85: Chapter 85 A Great Harvest

"Alright, let's go check the place next door." Supreme Elder Ye Rongsong rummaged through the toppled bricks and stones once more, but finding nothing of value, he followed Ye Yisong's suggestion and prepared to check the two palaces next door.

Before leaving, he collected the corpse of the Flower Snake's derivative beast; this was a quasi-Grade 4 Demonic Beast corpse, a gift Ye Yisong had specifically reserved for Supreme Elder Ye Rongsong.

The two arrived at Black Head's palace. This palace had not been affected by the battle and was very well preserved. The two quickly discovered a secret chamber beneath Black Head's bed, which was protected by a small door engraved with a Formation.

With Supreme Elder Ye Rongsong present, the small door was easily opened. Ye Yisong's Face twitched; the Grand Elder's strength was truly formidable—he had kicked the door to pieces with a single strike. Ye Yisong then followed Supreme Elder Ye Rongsong down into the basement.

The two were stunned by the scene before them!

First, they saw a massive mountain of Spirit Stones, estimated to be around seven or eight hundred thousand. Beside it were two smaller piles of Spirit Medicine, which were likely the cultivation resources for the Grade 4 Demonic Beast of this palace. Many Yao Beasts Cultivate by consuming vast amounts of Heaven And Earth Treasure, followed by long periods of sleep to digest and absorb the energy from the Spirit Medicine and Spirit Stones to achieve a Breakthrough.

Looking at the small mountain of Spirit Medicine before him, Ye Yisong's pores opened up, and he was in a state of extreme excitement. He recognized seven or eight types of Grade 4 Spirit Medicine recorded in the "Great Wei Spirit Plant Compendium," such as Snow Chestnut, Golden Marrow Fruit, Ice Soul Grass, Phantom Dream Moss, Withered Prosperity Ginseng, Heart-Lock Vine, and Blood-Coagulating Thorn.

There were countless others he did not recognize. At a first glance, judging by the Spiritual Qi concentration of the Spirit Medicine, there were as many as fifty or sixty Grade 4 Spirit Medicines, and even two or three hundred Grade 3 Spirit Medicines. This collection was worth at least six or seven hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

Adding the mountain of Spirit Stones nearby, the value already reached over one million Spirit Stones. When had Ye Yisong ever possessed such wealth? His father, Ye Jiesheng, had said he would provide him with three hundred thousand Spirit Stones at the end of the year. He didn't need to wait until the end of the year; Ye Yisong could give it to him right now, and even much more!

Supreme Elder Ye Rongsong had lived for over two hundred years, and aside from the Family treasury, he had never seen so many Spirit Stones at once. He was also shocked by the scene before him. Fortunately, he had listened to Ye Yisong's suggestion; otherwise, how many resources would have been missed?

Besides the Spirit Stone mountain and the Spirit Medicine piles, there was a small heap of Materials for Artifact Refining. The only Grade 4 Ore was three pieces of Frost Silver Ore the size of an arm, which could be used to forge a few Grade 4 precious swords. The rest were just worthless Grade 2 and Grade 3 Ores. It seemed this Yao Beast did not like collecting Ore.

There were also a few Storage Pouches belonging to humans, likely left behind by Martial Artists who had been killed by the Yao Beast.

"Kid, how should we distribute this?" Supreme Elder Ye Rongsong looked at the vast wealth before them, passing the difficult question to Ye Yisong, also intending to test him.

Ye Yisong pondered for a moment and proposed a daring plan: "Grand Elder, according to the Family rules, these resources, such as the Spirit Stones and Spirit Medicine, should be split equally between you and me."

"However, this junior has a bold proposal. I wonder if the Grand Elder would agree?"

"Oh? Let's hear it." Supreme Elder Ye Rongsong stroked his beard, quietly watching this outstanding junior.

"I would like to share the treasures of the palaces with you, one for each of us. The treasures of this palace will all belong to you, and the treasures of the palace next door will all belong to me. Do you agree?" Ye Yisong proposed a bold idea, one that was also a guaranteed win. The Spiritual Qi cluster on the map in his mind clearly showed that the resources in the palace next door were even more abundant than these, though not by a significant margin.

