No one knew what Ye Zhongming and Haman Dan discussed, not even Little Tiger, who didn't watch the battle. Not only were the people from Cloud Summit Villa curious, but so were those from Ying City, and even the radiant observers were intrigued. Leaders from other countries in the Asia region also found it curious.
The fourth-level roulette challenge was undoubtedly crucial; the rewards and gains were incomparable to the previous three roulettes. Moreover, the evolver known as Little Tiger possessed a purple weapon. Was there anything more important than the ownership of a purple weapon?
What they didn't know was that the matter being discussed by Ye Zhongming and Haman Dan was, in some ways, indeed more important than the purple weapon.
Stellar Sand and Nourishing Life Soil—these were top-tier treasures known as "national specialties" or "national treasures."
Ye Zhongming was wealthy and had acquired many good items, including the Thunderous Mechanic produced in the Screaming Cage, the golden Gate of Sacrifice, the purple Crystal Energy Magic Bullet Gun, the Treasure-Holding Gourd, the Demon Servicing Beehive, the Book of Celestial Vessels, the Staff of Nature, and so on. These items would be coveted by any survivor and could even lead to life-threatening troubles.
However, there was nothing that could truly be called the top-tier treasure.
If one had to find an item on Ye Zhongming that other similar items could not surpass, perhaps only Ghost Gold would qualify. Even the Four Symbols Power could not compare, as it was merely one of the materials for crafting legendary weapons and fell far short of the title "top-tier."
Even with Ghost Gold, Ye Zhongming had only obtained one hundred portions due to his incredible luck, and after using it along the way, very little remained. After today, he wasn't even sure if he would have any left.
But who would have thought he would encounter Stellar Sand?
This was undoubtedly a top-tier treasure.
What exactly was Stellar Sand? Why was it referred to as a "national specialty" or "national treasure"? Ye Zhongming wasn't particularly clear on this, especially the first part. He could only give a rough idea.
Basically, he knew that this substance had many uses; it could serve as both a material and a finished product, as a weapon and as food. It had many other capabilities as well.
Each one could provide survivors with incredible effects.
For instance, Ye Zhongming knew that the simplest and most direct ability of Stellar Sand was that it could be consumed. It was a life-saving medicine; as long as a survivor was not dead, even if there was only a breath left, consuming Stellar Sand could temporarily preserve their life for a certain period, depending on how much of this beautiful, colorful sand was eaten.
As long as one wasn’t immediately dead, with an evolver's physique and abnormal recovery abilities, it was almost equivalent to not dying at all.
This effect was comparable to legendary elixirs. Just this point alone guaranteed that survivors would elevate it to the highest esteem.
This was also what Ye Zhongming knew about this "national specialty" and its most famous effect.
Why did Ye Zhongming temporarily focus on cooperating with Haman Dan instead of paying attention to Little Tiger? Because upon seeing Stellar Sand, he thought that he had to obtain it; in case something really happened to Little Tiger, this item might come in handy.
As long as he used Stellar Sand to prolong his life, then Park Soo-young's professional skills could snatch Little Tiger from the hands of death.
Besides this capability, Ye Zhongming also knew that if Stellar Sand was used as a material, its effect wouldn't be inferior to Ghost Gold. In fact, due to its ability to display certain special features, many believed the value of this national specialty to be higher than the somewhat uncertain Ghost Gold.
In his previous life, whenever there was news of Stellar Sand appearing at trade fairs, it would lead to a bloody storm. Ye Zhongming had even participated in a competition for this top-tier treasure, but he only observed from the sidelines—the real competition was beyond his view.
