Chapter 341 The Storm
The contents of the storage bag quickly confirmed Ye Kang's conjecture.
With just a fleeting glance, he saw that the amount of money in the bank far exceeded that of the Buddhist disciples.
The spirit crystals amounted to over 5000, more than half of all the spoils I had painstakingly collected.
Moreover, this guy's spirit crystal wasn't earthy yellow, but sky blue.
【Ding】
Spirit crystals are divided into different attributes. Earth-yellow ones are earth-attribute spirit crystals, sky-blue ones are water-attribute spirit crystals, and there are also metal, wood, and fire spirit crystals. The five elements spirit crystals only differ in their spiritual energy attributes, and their value is equal.
The system's explanation enlightened Ye Kang.
He then looked at other things, including more than a dozen precious plants, all of which were body-tempering precious plants.
This was thanks to the fact that the person wielding the knife was also a body-tempering martial artist, which allowed Ye Kang to get a great deal.
Including these, he now has as many as thirty or forty body-tempering plants, enough to last him for a while.
Ye Kang then took out a golden token with three characters engraved on it.
"The Stormy Gathering".
"So this is where this guy comes from."
Ye Kang took out other miscellaneous items, some clothes, and jade slips.
By penetrating their senses into the jade slips, they discovered that most of them contained letters, with only two jade slips containing secret manuals.
Ye Kang was not in a hurry and first browsed through the letters.
"Qicheng, my dear son, it's as if we're meeting in person. You've been away from home for twenty years. I've heard you're highly regarded in the Kuanglan Society, which brings great joy to our family. But your mother is still worried. The world outside is vast, my son. Don't be hasty; always prioritize stability..."
Ye Kang casually tossed aside a family letter and picked up another jade slip.
"Senior brother, the Dongji Island Fishing Tournament is coming up soon. Don't forget our promise to go together. By the way, Senior Brother Li confessed his feelings to me the other day and is pursuing me, but you should understand my feelings..."
Ye Kang frowned. How could he focus on cultivation if he was so attached to his children?
He then looked at the next piece.
"Senior Qi Cheng, I made rapid progress in our dual cultivation last time. I'll be waiting for you at the usual place on the fifteenth of next month..."
Ye Kang frowned again.
This guy has such a rich private life!
Criticism! Criticism is necessary!
After reading many jade slips, Ye Kang finally found one that was useful.
"The Kuanglan Society's mission: Order Yao Qicheng to leave the archipelago, secretly travel to the mainland, and kill one person. Mission details to be discussed in person."
This is it!
Ye Kang's expression was grim; he couldn't understand why Kuang Lan would want to kill him.
Could it be that his exceptional talent made him a target of fear from overseas?
That shouldn't be the case. To put it bluntly, I'm just a Lotus Realm martial artist, not even a Grandmaster. I shouldn't be able to affect the competition between the hidden sects and the outer sea, right?
Ye Kang shook his head. Analysis alone was meaningless. To find out the truth, he had to go to the outer sea in person.
He discarded the unrelated jade slip and browsed through the jade slip containing the secret manual once more.
One of the martial arts techniques was Yao Qicheng's swordsmanship, which Ye Kang threw into the Moyu Ancient Treasure, with no intention of learning it.
The other jade slip contained the cultivation technique, which was the most useful.
【Ding】
[The Lotus Realm cultivation technique recorded: Azure Cloud Demon Art]
[The Furnace of Myriad Laws Reminder: The Holy Ultimate Heaven-Reaching Skill can be fused with the Azure Cloud Demon Skill. The fusion and refining requires the myriad spirits of the world with the poison attribute of the ocean.]
Ye Kang was amazed. This demonic art was actually a rare poison technique. When refined to its peak, it could unleash a sky full of azure poisonous mist with a wave of the hand, making it extremely lethal.
However, it is clear that Yao Qicheng did not practice this method. This should be a technique he found by chance and had not yet had time to practice. The technique he practiced was probably provided by the Kuanglan Society, and he did not leave any jade slips behind.
Ye Kang didn't care. If it was useful, it was a good method. He didn't care whether it was righteous or demonic, or whether it was poisonous or not.
After destroying the useless items, Ye Kang put all the junk he didn't need into a storage bag, and then handed it, along with the remaining empty storage bags, to Leng Wuqing.
What he considers useless is a treasure to the Azure Scale Guards. If they make good use of it, they can easily train a few more powerful individuals.
Seeing how much Ye Kang cared for the Qinglin Guards, Leng Wuqing felt somewhat guilty.
"Ye Kang, we can't help you, and instead we have to rely on you for help, this..."
"There's no need for sentimental talk. In short, the temporary trouble is resolved, but there will be many more troubles in the future. Just accept these things and make yourself stronger."
Ye Kang smiled, not caring.
"Very well, so what are your plans now? Are you going back to the capital to report?"
"There's no time to spare. Lord Leng, just write me a letter and report back on my behalf."
"Okay, then you should be more careful."
Leng Wuqing didn't ask Ye Kang where he was going. The two were already on different levels, and asking more questions would only make things worse.
Ye Kang nodded and was about to leave when Leng Wuqing said, "There's one more thing. The Tianya Haijiao Secret Realm hasn't opened yet. If you don't have enough time, I'll get Tianshui Chaolu for you."
Ye Kang was stunned for a moment, then he realized what was happening.
It seems that Leng Shuai has already told Leng Shuai about what he asked Li Wenzhong.
That's fine too. We're going in opposite directions and the distance is too far. It would be best if Leng Wuqing could help.
He nodded without saying anything more, then his figure flashed and he arrived at the gate of the military camp.
The carp god was squatting at the door, watching the ants move house with curiosity.
"gone."
"Where to?" The carp god looked up, his expression bewildered.
Ye Kang smiled and said, "Come visit my house."
With that, a flash of light appeared on their blades, and the two of them, riding on the Azure Sky Blade, flew out of the Southern Frontier.
……
Imperial City.
Emperor Yun Xiaoyao of the Great Jin Dynasty, holding a letter, walked into a cold palace with a livid face.
Ten years ago, a palace maid who had been favored by him was banished to the Cold Palace for disobeying the Empress, where she remained for ten years.
Ten years have passed, and apart from a few old eunuchs and palace maids who took care of her daily life, almost no one remembers this poor woman.
Unbeknownst to anyone, Yun Xiaoyao would secretly visit the Cold Palace late at night every so often to meet with this palace maid.
Her identity was not merely that of a palace maid, but rather that of a spy planted by the overseas authorities to serve Yun Xiaoyao.
Yun Xiaoyao coldly pushed open the door and walked up to the aloof woman in white.
"You failed. The expert you sent was killed by Ye Kang."
The woman in white frowned and took the letter.
After reading it, his face turned as cold as ice.
"Your information is wrong. This person is capable of killing a master with seven leaves; it's impossible that he only opened two leaves."
"As you saw, when your expert made his move, Ye Kang was already at the four-leaf stage. Do you think I could have predicted such a terrifying cultivation speed?"
"waste!"
The woman spat out her curses without any mercy, her eyes filled with disdain as she looked at Yun Xiaoyao.
"You've done a terrible job. The Raging Waves Society has been exposed, and Ye Kang is now on guard. Once he informs the Soaring Heaven Temple, do you know what the consequences will be!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Xiaoyao couldn't help but chuckle self-deprecatingly.
"Am I a piece of trash? A dignified Seven Leaves expert can't even beat a minor official under my command. How much better can you people from the Outer Seas be?"
