Chapter 19 Here it Comes, an Opportunity has Appeared! _1

Cultivation Technique, the core of a power.

No matter what the power is, they won't easily share postnatal-level Cultivation Techniques and martial arts skills.

Cultivation Technique, Cultivation Technique, has almost become Ye Fan's worry.

"Dad, Dad, great news, Lulu is pregnant."

Ye Jintian came to Ye Fan with a flushed face and announced the good news to him.

"Lulu is pregnant!"

Hearing this news, Ye Fan too was excited.

On the one hand, he was excited because he was going to be a grandfather, and on the other hand, when Jia Lu's child is born, the second phase of the long-term population task will be completed as well.

Over the last year, Ye Fan had tried hard but no success.

But despite his hard work every day, they still didn't conceive, and Ye Fan had lost hope too.

Now, finally, he made it.

Ye Fan heavily patted on Ye Jintian's shoulder, not bad for his own breed, powerful.

"Someone come, let the kitchen prepare more nutritious food, nourish the future lady."

"Little Tian, keep these Hundred Ginseng elixirs by your side, pregnancy is a big deal, you must take care of Lulu."

Ye Fan carefully instructed, reminding Ye Jintian to be aware.

Now that Little Tian's child was also soon to be born, only Little Hai was left.

Speaking of Ye Jinhai, Ye Fan suddenly got a bit gloomy.

Ye Jinhai, who was about to turn nineteen, Ye Fan had never seen him getting intimate with any girl.

When Ye Jintian got married, Ye Jinhai couldn't wait to grow up and get a wife.

Now that he's grown up, he's become silent about it.

Now Ye Jinhai's favorite activity was practicing martial arts.

Every day with a knife, he was booming in spirit.

"Little Hai, how about letting your mother introduce a partner to you? Didn't you always admire your elder brother for having a partner?"

Hearing Ye Fan's words, Ye Jinhai immediately outstepped.

"Dad, that was when I was young and naive, now I understand, women will only slow down my sword drawing speed."

Ye Fan's face froze in an instant, women slow down your sword drawing speed?

The next moment, Ye Fan booted Ye Jinhai's butt.

"I let you draw the sword, I let you draw the sword."

Ye Fan was angry, and it was serious.

Ye Jinhai yelped and ran out, "Hmph, you think I don't know? Every day, brother walks with his back bent, this affects his cultivation!"

Jia Lu's pregnancy is a big event for Ye Family.

In the past, Ye Family's conditions were average, they couldn't nurture the child right from the womb. Therefore, if not for the advantage of the family gene, the quintessence was actually quite general.

Now that they have the conditions, it's essential to start nourishing right from the womb.

Ye Fan wasn't lacking in elixir formulas, over the years, after constant reading of medical books, his understanding of medicine became much more profound.

Eventually, Ye Fan spent an entire week creating a new pill formula, the Replenishing Yuan elixir.

With twenty years of Replenishing Yuan grass as a principle medicine, combined with Motherwort, Earth Dragon root, and other medicinal materials, it could supplement the vitality of the unborn child and enhance the talents.

One Replenishing Yuan elixir every ten days, one pill costs a hundred silver at the factory price.

For the child, indeed it's the most expensive.

The Replenishing Yuan elixir needs to be consumed regularly, the monthly expenditure of three hundred silver was snow on top of a frost for the not-so-rich Ye Family.

Over the past year and half, Ye Family barely held on, supplemented by the sales of Boiling Blood elixir from Li Qian's side.

However, the constant consumption made it difficult for Ye Fan to even get a thousand silver now.

No, this won't do, they must start earning money now.

Ye Family, also needed to increase their assets.

Asset allocation is very important in becoming a big clan.

In this regard, Ye Fan was a bit lacking, he needed to strengthen it.

Getting down to it, Ye Fan immediately started investigating suitable assets.

Meanwhile, not far from Changhe Town, a group of people were constantly excavating a place.

Suddenly, a person excitedly raised his pickaxe.

"Found it, found it."

Several red-brown ores were dug up.

"Red Iron Ore, excellent, excellent."

The burly man was so excited that he didn't even bother to dust off the mud on the ore.

The next moment, an arrow suddenly shot through the man's head.

His head burst open like a ripe watermelon, with blood staining the ore.

A group of brawny martial artists in tough armor suddenly rushed out of the woods, yelling, "Kill."

"It's the Black Mountain Thieves, run!"

The workers scattered and fled.

But facing the wolf-like martial artists, these workers couldn't get very far.

Soon, bodies covered the ground.

"Leader, per your instructions, we've let three people escape."

"Good, now we just await the good news."

Dressed in black armor, the menacing leader of the Black Mountain Thieves, "Blood Hands Xue Ning", laughed heartily.

Soon, the news of the discovery of Red Iron Ore at Changhe Town spread among the major families of Changhe Town.

Ye Fan also received the news.

Red Iron Ore, which produces Red Iron, is an excellent material for making weapons, and it's valuable.

If the Ye family could secure it, they wouldn't be lacking resources temporarily.

However, Ye Fan felt something was off. This sounded too good to be true, just like in the novels he'd read.

Should he go or shouldn't he?

In the end, Ye Fan decided to check it out first.

It shouldn't be too dangerous, right?

He definitely didn't want to miss this golden opportunity.

Just like that, the usually quiet Changhe Town bustled with activity.

The major families of Changhe Town were itching to take action.

Red Iron Ore – such a huge pie – the mere Black Mountain Thieves would not quell their greed.

The most formidable of the Black Mountain Thieves was "Blood Hands Xue Ning", who was a martial artist at the peak of the 9th rank.

They had many martial artists here. Who would be afraid of a single Xue Ning?

Powerful families held a winning hand. Many smaller families began to form alliances in order not to be left behind.

Thus, three days later, several dozens of martial artists set off for the Red Iron Ore deposit in unison.

"Patriarch Ye, you're here too."

"Patriarch Ye, how about we join forces?"

Ye Fan's arrival quickly captured the attention of the other families.

The Ye Family was on the rise in Changhe Town, so it was impossible for Ye Fan to keep a low profile.

"No, no, I'm just here to look."

Ye Fan politely declined, and clamped his horse's belly, leisurely following behind the crowd towards the outskirts of the town.

...

At East Mountain, where the Red Iron Ore deposit was located, martial artists soon found traces of excavation.

Li Chang, the head of the Li Family in Changhe Town, circulated his power and punched the mountain wall.

The mountain rock split apart, revealing a piece of red ore that fell down.

Li Chang picked up the ore, excitement spreading across his face. It was indeed Red Iron Ore.

"My friends, we're all major families in Changhe Town, let's not spoil the harmony. How about we discuss how to distribute this Red Iron Ore?"

Greed flickered in many eyes. Based on the surveys, the deposit held a vast quantity of Red Iron Ore.

With such huge profits, everyone wanted a bigger share.

The martial artists at the 9th rank, in particular, exchanged looks, with unknown thoughts swirling in their minds.

Just then, suddenly the whistling sound of objects breaking through the air echoed.

"Damn it, it's a trap—Crossbows!"
