[You handed the Profound Grade High Rank martial skill Great Compassion Palm, obtained in the secret realm, to Jiang Changtian for copying, leaving one copy in the Snow Mountain Sect. From then on, True Disciples of the Snow Mountain Sect could learn it by spending contribution points. Your status in the Snow Mountain Sect rose, and you received a large amount of sect contribution. At the same time, because the Great Compassion Palm was different from Thousand Mountain Snow and was your personal gain, after recording the martial skill, you gave the original to your father Ye Changming to bring back to the Ye Family.]
[That same year, you consumed the High-grade Earth Grade Nirvana Treasure Pill. Your Bone Structure rose from Mysterious Grade Middle Rank to Earth Grade Low-Rank. You consumed the Earth Origin Treasure Pill, and your realm broke through to the early Earth Origin Realm. Although you could no longer enter the Small Blessed Land after breaking through to the Earth Origin Realm, with the boost from the inheritance and your Earth Grade Low-Rank Bone Structure, you were confident that your cultivation speed would only be faster than before.]
[In the thirty-third year, your martial skill Great Compassion Palm reached Initial Mastery, and your children were married that year.]
[In the thirty-fourth year, your wife Jiang Wen gave birth to your third child. This child was blessed by the Nine Dragon Pill, and his birth was accompanied by auspicious celestial phenomena. On the day of his birth, Five-Colored Radiance surrounded him. Your youngest son's Bone Structure reached Earth Grade Middle Rank, and his Special Physique could not be identified. You named your youngest son Ye Chen.]
[That same year, because your strength was no weaker than the Heavenly Origin Realm, you plundered several ordinary secret realms near Yicheng City that you could easily handle, obtaining a decent amount of resources.]
[In the thirty-fifth year, you comprehended the Great Achievement Thousand Mountain Blade Intent. Your Profound Grade Low Rank martial skill Thousand Mountain Snow reached Peak Attainment. Your Profound Grade High Rank martial skill Great Compassion Palm reached Initial Proficiency. You painted your first Yellow Grade High Rank painting. You left the Hundred Generations Jade Slip of Thousand Mountain Snow in the Snow Mountain Sect, earning a batch of sect contribution and further elevating your status in the sect.]
[That same year, your grandson was born. Your child named him Ye Chen. His Bone Structure was tested as Mysterious Grade Middle Rank, with no Special Physique or talent. At the same time, your wife Jiang Wen became the current sect leader of the Snow Mountain Sect. Because of you, many Direct Lineage disciples of the Ye Family also joined the Snow Mountain Sect. Your eldest son Ye Ping'an, having been raised since childhood by his grandfather Ye Changming, had deeper feelings for the Ye Family—this was intentional on your part. With his Mysterious Grade High Rank Bone Structure, he was already being groomed as the next family head of the Ye Family. Your daughters, on the other hand, spent most of their time in the Snow Mountain Sect, staying longer with your great-grandmother-in-law Liu Rusi, and thus grew closer to her.]
[In the thirty-sixth year, a bandit infestation arose in the Pingcheng area, slaughtering several small towns. The forces of Pingcheng made every effort to hunt them down.]
[In the thirty-seventh year, the bandit leader was killed. Many of the remaining bandits escaped, scattering in various directions.]
[In the thirty-eighth year, your realm advanced to the mid Earth Origin Realm, and your Great Compassion Palm reached the Initial Proficiency stage.]
[That same year, the bandits who fled toward Yicheng City were completely wiped out the moment they entered Yicheng territory by personnel stationed by the City Lord's Mansion, the renowned Liu Family, and the Snow Mountain Sect—not a single one escaped.]
[In the thirty-ninth year, Jiang Changtian brought a white-haired old man to your residence. You were quite surprised to see this old man, because martial artists, unless they were in the last few years before their lifespan ran out, could usually keep their bodies in good condition. Unless they had suffered irreversible damage or done it intentionally, most high-realm martial artists did not have white hair.]
[Jiang Changtian told you that the old man came from the only holy land in Jiang State, the Blazing Sun Holy Land. The Blazing Sun Holy Land was located in the Jiang State capital and was the power behind the Jiang Clan, founded by the First Generation Ancestor of the Jiang Clan. This time, he had come to Yicheng to recruit disciples. Their recruitment requirements were extremely strict: only those with Earth Grade Bone Structure or a Special Physique were eligible.]
[This was the first time you had heard that a Special Physique could actually be detected. Hearing your question, the old man explained. In the entire Jiang State, only the Blazing Sun Holy Land had a Sacred Artifact for testing physiques, so it was normal that you had never heard of it. There were tens of thousands of Special Physiques. Depending on the strength of the physique, the light emitted during testing varied in intensity. According to Ancient Records, the Divine Artifacts used by the gods of antiquity could even detect Divine Bodies. When their artifacts tested a physique, the colors displayed, from low to high, were gray, green, blue, orange, pink, white, and red.]
[A gray result meant the person was an Ordinary Person. Green meant they had a Special Physique. All physiques detected so far in Jiang State were basically this color. Blue had only appeared seven times in history. As for higher-level physiques, this Sacred Artifact of the Blazing Sun Holy Land could not detect them—perhaps the Sky Flame Empire had the means to test for them.]
[People with Special Physiques were inherently different. The easiest way to distinguish them was a cultivation speed that didn't match their Bone Structure. The Blazing Sun Holy Land sent people every hundred years to various parts of Jiang State to search, hoping to recruit talented individuals to join the holy land. The white-haired old man was one of the people assigned by the Blazing Sun Holy Land this time.]
["Hello, Ye Feng. I am the walking recruiter for this holy land's disciple selection in Jingzhou and Yangzhou. I came to Yicheng this time to take anyone here with abnormal cultivation aptitude to the holy land for testing. Through my investigation, you are the only one in all of Yicheng who meets this condition. I would like to know if you are interested in joining our holy land and willing to go for testing?" After speaking, the old man looked at you, waiting for your reply.]
[You thought about the old man's words for a moment, but ultimately decided to refuse him. At over forty years old, even if you cultivated to a higher realm, you would still be an outsider to the high-level members of the holy land. It would be hard to gain strong support from the Blazing Sun Holy Land. In that case, it was better to stay in Yicheng.]
[However, you hoped your youngest son Ye Chen could go to the holy land for testing. You were certain that, with the blessing of the Nine Dragon Pill, he must have a Special Physique. With his Earth Grade Middle Rank Bone Structure, perhaps cultivating in the holy land would be faster and grant him better resources. Ye Chen was only five years old now. Going to the holy land would give him a better chance of receiving strong nurturing. As a parent, you should give him the best development possible.]
