Chen and Li's Scheme

The wind in the Stone Bamboo Grove suddenly picked up.

The whistling sound made the bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest rustle.

Bamboo rats began to hide among the bamboo leaves, and the clouds in the sky were unusual, as if a storm was brewing.

The expressions of the others in the pavilion changed slightly.

They knew Ye Jingteng had come back for some business, but they didn't expect it to be something so big.

"Our Lineage has been weak among the Lineage for a long time, unable to gain a foothold in the sect. However, if our Lineage could produce more talented individuals within the sect and have them become middle-level members, we could be just like the Chu Family this time!" Ye Jingteng said.

He spoke these words with a certain openness, showing no fear even when looking at Ye Xingqun.

"The possibility of Chu Tianfen, the patriarch of the Chu Family, breaking through to the Purple Mansion realm is extremely high. In Taihang Commandery, it should be a foregone conclusion that three Purple Mansion Lineage will emerge!" Ye Jingteng continued.

He had inside information and knew a great deal about Chu Tianfen's seclusion.

The Chu Family patriarch truly lived up to his reputation.

Even though his Lineage's territory was robbed in several places, he remained completely calm and focused on his cultivation.

"Brother, I am only a person with four Spirit Root. I am not afraid of you laughing at me for being able to break through to this point. I am cultivating the Everlasting Evergreen Art without bottlenecks." Ye Jingcheng asked tentatively, a bitter smile on his lips.

"And it's because of his special skill that he gained the trust of his Lineage."

His Spirit Root was no secret.

Ye Jingli nodded in agreement; his Spirit Root was also not good.

He also relied on his identity as Artifact Refiner.

"I can help you obtain the Foundation Establishment. Then, we can cooperate secretly and achieve great success within the sect!"

"Once we gain sufficient power and break through to the Purple Mansion and Golden Core stages, we might be able to support our Lineage in the same way as the Chu Family!"

"Back then, it was still about revitalizing the Lineage," Ye Jingteng added again, this time with an even grander vision.

For Ye Jingcheng, this might be a pie in the sky for Ye Jingteng to improve his status in the sect, or it might genuinely be for the sake of his Lineage.

But you have to think about it: why did so many Lineage who invested heavily in the sect end up with only the Chu Family?

Don't the sect's higher-ups see those who take shortcuts and use their influence to benefit their Lineage?

Ye Jingcheng disagreed with this point.

Moreover, he was well aware of his Lineage's resources and strength.

"Brother, the Lineage has already agreed to let me become an elder of the Lineage's Alchemy Hall," Ye Jingcheng said again tactfully.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingteng could only sigh.

As for Ye Jingli, he didn't continue to try to persuade him.

"Jing Teng, Jingcheng, why don't you eat first? It looks like it's going to rain, and I might need to train my Five Poison Bee," Ye Xingqun said.

However, this one sentence only made the atmosphere on the field worse.

The spiritual food and wine that Ye Jingteng had taken out were still untouched on the table.

The four met, but only drank two sips of tea.

Ye Jingteng's expression changed slightly; he knew this was Ye Xingqun issuing an order to leave.

Moreover, he estimated that in the future, even if he were to reach the Foundation Establishment, he might not get the better end of the deal.

"Seventh Uncle, Jingcheng, since you don't have this idea, let's not discuss it for now. But I've received news that we still need to be careful about the Lineage's situation."

"The Chen Family and Li Family may be taking action soon, and it won't be a small one. They're worried about Grandfather, so he's in seclusion!" Ye Jingteng said.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the others subtly changed.

Ye Jingcheng, in particular, personally went to Taichang Market. He knew that some people must have had doubts about that Dao of Alchemy exchange conference.

Given the trouble the Chu Family has gone through, even without evidence, the mere fact that they were prepared for the worst is enough.

They were all somewhat worried, after all, the matter of the Bloodheart Pill was aimed at the Ye Family.

In particular, Li Yulan, the patriarch of the Li Family, had visited Soaring Cloud Peak once.

They were even more certain.

"Thank you for the news, elder brother!" Ye Jingcheng cupped his hands in thanks. Ye Xingqun was an elder and could leave, but he could not.

Moreover, Ye Jingteng hasn't done anything detrimental to the Lineage yet; it's just that the other party clearly can't wrap their head around it.

At first, I thought sects were good because they could help one achieve the Great Dao.

Later, due to complicated relationships within the sect regarding Foundation Establishment, they were unable to obtain the Foundation Establishment and sought help from their Lineage again.

Now that Foundation Establishment, he wants to lead his Lineage's cultivators to steal Foundation Establishment from the sect.

Ye Jingcheng can only say that this is wishful thinking.

"Jingcheng, the Water Cloud Grass you asked me to find last time!" Ye Jingteng took out a jade box and handed it to Ye Jingcheng.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng's face also showed joy. Although he already had the Water Cloud Grass, the Jade-Scale Snake had already broken through and grown fins and scales.

But this means Ye Jingcheng will have another channel.

The spirit medicine he lacks are far from sufficient. His Crimson Flame Fox is about to advance to the next level, as are his Golden-Scaled Beast and Jade-Scale Snake.

Moreover, he is also searching for information about Wood Attribute Spirit Beast.

"Big brother, these are the Spirit Stone from the Water Cloud Grass!" Ye Jingcheng took out his Storage Bag and counted out about eight hundred Spirit Stone.

Although the Water Cloud Grass sold for a high price of 1,000 Spirit Stone at the auction, there was an element of price gouging involved. Its market price is probably around Spirit Stone to 750 Spirit Stone.

Ye Jingcheng offered eight hundred Spirit Stone, which was quite a lot more than expected.

"Jingcheng, this is too much. I have a way to buy it; it only costs a little over six hundred Spirit Stone!" Ye Jingteng said.

