Chapter 142: Breaking the Golden Eyes【5K】
Ye Qinchu nodded when he heard this, and then stayed outside to wait for the two to break through.
But then, to their regret, Ye Qinxin still failed to break through. Her Canghe Sutra mainly studied the principles of water and soil, and there was nothing special about it in opening the bottleneck.
Fortunately, Canghejing is quite good at recovering from injuries, and he may be able to make another breakthrough in about ten years.
Ye Qinxin is exactly 89 years old this year, which means that she will have another chance to break through in ten years. With the help of this accumulation, the success rate should be able to increase to about 40% to 50% by then.
After Ye Qinxin's breakthrough, Ye Qinyang's breakthrough took an exceptionally long time. After he entered the cave for a week, he still hadn't come out of it.
It was not until Ye Linyuan could no longer bear it and forced open the retreat room that he discovered that there was only a charred skeleton left in the retreat room.
"Husband."
The moment Chu Lingxin saw the dry bones, she was so shocked that she fainted on the spot.
The Ye family was in chaos on the spot, and they all hurriedly helped Chu Lingxin up.
When Ye Linyuan arrived in front of the dry bones, he found a suicide note and a jade bottle containing a meridian-protecting pill not far away.
He picked up the letter and found it was left for him. He then opened it and read the contents:
"Nephew Lin Yuan: If you see this suicide note, it proves that I, your uncle, have failed to break through.
This is the last time that your Second Uncle will shamelessly call himself your Second Uncle in front of you.
It's a shame to say that my second uncle spent the first half of his life practicing cultivation and achieved nothing.
Thanks to you, my cultivation has made great progress in the second half of my life. I have actually been able to cultivate all the way to the state of great perfection in Qi training. This was something I could not have imagined in my early years. Now that I have the opportunity to build a foundation, it is all thanks to your kindness.
Second Uncle tried his best in building the foundation this time. His success was due to luck, and his failure was also reasonable.
As for this meridian-protecting pill, it is better to leave it to someone useful in the family.
Second uncle, I am already old. Even if I continue to take the meridian-protecting pills to survive, I can only survive for a few decades. What use will it be to the family?
As for the selection of the alchemist, you don't have to worry too much. Your second uncle has found a good candidate for you over the years.
Xuan Jin has been refining pills with his second uncle for many years. Although he only has the qualifications of four spiritual roots, his talent for refining pills is far superior to that of his second uncle. At a young age, he has become a first-class top-grade alchemist. I think he can share some of the work with you.
As for the person in charge of the family and the personnel of various industries, my second uncle has already made the arrangements. You can take a look at them.
……
Ye Qinyang's letter was particularly long. He wrote everything in detail, from the meridian protecting pill to the family's personnel arrangements, and then to the various family affairs in the future.
For many years, Ye Qinyang did not dare to call himself the second uncle in front of Ye Linyuan, but now he always calls himself the second uncle in the letter, as if he wanted to make up for the title of second uncle that he owed.
The letter was filled with thousands of words, and it was not until the end of the envelope that he finally wrote:
I have a thousand words to say, but paper is too short.
Life is like this, it will eventually come to an end.
You are extremely talented, and your uncle believes that you can keep going.
However, the road to cultivation is dangerous, please take care of yourself. "
Ye Linyuan slowly closed the letter, then looked at the charred bones in front of him and fell into silence.
He remained silent for a long time, and finally said with a sigh: "Second Uncle, have a safe journey."
"..."
Ye Qinyang's funeral was held in a low-key manner, with only members of the Ye family and a few of his close friends attending.
This was what Ye Qinyang said himself. At his age, he has become indifferent to fame, fortune and vanity, and understands that a simple and ordinary life is the real life.
Life does not bring it, death does not take it away.
His bones turned into dust and soil, and he was buried not far from Old Man Ye's grave.
"The only thing that makes one sad and heartbroken is separation."
Ye Linyuan stood in front of the new grave, looking at the grief-stricken Chu Lingxin, and suddenly seemed to realize something.
Shui Hanqing held Ye Linyuan, and looked at him with a bit of sadness in her eyes: "You are buried in the abyss, your bones are rotten in the mud, and I am living in the world with snow all over my head."
"Husband, will this day come to us?"
