Chapter 5: Ye Zhen's Panacea

  "Haha, I finally broke through!"

  Ye Lin threw back his head and burst out laughing.

  He had no reason not to smile, since his father's disappearance, his strength has been stagnant.

  He wants to be with his parents in this life and the next.

  However, he was an orphan in his previous life and did not know who his parents were. In this life, he had never seen his mother since childhood, and when he was ten years old, his father also disappeared.

  All this brought him immense pressure.

  What's most important is that within the Ye family, there are many disciples, but the family's cultivation resources are extremely limited.

  This has resulted in a situation where there are too many monks but not enough gruel.

  Similarly, inevitably, many disputes over resource allocation have arisen.

  Among them, Ye Lin and Ye Zhen were the most prominent.

  Both of them were in the same situation, with a weak bloodline and innate talent. To cultivate martial arts, they must have had massive resources to support them.

  Fortunately, both of them had a strong backing: one was the eldest grandson of the clan leader and the other was the legitimate grandson of the second elder.

  The two of them can be said to have equivalent status and have an advantage over other disciples in terms of resources.

  However, in order to promote the progress of their disciples and become a powerful force as soon as possible, the Ye family also allowed their disciples to fight each other without killing or injuring each other.

  In this way, the struggle between two direct disciples with similar talents became even more intense.

  Of course, if that's all, Ye Lin, as the eldest grandson of the tribe leader, wouldn't be afraid either. After all, his comprehension was too strong, and ordinary disciples were simply no match for him.

  However, Ye had a natural talent that was even higher than Yelin's, with an orange bloodline talent. His cultivation speed was more than twice as fast as Yelin's. And because Yelin cultivated the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Fist", he couldn't even imagine the true dragon, and his punches only had form but not spirit.

  Such a result is that the gap between the two people will only get bigger and bigger.

  In the past, Ye Lin was stronger than Ye Zhen in terms of martial arts skills due to his higher innate talent. Whenever they fought each other, Ye Lin would not lose. However, after Ye Zhen's breakthrough, his strength grew exponentially and the gap between their abilities gradually widened. As a result, Ye Zhen often came to provoke Ye Lin from time to time.

  Even with various excuses, forcing Ye Lin to gamble and plundering Ye Lin's allocated cultivation resources.

  Such a result can only make Ye Lin more and more dissatisfied in her heart, feeling farther and farther away from her dreams.

  But now, he finally broke through, naturally, his strength also greatly increased, and from then on, he was no longer afraid of Ye Zhen robbing him of his resources again.

  "Master, you'd better stop smiling and think about what you'll do in the future!"

  Watching Ye Lin still laughing there, Xing Tian finally couldn't help but speak up.

  "What's wrong?"

  Ye Lin was overjoyed when he suddenly heard Xing Tian's words, and he couldn't help but pause, asking.

  "Look, this time you broke through, even using the thousand-year-old He Shou Wu, just barely enough. What will you do next time you break through?"

  This time, Xing Tian couldn't help but speak up; otherwise, three months later, Ye Lin might really be driven out of the Ye family's mansion.

  Upon hearing this, Ye Lin was shocked and asked: "What? Even the thousand-year-old He Shou Wu was used?"

  Although He Shou Wu is still a common product, it only grows once in ten thousand years. It's already a very precious thing. Which ordinary family dares to use such a treasure?

  But I didn't expect that this time my own breakthrough would actually use such a treasure, so what about next time's breakthrough?

  The most important thing is that this is still the first heavy day of refining the body, and the consumption of resources is so great. How can it be sustained later?

  Moreover, there are only three months left until the clan meeting now. Three months later, if I still haven't broken through to the Copper Bone realm, I will really be driven out.

  In these three months, how can a young cultivator like him find so many resources?

  A spiritual medicine of the Wan Nian grade, is probably not much in the inventory of the Ye family, and the more you cultivate, the more resources you need. Now that you are only at the Jiao Pi boundary, you already have so many resources, let alone when you reach the Tong Pi boundary, or even the Lian Jin boundary, Lian Gu boundary, Lian Zang boundary, etc., who knows how many resources will be needed?

  Bang!!

  Ye Lin was still worried about resources when the big gate of his courtyard was kicked open by someone.

  A large crowd of people, surrounding a fifteen or sixteen year old boy, walked in from the kicked open door.

  "Yelin, you've got some nerve, daring to hit someone I care about."

  As soon as the young man entered the door, he loudly shouted.

  "Is it true?"

  Ye Lin furrowed his brow and looked at the young man with a gloomy face, saying.

  Not bad, this young man is Ye Zhen, who has been fighting with Ye Lin since childhood.

  Yesterday, I finally broke through the corner tendon boundary and reached the copper tendon boundary. I don't have to worry about being kicked out of the family anymore. My mood is great, so I immediately came to fight Ye Lin. Under the name of sparring, I beat him up again. As for this guy, Ye Lin really hates me to the point where his teeth ache.

  But I didn't expect him to come again today.

  Looking at Ye Mu and others behind him, it goes without saying that Ye Lin also knew that these guys were the ones who came.

  Indeed, for these two days, Ye Zhen's mood had been exceptionally good. However, suddenly, some of his younger brothers came to report that the useless Ye Lin had hit them.

  He was furious in his heart: This waste, hitting a dog still has to look at the master, and in three months, he will be driven out of the family mansion. How dare he be so arrogant, it's simply ignorant of death.

