Harvest

"Alright, gather together!" Ye Haiyi looked around, then led Ye Jingcheng's Jade Ring Rat in a large circle to confirm that there were no other cultivators hiding in Li Wood Valley.

Then he released a telepathic Spirit Talisman.

One by one, cultivators appeared at the entrance of the mine.

Everyone's face was beaming with smiles, including the cultivators who had been gathering supplies in the valley. In addition to the mineral veins, Li Wood Valley also had a first-order Spirit Vein. The Li Family had also planted some spirit medicine. Although there weren't many and their individual value wasn't very high, they added up to a considerable amount.

Moreover, the Ye Family's actions this time also resulted in the avenging of a great grudge!

As for the specific amount of the harvest, it has not yet been calculated. Unlike the Storage Bags of the Li Family cultivators, which belong to whoever kills the animal, Li Wood Valley's harvest is considered Lineage gain, similar to the distribution plan for the Dense Forest Pigs.

Sixty percent of the contribution must be paid, and of that, threety percent will be used by the Ye Family to reward cultivators who make extra contributions.

This also holds some promise for Ye Jingcheng.

"Everyone's here!" Once the Ye Family members had all gathered, the group retreated towards the valley's mineral vein.

"Let's begin!" Ye Haiyi took out an array flag and threw it into the mine.

The next moment, a terrifying explosion occurred.

There is a high possibility that there are more cultivators hiding in the mine. Whether it's to destroy evidence or to leave no survivors, they would have to do it.

After finishing, he took out the Spirit Boat, which resembled that of Rogue Cultivator, and headed towards the depths of the Taihang Mountain Range.

The best way to avoid being tracked is to use the Taihang Mountain Range, which the Ye Family is familiar with, to retreat slowly and pass through the territories of some powerful second-tier Demon Beasts.

With the Blackwood Ant and the Crimson-Crowned Snow Eagle leading the way, the journey was extremely smooth.

Only when they passed a huge mountain peak did a Three-Colored Rainbow Roc, at least at the late stage of the second rank, appear in the sky, its presence truly terrifying.

Fortunately, there was a river nearby, and the group escaped by falling into the water.

As the Spirit Boat slowly glided through the mountains, sunrise and moonset alternated in turn.

On the second night, the Spirit Boat crossed countless mountain peaks and plunged into the plains of the Taihang Mountain Range.

Although he was in a hurry, Ye Haiyi still announced that they would rest for the night in the cave abode that had been prepared in advance.

After two consecutive days of running around, both Spirit Boats and cultivators need a safe Array to rest, recover their Spiritual Qi, and also their mental state.

In particular, dozens of Ye Xingqun's Blackwood Ants were lost in this line.

After all, the Ye Family's Spirit Boat couldn't possibly be delayed in the Taihang Mountain Range just because of some accident involving the Blackwood Ants.

Fortunately, there is enough Spirit Beast meat. Once Ye Xingqun refines the Beast-Luring Pill, he can induce another batch of Blackwood Ants to grow.

The task remained the same: inspecting the cave abode, setting up Array, releasing Blackwood Ants and Red Thousand-Mile Mouse, and observing in secret.

This caution is almost ingrained in their very bones.

This time, Ye Jingcheng's Jade Ring Rat was also assigned to the observation duty team.

The Moonlight Stone slowly illuminated the cave abode, and at this moment, it was clear that everyone's brows had relaxed considerably.

Once you leave the Taihang Mountain Range, the probability of danger decreases significantly.

We're not far from Soaring Cloud Peak now, so even if something unexpected happens, Soaring Cloud Peak can come to our aid.

"Everyone, sort through the Dragon Spring Stone ore and some spirit medicine materials that you obtained from Li Wood Valley of the Li Family. Keep what you can, and we'll hand over the portion to the Lineage later," Ye Haiyi said. At this moment, almost every member of the Ye Family had two or three Storage Bags hanging on their backs.

Ye Jingcheng had five of them die.

One of them was Li Xiangcai, another was Li Mujin, and there were two others whose names Ye Jingcheng couldn't recall. However, the remaining two were both cultivators at the fifth level of Qi Refining, so he didn't have high expectations.

