It had been a long time since Ye Tianhe st saw his son, and he missed him dearly.

  He asked about everything for quite a while.

  After chatting for a bit longer, Ye Tianhe finally decided to leave.

  Ye Tianhe was at the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining, making him the second most powerful in the Ye family, only after the family head.

  The cultivation world was not a stable pce.

  Thus, Ye Tianhe was responsible for transporting the family's internal resources.

  The Ye family had been developing for many years, and their family business was doing well.

  They had seven or eight shops simir to the One Leaf Pill Shop.

  They even had a shop in Qingyun City.

  So Ye Tianhe was very busy.

  Today, he came to take away the Silver Moon Grass that the shop had acquired recently.

  "Xiao Chen, focus on your cultivation and alchemy..."

  "I'll work hard during this period too, to contribute more to the family."

  "The family head has a high chance of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and he has already acquired a Foundation Establishment Pill through his connections from back in the day."

  "If he succeeds, I'll definitely secure a spot for you in the Qingyun Sect..."

  "And once you're in the Qingyun Sect, with my support from outside, you'll have an easier time obtaining a Foundation Establishment Pill..."

  "If you can break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in this lifetime, I can rest easy."

  Before leaving, Ye Tianhe encouraged him with a sigh.

  Ye Chen listened, feeling quite emotional.

  No matter the world, fathers were always like this.

  Always thinking wholeheartedly about their children.

  But aside from feeling touched, Ye Chen began to ponder the issue of the Qingyun Sect spot.

  He wondered if the spot to enter the Qingyun Sect could be given to someone else!

  If it could be given away...

  What would the tenfold reward be?

  Ten spots?

  Or perhaps a spot in an even more prestigious sect?

  Ye Chen was particurly curious about this.

  If it could be given away, Ye Chen would definitely try.

  He wasn't worried about securing a spot for himself.

  After all, his father was the second strongest in the family.

  And once he showcased his alchemy skills to the outside world, who in the family could deny him a spot in the Qingyun Sect?

  Ye Chen was clearly looking forward to entering the Qingyun Sect.

  After all, Sun Ye was just an outer disciple back then.

  Yet his daughter, Sun Ruoxin, had a feedback multiplier of fifteen times.

  In the Qingyun Sect, there were bound to be more female cultivators with high feedback multipliers.

  Not to mention, many resources that couldn't be bought with money outside were monopolized by the sect.

  Only by joining the sect could one enjoy them.

  So joining a sect was undoubtedly the right path.

  After all, the higher the ptform, the more promising personal development would be.

  ...

  After advising Ye Chen to cultivate well, Lin Tianhe left in a good mood to chat with Steward Zhang for a bit before hurrying off.

  He felt that his son was more motivated than before.

  This was a good thing.

  It gave him even more motivation to strive.

  As long as his son entered the Qingyun Sect, his future would be limitless.

  But once in the sect, standing out would require significant expenses.

  So he had to save up spirit stones for his son.

  The magic artifact he left for his son, his son would surely refine it well.

  With this artifact, he could feel assured about his son's safety.

  After sending off Ye Tianhe, Ye Chen returned to his room and picked up the Clear Breeze Sword, feeling quite pleased.

  Magic artifacts were weapons used during the Qi Refining stage.

  They were divided into high, medium, and low grades.

  Of course, there was also the concept of supreme grade, but it was extremely rare.

  Even a low-grade magic artifact cost thirty to forty low-grade spirit stones.

  A medium-grade magic artifact would cost about one medium-grade spirit stone.

  High-grade magic artifacts were even more expensive, starting at least three medium-grade spirit stones.

  High-grade magic artifacts were pricier because they used better materials and could carry more formations.

  For example, the Clear Breeze Sword.

  Besides being extremely sharp, it came with a wind elemental magic that could unleash dozens of wind bdes to attack enemies.

  Each wind bde was equivalent to the power of a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator's magic.

  Moreover, it didn't consume extra mana.

  After use, the Clear Breeze Sword could automatically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, recovering in three days.

  This was incredibly effective in battle.

  Such an artifact was definitely worth four or five medium-grade spirit stones.

  His body's father was truly willing to spend money on his son.

  Pying with the Clear Breeze Sword, Ye Chen had no intention of refining it.

  The Clear Breeze Sword was so good, it was meant to be given away.

  The tenfold return, who knew what surprise it might bring him.

  Moreover, with such a valuable artifact, it was bound to trigger a critical hit.

  Perfect!

  Ye Chen was almost impatient.

  Lu Jing had a day off every week, and today happened to be her day off.

  Ye Chen wrapped the artifact in cloth and headed straight to Lu Jing's house.

  As for whether it was inappropriate to give away an artifact he had just received...

  What a joke, how could it be inappropriate?

  If his father knew he had a system, he would definitely urge him to give it away.

  Tenfold feedback, only a fool would refuse.

  In the cultivation world, the saying "when one person attains the Dao, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven" was never just a legend.

  It's said that a nostalgic rogue cultivator got lucky and formed a Golden Elixir, becoming an elder in a major sect.

  He brought everyone in his vilge with spiritual roots into the sect.

