1074. Only one harvest
They were all quite ambitious, and given their young age, they naturally cared a great deal about the list, even knowing the rankings inside and out. However, being young, their rankings on the list were only in the upper-middle range.
The top thirty were almost entirely controlled by young people from the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, and the Yan Clan. Because of their bloodline advantage, they progressed at an incredibly fast pace in the early stages of cultivation.
Of course, the most valuable part of this list is the top eight.
Eighth, Yao Qingyu, Seven Star Dou Zun.
Seventh, Little Fairy Doctor, Nine-Star Dou Zun.
Sixth, Wei Jiangyuan, a one-star Dou Sheng.
Fifth, Lei Jingxiao, a one-star Dou Sheng.
Fourth, Xiao Xun'er, a one-star Dou Sheng.
Third, Huo Zhi, a one-star Dou Sheng.
Second, Xiao Yan, a two-star Dou Sheng.
First, Qinglin, a five-star Dou Sheng.
The list is followed by a description of each person's strength, and it's updated periodically. The top eight are simply breathtaking. Six of the top eight are Dou Sheng level experts!
Even the general public had heard that these individuals were initially unwilling to join the list. After all, their importance to the entire Guiyuan Prefecture was too great; they didn't need any list to prove their importance. They controlled the allocation of resources, let alone need any preferential treatment.
Wei Jiangyuan, the young master of Guiyuan Prefecture, who was not strictly speaking a member of the prefecture, was naturally playful. Upon learning of the list, he insisted on having his name added. Little Fairy Doctor, who was in charge of many affairs of Guiyuan Prefecture, readily agreed and included the others on the list as well.
This has created the current situation: they dominate the top eight spots on the list, and their hold is so secure that it is almost impossible to shake them.
After all, even the ninth-ranked person's strength has already reached the level of a six-star Dou Zun.
However, although these eight people were included, they were still deliberately ignored when allocating resources. In other words, the ninth person actually received the same treatment as the first person on the list.
Even if we consider the actual rankings, not a single member of this team is in the top ten. If we're talking about being honest, they certainly won't accept it.
However, this Guiyuan Ranking only tests strength; there's no room for trickery. If they want to move forward, they must improve themselves. So, when they talk about this section, everyone is holding their breath.
The group then agreed to the plan, and they successfully traversed the mine, reaching the bottom layer.
When the soul impact appeared before them, the group did feel a real pressure.
Fortunately, they were all Dou Zun level beings with considerable soul strength. Before setting off, they had received reminders from the Xuanming Pavilion and even learned a special soul skill to deal with this situation. The seven of them huddled together, and relying on their protection, they successfully entered the vortex.
After passing through, the scene in their field of vision changed rapidly. When the group came to their senses, they found themselves in a rather narrow space.
"This is definitely a legacy!" Lianhua had once received the inheritance of the Soul Clan elder, so he was particularly sensitive to these things.
"Observe first, don't move around!"
There is a high probability that the hidden ruins on the mainland contain extremely valuable items, but they are often accompanied by considerable dangers. The group restrained their impulses and cautiously scanned their surroundings.
The space was quite small; the seven of them had already occupied nearly half of it. Because of its narrowness, there was almost nothing there, just a layer of bare, grayish-white walls.
The most important element in the entire room is an extremely antique box placed in the very center, emanating a faint spiritual energy. Its material cannot be determined from its appearance alone. Even spiritual perception cannot penetrate it; it can only be observed with the naked eye.
"It seems our gains this time depend entirely on what's inside this box," Yan Ling said in a low voice, though her tone was not very satisfied, a sentiment shared by the others.
Knowing full well that the soul energy here is extraordinary, they risked coming here, hoping to at least return with a full load. But with only one box, it's definitely not enough for the seven of them.
Yan Yu sensed his wife's emotions and promptly comforted her, saying, "It's good enough if we can get anything. We can take it to the manor to sell, and we can split all the profits equally among the seven of us."
Refining didn't seem to care much and chuckled, "You're right. On the bright side, maybe this is a high-level Heaven-rank cultivation technique. After we sell it, the rewards will be enough for us to split equally."
"Now another question arises: who will drive it?"
Yao Yang, standing to the side, also raised his hand and volunteered, saying, "I possess a snake soul; let me give it a try!"
What's inside the box is still unknown, so the group naturally wouldn't open it blindly; it would be best if they could avoid having to do it themselves.
So the group made room for Yao Yang, who then channeled his fighting spirit and drew out a dark purple snake spirit from his sleeve.
Empress Qinglin of the Nine Netherworld Python clan was skilled at manipulating the souls of snakes, and as one of her loyal fans, Yaoyang naturally learned this technique as well. Although he hadn't reached Qinglin's level of controlling serpentine magical beasts with a flick of her finger, he could still manage simple operations without any problem.
The snake spirit rushed to the box, flicked its tail, and opened the box that was placed in the middle. The first thing that wafted out after the box was opened was an extremely foul, rotten smell.
Before anyone could identify the scent, a surge of soul energy shot out.
"Be careful!"
The thing was too fast; it pounced on the group in a few leaps. Although the seven tried to dodge, they were too slow and the space was too cramped to maneuver.
Ultimately, the surging soul power deflected several times and rushed into Yan Xiwen's body.
Suddenly, the soul power within Yan Xiwen's body became extremely complex. His originally handsome face was distorted, with veins bulging on his face, as he was enduring immense pain.
"what!"
"hey-hey……"
Two distinctly different voices emanated from Yan Xiwen's throat.
Everyone was stunned by the scene, and then immediately took action.
"Get off the Xiwen brothers!"
A cloud of black mist appeared in the palm of the refined man, and a powerful soul-drawing force emerged, attempting to draw out the strange soul power that had rushed into Yan Xiwen's body.
Unexpectedly, Yan Xiwen suddenly revealed a strange smile, and a tangible soul shock emanated from his body, knocking back the people who tried to surround him, sending them flying backward in a very disheveled state.
"I've finally made it out!"
