“Are we done yet?” Ye Yingyuan already sleepy because he used his energy to solely focused and followed Manstein to read a few dozens of scroll.

“Almost. I think I understand the structure of social, economy, culture and many more. Say, do you really want to become a cultivator?” asked Manstein.

As far as he knew, cultivator was a term used to someone who cultivate the energy of heaven and earth. But martial artist was a term used to someone who trained their physique and their weapon skill, whether used cold weapons or barehanded.

“Of course. Because father said that every cultivator who had a descendant, their ddescendant had a higher chance to become a cultivator.” Explained Ye Yingyuan.

Manstein remembered about something and then asked another question. “Is it regarding to the Spiritual Root?”

“Mm, right. Father said that this Spiritual Root is an important factor to become a cultivator.”

“Then, do you know another criteria?” Manstein had an idea to become a cultivator himself but before that he need a vessel, a temporary place for him to stay.

“Don’t know. Anyway, you said that you need my help to move you to a vessel but I don’t have anything to make that.” Said Ye Yingyuan that raised his shoulders.

“Do you have an old armor or something that let me stay inside? Any object would do and if you have time, tell your father about our encounter, okay.” Manstein could not let this boy shouldered his responsibility after all.

Meanwhile at the Patriarch Bedroom.

Several servant stood beside Ye Canghai and Ye Guhan. Currently they kneeled before the long bearded old man and then they greeted him.

“Ah..you already at Nascent Soul stage?” Patriarch asked Ye Canghai with a surprised tone. “Yes, I am. This descendant recently broke through to the Nascent Soul in his cultivation and now stabilizing its base.”

His wife, Yu Feng also greeted the Patriarch following her husband. Then Ye Guhan also said, “This is my fault! If only that son of mine was filial...”

Ye Canghai then remembered that Ye Guhan did not come with his son. Because the condition of the Patriarch when he arrived, he had forgotten to ask this.

The old man lied in his own bed, his skin was so full of deep crimson color and his soul also had taken damage as well. “I think it’s our fault for neglecting hi in the first place.”

“But why you are included in that too, Patriarch Ye Shui?” Ye Guhan protested.

“Because I also ignored him once! For me it was just a small matter but maybe to him it could become his important matter!” retort Ye Shui.

“Canghai, actually it went like this....”

Ye Guhan then explained about his son that recently learned a certain demonic art. Actually that was of no concern in this part because every cultivator had their own art to unleashed their ability but then his son started to acting strange.

The first notable change was when he asked the patriarch, Ye Shui to permit him to use the Violetblood Stone to his own usage. Usually it was used at regular interval and the amount was small.

But the amount he asked was so huge that you could stack it to form a little hill. The usage of this stone was to increase the power in the weapon and also, the power of the treasure!

“I also intrigued by this so I used my own Core Power to leave a probing mark on his body. From there on, I saw that he bought a lot of spirit powder....”

Spirit Powder is also an important thing in the world of cultivation. It was because this powder played a vital role in increasing cultivators power in unleashing their technique. Different from Violetblood Stone, Spirit Powder was considered one of the most cheap material that you could find even in the rural area.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

“Spirit Powder and Violetblood Stone then don’t tell me your son...started to act like a mad man?” Ye Canghai doubt that first because he knew that this matter was not simple!

“You know? Do you also know the name of his cultivation art?” Ye Guhan asked with expectation. Never he guesed that his older brother had known this cultivation because another cultivator he met imformed him about someone with similiar case.

Ye Canghai nodded. “I predicted that he currently reached the third layer of Battle Frenzy cultivation art. This art required the energy in the body to go into chaos in order to increase cultivation. This is one of the most dangerous art and also one of the fastest to increase your cultivation.”

From his description, even the most dangerous art could be practiced as long as the benefit in it exist. Ye Canghai then gestured with his hand and ordered the servants to bring him the item that he told.

“Then what should we do?” at this time, Ye Shui as the patriarch of the family could not afford to help them because of his illness.

“This is the result when he attacked Patriarch, right? To use Battle Frenzy cultivation art combined with the Devil Palm made its way to the Patriarch body, made him unable to....”

Suddenly this pair of brother, Ye Canghai and Ye Guhan felt a sense of crisis inside their heart. Even Yu Feng then asked, “What’s wrong!?”

-

“Done! We did it. I told you we can do this right, and you still don’t believe me.” Manstein completed his own information processing and now he could have told the general knowledge in this world.

To survive, one needs to adapt to any situation! This also embedded deep in Manstein’s heart and he never forgot his grandfather stories and advice.

Ye Yingyuan’s eyes were bloodshot because Manstein had to read so many scrolls and this made his day really hard.

Then Ye Qingcheng came and said, “Little Yuan, why are you bring so many scrolls here? I thought that you don’t like it?”

