Highs Mountain, Meeting Hall.
As soon as Ye Shulong rode the Fairy Crane King back to Highs Mountain, he summoned the first elder, Ye Lingjiang, and the fifth elder, Ye Mingrui, to the meeting hall.
After receiving the news, Ye Lingjiang, who had just entered the meeting hall with Ye Mingrui, saw Ye Shulong sitting at the long table of the meeting hall and asked.
"Clan Leader, have you gained anything from your trip to Groundless Sect?"
"Clan Leader, did you exchange water iron ore for the second-level alchemy inheritance?" Ye Mingrui asked with the expected look.
Ye Shulong said with a smile, detailing this harvest. "Fortunately, we got what we had planned of it. During this trip to Groundless Sect, I exchanged the water iron ore for not only the second-level alchemy and the first-level weapon refining inheritance but also a set of first-level formation inheritance. As for the foundation-building skills, the one I chose was the "Age Tree," a wood-based technique that complements Ye Kongteng's main practice of wood spiritual roots.
One of the reasons why I chose this Age Tree cultivation method is that with this technique, Kongteng can use the secret skill, Age Heal, that could give him ultimate vitality, with such vitality, it would be impossible for the same or even two or three higher realm enemies to kill him, with such skill, and he also knew Infinite Sword Technique, with these two he could kill many enemies, and he won't be tried as well, so without absolute strength, no one could do anything to him.
It's just that in exchange for these four things, it exceeded the water iron ore we imagined and spent a total of 500,000 kilograms of water iron ore; we have to give them 50,000 water iron ore per month."
Ye Lingjiang didn't care about the share of water iron ore they spent but laughed out loud. "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. With the second-level alchemy inheritance here, as long as the clan leader becomes a second-level alchemist and two other alchemy seedlings in the clan, our Ye family will definitely prosper, and out of a hundred arts, our family has five arts, which are assets to our family: Formation Arts, Weapons Refining, Tasliman Art, Pill Refining, and Farmer. We, the Ye family, have the first-level inheritance of five arts. Our background now was comparable to a well-established foundation-building family, so it's a very good thing."
As for Ye Mingrui, who was already a First Stage High-Grade Formation Master and also happy to learn more different styles of formation, it was a pity that there was no second stage, and even if there was a second stage, without becoming a Foundation Building Realm, she couldn't learn it.
Although it was a pity, Ye Mingrui felt regret; she wasn't the type of person who thought of regret every time. She was the type of person who moved on to the next thing fast.
Ye Shulong looked at Ye Mingrui and asked, "Fifth Elder, do you have any candidate in mind that can learn formation?"
Ye Mingrui frowned for a while before replying, "That girl, Kongru, is good at formation; I have been teaching her for a year, and some months more, she will be First Stage Low-Grade Formation Master."
"Kongru, if she took around two years to learn formation, then she is a good seedling," Ye Shulong said; he took out a book about formation, "Take this, and I planned for you to stay in Yellow Lake, there is a Second Stage Low Grade Formation set up by supreme elder of Groundless Sect, you can go there and study the formation and also take Kongru with you, and teach her about formation, and set up after a month."
Ye Mingrui heard, and her heart jumped in happiness. Her face was calm though, and she said okay.
"Okay, For Formation Master, we found seedlings for the next generation; now we need a talisman, farmer, alchemy, and weapon refining seedlings; during my absence, have you found any candidates?" Ye Shulong asked.
"For the farmer, I think Ye Kongnolisi is good enough; he is already a Mid-Grade Farmer, and it won't take long for him to become High-Grade," Ye Lingjiang said.
"Yes, he is good, so for the farmer, we also got one, now talisman, alchemy, and weapon. Are there any suggestions?" Ye Shulong nodded and asked.
"Ye Moshu is giving training to the Five Kong Generation. Soon, he will report on which is the best candidate for family extra care," Ye Mingrui said.
"Oh, what about alchemy and weapon?" Ye Shulong nodded and asked.
"For alchemy, we have one, but for weapons refining," Ye Lingjiang didn't speak more.
Ye Shulong frowned, "Is there no one in Kong Generation?"
"No, there is no one, and the Ming Generation has one, but he is already over fifty years old," Ye Lingjiang said.
Ye Shulong frowned. He spent a lot of money to acquire the weapon-refining inheritance from the Groundless Sect, But, no one in the family can inherit it, which is really the Ye family's tragedy.
With a helpless sigh, Ye Shulong thought he was not only a second-stage spiritual planter but also a first-stage middle-grade weapon refiner and a first-stage low-grade alchemy master, and he mastered three types of arts.
He planned to let a tribesman with outstanding understanding practice two arts so as to prepare for Ye Mogong's death and not leave the family in a situation where there was no weapon refiner. Since Ye Mogong was the only weapon refiner they had beside him. Ye Shulong was always busy with his cultivation and keeping his clan stable, so he didn't have time for weapon refining.
Suddenly, Ye Shulong's eyes lit up, "Why not let Kongnolisi inherit this weapon refining?"
As soon as this proposal came out, Ye Lingjiang, who regarded Ye Nolisi as his successor, sternly rejected it, "No, let's not talk about whether Kongnolisi can comprehend the weapon refining path. Let's just say that Kongnolisi has already entered the spiritual planter cultivation path and he also need to focus in his cultivation. If he is allowed to step into the weapon refining path again, I'm afraid he won't be able to become perfect Qi Refining before age of sixty."
Ye Mingrui didn't speak, but she was also in favor of Ye Lingjiang.
Ye Shulong saw this and understood that these two didn't know Ye Nolisi's talent for understanding. Could the person who could realize the Infinite Sword Technique in a few months not understand weapons refining? What a joke. Even he, The Foundation Building Realm, with the greatest talent in the history of the Ye Family, feels inferior compared to Ye Nolisi's talent of understanding.
If given time, Ye Nolisi would understand all hundred arts, let alone just one Weapon Refining.
Ye Shulong told Ye Nolisi's talent of understanding. He said to them that Ye Nolisi could understand Infinite Sword Technique in a few months, so what's the problem with letting him inherit Weapon Refining?
Ye Lingjiang and Ye Mingrui were stunned. They two had the same shocked expression as Ye Shulong heard when he heard it the first time. They both knew what the Infinite Sword Technique was. However, the technique was not something that people couldn't understand; it's just the method was complex enough that the person needed a minimum of a years to understand, but Ye Nolisi understood in some months.
"So, do you think it's okay let Kongnolisi inherit Weapon Refining?" Ye Shulong asked again.
This time, two of them agreed. If learning this art won't delay Ye Nolisi's cultivation, then they hope that he learns everything.
Ye Shulong was happy, and he also decided to learn alchemy. Since only the Foundation Building Realm could learn the second stage of arts, then as only the foundation building realm of family, he was the only option there to learn the alchemy second stage recipe he got.
