"I'll count to three. If you don't get out of here with your henchmen, then you don't have to leave." Ye Xingchen said in disdain.

"One …"

"Two …"

"Go, capture Ye Xingchen and cripple him." This was an undisguised insult, and Bai Xiaoyu was already thoroughly enraged. Today, he would definitely cripple Ye Xingchen.

"Everyone attack together, help the young master capture him."

"Up …"

The five bodyguards instantly surrounded Ye Xingchen, while Ye Xingchen calmly looked at Bai Xiaoyu without the slightest hint of nervousness.

These five bodyguards were just Fourth Level of Body Refinement, they were unable to enter Ye Xingchen's eyes.

"Haaargh!"

With a loud shout, all five of them activated their Spiritual Strength at the same time and attacked Ye Xingchen. Ye Xingchen stood in his original position, and hadn't even used his Spiritual Strength.

With a light wave of his hand, all five of them were sent flying.

"Impossible …"

When Bai Xiaoyu saw it, he couldn't help but yell in shock. Even with his Sixth Level of Body Refinement, he wouldn't be able to knock five profound practitioners flying with a single strike without using the Spiritual Strength.

Bai Xiaoyu vigilantly stared at Ye Xingchen, carefully observing him. At this moment, Bai Xiaoyu was certain that Ye Xingchen definitely had a treasure on him, otherwise, he would not have been able to do such a thing.

Three months ago, Ye Xingchen was still a body refining second level trash, but now he was actually this strong.

"No, there must be a treasure in my possession. I must obtain it. I cannot be rash." Bai Xiaoyu instantly made his decision as he glared viciously at Ye Xingchen, fiercely spitting words down his throat, "Ye Xingchen, just you wait, I definitely won't let you off." After saying that, he disappeared from the trading center with his five bodyguards.

"Chenge …" Ye Yu looked at Ye Xingchen with incomparable remorse. She felt that she had caused all of this, and she felt extremely apologetic.

"It's fine. Let's go." Ye Xingchen patted Ye Yu's head and chuckled.

Just as the two were about to leave the trading center, Ye Xingchen suddenly heard the voice of the Marital God System, "Get the black cloth on the first stall on the left."

This was the task of the Marital God System, Ye Xingchen was stunned.

"Yu Er, wait a moment, let's go to that stall to take a look." Ye Xingchen stopped and said softly.

The booth owner was a White-Haired Old Man and his face looked extremely old. He was lying on the booth with a face full of enjoyment.

Seeing that Ye Xingchen and the others did not welcome them, he continued to lie on the chair.

Ye Xingchen pretended to pick up a dagger and looked at it, then laughed and asked: "Old man, how much is this dagger?"

"My dagger is not just for sale. If you want to buy it, buy it all." White-Haired Old Man stretched lazily and said with a smile.

"Eh." Ye Xingchen had never seen a seller like this who not only wanted to buy everything, but also wanted to buy everything at the same time.

If not for the mission given by the Marital God System, Ye Xingchen would never even bother to look at this kind of ordinary thing.

"Fine then. I happen to lack some weapons at home. How much would it cost to buy all these?" Ye Xingchen pretended to ponder for a moment, and laughed as he asked.

"One thousand silver."

"Eight hundred liang." Ye Xingchen haggled.

"Deal." White-Haired Old Man answered cleanly.

Ye Xingchen helplessly shook his head, and casually picked up a black cloth next to the dagger. This piece of black cloth was extremely ancient, and Ye Xingchen did not recognize any of the patterns on it.

"Old man, what is this cloth?" Ye Xingchen asked as if nothing had happened.

"I accidentally picked this up in the mountains. I felt that it might be a Treasure Map, so I put it up for sale. If you want it, add on the eighty silver and take it." White-Haired Old Man stroked his long beard and said calmly.

Ye Xingchen felt that this old man was like an old swindler, "If it's the Treasure Map, why is it that no one else came to buy it?"

"Even if I'm not sure, no one would believe me. That's why I sell it so cheaply." The old man answered truthfully.

"Alright, I'll buy them all." After Ye Xingchen paid and put away the things, he took Ye Yu and disappeared from the trading center.

Luckily, Ye Xingchen had sold the Demonic Beast's corpse last time and exchanged some thousand year old lingzhi for silver. However, he had spent all of it this time.

After returning home, Ye Xingchen bid farewell to Ye Yu, and entered the War God's Space.

"Completing the mission, 800 points." Just as expected, the system prompt had completed the mission, but Ye Xingchen did not expect that he would be awarded 800 points.

"What kind of cloth is this? Is it really a piece of Treasure Map? " Ye Xingchen thought.

"Wu, what exactly is this thing?" Ye Xingchen was unable to fathom, he only wanted to seek help from Wu.

"This is not something you should understand right now. You should focus on preparing for the Battle Clan Competition. The day you become an alchemist, I will tell you about this piece of cloth." Wu's voice sounded out in Ye Xingchen's mind.

"Is he related to an apothecary?" This was not Ye Xingchen's first time hearing about alchemists, but how could he become one?

Soon after, Ye Xingchen asked a lot of more questions, but Wu didn't answer, in the end, Ye Xingchen also gave up.

