68: Chapter 68 The Netherworld Wolf Bites a Direct Descendant, and the Ye Family Demands an Explanation!

Biyang Valley.

Ye Linchuan landed and returned home.

His wives, concubines, and children were all happy.

The Spiritual Root testing ceremony was in five days.

Three days after returning, he had already gotten another concubine pregnant.

Five days later, at the Spiritual Root testing plaza.

There were over twenty children.

Ye Linchuan brought children like Ye An, Ye Ning, and Ye Le to line up.

"No Spiritual Root."

"Next."

"No Spiritual Root."

...

There was no response the entire time.

"Father, Mother..."

The children lowered their heads.

"It's okay, let's go home and eat."

Ye Linchuan rubbed their heads.

But Ye An suddenly looked up, "Father, if one doesn't have a Spiritual Root, can they really not Cultivate?"

Ye Linchuan was silent, "Don't worry, there might be a turn of events in the future!"

Ye An pursed his lips, "Mm!"

...

The next day, he returned to Biyang Prefecture.

Ye Linchuan rode his Spirit Colt.

While flying, a fluctuation came from the side.

A skinny youth was riding a purple flying snake, pursued by five people behind him.

The youth threw over a porcelain bottle.

"Fellow Daoist, I'll gift you an Opportunity... Profound Yin True Water!"

Ye Linchuan caught it.

It was a case of shifting the disaster onto someone else.

But he was tempted.

"Third, Fourth, get it back!"

The pursuers split off two people.

"Attack!"

Ye Linchuan didn't waste words.

He protected himself with a Gold Armor Talisman.

He threw out a stack of High Grade Talismans.

At the same time, he unleashed the black dragon dharma bead.

"A Talisman Treasure!?"

The two changed expression.

"Too late!"

Ye Linchuan said coldly.

The black dragon dharma bead smashed down.

"Boom!"

The two were heavily injured and fell.

"You killed my brother, die!"

The leader of the pursuers roared and unleashed a blood-colored flying knife.

Ye Linchuan used a Spirit Protection Talisman, a shield, and a five-layered golden light barrier in succession.

He blocked it.

Then he controlled the black dragon dharma bead to lock onto the four people.

"Kill!"

He smashed the Talisman Treasure down again.

A Soul-Shaking Talisman, Gold Thunder Talisman, and Heaven and Earth Net Talisman were all unleashed.

The four were trapped.

"Bang!"

The black dragon dharma bead descended, shaking the earth.

Ye Linchuan went up to check.

There were three piles of meat paste and one insect cocoon.

"Not dead yet?"

The insect cocoon exploded, and the youth rushed out.

"Are you sick! Can't you play fair!"

The youth cursed and pulled out a blue orb, "A Heaven Thunder Bead! Move again and we'll go down together!"

Ye Linchuan stopped, "Compensation! Otherwise, don't think about leaving."

"..."

The youth gritted his teeth and threw over a jade box, "Heaven Heart Lotus, a Foundation Establishment treasure, is that enough?"

Ye Linchuan accepted it, "Give me another Physical Body Foundation Establishment treasure."

"I don't have one!"

"Then the Legacy of Insect Repelling."

"I don't have that. Do you want a Beast Taming Legacy? It's Tier 2."

"Fine."

The youth threw over a Jade Slip.

Ye Linchuan let him go.

...

Half an hour later, in a cave.

He tallied his gains.

The blood-colored flying knife was a Top-Grade Magical Artifact.

The black cloud artifact was a Top-Grade flight and defense integrated item, but it was damaged.

There were eight High Grade Magical Artifacts, thirteen Medium Grade ones, and a set of formation tools...

The total value was six or seven thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

"No wonder there are so many rogue cultivators."

Ye Linchuan shook his head, "Can't be greedy. Steady child-rearing is the Righteous Path."

He disguised himself and immediately returned to Biyang Prefecture.

...

Wanbao Pavilion.

"Fellow Daoist, these Magical Artifacts are severely damaged; I can only offer two thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones."

The shopkeeper lowered the price.

"Fine."

Ye Linchuan agreed readily.

Upon leaving, he checked the Spirit Stones.

