Descendants of Ye's family
Mò Tiān's heart skipped a beat. He asked: "Where is your home?"
Ye Zhen opened his eyes and looked around in confusion: "My home?"
"Your mundane home."
Although he didn't understand what the master wanted to do, the child still answered honestly: "My home is in Weiguo Tong'an City, Master, have you heard of it?"
"Defending the country and pacifying the city..." Mo Tian hummed a verse, furrowed his brow, as if it was what Second Uncle said. He asked him again: "Do you know of a person named Ye Cheng?"
Ye Zhen's eyes floated with a vague color: "This... seems to be the name of the master, but I'm not very sure..."
Master Ye's grandfather... Second Uncle was the one who moved the Ye family out of Qingmeng Mountain about twenty years ago. At that time, Master Ye Cheng, who remained in the secular world, was over forty years old and only had a very weak Five Spirits Root. He should be over sixty now.
"Tell me about your family, let me hear."
Ye Zhen's eyes flashed with a hint of vigilance: "Master Ancestor, what is it that you wish to hear?"
Mo Tian Ge couldn't see that the child had reservations about her, so she smiled and said: "Is there anything else in your household that I can covet? Just say it."
Ye Zhenji thought for a moment and felt the same way. This Shizu was, after all, an inner disciple of Yuan Yingzong's master. What did his own declining family have that would be worthy of attention? He then asked: "What does Shizu want to know?"
"Just casually speaking, for example, what's your family situation like? Were you also in Kunwu before?"
"Uh-huh." As he mentioned his family's past, Ye Zhenji revealed a smile and proudly said. "My dad said that our family used to be in Kunwu too, and our ancestors even produced many Jiedan cultivators. In the end, there was an uncle who became a Jindan at over 100 years old, and back then, Western Kunwu was famous for it!" As he spoke, a hint of regret appeared on his small face. "But that uncle also fell more than 20 years ago. Our family didn't have many people to begin with, and those with spiritual roots were even fewer, so we declined like this."
"So you're saying your family doesn't have a master anymore?"
"It's not that either..." Ye Zhenji said, tilting his head. "Actually, I'm not sure either. My dad mentioned that at the time, there was another uncle who was a foundation repair monk, and he sent us to the secular world before leaving. However, that uncle is old now, and we haven't had any contact with him for so many years, so we don't know if Uncle is still around or not."
"Didn't your great-uncle leave behind any message tokens?"
"This... I don't know. These are things before I was born, and my dad didn't tell me either."
It's normal for a child not to know about such things. Mo Tian Ge had already made up her mind, so she didn't say anything more. She raised her finger and pricked out a drop of blood, which shot towards the child with a streak of spiritual energy.
"Master, you..." Ye Zhenji was shocked and lost his color, but the words only said half a sentence. This drop of blood had already entered his brow, disappearing without a trace.
Mò Tiān Gē felt that her vital energy had entered his brow, without any obstruction, and easily merged as one. This child... was indeed her blood relative.
"Master...!" Ye Zhen's eyes snapped open, and she stared at her in shock, "What is this..."
Mo Tian Ge looked at this child and was also somewhat surprised. Kun Wu was so big, and Ye's family child happened to come to Xuan Qing Men just in time.
"This is recognizing one's relatives by dripping blood."
"What?!" Ye Zhen was confused, recognizing relatives by dripping blood?
"My pure blood matches with yours perfectly without any rejection, which means you and I are blood relatives."
Ye Zhen's machine completely froze up.
Mò Tiān Gē looked at him: "I don't know what to call you, but the one you mentioned who fell twenty years ago, Uncle Jiě Dān, should be my father."
…………
"Master Aunt, what's this...?" Walking into the side hall of Shangqing Palace, Xiū Qín saw her leading a boy and was stunned.
Ever since she was taught a lesson, the four people of qin, qi, shu and hua became well-behaved. The other twelve people also heard about her methods and restrained themselves a lot, no longer speaking idly in front of her, and their words and deeds restored their respect and courtesy.
Mo Tian Ge gave her a faint glance: "This is my nephew, I brought him here specifically to pay respects to Master."
"Nephew?" Xiū Qín was stunned, could this strange uncle have brought back a nephew just by going to the Meng Xue Tang? But she intelligently didn't say more, bowing her head: "Yes, Master is still in the great hall, Uncle can go pay respects."
