Volume 1: Wudao Xiantian Chapter 5: Qing Yu You Miao

  Back at the house, Ye Xu immediately started cleaning up, Su Qiaoqiao also lent a hand to help. Just as they finished, they suddenly heard a flurry of footsteps outside.

  Ye Xu pushed open the door and saw Ye Feng leading a dozen or so servants rushing into his own courtyard, his face slightly sinking as he looked around with a hint of nostalgia.

  This house was the wealth left to him by his parents, Ye Xu had lived here for fourteen years, full of emotions and memories, now he has to leave, it's not a pleasant feeling.

  Ye Feng stood in front of the gate, with a self-satisfied expression, directing the servants to clean the courtyard: "Clean up the yard thoroughly, throw away anything that can be thrown away, so that I won't get annoyed when I see it."

  Ye Xulong let out a long sigh, and with Su Qiaoqiao, walked out of the courtyard in big strides. His expression was calm as he said: "Sixth brother, take good care of my courtyard, I hope it's not messy when I get back."

  Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, and it wasn't until half a while later that he came to his senses, whereupon he flew into a rage. He felt as if he had been treated like a watchdog specifically responsible for guarding the mansion!

  Ye Feng had the heart to chase after him, but saw Ye Xu had already walked far away. Suddenly, he felt disappointed and uninteresting. He was originally full of enthusiasm, planning to humiliate Ye Xu severely, but unexpectedly ended up humiliating himself instead.

  "Dead duck with a hard mouth! You're a useless thing, and you still want to return to the Ye family's inner court? Dream on!" Ye Feng cursed.

  Ye's horse farm is located outside of Liu Zhou City, covering hundreds of hectares, and all the horses are from the Western Regions. There are also several hundred stable slaves who take care of the horses.

  These horse slaves were treated poorly, eating worse than horses. If the horses were slightly injured or ill, they would be whipped lightly or killed and thrown into a mass grave to feed dogs.

  Ye Xue arrived at the horse farm, where he saw hundreds of horse slaves practicing martial arts on the lawn. Although their skills were not as good as those of the aristocratic young masters, they were still quite impressive, and some older horse slaves had even reached a level close to that of innate experts.

  A young man wearing a green robe stood in front, pointing at the crowd's martial arts and shouting: "To survive on my horse farm, you must have strength. If your arms don't have hundreds of pounds of force, you can't hold back a fierce horse! Your movements must be agile too. When a fierce horse loses control, its hooves as big as bowls will trample down. If you can't dodge, there's only one outcome - death!"

  Ye Xuhong's heart moved: "This must be Ma Sanbao, the owner of the horse farm. I heard that he was originally a slave of my Ye family, but later became a warrior and a wizard, and only then did he get rid of his slave status and take on important responsibilities."

  Ye Xiu walked forward, Ma Sanbao saw him and Su Qiaoqiao, slightly stunned, then frowned and said: "You are Seventh Master Ye Shaobao?"

  Ye Xiu nodded slightly, and a buzz of conversation immediately spread through the crowd. The stable hands whispered to each other, discussing heatedly: "Is he really Ye Qidi? I heard he's a genius with unparalleled talent, only fourteen years old this year, yet already at the First Heaven stage in martial arts! Even the master of the manor was shocked and plans to reuse him, how did he end up here at the horse grounds?"

  "Old Wu, you're outdated. I heard from a small servant in the inner court that Ye Xu went to the Wu Bei Ge yesterday and failed the witch doctor's test, so the master of the house stripped him of his status as a member of the imperial clan and demoted him to a horse slave. Now he's just like us, a lowly servant!"

  ……

  Ma Sanbao turned his head and glared at them fiercely, and the stable boys immediately shut their mouths.

  Ma Sanbao paused, saying: "Seventh Master, since you've come to my horse farm, you must follow my rules. I don't care if you're a useless person or a member of the Ye family's clan, as long as you break my rules, I will definitely punish you severely!"

  "The owner of the horse farm ordered." Ye Xu smiled and said.

  Ma Sanbao was amazed in his heart, and if he were to be honest with himself, if he had gone through such a huge ups and downs, he would have probably been disheartened long ago. But Ye Xu could still smile, and Ma couldn't help but admire his demeanor, dispelling his lazy thoughts. He cupped his hands and said: "I dare not disobey your orders. Seventh Master, your daily task is very simple, just clean the horse stable, if the stable is clean, the horses won't get sick." After that, he ordered someone to arrange for Ye Xu's accommodation.

  Ye Xuan immediately settled down in the stable, tidied up his bed, and saw Su Qiaoqiao rushing out excitedly. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Qiaoqiao, where are you going?"

  That girl didn't even lift her head and said: "I'll go practice martial arts with the people outside, when Qiaoqiao achieves something in the future, I can protect Young Master!"

  Ye Xuan was both amused and moved, Su Qiaoqiao had never been fond of martial arts before, but now she had the idea of cultivating it, just to protect herself. She laughed: "If you want to practice martial arts, why not ask the first-rate master at home instead of going out with those people? They only cultivate superficial martial arts, while I cultivate the superior martial arts of the Ye family!"

  Su Jiaojiao's face turned bright red, and she retreated back, saying "I forgot..."

  Ye Xue burst out laughing and said, "The Tianming Body Refining Technique is a secret of the Ye family that cannot be passed on to outsiders. Moreover, this martial art is extremely overbearing and not suitable for girls to cultivate. I once saw a copy of the Xuanyuan True Qi in the armory, which is also a top-notch martial art, suitable for girls to cultivate. Although it's not as good as the Tianming Body Refining Technique, it's only slightly inferior."

