Secret Sprouting Technique

After the heavy rains of early spring, bamboo shoots sprouted from the soil and fell throughout the bamboo forest.

Some even pried up stones, and the dianthus grew out in a curved shape, seemingly even thicker, as if the stones had blessed it, making it grow even better.

Above the bamboo grove, the bamboo leaves that had turned yellow after the cold autumn and winter were now washed by the spring rain and appeared even greener and more vibrant.

Ye Jingcheng sat on the bench in the bamboo pavilion, but his mind was somewhat elsewhere as he looked at the bamboo.

Upon returning from the Treasure Pavilion, he was surprised to find that the beehives in the spirit field produced a considerable amount of spirit honey.

According to his understanding, the efficiency of a normal Five Poison Bee in collecting honey should only be half.

This was clearly Treasure Radiance's doing; he blessed the growth of the Purple Illusion Flower and the Five Poison Bees.

This mutual pursuit has led to an increase in spiritual sweetness.

Just five days later, the Poison Needle of the Five Poison Bee wasp could be seen to have turned black again.

This also means that the Five Poison Bees can be induced to reproduce.

This was naturally a big deal for Ye Jingcheng.

The sooner the spawning is induced, the better; otherwise, if the Five Poison Bees die of old age, then all his efforts will have been in vain.

That's why there's a bamboo grove where they wait.

A short while later, Ye Xingqun came out.

Ye Xingqun appeared quite busy at the moment. He was dressed in colorful clothes, looked tired, and even had several Five Poison Bees on his body.

These Five Poison Bees were smaller than Ye Jingcheng's Five Poison Bees, and were estimated to be more than half the size of Ye Jingcheng's largest one.

Even the tail needle is significantly inferior.

But the sheer number of them made Ye Jingcheng extremely envious.

"Jingcheng is here?"

"Seventh Uncle, I have come here today without asking for your help!"

Ye Jingcheng didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly. He then took out a basket containing five spirit apricots and a bottle containing three Red Ganoderma Pills.

The Red Ganoderma Pill among them still emitted a rich Pill Fragrance, indicating that it was a higher quality elixir.

"Jingcheng, you've broken through to become a first-tier top-grade Alchemist?" Ye Xingqun couldn't help but ask.

Ye Xingqun was naturally tempted by the elixir and the spiritual fruit, and his cultivation Cultivation Method also primarily focused on fire.

Moreover, he had a very good impression of Ye Jingcheng.

"He managed to break through by sheer luck, and the Lineage even gave him a piece of spirit land. His Five Poison Bee- Five Poison Bee Bees have also improved, but unfortunately, there are far too few of them..."

"Your ten Five Poison Bees are indeed too few!" Ye Xingqun was naturally somewhat surprised that Ye Jingcheng had managed to keep those ten Five Poison Bees alive, but there was nothing he could do about it.

He didn't have many spirit bees, which is why he looked somewhat hesitant.

"Seventh Uncle, I came here to ask how to make the Five Poison Bees reproduce quickly!" Ye Jingcheng realized that Ye Xingqun seemed to have misunderstood, so he quickly explained.

"The method to induce childbirth? No problem!" Ye Xingqun breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and took out a Jade Slip, handing it to Ye Jingcheng.

After handing it in, he spoke again:

"Jingcheng, your queen bee and male bee have already been forced to reproduce, so the chances of success are slim!" Ye Xingqun pushed the pill bottle and basket back, taking only one spirit apricot from inside.

"Seventh Uncle, I still want to give it a try!" Ye Jingcheng nodded, but he didn't take the basket or the pill bottle back.

"If that doesn't work, Uncle Qi might have to wait a few years until he gets new Five Poison Bees before selling some to his nephew!"

"No problem!" Ye Xingqun agreed immediately upon hearing that it was for the next batch.

Back at Five Poisons Peak, it was Ye Jingcheng who helped them.

Since this is the next batch, he is confident that he can cultivate more than a thousand of them, and it wouldn't hurt to give a hundred or so to Ye Jingcheng.