"Uh-huh." Without lingering any further, Mo Tian Ge pulled Ye Zhen Ji along and walked around her.
Ye Zhenji was excited, turned his head to look at Xiuchun, and after walking far away, whispered: "Master, you have a lot of face, I saw Jing and the master's uncle who came to our school last time to convey messages, didn't even give us a glance!"
Moyan Song smiled slightly, the master of Mengxue Hall was just an ordinary foundation-building cultivator in the early stages, how could she enter their eyes? They had been by Yuan Ying Zushi's side for a long time, and they didn't even look at ordinary Golden Core cultivators.
Ye Zhenji turned his head to look around, he felt very curious. Since he came to Xuan Qing Men, he had only been to the main peak hall once, and spent all other times in the Meng Xue Tang. Not to mention Yuan Ying Zu Shi's Dong Fu, even ordinary foundation-building masters' Dong Fu, he hadn't seen any of them before.
Looking at his innocent and lively appearance, she couldn't help but laugh. She acknowledged him as her own. This child had been very excited, originally thinking he had no backing and would be bullied by others, but unexpectedly, with a turn of events, he now had a blood relative as his master, and those kids who used to bully him were nothing compared to him. He was so happy that he didn't know what to say. Thinking back to earlier when she explained the situation to the abbot of the monastery, Ye Zhenji had been proudly holding onto his chest, making her both amused and pitiful.
"True Master, you and I are of the same generation, it's not necessary to investigate our seniority. I'm only a dozen years older than you, so just call me Auntie, no need to address me as Ancestor."
"Oh..." Ye Zhenji looked up at her and called out softly, "Auntie."
Momo smiled and patted his head: "Don't be so formal, we're family, it's different from them."
So saying, Ye Zhenji plucked up a bit of courage: "I know. Auntie, can I follow you from now on?"
“…Well, it should be okay. But before that, I need to report to the ancestors.” In fact, Mo Tian Ge was also unsure, her current identity was indeed different. Logically speaking, wanting to take care of a younger generation of blood relatives shouldn't be a big problem, but now she lived in Jinghe Daoren's Dongfu, and this master didn't have any seriousness...it was really hard to say for sure.
"Auntie," Ye Zhenji looked up at her and asked worriedly, "Will this get you into trouble?"
"Huh?" Meng Tian Ge was taken aback. She had just subconsciously furrowed her brow, and this child actually noticed?
"Auntie, if you have any difficulties, don't worry about me, it's okay. Now they all know that you are my aunt. They won't dare to bully me again."
Seeing the child's serious expression, Mo Tian Ge smiled and replied seriously: "You don't need to worry, you'll understand once you've met Master."
"Uh-huh."
As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived at the grand hall.
This Upper Clear Palace, apart from Jing and Dao Jun themselves, only has Shi Nu and her, so there's no need to inform anyone else.
Carrying Ye Zhenji into the grand hall, Mo Tian Ge saw Jing and Dao Jun still reclining on his dragon throne, enjoying the service of female attendants while flipping through an unknown book, muttering to himself.
"Master."
"Ah, you're back. Why did you bring a little guy back today?"
Mo Tian Ge let go of Ye Zhen Ji's hand, and with a glance, the child quickly knelt down and knocked his head: "Ye Zhen Ji has seen Master Ancestor."
"Mogentian said: 'Master, this child is my blood relative. I want to bring him back and teach him personally. Please, Master, grant me permission.'"
"Huh?" Jinghe and Daojun were surprised, only then did they turn their heads around, casually waving at Ye Zhenji to get up, before turning towards Mo Tian Ge, "What's going on? Where did this kid come from?"
Mo Tian Ge patiently explained: "I went to the Meng Xue Tang today, and coincidentally this child was being bullied by others. I happened to rescue him, but unexpectedly, it turned out that this child is from my family in the mortal world."
"Oh? Such a coincidence." Jinghe and Daojun were not interested in these trivial matters, but when they saw Ye Zhenji stand up, they shrank behind Mo Tian Ge, looking timid, and became slightly interested. "Little guy, come here and let the ancestor take a look."
Ye Zhenji looked up at Mo Tian Ge, saw her nod, and then carefully moved to Jing and Dao Jun's side. He had never seen the Yuan Ying ancestor before. So majestic...
