Chapter 5: Poor Family After leaving the lobby, Ye Linyuan began to wander around Yejia Island, inspecting the Ye family's assets. But the more he looked at it, the more his brows furrowed. The entire Ye Family Island's industry was almost nothing. Yejia Island, which is controlled by the Ye clan, has no mineral resources, no rare medicinal herbs, and no cultivation of magical beasts and birds. The only thing worth mentioning is that in the valley behind the mountain, there are hundreds of acres of fertile fields planted with Lingsui rice. Unfortunately, because it is not a spiritual field, and there are no spiritual farmers to eliminate pests, the yield of these one hundred acres of spiritual rice is pitifully low, with an average of only three to five kilograms of spiritual rice per acre. “The resources are scarce and the family is extremely poor.” Ye Linyuan opened his mouth slowly and made such an evaluation. As a great golden elixir master in his previous life, Ye Linyuan had extensive knowledge, and many of the skills he learned were amazing. Among these wonderful methods, there are methods to seize the fortune of heaven and earth to advance into spiritual veins, methods to tame spiritual beasts and immortal birds, the art of mechanical puppets, as well as the ways of refining elixirs and weapons and even talisman formations. Among the various cultivation skills he knew, most of them were at the second or third level, and his weapon refining skills had even reached the fourth level, which even some Nascent Soul ancestors would admire.
Such a profound knowledge of the various arts of cultivation is considered a dimensionality reduction attack even among the immortals who are building their foundation and practicing Qi. Unfortunately, a good cook cannot cook without rice. No matter how many tricks he has, he cannot use them because of his insufficient cultivation and no rare spiritual objects in his hands. "The hearts of people in the world of immortal cultivation are unpredictable, and the secret of reincarnation must never be known to others." Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart and quickly drew the first red line for himself. Then he looked at the hundred acres of fertile land in front of him, and soon had some plans: "It seems that in this life, I should start with a spiritual plant husband." As a Chinese, farming is an instinct ingrained in my bones. In his previous life, Ye Linyuan followed the path of gold and fire and was best at refining weapons, but he actually also had a very high talent for spiritual cultivation. It's just that his dual spiritual roots of fire and gold are not suitable for practicing spiritual plant spells, so he is only a third-level initial-grade spiritual plant husband. In this life, he mainly cultivates the water spiritual root, and also cultivates the wood and gold spiritual roots. He also practices the peerless book Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong. Perhaps he can elevate the realm of the spiritual plant husband to a level that was unimaginable in his previous life. Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan did not hesitate and went straight to the outside of Old Man Ye's mansion. Old Man Ye’s mansion was just a dilapidated old house. It looked as if it had not been repaired for many years, but the inside was exceptionally clean. After entering Old Man Ye’s old house, Ye Linyuan looked up and saw Old Man Ye sitting in front of the hall, wiping a sandalwood tablet in his hand. Ye Linyuan didn’t know about Old Man Ye’s past, he just knew that this spirit tablet was that of Old Man Ye’s wife, and also his grandmother in this life. "Yuan'er, you are here, come and burn some incense for your grandmother." Seeing him coming, Old Man Ye spoke calmly. Ye Linyuan did not hesitate, but walked forward calmly and lit a stick of incense reverently. "Your grandmother died at the hands of a monster." When a stick of incense was lit, Old Man Ye began to tell the story: "When your grandmother was young, she was a famous beauty far and wide, and her suitors were as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river, and there was no end in sight." "When I was young, I had good luck and was considered a young hero. Fortunately, I was favored by her and married her. Unfortunately, the path of cultivation is long and bumpy. There is no such thing as a smooth life."
Old Man Ye spoke slowly and remained silent for a long time. After a while, he shook his head and sighed, "More than forty years ago, I wanted to reach the late stage of Qi training, so I joined forces with my friends to hunt monsters and obtain spiritual objects." "Unfortunately, a reckless act that seemed like a dream has left me with a regret that I will never be able to make up for in my lifetime." Old Man Ye did not say anything else. He just looked calmly at the tablet in front of him. His old face seemed particularly lonely, with an indescribable sense of loneliness. Alone and helpless, with only one's shadow for company. Ye Linyuan was silent, and inexplicably thought of this sentence. After an unknown amount of time, Old Man Ye withdrew his regret, turned around and looked at Ye Linyuan and asked: "You came to see me, is there something wrong?" "Yes." Ye Linyuan answered calmly, and got straight to the point: "Grandfather, I want to be a spiritual plant husband." Old Man Ye was slightly stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I don't have a single spiritual medicine seed at home, let alone half an acre of spiritual farmland. How can I help you become a spiritual plant husband?" Ye Linyuan was very calm. He just looked in the direction of the valley and said, "I've always wanted to give it a try. Why don't you give me the hundred acres of fertile land?" "Since you have such an idea, I'll leave these fertile fields to you from now on." Old Man Ye spoke slowly, and was silent for a long time. He took out a token from his sleeve and handed it to Ye Linyuan. Taking the token, Ye Linyuan took a look at it calmly, and saw a line of big words written on it - Qinghe. "This Qinghe Immortal Token was obtained by Grandpa in his early years." Looking at the token, Old Man Ye sighed and said, "If Grandpa can't come back from this trip, you can take this token to Qinghe Immortal Sect and start as a menial disciple." Ye Linyuan was silent. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly asked, "Since you know the road ahead is dangerous, why do you still want to take the risk?" Old Man Ye did not answer, but just looked at the tablet and said: "If I really can't come back, you can bury my clothes and hat in the back mountain, together with your grandmother." Having said this, he waved his hand and walked into the bedroom alone. Ye Linyuan stood there, looking at the old house in front of him, with a feeling of silent emotion in his heart. Although Old Man Ye's journey was extremely dangerous, he still made a way out for him, which shows that he really showed favoritism. Unfortunately, all things are difficult at the beginning. His cultivation is not enough now, and he does not have any rare spiritual treasures. He cannot provide any help to Old Man Ye on this trip. "That's all, let's take it one step at a time." Ye Linyuan's mind moved slightly, and then he took a look at the Qinghe Immortal Order and put it away casually. This Qinghe Immortal Token is of great value, and it can obtain a place as a menial disciple in the Qinghe Immortal Sect. However, Ye Linyuan is not planning to go to the Qinghe Immortal Sect. Ye Linyuan knew too much about these foundation-building forces, because these forces were full of factions. Outer disciples and menial disciples who had no backing would only be exploited by the direct descendants if they went there. Moreover, the internal rules of the Foundation Establishment Immortal Sect are strict. Once Ye Linyuan enters, he will have no choice but to follow his own rules and dare not reveal his own trump card. With his methods, if he revealed the background of his previous life, he would definitely be spied on by the foundation-building cultivators, which would bring him into huge trouble. On the contrary, the Ye family's immortal clan is weak, their number of cultivators is handful, and their eyesight is far from sufficient, so they cannot see through how sophisticated his methods are. Moreover, the Ye family are all close relatives after all. Family bloodlines in the world of immortal cultivation are closely connected, and they are interdependent, so they have extremely high credibility.
