Ye Feng recounted his experiences passing through Linyue Town to Ye Zhentian. However, to avoid worrying him, he did not mention the Blazing Horse or his conflict with Zhao Qingyang.
"I didn't expect so many people already knew," Ye Zhentian sighed and said sadly. "That's right, I only learned about this two months ago. I sent Ye Ning to Dragon Tiger Sect and told you not to come back, partly because I was afraid you would get hurt at the Clan Meeting, and partly because I was worried you might go to the Silver Moon Secret Realm."
"The secret realm is indeed wonderful, but one must have the means to obtain treasures from it. You won't blame me for hiding this from you, will you?"
Ye Feng suddenly understood that his grandfather had concealed this matter out of concern for him. Fortunately, he insisted on returning for the Clan Meeting; otherwise, he would have missed this great opportunity.
"However, I am very reassured about your cultivation now. Although you just broke through to the Origin Martial Realm, you can protect yourself in the Silver Moon Secret Realm. Because of its emergence, this Clan Meeting will also be related to the Silver Moon Secret Realm. Only by succeeding in the Clan Meeting will you qualify to comprehend our Ye Family's Heritage Jade."
The Heritage Jade is fundamental to the Ye Family, but Ye Feng did not know its secrets. Only those disciples of the Ye Family who excelled in the Clan Meeting would be informed of the uses and origins of the Heritage Jade after qualifying to comprehend it.
Ye Feng felt a surge of excitement and longed for the Heritage Jade of the Ye Family.
"The situation in our family is quite critical now. Your father won at the Clan Meeting and became the heir to be Head of the Ye Family, but now..." Ye Zhentian shook his head and said with a somber expression, "Because of issues regarding the heirship, your uncle and second uncle have repeatedly challenged me, demanding that I revoke your father's qualification as heir. Our branch of the Ye Family was once on par with the Ning Family among the Four Great Families in Silvermoon City, but now we have fallen to a low status. The other families have been riding roughshod over us. You must do well in your journey to the Silver Moon Secret Realm!"
"Don't worry, Grandpa!" Ye Feng patted his chest and said with determination, "I will not let you down!"
Ye Chen mimicked him and also made a loud promise, which made Ye Zhentian laugh heartily.
The three of them chatted for another half an hour until it grew late. Ye Feng then bid farewell to Ye Zhentian and walked toward his family's courtyard.
"Ye Feng brother!" At the entrance of the courtyard, a petite and adorable figure suddenly appeared, jumping in front of Ye Feng and his brother. "Why are you back so late? I've been waiting for you both for a long time!"
Ye Feng smiled slightly; the little girl before him was none other than Ye Ning, whom he had just parted with not long ago.
"Weren't you told to rest at home? Why did you come over?"
"I can't stay alone! Besides, it's not every day that my Ye Feng brother comes back; don't you miss Ning Er at all?" Ye Ning said with a blush.
"Ha ha." Ye Feng said nonchalantly with a smile, "Alright, I can tell from your expression that you have something on your mind. Go ahead and tell me."
Ye Ning furrowed her brows, her tone a bit tense as she said, "Ye Zhan has returned from Flowing Cloud Villa, and he knows that you have crippled Ye Jin's cultivation. He has already spread the word that during this Clan Meeting, he will definitely not let you off easily. Brother Ye Feng, you must be careful! Even though you have broken through to the Origin Martial Realm, it is said that Ye Zhan has already reached the Third Level of Yuan Martial Arts, which is three realms higher than you!"
"Third Level of Yuan Martial Arts? Hmph, it's nothing special!" A glint of fierceness flashed in Ye Feng's eyes as he said, "Ning Er, Ye Jin is not crippled; he is dead!"
"Dead? Brother Ye Feng killed him?" Ye Ning gasped in disbelief, covering her mouth.
"Brother, did you really kill Ye Jin?" Ye Chen's face turned pale.
