Chapter 496
The old patriarch looked at Ye Tongxuan who was eager to try, and said:
"The clan has indeed accumulated some savings over the years. We can provide most of the materials here, but there is only one Thousand-Year White Jade Zhizhi that we cannot provide.
As far as I know, Bai Yuzhi, the oldest member of the clan, is only over 600 years old, so I don’t know if it’s feasible.”
Since Ye Yongkang left, most of the family's income and expenditure have been taken over by Ye Yongzhang. Therefore, he is the most aware of the current specific storage situation of the family.
Ye Tongxuan shook his head, "When it comes to refining elixirs, the most taboo thing is to overuse it. If you use medicinal materials with insufficient spiritual energy to refine the elixir, not only will the efficiency of the elixir be greatly reduced, but the efficacy of the medicine will also be greatly reduced."
"For a thousand-year-old elixir like this, even if we have the spirit stone in hand, the sect may not sell it. From this point of view, the refining of this foundation-building elixir is a bit difficult."
For families like the Ye family affiliated with the Wuji Sect, before there were powerful alchemists, the precious elixirs they obtained were usually handed over to the sect in exchange for part of the elixirs or converted spiritual stones.
After all, without a professional alchemist, it is still very difficult to convert these precious elixirs into elixirs.
"Clan leader, I will take care of Bai Yuzhi's matter. The family must now independently refine the Foundation Establishment Pill!"
Ye Tongxuan's eyes were firm and he said these words word for word.
The family now has two Zifu guards. Not only that, after overthrowing the great elder, the Ye family is now in the limelight.
Although the ancestor of the sect did not say it explicitly, he secretly approved of the suppression of the Ye family by the head Duan Tiancheng. If the Ye family becomes stronger, Duan Tiancheng is afraid that the Ye family will become the next faction.
But Ye Tongxuan can't control so much. Since the sect restricts the development of the family, he will lead the family to find another way out, and he cannot always be suppressed by the sect.
Ye Yongzhang patted Ye Tongxuan on the shoulder and said: "Tongxuan, as long as you have this heart, if you encounter any difficulties, just ask, the family will give you full support."
"Clan leader, I plan to go out for a while and ask Tonghua to come with me."
"Okay, you two are the more talented Tongzi generation. It's time to take Tonghua outside for a walk."
...
Three days later, Ye Tongxuan and his wife had traveled a long way and were about to approach their destination.
This city is located in Xiaohuan Mountain, on the border of Xinghai County. It is a gathering place for casual cultivators.
Guarding this place is a loose cultivator from Zifu, named Gu Wenbin, whose strength cannot be underestimated. When this place was first established, there were monks who were coveting this spiritual land, but they were repulsed by one of them.
After that, he single-handedly defeated two Zifu monks. From then on, no monks dared to trouble him again.
This person is good at dancing and has gained his own place in the cracks of many forces. With his status as a casual cultivator, he has attracted many casual cultivators to join him. After hundreds of years of management, Xiaohuan Mountain is now in order.
To enter Xiaohuan Mountain, you need to pay three spiritual stones. Although the fee is not much, it can filter out a group of monks.
Ye Tongxuan stopped in front of a small mountain peak, paid the spiritual stone to the mountain monk in a polite manner, and waited aside.
This time I came to Xiaohuan Mountain mainly for Bai Yuzhi, and it was not suitable for a high-profile event. If the sect knew that the Ye family was secretly refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, they would definitely be severely punished.
An important reason why the sect can control the subordinate forces is that it masters the refining method of the Foundation Establishment Pill. The sect does not allow others to hold such a trump card.
The monks participating in Xiaohuan Shanfang City come from all over the world, but most of them are casual monks from various places.
Ye Tongxuan went straight to the largest auction house in Xiaohuan Mountain to see if there was any Millennium White Jade Zhi. After all, such a precious spiritual object could only appear in an auction house.
At this moment, a young monk walked straight towards Ye Tongxuan and the two of them, as if he wanted to ask for something.
Ye Tongxuan subconsciously became alert. During his outing, he had concealed his identity, and even his strength only revealed the cultivation level of the seventh or eighth level of foundation building.
This kind of cultivation will not arouse the covetousness of people with ulterior motives, and it will not be too high to alarm the upper levels of Xiaohuan Mountain.
"You two fellow Taoists, are you new to Xiaohuan Mountain?" the young man said with a very respectful tone while cupping his hands.
This young man was very well-dressed, and he didn't seem to be a casual cultivator. Without knowing the other person's background, Ye Tongxuan didn't like to make enemies, so he just replied politely.
"This is indeed my first time here. I wonder what this fellow Taoist does for you?"
"This senior, I am the steward of Xiaohuan Mountain, Ning Hao. The mountain master has invited me." Ning Hao said directly.
Ye Tongxuan frowned slightly. The mountain owner in this person's mouth was none other than the current real owner of Xiaohuan Mountain - Gu Wenbin.
He and Gu Wenbin had never met each other before, so they probably didn't know each other.
Seemingly seeing Ye Tongxuan's confusion, Ning Hao smiled slightly and said, "Although this senior has hidden his cultivation, Xiaohuan Mountain has its own formation to spy on it. I hope that senior will forgive me.
This rash invitation is because the mountain master found an opportunity and needs the help of seniors."
In this way, Ye Tongxuan understood in his heart that it turned out that the other party had seen through his cultivation and wanted to make him take action.
Thinking of this, Ye Tongxuan stopped hiding and showed his strength openly.
Ning Hao's breathing in front of him stagnated slightly, and he was shocked. He didn't expect that the senior in front of him looked so young, but his strength should not be underestimated.
"Why don't the ancient mountain masters come to me to discuss anything?" Ye Tongxuan asked.
After all, he did not know Gu Wenbin from Xiaohuan Mountain, and now he suddenly spoke, making Ye Tongxuan a little suspicious.
"This junior is not very clear. The mountain master said that even if the senior does not intend to help, the mountain master will not stop him. He just wants to make a friend and ask the senior to show his respect."
After all these words, Ye Tongxuan was given enough face. One more enemy is worse than one more friend when he is away from home. Gu Wenbin treated each other with courtesy this time. If he refused again, it would be a bit unkind. This The second step is to see what the situation is and then make a decision.
Having made up his mind, he took Ye Tonghua and Ning Hao to Gu Wenbin's cave.
Gu Wenbin's cave is very grand. It is located in the center of Xiaohuan Mountain. It independently occupies the top of a hill with the most spiritual energy. It is equipped with pavilions, pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings.
This scene is even more impressive than the cave where the head of the Ye family lived.