"Interesting. If the palace next door is empty, would you still be willing?" Supreme Elder Ye Rongsong looked at the kid with amusement, as if he had returned to his own youth—a life of gambling.

"This junior is willing, and I will not regret it," Ye Yisong answered firmly.

"Hahaha, good, then it shall be as you say." Supreme Elder Ye Rongsong laughed heartily. He appreciated Ye Yisong even more now; he had courage, ideas, and combined with his talent, he would have great achievements in the future.

Thinking about what had happened over the past few days, this kid was truly a little lucky star. First, he turned a misfortune into a blessing by providing important information that helped the Family capture a Tier 4 Flood Dragon. Later, he himself had obtained a large amount of cultivation resources because of his suggestion.

Thinking of those good-for-nothings in the Family, they would be a bit better off with these resources. He was over two hundred years old, and he still had to worry about his descendants. Sigh!

Supreme Elder Ye Rongsong gathered all the Spirit Stones, Spirit Medicine, and Ore in the secret chamber. After a moment of thought, he pushed all the remaining Storage Pouches toward Ye Yisong: "You take these. Go back and see if there are any surprises inside. Consider it a small gift from this old man to a junior upon our first meeting."

"Many thanks, Grand Elder." Ye Yisong did not decline and accepted them naturally. He knew that Supreme Elder Ye Rongsong was worried that if there was nothing in the palace next door, it would crush Ye Yisong's confidence and affect his future path of Cultivation.

The two arrived at Green Head's palace and carefully searched every corner, but they simply could not find any secret chamber where things might be hidden.

Supreme Elder Ye Rongsong rubbed his nose in embarrassment. Looking at the dumbfounded Ye Yisong, he couldn't bear it and said: "How about this old man shares some Spirit Stones with you?"

"Grand Elder, there is no need. This junior can afford to lose." Ye Yisong refused.

"That's impossible! 798 Navigation System clearly shows that there is a large Spiritual Qi cluster in this palace, and it's not much smaller than the one next door. Why can't I find it?" Ye Yisong thought to himself.

Ye Yisong closed his eyes and tried to zoom in on the map. As he expected, the map zoomed in several times, and he quickly found two figures on the map—it should be himself and the Grand Elder.

Ye Yisong opened his eyes and imprinted the scene inside the palace into his mind. After determining his location and comparing it with the position of the Spiritual Qi cluster on the map, he quickly and accurately found the place where the Yao Beast had hidden its treasures.

"I've already activated the map hack, and I still came back empty-handed? Even if I don't care about my Face, the great 798 Navigation System needs Face!" Ye Yisong grumbled to himself.

He walked over to a carpet with a sea turtle painted on it. Ye Yisong verified the treasure location in his mind once again. After confirming it was correct, he cupped his hands to Supreme Elder Ye Rongsong and said: "Please, Grand Elder, break open the foundation here for me."

Watching this kid muttering and poking around, it was clear he was unwilling to leave empty-handed. Very well, he would treat it as encouraging a junior. Supreme Elder Ye Rongsong punched the carpet, but to his surprise, he only knocked off a few fragments; he hadn't broken through the foundation at all.

Supreme Elder Ye Rongsong's old Face flushed red; he had overplayed his hand. No longer putting on airs, he summoned his precious sword. A cyan sword shadow struck the foundation, and this time, it finally broke through the foundation beneath the sea turtle.

The kid had actually found it!

Another mountain of Spirit Stones came into view, with even more than what Supreme Elder Ye Rongsong had just collected. However, there was only one small mountain of Spirit Medicine beside it, yet it was more precious than the two piles from before.

Most of the Spirit Medicine in the pile were Grade 4, totaling over ninety stalks, while there were fewer Grade 3 Spirit Medicines. The key was the efficacy of these Spirit Medicines; they were basically used for breaking through Bottlenecks, which was especially rare!

"You kid really have deep fortune!" Supreme Elder Ye Rongsong looked at the mountain of Spirit Stones, the pile of Spirit Medicine, the precious Ore, and the small number of Storage Pouches inside, and exclaimed with genuine admiration.

"Pack everything up, we are heading back. The others must be getting impatient waiting."