"The little guy looks good, just like you." Jing and Daojun said, grabbing Ye Zhenji's wrist. "The talent is a bit poor, three spiritual roots, hmm, fortunately each spiritual root is still okay, building the foundation shouldn't be a problem, with hard work, forming the elixir also has hope."
Ye Zhen's eyes widened. The ancestor said that his qualifications were a bit poor, but he was not sad at all, because the disciples who could enter the Xuanqing Gate had extremely good qualifications. He only had three spiritual roots and could only barely qualify. However, the ancestor said that with hard work, he could condense his dan, which was something he had never thought of before!
"Alright, this small matter, you handle it yourself." Jing He and Dao Jun released Ye Zhenji's hand and lay back down. "You haven't formed your dan yet, you're not qualified to take on a disciple, just keep him by your side for now."
Having obtained permission, Mo Tian Ge was overjoyed: "Thank you, Master."
"Haha, thank me? You've been cursing me behind my back, forget it!" Jing and Daojun waved their hands, "Go."
Exposed in public, Mo Tian Ge didn't feel embarrassed at all. Anyway, it was a fact that this cheap master was disrespecting his elders, so he just bowed and left with Ye Zhen Ji.
"Alright, Master has agreed now, you'll stay with Auntie from now on. I'll try my best to help you, but you must also work hard yourself, got it?"
"Ah!" Ye Zhenji's face turned bright red with excitement, he had actually seen the Yuan Ying Ancestor! He thought for a moment and asked again, "Auntie, do I still need to go to the Wudang Academy in the future?"
"Of course," said Mochen Song, "you haven't finished learning your Taoist scriptures yet, you still have to go - what, don't you want to go?"
"Not, not," Ye Zhenji shook his head repeatedly, revealing a slightly embarrassed smile, and whispered, "Auntie, actually I want to go. Now that I have you, Auntie, Qian An and the others will never dare to bully me again! I just want to see their faces!"
When he said this, Mo Tian Ge lost his smile. As expected, he was still a child, having been bullied in the past and now thinking of turning the tables.
She nodded: "Quickly settling old scores, it's not wrong. However, don't be too obsessed, you know?"
"Uh-huh."
Arriving at Ming Xin Ju, Mo Tian Ge opened the seal, thought for a moment, took out a blank jade plate and engraved an instruction on it, handing it to Ye Zhen Ji: "From now on, use this object to open the defensive formation."
As he walked into Ming Xin Ju, a small spiritual beast pounced over and started chirping, giving Ye Zhen Ji a fright.
Moy Tian Ge said to Ye Zhen Ji, "This is Aunt's spiritual beast, you can call it Xiao Huo. It's very intelligent, its cultivation is equivalent to that of a Qi Refining stage cultivator. In the future, if you have any matters, you can summon it." Then she squatted down and rubbed the head of Lie Huo Beast, "This is Zhen Ji, he is my nephew, in the future treat him as you would me, understand?"
The fierce beast still let out two "squeaks", intimately biting onto Ye Zhenji's hem, only stopping when Ye Zhenji also rubbed its head.
A smile from the stranger in the sky, another jade bottle appeared, and he poured out a few dan Yao pills: "Eat them and go play, you can also go to the back mountain if you want."
The fierce beast's tongue rolled up and swallowed several dan yao, nodded at her, and rushed out of the Ming Xin residence, probably heading to the Ling Shou Yuan in the back mountain.
This fierce beast's cultivation has risen very quickly, since moving to the Upper Clear Palace, Mo Tian Ge let it move about freely, and it often ran to the back mountain to play. Because of the Dong Fu having a ban in place, Mo Tian Ge also followed it.
Carrying Ye Zhenji into the courtyard, Mo Tian Ge introduced him one by one: "This is Aunt's Dongfu, this is the alchemy room, this is the refining tool room, and this is the cultivation room. As for this room, it will belong to you later, if you need anything, just ask the Shifu here, they are the female disciples of the ancestor, and all matters of the Upper Clear Palace are managed by them."
"Alright, Aunt." Ye Zhenji stood in the resting room, carefully examining the exquisite cold jade bed. The room wasn't cluttered with many things, but each item was of high quality, making his eyes widen in amazement.
"Where is your luggage?"
When Mo Tian Ge asked, Ye Zhen took down the Qian Kun bag from his waist and poured out the contents with some embarrassment.
