Chapter 72 - 71 Severing Ties

72: Chapter 71: Severing Ties 72 -71: Severing Ties “Top Grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pill?!” Everyone was staring blankly at the jade bottle in Ye Xuan’s hand. Even the veteran alchemist Hua Feng was shaken, his eyes twinkling with astonishment. But soon after, Hua Feng shook his head with a smile, “What am I thinking? In the entire Southern Domain, the number of people who can produce a Top Grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pill can be counted on one hand. Such beings, even in the vast East Desolation Domain, are very famous figures. This young man looks barely sixteen, how could he have crafted such an elixir…” Those who regained their composure were not only Hua Feng. Many people came to their senses and looked at Ye Xuan with a face full of mockery. “Top Grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pill? Are you joking? Even an alchemist of Hua Feng’s caliber can’t produce a Top Grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pill, and this kid can?” “Impressive, impressive, the rumored foolish son-in-law of the Emperor Immortal Sect is too amazing, actually claiming to produce a Top Grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pill!” someone whispered with laughter. “Showing off to gain attention,” Jiang Jie glanced at Ye Xuan, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes. Jiang Yunqi almost burst out laughing, looking at Ye Xuan with a peculiar expression, “Is my cousin’s husband an alchemist?” “To call myself an alchemist would be an overstatement because, in my view, alchemy is ultimately a minor path,” Ye Xuan said lightly. “What?” “Alchemy is a minor path?!” “Are you kidding, isn’t it well-known how prestigious alchemists are?” As soon as Ye Xuan’s words were spoken, they immediately stirred up a commotion. Especially those guests who were alchemists, their faces darkened, but since they were at the Jiang Family’s place, they refrained from reacting outright. “Brother Jiang, your grandson-in-law sure has a unique perspective,” Hua Feng said to Jiang Tiannan with an expressionless face. Calling alchemy a minor path? Wasn’t he slapping the alchemists in the face? Jiang Tiannan forced a smile, unsure of how to respond, yet his dissatisfaction with Ye Xuan had reached its peak. “Everyone knows that alchemists, artifact refiners, divine talisman masters, and spirit array masters are the four major professions of this era, each immensely prestigious, yet you say alchemy is a minor path—where do these words come from?” Being an alchemist himself, Jiang Jie, considered a prodigy among the younger generation of the Jiang Family, looked at Ye Xuan with a frigid gaze, questioning him coldly. He had always prided himself on being an alchemist, and now Ye Xuan’s words genuinely enraged him. “Four major professions?” Ye Xuan heard this and seemed slightly surprised; he calmly shook his head, “These professions are indeed all quite decent, but they are merely minor paths.” Ye Xuan had delved into these professions during the endless years after escaping the burial of the Emperor Lord, investigating many of them, including these four major professions Jiang Jie mentioned. The true Dao is oneself. All others are but minor paths. “Ye Xuan…” Zhou Youwei’s eyes revealed a trace of astonishment. She had not expected Ye Xuan to say such things. “Ye Xuan, what are you talking about…” Zhou Bingyi felt a bit dizzy. This ridiculous brother-in-law was talking nonsense again. Ye Xuan’s words directly plunged the entire courtyard into silence. The next moment. Gales of laughter erupted. Those who initially had a hard time accepting Ye Xuan burst into laughter at this moment, mockingly saying, “It seems this guy isn’t just bluffing; he truly is a fool!” “It’s our fault, we all forgot, this guy is a natural-born fool, fond of making such foolish statements.” “The Emperor Immortal Sect really did well picking such a man as a son-in-law.” “Coming to Huainan Mountain was purely to embarrass the Jiang Family deliberately.” “…” The previously tense atmosphere was significantly eased in this moment. Even Jiang Jie turned back and sat down, not bothering to speak further with Ye Xuan. In his view, Ye Xuan was completely a fool spouting nonsense, and arguing with him was pointless! “Cousin husband, I must say, your words really fit you well,” Jiang Yunqi looked at Ye Xuan with a strange expression. “Just speaking the truth,” Ye Xuan responded lightly. “The truth? Hahaha…” The guests at the banquet all showed smiles. Jiang Xiaozong, Jiang Xiaotang, and Jiang Yin, the three siblings, exchanged glances, each seeing displeasure in the others’ eyes. This Ye Xuan was truly embarrassing the Jiang Family, making them the butt of the joke! Hua Feng also couldn’t help but shake his head. So he was a fool after all. “Shameful spectacle!” “Throw him out, I don’t have such a