Chapter 69 - 69: Ye Qjng Breakthrough, Past Life Resources? Useless Now 1
Ye Fan arrived at the familiar Mountain Stone District and met the shopkeeper Wang Shi.
“Alchemist Ye, you’re here.”
Wang Shi’s seeing Ye Fan was more enthusiastic than ever, but his expression wasn’t particularly good.
“Shopkeeper Wang, long time no see, how have you been?”
Hearing Ye Fan’s words, Wang Shi’s enthusiastic expression immediately faded.
“Well, not well either!”
“Have you heard about the affairs of the Star Luo Sect?”
Ye Fan paused before responding: “I’m not very clear. Can shopkeeper Wang please fill me in?”
Ye Fan was also very curious about the situation between Star Luo Sect and the Soul Devouring Sect.
Wang Shi sighed, “Star Luo Sect… may be defeated!”
Wang Shi carefully looked around to make sure no outsiders were present, then pulled Ye Fan into a private room upstairs.
“Alchemist Ye, Star Luo Sect may be defeated.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan was stunned.
It hadn’t been that long, yet Star Luo Sect was already about to be defeated.
After Wang Shi’s explanation, Ye Fan finally had some understanding of the current situation.
Star Luo Sect, under the attack of the Soul Devouring Sect, had already lost a third of its territory in Dongshi Prefecture.
If this trend continues, Star Luo Sect is by no means a match for the Soul Devouring Sect.
If the Soul Devouring Sect takes over Dongshi Prefecture, it would be a disaster for ordinary cultivators.
Soul Devouring Sect cultivates demonic cultivation.
The souls of mortals and cultivators are excellent cultivation resources for the
Soul Devouring Sect.
In the lost third of the territory, only one in ten mortals remained.
If the Star Luo Sect continues to lose, many people have started to consider fleeing from Dongshi Prefecture.
Otherwise, by the time the Soul Devouring Sect strikes, it would be too late to escape.
Ye Fan’s heart sank instantly, the situation was already this bad.
If Dongshi Prefecture is occupied by the Soul Devouring Sect, can Guanghe Prefecture truly escape?
Given Ye Fan’s understanding of demonic cultivators, the Soul Devouring Sect would certainly not give up on the juicy prize that is Guanghe Prefecture.
The Ye Family’s foundation is in Guanghe Prefecture, once Guanghe Prefecture is gone, the blow to the Ye Family would be immense.
What will become of the Ye Family’s future?
Setting his uneasy thoughts aside, Ye Fan started for the purpose of his trip — Golden Core Stage cultivation technique.
The result was as Ye Fan had anticipated, it was nearly impossible to purchase Golden Core Stage cultivation techniques.
For Star Luo Sect, Golden Core Stage cultivation techniques are absolutely secretive.
They would not allow another Golden Core Stage cultivator that is not from their sect in Dongshi Prefecture.
Disappointed as he was, Ye Fan could only buy a large batch of resources to take back to the Ye Family.
Dongshi Prefecture was becoming increasingly chaotic, he would try to visit as little as possible.
As he was about to leave with the resources, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
Qian Bao, the owner of Duobao Pavilion.
“Shopkeeper Qian.”
“Clan Leader Ye.”
Seeing each other, both were pleasantly surprised.
Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign place, Ye Fan was no longer eager to leave, he found a private room and chatted with Qian Bao.
During the chat, Ye Fan learned that Qian Bao had been transferred to work in the Duobao Pavilion of Dongshi Prefecture.
Hearing this, Ye Fan had thoughts.
“Shopkeeper Qian, I wonder if Duobao Pavilion has any Golden Core Stage cultivation techniques available.”
Qian Bao quickly gave an answer, even Duobao Pavilion could not purchase Golden Core Stage cultivation techniques.
In order to buy, one must go to the Duobao Pavilion headquarters in Zhongshan Prefecture.
Ye Fan sighed, without the Golden Core Stage cultivation technique, his progress to the Golden Core Stage would be further delayed.
“Although we don’t have cultivation techniques, there might be other resources that Clan Leader Ye is interested in.”
