93: Chapter 93 The Foundation of a Family's Thousand-Year Legacy

This could not help but make Grandfather Ye Tuantu excited and shocked; any Fourth-Rank craft technique was one of the Foundations upon which a Martial Artist Family could pass down its Legacy for a millennium.

The Ye Family elder, Ancestor Ye Rongming, obtained a great Opportunity and broke through to the Fifth-Rank Martial King realm, allowing the Ye Family to barely Rank among the three major giants of Cangjiang Prefecture. However, this position was very unstable. For the sake of the resources needed for his own cultivation and for the development of the Family, Ancestor Ye Rongming often had to go out to perform dangerous missions.

If he made a single mistake and died, the Ye Family would be doomed beyond redemption and swallowed up by the other two families.

A Martial Artist Family could only survive by constantly moving forward. Once they retreated, the best outcome was to hand over all resources, retreat to a lower-level administrative district, and start all over again.

But how many families could start over? Heaven gave one chance; where could one find a second chance to return to glory!

This was also one of the reasons why Ancestor Ye Rongming never allowed the First Branch and the Second Branch to merge; he always had to leave a way out for his Family.

Ever since Ye Jiexin obtained the incomplete 4th Grade Talisman Technique from various auctions, grasped the true method, and became a Fourth-Rank Talisman Master, the Ye Family had finally gained a firm foothold in Cangjiang Prefecture. Ancestor Ye Rongming could finally Cultivate in peace within the Family and no longer had to take risks.

" What a pity! " Grandfather Ye Tuantu sighed again. " Why is it not Alchemy or Artifact Refining? Even Spirit Planting would have been fine! "

" Sigh, if we had obtained this Legacy Jade Slip earlier, the Family would not have experienced those hundreds of years of dark times. " Ye Jiesheng had experienced those dark moments of the Family, when the Wei and Wang families did everything they could to suppress the Ye Family, preventing them from developing even though they had a Fifth-Rank Martial King expert guarding them.

Whenever an auction involved any craft technique above the Fourth Rank, the Ye Family had to go through many hardships just to obtain some fragments.

Grandfather Ye Tuantu and Ye Jiesheng did not look at the contents of the 4th Grade Talisman Technique Legacy Jade Slip, as they wouldn't understand it even if they did. They simply used a Talisman to send a message to Ye Jiexin, asking him to come over to discuss important matters!

" Father, the Divine Sense Restriction on this Storage Pouch is truly remarkable. Could you see if you can break it? " Ye Yisong handed the last Storage Pouch to Ye Jiesheng and described the process he had just attempted.

" Let me see. " After taking it, Ye Jiesheng calmed his mind and focused his Divine Sense into a single point, stabbing it into the Storage Pouch's Divine Sense Restriction like a sharp awl. Just as the awl touched the Divine Sense Restriction and before it could penetrate deeply, it was rebounded. Fortunately, Ye Jiesheng had Ye Yisong's prior experience to draw from and had been guarding against the Divine Sense rebound, allowing him to avoid this calamity.

" What a strong Divine Sense Restriction! "

" Ahem, wait until your master arrives and let him take a look! " Ye Jiesheng tactically retreated, leaving this difficult problem for Ye Jiexin. Grandfather Ye Tuantu's strength was not even as good as Ye Jiesheng's, so there was no need to attempt it at all.

" What kind of Divine Sense Restriction requires me to personally take action? " Ye Jiexin flew up directly from the foot of the mountain with wings on his back. He was using his newly acquired Fourth-Rank Flying Bird Talisman. Using this Talisman allowed a Martial Artist to grow wings resembling those of a Thunder-Startled Bird, reaching speeds of two to three hundred kilometers per hour.

" You fellow certainly came fast! " Ye Jiesheng tossed the Storage Pouch to Ye Jiexin. In truth, Ye Jiexin had not long left Dali Courtyard and could not wait until tomorrow's small gathering, so he turned back halfway. He wanted to see Ye Yisong; it was rare to have a disciple with such excellent Aptitude, and he couldn't rest easy without seeing him with his own eyes.

He had just approached Luanshi Peak when he received Ye Jiesheng's message saying there was an important matter to discuss. As soon as he arrived, he heard something that made him happy: his fifth brother couldn't do it.

