Chapter 997: Chapter 265: To encounter such a major event, it’s truly worth dying for! (8400)

At first, Ye Yunsheng didn’t pay much attention to this so-called ’Ancient Treasure Mirror’.

Although it was indeed somewhat useful, it ultimately was just an ordinary Identification Magic Tool.

The so-called guidance was nothing more than the usual Wind Seeking Technique and Light Seeking Technique, able to display unexplored temporary maps on the mirror surface and find paths in unknown caves.

But quickly, Ye Yunsheng noticed this mirror was not just ordinary.

It could actually locate ’treasure troves’!

In today’s Tianyuan Realm, so-called treasure troves are no longer the traditional precious spiritual objects or ancient caves - those are too distant and almost legends.

For the Tianyuan people now, a feng shui earth vein with little demonic qi is considered a treasure trove. Some lively spiritual plants and stones are regarded as treasures.

Ye Yunsheng discovered this when pondering how to use this treasure mirror, he directly locked onto a small grove inside the Ancient Immortal Ruins.

Since Ye Yunsheng is always cautious, he only operates in areas that have been explored and marked as safe, so theoretically, this small grove should have been searched many times by adventurers and it’s unlikely anything good is left.

But the wonder of the treasure mirror lies here: the map it displayed showed a rather obvious reaction of spirit qi underground, and after Ye Yunsheng dug over ten meters down, he was astonished to find a very peculiar large Earth Spirit Bean!

Who has seen an Earth Spirit Bean as large as a basketball buried ten meters underground? At least Ye Yunsheng hadn’t, and after selling this Earth Spirit Bean to the Peace Grocery Store for fifteen hundred Good Deeds, Ye Yunsheng immediately realized his destiny had arrived!

In just two days, Ye Yunsheng discovered many spiritual objects deeply buried and hidden in extremely secretive places using the Ancient Treasure Mirror.

These spiritual objects, if judged by value, weren’t particularly high-priced, but they were all concealed very secretly, either deeply buried in inconspicuous places or hidden in cliff cracks, and occasionally some were seemingly ordinary big trees actually nurturing some mystical Spirit Mushroom Immortal Ganoderma.

Coincidentally, the Peace Grocery Store also bought back these spiritual objects - even making Ye Yunsheng feel this was the shop owner’s plan, selling spiritual artifacts to adventurers to earn a sum, then buying back spiritual objects to earn another, without taking any relics’ risks, yet profiting on both ends!

Dammit, the real money in adventure exploring is not made by true adventurers but by these supporting merchants!

"Must be an artifact cultivation."

Caressing the treasure mirror in his hand, Ye Yunsheng actually understood well, that if things truly were like this, then more people would hold such treasure mirrors in the future, and it would be much harder for him to pick up leaks this easily.

Although his Foundation Establishment Realm was already stable, if he wanted to go further, then the resources needed far surpassed the past.

Greed.

Some people who know when to stop would think that if they were willing, they could stay at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, become a Guest Elder for a faction, or an employee at a big company. Thus, they could live comfortably for a lifetime without taking risks, maintaining a high status.

But Ye Yunsheng was different.

He gazed deeply into the treasure mirror in his hand, already starting to ponder years into the future in his heart.

—Is the early stage of Foundation Establishment really that powerful?

Yes, it is quite powerful.

Whether in the Dao Court Era or now, just being in Foundation Establishment signifies an extraordinary talent in the relevant field, and Foundation Establishment is also the minimum prerequisite for setting high-level Formations, refining Foundation Establishment Pills, and Spiritual Artifacts—so just becoming Foundation Establishment means job security, and at worst, one could comfortably live by selling refined Spiritual Fiends.

But there are three prerequisites.

An era of peace.

Scarcity of resources.

A small number of Foundation Establishments.

In a peaceful era, there is no demand for power; resource scarcity allows Foundation Establishments to profit from the basic sale of Spiritual Fiends; the small number of Foundation Establishments makes their mere existence a scarce resource.

But now, do these prerequisites hold? f\reewebn ovel(.)com

No, they don’t.

Ye Yunsheng isn’t foolish. He can see that when the Ancient Immortal Ruins appeared, the whole Xuanye City seemed like a long-dormant colossal machine starting to operate.

Talents among civilians began to be hired. Platforms and positions previously open only to families were now accessible by ability. The once-cracked down Spirit Stone smuggling trade was not only no longer suppressed but even opened up secretly.

Various military factories expanded recruitment, and the review and treatment for recruiting Fengdu Guards and various Magic Guards were relaxed and favored... Just watching the news, from any angle, all Four Great Spiritual Veins Cities are preparing for war.

The same goes for resources. With the opening of the Ancient Immortal Ruins, various Spirit Stones and Spirit Plant resources suddenly surged, with many previously expensive materials now priced at a third or even half of what they used to be.

The number of Foundation Establishments has also spurted—where once a faction had at most three or four, enough for middle management in small companies, now, although not falling to the level of frontline personnel, enables small companies to confidently say, ’if you don’t work, there’s plenty who will!’ And now medium to large factions must have at least seven or eight Foundation Establishments or even a Foundation peak, or they wouldn’t even be recognized!

In Ye Yunsheng’s judgment, if one wants to maintain the life and status of a past early Foundation Establishment, the current strength must be around the high Foundation Establishment level.
