Chapter 1078: Enticement of the Art of Dan

“Why don’t you just take a good rest. There is nothing wrong. The guy gave us a lot of valuable things. How can that go wrong? Be careful about your mentality!”

Ye Nantian smiled and said, “I need to be frank to you on one other point. He gave these things to us, so they could only be used on us… Don’t generously give them away. You might not get credit by doing that, and these dan beads might attract greedy attention from the others. That would destroy us all. To be honest with you, these dan beads are in incredible levels. They are not something ordinary people could use. It is our good fortune to have them, but to show off or give them away will lead to huge trouble…”

Gramp Ye nodded. “Absolutely. I am fully aware of it.”

Ye Nantian coldly smiled and said, “You know it, but it doesn’t mean you won’t do it. You just took away one Heaven Climbing Dan bead. What do you want to do with it? Do you want to give it to the forefather? Huh? Don’t you dare deny it!”

Gramp Ye blushed. He embarra.s.sedly said, “The forefather has been stuck in level two of Dao Origin Stage for a long time. He doesn’t have much time left. I think with the help of one Heaven Climbing Dan bead, he may be able to break it out and reach level three. Then…”

Ye Nantian sneered. “Then what? Would he appreciate your devotion? As the protector of Ye Clan, he will only take whatever we do for him as granted. He will only ask you for more dan beads. He will make you tell him how to get the dan beads and where your dan beads are from. If you don’t answer him, he will turn ruthless to you. He will make a decision to let himself be the guy who takes charge of distributing the dan beads, and speaks like it is the only way to benefit everybody in the clan, for the sake of the clan. Father, don’t you agree? You can argue against me as long as you think you have a good reason to!”

“No… He won’t… Forefather is not that kind of person… No way… He would never…” Gramp Ye murmured like he was trying to persuade himself also arguing against Ye Nantian.

“No? Father, do you even believe what you just said?” Ye Nantian sneered.

“Fine. I won’t give him the dan bead since you don’t allow me to. I will follow your words. Okay?” Gramp Ye awkwardly spoke.

“Just focus on cultivation. This is the only thing we have to do. Our own improvement is the priority…” Ye Nantian said.

“That’s true. It is better we become stronger than the others do. Oh right. Did you ask your son about his cultivation level?” Gramp Ye suddenly thought of such a question.

Ye Nantian slapped on his own leg and said, “Oh I forgot… Let’s ask him tomorrow. The kid actually didn’t report it to me by himself and actually made me ask him first. Stupid son…”

For cultivators, it was always a priority to improve themselves.

Especially when they had an excellent opportunity to make a great progress. One should seize the opportunity and take full use of it as soon as possible!

Only after that would the opportunity offered be theirs alone.

If they kept the opportunity and didn’t make use of it soon, it might eventually benefit others…

Ye Nantian and Gramp Ye had made the decision, so they focused on their own cultivation.

Ye Xiao had a conversation with the old lady, and then he found an excuse to leave. The old lady continued the beauty treatment…

For a woman, it was not the most important thing to improve in cultivation. In fact, nothing could compare regaining beauty and youth!

Ye Xiao sneakily went to Han Bingxue’s room and then wiped the cold sweat on the forehead. “Hmm… I looked forward to the feeling of home, but now I just feel weird.”

Han Bingxue rolled his eyes up and didn’t respond.

With his high position in martial art, if not for Ye Xiao, he would never be in touch with such a small clan.

It was boring.

He even had to lower himself to act like an entourage. It was not just boring. It was annoying!

However, he was interested in one thing.

“Boss, I have a question…” He frowned and looked lost in thoughts. “About Heaven Climbing Dan.”

“Hmm? What is it? Didn’t I make it clear to you?” Ye Xiao looked at him.

“One of it can provide one hundred years of cultivation. I can take multiple of it, and it won’t be deducted in effect. I tried, and it is real, although the efficacy was deducted a little bit after I took many. One hundred dan beads could surely provide nine thousand years of cultivation at least. Is it correct?”

He continued, “According to this, if I take ten thousand of it, am I going to get one million years of cultivation?”

He apparently didn’t fully understand it yet.

He had been cultivating so hard on his own, and sometimes, he would get some dan beads by luck. He had used some, so he knew that dan beads were good things. However, he never truly understood how it worked.

“Your problem is problematic, both in the broad sense or in the narrow sense.” Ye Xiao frowned and looked at him.

Han Bingxue giggled.

In fact, although Ye Xiao said so, he also didn’t quite understand it when he used to be Xiao Monarch.

He started to understand it only after he accessed the area of dan-making.

“First of all, in the narrow sense, you misunderstand one thing. You said it yourself, for Heaven Climbing Dan in supreme level, when you take a few of it, it won’t have its effects reduced. However, when you take a lot, it still will be. One hundred dan beads technically can provide ten thousand years of cultivation, but in fact only about nine thousand. That’s true. If you take ten thousand of it, you won’t get anything after the first fifteen thousand years of cultivation. Dan beads in supreme level are extraordinary, but they still have limits. Our bodies also have limitations on digesting them. It is impossible to keep improving forever!”

“Hmm. That’s true. I was being stupid. I only thought of reaching the sky within one step. I thought I could get one hundred years of cultivation within seconds! What a dream!” Han Bingxue giggled.

“That was in a narrow sense. In the broad sense, what you thought is ridiculous and foolish. To improve oneself with dan beads is basically a shortcut to success.” Ye Xiao organized his thoughts and said with discretion, “Such a shortcut may lead to a satisfactory outcome, but it is unwise to abuse it.”

“No matter what dan beads you are using, you better have a certain capability to cooperate with it. That is the best choice.”
