The Clan Assembly Begins

Unbeknownst to many, the sound of cicadas had become more frequent in the mountains and forests.

The crimson sky seemed to freeze in time, remaining gloomy for a long time.

Ye Jingcheng has been quite happy these past few days, seeing thirty to forty spirit eggs laid every day.

Although almost all the honey in the hive was eaten by the queen bee.

After all, only six worker bees were collecting nectar.

Ye Jingcheng didn't care about this; what he cared about more was the long-term development of Lingmi.

The three majestic peaks survived thanks to Treasure Radiance's rescue efforts, but they were much older and probably wouldn't live much longer.

This made Ye Jingcheng hesitate. This Treasure Book seemed to be able to heal injuries, but it couldn't cure aging.

Ye Jingcheng even felt that this treatment might affect his lifespan.

Unfortunately, there were too few cases and the cycle was too short, so Ye Jingcheng n't figure it out, and he abandoned the three male peaks.

Half a month later, the queen bee laid a full seven hundred eggs of the Five Poison Bee Spirit, which were scattered throughout the hive.

Ye Jingcheng was quite pleased to see this.

Ye Jingcheng also observed that there were three queen bees and thirty drones in the egg!

In other words, once these Five Poison Bee hatch, Ye Jingcheng will have the Five Poison Bee he needs for his magical battles, and he will also have enough Five Poison Bee to breed in the future.

However, incubation takes about half a year, so Ye Jingcheng could only wait.

Ye Xingqun is so busy these days because he is taking care of the newly hatched Five Poison Bee.

The days that followed settled down.

Ye Jingcheng spent his days taming beasts and refining pills, and his nights cultivating his spiritual practice; his life was busy but fulfilling.

Only in the early morning sun and the afterglow of the setting sun would Ye Jingcheng set aside some time to drink Spring Welcoming Tea and adjust his State of Mind.

The Golden-Scaled Beast was in quite a predicament, as it was bombarded daily with Fireball Technique by the Crimson Flame Fox. Sometimes, when it couldn't dodge, it would use its Stone Armor Technique to withstand the attacks!

But each time, the metal was charred black and needed Ye Jingcheng's Treasure Radiance to restore it.

And these days, the Golden-Scaled Beast has been going out on its own more often!

I only feel a little more energetic when I come back.

Half a year has passed quietly.

Ye Jingcheng and the others were inside the room, where the Crimson Flame Fox was now engulfed in flames.

They were isolated by an insulating Array.

After an unknown amount of time, the Crimson Flame Fox finally calmed down.

Its aura had clearly changed, fluctuating to the level of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

The next step is Foundation Establishment, becoming a second-tier Spirit Beast!

For Spirit Beasts, there are no Foundation Establishment to break through to the second tier, and they don't have three Foundation Establishment trials. They only have two trials: one is having enough bloodline, and the other is having enough Spiritual Qi!

The Crimson Flame Fox bloodline is definitely enough; next, it's time to consume a large number of elixirs!

Of course, the spiritual energy required to break through to the next realm is far greater than that required for the mid-stage and late-stage of the first rank.

Ye Jingcheng estimated that even the Crimson Flame Fox would need at least five or six years!

"Chirp!" the Crimson Flame Fox cried out excitedly. The flames on its forehead shone even brighter, and its two tails grew thicker and more dazzling.

Ye Jingcheng summoned the Crimson Flame Fox to his side and fed it Crimson Flame Fox Red Ganoderma Pill and Treasure Radiance.

The latter also stuck out its little tongue and kept licking Ye Jingcheng's arm.

The Jade-Scale Snake beside it cast a puzzled glance; in its view, it should be licking the Golden-Scaled Beast.

After a pause, Ye Jingcheng's consciousness was stirred once more!

The next moment, he felt a slight fluctuation!

These were clearly the larvae of the Five Poison Bee he had conspired with through Blood Pact.

Ye Jingcheng walked towards the spirit field.

From the beehive, a number of Five Poison Bee crawled out.

