91: Chapter 91 Harvest from the Storage Bag

After Grandfather Ye Tuantu and Ye Jiesheng left, Ye Yisong found a rattan chair in the courtyard, placed it on the open ground, flipped over, and lay down comfortably.

He held the Tier 3 spiritual liquid—Morning Dew—that he had just scavenged from his father Ye Jiesheng's house, and took a deep gulp: "Refreshing!"

In the tranquil Luanshi Peak, the occasional roar of a tiger would ring out, startling flocks of birds in the forest. These were likely the two Tier 3 White Mountain Tigers that his father, Ye Jiesheng, had subdued a hundred years ago—one male and one female—left to roam freely on Luanshi Peak, living off the land.

Ye Jiesheng would occasionally feed them the flesh and blood of Low Grade Yao Beasts to help them grow quickly.

Hearing that the tigress was pregnant, Ye Yisong planned to ask his father for one of the cubs to raise by his side. It could increase his combat strength and serve as an extra helper when he was out and about.

Just as he was thinking about this, the two White Mountain Tigers, their white fur dotted with spots, leaped to Ye Yisong's side and affectionately nudged his right hand with their heads. They were likely hungry and wanted Ye Yisong to feed them.

The two White Mountain Tigers recognized Ye Yisong. Sometimes, when Ye Jiesheng went out on long-term missions, he would instruct Ye Yisong to come every ten days or half a month to feed them some Low Grade Yao Beast flesh. Familiarity breeds affection, and the two tigers had gradually grown close to Ye Yisong.

There was no need to worry about the two tigers hurting anyone; Ye Jiesheng had planted a Restriction on their Divine Souls, allowing them only to move within Luanshi Peak. With a single thought, they could live or die. He had also given the control method to Ye Yisong; otherwise, Ye Yisong would never have dared to let the two White Mountain Tigers get so close to him.

"Eat!" Ye Yisong was not stingy. He took a small piece of Grade 4 Yao Beast meat from his Storage Pouch and handed it to the two White Mountain Tigers. At first, the two White Mountain Tigers were so frightened that they trembled and dared not move. Only after a long time, under Ye Yisong's soothing, did they step forward again and happily eat the Yao Beast flesh Ye Yisong gave them.

Not long after finishing their meal, the two White Mountain Tigers curled up on the open ground and fell fast asleep, as if hibernating.

When the Old Ancestor gave Ye Jiesheng and Ye Xiaowu Grade 4 Yao Beast flesh, he had also generously given Ye Yisong a pouch, though not much—only fifty catties of Grade 4 Yao Beast flesh and one catty of Grade 4 Flood Dragon flesh.

Ye Yisong estimated that it would take him a long time to fully digest and absorb even this small amount of Yao Beast flesh.

Looking back on this trip to Shuinan County, it had truly been perilous for him. If not for his good luck—the Grade 4 Talisman given by Grandfather Ye Tuantu when he broke through to Martial Master, the five Diamond Body Protection Talismans given by the Clan Chief upon his Breakthrough to Tier 3 Talisman Master, and the ten Talismans given by his master Ye Jiexin before he left—he would have lost his life in the snake's belly. He would never have had the chance to lie on a rattan chair, drinking Tier 3 spiritual liquid, so relaxed and comfortable as he was now.

Inside the snake's belly, Ye Yisong had used every method he could to break through the Flower Snake's body. He had even triggered his entire stock of one hundred Tier 2 Talismans at once, causing a burst of brilliant light within the Flower Snake's belly, but it was all to no avail. In the end, it was only by relying on the Nine-Colored Green Lotus that he was able to break through the already heavily injured snake belly in one go and escape.

Of course, this also had a lot to do with his cultivation as a Nine-Star Martial Master. If his cultivation hadn't broken through, he wouldn't have been able to unleash the Nine-Colored Green Lotus.

