Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Vowing Revenge

Despite having overheard some rumors before, Ye Lingyue never imagined that the entire truth was thousands of times more cruel than she had thought. If it were not for Ye Huangyu’s own admission, Ye Lingyue would not dare to believe that it was all real.

"Ling Yue, your mother knows the grievances in your heart, but the Hong Residence is nobility of Daxia, brimming with prodigies. Their strength is by no means something you can currently compete with. Your mother heard that the female disciple from that sect has also given birth to twins, a dragon and phoenix pair, two months after the marriage. Among them, the girl child is named Hong Mingzhu. She has shown extraordinary talent from a young age and is now a high-level elixir master. In the end, it all comes down to your mother being useless and unable to protect you," sighed Ye Huangyu.

Both born of the Hong Residence’s bloodline and both thirteen years old, yet the treatment of her daughter and Hong Fang’s treasured pearl could not be more different.

"Mother, you just mentioned the Elixir Realm. Does a martial artist’s cultivation not just consist of Refining Body, Postnatal, and Innate?" Ye Lingyue forcefully suppressed the rage in her heart.

"Since you’ve always stayed in Qiufeng Town, your mother didn’t speak much about it. Martial artist cultivation is vast and complex. After you went to Li City, you must have realized that a martial artist’s cultivation levels, aside from the nine levels of body refinement, also include the Postnatal Realm (Small Success, Great Success, Peak), Innate Realm (Minor Perfection, Great Perfection, Peak), Elixir Realm, Reincarnation Realm, Divine Power Realm, Void Realm, and Ghost God Realm. Within these martial realms, there are various stages as well. Your mother is not very clear on the details."

Originally, when Ye Huangyu returned with her daughter, she merely hoped to provide for her simple-minded daughter’s basic needs, ensuring a peaceful and secure life.

But now, Ye Lingyue had learned martial arts, and Ye Huangyu also discovered that Ye Lingyue’s talent in martial arts was incredibly high. She has already reached the Body Refining Eighth Layer Realm.

At this rate, the small Li City will no longer be able to contain her daughter.

Alongside delight, Ye Huangyu also felt some worry – she knew her daughter’s temperament well. Knowing of the old affairs of the Hong Residence, how could she rest and let things be.

Having heard her mother’s words, Ye Lingyue secretly thought of Hong Fang’s treasured pearl, Hong Mingzhu, whose cultivation was in the Elixir Realm.

The gap between herself and Hong Mingzhu spanned three martial realms - the Postnatal, Innate, and Elixir Realms.

Yet, Ye Lingyue did not have the slightest intention of retreating.

Hong Mingzhu was born into a Marquis Mansion and had the backing of a sect disciple; her martial realm was inevitably bolstered through numerous spiritual medicines.

On the other hand, Ye Lingyue was poor and had started learning martial arts just a few months ago.

The one with nothing to lose does not fear the one with everything. She was determined to defeat Hong Mingzhu and leave the Hong Residence in utter turmoil.

The reason why Ye Huangyu told Ye Lingyue not to go to the Imperial City before reaching the Elixir Realm was partly to protect her daughter, and partly to persuade her to know her limits and retreat.

However, what she did not know was that this, in fact, further fueled Ye Lingyue’s competitive spirit.

Her strength might not be sufficient for now, but Ye Lingyue had spiritual power at her disposal, as well as the Hong Meng Heaven. With her practice being twice as effective, Ye Lingyue believed that with enough time, she would one day surpass Hong Mingzhu.

After the Song Family was annihilated, the Ye Family finally settled down.

Ye Huangyu began to take over the family affairs again, while the other juniors were busy with their cultivation, hoping for more chances to enter the Xuanyin Jade Vein. However, it was Ye Lingyue who became the most idle among them.

Aside from cultivation, she spent most of her time in the Hong Meng Heaven researching how to brew the century-old monkey wine and develop the Hong Meng Heaven.

After learning about the hardships her mother endured back then, Ye Lingyue understood that to seek revenge, martial arts alone was far from enough.

Within the territory of Daxia, the class hierarchy was distinct; the disparity between nobles and the common folk was not only in familial heritage but, more importantly, in the formidable wealth and rich Martial Arts foundations that nobility possessed.

For instance, within the Ye Family, the most high-level Basic Martial Arts they had was merely Eighth-tier. However, within a Marquis Mansion like the Hong Residence, any randomly selected Martial Arts Stone Carving could be of the Seventh or Eighth Rank, or even the Fourth or Fifth Rank.

Within the Ye Family, the Xuanyin Jade Vein, which was considered an invaluable treasure, was so common in places like the Hong Residence that every descendant who reached the Refining Body Fifth Layer was entitled to a monthly allotment of Blue Pattern Xuanyin Elixirs in varying amounts.

The Hong Residence even had its own Alchemists and Artifact Refiners, providing focused training to the prodigious descendants under the Old Marquis’ care.

Not to mention, within the Hong Residence was Zhuge Rou; rumors had it that the sect behind her was a First-tier Sect, with a status in Daxia that even transcended that of the Imperial Family.

Such was the state of the noble and mighty Hong Residence. When compared to the Royal Family in Imperial City, the current Ye Family was nothing more than an ant-like existence.

Although there had been a falling out with his daughter, Ye Huangyu, Ye Gu had still rushed to the Hong Residence, hoping to confront Hong Fang and the Master of the Hong Residence for an explanation when she was driven out.

But before Ye Gu could even meet anyone, he was beaten and thrown out by the fierce and aggressive guards of the Hong Residence. He then went to various government offices in Imperial City, even to Shuntian Prefecture, but as soon as they heard it involved the Hong Residence, they either drove Ye Gu away or beat him severely.

All of this was confidentially relayed to Ye Lingyue by her second uncle, Ye Huangshu, after he reconciled with Ye Huangyu.

In this world, there was no such thing as natural justice or royal laws; only strength prevailed, where a larger fist meant everything.

And for Ye Lingyue, in order to close the gap between the Ye Family and the Hong Residence, the first thing she had to do was to leverage the century-old monkey wine to establish relationships with the governor’s mansion, and even with Imperial City.

Being a Commandery Princess, Lan Cai’er and her circle of friends were all royalty. As long as one could enter their circle and gradually establish a huge industry beyond the Xuantie Ore, only then could the Ye Family truly rise.

Lately, Ye Lingyue had made a fortune by selling medicinal herbs from Hong Meng Heaven and trading the Blue Pattern Xuanyin Elixirs.

With that money, she purchased a large quantity of medicinal herb seeds.

Adding to the batch of Medicinal Grass conned from Sha Kuang and his son earlier, Hong Meng Heaven was now enriched with several dozen more precious Medicinal Grass varieties.

The more Medicinal Grass there were, the more abundant the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi within Hong Meng Heaven became.

Ye Lingyue planted the fruits and put them in jars, adding yeast, sealing them with yellow mud, and burying them underground.

Ordinary wine would require more than a year of fermentation to be brewed successfully, but time in Hong Meng Heaven passed much faster than in the outside world; one night there equated to a year.

She also added some precious medicinal materials to the original batch of century-old monkey wine recipe.

The next day, Ye Lingyue dug out the wine and took a sip, finding it already rich in flavor.

She then further purified the monkey wine using Cauldron Breath and the final taste of the Hundred Fruit Wine was nearly identical to the initial century-old monkey wine.

She believed that as long as the wine was provided to Drunk Immortal Inn, it would meet Lan Cai’er’s requirements.

Therefore, Ye Lingyue purified several jars of wine, planning to deliver them to the governor’s mansion on her next trip to the county town.
