Clan Cultivation: The Ye Clan

The first light of dawn.

Today, everyone in the Ye family courtyard got up very early.

With their prepared items in hand, the family headed to the shop.

After Ye Anyuan arrived, he carefully inspected the shop inside and out to confirm that everything was ready.

He looked at Ye Amber and nodded.

Ye Anbo looked up at the time and walked out the door.

Ye Anbo lit the firecrackers.

The crackling sound echoed throughout the alley.

Ye Shiqing and Ye Anyuan stood beside the plaque, one on each side, and pulled down the red silk on the plaque, revealing the three powerful characters of Mianyu Pavilion.

Ye Anyuan stood at the door and said, "Fellow Daoists, my shop is newly opened. Welcome! My shop mainly sells talismans, but also buys all kinds of pills and herbs. I hope you will support me."

"Grand opening today! Everything is 8% off. Fellow Daoists are welcome to come and shop."

After saying that, he stepped aside to let customers who needed help enter.

At first, many people entered the shop with the mindset of just browsing.

However, after Ye Anbo tried out the talismans at the entrance, everyone felt that the talismans were of good quality and were even discounted, so they all started buying them.

By the afternoon, news of the new store's discounts had spread, and more and more people came to visit.

By closing time, nearly half of the talismans had been sold.

When they got home that evening, everyone collapsed onto the benches, too exhausted to even count the spirit stones.

Ye Shiqing silently began counting the spirit stones.

Ye Anbo silently sent a message to Ye Shibai, asking them to draw more talismans.

The store's promotion ended after three days.

The shop's business gradually stabilized, so they no longer needed so many people.

Ye Anbo and Ye Anyuan each watch over the shop for a day.

Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Zhenrong began another period of intense and tumultuous life together.

That day, Ji Xiahan came to the Ye family's courtyard.

The three of them sat at a stone table under a large willow tree in the courtyard.

Ye Zhenzhen poured Ji Xiahan a cup of tea. Seeing that Ji Xiahan was in low spirits, she asked, "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"

Ji Xiahan said, "Yesterday, two people came to our house, a man and a woman."

Ye Zhenzhen: "What? You've taken a fancy to your brother? You want him to marry into your family?"

Ye Zhenrong: "So you've taken a liking to me? Want me to marry into your family?"

Ji Xiahan rolled her eyes silently and said, "Can you two be serious for once?"

Ye Zhenzhen: "I can't be serious anymore. You have no idea what we've been through lately?"

Ye Zhenrong: "It's definitely impossible to be serious."

Ji Xiahan was so angry that she didn't want to talk to the two of them. After thinking for a moment, she continued, "After Father came out of seclusion, he found out what Ji Xiaqing and I had done. He gave Ji Xiaqing a good scolding and locked him up."

Ye Zhenzhen: "Isn't this great?"

Ye Zhenrong: "What? You're still not satisfied with the result?"

Ji Xiahan: "I was quite happy about this, but the two people who came yesterday took Ji Xiaqing as their disciple, and my father released him and treated him even better than before. Sigh, I'm very angry."

Ye Zhenzhen: "Who are those two people?"

Ye Zhenrong: "The reason you're angry is: because he was accepted as a disciple, or because your father treated him better?"

Ji Xiahan glanced at the two of them, thought for a moment, and then answered Ye Zhenzhen's question first, "The visitors are Master Puxian of Qingtian Peak of the Wanjian Sect and his first disciple Shen Leling."

Upon hearing these two names, Ye Zhenzhen's expression instantly turned extremely ugly. She continued to ask, "Did the Master himself want to take on a disciple? Or did his disciple ask him to?"

Ji Xiahan looked at Ye Zhenzhen's unpleasant expression and said, "What do you mean by this? They came to my house on their own initiative and said they wanted to take Ji Xiaqing as their apprentice."

Ye Zhenzhen shook her head, knowing that Ji Xiahan hadn't understood her meaning. "What I mean is: Did the master himself take the initiative to say he wanted to take on a disciple? Or did his female disciple beg him to take on a disciple?"

Ji Xiahan thought for a moment, not understanding the difference, but still replied seriously: "It should be that the disciple asked him to take him in. When he came in, he didn't recognize Ji Xiaqing directly. It was only after Xiao girl confirmed that he told his master that it was him. The master then took Ji Xiaqing in as his disciple and said that he would take him back to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect after the auction."

After listening, Ye Zhenzhen began to ponder. It was Shen Leling who asked Puxian to take her in. Could she be a reincarnated person like me? It's possible. I guess I'll have to be more careful in the future.

Seeing that Ye Zhenzhen was lost in thought, Ye Zhenrong continued, "You haven't answered the question I just asked you!"

Ji Xiahan: "What's the problem?"

Ye Zhenrong was speechless. What kind of memory was this? He repeated, "The reason you're angry is: because he was accepted as a disciple, or because your father treated him better?"

Ji Xiahan: "Both, I guess. I feel resentful and unfair."

Ye Zhenzhen: "You shouldn't have any expectations of your father. You may not understand why I'm saying this now, and I won't explain it to you."

"Uncle Li should already know the truth. He's not telling you because you're too weak right now and not capable enough to shoulder the responsibilities you should bear."

"Uncle Li will tell you when you are able to."

"To put it bluntly, he doesn't deserve it."

Ye Zhenrong picked up the conversation, saying, "With someone as meticulous as Uncle Li, I don't believe you don't have a backup plan for Ji Xiaqing?"

Ji Xiahan was shocked and asked, "How did you know?"

"Before the day it was exposed, Uncle Li and I secretly tested Ji Xiaqing's spiritual root. It was a Heavenly Thunder Spiritual Root."

"Uncle Li said that he couldn't let him grow up unchecked, so he spent a lot of money to buy a fourth-tier Spirit Dispersing Pill."

"You may not know this, but after taking this pill, spiritual energy cannot be stored in the dantian."

Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Zhenrong silently applauded from the sidelines. What a talent! What an outstanding individual!

Ye Zhenzhen: "Uncle Li is indeed very thorough, he's amazing."

Ye Zhenrong: "Then what are you still worried about?"

Ji Xiahan: "I'm just afraid that if his master finds out and undoes it, we'll be in trouble."

Ye Zhenzhen: "Don't worry, the Spirit Dispersing Pill requires a fifth-grade Yuan-Replenishing Pill to cure it, but the Yuan-Replenishing Pill requires a thousand-year-old Thousand Yellow Gardenia to be refined. This kind of medicine is almost extinct on this continent."

"Do you know about a constitution called the 'Heavenly Leaky Body'?"

"It means the body can't store spiritual energy, similar to the effect of your medicine. Go back and tell Uncle Li, he'll know what to do next."

After listening, Ji Xiahan prepared to go back.

Ye Zhenzhen said, "You're leaving already?"

Ji Xiahan: "Otherwise what? Didn't you tell me to go back and tell Uncle Li?"

Ye Zhenzhen said through gritted teeth, "I didn't tell you to go back so soon."

Ji Xiahan, who had just lifted her buttocks, sat back down. "What's wrong?"

Ye Zhenzhen looked distressed and said, "Sit a little longer, let us rest a bit more."