"Jingcheng, do you want to take some bamboo shoots back with you?" Ye Xingqun saw that Ye Jingcheng was about to leave, and since he was indeed quite busy, he couldn't persuade him to stay.

But having accepted the spiritual pills and apricots worth hundreds from Ye Jingcheng, he still spoke up.

Before Ye Jingcheng could refuse, he swung his sword down a small bamboo whip and a few bamboo shoots from the depths of the bamboo forest beside him.

"Jingcheng, these bamboo shoots and bamboo whips seem to have gained a bit of spirituality over the years. If I give you a piece, you'll have an extra spiritual field. Maybe you can cultivate spiritual bamboo like the ones in Taihang Marketplace!" Ye Xingqun said half-jokingly.

He often gave bamboo shoots as gifts, and the bamboo whips showed that Ye Jingcheng also cherished bamboo.

"Thank you very much, Uncle Seven!" Ye Jingcheng quickly said.

Although he couldn't eat these bamboo shoots himself, taking them back for the Jade Ring Rat would be excellent.

Ye Jingcheng is now paying much more attention to the Jade Ring Rat.

After all, this spirit rat currently looks quite like Soil-Turning Earthworm.

As for bamboo whips, Ye Jingcheng wanted to try them out, just like he would with tea trees.

If spirit bamboo is actually produced, even if it's all cut down and sold for Spirit Stones, it would still be a windfall.

Moreover, there is no need to explain why such a thing can be upgraded from an ordinary mortal to a low-grade first-level spiritual object, since such things often happen in the mountains and fields where Spiritual Qi is abundant.

After bidding farewell to Ye Xingqun, Ye Jingcheng returned to his own courtyard and began planning the Secret Method to induce childbirth.

After studying it for half an hour, Ye Jingcheng finally understood.

There are two methods to induce childbirth. One method is to use spirit medicine herb to induce childbirth, which involves finding a spirit medicine called the Demon-Luring Grass.

But the Demon-Luring Grass is even rarer than the Foundation Establishment.

Ye Jingcheng hardly needed to think about it.

Secondly, the second method involves using an illusion array combined with a Secret Method to induce birth!

Illusion arrays create illusions that provoke the impulses of Spirit Insects, while the Overdraft Secret Method is also a kind of elixir.

Named the Heavenly Passion Pill, it is a mid-grade first-tier spiritual pill. The method is also recorded in the Jade Slip. Ye Jingcheng only needs to gather the spirit medicine.

According to the Jade Slip, this Heavenly Passion Pill is extremely effective and is very popular among Evil Cultivators.

With these two conditions met, all that's needed is to keep the Spirit Insect at its peak physical strength.

Moreover, the Ye Family's Treasure Pavilion has all the ingredients for this elixir, which greatly relieved Ye Jingcheng.

He walked out of the courtyard and looked towards the spirit field again.

More Purple Illusion Flower, and the purple mist had completely filled the area.

Inside the arranged honeycomb, there was another shallow layer of honey.

The queen bee and drones are lying in the hive, enjoying a rare treat.

The eerie tail needle had regained its cold gleam.

They would also flap their wings in greeting at Ye Jingcheng's arrival.

Ye Jingcheng didn't disturb them and continued looking at the rest of the place.

Meanwhile, the Jade Ring Rat was diligently turning over the soil in the empty spirit field.

Ye Jingcheng was very satisfied with what he saw.

Ye Jingcheng took out two Spirit Feeding Pills as a reward, and then took out a few bamboo shoots.

This dianthus is known for its large size among bamboos, and so are its bamboo shoots.

Although the Jade Ring Rat is not a bamboo rat, it still couldn't resist the delicious taste, and its eyes were filled with gratitude as it looked at Ye Jingcheng.

"Work hard, and there will be even more bamboo shoots like these in the future!" Ye Jingcheng took out a bamboo whip and buried it near the edge of the spirit field.

Then some more Treasure Radiance was entered.

