Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Blood Jade Spirit Rice
The Storage Bag opened, revealing a slightly larger storage space before Ye Jingcheng.
It’s slightly larger than his Storage Bag space, but not as large as Li Xiangcai’s.
Estimated to be around twenty cubic units.
The layout was rather chaotic, with seventy to eighty Spirit Stones, a few Magical Artifacts, several Jade Talismans, as well as Spirit Beast Meat and a considerable amount of Blood Jade Spirit Rice scattered in one corner of the storage space.
Body Cultivators differ from Dharma Cultivators, their demand for Spiritual Food is no less than that of Spirit Beasts.
Therefore, Spiritual Food occupied most of Li Xiangjin’s Storage Bag.
This Blood Jade Spirit Rice is quite famous in the Taihang Market; it takes three Spirit Stones to buy ten pounds of Spirit Rice, and after consumption, not only is it fresh and sweet, the Spiritual Light shines, but it also fully enhances the cultivator’s Blood Qi, greatly increasing strength.
What delighted Ye Jingcheng was that within Li Muzhen’s Storage Bag, a small mound of Longquan Stone ore was piled up in the corner.
The emerald glow was extremely dazzling, each piece of ore seemed like a solidified green mountain spring.
Roughly estimated to be several thousand pounds.
This was more than ten times the amount Ye Jingcheng collected in the mine.
It seems upon learning of the Li Family’s trouble, he gathered all the Longquan Stone veins.
Moreover, Li Xiangjin’s meticulousness ensured that nearly half was left in every mine shaft.
If Ye Jingcheng hadn’t accidentally discovered him, he might have managed to sneak back to report to the Li Family.
So much Longquan Stone ore could be refined into six or seven hundred pounds of concentrate, and the price of refined Longquan Stone in the market is about five Spirit Stones per pound.
Excluding the refining costs, three to four thousand Spirit Stones could be obtained.
Even sharing forty percent would still yield over a thousand Spirit Stones.
Ye Jingcheng suddenly felt numb to the sense of Spirit Stones.
This trip to the Taihang Mountain Range might yield nearly three thousand Spirit Stones, which in Alchemy, would take Ye Jingcheng years to earn back.
But then he shook his head repeatedly, he couldn’t afford such thoughts; the idiom goes, you can’t walk by the river without getting your feet wet.
Being earnest and diligently cultivating is the key.
After all, he has the Treasure Book Atlas within his body, and also possesses the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture.
As long as he gathers four Spirit Beasts with high enough aptitude and supports them with Spirit Medicine, he can cultivate to the Purple Mansion without worry.
This time returning to the family, he can also exchange for the Jade Qilin Snake he yearns for.
While Ye Jingcheng was excited, he glanced again at the Spirit Rice, Jade Talismans, and Magical Artifacts.
The Blood Jade Spirit Rice was roughly a hundred pounds; each grain was particularly full and round, emitting a blood-red jade light.
After picking some up, one could also smell the abundant Spirit Fragrance.
There were only three Magical Artifacts, including a Turtle Shell Spiritual Artifact, a Crimson Broadsword, and a pair of Spirit Boots.
The Crimson Broadsword was a Tier One Middle-grade Spiritual Artifact, yet it was astonishingly heavy.
Ye Jingcheng couldn’t hold it up at once, requiring the Artifact Manipulation Skill to wield it.
However, apart from its weight, it had no other special characteristics.
Could be valued at over a hundred Spirit Stones; when returned to the family, it could be sold to his second brother.
This Broadsword, based solely on its weight and power, was not inferior to Tier One High-Grade Spiritual Artifacts, without considering its faults.
The Spirit Boots were particularly striking, worn by Li Xiangjin, Ye Jingcheng saw their extraordinariness during their confrontation and immediately added them to his Storage Bag.
"Let’s call them Blue Feather Boots!" Ye Jingcheng rubbed the material of the blue Spirit Boots.
The Spirit Boots clearly were made from the beast hide of a Flying Bird Demon Beast, and were engraved with many permanent Spirit Arrays, with several Spirit Feathers inserted at the boot’s tail.