grandson-in-law!” Jiang Tiannan, seated at the head of the table, was at his limit and bellowed angrily. He had never acknowledged this grandson-in-law. Therefore, since the day Zhou Youwei brought Ye Xuan to the Jiang Family, Jiang Tiannan had never gone to see him, not even when Zhou Youwei brought Ye Xuan to visit that morning. He didn’t even want this man to appear at the gift-giving segment. As expected, his appearance now only caused a farce. Shua shua shua! With a fierce shout from Jiang Tiannan, a team of Jiang Family guards, all formidable and sharp-eyed, appeared in the courtyard, uniformly aligned. Without explanation, they walked toward Ye Xuan, ready to throw him out. Many onlookers watched the scene with amusement. The younger generation of the Jiang Family, including Jiang Feng, Jiang Jie, Jiang Yunqi, Jiang Yunxue, and Jiang Yunmeng, all watched coldly, even with a hint of schadenfreude. Zhou Bingyi saw this scene and immediately her face turned pale. “If grandfather dislikes us, we can leave now. There’s no need for this,” Zhou Youwei said calmly as she raised her right hand to stop the Jiang Family guards, looking at her grandfather Jiang Tiannan. “As for this Heavenly Silkworm Robe, it is my mother’s kind gesture. Youwei is merely passing it on behalf of her. Whether grandfather accepts it or not, that’s your decision.” Zhou Youwei placed the Heavenly Silkworm Robe on the ground in front of her. “What, are you planning to sever ties with this old man over this fool?” Jiang Tiannan’s face darkened as he looked at Zhou Youwei. “Grandfather’s actions have always seemed intended to sever our ties with the Emperor Immortal Sect, haven’t they?” Zhou Youwei replied calmly. “Good, good, good!” Jiang Tiannan laughed angrily, “Since that is the case, from today onwards, there shall be no connection between my Jiang Family and your Emperor Immortal Sect!” Zhou Youwei trembled slightly, her face paling. She bit her red lips, her eyes slightly red, saying nothing. Behind her, Zhou Bingyi was already dumbfounded. Nobody had expected matters to escalate to such a point. “Father, please calm down. I’ll have them leave right away,” Jiang Xiaotang stood up and, smiling, walked towards Ye Xuan and the others, casually saying, “Since the three of you have no further ties with my Jiang Family, and since my Jiang Family does not permit irrelevant people to enter, you have three breaths’ time to leave, or don’t blame my Jiang Family for being ruthless!” This was outright eviction! “Since that’s how it is, it seems this Top Grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pill isn’t of much use either.” Ye Xuan smiled faintly, squeezing the jade bottle in his hand until it shattered. An elixir appeared before everyone. Ye Xuan looked at the elixir and spoke in a soft voice, “Not giving it to those unworthy feels quite satisfying.” In the midst of speaking, Ye Xuan was about to crush the Life Extension Pill. “Putting on airs.” Many spectators, seeing this scene, could not help but sneer. Even at this point, still putting on an act, truly foolish to the extreme. “Crushing it and leaving sooner would be better,” Jiang Yunmeng muttered disdainfully, giving Ye Xuan a provocative look. “Wait!” Just then, a loud shout suddenly rang out. Immediately afterwards, a figure dashed to Ye Xuan’s side as fast as lightning, looking anxiously at the Life Extension Pill in Ye Xuan’s hand. “Young friend, please don’t crush it!” “Master Hua Feng?!” Seeing that person, everyone was startled. “Master?” Jiang Jie also looked surprised and confused. “Brother Hua?” Jiang Tiannan was equally astonished. “What is it?” Ye Xuan glanced at the old man Hua Feng and said indifferently. “My young friend, could you let this old man have a look at that elixir?” Old man Hua Feng shifted his gaze away from the Life Extension Pill, greeted Ye Xuan with a cupped fist and a friendly smile, “Speaking of which, the Great Sacrificial Officer Wu Jingshan of your sect and I are sworn brothers.” Underneath that smile, there seemed to be a trace of ingratiating intent? “You want this elixir?” Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly. Old man Hua Feng wore a broad smile and said, “Allow this old man to verify it first, and perhaps to restore some justice for you.” “Take it and have a look,” Ye Xuan casually tossed the elixir to old man Hua Feng. Old man Hua Feng caught the elixir. He held the floating Life Extension Pill in his hands with utmost focus, examining it carefully. “Is there a problem with this elixir?” At this point, anyone who wasn’t blind could see there was a problem.

The Jiang Family guards, who were initially prepared to evict them, now could only wait on the side, not daring to interfere. A moment later, old man Hua Feng took a deep breath and said gravely, “It truly is a Top Grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pill, and moreover a very rare Life Extension Pill!”
