Chapter 2885: Abundant Resources

When the guard forces in Xingkong withdrew from the Xingqiu rebelling against the Wan family, the other Xingqiu immediately followed suit.

A few major families acted in an unpopular way this time, and were quickly resisted by the various Xingqiu.

During this period, Ye Liuyun, through careful Soul Search of Wan Congshan, Tang Xiao, An Ran, Zhou Xiang, and a few others, also learned a great deal about the important resources of these major families.

The Wan family occupies several important fire sources, making it the main gathering place for Alchemists and artifact forgers in this Xing Xi, so the Wan family is also the wealthiest family, but its disciples are the weakest. They have simply hired many elite guards to protect those flames.

Of course, within their territory, resources such as mines and medicinal herbs are also relatively abundant.

The family to which Tang Xiao belongs is renowned for its strength. They not only have a blood spirit pool that makes all families envious, which can boost disciples' Bloodline Power, but also a training Secret Realm, within which countless Foreign Tribes are available for disciples to battle and hone.

The other two families, the Zhou family also have a Secret Realm that enhances Divine Soul Power and a multicolored stone that can strengthen the Physical Body.

The resources of the An family are what most excite Ye Liuyun. The An family has a Secret Realm containing a pool of golden liquid said to comprehensively boost strength. According to An Ran's description, he once entered the Qian Long Pool at Qian Long Academy and had encountered this liquid.

He also once considered returning to the Qian Long Pool for another boost, but with his current strength he could easily drain the Qian Long Pool. So he felt no shame in not competing with the academy for those resources.

Now that he sees this liquid again, he says he must try it no matter what. Even if he cannot take it away, he will try to absorb as much as possible.

"These major families really do have a lot of good resources!"

Ye Liuyun felt a silent sigh in his heart and first summoned Qiong Qi. When it comes to stealing resources, Qiong Qi has the most experience.

When Qiong Qi heard, he immediately became excited, instantly halted his body refining and urged Ye Liuyun to set out at once.

In Qiong Qi's view, these resources are needed by all of them. So regardless of which family, they must visit each once, without worrying about order, letting Ye Liuyun just act.

"Alright then!" Ye Liuyun immediately went to greet the Qin family, saying he would help scout information on the Xingqiu where the Wan family resides.

Qin family

Clan Chief Qin Heshong was not overly suspicious; he naturally agreed when Ye Liuyun said he would help scout Wan family's movements. Qin Mengxi, however, was very doubtful of Ye Liuyun's intentions. Yet her own strength is weak, and even if she spoke up, Ye Liuyun would not take her along, so she can only stay home awaiting news.

Now that the blockades within Xingkong have been lifted, the four major families, seeing the wave of rebellion across all Xingqiu, realize they have overstepped this time, and immediately go with the trend, no longer deliberately targeting outsiders. They simply dispatch their own disciples to covertly investigate everywhere.

At the same time, on other uninhabited Xingqiu, they also strengthened the guards. Being able to capture a Xingqiu's Martial Cultivator not only attacks their foundation, but is tantamount to having the power to destroy the entire Xing Xi, so they will not abandon the pursuit.

Ye Liuyun and his group hurried on the road while Qiong Qi consulted Wan Congshan for more information, formulating an action plan.

The Holy Fire Xingqiu where the Wan family resides itself has three renowned flames, and its temperature is slightly higher than other Xingqiu. Ye Liuyun could already feel the Fire Flame Power here from afar.

He immediately released Qiong Qi as well, preparing to directly harvest the flames together with him.

When Qiong Qi emerged, feeling the Fire Flame Power, he was also very excited. Yet he said to Ye Liuyun: "The Wan family's strength is not weak. If we act directly, it may alert the Wan family and provoke a chase."

Ye Liuyun, knowing Qiong Qi's temperament, understood that he would certainly not let the flames go unclaimed, so he asked: "Do you have a plan?"

Qiong Qi smiled and nodded: "We don't need to act ourselves. The Wan family, for Alchemy, also raises many powerful ferocious beasts; we can borrow those beasts' power!"

"Borrowing the ferocious beasts' power?" Ye Liuyun didn't know what he was planning.

Qiong Qi gave a sly grin: "Hand over Wan Congshan to me, and let the clone follow me. You just set up an ambush near the Wan family herb garden."

Ye Liuyun, seeing his evasiveness, asked no further. He directly released Wan Congshan and the clone to Qiong Qi, while he himself, accompanied by Ye Tiandao and Li Daoyuan, set up an ambush near the Wan family herb field, using Golden Pupil and Divine Sense to scout the situation.

Upon arriving here, Ye Liuyun realized that the protective forces of the Wan family herb field were indeed too strong. Besides several hundred Unified Realm strongmen, there was also a

Unified Realm Second Tier Martial Cultivator hidden within the herb field's base, training.

Ye Liuyun immediately instructed the clone to relay this information to Qiong Qi, so he would have a sense of the situation.

At this moment, Qiong Qi manifested his true form, having the clone transformed into a Wan family disciple bound with an iron chain, sent to the Wan family's ferocious beast breeding base. Wan Congshan, holding the disciples' Token, led ahead to guide them.

Ye Liuyun then understood what Qiong Qi intended to do.

"That guy is really desperate! He actually wants to blend into the ferocious beasts and incite them to rebel!"

He guessed that although Qiong Qi has acquired quite a few resources lately, the fire-type resources he obtained are actually few; now seeing so many fire-type resources, he must be envious.

The clone at this time also surveyed the Wan family ferocious beast base. The guard forces here are much weaker than those at the herb garden, with only about a hundred Unified Realm strongmen, and no Unified Realm Second Tier Martial Cultivator guarding.

After all, herbs are lifeless; anyone can pick them. But the beasts raised here are not so easily taken, so the guard forces need not be too strong.

Wan Congshan was extremely nervous at this moment, fearing his Token had already become invalid and would be seen through by the elder stationed here by the Wan family.

Wan family disciples who capture ferocious beasts, once delivered here, receive corresponding rewards. The elder in charge of managing the beasts, upon seeing them bring Qiong Qi over, knew they were coming to hand over beasts, and immediately stepped out.

"Ha ha, is this Qiong Qi? This creature is indeed rare. Where was it captured from?" The elder's eyes were fixed on Qiong Qi, barely glancing at Wan Congshan.

Wan Congshan let out a slight sigh of relief and replied to the elder: "To answer you, Elder, this Qiong Qi is one I snatched from an outsider!"

"Hmm!" the elder nodded, satisfied, and said: "I told you! We don't have such a ferocious beast here! Good, you kid have made a great achievement this time, you should earn many contribution points!"

The elder said, and let them lead Qiong Qi along with him.

The ferocious beasts here are not free-roaming. They are kept in different Formations according to their realms and strength. The beasts' main purpose is to draw blood for Alchemy. Therefore the Wan family does not allow these beasts to contact each other, lest they kill one another.
