43: This kind of enlightenment tea, my master brews it every day

After a moment of silence, Ye Zhan was the first to speak.

"Fojian, this might displease the Li Family. If they unite with other Families to cause us trouble, it will be problematic!"

He didn't mean to blame him; he just felt the decision was somewhat rash.

"Indeed, Fojian, you were impulsive!"

At this moment, the Grand Elder also couldn't help but speak.

Even the other Elders had some complaints.

"Fojian, you should have considered the consequences more!"

"Our Ye Family is not what it used to be."

Listening to the Elders' scolding, Ye Fojian was annoyed and directly retorted.

"No, Old Man, and all you Elders, they came to our door to provoke us, and you can still tolerate it?"

"Does that mean if they ride on our heads and defecate, you wouldn't dare to resist?"

"What's more, don't you know that guy's demands are excessive? For him to want to marry Sister Ye Mei and Sister Ye Ting, and as concubines no less, I don't know how he dares to even think of it!"

"Don't you know the rules passed down by the Old Ancestor? To be united, to be friendly. Do you look united and friendly like this?"

"And, I don't know what you're thinking. How sad would Sister Ye Mei and Sister Ye Ting be if they knew you were using them to ensure the Ye Family's safety?"

"Also, if the Old Ancestor knew of your behavior, wouldn't he jump out of his grave and strangle you all?!"

"I'm truly ashamed for the Old Ancestors to have such unfilial descendants as you."

"..."

At this moment, Ye Fojian's mouth was like a machine gun, rattling non-stop, each sentence harsher than the last.

Xue Ning looked at this scene in surprise; it was truly... eye-opening and astonishing.

Not only did Ye Fojian openly retort, but the key was that everyone in the Ye Family lowered their heads, looking ashamed.

This completely dumbfounded him!

Those who didn't understand would have thought Ye Fojian was the Ye Family's Old Ancestor!

At the same time, he also felt a hint of curiosity about this peculiar Family.

After a long while, Ye Fojian finally tired of scolding!

"Jian'er, we really can't be blamed. We have to consider the Family's interests!" Ye Zhan said somewhat aggrievedly, pouring out his bitterness.

It was really difficult for him, caught in the middle, okay?

The Grand Elder also began to defend himself: "Fojian, you haven't been home, so you don't know the Family's current situation. Ever since something happened to you, those ungrateful Families have cut ties with us. We are truly struggling!"

Ye Fojian rolled his eyes at everyone. How could he not know the Ye Family's current predicament?

"So, you're blaming me?"

"However, this indeed isn't anyone's fault; it's understandable!"

Although he said that, Ye Fojian was actually more upset than anyone else. He knew that the Family's current state was all because of him, and the Family members had never blamed him.

At this moment, Ye Zhan suddenly asked, puzzled.

"Fojian, I remember you went to participate in the Immortal Seeking Sect's assessment. Did you pass?"

"Also, did they help you solve your Meridians problem? Otherwise, how could you have defeated Li Mubei?"

Upon hearing this.

Everyone's gaze converged on him.

Ye Fojian was silent for a moment, then explained: "I did indeed join the Immortal Seeking Sect, but my Meridians problem was not resolved."

"The reason I could defeat Li Mubei is because I found a very powerful Revered Master. He taught me Body Refining methods, leading me onto the Dao of Body Refining!"

After listening, everyone looked disappointed.

So it was the Dao of Body Refining; what a pity.

After all, everyone on the Xuan Yun Continent knew that the path of Body Refining could not lead one far!

Ye Zhan comforted him: "Jian'er, this is still very good. Although the Dao of Body Refining cannot truly make you a top-tier Strong One, it can make you invincible below the Creation Realm!"

Ye Fojian knew what everyone was thinking, so he didn't explain too much, merely stating calmly: "Don't worry, my Revered Master is very powerful. This kind of problem is no big deal at all!"

Of course, everyone only took his words as a joke and didn't take them to heart.

After all, how powerful could someone from the Immortal Seeking Sect be?

At this moment, Ye Fojian's expression suddenly grew serious.

He carefully took out a beautifully crafted wooden box, then opened it. Inside were the Enlightenment Tea leaves that his Revered Master had previously steeped.

He had collected these little by little, with the purpose of giving them to the Family.

"Look, what is this!"

He placed the wooden box in front of everyone, and a faint holy aura began to emanate, filling the main hall.

Immediately, everyone felt this aura. These auras gave them a sense of enlightenment and brought peace to their minds.

Ye Zhan and the others looked at the Enlightenment Tea leaves, their brows slightly furrowed. The slightly curled leaves did look a bit like some kind of tea. He whispered.

"This, could it be some kind of Spiritual Tea?"

