchase, alright?"

Guan Fei quickly spoke up as he saw the family heads in front about to come to blows.

At the same time.

Inside the manor.

Ye Qing led the group back.

Jing Yao also came out of her room.

However, she still looked a bit tired.

"Jing Yue, where did you all go so early this morning?"

"Hehe, Older Sister, you don't know, but we did a lot of things while you were sleeping..."

Then, Jing Yue began to recount the story.

My god.

Such a huge business.

Jing Yao's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

A moment later.

The sound of knocking came from the door.

Old Master Leng personally delivered the crystal cores.

"Ye Qing, I've brought the first batch of crystal cores for you."

Everyone's eyes lit up as they looked at the crystal cores.

Although the Ranks weren't high, the sheer quantity was impressive!

"Alright, push them in."

At Ye Qing's command, Old Master Leng called people to help push the crystal cores to the location Ye Qing specified.

At the same time.

At the entrance.

Zhong Jiaxing also walked in.

"Haha, Ye Qing, you've really struck it rich."

"City Lord Zhong, you've arrived. I'm just making a small fortune."

Zhong Jiaxing: "..." You call this a small fortune? Just how big is your appetite, kid!

"Let's go to the Military Department and have dinner together tonight. City Lord Qian Tu is currently quite happy. Right now, Powerful Experts are gathering in the Jiangcheng Barrier, and many family heads even want to move from other Barriers to Jiangcheng. This move of yours has greatly strengthened the power of the Jiangcheng Barrier."

Zhong Jiaxing continued, "You can set some conditions with City Lord Qian Tu tonight, like having military members help with the mining. I think he'll readily agree."
