Sandcloud Mountain

Under the starry sky, the Spirit Boat was like an eel diving into the deep sea, so silent that you could hear each other's faint heartbeats.

It seemed extremely out of place compared to the mountains where loud roars of beasts could be heard from time to time.

What reassured Ye Jingcheng was that even though the Spirit Boat was quite fast, not many birds came to harass it.

This is enough to show the concealment of the Spirit Boat and the Lineage's familiarity with the Taihang Mountain Range.

The seating arrangement on the Spirit Boat was as follows: the cultivator in the spirit- Spirit-Isolating Robe at the front, followed by Ye Haiyi, Ye Xingyu, Ye Jingyu, and Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu were both looking at the cultivator in the Spirit-Isolating Robe from behind with a meaningful gaze.

Clearly, they were both unfamiliar with this cultivator in the Spirit-Isolating Robe.

Ye Xingyu, on the other hand, seemed hesitant to speak.

"This is your fifteenth great-uncle, in charge of the Lineage's Dark Hall!" Ye Haiyi explained first upon seeing Ye Xingyu's appearance.

Now that we're on the Spirit Boat, there's no risk of leaks, so we don't need to be as cautious as before.

"Now you are considered cultivators of the Lineage's Dark Hall!"

At this point, the cultivator in the Spirit-Isolating Robe turned around, revealing a slightly aged face, thus greeting the group.

"Fifteenth Grand Uncle!" Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu also bowed and greeted him.

"Fifteenth Uncle!" Ye Xingyu also spoke up.

Because Ye Xingyu already knew of Ye Xueliang's existence, he was a step behind.

"You are indeed very good young people, but remember, you must always avoid being hasty and impetuous. You are the hope of the Lineage, and you have a long way to go!" Ye Xueliang's voice was a little hoarse.

There are different expectations for each of them.

"As you might have guessed, the Lineage's foundation and heritage are far beyond what ordinary Purple Mansion Lineage or Foundation Establishment Lineage can compare to. But the Lineage's enemies are also beyond what other Lineage can compare to. Some hatreds will not change even after a thousand years, and their determination to eliminate future troubles is not weak either..." Ye Xueliang continued, a hint of hatred welling up in his eyes.

But more than anything, it was an expectation, as if he saw the Ye Family one day, many years later, no longer needing to hide anything.

Ye Jingcheng perked up, wanting to know more, but Ye Xueliang remained silent.

In Ye Jingcheng's view, the Ye Family should at least have enemies who are Golden Core Lineage.

Otherwise, the Lineage wouldn't need to be so cautious.

Moreover, every action taken by the Lineage must be carried out through the Beast-Link Mark.

Seeing that Ye Jingcheng still had some doubts, Ye Haiyi explained to Ye Jingcheng:

"As for more information, there's no need to know that much before you Foundation Establishment. Right now, the most important thing for the three of you is to Foundation Establishment as soon as possible!"

"The Lineage has high expectations for you, so don't let the Lineage down or even yourselves!" Ye Haiyi said.

These words were also spoken to Ye Xingyu was the fifteenth in the Xing generation.

There are less than three years left until the age of sixty.

If Ye Xingyu fails, he will completely lose the possibility of Foundation Establishment.

Although the power of Qi and Blood can be replenished, it is like lifespan, and there is very little that can be reversed.

Even if they existed, for the Lineage, such longevity fruits and spiritual items should be reserved for the Lineage's cultivators who were aiming for higher realms.

"Thank you for your guidance, Third Grandfather!"

"Thank you for your guidance, Uncle!"

"Take a look at these Jade Slips!" Ye Haiyi said, then took out three Jade Slips and handed them to the three people respectively.

Ye Jingcheng placed the Jade Slip between his eyebrows. Inside the Jade Slip was not something else, but a guide on how to survive in the Taihang Mountain Range.