Ye Linyuan remained silent, but did not answer.
He was just a man struggling to survive in this mortal world and could not make any promises to her. He just turned around and left the cemetery in the back mountain.
Watching him leave, Shui Hanqing understood something, and she just stood there for a long time.
Her gentle gaze gradually hardened, and then she lowered her head and looked calmly at the sword in her hand, with a hint of determination in her eyes.
“My husband, you hate the Dao-swallowing method the most, but Han Qing will go on.”
"I will use this evil and filthy sword to kill my way through this depraved world and live forever with you."
"..."
Ye Linyuan left the back mountain and came to Yejia Town.
After years of development, Yejia Village has grown into Yejia Town, where thousands of mortals of the Ye family gather. It is the place with the most prosperous worldly energy among the seven islands of Xinghu.
It was just nightfall, and Ye Linyuan could see the mother lamp hanging high in the sky, and the faint candlelight it emitted enveloped the entire Yejia Town.
At this time, every household in the town was hung with lanterns, and a large number of Ye family members were outside enjoying the scenery, creating a bustling and prosperous scene.
"It turns out that the Changming Festival has arrived."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and couldn't help feeling a little nostalgic.
The Ever Bright Festival is a special festival in this world. Every time the Ever Bright Festival comes, mortal villages and towns will be filled with lanterns in an attempt to illuminate the dark night.
Ye Linyuan had also heard about the origin of the eternal lamp.
Legend has it that in ancient times, the heaven and earth underwent a great change. A ray of darkness covered the entire ancient world of the Nine Heavens, plunging the heaven and earth into a long period of darkness.
Later, those powerful men in ancient times burned themselves, illuminating the entire world like candles in the darkness, and lit up eternal lamps like stars for the ancient world of Nine Heavens.
Later, the War of Destruction broke out, and the entire ancient era was completely buried.
Today, most of the legends about ancient times have disappeared, but later generations have recorded some traces of the ancient era in the form of the Changming Festival.
"Eternal Light Festival, eternal darkness."
“Is the ancient legend true?”
Ye Linyuan walked among the crowd without disturbing anyone, just looking at the lights of the eternal night calmly.
But at this moment, he suddenly heard a childish voice: "Uncle, are you here to see the lights too?"
Ye Linyuan looked back and found a child of five or six years old walking towards him, his big eyes full of curiosity.
This made Ye Linyuan stunned for a moment. After confirming that he was talking to him, he asked, "Can you see me?"
“Why can’t I see it?”
The young child tilted his head and asked in confusion.
Ye Linyuan was silent. His Black Turtle Breath-Concealing Technique had already reached a high level. Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator standing in front of him would subconsciously ignore him. This young child had no cultivation at all, yet he could actually ignore the Dao aura in him. This was really beyond Ye Linyuan's expectations.
Knowing this, Ye Linyuan immediately walked up to the child and looked at his eyes carefully. He saw a faint golden light in his pupils, and a look of understanding appeared on his face.
"Golden pupil that breaks delusion."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and a hint of surprise appeared in his pupils.
The so-called golden pupil that can break through illusions is itself an extremely powerful innate magical power. It is very similar to the innate Taoist body, but also has a huge difference.
Because this is a natural supernatural power, inherited from the bloodline of ancient great supernatural powers.
Legend has it that in ancient times, powerful spirits of heaven and earth, as well as peerless realm masters above the realm of refining emptiness, could cultivate themselves into the great way and refine it into their blood.
In the Lianxu realm, one can refine supernatural powers and refine them into one's own blood, turning them into one's own innate supernatural powers, thereby unleashing even more powerful power.
Refining supernatural powers is also a preparation for refining the great way in the future and breaking through the state of fusion.
The magical powers that are ingrained into the bloodline will also be passed on to the bloodline descendants of the Lord of the Lianxu Realm. If the later generations have strong enough talents, they may be able to awaken the magical powers that belong to the Lord of the Lianxu Realm.
Such magical powers are often extremely powerful. You should know that the magical powers cultivated by the Lord of the Refining Void Realm are all supreme magical powers at the Xuantian level, so they all have unprecedented power that shocks the world.
The golden pupils that have awakened in the child before him are the "Xuantian Divine Power" that was famous in ancient times.
