You Can Come Anytime

After leaving the Stone Bamboo Grove and parting ways with Ye Jingli, he did not return to his own courtyard, but instead headed towards the Treasure Pavilion.

He wanted to exchange the spirit medicine for the Detoxification Pill and the Ice Clarity Pill, and secondly, he wanted to exchange them for some high-grade insect repellent powder.

He agreed to go to Five Poisons Peak, but simply trusting Ye Xingyu and Ye Xingqun wasn't enough. He wasn't used to entrusting his fate to others unless he could be certain that they possessed a second-tier Spirit Beast.

But this is unlikely.

So he remembered his Spirit-Hiding Armor. If he could find some insect repellent powder, he could use Earth Escape Technique is a type of magic that allows one to hide underground and cover himself with the Spirit-Hiding Armor) to avoid most of the pursuers.

After all, he also had the Blue Feather Boots he got from Li Mujin of the Li Family, and speed was also an advantage for him.

With his three Spirit Beasts, he could secure some means of survival.

Following the bluestone path, Ye Jingcheng arrived at the Treasure Pavilion in less than a quarter of an hour.

Eighth Elder Ye Haiping remained there, studying the Array Jade Slip.

Because another group of cultivators from the Lineage recently went to the Taihang Mountain Range, the Treasure Pavilion has become somewhat deserted.

"Eighth Grandfather, I'd like to exchange for some better insect repellent powder!" Ye Jingcheng said.

Insect repellent powder and beast repellent powder are somewhat similar. The latter is made from the excrement of powerful Demon Beasts and some herbs, while the former is made from the powdered corpses of powerful Spirit Insects and mixed with some spirit medicine that diffuse energy.

Most Spirit Insects in this world are driven by self-interest and avoidance of harm, so the insect repellent powder will definitely be quite effective at Five Poisons Peak.

"You're going to Five Poisons Peak?" Ye Haiping seemed somewhat surprised.

After all, in his opinion, Ye Jingcheng should be preparing for the hatching of the spirit snake and focusing on his cultivation.

"Didn't you get a registered position in the Pill Pavilion and become a lecturer, earning 500 contribution points?"

Ye Haiping looked completely bewildered. He could understand why others might take the risk, but he couldn't see any reason for Ye Jingcheng to do so.

"Eighth Grandfather, it's like this, I'm going with Uncle Xingqun and Uncle Xingyu!" Ye Jingcheng said.

"Jingcheng, you have enough Spirit Beasts now, don't take too many risks!" Ye Haiping clearly thought that Ye Jingcheng wanted the spirit bees after seeing Ye Xingqun's Blackwood Ants.

Ye Jingcheng also understood that Ye Xingqun and Ye Xingyu probably hadn't told their Lineage about this.

After all, although there are Five Poison Bees, the possibility of the Five Poison Master's cave abode being there is very small.

Even if there are cave abode, very few of them will contain any treasures.

After all, even if a cultivator opens up cave abode in a dangerous place to hide from enemies, the possibility of actually leaving treasures in such a dangerous place is very small.

In such a place, the chances of passing away peacefully are even smaller.

To be fair, if Ye Jingcheng were facing the risk of dying, he would return to his hometown and seek out a quiet and beautiful valley.

Instead of Poison Valley, surrounded by poisonous insects all day long, in the end, not even a single corpse can be left intact.

"Grandpa, I know all this!" Ye Jingcheng nodded, looking like he had been taught something.

But his gaze remained resolute.

Seeing this, Ye Haiping didn't say much, but looked at Ye Jingcheng:

"You 'Beast-Link Mark, so before you leave, go and pay your respects to your fourth grandfather!" Ye Haiping didn't say much, just offered this suggestion before taking out beast-repelling powder from the side.

This time, he took it out from the drawer behind the counter and stored it in a special Jade Spirit box.

"This is beast-repelling powder made from the poisonous horn of a second-tier high-grade Black Rhinoceros Insect. It has a deterrent effect on most Spirit Insects!" Ye Haiping explained.

