Chapter 1074: Doesn’t Look Good

Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy

"The problem is the absence of your son! What you said is difficult to prove!" Gramp Ye spoke angrily, but then he became excited about it. "Nantian, is my grandson… really that good?"

"Absolutely! Look whose son he is!" Ye Nantian's solemn face finally showed a smile.

That was a spoiling smile.

Gramp Ye half closed his eyes, soaked in the imagination of his grandson's face, and showed a longing smile in the face.

"Ah. Xiao Xiao is not here. It won't help no matter how powerful he is. Nantian, you have been teaching the youngsters in the clan recently. You know best about those kids. How may lotuses do you think… we can keep with us this time?"

They criticized the clan as they wanted, but Gramp Ye still cared for the clan in spite of himself.

"The arena…" Ye Nantian honestly didn't like to be involved in this affair. He didn't even want to make any comments. However, he had to think about it since his father asked him to.

After thinking for a while, he spoke in a deep voice, "About ten of our men have eighty percent odds to win if we don't have to fight any extraordinary rivals. Another ten have fifty percent chance to win. About twenty of the rest can try for their luck but only have a thirty percent chance to win. If we are lucky, several of these twenty men will win."

"In your opinion, we can get about thirty lotuses in this arena event. Is that correct?" Ye Shuqing's face turned pale.

"Yes. And it is an optimistic estimation. It will roughly be the number you said." Ye Nantian measured all the clans' powers in his mind and said, "If unluckily the other clans deliberately targeted us, we will get no more than twenty. To fight the average horse with the best one, to fight the worst horse with the average one, and to lose the fight against the best horse with our worst, it was an old battle strategy. I believe you understand it!"

Gramp Ye stayed silent.

He knew the other clans would target Ye Clan on the stage. He also knew the other clans would use the strategy Ye Nantian just mentioned.

All in all, Ye Clan was going to have a tough time!

Ye Clan could never defeat the joint force of all the other clans who were from inside ten thousand miles!

Ye Clan was lucky enough to not collapse in the previous fights against those clans.

They had to attend the arena. The only thing they could do was to try their best to save as many as lotuses as they could!

"If the prescriptive age was over us…" Ye Nantian blandly said, "If I can go attend the fights, I can make sure none of the lotuses would go to other's pocket!"

"It's a pity you can't." Gramp Ye made a deep sigh.

"I won't go attend the fights even if I could." Ye Nantian rolled his eyes. "They murdered my brother. My son can't come home because of them. I am not stupid. I won't devote a bit to this clan! I am not a fool!"

In fact, he hadn't said everything. Regeneration Ink Lotus meant nothing to him. He had plenty of supreme dan beads which were given to him by his son. Those were stunning treasures. Anyone of them could dazzle all the other people in the clan. However, he wouldn't take it out to save the clan.

[My son gave them to me. Why should I use them on this ruthless clan?]

He wasn't thinking too highly of it. Although the lotuses meant a great deal to Misty Cloud Palace, they weren't valuable to the other people who were not people of Misty Cloud Palace!

Ye Nantian could just go talk to a dominant sect, such as the seven great sects, and offer some supreme dan beads. He would definitely get the great sect to accept Ye Clan as their ally. Ye Clan could shortly become a proxy of a great sect in Oracle District!

Supreme dan was something people hadn't seen for too long in Qing-Yun Realm. It meant a great deal to any sects!

All dan-makers that served the great sects had brilliant capabilities. Unlike Ye Xiao, a fake dan-maker, they were trapped in the bottleneck in the path of dan-making. All they needed was an opportunity to upgrade to a new level.

Supreme dan was the opportunity they all dreamt of!

If they could get a supreme dan bead and analyze it, the inspiration would improve them immediately!

Ye Xiao had given Han Bingxue a Heaven Climbing Dan bead. It was undoubtedly a great thing, but it wasn't that valuable to the great sects. Usually, a cultivator could take no more than one bead in their life. It would provide cultivation of thirty years, however, the cultivation energy wasn't pure. The cultivator had to spend a lot of time to refine and digest it. It was a waste of time, and it might bring a reverse impact on the cultivator!

Heaven Climbing Dan in high level could provide fifty years of cultivation. It was purer, however, it took a longer time to fully digest the dan beads.

A cultivator could still only take one bead. To take more wouldn't add more effect.

Heaven Climbing Dan with dan glow was basically the best outcome that just a few dan makers in the history of Qing-Yun Realm created. It provided an addition of a hundred years of cultivation with high purity. It didn't require a long time to digest. Most importantly, it was possible to take multiple of it. However, every one more bead a cultivator took, they only got half of the efficacy as the former one. The tenth dan bead would be totally powerless. In other words, no more than three hundred years of cultivation could be added by taking Heaven Climbing Dan with dan glow!

As for the higher level Heaven Climbing Dan, not to mention supreme dan beads with dan cloud, even dan beads with dan mist had never been successfully made in Qing-Yun Realm. That was why Han Bingxue was so surprised and unbelieving when Ye Xiao gave the dan beads to him!

One hundred Heaven Climbing Dan beads in supreme level couldn't give him ten thousand years of cultivation, but he could get at least nine thousand!

After hearing what Ye Nantian said, Gramp Ye was speechless.

When the father and son looked at each other silently, a series of footsteps sounded in a hurry.

A guard hurried in.

"Gramp Ye, Brother Ye, there are two men outside the door. One of them claims to be…" The guard looked at Ye Nantian, "Well…"

"To be what?" Ye Nantian frowned. Apparently, he was annoyed by the paused report.

Ye Nantian had been a great commander in the Lan of Han-Yang for a long time. He had always been decisive. He didn't like the dragging way of doing things. In the old days, he would have gotten the guard captured and cudgeled dozens of times as a penalty!

"A young man claims to be Brother Ye's son," the guard answered in a hesitating manner.
