189: Chapter 189 Reflections

"During this beast tide, our Family harvested a total of ten Grade 4 Demonic Beasts, amounting to 110,000 jin of Yao Beast flesh. To reward the Elders for their heroic performance during the beast tide, the Family has decided to distribute 3,000 jin of Grade 4 Demonic Beast flesh to each Elder." After everyone calmed down, Clan Chief Ye Tuanhui, signaled by Old Ancestor Ye Rongming, told everyone the wonderful news.

Upon hearing this news, everyone's eyes lit up.

With 3,000 jin of Grade 4 Demonic Beast flesh, they would not have to worry about Cultivate resources for the next year or two. It had miraculous effects, especially for Body Refining. With so much Yao Beast flesh to absorb and refine, the Elders' Physical Body would certainly be able to advance further.

In five years, the cultivation of the Ye Family Elders would be able to welcome a small boost, which would be greatly beneficial for dealing with the centennial beast tide.

"In the next five years, each person can receive 1,000 jin of Yao Beast flesh annually. I hope everyone will Cultivate diligently and not disgrace the Ye Family's prestige." Before everyone had finished their excitement, Ye Tuanhui announced another bombshell.

"Many thanks to the Old Ancestor for the generous gift. We will definitely Cultivate diligently and bring glory to the Family." The Elders bowed. These decisions were surely proposed by the Old Ancestor. The Old Ancestor truly worried himself to the bone for them, thinking about how to improve everyone's cultivation at every moment.

Once these two policies were implemented, the Grade 4 Demonic Beast flesh in the Family was basically distributed to the hands of every Elder. The Old Ancestor was truly willing to spend.

"Today's Family meeting ends here. Everyone, go to the Affairs Hall to collect this year's share." Ye Tuanhui waved his hand, signaling everyone to disperse.

The Elders rose, bowed to Ye Rongming, and walked out in twos and threes.

"Regarding the Sand Crystal Rock mine, I have arranged for your uncles, Rongsong and Ronghui, to go there and guard it. They will guard the mine in secret, so there is no need to worry too much." After everyone had left, Ye Rongming instructed Ye Tuanhui.

A large Grade 4 mine was worth a fortune, so the Ye Family would certainly not give it up easily. It was just temporarily sealed for now. Only after the defensive Formation was re-arranged and worries were resolved would they resume mining.

As for why it wasn't mentioned in the Family meeting just now, it was because this mine was still in a confidential stage and had not been disclosed within the Family. That mole within the Family had not yet been found.

"In the future, let the eldest follow Yisong." Ye Rongming thought for a moment and finally decided. What Ye Yisong had shown was simply too outstanding; the Ye Family could not afford any accidents to happen.

"Yes, Old Ancestor." Ye Tuanhui bowed and said.

...

After the Family meeting ended, Ye Yisong and Ye Jiexin returned to Lingmu Peak together. According to Family rules, after Ye Yisong broke through to become a Martial Ancestor, he could choose a mountain peak as his own cultivation site. However, the Family had just experienced a beast tide, many things had not yet been wrapped up, and there was a severe shortage of manpower in all aspects, so it was temporarily shelved.

"Old man, go get a good sleep. You haven't closed your eyes for days." Seeing Ye Jiexin about to walk into the quiet room to start refining Talismans, Ye Yisong immediately advised.

"Hmm." Ye Jiexin rubbed his eyebrows. Come to think of it, he was indeed a bit tired. The constant Talisman Making over the past few days had consumed too much of his Mental Energy.

The Grade 4 dragon-tiger golden pill could only increase cultivation, not the Mental Energy of a Martial Artist.

Ye Jiexin was originally only a four-star Martial Ancestor with Middle Stage Mental Energy. After consuming a dragon-tiger golden pill, his cultivation increased to a Seven-Star Martial Sect, but his Mental Energy remained at the Middle Stage and did not break through with his cultivation. At this moment, he felt a bit heavy-bodied.

