Chapter 70 - 70: Tightening Business, Years of Decreased Profits (3/5) _1
Ye Qing had prepared many Cultivation Techniques for herself, all of varying attributes.
Ye Qing inscribed each one into a Jade Slip one by one until, in a short amount of time, she was surrounded by dozens of Jade Slips.
Looking at the Jade Slips before her, Ye Qing hesitated.
Ye Qing wanted to give the Jade Slips to Ye Fan, but if Ye Fan asked from where they came, how could she explain their origin?
Did she find them?
Even Ye Qing herself didn’t believe that.
“My lord, these are your resources for the month, remember to use them all,” Jin Qiu handed Ye Qing a storage pouch and added a word of caution.
Ye Qing had once been too reluctant to use the resources, having only spent half of it in a month, prompting Jin Qiu to remind Ye Qing to use them all up.
How can one rapidly increase their cultivation level if they do not use resources?
Seeing the storage pouch before her, Ye Qing was overwhelmed with emotions.
In her previous life, Ye Qing was always an independent cultivator, and she always tried to split a resource into two pieces just to use it.
That was the reason why she only used half of the resources in a month back then.
Witnessing the Ye family’s extravagant use of resources for the first time, and being the one who was reaping those benefits, was a first for Ye Qing.
Looking at the storage pouch and then Jin Qiu, Ye Qing’s eyes were filled with determination.
The Ye family had treated her so well, so why should she hesitate?
Ye Qing believed that Ye Fan’s vision would not care about these details.
With this thought, Ye Qing stood up, holding the storage pouch, and headed towards Ye Fan’s main room.
“Father.”
Ye Qing knocked on Ye Fan’s door, calling out to him respectfully.
“Come in, what brings you here today?” Ye Fan said with a smile.
“Are you running out of resources? I can offer you some of mine, but don’t tell anyone, okay?”
Ye Fan, being generous to his son-in-law, was ready to take out some resources from his storage pouch.
Ye Fan’s readiness to offer resources caught Ye Qing by surprise, and she hurriedly stopped Ye Fan.
“Father, I have enough resources, more than I can use. I came to see you for something else,” Ye Qing bit her lips, waved her hand, and a stack of Jade Slips appeared on the table.
Upon seeing this, Ye Fan’s face became serious. He picked up a Jade Slip, and his spiritual sense probed into it.
A Wooden attributed Cultivation Technique for the Golden Core Stage, Establishment of Heavenly Wood, suitable for cultivation until the peak of the Golden Core stage.
He picked up another Jade Slip, once again a Cultivation Technique meant for cultivation until the peak of the Golden Core stage.
Magical Techniques and Cultivation Techniques of the Five Elements, all were present.
Even with Ye Fan’s heart and mind, his eyes were filled with shock.
He’d been busy for so long without being able to find a single Cultivation Technique. Now, suddenly, so many were presented right in front of him, and Ye Fan felt overwhelmed.
He’d been doing so much for his children all his life, but now he was benefitting from their work?
“Father, these Cultivation Techniques were found by chance. I wanted to contribute to the family,” Ye Qing scratched her head and said somewhat uneasily.
“Heh, found by chance, eh?”
Ye Fan rolled his eyes. Was she treating him like a fool?
Randomly acquiring so many Cultivation Techniques in one go, why doesn’t he just randomly acquire a divine beast.
However, Ye Fan didn’t inquire further. There’s nothing wrong with having a little secret within family members.
Ye Fan already had some speculation about Ye Qing’s identity.
Some powerful cultivators, relying on certain treasures, are able to live another lifetime.
And these Cultivation Techniques, were probably prepared in the previous life for this current one.
Ye Fan showed a smug smile. All those novels he read in his past life weren’t for nothing. He had even rewarded many authors, especially one named MO Bei, whom he particularly liked.
Even though it felt a little awkward being called father by an old character possibly older than himself, Ye Fan’s impression of Ye Qing improved greatly.
As long as Ye Qing had the Ye family in her heart, everything else could be discussed.
