Chapter 371 Exchange of Interests
At night, Ye Kang and the Carp God entered the cave dwelling arranged by the Tang family.
Although it's called a cave dwelling, it's actually just a courtyard. It's quite large, with its own pond, garden, waterwheel, east and west wing rooms, and even two servants.
An elderly woman who cleans the house, and an older woman who cooks.
Ye Kang and Li Shen each had a room, which they found quite spacious.
Ye Kang also took out the black and white spirit fish and put them into the pond to raise.
This fish had been staying in the Moyu Ancient Treasure for a while.
This is a new use discovered by Ye Kang. Since the ancient black jade artifact was completely restored, not only has the space become larger and the inheritance become more apparent, but a small, misty space has also been added.
This space is located on the edge of the ancient treasure, surrounded by a thick fog, and separated from the main space. Living things can also be temporarily stored in this small space.
For example, the black and white spirit fish is only the length of a finger. If you put it in a fish tank, the black jade treasure can guarantee that it will not die within ten days.
However, the effect diminishes drastically once the body size increases.
When Ye Kang was on the boat, he once caught a 100-pound grouper to test whether it could survive in the Moyu Ancient Treasure. As a result, the grouper lost its vitality after only one day.
He concluded that the small space of the ancient jade artifact could store living things, but only temporarily; the larger the creature, the shorter the time.
If it were like the Koi God, a giant dragon-shaped koi, it would probably have to be taken out after only a few breaths.
After releasing the black and white spirit fish into the pond, Ye Kang took out several spirit stones and set up a small spirit-gathering array to make the pond even more vibrant.
Ye Kang's breakthrough was too rapid, and he doesn't plan to break through to the Seven Leaves stage immediately. Otherwise, his foundation will be unstable, which could easily affect his mind.
After doing all this, he began to cultivate in the room, circulating his true energy while also taking a break.
Meanwhile, inside the Tang family's council hall.
Tang Xuenian looked solemnly at the old man in white robes in front of her: "Father, can you tell Wang Yintai's identity?"
The old man in the white robe turned around. Although he had white hair and a silver beard, his face was as handsome and youthful as a young man's.
He chuckled knowingly and said, "Do you think I'm omnipotent? That kid's got some skills. He's very secretive. You can't tell anything from a distance, but he'll definitely find out when you get close."
"So, he's not some rogue cultivator without any connections?"
"So what if it is or isn't? Xue Nian, let me ask you, what does the Tang family do?"
Tang Xuenian answered without hesitation, "He is a formation master."
"That's settled then. From the moment that kid entered the protective mountain formation, I could tell that he was using an ancient method of breaking formations."
"what!"
Tang Xuenian's eyes showed shock.
Although he had long suspected that Ye Kang's array formation inheritance was unusual, he never expected it to be connected to the ancient times.
Ancient formations are completely different from modern systems, and most of their inheritance has been lost, with only a very few major powers still retaining a portion of them.
At least Tang Xuenian had never seen anyone actually use ancient methods.
He asked incredulously, "Father thinks that the boy possesses an ancient array formation inheritance? That it could be helpful to us?"
"That's natural," the old man in white robes sighed.
"The Tang family is facing a severe shortage of capable successors. In the art of formations, innovation is fundamental. For us, ancient methods are precisely new things we have never encountered before. Perhaps this kid can really help the Tang family go further in the art of formations."
"So that's why Father sent him to teach students at the Dharma Hall? How do you know he's willing to share his teachings?"
Tang Xuenian asked himself honestly, if it were him, he probably wouldn't be willing to share.
The white-robed old man snorted coldly and said, "That kid has a problem. He came to the Tang family not to become a guest elder, but must have a bigger purpose. But it doesn't matter. The skills he showed were just to exchange benefits with the Tang family and learn his skills. As long as what he does does not involve the Tang family and the Tyrant Whale Sect, we will turn a blind eye."
Tang Xuenian suddenly understood; her father was indeed very thoughtful.
I never expected that this old man and the young man would be more cunning than I, the head of the family. What kind of situation is this?
He shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to take his leave.
With his father watching over him, he wasn't afraid of Ye Kang causing any trouble.
……
the next day.
Ye Kang got up early and saw that the Carp Goddess was still fast asleep, so he gave the cook 100 spirit crystals and asked her to buy some food so that the Carp Goddess could eat it when she was hungry.
He then followed the road signs and arrived at the Tang Family Dharma Hall.
This place is similar to a huge private school, with various departments that teach cultivation, martial arts, weaponry, and formations.
Ye Kang wandered around casually. There were people in the Dharma Transmission Hall ranging from six to thirty years old, many of whom were older than Ye Kang.
Fortunately, he now looks like Wang Yintai, and he looks rather weathered, so the incongruity isn't too strong.
Even so, a few young men walked over with their arms crossed: "Who are you? I've never seen you before?"
Ye Kang said, "I'm a new teacher, just call me Teacher Wang."
"You? Teacher?"
The young men were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"You, a teacher? What's your level of cultivation? Let me see."
With a thought, Ye Kang conjured up a six-petaled lotus flower.
The crowd looked on with disdain.
A naive fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy said disdainfully, "He dares to impersonate a teacher when he's only at the sixth level of cultivation. My brother is already at the seventh level, and he can only be a patrolman."
"Exactly! Do you know where this is? This is the Dharma Transmission Hall, where just anyone can come and go as they please!"
"Get out! Don't disrupt our class!"
A group of students were indignant. Ye Kang smiled helplessly and said, "You don't believe me?"
"Of course I don't believe it."
"Then let's make a bet."
"what?"
"If what I say is true, then you will all do five hundred frog jumps around the Dharma Hall, how about that?"
Hearing Ye Kang say that, the boys became a little intimidated.
But some people still refused to believe it and said, "What if you're lying?"
"Then I'll do a thousand frog jumps."
"Fine, I'll bet! I refuse to believe that someone like you, Rokuyo, can be a teacher!"
"That's right! Who's afraid of who!"
A group of teenagers making a ruckus immediately attracted the attention of everyone attending early morning classes.
Soon, more than a dozen people had joined the betting. Ye Kang had no choice but to go to the training center with them.
The head instructor of the Dharma Transmission Hall is none other than the Tang family's Grand Elder.
The middle-aged woman raised her eyelids and listened to the accusations of the younger generation, her face growing increasingly dark.
"Shut up, all of you! You bunch of impatient people, is this how you're taught? This is the new teacher, Mr. Wang. You've all been disrespecting your teachers and gambling in secret. You're all here to copy the rules of the Transmission Hall one hundred times!"
When the elder got angry, the whole place fell silent. The dozen or so people who were being punished turned pale and were sweating profusely.
The others looked at Ye Kang with curiosity.
"This teacher is so young!"
"He doesn't seem that much older than me, can he really teach anything?"
"Stop questioning, the Grand Elder has spoken, those people are doomed."
A short while later, outside the Dharma Hall, a dozen people lined up and began frog jumps.
