Reward?
Jade Dragon Pool is located directly north of Jade Dragon Valley, where there is a gently rising hill.
Nestled against several massive green mountains, the pool receives very little sunlight on ordinary days, which makes the water appear exceptionally blue-green.
A group of cultivators emerged from the jungle, each with a different expression on their face.
For Rogue Cultivator, the discovery of a mineral vein here is naturally a joyous occasion, and they might even be able to find a job as miners.
However, the situation is different for the major Lineage. Jade Dragon Pool is located deep in the Taihang Mountain Range, and it is often harassed by Demon Beast. It is even possible that Demon Beast will surround the valley.
Profit sharing also means helping to protect this valley.
However, these Lineage had no choice but to accept this, so they could only hope that the Spirit Stone mine was large enough to yield a substantial amount of Spirit Stone.
The Ye Family was among them. The Jade Dragon Pool in front of them was quite large, about the size of a lake.
Unlike at the bottom of the pool where he couldn't use his Divine Sense, Ye Jingcheng could now see the entire surrounding area.
The wide Jade Dragon Pool is covered with emerald green duckweed the size of coins. Every now and then, a Red-Node Fish surfaces, pushing the duckweed aside and revealing its round mouth.
The Spiritual Qi around Jade Dragon Pool is also extremely abundant, and patches of Blue-Green Flower grow along the banks. Even the flowers of these Blue-Green Flower are the same color as their stems and leaves.
But don't underestimate these Blue-Green Flower; they are all spirit medicine used to refine First-Tier Superior-Grade Qi- Qi Replenishing Pill, and their prices in the market are extremely high.
Ye Jingcheng tentatively probed the Divine Sense and reached the bottom. The jade bed and various spirit eggs had disappeared, including the jade Jade Dragon Grass.
Clearly, the reason why Master Luoyuan disappeared and only Qian He struggled to stay Master Luoyuan was to come to this Jade Dragon Pool to collect these spiritual items in advance.
Upon reaching Jade Dragon Pool, the two masters continued their journey towards the mountains on one side, eventually landing at the foot of the eastern side of the mountain, where there was a rather shallow cave.
The entrance to the cave was hidden by a large grove of trees, and it was impossible to spot without careful observation.
Moonlight Stone had already been placed inside the cave, so it was not dark.
Upon reaching this point, Ye Jingcheng and the other Rogue Cultivator could no longer proceed; instead, the heads of various Lineage and Foundation Establishment cultivators went on their own.
Ye Jingcheng hadn't expected there to be a cave here.
Soon, Ye Xingliu also emerged from the cave and began collecting everyone's Storage Bag.
Even deceased cultivators must provide proof that their soul tablets are broken.
This also includes Rogue Cultivator. When various Lineage hire Rogue Cultivator, they also provide one-time soul slips for the corresponding cultivators.
Ye Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were only accepting Storage Bag. After checking his own Storage Bag, he handed it over as well.
This time, he had more than twenty first-tier spirit snake corpses in his Storage Bag. Even if each one cost ten Spirit Stones, that would amount to nearly three hundred Spirit Stone.
The most valuable parts of a spirit snake are its skin and gallbladder. The skin is an excellent material for making talismans or robes, as it is warm in winter and cool in summer, making it very popular among cultivators.
Snake gallbladders are a valuable treasure for some Body Cultivator or those who want to raise Spirit Beast.
Of course, some snakes also have venom sacs, which will significantly increase their price.
Besides the spirit snakes and pythons, there are also many Red-Node Fish. Because of their delicious taste, Red-Node Fish have no shortage of market demand, and they can sell for three Spirit Stones each in the early stages of the first tier.
Ye Jingcheng's Storage Bag also contained about seventy tails!
This harvest amounted to around five hundred Spirit Stone. If we don't count the sect and Lineage's cut, it was a very good return for a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining.
Moreover, during this period, Ye Jingcheng did not explore the jungle but carried out a mission; otherwise, his gains would have been even greater.
For example, Ye Jingli sidled up to him and asked how his harvest was.
After learning about Ye Jingcheng's achievements, Ye Jingli once again began to recommend his newly researched Law Artifact, as if this time it was his Law Artifact that was unleashing its power.
After a short period of about fifteen minutes, the sects, having collected nearly 30% of the profits, returned their respective Storage Bag.
When Ye Jingcheng reached for his Storage Bag, Ye Jingcheng also looked at it.
However, they discovered that all the various spirit snake materials and corpses in the Storage Bag were intact, not a single one was missing, not even the Red-Node Fish.
Instead, several more spirit medicine were found Storage Bag.
One of them is an 80-year-old Earth Cloud Ganoderma, which means that the Golden-Scaled Beast is only missing one more spirit medicine to advance its cultivation: a 100-year-old Jade Shell Fruit!
Ye Jingcheng looked up and met Ye Xingliu's eyes, only to find that the latter had already entered the Ye Family's cultivators and was continuing to distribute Storage Bag.
"Jingcheng, they only deducted 60%, we still have 40% left!" Ye Jingli extremely pleased, having earned over a hundred Spirit Stone that day.
It's much faster than him crafting Law Artifact.
In this situation, he would be somewhat willing to explore new avenues every day.
Moreover, hunting Demon Beast is more profitable for cultivators who raise Spirit Beast, since they need to buy Spirit Beast meat regularly!
The killings are being carried out on-site, without needing to go through anyone else.
"Sixth Brother, me too! I thought it was only 30%!" Ye Jingcheng replied.
At the same time, he knew in his heart that the large amount of things in his Storage Bag were probably the results of his secret operation!
The Earth Cloud Ganoderma alone is worth over a hundred Spirit Stone, and with the Spirit Beast Materials that weren't extracted, it's worth another five hundred Spirit Stone.
In truth, that trip wasn't a loss, but Ye Jingcheng still felt a little disappointed.
After all, that's Spirit Beast with the potential to evolve into True Spirit.
Even if advancing is a bit complicated, as long as he can advance once or twice, he can benefit immensely from the Beast-Link Mark!
By then, his strongest attribute will probably not be Fire Attribute, but Water Attribute.
"Make good use of your Clan Contribution points. This is the Azure Mystic Iron Mine, a top-grade material that can be used to refine first-tier top-grade magic Law Artifact!" Ye Haiyi suddenly patted Ye Jingcheng on the shoulder, interrupting Ye Jingcheng's reverie.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng was overjoyed.
He didn't believe that Ye Haiyi had told him about Azure Mystic Iron.
It was about exchanging for Spirit Beast eggs.
However, Ye Jingcheng was also somewhat surprised to hear about the Azure Mystic Iron, as this kind of profound iron was extremely famous in the Cultivation World.
These Law Artifact have a high degree of compatibility and malleability, and are often made into complete Law Artifact!
It also comes with some cloud and fog characteristics!
If Ye Jingcheng's Silver Snow Needles were mixed with some Azure Mystic Iron, their power would increase several levels!
The misty clouds and illusory attacks are impossible to defend against!
"Everyone, the exploration and clearing of Jade Dragon Valley went extremely smoothly this time. In the coming days, those who haven't finished exploring can continue to explore their assigned areas. As for those Rogue Cultivators who wish to become mine miners, you can start registering now!"
"Furthermore, the Red-Node Fish from Jade Dragon Pool this time will be awarded to the Mo Family, Xu Family, and Ye Family. This is the decision of the two venerable ones. If anyone has any objections, please feel free to report them!"
"I will certainly convey the message to you all!" the Taiyi Sect steward said loudly.
