Mysterious Spirit Map (Thanks to reportSM for the 5,000-coin tip)

The Heavenly Corpse Token is about a foot long. The front features a pattern of a heavenly corpse hovering in the air, while the back bears the words "Heavenly Corpse".

The patterns are so lifelike, they look just like real flying celestial corpses.

The writing itself is powerful and resonant, making the reader feel as if they are immersed in every stroke of the brush.

Moreover, when the Heavenly Corpse Token was held in the palm of the hand, it only felt icy cold, and when Spiritual Qi was channeled into it, there was no change whatsoever.

Ye Jingcheng knew perfectly well that this meant the green-haired cultivator was very likely a disciple of the Heavenly Corpse Sect.

However, due to an accident, his physical body was damaged and transferred to his own reanimated corpse.

Ye Jingcheng subconsciously took out his Lineage's token and compared it with the Heavenly Corpse Token.

After comparing them, he quickly put them away.

All I can say is that the size is accurate.

Currently, the Lineage is only a Purple Mansion Lineage and cannot be compared with a Nascent Soul Grand Sect.

The foundation of such a powerful sect was beyond their comprehension, so being under the Taiyi Sect's control, the Ye Family needed to keep a low profile.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Jingcheng put the token away again.

He then used his Spirit Flame to heat the spiritual tea again, making the aroma even stronger.

I felt much more at ease.

He then examined the box again. When he opened it, he found thirty mid-grade Spirit Stone and one thousand low-grade Spirit Stone inside, all radiating an astonishing Spiritual Qi.

Moreover, Spirit Stone are usually polished into rhombus shapes after being mined, making them look colorful.

Now, piled up in a box, it's even more dazzling.

He felt as content as an ordinary person who had received a box of gold bars.

Taking into account the exchange rate for mid-grade Spirit Stone, that's four thousand one hundred low-grade Spirit Stone.

He initially thought that the Spirit Stone of the Heavenly Corpse Sect cultivators should all be in the Storage Bag of Heaven Fiend and Earth Fiend, so that if something happened, he could protect himself and not be suspected.

It now appears that much of its original form has been preserved.

Or rather, these cultivators from the Heavenly Corpse Sect were truly wealthy.

Inside the box, besides the Spirit Stone, there was also a Spirit Diagram.

This Spirit Diagram is extremely similar to many Spirit Diagram that Ye Jingcheng has seen in the market.

However, almost 90% of the paintings in the market were just randomly drawn, intended for use as Rogue Cultivator for newcomers to the market.

There's also a 0.9 level, which is a trap prepared by Evil Cultivator for you to fall into.

The fact that this Spirit Diagram was placed in this box shows that it was highly valued, so it's quite possible that it's genuine.

Ye Jingcheng picked up the Spirit Diagram and examined it carefully. He then recalled the map of the entire Yan Kingdom and could only shake his head in the end. He had never been to this place.

It is neither the Taihang, Taiyi Sect, and Taiqing Three Counties of the Green River Sect, nor the Green River Four Prefectures of the Qinghe Sect.

However, he could show it to the Clan Elder of the Lineage; they have been to many places and have broad experience, so they are definitely more experienced than him.

Ye Jingcheng put the box away, and then looked at the coffins one last time.

Out of wishful thinking, Ye Jingcheng opened the coffin lid anyway.

The coffin lid was open, revealing corpses soaking in the corpse-refining liquid.

These corpses hadn't been refined into fully-fledged corpses yet, but each one was incredibly cold, seemingly having undergone a significant transformation.

Teeth and claws had grown out, and a layer of corpse hair had emerged.

But at this level, they are at most considered mortal corpses. Any ordinary Qi Refining cultivator could burn a whole group of these refined corpses to death with a small flame.

Ye Jingcheng closed the coffin lid and then inspected the remaining coffin pieces again.

Without exception, this was true for all of them.

Some of them were of higher intensity and were clearly Body Cultivator, but because they hadn't been fully mastered, they weren't worth Spirit Stone.

Although I had suspected it, I was still somewhat disappointed, even if it was just a finished product of corpse refining.

Ye Jingcheng took out a Storage Bag and carefully packed the coffins inside, waiting to hand them over to his Lineage for disposal.

Then he slipped the storage jade bracelet onto his left wrist and covered it with his Daoist robe.

Although he now has a larger jade bracelet for storage, he still prefers to keep a low profile and usually uses the Storage Bag that hangs on his waist.

Only when storing important treasures or cultivation materials should they be placed in the storage jade bracelet.

After examining the storage jade bracelet, Ye Jingcheng took out two more items.

