Night Journey

Ye Haiyun raised a cup of spiritual tea in the courtyard and leisurely drank it down.

After the assessment of Ye Jingcheng, all of his worries disappeared.

Previously, because Ye Jingcheng had recently become obsessed with growing spiritual tea and spiritual flowers, he was worried that the latter would neglect alchemy and cultivation because of the spiritual tea Spirit Plants.

In the Cultivation World, there is no shortage of geniuses.

However, some geniuses, who boast of their extraordinary talent and wide range of knowledge, only realize when they reach a high level of cultivation that the mountains standing in their way are not only talent and hard work, but also the passage of time.

Now, Ye Jingcheng has not only broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, but his alchemy skills have also stabilized at the first-tier top grade.

This means that Ye Jingcheng only cultivates Spirit Plants in his spare time, which ironically makes him highly admire him.

Cultivating immortality also requires a balance of relaxation and activity.

Then Ye Haiyun took out another Jade Slip and placed it in front of Ye Jingcheng.

"Jingcheng, I have named this Pill Formula formula the Fire Sincerity Pill!" Ye Haiyun said.

"Fourth Grandfather, you're making your grandson suffer!" Ye Jingcheng said helplessly.

This Pill Formula cannot be considered as Ye Jingcheng's creation, since he only provided an idea, a general refining plan, and some pill residue.

Ye Haiyun was the one who actually completed the Pill Formula.

But he also knew that Ye Haiyun's decisions were beyond his control.

He picked up the Jade Slip and examined it closely, also extremely curious about Ye Haiyun's methods of deducing the Pill Formula.

Therefore, he examined it very carefully, and found that the formula for the pill was still somewhat different from the actual formula for the Crimson Flame Pill.

However, the difference is not significant; overall, it is likely just a difference in efficacy and utilization rate.

Moreover, Ye Haiyun replaced some of the auxiliary ingredients for the spirit medicine with several other more common ones.

It's hard to say which is better, but Ye Jingcheng knows that this pill is the most suitable for the Ye Family.

This deduction process was especially important to him.

After all, if his cultivation level increases in the future and he can't find all the Spirit Beast Advancement Pill spirit medicine, he can find alternative spirit medicine.

So that it won't be a situation where a breakthrough is delayed for too long.

A lot of time was wasted.

Ye Haiyun's Jade Slip was extremely detailed, and even contained a set of specialized theories.

If this Jade Slip were to be circulated, even Foundation Establishment cultivators would be tempted. The understanding of the Pill Formulas within is based on the second tier, and some of the more advanced ones are even more exquisite.

After reading it, Jingcheng began to ask questions.

Ye Haiyun didn't mind the trouble and explained everything to Ye Jingcheng one by one, even sharing his process of deducing the Pill Formula.

Ye Haiyun was very satisfied with Ye Jingcheng's question.

This is how Alchemist should be dedicated to their craft.

Ye Haiyun had led members of the Ye Family before, but many of them would act smugly when faced with Pill Formula formulas they knew.

Little did they know, there is no limit to the power of elixirs. The refining of an elixir is only the first step; there are also the Pill Fragrance, the patterns on the elixir, and the number of pills that have been formed.

Above that is the study of how to refine the most basic and common spirit medicine!

"Don't go into seclusion these next few days. In a few days, it will be time for the Lineage to report the number of cultivators to the sect. The Lineage will make arrangements then!"

As Ye Haiyun Ye Jingcheng leaving, Ye Haiyun added something else.

Ye Jingcheng nodded repeatedly in response to Ye Haiyun's suggestion.

Moreover, at this point, he seemed to have understood something.

"Thank you, Fourth Grandfather!" Ye Jingcheng said.

"In addition, here are some Blood Jade Spirit Rice and Spirit Honey. Fourth Grandfather, you can try some. They are very helpful in relieving the fatigue of Alchemists!" Ye Jingcheng took out a small bag of Blood Jade Spirit Rice and a jade jar filled with Spirit Honey.

After saying this, he bowed and took his leave.

