Chapter 98

Sensing the confusion in Ye Yu Hong's eyes, Ye Qingxuan did not offer an explanation.

In such matters, the more one explained, the more confused Ye Yu Hong would become.

So Ye Qingxuan just laughed heartily to brush it off, simply saying nothing, letting Ye Yu Hong guess for himself.

Subsequently, Ye Qingxuan brought Ye Yu Hong into the stone pavilion and poured him a cup of tea:

"Family Head, how about tasting this tea of mine?"

Seeing that Ye Qingxuan had no intention of explaining, Ye Yu Hong did not press the issue, only chuckling dumbfoundedly:

"You brat, you have your own little secrets now?"

After speaking, Ye Yu Hong casually picked up the tea Ye Qingxuan had poured for him and took a shallow sip.

Once the tea entered his mouth, Ye Yu Hong's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "What kind of tea is this? The taste is not bad at all?"

Ye Yu Hong usually liked to drink tea, and the tea Ye Qingxuan poured for him suited his taste very well.

Moreover, after the tea was absorbed, Ye Yu Hong felt that his thinking was much clearer than usual.

Sensing this effect, Ye Yu Hong immediately looked at Ye Qingxuan with bright, piercing eyes.

Feeling Ye Yu Hong's gaze, Ye Qingxuan said nonchalantly:

"This is some Meditation Tea I obtained occasionally. If the Family Head likes it, you can take some back with you later."

Currently, since Ye Qingxuan had restricted the continued growth of that Fourth Order Meditation Tea plant, there had been a leap in production.

So Ye Qingxuan was not short of Fourth Order Meditation Tea leaves now, and giving some to Ye Yu Hong was no problem.

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, Ye Yu Hong immediately replied with a chuckle: "Hehe, then it's a deal! Don't go back on your word when I leave later."

Although this tea didn't help much with his cultivation base, it could provide no small amount of help when he was contemplating spells.

So Ye Yu Hong didn't stand on ceremony with Ye Qingxuan and agreed impatiently.

Watching Ye Yu Hong's reaction, Ye Qingxuan nodded slightly, then took out a storage bag and handed it to Ye Yu Hong, saying:

"Family Head, this is the family's hundred-year share, take a look."

Inside were 300,000 Supreme Grade Spirit Stones; if Ye Qingxuan didn't want to break the contract, he couldn't fake it.

Once faked, the contract would inevitably react.

Moreover, although Ye Qingxuan wanted to hide himself, the Tianfu Shop should not be much of a secret in the eyes of the Xuantian Sect's high officials.

When the time came, he would just say he wanted to give back to the family, so he gave a bit more.

Of course, it was highly probable that the people of the Xuantian Sect wouldn't come to ask about these insignificant trifles; Ye Qingxuan just wanted to find a plausible reason for himself.

The reason there were only 300,000 Supreme Grade Spirit Stones was not that Ye Qingxuan didn't want to give more, but that giving too much could sometimes be counterproductive.

300,000 Supreme Grade Spirit Stones were already a huge sum for the Ye family.

Once the Ye family digested these spirit stones and turned them into their own strength, he would naturally give the Ye family more resources in the next hundred years.

Ye Yu Hong took the storage bag Ye Qingxuan gave him, not paying much attention to it in his heart, and continued drinking the tea Ye Qingxuan kept refilling for him.

However, he still prepared to see how many supplies there were.

Firstly, Ye Yu Hong himself was a bit curious about the output of Ye Qingxuan's Dongxuan Fudi.

Secondly, Ye Yu Hong prepared to exchange all the resources for First Order Spirit-Enhancing Pills to take back, so he wanted to see how many resources there were to have a rough idea.

As his spiritual sense surged into the storage bag, Ye Yu Hong instantly spat out the tea he had just taken into his mouth:

"So much?"

Subsequently, Ye Yu Hong reacted, hurriedly using spiritual power to bind the tea that was still in the air and hadn't landed yet, sending it back into his mouth. Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan was stunned, holding back his laughter, and lowered his head slightly.

Ye Yu Hong had no mind to care about his image at this moment, staring wide-eyed at Ye Qingxuan:

"This is thirty percent of your Dongxuan Fudi's hundred-year earnings?"