Golden Core Stage cultivation techniques cannot be sold, but spells of the Golden Core Stage and some resources of the Golden Core Stage can be purchased.
Ye Fan got interested in Golden Core Stage spells and Golden Core Stage resources.
Qian Bao brought out a jade slip, which contained the resources for sale in Duobao Pavilion.
These included Golden Core Stage cultivation techniques, the ability to turn any grass or tree into a weapon, Phoenix Heaven Thunder Fire, and all sorts of Golden Core Stage elixirs.
Ye Fan discovered in the jade slips that there were even Golden Core Stage
spirit seeds for sale.
Spirit seeds were extremely useful for Ye Fan.
He directly purchased three level-nine spirit seeds (early Golden Core Stage) for thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones each.
Two Golden Core Stage cultivation techniques suitable for wood attributes, the grass-weapon technique, and Phoenix Heaven Thunder Fire, priced at two hundred thousand lower-grade spirit stones each, were not expensive!
Although he didn’t manage to buy a Golden Core Stage cultivation technique, obtaining a Golden Core Stage spirit seed was a pleasant surprise.
With the Green Jiao’s transformation technique, Ye Fan should be able to establish a trump card for the Ye Family.
Even if they encountered someone in the Golden Core Stage, they would not be utterly helpless.
Having obtained what he needed, Ye Fan didn’t linger and immediately chose to return to Guanghe Prefecture.
Just as he left the marketplace, Ye Fan felt the presence of two auras behind him, tailing him.
Every time Ye Fan visited the marketplace, he was always cautious.
Unbelievably, he was still targeted.
Upon reaching an open area, Ye Fan stopped in his tracks.
“Come out. ”
“Give us your storage bag, Alchemist.”
The two cultivators were the same people who had just collected fees at the entrance of the market.
Ye Fan didn’t expect that revealing he was an Alchemist would draw such attention.
“You must be from Star Luo Sect.” Ye Fan suddenly spoke.
The two cultivators were taken aback and nodded in agreement. “Don’t you fear that your actions will get you in trouble with the Star Luo Sect?” Upon hearing Ye Fan’s words, the two cultivators burst into laughter.
“Do you think we’re collecting wealth for ourselves? Let me tell you the truth, not only do we want your storage bag today, we want you to come with us. Play nice and be an Alchemist, and you might have a chance to survive.” Ye Fan remained silent and thought that the situation with Star Luo Sect was even worse than he knew.
It seemed like they were still conducting their operations covertly at the moment, but soon enough, they’d likely be acting more overtly.
It seemed that he couldn’t come to Dongshi Prefecture anymore.
At his current cultivation level, Ye Fan was not capable of resisting the Star Luo Sect.
“Thank you for informing me.”
Ye Fan sighed heavily, casting a spell that caught the two men by surprise.
The aura of the Foundation Establishment Stage was undeniably displayed!
“Foundation Establishment Stage, you’re at the Foundation Establishment Stage!”
The two Star Luo Sect cultivators panicked, attempting to plead for mercy, but were blown apart by Ye Fan.
Another fire technique incinerated their bodies!
Then a strong wind technique scattered their ashes.
A final wood technique restored the scene to its original form.
As a cultivator, Ye Fan had many tricks up his sleeve and couldn’t leave any traces that might point Star Luo Sect towards him.
After ensuring no one was around, Ye Fan left.
Back at Ye Jinqiu’s cave house in the Ye Clan.
A surge of Foundation Establishment Stage power suddenly burst forth.
Ye Qing had finally broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
And the memories locked in Ye Qing’s mind started to unlock.
Before he started his cultivation from scratch, Ye Qing had prepared a lot. He had not only buried many batches of resources for future cultivation,
But also sealed his previous life’s cultivation techniques and spells in his soul, which would be unsealed as his cultivation level gradually progressed. Now that he had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, the Golden Core Stage cultivation techniques were finally unlocked.
As for the locations where all those resources were hidden, Ye Qing was suddenly a bit confused.
Should he even bother retrieving them?
It seemed the resources he had buried were not as plentiful as what the Ye Family possessed!
Being a son-in-law in the Ye family, Ye Qing received the same treatment as others, and he was not lacking cultivation resources at all!
