228: Chapter 228 Devouring the Ye Family's Resources

"A wise choice."

13th Ancestor Ye Qingci looked at Ji Taichang, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, a hint of admiration appearing in her eyes. She was very satisfied with Ji Taichang's approach in persuading Ye Xiyan to return to the Imperial Clan.

[Ding! 13th Ancestor Ye Qingci's favorability increased by 5 points. You may obtain 10% of Xiao Juetian's cultivation/ability. Please choose.]

[13th Ancestor Ye Qingci's favorability: 10 (There will be a surprise when favorability reaches 100!)]

"As her Revered Master, being able to Cultivate a Flying Immortal Body can be considered a merit."

13th Ancestor Ye Qingci said, "Once she returns to the Imperial Clan, your relationship will end here. You may propose one condition to the Imperial Clan as compensation; as long as it is not too excessive, the Imperial Clan can satisfy it."

Clearly, 13th Ancestor Ye Qingci intended to take Ye Xiyan away and have her sever the Revered Master-Disciple relationship with Ji Taichang; this was equivalent to giving Ji Taichang "severance pay"!

"Propose a condition to the Imperial Clan?"

Ji Taichang's eyes brightened slightly. He rubbed his chin and began to think seriously.

He now had the Shuiyue Holy Land to rely on, with Nan Yin and Lu Qingmeng as his backing. He did not need to Cultivate himself, nor was he lacking in Cultivation resources or Magic Treasures. What kind of condition should he propose?

"I don't want my relationship with Revered Master to end he... Mmph!"

Ye Xiyan's eyes widened slightly. Just as she was about to refuse, Ji Taichang quickly covered her mouth with a swift hand.

"Silly girl, don't ruin my chance to propose a condition to the Imperial Clan!"

Ji Taichang quietly transmitted his voice to Ye Xiyan, "The Imperial Clan wants you to sever the Revered Master-Disciple relationship with me, so just tell them it's already done. They won't do anything to me anyway."

"But how could the Revered Master-Disciple bond between us be severed by just a single sentence?"

"Your strength is still weak right now, so just pretend to listen to the Imperial Clan on the surface, and then aggressively devour the Imperial Clan's resources to strengthen yourself!"

"You possess the strongest Flying Immortal Body! In the future, when your strength is strong enough, you can rule the world and directly control the entire Ye Family. Won't everything be up to you then?"

Ji Taichang's words caused Ye Xiyan's heart to skip a beat.

"Okay! I'll listen to Revered Master!"

Ye Xiyan also quietly transmitted her voice to Ji Taichang.

"Very good, worthy of being my Disciple!"

Ji Taichang nodded with satisfaction, turned to look at 13th Ancestor Ye Qingci, and said seriously, "I need treasures capable of healing injuries to the Primordial Spirit and nourishing the Primordial Spirit. The higher the grade, the better!"

Yun Qiyao, who was observing from the shadows, was shocked upon hearing this!

Ji Taichang was not injured; these treasures for nourishing the Primordial Spirit were definitely for her!

Although Ji Taichang was certainly doing it so that he would have a stronger fighter.

But ultimately, Ji Taichang had used up the precious Opportunity to propose a condition to the Imperial Clan to seek benefits for Yun Qiyao. This favor was genuine.

[Ding! Yun Qiyao's favorability increased by 1 point.]

[Yun Qiyao's favorability: 8 (There will be a surprise when favorability reaches 100!)]

"Treasures to heal injuries to the Primordial Spirit and nourish the Primordial Spirit... Very well, I will have them sent to you later."

13th Ancestor Ye Qingci nodded.

The Imperial Clan had an incredibly profound foundation; a few treasures to nourish the Primordial Spirit meant nothing to them.

She looked at Ye Xiyan, her tone softening slightly, "Little girl, go home and prepare. You may bring a few family members back to the Imperial Clan, but the number cannot be too large."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiyan subconsciously looked at Ye Yuan.

After all, she only had Ye Yuan left as family.

Ye Yuan hesitated for a moment, but shook his head, "I wish to stay behind to repay the kindness of Fellow Daoist Ji."

For some time now, Ji Taichang had been helping the two of them, grandfather and granddaughter, and Ye Yuan hadn't been able to help Ji Taichang with anything, which made him feel somewhat guilty.

