Golden-Eyed Crow

Inside the underground fire chamber, the crimson flames had not completely dissipated, and Ye Jingcheng's expression showed some panic.

This time, Ye Xuefu was not like Ye Haiyun before, who took special care of him and slowed down his pace.

Moreover, this is a second-tier Pill Formula.

It's far more complex than a first-tier Pill Formula.

It's too difficult to expect him to memorize something after just one viewing.

Moreover, some details cannot be sensed without using Divine Sense to probe inside the Pill Furnace.

Ye Xuefu didn't tell him in advance so he could prepare.

But since Ye Xuefu had said so, Ye Jingcheng still did as he was told, because doing it well and not doing it at all were two different things.

He took out the Jade Slip and slowly described the Pill Formula.

Because he had always had this habit, there were no problems at first; on the contrary, things went quite smoothly.

The maturity status, age, and fire temperature of each spirit medicine were all recorded in detail. Only when melting the herbs did a few things become unclear.

"Ninth Grand Uncle!" Ye Jingcheng respectfully handed over the Jade Slip.

The latter glanced at it, his face remaining expressionless.

He only uttered two words: "So-so".

Ye Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that the evaluation wasn't a complete mess.

You should know that this great-uncle has extremely high standards.

A pill without Pill Fragrance cannot be considered a complete pill.

"You can come and watch me refine pills in the future, and then draw out the Pill Formula!" Ye Xuefu marked the Jade Slip, and also marked some of the research methods inside for Ye Jingcheng.

It was then handed over to Ye Jingcheng.

"I will also refine Foundation Establishment in the future, but due to the Heavenly Dao Oath, I cannot label them for you, do you understand?" Ye Xuefu spoke again.

Ye Jingcheng was startled by this remark.

The fact that the Foundation Establishment Pill cannot be labeled means that once the recipe for it was obtained, it could not be passed down orally.

In the Cultivation World, the Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion Purple Palace Jade Liquid are extremely precious, and the Pill Formula for them is very difficult to obtain outside the world.

Whether it's distributed by the sect or sold externally, the buyer is required to Heavenly Dao Oath that they will not pass it on to others. Some of the more ruthless ones even require the Heavenly Dao Oath to be that the Pill Formula cannot be passed on to anyone else.

Therefore, even if the Pill Formula is seen and described by someone, that person cannot continue to pass it on to others.

Otherwise, the first person's Heavenly Dao Oath would still be effective.

"Also, remember to be careful when you're out and about. Sometimes even Heavenly Dao Oath don't work!" Ye Xuefu seemed to realize that what he was saying wasn't quite right, as if he were implying that the Lineage was taking advantage of loopholes, so he added again.

"Ninth Grand Uncle, Jingcheng has learned a lot!" Ye Jingcheng nodded.

"Continue with the furnace. The path of alchemy is long. May you see a higher view." Ye Xuefu said with some emotion, but didn't say much more before leaving the Earth Fire Chamber.

Refining this Purple Sun Pill is clearly extremely mentally taxing.

"Thank you very much, Ninth Uncle!" Ye Jingcheng nodded repeatedly.

They were also very grateful to Ye Xuefu.

If he can learn the formula for Foundation Establishment Pill this time, he can refine it himself in the future. Even if several spirit beasts lack sufficient blood and spiritual energy, he can use Foundation Establishment Pill to help them.

Moreover, his status within the Lineage would also be elevated.

Ye Jingcheng suppressed his excitement, summarized his thoughts, and then began practicing the Furnace Formation.

This time, he followed Ye Xuefu's example and closed his eyes to rest, letting many thoughts about the furnace surface in his mind.

After a long while, he seemed to hear an elephant's cry, so he took out the Azure Elephant Furnace and placed it in the flames to heat it.

This time the flames were huge, and Ye Jingcheng only felt a wisp of blue light appear within them.

The next moment, under his Divine Sense, all the Spirit Patterns contained within the Azure Elephant Furnace were under his gaze.

The flames began to change, and accompanied by a clear elephant's cry, this time, a blue light appeared on the entire Azure Elephant Furnace, as if an azure elephant had raised its foot.

"It's finally done!" The feeling of nurturing the furnace was wonderful, and even Ye Jingcheng enjoyed it very much.

After completing the Furnace Formation practice, Ye Jingcheng summarized again, concluding that he no longer needed to practice Furnace Formation.

He walked out of the Earth Fire Chamber and into the hall, where he found that Ye Jingyu and Ye Xingyu had already returned. They would be traveling together for the next few days, while Ye Jingcheng's three Spirit Beasts were cooperating perfectly and didn't need them at all.

So Ye Jingcheng ended up acting alone, while the other two accompanied him.

This approach succeeds because it is stable.

Both of them chose to first Beast Communion Foundation Establishment with a second-tier Spirit Beast, and then cultivate their own natal Spirit Beast.

Ye Jingcheng's thoughts have changed. If the Crimson Flame Fox breaks through to the second tier first, he will then advance to the second tier before Foundation Establishment. If the Foundation Establishment is ready but the Crimson Flame Fox has not yet broken through, Ye Jingcheng will choose another second-tier Spirit Beast from the Lineage.

This will maximize his cultivation speed.

"Fourth Brother, Fifteenth Uncle!" However, the next moment, Ye Jingcheng's face showed some surprise.

Because both of them were seriously injured, a large area under their Daoist robes could be vaguely seen to be burned red.

His face was even paler.

It appears they were chased by Fire Attribute cultivators.

Ye Xuefu gave them some miraculous pills, and they gradually improved.

Their complexions had regained some color, but there was still lingering fear in their eyes.

"A Golden-Eyed Crow has appeared, chasing after the Golden Armor Pig!" Ye Xingyu applied an Ice Clarity Talisman to the injured area, trying to lessen the pain.

Ye Jingcheng was also surprised when he heard the Golden-Eyed Crow.

Demon Beast generally have a sense of territory. Even though birds don't have such a strong sense of territory and can fly over a wide area, they still have a sense of territory.

They only hunt familiar prey and are highly wary of their surroundings.

"This beast seems to have laid eggs. Its aura is off, and it looks like it's severely weakened. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to escape!" Ye Jingyu added from the side. He casually took out a Jade Slip, which showed the image of the Golden-Eyed Crow spraying flames.

"When your fifteenth great-uncle returns, he will tell you!" Ye Xuefu said, then patted Ye Jingyu on the shoulder.

The group waited, and soon Ye Xueliang walked in.

"Ninth Brother, it really just laid its eggs. This Golden-Eyed Crow is a high-grade second-tier Demon Beast, and it might even be a third-tier one!"

"Moreover, this Golden-Eyed Crow lacked the means to subdue enemies inside, so it came from the outer perimeter!"

"Then let's get ready. The Spirit Flame of a second-tier Golden-Eyed Crow is not weak, and its entire body of fire feathers is also a valuable treasure!" Ye Xuefu nodded, agreeing to this operation.

The latter then looked at Ye Jingcheng:

"There's a very high chance this Golden-Eyed Crow has an inner core; perhaps your Crimson Flame Fox will have fortuitous opportunity!"

For Demon Beast, the best remedy for advancement is the inner core of Demon Beast of the same attribute.

However, this inner core is extremely rare; Ye Jingcheng had only seen it once before, when he was in Jade Dragon Valley.

There's a pattern to determining whether an inner core exists: agile Spirit Beast that can cast Law Technique are more likely to have one, while Demon Beast that rely on brute force and have only muscular muscles are rare.

The Crimson Flame Fox is the best example.

That's why Ye Xuefu said there's a high probability that the Golden-Eyed Crow exists.
