The Clan Bestows a Treasure
Under the setting sun, the earth was peaceful and covered with golden light, just like the scene of a bountiful harvest in autumn.
A Spirit Boat, carried by the evening glow, descended together with a lone wild goose in the sky.
On the Spirit Boat, Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu stood together, letting the setting sun shine on their faces, their eyes slightly narrowed.
An indescribable sense of comfort and peace.
Although the Taihang Mountains offer countless fortuitous opportunities, only Soaring Cloud Peak can provide them with that sense of peace.
Because the Spirit Boat was only a first-tier Spirit Boat, it still took the two of them two days to return to Soaring Cloud Peak.
But that lone wild goose, whose Spirit Beast is it, I wonder?
As the Spirit Boat landed, it continued to circle in the air, its wings making a large gesture of invitation.
Seeing this, the two couldn't help but smile.
Ye Jingcheng then threw out a Spirit Feeding Pill.
The latter immediately snatched it up, then stretched its neck and swallowed it, before putting on an even more vigorous performance.
However, as soon as he tried to use it, his body couldn't help but fall down, making him look extremely comical.
But as soon as it falls a little, it rises a little.
Only after Ye Jingyu also took out a Spirit Feeding Pill did the lone goose scurry towards the interior of Soaring Cloud Peak and finally disappear from sight.
The two watched the lone wild goose fly away, and smiled.
He took out the Lineage Token, Array opened instantly, revealing that the clouds that blotted out the sky parted into two streams.
The two landed on a mountain path in Soaring Cloud Peak.
This time, upon my return, it was still summer, and I could still faintly smell the lingering fragrance of a hundred flowers.
"Father requests your presence!" At that moment, a jade talisman flew over and was caught by Ye Jingyu.
Ye Jingyu looked at Ye Jingcheng and spoke.
"Okay, Fourth Brother!" Ye Jingcheng nodded, though he was curious about his tea tree and other spiritual flowers such as the Black Cloud Flower Purple Illusion Flower, and Poison Thorn Flower.
But a little more time isn't a big deal right now.
The two arrived at the Council Hall, where Ye Xingliu had clearly been waiting for some time.
"Third Uncle!"
"Father!" Both of them bowed respectfully.
"Excellent, you've all Foundation Establishment. The Lineage's judgment of you was correct!" Ye Xingliu exclaimed, appearing extremely pleased.
Then, she even poured a cup of tea for Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu, which made them both feel flattered.
Needless to say, Ye Jingcheng was extremely strict with Ye Jingyu, and even Ye Xingliu was extremely strict with him, so the latter was somewhat afraid of Ye Xingliu.
"Thank you, Uncle Xie. My breakthrough is also thanks to the Lineage!" Ye Jingcheng replied.
He then accepted the teacup with both hands.
But he didn't drink it immediately; he waited until Ye Xingliu had drunk it before Ye Jingcheng did.
He did not overstep his bounds in the slightest. Although he had also Foundation Establishment, he was still a junior in the Lineage, and he could not neglect these courtesies for even a day.
"Jingyu and Jingcheng, these are gifts prepared by the Lineage for your Foundation Establishment!" After finishing his tea, Ye Xingliu took out two Storage Bags and handed them to Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu respectively.
Seemingly noticing their curiosity, Ye Xingliu waved his hand, gesturing for them to open it and take a look.
Ye Jingyu opened the Storage Bag and found Black Wind Banner with three Beast Souls inside.
Just by holding this banner in your hand, you can feel its extraordinary nature; it is clearly a magical Law Artifact specially crafted for Ye Jingyu.
Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng also opened his Storage Bag. He didn't have a second-tier Law Artifact yet, and after having his fill of the Red Feather Spear, he was now looking forward to having his own second-tier Law Artifact.
Ye Jingcheng opened the Storage Bag and took out a black Xuan Ding (mysterious cauldron).
This mysterious cauldron was covered in Spirit Patterns and emitted a faint glow, making it exceptionally extraordinary.
