Ye Futian had done a lot of things for Four Corner Village, indeed. He was the one who helped Little Ling gain the awakening and inherit the Divine Technique.
After that, he brought together the young people in the village and directed them to cultivate under the ancient tree, which helped them start their cultivation journey. Fang Cun and Duo Yu both gained awakenings subsequently.
It could be argued that three Divine Techniques emerged owing to Ye Futian. Therefore, Ye Futian certainly made a considerable contribution to Four Corner Village.
Having said that, Ye Futian was not a native of Four Corner Village. He was an outsider who possessed great fortune.
