Emergency Recall (Please Follow-up Reading)

Emergency Recall (Please Follow-up Reading) Inside the room, Ye Jingcheng spread out the spirit array, forming a larger barrier.

Refining pills indoors still had a major impact on the courtyard. Half a year ago, Ye Jingcheng had been forced to replace the barrier Array Disk.

Otherwise, under the scorching flames of the Crimson Flame Fox, even with array patterns carved into the room, it would have burned long ago.

The Crimson Flame Fox was now more slender, its crimson fur more agile and suffused with a beautiful spiritual sheen.

Its tail had also grown larger, a thick, fluffy mass like a roaring blaze.

Its body had even grown to the size of a lion.

Most remarkable of all was the crimson mark on the Crimson Flame Fox's forehead.

At Ye Jingcheng's command, it began to breathe fire.

The temperature in the room surged sharply.

With a casual motion, Ye Jingcheng guided the pill furnace into the flames, his movements incomparably practiced!

Moreover, the flames Ye Jingcheng had the Crimson Flame Fox breathe out were extraordinarily fierce.

He was attempting to imitate the way Ye Haiyun had once warmed a furnace—the technique of preparing the pill furnace in an instant could greatly save time and improve pill-refining efficiency.

This might not have been particularly important to ordinary Alchemists, but for Alchemists of the Ye Family who tamed beasts, it was absolutely indispensable.

Still, no matter how skilled Ye Jingcheng was, he remained far inferior to Elder Ye Haiyun.

Several breaths later, the Spirit Patterns on the pill furnace finally began to come alive, outlining a crimson Spirit Map.

Ye Jingcheng's expression remained calm as he took out the Spirit Herbs and began refining them.

The spirit pill he was refining this time was made from a pill formula Ye Jingcheng had exchanged for before leaving Lingyun Peak of the Ye Family.

The Ice Purity Pill was also an entry-level First-Order Grade-High spirit pill.

Yet even the simplest First-Order Grade-High spirit pill was still a First-Order Grade-High spirit pill.

This was Ye Jingcheng's fifth attempt. The previous four had all ended in failure, costing him quite a few Spirit Herbs.

This time, having absorbed the lessons of his previous four failures, Ye Jingcheng was cautious to the utmost degree with every step.

As the Spirit Herbs gradually took shape, the flames began to rise and fall with Ye Jingcheng's thoughts.

Unlike before, the Crimson Flame Fox was now exceptionally serious when assisting with pill refinement.

Its control over the temperature of the fire was flawless.

After an unknown amount of time, the pill furnace began to tremble, and Ye Jingcheng's brows drew into a tight line.

After spinning dozens of times, the furnace lid finally flew open smoothly.

In an instant, the flames diminished to a small fire, slowly burning beneath the furnace. Inside, two incomparably round Ice Purity Pills could vaguely be seen slowly revolving.

"Success!" Ye Jingcheng was quite delighted as he placed the two Ice Purity Pills into a pill bottle.

He also let out a long breath. From this day onward, he could be considered a First-Order Grade-High Alchemist!

Even within the Ye Family, he could be counted among the notable ones.

Most importantly, he was one step closer to refining the spirit pill needed for the Crimson Flame Fox's advancement.

Furthermore, by now, he had gathered half the ingredients needed for the Golden Scale Beast's advancement pill as well.

Once the time came, both of his Spirit Beasts would be able to advance successfully, and their bloodlines would rise another step.

Now, it was his cultivation art that he needed to consider.

Because he possessed Four Spiritual Roots, his cultivation speed was slow, and he cultivated the single-attribute Li Fire Art.

But now that he had the Golden Scale Beast and the Crimson Flame Fox, he could choose to Change Cultivation and cultivate a dual-attribute cultivation art. Only then could he maximize the usefulness of the Beast Communication Mark.

His cultivation speed would be faster then as well.

After all, his two Spirit Beasts would continuously provide him with higher-grade spiritual energy. Naturally, his cultivation speed could not be mentioned in the same breath as before.

Of course, the Ye Family's Treasure Pavilion also had such cultivation arts. What puzzled Ye Jingcheng, however, was that the family's original Alchemists had still not returned.

Nearly three years had passed since Tianyi Sect conscripted Alchemists and Artifact Crafters.

As Ye Jingcheng pondered, a burst of urgent commotion suddenly came from the Inner Courtyard!

A Spirit Talisman flew out from the outer courtyard as well.

"Come out at once!" Ye Jingcheng could not help frowning at those words.

It was his first time seeing such an urgent tone.

When Ye Jingcheng stepped out of the Inner Courtyard, he saw Ye Jingli, Ye Jingyun, and Ye Xingyu all wearing blank expressions.

Only Ye Xinghe was striding anxiously in the middle.

"The family is urgently holding a clan competition. We leave today, and the market shop will close for half a month!" Ye Xinghe's words left Ye Jingcheng and the others completely baffled.

But Ye Xinghe gave them no opportunity to ask questions.

Nearby, even Ye Xinghong and Ye Jinghao had already packed up. Several Spirit Beast Bags and Storage Bags hung from their waists, and they had taken all the valuable items from the shop with them.

Ye Jingcheng knew that something must have happened to the Ye Family, but Ye Xinghe was concealing it.

Ye Xinghe also took out a plaque and hung it on the Ye Family Shop, marked with news of the Ye Family clan competition!

"Set off!" Once everything was done, Ye Xinghe directly led them toward the secret passage.

This secret passage was different from the one they had used the second time. In other words, there should have been two secret passages beneath the Ye Family Shop.

After leaving the secret passage, Ye Xinghe took out a Spirit Boat and flew toward Lingyun Peak! They traveled in extreme haste.

Ye Xinghe and Ye Jinghao were both somewhat excited. For them, it had been too long since they had left Lingyun Peak.

Ye Jingli, Ye Jingcheng, and the others, on the other hand, looked even more perplexed.

Within a hidden hall in Taihang Market, Li Mutian sat in a Grand Preceptor's Chair, lightly steeping a cup of spirit tea in his hand.

At that moment, a cultivator ran inside.

"Uncle Tian, important intelligence!" Li Mutian set down his spirit tea and hurriedly took out an Array Disk.

He tossed it forward, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped the entire room.

"How is it?" Only then did he ask anxiously. "The Ye Family left the market overnight. They put up a sign claiming it was for a clan competition!"

"It's done!" Li Mutian could not help laughing loudly.

"Good, you observed well. Do not mention this matter to anyone else!" Li Mutian instructed again.

"Also, help me invite the chief managers of the other two families to a banquet. We need to discuss the specific auction items for the third market!"

"Yes!" The man hurriedly withdrew!

At this moment, it was not only the Li Family. The Chu Family and Chen Family were all equally anxious.

For them, the opportunity they had plotted for years had finally arrived.

They quickly headed toward the restaurant Li Mutian had arranged.

As the chief managers of the Chu Family and Chen Family arrived, Li Mutian spoke. "It is not only the staff from the Ye Family's shop who have withdrawn. The Ye Family disciples within the sect have also begun asking for leave!"

"Still, the Ye Family truly is cautious enough. Although the Blood Heart Pills were sprinkled with gu poison, it is a colorless and odorless demonic gu that does not flare up in a short time!"

"If the Ye Family were not cautious, how could they have placed such immense pressure on our three families? If we do not restrain them, the Ye Family will likely become a Purple Mansion Family!" The Chu Family's chief manager beside him snorted coldly.

Although the Ye Family was famously poor, its foundation was actually the deepest among the four families, and it was also the oldest!