  At this time, he brought some of his younger brothers and rushed straight to Yelin's place.

  Looking at Ye Lin's slightly furrowed brow, Ye Zhen smiled triumphantly and called out to his younger brother, saying: "Hmph, Ye Mu, come out and say, was it Ye Lin who made the move?"

  "Not bad, Ye Zhen Shixiong, it was him. We were originally discussing martial skills, but he saw our strength improving and became jealous in his heart, so he snuck up on us and injured us."

  Ye Mu naturally wouldn't tell everyone the truth, and pointing at Ye Lin was just a scolding.

  Ye Mu was also a member of the Ye family, but he was just a collateral disciple and didn't have much prospects. He had no choice but to find a backer, hoping that when he grew up, he could get a good job.

  As for the grudges between Ye Lin and Ye Zhen, he was of course clear about them. In order to please Ye Zhen, he naturally spoke ill of Ye Lin.

  "How dare you, Ye Lin! Speak up, you hit my man, what are you going to do about it?"

  Ye Zhenke didn't care about their past grievances; as long as he could find an excuse, that was all that mattered.

  "Oh, what are you going to do now?"

  If it were in the past, Ye Lin might still want to worry about it for a while, but now that he had just broken through his own strength, he was not afraid of this guy.

  "You're almost being kicked out of the family anyway, so why don't we have a gamble and see who wins?"

  Ye Zhen smiled slyly and asked.

  He knew that just yesterday, Ye Lin had just received a share of resources in the family. Three months later, Ye Lin might be driven out of the family. Perhaps, if Ye Zhen wanted to get any benefits from this kid again, he would have no chance.

  In this way, Ye Lin naturally attached more importance to the resources in his hands.

  "Alright then, I wonder what you're going to bet with?"

  Just broke through, Ye Lin really wanted to try his hand.

  What's most important is that Ye Zhen wants the resources in Ye Lin's hands, and doesn't Ye Lin also want the resources in Ye Zhen's hands?

  "Huh?"

  Ye Lin's words were direct, and Ye Zhen was taken aback.

  Before, every time he heard about fighting a duel, Ye Lin would slightly frown, where would there be such a direct approach?

  Isn't he looking at himself with no hope and wanting to give up?

  If it's really like that, then so be it.

  Ye Zhen thought to himself, looking at Ye Lin's relaxed face, and smiled slightly: "In these years, you haven't made a breakthrough either. Every time you receive so many resources, I suppose there must be a huge surplus left over. Let me think... I just got a Wanling Dan from my big brother, I'll use this one Wanling Dan to bet against all your resources."

  As he spoke, he took out a fragrant Dan medicine from his bosom.

  Ye Lin just took a glance, and saw an orange light shooting up into the sky. Suddenly, his heart was greatly moved: "Treasure! This is absolutely treasure, even more precious than the thousand-year-old Black-haired Beauty."

  Martial artists need a lot of resources for cultivation, and elixirs are one of them, and they are also relatively high-level ones.

  Don't look at this Dan medicine as not being very large, but the energy contained within is enough to support a cultivator in the Refining Marrow realm for one complete cycle of refining all five internal organs. This is fundamentally something that ordinary people cannot obtain, even if Ye Lin's grandfather was the tribe leader, he had never obtained it before.

  Ye Zhen was able to get everything because he had a genius older brother with the terrifying Purple Blood talent, who was heavily cultivated by the Ye family and naturally received the most resources. Occasionally, Ye Zhen could also get one or two portions of dan medicine from his older brother.

  It's worth noting that the further one cultivates, the more resources are needed for cultivation. This single pill is enough to support a Qi Refining Realm warrior in refining all five of their internal organs once, and the energy contained within can be imagined.

  Ye Zhenken took out such a precious elixir, he can be said to have paid a heavy price.

  Looking at the fragrant and pungent Dan medicine, Ye Lin's eyes turned red. With just one pill of Dan medicine, he could at least make another breakthrough, or even break through to the first heaven and enter the Refining Muscle Realm.

  "Do I need to bring out all of my resources?"

  Struggling not to look at the elixir again, Ye Lin asked nonchalantly.

  Actually, Ye Lin didn't have any other resources. For the past six years, every time he received resources from his family, they wouldn't last a night before he gave them all to Xing Tian for him to use in his cultivation breakthroughs.

  Originally, Xing Tian had left some resources for Ye Lin's cultivation, fearing that he would suddenly break through at any moment.

  However, just now, he broke through and used up all of his last bit of resources.

  Now Ye Zhen has misjudged his resources, it can be said that he has made a mistake in his approach.

  But he wouldn't say it out loud. He knew that Ye Zhen was a very arrogant guy, and since he thought he had the resources in his hands, he would definitely stick to it until the end.

  As expected, Ye Zhenyi listened to Ye Lin's words, thought for a moment, and then pretended to be magnanimous: "Forget it, after all, we are also cousins, I still believe in your character."

  "Good."

  Ye Lin smiled slightly and agreed to Ye Zhen's request for a duel.

  Don't do something for nothing when it comes to Karate and White Wolf.

  Of course, if it were in the past, with Ye Lin's temperament, he would definitely not shirk his responsibilities and Ye Zhen believed him, which was absolutely not wrong.

  But now it's different, Ye Lin broke through today, so this gamble is a bit suspenseful.