"No, after all, he is a disciple of the Ye Family. Even if I hate him, I must spare his life for Grandpa's sake!" Ye Feng said fiercely.
"But Ye Zhan won't think so. No matter who killed Ye Jin, he will definitely hold you responsible!" Ye Ning said with a grim expression.
Ye Feng sneered, showing no fear of Ye Zhan at all.
"When soldiers come, I will block them; when water comes, I will dam it. You don't need to worry about this matter. Since you are all here, I have some Essence-Enhancing Pills for you. There are still seven days until the Clan Meeting begins; you must strive to improve your cultivation before then!"
"Essence-Enhancing Pills!" Seeing Ye Feng take out two bottles of Essence-Enhancing Pills, Ye Chen and Ye Ning's eyes widened in astonishment.
These are exceptional pills for martial artists in the Martial Realm to enhance their cultivation. Even the wealthy Dragon Tiger Sect only distributes one Essence-Enhancing Pill to Outer Sect Disciples every three months. This shows how precious these pills are.
Although Sect Missions can also reward a small number of Essence-Enhancing Pills, there probably isn't anyone in the entire Outer Sect of the Dragon Tiger Sect who is as abnormal as Ye Feng, daring to hunt beasts alone to earn Essence-Enhancing Pills. Most people form teams of four or five, which means each person receives even fewer pills.
Whether in the Misty Forest or Flame Gorge, the beasts inside may appear alone or in groups; going alone could lead to an unexpected death.
Ye Feng possesses spiritual energy and is a Qi Refinement Level 1 cultivator. His spiritual sense far exceeds that of ordinary people; he knows how to seek fortune and avoid danger by finding solitary beasts to kill, which allows him to achieve such great gains.
"Brother, these are truly Essence-Enhancing Pills!" As soon as Ye Feng handed over the Essence-Enhancing Pills, Ye Ning and Ye Chen were shocked by the number of pills in the bottle.
A full ten pills!
"Brother, this is too much," Ye Chen exclaimed, his face flushed with excitement as he waved his arms around.
"Ye Feng, you just broke through to the Origin Martial Realm. The Essence-Enhancing Pills are still useful for you, especially since you need to deal with Ye Zhan. You should keep these Essence-Enhancing Pills for yourself!" Although Ye Ning was also very fond of the Essence-Enhancing Pills in her hands, she thought about Ye Feng's current situation and unhesitatingly pushed the pills back to him.
"Don't worry, I still have three more bottles!" Ye Feng waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Three bottles!" The two little ones were completely speechless.
"Alright, you two go and focus on your training. I need to get back to my own cultivation as well. Seven days will pass quickly, and if your cultivation hasn't improved by the Clan Meeting day, I will be angry!"
After leaving that half-joking remark, Ye Feng turned and walked toward his room.
The room was still arranged the same way, almost unchanged from three years ago. Looking at the clean and tidy room, Ye Feng felt a warm sensation in his heart as he remembered how hard little sister Ye Ning had worked to clean it.
After sipping a few mouthfuls of the tea that had long been brewed, Ye Feng walked to his bedside and sat cross-legged.
"Having just broken through to the Origin Martial Realm, the Essence Pill has shattered. I need to refine a new Essence Pill. This is also the last use for the thirty remaining Essence-Enhancing Pills. If I want to break through again in the future, I'll need higher-level Gathering Essence Pills!"
Ye Feng took out thirty Essence-Enhancing Pills and gazed at these precious pills that had propelled his cultivation forward. His emotions gradually rose.
"Since I was able to earn so many Essence-Enhancing Pills before, there shouldn't be any problem obtaining Gathering Essence Pills in the future. Sooner or later, I will break through to the Gangwu Realm and become the strongest martial artist in the Northern Jin Kingdom!"
With determination set, Ye Feng calmed his mind and slowly swallowed one of the Essence-Enhancing Pills.
