Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Family Rise Seven: East Territory Nine Cities (4/5)_1
Translator: 549690339
As Ye Fan displayed his might, Thousand Leaf City suddenly came alive with activity.
Many independent cultivators, families, and sects began to settle in Thousand Leaf City.
Although Thousand Leaf City was vast, the prime locations were limited. So, everyone wanted to settle in as early as possible.
“Congratulations, host, on establishing the Thousand Leaf City. Your Family’s Force has increased by seven hundred.”
“Congratulations, host, for completing a long-term task! You can now claim the Family’s Force Ill (Task Completed).”
The Family’s Force Ill task was instantly completed.
“System, claim rewards.”
“Congratulations, host, on receiving your reward: Family Proverb ‘Beginning knows the End’, Enlightenment increased by 2000 (Red).”
With his Enlightenment enhanced, Ye Fan felt his mind becoming serene, and his understanding of various cultivation techniques skyrocketed.
“System, load Family Proverb.”
The higher the cultivation level, the more one requires Enlightenment, in addition to aptitude.
The Ye Family wasn’t far from producing its second Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.
Visibly, Thousand Leaf City was no less than Thousand Tortoise City.
In fact, it was even more prosperous than Thousand Tortoise City.
Everyone felt an overwhelming sense of security because of Ye Fan’s power.
Three years passed in a blink of an eye, and Ye Fan celebrated his hundredth birthday.
If asked which family had the most influence in the East Territory presently, it would undoubtedly be the Ye family.
“Giant Crab City presents a congratulatory gift. Three Fourth Order Spirit Grasses, three Fourth Order Spirit Stones.”
“Bitter Sword City presents a congratulatory gift, five Fourth Order Spirit
Grasses. ”
Cultivators who had come to offer their congratulations were stunned, as all eight major cities had brought gifts.
They were not only sending gifts, but they even saw eight Nascent Soul Stage cultivators gathering in Thousand Leaf City.
This was…thoroughly impressive!
Ye Fan’s power and Thousand Leaf City’s status were recognized by the Eight Cities of the East Territory.
“Friend Ye, congratulations!”
“Having you all in Thousand Leaf City is a great honor.” “I hope Friend Ye won’t mind that we arrived only now.”
“Of course not. Please, come in.”
These individuals were all representative Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, meaning Ye Fan had to personally greet them.
On the top floor of the tallest tower in Thousand Leaf City, the Thousand Leaves Pavilion, Ye Fan brewed Spiritual Tea for the cultivators.
Sitting around discussing cultivation was their priority, rather than the birthday celebration itself.
It was a rare opportunity for all nine Nascent Soul Stage cultivators to gather simultaneously.
To waste this opportunity without engaging in a meaningful discussion would be a loss.
The talk began with the Real Crab, the city master of Giant Crab City, explaining his Dao.
Becoming an immortal through discussing Dao and enhancing it through others’ Dao — these were typical among cultivators.
Everyone gained significant enlightenment from each other’s accounts.
Ye Fan used the Dao of Alchemy to explain his cultivation path.
The principles of Alchemy and cultivation were connected.
The Core made during the breakthrough from the Foundation Establishment to Core Formation stage was another form of Alchemy.
Sometimes, everyone would frown in confusion; other times, they would smile in understanding.
The Dao that can be told is not a constant Dao.
After hearing Ye Fan’s Dao of Alchemy, everyone felt they had benefited hugely, and they looked at Ye Fan differently.
They hadn’t expected Ye Fan to not only be a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, but also a Fourth Order Array Master and Fourth Order Alchemist.
Especially the latter two identities, they were more attractive to these Nascent Soul Stage cultivators than Ye Fan being a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator himself.
Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in the East Territory were few, and Fourth Order Alchemists and Array Masters were even rarer.
The previous City Master of Thousand Tortoise City was a Fourth Order Alchemist; however, his whereabouts were unknown now.
When these Nascent Soul dominators needed to practice Alchemy, they had to look for Fourth Order Alchemists in other territories.
If there were no acquaintances, queueing would be necessary.
