Ye Jingteng's Invitation
Before the rising morning glow at Soaring Cloud Peak, the Crimson Flame Fox landed on the cliff face, looking towards the far east, where a wisp of purple qi slowly drifted in.
It seemed exceptionally excited.
Compared to looking through that small window, it clearly preferred that Ye Jingcheng take it to watch the sunrise and feel the vibrant energy of the fire.
"Chirp!" Its fiery red fur seemed to shine even brighter.
It galloped around Ye Jingcheng, but Ye Jingcheng closed his eyes slightly and did not look at it.
Ye Jingcheng's entire body was slightly flushed, and his hands were forming rather complex hand seals.
"Go!" The next moment, with a cold shout, the last spiritual spell was cast, and dozens of crimson fire feathers actually condensed around Ye Jingcheng.
These fire feathers are three inches long, with flames burning behind each one, and pure spiritual energy at the tips!
With a flick of Ye Jingcheng's finger, the flames surged downwards towards the cliff, igniting into a blazing inferno.
"It's similar in form but not in spirit!" Ye Jingcheng shook his head.
What he was using was naturally the Fire Attribute Secret Method inherent in the Four-Aspect Heavenly Origin Scripture: Falling Flame Fire Feathers.
However, according to the Secret Method, when the fire feathers are formed, a phoenix's cry should accompany them, and the patterns on the fire feathers should be clearly visible, as if they were natural.
His patterns weren't even clear yet, let alone the sound of a phoenix.
And this was already a month after the Jade-Scale Snake had fallen into slumber.
However, Ye Jingcheng was not discouraged. He had also encountered many difficulties when he first started cultivating first-tier Law Technique.
Now that he possesses the liquid Fire Attribute spiritual power condensed by the Crimson Flame Fox, his mastery of the Falling Flame Fire Feathers has already made great progress.
Beside him, seemingly in response to Ye Jingcheng, the Crimson Flame Fox also conjured a thick fire feather.
It hurtled towards the cliff face.
Ye Jingcheng was somewhat amused and exasperated. Was the Crimson Flame Fox trying to comfort him?
Unfortunately, the Crimson Flame Fox could only compress the Fireball Technique, and the resulting feathers were essentially small fire daggers.
This is only due to its fire-controlling talent, not its actual fire feathers.
However, Ye Jingcheng also has something to learn from: if he were to cultivate the Fire Feather and then compress it further.
That Secret Method must be considered a powerful Secret Method for those in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
It can make up for the lack of Law Artifact.
During his Qi Refining stage, he was able to fight beyond his level because he had a considerable number of top-grade and high-grade Law Artifact, as well as four Spirit Beasts.
Now that we've reached the Foundation Establishment, we've essentially returned to a starting point.
After all, no one who can Foundation Establishment is a good person; the schemes in their hearts could probably fill a book.
Not to mention their methods.
Without mastering two Secret Method, Ye Jingcheng didn't feel very secure.
"Let's go, let's go back!" Ye Jingcheng waved, and the Crimson Flame Fox immediately followed.
After crossing a mountain peak, we reached Soaring Cloud Peak and returned to our own courtyard.
Ye Jingcheng brewed himself a pot of spiritual tea, and recently began practicing Secret Method.
It always left him exhausted; it was far more complicated than studying Pill Formula.
Ye Jingcheng always made it a habit to drink a few sips of tea after finishing his Secret Method practice.
While drinking tea, he also went through all the Secret Method in his mind.
Just then, a communication talisman flew in.
"Jingcheng!" Ye Jingli's voice rang out from afar.
Today, Ye Jingli into a clean blue long robe, his hair was neatly tied back, and his face looked much more delicate.
This is extremely rare for an Artifact Refiner.
"Sixth Brother, congratulations on breaking through again!" Ye Jingcheng looked at Ye Jingli currently at the seventh level of Qi Refining. Although this speed was not fast, it was not slow either.
After all, Ye Jingli only possessed four Spirit Root.
