"The real spatial gems do not absorb spiritual energy and life force!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at Meng Nan and provided the answer, then ignored him, picking up a handful of red gems and infusing a thread of spiritual power.
This... can it be done so resolutely?
The surrounding Hun Yi, seeing this action, were instantly dumbfounded.
For others, this thread of spiritual power was imperceptible, but for him, who specialized in spiritual power, detecting this thread of spiritual power was very easy.
What made him even more furious was that if he had known earlier that spiritual power could be used to verify these gems, why would he have paid two heavenly-materially-and-earthly-treasure level medicinal herbs?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, wishing he could directly kill Ye Cangtian.
Apart from Hun Yi, most people did not know what Ye Cangtian was doing.
In their eyes, Ye Cangtian was just repeatedly picking up a handful of gems and putting them aside, and so on.
Soon, Ye Cangtian looked at Qing Yan and said indifferently, "楼主 Qing Yan, I have finished my appraisal. These gems are all fake!"
This...
Upon hearing this, Qing Yan frowned. With his Heavenly-tier expert spiritual power, he naturally sensed Ye Cangtian's actions.
But was this method of spiritual power detection actually useful?
Others from various factions also held doubts.
They knew that there were over a hundred red gems here, all painstakingly found by them, and they truly did not believe that there wasn't a single genuine one among them.
The next moment, Meng Nan stepped forward and said, "Ye Cangtian, just because you say they are fake, does that make them fake? Do you have any basis for this?"
Feeling the confused gazes falling upon him, Ye Cangtian said calmly, "If anyone does not believe it, they can send their disciples to verify. I guarantee their safety..."
This...
With these words, the leaders of most factions hesitated.
They believed Ye Cangtian could guarantee the disciples' lives; this had already been verified and was not to be doubted.
But the problem was, even if their lives were saved, these disciples' cultivation would plummet, turning them into complete burdens.
This was not good for the subsequent actions.
However, if they didn't send disciples to verify, how could Ye Cangtian's appraisal results be proven?
Just then, Meng Nan spoke again, "Ye Cangtian, you said that the verification work would be handled by you, so please use our method and inject some spiritual energy..."
As he spoke, a sinister smile appeared on Meng Nan's face.
Even if Ye Cangtian reacted quickly, by injecting spiritual energy to verify each gem, some spiritual power and life force would definitely be extracted from him.
With so many gems combined, even if it couldn't drain Ye Cangtian dry, it could at least significantly weaken him.
If that were the case, he might be able to deal with Ye Cangtian himself.
As Meng Nan's voice fell, the surrounding factions immediately seconded the motion.
As far as they were concerned, as long as their own disciples weren't the ones verifying, then anyone else could do it.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian glanced at Qing Yan and said indifferently, "楼主 Qing Yan, do you also agree with this?"
Qing Yan frowned and then said, "Young friend, I truly do not know if your verification method is effective, so I believe you should find a way to verify it, so that you can convince everyone."
Qing Yan's words were tactful, but the meaning was very clear: he wanted Ye Cangtian to provide a satisfactory answer to everyone.
Hmph!
Ye Cangtian snorted lightly and then said, "Since none of you believe me, I will verify it as you suggested."
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian casually grabbed a handful of gems and, in front of everyone, injected a thread of spiritual energy into them.
This...
This is suicidal! One gem could drain a person dry, and Ye Cangtian verifying so many gems at once, wouldn't he be left with nothing but bone residue!
However, to their astonishment, Ye Cangtian was not drained dry. Instead, they heard a series of terrifying voices.
"Damn little bug, it's you again!"
"You dare to try and seize my spiritual power and life force again, truly courting death!"
"Since that's the case, this venerable one shall fulfill your wish..."
As the voices came, everyone was utterly shocked, and the more timid ones directly collapsed to the ground.
Just hearing these voices was enough to instill fear and trepidation. If it were the real entity, its power would undoubtedly be terrifying.
