Chapter 516: Chapter 510: Yang Zhengxi’s Wealth

Just as Ye Zhen unleashed the Heavenly Thunder of Fright from his palm, the eyes of the Three-tailed Green Fox, which had been fixed on him, blinked suddenly, as if a slight change had occurred in its gaze.

But it was this simple blink that once again stunned Ye Zhen.

For with that blink, the fox conveyed a very clear message to Ye Zhen.

"Do not attack, I mean no harm!"

That was the message, and Ye Zhen could swear it wasn’t anything like Divine Soul Telecommunication. It was just that look that conveyed this message.

What surprised Ye Zhen even more was that he believed the message conveyed by the Three-tailed Green Fox quite readily.

Or rather, to some extent, the Three-tailed Green Fox was using some kind of power to influence Ye Zhen’s judgment, making him inexplicably fond of the fox.

He shook his head vigorously, trying to rid himself of this mind-disturbing sensation, but it was futile.

Not until Ye Zhen activated both Sword Heart Enlightenment and the Sword Manual of Extinction did he manage to dispel the inexplicable fondness. The half-human tall Three-tailed Green Fox no longer seemed so stunning to him.

Seeing that Ye Zhen’s gaze had cleared and the Thunder Light in his palm began to jump again, a trace of astonishment finally appeared in the beautiful angular eyes of the Three-tailed Green Fox.

With a flash, a bundle of Glazed Jade Root Grass floated towards Ye Zhen amidst a glitter of green light, and the fox’s eyes blinked once again.

"About earlier, I’m sorry. This Glazed Jade Root Grass can purify all poisons. It should be able to help the one in your arms..."

The message conveyed by the Three-tailed Green Fox left Ye Zhen rather astounded.

What was this?

An act of gratitude?

However, before Ye Zhen could understand, just in that brief moment of bewilderment, the Green Fox vanished into thin air with a flash of green light.

The astonishment even made Ye Zhen rub his eyes.

"Damn, it’s like a hallucination! What level of Monster Beast could this be?"

The Three-tailed Green Fox was not listed in the Demon Beast Atlas but was recorded in the Exotic Beast Record as being highly mystical and capable of captivating hearts; there were no other descriptions.

Ye Zhen thus had no way of knowing the specific grade of the Three-tailed Green Fox, but he speculated that, at the very least, it was a Heavenly Level High Grade Monster Beast.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been chased by the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King, a Monster Beast of the Heavenly Level High Grade, and still managed to escape unscathed.

It might even be one of those legendary Spirit Beasts that had awakened its Spirit Wisdom!

All these speculations, however, remained unverifiable after the departure of the Three-tailed Green Fox.

Yet, the appearance of the Three-tailed Green Fox reminded Ye Zhen of the Heavenly Level High Grade King-level Monster Beast, the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King, stirring a thought in his mind.

But the pressing matter was to detoxify the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten.

Ye Zhen again examined the Glazed Jade Root Grass. It was slightly heavy in hand with a unique fragrance. Just a sniff could clear one’s mind, indeed confirming its qualities as a Spiritual Grass, and it even surpassed several Upper-grade Earth Level Spiritual Grasses he had encountered.

Ye Zhen rummaged through his memory but could not recall any information regarding the Glazed Jade Root Grass, be it in the widespread Spirit Medicine Guidebook of the Black Dragon Domain or the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures Chart.

As per the Three-tailed Green Fox’s words, the Glazed Jade Root Grass could eliminate the Blue Sand Poison from the Kitten’s body.

But to eat or not to eat, that was the question!

Could Ye Zhen trust this Three-tailed Green Fox that had once harmed him?

Yet, after much deliberation, Ye Zhen couldn’t think of a reason for the Three-tailed Green Fox to harm him. Moreover, even if the Glazed Jade Root Grass was somehow peculiar, it would be the Kitten swallowing it, not him.

From this reasoning, the Glazed Jade Root Grass should indeed be a cure.

Even though Ye Zhen was convinced this Glazed Jade Root Grass was not poisonous, he still captured a Mid-grade Earth Level Golden Light Deer nearby and fed it a Glazed Jade Root Grass as a test.

It wasn’t that Ye Zhen was overly cautious, but should anything go wrong, the price was one Ye Zhen couldn’t afford.

The Kitten was Ye Zhen’s closest companion. If something happened, Ye Zhen didn’t know how he would bear the consequences, especially since just hours ago, the Three-tailed Green Fox had tricked him once.

After observing for two hours and seeing that the Golden Light Deer was still hopping around, Ye Zhen took out another Glazed Jade Root Grass and let the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten consume it.

The Three-tailed Green Fox was extremely generous, as Ye Zhen counted that it had given him as many as nine roots of Glazed Jade Root Grass, which was why he could afford to experiment.

What astonished Ye Zhen was the effectiveness of the Glazed Jade Root Grass!

In less than half a quarter-hour, the deadly Blue Sand Poison in the Kitten’s body, which Ye Zhen had only been able to suppress helplessly, was completely neutralized.

Besides losing a little Primordial Energy, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten was fully restored.

"It seems I was overly cautious! Moreover, the detoxifying effect of the Glazed Jade Root Grass is extremely miraculous; its grade must be quite high, possibly either Heavenly Level Lower Grade or Heavenly Level Middle Grade,"

Ya Zhen now lamented the Glazed Jade Root Grass he had wasted earlier in testing. Such a spiritual plant with miraculous detoxifying effects was definitely a valuable lifesaver.

