The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 674 - 284: The Young Emperor from 5000 Years Ago_1

Next, Ye Hanjun had his eyes opened wide.

He was still young and among the crowd, ninety percent of them were his older brothers and sisters.

These people had visited mystical lands, braved perilous areas, and shopped in various markets... All sorts of opportunities had allowed them to accumulate quite decent fortunes.

"Eh, Donger, where did you get this from?"

The trading session had just begun, and everyone’s table was filled with items of all sizes.

These items, either gleaming with radiant light that pierced the sky, or made up of cold bone and jazzed with ghostly air — a feast truly for the eyes, causing many to marvel.

Ye Qiuguo sat next to Ye Dong, watched her painstakingly arranging her treasures. She hadn’t initially been interested, simply glancing over casually.

Unexpectedly, this glance caused her to be completely captivated, staring at a few thin silver cicada wings, her cheeks showing a hint of curiosity.

"Autumn Fruit Sister, this is something I got from the Trial Ground."

Ye Dong blinked her eyes and tilted her head in confusion.

"Isn’t this just a cicada wing from a Silver Origin Cicada? Although it’s valuable, it’s not something that should catch Autumn Fruit Sister’s attention this much, right?"

"No, you are mistaken."

Ye Qiuguo shook her head, putting on a pair of white gloves, and gently picked up the thin cicada wing. After scrutinizing it again, she confirmed:

"This is the ’Cicada Dress’ that the Silver Treasure Cicada Girl shed when she ascended the Heaven and Earth Stage. This species is so rare that these inconspicuous ’Cicada Dresses’... are far more valuable than you can imagine."

"Silver Treasure Cicada Girl? The subhuman race that can continuously create silver treasures?"

Ye Dong exclaimed and leaned in closer for a better look, studying it carefully. Scratching her head, she finally chuckled and said:

"I’ve heard that their unique combat method involves summoning silver treasures, then using these treasures to pelt their enemies’ heads — savage, unreasonable, yet domineering."

"Autumn Fruit Sister seems to really like these cicada dresses. I’ll give them to sister, please don’t be so polite."

"You’re really delightful, you know."

Ye Qiuguo laughed, tapping her forehead with her finger:

"As a big sister, I can’t just accept your treasure for nothing."

"Here, I have a ’Ding Ding Dang Dang Wonderful Treasure Bell’, made by a Refining Weapon Grandmaster. It’s imbued with blessings and protection and helps attract wealth."

"Take it. Wear it with you when you explore relics and treasure sites, you might gain unexpected rewards."

"This sounds fun!"

Ye Dong took the bell, played with it for a while, then put it on her left wrist. With a light flick, it made a crisp sound.

"Wow, young Lord Han, there are so many dragon crystals here!"

"Just like the rumors said, you guys almost cleared out Demon Dragon Island completely. No wonder that place had to be closed off — it won’t reopen for at least a hundred years!"

Ye Buchun, who had an imposing presence, strolled over to the table where Ye Hanjun was sitting. He was scratching the curls under his armpits and was hollering non-stop.

A crowd was drawn over, including Ye Chun, Ye Buyi, and Ye Shan, who all participated in the Demon Dragon Island event.

"I want ten earth elemental dragon crystals from the demon dragon, starting at the Heaven and Earth Stage..."

"I want dragon crystals of the same species, regardless of rank, the more the better..."

After a few random trades, Ye Hanjun almost emptied half of his storage ring’s inventory.

Of course, he and Ye Liuying also gathered some nice Heavenly and Earthly Materials from other people. They planned to make a good push in the last few years.

"I have a chunk of feces here from the Holy Saint Embryo. Any brothers or sisters want to take a look and guess the species?"

Facing the noisy crowd, Ye Buchun activated his storage ring and pulled out a big lump of brown-black substance.

Alert individuals such as Ye Dan, Ye Yunruo, Ye Lingwu... all retreated in unison, creating a distance of several hundred meters in an instant.

"Huh? Why are you running away?"

"Don’t be afraid, the droppings of this thing don’t stink! I wager it’s from a herbivorous species, or it could possibly be directly refining nature’s spiritual energy!"

"There are still a lot of spiritual materials remaining in these excrements, my Contracted Spirit really enjoyed eating it. If you don’t believe me, you can also try it!"

As if to prove his point, Ye Buchun’s armpit showed flashing marks.

The summoned Contracted Spirit was an exceptionally robust large crocodile.

Its body was entirely black, and its surface was covered with hard horn material.

The head was huge and resembled a shark.

With a roar, it threw itself into the feces, sampled a small bite, and after swallowing, its entire body started steaming.

"Brother Buchun, it’s a bit difficult for us to analyze the species of the droppings’ owner."

"But this is a treasure that my Contracted Spirit also relishes. If you’re willing to part with it, I’m willing to buy it at a high price!"

A clan member named "Ye Kai", had his eyes glowing with gold, and he pled urgently.

"Not selling, not selling! This is sufficient for the cayman’s food for five years, not enough to go around!"

Ye Buchun waved his hand, looking all around worriedly as if afraid that someone might snatch it away. He hurriedly took back the feces.

"That’s the feces of the King of Grass Mowing Demons. I’ll purchase it."

A huge, sturdy iron tree suddenly slammed down with a loud noise.

Everyone turned to look at the speaker in unison; it was indeed Ye Qiyu.

He was sitting on the reformed Ice and Snow Throne, originally meditating with his eyes closed.

At this moment he suddenly opened his eyes; there was a dazzling glint in his pupils.

"Ah? This isn’t so good..."

Just as Ye Buchun was about to refuse, he scrutinized the large iron tree carefully and his eyes lit up.

"This is the ’Jin-Ya Treasure Tree’? A Jin-Ya Treasure Tree that’s about seven thousand years old?!"