"No." Ye Fojian shook his head.

Beside him, the Grand Elder said, "Then is this the leaf of some Spiritual Plant?"

Ye Fojian still shook his head, saying, "Neither!"

Not Spiritual Tea, nor a Spiritual Plant, then what exactly was this?

For a moment, everyone began to guess.

Xue Ning, at this moment, was staring intently at the Enlightenment Tea in Ye Fojian's hand. He took a deep breath, then said solemnly,

"Youngster Ye, what you have in your hand wouldn't happen to be Enlightenment Tea, would it?"

Ye Fojian looked at Xue Ning in surprise, not expecting him to recognize this item.

At the same time, everyone was shocked upon hearing Xue Ning's words.

Enlightenment Tea!

This thing was actually Enlightenment Tea?

Everyone's eyes became fervent, staring fixedly at the tea leaves inside the box.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Ye Fojian decided not to keep them in suspense any longer, and said proudly: "That's right, this is the legendary Enlightenment Tea!"

Boom!!

Upon hearing this, everyone exploded into an uproar!

"Enlightenment Tea, it's really Enlightenment Tea, and so much of it, there must be hundreds of leaves!"

"Heaven bless our Ye Family!"

"My goodness, Third Brother, hit me. See if I'm dreaming!"

"Ow, Second Brother told you to hit him, why are you pinching me!"

"Sigh, it hurts, so it's definitely not a dream!"

Ye Zhan's breathing also became heavy at this moment. He looked at his son in disbelief, his throat somewhat dry, saying:

He realized a problem.

Even a Supreme Strong One might not obtain a single leaf of Enlightenment Tea, yet his son had hundreds or thousands. Could it be that he plundered some important figure's treasure vault?

He said with a serious expression: "Jian'er, tell me honestly, where did you get this Enlightenment Tea from?"

Everyone quieted down, also beginning to realize the seriousness of the matter, and looked at Ye Fojian nervously.

"Don't worry, everyone, these were all given to me by my Revered Master!" Ye Fojian understood everyone's concerns and explained.

Apparently, no one believed that a powerful figure from the Immortal Seeking Sect could produce such a thing; even Xue Ning was somewhat skeptical.

He knew that Mister was very powerful, but he didn't think he would possess a treasure like Enlightenment Tea.

Seeing that everyone didn't believe him, Ye Fojian got a little angry and snorted: "My Revered Master is a peerless figure; these Enlightenment Tea leaves are just like ordinary tea leaves to him. He brews them to drink every day!"

"These were all given to me by him. Otherwise, do you think I could get so much Enlightenment Tea on my own?"

What Ye Fojian said was true; Jiang Qingchen did drink it every day.

However, to outsiders, it sounded like he was showing off.

What kind of person drinks Enlightenment Tea every day?

If you're going to make something up, at least make it sound believable.

Who would get Enlightenment Tea and not treat it like an ancestor, worshipping it?

However, since Ye Fojian was unwilling to say, they wouldn't press further.

Anyway, as long as these Enlightenment Tea leaves were real, that was enough.

Ye Fojian was too lazy to explain further about this.

It was simply impossible to explain, okay?

A bunch of wild boars who had never tasted fine bran.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you all. Anyway, this stuff is for you to divide amongst yourselves!"

Saying that, he tossed the Enlightenment Tea into Ye Zhan's hand, then warned.

"Old Man, and all you Elders, I'm sure you know the allure of this item. You absolutely must not let a single whisper of it leak out, otherwise, the Ye Family will be doomed forever!"

Everyone's hearts tightened, knowing the seriousness of the matter.

Ye Zhan's eyes suddenly became sharp at this moment, and he said coldly: "It's not that I don't trust everyone, but this item is too important. I have no choice but to do this!"

"Everyone present today must swear an oath by the Dao, absolutely not to leak this information. Violators will be doomed forever!"

What Ye Zhan understood, how could the rest of the Ye Family not understand?

This matter was of great importance; to be absolutely foolproof, they had to do this.

The Ye Family's Grand Elder now took the lead in swearing the oath.

The others followed one after another, swearing their oaths.

Only Xue Ning in the entire hall did not swear an oath.

As for Li Mubei, he had long since fainted.

Everyone's gaze suddenly and coincidentally fell upon him.

Regarding this.

Xue Ning felt like he had never been so speechless in his life.

However, thinking that Ye Fojian was Mister's disciple, he still had to give Face, so he simply swore the oath to put everyone at ease.

Ye Zhan also knew that what they were doing was somewhat unkind, so after distributing the Enlightenment Tea to everyone, Ye Zhan gave two leaves of Enlightenment Tea to Xue Ning, which made him overjoyed!