Looking at the remaining seven Glazed Jade Root Grasses, Ye Zhen carefully stored them away.

"Here, eat these and recover your Primordial Energy!"

"Meow!"

The Kitten obediently swallowed the dozens of pellets Ye Zhen tossed over, instantly shrank to the size of a palm, and snuggled back into his arms.

Watching the kitten’s obedient demeanor, Ye Zhen was lost in thought.

As his cultivation improved, the kitten’s grade stagnated, struggling to keep up with Ye Zhen’s pace.

As a companion growing up alongside Ye Zhen, he was absolutely unwilling to let the kitten decline and drift further away.

This was a scenario Ye Zhen definitely did not want to see.

"After sorting things out in a few days, I must find a way to help the kitten break through the bloodline restrictions and enhance its grade. With the abundant heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the True Spirit Domain, far surpassing those in the Black Dragon Domain, there should certainly be a way to improve..."

After cleansing the lingering poison from the kitten’s body, Ye Zhen had resolved a major concern; however, he still needed to recover from his own injuries.

Whether it was his severed arm or the impurities in his spiritual power due to the excessive consumption of pills, they both required Ye Zhen’s time to recover.

But before beginning his recovery, Ye Zhen was already itching to see the treasures inside Yang Zhengxi’s storage ring, wondering what good items a Vein Forging Realm Second Stage strong practitioner might have left him.

Choosing a secluded location, he set up a simple talisman formation to conceal his aura, and instantly, his divine sense entered Yang Zhengxi’s dusky storage ring.

The moment his divine sense entered, Ye Zhen’s mouth gaped open in astonishment!

"Holy shit, did Yang Zhengxi rob an entire sect?"

Inside Yang Zhengxi’s high grade treasure ring, which measured a hundred meters in length, width, and height, was almost completely filled with various items.

The most abundant items were spirit crystals!

Those spirit crystals were piled up like a mountain!

Looking at this mountain-like pile of spirit crystals, only two words flashed through Ye Zhen’s mind—struck rich!

Struck it big indeed!

The mountainous pile of low grade spirit crystals swept over by his divine sense was yet to be completely counted, but the quantity definitely exceeded one hundred million!

What did one hundred million low grade spirit crystals signify?

At the very least, it equaled the total income of the Qiyun Sect from the Black Dragon Domain, without merging with the Sword Origin Sect’s territory, for three or four years.

Most crucially, these were not all there was.

Besides the mountain of low grade spirit crystals, there was a smaller hill piled up with mid grade spirit crystals, and Ye Zhen had counted these precisely—over 1.2 million mid grade spirit crystals.

Over 1.2 million mid grade spirit crystals, amounting to over 120 million low grade spirit crystals.

Ye Zhen’s eyes had already gone numb with shock from this wealth.

Because... there was still more!

In one corner, neatly stacked, were five thousand high grade spirit crystals.

A single high grade spirit crystal could be exchanged for ten thousand low grade spirit crystals, amounting to fifty million low grade spirit crystals, and significantly more.

Because one could easily exchange ten thousand low grade spirit crystals for one high grade spirit crystal, but not necessarily even twelve thousand low grade spirit crystals could be exchanged for one high grade spirit crystal.

"How could a Second Stage Vein Forging Realm strong practitioner possess such terrifying wealth?" Ye Zhen was somewhat stunned.

However, soon, Ye Zhen found the answer from a jade scroll.

The jade scroll was a record, or rather, an inventory list.

It detailed various sources of income and expenditure throughout the year for the Longevity Sect’s Xining Martial City Branch, including revenues from medicinal grass, renting crystals, spirit veins, mines, and contributions from believers—everything was listed on the jade talisman.

Finally, there was a summary.

Report to the Main Sect, Xining Branch in the True Spirit Calendar year 4379, all businesses collectively generated a revenue of 570 million and 482 million and 351,513 spirit crystals.

The net profit was 320 million and 974,002,340 spirit crystals, deducting the budgeted expenditure for the next year, contributing a total of 250 million low grade spirit crystals to the Main Sect, in which the proportion of low grade, mid grade, and high grade spirit crystals was 4, 4, 2...

This inventory jade talisman directly explained the source of this massive amount of spirit crystals.

Majorly, it was the wealth that the Longevity Sect’s Xining Branch should have contributed to the Main Sect headquarters; the real wealth belonging to Yang Zhengxi was probably just those 200 thousand mid grade spirit crystals and the remnants of over 100 million low grade spirit crystals!

"This time, I’ve really hit the jackpot..."

After being stunned, Ye Zhen began inspecting the other items in Yang Zhengxi’s storage ring.

"The Three Treasures Returning Spirit Pill?"

A bottle with only eight pills left made Ye Zhen exclaim.

This Three Treasures Returning Spirit Pill was a Lower Grade Heavenly Level pill which could allow a Fifth Stage Soul Sea Realm Martial Artist to recover 80% within a hundred breaths.

In the Black Dragon Domain, this was a pill of legend, only mentioned in the pill manuals, but unexpectedly, Ye Zhen managed to obtain eight of them all at once.

Beyond that, there were many other valuable healing and detoxification pills, but in terms of value, they were still far less compared to half a bottle of the Three Treasures Returning Spirit Pill.

Suddenly, Ye Zhen’s gaze paused and landed on a book in the corner, made of ancient-looking beast skin, with a few eye-catching characters on it!