After breaking through the Origin Martial Realm, stabilizing one's cultivation is a lengthy process. Many martial artists become overly relaxed after their breakthrough and fail to stabilize their cultivation in time, resulting in the new Essence Pill within them failing to condense, ultimately leading to a tragic regression in their cultivation.
Ye Feng had a solid foundation to begin with. Although his progress was somewhat rapid, he took the time to consolidate his cultivation with each breakthrough, so he faced no significant issues.
The Essence-Enhancing Pill dissolved instantly upon entering his mouth, and soon a surge of Vital Energy appeared in his Meridian. Ye Feng held his breath and focused, guiding the Vital Energy down into his Dantian.
Several hours later, after swallowing all thirty Essence-Enhancing Pills, Ye Feng felt no discomfort or swelling in his Meridian or Dantian. Thanks to the previous refinement of Vital Energy, his Meridian had become at least twice as resilient.
What remained was to mobilize the vast ocean-like Vital Energy in his Dantian and re-condense it into a new Essence Pill!
…………
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Feng practiced day and night, completely ignoring the turmoil outside.
However, the others in the Ye Family did not share this sentiment. They believed that as soon as Ye Zhan returned, Ye Feng hid away to cultivate out of fear of retaliation from Ye Zhan.
The news of Ye Jin's death at the hands of Ye Feng gradually spread within the Ye Family. Many genuinely believed that it was only a matter of time before Ye Feng would meet his end at Ye Zhan's hands.
Ye Ning and Ye Chen had already emerged from their rooms two days earlier. With the help of Ye Feng's Essence-Enhancing Pills, both had successfully broken through to the seventh level and Yae respectively.
As Ye Feng continued to remain absent, rumors grew more convincing, as if Ye Jin had indeed been killed by Ye Feng. Although they were anxious about it, their low status meant that no one took their words seriously.
Today, the weather was clear and cloudless. The Training Ground of the Ye Family was bustling with people; over a hundred members of the family gathered together, waiting for the Clan Meeting to commence.
The guards of the Ye Family stood on either side of the Training Ground, fully armed and solemn in demeanor.
The Clan Meeting of the Ye Family occurred once every three years and was the most important day for the entire family. Unless there were urgent matters requiring the head of the family’s approval, every disciple of the Ye Family was required to attend.
"Grandpa, the Clan Meeting is about to start. I don't think Ye Feng dares to come!"
Ye Zhan had just turned eighteen this year and had reached the Third Level of Yuan Martial Realm. He was highly regarded by Flowing Cloud Villa and considered a Core Disciple.
At this moment, he stood in the center of the Training Ground, wearing silver battle armor, looking arrogantly at the elders seated on the high platform.
"The time has not yet come, so calm down. Feng Er will definitely arrive!" Ye Zhentian frowned. Among all his grandsons, he favored Ye Feng the most, followed closely by Ye Zhan. He was very satisfied with Ye Zhan's talent and potential, seeing him as the best choice for revitalizing the Ye Family. However, due to his lack of experience with setbacks and his flamboyant nature, he paled in comparison to the more reserved and humble Ye Feng.
As soon as Ye Zhentian finished speaking, a commotion arose in the crowd. Before long, Ye Feng executed the Wind Chaser Step, leaping high into the air, lightly tapping his feet on the heads of the servants gathered around the Training Ground, appearing like a gust of wind on the Training Ground.
"Grandpa, please forgive me for being a bit late!"
"Hmph, Ye Feng, you really have the guts to attend the Clan Meeting!" Ye Feng's dramatic entrance completely overshadowed Ye Zhan, filling him with jealousy and resentment.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa. I was late because I was consolidating my Origin Martial Realm cultivation!" Glancing at the furious Ye Zhan, Ye Feng remained indifferent to his accusations and directly bowed to Ye Zhentian on the platform to express his apologies.
"It’s fine; it’s not noon yet, so you haven't violated clan rules!" Ye Zhentian nodded in satisfaction.
