“Lou girl, our Ye Clan’s Ancestors want to see you.”
Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Lou Mu Yan’s expression didn’t change. She nodded with a light smile: “Then I will trouble Uncle Ye.”
Ye Chen brought her to a hidden courtyard and teleported using a Teleportation Array in a secret room.
Lou Mu Yan was a little curious about the secret area of the Ye Clan. They actually needed to use a Teleportation Array. If it wasn’t because it was too far away, then it was too secretive.
Ye Chen placed two Spiritual Stones on the Teleportation Array and as soon as the Teleportation Array lit up, the two disappeared in the secret room.
When Lou Mu Yan walked out of the Teleportation Array, she found a stream of Spiritual Force waft into her nostrils. This was the place with the densest Spiritual Force she had ever seen here.
“There’s still a way to go, let’s walk over.” Ye Chen saw that Lou Mu Yan’s eyes were still indifferent. He revealed an amiable smile on his face, and he thought higher of her.
Lou Mu Yan just happened to want to inquire about something from Ye Chen, “Alright.
“By the way, what kind of Spar was that rock that Uncle Ye place in the Teleportation Array?”
She had always suspected that there were Spiritual Stones on Tian’ling Continent, but she had never seen it before. Just now, when she saw Ye Chen use two Low-Quality Spiritual Stones to activate the Teleportation Array, she was able to guess that Spiritual Stones were probably only used between high-level powerhouses or Distinguished Clans as currencies of transaction.
“That’s a Spiritual Stone which is necessary to activate the Teleportation Array.” Ye Chen said with a smile: “The Spiritual Stones contained Spiritual Energy, which can not only be used for teleportation and forming Arrays, but it could also be used to absorb by oneself and is a currency for transactions.
“The only people who have Spiritual Stones in Yan’zhou Kingdom are those in the Imperial Family, and they’re mostly used for teleportation. It’s normal that you haven’t seen them before.”
“So that’s how it is. Then is it that the currency used for transactions between high-level powerhouses also Spiritual Stones? Crystal Card is useless.” Lou Mu Yan asked with a smile.
Ye Chen’s eyes were filled with admiration. This girl was indeed bright. She only just heard that Spiritual Stones were a trading currency and already thought that it was used among high-level powerhouses.
“Indeed. The powerhouses above Sword Sovereign basically don’t use Crystal Cards to trade. If they don’t trade item for item, then they exchanged things with Spiritual Stones. If you see such Spiritual Stones in the future, remember to collect them. It’s very useful.” Ye Chen thought a bit, then took out a Low-Quality Spiritual Stone and handed it to Lou Mu Yan.
Lou Mu Yan took it and felt that the Spiritual Force contained within was similar to that of the Immortal Cultivation World. She returned it with a smile: “Thank you Uncle Ye for reminding me, I’ve remembered.”
Ye Chen didn’t take it, “I’ll gift this Spiritual Stone to you. It’ll be good for you to compare with in the future.”
Lou Mu Yan wasn’t quarrelsome either, so she accepted the Spiritual Stone and thanked again. She could see that the Spiritual Stone was also a very precious thing in the Ye Clan.
“By the way, the Spiritual Stone has the five attributes of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. The colour is also similar to the attribute. For example, the red Spiritual Stone given to you just now has the fire attribute.” Ye Chen reminded.
“Mm.”
The two walked and chatted, and after a while, they arrived at a quite woods. Following the woods upwards, Lou Mu Yan saw a small lake in the distance, and the lake was filled with a layer of mist.
There was a hint of surprise in Lou Mu Yan’s eyes. This Ye Clan was truly worthy of being ranked third in the Ten Distinguished Clans, and also as the most mysterious Clan. There was even a lake that was formed from a Spiritual Spring’s mouth of a spring.
Following a small bridge, the two walked to the innermost bamboo house in the centre of the lake.
“Ancestor, I have brought the Lou Clan’s little girl.” Ye Chen said respectfully while standing outside the bamboo house.
The door of the bamboo house opened automatically after he said it, “Come in.”
Lou Mu Yan followed Ye Chen into the wooden house and saw an elderly male and elderly female sitting on the side.
“This Junior greets two Seniors.” Lou Mu Yan performed a greeting of juniors.
The elderly woman sitting cross-legged on the right slowly opened her eyes and glanced at her quietly.
