Chapter 221: The Lesser Yin-Yang Reversal Formation; Success!
"What you are saying is a matter of the Ye family... As an outsider, I should not interfere... If Ye Cangliu truly disregards kinship... you should make plans now, instead of asking me to come out of seclusion here... In the cultivation world, the strong are respected, you should do your best to cultivate your descendants. If you can produce a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the matter will be easily resolved."
Yang Jiuli said.
He naturally didn't want to get involved in the Ye family's affairs.
Today, Ye Cangliu is suppressing his relatives.
Next time, if a different person, Ye Changliu, becomes the clan leader, it's inevitable that the same mistakes will be repeated.
If he has to handle everything himself, where will he find the time to go into seclusion and cultivate?
This is why many cultivators, after establishing a family, are often bound by trivial matters and find it difficult to make further progress.
Therefore, Yang Jiuli did not have any intention of actively building up his power.
Spending time on cultivation is obviously more direct.
As for connections...
If one's strength is sufficient, one will naturally have a full house of guests, and friends from all corners of the world.
"This..." Upon hearing this, Ye Rui, Ye Hong, and the others exchanged bewildered glances.
"The clan chief once said... you can depose and install a new emperor..." Ye Xiaogui still wanted to persuade him.
"Family matters are difficult to resolve. If there is an invasion from outside, I, Yang, may be able to offer assistance. As for the Ye family's affairs, I ask that you resolve them yourselves." Yang Jiuli's tone was indifferent. He picked up his teacup but did not drink it, which was clearly a gesture to see the guests out.
Upon seeing this, Ye Xiaogui sighed.
"Sigh!" Ye Rui and Ye Hong also sighed quickly.
"In that case, farewell!" Finally, Ye Xiaogui shook his head, his face full of bitterness, and bowed to take his leave.
Yang Jiuli did not see him off.
The group flew away.
When they reached the edge of the formation, both Ye Mingxuan and Ye Chenxuan turned back unwillingly.
"Grandpa, the Ancestor gifted 'Lingxi Peak' to Alchemist Yang... but he's just sitting idly by, not caring about the lives of my Ye family disciples. Isn't that going too far?" Ye Mingxuan said indignantly, even though he was quite wary of Yang Jiuli.
But now that his own business has been seized and he sees no more good days ahead, he really can't swallow his anger.
"Yes! Could it be that he's afraid of Ye Cangliu? After all, the Zhang family is a Foundation Establishment clan... This Alchemist Yang is only at the Qi Refining stage!" Ye Chenxuan chimed in. Otherwise, why would Alchemist Yang ignore this matter?
"Alas, in the cultivation world, the strong prey on the weak. Who will stand up for us commoners?" Ye Rui sighed.
"Let's go! Don't say anything more, lest we get ourselves into trouble."
With a sigh, he rode the wind and departed.
The two young men also left.
Ye Xijia then rode the wind to the mountaintop to meet Ye Xiyu.
At the mountaintop.
The clouds and mist swayed.
A maple tree stands in the courtyard, its branches swaying, and leaves occasionally flutter down.
Ye Xiyu sat down in the pavilion and poured a cup of tea for Ye Xijia.
"Sister Xiyu, have you sought help from Master Yang regarding the equity of Danpu?" Ye Xijia asked after taking a sip of tea.
"I'm going!" Ye Xiyu said.
Her voice was ethereal and graceful.
"What did Master Yang say?" Ye Xijia's eyes lit up.
"Master Yang told me to sell my shares and improve myself first!" Ye Xiyu said.
"You're asking me to sell my shares?" Ye Xijia frowned upon hearing this.
"Could it be that Master Yang is truly afraid of the Zhang family behind Ye Cangliu?" she wondered to herself.
She knew that Ye Chongli had given Lingxi Peak to Master Yang for Ye Xiyu's sake.
But is that all there is to it?
"What, you also went to see Master Yang?" Ye Xiyu said calmly.
"Yes!" Ye Xijia nodded. "He said we should handle this ourselves."
"What can we do?" she asked, her voice tinged with complaint.
"Xi Yu, what are you planning to do?" Ye Xijia asked.
"Naturally, we'll listen to Master Yang and sell these shares," Ye Xiyu said.
"What! That's the most profitable business of the Ye family... You own 40% of it. With that profit, you could easily break through to the second-tier alchemist level, and even acquiring foundation-building spiritual materials wouldn't be impossible. If you sell it, you'll have no guarantee left!"
Ye Xijia asked in surprise.
"Without strength, current wealth will only bring trouble. Giving it up now may not be a bad thing."
Ye Xiyu said.
By this time, she had already figured it out.
As Master Yang Dan said, strength is paramount.
She even speculated that Yang Danshi's decision to withdraw from worldly affairs after joining the Ye family was solely to improve his strength.
As for the exact reason, that remains unknown!
"Sigh..." Ye Xijia sighed.
She also wanted Ye Xiyu to ask Master Yang for help.
Ye Xiyu refused.
After several fruitless attempts, Ye Xijia took her leave.
"I never expected that this Master Yang would not only be a coward, but also a traitor... He doesn't even care about Xi Yu's affairs!" After flying away from 'Lingxi Peak', Ye Xijia looked back and thought to herself, "The old patriarch is really old and senile, choosing such a person to protect my Ye clan... I think it won't be long before the Ye clan falls apart and never shines again."
……
three days later.
Ye Xiyu came to inform me.
She has transferred all her shares in Danpu to Ye Cangliu and received six thousand low-grade spirit stones in return.
Yang Jiuli nodded slightly, quite pleased that the woman was willing to listen to him.
Otherwise, if something goes wrong, he'll probably be the one to clean up the mess.
