Chapter 413: Gains
Still, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen spent a few days investigating the surroundings.
After making sure there was no demon vine, they exited the first layer of the sealed battlefield and returned to the edge of the empty lake.
"I will message the others to see if anyone is around." Jiang Yue said as they walked towards the camp of the Sea Cloud sect.
"Good." Yu Nianzhen nodded.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yue’s messages went unanswered.
"They should still be exploring." Yu Nianzhen said.
"I hope they have good fortune."
"Mmmm."
Although the two were a little disappointed, they didn’t dwell on it.
Soon after, they passed through the level five defence formation and set up their ancient palace.
"Let’s go to senior Niu."
"Okay." Jiang Yue agreed.
They had learned a lot in the sealed battlefield and wanted to get more details from senior Niu.
When they found the bullock, senior Niu was already expecting them.
[Your luck is not bad.] The bullock said as soon as it saw them.
"We were fortunate to find a few good things." Jiang Yue didn’t deny anything.
"Senior Niu, we found a record by a nascent soul realm cultivator called Bai Xing. He wrote that a gap appeared in the world boundary and space beasts invaded the Cangxing world." Yu Nianzhen started.
Hearing that, senior Niu sighed.
From this sigh, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen felt a wealth of sorrow which made them a little uncomfortable.
[The peace in our Cangxing world is built on the sacrifice of many noble souls. Bai Xing and those in the demonic qi prison are just a few.]
When Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen heard that, they looked at each other and saw the shock in the other’s eyes.
"Does senior Niu mean there was more than one gap in the world boundary?" Yu Nianzhen asked.
[It is what I mean.] The bullock said, with deep sorrow in its eyes.
Looking at it, the two knew that the situation at that time was worse than they could imagine.
"What damaged the world boundary?" Jiang Yue asked.
Although he didn’t know much about the world boundary, he knew a little.
From the little he knew; he couldn’t imagine what kind of power was needed to create many holes in the world boundary.
[When the time comes, you will naturally find out.] The bullock refused to answer.
However, the two could see the fierce anger in its eyes.
From this, they could guess that the damage was not natural or accidental.
’Does our Cangxing world have such a terrible enemy?’ Jiang Yue wondered and his heart grew a little wary.
For some reason, he always felt that he and Yu Nianzhen couldn’t escape the trouble.
He felt that no matter what they did, they were destined to get involved.
’Is this why we came to the Cangxing world? Is the enemy related to the Death Flower Ascension Front?’ Many thoughts flashed in Jiang Yue’s mind and he couldn’t help but be confused.
[What should come will always come.] Yu Nianzhen transmitted and held his husband’s hand.
[I see that your aura is floating, are you ready to advance?] Senior Niu asked.
"That’s another reason we came to find you. Senior Niu, can we go to your dimension to break through?" Jiang Yue asked.
[Good.] The bullock said and immediately transferred them to its secret space.
"This place is as beautiful as ever." Jiang Yue sighed as soon as he saw the sprawling green grassland.
"In the future, we will also have a beautiful place to spend the rest of our lives." Yu Nianzhen said.
"I can’t wait."
After that, the two walked around for a while before sitting on the ground.
"We should have brought the ancient palace into the space." Yu Nianzhen said.
"It’s okay to leave it outside. This way, master and the others will know where we are when they return to the camp."
"You are right." Yu Nianzhen smiled and rubbed Jiang Yue’s hair.
"Azhen, I want to check the things we got from the first layer of the sealed battlefield." Jiang Yue said excitedly.
They stayed in the sealed battlefield for almost fifteen years.
In that time, they got a lot of things but didn’t dare to expose them to demonic qi.
"We can check them before we retreat." Yu Nianzhen agreed.
He was also eager to see the contents of the storage rings they brought back.
After that, both took out the storage rings in their hands and placed them on the ground between them.
"Let’s leave senior Bai’s storage ring for last." Jiang Yue said.