Lou Mu Yan felt an oncoming pressure from the elderly woman, but there was no killing aura nor any suppression, only a test.
She mobilised her entire body’s Spiritual Energy, smiling faintly and not moving a single bit.
“Oh?” The elderly woman whispered—this little girl with the strength of a Sword King indeed had some ability. Although her pressure didn’t have any suppressive killing intent, but it wasn’t something that any ordinary Sword Master could resist without feeling flustered.
“Lou Clan’s little girl, sit.” The white-bearded elderly man who sat on the left revealed a slight smile.
Lou Mu Yan wasn’t restrained either. She saw that there were indeed a few wooden chairs next to the two of them in the wooden house, so she found one at random to sit down on.
Ye Chen’s eyes showed some satisfaction, and he also picked a chair and sat down.
This little girl’s manner was indeed rare—she wasn’t startled by great waves, and was calm and collected as ever. If she really became his daughter-in-law in the future, that wasn’t that bad.
“Lou girl, I heard that Qing Le’s poison has been cured by you for the most part?” The elderly man who sat above said.
Lou Mu Yan answered truthfully: “It’s true that most of the poison has been removed, and it could be completely removed in another half a month.”
“It is truly rare for one to have such medical skills at such a young age. The Lou Clan is fortunate.”
“Senior praises with exaggeration.” Lou Mu Yan smiled modestly.
Lou Mu Yan quietly waited for what the elderly man wanted to say next with a faint smile. She knew that the two Ancestors of the Ye Clan definitely didn’t meet her today for Ye Qing Le’s situation.
“Not arrogant nor impetuous, a good temperament.” The elderly woman who hadn’t spoken suddenly said with a hint of liking in her tone.
The white-bearded old man nodded in agreement and no longer kept her guessing, smiling as he said: “Lou girl, this old man won’t go around in circles anymore with you. Do you still have Marrow Cleansing Pills?”
Lou Mu Yan’s eyes were light, but she thought ‘as expected’ inwardly, ‘Yes.”
“I wonder if you can sell a few to our Ye Clan?” The white-bearded elderly man asked.
Whether the efficacy of the Marrow Cleansing Pill was as miraculous as in the legends, they naturally knew best. After all, Ye Qing Han’s meridians had been more than doubled by the Marrow Cleansing Pill. Using this kind of pill to raise several talented juniors was definitely a significant matter for the Ye Clan.
The strength of each Clan was actually not about how big it was and how rich its assets were. The key point actually depended on the number of high-level powerhouses. If the Clan was big and had a big business but there were no high-level powerhouses, then they’d inevitably embark on the road of elimination.
“Although I don’t have many Marrow Cleansing Pills on hand right now, but I’m on friendly terms with Qing Han and Qing Le. I can take out three to trade to the Ye Clan.” Lou Mu Yan thought a bit and said.
The two Ancestors glanced at each other and sighed that this girl indeed knew how to be a good person. She previously gave Ye Qing Han and Ye Qing Le a Marrow Cleansing Pill each and didn’t ask for any benefits. Now she took out three more again. They couldn’t help but be moved.
After the last application of acupuncture, Lou Mu Yan gave Ye Qing Le a Marrow Cleansing Pill to wash the marrow and cleanse the body. The superiors of the Clan all knew about this and were shocked by her generosity. Only after guessing that she didn’t just have one Marrow Cleansing Pill left, did the Ye Clan’s Ancestors open their mouth, wanting to exchange for a few.
“Little girl is very straightforward, so our Ye Clan naturally can’t let you suffer. Do you want to exchange purple-gold coins, or do you want to exchange using items?” The white-bearded old man touched his beard and looked loving.
Lou Mu Yan had long guessed the purpose of why the Ye Clan’s Ancestors sought for her. She originally had an exchange list thought of, but now she had changed her mind.
“Senior, This Junior likes to study Arrays and heard that many high-level Arrays required Spiritual Stones to complete. I wonder if I can request for Spiritual Stones in exchange for my Marrow Cleansing Pills?” Lou Mu Yan appeared as if young and unexperienced, asking with a little embarrassment.
“…” Ye Chen couldn’t resist twitching the corners of his lips. It seemed that the person who told her of this was himself, right? Was this himself cheating himself?
This girl really didn’t let herself suffer any losses—learning and applying it pragmatically, no losses at all. After all, Spiritual Stones were rare.