"This cauldron is called the Origin-Suppressing Cauldron. It combines the functions of trapping, suppressing, and defending. Jingcheng, why don't you input your Spiritual Qi and see if it's suitable?" Ye Xingliu with a smile.
Ye Jingcheng nodded. He channeled his Spiritual Qi, and the Spirit Patterns on the cauldron appeared. The Origin-Suppressing Cauldron instantly expanded dozens of times, and the gravity suddenly increased, but Ye Jingcheng could easily control it to shift positions.
It contains three array diagrams, corresponding to suppression, trapping and killing, and defense respectively.
This greatly pleased Ye Jingcheng.
He has four Spirit Beasts, so he won't lack attacks. What he needs right now is a treasure that combines defense and trapping.
"Thank you very much, Third Uncle!" Ye Jingcheng touched the cauldron pattern with great affection, then put it away and expressed his gratitude again.
"This is what you deserve. Now I know clearly that you are the Lineage's number one Alchemist, and the Lineage will need your support in the future!"
Ye Xingliu continued speaking, and Ye Jingcheng also learned that the current situation in Taihang Marketplace was extremely unfavorable.
The Chu Family's Lineage lands have been subject to frequent changes, being robbed multiple times by unknown Bandit Cultivators.
The patriarch of the Chu Family is currently in seclusion in Taichang Market.
Besides the Chu Family, the Chen Family and Li Families also seem to have formed connections.
They were constantly finding fault with the Ye Family.
Friction has even begun at some of the border areas between the two companies.
However, when the matter was reported to the sect, the sect gave it a perfunctory response.
It seems they are intentionally ignoring the reshuffling happening in the Taihang Mountains.
This is also why Ye Xingliu that the two of them return.
"Jingcheng, regarding the Lineage, you should focus on refining spirit pills for now. The Lineage will find a Wood Attribute Spirit Beast for you, and the Spirit Beast meat will be provided from various places..." Ye Xingliu said to Ye Jingcheng at the end.
The Ye Family hasn't reached the point where they need to make their move yet.
However, with Ye Jingcheng as Alchemist, things became much easier, and Ye Haiyun no longer needed to expend so much effort to refine pills beyond his level.
It's much better than before.
Ye Jingcheng was happy with this arrangement. He was worried about not being able to find Wood Attribute Spirit Beast, and Spirit Beast meat was the biggest problem for him when he returned to his Lineage.
But now all of these problems have been solved.
"By the way, Jingcheng and Jingyu, you two should both control your cultivation levels and not be too high-profile!" Ye Xingliu added.
Both nodded in agreement, especially Ye Jingcheng. He possessed four Spirit Roots, so it was one thing for him to break through Qi Refining quickly, but to achieve Foundation Establishment so rapidly naturally required him to conceal it for a period of time.
They also possess the Turtle-Breath Qi-Hiding Art.
As long as they don't reveal their cultivation level themselves, there's no need to worry about it being exposed.
After discussing the situation for a while, Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu also left one after the other.
Ye Jingcheng returned to his own courtyard. Ye Jingyu was still there and was quite surprised to see Ye Jingcheng return.
"Seventh Sister, thank you for your hard work!"
"It's not hard work, just using the Cloud and Rain Technique every few days to keep an eye on the Five Poison Bees." Ye Jingyu shook her head, but then she added with a hint of envy:
"However, Jingcheng, your spiritual flowers and herbs seem to be somewhat unusual. Perhaps this ley line is special. You could try planting some other spirit medicine!"
"It's a waste to only grow poisonous flowers and ordinary spiritual tea!"
"Seventh Sister's suggestion is correct!" Ye Jingcheng nodded, acknowledging her idea.
Of course, in his heart, he thought otherwise. He knew that this wasn't because his earth veins were special.
Instead, he infused these Spirit Plants with a great deal of Treasure Radiance, improving them to a level far superior to ordinary Spirit Plants, both in terms of the plants themselves and the seeds.
Fortunately, he hadn't had the chance to input the Treasure Radiance in the past year or so, otherwise Ye Jingyu would have been even more surprised.
