54: Chapter 54 A Third-Tier Extraordinary Treasure, the Yuanlian Bean General!

"Ye Family of Longmai Mountain?" a slightly bolder young girl repeated curiously.

Beside them, Ye Changsheng said with some confusion:

"Brother, isn't our Family at Biluo Lake?"

Ye Changge smiled indifferently and patted his younger brother's shoulder.

"That is our ancestral land. Now, Longmai Mountain has also become the territory of our Ye Family. The handover has just been completed, and I am about to register it with the Sect."

Once these words were spoken, not only was Ye Changsheng stunned again, but the young girls nearby who had been pricking up their ears were also moved.

Originally, they might have had a trace of doubt about whether he was a "scammer," but now that they heard the other party was the Clan Chief of a Family that possessed the spirit land of Longmai Mountain, the weight of his words was completely different.

Their young hearts could not help but ripple with more emotions.

Ye Changge chatted with the few young girls for a while longer, showing concern for their Cultivation. His words were witty and considerate, causing the girls to cover their mouths and giggle from time to time, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

In their conversation, they added a few more points of admiration.

After a moment, he turned to Ye Changsheng, who was still in a half-dazed state, and asked.

"Changsheng, do you know where your nephew is currently Cultivating?"

"Nephew?"

Ye Changsheng had received a bit too much information today, so he scratched his head and said.

"Brother, I have a nephew in the Lingxiao Sect? Why have I never seen him? And I've never heard you mention him either!"

"He is still young, only over seven years old, so he usually shouldn't be Cultivating in the same place as you Outer Sect Disciples," Ye Changge explained.

"His name is Ye Bufan, and he is being looked after by Xia Qingyue. Do you know where Fairy Xia usually Cultivates? Or how I can find Bufan?"

"Fairy... Xia?!"

Ye Changsheng was truly shocked this time, his eyes widening.

"Brother, you know Fairy Xia?"

The surrounding Lingxiao Sect Disciples also cast curious, gossip-seeking glances.

Seeing the gazes cast from all around, Ye Changge coughed lightly.

With a straight face, he "clarified":

"I don't know her; she is just your nephew's Junior Martial Uncle."

Ye Changsheng patted his chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

"You scared me... I was just saying, Fairy Xia is a Personal Disciple of a Core Formation True Person, how could ordinary people like us know her..."

Then, remembering something, he froze again.

...Junior Martial Uncle?

"Wait... Brother, Martial Aunt Xia is his Junior Martial Uncle? Then... then my nephew, doesn't that mean he is also a Personal Disciple?"

This deduction made his brain buzz.

True Person Yumeng is a Core Formation Elder!

Did that little nephew of his, whom he had never met, have such a big background?

Watching his younger brother's expression, which was so shocked he was nearly petrified, Ye Changge found it somewhat amusing and nodded:

"Hmm, I suppose so. Changsheng, have you heard in the Sect roughly where the Immortal Cave of True Person Yumeng's lineage is located?"

Ye Changsheng came back to his senses, thought for a moment, and said.

"The 'Ningyue Peak' where True Person Yumeng resides is one of the main peaks of the Sect. However, that is the place where the Core Formation Elder practices in seclusion; it is covered by a Restriction, and ordinary Disciples are not allowed to approach."

Hearing this, Ye Changge nodded. This matter certainly could not be forced.

If Xia Qingyue could return within this half-month, that would be best. If she couldn't return, he would just have to let it go; in any case, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

He chatted with his younger brother for a while longer.

Ye Changge returned to the waiting area, where the Sect had arranged a quiet room for him to stay temporarily.

He sat cross-legged on the couch, preparing to circulate the Yin Yang Creation Art to Cultivate for a while and calm his mind.

Just at this moment

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining twins (dragon and phoenix)! Reward: one lottery opportunity!】

A crisp System notification sound suddenly rang in his mind.

"Hmm? Who gave birth?" Ye Changge was startled, feeling somewhat surprised.

He recalled carefully; before he went out, several of his wives and concubines at home were close to their due dates.

The dates didn't quite match up, and the closest one should be next month.

Could it be a premature birth?

A trace of guilt welled up in Ye Changge's heart.

With many wives and concubines, children were born frequently, yet he, as a husband and father, was always rushing about outside due to various matters and could not always be by their side.

Unless he stopped going out entirely... but that was obviously impossible.

"Forget it, after I go back, I will make it up to them properly." Ye Changge sighed softly, temporarily suppressing this feeling of guilt.

With a thought, he summoned the familiar large golden roulette wheel.

The text in the center of the roulette had already updated: 【Offspring 34 / 40】.

"Thirty-four now... I still need six more for the next 'Offspring Milestone' lottery." Ye Changge rubbed his chin. "Sigh, the road is long and the burden is heavy."

However, this current lottery opportunity was an unexpected joy brought by the twins.

"System, start the lottery!"

The golden roulette wheel spun rapidly in response, and after five breaths, it slowly stopped.

The pointer landed squarely on the 【Other】 area!

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining an Exotic Treasure — yuanlian bean general!】

【True Lord Yuanlian observed the wonders of heaven and earth's spirit plants, fused the Dao of Dao soldiers and spirit plants, and uniquely created this secret technique. Eight hundred bean soldiers emerge together, controlled by the Bean General to form a battle formation, making it difficult to encounter rivals of the same rank...】

"Exotic Treasure? Bean soldiers?" Ye Changge blinked.

"It sounds quite impressive; after all, it's a method concocted by a Nascent Soul Venerable, so it should be good, right?"

With a thought, he clicked to open a more detailed introduction.

【yuanlian bean general: Tier 3 Exotic Treasure】

【The Bean General is currently in its initial form. After activation, it is equivalent to an Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, with nascent intelligence and unwavering loyalty. It can continue to grow as the Host's Cultivation increases or by devouring spirit items.】

【It can be planted! After being planted in spirit soil, it bears fruit every three years, yielding up to nine 'Bean Soldier Seeds'.】

【Bean soldiers possess Late Stage of Qi Refining strength upon birth, also possess growth potential, and are naturally controlled by the Bean General, capable of forming simple battle formations.】

After reading the introduction, Ye Changge's eyes immediately lit up!

"Good treasure!" He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

This "yuanlian bean general" was not only equivalent to an Early-Stage Foundation Establishment fighter right now, but it was also a sustainable "barracks"!

Yielding nine Late Stage of Qi Refining bean soldiers steadily every three years—although Late Stage of Qi Refining was nothing to him now, for a Family, this was simply a steadily growing backbone force!

Just think, during the Biluo Lake period, a Late Stage of Qi Refining Cultivator was already considered high-end combat power for the Family.

With this constant supply of bean soldiers, the Family's foundation and conventional defensive power would be greatly enhanced.

"The things that come out of this large roulette wheel are becoming more and more practical." Ye Changge nodded with satisfaction and carefully put away the cyan-hued bean.

...

After staying at the Lingxiao Sect for several days in a row, there was still no news of Xia Qingyue returning to the Sect.

However, notice came from the Sect: the registration procedures for the handover of the Longmai Mountain spirit land had all been processed.

Ye Changge immediately headed to the External Affairs Hall.

The False Core stage Deacon Elder from before saw him arrive and took out a contract emitting a faint spiritual light, handing it over.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, the handover procedures for Longmai Mountain have all been completed, and all materials have been entered into the Sect's archives. From now on, the Ye Family of Longmai Mountain is officially recognized and protected by our Lingxiao Sect."
