The box was opened, revealing a box full of gold bars to Ling Yi.
Ling Yi picked up the two gold bars and clinked them together.
The gold bars clinked together.
Ling Yi then turned his gaze to the other nine boxes.
"Could all of these be gold bars?"
Quickly open all the boxes.
Not all of them were gold bars; there were only two boxes containing gold bars.
The remaining eight boxes were all filled with loose silver.
The shapes of the broken silver pieces are not very regular.
Some are big, some are small; some are square, some are upright.
However, the weight of these pieces of silver is all standard weight.
The smaller ones cost one tael each, and the larger ones cost ten taels each.
There are also those weighing two ounces, three ounces, and five ounces.
They're basically all this weight and specification.
These eight boxes, each containing at least 100,000 taels of silver.
In total, that's 800,000 taels.
As for the gold, the two chests should also be worth two hundred thousand taels.
This is a windfall!
"However, for the time being, this gold and silver doesn't seem to be of much use to me."
As soon as Ling Yi finished speaking, the system's voice rang out.
[Host, you can increase Upgrade Points by consuming Huangjin. One thousand taels of gold can be exchanged for one Upgrade Points.]
Can I exchange them for Upgrade Points?
One thousand taels equals one Upgrade Points; two hundred thousand taels equals two hundred Upgrade Points.
In other words, Ling Yi can now have 200 Upgrade Points at any time.
If all of it is used to improve constitution, that's 200 points of constitution.
Two hundred points of physique, roughly twenty times the physique of an ordinary person, directly elevates Transcendent.
However, Ling Yi did not redeem it directly.
You can redeem it anytime you want.
Can silver be exchanged for Upgrade Points?
[Host, only Huangjin is acceptable.]
Ling Yi nodded. In this way, Ling Yi had another way to obtain Upgrade Points.
That's pretty good news.
Just then, Ling Yun's somewhat worried voice came from above.
" Little Yi, what's going on next?"
"It's safe down here, sis, come down too!" Ling Yi called out.
Soon, footsteps sounded.
Ling Yun came to Ling Yi's side.
"Wow, how can there be so much gold and silver here?" Ling Yun exclaimed in surprise.
"These are weapons and armor, and this is Dami? And it's polished rice."
" Little Yi, Little Yi, are we rich? Pinch me, is this for real?"
Ling Yun shouted excitedly.
Ling Yun didn't care about gold, silver, weapons, or armor; what she cared about was the Dami.
With this rice, they will never have to go hungry again.
And this is Dami!
It should be noted that the grains they eat daily are mostly unrefined grains.
The noodles are coarse noodles, and the rice is millet, both of which are coarse rice.
Especially the Dami, and such fine, high-quality rice—it was something only the wealthy and powerful could afford.
North Leaf Province does not produce Dami; Dami is only produced in the south.
The price is extremely high.
Moreover, even if you have money, it's difficult for ordinary people to buy it.
"It seems this village chief is no ordinary person!" Ling Yi said, stroking his chin.
Hearing Ling Yi's words, Ling Yun nodded. "Yes, none of these things are things that ordinary people can usually see."
In this world, Huangjin is also a form of currency.
One tael of gold can be exchanged for a hundred taels of silver.
But a hundred taels of silver cannot buy a single tael of gold.
The key point is that "Huangjin" was official currency.
In other words, only official entities, or individuals and businesses authorized by the official entities, are permitted to conduct transactions using Huangjin.
For ordinary people, it is illegal to trade with Huangjin.
As for those weapons and armor, they were clearly Forging high-quality iron.
If these weapons are discovered, their heads and entire families will be executed.
Possessing military equipment without permission will be considered treason, with no Jade Emperor negotiation.
At this moment, Ling Yun also calmed down.
" Little Yi, these things, except for the silver, are all illicit. What should we do with them?"
"That's easy."
Ling Yi snapped his the Snap, and in the next instant, everything in the cellar vanished.
Ling Yi put it into his Personal Space.