Three of them had been tampered with.

"A black shop."

He didn't care and went to Qiwu Pavilion to spend it all, buying Materials for Tier 2 Puppets.

...

On the third floor of the Spirit Talisman Shop.

Ye Linchuan took out his Red Radiance Talisman Brush.

He laid out the beast skin Talisman paper.

Taking a deep breath, he began to draw a Tier 3 Talisman.

Spiritual light flowed from the tip of the brush.

Sweat beaded on his forehead.

The final stroke landed.

"Sizzle—"

Purple electric currents surged, and flames spread along the edges.

A Tier 3 Low Grade Thunder Fire Talisman was complete!

"Success on the first try, not bad."

Ye Linchuan wiped his sweat, "It's a pity that I can only activate one at a time."

He put away the Talisman and sat in meditation to recover.

...

Zuixian Tower.

"Young Master Ye, the maidservants you requested have arrived."

Manager Feng smiled charmingly.

Two women were brought over.

Yan Yile, twenty-four or five, wearing red fitted clothing, a ponytail, with a cold temperament like a swordswoman.

Wei Lan, sixteen years old, in a white dress, with a stunning figure.

"Are you willing to be my maidservants?"

"We are willing."

The two women bowed.

Ye Linchuan paid the final balance and received the Zuixian Tower membership token.

"Members have access to high-quality maidservants; you can come and take a look if you're interested."

Manager Feng smiled seductively.

"Sure."

Ye Linchuan brought the two women home.

...

Ten days later.

Inside the Spirit Talisman Shop.

Ye Linchuan held a spiritual pattern engraving knife, outlining on the chest of a metal Puppet.

"It's done."

He stopped.

A Tier 2 Medium Grade Puppet.

He controlled it with the Puppet Control Technique.

The Puppet jumped nimbly and threw a punch.

"Clang!"

Ye Linchuan struck it with a sword, leaving only a white mark.

"It can withstand attacks from the Late Stage of Qi Refining."

"It's a pity that my mental energy is limited, I can't control too many."

Ye Linchuan shook his head, "Wait until I reach Foundation Establishment, or obtain a Divine Sense Cultivation Technique, then I can play the Puppet swarm strategy."

...

Time passed day by day.

Ye Linchuan's days were fulfilling and busy.

Drawing Talismans and crafting Puppets took up most of his time.

But he didn't forget his main business.

Yan Yile and Wei Lan, the two maidservants with Spiritual Roots, were his priority and both became pregnant.

Pang Shiliu and Xu Yueyao also became pregnant with their second child.

There were more and more children in the house, nearing forty.

Before, when the number of children reached thirty, the System rewarded him with a Tier 2 Yao Beast, a Nether Wolf.

The children all liked it, so Ye Linchuan left the Nether Wolf at Biyang Valley.

Now, Ye Linchuan felt a bit of pressure.

He couldn't just focus on having children; he also had to take care of raising them.

Fortunately, his Family assets were solid, so he could still afford to raise them for the time being.

...

That day, on the third floor of the Spirit Talisman Shop.

Ye Linchuan had just finished polishing the Puppet parts and sat down.

Suddenly, his heart palpitated.

It was the familiar palpitation of a Spiritual Root.

"Ning Rongrong's child has been born."

"A Rank 7 Spiritual Root!"

Ye Linchuan was overjoyed.

This feeling couldn't be wrong.

He calmed his mood and continued to sit in meditation to Cultivate.

Half an hour later, he opened his eyes.

His Cultivation speed had increased by nearly ten percent.

"If two or three more Rank 7s come, I'll be able to break through to a Rank 5 Spiritual Root!"

Ye Linchuan's eyes shone.

...

Two months later.

Ye Linchuan looked at the completed Tier 2 Puppet in front of him.

It was nearly two meters tall, made of ink-black metal, holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, with five javelins stuck to its back.

"Finally done."

He wiped his sweat.

It had taken over four months in total.

He cast the Puppet Control Technique.

The Puppet started up with a hum, and Spiritual Pressure spread out.

It slashed with its sword, tearing the air.

"It's too small here to test its full power."

