66: Chapter 66 Nine-Star Martial Master

Ye Yisong could no longer care about the pain. He guided his Dantian and the Green Lotus, which were performing a grand drama of fighting over Spiritual Qi. When his Dantian absorbed one part, the Green Lotus also absorbed one part; when his Dantian absorbed two parts, the Green Lotus also absorbed two parts.

Chasing each other, it was quite lively inside Ye Yisong's body.

The Green Lotus likely saw that Ye Yisong was suffering too much and voluntarily wanted to help its master consume the Spiritual Qi. The Green Lotus absorbed a portion of the Spiritual Qi, and Ye Yisong did indeed feel more comfortable; the distending pain in his Meridians lessened significantly.

But this wouldn't do!

"Little Green Lotus, this Spiritual Qi is meant for my Breakthrough in Cultivation, not for you to absorb. Stop absorbing; if you keep going, there won't be enough left."

Ye Yisong wanted to cry but had no tears. At this moment, he could finally spare some focus to seek help from Ye Jiesheng: "Father, think of something! That Green Lotus is like a bottomless pit; it has absorbed so much Spiritual Qi and still won't stop."

Upon hearing Ye Yisong shout "Don't fight with me," Ye Jiesheng knew something had gone wrong. He immediately guessed that the Green Lotus inside Ye Yisong's body had undergone some mutation.

During the time he was thinking, the Green Lotus absorbed another wave of Spiritual Qi. If this continued, the remaining Spiritual Qi would certainly not be enough for Ye Yisong to reach the Nine-Star Martial Master Realm.

Ye Jiesheng didn't have any good solutions either. He had never encountered such a situation before, where something inside a Martial Artist would compete with them for Spiritual Qi.

After thinking for a long time, he came up with a solution that wasn't really a solution: since he couldn't conserve, he would have to expand the source.

"Song'er, circulate your Cultivation Technique to absorb the Spiritual Qi from the Cultivation Room, and guide the Green Lotus to absorb the Spiritual Qi from the Cultivation Room to see if it works."

"Alright," Ye Yisong replied.

He stopped fighting the Green Lotus for the Spiritual Qi released by the dragon-tiger golden pill and instead focused all his attention on circulating his Cultivation Technique to absorb the Spiritual Qi from the Cultivation Room.

Hey, don't you know, it actually worked!

The Green Lotus didn't specifically want to absorb the Spiritual Qi released by the dragon-tiger golden pill; it just wanted to compete with Ye Yisong for Spiritual Qi. Whatever Spiritual Qi Ye Yisong absorbed, the Green Lotus would absorb the same.

"Father, it worked! The Green Lotus is no longer absorbing the Spiritual Qi released by the dragon-tiger golden pill," Ye Yisong said happily to Ye Jiesheng.

Ginger is indeed spicier when it's old; no wonder people often say, "Having an elder in the Family is like having a treasure."

In this world, the value of that saying was rising even higher!

The problem that Ye Yisong had racked his brain over without finding a solution was solved by Ye Jiesheng in a single sentence.

Ye Yisong now focused all his attention on absorbing the Spiritual Qi from the Cultivation Room, ignoring the dragon-tiger golden pill and letting it do its own thing, releasing Spiritual Qi to surge through his Meridians.

Fortunately, he had already broken through two stars before the Green Lotus came out to absorb the medicinal power of the dragon-tiger golden pill. If the Green Lotus had been competing with Ye Yisong for Spiritual Qi from the very beginning, Ye Yisong likely wouldn't have been able to use this method to solve the problem.

If he absorbed the dragon-tiger golden pill, the Green Lotus would also absorb a portion; if he absorbed the Spiritual Qi from the Cultivation Room, he couldn't endure the pain of continuous absorption.

Ye Yisong discovered that the dragon-tiger golden pill, which had been the size of an egg, was now only the size of a longan. He estimated that in less than a day, he would be able to fully absorb this Medicinal Pill.

Forced Cultivation was truly too painful. Other than when he was doing Talisman Making, when had he ever worked this hard?

As for things like Cultivation, with Medicinal Pills around, didn't you just eat one and improve a little? If one wasn't enough, then have two or three.

The Green Lotus inside his body was like a child, treating Ye Yisong's body as a playground—and a free-admission playground for children at that.