" Uncle Tuantu. " Ye Jiexin first greeted Grandfather Ye Tuantu before looking at the Storage Pouch thrown by Ye Jiesheng. " Yo, did you strike it rich? It's even a Medium Grade Storage Pouch. "

For Ye Family Martial Artists, everyone below the Martial Ancestor Rank was equipped with Low Grade Storage Pouches. Only Martial Ancestor experts were equipped with Medium Grade Storage Pouches; other families were basically the same.

A Medium Grade Storage Pouch often meant that inside were treasures that even Martial Ancestor experts could use.

" Old man. " Ye Yisong greeted Ye Jiexin.

" Not dead yet? " Ye Jiexin looked at Ye Yisong with heartache and used his Divine Sense to examine Ye Yisong's body, blaming him, " Stop acting tough in the future, look at what you've done to yourself. "

Ye Jiexin could tell at a glance that Ye Yisong was in this state because of excessive use of Mental Energy, as he often experienced this state himself, especially during the period when he had just become a Fourth-Rank Talisman Master.

" Old man, be careful, the Divine Sense Restriction on this Storage Pouch has a rebound function. " Ye Yisong carefully reminded him.

" Got it. " Ye Jiexin responded. He first used his Divine Sense to probe the Divine Sense Restriction of the Storage Pouch, seeing that the Divine Sense Restriction inside was still in a self-circulating state, endless and continuous.

" Where did you get this Storage Pouch? " Ye Jiexin asked, feeling it was tricky.

" It was discovered in the Immortal Cave of a Grade 4 Demonic Beast south of Weishui River. " Ye Yisong replied.

" The Divine Sense Restriction on this Storage Pouch is something else. Its owner might still be alive; the Divine Soul power inside shows no signs of weakening, and instead, there is a sense of strengthening. " Ye Jiexin said to everyone.

" Can't you break it? " Ye Yisong asked.

" You think your master is the same as your useless father? Watch closely. " Ye Jiexin cast a glance at Ye Jiesheng.

" Break! "

Ye Jiexin first split his Divine Soul into three parts, each forming a small Divine Soul sword, then combined the three into one, piercing a corner of the Storage Pouch's Divine Sense Restriction, successfully opening the Storage Pouch.

" Here. " Ye Jiexin handed the opened Storage Pouch to Ye Yisong, also glancing sideways at Ye Jiesheng, with quite a bit of " I can do it, you can't " meaning.

Ye Yisong took the Storage Pouch, dumbfounded, amazed that the Soul Splitting Art could be used in this way. Today he had really opened his eyes; the old man was indeed a once-in-a-century Genius of the Ye Family. Just this technique of using the Divine Soul far surpassed other Martial Ancestor experts by a wide margin.

" It's an egg. " Ye Yisong probed inside with his Divine Sense and took out an egg.

Everyone looked, but they didn't know what kind of Yao Beast's egg it was. They could only judge from its inherent spiritual aura that the egg was still alive and its Rank should not be low, at least a Grade 4 Demonic Beast's egg.

" Here is this Beast Taming Technique for you. Study it well, and if there is anything you don't understand, come ask your father. " Ye Jiesheng took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Ye Yisong, taking the Opportunity to glance at someone, implying: This is my son, understand?

" You called me here, surely not just to break a Restriction! " Ye Jiexin actively ignored Ye Jiesheng's gaze and teased him.

" Hehe. " Grandfather Ye Tuantu and Ye Jiesheng both looked at Ye Jiexin with a smile. " We hope you can still stand after a while. "

" Old man, look at this Jade Slip. " Ye Yisong took the initiative to hand the Jade Slip to Ye Jiexin, signaling that there was a big surprise inside.

Looking at the strange expressions of the few, Ye Jiexin suspiciously used his Divine Sense to read the contents of the Jade Slip. Not long after reading it, he excitedly stammered: " This, this, this... where did this come from? "

" It is also a treasure from the Storage Pouch found in the Yao Beast palace in the waters south of Weishui River. " Ye Yisong explained to him.

" Good stuff! Good stuff! " Ye Jiexin knew better than anyone the importance of this Jade Slip. " You brat, you have finally given me a decent gift. "
