Chapter 228 Ten Thousand Years Clam Pearl
Ye Bai asked again: "Can I only take one piece?"
Zhang Ruifeng nodded heavily: "You are the first person who can enter the Zhang family's treasury to select treasures. Even our elders cannot enter the treasury to select treasures without great contribution."
Ye Bai naturally understood Zhang Ruifeng's underlying meaning, which meant that he was a great blessing to have this opportunity, so stop thinking about it.
"Okay, just choose that one!" Ye Bai pointed to the patterned chain closest to him.
Zhang Ruifeng nodded: "Tianzi No. 7, you can't regret it if you choose it. Are you sure?"
"Number seven? What's the significance of this number?" Ye Bai asked.
"Our Zhang family will number all the treasures put into the warehouse. Number seven represents the seventh Tianzi treasure put into the warehouse. At the peak of the Zhang family, there were only seven treasures in the Tianzi treasure house."
Ye Bai understood that the treasure he chose was the last Tianzi treasure stored in the Zhang family.
"When was this treasure put into storage?"
"During the Wanli Period of the Ming Dynasty."
Ye Bai couldn't help but ask: "It has been more than four hundred years since then. During this period, your Zhang family has not found any new treasures to enter the Tianzi Library?"
Zhang Ruifeng shook his head: "Treasures from heaven are hard to come by. Once you open them, you will know how precious the contents are."
Hearing what Zhang Ruifeng said, Ye Bai became really curious. The hundred-year-old Zhuguo can only be found in the earth, so what is the treasure in the sky?
Zhang Ruifeng waved his hand, and the Zhang family outside controlled the mechanism and slowly raised the chain.
A bronze treasure chest emerged from the mercury. Zhang Ruifeng wiped off the mercury on the surface and handed the treasure chest to Ye Bai.
"This thing is yours. Take it away and remember to return the treasure box to us."
Ye Bai looked at the bronze treasure box. There was no pattern decoration on the outside, but the material was special and somewhat similar to bronze stones. This treasure box should have a special effect on the Zhang family, otherwise it would not be taken back.
Open the treasure box, and a shining pink orb is revealed.
"What is this?"
"Ten thousand years of clam pearls. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the Zhang family caught a large clam in the East China Sea and took out this pearl. The clam's meat can nourish blood and strengthen the body and improve physical fitness. The clam pearl has the effect of repelling water."
"Avoid water?"
Ye Bai was a little surprised. This thing seemed to be a legendary thing from the immortal family.
"You can only avoid water for three feet, don't get too happy too soon." Zhang Ruifeng broke Ye Bai's fantasy.
Ye Bai was a little disappointed. He could only avoid water for three feet, and he could open a circular space with a diameter of one meter underwater, which was quite useless.
But think about it, if the treasures in the treasure house were useful to the Zhang family, they would have been taken away long ago and would not be left to eat ashes in the Mercury Galaxy.
After taking Ye Bai out of the mercury treasure house, Zhang Ruifeng said again: "I will take you to meet someone later. After meeting, I have something to ask of you."
"What's the matter? Let's go to your Zhang family's forbidden area?"
Zhang Ruifeng and Ye Bai had mentioned the forbidden area before, saying that Zhang Qiling, the younger brother, was only the heir of the Zhang family and was not considered the patriarch.
To become the patriarch of the Zhang family, you need to go through the Zhang family's internal assessment, and the forbidden area assessment is the most difficult. Zhang Ruifeng had previously hoped that Ye Bai could participate and help Zhang Qiling.
Zhang Ruifeng shook his head and sighed deeply: "You can't go to the forbidden area because the Council of Elders didn't pass it."
"Failed?" Ye Bai frowned slightly and asked again: "Is it because of my relationship with the Wang family?"
Zhang Ruifeng nodded: "The Zhang family's forbidden land is of great importance. The elders have to be cautious. I am powerless to change this result."
Ye Bai nodded. He only wanted to help his little brother when he agreed to go to the forbidden area. Thinking of his troubled experience, Ye Bai couldn't help but sigh.
Now that the Zhang family doubts his identity, it is expected that he will not be allowed to enter the forbidden area.
It's a good thing not to get too entangled with the Zhang family, but I don't know if Zhang Qiling alone can successfully pass the forbidden area assessment.
"The person you want to take me to see is Zhang Qiling?"
"Yes, this time the Zhang family has encountered an unprecedented crisis. The inheritance of the clan leader is uncertain, the twelve main lines in the clan are torn apart, and the entire Zhang family is in disarray..."
Ye Bai quickly interrupted: "Why are you telling me these things? I can't help with the Zhang family's affairs."
Zhang Ruifeng glanced at the pink clam beads in Ye Bai's hand, and Ye Bai quickly hid the clam beads back and put them into the storage space.
"Meson space, great skill."
Ye Bai smiled and spread his hands: "I really can't help the Zhang family. I came to the Zhang family yesterday with good intentions, but your Zhang family's actions made me feel chilled. It was a trial and torture.
Who do you think I, Ye Bai, am? This clam bead can only barely make up for my damaged soul. Don’t even think about going back."
Zhang Ruifeng showed a wry smile, this kid is really thick-skinned, just wipe his mouth clean after eating.
"I don't ask you for anything about the Zhang family. I hope I can get you a promise with this clam pearl."
"What promise?"
"If something happens to the Zhang family, I hope you can protect Zhang Qiling!"
Ye Bai thought deeply, whether it is difficult to protect Zhang Qiling, it is not easy to say it is easy.
If the Zhang family is destroyed and only Zhang Qiling is left, it will not be a threat to the Wang family. The Wang family is an organization that values interests and will not kill everyone. Maybe they will use Zhang Qiling's identity to find the secrets hidden by the Zhang family.
But Ye Bai still has some doubts in his heart: "Why don't you let Zhang Qishan do this? His subordinates are no less powerful than me. He will still be a high-ranking official of the party and state in the future, and he can be considered a member of the Zhang family."
Zhang Ruifeng shook his head: "He can't do it. To tell you the truth, I saw him yesterday. He sneaked into the Zhang family's sacrificial house and wanted to find the Zhang family's genealogy."
"What happened next?"
"I gave him the genealogy, and after he looked through it, he asked me about his grandfather Zhang Ruitong. I could see that he had hatred for the Zhang family, and I felt uneasy about entrusting him with the Zhang family's only hope."
Ye Bai smiled: "Then you can rest assured if you leave it to me?"
Zhang Ruifeng glanced at Ye Bai: "I have lived for more than a hundred years, and I still have this bit of vision. Although you are thick-skinned and greedy, you are better than being cautious. You have your own bottom line in your heart. Whether it is Zhang Tiantao or Zhang Wenyu, they will treat you
Ye Sanye’s reviews are all good.”
Ye Bai was speechless. The old guy praised and scolded him, making it difficult for people to find fault with him.
Afterwards, Zhang Ruifeng made another pointer: "Zhang Qishan is ambitious, so you have to beware of him."
Ye Bai nodded, knowing that Zhang Ruifeng would not say such a thing for no reason. After thinking about it, he said: "I will accept the promise. Let me meet Zhang Qiling."
Zhang Ruifeng smiled: "Okay!"
After the younger brother Zhang Qiling was brought back from Yunnan by Zhang Tiantao and others, he has been undergoing training within the clan.
He currently lives on the second floor underground.
This floor is full of traps designed by the Zhang family, specifically used to train the younger generations of the Zhang family.
Standing outside the iron gate, Ye Bai saw from a distance the little brother nimbly avoiding traps in the corridor.
