With Ye Chen joining them, the team grew to nine people.

The six middle-aged men still led the way, with Ye Chen, the young boy, and the girl trailing behind.

"Why are you collecting 'Blood Moon Stones'? I heard that these 'Blood Moon Stones' aren't even that valuable, and they are quite difficult to gather too," Ye Chen whispered to the young boy as they walked.

"My sister has already become a True God of the Three Tribulations, but because our family doesn't have enough 'Black Divine Coins,' she can't even go to the Circulation of Heaven Divine Institute. Now that another year of recruitment is upon us, we don't want my sister to miss another opportunity to cultivate. So, we came out to look for Blood Moon Stones to exchange for 'Black Divine Coins.' This year, if we can find a thousand 'Blood Moon Stones' and exchange them for a thousand 'Black Divine Coins,' together with the 'Black Divine Coins' saved by our family in previous years, it should be enough for my sister to attend the Circulation of Heaven Divine Institute," the young boy replied to Ye Chen.

"Little brother," the girl noticed the young boy speaking to Ye Chen about their desire to go to the Circulation of Heaven Divine Institute and couldn't help but get a little annoyed, "Stop talking, and concentrate on keeping up with dad and our uncles."

"Oh," the young boy hummed lightly and stopped speaking.

Ye Chen, however, felt rather conflicted at this moment.

He understood why the girl was reluctant to discuss the topic. She probably felt ashamed to reveal her family's decline in front of a stranger like him.

That Circulation of Heaven Divine Institute was a mere ordinary cultivation institute in the Circulation of Heaven Divine City, a place Ye Chen had inquired about after arriving in the city.

This kind of institute, when compared to the nine major divine institutes of the Divine Kingdom, was incomparable, not even on par with some great divine cities' institutes within the Wan Mu Mountain Divine Kingdom.

And yet, descendants of the highly respected Divine King, even unable to afford the entrance fee to such an institute, gave Ye Chen quite a heavy heart.

"Once I unlock the wealth left behind in the Divine Kingdom by the Divine King predecessor, not to mention the Circulation of Heaven Divine City, even the cultivation institutes of larger divine cities would be sufficient for this girl to attend!" Ye Chen thought.

"Sigh, for now, let's just help them find the Blood Moon Stones and fulfill this wish of theirs!"

With that thought, Ye Chen directly transmitted his voice to Xiaojiu, "Xiaojiu, search around carefully and see if there are any Blood Moon Stones nearby."

Xiaojiu, as a Soul Beast, was also of the extraordinarily powerful 'Nine Spirits Sparrow' kind!

She was naturally gifted with extraordinary Divine Soul strength, and almost her entire combat power was derived from that Divine Soul strength. Not only was she exceptionally intelligent and quick at absorbing knowledge, but Xiaojiu's ability to use Divine Soul to probe her surroundings was even stronger than Ye Chen's.

She could almost compare to the most top-notch True Gods of the Nine Tribulations in the Divine Kingdom!

In such a scenario, Xiaojiu's probing was naturally far superior to the exploration outcomes of the Zhou Family's six strongest middle-aged men from Fallen Moon City, who were merely common True Gods of the Six Tribulations.

Indeed, after hearing Ye Chen's words, Xiaojiu immediately sent her Divine Soul strength into the earth. The Zhou Family's six middle-aged men had passed by an area without any reaction, but Xiaojiu discovered quite a few Blood Moon Stones hidden below.

"Ye Chen, there are fifty-six fully formed Blood Moon Stones seven or eight meters to the left up ahead," Xiaojiu transmitted to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen nodded and headed in that direction.

"What are you doing? Don't fall behind," the girl stomped her feet impatiently when she saw Ye Chen leaving the group.

For some reason, whenever she saw the always calm Ye Chen, she felt as if he was just like her younger brother, a rash and troublesome young boy, and couldn't help but want to scold him more.

"It's nothing, I just have a feeling there's something strange around here, I believe, it seems like there are 'Blood Moon Stones,'" Ye Chen said with a faint smile, walking toward the place Xiaojiu had indicated.

