Realms In The Firmament

As Han Bingxue thought, the dan beads were given by Ye Xiao which were all simple dan beads that he didn’t need for a long time. It was pretty weighty after all, so he decided to give them away as soon as he could…

Several bottles were thrown onto the table again in a few seconds.

Gramp Ye’s eyebrows were flicking.

[This… friend of my grandson… is so generous, isn’t he?]

[No, no, no… This is much more than ’generous’!]

[These are mysterious things that are nearly impossible to find in the history. None of these things ever has been seen in Qing-Yun Realm for so many years. How come he just took them out in piles? Am I… Am I… Am I dreaming?]

Ye Nantian was also confused. Did his son ask the man to give them all those dan beads? Or was this guy actually a mighty dan-maker?

He had always believed that a mysterious man was supporting Ye Xiao secretly. Was Han Bingxue the marvelous man… [Hmm. This guy has so many valuable treasures, yet doesn’t look like an influential figure at all. Is he a top-ranged superior cultivator who was so powerful that he doesn’t need to be like one?]

Unlike the suspicious Ye Nantian and Gramp Ye, the old lady only felt glad. She had already held the bottles with different kinds of dan beads in her arms.

She embarrassedly smiled, looking at Gramp Ye and Ye Nantian.

”Granny, no need to feel embarrassed. He is my good friend. A brother. Not a stranger. His are mine and mine are his. Just accept them,” Ye Xiao said.

”That’s right. Mine are all his. His are still his. It’s alright.” Han BIngxue hurriedly followed up. It seemed he suddenly thought of something, so he said, ”By the way… Gramp Ye and… Uncle Ye… Ahem… are both cultivators. I have a few other dan beads for you two. They should be helpful for you.”

Then he started to take out more bottles. ”Mai Connecting Dan… Hmmm… There are ten. Sky Reaching Dan… Heaven Spirit Dan… Purple Cloud Dan… Cough, cough… Heaven Climbing Dan… One of these can provide one hundred years of cultivation, and you can take multiple of it. The efficacy won’t be deducted. Oh… There are twenty of it… Maybe you can share them!”

Ye Shuqing’s two eyes almost popped out.

He nearly passed out…

[These…]

[Are these marvelous dan beads like cabbage to him?

[Are these still rare dan beads?]

If Gramp Ye had sharper eyes and more experience, he would know that Hang Bingxue was giving him some supreme dan beads, and it would literally make his veins explode. It was not a joke. What happened was too astonishing!

Ye Nantian looked at the bottles of dan beads piling up on the table within seconds. Han Bingxue didn’t stop taking out more. Ye Nantian was more and more certain that this guy was the mysterious master who had been helping Ye Xiao. [What a mighty man… How enigmatic… He actually pretends to be like a clown… This is too much…]

”Granny, why don’t you just swallow a dan bead. Don’t mind others, it is most important to take care of yourself first.” Ye Xiao opened a jade bottle and took out a piece of Pei-Yuan Dan.

”Yes. Good. Good.” The old lady laughed so happily that it was like a flower in her face. Without hesitation, she swallowed the dan bead.

Her grandson just got home, and he was feeding her with a dan bead… She had no reason to say no.

It was something curative that he was feeding her. However, even if it weren’t, even if it were poison, the old lady would still swallow it with pleasure. For many years, she hadn’t been happy like this…

Everybody stayed silent when she took the dan bead.

It started to work on her with waves of a dense scent.

Gramp Ye and Ye Nantian kept watching her as if a miracle was going to take place.

Under their watch, the old lady’s pale face was turning red in a visible rate. At the same time, some tiny bits of dark material were oozing out on her skins…

Those were the impurities inside her body being forced out by the efficacy of the dan bead.

The old lady exclaimed and hurried off the table. Most women were obsessed with cleanliness. The old lady might be old now, but she still cared about her hygiene. How could she endure the weird smell that came from her own body?

The four men looked at each other and then started to laugh.

Gramp Ye laughed like a flower. He raised up his glass again and again. ”Cheers! Let’s drink!”

The four of them ate and drank. Four hours had passed.

With the sound of footsteps, a woman came out with a full face of a smile.

Gramp Ye was stunned. He stood up immediately and even knocked over the chair…

”Ah!” Even Ye Nantian was shocked.

The woman who just came out appeared to be a middle-aged woman, with fair skin, long dark hair, a big smile in the face, tears in the eyes…

It was precisely the old Lady Ye.

Her face… Was she back to youth?

Lady Ye was too thrilled to say the words fluently, ”I… I… ate one bead from each kind in those bottles… and… and I became like this…”

Gramp Ye was stunned!

The huge surprise had made him faint!

…

That night was an unforgettable night of miracle for Ye Shuqing’s family!

The person who made all this happen was exactly the young lord Ye Xiao, who had just returned to the family!

After the drinks, the old lady started to talk to Ye Xiao. She just couldn’t look enough at her grandson. Han Bingxue went to rest alone.

Ye Nantian and Gramp Ye took every second to digest the efficacy of the dan beads.

Ye Nantian was still lost in confusion. He didn’t know whether the dan beads were from Ye Xiao or Han Bingxue. He thought that Han Bingxue was Ye Xiao’s secret master. If the dan beads were from Ye Xiao, he should just be grateful to his own son. If they were from Han Bingxue, a great dan-maker who had been teaching his son all the time, it would be too big a favor that was difficult to return.

However, although he was shocked, it didn’t make him feel the astonishment for a long time because his heart was holding the confusion!

Ye Shuqing was different. He couldn’t calm down.

”How do we return the favor after accepting such the great gifts…” Gramp Ye was still in excitement but also worried. ”Those dan beads… not to mention our group, even the entire Ye Clan in the prime days didn’t have the power to return the favor. The value of these dan beads is unmeasurable…”

”Unfortunately these dan beads are an irresistible attraction to us.” Gramp Ye truly felt nervous. ”That man gave us so many dan beads just because he is a good friend to Xiao… I don’t know what level these dan beads are… But I am pretty sure these dan beads can make an average scale clan immediately become a big clan!”

”With all these dan beads, why would we be afraid of the other groups and the other clans… What does it matter if we will lose all the fights in the arena…”

”But… I just don’t feel right about it!”
