"When I was young, I traveled the world to gain experience and insights. At that time, I acquired a manual of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from a declining Sect, which recorded that the True Spirit Continent has a history of ten thousand years, and there have been countless Heavenly Prides and unparalleled heroes, and likewise, many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures have appeared."

"However, as time passed, many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures vanished due to various reasons, including Exotic Grass and Flowers, which is one of them. I never expected to find Exotic Grass and Flowers on the First Level of the Ancient Ruins."

"These plants before you, if taken individually, would each be ineffective and highly toxic. Only when combined together can they be referred to as Exotic Grass and Flowers."

"Exotic Grass and Flowers consist of two hundred and twenty-two different plants," said Elder Yang, pointing at the plants on the ground.

What!

Xiao Ye was utterly shocked when he heard this, his face full of disbelief.

There are such unique Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures? This is his first time hearing about this.

He haphazardly brought back so many plants from the First Level of the Ancient Relics, who knows how many kinds there are?

According to Elder Yang, wouldn't it be completely useless if even one type was missing?

Seeing Xiao Ye's expression, Elder Yang naturally understood what Xiao Ye was thinking.

"Wait for me, I'll check if the plants you brought back are exactly two hundred twenty-two species," said Elder Yang, as he released his powerful Emperor's Martial Intent, covering the plants.

In just a few dozen breaths, Elder Yang withdrew his Emperor's Martial Intent under Xiao Ye's anxious gaze.

"Your luck is truly remarkable, young man; all these plants together make up exactly two hundred twenty-two species. It seems you've scavenged very thoroughly," Elder Yang said with a smile.

Xiao Ye also grinned broadly.

Knowing he had randomly found such Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, he was very excited indeed.

"Elder Yang, you've told me so much, but you still haven't said what the Exotic Grass and Flowers are actually good for," Xiao Ye asked.

He had asked Elder Yang over to see if among these plants there were any that could enhance his cultivation.

"In ancient times, the greatest use of Exotic Grass and Flowers was to help those in the Emperor Martial Realm consolidate their Emperor Realm and significantly enhance their cultivation," Elder Yang explained.

Xiao Ye was momentarily speechless.

After all this, it turned out that these Exotic Grass and Flowers were Heavenly Materials suitable only for those in the Emperor Martial Realm, so they were obviously of no use to him.

You see, there is a sky-high difference between the Emperor Martial Realm and the King Martial Realm. It's simply incomparable.

If one were to give items suitable for the Emperor Martial Realm to a Martial Artist in the King Martial Realm, it would definitely cause the latter to explode and die.

"Elder Yang, since these are only useful for those in the Emperor Martial Realm, why don't you keep them? I won't be able to use them anytime soon," Xiao Ye said with a wry smile.

He wasn't a stingy person.

Since these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures weren't suitable for him, keeping them would be a waste. It would be better to give them to Elder Yang, who could be a powerful ally in the future.

Elder Yang looked at Xiao Ye intently and then joked, "If the Elders of the Holy Palace knew you gave such treasures away, they would probably be so angry they'd smack you dead."

Xiao Ye was momentarily stunned.

Aren't the Exotic Grass and Flowers just capable of significantly boosting the cultivation of those in the Emperor Martial Realm?

Shouldn't there be plenty of other treasures capable of boosting cultivation for the Emperor Martial Realm? It shouldn't be that big of a deal, right?

"In ancient times, Exotic Grass and Flowers could almost tempt any warrior in the Emperor Martial Realm."

"The most significant effect of the Exotic Grass and Flowers is to help those in the Emperor Martial Realm to consolidate their Emperor Realm, meaning it enhances their foundation, allowing them almost to carve out their own Emperor Road, even increasing their chances of advancing to the Emperor Realm!" Elder Yang explained earnestly.

Boom!

It was as if thunder had struck Xiao Ye, his mind buzzing; he was completely dumbfounded.

Were the plants he casually brought back from the First Level of the Ancient Relics truly so terrifyingly powerful?

If it was as Elder Yang said, then the Exotic Grass and Flowers truly were supreme treasures of Heaven and Earth. If word got out, it might stir up the entire True Spirit Continent, leading to countless battles among those in the Emperor Martial Realm.

Every martial artist on the True Spirit Continent, who wouldn't want to be the fifth Great Emperor of the Human Clan?

Any treasure that could even slightly increase the possibility would definitely drive countless people mad.

"Although my cultivation is already in the Emperor Martial Realm, the chances of advancing to the Emperor Realm in the future are very slim; at most, I could only stop at the Titled Emperor Martial. But you, with your outstanding talents and dazzling potential, have a much longer road ahead. Keep these precious treasures for yourself."

"Also, I remember you asking me to help identify whether any of these plants could enhance your cultivation, right?" Elder Yang said.

"Yes," Xiao Ye honestly nodded.

His greatest hope at the moment was to enhance his cultivation.

"Currently, Exotic Grass and Flowers are of no use to you, but from that manual, I saw a method to dilute their energy. Taking just a little bit of the Exotic Grass and Flowers and diluting their effects many times over might just be beneficial for you."

"Young Xiao Ye, dare you try?" Elder Yang inquired.

"Why not?" Xiao Ye excitedly asked.

Now that an opportunity was presented before him, he certainly wanted to give it a try.

"Alright, wait for me. I'll prepare some instruments. Keep these Exotic Grass and Flowers for now," Elder Yang said, then left Xiao Ye's room and returned half an hour later to start preparing.

For Xiao Ye and Elder Yang, this was a sleepless night.

Fortunately, their cultivation was profound enough that even staying up all night posed no issue for them.

The night quickly passed.

When dawn broke and the early sun rose, casting golden rays, the entire Sea City boiled with excitement, the fighting spirit soaring the Nine Heavens.

For today, was the day the Nine Major Forces would join together and head to Tianwu Sea to annihilate the Ultimate Palace's Sub-palace there.

Creak!

As the disciples and Elders of the Taiyi Palace were gathering, Xiao Ye's room door was also pushed open.

Stepping out from the room, Xiao Ye moved confidently, his eyes sparkling with vigor.

"I never imagined, just taking a little bit of Exotic Grass and Flowers, and even diluting it so many times, could still have such a terrifying effect!"