This included their purpose for the trip, an introduction to Sand Cloud Mountain, and the distribution of second-tier, first-tier, and even third- Demon Beasts Demon Beast the surrounding area.

At the same time, warnings are issued for some more urgent situations.

For example, there are records of harbingers of Beast Tide, such as the patrols of powerful demons in the Purple Mansion and Golden Core Demon Kings...

The contents of this Jade Slip would be considered a treasure to many Lineage.

Ye Jingcheng dared not be careless about the contents of this Jade Slip and memorized them all.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he had completely digested the information and handed the Jade Slip to Ye Haiyi.

His fourth brother and fifteenth uncle were almost identical.

After reading the Jade Slip, the seriousness on their faces lessened somewhat.

After all, many things are no longer unknown.

Moreover, according to the Lineage's description, there should be quite a few Foundation Establishment in the Lineage, and perhaps even some at the Purple Mansion.

However, these Purple Mansion Foundation Establishment are all located within the Taihang Mountain Range, so the Lineage's Spirit Veins have not been upgraded.

This can actually be seen from the time when the Turtle Ancestor advanced in rank; that time, there really was a second-grade high-quality Mystic Turtle inner core.

The second-tier superior-grade Mystic Turtle inner core was most likely obtained by the Lineage from a recent kill in the Taihang Mountain Range.

Unbeknownst to them, the Spirit Boat had already entered the Taihang Mountain Range.

And a hint of pale light began to appear on the horizon.

The Spirit Boat began to whistle through the wind and gradually descended below the mountains.

"This Spirit Boat is crafted from the wings of the Darkstar Bat, making it safer and more stealthy for nighttime flight!" Ye Xueliang said.

He then led the group into a cave that had been there for some time.

The cave was laid out exactly the same as before, with all the mortal mechanisms and details inside being identical.

However, the next moment, Ye Xueliang walked into the depths of the cave, and a black scorpion the size of a palm fell from the top of the cave, landing directly in his hand.

This scorpion is called the Black-Armored Scorpion, and it is also a social scorpion.

"Everyone, take a rest for a day. We'll arrive tomorrow night!" Ye Xueliang put the scorpion back on the ground, and the scorpion slowly crawled out of the cave again.

It seems they went to investigate the route they came from, to see if any cultivators were following them.

Ye Jingcheng also released the Jade Ring Rat. With the rat around, he felt much more at ease in the Taihang Mountain Range.

Nothing else happened during the day. Ye Jingcheng learned from Ye Xingyu that the major Lineage in the Taihang Mountain Range had been quite unsettled recently, but the Ye Family remained unaffected.

The Chu Family acquired the Purple Palace Jade Liquid, and the old patriarch of the Chu Family has already gone into seclusion in Taichang Market.

Break through to the Purple Mansion.

If the breakthrough is successful, it will be a member of the Purple Mansion Lineage.

This made the Xu Family and Mo Families extremely anxious, as having another Purple Mansion Lineage meant they needed to share more profits.

But they simply had no way to solve it.

Within Taichang Market, even Golden Core Lineage cannot extend their reach.

They could only hope that the Chu Family would fail in their breakthrough.

Therefore, in recent years, some of the Chu Family's clans and geniuses have been targeted by the Bandit Cultivators.

This was to make Chu Tianfen's Heart Demons stronger, thus causing him to fail in his breakthrough.

The Chen Family, on the other hand, suffered a rather tragic fate. The cultivator they went to buy Foundation Establishment Pills was robbed on the way.

Not only were the Spirit Stones gone, but the Foundation Establishment were also lost.

In addition, the Chen Family compensated the Ye Family with a lot of Spirit Stones, and in the end, it was still offset by a second-tier Law Artifact.

On the contrary, the Li Family brought back two Foundation Establishment, and two cultivators have already begun their seclusion to break through to the Foundation Establishment.

Ye Jingcheng didn't pay much attention to these things. After learning about his Lineage's situation, his interest in the other major Foundation Establishment Lineage also decreased significantly.

