Becoming Invincible Starts With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 9: The Patriarch of the Ye Family, An Unworthy Son!

Chapter 9: The Patriarch of the Ye Family, An Unworthy Son!

Ye Xuan traced the voice and looked over.

Two young men suddenly walked over from the side. They looked to be in their twenties, about the same age as Ouyang Xiao.

One of them wore a golden brocade robe and a jade crown on his head. He held a folding fan in his hand and exuded an oppressive aura.

The other wore a white robe and had a delicate appearance. He had the demeanor of a scholar.

From the looks of it, the two of them were obviously disciples of a large sect. At such a young age, they were already of at least Level 5 of the Qi Refinement Stage in strength.

"May I ask who you are…?"

Ye Xuan looked at the two of them and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Although he already had a guess, he still planned to confirm it.

"Hehe, fellow cultivator Ye, I've heard a lot about you!"

"I am Jiang Shen of the Jiang Family Clan, an outer disciple of the Thousand Swords Sect."

The man in the golden brocade robe smiled and cupped his fists at Ye Xuan politely.

"I am Bai Wen Shu of the Bai Family, an outer disciple of the Profound Yang Sect."

The young man in white who looked like a scholar also stepped forward and gently cupped his fists towards Ye Xuan.

"If Fellow Cultivator Ye doesn't mind, you can sell the pills to my Jiang Family. The price my Jiang family offers will definitely satisfy you," Jiang Shen spoke first.

"The same goes for my Bai Family." Bai Wen Shu also smiled.

"You guys!!"

"Fellow Cultivator Ye is my esteemed guest. Jiang Shen, Bai Wen Shu, you guys are too much!"

Before Ye Xuan could speak, Ouyang Xiao exploded.

He was just thinking about how to befriend Ye Xuan. Even if Ye Xuan was unwilling to join the Ouyang Family, he still had to establish a long-term relationship of cooperation with Ye Xuan.

However, he did not expect Jiang Shen and Bai Wen Shu to have such a good nose. Coincidentally, they had also appeared here.

The Ouyang Family Clan was a clan that rose up later. Their foundation and connections were not as good as the Jiang Family and the Bai Family. If Ye Xuan collaborated with the Jiang Family or the Bai Family because of this, it would be a huge loss for the Ouyang Family Clan.

"So you're fellow cultivators from the Jiang family and the Bai family. Nice to meet you~" Ye Xuan said politely, then slowly shook his head and said, "Fellow Cultivators, you don't know this, but I've just become a Grade-1 alchemist not long ago. I can only barely refine some basic medicinal pills for my concubines to consume. The number of medicinal pills I can refine in a year is limited, so I can't sell too many. This time, I just thought that this gathering of independent cultivators was more interesting, so I thought of selling some medicinal pills."

After Ye Xuan finished speaking, he took out an exquisite white jade bottle.

"Pa da~"

The jade bottle was opened.

In an instant, a fragrance filled the air.

Everyone was extremely surprised. They did not know what kind of a pill it was. All the independent cultivators stretched their necks, wanting to see clearly the pill in Ye Xuan's jade bottle.

"This smell, could it be…"

Ouyang Xiao's eyes widened in disbelief.

"If I'm not wrong, the pill in Fellow Cultivator Ye's jade bottle should be the Beauty Retaining Pill, right?" Jiang Shen immediately interrupted, his tone somewhat shocked.

"What!"

"Beauty Retaining Pill!"

"No wonder I couldn't tell what it was. It's actually the Beauty Retaining Pill. This makes sense."

While everyone was surprised, they also felt that it made sense.

After all, they were all men. Buying a medicinal pill for cultivation was enough to make their hearts ache for a long time.

Only a fool would buy such a fancy pill!

However, people like Jiang Shen and the others were different. They came from large family clans and were knowledgeable. Even if they had not used the Beauty Retaining Pill, they had probably smelled it before.

The Beauty Retaining Pill was extremely tempting to some female cultivators. Although the effect of the Grade-1 Beauty Retaining Pill could only last for about a year on a cultivator of the Qi Refinement Stage, countless women still flocked to it.

Especially on some special occasions, if one could give a Beauty Retaining Pill to the female cultivator he liked, there was a high chance that he could spend a good night with that female cultivator.

However, most cultivators controlled their desires very well. Only the geniuses of those sects or some disciples from large immortal-cultivation family clans could be so generous.

"That's right, it's the Beauty Retaining Pill."

