After Ye Wuchen had thoroughly plundered everyone's Storage Pouches, the Disciples scrambled to leave the area.
"Take that unconscious guy out too," Ye Wuchen shouted.
After everyone left, Ye Wuchen turned to look at Ye Xiyue, a brilliant smile on his face.
"These Disciples actually have quite a lot of resources."
Living Vein Grass, Bird Feather Flower, Orchid Moon Grass, Heavenly Heart Bamboo... Although they were all low-grade Spirit Medicine.
But the quantity was considerable. These herbs combined could sell for dozens of gold coins.
One must know that the income of many common people in Wuan City for half a year was probably only two or three gold coins.
Even in Ye Lin's Storage Pouch, there was actually a Yao Beast Core from a Body Refining fifth-level Yao Beast.
A Yao Beast Core was different from a Spiritual Plant or Spirit Medicine. To obtain a Yao Beast Core, one had to hunt Yao Beasts.
Yao Beast Cores contained a large amount of Qi and Blood power, and were one of the main Materials for refining Body Tempering Pills.
Therefore, Yao Beast Cores were hard currency in Wuan City; they could be sold for a good price anywhere.
Just as Ye Wuchen was playing with the crimson Yao Beast Core in his hand, a surge of desire emerged from the depths of his heart.
"What's going on? Why do I suddenly have a desire to eat this Yao Beast Core right now?"
"No, this doesn't seem to be my emotion."
Ye Wuchen closed his eyes, and at this moment, he could vaguely feel it.
This craving seemed not to come from him, but from—the Soul Palace!
To figure out the source of the emotion, Ye Wuchen's mind entered the Soul Palace.
At his feet, the tender sapling continuously swayed its branches and leaves, and the sense of craving in Ye Wuchen's mind grew stronger and stronger.
"You want that Yao Beast Core?" Ye Wuchen looked at the sapling at his feet in surprise, muttering to himself.
But to his surprise, the sapling actually responded to Ye Wuchen's words.
Its branches began to sway up and down, as if nodding.
"You can understand what I'm saying?"
Ye Wuchen was very surprised to see this scene. He had never heard that a Martial Soul could communicate.
The sapling, seeing this, swayed its branches and leaves up and down again, indicating agreement.
"Then what should I do?" Ye Wuchen asked again.
The sapling seemed not to know how to tell Ye Wuchen, and could only keep swaying its branches.
At the same time, it released an increasingly intense craving.
Afterward, Ye Wuchen asked the sapling a few more questions.
But the sapling still only kept swaying its branches, seemingly unable to communicate further.
Seeing that he couldn't get anything useful out, he withdrew his mind from the Soul Palace.
Back in reality, Ye Wuchen looked at the Yao Beast Core in his hand, pondering something.
Within the Soul Palace, the sapling continued to release a craving.
"Could it be that it needs to be refined?" Ye Wuchen guessed.
As his words fell, the sapling inside him actually released a joyful emotion, seemingly acknowledging Ye Wuchen's words from just now.
"It really does need to be refined." Ye Wuchen was a bit shocked.
Although Yao Beast Cores stored a large amount of Qi and Blood power, generally no Martial Artist would choose to refine the Qi and Blood power within a Yao Beast Core.
The Qi and Blood power contained in Yao Beast Cores was very violent, so the efficiency of refining Yao Beast Cores was very low.
Often, it was considered good if one could absorb two-tenths of the Qi and Blood power from a single Yao Beast Core.
But most importantly, the Qi and Blood power in Yao Beast Cores was often accompanied by Yao Beast poison.
If one wanted to absorb and refine a Yao Beast Core, they would inevitably absorb the Yao Beast poison into their body.
Once the toxins accumulated to a certain extent, even immortals couldn't save them.
So, basically, no Martial Artist would choose to refine the Qi and Blood power from Yao Beast Cores.
But since the sapling inside him wanted him to refine the Yao Beast Core, Ye Wuchen decided to refine one to test it out.
Sitting cross-legged, he circulated his Body Refining Cultivation Technique, and Ye Wuchen began to refine the Qi and Blood power from the Yao Beast Core.
Under normal circumstances, the Qi and Blood power within the Yao Beast Core would flow directly to various Meridians in his body, and then be continuously assimilated by his own Qi and Blood power.
Finally, the Yao Beast poison would also be absorbed by his body.
But at this moment, Ye Wuchen had just introduced the Qi and Blood power from the Yao Beast Core into his body.
That Qi and Blood power seemed to be attracted by something, and immediately flowed into his Soul Palace.
Before long, a very pure Qi and Blood power flowed from the Soul Palace to various Meridians.
After completely refining one Yao Beast Core, Ye Wuchen was pleasantly surprised to find that he had absorbed nearly six-tenths of the Qi and Blood power from this Yao Beast Core.
And nearly four-tenths of the Qi and Blood power was absorbed by the sapling in the Soul Palace.
This meant that the utilization rate of this Yao Beast Core reached an astonishing ninety percent!
Most importantly, he didn't feel the presence of any Yao Beast poison.
This also meant that he could ignore the troubles caused by Yao Beast poison and absorb the Qi and Blood power from Yao Beast Cores without restraint.
Ye Wuchen could feel that if he absorbed two more Yao Beast Cores, he would definitely be able to Breakthrough to Body Refining fourth-level.
One must know that he had just Breakthrough to Body Refining third-level, and now he was already close to touching the threshold of Body Refining fourth-level.
Such a Cultivation speed was simply too abnormal.
He sent his mind into the Soul Palace, and Ye Wuchen looked at the tender sapling at his feet, which was constantly swaying its branches and leaves.
At this moment, it was clearly visible that the sapling in his Soul Palace had grown an inch taller.
At the same time, at Ye Qing's residence.
"Young Master Qing, you must uphold justice for us! This Ye Wuchen is simply too lawless. Not only did he cut off Senior Brother Ye Lin's finger, but he also robbed us of all our Cultivation resources."
Inside the separate courtyard, the Disciples who had been robbed by Ye Wuchen tearfully complained to Ye Qing about how domineering and lawless Ye Wuchen was.
But this group of people seemed to have forgotten that they had initially gone to trouble Ye Wuchen with such intentions.
Listening to the clamor of these Disciples, Ye Qing felt extremely annoyed.
His eyes swept over everyone present, and he spoke in a deep voice:
"A useless blind man, able to cut off Ye Lin's finger? Do you think I'm easy to fool?"
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to explain.
"Ye Chang, you tell me. Tell me everything that just happened, word for word. Don't hide anything."
Ye Qing looked at a small fat male in the crowd and spoke coldly.
Ye Chang was the most timid Disciple of the Ye family. Many people mocked Ye Chang for not even daring to lie.
"Bro... Brother Qing, this is what happened..."
Under Ye Chang's description, Ye Qing gradually understood everything that had just happened, which made his expression very grim.
"Useless! All of you are useless! To be scared by a cripple, I think you've all lived in vain for so long."
Facing Ye Qing's rebuke, none of them dared to retort.
"Young Master Qing, this Ye Wuchen is truly too much. This grudge, we cannot let it go!"
The Disciples below tearfully pleaded, hoping that Ye Qing would help them uphold justice and teach Ye Wuchen a lesson.
Listening to the noisy arguments below, Ye Qing lost his patience.
"Enough! Didn't Ye Wuchen say he wanted to fight me openly at the clan competition half a month from now? At that time, I will naturally make him pay the price."
As his words fell, Ye Qing directly strode away from the place.
Seeing Ye Qing leave, everyone exchanged glances and then silently left the area.
But what they didn't notice was that in the crowd, Ye Lin's face was extremely ferocious, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.
