"Four pieces of Deep Sea Pine Nuts, each worth two hundred points, totaling eight hundred points!" The Grand Steward, Chen Pi, announced once more. However, this ti, he couldn’t help his eyelids twitching.
Another point!
Ye Zhen’s points were once again one point higher than the Young Palace Master of Xuanshui Palace, Leng Kang!
Four consecutive tis, Ye Zhen’s points managed to surpass Leng Kang by one point each ti, sothing that isn’t easily achieved. It requires a wealth of Spiritual dicine in hand to accomplish this so effortlessly.
Gai Li was sowhat at a loss, and after, his gaze carried a hint of bitterness.
What the heck is this all about? Ye Zhen and Leng Kang competing back and forth, and in the end, they knocked him out of the top three.
He wanted to cry but there were no tears!
The Green Robe Dragon King, Yuh Changkong, was also sowhat astonished by Ye Zhen’s grand display, but his points remained leading by a long margin. He did feel so sympathy for Gai Li’s undeserved misfortune, yet did not worry.
Leng Kang kept a fixed stare at the four pieces of Deep Sea Pine Nuts, his handso face now darker than it could ever be, his eyes almost about to bleed at the corners.
Each ti, just one more point to surpass his score, over four consecutive tis!
To Leng Kang, it was like a slap on the face, causing him embarrassnt!
To Leng Kang, the focus was no longer on being in the top three, but rather on his reputation.
Being repeatedly teased by Ye Zhen was an utter disgrace to Leng Kang.
"Very well, very well!"
Leng Kang gritted his lips and vented his anger at Ye Zhen, "I will rember this matter, you....."
"You’ve rembered it, rembered what?
Do you really think I’m intentionally ssing with you? I’m actually sparing you so dignity here!
Unfortunately, you just don’t appreciate it!" Before Leng Kang could finish, Ye Zhen angrily interrupted.
"What does it matter if it’s one point more, open your eyes wide and take a good look!"
With a cold laugh, a flash of brilliance appeared in Ye Zhen’s palm as he placed a Spiritual dicine in front of Leng Kang.
Imdiately afterwards, the brilliance flashed again and again, and more and more Spiritual dicines were placed in front of Leng Kang in succession.
Shuili Island’s Grand Steward, Chen Pi, was quite the character at this point. Whether out of professional habit or intentionally, with each Spiritual dicine Ye Zhen placed, Chen Pi casually reported Ye Zhen’s total points!
"Five thousand seven hundred and thirty points!"
"Sea Suppression Great Saint’s points accumulated to five thousand nine hundred and ninety!"
"Sea Suppression Great Saint’s points accumulated to six thousand two hundred!"
"Sea Suppression Great Saint’s points accumulated to six thousand four hundred!"
......
"Sea Suppression Great Saint’s points accumulated to nine thousand three hundred!" With each Spiritual dicine Ye Zhen presented, Chen Pi would report the points, leaving everyone in a daze and Leng Kang’s face looking all the more unpleasant!
This wasn’t just adding points; it was like slapping him in the face, and compared to the previous four tis, Ye Zhen’s series of Martial Arts slapped on Leng Kang’s face echoing with crisp claps.
It was like a swelling direct hit!
With this, Leng Kang’s earlier ruthless words suddenly seed miserly!
Look, Ye Zhen even spared you so dignity, yet you still wanted to talk tough, now you really got slapped, and slapped hard with crisp sound?
That’s all your own doing!
Leng Kang felt that the martial artists in the crowd watching surely thought this.
This thought was even more terrifying and infuriating than getting slapped; it wasn’t about slapping his face anymore but accusing him of character!
As for Gai Li, he had nothing left to say, admitting defeat wholeheartedly, as Ye Zhen’s points had exceeded what he could surpass!
The rest, mostly shocked by Ye Zhen’s grand display, were stunned beyond words.
Is that Spiritual dicine like large carrots?
Does Ye Zhen really have to display them like this?
The most shocked of all was Green Robe Dragon King, Yuh Changkong, who watched helplessly as his first-place points slipped from his grasp, taken by Ye Zhen.
When Ye Zhen’s points just surpassed his, he considered bringing out so of the rare Spiritual dicine he had planned to keep for himself to compete.
But seeing Ye Zhen’s posture later, he abandoned that thought.
With Ye Zhen’s approach, even if he brought out all his precious stash of Spiritual dicines, he wouldn’t be able to compete with Ye Zhen!
When Ye Zhen’s points rose to nine thousand, Yuh Changkong was left in shock, nothing but shock!
His ti spent collecting Spiritual dicine underwater wasn’t long, but his depth was considerable, a single harvest equaled several hours of other martial artists’ gains.
Plus, he had spent all his savings later to buy masses of Spiritual dicine to ensure his ranking, even seeking aid from Alliance Hierarch Jie Tianhe.
But Ye Zhen? He seed to have done nothing, yet easily took the first place!
What they didn’t know was that the Spiritual dicine in Ye Zhen’s hand was a compilation of all the Spiritual dicines from more than a dozen experts.
Ye Zhen had slain six martial artists from Stars Tower and one Dragon King from the Dragon Alliance Nine Domains, yielding significant harvests from these seven.
Upon leaving the sea surface, Ye Zhen had slain another seven Establishnt Kings ready to rob him.
The yields from these seven were another substantial inco, not to ntion, Ye Zhen had explored four thousand miles deep underwater, the truly treasured Spiritual dicines hadn’t even been shown.
Therefore, Ye Zhen gathering more than nine thousand points worth of Spiritual dicine, was only natural.
If Ye Zhen is willing, gathering an additional eight or nine thousand points wouldn’t be impossible.