Without waiting for Ye Haiyun to stop him, he left the small courtyard and headed towards his own.

He didn't know if the Blood Jade Spirit Rice and Spirit Honey were effective in relieving fatigue, but they could at least increase his Qi and Blood.

He had specifically asked Ye Jingli to buy it at the market.

Ye Haiyun's complexion was far inferior to that of Ye Haiping Ye Haitian.

This is the consequence of years of alchemy practice, and even years of continuous alchemy practice under heavy load.

Although Qi Refining cultivators can live for 120 years, those who are truly depleted of Qi and Blood will die young.

As a junior, Ye Jingcheng could not do much, but at least it was some token of his appreciation.

After leaving Ye Haiyun's courtyard, Ye Jingcheng went to the Treasure Pavilion, where he exchanged some spirit medicine materials and sold all the elixirs he had collected recently to the Treasure Pavilion.

Because of the increased number of pills he produced with the Red Ganoderma Pill and Lotus Yellow Pill, even though he had been in seclusion for so long...

He still had a considerable amount of elixirs left, enough to sustain his cultivation.

However, if he wants the Spirit Beast to continue its steady growth, he needs to refine more pills.

Back in the courtyard, Ye Jingcheng used a dust-removing spell to clean it, making the entire courtyard look brand new.

Finally, he brewed a pot of spiritual tea in the room, heating it to an extremely high temperature.

The aroma of the tea also became more pronounced.

Although this consumes some Spiritual Qi, Ye Jingcheng smiled knowingly upon smelling the pleasant fragrance in the room.

At least this room feels more lively.

He looked around the room. The Crimson Flame Fox was still lying on the edge of the bed, its aura now even stronger, its fur a bright, crimson red.

Because it hadn't refined pills in a long time, the Crimson Flame Fox seemed rather lazy.

But when they see Ye Jingcheng coming, they wag their two tails and walk up to Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng stroked the other's fur. The Crimson Flame Fox's aura was now quite formidable, even among those at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

It's not far from becoming a second-tier Spirit Beast.

This filled Ye Jingcheng with anticipation.

In his expectation, the Spirit Beast would break through first, and then he would break through along with it.

This benefit is equivalent to having several talented cultivators guiding him in his cultivation.

Moreover, the advancement of Spirit Beasts is not as dangerous as that of cultivators, and Foundation Establishment are not required.

After all, their physical bodies are incomparable to those of cultivators; even Body Cultivators can only be said to be close in terms of strength.

The breakthrough failed, but at best, my aura weakened a bit.

Even Ye Jingcheng can provide treatment.

However, advancing Spirit Beast requires a large amount of flesh and blood, as well as the inner core of a high-level Spirit Beast to serve as a spiritual guide.

Otherwise, we can only rely on time to wear it down.

In short, it's not much easier than a cultivator's Foundation Establishment.

Ye Jingcheng would naturally choose the former when it comes to his Spirit Beast.

After feeding the Crimson Flame Fox some Spirit Cuisine, Ye Jingcheng began refining pills. This time, the pill he was refining was the Spirit Nurturing Pill.

The first-grade low-level Spirit Feeding Pill is now only suitable for Jade Ring Rats.

The remaining three Spirit Beasts all need Spirit Nurturing Pills, otherwise it will affect their advancement speed.

During his trip to the Treasure Pavilion, he also exchanged a considerable amount of spiritual spirit medicine for the Spirit Nurturing Pill.

The days that followed returned to normalcy.

Studying Pill Formulas, refining elixirs, picking tea leaves, and tasting tea.

Occasionally, they train the Golden-Scaled Beast, the Crimson Flame Fox, and the Jade-Scale Snake.

The breeding of Five Poison Bees has also been put into progress.

According to his prediction, the opportunity for Foundation Establishment mentioned by Ye Haiyun should not be located at Soaring Cloud Peak.

He knew as early as when he was in the clan school that the Ye Family had an extremely high mortality rate when they went to the Taihang Mountain Range.

Every year, monks perish.