This scene left Ling Yun speechless.
" Little Yi, is this some kind of immortal technique?"
Ling Yi nodded. "I have a Personal Space that can hold everything."
"Let's go, let's go outside first and talk about it!"
Ling Yun nodded, and with slightly unsteady steps, followed Ling Yi out of the cellar.
The supplies in the cellar were truly astounding.
If the village chief's identity is not simple, then were the soldiers and bandits who came to find him and killed his family also scheming, and not simply bandits?
However, there is too little information available right now, so everything can only be guessed.
But regardless, the village chief's family is dead, and the bandits have left.
At least in the short term, this remote mountain village should be safe from any further danger.
However, Ling Yi always likes to plan ahead when doing things.
Just because there is no danger now doesn't mean there won't be in the future.
After returning home, Ling Yun asked Ling Yi to bring out a bag of rice so she could boil water and cook.
Ling Yi squatted on top of his own Earth Wall, looking at the skill list on the system interface.
"In the future, war is highly likely to occur, and in war, the power of an individual will always be insignificant."
Ling Yi looked at the series of skills on the system interface, and finally his Light Lock on a few skills.
"Unless one can reach Entering Divinity Transcendent, completely fearless of worldly forces."
Therefore, the skills you choose determine the path you will take next.
After hesitating for a moment, Ling Yi's Light Lock onto one of the skills.
"System, what Changes will occur if the Hypnosis skill is upgraded?"
[ Hypnosis skills have two evolution paths to choose from. Evolution path one: Illusion Technique, which uses Divine Power to create Illusion Technique; the stronger the Divine Power, the stronger the effect.]
[Evolutionary Path Two: Divine Soul Contract, capable of Contract with other beings whose Divine Power is lower than the host's.]
Ling Yi nodded; it was just as he had guessed.
"System, allocate points to upgrade the Hypnosis skill, direction: Divine Soul Contract. If you don't have enough Upgrade Points, automatically exchange them using Huangjin."
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully Hypnosis your Hypnosis skill by consuming 1 Upgrade Points. Your Hypnosis skill has progressed from Proficiency to Minor Accomplishment.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have used 1 Upgrade Points to upgrade your Hypnosis skill from Minor Accomplishment to Great Accomplishment.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have consumed 1 Upgrade Points. Your Hypnosis skill has progressed from Great Accomplishment to Perfection.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have consumed 10 skill points. Your Hypnosis skill has advanced and mutated into a skill Contract, Entry level!]
Instantly, Ling Yi felt his head grow larger.
At the same time, a large amount of information appeared out of thin air.
Of course, the head cannot actually grow bigger; that's an illusion.
It's an illusion caused by a surge in Divine Power.
Contract, Entry level, allows you to Contract with beings whose Divine Power is relatively weak.
But that's not enough.
Since we've already decided to go for the Summon build, let's go all the way.
"Add more."
[Ding, congratulations host, you have consumed 8 Upgrade Points, and your Contract skill has progressed from Entry to Perfection.]
"Not enough, keep going!"
[Ding, congratulations host, you have consumed 100 Upgrade Points, advancing your Contract skill and transforming it into a skill Divine Seal, Entry- level.]
As his skills improved, Ling Yi could clearly feel it.
Not only is his Divine Power increasing dramatically, but his body is also becoming stronger.
After receiving the extra information in my mind.
Ling Yi nodded in satisfaction.
The previous Contract skills had many drawbacks.
For example, the number of Contract beings is limited; you cannot Contract an unlimited number.
It can be affected by Divine Power.
Each time a Contract with a living being, a portion of Divine Power is consumed to establish a mental connection with that Contract.
But the Divine Seal doesn't have this problem.
The Divine Seal exists independently and does not require additional Divine Power.
Once Divine Seal is placed on the target being, it can be controlled with a mere thought.
The key point is that the Divine Seal can be used indefinitely.
"System, why has my physical strength increased as well?" Ling Yi asked, puzzled, looking at his physique which had reached 52 points.