Looking at the only five soul nourishing pills left in his Storage Pouch, Ye Yisong couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was back to square one overnight, his pockets empty. Fortunately, he had managed to restock well at the Weishui River, temporarily easing his financial crisis.

After handing over all the Spirit Stones to Ye Jiesheng, the remaining four Storage Pouches containing Spirit Medicine, spirit ores, and other resources were worth five or six hundred thousand Spirit Stones. He shouldn't need to worry about Spirit Stones for a short while, and besides, there were still eight unopened Storage Pouches. Who knew what surprises might be waiting for him inside!

No sooner said than done; thinking more was useless.

Ye Yisong unfastened the eight Storage Pouches from his waist and lined them up in front of him. Looking at these Storage Pouches, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart; whether he could strike it rich again depended on them.

The ritual for inspecting the Storage Pouches could certainly not be skipped. Ye Yisong first cleaned his clothes and washed his hands, bathed, burned incense, and prayed before picking up the first Storage Pouch. His Divine Sense entered as if into an empty land, easily breaking the Restriction of the Storage Pouch and seeing the odds and ends inside.

In this world, Storage Pouches were divided into three categories based on size: those under ten cubic meters were Low Grade Storage Pouches; those from ten to ninety-nine cubic meters were Medium Grade Storage Pouches; and those reaching one hundred cubic meters were High Grade Storage Pouches. The maximum storage space of a High Grade Storage Pouch would not exceed five hundred cubic meters.

If one needed larger storage space, one would have to purchase Magic Treasures like spatial rings or bracelets.

Every Storage Pouch would have a Divine Sense Restriction set to prevent others from peeking and to protect the owner's property.

The owners of the eight Storage Pouches in Ye Yisong's hands had clearly been dead for many years, and their Divine Sense Restrictions were negligible. Under the pressure of Ye Yisong's Tier 4 Mental Energy, they were easily broken.

Ye Yisong looked speechlessly at the items inside the first Storage Pouch. There were only a little over a hundred Spirit Stones and a few Tier 2 Talismans; their value didn't even compare to the value of the Low Grade Storage Pouch itself.

It was quite like the embarrassing scene in later generations of using a six-digit code to protect a two-digit balance!

He then unhurriedly opened the second Storage Pouch. It was still a Low Grade Storage Pouch. The contents were slightly more than the first and somewhat worth a glance: a total of over a thousand Spirit Stones, seven or eight Tier 2 weapons, two Cultivation Techniques, and one inheritance Jade Slip.

The two Cultivation Techniques were common Tier 3 Five Elements Cultivation Techniques available on the market: the Quenching Fire Art and the Thick Earth Technique. The inheritance Jade Slip was actually a good item—it was an inheritance for a Tier 2 Artifact Refiner—but Ye Yisong had no use for it!

He would find an opportunity to give it to the Artifact Refining Elder, Ye Jietie, and see if it would be of any help to him.

Ye Yisong then opened the third and fourth Storage Pouches and obtained another thousand-plus Spirit Stones, two more Five Elements Cultivation Techniques, and some Tier 2 and Tier 3 weapons.

"No wonder the Grand Elder was so kind as to let me have all the Storage Pouches; he clearly knew they were full of junk and couldn't be bothered with them." Ye Yisong complained. For a Loose Cultivator, obtaining these things might be cause for wild joy, but for Ye Yisong, they were like chicken ribs—tasteless to eat.

The Family's Scripture Pavilion had hundreds of these Low Grade Five Elements Cultivation Techniques collected, and Ye Yisong himself was cultivating a Tier 5 Cultivation Technique, so how could he possibly think much of these?

Only that inheritance Jade Slip was worth a second look, but since the Family already had a Tier 3 Artifact Refiner, they didn't lack this Tier 2 inheritance; at best, it had some reference value.

Ye Yisong looked at the remaining four Storage Pouches, especially the last two Medium Grade Storage Pouches, hoping they could bring him some harvest.
