Chapter 10

Ye Jiangchuan must take a look! After all, even a fool knows that he must choose the *Zhan Qingyun* technique, which is a refined cultivation method. Most of the disciples who leave the Ye family have cultivated *Zhan Qingyun*. However, Ye Jiangchuan needs to take a good look. What if it’s like the *Yishan Huan Yue Jue* and he finds another hidden treasure?

He slowly activated the *Trace Origin* technique and began to investigate. Without using divine sense to transmit the method, just by looking at the jade slip, Ye Jiangchuan could still trace the origin.

"*Niumo Dali Quan*—Ye family cultivation inheritance, ordinary level cultivation method, basic body-strengthening fist technique. This method is complete and does not need modification. Its achievements are limited, and it has no cultivation value. It is not recommended for cultivation."

In just a dozen breaths, he had seen through one secret technique. Ye Jiangchuan shook his head and continued, hoping to find a hidden treasure this time.

Another dozen breaths, and he saw through another.

"*Tiezhang Kaishan*—Ye family cultivation inheritance, ordinary level cultivation method, basic body-strengthening palm technique. This method is complete and does not need modification. Its achievements are limited, and it has no cultivation value. It is not recommended for cultivation."

"*Zhuifeng Zanyue Dao*—Ye family cultivation inheritance, ordinary level cultivation method, basic body-strengthening saber technique. This method is complete and does not need modification. Its achievements are limited, and it has no cultivation value. It is not recommended for cultivation."

Then came *Canglong Jianbu*.

This took longer, a full hundred breaths.

"*Canglong Jianbu*—Ye family cultivation inheritance, ordinary level cultivation method, basic body-strengthening sword technique, and basic body-strengthening stepping technique. This method is complete and has cultivation value. It can be cultivated."

Ye Jiangchuan let out a long breath, finally finding one that could be cultivated. He looked at the last one, *Yuxiang Qian Di*, but there was a problem. It remained unclear for a long time.

After three quarters of an hour, Ye Ruoting had finished breakfast, but Ye Jiangchuan still couldn’t see through *Yuxiang Qian Di*. He let out a long breath, realizing he had found a treasure!

"Still not done? I don’t have time to dawdle. Which one do you choose?"

Ye Jiangchuan pointed at *Yuxiang Qian Di* and said, "This one!"

"This? It’s just a stepping technique, and there’s no subsequent method in the family. No one has cultivated it in recent years. You choose it?"

Ye Jiangchuan firmly said, "This one!"

"Ah, a fool is still a fool!"

"Alright, alright!"

With that, Ye Ruoting activated the jade slip containing *Yuxiang Qian Di* and transmitted the method to Ye Jiangchuan. The transmission process was long, and Ye Ruoting suddenly said:

"*Yuxiang Qian Di* and *Yishan Huan Yue Jue*, maybe you’re not as foolish as you seem."

"Or maybe a fool has a fool’s luck?"

"Many years ago, these two methods were the main cultivation methods for the Ye family disciples. But 230 years ago, our family suffered a great calamity, and 80% of the clan’s elites died. Many of our traditions were lost, including the auxiliary cultivation methods for these techniques, making them difficult to cultivate."

Ye Ruoting, being old, liked to chatter.

"3,700 years ago, the Ice Mirror Ancestor of the Taiyi Sect’s Cai Xu Mansion destroyed the mountain giant and opened the Iron Ridge City. Among his disciples, Gong, Zhao, Wang, Tie, and Ye made great contributions. The ancestor rewarded the five disciples with the Iron Ridge City to guard and gave them the five treasures of the Chaos Dao Chess. Gong had the Palace of Agriculture, Zhao the Forest, Wang the Wilderness, Tie the Rich Man, and Ye the Fisher. These are the origins of the five clans of Iron Ridge. Our Ye family was originally called the Fisher Ye. We had the Chaos Dao Chess treasure, which could provide endless fish. The other clans, Gong, Zhao, Wang, and Tie, also had treasures from the ancestor, each gaining countless resources. At that time, the five clans of Iron Ridge were very prosperous, and many clan members joined the Taiyi Sect. Later, the Ice Mirror Ancestor entered the cycle of rebirth, and the Cai Xu Mansion fell apart. Without the ancestor’s protection, the treasures given by the ancestor to our five families attracted the covetous eyes of other great powers in the Taiyi Sect. Zhao, Wang, and Tie immediately submitted and handed over their treasures. The Gong family, which controlled Iron Ridge, refused to hand over their Palace of Agriculture. Our Ye family swore to follow the Gong family and also refused. However, our ancestors feared something might happen, so they had someone hide the treasure in our Baiqi Village. This place, poor and desolate, with no spiritual energy, should be safe. But 230 years ago, a calamity struck, and the Gong family was completely wiped out. Hiding here was no use. Our Ye family’s treasure was also stolen during the calamity, and 80% of our clan members died. Many traditions were lost, and the name Fisher Ye was forgotten!"