  He even brought the vilge's gatekeeper dog.

  It's said that the dog, with the sect's rich spiritual energy and the occasional spiritual pills from the Golden Elixir elder, eventually gained intelligence and became a spirit beast.

  With the tenfold return, once he soared, he could definitely bring his father along.

  At that time, he would definitely get a few Foundation Establishment Pills for his father.

  If he made a name for himself in the Qingyun Sect, he could even get his father a position within the sect.

  Wouldn't that be better than staying in the Ye family?

  In the future, he might even become a Golden Elixir Ancestor.

  So Ye Chen had no psychological pressure about giving away the flying sword his father gave him.

  How was this being a lick spirit?

  This was clearly an investment!

  ...

  Lin Ke'er finished her cultivation.

  Feeling somewhat unhappy, she walked out of her room and looked up at the sky.

  As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she could smell the aroma of braised meat.

  It was clear that Lu Jing was braising meat again.

  Who it was for was self-evident.

  Thinking of the humiliation of being rejected that day, Lin Ke'er's mood worsened.

  Being rejected by Ye Chen for a meal was the greatest humiliation.

  Lin Ke'er had decided to give up on Ye Chen.

  As long as she worked hard, her future achievements would surely surpass Ye Chen's.

  And Ye Chen?

  Although he was a Qi Refining family disciple, he only had eyes for women, giving all his resources to them.

  He was destined to be a useless person with no future.

  Besides, how long could Ye Chen keep giving gifts?

  The spells and storage bags he gave before were probably just for show.

  One day, when she broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, she would definitely visit the Ye family.

  When Ye Chen saw her, he would have to greet her as his Foundation Establishment senior.

  At that time, she would thoroughly enjoy Ye Chen's regretful expression.

  Thinking of this, Lin Ke'er felt much better.

  But at that moment, the courtyard gate was knocked on: "Fairy Lu, are you there?"

  It was Ye Chen's voice.

  Lin Ke'er's face immediately darkened.

  The damn lick spirit was here to fawn over Lu Jing again.

  Thinking of how Ye Chen used to only fawn over her, but now was doing it in front of her for someone else, Lin Ke'er couldn't help but feel a bit sour.

  Lu Jing, who was inside, clearly heard and hurried out. Seeing Lin Ke'er in the courtyard, she smiled at her.

  Then she gracefully walked to the door to open it for Ye Chen.

  "Why did you come suddenly, Fellow Daoist Ye? But I'm just braising meat, and knowing you love spicy food, I added Bright Pepper this time..."

  "Bright Pepper is a type of spiritual herb, spicy yet particurly nourishing. You should try it!"

  Seeing Ye Chen, Lu Jing spoke warmly.

  She even took Ye Chen's arm and led him inside.

  They were already so close, this level of intimacy was nothing.

  It was a good opportunity for Lin Ke'er to see.

  At this moment, Ye Chen also noticed Lin Ke'er in the courtyard, coldly watching him.

  Even better.

  "Fairy Lu, I won't be staying for a meal. I came today to give you something!"

  Ye Chen stopped and spoke.

  Hearing this, Lu Jing's smile grew even wider, and she gnced at Lin Ke'er without a word: "Then let's talk in my room!"

  Ye Chen shook his head.

  He wanted Lin Ke'er to see.

  Otherwise, how could he pique Lin Ke'er's interest?

  "I have other matters, let's do it here!"

  With that, Ye Chen pced the wrapped bundle on the ground.

  Lu Jing was quite curious about today's gift.

  What could it be?

  Meanwhile, Lin Ke'er was full of disdain.

  Ye Chen had given Lu Jing a storage bag but hadn't bought one for himself.

  He still had to carry things on his back.

  Clearly, he was running out of spirit stones.

  Lin Ke'er wanted to see what else Ye Chen could give besides pills.

  But when the bundle was opened, revealing a cyan sword covered in cloud patterns, glinting in the sunlight, Lin Ke'er's pupils contracted.

  A magic artifact?

  Lin Ke'er bit her lip.

  A magic artifact, even a low-grade one, was worth thirty to forty low-grade spirit stones.

  These things should have been hers!

  But Lin Ke'er quickly snapped back to reality, telling herself.

  So what if it's a low-grade magic artifact?

  She could buy a magic artifact herself after two trips to the mountains.

  She didn't need Ye Chen to give her one.

  In the future, she would buy even more expensive ones.

  Buy medium-grade magic artifacts.

  In short, Lin Ke'er tried to console herself with these thoughts, so she wouldn't feel so bitter.

  But the next moment, when Ye Chen introduced the artifact, Lin Ke'er's expression completely fell apart.

  "This is a high-grade magic artifact, the Clear Breeze Sword, with a Wind Bde Technique equivalent to the power of a mid-stage Qi Refining spell..."

  "It swings without wind resistance, exceptionally light and incredibly sharp."

  "Most importantly, after the spell is used, it automatically recharges."

  "I haven't refined this artifact yet, Fairy Lu, you should refine it ter!"

  A high-grade magic artifact?

  A high-grade magic artifact with its own spell?

  Lin Ke'er's expression completely crumbled at this moment.
