Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

”You wish.”

Chen Ye glanced at the timid little girl,

”Once the karma between heaven and earth is formed, it can’t be avoided. Besides, the aptitude of you three is one-in-a-million, requiring a vast amount of resources for nurture. Just sitting in a paradise outside the world would be a waste of talent.”

For the disciples, Bai Li is a stranger.

But for Chen Ye, he’s his father-in-law and a future pillar of strength!

Zhiwei nodded slightly from the side:

”Master is right. In an era of great competition, retreating and hiding only leads to being at someone else’s mercy.”

Her gaze swept over her master.

Just like now.

If she didn’t forge ahead courageously, the next time something similar happened, she would still endure humiliation with a forced smile, helpless.

She didn’t want to see her master bow to those lofty demonesses again, enduring their insults and humiliation.

Only by becoming stronger than everyone, strong enough to trample Duqing Sect, the Li Family, and all who covet and humiliate her master under her feet, can she truly protect him!

The other two disciples, hearing senior sister’s words, refused to show weakness.

”Jin’er is not afraid of danger! Jin’er will strive hard in cultivation, to beat all those bad people who bully master away!”

”Qing Jun too! Qing Jun will eat lots and lots of Spiritual Medicine, grow up quickly, and eat that bad woman in one gulp!”

Chen Ye was extremely gratified.

Yes.

The disciples have been nurtured well, knowing to protect their master.

When their Cultivation is accomplished,

won’t he just lie back and have Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Stones delivered to his door?

Thinking of the near future,

being able to hold onto three pillars simultaneously,

Chen Ye was filled with energy.

...

Night deepened.

After dispatching the three disciples to their own practice, Cold Scale Mansion returned to its tranquility.

Chen Ye walked alone to the window, opened it, and stood with hands behind his back.

He raised his head, looking towards Wuyang Palace in the sky, pondering silently.

His current Cultivation can’t be considered weak.

Within the Yan and Qi Lands, he was already considered a formidable figure.

But in the face of such deadly games involving Golden Core True Men, he still wasn’t enough.

”Core Formation... only with Core Formation can one have a say in front of such giants.”

Chen Ye’s eyes slightly narrowed.

In the vast Cultivation Realm, regardless of where one goes, whether it’s Huayue Mansion in Ruins Country or the Holy Land of Ling Kingdom, Golden Core True Men always have a place.

After all,

in the current Lingxu Realm, the highest obvious battle strength is only Nascent Soul.

And in other realms, traces of Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarch have never appeared.

Therefore, the Golden Core is already the strongest below Nascent Soul.

”Golden Core...”

Chen Ye murmured to himself, a gleam flashing in his eyes.

The Golden Core Path isn’t a matter of overnight effort. Although he has a solid foundation, attempting Core Formation on the fly is undoubtedly a fool’s dream.

However, this doesn’t mean he can only be at others’ mercy.

Chen Ye withdrew his gaze, turned, and sat cross-legged before the mat.

He closed his eyes, focusing inwardly, introspecting himself.

Currently,

Chen Ye’s strongest means of attack is still the Heart Slaughter Sword.

This sword, long nurtured, has been soaked in the blood of strong men.

Especially now,

with Chen Ye’s Seven Luminaries Soul Nourishing Technique successfully illuminating the Star of Suppression, the sword’s backlash has further diminished, allowing him to wield more of its power.

Besides this.

He has many other methods.

But these methods, except for the Tier Two Top Grade Concealed Nether Aperture, are not up to par now.

Like the already scrapped Qingzhi,

or the Vine King still at mid-stage Foundation Establishment...

Musing on the Vine King.

A thought flashed through Chen Ye’s mind, a green bud protruded from his sleeve:

”When I obtained the Vine King, it was only Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer, now it has reached Sixth Layer, and following me all these years has benefited it greatly.”

”But even having reached Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer, it offers me little help.”

Chen Ye looked at the verdant vine gently rubbing against his fingertip, silently shaking his head.

A blow from a Fake Pill Cultivator or Golden Core True Man could easily crush this poor little appendage.

In high-end magical battles, the current battle strength of the Vine King indeed seems a bit redundant.

”Flavorless, yet regrettable to discard...”

Chen Ye pondered for a moment, his mind suddenly flashed to Jin’er’s fragile figure.

The girl’s cultivation in fire techniques is powerful, but she lacks protective measures.

During Wang Qiumen’s Yang Qiu’s close-range sneak attack on Jin’er with Infant Puppets, she was nearly severely injured.

If the Vine King protected her, how could Jin’er have been harmed by Infant Puppets?

”It’s better to leave the Vine King for Jin’er to defend herself. Not seeking impregnable defense, just enough to buy her a few breaths, to unleash her fire technique.”

Chen Ye’s eyes lit up, the more he thought about it, the more feasible the plan seemed.

The Vine King can’t withstand the attacks from Golden Core monsters in his hands, but it’s a solid Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer Spiritual Object after all!

Its vitality is strong, and it’s skilled in binding, entangling, and forming defensive arrays.

Chen Ye made up his mind internally, when he suddenly heard a faint rustling sound.

A fluffy little white head sneaked a peek in from outside the door.

The little white fox’s nose slightly wriggled, its eyes in the dim room rolled around, locking onto the verdant vine lightly swaying at Chen Ye’s fingertip.

”Uh... Bai, long time no see.”

Seeing this small fox, Chen Ye rarely felt guilty.

He still owes this little fox a favor!

The last time he hurriedly fed it jerky, then rushed to Wuyang Palace.

Originally planned to come back and properly appease this fox.

But who knew, after returning, Zhiwei fell into a coma, and Chen Ye was busy for a month, nearly forgetting about the fox.