He first took out the Storage Bags of two Qi Refining Level 5 cultivators. There weren't many Spirit Stones inside, one was a little over thirty Spirit Stones, and the other was a little over fifty Spirit Stones.

There were quite a few Spirit Talisman, including three mid-grade first-tier spirit Spirit Talisman and one First-Tier Superior-Grade Spirit Talisman.

The superior-grade Spirit Talisman is the rare Sand Escape Talisman.

No wonder the opponent didn't use it even when they were dead.

In places without sand, the Sand Escape Talisman is essentially a low-grade, first-tier Earth Escape Talisman.

Besides the Spirit Talisman, there was also a lot of Spirit Beast meat and some spirit medicine, but none of them were worth more than thirty Spirit Stones.

As for Law Artifacts, there are four mid-grade first-tier magical Law Artifacts and two flying swords, which are ordinary Swordsmanship magical artifacts, somewhat similar to Ye Jingcheng's Shadowflow Sword. Their power is not very high, and for him at the seventh level of Qi Refining, it is already somewhat out of his reach.

The remaining two Law Artifacts are a cloth Law Artifact and a stone Law Artifact, neither of which can be considered special.

He wasn't exactly disappointed, but he was still somewhat dissatisfied that the Li Family cultivators had used so many Spirit Talisman, yet their Storage Bags contained so little.

Ye Jingcheng then took out Li Xiangcai's Storage Bag, and upon closer inspection, the Storage Bag's space exceeded his expectations!

It has a volume of about thirty cubic meters, making it comparable in size to a small hall.

The interior was also furnished with bookshelves, demonstrating meticulous attention to detail.

One wooden shelf contained some Jade Slips, another contained a box of Spirit Stones, another contained Spirit Talisman Law Artifact and magical artifacts, and yet another contained some raw materials, including Spirit Beast Materials, as well as spirit ores.

However, the number of Jade Slips was not large, and the contents were mostly miscellaneous notes on cultivation, which were bought from stalls Rogue Cultivators. As for Spirit Talisman, they were practically empty.

The only thing that truly satisfied him was the Spirit Stones.

Ye Jingcheng roughly estimated that there should be three hundred Spirit Stones.

In the corner, there was a small pile of Dragon Spring Stone ore, befitting the grandson of Li Mutian, the fifth elder of the Li Family.

Ye Jingcheng felt a little excited. He needed to hand over a portion of the Dragon Spring Stone ore, but he didn't need to hand over the Spirit Stones and spirit medicine materials.

These alone add up to over four hundred Spirit Stones.

Including the harvest from the Dense Forest Pigs, he had 1300 Spirit Stones.

He also received a share of these Dragon Spring Stone Veins.

It seems that reaching 2000 contribution points is not far off.

Suppressing his excitement, Ye Jingcheng finally took out two more Law Artifacts.

These two Law Artifacts are Li Xiangcai's two First-Tier Superior-Grade Law Artifacts, one of which is the Golden Shadow Sword.

The sword is about 10.5 inches long, belonging to the category of short swords. However, Ye Jingcheng had seen that once refined, it could be transformed into a golden giant sword over 10 feet long with great power when activated by Spiritual Qi.

Even in the market, it would cost three or four Spirit Stones.

Ye Jingcheng did not hesitate to keep it as his Law Artifact.

Of course, he wouldn't show it off normally, otherwise, if the Li Family found out, there would be no shortage of trouble.

Once Ye Jingli's weapon-refining skills are high enough, he can also modify and decorate the other party's weapon.

The second Law Artifact is the First-Tier Superior-Grade Blood Void Claw. This Law Artifact is a rare ambush Law Artifact, and its value is no less than that of the Golden Shadow Sword. In fact, it is possible that it could fetch an additional 20% premium if it encounters a cultivator who likes it.

Ye Jingcheng also added it to his collection, planning to test it again later.

Then he picked up Li Xiangjin's Storage Bag.

He had even higher expectations for this Storage Bag, regardless of whether it contained a hidden magical Law Artifact or a hidden Cultivation Method, it was definitely extraordinary!

Moreover, the opponent is a rare Body Cultivator.
