Contract

After arriving at their destination!

Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao stared wide-eyed at the bare mountain before them, completely at a loss.

In Ye Qingxuan's Mind, an ancestor usually lived in a lavish palace. How could he possibly stay on such a small mountain?

Besides, there were no traces of anyone living on this mountain either?

Though puzzled, Ye Qingxuan did not open his mouth to ask.

They had already entered the Xuantian Sect Interior, so it was better to be cautious. If his question happened to be overheard by their own Ancestor and left a bad impression, that would be terrible.

Ye Yuhong paid no attention to the two men's Small Action. After landing, he respectfully bowed.

Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan hurriedly led Ye Qingxiao in bowing in the same direction as Ye Yuhong.

After bowing, Ye Yuhong took out a Jade Talisman, activated it with Magic Power, and called out loudly:

"Ancestor, Ye Family Current Patriarch Ye Yuhong has brought the clan's juniors to request an audience with you!"

The moment his words fell, the space not far ahead of the three rippled, and a Cave Mansion suddenly appeared in the Original Place.

At the same time, a hearty voice sounded from within:

"Hahaha! Little Yuhong, there's no need for all this. Come in, all of you!"

Hearing the Ancestor's words, Ye Yuhong's old face reddened. After a light cough, he returned to normal and calmly led the oddly expressioned Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao into the Cave Mansion before them.

After entering the Cave Mansion, Ye Qingxuan discovered that there was Another World inside.

The Cave Mansion was spacious, with many Exotic Flowers and Herbs planted within. A Spirit Spring also flowed through its interior.

Its Spiritual Energy Density was also a notch stronger than outside.

Only upon reaching the depths of the Cave Mansion did Ye Qingxuan see a Middle-aged Man dressed in ancient, simple robes, whose apparent age was similar to Ye Yuhong's.

Ye Yuhong led Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao to a spot not far In Front of the Middle-aged Man, who Sat Cross-legged, then bowed and said:

"Yuhong greets Ancestor!"

Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao behind him followed suit and bowed.

"Qingxuan, Qingxiao, greet Ancestor!"

This Middle-aged Man was precisely Ye Zhaoyang, the Ye Family's Ancestor cultivating in the Xuantian Sect, a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator and a figure from the Ye Family's previous generation.

Yet, Did Not Expect that upon hearing their form of address, Ye Zhaoyang directly waved his hand in displeasure.

"Stop calling me Ancestor all the time. In the Ye Family, I am the Ancestor, but in the Xuantian Sect, I am merely an Ordinary Core Disciple!

"If you keep calling me Ancestor this and Ancestor that, wouldn't I be laughed to death if my Friends found out?"

Seeing that their own Ancestor was unwilling, Ye Yuhong could only persuade him helplessly.

"Ancestor, propriety must not be abandoned. Besides, you truly are our Ancestor!"

Hearing Ye Yuhong say this, Ye Zhaoyang could Neither Laugh nor Cry. In the end, he could only compromise.

"Forget it. Just don't call me that in front of my Friends."

Then, Ye Zhaoyang turned his gaze toward Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao behind Ye Yuhong. Confusion filled his Eyes as he asked:

"Isn't there only one Blessed Cultivator Quota? Why have you brought two people?"

Facing his own Ancestor's confusion, Ye Yuhong pulled Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao forward and introduced them.

"Ancestor, this is Ye Qingxuan, the Disciple selected by the clan to receive the Blessed Cultivator Quota.

"This is Ye Qingxiao. He possesses a Five Element High-Grade Spirit Root and is the most gifted Clan Member the Ye Family has seen in Hundreds of Years. I want him to enter the Xuantian Sect for cultivation."

Hearing This, Ye Zhaoyang's gaze passed over Ye Qingxuan and landed on Ye Qingxiao. Delighted, he said:

"Not bad. With the talent of your Five Element Spirit Root, in a Cultivation Environment like the Xuantian Sect, breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm is only a matter of time. You may even have a chance to glimpse Spirit Transformation!"

"Thank you for your Auspicious Words, Ancestor. In the future, within the sect, I will have to rely greatly on you!"

Although Ye Qingxiao was usually carefree and rough around the edges, he was not foolish. How could he possibly let such a good opportunity slip by, especially when the other party was his own Ancestor?

In the Xuantian Sect, having someone to rely on was far better than having no one at all.

Not to mention anything else—during the Early Stage, if his own Ancestor merely let a little of his unwanted resources trickle down to him, it would be enough to significantly speed up his Cultivation Speed.

