“Dad, is that you?”

The voice of Ye Jintian came from the mouth of the cave. Ye Fan put away his thoughts and walked out.

Soon, he saw Ye Jintian, Ye Jinhai, and several servants of the Ye Family.

“From now on, this red iron mine is ours. Little Hai, you’re in charge of finding people to mine it.”

“Move everything inside these caves back to the Ye Family.”

Clearing up was not a job for Ye Fan.

The Ye family was severely understaffed and needed a large number of recruits.

However, the benefits far outweighed the expenditure.

If the red iron ore was fully exploited, it could bring about a thousand taels of income to the Ye family each month.

Along with Ye’s Pharmacy, they could finally balance their income and even save a bit.

Returning home, he chose to receive the second phase reward from the family armory.

“Congratulations, Host, on receiving the reward: Ten Years of Swordsmanship insights.”

The rewards of the family armory seemed to all be related to martial arts training.

Now that he had already mastered knife techniques, gaining insights into swordsmanship was better than having nothing at all.

The next morning, Ye Fan gathered everyone from the Ye Family.

He took out two cultivation manuals and let everyone choose.

Among the Postnatal Realm techniques, those that included body forging were available. Instead of transitioning after reaching the Peak of Body Forging, it would be better to transition now.

The better the technique, the faster the cultivation speed.

Everyone unanimously chose to practice Mysterious Yuan Jue and gave up Nine Forged Golden Body.

This result was something Ye Fan had already anticipated.

Body-forging martial artists were significantly fewer in number compared to regular martial artists.

If there was even one body-forging martial artist among a hundred Postnatal martial artists, that would be quite something.

Ye Fan didn’t force everyone to learn the Nine Forged Golden Body, even though he was quite looking forward to the effects of it after synthesis.

It seemed that this technique would have to be set aside for now, waiting for someone predestined to come by.

Next, what they had to do was to wait for the birth of the first Postnatal Realm martial artist in the Ye family.

Ye Fan was really looking forward to the reward for the second phase of the family martial artist.

Soon, the red iron ore began to be mined, providing a large income for the Ye family every month.

This silver was then converted into resources by Ye Fan and invested into the clan’s cultivation, forming a virtuous circle. The cultivation speed of the family members was getting faster and faster.

Puff!

A furnace of elixirs turned into black char.

After reaching the Postnatal Realm, Ye Fan began to try refining elixirs with True Qi.

After using True Qi, the quality of the Hundred Ginseng elixir finally reached the normal lower grade.

But he just couldn’t refine a Hundred Ginseng elixir of better quality.

Ye Fan could feel that the conduction of True Qi through the pill furnace was very obscure.

The alchemy experience of the cultivation world could not be converted into the experience of True Qi refinement, causing Ye Fan’s alchemy skill to stagnate.

How do other alchemists achieve more perfect integration of medicinal properties?

Just as Ye Fan was about to try again, an excited voice rang out, “Dad, I’m going to be a dad, I’m going to be a dad.”

Slap!

“Bastard! Whose dad are you going to be!”

Ye Fan glared at Ye Jintian. How could he be so unsteady at his age?

“Dad, I’m not going to be your father, I’m going to be a father.”

At these words, Ye Fan didn’t care about Ye Jintian’s cheeky behavior anymore, but was completely focused on the news that Ye Jintian had just shared.

Jia Lu was pregnant, he was going to be a grandfather.

“Congratulations Host: Long-term task, family member II: Full House (completed) can be received.”

Ye Fan didn’t even care to look at the system reward, and dashed out like a gust of wind.

Soon, he saw Su Yan with a happy face, holding a little one.

“My husband, come and see, we’re going to be grandparents.”

“Great, great, great. Little Lu, you’ve worked hard.”

Ye Fan looked at Jia Lu, a great contributor to the Ye family.

“Dad, I’m not tired. It’s my honor to help the Ye family flourish.”

Jia Lu felt a strong sense of belonging to the Ye Family.

Whether it was the treatment or the family atmosphere, everything was excellent.

“Su Yan, get two bottles of Hundred Ginseng elixir for Jia Lu later to help her recover her strength.”

Two bottles of Hundred Ginseng elixir, each with ten pills. If one had to purchase them, even one thousand silver wouldn’t necessarily be enough.

“Little Tian, remember to take good care of your wife.”

After expressing his concern for Jia Lu, Ye Fan finally had time to pick up Ye Jintian’s baby.

Tiny, just like a little monkey, exactly like when Qiuqiu was born.

Ye Fan reached out, felt the baby’s physique, then his smile became even brighter.

Receiving supplements before birth did indeed have some effects.

The newborn baby’s physique is very good.

Combined with the family trait bonuses, his potential is probably the highest in the family.

“Dad, you name the baby.”

“Be cautious and prudent, that’s how our Ye Family has risen to today’s status. It’s all thanks to being steady.”

“His name will be Ye Shenxing.”

“Daddy, hurry up and let me see my little nephew.”

Ye Jinqiu poked her tiny head, unbearably curious.

“Ew, so ugly – like a little monkey.”

After seeing Ye Shenxing, Ye Jinqiu looked disgusted.

“You’re one to talk. You were the same when you were born, your mom almost threw you away.”

“Hmph, I was never that ugly. I’ve always been the prettiest.”

…

Ye Xiaoxiao and the others also gathered to hold the baby, and the family was filled with joy.

Holding Ye Shenxing, Ye Fan felt an added sense of responsibility within his heart.

The Ye Family, it was getting bigger and bigger.

“System, claim rewards.”

“Congratulations to the host on the reward: Artifact Refining: Level One.”

Artifact Refining, one of the six cultivation arts. It can be used to refine magic artifacts for cultivators or weapons for ordinary people.

The appearance of the second cultivation skill gave Ye Fan a feeling that he was getting closer and closer to the realm of cultivation.

Ye Fan had been in this world for seven years.

Ye Fan was now forty years old.

Without cultivation, life was limited after all.

After a hundred years, all that would remain would be a handful of yellow dust.

Ye Fan was not willing to accept this. He had to become a cultivator.

Being so advantaged, how could he be content without becoming a cultivator?

Once he reached the county town, he should inquire about the news of immortals.

But what he needed to do now was to refine a batch of Hundred Ginseng elixir first.

After giving Jia Lu two bottles of Hundred Ginseng elixir, the family’s stock was now scarce.

Ye Fan took one thousand silver from Su Yan and went towards the Duobao Pavilion.

“Ye Pharmacist, you’re here to buy medicinal herbs again.”

“That’s correct, I need twenty sets of the principal medicinal herbs for the Hundred Ginseng elixir.”

Shopkeeper Li was first shocked at the request for twenty sets, then was overjoyed.

“Ye Pharmacist, can you already refine the Hundred Ginseng elixir?”

Since he had already broken through the Postnatal Realm, there was no need to hide his alchemist status anymore.

“That’s right. I can now refine the Hundred Ginseng elixir.”

Ye Fan took out a jade bottle from his bosom and handed it to Li Qian.

Li Qian opened the stopper of the jade bottle, and an unusual aroma wafted out.

“It really is the Hundred Ginseng elixir. Even if it is just low-grade, being able to refine The Hundred Ginseng elixir means that you are a legitimate alchemist.”

“Ye Pharmacist, it seems I should address you as Ye Alchemist from now on.”

“Shopkeeper Li, there’s no need for such formalities between us.”

Ye Fan had a favorable impression of Li Qian.

Back when he was only at the mid-phase of Body Forging, if it wasn’t for Li Qian’s favor, there could’ve been many twists and turns along the way.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Ye Fan had his own standards when it came to friendships.