Ye Ruoting was filled with endless emotion, reminiscing about the Ye family’s former glory. At this point, the transmission of the cultivation method to Ye Jiangchuan was complete, and he held his head, feeling a bit dizzy.

"Alright, alright, let’s go home!"

"Remember, when you advance to the fifth level of body-strengthening, you can come back and choose another cultivation method."

"If you want to cultivate *Zhan Qingyun*, you must first cultivate *Canglong Jianbu*. That’s the rule!"

With that, Ye Ruoting sent Ye Jiangchuan away. After returning home, Ye Jiangchuan continued to use the *Trace Origin* technique to perceive *Yuxiang Qian Di*.

This perception lasted for three days and three nights. Apart from eating and sleeping, he was in a daze, motionless, like a fool. On the fourth day, as the sun rose, a ray of sunlight entered the room, and Ye Jiangchuan finally understood.

"*Yuxiang Qian Di*—Ye family cultivation inheritance, extraordinary level cultivation method..."

Ye Jiangchuan suddenly stood up, greatly surprised. Above the refined level is the extraordinary level, above the extraordinary level is the Great Dao, and above the Great Dao is the Heavenly Constitution! This *Yuxiang Qian Di* is actually an extraordinary inheritance. How is this possible?

Extraordinary to sainthood, unheard of!

"*Yuxiang Qian Di* was originally a Heavenly Constitution level technique, *Youjian Wujian Kongmo Zhan*, selected and simplified by a great power, thus falling from the Heavenly Constitution level to the extraordinary level. However, *Yuxiang Qian Di* can be combined with eight other similar techniques to form a super divine technique, *Qinyuan Chun*. This method is highly recommended for cultivation and can be used as a core cultivation method!"

Ye Jiangchuan was incredibly excited. He had found another treasure, and this must be cultivated! In fact, it wasn’t really finding a treasure, but rather the Ye family’s ancestral inheritance had been lost, and the treasure was treated as waste. He immediately began to carefully study *Yuxiang Qian Di*. The reason why the Ye family’s descendants found it difficult to cultivate was the loss of important auxiliary conditions during cultivation.

*Yuxiang Qian Di* has two auxiliary cultivation conditions: *Youjian* and *Wujian*.

*Youjian* means that when starting to cultivate this method, one must do so in a very small, enclosed environment. This condition was known by most of the Ye family’s ancestors, so it was not recorded in the secret technique. However, they all died, and this basic cultivation condition was lost. Later generations who obtained the secret technique did not know this condition. *Yuxiang Qian Di* is a basic stepping technique, and normally, people would choose to cultivate in an open field. No one would think that the first step in cultivating this method must be in a small, enclosed space, so no one in the Ye family could cultivate it.

After *Youjian*, comes *Wujian*.

*Wujian* means one must choose an endless space. This endless space is not just an open area; *Trace Origin* deduced that the best place is in a river or sea. Rivers and seas have continuous flow and vast areas. The water has substance, and the boundaries are endless. Cultivating in the water meets the definition of *Wujian*. Only by cultivating in these two spaces, *Youjian* and *Wujian*, can one truly master *Yuxiang Qian Di*.

Ye Jiangchuan smiled. Fortunately, he had the *Trace Origin* technique. Now that he knew, he would cultivate it. His residence, a small brick house, was narrow and enclosed, with no cabinets, making it perfect for cultivation.