These Five Poison Bee are only the size of a fingernail and cannot fly yet; they are crawling.

The honey in the hive wasn't enough for so many young bees to consume.

Ye Jingcheng took out some ordinary honey he had bought and put it into the beehive, and then added a lot of Spirit Feeding Pill powder.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng discovered that among the Five Poison Bee, one of them had actually activated the Treasure Book!

This Five Poison Bee is one of the three queen bees!

The queen bee also introduced a new Pill Formula in the Treasure Book, but it only evolved once and then there was no follow-up!

Clearly, these Five Poison Bee only have one chance to advance their bloodline!

The spirit image on that Treasure Book was none other than Six-Color Spirit Bee.

Even so, Ye Jingcheng was overjoyed.

This is still a queen bee. Perhaps after it grows up, it can become a second-order queen bee. At that time, the Five Poison Bee it spawns may be Six-Color Five Poison Bee!

As Ye Jingcheng thought this, his eyes softened a bit.

It's a pity that the Purple Illusion Flower has now turned into seeds and been harvested. They will be planted again in the spring. This time, Ye Jingcheng collected three hundred seeds, enough to fill the spirit field.

At that time, he will have surplus spiritual honey, which is a good choice whether he consumes it himself or uses it to brew wine or mix with tea!

It is said that drinking too much honey from the Five Poison Bee can also cause the formation of some toxins that trigger an immune response.

Of course, this is only what is recorded on the Jade Slip. For most cultivators, it is not such a luxury to consume Five Poison Bee Spirit Honey every day.

After settling the young bees, Ye Jingcheng headed towards the three spirit tea trees nearby.

Pick the newly sprouted buds that have emerged in recent days.

Each of these tender shoots is incredibly delicate, radiating a rich, verdant glow.

It also exudes a refreshing tea aroma that soothes the mind and body.

Therefore, Ye Jingcheng's mood would improve whenever it was time to pick tea.

Cultivating immortality is inherently a tedious affair, and in his view, it's still necessary to find something to relieve the boredom.

Sunset and sunrise, picking and tasting tea, playing with small animals in leisure time, and absorbing the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth when busy—it's a pity there's no zither or poetry.

Another half month passed, and all the young bees had begun to crawl out of the hive, while the Purple Illusion Flower in the spirit field were slowly sprouting seedlings!

Ye Jingcheng even discovered that the bamboo shoots growing from the bamboo rhizomes also sprouted several small bamboo shoot tips.

Just as Ye Jingcheng had expected, these bamboo shoots contained a great deal of Spiritual Qi!

Even if it grows up, in Ye Jingcheng's eyes it will only be a low-grade first-order low-grade Spirit Plant, but it is still quite meaningful!

Just then, Ye Jingcheng sensed something unusual about the token in his Storage Bag.

He then took out the token, and saw that the Lineage's Inner Hall council had convened again.

Ye Jingcheng's gaze gradually softened, even becoming serious.

He knew that the operation his Lineage had been talking about was about to begin.

The auction at Taihang Marketplace is about to begin, and the Foundation Establishment will be the focus of everyone's attention.

Business at the market will be booming like never before!

All sorts of rare and exotic Spirit Material will appear in the market.

Ye Jingcheng tidied up the room and rushed to the Treasure Pavilion!

When he entered the second floor, Ye Jingcheng found that quite a few cultivators had already arrived!

At this moment, there are still quite a few empty seats!

There may be over thirty people attending this Lineage council meeting!

This is practically all the late-stage Qi Refining cultivators in the Ye Family!

Ye Jingcheng knew quite a few of these people, Ye Haiyun, Ye Haiyi, Ye Xingyu Ye Xinghe, Ye Xingqun, Ye Jingyong Ye Jingyu!

Ye Xinghe, the eldest uncle, had gained even more weight, but his gaze was unusually serious at this moment.

Once almost everyone had arrived, Ye Xingliu emerged from the Treasure Pavilion!

His aura had become even stronger. If Ye Jingcheng's judgment was correct, Ye Xingliu should now be in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage!
