Chapter 1055

Just as the Ke Lan clan was mourning as a whole, inside the ancestral land, a Ke Lan clan powerhouse suddenly shouted.

"Ancestor, here............"

"How is it?"

Hearing this, the two Great Emperor Ancestors of the Ke Lan clan flashed over to the back of the ancient stele, seeing only a few large characters carved on the dim, lightless stele.

"Not respecting the Upper Tribe, to serve as punishment."

"Huh???"

Just eight simple words, yet they made every member of the Ke Lan clan burn with rage.

"Upper Tribe? It's the Stone Tribe, the Stone Tribe did it."

"Damn it, why, why would they do this?"

"Let's fight them to the death."

"Among the Ke Lan clan, only the Stone Tribe calls itself the Upper Tribe; the enraged Ke Lan clan immediately thought it was the Stone Tribe's doing."

"However, the two Great Emperor Ancestors remained relatively calm; based solely on these few words, nothing could be proven."

"Quiet."

One of the Ancestors bellowed coldly; hearing this, everyone finally quieted down.

Trying to make the Ke Lan clan believe all this was the Stone Tribe's doing based on just a few words is naturally impossible.

But the disgust is real; just then, a Ke Lan clansperson found some treasures unique to the Stone Tribe elsewhere in the ancestral land.

"Is this the Stone Tribe's Stone Heart?"

Seeing these treasures, the faces of the Ke Lan clan grew ever uglier; their presence here shows the Stone Tribe definitely came.

"Why would they come to our Ke Lan ancestral land instead of their own?"

This even made the two Great Emperor Ancestors of the Ke Lan clan look grim, and they couldn't help but wonder: could it really have been the Stone Tribe?

"Otherwise, what's the deal with these Stone Hearts?"

Although they still didn't jump to conclusions, the seed of doubt had already been planted.

Unaware of what was happening in the Ke Lan clan, at this moment, under the leadership of Qi Xiong, Yun Luo Shèngzhǔ and others, everyone finally arrived at the Human Race ancestral land.

Compared to the Ke Lan ancestral land, the Human Race ancestral land is larger in area and more magnificent and imposing.

The fortune golden dragon coiling in the sky above shines with golden light, full of imposing might.

Upon entering the ancestral land, Qi Xiong and the others first fused all of the Ke Lan clan's fortune into the Human Race's fortune golden dragon.

As the Ke Lan clan's fortune merged, the Human Race's fortune golden dragon let out a heaven-shaking angry roar.

Its already huge form swelled even more.

"Not bad, the fortune surged by about twenty percent."

It sounds small, but this is based on the Human Race's existing fortune.

Originally, the Human Race's fortune was at least several times, even up to ten or more times that of the Ke Lan clan; to increase it by twenty percent all at once is already extremely exaggerated.

Qi Xiong, Yun Luo Shèngzhǔ and the others were very pleased with this.

Having settled the fortune golden dragon matter, next up is the spirit ingredients.

Everyone had been looking forward to this, so as soon as they settled their lodgings, they all sought out Ye Zhangqing.

"Forefather of Food, this is the spirit ingredient I caught."

"Me too, me too, I caught two."

"I have one."

Everyone handed over the captured spirit ingredients to Ye Zhangqing, their eyes full of anticipation, looking eager for the feast.

Ye Zhangqing also gave a helpless wry smile.

"We haven't even set up the stove yet."

"What's the problem? Forefather, rest; we'll handle these small matters."

Ye Zhangqing's residence is an independent courtyard, its standard not lacking compared to that of Qi Xiong, Yun Luo Shèngzhǔ and the others.

With everyone working together, a kitchen was quickly erected.

Although it is somewhat simple, as the saying goes, 'though the sparrow is small, it has all five viscera'; nothing essential is missing.

Seeing everyone so enthusiastic, Ye Zhangqing could only start cooking.

This time, there were no helpers from the Spirit Chef Alliance; only Bai Hua Xianzi, Jue Ying, and Xu Jie were with him.

Fortunately, the number of people is not large, at most ten thousand, so the pressure is not great.

The three didn't know how to handle the spirit ingredients, so Ye Zhangqing had to do it himself while also teaching them how to process them.

While preparing the ingredients, Ye Zhangqing casually asked a question.

"Third Shī xiōng, what did you carve on the ancient stele in the Ke Lan ancestral land just now?"

Others didn't notice, but Ye Zhangqing saw Xu Jie acting furtively, not knowing what he was up to.

Hearing this, Xu Jie laughed indifferently.

"Nothing much, just wanted to disgust them a bit."

"Huh???"

Immediately, Xu Jie told Ye Zhangqing in full about carving characters on the stele and deliberately leaving some Stone Tribe treasures.

The Stone Tribe treasures Xu Jie obtained from Qi Xiong.

Before, the elders from Yun Xiantai had visited each tribe and brought back many treasures.

Among them were Stone Tribe items, so obtaining a few Stone Tribe-exclusive treasures was no big deal.

After hearing Xu Jie's explanation, Ye Zhangqing gave him a strange look.

"We wiped out the Ke Lan ancestral land, and you still want to frame the Stone Tribe? This................"

After a long silence, Ye Zhangqing finally said slowly.

"Shèngzhǔ's evaluation of you is not bad."

"Ah?"

"Nothing."

Qi Xiong said Xu Jie's heart was unprecedented in ancient times, and Ye Zhangqing now feels that there will likely be none after either.

This bastard is full of dirty tricks, always ready to screw people over.

I'm not sure if the Ke Lan Tribe will believe this, after all, this method is too crude, with too many loopholes.

But just as Xu Jie said, he didn't really expect it to succeed, but the disgust is definitely disgusting—no doubt about that.

One is from the Upper Tribe, the other from the Attached Tribe; they haven't even met yet, and Xu Jie is already trying to sow discord—truly impressive.

In that situation, probably only he would think of these things; nobody else would.

While chatting idly, Ye Zhangqing was handling the primordial spirit ingredients.

The way to handle soul ingredients is completely different from other ingredients.

First, it needs to be refined with spirit fire, completely refining the spirit body and ensuring it does not dissipate.

Strands of primordial spirit were thrown into the Scarlet Yang Heavenly Flame, quickly being refined into clumps of pure spirit body.

At this point, calling them souls is no longer accurate; it's like a plucked chicken.

Xu Jie and the others beside him watched, curious, and wondered if they could even do that.

Then came the cooking; the system had already provided the method, and Ye Zhangqing was making soul ingredients for the first time, inevitably curious.

The preparation method is no different from other ingredients; the only difference is the seasoning.

But this time's seasoning was a free gift from the system; from now on, Ye Zhangqing will have to find it himself.

All in all, this first encounter with soul ingredients left Ye Zhangqing feeling quite novel.

Moreover, as Ye Zhangqing cooked, an indescribable fragrance gradually spread; smelling it, Xu Jie immediately drooled.

"This fragrance... is completely different from before; it feels like even the soul is hungry."

I've never smelled such a fragrance before; even the dishes Ye Zhangqing made earlier had a fragrance completely different from this, and the difference is essential.