This delusion-breaking golden pupil can penetrate the netherworld and the void, and see through all illusions and flaws. It is said to be one of the ten great pupil skills in ancient times, and it seems to rank quite high among them. Knowing this, Ye Linyuan looked at the child again, but saw that there was a dark calamity covering his head, and there was also a golden light that penetrated the calamity. The two actually showed a trend of competing against each other.
"He is extremely gifted, has been doomed to misfortune, and has a brilliant destiny. I'm afraid he is a man of destiny."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and a hint of surprise appeared in his pupils.
This kind of brilliant golden destiny is the first time he has seen it in his previous life. It means that the upper limit of the child's future achievements will be incredibly high. Theoretically, he can break through to the Nascent Soul stage and even have the potential to become a God.
Of course, fate only represents a person's upper limit and cannot determine a person's lower limit. Whether one can cultivate to that level depends on the person's luck and opportunity.
Since ancient times, people with noble fate may not necessarily make it to the end, and ordinary people with bleak fate may not be unable to change their destiny.
There are many people with noble destinies who die early, such as Ye Linyuan in front of him, who could easily strangle this child in the cradle.
"No, this kind of fate should be hidden by some divine secret. How come I can see it?"
Ye Linyuan was suddenly stunned and a hint of doubt appeared on his face.
Although his attainments in divine prediction were profound, it was still difficult for him to see through the fate of such a person. But now he could see through it easily, which seemed a little unreasonable.
"Is it because my soul has mutated since I stepped into the Samsara Platform, or is it because of the magic of soul refining?"
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, but couldn't figure out the reason for a moment.
At this time, the child couldn't help but tilt his head and asked in confusion: "Uncle, what's wrong?"
"Nothing?" Ye Linyuan smiled, then touched the child's head and asked, "What's your name?"
The child thought for a moment, then bit his lip and said, "My name is Ye Xuqiu."
"It is September, the third month of autumn."
Ye Linyuan nodded and couldn't help but smile: "What a nice name. Your aunt Han Qing gave it to you, right?"
The child was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "You know that too?"
"Aunt Hanqing is the best to me."
Ye Linyuan smiled slightly. The kindest person in Yejia Island is Shui Hanqing. The one who likes children the most is Shui Hanqing, and the one who likes to name children after "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" is also Shui Hanqing.
Knowing this, he patted Xiao Xuqiu's head again and said, "Xiao Xuqiu, your aunt Hanqing is the gentlest person in the world, but gentle people are always easily bullied."
"If she is bullied one day, you must remember to pick up the sword and help her get revenge."
"I will."
Xiao Xuqiu clenched his fists, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes.
Ye Linyuan smiled and said, "Come with me. I will teach you how to practice in the future so that you can become stronger."
"You have dual spiritual roots of gold and fire. I think that path is the most suitable for you."
"I just don't know if there will ever be a day when I can bring you back to fight."
"..."
The stars in the sky are turning, and the curtains on earth are falling.
Three years have passed since Ye Qinchu established his foundation.
During these three years, Ye Linyuan taught Xiao Xuqiu the way of cultivation and passed on his Fire Sea Golden Lotus Skill that was so powerful in Chixiazhou of Nanling.
During this period of time, Song Qingming was able to successfully build his foundation and went to Qinghe Island to practice in the second-level spiritual vein.
So far, the Ye family already has five foundation-building masters, Ye Linyuan, Shui Hanqing, Zhou Yuwan, Chu Lingxi, and Ye Qinchu, in addition to two guest officials, Taoist Zi Yu and Song Qingming.
The fact that the Ye family had five foundation-building cultivators caused a bit of a stir in the entire Tianxing Sea at first, but it soon calmed down after they found out the intelligence.
Having five foundation-building stages in one clan may seem amazing, but after all, the Ye family swallowed up the entire Qinghe Islands and obtained hundreds of years of heritage from the Qinghe lineage.
Moreover, two of them were supported by Minghuang Jianzi, and it was not just the Ye family's own achievement, so there was nothing too surprising.
Even Ye Linyuan's own experience on the road to enlightenment was investigated by others.
Although his skill in snatching the opportunity to build the foundation from the mouths of various major foundation-building forces is admirable, one can only admire his methods.
Not to mention, the Ye family seemed to have swallowed up the entire Song family's immortal clan's foundation.
