86: Chapter 86 The Ancestor Returns

Ye Yisong quickly packed the treasures beneath the foundation into his Storage Pouch, letting out joyful laughter as he did so.

After Ye Rongsong urged him on once, he waited quietly to the side, watching as Ye Yisong would grab a handful of Spirit Stones to kiss, and then pick up a stalk of Spirit Medicine to kiss.

"Being young is truly wonderful!" Ye Rongsong sighed.

Even with his waist hung full of Storage Pouches, Ye Yisong still hadn't finished packing away the treasures under the foundation.

Just as he was looking distressed, not knowing what to do, Ye Rongsong thoughtfully handed him a Storage Pouch.

After thanking the Grand Elder, Ye Yisong repeated his previous actions and resumed packing the treasures.

It wasn't until Ye Rongsong handed him another Storage Pouch that Ye Yisong finally finished packing everything away.

This was mainly because some of the Spirit Medicine and Ore were too large in volume, taking up a lot of space.

The Spirit Stones looked like a lot, but Ye Yisong managed to fit them all into a single ten-cubic-meter Storage Pouch.

"Hahaha!" Seeing Ye Yisong looking like a country bumpkin rich man, Ye Rongsong was amused to the point of laughter.

"Hehehe." Ye Yisong didn't mind and just chuckled along foolishly.

The many Storage Pouches on his body weren't all filled with the treasures from this time; many were newly acquired from the two palaces.

Ye Yisong didn't have time to check them one by one for the moment, so he tied them all to his waist, which made his appearance look truly ridiculous.

In contrast, Ye Rongsong was traveling light, with only five Storage Pouches hanging from his waist, one of which he already had originally.

"Let's go!" As he spoke, Ye Rongsong summoned his precious sword and flew with Ye Yisong towards the Ye Family ancestral residence in Shuinan County.

"How did it go?" Seeing Ye Yisong return, Ye Xiaowu asked impatiently.

The three of them had been waiting anxiously at the ancestral residence for half a day.

"We caught it." Ye Yisong saw that Ye Jiesheng and Clan Leader Ye Tuanhui were also looking at him nervously, so he didn't play coy and stated the result directly.

"Good!"

"Heaven bless my Family!"

Just as they were immersed in the joy of capturing the Tier 4 Flood Dragon, Ye Yisong shared another piece of good news: "We also captured four Tier 4 Sea Yao Beasts and one Tier 3 Sea Shell at the same time."

"Buy one get four free, this Flood Dragon is actually quite generous," Ye Xiaowu said with a chuckle.

He clearly ignored the Tier 3 Sea Shell, not knowing that it was precisely this Tier 3 Sea Shell that would bring everyone an even bigger surprise.

"Where is the Old Ancestor? Did he go straight back to Luomu Mountain?" Ye Jiesheng asked.

"Oh, the Old Ancestor went out to the Outer Sea to capture another Flood Dragon," Ye Yisong said nonchalantly, looking relaxed.

The Old Ancestor's strength was beyond question.

"What, the Old Ancestor went to the Outer Sea?" Ye Jiesheng said with concern.

The Outer Sea might seem to pose no danger to a Martial King, but it was actually full of hidden mysteries, and 5th Rank Demon Beasts from the Inner Sea often appeared there.

"There's another Flood Dragon?" Ye Xiaowu had heard another piece of important news.

Ye Jiesheng and Patriarch Ye Tuanzhang also reacted, looking at Ye Yisong in confusion, waiting for his explanation.

Didn't he just say they caught that Tier 4 Flood Dragon?

How did another Flood Dragon pop up?

Ye Yisong vividly recounted the entire process of capturing the Flood Dragon that he had just experienced with the Old Ancestor to Ye Jiesheng and the other two.

When he spoke of how Ancestor Ye Rongming captured that Flood Dragon and the five Yao Beasts with just one hand, Ye Xiaowu immediately said "Good" three times in a row.

Even Patriarch Ye Tuanzhang, usually a very serious old man, was beaming with joy.

When Ye Yisong later mentioned that the Old Ancestors of the Wei Family and Wang Family had followed them, the three men's hearts all tightened.

On the surface, these two families were on good terms with the Ye Family, but in reality, they often secretly tripped the Ye Family up, especially when auctioning the Tier 4 barrier-breaking pill, where they would always artificially inflate the price.

They also always coveted the Ye Family's 4th Grade Talisman Technique, constantly finding various excuses to probe secretly; it was extremely shameless!