It happily absorbed the Spiritual Qi that Ye Yisong drew from the Cultivation Room. Eight of the nine petals were already dyed cyan, and a hint of cyan was flickering on the ninth petal.

By observing the color of the Green Lotus petals, Ye Yisong could know what stage his Cultivation had reached. He hadn't expected the Green Lotus to have such a function. It was truly as his father said, a precious lotus!

He just didn't know how powerful this Green Lotus would become once all nine petals were dyed cyan; he was truly looking forward to it!

Watching the vortex of Spiritual Qi forming around Ye Yisong, Ye Jiesheng couldn't help but feel a bit sour. When he was fifteen, he was still following the morning drill instructor, practicing the Thirteen Fierce Tiger Styles move by move.

Look at Ye Yisong's treatment; he was still a few days away from turning fifteen and was already about to break through to the Nine-Star Martial Master Realm.

It was fortunate that he was his own son; otherwise, he would definitely be green with envy.

He didn't know why this kid's Aptitude was so strong. When others swallowed a dragon-tiger golden pill, they needed ten days or half a month to absorb and digest it into their own power, but this kid was already almost done absorbing it on the fifth day.

Ye Jiesheng secretly guessed in his heart that Ye Yisong's single-attribute Spiritual Root Aptitude was extraordinary, likely exceeding 60.

Our Ye Family is going to produce a True Dragon! As this kid grows, breaking through to the Fifth Tier should be no problem, and even the Sixth Tier is not without hope.

By then, the Ye Family will not just be one of the three giants of Cangjiang Prefecture; even in Donghai Province, the Ye Family will have a place.

The Ye Family has worthy successors!

When he returned to the Family, he must discuss with the Clan Chief about increasing this kid's cultivation resources. When recommending someone worthy, do not avoid relatives; everything is for the sake of the Family.

Seeing that Ye Yisong seemed to have some movement, Ye Jiesheng temporarily put aside the speculations and plans in his mind and focused on acting as a Protector for Ye Yisong on the side.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Break for me!"

Ye Yisong shouted loudly. The dragon-tiger golden pill inside his body transformed into the final burst of Spiritual Qi, surging into a point in Ye Yisong's Meridians.

With this Meridian opened, Ye Yisong finally broke through to become a Nine-Star Martial Master. From then on, the Twelve Regular Meridians and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians in Ye Yisong's body were all unblocked, without any obstruction. Spiritual Qi could form a complete cycle within his body on its own.

Even without circulating his Cultivation Technique, his body would actively absorb external Spiritual Qi to replenish its own consumption, although this method of replenishment was very slow.

After breaking through to become a Nine-Star Martial Master, Ye Yisong did not stop Cultivating. Continuing with this momentum, he absorbed Spiritual Qi in the Cultivation Room for three days and three nights, only stopping after completely consolidating his Realm.

Ye Jiesheng felt the Spiritual Qi in the Cultivation Room. In just a few days, the density of Spiritual Qi had dropped from infinitely close to Tier 4 High Grade to almost falling to Tier 4 Low Grade. He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Fortunately, he had the foresight to know that the Cultivation Technique Ye Yisong was practicing consumed an extreme amount of Spiritual Qi, so he had invested a staggering sum of 100,000 Spirit Stones to borrow this Cultivation Room.

Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether Ye Yisong could have broken through so smoothly.

Speaking of Uncle Tuanzhang, with that subsidy of 100,000 Spirit Stones, he shouldn't feel distressed about the consumption of Spiritual Qi in the Cultivation Room.

Ye Jiesheng looked at his shriveled wallet and felt bitter in his heart. The cultivation resources he had originally prepared for several years had been consumed by Ye Yisong in just a few months.

After Ye Jiesheng gave away those 100,000 Spirit Stones, his pockets were cleaner than his face; he had no Spirit Stones left either.

Future cultivation resources would have to depend on this kid himself.

Thinking of Ye Yisong's identity as a Tier 3 Talisman Master, Ye Jiesheng wondered if he could retire early. After working hard for so many years, it was time to enjoy some peace and comfort.

"Father, do you dare to fight me?" Ye Yisong did a somersault from the ground and jumped up.