Subsequently, Ye Yu Hong looked left and right, leaned over to Ye Qingxuan, and whispered: "You brat, did you dig up a treasure in the Dongxuan Fudi? Otherwise, how could there be so many Supreme Grade Spirit Stones?"

A full 300,000 Supreme Grade Spirit Stones; the Supreme Grade True Artifact Ye Yu Hong was currently using was only worth 1,000 Supreme Grade Spirit Stones.

The Ye family's earnings over several decades probably didn't even amount to 300,000 Supreme Grade Spirit Stones.

The resources in the five regions of the Di Xuan Realm were rich, but with the Ye family's strength, there weren't actually many good resources they could claim.

Yet Ye Qingxuan's thirty percent share of the Dongxuan Fudi amounted to a full 300,000 Supreme Grade Spirit Stones—how could this be possible? Actually, this was not strange.

The reason Dongxuan Fudi cultivators could plant so many spiritual plants was that most of the energy within the Dongxuan Fudi was retained and could be supplied for the growth of the spiritual plants.

For the stations of small forces like the Ye family, the spiritual energy in the spiritual veins wasn't even enough for their own cultivators' cultivation; how could they possibly let the spiritual energy be converted into earth energy to nurture spiritual plants?

The spiritual fields opened up by small forces were generally created by using the little bit of surplus energy left over after satisfying the cultivators' cultivation needs to create an energy node.

The difference between the two was that one converted the energy of the spiritual veins into the cultivation bases of a large group of people, while the other converted the energy of the spiritual veins into spiritual plants, turning them into wealth.

Moreover, Ye Qingxuan was not a true Dongxuan Fudi cultivator; the cave dwelling and Dongxuan Fudi complemented each other, and coupled with the various methods in the Earth Immortal inheritance, the output of the Dongxuan Fudi reached such an astonishing level.

Ordinary Dongxuan Fudi cultivators could not achieve what Ye Qingxuan had.

Such a large contrast was no wonder Ye Yu Hong lost his composure, but after the loss of composure, Ye Yu Hong was left only with excitement.

With these 300,000 Supreme Grade Spirit Stones, the Ye family's strength would definitely see a significant improvement.

Ye Qingxuan watched Ye Yu Hong lose his composure for a moment and then become excited, hurriedly explaining:

"I earned this myself, don't you go letting your imagination run wild!"

"You earned it yourself?"

At this time, Ye Yu Hong's state of mind had recovered, and hearing Ye Qingxuan's explanation, he couldn't believe it at all.

Ye Qingxuan, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and a Dongxuan Fudi cultivator confined to one place, could earn so many Supreme Grade Spirit Stones? Who would believe that? Ultimately, Ye Yu Hong looked deeply at Ye Qingxuan and took the initiative to drop the topic: "Forget it, I won't bother with you. Anyway, with so many spirit stones, the family has made a huge profit. I thank you on behalf of the family!"

Although he didn't believe this was something Ye Qingxuan had earned himself, Ye Yu Hong wasn't stupid; continuing to dwell on it would only sour the relationship between them.

Seeing that Ye Yu Hong was no longer dwelling on this matter, Ye Qingxuan felt relieved in his heart and smiled lightly:

"Family Head, you are too polite. What I give to the family is what the family deserves."

If it weren't for the Ye family giving him the opportunity and the initial support, with his aptitude, it would have been impossible for him to join the Xuantian Sect, and it would have been impossible for him to walk so smoothly afterward.

So the help the Ye family gave him seemed small, but it deeply influenced the direction of Ye Qingxuan's future path.

If he hadn't joined the Xuantian Sect, he didn't know how much time he would have wasted before breaking through the Foundation Establishment Realm and opening the Earth Immortal inheritance.

And even if he had opened the Earth Immortal inheritance in the outside world, without a sufficient platform to obtain resources and without a powerful backer to protect him, he might not have been able to grow up smoothly.

On the path of cultivation, there were simply too many variables, and developing alone meant facing too many hardships.

A moment of carelessness could lead to a situation where one's body died and the Dao vanished; even the greatest opportunity required one to survive to digest it.

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan was very satisfied with his current state and situation.

Within the Xuantian Sect, he could have a sufficiently large platform and countless time to develop with peace of mind, and to secretly lay out plans to obtain resources.

As long as he could endure loneliness and hide deeply, who would dare to come into the Xuantian Sect to disturb his quiet cultivation? (End of chapter)
