Wonder Stone in the Treasure Pavilion

編輯: Atlas Studios

Although she did not know much about alchemists, Master Lian's sudden appearance, made Ye Lingyue feel puzzled.

She thought about the flying dagger in her arms and the psyche that the dagger used to have. Was it Master Lian's doing?

And those frozen grass, what was the Song family plotting again?

Unknown to her, she had walked in the Ye family's manor and came across Ye Fengyun, Ye Fengcheng, and a group of the Ye family's martial arts practitioners.

"Lingyue. You've just finished the mountain hunt, so why aren't you resting?" Ye Fengyun asked when he saw Ye Lingyue.

The mountain hunt this time was unusually dangerous. Ye Fengyu knew quite well that it was all thanks to Lingyue's encounter with a spirit beast that they won the hunt. That somehow prevented Ye Fengyun from being embarrassed.

Although Ye Fengyun knew afterward that Ye Lingyue encountered the spirit beast only by chance, Ye Fengyun still had a good attitude towards Ye Lingyue, for she had brought many good things after her head straightened up.

"Big Uncle, I'm fine. Where are you going in a hurry?" Ye Lingyue's inquiry brought about Ye Fengcheng's snort.

"You're just a junior. There's no place for you to ask what your senior is doing."

"Fengcheng, you… Don't mind your Fourth Uncle. Thanks to your luck, we have the rights to the Seven Northern Hill mine. Your Fourth Uncle and I will find Old Town Leader Liu to see if we can finish the transaction for the mine as soon as possible." Ye Fengyun knew that his Fourth Brother had a grudge against Third Sister and her daughter, so he could only helplessly shake his head.

"Speaking of the Song family… Big Uncle, when I was passing by the street, I think I saw Song Guangyi and a young man enter a medicinal shop. They bought a cart of herbs. I wonder if it has anything to do with Seven Northern Hill mine?" Ye Lingyue could not say that she encountered them, so she twisted the story slightly.

Ye Lingyue did not know what use the frozen grass had, but she hoped that Ye Fengyun and the others would be careful.

"The medicinal shop has nothing to do with the Seven Northern Hill mine. Don't think you know everything just because you have been in the stone house for a few days. Big Brother, it's getting late. Let's go find the Town Leader quickly so the Song family will not go back on their words," Ye Fengcheng said impatiently. Ye Fengyun nodded at Ye Lingyue, then hurriedly left with the others.

To the surprise of the Ye family, with Town Leader Liu presiding over the meeting, the Song family did not go back on their words this time. They promised that they would hand Seven Northern Hill over to the Ye family three days after they had settled the accounts for it.

It had lifted the weight off of Ye Gu's shoulders. But when Ye Lingyue got the news, she thought otherwise.

However, the upcoming weapon choosing at the Treasure Pavilion diverted her mind.

For the victory of the Autumn Maple mountain hunt, Ye Gu not only increased their monthly allowance, but he also rewarded them by letting them enter the Treasure Pavilion to choose a weapon.

For the younger generations of the Ye family, it was a big temptation.

After all, their ancestors left a lot of weapons and armors in the Ye family's Treasure Pavilion for so many years now. And wearing those, it could save lives in times of danger.

A few days later, under Ye Sheng's lead, Ye Lingyue and the rest went in. All kinds of collections of the Ye family's Treasure Pavilion were revealed to them.

There were two rooms in the Treasure Pavilion, one was full of weapons of different sizes; from short to long weapons, and there were even bows, arrows, and hammers.

The second room contained unique kinds of armor, including wrist guards, leather armor, helmets; some of which were both for men and women.

"Lingyue, you can choose whatever you lack. You can choose first." Ye Sheng knew that Ye Lingyue had achieved the most this time. He was not petty, so he let Ye Lingyue be the first to choose.

The others did not have any objection to this arrangement, even Ye Qing was silent.

Choose what she lacked?

Ye Lingyue pouted. She was lacking in everything. She did not have any weapons and armor. Who asked her to be a foolish girl with only a mother and no father.

But which one should she choose?

Before entering the Treasure Pavilion, Ye Fengyu had reminded Ye Lingyue that it was fine for her to choose a weapon or armor. She should not blindly choose the valuable ones but should choose the ones that were most suitable for her.

Although the weapons and armor in the Treasure Pavilion were all good, ordinary weapons and armor were nothing in Ye Lingyue's eyes after she had gotten her hands on the flying dagger.

After choosing for some time, Ye Lingyue still had not made up her mind.

"Big Cousin, you better choose first. I'll have another look." Ye Lingyue smiled apologetically and let the others choose first.

Ye Sheng and the others already had put their minds on which weapon or armor they wanted, and they used them almost immediately.

At that moment, Ye Lingyue went to a shelf and the Qian cauldron in her hand suddenly jumped.

Ye Lingyue had this kind of feeling before. She could not help but look at the shelf and found that there was a dirty stone resting on it.

The stone looked ordinary and did not look like it had been forged. It did not look like it belonged inside the Treasure Pavilion either.

Ye Lingyue was curious, so she picked up the stone. She had just held it in her hand when Ye Lingyue felt that something was wrong.

The stone was heavy and that surprised Ye Lingyue. She quickly used the cauldron breath to check its origin.

Ye Lingyue saw a lot of dense light spots in the stone, and the strangest thing was that these light spots seemed like liquid.

She was inexperienced except for identifying dark iron. Hence, she could not pinpoint where that thing came from.

"Ye Lingyue, the ore you're holding is ancient. The Ye family's ancestors found it in the Seven Star Mountain in the early years. No one knows what kind of ore it is, so they put it in the Treasure Pavilion," Ye Sheng explained as he saw Ye Lingyue holding a stone.

"Big Cousin, then I'll take this ore." Ye Sheng did not understand Ye Lingyue's choice, but since they were told to choose what they want, he was not in the position to say anything about Ye Lingyue's choice.

After the selection, other than Ye Lingyue choosing a strange stone, everyone else had made their selections. Ye Sheng chose a spear, Ye Qing a leather armor, and Ye Ning and Ye Ying each picked a weapon they wanted.

After getting their weapons, the five of them walked out of the Treasure Pavilion while chatting. However, they had just taken a few steps when a martial arts practitioner hurried forward and whispered something in Ye Sheng's ear.

"Outrageous! The Song family is going too far!" After hearing what the man had to say, an angry expression replaced Ye Sheng's happy one.

"Big Cousin, what's the matter?" Ye Lingyue saw this and knew that something bad had happened.

"It's about the Seven Northern Hill mine. It's all over now. The mine is all destroyed." Ye Sheng's words made the others look at one another. Ye Sheng said nothing else and rushed down Seven Star Mountain with the four of them.
