Qing Yuan Pills!
Their value exceeds a thousand Spirit Essence Pills. They are forged and refined from thousands upon hundreds of Spirit Essence Pills. They contain terrifying spiritual energy and are an extremely precious cultivation resource. Because they have undergone tempering, the spiritual energy inside is extremely high. Some high grade Qing Yuan Pills can even be refined into true essence.
If he had true essence pills to assist his cultivation, Ye Chu believed his cultivation could advance rapidly. Ye Chu thought that with his physique, cultivating to the seventh layer of the Origin Spirit Realm would probably require tens of thousands of Spirit Essence Pills. But with Qing Yuan Pills, about ten would be enough.
If he could get around a hundred, he estimated he would not need to worry about cultivation resources for the Origin Spirit Realm at all.
“How do you mean?” Ye Chu looked at Hong Kai with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Hearing Ye Chu say this, Hong Kai laughed. He knew Ye Chu was tempted. He smiled at Ye Chu and said, “What do you think? Are you interested?”
“Tell me! What fight do you want me to do?” Ye Chu asked.
“Soon, in a city five hundred miles from here, there will be a youth talent competition. The champion can get ten true essence pills. For this competition, I have one spot but cannot find a suitable person. You can fight against the Profound Fate Realm and have a complete chance to win the championship. If you are willing, I want you to represent my side in the battle, seize the championship, and obtain the ten true essence pills. How about we split them fifty fifty at that time?”
“I put in the effort while you only provide one spot. Is fifty fifty not too bullying? Thirty seventy can be considered!” Ye Chu said.
“Without my spot, you cannot participate at all. Fifty fifty is the bottom line! After all, I already gave you one thousand Spirit Essence Pills as reward. In total, you are already taking the bigger share. If you do not agree, then we will not talk anymore.” Hong Kai said.
“I do not want your Spirit Essence Pills. Forty sixty!” Ye Chu said.
“Fine, deal!” Hong Kai was naturally happy with this result, though he was surprised by Ye Chu’s confidence. Although forty sixty was more valuable, if Ye Chu failed to win the championship, he would get nothing at all.
If it was fifty fifty, he would at least get one thousand Spirit Essence Pills.
“When do we set off?” Ye Chu asked Hong Kai.
“Since you have agreed, we should set off as soon as possible.” Hong Kai said. “However, you two are really ruthless. You actually robbed Qing Hu of his Spirit Essence Pills.”
Ye Chu smiled and said, “I never do loss making deals! It is just that this mine only has around ten thousand Spirit Essence Pills, which is really too little.”
Hong Kai’s mouth twitched. Around ten thousand Spirit Essence Pills was already the output from mining this place for more than half a year. To them, it was extremely precious. Yet the other party still thought it was too little!
Such great cultivators as them could not bear to use too many. In a year, they used at most three or four thousand Spirit Essence Pills for cultivation. This was when they owned the mine. Without it, other Profound Fate Realm cultivators would not have so many cultivation resources. Even a thousand would be good!
“Are there many mines like this in Weiyang Prefecture?” Ye Chu suddenly asked. He was thinking that if cultivation resources were not enough in the future, he could go and rob some.
Hong Kai said, “They are as numerous as hairs!”
This sentence made Ye Chu’s eyes light up. “Really? Then does every mine belong to a Profound Fate Realm cultivator?”
Seeing Ye Chu’s expression, Hong Kai naturally knew what he was thinking. He smiled and said, “I advise you to drop that idea. There are many mines in Weiyang Prefecture, as numerous as hairs. But in reality, every area is controlled by terrifying experts. For example, in our area, there are two mines. Qing Hu and I each have one. Although we fight each other endlessly, in fact we both belong to Lord Niu Gui. And Lord Niu Gui belongs to a King level expert. Although we own the mines, half of the pills refined from them must be handed over to Lord Niu Gui.”
“So that is how it is!” Ye Chu nodded and said. “Then which King controls this area?”
“Within several thousand miles, it is all controlled by the Double Sword King. He controls several thousand mines under him. Lord Niu Gui controls over a hundred mines in this surrounding five hundred miles.” Hong Kai said.
“One King controls several thousand mines?” Ye Chu was shocked. If there were several thousand mines, how many Origin Spirit Pills would there be in a year? It would be enough for his cultivation.
“Actually it is not that much. Although he controls several thousand mines, he also has many people to support. Every cultivator who follows him needs Spirit Essence Pills, and the consumption is huge! Several thousand mines are still not enough for the King to spend freely.” Hong Kai said.
Ye Chu smiled. He thought that although the consumption was large, with Spirit Essence Pills, even a King could gather countless followers and truly have the style of a King.
Such a person was a colossal figure.
“Weiyang Prefecture is vast and boundless, with experts as numerous as clouds. Although you defeated one Profound Fate Realm cultivator, the mines here are considered the worst. Some better mines have strength far stronger than ours, even much stronger than Lord Niu Gui. So you should drop the idea of robbing.” Hong Kai smiled. “Besides, if you seize the mine, those above will not let you go. In fact, it is beneficial for you to be willing to act as my representative. At least Lord Niu Gui will only treat it as a private grudge between me and Qing Hu and will not involve you.”
Hearing this, Ye Chu smiled but did not reply.
…
Hong Kai brought horses. The three of them rode towards the city where Niu Gui lived.
The three did not stop. The distance of five hundred miles did not take them too much time.
Upon arriving at the city, Ye Chu found that this city was prosperous. Its grandeur was not inferior to some large cities in the empire, and it was even stronger.
Ye Chu observed and saw that the markets inside were flourishing with various goods and resources. These goods and resources all required Spirit Essence Pills. Spirit Essence Pills circulated here like currency.
Ye Chu looked at the prosperous market here and could not help but click his tongue. He thought that it was not without reason that Weiyang Prefecture became the core of the emotion domain. At least these cultivation resources were not comparable to other places.
“Let’s go! I will take you to a place to rest first!” Hong Kai smiled at Ye Chu. “If you want anything, you can come out and take a look at night. That is when it is truly prosperous.”
Ye Chu nodded and went with Hong Kai to an inn. Hong Kai got two rooms for Ye Chu, but Ye Jingyun refused and wanted to stay with Ye Chu.
This made Hong Kai surprised. He could not help but cast an envious look at Ye Chu. Having such a woman to accompany him at night was truly one of life’s great pleasures.
Ye Chu saw that Ye Jingyun still wanted to stay with him and could not help wanting to curse loudly. But before he could speak, Ye Jingyun’s arm hugged over. “You will not refuse, right?”
“Of course I will!” Ye Chu did not fall for Ye Jingyun’s trick.
Ye Jingyun glared at Ye Chu. She ignored him and asked for one room. She did not dare to be alone. Although Hong Kai had brought them here, who knew what he was planning? If she could not trust even him, then others were even less trustworthy. Ye Jingyun felt that only by following Ye Chu would there be some guarantee of safety.
Some things happened today. It is getting too late. I will continue to write hard!