Afterwards, Yang Jiuli opened the furnace to refine a second-tier "Soul-Stabilizing Pill" for Ye Xiyu to observe in person, which was also a way to comfort the girl.
Ye Xiyu was delighted and watched carefully from the side.
Only after Yang Jiuli finished refining the pill did he ask about some of the details he didn't understand.
Yang Jiuli provided a detailed explanation.
Ye Xiyu suddenly understood.
nightfall.
"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Yang. I will certainly live up to your expectations!" Ye Xiyu bowed and took her leave.
"Go!" Yang Jiuli said.
"External things are all fleeting; improving your strength is the only way forward. I will be going into seclusion soon, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you. During this time, try not to go out!" he reminded him. After that, he decided to go into seclusion to refine the "Minor Yin-Yang Reversal Array Flag".
"I will certainly follow your teachings, sir!" Ye Xiyu said.
Yang Jiuli nodded slightly.
Then, Ye Xiyu flew away on a colorful ribbon.
……
After that, Yang Jiuli began to go into seclusion to refine the "Minor Yin-Yang Inverted Array Flag".
It has four sides in total, and not only do it need to be engraved with runes, but also with special array patterns.
Those Dao patterns correspond to Yin and Yang.
Every stroke must be made in one go, without any mistakes, otherwise it will be difficult to draw upon the energy of heaven and earth to form a formation.
……
In a living room at Lingxiu Peak.
Ye Cangliu sat in the main seat.
Ye Yifan is in the first position.
"Heh, we've finally managed to take over the pill shop. Those guys actually dared to resist and refuse to sell their shares?"
"Look... we injected spirit stones and pills into the Zhang family... giving them 40% of the shares... directly diluting the shares of the other branches... Now we have complete control over the Ye family's business!"
Ye Yifan took a sip of wine and said with considerable satisfaction.
"Just a bunch of old fogies, do you really think I can't handle them!" Ye Cangliu said smugly.
"Dad, shouldn't we make our move over there next?" Ye Yifan asked mysteriously.
"Don't rush..." Ye Cangliu said.
"How much longer do we have to wait? We gave that girl Ye Xiyu six thousand low-grade spirit stones... six thousand! What if she spends them?" Ye Yifan said, feeling a pang of heartache at the thought of those six thousand low-grade spirit stones. Unfortunately, this girl had been staying at Lingxi Peak for the past six months, and even the transfer contract was signed there, leaving them with no way to proceed.
"When the time is right, someone will make a move!" Ye Cangliu said.
"The time is ripe..." Ye Yifan frowned.
……
Cultivating immortality transcends the passage of time.
Unbeknownst to him, Yang Jiuli had been in seclusion for over a year and a half refining the "Minor Yin-Yang Inverted Array Flag".
Nine years have passed since he joined the Ye family in Nanling.
On this day, the first day of the eighth lunar month, in the cave at Lingxi Peak.
On the cave walls, gems shimmered with bright light, making the cave as bright as day.
On Yang Jiuli's desk was a battle array plate and four battle array flags.
With a flick of his hand, the four array flags flashed and flew into the four holes on the array plate, standing in the four directions respectively.
The battle flags were placed on the plate.
Instantly, yin and yang patterns flowed on the array plate, evolving into a small halo that rose up and enveloped the array plate, transforming into a small prototype of an array. As long as Yang Jiuli recited the incantation, the array could be fully activated in an instant.
However, when the Yin and Yang energies flowed, it seemed to cause the space inside the sphere of light to become disordered.
It contains a mysterious and profound power of heaven and earth.
This "Minor Yin-Yang Reversal Formation" was obtained by Yang Jiuli in his previous life from ancient ruins.
Very few people in this world can control it.
"The formation is flawless. Now that Zhixue has found the 'Heart of Green Wood,' I can focus on my foundation building!"
Seeing that the formation was functioning perfectly, Yang Jiuli breathed a sigh of relief.
After years of planning, we are finally close to success.
Now all that's left is to wait for "Heart of Aoki"!
As he whispered, Yang Jiuli moved his hand and took the "Minor Yin-Yang Reversal Formation" into his palm.
Then, he left the cave.
With a hand gesture, the four array flags of the Small Yin-Yang Reversal Array whistled and settled in the four directions of the courtyard.
In this way, he only needs to activate the array plate to activate the 'Minor Yin-Yang Reversal Array' to protect the entire courtyard and even 'Lingxi Peak'.
After doing all this, Yang Jiuli brewed a pot of wine and summoned two tiger sables and Xiao Bing to leisurely enjoy the wine in the courtyard.
Nine years have passed.
The two tiger weasels have become much stronger.
However, he has not yet reached the mid-stage of the second tier.
Xiao Bing would go to the quasi-third-tier Cold Vein to absorb the Cold Qi, and its strength improved considerably.
It has now reached the peak of the early stage of the second tier.
He was only one step away from reaching the mid-stage of the second tier.
"The 'Mysterious Netherworld' will open in two years..." Yang Jiuli sipped his wine and looked out at the sky outside the courtyard.
"It's time to find some time to return those near-third-tier talismans and 'talisman treasures' to Zhixue!"
"Besides that, we should also pass on several soul-binding techniques to her!" Yang Jiuli whispered.
The "Heart of Green Wood" is related to Yang Jiuli's future path, and he dares not be careless in the slightest.
Yang Jiuli wrote a letter to Qin Zhixue, asking if she could come to Nanling soon.
Of course, if you are going to come, you should be careful and it would be best to have a Core Formation Realm cultivator as your protector.
The letter was mailed the following day.
On the day it was sent, at dusk, Yang Jiuli, who was enjoying wine, suddenly frowned.
"Did someone intercept the letter?" Yang Jiuli whispered.