Ye Jingcheng was extremely satisfied and handed over the Lineage Token; this was exactly the kind of beast-repelling powder he wanted.

"Remember, don't release it at the Lineage's Soaring Cloud Peak!" Ye Haiping pointed out Ye Jingcheng's eighty contribution points and reminded him again.

Ye Jingcheng nodded and exchanged some more spirit medicine.

Still feeling a bit uneasy, he then exchanged it for another array plate.

This array is expensive; he only exchanged it for a mid-grade first-tier trapping array, which cost him 280 contribution points.

If it's First-Tier Superior-Grade trapping formation, it would cost seven or eight Spirit Stones, which is almost as much as a top-grade magic Law Artifact.

The contribution points within the Lineage Token have run out again.

After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Ye Jingcheng headed towards the pavilion of the Fourth Elder, Ye Haiyun!

Soaring Cloud Peak is very large, and the Ye Family, numbering around one hundred, is scattered sparsely across the mountain.

Ye Haiyun's pavilion was located halfway up the mountain, close to the Alchemy Pavilion.

This pavilion is a two-story building, and there are many Spirit Land set up in front of it.

It contains many spirit medicine and Spirit Gathering Formation, continuously attracting Spiritual Qi.

Ye Jingcheng even saw a Soil-Turning Earthworm in the soil, raising its head and looking at Ye Jingcheng.

However, Ye Jingcheng couldn't see where the Soil-Turning Earthworm's eyes were, and he couldn't even be sure if it was looking at him with its butt.

The Ye Family has a dedicated Spirit Herb Garden and also allows its own cultivators to cultivate Spirit Lands on the mountain.

Ye Jingcheng had also dreamed of it, but aside from the fact that he didn't have time to manage it, there weren't many good plots of land in front of his small courtyard.

To cultivate Spirit Land, one needs to irrigate it with spiritual water for a year, Spirit Gathering Formation for another year, and finally set up a defensive Array. He simply doesn't have the time or energy for that.

In fact, Ye Haiyun didn't have time either, but as the fourth elder of the Lineage, he had the authority to issue tasks and hire the Lineage's early-stage Qi Refining medicine apprentices to help manage things.

This treatment is clearly something Ye Jingcheng will have to wait until his strength improves further, or until he can refine top-grade first-tier pills, before it can be improved.

The sound transmission talisman flew inside, and soon, an old man dressed in a white robe appeared.

Ye Haiyun looks even older.

This appearance greatly worried Ye Jingcheng.

This is not a good sign.

"Fourth Grandfather, I have some questions I'd like to ask you!" Ye Jingcheng said.

Although Ye Haiping had asked him to come and ask for help, he wasn't shameless enough to ask for it right away.

Ye Haiyun had previously said that he could provide guidance to Ye Jingcheng once every three months, so Ye Jingcheng simply used that opportunity this time.

He did indeed accumulate several problems.

"Okay, come in!" Ye Haiyun nodded and led Ye Jingcheng in.

In the courtyard, there was a huge apricot tree, which was currently laden with apricots.

These apricots are all bright green and translucent, as if they are almost ripe.

It also exuded the Spiritual Qi of a mid-grade first-level spiritual fruit, which was clearly a level higher than that of the Jade Pulp Fruit.

"If you want to eat here, you can come more often in the future, but there are assessments. If you don't meet the assessment standards, you can't come!" Ye Haiyun continued.

Then he led Ye Jingcheng to sit down under the apricot tree.

Ye Jingcheng then took out the spiritual tea and began brewing it. He poured a cup for Ye Haiyun before asking his questions.

The steaming tea rose into the air, leaving a thin layer of mist on the apricot tree.

Ye Jingcheng also began to ask questions.

Ye Haiyun answered them one by one.

The more Ye Jingcheng answered, the more satisfied he became with him. Ye Jingcheng did indeed study the Pill Formulas seriously, learning the Two-Stage Furnace-Warming Method and the Four-Part Alchemy Method.

Many of these insights and questions cannot be answered without careful questioning.

