I really became a king.

Chapter 502 Companion Spirit Treasure - Palm Fire Bamboo

Jiang Yi has not explored the Yinshan Realm in detail.

The last time I came in using the Yinshan Secret Order, I fled and killed all the way. Although I gained a lot of opportunities, they were all fleeting.

Even though he later founded Taimang, he did not stay in Yinshan Realm for too long because he was distracted by the affairs of Manghuang Continent.

Now that the situation in the Manghuang Continent has temporarily stabilized, it had originally planned to shift its focus to the Yinshan Realm. While developing its own power, it would also explore opportunities and look for ancient ruins, secret realms, and the like.

Unexpectedly, before he could take any action, the Long Eyebrow Patriarch discovered a relic. This luck is really a good thing.

The Changmei Patriarch led Jiang Yi into the camp and came to a dry willow tree.

"Is this willow tree the entrance to the ancient ruins?"

Jiang Yi looked at the dead willow tree, walked around it a few times, and found nothing unusual.

"Prince Yi, why don't you break off a willow branch and try it?" suggested the Changmei Patriarch.

Jiang Yi followed his instructions and pinched a willow branch, then let out a light "eh". Even though he used all his strength, he failed to break the branch that looked dry and would break with a pinch.

"I didn't notice it at first. I was just a little curious. This small city-state is not small. The last place where the ogres held on was actually a dead willow tree." The long-browed ancestor explained.

"Although this willow tree is strange, how did the ancestor determine that it is the entrance to a ruins?" Jiang Yi asked curiously.

"Haha, Lord Yi, you don't know that I have lived for so many years and have been fortunate enough to encounter several ancient ruins. The aura they exude is very similar to that of this willow tree..."

Seeing Jiang Yi frowning, the long-browed ancestor continued, "A powerful dog-headed man finally confessed that this willow tree was the entrance to an ancient ruins because he was afraid of death. And because of selfish reasons, he did not report it to the dog-headed people's superiors."

"Where is that dog-headed man?" Jiang Yi asked, feeling somewhat reliable now.

"I killed him!" The long-browed ancestor said calmly, "Because even the dog-headed man couldn't find a way to open this ancient relic, and he knew nothing about it. Keeping him would only lead to the news leaking out."

Jiang Yi nodded without saying anything, reached out to touch the dry tree trunk, and the golden man in the Shanshui Martial Realm moved rapidly.

Feeling the mysterious aura flowing around Jiang Yi, the Long-Eyebrowed Patriarch was secretly amazed, but he said nothing. He just stood there and waited quietly.

After about half a cup of tea, Jiang Yi retracted his hand, sighed, and said, "It is indeed an ancient relic, but it is not ready to be unveiled yet. However, it will be unveiled soon, in two to three months."

When Changmei Patriarch heard this, his expression changed.

Ancient ruins like this have not appeared in the wild continent for many years, but they are recorded in some ancient books.

The emergence of every ancient relic or secret realm is bound to be accompanied by strange phenomena in heaven and earth, and it is impossible to conceal it.

It will definitely attract the attention of all races in Yinshan Realm. With [Taimang]'s current strength, he can't resist it at all, so he can't help but ask:
"What is Prince Yi going to do?"

"What else can we do? We can only deal with it as it comes..." Jiang Yi said helplessly.

He felt really helpless in his heart. According to his original plan, his only goal in Yinshan Realm in the near future was to take over Xingyue City.

But this ancient relic will be unearthed in two or three months, so there is a time conflict, so I can only choose one of the two.

"The most urgent task is to strengthen the defense of this camp. At least before the ruins are revealed, no foreign races can break in."

"It would be great if this camp had its own protective spiritual creature..." Jiang Yi sighed. The palm-sized mansion was too rare to obtain, and it was simply unrealistic.

The two long eyebrows of the Long Eyebrow Patriarch moved: "For the time being, there is no need to consider the Palm Palace. However, if there is a protective treasure like the archway outside Taimang City, and then a large army and powerful cultivators are stationed there, there shouldn't be a big problem..."

Jiang Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head. The archway in Taimang was a rare treasure. It was because of this archway that humans built the wild village there.

Where could he find such a treasure in such a hurry? "What else did you get?" Jiang Yi asked another question.

The long-browed ancestor pointed and said, "We got some spoils from the dog-headed leader, and asked Fan Huai to collect them all."

At this time, Fan Huai had already arranged the defense of the camp and was standing in the distance waiting to be summoned by Jiang Yi. When he saw Jiang Yi waving, he walked over.

"Your Majesty, this is the spoils we got from the Kobold this time."

As he spoke, he handed a storage ring to Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi took it in his hand but did not open it immediately.

Fan Huai continued, "In addition, we have captured thousands of dog-headed men and hundreds of wolf mounts. What should we do with them?"

Jiang Yi looked towards the distance, where there were more than a thousand kobolds and hundreds of black-maned war wolf mounts. They no longer had their previous arrogance, and were all trembling with fear.

However, there are a few who are still unruly, with fierce and violent eyes.

Jiang Yi said nothing, and used the "Mountain-Grabbing and Mountain-Shrinking Hand" technique. A huge hand appeared out of thin air right above the dog-headed man and grabbed him.

Then, thousands of kobolds and hundreds of war wolf mounts disappeared, as if they had never appeared.

This scene stunned everyone present; this was the first time they had seen such a method.

Even the old ancestor with long eyebrows had a solemn look in his eyes. He knew the "Mountain-Capturing and Mountain-Shrinking Hand", a secret technique of the Wu Yaohou Mansion.

But what about disappearing out of thin air?

He turned his head and looked up and down at Jiang Yi, who seemed to be fine, wondering where all the dog-headed men had gone. He became more cautious about his attitude towards the Prince Yi in front of him.

With Jiang Yi's casual grab just now, thousands of gnolls and hundreds of war wolf mounts were thrown directly into the Black Prison Mountain. Then, in full view of everyone, he swung the measuring ruler.

After being hit three feet high, the dog heads that had previously had ferocious and resentful expressions on their faces were instantly scared to death.

This scene made the remaining dog heads and war wolf mounts tremble with fear, and they dared not have any evil thoughts anymore.

Afterwards, they were sent to the Palm Camp. After some thought, the palm decided to send these thousand dog-headed men to the ranch and turn them into horse slaves.

Jiang Yi's mind went to the mountain and water martial realm. When he came back to his senses, a crisp and oily plant appeared in his palm. It was all fiery red. He smiled and said:

"I almost forgot, this might be able to serve as a protective spiritual object for this small city-state."

"Is this... bamboo? Red bamboo?" The long-browed ancestor had become numb and no longer bothered about what kind of space was hidden in Jiang Yi's body.

The only thing he was curious about was this crisp and faint bamboo. He could feel that it was a rare treasure, and its grade was no lower than that of Taimang Archway.

"Let's just call it 'Palm Fire Bamboo'?" Jiang Yi said with a smile as he looked at the seven-inch-high thin bamboo in his palm.

"The aura of the fire bamboo in the palm of this hand... seems to be very similar to the aura of Prince Yi..." The long-browed ancestor stared at the red bamboo held in Jiang Yi's palm.

"It's nothing special. This thin bamboo can be considered as my companion spiritual treasure..." Jiang Yi did not deny it.

Companion spirit creature? This... The old ancestor Changmei felt that his brain was not enough. Humans can also have a companion spirit creature?

He had never heard of this in all his years of life!
