All The Treasures That I Hide Are Multiplied 10,000 Times In Value - Chapter 14

Chapter 14: Lost Land of Ancestors, Green-Faced Guards

Qin Xiao quickly received the blueprint of the Demon Castle after transferring the Snow Saliva Magic Buns.

With the system as a guarantee, Qin Xiao was not afraid that the other party would go back on her word.

After getting the blueprint, Qin Xiao finally understood why the other party didn’t use such a good item.

Demon Castle—Special building. Level can be upgraded. Every demon should have their own territory, and the castle is the best proof of a demon’s strength. Construction effect: All units in the territory will have their attributes increased by 10% (LV1), recovery speed increased by 50% (LV1), and defense increased by 100% (LV1).

This information was obviously hidden by He Yingying.

However, the key to why the other party was willing to sell it was the following line.

Construction Requirements: Earth Crystal x1, Stone x50,000, Wood x30,000, Ore x10,000, Gold coin x50,000…

The cost of building this demon castle was simply too great.

Even Qin Xiao’s current labor force needed a long time to gather so many resources, let alone other demons.

They couldn’t afford it at all!

Even so, Qin Xiao was determined to build the castle.

Other than the advantages mentioned above, the most important thing was that this castle covered a huge area!

Once completed, it could connect all the areas in his territory, including Snow Valley, Demonic Field, and Oak Village.

It would become a true demon city!

In order to achieve this goal, Qin Xiao had to spend money again!

Qin Xiao left behind 50,000 gold coins to build the castle and spent the remaining 30,000 gold coins on the Demon Crystal.

“Summon!”

Successfully summoned Phantom Laborers x2,500, Phantom Hunters x250, Coins consumed x30,000

Every ten Phantom Laborers were protected by a hunter. This was the best distribution plan Qin Xiao had come up with after countless experiments.

It was believed that with the efforts of this group of laborers, resources would soon be gathered.

As for the earth crystal, he could only think of another way.

A few days later.

An old man from Oak Village and an elder went to look for Qin Xiao.

The old man was originally the prophet of Oak Village who lived in seclusion. It was unknown how long he had lived on this icy plain.

However, the prophet had already looked like this when the elder just remembered things.

The decline of the Oak Clan made him die inside.

Qin Xiao’s appearance changed everything.

It also ignited a flame that had been buried in the prophet’s heart for a long time.

“Sir, sorry for my unannounced visit, but I have a request for you.”

Although the old man was only a subject on his territory, Qin Xiao was still very polite to him due to his age.

“Sir, please speak.”

“I hope that you can lead the Oak Clan back to its former glory!”

Hope filled the prophet’s eyes as she spoke.

“Thousands of years ago, the Oak Clan was an extremely powerful existence in this land!”

“We had a spacious land and tens of thousands of people!”

“But it was all ruined by a rival family.”

“They used despicable methods to break up the Oak Clan and then took the opportunity to attack my clan.”

“Our clansmen were either dead or fleeing.”

“Now, this bit of bloodline is left here, struggling at death’s door in this Boundless Icefield.”

“This is an ancestral land left behind by the ancestors of my bloodline when they fled. It’s said that countless treasures were buried inside!”

“But we’re weak. No one has the ability to return to the ancestral land and retrieve the treasures inside.”

“I’ve never seen anyone as valiant as you in my life. I feel inferior to you.”

“As long as you promise me that you will lead our Oak Clan to restore the glory of the past, I am willing to offer the treasures of this ancestral land to you.”

With that, the prophet took out a yellowed scroll and placed it on his head before bowing to Qin Xiao.

Through those turbid eyes, Qin Xiao seemed to have seen a huge population that had once been extremely powerful.

He immediately helped the prophet up.

“You don’t have to do this, old mister. I don’t need you to tell me. Since the Oak Clan is under my command, I will bring it to the peak of the Continent of Gods and Evils!”

“Thank you for your help, my lord.”

“Old mister, how trustworthy is the information about the treasures you mentioned?”

“Sir, when I was young, there were people in my clan who went to search for it, but because I was not strong enough, I returned empty-handed.”

“But I believe that with your strength, you will definitely succeed!”

Qin Xiao thought for a moment.

He had learned a lot about the personalities of these Oak people over the past few days.

Although the elder was an old fox who always wanted to obtain more benefits for his clansmen, they were generally honest and kind.

They probably wouldn’t lie to him.

Moreover, Qin Xiao had given them such good living conditions. There was no benefit in harming him.

All the hustle and bustle in the world was for the sake of profit.

They would not do anything without benefits.

Qin Xiao temporarily believed the prophet’s words.

“Alright, wait for me outside the valley for fifteen minutes. Then, we’ll go to the ancestral land together.”

“I want to see what has been stopping you from returning for thousands of years.”

“Yes, my lord!”

After the two of them left, Qin Xiao immediately gathered his army.

500 ghouls, 30 Mutant Ghosts, and 35 Phantom Hunters.

Qin Xiao actually had 320 Phantom Hunters, but in order to protect the Phantom Laborers in a ratio of 1:10, he only gathered 35 of them to follow him on the mission.

The remaining 285 Phantom Hunters matched up to 2,850 Phantom Laborers.

Qin Xiao led his troops out of the valley.

Looking at the 60-odd Level 1 elite units that were not much weaker than him, the prophet felt more and more at ease.

“Let’s go!”

Qin Xiao took the lead and led the army towards the Oak Ancestral Land.

…

The wind in the Boundless Icefield was bone-chilling all year round, sweeping up ice shards that filled the sky. When they hit people, the travelers gritted their teeth in pain.

In the snowstorm, a group of people advanced in an orderly manner.

“Sir, we’re almost there.”

Although the prophet was old, her legs were not slow at all.

He walked to Qin Xiao’s side and pointed at a cave not far ahead.

“That’s the ancestral land.”

In fact, even without the prophet’s reminder, the True Vision had already indicated the location a long time ago.

As soon as he entered this area, the True Vision’s notification popped up.

This made Qin Xiao even more certain that the prophet was not lying to him.

Ancestral Land of the Oak Clan—a special Level 1 mystic realm. A thousand years ago, the powerful Oak Clan controlled this land. However, as time passed and the world changed, all the glory was gone. The ancestral land might have become the last mark of the Oak Clan’s glorious past. The level of danger is high, and the value of exploration is high. Items available: Demon Essence…

“Demon Essence?”

Qin Xiao had a question in his mind. Anything with the word ‘mama’ was not simple.

Suddenly, a deafening voice interrupted his thoughts.

“Are you from the Oak Clan?”
