Sure enough, one day later, Ye Xiangyang received a message from the auction house, inviting him to go to the treasure hunter certification office to accept a task.
Ye Yongqing wanted to bring Xuanshi with him for protection, but Ye Xiangyang waved his hand and pushed him away.
"Grandpa, even if you can protect me now, you can't protect my future, right? I'm afraid no one in this city dares to do this so blatantly. I can go by myself."
Ye Yongqing was worried and took Ye Xiangyang's hand and said, "Boy, you are the backbone of our Ye family. You must be careful."
Ye Xiangyang nodded, said a few words of goodbye to the head of the family, mounted his horse and rode away.
When I entered the certification hall, a wave of heat hit me in the face. Walking here from the cold, I suddenly felt that I was in a different world. It was truly a feeling of ice and fire.
The beautiful receptionist opened the door and greeted Ye Xiangyang with a smile: "Master Ye, welcome. There are so many people waiting for you. Please follow me."
The woman has a slim figure and her words are like the sound of flowing water and the singing of larks, which is pleasing to the eye.
After walking through the hall, we entered a magnificent conference hall. The ceiling of the conference hall was inlaid with eight sunstones, and the golden light illuminated every detail of the conference room.
Not to mention anything else, these eight sunstones alone are priceless treasures. You can imagine how wealthy the Treasure Hunters Association is.
There are sixteen treasure hunters sitting on the left, all wearing special grey treasure hunter uniforms.
On one side was a group of people dressed in green with a powerful aura. Feeling the surge of aura, Ye Xiangyang knew that these people were all Xuan Masters.
Baili Cong laughed and said to Ye Xiangyang: "Master Ye, I thought you were not coming?"
"Master Baili, I am not worthy of being called Master. From now on, just call me Xiao Yangzi." As he said that, Ye Xiangyang sat down at the last position of the treasure hunter, which was right next to Murong Gaojie.
Murong Gaojie smiled slightly: "Master Ye, if there is anything in the future, you must take care of me."
After they greeted each other and exchanged a few pleasantries, the woman sitting in the chair, who was as beautiful as an iceberg, coughed and said, "Dear treasure hunters, dear masters, we have invited all of you here today for this year's treasure hunt. According to the old rules of previous years, our auction house has gathered people to explore the route we have set and look for various resources."
"Every treasure hunter has the right to find one or two teams to escort them. The escort teams will spend money these days, and our auction hall will pay for it. Every treasure hunter must at least give our auction hall two to three yellow-level resources. In addition, we must settle accounts with these teams again. If you find few treasures, you can take out one-tenth of the treasure's value. If your treasure is very valuable, you only need to take out 10,000 Xuanwu silver coins, and the remaining resources are yours."
"We will purchase these resources at market prices, as long as the treasure hunters are willing to sell them."
Ye Xiangyang thought about it and felt that in this way, the Xuanshi team would not suffer any loss. Their daily wages would be paid by the auction hall, and there would be rewards afterwards. If they did not go all out, they would get no rewards.
What if the treasure hunter doesn’t tell everyone how many treasures he has found
At this time, the old man with white hair and beard laughed and said, "We still follow the old rules. All treasure hunters are not allowed to bring their own storage rings and other things. They must wear the storage rings issued by our auction hall."
Murong Gaojie smiled and said, "This kind of ring was made by the Danding Divine Sect. It can only hold things but not take things out. And this storage ring has another feature, which is that we know exactly where the storage ring is. Even if you want to escape with the ring, it is impossible."
After years of exploration, they naturally formed their own unique rules of conduct, and the loopholes in them have long been filled.
Five tall beauties came towards the treasure hunters, carrying a wooden red tray the size of a wash basin. These beauties were dressed in cheongsams, which outlined their slender and beautiful figures, and the charming curves on their bodies made people feel salivating.
Three black storage rings were placed on the exquisite vermilion tray, and under the rings was a map that marked the route for treasure hunting.
Ye Xiangyang took the storage ring and the map. The first thing he looked at was which route was close to the Yuntie Mine in Guibei Mountain. According to the information he had received, his father was being held at the Yuntie Mine.
If he had not wanted to rely on the cover of the Danding Divine Sect's team, he would have already set out for the Yuntie Mine.
The treasure hunting route marked with shallow traces leads directly to the Yunti Mine, which means that this route is a reserve route.
Ye Xiangyang did not hesitate and put a red dot on the prepared route, which meant that he had reserved this route.
Murong Gaojie looked at the route Ye Xiangyang clicked and smiled coldly, then casually clicked on a nearby route.
