Cangling Immortal Clan

Chapter 88 Chu Lingxi

Having said this, Ye Linyuan decided to stay on Chixing Island, waiting for the family dinner to start today.

At this time, the servants of the Ye family had already started preparing for the family dinner. Before they knew it, it was already midnight. As the sky was about to get dark, Ye Linyuan heard a burst of laughter.

Ye Linyuan looked up and found that Ye Qinchu, Ye Qinyang and others had walked in, each of them followed by several beautiful female cultivators and monks.

"Lin Yuan, you are finally here."

Ye Qinyang was the first to notice Ye Linyuan, and immediately greeted Ye Linyuan with a smile.

In response, Ye Linyuan stood up, smiled and bowed to everyone, saying: "Meet the uncles, aunts, and sisters-in-law."

Ye Qinyang smiled and immediately said to a beautiful woman beside him: "Xin'er, this is my Ye family's young master Ye Linyuan. Although you are a little older, remember not to be rude to him."

The beautiful female cultivator was slightly stunned when she heard this, obviously not expecting Ye Qinyang to be so cautious.

So she didn't dare to be presumptuous, and bowed generously and said, "Ling Xin greets the young master."

"Auntie, the gift is too generous."

Ye Linyuan returned the greeting politely, then looked at the female cultivators in front of him.

There were four unfamiliar female cultivators and a hunchbacked male cultivator in the hall. Ye Linyuan only took a glance and remembered the origins of these people.

Among these four female cultivators, there are two who are in the early stage of Qi training. They are Ye Qinchu’s Taoist partner Zhao Lian’er, and Ye Linze’s Taoist partner Li Qingyan.

The two women's cultivation is only at the first or second level of Qi training, and their spiritual roots are not outstanding, but they are young and beautiful, and they are no more than twenty years old.

In addition, Zhao Lian'er and Li Qingyan are both female cultivators with clean backgrounds. They once came from impoverished Qi-cultivating families, and now they are the only Qi-cultivating cultivators left in the family.

For such an only-child cultivator who has no brothers or sisters to worry about, after marrying into the Ye family, basically, he will follow wherever his family goes, and will basically not be affected by external forces.

The remaining two female cultivators also came from a poor family and were a pair of sisters.

The elder sister is named Chu Lingxin. She is Ye Qinyang’s Taoist partner and a female cultivator at the fourth level of Qi training.

The most important thing is that Chu Lingxin is only 26 years old and has three spiritual roots. Being able to break through the middle stage of Qi Refining at this age is considered extremely outstanding among casual cultivators.

However, from this point, we can also see the difficulties faced by independent cultivators today. After all, the middle stage of Qi Refining is no longer considered the lowest level among independent cultivators, and three spiritual roots are considered small geniuses among Qi Refining cultivators.

You should know that the probability of having three spiritual roots among cultivators is generally only about one in thirty.

But Chu Lingxin is still willing to marry into the Ye family, which shows the difficulties faced by cultivators in the outside world.

Of course, Chu Lingxin’s marriage into the Ye family was conditional, because there were two cultivators marrying in with her.

One of them is named Chu Daoran, he is 93 years old this year, and his cultivation has reached the fifth level of Qi training. He is Chu Lingxin's grandfather.

The other person is Chu Lingxin’s sister Chu Lingxi. Her cultivation is only at the first level of Qi training, but she is only fifteen years old this year.

It is said that the Chu family was originally a Qi training family, but due to their small population and weak strength, their spiritual veins were eventually taken away by someone.

After losing the family spiritual vein, the Chu family has completely fallen into decline. Several Qi-refining cultivators in the family have completely disbanded. Chu Daoran and his two sisters have been living a hard life, and eventually they have exhausted the family's remaining wealth.

Because he didn't want to waste Chu Lingxin's talent, Chu Daoran let Chu Lingxin marry into the Ye family.

Chu Lingxin felt sorry for her grandfather who was left unattended, and was also worried that her sister would be homeless in the future, so she asked to bring her sister and grandfather into the Ye family. At first, Old Man Ye was reluctant, after all, the Ye family had a lot of secrets, and letting someone bring their family to join the Ye family would increase the risk of the Ye family being exposed.

But considering that Chu Lingxin was talented and her filial piety moved Old Man Ye, he agreed to Chu Lingxin's request after consulting Ye Linyuan.

At this time, Ye Linyuan glanced at everyone, and seeing Chu Lingxin was gentle and generous, he couldn't help but nodded slightly.

He looked at the other people one by one, but when he noticed Chu Lingxi, his gaze paused slightly.

"what happened?"

Old Man Ye's spiritual perception was very sharp, and he couldn't help but ask through voice transmission.

Ye Linyuan shook his head slightly, and then said: "Her qualifications are pretty good."

"Oh?"

When Old Man Ye heard this, he was immediately surprised.

He knew that Ye Linyuan had extremely high standards. The last person he evaluated as having good qualifications was Zhou Yuwan, who had dual spiritual roots.

But this was not the time to talk too much, so Old Man Ye smiled slightly and said, "Since everyone is here, let's start the banquet."

Upon hearing this, everyone began to take their seats.

This family dinner of the Ye family was considered the most lively one in history.

Not only did nine cultivators from the same clan, including Ye Linyuan, Ye Huaixue, and Ye Qinxin, arrive, but there were also several new female relatives. Even Zhou Mingfu, Chu Daoran and others were invited to the family dinner.

At this first family dinner, the Ye family's main members were calm and at ease, but the female members and Chu Daoran and others were all very reserved.

Among the nine cultivators in the Ye family, seven are in the middle stage of Qi Refining or above. This Qi Refining family has an extraordinary foundation and in the past they were considered to be a wealthy family that could not be offended.

Now that they were able to join in, they felt nervous and upset, but what surprised them even more was that Ye Linyuan was actually sitting on the main seat.

During the entire Ye family's family dinner, two main seats were specially reserved, one of which was for Old Man Ye, the head of the family who was in the late stage of Qi training. They had expected this a long time ago.

However, the person sitting on the other main seat was not Ye Qinyang and others who were more senior, but Ye Linyuan, a very young junior. And no one in the Ye family had any objection.

The deep meaning within it shocked the women present and Chu Daoran and others.

Because this means that in the eyes of everyone in the Ye family, Ye Linyuan is the undisputed backbone, enough to be compared with the old man Ye who is in the late stage of Qi training.

"No, I'm afraid it's more than that."

Chu Daoran was shocked, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes.

Because there is a hierarchy in the immortal cultivation family, there has always been only one head of the family since ancient times. The only possibility of having two heads is that one of them is only honorary.

Of the two masters before us, I'm afraid Ye Linyuan's is the substantive one, while Old Man Ye's is probably just honorary.

The reason is very simple, because Old Man Ye is the head of the family. If he occupies a dominant position, there is no need to arrange a main seat for others.

The most crucial thing is that the female cultivator named Zhou Yuwan, whose cultivation level is clearly as high as the middle stage of Qi training, is just Ye Linyuan’s maid.