The boots combined with Blue-Edged Flowing Silk Enamel were stunning and lightweight, and inputting a bit of Spiritual Energy made the entire pair of Spirit Boots feel like a breeze.
Furthermore, these Spirit Boots were Tier One High-Grade.
Their value exceeded that of normal upper-grade attack Spiritual Artifacts significantly.
Therefore, Ye Jingcheng was particularly fond of them, as these types of artifacts that specially enhanced body techniques were what he needed most.
He preferred them over the Golden Shadow Sword.
That’s also why, during Li Xiangjin’s counterattack, he had no reaction time.
The Blue Feather Boots needed some modification, otherwise, they’d be too conspicuous and easily noticed by the Li Family.
As for the Artifact Refiner, he already decided to find Uncle Xingyu.
The latter was an established Tier One High-grade Refiner, capable of designing and improving a lot.
After working together for these years in the market, Ye Jingcheng believed their uncle-nephew relationship was decent.
Finally, turning to the Turtle Shell, Ye Jingcheng rubbed it once over, and his Divine Sense probed, shortly leading him to nod repeatedly, enlightened.
Unsurprisingly, it’s a concealed Spiritual Artifact.
His Divine Sense fell upon the Turtle Shell, and it terrifyingly disappeared, as if the Turtle Shell wasn’t visible at all.
If not for his gaze fixed on the Turtle Shell, it would be unbelievable.
The patterns on the Turtle Shell were unclear, the Array Patterns carved were twisted and odd.
As if it wasn’t a current treasure, and its level was particularly odd, Ye Jingcheng couldn’t determine it.
The typical evaluation of an artifact’s level entails observing two factors: one is the quantity of Array Patterns, the more there are, the higher the artifact’s level.
Besides that, its aura is also considered, as some Array Patterns are more advanced and affected by refining materials and the refiner’s skill.
Usually, inputting Spiritual Energy reveals its emitted Spiritual Light and aura.
But this Turtle Shell Spiritual Artifact couldn’t be discerned this way, as inputting Spiritual Energy showed no reaction, no Spiritual Light or aura, only the Turtle Shell began to become illusory.
Knocking on it with his palm produced a crisp ringing sound.
Regarding the Turtle Shell’s defensive capabilities, Ye Jingcheng shook his head slightly.
No wonder Li Xiangjin escaped facing the Earthquake Talisman; the Spirit Pattern on the Turtle Shell was entirely composed of Divine Sense concealment Array Patterns, with no reinforcing patterns.
If the Earthquake Talisman broke the Escape Skill’s Spiritual Light and collapsed, even as a Body Cultivator, Li Xiangjin couldn’t withstand it.
Moreover, the Turtle Shell Spiritual Artifact could suffer damage.
Using Magic would expose Li Xiangjin.
"Let’s name it Hidden Spirit Armor!" Ye Jingcheng solemnly stored the Turtle Shell.
He was pleased with this treasure, having expected aboard the Spiritual Ship that it’s likely not a cultivation technique.
If it were a cultivation technique, Li Mugu managing ought to hide many cultivators.
Plus, the Li Family wouldn’t be discovered tracking the Ye Family so quickly.
After storing the artifacts, Ye Jingcheng also looked at one by one Jade Talismans.
The first Jade Talisman was engraved with a Yellow Rank High-Grade Cultivation Technique, Blood Jade Body Tempering Scripture.
It recorded cultivation techniques from Qi Cultivation to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, a considerable inheritance; Ye Jingcheng suspected that this inheritance and the Turtle Shell were Li Xiangjin’s opportunities.
Otherwise, the Li Family would not place such a technique on a family member since an immortal family values inheritance greatly.
The remaining Jade Talismans made Ye Jingcheng frown; they were some martial arts for mortal martial artists and some Body Tempering Pill Formula Spirit Liquid.
Among them, the Blood Jade Spirit Rice contained a Body Tempering Spiritual Cuisine Secret Recipe, Blood Spirit Cuisine.
