Chapter 207 - Onwards

“One thousand and two hundred Supreme crystals, six hundred Primal crystals…” Ye Wei could not believe his eyes, muttered to himself as he counted up. “I can probably hire a returned prime Warrior to protect me for half of my life if I pay them with just one of these Supreme crystals.”

Ye Wei had soon collected most of the vault’s content, he planned to take some of the materials to one of the Runemaster Union branches. He was told since he entered the Runemaster Union that he should craft a Soul Arm but haven’t had the tokens to get the materials, until now.

Some of the items Ye Wei could not quite identify but he would bring them with him so the Helian might be able to help him value them.

“There are more than six hundred jade bottles and each of them are filled with over a hundred pills!” Ye Wei opened one of them, not only could he smell the expensive herbs, he could actually feel the primal energy bursting out from the tiny opening. ‘My body is completely relaxed and I haven’t even taken one of these pills!

In the center of the vault stood ten transparent bottles made of Supreme jade, each of them was half full, filled by a glowing scarlet liquid.

‘Supreme blood!’ Ye Wei leaped forth and carefully placed them into a smaller department of the bag. ‘I can misplace all the other contents but not these ten bottles!

“This should be everything!” Ye Wei exclaimed as he swept the last corner of the room.

It took more than two hours for Ye Wei to work out the logistics and clear the vault, he left the valley after making sure he had concealed his tracks.

‘It’s ridiculous how well Supreme Ye Yu’s transportation array worked, if people found out how much I’ve taken today my family is probably going to be in trouble…’

Meanwhile, a few thousand miles away.

“What is this?! I want an explanation! Anyone!?” The Skeleton Demon King’s rage echoed the cave, his inferiors were shivering in fear.

“Your majesty, we have no idea! This is all we foun...”

The squad leader’s head fell off his neck as the Demon King swiped his arm right, he was less than amused by the common Qi stones and gems.

“I fought and searched for days, and this is what I’m getting?” The green glow in his eyes intensified. ‘A Supreme's treasure should be more and better than this!’

“Maybe someone was at the treasure spots before us.” He muttered and tried to deduce. “Huyan Haoze… I don’t know how you did it, but well played.”

A few months later the area around and including Green Moon City returned to peace, furthermore the Lu’s did nothing to pursuit the Ye’s.

It was the coldest winter in decades, the Ye mansion was covered by a thick blanket of snow. The study was lit by strands of runes, the runes that made up the original Falling Star form created by Supreme Ye Yu.

Surrounded by small piles of scrolls, Ye Wei had been working all day and night for a whole week, jotting down the runes for the formula and a tutorial on practising it. The young runemaster had decided to leave the low-level Earth Formula and a collection of stances to the Ye family.

Since the Ye family was yet to be strong enough to defend the whole treasure, the young Runemaster decided to leave just a portion of the findings behind just in case the family’s enemies have learned about the acquisition.

Before Ye Wei started writing, he put his iron talisman aside with a piece of Supreme crystal and it was now completely recharged.

“That’s about it…” Ye Wei yawned and stretched his back, “I think I am ready to leave.”

It had been a known fact for Ye Wei that he needed to go to the outside world to get inspired if he wished to successfully breakthrough to returned prime level. But when it came to the time to say goodbye, he was not too sure about leaving his family behind.

“Butler Fu!” Ye Wei called.

“Young master?” The caretaker gently opened the door.

“Would you mind telling Grandpa and the others to meet me in the main hall?” Ye Wei requested as he looked around the room he grew up in, feeling nostalgic but yearning to exploring the world.

“Sure master,” Butler Fu could easily read the teenager’s intention. The young master’s childish face was slightly cringed as if he was already homesick. “So are going to leave after all?”

The butler was unsettled, he sighed and look at the narrow shoulders in front of him that had been carrying the Ye family for the previous years. ‘You were so small and considered untalented not so long ago, look at you now…’

Ye Wei’s contribution did not just made the Ye family the strongest family in Green Moon City undisputedly, it was recently also gaining state-wide attention, glorified due to the recent events regarding the dispute with Lu Qianhuan.
