Chapter 363

Chapter 363: What? You too…

The woman holding the child came to Ye Jian and, following Ye Jian’s instructions, placed one of the child’s hands on the crystal ball.

Ye Jian cast a spell.

In the next moment, the crystal ball erupted with a dazzling green light.

Seeing the bright light, everyone opened their eyes wide.

“Not bad, it’s a top-grade wood spirit root.”

Ye Jian smiled and nodded.

Upon hearing this, the woman holding the child and a young man beside her immediately rejoiced.

These two were the child’s parents; could they also be Ye Jian’s grandchildren?

“Next, let Dundun come.” Ye Jian smiled and waved at a three-year-old child.

Soon, the three-year-old placed his hand on the crystal ball as well.

As Ye Jian cast the spell again, the crystal ball burst forth with blinding light once more, this time in red.

“Top-grade fire spirit root, very good…”

“Next…”

“Exceptional water spirit root…”

“Top-grade gold-wood spirit roots…”

“Top-grade earth spirit roots…”

As Ye Jian continued to test several people, she suddenly sensed something was off.

She realized that all the younger generation she was testing actually had spirit roots, and they were all top-grade spirit roots.

As Ye Jian kept testing, the looks of the tribe members toward her began to change.

Many started to suspect that their ancestor might be showing favoritism, as other tribe members only found a few low-level spirit roots after testing hundreds of people.

Yet when it came to her own descendants, each one was a top-grade spirit root.

So they had reason to doubt that the ancestor might have great selfishness.

Ye Jian also noticed the gazes and subtle expressions of the tribe members, which made her frown.

She had previously mentioned that her resources were given to her by ancestors of the Ye family, and now, every one of her lineage tested positive for spirit roots while the other branches had only a few low-level spirit roots among hundreds of people.

Anyone in this situation would start to suspect whether Ye Jian favored her own branch of the family.

This circumstance troubled Ye Jian as well.

After pondering for a moment, she put the crystal ball away and addressed everyone, “The testing crystal may have broken, so today’s testing results do not count. Here’s what we’ll do: I will teach everyone the cultivation techniques and then distribute a spirit stone to each person. Those who have spirit roots will naturally be able to cultivate true Qi…”

For the unity of the family, Ye Jian had to declare that the test results were invalid.

She had not expected that all her descendants would have spirit roots.

Since this was the case, she would say the testing results were good, teach everyone the cultivation techniques, and give each person a spirit stone to practice with.

In such circumstances, anyone who could not cultivate would simply not have spirit roots.

Hearing Ye Jian’s words, everyone smiled.

Since the testing results were inaccurate, it meant that they likely had spirit roots; it was just that the testing crystal was broken and could not detect them.

“Okay, everyone, come here to receive your spirit stones, and then I will begin explaining the cultivation techniques to you,” Ye Jian told everyone.

Soon, everyone received a thumb-sized superior grade spirit stone.

Ye Jian wanted to give low-grade spirit stones, but she only had superior grade spirit stones.

After spending more than a decade in seclusion, she had traded all her opportunities for superior grade spirit stones.

Currently, she possessed over one hundred and twenty thousand superior grade spirit stones.

“Next, I will explain the cultivation technique called the Human Emperor’s Immortal Sutra: Qi Training Edition. Make sure to remember and learn it well…”

Then, Ye Jian began to teach all the tribe members.

The Human Emperor’s Immortal Sutra: Qi Training Edition may seem only a Qi Training guide, but it contained a wealth of fundamental knowledge about cultivation.

It took Ye Jian half a month to finish teaching the content of the Human Emperor’s Immortal Sutra: Qi Training Edition to everyone.

The main reason was that her tribe members were all ordinary people, and their learning speed was too slow.

Next, she needed to guide the tribe members in their cultivation.

Ye Jian stayed in the square without leaving, treating everyone equally.

She did not show favoritism toward her own descendants, which everyone noticed.

However, half a month later, most of those who successfully cultivated true Qi were still Ye Jian’s descendants.

Additionally, a few tribe members who had their spirit roots detected earlier also cultivated true Qi, but their speed was starkly different compared to Ye Jian’s descendants.

As for the others, they never managed to cultivate any true Qi.

At that moment, everyone understood that they truly did not have spirit roots, while Ye Jian’s descendants indeed had them.

“No wonder the ancestor suddenly stopped the spirit root tests that day. We wronged her; her descendants truly have spirit roots!”

Many elders from other branches couldn’t help but admire.

A month later, Ye Jian’s teaching mission finally concluded.

In the Ye family, aside from infants and young children who didn’t understand, everyone with spirit roots had cultivated true Qi.

While Ye Jian was teaching her tribe members, outside Li Hua Village, some people were anxiously pacing back and forth.

These people were naturally related to the Ye family.

For example, some of Ye Jian’s married daughters were extremely anxious at that moment.

More than a month ago, many had discovered that Li Hua Village had disappeared; they walked along the road leading to Li Hua Village only to find themselves emerging from the other side.

It was as if Li Hua Village had never existed.

This situation quickly caused great concern among those connected to Li Hua Village.

They didn’t know that Ye Jian had set up formations; they only knew that Li Hua Village had vanished and their relatives there had also disappeared.

Until this day, many discovered that Li Hua Village had reappeared.

The news swiftly spread to the surrounding villages.

Soon, countless people related to Li Hua Village hurried over.

Among them were Ye Jian’s daughters.

“Mother, you’re still alive! That’s great!”

“Grandma, I miss you so much! Where have you been all these years?”

Upon learning that Ye Jian was still alive and had returned to her youthful self, the surrounding villages were soon in an uproar.

However, everyone quickly realized that Ye Jian was an Immortal.

More than a decade ago, she hadn’t actually died; she had gone into a fake death to leave the Ye family.

Moreover, the Ye family had not hidden the fact that their members were cultivating.

Those connected to the Ye family were also tested for spirit roots by Ye Jian.

For instance, Ye Jian discovered that several of her daughters, as well as their children and grandchildren, all possessed spirit roots, and all of them were at least top-grade spirit roots.

Seeing this, Ye Jian immediately brought her daughters and their descendants back to the Ye family.

From now on, they would be members of the Ye family.

Under Ye Jian’s identity as a cultivator, the families of her daughters had no objections.

Being able to cultivate alongside an Immortal was worth far more than changing one’s affiliation.

Regarding the fact that all her descendants had top-grade spirit roots, Ye Jian shared this news with her friend Ling’er.

Ling’er was a friend Ye Jian met in the group chat.

Over the years, Ye Jian had made many friends in the group, and Ling’er was the one she connected with the most.

“What? Your descendants all have top-grade spirit roots?”
