Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Great Birthday, Finally Building Foundation 1
Translator: 549690339
Ye Fan’s birthday was a big event in Guanghe Prefecture.
The usually quiet East Mountain was now bustling with people.
Fortunately, the Ye Family’s estate had undergone several renovations and had expanded significantly, otherwise it would indeed be impossible to accommodate such a large number of cultivators.
“The Li Family of Guanghe has brought one hundred spirit stones and a thirty-year-old ginseng.”
“The Qian family of Guanghe has brought three hundred spirit stones and a
fifty-year-old blazing grass.”
One by one, these voices belonged to the familiar families within Guanghe
Prefecture.
Today, they all gathered at the Ye family’s estate to celebrate Ye Fan’s birthday.
“The Longevity Sect brings three thousand spirit stones and a hundred-year-old longevity fruit.”
Upon hearing this voice, everyone raised their heads to look at the entrance.
A figure in a white dress appeared, amazing everyone’s eyes.
The person who arrived was Bai Xue, the Grand Elder of the Longevity Sect.
“The Ye family really has great prestige, even the Foundation Establishment Stage Grand Elder of the Longevity Sect has come.”
“It’s said that the Ye Clan Leader is about to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm and he is also a peak first-stage Alchemist, it’s only natural that the Longevity Sect gives him face.”
Everyone discussed amongst themselves, having a deeper understanding of the status of the Ye family.
“Elder Bai, your personal visit really brightens up our humble home.” Ye Fan personally greeted Bai Xue.
“Elder Ye is too modest. You are not only Jinhai’s father, but you are also an elder of my Longevity Sect. Of course, I must come.”
After exchanging pleasantries, the two entered the Ye family’s estate.
Spiritual wine, exotic beast meat, and spirit fruits, Ye Fan’s birthday was celebrated grandly.
“Today is my seventieth birthday. I am grateful for everyone’s presence. Please, eat and drink to your heart’s content.”
Ye Fan sat at the head of the table, and besides Bai Xue who was in the Foundation Establishment Stage, the lowest cultivation level of the remaining guests was peak Qi Refinement.
Cups were toasted, and drinks intermingled.
However, as everyone was enjoying themselves, a pair of enormous hands suddenly appeared in the sky and started pressing down towards the Ye Family.
Someone had launched an attack’
Ye Fan was the first to react, his face turning cold.
On his birthday, someone dared to cause trouble, which infuriated Ye Fan.
Just as Ye Fan was about to retaliate, Bai Xue was the first to cast a magic spell. A gigantic sword soared towards the giant hand in the sky.
The giant hand shattered, and the sword qi unleashed by Bai Xue also disappeared.
Several figures also appeared in the sky.
Except for four of them flying on swords, one man was simply standing in the sky without anything beneath his feet.
He was levitating in the air without any support, a powerful cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage!
Ye Fan’s face turned even more unpleasant. Since when did the Ye family offend a Foundation Establishment Stage powerhouse?
“Bai Xue, I didn’t expect you to come to such a small place. It seems this alchemist is highly valued by your Longevity Sect.”
The cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage spoke from above.
“MO Bei, you should stay in your Tianhe Sect territory. What are you doing here!”
Bai Xue clearly recognized this person and immediately responded coldly.
“So, Bai Xue can come, but my Tianhe Sect can’t?”
MO Bei didn’t care about Bai Xue’s tone at all.
“I heard that Daoist Ye is exceptional at alchemy. I have an elixir formula here and I hope Daoist Ye can help me refine it.”
After speaking, MO Bei waved his hand and a storage bag flew towards Ye Fan.
“I hope Daoist Ye will succeed because the Longevity Sect won’t be able to protect you otherwise!”
After finishing his words, MO Bei left with his subordinates without saying anything else.
Long River Sect, MO Bei!
Ye Fan clenched his fists. The Long River Sect asking him to refine an elixir is not as simple as it seems.
If he failed, the repercussions would likely be more than just compensation.
Was the downside of fame finally catching up to him?
Bai Xue, looking at the people from the Long River Sect leaving, also turned to Ye Fan: “Clan Leader Ye, I won’t hide it from you. Your Ye family has been implicated by my Longevity Sect this time.”
