The Spirit Strengthening Pill increases oneâs own spirit energy. One pellet costs one hundred silver taels while three pellets cost three hundred silver taels. The Hundred Years Old Blood Ginseng was worth one hundred thousand silver taels.
Ye Xuan could not believe how stingy his uncle became after he lost all hopes of recovering his nephewâs cultivation. He could not even bother to give him a mere pellet worth one hundred silver taels?!
What was that?!
Ye Xuan did not say much. His teeth clenchedâlooking like a tiger bullied by a dog. He could slap the treasure house managerâs face with just one hand before, but now it was not so.
The tables have turned.
Now the treasure houseâs manager could stab him to death with a finger.
âWhen I recover my strength, Iâll teach you a lesson! Iâll remember this!â Ye Xuan noted the grudge down in his heart. Heâll remember the treasure house managerâs loathsome lookâheâll engrave it in his mind.
However, if heâs unable to recover even half of his strength, then all that heâd done would be in vain.
Sighing inwardly, Ye Xuan returned to his room and began pondering over his current predicament carefully.
Not long after, a manly figure walked into the courtyard.
Seeing the figure up close, Ye Xuan shouted his name. âUncle!â
âYe Xuan, I heard you went to the treasure house earlier today,â said the Patriarch, Ye Zhang, his voice overbearingly deep.
âYes,â Ye Xuan nodded.
âDonât blame uncle. Your cultivation dropped tremendously and now⊠now thereâs not even a small drop in the bucket. If youâre able to recover, itâd be for the best, however, youâve already spent a million silver taels inside the treasure house and  youâve not shown the slightest hint of recovery, so the elders and I decided that we can no longer allow you to utilise any of the cultivation resources.â Ye Zhang shook his head in regret.
ââŠYou already gave up on meâŠ?â The youthâs heart turned somewhat bitter.
âItâs not that Iâm giving up on you⊠just that⊠youâre no longer able to cultivate like before,â Ye Zhang said slowly. âUntil your body recovers and you regain your cultivation, youâll help manage Ye Clanâs business. You should go and pack up now.â
Ye Xuan nodded. âAlright, I understand!â
How pitifully laughable, really! Ye Clan truly gave up on him, otherwise, Ye Zhang wouldâve never allowed him to pack and leave Cloud Merge City.
He was the number one wastrel trash in Cloud Merge City. If he left, itâd only bring the Ye Clan more benefits than none. So long as heâs gone, the people would forget his existence as time passed by.
As Ye Xuan prepared to enter his room, Ye Zheng suddenly called out. âYe Xuan, donât go yet.â
The youth turned his head and smiled softly. âUncle, is there anything else?â
âItâs like this⊠before the misfortune arrived, Ye Clan arranged you a partner in marriage. Youâre engaged to Lin Xuâer of Lin Clan. However, after Cloud Merge City heard of your mishaps, Lin Clan became a littleâŠâ
Ye Zhang stopped in his tracks and did not continue.
Ye Xuan understood. âUncle, does Lin Clan want to end the engagement?â
âYes,â Ye Zhang nodded, âAnd theyâve already arrived. Theyâre currently in the main hall and brought a gift of offering.â
âUncle, I understand now. Iâll go ahead and meet them,â Ye Xuan replied perfunctorily.
It was another case of a tiger falling to the ground while a lowly dog bullied him.
It couldnât be helped.

This was also the nature of humans.
No clan would want their precious daughter to marry a trashâa trash who could not cultivate and a trash who attempted suicide because the trash was afraid of being cut off.
In Cloud Merge City, there exists a few couple farmers able to cultivate. Though they werenât strong by all means, they had enough spirit energy residing in their bodies.
And what of Ye Xuan? He did not have a single bit of spirit energy. Itâs probably why the thought of suicide sprung to mind. Heâd not be able to beat a strong man who did not even know how to cultivate. The very thought of it terrified him so.
âItâs good youâre able to keep your head cool. Moreover, she was accepted by a sect stronger than Splitting Cloud Sect.â Ye Zhang glanced over Ye Xuanâs shoulder.