Some clothes, a few Taoist heart methods books, some children's toys, three pieces of spiritual stones, and several bottles with worn-out bodies. Mo Tian Ge opened them to take a look, there were healing pills, as well as nourishing Qi pills, but only two or three pills each. Among them, one nourishing Qi pill seemed to have been nibbled half away.
Ye Zhenji seemed to think that his belongings were too shabby, and his face turned red as he said: "Auntie, when I left home, there was nothing left in the house, only these few things, and Master Ye gave them all to me."
The song of the wild sky, those with a hint of spiritual root in the Ye family are still unwilling to give up, despite staying in the mundane world, they continue to cultivate, and most valuable things are on Second Uncle's body, there wasn't much precious stuff to begin with, it's normal that nothing is left after twenty years.
She thought for a moment, then took out seven or eight jade bottles from her Qiankun bag: "These two bottles are Yangqi Dan, each bottle has 100 pills, you should know how to use them. This is Juqi Dan, also a pill for consolidating the foundation and cultivating Yuan, its effect is more than ten times better than Yangqi Dan, but it's best if you cultivate a bit more before taking it, the medicine is too strong, and your current cultivation level is too low. This is Jingling Dan, every time you take 10 Yangqi Dan, take one to eliminate the poison of the pill. This is Bingqing Wan, used for detoxification, the poisons you've come into contact with should all be eliminated now. This is Buling Dan, when your spiritual energy is exhausted during a battle, taking one can restore a lot of spiritual energy. This is Qingxin Wan, used to calm the mind, if your heart and spirit are not at peace, take one."
Seeing Ye Zhenji's hands shaking as he held the jade bottle, Mo Tian Ge smiled and took out a small cloth bag: "Here are two hundred pieces of spiritual stone. I know that new disciples who have not left the sect yet cannot receive their disciple allowance, so I'll give you these for cultivation purposes."
He had only two pieces of spirit stone on hand, and he couldn't bear to use them even after keeping them for a long time. Now that he suddenly obtained 200 pieces of spirit stone, Ye Zhenji was completely stunned.
But it wasn't over yet, Mo Tian Ge thought for a moment, and then put away the two things. The Jiling Pearl wasn't anything good, but it was left behind by her father, and it had also guided her onto the path of cultivating immortality. She thought about it some more, and then put it away, replacing it with an array she had made herself.
"This is Qingmu Sword, passed down to me by my second uncle. Now I'll pass it on to you. This object has been refined by a Cultivator of the Golden Elixir and is far superior to ordinary spiritual instruments. You must use it well. As for this Spirit Gathering Array, when you cultivate, lay it out around you to increase the density of spiritual energy."
Ye Zhenji was almost stunned as he received these things. Although he was just a new disciple, having entered the Xuanqing Gate also gave him some experience. He had seen spiritual artifacts in the hands of his fellow disciples before, but they were not allowed to take them out of the school, and only those with a background could have them. As for him, a young disciple from the secular world, he could only look on with envy. And this Qingmu sword was obviously a high-grade spiritual artifact, much better than any he had seen before!
"Auntie, this... is so much..."
"You are my kin, so I will naturally give you the best." Wen Yan said this, but Mo Tian Ge's expression turned serious again. "However, you must also remember that the path of cultivation can only be walked by oneself. If you become complacent and stop moving forward, then having many treasures is useless!"
He had just obtained many things, and was suddenly shouted at by Ye Tian's stern voice. Ye Zhenji was startled and jumped up, then came back to his senses and honestly lowered his head: "I know, I will work hard to cultivate, and not disappoint Auntie's expectations."
The child was so well-behaved that Mó Tiān Gē felt very satisfied, and patted his head: "Alright, Auntie is going to cultivate now, you can also cultivate or just get familiar with it first. If there's anything, just call me outside the cultivation room."
"Yes."
Moy Tian Ge turned around and was about to leave, when Ye Zhen Ji hastily called out: "Auntie!"
Mo Tian Ge stopped, seeing Ye Zhen Ji looking at her with a red face, said in a low voice: "I'm hungry."
She was taken aback, and couldn't help but knock on her own head, smiling at him: "Auntie hasn't been near the kitchen for a long time, I forgot you still need to eat. Wait a moment, I'll go call someone to bring you some food."