With Ye Fan as an elder, the development of the Longevity Sect in recent years has been very good.
Especially two elders who, relying on the longevity pills refined by Ye Fan, successfully broke through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.
The once balanced Guanghe Prefecture’s three major sects are gradually losing their equilibrium.
“Don’t blame yourselves, Longevity Sect, after all, my Ye Family is too weak.”
Ye Fan made no excuses.
The Ye Family was indeed too weak.
If Ye Fan had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm today, the so-called Long River Sect would not dare to pressure him so openly.
“To compensate the Ye Family, I will let Jinhai enjoy the Pool of Longevity once
I return. By then, his cultivation level should be able to reach the 12th layer of
Qi Cultivation.”
“In addition, if the Long River Sect troubles you in the future, we, the Longevity Sect, will not stand by.”
Bai Xue made her promise, offering compensation for the Ye Family. Ye Fan did not refuse. After all these years of laying low, it’s time to make a move.
The Ye Family is now targeted by the Foundation Establishment Sect, the Long River Sect, and their situation seems grim.
Many people silently leave the Ye Family, intending to sever ties, fearing any involvement.
The previously lively Ye Family quickly quieted down.
Ye Fan looked at the stack of gifts and smiled.
Endlessly receiving a pile of gifts, and probably no need to give return gifts in the future, excellent!
The Ye Family began to go into seclusion!
Ye Jinhai followed Bai Xue back to the sect, while Ye Fan led the Ye Family into the ruins.
The Spirit Gathering Array was operating at full power, every bit of increased cultivation level meant progress.
Ye Fan arrived at the medicinal field in the ruins!
The medicinal field was filled with blood-red ginseng, too striking to ignore.
These blood ginseng have been cultivated by Ye Fan over the years.
The spiritual energy density inside the ruins is very high, and the growth rate of various medicinal herbs is extremely fast.
“Little Phoenix, during this period, you will stick with me and learn alchemy.”
Ye Fan took out the top-grade magic artifact, the Pill Furnace, and started to refine the elixir.
Batch after batch of Blood Ginseng Elixirs were concocted under Ye Fan’s hands.
Each Blood Ginseng Elixir crafted was fed to his trusted aides.
The Blood Ginseng Elixir no longer affected the Ye Family members who were already at the later stages of Qi Cultivation.
“Here, you need to use the Thousand Turns Hand technique to perfectly refine the impurities.”
“Here requires the use of the Spirit Fire Shrinkage Method to perfectly blend the medicinal potency.”
Yefan meticulously imparted his alchemy experiences and techniques to Ye Jinfeng.
When the tenth batch of Blood Ginseng Elixir was completed, Ye Jinfeng suddenly had an epiphany.
“So, that’s how it works!”
With a clap of his hands, a pill furnace appeared.
An hour later, a batch of first-grade top-notch Nurturing Qi Elixirs was successfully refined.
Ye Jinfeng’s alchemy level finally broke through to the first-grade top-notch.
Meanwhile, the Ye’s trusted aides also successfully broke through in their cultivation levels.
“System, merge!”
Following Ye Fan’s command, countless spiritual energies transformed into a vortex, crazily rushing into Ye Fan’s body.
Under the scouring of spiritual energy, a small vortex appeared inside Ye Fan.
Spiritual power vortex, the symbol of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
With a spiritual power vortex, both combat power and recovery ability cannot be compared with those in the Qi Refinement Realm.
Ye Fan rotated the Purple Wood Mysterious Canon, continuously sustaining the spiritual power vortex and compressing the spiritual power within his body.
In the end, a drop of spiritual power, appeared in Ye Fan’s Dantian.
The unique spiritual power of the Purple Wood Mysterious Canon, the Purple Wood Spirit Element.
The deep purple Spirit Element emitted a strong aura!
And in Ye Fan’s sea of consciousness, waves of spiritual consciousness spread in all directions.
Within a hundred meters, even if Ye Fan closed his eyes, he could see everything clearly!
The symbols of the Foundation Establishment Realm, Spirit Division, and Spiritual Consciousness.
At the age of seventy, Ye Fan finally reached the Foundation Establishment Realm!
