Chapter 4: Shendan Pavilion

"I'm back. ”

With a 'squeak', Ye Yu pushed the door in.

The room is not big, about ten square meters, and the layout inside is not luxurious, but it is very warm, and the air is sometimes filled with fragrance, obviously this is a woman's boudoir.

Inside the house, Ye Ke is tidying up his room, the New Year is approaching, and the house must be well tidied up to welcome the New Year, after all, most girls love to be clean and tidy.

"Brother!" Hearing the voice, Ye Ke jumped up to Ye Yu's side and said mischievously: "It's so early today, it won't be lazy, right? If your father finds out, you will be punished." After speaking, he spit out his fragrant tongue, looking very cute.

Ye Yu rubbed her hair dotingly, "You girl, you don't feel sorry for your brother and me at all." ”

"Not really!" Ye Ke responded playfully.

The brother and sister have been like this since they were children, and Ye Yu has long been used to it.

In his previous life, Ye Yu was an only son and had no brothers and sisters, so he naturally couldn't feel that kind of brother and sister feeling.

And in this life, God gave Ye Yu an extra sister, and this sister is also exquisite, sweet, and very likable. Although he is only fifteen or sixteen years old now, from the delicate facial features and perfect outline, it is not difficult to see that in two years, a peerless beauty will appear in the eyes of the world.

But Heaven is fair.

gave Ye Ke a perfect appearance and a delicate heart. But it deprived her of her Shinto talent, to be precise, it made it more difficult for her to go to Shinto. And this kind of difficulty is too cruel for a girl with a delicate heart.

Every time he thought of this, Ye Yu was upset. In his previous life, he was the young master of the Ye Sect, and it can be said that he is a master of the ancient and the present, and even he is helpless, you can imagine how difficult Ye Ke's path to the Divine Dao will be.

However, the little girl saw it very openly, in her words, since she couldn't practice, then she would be a mortal quietly, and it would be good to live an ordinary life.

In this regard, including Ye Yu's parents, they all know very well that this is not Ke'er's true words, she is just comforting her brother and parents, she doesn't want the whole family to be sad because of her.

You must know that in this Nine Heavens Continent, where the cultivation civilization has prevailed for millions of years, a person who cannot cultivate is equivalent to a wasted person, and will make the world look down on him and suffer from cynicism.

Even if it is such a natural talent as Ye Yu, because he can't step into the Divine Dao, he is also despised, not to mention a person like Ke'er who can't cultivate at all, and can't even practice martial arts.

Therefore, for her sister, Ye Yu can be said to be very spoiled, and she can't tolerate others to hurt her in the slightest, even if it is verbal.

"Ke'er, where did my mother go?" Ye Yu was strange, he didn't see his mother for a long time when he came back, usually at this time, the family was having dinner together, what was going on today?

Whether it is in the past life or in this life, Ye Yu cherishes family affection very much.

Hearing this, Ye Ke blinked his beautiful big eyes, and there seemed to be a dodge in his eyes, and it took a long time before he spoke: "Mother... She... She went to Shangguan's house. After speaking, she lowered her head, and secretly observed the expression on Ye Yu's face from time to time with the corner of her eye, but she knew that her eldest brother did not have a good impression of the Shangguan family.

Sure enough, Ye Yu frowned, his face was full of displeasure, "My mother went by herself, or did she come from Shangguan's family?"

"Someone from Shangguan's family came to pick up my mother. Ye Ke whispered, his eyes were full of grievances, and tears were about to flood out, "Brother, I'm sorry, I don't have the ability to stop them from taking away their mother." ”

"I don't blame you!" Ye Yu stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears that were about to flow from Ke'er's eyes, and said with a sinister face: "Hmph, what a Shangguan family, do you really think that my Ye Yu's Shinto path in this life will end here?"

Just because I couldn't break through the shackles in my previous life doesn't mean I can't do it in this life? Since Heaven doesn't recognize me, why should I follow Heaven!

On this day, be rebellious!

"Ke'er, you cook and eat by yourself, I'm going to go out, if Dad comes back, remember to help me tell Dad that the teaching position will let the elder group find a suitable candidate again. Ye Yu looked solemn and hurriedly walked outside.

"Brother, my mother said that you should not go to her. Ye Ke stood in front of the door and shouted loudly towards Ye Yu's distant back.

Ye Yu didn't look back, just waved his hand and made a clear gesture.

......

It was getting dark, but the streets were brightly lit.

Qinghe Town is not big, with a radius of up to 100 miles. However, this small town is only a hundred miles away, but it has a population of six or seven hundred thousand.

From early morning to dusk, as far as the eye can see, it is a lively and extraordinary scene, especially on the main street, which is crowded with people.

Ye Yu walked alone on the street.

Even if Ke'er didn't remind him, he wouldn't do it, it was his mother's family of Shangguan Hong, and when he returned to his mother's house, his mother would definitely not be in danger.

The reason why Ye Yu has no good impression of the Shangguan family is entirely because the Shangguan family is too snobbish.

