Zi… zizizi…
Who knew that Ye Hantian’s question could cause the system to make a brief electric sound?
Its piercing volume caused Ye Hantian to frown.
Just as Ye Hantian felt that the system noise in his mind was a bit unbearable, the system suddenly returned to normal. “In order to obtain relevant information, you need to pay 500 spirit beads. Do you want to inquire about it?”
“You…” The system’s reaction almost made Ye Hantian laugh angrily.
But ever since he got this system, it had always been money-seeking.
He also knew that if he didn’t give it, the system would refuse to say it.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and nodded. “You can deduct it yourself!”
“Okay.” The system reacted very quickly. The next moment, Ye Hantian felt that 500 spirit beads were missing from the spirit beads he had placed in the system’s storage compartment.
That’s right. The system also had a storage compartment. Its usefulness was much different from Lou Xingyao’s personal space.
Not only could it store items, but it could also store living things. Ye Hantian could enter it if he wanted.
The only difference was that this storage compartment couldn’t plant anything, let alone have something like the beneficial spiritual spring.
Ye Hantian could dislike the simplicity of Lou Xingyao’s portable space, let alone the bare storage compartment of the system.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, Ye Hantian only used it as a storage bag with a relatively large space and high security. He didn’t like to enter it.
After the spirit beads disappeared, Ye Hantian got the system’s answer. “The formation disc accidentally entered Tianming Continent through a spatial crack, so it isn’t affected by the rules of the world.”
“And then?” Ye Hantian hurriedly asked.
“There is no more.” The system simply answered.
“What is the difference between you saying it and not saying it?” If it wasn’t for the fact that this system had no form, Ye Hantian would’ve punched it by now.
“I told you the origin of the formation.” The system felt that Ye Hantian’s anger was a bit strange.
“I want to know how this formation disc came to be here, the cause and effect! You told me the cause, but what about the effect?” Ye Hantian continued to output angrily.
“Insufficient permissions.” The system simply rejected him.
“Then give me back the spirit beads!” Ye Hantian couldn’t accept the system deducting 500 spirit beads for such inexplicable words.
“The energy in the spirit bead was exhausted when the information was obtained and it can’t be returned.” The system rejected him again.
“You f*king…” Ye Hantian finally couldn’t help cursing angrily.
Ever since the last time the system took 3,000 spirit beads from him, he had managed to save 1,000 spirit beads after a few years of frugality.
Now he inexplicably used half of it. How could he accept it?
As a result, no matter how much Ye Hantian called out, the system acted as if it was dead and no longer gave any response. Ye Hantian couldn’t hold back and directly punched the transparent barrier in front of him.
Let alone causing any ripples in the barrier, but his knuckles were smashed painfully.
Ye Hantian’s anger burst out again.
Don’t look at the fact that Ye Hantian didn’t show much respect in his words when facing the third elder just now. He still knew that no matter how bad the other person was, the third elder was a golden core cultivator.
There was no way to break this barrier, and he was even more helpless once the system started to play dead.
In the end, he could only glare at this very quiet courtyard with hatred and unwillingly returned to the inn where he was staying.
The moment he went back, more bad news followed. “What? The third elder is gone? When?”
“Half an hour again.” He Wanqing was very indifferent compared to Ye Hantian’s irritability.
There was no pause in her action of making tea.
This was a young lady carefully cultivated by the family, and her every move contained a special rhythm, showing her elegance.
However, Ye Hantian wasn’t very interested in appreciating this pleasing picture. He asked repeatedly, “Is he gone? If he is gone, what about my experience?”
“The fifth elder is still here.” He Wanqing slowly fiddled with the charcoal fire burning under the teapot. “I will also go with you.”
“How can this be the same? The fifth elder is only in the late stage of foundation building!” Ye Hantian hurriedly retorted, his words full of dissatisfaction about the cultivation level of the fifth elder.
Ye Hantian realized his mistake the moment the words were spoken.
It was because He Wanqing was also in the foundation building realm, and it was only the early stage. This was even worse than the fifth elder.
He Wanqing’s family background wasn’t bad, and her talent was okay. She might have the stain of being previously engaged, but he was willing to endure it for her beautiful face and figure that was superior to ordinary people.
So Ye Hantian was willing to give a little face to He Wanqing and hurriedly explained, “I mean, aren’t we going to the Endless Forest for training this time? The cultivation of the fifth elder might not be able to thoroughly protect us.”