Returned to the practice room, Mo Tian Ge first sent a message symbol to Xiu Qin, asking her to have someone deliver food every day, and then set up an array to enter the Void Sky Realm.
Standing in the Void Sky Realm, she felt a gentle breeze. She exhaled and instead of immediately entering the small hut to cultivate, she sat down by the stream.
Never thought I'd run into someone from the Ye family...
She had never grown up in the Ye family, so the Ye family only existed in her imagination. However, before Second Uncle passed away, he repeatedly instructed her that if she had the ability in the future, she would take care of the Ye family. Now that she has run into the Ye family's children, it is natural that there is no reason not to take care of them.
The child told her that the Ye family was doing very well in the secular world, and there were still several cultivators in the family. Although their cultivation was lowly, they were not worth mentioning in Kunwu, but they were considered immortal masters by ordinary people. The Ye family quickly gained a foothold in Weiguo with this, and now they are rich and prosperous, and have even become the Marquis of Changning in Weiguo.
Upon hearing this, Mo Tian Ge also felt at ease. In the past, the Ye family was forced to move to the mundane world because, apart from Second Uncle, there wasn't a single true cultivator; even if they had spiritual roots, they were extremely weak five-spirit roots, and relying on dan yao could only barely cultivate up to the second or third layer of Qi Refining. However, this was already sufficient for living in the mundane world, far away from the bloody storms of the cultivation world, and still able to enjoy wealth and glory in the mundane world - what more could one ask for? Even if it were Jing He Dao Jun's mundane family, having produced a Yuan Ying cultivator and a Dan-forming cultivator would only make them an ordinary wealthy family.
The Ye family had also given up, but ten years ago, Ye Zhenji was born and actually measured out three spiritual roots. The Ye family was overjoyed. Later, when the disciples of the Xuanqing Gate were doing things in the mortal world, the master of the Ye family treated them with heavy gold, and Ye Zhenji was able to return to Kunwu and enter a famous school.
These things are just trivial matters, so even Qingyuan Peak's executive hall doesn't know Ye Zhenji's identity and background. Therefore, they didn't report to Jinghe Daojun or Shoujing Zhenren either. Mo Tian Ge naturally had no way of knowing. If it wasn't for coincidence, Jinghe Daojun teased her, Luo Fengxue let her go to the Men's Academy, I'm afraid that by the time she formed a dan and went to the mundane world to fulfill Ye family's second uncle's wish, only then would they know of Ye Zhenji's existence. At that time, if Ye Zhenji had bad luck, she might have grown old already.
Ye Jia spent all his mind to send Ye Zhenji to Xuanqing Gate, one is not willing to waste Ye Zhenji's talent, and the other is afraid that he also has the idea of family prosperity in his heart.
However, Ye Zhen's spiritual roots were only average, and being able to enter a large sect was already quite fortunate. The Ye family didn't have any extravagant hopes. But this way, Mo Tian Ge had an extra thought in mind. After all, the Ye family had only left Kunwu for a few years now, and it seemed they still wanted to return to Kunwu. If they were to find out about his existence, who knows what kind of thoughts they might have.
At this point, Mo Tian Ge made a decision. In that case, she didn't plan to let the Ye family know of her existence for the time being. If they found out, it would inevitably lead to some trouble. Of course, it wasn't that she wanted to keep it hidden forever. When the timing was right, she would return to the Ye family and fulfill Second Uncle's last wish.
But then, it's inevitable to warn the Ye family that without enough high-ranking cultivators, they shouldn't think about returning to Kunwu. The small immortal families in Kunwu were almost wiped out, weren't they? And what about the Yu family of Dan Ding Gate, and several other foundation-building cultivators? They fell so far after just one disaster, it's unknown if they can hold on. It's better to enjoy the glory and wealth of the mundane world instead. If a talented descendant with a good spiritual root appears, she will naturally lend a hand.
Shaking his head, he put these things behind him. Mo Tian Ge stood up and returned to the small hut in Xū Tiān Jìng, preparing to cultivate.
Ye Zhenji has not yet finished reciting the scriptures, and there is still a long way to go. When the time comes, she will give some more dan yao and ask Master to help again. It seems that building the foundation should be no problem, and maybe even forming the elixir is very promising. This can also be considered as making amends for the Ye family.
After making up his mind, Mo Tian Ge sat down, sank his breath into his dantian and began today's cultivation.
