After knowing the whole story, Ye Chen was no longer worried, but began to tell his grandfather and father about what he had gained from his trip to the Northwest Continent.
Of course, what they value most is the strange fire...
"Chen'er, have you found the strange fire you mentioned?" Father Ye asked impatiently.
Ye Chen smiled and nodded, saying: "Of course I found it."
"This time, I found that strange fire in a desert in a small country called the Gama Empire in the northwest continent. It's the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, ranked nineteenth on the Strange Fire List!"
"They actually found it?!" Father Ye was obviously a little surprised.
Originally, in his impression, the possibility of finding something like the strange fire was too small, otherwise, in the hundreds of years since the establishment of the five major families in Danyu, none of them could possess a strange fire.
Although Ye Chen said before he left that he had obtained accurate information about the strange fire, he still didn't have much hope in his heart.
In comparison, Ye Chong is much more stable.
"Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire? What are you going to do with this strange fire, Chen'er? In my opinion, it would be better if you refine it yourself..."
Although he knew that his grandson was born special and possessed a strange companion flame, in the eyes of a traditional alchemist like Ye Chong, the strange fire was no different from the king of all fires, and it was something that every alchemist desired.
Ye Chen chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Grandpa, don't worry. I just mentioned the strange fire I found in the Jia Ma Empire. In fact, on the way back to Zhongzhou, I harvested another strange fire..."
Ye Zhong: "...!"
Ye Lan: "...!"
All of a sudden, Ye Chong and Ye Lan, father and son, were completely stunned.
Even with Ye Zhong's temperament, he couldn't remain calm after hearing this news.
"What did you say? There's another one?!"
Ye Chen nodded silently: "Sea Heart Flame, No. 15 on the Strange Fire List..."
"This... this is really..." Ye Chong was speechless, but in the end he couldn't say a complete sentence.
I feel like this grandson of mine is the child of destiny. Wherever he goes, he can easily encounter treasures that others have longed for their entire lives, and they appear in large numbers...
Well, Ye Lan on the other side was speechless. It looked like he had not recovered from the shock yet.
Ye Zhong took a deep breath, his eyes filled with unconcealed joy as he said, "Okay! Okay!"
With these two strange fires, as long as there is no major accident, such as the Ye family being wiped out, these two strange fires can be passed down indefinitely!
In other words, with these two strange fires, the Ye family can ensure its prosperity for a thousand years, and even have the opportunity to truly become the core of the Dan Tower, the Small Dan Tower!
"Chen'er, what are you going to do with these two strange fires?"
Although Ye Chen is still a minor, at this moment, Ye Zhong has completely regarded him as an adult and one of the people who can decide the future direction of the Ye family. Even Ye's father, the current head of the Ye family, is not qualified for this!
Ye Chen had already prepared an answer to this question, so after Ye Zhong asked, he said directly: "As for this Sea Heart Flame, it's better for you to refine it. That way, you can at least reach the level of the ancestor..."
This "ancestor" was referring to Ye Xun, a peak-level seventh-grade alchemist at his peak. If it weren't for his inability to break through to the spiritual realm, Ye Xun might have very well reached the level of the Ye family's founder...
It's a pity that for the current alchemists, breaking through the spiritual realm of the soul depends entirely on luck, so even with Ye Xun, the strongest talent of the Ye family in hundreds of years, he cannot break through this limit.
From what he learned from Ye Chen's two absences from home, Ye Chong realized that his grandson was definitely not an ordinary person and had great hope of breaking this shackle. This was also an important reason why he decided so early to let the latter participate in the decision-making of the family's future.
However, Ye Zhong was a little hesitant about Ye Chen's proposal.
"Chen'er, Grandpa is very clear about his own qualifications. Even if he possesses the strange fire, he can only barely reach the peak of the seventh rank. It is impossible to reach the level of Ancestor Ye Xun. So, I will leave this Sea Heart Flame to you. I will refine the Azure Lotus Earth Heart Fire..."
For the current Ye family, Ye Zhong represents the present and Ye Chen represents the future. They can be said to be the most important people in the entire family, so this distribution is the most reasonable.
However, Ye Chen directly rejected this proposal and said, "Grandpa, I have decided that I will not refine these two strange fires!"
"Why?" Ye Zhong looked at his very opinionated grandson in confusion.
Ye Chen curled his lips and said, "Well, if I really want to give a reason, it's that the rankings of these two kinds of strange fire are too low. If I were to refine them, it should at least be a strange fire in the top ten of the rankings to be qualified!"
Ye Zhong glared at him, somewhat annoyed by his grandson's boast. He said unhappily, "How dare you say that! Do you know that there hasn't been any news about the top ten strange fires in the past thousand years?"
"Old Ancestor Ye Xun once said that the top ten Strange Fires on the Strange Fire List were likely already possessed! Moreover, such a terrifying existence, let alone my small Ye Family, I'm afraid even Danta wouldn't dare to provoke it easily..."
This is absolutely true!
Ye Chen, who had read the original novel, naturally knew that among the top ten strange fires on the strange fire list, apart from the top three, the fourth one, the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame, was in the hands of the ancient clan, and the fifth one, the Flame of Life, was in the hands of old man Shennong.
Not to mention the former. As the only two nine-star late-stage Dou Sheng-level strongest people after the fall of the Xiao clan, Ye Chen doesn't dare to pay attention to them.
As for the mysterious old man Shennong, he was one of the top three ninth-grade alchemists on the continent. He had been reclusive in the Shennong Mountains for years, refining medicine. He was a thousand-year-old homebody, and it was impossible to find him even if we tried...
Needless to say, the rest are either in the Yan Clan or the Yao Clan. Only the ninth Three Thousand Flames is in Danta's hands, and it cannot be subdued by anyone. The only one Ye Chen has a chance to get, and the one that suits him best, is the Three Thousand Flames!
Although Ye Chen knew all this information clearly, he couldn't tell Ye Chongming, so he could only say directly: "Let's decide it this way. Grandpa, you refine the Sea Heart Flame, and as for the Azure Lotus Earth Heart Fire, I plan to let the younger generation fuse it. This way, we can ensure that the younger generation of the Ye family will have an independent figure besides me."
If Ye Chen enters Dan Tower in the future, or even wants to enter the Small Dan Tower, then he will definitely not be able to take care of the Ye family all the time.
Therefore, the Ye family must train another person from the younger generation who can replace Ye Chen to carry the family's reputation. It is not possible that the other four major families will have young people taking action in the future, while only the Ye family has to let Ye Chong, an old generation, show up, right?
That would also make the Ye family lose face in front of others...