This situation would likely require about ten years of nourishment, using the body to supplement the soul, before the Mental Energy Rank could match his cultivation.

Ye Yisong was different. Before breaking through to Martial Ancestor, his Mental Energy had already broken through to the Early Stage. At that time, he felt a bit top-heavy. When breaking through to Martial Ancestor, after being tempered by the Lightning Tribulation, his Mental Energy broke through another small level, reaching the Middle Stage. Later, by consuming the dragon-tiger golden pill to improve his cultivation, his cultivation and Mental Energy matched perfectly.

The two complemented each other and worked together, causing Ye Yisong to change from his previous top-heavy appearance, seemingly possessing an aura of soaring into the sky.

After Ye Jiexin went to the inner room to rest, Ye Yisong first went to the storage shelf and took a few Storage Pouches containing Grade 4 spiritual items, then entered his exclusive quiet room and started a new round of Talisman Making.

The Tier 4 Talismans made over these past few days had all been used up on the four battlefields; not a single one remained. The reserves in the Family treasury only had over a hundred Tier 4 Talismans left, which was simply too few.

For this Talisman Making, Ye Yisong directly entrusted it to the 798 Navigation System. Doing this could not only save Materials but also help Ye Yisong save time.

After entrusting it to the 798 Navigation System, his body would continuously produce Talismans. Ye Yisong did not need to spend any mental effort; it was merely consuming his own Spiritual Qi and Mental Energy.

While his body was in the process of Talisman Making, although Ye Yisong could not do other things, he could use this time to think about his own path of Cultivate.

It was equivalent to multitasking, greatly improving Ye Yisong's Cultivate efficiency.

This beast tide at Luomu Mountain was the first beast tide Ye Yisong had experienced. Although Ye Yisong did not participate in the front-line battles, sometimes when he delivered Tier 4 Talismans to the front lines, seeing the mountains and plains filled with Yao Beasts touched Ye Yisong deeply.

Especially the scene where Scripture Pavilion Elder Ye Jiezhu was killed by Yan Zhui; Ye Yisong happened to see it. At that time, he could not care about so much and rushed directly to the side of General Affairs Elder Ye Jiefeng. If the Old Ancestor hadn't happened to rush back, Ye Yisong might have had to fight a bloody battle with Yan Zhui.

Ye Yisong's desire for strength reached an unprecedented level.

If Ye Yisong were a powerhouse at the Late Stage Martial Ancestor, combined with that strange green lotus, he would have the confidence to tie with a Late Stage Grade 4 Demonic Beast, or even kill the opponent. In this beast tide, Scripture Pavilion Elder Ye Jiezhu and Ye Xiaoqi would definitely not have died in battle.

So these past few days, Ye Yisong had been thinking about how to improve his cultivation. With the assistance of the 798 System and the green lotus, he could ignore the existence of pill toxins in Medicinal Pills.

Theoretically, as long as there were enough Spirit Stones, enough Medicinal Pills, and his Meridians could withstand it, Ye Yisong could infinitely improve his strength.

For a Martial Ancestor powerhouse wanting to improve cultivation, the best combination of Medicinal Pills was to take four types together: spirit ascension pill, pulse warming pill, Body Tempering pill, and soul nourishing pill. This not only improved cultivation but also protected the Meridians, while also tempering the Physical Body and Divine Soul, which could be called an all-around improvement.

There were only two flaws: one was that it was expensive! The other was that it couldn't be bought!

In Cangjiang Prefecture, it was very difficult to gather these four types of Medicinal Pills at the same time. Even if gathered, the quantity would not be much, far from enough for Ye Yisong's consumption.

Ye Yisong thought for a long time. To solve this problem, he could only take a trip to the capital of Donghai Province. The platform there was much larger than Cangjiang Prefecture, so he shouldn't have to worry about Grade 4 Medicinal Pills.

But how could he go to Donghai Province?