However, he is currently unclear about the Lineage's goals.

While forbearance can certainly allow one to secretly accumulate strength.

However, they will also miss out on many of the Lineage's resources and treasures.

As dusk fell, the Spirit Boat once again took to the air, heading towards the mountains under the cover of night.

However, this time the flight altitude was much lower.

Although the Darkstar Boat made from the wings of the Darkstar Bat is extremely well concealed, the great Demon Kings in the mountains also have amazing eyesight. If they attract attention, the Ye Family will still not gain any advantage.

This time, the Spirit Boat didn't fly all night; instead, it landed at a mine at midnight.

The vegetation on this mountain is very sparse, but as Ye Xueliang raised his hand, countless Black-Armored Scorpions emerged from the caves in the mountain, and in the blink of an eye, they became densely packed.

Under the starlight, these Black-Armored Scorpions emitted a chilling spiritual light.

Ye Xueliang clapped his hands again, and the Black-Armored Scorpions once more embedded themselves in the ground and disappeared.

"These Black-Armored Scorpions guard Sand Cloud Mountain at night and graze the Sand Antelopes in Sand Cloud Valley during the day!"

"Each of you should take one Black Scorpion Pill later, and these Black-Armored Scorpions will not have any ill intentions towards you," Ye Xueliang explained.

The others, except for Ye Jingcheng, all showed a hint of envy.

After all, social Spirit Insects do have certain unique advantages at times.

Then, Ye Xueliang gave each of the four men a Black Scorpion Pill.

After the four took the medicine, they followed the others towards the peak of Sand Cloud Mountain.

Once they reached the mountain peak, another secret passage appeared.

Entering the secret passage leads to an underground hall.

There were many more Stone Chambers inside, and these Stone Chambers were all carved with many Spirit Patterns.

These Spirit Patterns are all concealed Spirit Patterns. After passing through the Spirit Patterns Stone Chamber, there is a corridor, where an old man is currently sitting.

"Ninth Uncle!" Ye Haiyi bowed and spoke.

Then he looked at Ye Jingcheng and the others, and introduced them as well:

"This is your ninth great-uncle, Patriarch Xuefu!"

"Ninth Grand Uncle!"

"Ninth Uncle!"

"That's right, which one of you is Jingcheng?" Ye Xuefu asked.

"Yes, Ninth Grand Uncle," Ye Jingcheng replied.

"Very good, come with me, the rest of you find your own rooms!" Ye Xuefu led Ye Jingcheng to a room.

As soon as the door was opened, a terrifyingly high temperature emanated from it. Upon closer inspection, Ye Jingcheng realized that the layout of the room was exactly the same as the Ye Family's underground fire chamber!

There is also a fire vein below.

No wonder the vegetation on this mountain is sparse.

The presence of underground fire veins means that this mountain peak will never receive rain or dew.

"Let me see you refine an Azure Spirit Pill!" Ye Xuefu said.

"Yes, Ninth Grandfather!" Ye Jingcheng nodded and took out the Azure Elephant Furnace to begin refining the Azure Spirit Pill.

From the Cong Yu slip, he already knew that Ye Xuefu was a second-tier mid-grade Alchemist in the Lineage.

Of course, this doesn't mean Ye Xuefu can only refine mid-grade second-tier spirit pills.

However, Ye Xuefu believed that a pill without spiritual fragrance was not a complete pill.

Therefore, he refers to himself as a mid-grade second-tier Alchemist.

In fact, even second-tier high-grade spiritual pills can be refined.

This is the true foundation of the Ye Family, which is why Ye Jingcheng is quite nervous at this moment.

Judging from Ye Xuefu's current appearance, it's clear that Ye Haiyun recommended him.

Without the Crimson Flame Fox, refining elixirs would certainly not be so smooth for him.

Fortunately, this time it was the Azure Spirit Pill that was being refined.