Four days later, Ye Family.

Today, the Ye Family was decorated with lanterns, and it was extremely grand. The annual Ye Family competition had officially begun today.

The purpose of the Family Competition was to recruit the strongest and the most talented members of the younger generation for training. This was already a tradition of Ye Family.

The annual Family Competition was the busiest time of the Ye Family.

In the early morning, all the Ye Family clansmen gathered at the Ye Family Plaza.

In such a large Plaza Center, there was a Arms Drill Platform. Directly in front of the Arms Drill Platform, there was a rostrum, where the higher ups of the Ye Family resided.

As the biological grandson of the Ye Family Family Head, Ye Xingchen relied on his father Ye Hu and sat at the side of the main platform.

And on the main platform, Clan Chief Ye Yuanshan, Ye Hu, Ye Bao, and a few elders were seated. On the two sides of the stage, there were the people who were participating in the Family Competition among the younger generation of Ye Family.

The surrounding area was filled with the young generation of Ye Family, and all of them were shouting for the idols in their hearts.

And at this moment, when everyone was watching, a white-haired elder walked onto the Arms Drill Platform s and extended his hand, indicating for the people on the ground to be quiet.

"I am Ye Qingchuan, a member of the Ye Family Elders Group. This time, this old man will be the referee for the Ye Family Competition. I hope that the Contestant is prepared." Ye Qingzhuang introduced with a smile.

Next was the introduction of the rules of the Family Competition. It was the same every year.

As this was the first time Ye Xingchen was participating in the Family Competition, they all listened to his rules very seriously.

In the last Family Competition, the champion was Ye Bai. In this year, Ye Bai received all the resources from the Ye Family and was very outstanding.

And this time round, Ye Bai also went according to everyone's expectations, so no one paid any attention to Ye Xingchen.

There were ten people participating in the Family Competition, and they were divided into five groups. Five of the winners would be promoted to the second round, and then draw a lot, and one of them would be left empty-handed. As for the other four, the final three victors would be the round-robin tournament, with two pairs of fights, and the victor would be the first, while the loser would be ranked second, and the loser would be the loser would be ranked third.

Moreover, this year's competition's top three rewards were extremely generous, causing everyone's eyes to go red with envy.

The first place reward was one of Lesser Heaven Stage Martial Artists's enlightenment, a bottleneck pill, and a set of Second-rate Cultivation Technique.

Second place was given one Second-rate Cultivation Technique, followed by countless amounts of money.

The third place reward was a third-rate cultivation technique, which meant that he had a lot of money.

This reward was enough to make anyone jealous, especially the first place prize, the Lesser Heaven Stage Martial Artists's comprehension. This reward was extremely important to any Ninth Level of Body Refinement practitioner, moreover, there was also a bottleneck pill that could make any Ninth Level of Body Refinement practitioner jealous. This was definitely the biggest reward for this competition.

Bottleneck Pills, as its name implies, were used to break through bottlenecks. Any practitioner at the peak of the Ninth Level of Body Refinement would be able to easily break through to the Postnatal Stage after consuming a bottleneck pill.

Even Ye Bai, who was at the side, was visibly moved. "I've reserved the first place for you."

The plaza was in an uproar. It seemed that this time, the clan was going to spend all their resources to create a genius.

After a short period of insanity, it was time to draw lots.

The ten contestants will go up to draw lots. From the 1st to the 10th, the 1st will fight against the 10th, 2nd against the 9th, the 3rd against the 8th, the 4th against the 7th, and the 5th against the 6th.

Ye Bai was the first to step onto the stage and draw lots. He casually picked one and there wasn't the slightest hint of nervousness on his face.

That's right, Ye Bai was a genuine Eighth Level of Body Refinement Ranker, and amongst these ten Contestant, he was the only one with Eighth Level of Body Refinement.

Following that was Ye Yutian, Ye You and the rest, finally, Ye Xingchen also went up to draw lots.

Ye Xingchen randomly picked one, and when he opened it, he saw that there was a single big word written there, and it looked like it was lot number one.

After that, Ye Qingzhuang walked to the front of the stage and said to the ten contestants, "Today's first match will be the first to fight with the tenth contestant. The first contestants will be fighting with the tenth contestant."

With that said, Ye Xingchen and Ye Yaohong walked onto the Arms Drill Platform.

Ye Yaohong, one of the Sixth Level of Body Refinement warriors, was from a branch family. Usually, he would bitterly cultivate and not show himself, but his strength was still quite strong.

Below the stage, Ye Yutian's face was filled with anger, "Humph, Ye Xingchen, let's see how we will take care of you in the Family Competition."

"I hope you can make it to the finals." Ye Bai shook his head in disdain as he spoke indifferently.

In Ye White-eyed's eyes, Ye Xingchen was still a little too inexperienced.

"Come on Chenge, you're the best." Just as everyone was looking forward to the two of them fighting together, suddenly, Ye Yu's voice spread across the entire Arms Drill Platform.

"Chenge, do your best, we all support you." Following that, Ye Shan also loudly supported Ye Xingchen.