"Okay." Yu Nianzhen said and set Bai Xing’s storage ring aside.
"We have a total of one hundred and twelve storage rings. I don’t know if all the goods are okay." Jiang Yue couldn’t help but worry.
"We will find out when we check them." Yu Nianzhen said and took out the contents of the first storage ring.
"Clothes, pill bottles, books, spirit stones, and a token." Jiang Yue categorised the items.
"The clothes are defence artefacts suitable for nascent soul realm cultivators. Unfortunately, the inscriptions have worn off and they have become ordinary clothes." Jiang Yue observed and put the clothes aside.
"The pills have also gone bad." Yu Nianzhen said.
"We can keep the pills for my master and Hongzhu to study. They may learn something from them."
After that, Yu Nianzhen picked up a book and his face immediately turned ugly.
"What’s wrong?"
"It’s that kind of book." Yu Nianzhen sighed and put the book aside.
"What kind?" Jiang Yue was curious and also picked a book to check.
"This nascent soul realm cultivator was really something." Jiang Yue chuckled and put aside the erotica.
"Fortunately, the spirit stones are still useable." He continued.
Although the other things were disappointing, the spirit stones were a pleasant surprise.
In the Cangxing world, there were mid-grade spirit stones but they were in the hands of nascent soul realm cultivators.
Unexpectedly, the two found two million mid-grade spirit stones in the first storage ring.
"I wonder what this token is for." Jiang Yue picked up the token and played with it.
The token was made of purple metal and had a silver lightning bolt in the centre.
"It could be a sect token." Yu Nianzhen guessed.
"That’s true. It could also be a token to enter a secret realm."
"Let’s put it aside for now."
After that, the two opened a few more storage rings.
Like the first, most of what they found were pills that had gone bad, clothes, miscellaneous books, and spirit stones.
In the ninth storage ring, the two finally found a few precious herbs.
Because the herbs were stored in special jade boxes, they hadn’t lost all their vitality and could be replanted in Yu Nianzhen’s jade box.
"Azhen, why don’t you put some mid-grade spirit stones in the jade box." Jiang Yue suggested.
Among the storage rings they had opened, other than two or three that had low-grade spirit stones, all the others had mid-grade spirit stones.
In total, the two now had eleven million mid-grade spirit stones.
"It won’t be too late to do that after we open all the storage rings."
"Good."
After that, the two continued to open storage rings and discovered another token in the thirteenth storage ring.
"The more I think about it, the more I feel that the tokens are for a secret realm." Jiang Yue said.
"I also think so."
Originally, Yu Nianzhen thought they were sect tokens.
However, under ordinary circumstances, sect tokens were usually worn on the body and not kept in the storage space.
When Yu Nianzhen thought of this, he began to doubt his original guess; especially because they didn’t find other tokens in the storage rings.
"We can ask senior Niu when we come out of seclusion."
"Okay."
It took a whole day for Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen to sort out all their gains.
From the one hundred and twelve storage rings, they gained six hundred and nineteen million midgrade spirit stones, and three billion low-grade spirit stones.
Other than spirit stones, they also gained some herbs which were now replanted in the jade box.
Unfortunately, none of the pills, ordinary weapons, and clothes had survived the ravages of time.
However, the two did find a few extraordinary weapons and inheritances from the storage rings.
"We still have senior Bai’s storage ring." Jiang Yue reminded and Yu Nianzhen immediately opened it.
"Twenty million mid-grade spirit stones." Jiang Yue whistled excitedly.
"He was planning to advance so he should have prepared the spirit stones for that." Yu Nianzhen said and frowned.
"What’s wrong?"
"XiaoYue, have you noticed it?"
"Noticed what?"
"The storage rings which had the most spirit stones also had the purple token." Yu Nianzhen said and pointed at a purple token which he took out from Bai Xing’s storage ring.
"Do you mean..." Jiang Yue couldn’t help but be excited at the implications.