Since their Old Ancestors witnessed the Ye Family capturing the Dragon with their own eyes, it would be inevitable to share a portion of the Flood Dragon meat with the Wei and Wang families, and it would definitely not be a small amount.

Otherwise, the Wei and Wang families would certainly engage in underhanded tactics.

The three of them hadn't even finished worrying about the hard-earned Flood Dragon meat being partially taken away by the Wei and Wang families when they heard Ye Yisong say that, through the black Flood Dragon's transmission talisman and that Tier 3 Sea Shell, the Old Ancestor had preliminarily guessed there was another Flood Dragon among the Conch Clan in the Outer Sea.

Consequently, the Old Ancestor went with the Old Ancestors of the Wei and Wang families to the Outer Sea to hunt the other Flood Dragon.

The three looked at Ye Yisong with strange expressions, especially Ye Xiaowu, who even specifically circled around Ye Yisong, as if admiring some rare animal.

"You kid are a lucky star! You can even run into two Tier 4 Flood Dragons, which are rarely seen in a hundred years. One day, you won't bring back a True Dragon, will you?"

"It's only suspected that there's another Flood Dragon; it's not confirmed yet!" Ye Yisong corrected.

However, everyone knew clearly that the Old Ancestor and the others had likely found it.

The fact that there had been no news for so long was actually good news.

Ye Jiesheng also set aside his worries slightly.

The Old Ancestor and the other two went to sea together to capture the Dragon; even if they didn't succeed, returning safely would not be a problem.

Hopefully, the Old Ancestor and the others would succeed.

Then the Ye Family would solely possess one Flood Dragon.

If they utilized this Tier 4 Flood Dragon well, the Ye Family could develop in peace for a hundred years, and might not be much worse off than the Wang Family.

The behemoth that was the Wei Family was truly incomparable; besides Ancestor Wei Xinghe, there was still a high mountain pressing down on top of them!

"What's the deal with the Storage Pouches on you?"

Ye Jiesheng finally had time to ask the second thing he was concerned about.

Seeing the circle of Storage Pouches around this kid's waist, it looked like he had made a fortune!

"Hehehe, thanks to you, Father, I picked them up in the Weishui River," Ye Yisong said, beaming with excitement, looking like he had indeed struck it rich.

"Oh, how is it thanks to me?" Ye Jiesheng asked, puzzled.

"After Father killed the Flower Snake, it scared away the other two Yao Beasts in the southern part of the Weishui River. So, the Grand Elder and I discussed going under the Weishui River to see if there was anything valuable."

Thinking of the treasures in his Storage Pouches, Ye Yisong couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth, and he patted the Storage Pouches at his waist, saying, "Once we took a look, it was incredible! We each discovered the treasures of a palace. And so, we made a fortune!"

Looking at the thirteen Storage Pouches around Ye Yisong's waist, Ye Xiaowu unconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Just how many treasures must be packed in there?

"The Storage Pouches on this kid aren't all filled with treasures. Eight of them were likely left behind by the human Martial Artists killed by those two Yao Beasts," Ye Rongsong said, helping Ye Yisong explain when he saw everyone's gazes.

The gazes of Ye Xiaowu and the other two restrained slightly, but thinking that even five Storage Pouches full was incredible!

"Specifically, how much and what kind of things are there?" Ye Jiesheng said, staring at Ye Yisong with burning eyes.

He didn't avoid the others; they were all trustworthy high-level members of the Family, and as for Patriarch Ye Tuanzhang, there was no issue there either.

"There are just about seven or eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones, and there is also a..." Ye Yisong said, listing them off like he was counting his own Family treasures.

"How much?" Ye Jiesheng interrupted the rest of Ye Yisong's words, dumbfounded.

This was just too much.

Since when were Yao Beasts so rich?

For a moment, he even considered going personally to chat with the Yao Beasts in every water system of Cangjiang Prefecture.

The resources and Spirit Stones that Ye Jiesheng had used to Cultivate to become a Seven-Star Martial Sect far exceeded a million Spirit Stones, but those had been accumulated slowly... by tricking here and cheating there.

In most cases, it was still bartering.

When had he ever seen so many Spirit Stones at once?

If one were to ask where there were such large reserves of Spirit Stones, it would have to be the Family Treasury, but the Family Treasury had never allowed him to enter!

Just as Ye Jiesheng was thinking about how to help Ye Yisong keep these Spirit Stones safe, a voice filled with surprise reached everyone's ears.

"Everyone is still here!"