Ye Fan waved his hand and collected the Jade Slips.
He waved his hand again, and a large number of resources appeared in front of
Ye Qing.
“Reward must follow contribution. These are your rewards.” “Remember, they must be used within the year.”
Ye Fan, recalling Ye Qing’s nature, added.
Ye Qing didn’t refuse. Instead, she nodded seriously, “Understood, Father.” The Ye Family – in the future, it would also be his, Ye Qing’s, Ye Family.
Even among cultivator families, few were as warm and welcoming as the Ye Family.
Ye Qing conveyed that he loved the Ye Family as it was.
After Ye Qing left, Ye Fan began to examine the cultivation techniques within the jade slips.
“Congratulations, host, on completing a long-term task: Ye Family Cultivation Technique Six: Gold Core Technique (completed). You may claim the reward.”
Perfect!
“System, claim the reward.”
“Congratulations, host, on receiving the reward: 300 family luck points, family divine skill: Green Jiao Body.”
Family Divine Skill: Green Jiao Body. A bloodline divine skill that allows you to activate the bloodline power within your body, gradually unveiling Green Jiao characteristics. If the bloodline is deep enough, you may transform into a Green Jiao.
Ye Fan immediately activated the divine skill Green Jiao Body; scales appeared all over his body.
Ye Fan’s pupils also underwent considerable changes, both eyes transformed into Jiao pupils.
The world, in the light of Ye Fan’s eyes, changed considerably.
Ye Fan looked towards the horizon. The formation hovering around the Ye family was visibile in its entirety through Ye Fan’s gaze.
He could also discern weak points within the formation.
When Ye Fan tried to observe other people’s magic, he found that he could also spot its vulnerabilities.
Just a bit of magic power was enough to easily shatter any magic spell.
The Jiao pupils even had the ability to see through weaknesses.
Ye Fan’s bloodline power was the most profound in the Ye family.
After using the divine skill, the transformation was significant.
Jiao Scales, Jiao Pupils.
Jiao Scales enhanced Ye Fan’s defensive ability, the kind that could be stacked with Green Jiao’s power.
Jiao Pupils could see through weaknesses, enhancing combat capabilities.
Ye Fan placed the Green Jiao Body divine skill and various other cultivation techniques at the top of the Scripture Depository.
Moreover, he informed the entire family about Ye Qing’s contributions.
The people of the Ye Family were overwhelmingly enthusiastic about Ye Qing.
“What useless son-in-law, this is my brother, Ye Jintian’s, Ye Jinhai’s, and Ye Jinlong’s brother!”
Ye Qing was fully accepted!
After returning from Dongshi Prefecture, Ye Fan always had a sense of urgency.
Before the war spread to Guanghe Prefecture, the Ye Family needed to be able to protect themselves.
Star Luo Sect, Soul Devouring Sect, neither were easy to deal with.
Golden Core Stage was the minimum assurance.
Fortunately, after the green snake bloodline was upgraded to Green Jiao bloodline, the Ye family members’ cultivation speeds increased significantly.
Other shops started to sell goods like mad, aiming to earn illegitimate wealth.
Yet, Ye Fan started to tighten his defenses. Most of the resources were either stored or used for the family’s cultivation.
Ye Fan knew that wartime money wasn’t that easy to earn.
The consequence of tightening up was that the Ye family’s profits began to plummet.
The first year, the Ye family’s profit fell to three million low-grade spirit stones.
The second year, they were left with only two million low-grade spirit stones. The people of the Ye Family started to go out less, choosing to concentrate on cultivation In their cave houses.
At this time, cultivation level was the most important.
Three years later…
Character: Ye Fan
Lifespan: 187 years
Level: Peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage (149999/150000) Just a step away from the Golden Core Stage!
At this point, a team of cultivators appeared at the Ye Family!
Three Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, and over a dozen Qi Refinement Realm cultivators arrived outside the Ye Family!
“Clan Leader, people from Star Luo Sect have arrived!”
