Chapter 2578: Supreme Ingredient

The commotion in his mind left Ye Zhangqing momentarily dazed.

This damn system suddenly reacted, or rather it had never before encountered any kind of supreme ingredient.

Ye Zhangqing's gaze naturally fell upon the body of that so-called Sea God.

After all, it was the only thing that had just appeared, and as soon as it appeared, the system reacted—who else could it be?

Through the sea surface, Ye Zhangqing could vaguely make out the general shape of that so-called Sea God, resembling a fish.

And by using his soul to envelop it, Ye Zhangqing couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Where the hell did this salmon come from………

All I saw was that the Sea God Ling Yunyi spoke of had features exactly like the salmon from his previous life, merely scaled up proportionally.

Is this the Sea God? No wonder the system identified it as a supreme ingredient, even higher than the top-tier Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredient.

Isn't salmon delicious? Make some sashimi, and it'll be fragrant to the point of bewilderment.

Just as the Sea God swam to the edge of the altar, the system actually issued a reward, raising his cultivation by a minor realm on the spot.

Hmm???

Huang Lao, standing nearby, was the first to notice Ye Zhangqing's abnormality—his aura suddenly surged; was this a prelude to a breakthrough?

He gave Ye Zhangqing a doubtful glance—this kid's breakthroughs are getting stranger and stranger.

You're watching them perform the rites, and you can also break through?

Fortunately, Huang Lao reacted quickly, immediately waving his hand to envelop Ye Zhangqing, Xu Jie, Zhao Zhengping, and himself together, separating them from the outside world.

This was mainly to prevent anyone from disturbing Ye Zhangqing's breakthrough.

Although this kid's breakthroughs are usually as easy as water flowing into a channel, nothing dangerous has ever occurred.

Still, being cautious is never wrong.

On the contrary, this sudden move left Ling Yunyi beside him momentarily bewildered.

No, what are you guys doing? You were just chatting fine a moment ago.

Now you want to say something that I can't even hear? Are you going to talk behind my back?

Within the light barrier, Ye Zhangqing's breakthrough proceeded smoothly, and he opened the system panel.

His cultivation had already reached Ancient Immortal Realm Minor Completion.

This first encounter with a supreme ingredient also came with an extra reward.

For a moment, Ye Zhangqing liked the Sea God more and more—this wasn't some Sea God at all; it was practically a treasure.

Xu Jie and Zhao Zhengping beside him also sensed Ye Zhangqing's breakthrough, and only after he finished did they speak enviously.

"Junior Brother, you broke through again?"

"A lucky breakthrough."

"You call that luck, then what do we call ours?"

Xu Jie was full of envy; this junior brother's talent truly defies heaven—it was like that in the lower realm, still the same after ascending to the Immortal Realm, and even now, having reached Beyond the Heavens, it remains unchanged.

It's utterly lawless—just break through whenever you want.

However, Ye Zhangqing didn't dwell on this issue; he first glanced at Huang Lao.

Without a word, Huang Lao understood Ye Zhangqing's meaning and gave a slight nod.

Indicating that the space here had already been severed by him, the outside world couldn't possibly detect anything inside—feel free to speak openly.

Huang Lao is the Present Era's Strongest, and coincidentally, the Heavenly Spirit Tribe's Present Era's Strongest is just a dying old coot who isn't present.

Therefore, facing Huang Lao's methods, all the Heavenly Spirit Tribe members present are in no danger whatsoever.

Having received Huang Lao's reply, Ye Zhangqing no longer concerned himself, and immediately turned to Xu Jie and Zhao Zhengping and said.

"Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, let's talk about the breakthrough later—this is trivial; I just discovered another ingredient that can be called supreme-grade."

Hmm???

"A new ingredient?" Hearing this, both were stunned, then their eyes instantly lit up.

Zhao Zhengping is not good with words, but his gaze also explained everything.

As for Xu Jie, he looked around, and without realizing it his gaze locked onto the nearby Heavenly Spirit Tribe members, then he showed a somewhat troubled expression.

"Junior Brother, this isn't right—people treat us as friends, we………………………"

Higher than top-tier ingredients—what a deliciousness that is, hard to imagine.

To say he isn't tempted would be false, but if he were to eat these Heavenly Spirit Tribe members, honestly, Xu Jie really feels reluctant—after all, we're somewhat acquainted.

Just hearing this, Ye Zhangqing's face darkened, and he spoke irritably.

"Third Senior Brother, what are you thinking? We're not perverts—I wasn't talking about the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, but that thing in the sea."

Hmm???

Following Ye Zhangqing's gaze, Xu Jie also saw that Sea God in the sea.

As for that so-called Sea God, Xu Jie is completely uninterested, even feeling contempt.

But now, hearing Ye Zhangqing say that, he became interested.

His eyes blazing, he sized up the Sea God in the sea, swallowed, and spoke.

"Junior Brother, the supreme ingredient you mentioned is this thing?"

"Yes, that's it."

"I mean, just looking at it, it doesn't seem like any god or ghost; at first glance it's clearly something that belongs in the pot."

Ye Zhangqing scanned the Sea God with his divine sense; Xu Jie naturally did the same, knowing this thing is just a big fish—what Sea God, nonsense.

Now, hearing Ye Zhangqing say this guy is food, Xu Jie agreed completely—what else could it be if not food?

Just thinking of Ye Zhangqing's evaluation of the Sea God, Xu Jie couldn't help but feel a surge of heat in his chest.

Good stuff, this is definitely good stuff.

Then he whispered a sentence.

"Junior Brother, you say we've taken this Sea God—can we leave safely?"

Xu Jie isn't worried about anything else now; he's worried that if they openly take this Sea God, the surrounding Heavenly Spirit Tribe might go crazy.

By then, will they still be able to leave here safely?

As for this question, without Ye Zhangqing answering, Huang Lao had already given the answer.

"Don't worry, the Heavenly Spirit Tribe can't stop us."

Huang Lao isn't the slightest bit worried about the Heavenly Spirit Tribe; the whole tribe has only one Present Era's Strongest, and that one is the kind who could die at any moment, with barely a tenth of his strength left.

Being fellow Present Era's Strongests, Huang Lao is confident he can kill him outright.

As for the other Heavenly Spirit Tribe members, although they are numerous and this is their territory, they have come from afar.

Don't forget, our company this time is far more than just those four; there are tens of thousands of Heavenly Family and Wushen Palace cultivators—more than enough to fight our way out.
