Chapter 325 After the raid, the house was ransacked

[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission: Destroy the White Lotus Headquarters]
[Host receives reward: Comprehension]
……
Within the White Lotus Cave.
Corpses littered the ground, and the stench of blood filled the cave, causing countless laborers to vomit uncontrollably.
But they felt no fear; instead, they looked at the man in black with intense longing.
"The overseers are all dead! They're all dead!"
"Good riddance! They all deserved to die!"
"Wife! Someone has avenged you. Your spirit can rest in peace now!"
The people wept bitterly, freely venting their pain at being enslaved by the White Lotus Sect.
These people are the strongest group that survived the test of time; most of the common people have already died in this endless mining.
Ye Kang breathed a sigh of relief and swallowed a few True Essence Pills.
He looked around but could not see any more White Lotus followers still alive.
This rebellious organization, which had wreaked havoc on the Great Jin Dynasty for so many years, has now disappeared.
The system was also surprisingly generous, issuing two tasks for the same matter, with a total reward of 15 comprehension points, which brought Ye Kang's remaining comprehension points to 22.
My wallet is finally bulging again.
Ye Kang walked with satisfaction over the corpses scattered on the ground and reached the body of the White Lotus Ancestor.
This guy's physical body had already merged with the dragon vein in the high mountain, making it exceptionally hard. If Ye Kang hadn't directly obliterated his soul, he would have been helpless against him.
But it was all worth it.
Ye Kang waved his hand, and the storage bags at the waist of the White Lotus Ancestor, as well as those of the White Lotus Sect Leader and the two Vice Sect Leaders, all fell into his hands.
With the storage bags of the three Buddhist disciples he already owned, Ye Kang was now very wealthy, and it was time to organize them properly.
Fortunately, outsiders can't get in here, so there shouldn't be any problems cultivating here for a while.
Ye Kang looked at the innocent people on the mine.
"Everyone, come down and help me. Collect these corpses, pile them together and burn them to prevent the plague. Also, if you find any small bags or herbs on the corpses, remember to give them to me."
After saying that, Ye Kang didn't care whether they understood or not, and looked at Ran Zhou, whose face was full of excitement.
"Don't just stand there, take me to the treasure vault."
Ye Kang was already very familiar with confiscating property, especially from large and powerful organizations like the White Lotus Sect, whose treasure troves must contain many valuable items.
Logically, Ye Kang should have handed over the spoils to headquarters, but that had already been said before.
He's not a member of the Green Scale Guard.
Ran Zhou slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Alright, sir! Follow me!"
The two quickly entered the main hall of the cult, where there were two treasure vaults on each side.
Ran Zhou said, "The left treasure vault contains spirit crystals and gold and silver, while the right vault contains pills and precious plants. Which side would you like to go to first?"
"left."
Ye Kang knew that the White Lotus Sect had a lot of spirit crystals because they controlled a small spirit crystal mine. A group of mortals had been mining it day and night for so many years, so there must be quite a lot.
However, upon entering the Spirit Crystal Treasury, both of them were completely bewildered.
"Why is there so little!"
The treasure was enormous, but only one of the boxes contained spirit crystals; the rest of the contents were empty.
Ran Zhou's face was pale: "My lord, I don't know..."
Ye Kang also had a sullen face and transferred all the spirit crystals in the only box into the Moyu Ancient Treasure.
A rough count shows it costs around a thousand yuan.
Including what Ye Kang already had, it was only two thousand yuan.
"Let's move on to the next one."
Ye Kang didn't waste any words and walked into the treasure vault where pills and precious plants were stored. It was piled up to the brim with all kinds of pills, a dazzling array, all labeled with their names and effects.
Ye Kang had no interest in the low-grade pills and went straight for the major pills.
"The Five-Turn Bone Refining Pill is a body-tempering pill that can be taken by those in the Lotus Realm to enhance the strength of their bones and flesh."
"Dragon and Tiger Nourishing Essence Pill, a body-tempering pill, can be taken by those in the Lotus Realm. It can stabilize the Purple Mansion Dantian and expand the meridians."
After searching, Ye Kang found that only these two types of pills were for body tempering, and he kept them all. The rest were of little use to him.
There were even more treasures; the jade boxes filled three large iron racks.
Ye Kang didn't even look at it; he used his snake-shedding supernatural power to absorb it all.
With so many powerful pills, the need for body-tempering plants was greatly reduced. Besides, Ye Kang couldn't recognize which ones were for body tempering, so he simply absorbed them all at once.
The effect was remarkable. After absorbing all the precious plants in the entire treasure trove, Ye Kang's snake-skin immortal robe was fully charged and condensed again.
You should return it to the place where you used it; it's a fair deal.
When Ran Zhou saw this, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
All these precious plants were collected little by little by the believers, and you just used them all at once!
What a prodigal son!
Ye Kang naturally wouldn't explain to him, and then the two went to the cult leader's room.
They were all just correspondence and secrets from the previous dynasty; they were pretty useless.
However, there was an imperial edict from the previous dynasty that piqued Ye Kang's interest. He opened it and saw a line of investiture documents written on it.
"The Emperor was moved by Eunuch Li's fifty years of diligent service and specially appointed him as the Grand Steward of the Imperial Household Department."
Ye Kang and Ran Zhou fell silent.
It turned out to be the case.
This White Lotus Ancestor wasn't some high-ranking official from the previous dynasty at all; he was just an old eunuch who had lived a long time!
No wonder the White Lotus Sect leader called him godfather; after all, eunuchs can only recognize godson.
Ye Kang shook his head, amused.
"A eunuch, attempting to restore the country, usurping the throne, and foolishly trying to refine the dragon vein, is disloyal and unfilial, utterly ridiculous."
Ran Zhou's expression was also very aggrieved.
After all this time, it turns out I've been working for an old eunuch all these years?
This would be so embarrassing if word got out.
Ye Kang casually tossed the imperial edict aside and walked out.
The really good stuff is all in their storage bags; they don't have time to rummage through the rest of the odds and ends.
What Ye Kang lacks most right now is time.
He said, "Go outside and settle those people down. If you do a good job, you'll be a hero when the Azure Scale Guards arrive."
Ran Zhou's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
And such a good thing!
Wouldn't that mean he went from being a rebel to a high-ranking official in the imperial court?
He immediately showered the people with gratitude and compliments, trying to win their favor.
Ye Kang, on the other hand, went into the spirit crystal mine alone first.
This vein was already very small, and after being mined for so many years, it was on the verge of depletion.
He collected some of the spirit crystals he had already gathered, and then flew to the highest mountain peak.
The fact that the White Lotus Ancestor has remained inside the mountain proves that this is the remnant of the dragon vein from the previous dynasty.
Sure enough, as soon as he flew up the mountain, Ye Kang's Sacred Ultimate Heaven-Reaching Skill began to tremble.
He held his breath and stepped into the passageway.
As you go forward, it's pitch black. The further you go, the more the mountain changes, gradually turning into golden rocks and soil.
This is the result of the dragon vein being infected.
"I wonder how badly that old eunuch has polluted the dragon vein, whether it can still be used..."