Even if he possessed the Beast Communion, with his strength he could only communicate with one beast.
"Big brother is here!" Ye Jingcheng thought Ye Jingli was celebrating, but what followed surprised him.
Ye Jingteng has arrived.
Ye Jingteng had broken through a barrier a year ago, but he had been consolidating his cultivation and had not returned to Soaring Cloud Peak.
"Let's go to the Stone Bamboo Grove," Ye Jingli said.
"My brother said he has a chance to get his hands on Foundation Establishment!" Ye Jingli said excitedly.
"Sixth Brother, do you remember what Uncle said? For us cultivators, we should talk less!" Ye Jingcheng was a little afraid that Ye Jingli.
It should be noted that Ye Jingteng did not Beast-Link Mark markings, and Ye Jingli's appearance clearly indicated that he was very excited.
Ye Jingli could keep the secret from other outsiders, but he was afraid they wouldn't know if Ye Jingteng had it.
The Foundation Establishment is undoubtedly very attractive, but for Ye Jingcheng now, its appeal is only so-so...
Ye Jingcheng packed some spirit tea; he didn't bring spirit honey, but Ye Xingqun did.
The two walked along the path, and Ye Jingli kept looking at Ye Jingcheng.
"Jingcheng, I feel like you've changed."
"Sixth Brother, why is it different from one of them?" Ye Jingcheng chuckled.
Ye Jingli shook his head and said nothing more; he couldn't say it.
The two soon arrived at the Stone Bamboo Grove, which was extremely cool and refreshing in late summer.
A gentle breeze made the bamboo leaves in the bamboo grove rustle and whisper.
Ye Xingqun's bamboo grove became even more secluded.
Ye Jingcheng estimated that this was related to the transformation of the Lineage's Spirit Vein.
"Seventh Uncle, Big Brother!" Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingli called out almost simultaneously.
Today, Ye Jingteng is wearing a loose Daoist robe with a magic word on it.
They represent the cultivators of Taiyi Illusion Peak.
Even within the Taiyi Sect, only Foundation Establishment cultivators can wear this Illusion Robe.
"Jingcheng Jingli here!" Ye Jingteng spoke first.
Ye Xingqun's expression changed slightly, but he remained silent.
The two sat down in front of the pavilion.
"Seventh Uncle, Eldest Brother, the spiritual tea I have is growing exceptionally well lately. Would you like to try some?" Ye Jingcheng first took out the Spring Welcoming Tea, then took out the tenderest spiritual tea leaves and began brewing the tea on the spot.
Furthermore, Ye Jingcheng used alchemy techniques to make the spirit tea even more fragrant.
Even though they were both wine lovers, their eyes gleamed differently at that moment.
Previously, they thought that the spiritual tea was as bland as water and tasteless.
Now, however, their expressions changed.
"Jingcheng, your spiritual tea is truly excellent. It seems that among the four arts of cultivation, there is none you cannot master if you are willing to learn them!" Ye Xingqun said with some emotion.
Ye Jingteng and Ye Jingli nearby, also chimed in with drinks.
Ye Jingcheng waved his hand.
"Seventh Uncle, Eldest Brother, you flatter me. The tea I grow is fragrant but not effective. If someone who doesn't know anything about tea were to ask me to do something like a frivolous exercise, I would just be wasting my time!"
The three of them immediately smiled.
Then, everyone looked at Ye Jingteng.
"The main character this time is our eldest brother. He has successfully Foundation Establishment and has stepped into the gate of the Great Dao!"
"Jingcheng is too kind. We owe you all a debt of gratitude this time. I also came here to see if any Lineage are interested in joining a sect, since Foundation Establishment are easier to obtain in sects."
Ye Jingteng was much more straightforward than before, no longer beating around the bush. Perhaps it was because he had reached the Foundation Establishment and felt that sometimes there was no need to be so roundabout.
As he said this, he also looked at Ye Jingcheng, because he noticed that Ye Jingcheng's cultivation level had already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.