Upon hearing Ye Qingxiao's words, Ye Zhaoyang instantly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!"

This time, he showed no resistance to being called Ancestor.

Ye Zhaoyang himself also had a Five Element Spirit Root. As Long As cultivators with Five Element Spirit Roots did not fall midway, it was not difficult for them to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm in the Xuantian Sect and become Core Disciples.

Thus, between Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao, Ye Zhaoyang valued Ye Qingxiao more.

After all, a Blessed Cultivator who was the First-tier Blessed Land Lord could basically bring him very few resources.

It could only be said that Blessed Cultivators from Small Families had far too little potential.

The Ye Family Has Not had any surplus resources to nurture Ye Qingxuan into a High-grade Blessed Cultivator. In Ye Zhaoyang's eyes, Blessed Cultivators were Bottomless Pits—too regrettable to abandon, yet tasteless to keep.

But a Clan Member with decent talent was different. A Nascent Soul Cultivator's Lifespan could reach a limit of three thousand years, so he had more than enough time to wait for Ye Qingxiao to grow.

Once Ye Qingxiao broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, as members of the same clan, they could naturally support one another.

Then, whether they went out to explore or went out to carry out Sect Missions, both their safety and their chances of obtaining resources would be far greater.

The Xuantian Sect was a Large Family, but it would not raise Idlers. The higher the tier of resources, the higher the requirements for exchange.

Core Disciples with Ordinary Talent like Ye Zhaoyang were everywhere in the Xuantian Sect.

For Ordinary Disciples like them, whose futures were dim, if they wanted to obtain High-tier Resources and speed up their Cultivation Speed, they either had to work hard at Sect Missions or go out themselves to seek fortuitous opportunities.

But no matter which path they chose, going alone would inevitably Greatly Increase the Danger Level.

Although Ye Zhaoyang had some Old Friends within the sect, every one of those Old Friends was shrewd as a ghost. How could they be as reliable as Clan Members he had personally nurtured?

After sizing up Ye Qingxiao with satisfaction, Ye Zhaoyang turned his gaze toward Ye Qingxuan.

"Ye Qingxuan? Are you sure you are willing to Become A Blessed Cultivator?"

Looking at Ye Zhaoyang, whose smile had already faded, Ye Qingxuan did not feel indignant over the Unfair Treatment. Instead, he answered respectfully:

"Reporting to Ancestor, Qingxuan's Heart is set. I am willing to Become A Blessed Cultivator!"

How others treated you depended on the benefits you could bring them.

Although Ye Zhaoyang was his Ancestor, he was not his parents. Ye Qingxuan was already content that he had asked for his opinion.

A person must know his own worth. At this moment, no one could see any future in him.

Thus, Ye Qingxuan was extremely calm, without the slightest dissatisfaction. After all, the Ye Family had already done all it could for him.

Across from him, upon hearing Ye Qingxuan's reply and seeing how calm Ye Qingxuan was, Ye Zhaoyang thought to himself:

This boy's temperament is quite good. I just Don't Know how long he can endure the torment of sitting in one place day after day after becoming a Blessed Cultivator!

Seeing that Ye Qingxuan was willing to Become A Blessed Cultivator, Ye Zhaoyang said no more. He took out a contract and handed it to Ye Qingxuan.

"Since you are willing, then sign this contract!

"According To the previous rules, aside from the sect's Planting Mission, the Blessed Land's other additional income is divided with thirty percent to the family, thirty percent to This Old Man, and only the remaining Forty Percent to you.

"The family needs to develop, so its thirty-percent share will remain unchanged. As for my thirty percent, I will not take it. Consider it support from the Ye Family and from me, your Ancestor.

"If you have no objections, sign it!"

Ye Zhaoyang truly looked down on the little Low-Tier Resources produced by a First-tier Blessed Land, so he gave them to Ye Qingxuan as a favor made while going with the flow.

As for his own Ancestor's goodwill, Ye Qingxuan did not put on a show of refusal. His face lit up, and he bowed gratefully.

"Qingxuan thanks Ancestor for your support!"

Then, after looking it over and confirming there were no errors, he signed the contract.

His own Ancestor might not think much of those thirty percent of resources, but to Ye Qingxuan himself, they would be no small help in the Early Stage and could completely speed up his Growth Speed by quite a bit.

As for the family and his Ancestor, Ye Qingxuan could only find an opportunity in the future to repay them.
