Sacred Text was written by Sages.
The so-called Ancient Sacred Text was written by the Sages of the ancient era.
Ye Xingchen was surprised that the Lake Tai Relic actually had the Ancient Sacred Text.
Sages could destroy the Star in the sky. A strand of their hair could kill a Heaven Ascension Realm martial artist. A drop of blood and a bone were precious materials for refining elixir pills and weapons.
Lake Tai Relic. Could there be a relic underwater in Lake Tai? Ye Xingchen pondered.
When Zhang Zilan saw Ye Chen's contemplative expression, she smiled and said, "Junior Brother Ye, do you have any thoughts about the words recorded on the beast hide?"
Ye Xingchen looked at her and said, "I'm just wondering what kind of place the Lake Tai Relic is."
Zhang Zilan explained, "The Lake Tai Relic is located underwater. It's an underwater palace with a radius of 50 kilometers. It's filled with dangers. Ever since the Martial Arts Hall discovered it, they've only explored the outer region.
"Furthermore, the array in the relic only has a loophole every ten years. Only the Martial Arts Hall Elders and disciples can enter and explore it."
Ye Xingchen was surprised, "Disciples can enter and explore it too?"
Zhang Zilan seemed to know what he was thinking and said, "Disciples can indeed enter, but only the top ten of the Martial Roll can enter. This year's Martial Roll Competition will begin in another ten days, and today is also the day when the Lake Tai Ruins' loophole appears."
"However, Junior Brother Ye, although your strength is not bad, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for you to enter the top ten of the Martial Roll."
On the other side, Nie Ming, who saw Ye Xingchen and Zhang Zilan talking intimately, was burning with rage.
At this moment, he thought of an idea to embarrass Ye Xingchen.
"Senior Sister Luo, I think I've seen the text on the hide somewhere before, but I can't recall it," Nie Ming suddenly said.
Luo Lingxia's eyes lit up and she smiled, "Don't worry, Junior Brother Nie. You can come to the Sunset Villa if you recall it in the future."
Nie Ming had been waiting for Luo Lingxia to say this. He would have more chances to come into contact with Luo Lingxia in the future. Would he be afraid that he couldn't win her heart?
Ye Xingchen chatted with Zhang Zilan for a while, then turned his attention back to the holy text on the animal skin.
"So it's an article, but it's only two sentences. What a pity." Ye Xingchen thought to himself.
An article written by a Saint, even if it was an ordinary article, had extraordinary effects.
Ye Xingchen's spiritual force had reached the peak of the First Rank Spirit Realm. He could vaguely feel the spiritual force emitting from the animal skin. If he stimulated it, it would be able to cleanse his spirit and strengthen his spiritual force.
If a martial artist who cultivated mental strength found this article, he would definitely be overjoyed.
Of course, ordinary martial artists could also make use of the essence, qi, and spirit of the Sage contained in the beast hide to improve their state of mind and mental strength.
Nie Ming had long disliked Ye Xingchen. At this moment, he just happened to see the latter's gaze fixed on the animal hide.
The corner of his mouth curled up to reveal an almost imperceptible sneer, "Junior Brother Ye, I see that your gaze has always been on the beast hide. You must've already deciphered the meaning of the words on the beast hide!"
Whoosh!
As soon as his words came out, everyone's eyes shot over to Ye Xingchen.
"Senior Brother Nie Ming said that Ye Xingchen has deciphered the words on the beast hide. Could it be true?"
"Haha, Brother, you are so silly. Everyone in the Martial Arts Hall knows that Nie Ming is pursuing Senior Sister Zhang. But now, Senior Sister Zhang is acting so friendly to Ye Xingchen. Why would he let Ye Xingchen be in the limelight? He must be praising Ye Xingchen first before giving him a hard blow."
"Hehe, this is going to be a good show. I wonder what Ye Xingchen will say."
Some people in the inner court were discussing in low voices. All of them looked like they were watching a good show.
Mo Yunxi glanced at Nie Ming and frowned slightly.
Luo Lingxia's gaze fell on Ye Xingchen and asked, "Junior Brother Ye, what do you think about the words on the beast hide?"
Ye Xingchen replied directly, "Senior Sister Luo, I am just curious. I have no opinion."
Luo Lingxia was disappointed.
She thought about it carefully and realized that it was right. Ye Xingchen didn't express his opinion from the beginning. He was probably just curious and didn't want to talk about the ancient language.
Nie Ming wouldn't let Ye Xingchen off so easily. He said, "Junior Brother Ye, don't be so humble. If you have any opinion, just say it. We won't laugh at you."
Zhang Zilan didn't say anything. She crossed her arms and looked at Ye Xingchen and Nie Ming. She didn't look like she was afraid of making things worse.
Mo Yunxi was very annoyed. She said, "Nie Ming, Junior Brother Ye doesn't have any opinion. Why are you still going after him and purposely picking on him? Aren't you going too far?"
Nie Ming smiled and said, "Senior Sister Mo, you misunderstood. I just want to decipher the words on the beast hide as soon as possible. I have no intention of picking on Junior Brother Ye."
Ye Xingchen suddenly said, "Senior Brother Nie, why don't we make a bet?"
Nie Ming was surprised and said, "Bet? What's the bet?"
"A bet to see who can decipher the words on the beast hide. If I win, these thirty spirit crystals are yours. If you lose, you have to pay the same amount."
Ye Xingchen took out a crystal card. It was the crystal card Mo Yunxi had given him before.
He had no problem deciphering the ancient holy text. Moreover, he could decipher it to the point where people would be speechless.
That was why he proposed a bet. He could earn some spirit crystals to use for his cultivation.
Nie Ming smiled. He fell into the trap himself. He couldn't have asked for more. He said, "Sure."
He flicked his finger and a crystal card fell on the table.
Nie Ming said again, "Junior Brother Ye, since you proposed a bet, why don't we increase the stakes? If you win, I will give you the thirty spirit crystals with both hands. If you lose, I don't want your spirit crystals. I just want you to crawl out of the manor. How about it? Do you dare?"
He had seen the beast hide earlier and already knew the words on it. He would definitely win this bet.
Moreover, he wants to humiliate Ye Xingchen. He wants to humiliate me.
"Crawl out of the manor?"
Ye Xingchen revealed a faint smile and said, "Senior Brother Nie, if that's the case, I will add a Lower Grade Spiritual Martial Skill, Heavenly Thunder Palm as the stake."
Nie Ming sneered in his heart. Increase the stakes. I want to see your expression when you lose.
"Junior Brother Ye, since you are so interested, I will add this ore." Nie Ming took out a black ore the size of a palm.
Nie Ming explained, "I found this ore by chance. I don't know its name, but it is very hard. Normal flames can't melt it. I estimate that this ore is at least comparable to a Rank 3 Spiritual Iron."
Boom!
The crowd was astonished when they saw the two of them taking out one precious item after another to place their bets.
"Does Ye Xingchen really know the ancient text on the beast hide?
Otherwise, why would he be so confident to propose a bet? "
"Hehe, maybe Ye Xingchen was angered by Nie Ming."
"Sigh, Ye Xingchen is still too young."