"Hehehe, kid, as soon as you get out, Xuanwu County will be your death place."
The next step is to select the escort team. Many martial artists and treasure hunters have good cooperation with each other, and they can form a perfect pair.
In the end, only the escort team that had just been recruited this year had not found an escort, so it was assigned to Ye Xiangyang.
There was more smile in Murong Gaojie's eyes as he looked at Ye Xiangyang. Choose this escort team, hehe, they can escort you to heaven.
In the early morning, the frost was as severe as snow, and puffs of hot air came out of the nostrils of these martial artists and their unicorn carts.
Fortunately, these people are all martial artists. After reaching the level of Xuanshi, they are basically immune to cold and heat and can withstand the cold.
All the leading figures of the Ye family came to see Ye Xiangyang off. Their hearts were filled with worry as their genius was about to embark on a long treasure hunt.
Ye Yongqing prayed silently in his heart: "Gods in heaven, I hope you can protect my Ye Xiangyang and let him have a safe journey. No matter what happens, I hope he can turn misfortune into good fortune and turn disaster into blessing."
Only when the four carriages rolled over the hard stone road and creaked away, leaving no trace of them, did the Ye family return to Xuanwu County.
Ye Xiangyang saw from the window that all the people in the Ye family had disappeared, and their blurry figures were still vaguely at the gate of Xuanwu County. He felt a warm feeling in his heart. From the beginning when he found out that he had a second-grade martial arts talent to now, the head of the family, Ye Yongqing, had been very good to him and his family. Ye Xiangyang could not deny this no matter what.
Ye Xiangyang also wanted to revitalize the Ye family, and this wish was largely for his parents, who had a stronger sense of identity with the Ye family than he did.
Perhaps my future path will be very long, maybe I will have to set foot on the Xuanwu Continent, and my parents will not be able to follow me on such a long journey. So I have to build a place here for them to shelter from the wind and rain, a place where they can live a happy life.
Then, revitalizing the Ye family is his most important task.
According to the three elders of the Hong family, my father is being held captive in the Yun Iron Mine. I don't know how my father is doing now. This time I must rescue my father. With Xiao Jingui and Tianwu here, this mission can definitely be accomplished.
Having made up his mind, Ye Xiangyang sat cross-legged in his cart and began to practice. The huge steel-wood mixed cart was covered with monster fur mattresses, so it didn't feel bumpy when sitting on it.
The other three carts were occupied by thirty Xuanists and the leading Xuan Master. Except for the driver and the six sentinels in front who were responsible for the safety of the team, the rest of the martial artists were chatting and laughing in the carts, talking about strange things in Xuanwu County, talking about martial arts skills, talking about which hotel had the best food and the most powerful liquor, and talking about which prostitute in Yihong Courtyard was the best...
The team moved forward slowly.
One day, after walking eight hundred miles, they arrived at the foot of Turtle Back Mountain.
After setting up their tents, these people prepared to live at the foot of the mountain.
Ye Xiangyang got out of the car, had dinner with these martial artists, then got into his own car and started practicing.
Streams of mysterious energy from heaven and earth and the elemental power of the earth slowly surged towards Ye Xiangyang's car. All of the azure tortoise-shell patterns on Ye Xiangyang's body were exceptionally bright, but the light could not be seen from the outside of the car.
Ye Xiangyang's earth element perception and mental power spread out like water, and every move of these martial artists was clearly perceived by him.
As the night deepened, the sky was as clean as if someone had grabbed a handful of snow and polished it. The sky was filled with happy stars that blinked their eyes. Gusts of cold wind blew, making a mournful sound like the howling of ghosts and wolves.
A black shadow sneaked in like a ghost and flashed into the first carriage where the captain of the guard was.
Bang bang bang!
Three light, almost negligible knocks on the car were heard, and the first luxury car opened its door silently.
Ye Xiangyang was shocked. It was the dead of night and no one was around. Why did a masked man in black suddenly come
Therefore, they became more vigilant, and all their senses were directed towards the first truck.
The masked man in black stared at Captain Chunguang and said softly, "Brother Chunguang, are you ready?"
Chun Guang smiled faintly, with a look of disdain on his face. Is it necessary to spend so much effort on a kid with no experience at all? He can handle him by himself.
"Most of the brothers have already agreed. Is it necessary for a little brat to make such a fuss?"
"Humph, what do you know? Do you feel that your team is stronger than the Black Panther Mystic Group? The best thing to do is to be careful."
The man in black said gloomily, "Ye Xiangyang can never be regarded as an ordinary person. He is an incredible genius."