  Ye Xuan immediately recited the original text of Xuan Ming's true energy, explaining it in detail. He found that Su Qiaoqiao's ability to learn was indeed very strong. He only said it once, and she remembered the complete Xuan Ming's true energy, with only a few mistakes, and grasped the general meaning of the heart method.

  More than half a time later, Su Qiaoqiao finally found her breath, and a thread of Xuanming true energy was born in her dantian, circulating around her meridians.

  "Qiao Qiao's talent is no worse than mine, and far surpasses that of the other Ye family children. If not for this little girl not loving to practice martial arts, I'm afraid her achievements would not be much inferior to my past self..."

  Ye Xue also sat down cross-legged, looking inward at the dantian meridian, and was delighted to discover that one of his meridians had already healed. The width, toughness, and strength of the meridian were all greatly increased compared to before. He thought: "What is that green jade sapling in the White Jade Building? How can it have such an amazing effect?"

  His consciousness once again entered the Jade Building, where he saw that the young shoots on the small island in the Jade Flower and Dew Pond had grown even more robust, reaching a height of two inches, with two tender green leaves emerging from the top, like two delicate palms supporting the sky.

  In the Jade Building space, there was a strong vitality everywhere, more intense than before.

  This sapling is still small, and its leaves are indistinguishable as to whether it is a grass or a tree, or perhaps a flower or vine.

  "What? Where did the dew come from?"

  He suddenly noticed that between the two tender leaves of the seedling, a crystal clear dewdrop was being held, and his heart couldn't help but feel astonished. The Jade Flower Pond in the White Jade Pavilion had already dried up, not even half a drop of water remained, and the White Jade Pavilion was floating within his dantian, unable to come into contact with the outside world, so where did this dewdrop come from?

  That dewdrop emitted a pungent fragrance that made one want to swallow it.

  But Ye Xu keenly sensed that this raindrop was filled with violent energy, and if he swallowed it rashly, his body would definitely not be able to withstand it, absolutely not a good thing!

  Ding Dong!

  The raindrop slid from the tip of the leaf and dripped into the Jade Flower Pool, making a crisp sound, like mercury, rolling back and forth in the pool, but not evaporating.

  "A strange drop of water, a strange plant, a strange jade building..."

  Ye Xu withdrew from the Jade Building space, focusing on drawing out the vital energy within the Jade Building and pouring it into his own meridians. His damaged meridians were like a long-drought land encountering sweet rain, greedily devouring the vital energy transmitted from the mysterious young sprout, repairing the damage to his meridians.

  "Now one of my meridians is open, I should be able to cultivate the Tianmen Body Refining Technique."

  Ye Xuan sat down cross-legged, calmed his mind and spirit, circulated the Tianmen True Body Technique, and after a while, a wisp of Tianmen true energy slowly emerged from his Dan Tian.

  Cang means cyan, Ming means sky, Cangming Lian Ti Jue is to build the Dan Tian into a cyan-colored sky, so the true Qi produced is also cyan.

  Ye Xu had once cultivated this technique to the Xiantian realm, although his cultivation was completely lost, his foundation still existed, and his dantian had become extremely vast. At this moment, re-cultivating it would be extremely easy.

  However, what astonished him was that as soon as this wisp of primordial true energy was born, a powerful attractive force came from the White Jade Pavilion, drawing the true energy in.

  Ye Xue's consciousness also followed this strand of true energy into the White Jade Pavilion, where he saw the vast and mysterious true energy surging towards that mysterious green jade sapling. In an instant, it drilled into the sapling's body, and after a moment, it emerged again from the leaf tip. The originally pale blue true energy had transformed into a deep green color, clearly indicating that the quality of the true energy was now higher than before by more than one level!

  Moreover, his profound and mysterious true energy also carried a strange life aura, which should be the change produced in that mysterious sapling body, similar to but not quite the same as the orthodox profound and mysterious true energy.

  Ye Xuan was surprised, but this change not only did no harm to him, on the contrary, it was quite beneficial, helping to repair his meridians. So he didn't mind and immediately manipulated this strand of true energy to enter his meridians!

  With the help of this strand of true energy, Ye Xu was overjoyed to discover that his speed in repairing meridians had increased by several degrees, and he had cleared another main meridian in less than half a time unit, with an astonishing repair speed.

  At the same time, in his lower abdomen, a steady stream of new Tianqi was being produced, which was absorbed into the body by the Qingyu sprout in the White Jade Building, and then spat out, turning into a dark green color, swallowing and spitting.

  Ye Xu's true energy continued to grow, and the speed of opening up his meridians also became faster and faster. The more meridians he opened up, the more true energy was produced, forming a virtuous cycle.

  After a long time, Ye Xu finally opened his eyes. Unbeknownst to him, he had been cultivating for an entire night. Outside, the sky was already bright and Su Qiaoqiao was nowhere to be found.

  After such a long period of cultivation, more than half of the meridians in his body have been restored!

  "In two days, at most just two days, I can repair all the meridians!"

  Ye Xuheng's heart was both shocked and delighted, he secretly thought: "As long as I repair my meridians, I'll have hope to return to the pre-heavenly realm of martial arts, becoming a Wu Shi is just around the corner! I want those who humiliated me to see, who is the real waste!"