The Dao Realm experts in the audience were also dumbfounded. They’ve seen incredible things before, but never sothing this astonishing.
As for the Sea-Breaking Great Saint, he seed accustod to it.
If his fourth brother didn’t do sothing astonishing, that would be unusual.
These were rely everyone’s thoughts, while Ye Zhen continued to sneer at Leng Kang and frantically auction spiritual dicines one by one.
Grand Steward Chen Pi was still reporting the points.
"Sea-Breaking Great Saint’s points accumulated to nine thousand seven hundred!"
"Sea-Breaking Great Saint’s points accumulated to ten thousand three hundred..."
Chen Pi was reporting smoothly when Ye Zhen suddenly stopped his actions and then gave Chen Pi an apologetic smile.
"Uh, Chief Overseer Chen, made a mistake there, this six hundred points Coral Purple Ginseng, got the wrong item, I take it back, I take it back!"
Saying this, Ye Zhen picked up the Coral Purple Ginseng he had just placed on the table, intending to return it to his Storage Ring. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared before him, and Shuili Dan King, exuding a dicinal aroma, abruptly appeared and held down Ye Zhen’s hand.
"No, this cannot be taken back!" Shuili Dan King said urgently.
"Cannot?"
Ye Zhen’s expression suddenly changed, "King Peng Dan, what does that an? Didn’t you say earlier that collecting spiritual dicine and whether to present it is purely voluntary? Are you going back on your word?"
Upon hearing this, the faces of those around them drastically changed, and Grand Steward Chen Pi’s expression beca stern, shouting, "Impudence!"
Shuili Dan King waved Chen Pi away and hurriedly explained, "I spoke too hastily!"
"Sea Suppression Great Saint, this Coral Purple Ginseng is a spiritual dicine that I have sought in vain many tis, even sending people into the sea multiple tis without success. I hope Sea Suppression Great Saint can spare it!
The points for this Coral Purple Ginseng will be doubled, if not tripled!" Shuili Dan King hurriedly promised.
Ye Zhen’s expression softened slightly, but he shook his head, "King Peng Dan, do you think I’m currently lacking in Spirit Crystals or points?"
"This..."
Shuili Dan King was taken aback. Judging from Ye Zhen’s deanor, he definitely didn’t seem to lack Spirit Crystals. Moreover, with over nine thousand Spirit Crystal points accumulated, he was quite wealthy and shouldn’t lack Spirit Crystals.
As for spirit dicine points, Ye Zhen was currently in first place, exceeding the previous leader by a large margin, suggesting he didn’t need them either.
The implication was disagreent.
Having clarified this point, Shuili Dan King paused for a mont and then said, "It’s my mistake!
Despite that, I still hope Ye can spare this Coral Sea Cucumber for and also inform of the approximate depth and location it was collected from. Just consider it a favor from , how about that?"
Upon hearing this, an uproar arose among the more than ten thousand martial artists!
Not only were the ordinary martial artists stunned, but even Jie Tianhe, Ou Tu, Yang Ben, Hei Tian, and others in Shangdan Building were astonished in an instant.
The Sea-Breaking Great Saint was further surprised with an open mouth, unaware his saliva was dripping.
A favor from Shuili Dan King!
Many people dream of such a benefit.
Given Shuili Dan King’s trustworthy nature and commanding presence, this favor was incredibly valuable!
Only a fool would reject such an offer.
Of course, Ye Zhen was certainly no fool.
Thus, Ye Zhen cheerfully handed over the Coral Sea Cucumber to Shuili Dan King.
"Ye, I’ll rember this favor!" Shuili Dan King’s tone even changed.
As he accepted the Coral Sea Cucumber, Shuili Dan King’s heart ached at the thought of handling such a spiritual dicine poorly. Using one’s hand to take it was simply squandering a precious resource.
With pained eyes, Shuili Dan King quickly processed the item and carefully stored the Coral Sea Cucumber in a Jade Box, securing it with multiple layers of seals before feeling satisfied.
"Ye, this is my Talisman Lead and Token! Whenever you need to repay this favor, you can send a Talisman Communication or bring this Token to visit directly, and I will do my utmost to assist!
But rember, it’s only once!" Shuili Dan King held up one finger.
The sound of people swallowing filled the air.
Even though the favor was limited to one occurrence, its value was priceless!
If it weren’t specifically specified for Ye Zhen to use personally, after the Shangdan conference, martial artists worldwide might hunt down Ye Zhen.
Shuili Dan King, wise in his actions, made a public declaration to protect Ye Zhen.
Otherwise, although Shuili Dan King’s favor was invaluable, it would bring endless trouble.
"Thank you, King Peng Dan!" Ye Zhen clasped his hands. "This Coral Sea Cucumber was harvested from sea sand at the middle section of the underwater canyon at a depth of 3,500 miles. Before collection, it was completely buried by sea sand. However, so surrounding sand was slightly red, requiring careful observation."
Upon hearing the location, Shuili Dan King was quite grateful and nodded toward Ye Zhen. In the future, collecting this Coral Sea Cucumber wouldn’t be as aimless as before, knowing the general area.
Moreover, the red sea sand was an especially important feature.
After expressing thanks, Shuili Dan King turned to leave. Just after taking two steps, he suddenly turned back to Ye Zhen, with an amazed look.
"Ye, are you saying you can dive to a depth of 3,500 miles under the sea?" Shuili Dan King reacted.
"Uh, sort of!"
"Did you discover any trace of the Xuanming Treasure Tree?" Shuili Dan King asked eagerly.
"This..." Ye Zhen hesitated! (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndation tickets, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian to read.)
