Clan Leader: My strength equals to that of the entire clan - Chapter 29
Chapter 29: Chapter 29 The Temptation of Leaving Home 1
Poisons, of course, Ye Fan knew how to concoct.
In the world of medicine and toxins, there is a blur line. Ye Fan could also brew poisons that could knock out martial artists of the Postnatal realm.
However, the use of poison, in reality, is not very extensive.
In battle, without specific techniques, very few martial artists would be affected by poison.
But if it’s a case of lying in wait for a hare to run into a stump, then the effect of poison is far-reaching.
Soon enough, Ye Fan concocted ten sets of poison and handed them over to Ye Jinhai.
Ye Jinhai looked around the Ye family courtyard, set up traps under three walls, and placed the poison there.
The second trap was on the inevitable route into the courtyard.
Every location Ye Jinhai chose, it was as if he’d thoroughly studied the enemy’s psychology.
Ye Fan was reminded of a saying, those who play with tactics have dirty minds.
After placing the last batch of poison in his room, Ye Jinhai dusted off his hands; now, all he had to do was wait for the fish to take the bait.
The news of Ye Jinhai being taken on as a disciple by the Heavenly Sword Sect began to ferment within Wanlu County.
The other two who were accepted as disciples, both came from powerful families in Wanlu County.
Only in the case of Ye Jinhai, Ye Fan seemed to be just an alchemist.
An alchemist is the most valued, yet also the most overlooked.
Usually, those who are good at alchemy seldom excel in combat.
Moreover, many people didn’t hope for the Ye family to produce a powerful martial artist.
As such, many people had their eyes fixed on the Ye family’s quota. Anyway, as long as they haven’t formally entered the Heavenly Sword Sect, even if they died, the sect wouldn’t intervene.
Previous years have seen instances where prospective disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect died before formally joining.
“Father, this Ye Jinhai is just from a small family, it seems we can take action, “said one.
The Zhao Family was also considered a powerful family in Wanlu County.
In the family, there were three Postnatal Realm martial artists.
Zhao Mu, who was the fourth candidate to be selected, would be chosen if a quota was vacated.
Zhao Mu didn’t want to miss this opportunity, and neither did the Zhao family.
Especially after recalling the afternoon fight, Zhao Mu was biting with anger.
Ye Jinhai, this elder, must die!
“Big brother, I think we should take action tonight. He’s just an alchemist, just kill him directly,” Zhao Mu’s father, Zhao Sheng, the second oldest in the Zhao family, said excitedly.
This year, given his son’s age, he was very competitive.
If it were postponed to next year, his competitiveness would decrease a lot, and he might not get another chance at all.
“Let’s take action.”
Zhao Sheng’s elder brother slapped the table, resolutely deciding.
The three men put on their black nightwear and skulked outside the Ye’s mansion.
After circling around, the three Zhao family members scaled the wall and entered the courtyard.
Whoosh!
Zhao Mu suddenly felt like he’d stepped on something and was instantly shocked.
The next moment, he felt an almost imperceptible smell, surrounding him.
“No good, poison!”
Zhao Mu took a step forward, trying to escape.
But as soon as he landed, he experienced the same familiar sensation – there was poison here as well!
Zhao Sheng and Zhao Si were stunned. There was poison, a poison that could affect Postnatal Martial Artists.
Although they only inhaled a thread of it, they felt a burning pain in their chest, and their circulation of True Qi had slowed significantly.
At that time, a figure appeared in their sight.
“Ye Jinhai! You deserve to die.”
Seeing Ye Jinhai, Zhao Mu felt a burning rage consume his reasoning and charged towards him.
Zhao Si and Zhao Sheng witnessed this and immediately followed.
Then, they experienced what cruelty was.
Arrows, traps, poison, disgusting things, Ye Jinhai used everything at his disposal.
In the courtyard, Zhao Mu’s screams and roars occasionally echoed.
Zhao Si and Zhao Sheng finally stopped Zhao Mu: “We can’t continue chasing; this is their territory. We have to leave.”
But Zhao Mu, whose eyes were red, seemingly didn’t hear them.
