Chapter 1237: Chapter 1237 - 1222: Ye Zhen’s Sigh

Watching the bones of the Void-Breaking Black Tiger King, whose body length exceeded a kilometer, being effortlessly taken away by Ye Zhen, Lord Xitian’s mouth twitched once again, unable to resist bursting into a mournful wail.

Along the way, the hills made of Mid-grade Spirit Stones were all taken by Ye Zhen, numbering over a million Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

The small mountain of High Grade Spiritual Stones at the innermost part was also entirely taken by Ye Zhen.

As for the exquisite boxes filled with pearl jade gems, Ye Zhen didn’t even glance at them, sweeping them all into his storage ring.

At this moment, Lord Xitian had the urge to charge forward and fight to the death with this eunuch Zhao Zhong.

The treasures in this Clan Guardian Secret Vault had been slowly accumulated by the family over generations. If the family ever declined, as long as it wasn’t a crime of treason or rebellion, these treasures could definitely help Xitian Jie Family rise again.

But now, he could only watch helplessly as those treasures were taken away by Ye Zhen.

In less than an hour, the Clan Guardian Secret Vault of the Jie Family was emptied. Even Zhao Zhong looked at Ye Zhen with a peculiar gaze; the capacity of Ye Zhen’s storage ring was simply too vast!

Ye Zhen smirked, carefully avoiding looking at the Immortal Battle Soul behind the light curtain, which injured his Spirit Palace with just a glance, and greedily gazed at the armor and weapons exuding a mysterious aura placed behind the tributor’s seat.

And those thousands of huge boxes stacked neatly, anyone could tell with their feet that they contained good stuff inside.

Lord Xitian, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, jumped in front of Ye Zhen, tremblingly said, "Don’t even think about those things behind the tributor’s seat!

Even if you kill me, I won’t let you touch them!"

"Captain Ye, the things behind here really shouldn’t be touched. If moved, disturb certain people in the War Soul Hall, the trouble will be huge. If it goes wrong, we’ll all be doomed!" Zhao Zhong advised.

Seeing Zhao Zhong speaking so solemnly, Ye Zhen was taken aback and indeed gave up on the things behind the tributor’s seat, waved his hand grandly, "Lord Xitian, alright, take us to your private vault!"

"Still not full?" Lord Xitian was a bit dazed.

Ye Zhen casually patted his own Red Moon Soul Ring and said, "Far from it, not even a third full yet!"

"Not even a third full?"

"Poof!"

Lord Xitian looked at the empty Clan Guardian Secret Vault and spat out blood in shock.

Zhao Zhong, on the other hand, was absent-mindedly playing with the large ruby ring on his hand, looking at Ye Zhen’s Red Moon Soul Ring with a thoughtful expression.

Now that even the Clan Guardian Secret Vault was taken, the private vault, the Royal Palace Treasure Vault, and even the national treasury of Lord Xitian were not a concern anymore.

For a noble like him with a fiefdom, life is the most important thing.

A commandery might not seem much, but in the eyes of the officials of Great Zhou, a commandery is a million miles wide, as long as one is alive, it won’t be long before he can amass great wealth again.

So, despite being heartbroken, Lord Xitian obediently took Ye Zhen to scour his private vault, the Royal Palace Treasure Vault of Xitian County.

Lord Xitian’s private vault actually wasn’t big, holding mainly some of Lord Xitian’s personal items, which was a bargain for Zhao Zhong the eunuch.

Because Lord Xitian’s private vault mostly contained those shiny various gemstones, pearls, and jade!

Many things, Ye Zhen hadn’t even seen before.

What truly surprised Ye Zhen was the Royal Palace Treasure Vault of Xitian County!

Aside from a large amount of gold, silver, pearls, and jade, the Royal Palace Treasure Vault mostly stored military armory.

To be precise, sets of standard spiritual artifacts!

A hundred sets of mid-grade standard soul artifacts, armor, weapons, crossbows, a three-piece set!

Also, a thousand sets of low-grade standard soul artifacts, fifty thousand sets of high-grade standard spiritual artifacts.

These sets of standard military arms could allow Lord Xitian to form a powerful army in a very short time, but now, they all went to Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen even took away ten siege crossbows!

A siege crossbow was about a hundred thirty meters long, eleven meters high, and fifty meters wide, extremely cumbersome!

This siege crossbow is a simplified version of the regulated weapon Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Crossbow, in terms of power, it has eighty percent of the Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Crossbow, but loading is troublesome, after firing once, reloading takes a hundred breaths, much slower compared to the Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Crossbow’s speed.

Most importantly, to start this thing, at least twenty people are needed to operate it once.

Also due to its heaviness and complicated use, it’s generally only used for defending or laying siege.

However, Ye Zhen still took ten of them, this thing, if used well, can have miraculous effects at certain times.

Next were various consumable crossbow bolts.

Siege crossbow cannons, crossbow bolts stacked with countless Talisman Patterns, though lacking the level of lethal weapons like Flame Spirit Burst Demon Arrow and Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbow, ordinary Demon-Annihilating Crossbows and Demon-Annihilating Arrows are available.

If those things were to cover the sky and land, they’d be extremely terrifying too.

Pills, talisman scrolls, all kinds of powerful talisman scrolls written on large pieces of beast hide, various military array plates, all sorts of strange and peculiar pills, including toxic pills, enchanted pills, and aphrodisiac pills.

Anyway, as long as Ye Zhen found it useful, he took a portion, just in case it might come in handy someday.

