For the martial artists or alchemists of Daxia, reaching the Fifth Rank in cultivation before the age of fifteen can greatly benefit their future advancent.
Ye Lingyue was already thirteen years old, yet she was only at Third Rank, making it extrely difficult to achieve the Fifth Rank in just over a year.
Ye Wuming couldn’t help feeling disappointed. He had hoped that the one who would awaken him would be a descendant of the Ye family with better natural talent, as he originally wanted to achieve through his descendant the ambitions he was unable to fulfill himself.
"Grand Ancestor, I admit that both my Martial Arts Cultivation and spiritual power are average. But that’s also because I have been studying Primordial Power and spiritual power for only five months," Ye Lingyue did not get discouraged by Ye Wuming’s words.
On the contrary, her eyes brightened more and more, and her words were full of confidence.
What! Primordial Power and spiritual power cultivated only five months ago?
Even Ye Wuming, who had seen countless talents, had never heard of anyone, who could break through to the Body Refinent Ninth Layer and Third Rank spiritual power within five months.
Could it be that he, Ye Wuming, had been mistaken, and the child before him was not of diocre talent, but rather, a rare martial cultivation prodigy in Daxia, even within a thousand years for the Ye Family?
Stunned by the revelation, Ye Wuming explored Ye Lingyue’s body with his spiritual power and quickly discovered that what Ye Lingyue said was true.
From the condition of her Dantian and ridians, she was indeed a novice in cultivating Primordial Power and spiritual power.
Ye Wuming reassessed Ye Lingyue, seeing in this child, a reflection of his forr self.
The sa thirst for strength, the sa curiosity about the unknown, but what made Ye Wuming’s heart flutter the most was the determination on Ye Lingyue, which was an essential factor to becoming an outstanding alchemist.
However, aside from these factors, what Ye Wuming cared most about was another quality of Ye Lingyue - her fate.
Being a Third Rank alchemist who possessed a Cauldron Soul implied that this child must have experienced so incredible fortune earlier.
As an outstanding alchemist, on one hand, one must possess strong spiritual power, but on the other hand, great luck is also needed, much like gamblers whose good fortune typically brings much greater rewards.
After all, whether it is Alchemy or Artifact Refining, both are a ga of chance, and a lucky alchemist can achieve much more with less effort.
If Ye Lingyue knew that she was ultimately acknowledged by Ye Wuming because of her exceptional luck, she would probably roll her eyes directly.
Grand Ancestor, that’s hardly reliable.
"Since you are a descendant of our Ye family, and also the only person who awoke before my spiritual power faded, as a Grand Ancestor, I should certainly provide you so benefits." Ye Wuming’s words imdiately piqued Ye Lingyue’s interest.
"Grand Ancestor, did you leave behind any Elixir dicine and Treasure?" In Daxia, being an alchemist is an incredibly lucrative position, especially for Advanced Alchemists, who are typically very wealthy.
"Or perhaps an Ancient Elixir Recipe?"
Ye Wuming shook his head.
"Or maybe dicinal Grass from a divine Earth Treasure?" It was said that martial artists seeking elixirs from alchemists would trade their treasures for elixirs or weapons.
"..."
"Then at the very least, so gold and silver jewelry?" Ye Lingyue felt quite disheartened; her own Grand Ancestor was far too ascetic. Claiming to be Daxia’s number one alchemist more like Daxia’s number one pauper.
Ye Lingyue didn’t know that, three hundred years ago, before participating in the World’s First Forging Competition, Ye Wuming indeed was wealthier than a nation.
However, to win at the competition, he spent a fortune on Five Elents Cauldron and materials to forge the Nine Dragon Chant, not expecting that eventually, he would end up empty-handed and stripped of his reputation.
The bitterness of that experience, Ye Wuming truly did not wish to disclose easily.
Finding himself at a loss for words, Ye Wuming felt extrely awkward.
He muttered to himself about how the Ye family ca to have such a greedy little girl this generation, wondering whom she had taken after.
"I don’t have anything of what you ntioned. However, I can tell you about a thod that doesn’t require reaching the Elixir Realm or Fang Venerate Level, allowing you to absorb the Power of Heaven and Earth’s Five Elents." Ye Wuming pondered, and to salvage so dignity as an ancestor, he decided to share the precious experiences he gained from years of Fang Venerate cultivation with Ye Lingyue.
The so-called Power of Heaven and Earth’s Five Elents consists of the spirits of tal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
These Five Elents Spirits exist in the world but are not perceivable by everyone.
Only those who understand the Five Elents Law can sense them slightly and capture, or even absorb, them.
"The Fire Spirit resides in high-temperature locations, the Water Spirit in humid places, the Earth Spirit in swampy farmlands, the Wood Spirit in lush forests, and the Golden Spirit in mountainous regions. These Five Elents Spirits can all help your Cauldron Soul beco increasingly stronger," Ye Wuming explained enthusiastically.
Ye Lingyue was captivated and eagerly wanted to know about the existence of the Five Elents Spirits.
"However, the Five Elents Spirits are sentient and know how to avoid detection. Also, even the lowest-level Five Elents Spirits are at the level of Elixir Realm or Nine Rank Alchemists. For now, if you encounter any Five Elents Spirits, it’s best to flee as far away as possible." Ye Wuming suddenly changed his tone in mid-sentence.
His words almost suffocated Ye Lingyue.
If not for the respect for her own Grand Ancestor, Ye Lingyue truly wanted to just shout, "Scram!"
Since she couldn’t absorb the Five Elents Spirits at her current stage, what was the point of Grand Ancestor ntioning it? It seed rather unnecessary and redundant.
But those were words Ye Lingyue dared not voice.
Observing Ye Wuming’s spiritual power fading, it was better to let him speak freely.
"However, there is another thod, even if you have not reached the necessary cultivation level, to absorb the Five Elents Spirits. Although the Power of the Five Elents is not as potent as the Five Elents Spirits, accumulating them can still be greatly beneficial. You could find dicinal Grass, or Elental Cores of Spiritual Beasts, demon beasts, and even so Five Elents Items that possess the essence of the Five Elents Spirits," Ye Wuming, sensing Ye Lingyue’s dissatisfaction, coughed and finally proposed a more dependable thod.
dicinal grass, internal cores of spiritual beasts, that was easy to understand.
Ye Lingyue had heard that dicinal Grass or Spiritual Beasts that had reached Third Rank and above could potentially grow a Core, which could be used to replenish Primordial Power and also in Alchemy and Artifact Refining.
Yet, what were these Five Elents Items Grand Ancestor ntioned?
