Chapter 1016: 1016 Gap! (3rd update)

“Master, it seems that the majority of the Crystal Stones from the mine were stolen by a powerful mber of the Ji clan. Now they’re thinking of sharing the leftovers with us, utterly despicable,” the old steward said.

Mu Tianxing’s face was grim. Ever since Ji Changtian left, he had been pondering about the Crystal Stone mine, and whether the Ji clan’s knowledge of it was linked to the person who stole the Crystal Stones.

If it really was the work of the Ji clan, and now they wanted to intervene to take half of the remaining Crystal Stones, it was truly too much.

“Ji Changtian, if you’re going to push like this, don’t bla for setting traps for you in the future,” Mu Tianxing said coldly.

Since there was no way to change the situation, the Mu clan couldn’t afford to clash with the Ji clan over this. Mu Tianxing could only swallow this bitter pill, even though he was extrely unwilling to do so, and had to split the Crystal Stones with the Ji clan equally.

However, this incident sowed a deep rift between the two clans.

The Ji clan’s knowledge of the Crystal Stone mine was naturally Ye Qiu’s doing. With the ambition to overthrow the three ancient clans being a daunting task, Ye Qiu couldn’t think of a feasible solution, until he had a sudden inspiration to use the Crystal Stone mine to incite a strife between the two ancient clans. Once both sides were severely damaged, he would then have the opportunity to strike.

In fact, the developnt of the situation went exactly as Ye Qiu expected, resulting in considerable animosity between the Mu clan and the Ji clan.

The three ancient clans seem high and aloof, detached from worldly matters, but in reality, they still fight each other for profit.

As long as the stakes are high enough, even tearing into each other isn’t an impossibility.

…

The Ji clan and the Mu clan were silently mining the Crystal Stone veins, unbeknownst to anyone except Ye Qiu.

The martial artists on the Mu clan’s side were very dissatisfied with this arrangent. Although the clan leader agreed to split the Crystal Stones evenly with the Ji clan, a senior mber within the clan was quite displeased, as many of them had spent a lot of effort to discover this Crystal Stone mine. Now, with the Ji clan saying they wanted half, frictions inevitably occurred during the mining process between the two clans.

Mu Tianxing turned a blind eye to this and did not interfere much, letting them fool around.

As long as it doesn’t result in fatalities, it’s not a problem.

As a large amount of Grade Four Crystal Stones was being mined, children of the Mu clan received quite a lot of Crystal Stones to aid their cultivation.

As the pride of the Mu clan, ever since erging from the Great Emperor’s tomb, Mu Cannan had been very low-key, focusing solely on cultivation and retreating into seclusion, rarely being seen even within the Mu clan.

Later on, when Ji Lingchen broke through to the Mythical Realm, Mu Cannan said nothing but went into seclusion for a while. When he ca out, he had also reached the Mythical Realm, though no one beyond the clan leader was aware of this.

Mu Tianxing arrived at Mu Cannan’s retreat location.

He handed over thousands of Crystal Stones to Mu Cannan, who was sowhat puzzled and surprised by the amount, wondering why the clan leader would do this.

“Speed up your cultivation. Strive to break the shackles once more. At that ti, the foundation of our Mu clan will be strengthened,” Mu Tianxing said.

“Clan Leader, may I ask what has happened?” Mu Cannan inquired.

“Nothing. Focus on your cultivation. When you run out of Crystal Stones, co find ,” instructed Mu Tianxing as he prepared to leave.

Suddenly, he turned his head back and said, “By the way, you probably don’t know yet, but Ji Lingchen has been defeated.”

What!

Mu Cannan was taken aback. Who had defeated him?

Mu Tianxing said blandly, “That madman Ye Qiu defeated him. This ans he holds Mythical Realm strength. Now you understand why I brought so many Crystal Stones, and this guy even entered the Barbaric Wilderness Forest and ca back alive.”

Mu Tianxing left, leaving Mu Cannan unable to calm his emotions for a long ti.

“I thought my arduous cultivation would allow to surpass you, but it seems you’re still way ahead. Ye Qiu, I, Mu Cannan, will surely defeat you to prove myself.”

…

After the Ji clan slaughtered the assailants, heads rolled, and none of the ancient clans dared to confront the Ji clan.

The strength of the Ji clan was too formidable, not sothing a bunch of re dozens could contend with.

Whether the plan to entrap and kill was devised by the three ancient clans or not, over ti, the matter slowly faded, remaining hidden in the hearts of many.

In the courtyard, the five maids including Jin’er, owed to Crystal Stone pills, made progress in their cultivation as swift as lightning. Under the guidance of Jin Shanshun and Ye Qiu, every one of them showed continuous improvent.

What pleased Ye Qiu most was that after fifteen days of using Crystal Stone pills consistently, Jin’er’s strength skyrocketed to the peak of the True Qi Realm, just one step away from becoming a Legendary Realm martial artist. Even Jin Shanshun couldn’t help but marvel at this speed.

“Don’t envy her. Speaking of cultivation speed, even I’ve been surpassed by this girl Jin’er.” Hearing Ye Qiu’s praise, Jin’er couldn’t help but blush.

“If it weren’t for the Young Master’s rewards, Jin’er wouldn’t have progressed so swiftly. It’s entirely thanks to you, Young Master,” Jin’er said.

Her four sisters, Mu’er, Shui’er, Huo’er, and Tu’er, were all happy for Sister Jin’er.

“Don’t let Sister Jin’er leave you too far behind,” Ye Qiu joked with the girls.

“We won’t disappoint the Young Master,” Mu’er and the others replied in unison.

Watching the five maids grow so rapidly, Ye Qiu was in a great mood.

The progress in Jin Shanshun’s cultivation was also impressive. He had now reached the later stages of the Legendary Realm, and had profound insights into both seizing opportunities and domains, not far from reaching the pinnacle realm.

The five maids required little of Ye Qiu’s concerns now. Compared to the five maids, Shi Da, Shi Er, and the other two’s talents were sowhat lacking, all at the early stages of the True Qi Realm.

However, among them, Shi Da and Shi Er were quite clever and flexible, handling tasks like gathering information or guarding the house without causing Ye Qiu much concern.

Given the dangers involved in frequently gathering information, Ye Qiu taught them a simplified version of the Great Turtle Breath Evasion Technique, significantly enhancing their survival skills. Even if they couldn’t win in a fight, hiding wouldn’t be a challenge.

As to why the complete Great Turtle Breath Evasion Technique wasn’t taught to them, Ye Qiu had his considerations. Firstly, these two had only recently pledged allegiance to him; true character is seen over ti. Besides, Ye Qiu wouldn’t easily allow the top martial arts of the Du Gu clan to be casually spread. Even the five maids were only taught Ye Qiu’s self-created Eagle Snake Xuan Hand along with so techniques acquired from other Mythical Realm martial artists.

Unless soone like Jin’er or Shi Da reached a state like Jin Shanshun’s, Ye Qiu would then consider imparting his true skills.

Moreover, Ye Qiu had to be vigilant whether the techniques he passed down might be recognized by the three ancient clans as belonging to the Du Gu lineage, as it might bring trouble, and so he wouldn’t spread them indiscriminately.

After chatting with everyone for a while, Ye Qiu left the courtyard alone, heading towards Yun Shang Palace.

Having been busy these days, he hadn’t had the chance to visit Yun Shang Palace, and now that he had so free ti, Ye Qiu felt it was the right mont. Besides, he was curious, and wanted to find answers at Yun Shang Palace.