"Fourth Grandfather, I wonder, what would it be like to mix Red Dragon Fruit, Flamefall Grass, and Crimson Spirit Mushroom together to refine medicine?" Ye Jingcheng asked abruptly after finishing his question.

This question immediately stumped Ye Haiyun.

He also looked thoughtful, his eyes deep, and suddenly his mind wandered.

The spirit medicine Ye Jingcheng mentioned is the main ingredient of the Crimson Flame Pill. In his view, giving the Crimson Flame Pill to the Crimson Flame Fox can improve its bloodline and cultivation!

It would certainly work for other Fire Attribute Spirit Beasts as well.

Moreover, this time he was thinking of gradually increasing the possibility of creating his Pill Formula. If the reaction was too intense, he would create fortuitous opportunities in the future; if the reaction was mild, then creating his Pill Formula would not be out of the question.

His Crimson Flame Pill and Golden Scale Pill will become much more valuable in the future, since only he can refine them.

"This is bad! These three spirit medicine are far too potent; cultivators simply cannot withstand them!" Ye Haiyun shook his head.

"Fourth Grandfather, what if only Demon Beasts can consume it?" Ye Jingcheng asked again, Ye Haiyun fell into deep thought once more.

They even stopped drinking tea.

His eyes were full of brilliance and longing.

"Let me think about it. That's all for today's guidance. Be careful on your trip to Five Poisons Peak!"

"This is the Greenheart Mirror, you can borrow it temporarily. Also, remember next time, don't beat around the bush!" Ye Haiyun added.

These words immediately embarrassed Ye Jingcheng, who hadn't expected Ye Haiping to have clearly communicated with Ye Haiyun telepathically.

But at the same time, he was also deeply moved!

This Greenheart Mirror is Ye Haiyun's signature treasure; for him to lend it to him now is an immense favor!

This Greenheart Mirror can not only immobilize people and beasts, but also clear away poisonous miasma and fog!

It's an absolute weapon of mass destruction at Five Poisons Peak!

Ye Jingcheng took the Greenheart Mirror, walked to the side, and took out a lot of Blood Jade Spirit Rice and a three-foot-long Red Spirit Fish. He also took out some of the last remaining Dense Forest Pig Beast Meat.

I prepared three spiritual dishes and placed them under the apricot tree.

Ye Haiyun was still pondering, while Ye Jingcheng retreated outside.

Just then, a Spirit Talisman flew out and landed in Ye Jingcheng's hand.

"You can come anytime in the future!"

Ye Jingcheng bowed and then left the courtyard.

Their worries about the trip to Five Poisons Peak lessened considerably.

As long as we find the Water Cloud Grass and other auxiliary ingredients in the future, we can also refine the Jade-Scale Pill!

Ye Jingcheng retreated to the courtyard, and this time, he began a long period of alchemy.

They were refining the Ice Clarity Pill and the Antidote Pill!

The Ice Clarity Pill is First-Tier Superior-Grade spiritual pill, and the Antidote Pill is a first-grade mid-quality spiritual pill; neither is particularly difficult to refine.

Finally, in four days, they refined two batches of antidote pills and two batches of Ice Clarity Pills.

The detoxification pills were all made up of ten pills, two of which had pill patterns, while the Ice Clarity Pills were made of seven and eight pills respectively!

It was more than enough for their needs for this trip.

Ye Jingcheng even had a day left over to refine a batch of Qi Recovery Pills, which are spiritual pills that restore Spiritual Qi. However, this batch was a bit small, producing only six pills.

After everything was prepared, Ye Jingcheng equipped the Jade Ring Rat with Spirit Talisman emitter, for which he prepared a considerable number of Spirit Talisman.

During this period, we also tested it with Jade Ring Rat, but the results were not very good. The Jade Ring Rat is a bit timid, so it was better than nothing.

Finally, after setting aside another day to adjust to peak condition, on a frosty morning, a Spirit Boat, adorned in silver, soared into the sky and departed.

Heading straight for the Taihang Mountain Range!