However, judging from his involvement in recent years, this is not the case.

He estimated that the Ye Family probably still had quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators trapped in the Taihang Mountain Range.

He usurped the throne of the Spirit Beasts.

Otherwise, the Ye Family wouldn't have known so clearly about the situation at Jade Dragon Valley that day.

That infiltration through the river clearly indicated that the Ye Family had already heard about the Jade Dragon Pool.

They even knew about the Jade Dragon Grass and the Spirit Egg in advance.

Therefore, at this juncture, enhancing his own strength is also something Ye Jingcheng needs to do.

He selected the spirit bees he had previously chosen for use in the battle and infused them with Treasure Radiance every few days.

It was also supplemented with Spirit Feeding Pills.

Another half month passed.

Those nearly one hundred Five Poison Bee were almost a full size larger than the other Five Poison Bee, and their stingers were also much darker.

Each and every one of them was exceptionally fierce and ruthless.

This pleased Ye Jingcheng greatly, after all, it was Five Poison Bee, and it would be too beneath it if it were just like an ordinary spirit bee.

Summer nights are much clearer than at other times.

The sky was filled with countless stars, like inlaid gems.

Ye Jingcheng was still studying the Pill Formula at this moment.

However, it wasn't any other Pill Formula; he was preparing to take out the Pill Formula for the Golden Scale Pill as well.

You can exchange them for contribution points, which will also strengthen your Lineage.

As for the reasons, he had already laid the groundwork these past few days.

He learned the method of deducing Pill Formula from Ye Haiyun.

He also demonstrated a stronger talent for alchemy. He would ask Ye Haiyun to correct him once or twice, but by the third or fourth time, no correction was needed.

By then, he had probably already become Foundation Establishment cultivator.

They can also provide more Pill Formula, or even customize Pill Formula.

Just then, Ye Jingcheng felt a burning heat emanating from the Lineage Token.

He took out the token.

There are only two words on it. "Assemble!"

Ye Jingcheng was delighted to see this.

The mission has finally arrived.

No wonder Ye Haiyun told him not to cultivate; it turns out this operation started at night.

Ye Jingcheng tidied up the four Spirit Beasts, and he also put away all the Five Poison Bees.

Now that the poisonous flowers have begun to wither, there is no need to keep the bees.

However, he needs to continue entrusting the Poison Thorn Fruit and the Spirit Field to his Lineage.

After everything was done, Ye Jingcheng followed the token's guidance and arrived at the Lineage's Treasure Pavilion. It was already late at night, and Lineage members usually wouldn't come at this time.

At this moment, under the starry sky, there were four cultivators.

Ye Jingcheng was familiar with three of the cultivators: Ye Xingyu Ye Jingyu, and Ye Haiyi.

The last one was shrouded in Spirit-Isolating Robe, so his face was not visible, and even his figure was not any of those in Ye Jingcheng's memory.

But its aura was sharper than ever before.

This put Ye Jingcheng under immense pressure.

This was clearly a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but he also assured that it was neither Ye Xingliu nor Ye Haicheng.

The cultivator in the Spirit-Isolating Robe pulled his arm, and Five-Inch Beast-Link Mark appeared first.

Then it quickly disappeared again.

"This trip is to hunt demons in the Taihang Mountain Range. If you have any questions, you can ask later. For now, you just need to cooperate!"

After saying that, the cultivator took out a spirit mirror and shone it on Ye Jingcheng.

Once he felt everything was alright, he took out a black Spirit Boat.

The Spirit Boat was extremely inconspicuous in the darkness, not even reflecting starlight.

"Board the Spirit Boat!" the cultivator in the Spirit-Isolating Robe continued.

After saying this, the four of them boarded the Spirit Boat together.

The Spirit Boat then headed towards the mountains under the cover of night.

There was no howling wind, and everything was quiet, but Ye Jingcheng sensed that the Spirit Boat was moving faster than Ye Xingliu's.

However, due to the characteristics of the Spirit Boat, and the fact that it was a starry night, their perception was greatly reduced.