To be honest, the collection in the royal palace treasure vault of Xitian County left Ye Zhen utterly shocked.

This Xitian County is merely an insignificant county on the Primordial Continent, yet its collection is so vast. In terms of value, it’s far greater than all the wealth Ye Zhen has acquired over the years on the True Profound Continent.

So just how wealthy are those marquises, dukes, and princes with extensive fiefdoms?

And what kind of spectacle is the Great Zhou Empire, which is rich with the entire world?

An hour later, Ye Zhen suddenly let out a reluctant sigh.

The royal palace treasure vault of Xitian County was simply too large; the things within this vast underground space were too numerous for Ye Zhen to collect them all.

Only one-fourth of the treasure vault had been loaded, and Ye Zhen’s Red Moon Soul Ring was almost full.

Compared to his other mid and low-grade Spirit Rings, their capacity couldn’t even compare to the Red Moon Soul Ring at all.

Previously, Ye Zhen thought the Red Moon Soul Ring was quite large, hard to fill no matter how much he packed in.

But today, Ye Zhen only felt that the Red Moon Soul Ring was too small. It would be great if it were dozens of times larger!

The pity is that with every grade the storage ring rises, the Space Magic Gold needed multiplies several times.

With the grade of a mid-grade soul artifact like the Red Moon Soul Ring, advancing another grade would require over a hundred jin of Space Magic Gold.

Normally, this stuff is sold by the liang.

The difficulty speaks for itself.

Finally, Ye Zhen could only look at the treasures within the royal palace treasure vault with regret, while Lord Xitian trembled at the sight.

The royal palace treasure vault had been emptied by a third, yet it’s still not enough?

"Let’s go, Lord Xitian, take a walk around the national treasury!" Ye Zhen said.

"Still going?" Lord Xitian shivered, "Isn’t your storage ring full? We had an agreement!"

"Hey, I left a little space. Who knows, there might be something good in the national treasury that I need?" Ye Zhen said.

Fifteen minutes later, Ye Zhen, Lord Xitian, and Zhao Zhong arrived at the first-number warehouse in Xitian County!

It was a massive warehouse, ten li in length and five li in width. According to Lord Xitian, there are over ten thousand such warehouses in Xitian County!

The national treasury stored all the common goods, several grades below the royal palace treasure vault, and after a round, Ye Zhen saw nothing of interest.

"King Jie, why did I not find any Psychic Spirit Pills after visiting so many treasure vaults?" Ye Zhen asked.

"Precious items like the Psychic Spirit Pill, who would keep them in the treasure vaults, usually they are......" Before he finished speaking, Lord Xitian, realizing he had misspoken due to fatigue, quickly stopped, "Mainly because there’s too few....."

Before Lord Xitian could finish his sentence, Ye Zhen reached out, "Well, just according to your previous condition, five hundred, five hundred Psychic Spirit Pills!"

"No way!" Lord Xitian’s rage suddenly flared, "According to the agreement, you can take anything available in the treasure vault, but what’s not there......"

"King Jie, listen carefully, just give me another five hundred Psychic Spirit Pills, and we’ll settle everything between us! And my deal with Her Highness the Princess can remain effective! Once I get those five hundred Psychic Spirit Pills, I’ll hand over the antidote for the Zombie Powder immediately!" Ye Zhen said.

Upon hearing this, Lord Xitian sighed long!

His life was in Ye Zhen’s hands, and behind Ye Zhen was the backing of Marquis Xingqing, so he had no choice!

No choice but to hand over the previously promised five hundred Psychic Spirit Pills.

Actually, for Xitian County, they could only obtain a maximum of a thousand Psychic Spirit Pills a year, using a portion for their own cultivation and rewards for subordinates, leaving them with very little stock.

"The antidote, enough antidote!" Holding the Psychic Spirit Pills, with an expression of handing cash on delivery.

Ye Zhen was not in a hurry, explored with his Divine Sense into the Red Moon Soul Ring, slowly found two or three types of pills refined by Shuili Dan King, then combined them all, finally injecting a bit of Yimu Spiritual Power, and only then handed over the freshly made antidote to Lord Xitian.

Playing the full act, the reputation of Zombie Powder couldn’t afford to be ruined, so this antidote had to look decent.

"Everyone should take one antidote; the poison of Zombie Powder will no longer continue to deteriorate. Before the residual poison is completely dissolved, depending on personal cultivation, it may take around seven to ten days.

During these seven to ten days, you still cannot mobilize any Spiritual Power, but this situation will gradually improve." Ye Zhen carefully instructed.

Leaving behind five hundred Psychic Spirit Pills, Lord Xitian quickly left. He wouldn’t dare take the antidote immediately, but he had plenty of people to test it on.

"Captain Ye, according to the agreement, isn’t it a fifty-fifty split? The treasures that couldn’t fit with me were stored with Captain Ye...." Zhao Zhong’s face shone brightly as he looked at Ye Zhen.

"Of course, not a single cent less for you, senior! However, afterward, I hope you will continue to take good care of me!" Though it pained Ye Zhen, he still took out a large amount of wealth and divided it with Zhao Zhong.

Having said that, without Zhao Zhong, Ye Zhen’s gain today might not even be a fraction of what it was.

"Haha, it’s my pleasure. People like Captain Ye, straightforward and bold, are those I am very fond of!" Zhao Zhong smiled to the point where his eyes nearly vanished.