Ye Xuan smiled and poured out all the Beauty Retaining Pills in the jade bottle. There were ten pills in total.

"I'm only good at refining Beauty Retaining Pills at the moment. I happen to have some surplus, so I might as well take them out to trade," Ye Xuan explained casually.

He naturally knew that the Beauty Retaining Pill was extremely ineffective against ordinary cultivators.

However, Ye Xuan was sure that among so many independent cultivators, there were definitely bootlickers.

Coupled with Ouyang Xiao and the others, he was not worried that his pills would not sell.

Moreover, his fundamental goal was not to sell medicinal pills, but to use this gathering of independent cultivators to expand his influence.

"Hahaha, Fellow Cultivator Ye has indeed given me a heavenly surprise!"

At the side, Jiang Shen suddenly laughed out loud. Then, he waved his hand and spoke boldly, "Fellow Cultivator Ye, I want all these Beauty Retaining Pills. I'm willing to buy them at 400,000 gold coins each, and I'll pay for one-tenth of them with spirit stones. What do you think, Fellow Cultivator Ye?"

"What!"

"400,000 gold coins!"

"This is far beyond the market price of the Beauty Retaining Pill!"

"Moreover, one-tenth of it is even to be paid with spirit stones. As expected of a disciple of the Jiang Family. How generous!"

As soon as Jiang Shen finished speaking, all the surrounding independent cultivators gasped in shock.

The Beauty Retaining Pill was worth about 200,000 to 300,000 gold coins, but Jiang Shen had offered a high price of 400,000 gold coins. He was even willing to pay a portion for them in spirit stones.

Spirit stones were extremely precious cultivation resources. Even among independent cultivators, unless there were some special items, they were basically traded with gold coins.

One spirit stone could be exchanged for 10,000 gold coins.

However, 10,000 gold coins might not be enough to buy spirit stones.

However, Jiang Shen was willing to pay one-tenth of the price with spirit stones, which was forty low-grade spirit stones. This was already an exaggeratedly high price!

"Jiang Shen, you…"

Ouyang Xiao opened his mouth slightly, but in the end, he could not say a word.

Whether it was 4,000,000 gold coins or 40 spirit stones, he could take them out. However, this was still a considerable amount of wealth for him.

If it were any other pill, he might not hesitate to bid and use the opportunity to befriend Ye Xuan.

But this Beauty Retaining Pill…

It was really useless to him. He could grit his teeth and buy one, but he could not directly purchase ten all at once like Jiang Shen.

Not only did Jiang Shen want to buy all of them, but he also offered a high price. Obviously, he wanted to befriend Ye Xuan.

"Since Brother Jiang needs these pills, I won't snatch them from you."

Bai Wen Shu smiled and gave up the competition.

This was not only because of his relationship with Jiang Shen, but also because he did not need the Beauty Retaining Pills.

As Jiang Shen was rather handsome, coupled with his temperament and personality, he had many lovers in the sect.

Jiang Shen was clearly preparing to get these pills for his senior and junior sisters in the sect.

"Hehehe~"

"Since Fellow Cultivator Jiang has said so, I naturally have to give you some face."

Ye Xuan immediately beamed with joy. He stuffed the pills back into the jade bottle and handed it to Jiang Shen.

It was true that the Ye Family was rich and imposing, but he had also spent a lot on alchemy, and the success rate was not very high.

4,000,000 gold coins was not a small income for the Ye Family.

Moreover, his identity as an alchemist was completely established today. This had great benefits for him.

One day later, the gathering of independent cultivators had not yet ended. However, Ye Xuan left the Ouyang Family and returned to the Ye Family.

…

Seven days later.

In the Ye Family, the music from suonas soared into the sky as a banquet was held.

Within a radius of tens of miles, everyone knew that the Ye Family Patriarch was getting married again!

Dozens of Ye Family's bridal welcoming teams draped in bright red floral cloths were running around the city. Cart after cart came in an endless stream, and the total number reached 120!

There was an endless stream of guests who came to the banquet. The banquet lasted for three days and three nights. This ceremony to take in concubines was unprecedented. It was even written into history by some nosy fellows.

In August, Year 2233 of the Thousand Moon Calendar, the Ye Family Patriarch had taken hundreds of concubines. He was an unworthy son.

…

Late at night.

In the Ye Family's courtyard, Uncle Ye worked hard to farm alone. He was extremely busy.
