Chapter 40 Don’t mess with Ye Tian!

Chapter 40: Do Not Provoke Ye Tian! [First Update]

“Oh, what kind of intelligence is it?”

Lin Wanli showed interest.

“Does Big Brother know a person named Ye Tian?” Lin Ze asked.

“Ye Tian?” Lin Wanli recalled, “I have some impression. Ming Zhi mentioned him to me before. Ye Tian has extremely High-level Cultivation Talent. He seems to have the strength of an Elite Martial Warrior before he is even 17 years old. His Cultivation Talent must be High-level Cultivation Talent or even higher. Of course, it’s also possible he had an Opportunity, which is why he improved so quickly!”

“Big Brother, Ye Tian’s Cultivation Talent must be above High-level Cultivation Talent. Otherwise, with low Cultivation Talent, no matter how many resources he has, he wouldn’t be able to improve his cultivation. After all, the lower the Cultivation Talent, the less efficient it is to refine resources. Since Ye Tian’s Cultivation Talent is so high, the Mo Family had their eyes on him earlier. Yesterday morning, the Mo Family sent Mo Yuan to invite Ye Tian to the Mo Family. According to Mo Yuan, the Mo Family wanted to control Ye Tian, but Ye Tian had no interest in even going to the Mo Family. He even crippled Mo Yuan on the spot and drove him out! It was precisely because Mo Yuan was crippled that he didn’t participate in last night’s battle, luckily surviving!” Lin Ze explained.

“Interesting!” Lin Wanli showed a bit more interest. “According to you, the Mo Family suffered a setback with Ye Tian, and they would indeed take the next step. But Ye Tian seems fine, while the Mo Family was annihilated! Ye Tian couldn’t possibly have the ability to destroy the Mo Family, but this matter might be related to Ye Tian!”

“Should we apprehend Ye Tian?”

Lin Ze asked.

“Foolish!” Lin Wanli said coldly, “Do you think Ye Tian’s Cultivation Talent is very high, and he will pose a threat to the Lin Family in the future, so we should either recruit him or destroy him in advance?”

Lin Ze didn’t speak, but he certainly had that intention.

Lin Wanli sighed, “Lin Ze, you must understand that this world never lacks people with high Cultivation Talent. If you want to destroy them as soon as you see them, and if we miss one in the future, our Lin Family will be finished. For such a Genius, we either recruit them or befriend them. Do you know about the Hai Family, who were the Dominators of Lin Hai Base fifty years ago? At that time, the Hai Family was even more powerful than our current Lin Family. The Hai Family had ten Great Martial Warriors, yet they were wiped out overnight.”

“The Hai Family!”

Lin Ze’s pupils contracted, and he finally remembered.

It was said that the Hai Family was annihilated because they killed a Genius with High-level Cultivation Talent, and that Genius was from a Great Base. This ultimately attracted a Grandmaster, and the Hai Family was destroyed.

“Big Brother, I understand!”

Lin Ze said with a lingering fear.

“Hmm, it’s good that you understand!” Lin Wanli was relieved.

Immediately, he added, “However, you should also investigate Ye Tian. Logically, for a Genius like Ye Tian, our Lin Family should have discovered him quickly. I didn’t expect to have never heard of him. If it weren’t for this Vicious Beast clearing mission, we wouldn’t have known about Ye Tian’s existence for much longer. Since Ye Tian is a Martial Artist, he must frequent the black market, and the Martial Pavilion must be the place that knows Ye Tian best. Our Lin Family has a cooperation with the Martial Pavilion, so we should be able to obtain some intelligence from the Martial Pavilion.”

“Big Brother, I’ll go to the Martial Pavilion right away!”

Lin Ze said hastily.

Half a day later, Lin Ze returned.

“Big Brother, I asked the person in charge of the Martial Pavilion, but…”

Lin Ze looked a bit grave.

“Is Ye Tian’s identity somewhat special?” Lin Wanli guessed.

“Big Brother is right!” Lin Ze nodded, “Ye Tian often hunts Vicious Beasts and sells them to the Martial Pavilion. The Martial Pavilion already knew that Ye Tian had the ability to hunt Mid-level Ferocious Beasts, but the Martial Pavilion didn’t disclose it to our various Families. This is normal, after all, the Martial Pavilion only does business and doesn’t participate in the conflicts of Lin Hai Base. But this time, when I went to investigate Ye Tian, I received a warning from the Martial Pavilion’s person in charge, telling us not to offend Ye Tian!”

“What, could it be that Ye Tian has joined the Martial Pavilion?”

Lin Wanli was surprised.

This was not impossible. Ye Tian’s Cultivation Talent was so high, at least on the same level as his. But Ye Tian was young, highly malleable, and possessed Speed Talent, which made him much more promising than him.

It was perfectly normal for the Martial Pavilion to recruit such a Genius.

“No, the Martial Pavilion did try to recruit Ye Tian, but Ye Tian refused. However, a core Genius from the Great Base Martial Pavilion headquarters came to our Lin Hai Base before, and before leaving, asked the Martial Pavilion of Lin Hai Base to take care of Ye Tian!” Lin Ze said in disbelief.

“A core member of the Great Base Martial Pavilion, could it be…”

Lin Wanli thought of one person.

“Exactly, it should be the Yue Family’s Young Miss — Yue Ling. The Yue Family is a powerful Family with multiple Grandmasters. Any expert they send out would be enough to sweep through our Lin Hai Base. I didn’t expect Young Miss Yue Ling to actually know Ye Tian, and their relationship seems quite good. With this identity, if anyone in Lin Hai Base wants to deal with Ye Tian, they might have to bear the wrath of the Yue Family!”

As soon as Lin Ze thought of Ye Tian having such an identity, he couldn’t help but tremble.

Fortunately, Big Brother reminded him, otherwise, if he had used some small tricks against Ye Tian in secret, the Lin Family would have been finished.

Suddenly, he remembered the Mo Family.

“Big Brother, you said the Mo Family was because…”

Before Lin Ze could finish, Lin Wanli quickly interrupted, “Remember, let this matter pass. It’s not something we can discuss. Also, let the surviving members of the Mo Family fend for themselves. Lin Hai Base doesn’t lack a Mo Family!”

“Yes!”

Lin Ze responded.

Just then, Lin Wanli sighed, “Our real trouble is Tieya Base. Tieya Base is a medium-sized base with two Grandmasters and a population of 600,000. There are countless resources around the base, yet they promised our Lin Family many benefits to open up this trade route. Their objective is not that simple, but we can’t refuse, otherwise, we would offend Tieya Base.”

“Is Tieya Base going to attack us?”

Lin Ze frowned.

“That won’t happen. There’s a rule that Great Bases are not allowed to fight each other, and even Large Bases cannot violate it. Tieya Base doesn’t have the guts for that, but it’s hard to say if Tieya Base has other intentions. I’ve already sent people to infiltrate Tieya Base, and news should arrive soon!”

Lin Wanli said in a low voice.

“I hope no accidents happen!” Lin Ze hoped… In a blink of an eye, a week passed.

Ye Tian found that nothing had happened, and not even the Lin Family had sent anyone.

This situation was undoubtedly a good thing; with no trouble, he could Cultivate in peace.

Additionally.

During this period, he bought many tonics from the black market that could promote the growth of young boys and girls, allowing them to Cultivate a few months or even a year earlier without damaging their Foundation.

Many prominent Families used this method to allow the Geniuses in their Family to Cultivate earlier.

Ye Tian also had Ye Yu eat a lot, and after testing, Ye Yu could finally Cultivate.