Bamboo whips are easier to cultivate than other Spirit Plants, especially since they grow on spiritual soil. Ye Jingcheng didn't even need to use Spirit-Enhancing Liquid.

However, he discovered that the bamboo whip absorbed just as much Treasure Radiance as the tea stem.

It seems to have even greater potential than that tea tree.

However, Ye Jingcheng was only surprised for a moment before leaving.

He didn't have high hopes for the bamboo, after all, he hadn't planned to put much effort into the spirit field.

For him, the most crucial thing is still cultivation.

His original intention was that the honey from the Five Poison Bees could counteract some of the poison from erysipelas.

Therefore, once enough queen bees of the Five Poison Bee have been bred, the position of field chief should still be handed over to the Jade Ring Rat.

After dealing with the Spirit Plants, Ye Jingcheng headed towards the Treasure Pavilion.

The Treasure Pavilion saw quite a few cultivators exchanging items today, and Ye Jingcheng even had to wait in line for a while.

When Ye Jingcheng arrived, Ye Haiping handed Ye Jingcheng a Storage Bag.

This puzzled Ye Jingcheng.

"This was brought over by someone from Jing Teng. He's currently in seclusion, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment!" Ye Haiping explained.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng was taken aback, but then he realized what was going on.

The Taiyi Sect refines Foundation Establishment Pills once every five years, but sells them to the public only once every ten years.

Moreover, after the Taiyi Sect refines the Foundation Establishment, it is first digested within the sect before being taken out and sold to various Lineage.

In other words, it won't be sold until next year. In fact, this year, the Taiyi Sect has already decided on the ownership of a lot of Foundation Establishment.

Ye Jingteng was one of them.

Furthermore, many Taiyi Sect disciples who failed in the competition would go to the auctions of various affiliated forces' markets to compete for Foundation Establishment, which made the Foundation Establishment even more sought after.

Ye Jingcheng opened the Storage Bag, and inside was a hundred-year-old Jade Beauty Fruit.

This Jade Beauty Fruit is an underground fruit with a layer of Spirit Skin on its surface. The denser the layers on the Spirit Skin, the older it is, and the more abundant the Water Attribute Spiritual Qi and the freshness of the fruit pulp inside.

"Thank you, Eighth Grandfather!" Ye Jingcheng expressed his gratitude, and at the same time took out Jade Slip to exchange for the ingredients for the Heavenly Passion Pill and a first-grade low-level illusion array.

Ye Haiping didn't say much about the materials for the Heavenly Passion Pill or the illusion array. He only told Ye Jingcheng before leaving that he should cultivate diligently, and that the action a year later would also be considered Clan Contribution.

Ye Jingcheng was also taken aback by this.

Ye Haiping's reminders always seemed to have an underlying meaning, so he couldn't help but wonder if the Lineage had other plans, otherwise, as an Alchemist, he didn't really have much influence.

At auctions, it still comes down to financial resources.

On this point, despite Ye's lavish spending, it's quite difficult for him to actually pull out a lot of Spirit Stones from his Storage Bag.

Ye Jingcheng thought for a while but still shook his head, having no clue.

However, improving one's strength is always the right thing to do.

Therefore, Ye Jingcheng's belief in accelerating the growth of the Five Poison Bees also strengthened, and at the same time, he became more focused on improving the strength of the Crimson Flame Fox.

The Crimson Flame Fox is currently the one most likely to make another small breakthrough in strength.

In addition, Ye Jingcheng will also begin his research on the Pill Formula for the Jade-Scale Pill.

Now, all he needs for the Jade-Scale Pill is the main ingredient, Water Cloud Grass, and two auxiliary herbs.

As for the other auxiliary ingredients, Ye Jingcheng had already used his position as Alchemist to have his Lineage collect them all.

Moreover, the Lineage is also paying attention to Water Cloud Grass.

He will be notified as soon as there is any news, and all he needs to do is familiarize himself with the Pill Formula in advance.

Ye Jingcheng felt a pang of sorrow upon thinking about this.

He suddenly realized that he was also destined to be busy, not much better off than the Jade Ring Rat!
