Legend of the Heavenly Swordsman
Ch.139 - Ye Singsui

Fu Chen prepared a few things as he waited for Ye Kong to tell him. He intended to take Xiao Jung to the meeting as proof that Fu Chen was not lying with his words.

The reason Dou Huang was willing to help Fu Chen was actually so that the young man could immediately learn the books that the Gods had descended. Dou Huang began to sense that his soul energy was getting weaker after punishing Feng Bian back then.

"Teacher, are you sure you want to give up that formula?" Fu Chen felt a little guilty for the sake of helping himself, Dou Huang was willing to sacrifice that extremely powerful pill-making formula, according to him.

Dou Huang simply chuckled softly, "Didn't you ask for it yourself?" he shook his head, "That's it, no need to think about it. After all, the formula was no different from the one they used, but there was one more ingredient they didn't know."

"other stuff? What'sthat?" Fu Chen became curious, could it be that the material was also stored in his Earth ring?

"Haha.. do you want to see it? Alright.." Dou Huang then stuck out his hand into the air, instantly appeared a small jade bottle with a clear liquid inside.

Fu Chen slightly raised an eyebrow, not because of that strange liquid but rather because he had just learned that a Dou Huang could use this Earth ring just like him.

Fu Chen immediately picked up the jade bottle on the palm of a Dou Huang, he was quite surprised because a thick smoke suddenly appeared as he opened the lid of the jade bottle.

"What water is this?" Fu Chen examined the jade bottle back after the white smoke had thinned. Although this liquid emitted smoke yet it did not have the slightest scent, even Fu Chen could confirm that this liquid was water in general.

Ye Kong said that this liquid came from the vapor qi energy. Just like the purple crystal in Feng Bian's cave, this liquid also came from the qi energy wasted by the fox. Previously Dou Huang was not aware of this because Feng Bian had hidden his existence.

Fu Chen nodded in understanding, he remembered washing himself in a pond in the cave as well, and now he found the answer to why his body was suddenly hot.

"This water is so rare, even I myself have only seen it for the first time." Dou Huang had actually also unintentionally found a way to purify the pill with this liquid. Back then he was just trying to research the liquid and the results were very satisfying.

Dou Huang said that a single drop of this liquid could purify up to a hundred grains of the Land Lotus and White Pigeon pills. That one little jade bottle should have been able to be used for three more months by the Gold Star organization, given the limitations of the pill-making materials they had.

The Gold Star Organization would certainly not focus on those two pills alone, they would certainly try to develop the pills they had after knowing this secret. So Dou Huang advised Fu Chen not to mention the liquid supply to them.

Fu Chen could only smile broadly at Dou Huang's words, perhaps this resource could last for hundreds of years given the amount of liquid it contained within Feng Bian's cave. But he will obey the advice of Dou Huang, there will definitely be other useful things produced by the liquid.

Fu Chen had to wait for two days until Ye Kong gave the news. The man said he would send a horse carriage to pick up Fu Chen at the inn. Not to forget Fu Chen also invited Xiao Jung to accompany him.

The two of them turned out not to be taken to one of the Golden Star organization's premises, but instead went straight to the Ye family's residence. The place they are headed is on one side of the city that is rarely visited by visitors.

The Ye family seemed to have its own area in this City, even Fu Chen did not expect that even their gatekeepers were a bunch of first-rate warriors. Actually it was natural considering this family was the founder of the largest organization in the Song Empire.

"Welcome, Sir.." a servant greeted Fu Chen with kindness, Fu Chen answered the servant's greetings and he immediately asked Fu Chen to follow him.

The servant took Fu Chen and Xiao Jung to a simple building surrounded by a circular pond. The atmosphere in the place felt very different, the cool air produced by the surrounding trees made Fu Chen feel comfortable.

"Finally you came, Young Master Tang.." Ye Kong slightly lowered his head as he greeted Fu Chen, but the man suddenly raised his eyebrows when he realized Xiao Jung's whereabouts. He really did not expect that Fu Chen would be able to contact the Xiao family so easily.

"Sorry for not realizing your arrival, Young Master Xiao." Ye Kong lowered his head again.

"What exactly did this child do to make the Ye family official behave like this?" inner Xiao Jung while glancing at Fu Chen, he himself still did not believe this junior of his could make the Patriarch of the Ye family invite him personally.

Fu Chen glanced at a middle-aged man who was sitting cross-legged not far behind Ye Kong, in front of the man was a short table which he used to place his teacup.

Ye Kong invited Fu Chen to meet the 60-year-old man. Ye Kong immediately restrained Xiao Jung when the young man also intended to enter, Ye Kong said that this conversation was only done by the two of them.

Xiao Jung was increasingly curious about what kind of conversation Fu Chen was having. But it seemed that he was self-conscious about his current position, and was just following where Ye Kong was going.

"Sir Ye, why did you forbid me to join Chen'er?" Xiao Jung did not want to hold back his curiosity, the questions that popped up in his head made him uneasy.

"It's not something I can explain to you." Ye Kong shook his head slowly.

The reaction that the Patriarch of the Ye family gave was even beyond Ye Kong's expectations as he recounted Fu Chen's whereabouts. The patriarch seems to still hold a grudge because his clan had been slaughtered by the Tang clan due to betrayal committed by one of their elders.

"Hopefully he wasn't too rash in taking action," Ye Kong murmured softly, he slightly worried about Fu Chen's safety.

Fu Chen himself sat quietly on one side of the table that bounded him with that Patriarch of the Ye family. He had been there for almost a minute, but the middle-aged man was still silent and closed his eyes while enjoying the aroma of a cup of tea.

"How are you, Young Master Tang?" asked the man suddenly, he then let out a long sigh after sipping the tea in his hand.

"Hm, well.." Fu Chen slightly raised an eyebrow.

"I've heard everything from Ye Kong, what is your purpose behind all this?" The man asked again, he was still busy with the tea he was holding.

"If you've heard the whole thing, then you should know my purpose." Fu Chen began to observe the man, his feelings a little uneasy as the man began to look at him quite coldly.

"Do you think the Huang family's cornered can make them stop relating to the Black stream?"

That man named Ye Singsui kept asking Fu Chen questions, he wanted to see to what extent this young man was unaffected by his words.

Fu Chen only answered the questions of this man with a simple smile, although he had never dealt with the Black stream directly yet he had at least had a Dou Huang.

The old spirit had shared a lot of his experience in martial arts with Fu Chen. And all of that certainly helped Fu Chen to take the next step.

"Patriarch Ye, I understand the calm history that made the two great clans 20 years ago fight. But when do we drown in the past and forget how to get to the surface."

Fu Chen was a little troubled to call Ye Singsui, perhaps his words earlier sounded disrespectful to the middle-aged man.

"I've taken the first step towards making those words happen, I'm just asking you to work together again and go a step further to carve out a new name."