Now, he had a fourth-rank alchemist and array master by his side, which brought numerous benefits.
Everyone’s desire to form a connection with Ye Fan increased.
“Come, let’s toast to the success of Master Ye.”
Various kinds of spirit fruits and spiritual wine were pulled out from storage bags, and everyone was drinking heartily.
While enjoying the meal, all the city lords proposed ideas of forming diplomatic relations with Thousand Leaf City.
Establishing messengers, sharing communications, it was convenient.
The diplomatic relationship was also beneficial to the Ye Family. Naturally, Ye Fan would not decline.
As relationships were established with the other eight major cities, the standing of the Thousand Leaf City grew ever more secure.
In Ye Fan’s mind, a system prompt finally rang out.
“Congratulations to the host for completing the long-term task, Family’s Rise Seven: Dominating Nine Cities of the East Territory (Completed) ready for claiming. ”
“Claim reward.”
“Congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward: family entry: Supreme
Immortal Resources, talent increased by 3000 (Red)”
“System, load entry.”
The Ye family members instantly felt the rise in their talent. Their spiritual roots felt a surge of heat.
With the previous increase in talent, most people’s spiritual roots had already reached third rank.
The spiritual root of Green Jiao had even reached second rank.
Ye Fan immediately called over individuals such as Ye Jintian to test their talent.
Ordinary spiritual roots were second rank, while Green Jiao’s spiritual root was first rank!
A bold idea popped into Ye Fan’s mind – could Ye Jinsen’s spiritual root have also broken through?
Ye Jinsen’s talent was the strongest within the Ye family. Having an Ethereal Wood Spiritual Body, his wood spiritual root had already reached a high level of first rank.
With the current increase in talent again, how strong could he be now?
Ye Fan immediately teleported several times, returning to the Ye family, calling over Ye Jinsen who was playing with Little Red Dragon.
Ye Jinsen wasn’t more than fourteen years old, but his cultivation level had already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment stage.
Such a speed of rise could be described as genius.
Ye Fan took out a Spirit Stone to test Ye Jinsen’s spiritual roots.
Nine circles of Tao Light were exceptionally eye-catching.
However, Ye Fan felt a little disappointed. Did it not break through to the first rank, becoming the legendary Earth Spiritual Root?
No, Ye Fan quickly remembered.
It wasn’t that Ye Jinsen didn’t break through, but that this Spirit Stone could only test up to the first rank spiritual root.
There hadn’t been any news of a genius with an Earth Spiritual Root in the East Territory. Ye Fan didn’t know where to acquire a Spirit Stone that could test for an Earth Spiritual Root and could only let it go.
Regardless, Ye Jinsen’s talents could possibly have reached the legendary Earth Spiritual Root.
Even if he didn’t break through this time, he could break through the next time his talent increased or when his bloodline power upgraded.
However, Ye Jinsen had been stuck at the peak of Foundation Establishment stage for almost a year. Why hadn’t he made a breakthrough?
In theory, with the resources provided by the Ye family, Ye Jinsen should have already made a breakthrough.
Once Ye Jinsen breaks through, forming a first-rank Golden Core should not pose any problem at all.
Did Ye Jinsen encounter a problem with his cultivation?
Ye Fan was a bit worried and immediately used his magic power to inspect Ye Jinsen’s condition.
Quickly, Ye Fan discovered something wrong.
The cultivation of Ye Jinsen and Little Red Dragon seemed to be interconnected.
On Ye Jinsen’s spiritual soul, a tiny red dragon was coiled around.
Ye Fan knew the method of Beast Mastery. Of course, he understood the situation.
An equal contract!
An equal contract had been signed between Ye Jinsen and Little Red Dragon.
Typical Beast Tamers, such as the Beast Controlling Sect, would sign a master-servant contract with their beasts.
If the master dies, the servant would die. If the servant dies, the master would be affected, but not as significantly and at least they wouldn’t die.
However, with an equal contract, the death of one party would greatly impact the other, causing damage to their spiritual soul which might hinder them from advancing for the rest of their lives..