Qing Yan's expression also became extremely excited upon hearing these voices.
Up until now, it had only been the disciples exploring the rainforest who spoke of the existence of the Mustard Seed Space, and he had not confirmed it.
But after hearing this voice, he was convinced that the Mustard Seed Space definitely existed, and that there must be peerless treasures within.
At the same time, the red gems in Ye Cangtian's hand floated up, emitting an increasingly brilliant radiance, and then a very small teleportation gate opened.
From the teleportation gate, a fiery red gem slowly appeared in everyone's sight.
Ye Cangtian grabbed the gem and subtly infused a thread of spiritual power into it.
The next moment, he was jolted, and the scene around the entrance within the space appeared in his mind.
In other words, this fiery red gem was the true entrance to the Mustard Seed Space.
"Little bugs, if you have the guts, come in! This venerable one is waiting for you!"
As the terrifying voice echoed again, the small teleportation gate in front of Ye Cangtian disappeared, and the red gem also lost its brilliance, turning into a pile of powder.
"Young friend, this gem is..."
Just then, Qing Yan's voice reached him, his aged eyes fixed intently on the fiery red gem.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian nodded and said, "You guessed correctly, this fiery red gem is the true entrance to the Mustard Seed Space!"
Although he had obtained the real gem, Ye Cangtian felt no excitement.
The entity inside was truly terrifying, and even he would have a slim chance of survival facing it.
Therefore, for the Death Squad and the Imperial Dragon Villa, this would undoubtedly be an even greater test of life and death.
"Since this gem is real, what are we waiting for? Let's open the teleportation gate directly!"
As Ye Cangtian spoke, the leaders of some of the surrounding factions began to urge him on.
Their goal was to enter the Mustard Seed Space to search for treasures, and even if there was a terrifying entity within, it could not stop them.
Ye Cangtian ignored these people and instead looked at Qing Yan, asking, "楼主 Qing Yan, what do you think we should do?"
Qing Yan heard this and immediately replied, "Since we have obtained the real gem, there's no need to rush. All the leaders should gather their disciples here..."
Qing Yan stated that they didn't know how long the teleportation gate to the Mustard Seed Space would remain open. If some factions couldn't enter in time, they would miss the opportunity.
Therefore, it was best to gather everyone and enter the Mustard Seed Space together.
Hearing Qing Yan's words, the others had no objections and returned to their respective camps to gather their disciples.
Ye Cangtian did the same.
He returned to the camp of the Hidden Group and briefly explained the situation.
As he spoke, he looked at everyone and said, "The Mustard Seed Space is extremely dangerous, and I may not even be able to protect you. Are you sure you want to go in?"
"Nonsense!"
Qiang Wei glanced at Ye Cangtian with a cool expression and continued, "How many years have we brothers followed you? We are not cowards!"
As she spoke, Wu Ying Jian, Tai Shan, and others all nodded in agreement.
Hong Liu also came before Ye Cangtian and said, "As the commander of the Imperial Dragon Villa, I will naturally advance and retreat with the Villa Master..."
Yuan Hao and Chen Gong also expressed their willingness to accompany him.
Seeing everyone's declarations, Ye Cangtian nodded heavily and said, "Good. Since that is the case, then we shall share life and death! We shall conquer the Mustard Seed Space!"
After the decision was made, Qiang Wei and the others began to pack up simply, making final preparations.
During this time, Ye Cangtian pulled Yao Bao'er aside.
"Boss, you're not thinking of making me back out, are you? That's impossible. I'd rather die with my brothers!"
Pulled aside by Ye Cangtian, Yao Bao'er had a bad feeling and quickly spoke.
"No, no."
Ye Cangtian waved his hand and quickly said, "You've misunderstood. I made a deal with Hun Yi earlier, and I want to see if I've lost or gained."
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian took out two stalks of medicinal herbs from his Qiankun Bag and handed them to Yao Bao'er.
He said nothing else, believing that Yao Bao'er would have her own understanding of these two herbs.