At this time, it had been a few years since Ye Hantian recognized his ancestors and returned to the family. He Wanqing had long had a full understanding of Ye Hantian’s temperament, and her expression didn’t change at all. “I know, but the third elder said he has something important to discuss with the head of the Zhou family. He wasn’t willing to stay even a moment longer.”
“What could be more important than my breakthrough to foundation building?” Ye Hantian frowned in a dissatisfied manner.
Ever since he returned to the family, it could be said that he got whatever he wanted in the Zhou family.
Even his outrageous request of asking for 3,000 spirit beads was satisfied.
It must be known that he had just returned to the Zhou family at that time.
His father, the old head of the Zhou family, looked like he wanted to kill Ye Hantian when hearing this request, but he still sent it over the next day as requested.
The same was true of this training experience.
He just said he wanted to come to the Endless Forest to seek an opportunity to break through to foundation building, and the Zhou family’s head became nervous. He directly asked the golden core third elder to escort Ye Hantian.
If it wasn’t for that, Ye Hantian wouldn’t be so fearless when facing the third elder.
Who knew that he was now one step too late, and this powerful bodyguard would just leave?
“The third elder didn’t say anything. He only said that this matter was very important and he had to go back.” He Wanqing shook her head.
In fact, He Wanqing had seen the third elder’s expression when he left and knew that it was probably quite a big matter.
However, she only had a marriage contract and hadn’t fulfilled the marriage yet. She wasn’t considered a true member of the Zhou family, and it wasn’t good for her to ask too much.
“Did the third elder say when he is coming back?” Ye Hantian asked again.
“No.” He Wanqing glanced at Ye Hantian very strangely. She couldn’t understand why the other person had to ask the third elder to follow.
The opportunities in the center of the Endless Forest were indeed more abundant than the outskirts, but currently Ye Hantian was only at the eighth level of qi condensation. The outskirts of the Endless Forest could already meet Ye Hantian’s needs for a breakthrough.
Ye Hantian’s insistence on going to the center was truly baffling.
“Forget it, you won’t understand!” Ye Hantian also knew that He Wanqing might notice something if he continued to talk about it. In the end, he could only wave his hands and return to his room while suppressing all types of thoughts in his heart.
The moment he closed the door, Ye Hantian immediately called out in his mind, “System, are you there?”
Ye Hantian didn’t mention the matter of recovering the spirit beads, and the system no longer pretended to be dead. “I am here.”
“Can this experience be canceled first?” Ye Hantian hurriedly asked.
“Cancellation isn’t recommended.” The system didn’t hesitate and gave the answer directly.
“But you must’ve heard it just now. The third elder is gone, and there is only the fifth elder in the foundation building realm. How can I get that thing!” Ye Hantian immediately couldn’t help complaining.
Yes, there was indeed a reason why Ye Hantian wanted to go to the middle of the Endless Forest to take a look.
It had to be mentioned that the system also had a detection function.
As long as it was a place that Ye Hantian had been, the system could detect the existence of any heavenly treasures within a radius of ten miles.
The last time he went to get the spiritual cleansing grass, the system had marked a lot of treasures on the map.
Among them, there was a thousand year old stalactite essence that could increase cultivation and the main ingredient of the foundation building pill, the foundation grass.
In addition, what made Ye Hantian the most exciting was a metal essence grass.
In the system’s description, the metal essence grass bloomed every ten years and bore fruit every one hundred years. This fruit couldn’t be used by cultivators, but after it withered, it would turn into nutrients for the metal essence grass to grow a new leaf.
After repeating this nine times, the metal essence grass could be regarded as fully grown and became the nine-leaf metal essence grass.
A spiritual plant that took nine hundred years to grow naturally had a wonderful use that most spiritual plants didn’t have.
This nine-leaf metal essence grass not only increased cultivation, but it also had the effect of purifying the metal spiritual root. This could be described as a great tonic.
For Ye Hantian, who had a single metal spiritual root, this was very suitable.
That’s right. Due to the system, Ye Hantian knew about the concept of spiritual root purity that came from the big world.
In addition, he knew that the purity of his current body’s spiritual root was only 80%.
According to the system, an 80% purity could be called a heavenly spiritual root genius even in the big world.
However, Ye Hantian had transmigrated and gained a system. He was destined to be a unique protagonist. How could an 80% purity be worthy of his identity?
It must be 100% purity!
Therefore, Ye Hantian absolutely had to obtain this metal essence grass.