When he Ye Yu was a peerless genius, the Shangguan family had all kinds of flattery, all kinds of clinging relationships, and his mother was like a pearl in the palm of his hand in the Shangguan family.

And since Ye Yu's cultivation stagnated and was determined to have no relationship with the Immortal Dao, the first person to fall into the well was also his Shangguan family.

This is not the first time something like this has happened.

At the end of the year, the hunting tournament begins. The Shangguan family will send someone to pick up the mother and go back.

Although he verbally said that the old man Shangguan missed his daughter, in fact, he grabbed his mother and went back to be a hostage.

Although Qinghe Town is not big, there are still dozens of large and small families. Among them, the three major families are the most powerful, namely the Ye family, the Shangguan family, and the Nalan family.

These three families have been inherited in Qinghe Town for hundreds of years, as long as they are locals of Qinghe Town, no one will know these three families. Especially the Ye family, it is the first of the three major families, and the Ye family is the most outstanding in the annual hunting competition.

Therefore, the Ye family also has the most spirit stone veins in their hands.

The common currency of the Nine Heavens Continent is the spirit stone, which is not only a transaction currency, but also a cultivation thing that can be absorbed and refined by martial artists.

The more advanced the spirit stone, the purer the aura contained in it, and the less impurities.

Therefore, spirit stones are highly favored, whether it is practicing martial arts or cultivating immortals, they are inseparable from the assistance of spirit stones.

And the reason why the Shangguan family took their mother back was to blackmail Ye Wentian, the head of the Ye family.

At this point, some people will definitely ask, what kind of coercion is the law? I won't kill my own daughter.

Of course, although the Shangguan family is snobbish, it has not yet reached the point where it is inferior to beasts, and it is definitely not possible to kill their own family, but they are very accurate and clearly know Ye Wentian's weakness, that is, their mother-in-law.

Father Ye Wentian and mother Shangguan Hong are very affectionate, the two respect each other like guests, and they have been married for 20 years, and the two have never quarreled because of anything, even if they talk loudly.

The two can be said to be the well-known fairy couple in Qinghe Town.

Because of this, the Shangguan family will send someone to take the mother back, obviously just to wait for the hunting competition to end, so that they can ask the Ye family for the spirit stone vein. If you don't give it, then you Ye Wentian will want to see your daughter-in-law this year.

House arrest!

There is nothing wrong with everything, it is such a naked threat, anyway, Shangguan Hong is the daughter of my Shangguan family, I take my own daughter back to her parents' house, it is a matter of course, not to mention that I will not treat her badly, I will serve her every day.

You Ye Wentian can't use force just because your daughter-in-law has returned to her parents' house, right? Isn't that risking the world's condemnation?

What's more, even if he uses force, he is not afraid of the Shangguan family, although the Ye family is the head of the three major families, it has not yet reached the point of despising the other two families.

In the face of all this, Ye Wentian was very helpless. There is no other way to go, and it should be filial to the old father-in-law.

Although Ye Wentian thinks so, the Ye family is not the head of the family, Ye Wentian alone has the final say.

The Ye family, that is a family, Ip Mantian was elected as the head of the family, it is because he has the ability, he can bring benefits to the family, once these conditions are not established, the elder group may depose Ip Mantian as the head of the family, and then re-elect a new head of the family.

The Shangguan family's tricks, they can endure once, twice, but they will definitely not allow a third time.

This year is the third time.

The Ye family elders are also secretly preparing. If Ye Wentian still chooses to compromise like the previous two times this time, it is impossible to say that they will elect a new head of the family.

As for the Shangguan family, it must also be taught a lesson. The majesty of the first family does not allow for repeated and repeated provocations.

......

"It's here!"

After walking for half an hour, I finally arrived at my destination.

Ye Yu looked at the plaque on his head, and the three golden characters were lifelike 'Shendan Pavilion'.

As the name suggests, this is a shop that mainly sells alchemy and medicinal materials, and it is said to be a branch of the Tianyuan County Town 'Shendan Pavilion' in Qinghe Town.

Speaking of the Shendan Pavilion in Tianyuan County, that fame can be said to have spread throughout the entire Western Dynasty, because there are four-grade alchemy master Xiang Dan in the Shendan Pavilion.

Alchemist!

It was a respectable industry, and it was also one of the many side hustles in the Nine Heavens Continent. At the same time, alchemists are also one of the richest professions.

Whether it is practicing martial arts or cultivating immortals, they will encounter bottlenecks and will be injured. The higher the grade of the alchemist, the better the effect of the elixir refined, and the higher the price.

Of course, the profession of alchemist is not something you can do if you want to be. First of all, you have to have a fire-attribute physique, and second, you have to step into the threshold of the immortal path, because only by stepping into the threshold of the immortal path can you have the ability to attract your own fire-attribute physique, so as to lead out the spiritual fire and open the furnace for alchemy. Of course, the most important thing is talent, even if the first two points are achieved, without talent, you can't go far on the road of alchemy.

Therefore, alchemist is also the rarest profession among the many side hustles in the Nine Heavens Continent.