The thing that he really found strange this day was his own younger brother screening through dozens of scroll when you obviously know that he never like it.

‘Now what’s your reply?’ Manstein did not give Ye Yingyuan anything, even he laughed inside for this event.

“I just gained a bit of interest in my surroundings and what I mean ‘my surroundings’, it refered to this town, this state that we resides in and many things about the current situation.” Even Ye Yingyuan forced himself to stare at his brother’s eyes to show that what he did was for this purpose.

‘....but the ‘I’ in the sentence should be go to you, Manstein.’ Added Ye Yingyuan inside. Of course Manstein heard that too and said only a sentence of reply, ‘What a smartass.’

Manstein thought that this little boy only slightly more intelligence than the other but look at the answer he had gave to his brother!

In fact, Ye Qingcheng received a silent transmission from his father at that time when Ye Canghai left them. He then bided his time to seperate from his brother before he probed them.

‘Father said that an unknown soul was attached to Little Yuan and I as his older brother must watched over him with more attention. So it looks like what father said was true.’ Ye Qingcheng then turned silent.

Then he said, “Okay, but Little Yuan you must return the scrolls to the original place because now its our turn to enter the chamber.”

Ye Yingyuan nodded quickly and then collected those scrolls before he return it to the original place.

But at the same time in the Ye Residence front gate, five black robed person standing in the front of the guards. One of them then walked to one of the guards.

The person then asked, “Is this really that Ye Residence?”

The guard that the person had been asked suddenly felt a chill in his entire body. The person in front of him released a chaotic energy and caused the guard to become alert.

“This is Ye Residence. What business do you have here?” even if the guard became alert, they also could not ignore those five person in front of them.

“Our business here...is to visit your Patriarch. You all know that Patriarch of the Ye Family, Ye Shui already lived for almost five hundred years and became one of the public figure that people admired. Can we enter please?”

The person then spoke formally and then part of his face revealed to the guard. “You...isn’t you the son of Ye Guhan...”

Before he finished his sentence, that person instantly disappeared right in front of them! But after that he only saw that his body went limp and something stucked at his chest!

That was the last thing he saw and after that his body fell to the ground. Then after that the black robed person already passed ten guards because they were incapable to stop him.

These ten also felt something in their neck and then their head was seperateed from their body and blood flowed out like a little fountain.

“Surprisingly, after just a week of cultivating in this art I can move this fast!” the person in black robe then opened his robed, revealing his figures and face.

His clothes was neat and have a color pattern that formed a demonic face. But the most obvious sign from him came from his eyes because it was black. His eyes were a kindd of black that did not reflect any light that come into it.

Not only that but actually in his hands, he held a pair of dagger with decorative blade.

“Are you happy only with your current strength? You just saw a tip of an iceberg so there’s more to you to learn.” One of the black robe then talked to him.

“Really? Then you need to help me after I finished my business with my family here!”

-

“Mother!” the two brothers then met and hugged their mother. Manstein had seen some of this view in his world but never this close.

“You two really grow so fast. Come and sit here.” As a mother, Yu Feng then prepared their place and then Ye Yingyuan and Ye Qingcheng followed after.

“Mother, I want to know what happen to father and Uncle Ye Guhan?” suddenly Ye Qingcheng noticed that their father and uncle did not present.

“That..” but when Yu Feng tried to explained the circumstance, a guard came and then yelled loudly. It was so loud that all of the people in the chamber were covering their ear.

After that, another blood fountain formed from that guard and five figures appeared at the top of the corpse. No one paid attention to it anymore as they focused their attention to these figures.

“Ah, looks like we come in too early.” Exclaimed one of them.

But what surprising everyone was the teen who held a pair of dagger in his hands. “Ah, my family. Sorry my visit caused an unwanted commotion here but please hand over the treasure!”

He had done all of this while smiling. He then added, “Are you all still doubt me!? Because my cultivation power only at the Foundation Establishment stage is that true!?”

Everyone just rooted themselves in their places. Yu Feng aware that these people here wanted Ye family treasure but the first thing she worried  of course her own children.

Someone among them then used a complicated gestured and then a sound could be heard through the entire residence.

“You wanted to activate the Interceptor Nascent Formation right? Too bad that your Patriarch now is unable to release even a bit of his strength.” Said the man who wield the dagger.

“Ye Xiaobai, why are you doing all of this?” at last because of his remark and sudden appearance, Ye Qingcheng was the one who asked this question.

‘Is that your cousin?’ Manstein could see the figure of this teen. He really had a handsome face but the problem was his eyes were too dark, too dark!

“Yes, Manstein. My cousin is really a strange person when it came to cultivation.” Ye Yingyuan was slowly said those words in his mind.