Ye Linchuan shook his head, "If I really have to fight, I need to use Mid-Grade Spirit Stones to power it."

"Ten stones is one thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones... it's burning money."

His heart ached, but it had to be spent.

...

Nine days later.

Ye Linchuan brought two wives and Yan Yile back to Biyang Valley.

The Second Elder saw another pregnant woman by his side and shook his head, "Linchuan, take it easy."

"I know, Second Elder."

Ye Linchuan smiled.

He thought to himself, this is just the beginning.

...

Back at Biyang Valley.

The children saw their father return and swarmed him.

Ye Linchuan patted each of their heads and gave them gifts.

Yan Yile began to teach the children martial arts.

Ye An and the others practiced the most enthusiastically.

Three days later, Ye Linchuan had to return to Biyang Prefecture.

He wanted to take the Nether Wolf away to let it roam free, but the children hugged the Nether Wolf and wouldn't let him.

"Father, don't take Little Black away!"

"Little Black is our friend!"

The children's eyes were filled with tears.

Ye Linchuan softened.

"Alright, keep it for now."

He patted the Nether Wolf's head, "Guard the house well and protect the children."

The Nether Wolf whined and rubbed against his palm.

...

On this trip, Ye Linchuan also brought the sisters Ye Zier and Ye Qing'er.

When the two women arrived at the courtyard in Biyang Prefecture and saw the house full of beautiful women, they were stunned.

"Husband, this..."

Ye Qing'er covered her mouth.

"It's lively with many people."

Ye Linchuan smiled.

At night, he shared his favors equally.

The two women were initially worried about his health, but later found their worries were unnecessary.

...

One month later.

Spirit Talisman Shop.

Ye Linchuan finished his meditation and looked inside his Dantian.

"The Guiyuan Technique is too slow."

"At this speed, it will take several more years to reach the Great Perfection of Qi Refining."

He sighed, "I need to get a good Cultivation Technique."

Just as he was thinking this, his heart palpitated again.

The Spiritual Root bonus had arrived.

At the same time, the System prompt sounded.

[Congratulations to the host for the birth of your seventh descendant with a Spiritual Root, you have obtained a lottery chance!]

"Is it Ye Siyu's child?"

Ye Linchuan guessed.

"System, draw."

The wheel spun and stopped at Medicinal Pill.

[Obtained Life-Prolonging Pill (extends life by ten years)]

"A Life-Prolonging Pill?"

Ye Linchuan raised an eyebrow, "Keep it for now, it might be useful later."

...

Half a month later.

An urgent letter was delivered to the Spirit Talisman Shop.

Ye Linchuan opened it.

It was written by Ye Siyu.

"Something happened at home."

He frowned as he finished reading.

The cause of the incident: Ye An and the others took the Nether Wolf out to play.

A direct descendant of the Family, Young Master Ye Cheng, saw the Nether Wolf and became jealous.

He wanted to trick them into giving it to him.

Ye An was not stupid and didn't fall for it.

Ye Cheng was enraged and wanted to hit them.

The Nether Wolf protected its master, pounced, and bit Ye Cheng, causing serious injuries.

Now Ye Cheng has made a scene at the Family.

He wants to demand an explanation.

Ye Siyu asked Ye Linchuan to return and handle it immediately.

"Finally."

Ye Linchuan put down the letter, his eyes slightly cold.

He had long expected that with many children and a special pet, trouble would come sooner or later.

He just didn't expect it so soon.

"Ye Cheng..."

Ye Linchuan remembered this person.

His parents died in battle for the Family, so the Family had always taken care of him.

But relying on this, this person walked sideways in the clan, and his reputation was very poor.

"For the sake of the Family, paying some money to settle it privately is fine."

"If he dares to push his luck..."

Ye Linchuan stood up, "Luo Yu, Qingyan, I'm going to Biyang Valley, watch the shop."

"Yes, Husband."

Luo Yu and the other woman responded in unison.

Ye Linchuan left the market, rode his Spirit Colt, and flew towards Biyang Valley.

He had already made up his mind.

He didn't cause trouble, but he didn't fear it either.

The necessary bottom line must be maintained!