"You think there are Blood Moon Stones?" The girl patted her forehead, somewhat at a loss with Ye Chen.

She, a True God of the Three Tribulations, hadn't detected any Blood Moon Stones, nor had her father and uncles who were True Gods of the Five and Six Tribulations in front of her, yet this young man in the late stage of Heaven Saint claims he feels the presence of Blood Moon Stones?

This left the girl somewhat at a loss for words with a mix of laughter and tears.

Just as the girl was about to stop Ye Chen and hurry him to catch up with the group, the young boy, upon hearing about Blood Moon Stones, became somewhat excited, "Where? Hurry up and dig them out. We've been searching for half a day and have only found a little over thirty Blood Moon Stones. Let's quickly search."

The young boy immediately ran in front of Ye Chen.

"Don't dawdle, you two, time is precious," the girl was saying, when she saw the spot where Ye Chen stood, and Ye Chen pointed his finger to the ground, flipping over heaps of dirt, revealing a pit several meters deep all at once.

Then, a pile of translucent red stones appeared in the pit, embedded in the dark soil.

Could it really be Blood Moon Stones?!

And not just one or two, but a good fifty pieces, far more than the thirty-some they had found after more than an hour of searching!

Seeing the fifty-plus shimmering Blood Moon Stones at the bottom of the pit under Ye Chen's feet, the girl was so astonished that she almost cried out in shock.

The girl managed to restrain herself, but the young man beside her had already started to shout excitedly, "It's really Blood Moon Stones, wow, more than fifty of them, sister, what a discovery!"

The young man hurriedly grabbed the Blood Moon Stones from the dirt with his hands.

Holding them in his hand and sensing that these Blood Moon Stones were indeed identical to the ones he had collected earlier, the young man was so excited that he was nearly fainting!

"Blood Moon Stones?" The six middle-aged men leading the way, hearing the boy's shrill cry, also turned around and walked towards Ye Chen and the young man and girl.

Upon seeing the fifty-six Blood Moon Stones revealed in the pit, these six middle-aged men were also so surprised that their mouths hung open.

"He's the one who found them!"

"He's so amazing!"

After the young man collected all the Blood Moon Stones, his gaze towards Ye Chen was filled with admiration.

Ye Chen touched his nose, smiled at the few people who were staring at him in amazement, and said, "The feeling, it's just a feeling."

They continued on their journey.

"I have a feeling there are Blood Moon Stones here too."

"We should take a look over there."

Every time Ye Chen pointed to a spot, the excited young man by his side would rush over to dig out the Blood Moon Stones.

The girl had her doubts about Ye Chen's sense at first.

But when her brother dug time after time, finding Blood Moon Stones again and again, and in less than half an hour, under Ye Chen's guidance they had unearthed more than four hundred Blood Moon Stones, the girl was so shaken that she felt dizzy.

On days when the Blood Moon aura was pervasive, they couldn't gather four hundred Blood Moon Stones in a whole night, and now, in less than half an hour, they had found over four hundred?

If this rate continued, they wouldn't need to wait until next month to gather a thousand Blood Moon Stones, they could collect enough today!

"Is this really Ye Chen's sense? Or does he truly have the strength to discover Blood Moon Stones?"

During their journey, she and her brother had talked with Ye Chen and learned each other's names.

The girl looked at Ye Chen, her gaze no longer the same as before when she looked at an impetuous young man, now filled with astonishment and shock.

"However, he's only at the late stage of Heavenly Saint, it's not possible to discover Blood Moon Stones by strength alone. After all, even my father, a Six-Tribulations true god, couldn't find them! Could it really be a feeling?"

Just when the girl still couldn't quite believe it, her brother, under Ye Chen's guidance, dug up another fifty-plus Blood Moon Stones.

Seeing her brother holding up piece after piece of Blood Moon Stone, the girl named Zhou Yue, her beautiful eyes looking at Ye Chen, had only one thought.

They had encountered a magical young man!