So after repeated calculations, they believed that the Ye family's rise to power had a clear path, and it did not seem like they had obtained any major treasure.
As for the several volumes of superior skills, they cannot be easily delved into. In the entire Tianxing Sea, who doesn't know the strange origins of these superior skills?
But they were not envious at all. Instead, they felt a hint of pity. Many foundation-building cultivators even lamented that they were in the same boat.
This world is so cruel that opportunities will not fall into the hands of low-level cultivators for nothing. In fact, many opportunities are poisonous baits.
"Friend Ye, long time no see."
On this day, a rare guest came to Yejia Island.
The man was wearing a Five Elements Taoist robe. When he saw Ye Linyuan, he smiled and said, "Your lineage is growing stronger. It seems that you are not far from becoming a foundation-building clan."
“Without the late foundation building stage, no matter how many foundation building cultivators there are, they cannot be considered a great clan.”
Ye Linyuan shook his head, then looked at Taoist Wu Yun and asked, "You came to me this time, it seems that the time has come for you to take action."
Taoist Wu Yun nodded, and then said, "That guy is hiding in Black Shark Island. He is now preparing to break through the foundation-building stage. It seems that he will not run away in the short term."
"Black Shark Island?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but frown slightly.
This Black Evil Island is different. It is an island located in the deep sea. The Black Shark Clan here is very powerful. It is said that they have seven foundation-building monsters, including two black sharks in the middle stage of foundation-building.
Knowing this, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but say: "Black Shark Island is quite powerful, it won't be easy to take it down."
"Moreover, the Black Shark Clan has a vicious temperament. They can tolerate the breakthrough of the Five-Colored Black Snail. I'm afraid there must be something fishy going on."
Taoist Wuyun nodded, then smiled strangely and said, "Someone is trying to stop me from becoming a Taoist. And coincidentally, this person is trying to save my life."
"Oh?"
Ye Linyuan was slightly stunned, but soon he seemed to understand.
Taoist Wu Yun nodded, and then said: "My fellow practitioner is an old thief in the early stage of Jindan. He has been secretly planning for a long time, waiting for me to break through the foundation-building stage and then devour me."
"The person who secretly prevented me from breaking through to the late stage of foundation building is most likely a match for this old thief."
At this point, Ye Linyuan nodded and said, "These Jindan cultivators may not really fight to the death in public, but they probably enjoy tripping each other up in secret."
"You blame him today, but if you really break through to the late stage of foundation building in the future, you may need to borrow some strength from him."
"I see."
Taoist Wu Yun nodded, then sneered, "These old Jindan thieves have cultivated more than one fellow practitioner. If I don't make any progress in my cultivation, I will sooner or later become a resource for others."
"It is better to practice hard and reach the late stage of foundation building as soon as possible. Then you may have a chance to fight him."
Ye Linyuan nodded, then sighed and said, "You and I share the same fate. Instead of sitting and waiting to die, we might as well fight hard."
Having said this, the two turned to talking about the Black Shark Island.
The Taoist Wu Yun showed a solemn expression on his face, and he couldn't help but say solemnly: "The Black Shark Island has extraordinary resources. Even with your help, I am not sure I can take it down."
"Why not call another friend?"
Ye Linyuan pondered for a moment, then spoke.
Taoist Wu Yun shook his head, then smiled bitterly and said, "Black Shark Island is located in the deep sea. Ordinary foundation-building cultivators may not dare to go there. Besides, several of my good friends have already been calculated by that person, so they can't spare a hand to help me."
"I do have a candidate."
Ye Linyuan pondered for a moment, then whispered something into Taoist Wuyun's ear.
After listening to this, Taoist Wu Yun couldn't help but said with a slightly changed expression: "Evil thief, this person... can you really trust him?"
"I have something on him."
Ye Linyuan spoke slowly, and then added: "Besides, he needs a large amount of blood essence to impact the late stage of foundation building. The blood of the black shark is probably what he needs urgently."
"I think even if you didn't invite him, he would try to fish in troubled waters after hearing the news."
"I understand."
Taoist Wu Yun stood up and hesitated for a long time before finally saying with a firm look, "Then I will believe you this time."
"Please help me contact one or two people about this matter."