"Brother, even if you arrange things, it will cost Spirit Stone. I have absolutely no connections to buy this Water Cloud Grass!" Ye Jingcheng continued to persuade him, then took out another Jade Slip:

"Brother, I have some spirit medicine that I need to buy. If you see any, I would appreciate it if you could help me purchase one or two!"

Ye Jingteng accepted the Spirit Stone after hearing Ye Jingcheng's words, but after glancing at them, he asked with some doubt.

"Many of these are second-tier spirit medicine."

"Fourth Grandfather has been researching second-tier Pill Formula recently..." Ye Jingcheng mentioned cryptically, and Ye Jingteng didn't ask any further questions after hearing this.

After talking for a while longer, they went their separate ways.

Before leaving, Ye Jingcheng went to Ye Xingqun's courtyard again. In the latter's courtyard, he sometimes teased the Blackwood Ant and sometimes trained the Five Poison Bee.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng arrive, he waved to Ye Jingcheng again:

"Jingcheng, how's your Five Poison Bee training going? Your uncle has some more techniques to share!" With Ye Jingteng gone, Ye Xingqun's mood improved considerably.

The latter also has a strong interest in the study of Spirit Insect.

As he spoke, he patted his Spirit Beast pouch, and another eighty Five Poison Bee flew out. These eighty Five Poison Bee formed four swarms of twenty each, and each of them had a sharp stinger. They coordinated extremely well in the air.

Ye Jingcheng was also somewhat mesmerized by it.

Although his Five Poison Bee were larger than Ye Xingqun's, their coordination was far superior to Ye Jingcheng's.

The timing of releasing the poisonous fog, as well as their positioning and coordination...

"Seventh Uncle, you're truly amazing!" Ye Jingcheng exclaimed.

Ye Jingli was standing nearby, was also extremely interested. He also wanted the Five Poison Bee and listened with the same fascination.

"These poisonous bees, even though they are late-stage first-tier Demon Beast, operate in groups. Almost every battle results in casualties, so we either have to use feints or encircle them. Sometimes, we can't control them very well, so we need to train them for a while every day, even if it's just training them to collect nectar..." Ye Xingqun explained one by one.

The wealth of valuable information excited both of them.

After talking for a while, my mouth got dry.

Ye Jingcheng was about to take out Spring Welcoming Tea when he saw Ye Jingli smile with narrowed eyes.

"Jingcheng, this tea won't satisfy you. Let's drink this Green Bamboo Wine!" Ye Jingli took out a pot of wine from his Storage Bag. There was a spirit snake in the wine, which seemed to have been steeping for a long time.

Clearly, several years ago, on that occasion, Ye Jingli had inquired about Ye Xingqun's method of making medicinal wine and had also made snake wine.

Ye Xingqun glanced at Ye Jingli more than once on this point.

But that wasn't all. Ye Jingli then took out three bronze stemmed wine cups, with Spirit Patterns shimmering beneath them.

The next moment, Ye Jingcheng realized that it was actually a miniature Spirit Gathering Formation.

It's still the simplified version, but even so, it makes the spirit wine even more Spiritual Qi.

Although the amount of Spiritual Qi is not much, it is even suspected of being a waste of time and energy.

But it must be said that his sixth brother is a man of principle.

Sometimes, truly ingenious ideas are amazing.

Moreover, it must be said that after the three of them clinked glasses, the spirit wine did indeed contain even more Spiritual Qi.

After the Spirit Gathering Formation was activated, a faint mist rose up, resembling celestial wine.

The flavor of the spirit wine infused with snake, while not as rich as the bamboo Ye Xingqun Bamboo Leaf Green, is still mellow and has a powerful aftertaste.

The next moment, with a clap of Thunderclap, the rain began to patter down.

It landed in the bamboo grove and in the courtyard.

Ye Xingqun activated his Array, and the rain didn't affect him at all. In an instant, he could drink and watch the rain without any problem.

Seemingly worried that Ye Jingcheng might have other ideas, Ye Xingqun spoke again:

"I have already relayed Jing Teng's words to Third Brother, so you may drink freely today!"

Ye Xingqun took out another jar from the side.

As soon as the jar was opened, it revealed a tremendous amount of Spiritual Qi, followed by the bamboo rats that had been soaking inside.

"These are all soaked in spiritual water, along with some highly nourishing medicinal herbs, so they can be considered a semi-spiritual meal!" Ye Xingqun said.

"Most importantly, the taste is absolutely amazing!"

Ye Jingcheng didn't leave Ye Xingqun's place until very late.

Almost at the same time he Ye Jingli, his Lineage Token lit up again.

Ye Jingcheng turned and headed towards the Council Hall.

He entered the Council Hall.

Ye Jingyu was also there.

Also present were Ye Haiyi, Ye Haiyun, Ye Haiyang, and several other Clan Elder with the highest authority in the Lineage.

The atmosphere was extremely serious.

"Jingcheng is here, let's find a place to sit," Ye Xingliu said.

Ye Jingcheng also found a seat next to Ye Jingyu and sat down.

Ye Xingliu spoke seriously at this moment:

"Everyone, this time, it's our Lineage's turn to guard Jade Dragon Valley. I must go to Jade Dragon Valley, otherwise I will be disobeying the sect's orders!"

"At that time, I estimate that the Li Family and the Chen Family will lose their composure. Besides, Jade Dragon Valley will probably not be peaceful either. I may not be able to get back in time!"

"At that time, all Lineage matters will be decided by Fourth Uncle, with Third Uncle, Jingcheng, Jingyu assisting him!"

"On the Lineage mountain, there is a matter concerning my uncle's breakthrough. I hope everyone will be extremely cautious!"
