Chapter 709: The Ye Family's Shock!

Chapter 711: The Ye Family’s Shock!

Ye Chen took a deep breath in and said slowly as he met everyone’s gaze, “I’ve told you guys earlier that ancient martial artists, Spell Masters, and people with supernatural powers all develop the potential of the human body.

For instance, ancient martial artists rely on polishing their qi, vital energy and blood, as well as bones to strengthen themselves. This is an extremely long process.

They also have very strict requirements for cultivators. Normally, they would start cultivating from a young age. This is because once a person reaches a certain age, their bones will become concrete, their vital energy and blood will start to run out. Even so, they still need a good internal energy cultivation method or the guidance of a famous master. It can be said to be extremely difficult.”

Ye Chen said confidently, “Therefore, many ancient martial artists can only achieve the very preliminary part of cultivation throughout their entire lives. If their family is well-off and they have the help of medicinal herbs, they might be able to enter Internal Energy and Illuminating Pulse. Only a portion of them who are talented can break through the shackles of the acquired stage and step into the innate stage.”

“Mr. Ye is right!”

Old Master Gu nodded in agreement and said while forcing a smile, “The path of ancient martial arts is too difficult. I’ve cultivated my whole life but I’ve only reached Internal Energy. Thankfully, I met Mr. Ye and achieved the innate stage.”

At this point, he sighed softly, “An old friend of mine was obsessed with martial arts. He spent his entire life on martial arts, but when he died of old age, he was merely on Illuminating Pulse.”

Hearing what he said, everyone felt that a new door was slowly opened, and they truly understood the cultivation system of ancient martial artists.

“Xiaochen, according to what you said, ancient martial arts requires time, resources, a master, mental cultivation, and so on.”

Ye Hai shook his head and said, “Looks like your mother and I are destined to miss this opportunity!”

“Your dad is right!”

Wu Lan also shook her head, “Your father and I are already in our fifties. Not only have our vital energy and blood depleted, our bodies are also not healthy anymore. We’re not fit for cultivation at all.”

Even Ye Ming and Yang Hui looked disappointed.

“Dad, don’t worry!”

Ye Chen shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, “Didn’t I tell you earlier? My dao is different from ancient martial arts. My cultivation method is not as complicated as ancient martial arts.”

“What’s the difference?”

Everyone looked at him excitedly.

Ye Chen stood with his hands behind his back and said confidently, “Because I’m an Immortal Cultivator, the only Immortal Cultivator on Earth!”

“Immortal Cultivator?”

Everyone looked at each other.

Ye Chen knew that they did not understand. He chuckled softly and said, “The so-called cultivation is to absorb the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth to refine one’s body, refining one’s essence into qi, refining one’s qi into spirit, refining one’s spirit into the void, and then achieve the state of being one with the world and immortality!”

He added, “In fact, there have been people in China who have been pursuing the art of immortality since ancient times. These people are known as energy refinery cultivators. However, the art of cultivating outer core and inner core that they pursue is still difficult to achieve. They are similar to ancient chemists.”

It was Old Master Gu’s turn to be shocked, “Mr. Ye, does that mean that the so-called Immortal Cultivator you mentioned can really cultivate to become an immortal?”

“You can say that!”

Ye Chen nodded and said while smiling, “However, the path of Immortal Cultivator is a hundred times more difficult than ancient martial arts. For ancient martial artists, a year or two might be a long time, but for Immortal Cultivators, not to mention a year or two, even ten or 20 years would happen within a blink of an eye.

However, becoming an immortal is extremely difficult. It’d take tens of thousands of years along the way. As one goes through many trials and tribulations, there’s also the possibility of death at any time.”

“Tens of thousands of years…”

Everyone’s jaws dropped.

According to their belief, a normal person could live to a hundred years old, and the average age was 70 or 80.

Seemingly sensing their disbelief, Ye Chen said, “This is the benefit of being an Immortal Cultivator. It’s normal for low-level cultivators to live for a hundred years. For high-level cultivators, it can be as short as a few hundred years, or as long as a thousand years, or even ten thousand years.”

Everyone looked at each other speechlessly, digesting the shock in their minds.

A moment later, a weak voice was heard, “Mr. Ye, are you saying that we can become Immortal Cultivators like you?”

The person who spoke was Gu Yingying, who had been silent all this while.

As soon as she said that, everyone shifted their gaze onto Ye Chen. They even held their breaths subconsciously.

Ye Chen said calmly, “To become an Immortal Cultivator, one needs to have the potential to become one. To put it simply, it all depends on the spiritual root. Only those with a spiritual root can sense the spiritual energy in the world.

The spiritual root is categorized according to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, as well as the variant attributes of wind, thunder, and ice. In other words, the spiritual root contains one attribute, or even multiple attributes.”

Ye Chen explained to everyone carefully, “Among them, the spiritual root with a single attribute is known as the heaven spiritual root. It has the best cultivation aptitude and the fastest cultivation speed. Meanwhile, the spiritual root with two attributes is the earth spiritual root. Those with more than three attributes are mixed spiritual roots. Their cultivation aptitude is relatively poor and their cultivation speed is also slow…”

After hearing his explanation, everyone had a rough idea of cultivation. Gu Yingying could not help but ask, “Mr. Ye, do you think I have a spiritual root?”

She sounded nervous.

“You do!”

Ye Chen sensed it and said with a faint smile, “You have a metal and water spiritual root. Your aptitude is pretty good. It’s suitable for cultivating metal and fire cultivation techniques.”

Gu Yingying was thrilled, “That’s great!”

Ye Wen looked at him expectantly, “Brother, what about me?”

Ye Chen said, “You have a three attributes spiritual root-wood, earth, and water. Your aptitude is relatively lower.”

Ye Wen was not disappointed when she heard that. Perhaps from her point of view, she would be happy even if she had the worst cultivation aptitude of five attributes spiritual root, let alone three attributes spiritual root.

At this moment, even Ye Hai could not help but ask, “Xiaochen, what spiritual roots do we have?”

Old Master Gu, Ye Ming, and the rest looked at him as well.

Ye Chen’s expression turned gloomy. He sighed softly and said, “Dad, Mom, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Old Master Gu, among the few of you, only Shaokun has the potential for cultivation. Not only that, he has a four attributes spiritual root.”

He had checked his parents and second uncle’s aptitude long ago. Unfortunately, the two brothers did not have the aptitude for cultivation. He had no idea why he and Ye Wen had it when it came to their generation.

This was the only thing that disappointed him.

When Ye Ming and the rest heard that, they could not help but feel disappointed. They shook their heads and said, “Looks like we can’t step onto the path of cultivation!”

Ye Hai, on the other hand, was more open-minded, “It’s fine. As long as Xiaochen, Wenwen and the rest can do it, it’s fine. We’re all old. Even if we have spiritual roots, we won’t have much achievements!”

“Dad, Second Uncle, you don’t have to be so pessimistic!”

Ye Chen said slowly, “Although the spiritual root is something that’s innate, it doesn’t mean that it can’t be created after birth. It’s just a little troublesome, that’s all. Coincidentally, that’s the thing I want to tell you guys about!”