Now that Ye Yuan was also about to have a Breakthrough to the Body Integration Stage, he could be considered a powerhouse in the Eastern Desolate Region, so naturally, he wanted to repay Ji Taichang.

"Very well."

Although Ye Xiyan was full of reluctance, she still nodded, supporting Ye Yuan's decision.

"Forget it."

Ji Taichang quickly waved his hand, "Your current Cultivation won't be of much help. You had better go over and accompany Xiao Yan, and don't let her get bullied in the Imperial Clan."

Although Ye Xiyan had the Flying Immortal Body, she was ultimately just a little girl. Being all alone in the Imperial Clan, if Ye Yuan followed her, he could look after her.

"But..."

Ye Yuan wanted to say something more, but Ji Taichang transmitted his voice, "The little girl doesn't understand, but don't you understand, Old Ye?"

"You are the biological grandfather of the Flying Immortal Body, her only relative. Once you go to the Imperial Clan, will you be lacking in treasures and Cultivation resources?"

"Go over first to take care of Xiao Yan, and at the same time, aggressively devour the Imperial Clan's resources. When Xiao Yan's status is solidified in the future and your Cultivation has improved, won't it be fine to come back and repay the favor then?"

Ye Yuan's pupils shrank slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Ji is as thoughtful as ever!"

"Rest assured, when I achieve success in my Cultivation in the future, I will definitely bring Xiao Yan back to repay your kindness!"

Ye Yuan said in a solemn tone, replying to Ji Taichang via voice transmission.

In the end, 13th Ancestor Ye Qingci tore through the Void Realm, and taking Ye Xiyan and Ye Yuan with her, left the Eastern Desolate Region and began to return to the Imperial Clan in the Central Plains Great Domain!

"The Ye Family is actually a branch of the Imperial Clan... They really know how to hide their strength!"

Lan Huaying, who was on the side, couldn't help but sigh, truly somewhat surprised.

"Heh, I don't even need to guess to know that the Ye Family of the Eastern Desolate Region is merely an abandoned child of the Imperial Clan."

Ji Taichang sneered, "The Ye Family was almost wiped out by the Black Thorn Cult, and the Imperial Clan didn't even ask. But when Ye Xiyan Awakened the Flying Immortal Body, they came running to make her acknowledge her ancestors. This so-called Imperial Clan is truly heartless."

Lan Huaying opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't dare to recklessly comment on the Imperial Clan; after all, she didn't know what exactly had happened between the Ye Family and the Imperial Clan.

"System, claim Xiao Juetian's Cultivation!"

Ji Taichang silently thought to himself.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 10% of Xiao Juetian's Cultivation!]

A surge of majestic power emerged from thin air, causing Ji Taichang's aura of Cultivation to soar steadily. His five Supreme-grade talents simultaneously revived, continuously growing stronger!

"Void Refinement Stage... Seventh Level!?"

Ji Taichang sensed the rapid progress of his own Cultivation, and his eyes widened slightly, quite pleasantly surprised!

One must know that Ji Taichang now possessed five Supreme-grade talents, and the power required for a Breakthrough was already an astronomical figure. Yet, 10% of Xiao Juetian's Cultivation still allowed Ji Taichang to break through three minor Realms in a row!

"It seems this Xiao Juetian is at least a Peak powerhouse at the Ninth Level of the Body Integration Stage!"

"This peerless benefactor is a good person!"

Ji Taichang was delighted in his heart, and his favorability towards 13th Ancestor Ye Qingci increased slightly.

"This time, the Opportunity and fortune were all obtained by Old Ye and Xiao Yan, but it doesn't matter. I will take you to another treasure trove!"

"Kunkun, let's go!"

Ji Taichang was in a very good mood. He used Kunkun as a mount and, carrying Lan Huaying, began their journey.

Kunkun was worthy of being a great demon of the Body Integration Stage; its flying speed was incredibly fast. The vast land constantly shrank and receded as it advanced according to Ji Taichang's guidance.

"This direction... Wait a moment! Fellow Daoist Ji, where are we going?"

Lan Huaying suddenly widened her eyes, keenly noticing that the environment ahead was somewhat abnormal!
