Clan Cultivation: The Ye Clan

Ye Shibai, Ye Shiqing, Ye Shilan, and Ye Anbo did not separate but went directly to the council hall.

After sitting down, Ye Anbo first served tea to the elders before returning to his own seat, picking up his teacup, and slowly sipping it.

Ye Shibai spoke first, "What are your thoughts on what happened last night?"

Ye Shiqing remained expressionless, saying, "It has nothing to do with me."

After a moment's thought, Ye Shilan said, "It's Zhen'er's good fortune. I have to admit, Zhen'er's luck is extraordinary."

The other three nodded when they heard this, thinking the same thing.

Ye Anbo: "I suspect that Zhen'er and Wu'er may have mutated into acquired spirit bodies. Wu'er may be a thunder spirit body, and Zhen'er may be a wood spirit body."

The other three thought about the strange phenomenon brought about by the two, and realized it was quite possible.

"As for Wen'er, there shouldn't be any, but a lot of impurities have been expelled, and her dantian meridians have become much stronger. Her future cultivation path will be very smooth."

As Ye Anbo said this, he felt a little envious. He wished his own child had such a good opportunity.

Ye Shibai agreed with Ye Anbo's words, and after a moment's thought, said, "Shiqing, I'm entrusting Zhen'er to you from now on. Before she establishes her foundation, I'll trouble you to keep an eye on her whenever she leaves the mountain."

"Shi Lan, I'm entrusting Wen'er to you. He's already learning alchemy from you, so keep an eye on him when you have time."

"As for Wu'er, I will tell Anxin to keep a close eye on her and not allow Wu'er to leave Mianzhu Mountain."

"These are all seeds that have a high chance of reaching the Golden Core stage, or even the Nascent Soul or Deity Transformation stage. We must protect them before they grow up."

Ye Shibai spoke these words very solemnly, and Ye Shiqing, Ye Shilan, and Ye Anbo all nodded emphatically.

After saying that, the four of them left to do their own things.

At this moment, in the Ye family courtyard, He Ruonan had already woken up and was taking care of her injuries.

Ye Anxin and her three siblings watched from the side, worried.

After an incense stick had burned, He Ruonan finished his meditation, opened his eyes, looked at his wife and child who were full of worry, and said, "It's alright, it's nothing, don't worry."

He stood up from the cushion and said to the three children, "Go back and rest. You've been up all night and you must be tired."

The three siblings nodded obediently and went back to their respective rooms.

Heronan pulled Ye Anxin back to their room.

As soon as he entered, Heronan asked him about his condition after being injured.

Ye Anxin explained it to him in detail, and after hearing the end, Ye Shibai told Ye Zhenzhen to come see him the next day.

He Ruonan asked with a worried look, "What does Father want Zhen'er to do tomorrow?"

"Are they going to punish Zhen'er for handling the Heavenly Fruit without her consent?"

Hearing He Ruonan say this, Ye Anxin also began to have doubts, "No way, this is Zhen'er's own opportunity, Zhen'er can handle it herself."

He Ruonan: "There are so many people in the family, and there are plenty of people who are more outstanding than our children. If we hand it over to the family for the sake of the family, it is really not certain that it will be our children's turn."

"No, we should go find Dad first and explain that this is our idea and has nothing to do with Zhen'er."

Ye Anxin retorted, "Impossible, I don't believe Dad would blame Zhen'er for this."

He Ruonan pulled Ye Anxin along, "Whether it's true or not, we'll find out by asking. It's best if it's not true. If it really is, we'll take responsibility ourselves in advance and not blame the child."

Ye Anxin was dragged by He Ruonan to find Ye Shibai. After a series of explanations, Ye Shibai was left completely confused.

After listening for a while, I realized that the two had misunderstood each other. They talked it out and found out that the reason they were talking to Ye Zhenzhen wasn't because she hadn't handed over the Tongtian Fruit to the family, but because there was something else going on.

Only then did the two feel relieved and return to their own courtyard.

Looking at the three children, who were all exhausted and sleeping soundly, the two felt relieved and went to do their own things.

I slept until evening.

Ye Anxin woke up the three children one by one and told them to get up and eat.

After the three finished their meal, they each returned to their own rooms.

Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Zhenwen went to meditate and cultivate, while Ye Zhenwu went to play by himself.

Ye Zhenzhen returned to her room, closed the door, and in a flash, entered the Life Bead.

Sensing the Moon-Illuminating Vine in front of the old tree, Ye Zhenzhen used her mind to guide herself to the old tree.

Watching the Moon-Reflecting Vine's tendrils and leaves sway rhythmically, it seems to be communicating with the old tree.

Ye Zhenzhen did not disturb the two plants. She silently took out a futon and looked at the Moon-Illuminating Vine.

Seemingly sensing the gaze of others, the Moonlit Vine turned around angrily to see who had disturbed their conversation.

Turning around, it saw Ye Zhenzhen. The Moon-Illuminating Vine quickly climbed onto the trunk of the old tree, looking at Ye Zhenzhen with a frightened expression, afraid that she would absorb its spiritual power again.

Seeing the Moon-Reflecting Vine's reaction, Ye Zhenzhen knew it had been frightened the night before and sent it a telepathic message: "I'm sorry, it won't happen again."

With a suspicious look, Yin Yue Ling Teng slowly approached Ye Zhenzhen, extended a vine, and poked Ye Zhenzhen, but the situation of being sucked in yesterday did not occur.

But still feeling uneasy, I poked it again.

Still not reassured, I prepared to poke it a third time.

The old tree's voice came, "Oh, not bad. It seems you ate the fruit I gave you. Your wood spirit root has evolved into an acquired wood spirit body, and your water spirit root has evolved into an ice spirit root."

She didn't forget to complain about the Moon-Reflecting Vine, "You worry terribly when she's not around, and you're scared when she comes. Don't be scared, her body has been repaired, and she won't absorb your spiritual power anymore."

Hearing the old tree's words, the Moon-Reflecting Vine was relieved and obediently returned to Ye Zhenzhen's wrist, blooming into a small white flower.

Ye Zhenzhen gently stroked the Moon-Reflecting Vine, "Thank you."

After saying that, he looked at the old tree and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Tree. How was it here last night?"

The old tree looked at the polite and sensible child and said, "Aside from having a lot of wood-type spiritual energy absorbed, there's nothing else wrong with him."

Hearing this, Ye Zhen felt truly guilty. He sat on the futon and began to meditate.

Once the spiritual energy is restored, it begins to release a rejuvenating spell in the surrounding area.

This process was repeated over the course of a night, hoping to make up for some of the lost time.

The old tree watched her actions, smiled slightly, and said nothing.

The next morning, Ye Zhenzhen stopped, remembering that she was going to see her grandfather that day, and mentally controlled herself to leave the Life Bead.

Pretending to have just gotten up, eaten breakfast, and gone to the council chamber.

As Ye Zhenzhen reached the door and was about to knock, she heard Ye Shibai's voice from inside, "Come in."

Ye Zhenzhen walked in with a smile and greeted Ye Shibai and Ye Shiqing politely.

Ye Shibai waved to Ye Zhenzhen and said, "Zhen'er, the people your second grandfather sent to investigate Crocodile Bay yesterday have sent back news that they encountered some difficulties. You and your second grandfather may need to go and solve them together."

As soon as Ye Shibai finished speaking, Ye Shiqing rolled his eyes.

Seeing her second grandfather's expression, Ye Zhenzhen asked with a puzzled look, "What difficulty?"
