Chapter 1468: Chapter 1468: Damn, What a Small World! (Third Update)

Ye Haochuan’s gaze fell on the wooden table in front of the woman.

On the table was a circular map, with some fine lines dividing the entire large map into countless sections.

In certain areas, there were different colored circular tokens placed. Presumably, these tokens represented the presence of someone there.

”Hmm? What do these green and red areas mean?” Ye Haochuan pointed to some areas of different colors on the map and asked.

The woman explained, ”Even within the Five Elements Holy Marrow Pool, the concentration of spiritual energy varies. The darker the color of the area, the higher the concentration of spiritual energy. Accordingly, the consumption of jade tokens is also greater!”

Wow, it’s actually this complicated?

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but click his tongue in surprise.

”The white areas have the lowest concentration and don’t require any additional jade tokens. The red areas have the highest concentration, requiring three additional jade tokens,” the woman continued to explain.

Ye Haochuan’s gaze involuntarily fell on those few red areas. Adding three jade tokens and the one given at the entrance requires a total of four, quadrupling the usual cost.

”Yige needs restoration and breakthrough, so the more abundant the spiritual energy, the better!”

Ye Haochuan pondered for a moment, took out three jade tokens, and said with a smile to the woman, ”Give me the best one!”

In the moment of taking out the jade tokens, Ye Haochuan mentally ”thanked” Ye Xiao once more.

If it weren’t for that guy’s timely appearance to ”give” him so many jade tokens, he wouldn’t have had any choice and would only be able to mingle in the most ordinary area.

Seeing Ye Haochuan so straightforwardly take out three jade tokens, the woman couldn’t help but glance at him in surprise.

She could tell that this was Ye Haochuan’s first time here. Coming here for the first time at over twenty indicates that Ye Haochuan doesn’t have the support of a great family.

For someone without a family background, acquiring a jade token to enter the Holy Land is already considered a tremendous opportunity. She couldn’t understand why Ye Haochuan was so ”wealthy.”

A bit flustered, the woman quickly regained her composure and reminded him, ”There are only three red areas in total, and two of them are already occupied; only one is left. That spot is usually used by Young Master Xiao, but since he hasn’t arrived yet, you can use it temporarily!”

Wow, so it’s his. It seems he not only came to give away jade tokens but also ”kindly” offered his place!

Ye Haochuan found this funny in his heart.

However, in the next moment, he became intensely interested in the other two red areas. What kind of existence shares the same treatment as Ye Xiao, the foremost of the five great geniuses?

Ye Haochuan wanted to ask, but the woman just smiled without speaking, clearly not intending to say more.

Ye Haochuan was curious why the woman mentioned Ye Xiao without hiding it, yet kept silent about the people in the other two areas. Could it be that they are even more important than Ye Xiao?

”Come with me,” the woman, seemingly not busy, led Ye Haochuan toward the center of the Five Elements Holy Marrow Pool.

This Five Elements Holy Marrow Pool is called a pool, yet there isn’t a drop of water. Instead, the air is thick with spiritual energy with a somewhat liquid quality.

In fact, it’s precisely because of this thick spiritual energy that it is named ”pool.”

The woman led the way at a leisurely pace without speaking a word. Ye Haochuan didn’t focus much on her and instead looked around.

Due to the thick spiritual energy resembling fog, blocking visibility, a normal person could only see a distance of about ten meters ahead. However, Ye Haochuan’s eyes were clearly beyond ordinary comprehension.

Through observation, he noticed quite a few people were cultivating on either side of the small path. Each was roughly fifteen meters apart, ensuring they couldn’t see each other.

This was clearly the white area on the woman’s map, which required no additional jade tokens upon entry. Perhaps because jade tokens were hard to come by, everyone here was wholeheartedly cultivating, afraid of wasting even a minute.

Ye Haochuan looked ahead and found an area where the spiritual energy was even denser. Furthermore, the cultivators in this area were spaced much farther apart, at least thirty or forty meters.

The farther apart they were, the more spiritual energy was available in their surroundings, and the more benefits they would gain.

It was obvious this was the green area on the woman’s map.

Ye Haochuan suddenly became curious; the green area was already like this, so what would the red area be like?

Compared to the green area, the red area required twice as many jade tokens.

Just as he was about to move forward, the woman suddenly stopped and whispered to Ye Haochuan, ”Wait here a moment, I’ll be right back.”

Saying this, she suddenly turned and walked toward the left area.

Having walked not far, a young man with an energetic face came toward them.

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but be stunned; he actually recognized this young man.

”Young Master Tianyu, are you going to continue?” the woman asked the young man with a smile, unaware of Ye Haochuan’s reaction.

Damn, what a small world. He just ran into Ye Xiao outside, and now inside, Ji Tianyu shows up. It seems the heavens are deliberately trying to prevent him from cultivating here peacefully.

The enmity with Ji Tianyu is irreconcilable. Back then, Ye Haochuan twice snatched the Holy Peak inheritance from Ji Tianyu, making Ji Tianyu return empty-handed both times.

This not only slapped the face of Ji Tianyu, a super genius, but also the entire Ji Family’s face.

Moreover, the incident that Ji Tianyu will hold against him for a lifetime was that during their fight for the inheritance, he used an Enlightenment Pill to break through Core Formation. This meant he’d forever lose the chance of gaining such heritage from Holy Peak, a massive waste of talent.

Meeting Ji Tianyu here likely meant more trouble was ahead.

Upon hearing the woman’s words, Ji Tianyu suddenly let out a bitter laugh and said, ”No, I don’t have enough jade tokens.”

Hmm? That’s strange! As one of the five great geniuses comparable to Ye Xiao, Ji Tianyu should be cultivating in the red area. How could he not have enough jade tokens for the green area?

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but find it odd.

Although the Ji Family is slightly less renowned than the Ye Family, as an old super family, its foundation is probably even stronger than the Ye Family’s.

Being one of the five great geniuses, the Ye Family could easily allow Ye Xiao to reside in the red area, so how could the Ji Family not have enough resources for Ji Tianyu to stay in the green area?

With this thought in mind, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but take a closer look at Ji Tianyu. He was surprised to find that Ji Tianyu seemed much changed since last seeing him.

Previously, Ji Tianyu was a young prodigy, arrogant and sharp. But now, he seemed to have lost his edges, with a more settled demeanor, and his aura was much more restrained.

As his thoughts drifted, Ji Tianyu also came over. Upon seeing Ye Haochuan, his expression slightly changed.

”It’s you?” His tone carried a hint of surprise.