“Something’s wrong; Zhao Mu has been poisoned!”
Lnao state was orr. ‘Inougn ne was normally Impulsive, ne was aenmtuy not as bad as he was today.
“Now you understand, but it’s too late.”
A sword, a knife, a punch, instantaneously unleashed from the dark.
The three members of the Zhao Family scarcely had time to react and they suddenly felt weak all over.
“Mixed poison, you lot have no martial integrity.”
Bang, bang, bang!
Three bodies were thrown out.
Zhao Mu finally regained consciousness, and pointing shakily at Ye Jinhai, he raged, ‘You dirty…”
With a splatter, three heads soared into the air.
“Father, let’s pay a visit to the Zhao Family.”
They deposited the three men back at the Zhao Family’s residence, and before anyone could react, the Zhao Family was completely looted. The following day, many people received the news.
The Zhao Family was finished.
The bodies of the three members of the Zhao Family were hung at the entrance.
There was not a single survivor in the entire Zhao Family; they were completely plundered.
All eyes turned to the Ye Family, who people had originally considered a wastrel, but now it seemed that this Ye the Alchemist was not to be taken lightly.
Many families, who were making plans, also ceased their activities.
At least until the true strength of the Ye Family was determined, they couldn’t risk any action.
The resources of the Zhao Family had bolstered the Ye’s coffers significantly.
Ye Jinhai was preparing to head to the Heavenly Sword Sect, and in order to ensure that his cultivation level did not lag behind, Ye Fan began the concoction of pills.
The much needed Qi Enhancing Elixir and the vein tempering elixir for cultivation,
The burst elixir and Revitalizing Pill for combat, and so on.
Ye Fan prepared everything that comes to mind.
A huge bundle filled with hundreds of elixirs, all for Ye Jinhai.
Had the Zhao Family not contributed this time, the Ye Family would not have had the silver to afford so many elixirs for Ye Jinhai.
It must be said that the Zhao Family are good people.
“Little Hai, when you go to the sect this time, it will be different from home.
You must be careful.”
“Little Hai, your mother doesn’t have much to give you. Take these five thousand taels of silver and don’t hesitate to spend them when you get there.”
It was the first time a member of the Ye Family travelled so far away, making everyone feel sentimental.
Yet no one asked Ye Jinhai not to leave. An eagle must leave the nest upon maturity to soar higher up in the sky.
Ye Jinhai will forever be part of the Ye Family, and that will never change. “Little Hai, remember that the Ye family will always have your back.”
Ye Fan patted Ye Jinhai’s shoulder, feeling a sudden sense of melancholy as his child was growing up.
He was getting old, not knowing how much longer he could live.
Cultivation, could he wait for it?
Ye Jinhai travelled with the main party of the Heavenly Sword Sect, heading towards the sect’s headquarters thousands of miles away.
They could still cultivate while sitting in the horse carriage and they spent most of their time doing so.
All of them being youths, they were very lively.
After some short small talk, they had a rough understanding of each other.
When they found out that Ye Jinhai came from Wanlu County, a few of them looked at him with a hint of disdain.
Wanlu County is one of the poorest counties in Guanghe Prefecture.
They assumed those small family clans from that kind of county probably hadn’t even seen an elixir before.
Thinking so, they took out their elixirs from their bosoms, put them into their mouths, and began to cultivate.
“Country boy from Wanlu County, do you want me to give you a couple of elixirs to have a taste?” a man offered jokingly.
Ye Jinhai’s face had no emotion, as he quietly lifted his bag.
Accidentally, a pile of elixirs spilled onto the ground.
Elixirs, all are elixirs?
That aroma… there’s no mistake.
“Aiya, why did my daddy prepare so many elixirs for me!”
The people who were looking at Ye Jinhai changed their sights; he was a fat sheep!
The next morning, Ye Jinhai’s bag was a lot heavier.
These fellows in the carriage were good guys.
In the future, he couldn’t always rely on his dad anymore.
It was time to start earning his own money.
Time passes quickly, a year had passed since Ye Jinhai left the Ye Family!
