"Speaking of which, the current Empress of Xuanqing is also a Cultivator. That female cultivator is from a vassal family of our Ye family. She was born beautiful since she was young, but because her spirit root is only a five-element pseudo spirit root, she is very beautiful. Therefore, she eventually chose to marry the current Emperor of Xuanqing. At that time, this matter caused a sensation in the family. After all, it was very rare to see a cultivator marry a mortal.”Ye Changchang told him an interesting story.
Ye Changsheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. A cultivation good-for-nothing with a five-element pseudo spirit root actually used the word 'marry down' when she married a mortal emperor.
This chain of contempt was really thorough.
The two of them chatted all the way and soon arrived at the banquet hall.
At this moment, in the main hall of the Nine-Five Hall, the Emperor of Xuanqing was standing respectfully at the side to welcome them.
Accompanying the emperor were several royal heirs and many concubines.
"Ye Liuyun, a junior of the Ye family, greets the immortal elders.”When Emperor Ye Liuyun saw them, he quickly bowed.
Ye Changchang took a step forward and continued,""The person you're meeting is the core direct descendant of our Ye family, Ye Changsheng. He's also the grandson of the patriarch of the Ye family. Don't neglect it, understand?"
"It's actually young clan leader's honor to personally come. Young Clan Leader, please take a seat."
The Emperor, Ye Liuyun, was overjoyed when he heard that. He quickly turned around and led Ye Changsheng to his seat.
Ye Changsheng's seat was placed at the head of the banquet.
After welcoming them to their seats, Ye Liuyun gestured for the palace maids to serve the dishes on the table.
After Ye Liuyun's introduction, Ye Changsheng learned that the empress with the five-element pseudo-spirit root was also present.
He carefully sized her up and found that this female cultivator was indeed beautiful.
At least in terms of appearance, he wasn't much inferior to Yan Yu and Qing Yu.
Unfortunately, the environment in the mortal world was obviously not conducive to cultivation.
Now, the empress's cultivation was only at the second level of Qi Refining. In other words, she could not even defeat the ten-year-old Ye Shengyun.
A group of royal family members accompanied Ye Changsheng to his seat. A few younger royal family members were so nervous that they did not dare to sit down.
Seeing this, Ye Changsheng could only say,""We're all members of the Ye family. There's no need to be so formal. Relax and take a seat.”
"Young Clan Leader, please don't blame me. This is the first time these juniors are meeting a celestial clan, so it's inevitable that they are a little nervous.”
"What is the reason for your grand reception?”Ye Changsheng asked bluntly.
As the saying goes, if you are polite to others, you must have something to ask for.
No matter how much the Emperor of Xuanqing respected the cultivators of the Ye family, there was no need for him to make such a big fuss.
Ye Liuyun could not help but feel awkward when he heard Ye Changsheng's question.
However, at this moment, he didn't dare to show off any tricks in front of the self-cultivators.
He could only answer honestly,"I dare not hide it from Young Clan Leader. I do have a request." This matter concerns one of my daughters."
"Nan Nan, come over quickly." Ye Liuyun called over a five-year-old girl from his children.
"Nan Nan greets Immortal Master." The little girl walked forward and bowed to Ye Changsheng obediently.
"Young Patriarch, this is my daughter, Ye Buhui. She is the daughter of the Empress and I. She has just turned five this year.”
"Oh?" Ye Changsheng glanced at him and immediately understood Ye Liuyun's intentions.
"Is it because of the Spirit Testing?"
"It's true. It's only been two years since the last Spirit Testing Conference. If I wait until the next Spirit Testing Conference, I'm afraid I'll miss the opportunity to cultivate. That's why I shamelessly want to beg the young clan leader to show mercy and give my daughter a chance.”
"Among mortals, only one in ten thousand have the aptitude to develop spiritual roots. How did you determine that she has the qualifications to cultivate?”Ye Changsheng asked curiously.
At this moment, the Empress took the initiative to step forward and answer,""Immortal Master, this is a secret technique that I obtained by chance. To use this secret technique, you don't need to use a side spirit stone to test whether a person has the aptitude for spirit roots. However, this secret technique could only test whether a spirit had a spirit root, but not the specific attributes of the spirit root.”
Ye Changsheng's expression changed when he heard the Empress's reply.
Even Ye Changchang and Ye Changxi's expressions became serious.
One had to know that the arrangement of the side spirit stones was a very complicated matter. Moreover, each spirit test required a lot of spirit stones.
Otherwise, the main branch of the Ye family would not have to undergo the test every three years. As for the mortal world's Ye family, they used a ten-year system.
If the secret technique that the empress mentioned could really tell whether a person had a spiritual root or not, then it was impossible for the empress to tell.
This was of great significance to the Ye family.
"Is this true? Where did you get this secret technique?" Ye Changsheng said with a serious expression.?
Emperor Ye Liuyun quickly reported,""I don't dare to hide it from Young Clan Leader. This secret technique was given to me by the Emperor of Zhou Wu. According to him, this secret technique was found in a hidden copper box when he accidentally went through the national treasury. In addition to the records of this secret technique, there was also a strange treasure map in the copper box.”
"Because there are words about the immortals recorded on it, he didn't dare to make a decision on his own and gave it to me. And because the Empress could read the immortal language, she learned the secret technique on it.”
"Is that copper box still with you?"
"Yes, yes." Ye Liuyun nodded and immediately signaled the eunuch to bring the copper box over.
Ye Changsheng nodded in satisfaction when he saw how tactful Ye Liuyun was.
"If that secret technique is really useful, I can give you a promise. Not only can you send your youngest daughter directly to the main branch of the family. In the future, once your children are confirmed to have the aptitude for spiritual roots, you can directly contact the people in the Imperial Advisor's Estate to send them to the Ye Family.”
"Is it really possible?" Ye Liuyun was overjoyed. He could not believe that there was such a good thing.
The Ye family in the mortal world conducted a spirit test every ten years, but only five-year-old children were recruited for each spirit test.
Therefore, many royal heirs would miss such a great opportunity.
Although the royal family had some ordinary cultivation techniques in their collection. As long as one had a spirit root, they could still cultivate these cultivation techniques even if they missed the Spirit Testing Conference.
However, compared to the clan grounds that had a dedicated elder to guide them, this kind of cultivation that was groping alone was undoubtedly much more difficult. Even in his entire life, he could barely cultivate to the early stage of Qi Refinement.
"As long as the secret art is real, my promise is also real. However, I have to remind you of one thing. You can let the Empress secretly test the secret technique, but you must never leak it. Otherwise, it will bring you a disaster.”
"Yes, I understand." Ye Liuyun's expression changed. Clearly, he was also frightened.
However, he was the ruler of a country after all. After the shock, he quickly calmed down.
Moreover, he knew what he should ask and what he should not ask. Therefore, he did not continue to ask why he could not reveal this secret technique.
