Primordial Star Scripture

"Yes, after passing Qizhou City, and walking for half a day more, we'll be able to return to Qingyang City, back to our family clan!"

Hearing Tao'er's words, Ye Chen also felt a surge of emotion.

His soul had fused with his previous incarnation, and he experienced all of his predecessor's memories as if they were his own.

He, too, missed the family clan that he had left at the age of twelve and had not returned to for three years.

In the past two years, because his cultivation had made no progress, remaining at the first level of True Qi, he was too embarrassed to go back to the family clan, afraid of being gossiped about for achieving nothing and bringing shame to his parents.

Now, Ye Chen had successfully cultivated to the sixth level of True Qi, and his true combat strength even allowed him to overpower martial artists at the tenth level of True Qi. At this moment, he possessed enough confidence to return to the family clan, enough confidence to make his parents proud of him!

"Dad, Mom, it's getting dark. Let's rest for the night in Qizhou City today. After a good rest, we should be able to make it back to the family clan by noon at the latest tomorrow."

Ye Chen spoke to his parents seated at the back of the carriage.

"Chen'er, it's fine to rest in Qizhou City, but let's not stay in an expensive inn again. You've already spent quite a bit of silver these past few days. We need to save some," Ye Chen's father, Ye Xiaotian, said.

"Yes, Chen'er, listen to your dad. The four of us can just find a cheaper inn. We're all family; there's no need to be so fancy," Ye Chen's mother, Lin Rin, also spoke softly.

After leaving the Qingyun Sect, Ye Chen and his parents, along with Tao'er, hired a carriage to travel back to Qingyang City.

Among the four of them, aside from Ye Chen, who was a cultivator, his father, Ye Xiaotian, mother, Lin Rin, and the young servant girl Tao'er were all ordinary mortals who had not opened their Qi Sea; naturally, they could not endure the fatigue of travel. After nightfall, Ye Chen would find an inn for them to rest.

His parents and Tao'er treated Ye Chen exceptionally well, so of course, he wouldn't let them suffer any discomfort. The inns they had stayed at these past few days were the best in the small towns they passed through, the finest rooms available!

Naturally, this had cost quite a bit of silver. Ye Chen's parents had been taken to the Qingyun Sect by Zhou Yuntian and didn't carry any silver coins with them, so all the expenses for the inn stays were covered by Ye Chen, which made his parents feel somewhat distressed.

"Master! Madam!" Tao'er chuckled upon hearing Ye Xiaotian and Lin Rin, "The young master has money now; spending on inns won't even put a dent in his silver!"

"I've noticed that the young master still has a whole bunch of gold banknotes, at least several hundred thousand taels!"

"Several hundred thousand taels?!" Tao'er's words shocked Ye Xiaotian and Lin Rin, "Chen'er, how did you get so much silver?"

The two of them managed the family's properties and only made about forty to fifty thousand silver coins a year. After expenses, they would save some of the money to send to Ye Chen for his cultivation. Even so, they could only save up about ten to twenty thousand silver coins to give to Ye Chen each year.

Even if Ye Chen hadn't spent a single coin of silver over the past two years, there was no way he could have hundreds of thousands of silver coins!

Tao'er's words were, of course, astoundingly surprising to Ye Xiaotian and Lin Rin.

"Master, Madam, this is what you don't understand!" Tao'er's bright eyes looked at her young master, Ye Chen, "The young master is a martial artist now. I've heard that just by hunting a demon beast, a martial artist can earn several thousand taels, even tens of thousands of taels."

"With the young master being so powerful, having several hundred thousand taels of silver is quite an easy feat!"

Tao'er's words left Ye Chen's parents both startled; they had heard that martial artists could earn money easily but did not expect it to be so simple!

No wonder everyone wants to cultivate martial arts! It seems that encouraging their child to practice martial arts was indeed the right choice!

Seeing little Tao'er startling her parents with her acuteness, Ye Chen found it somewhat amusing at the bottom of his heart.

Indeed, Tao'er had sharp eyes!

As Tao'er said, martial artists often gain substantial silver coins by slaying demon beasts. However, the cultivation expenses of martial artists are also very high. The reason Ye Chen had so much silver on him was not because he had hunted demon beasts, but because he had obtained it from Zhou Hai.

Originally, when he killed Zhou Hai, he not only obtained two Spirit Talismans from him but also a large roll of Gold Banknotes as an extra reward.

His parents had been implicated because of Zhou Hai, and these Gold Banknotes were just perfect for allowing his parents to truly enjoy themselves!

Ye Chen planned to treat his parents to good food and lodging on the way home in the next few days, and leave the remaining silver coins for his parents to spend in the family.

He was already strong enough now; he no longer needed his parents to worry or save money on his behalf!

Now was the time for him to filially care for his parents!

Ye Chen didn't debunk Tao'er's words. After all, if he said that these Gold Banknotes came from Zhou Hai, he feared his parents would not feel comfortable spending them.

"Dad, Mom, Tao'er is right. Your son is now a Martial Artist of the True Qi Sixth Layer. Even a True Qi Tenth Layer expert can't beat me! This small amount of silver is nothing!" Ye Chen said with a laugh, "Later when we enter Qizhou City, we'll stay in the largest inn, eat the best food, and stay in the best room! Dad and Mom, go ahead and spend freely, you definitely can't finish it all!"

Hearing Ye Chen's words brimming with confidence, Ye Xiaotian and Lin Rin exchanged glances, with a hint of tears welling up in their eyes.

When they were captured by Zhou Yuntian and taken to Qingyun Sect, their greatest worry was not for themselves but for their son Ye Chen.

They feared that their son would suffer endless torment facing those powerful figures capable of soaring through the skies and burrowing into the earth.

However, their son Ye Chen not only successfully rescued them from Qingyun Sect, but even the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect personally saw them out with great respect.

From the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect's polite treatment of Ye Chen, they knew their son had changed; he could now hold up a piece of the sky on his own!

Latterly, they even overheard Tao'er mentioning in whispers that even the most powerful figure in the eastern domain of Tianfeng Nation, the formidable being known as Galo Fairy, held Ye Chen in high regard. Moreover, Galo Fairy's disciple, Jiang Yao, the number one talent of the thirty-six sects, also harbored deep affection for Ye Chen.

This dissipated all of Ye Xiaotian and Lin Rin's worries, and they truly felt a sense of pride and relief. They were genuinely proud of their son Ye Chen!

It was a feeling they had never experienced in their more than thirty years of striving in Qingyang City, the sense of pride their child gave them!

Which parent doesn't wish for their child to be strong?!

Though reluctant to use their child's silver, when a child has enough strength to spend silver on their behalf, what parent wouldn't be immensely proud?!

"Alright!"

"Alright!"

Ye Xiaotian and Lin Rin both dabbed at their eyes to stop the happy tears: "Today, we will use Chen'er's silver to stay in the largest inn!"