One of them was Spirit Talisman about a foot long, on which was engraved a Corpse Spear.

The Corpse Spear was incredibly lifelike, radiating Spiritual Qi; it was indeed that Talisman Treasure.

The Talisman Treasure's spiritual power has already been largely used up, but the remaining power is enough to serve as his trump card.

The biggest drawback of Talisman Treasure is their long casting time. Many Talisman Treasure either hide inside Array or secretly cast them.

Just like with this corpse refining technique, they can place their hands behind their backs and Hand Seals, making them difficult to detect in complex situations.

After all, activating Talisman Treasure is similar to activating an ordinary Spirit Talisman.

Ye Jingcheng gently rubbed the Talisman Treasure again, then placed it into the Talisman Treasure box and sealed it to prevent it from losing its power before carefully putting it into his storage jade bracelet.

Besides the Talisman Treasure, another corpse needle appeared in his hand.

This corpse needle is extremely long and slender, somewhat similar to corpse hair, but it is covered with a bluish light and is also a powerful second-tier low-grade magic Law Artifact.

Even the Origin-Suppressing Cauldron could be pierced, demonstrating its Xiao Ke penetrating power.

Moreover, the combination of the green-haired corpse and the corpse hair was truly seamless.

Ye Jingcheng carefully put away the Green Corpse Needle, intending to refine them as soon as he had time.

For cultivators who have already Foundation Establishment, using a first-tier Law Artifact is somewhat outdated.

Having done all this, he left the room and headed towards the Council Hall.

Although he was still injured, he still needed to report the situation to his Lineage.

Furthermore, according to Lineage rules, he would also be entitled to a share of the spoils from the Heaven Fiend Earth Fiend battles.

There have been many cultivators in the Council Hall these past few days. The Lineage's clan mountain has been attacked, and there are many things to deal with.

When Ye Jingcheng arrived, many people had already greeted him.

They greeted me very warmly.

Although he used to be Alchemist, he was ultimately the kind of cultivator in the Ye Family who focused on his own cultivation, so apart from the elders, the younger generation generally didn't think much of him.

But now that he has reached the Foundation Establishment, the way these people look at him and the way they speak are somewhat different from before.

But Ye Jingcheng understood that this was simply how the world was.

He would not look down on these clansmen. The Ye Family admires the strong, but there would never be anyone who bullies the weak.

Perhaps it's because there are several powerful figures above him in the Lineage, or perhaps the Lineage has a good tradition of passing down its teachings, but it's still something Ye Jingcheng is happy to see.

Ye Jingcheng continued to input the Spirit Talisman, and only after receiving approval did he step into the main hall.

Inside the main hall, Ye Haiyun and Ye Haiyi were still discussing some matters.

"Third Grandfather, Fourth Grandfather!"

"Jingcheng, you're here. Are you alright?" Ye Haiyun asked when she saw Ye Jingcheng arrive.

Although Ye Haiyi didn't say anything, his eyes were full of concern.

Ye Jingcheng felt a warmth in his heart.

"It's nothing. I came here to hand over some treasures, and this time, I've had an unexpected gain!"

Ye Jingcheng took out a Jade Slip, and then a token.

Upon seeing the token, their expressions changed.

"Where did this token come from?"

"Reporting to Third Grandfather, this was found on that corpse, and so was the Secret Method!" Ye Jingcheng continued, recounting the Jade Slip.

He knew what they were worried about.

After Ye Jingcheng's explanation, Ye Haiyun and Ye Haiyi also quickly began to look at the Jade Slip.

After reading the Jade Slip, the two relaxed and soon showed great joy.

"Jingcheng, you've done another great job!"

"With this Secret Method, you can gain at least 20,000 contribution points in the Lineage, and that's a conservative estimate!"

"The only pity is that your Secret Method isn't complete; otherwise, 200,000 contribution points would be enough!" Ye Haiyun said, then added with some regret.

Such Secret Method, if complete, would definitely be worthy of being called an Earth-rank Secret Method. After all, the effect of condensing a Heavenly Soul is enough to increase the probability of breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

Of course, even though it's incomplete now, it can still be considered a high-grade Xuan-level Secret Method.

Therefore, the claim that he made contributions is not unfounded.

On the contrary, that's still an understatement.

After all, this was the Lineage's acquisition price.

There would definitely be more than that if placed in the market.

"I can't judge the exact amount involved. I'll give you an assessment when the patriarch returns. He's on his way to Taichang Market now!"

"If the Chen Family and Li Family don't give our Ye Family an explanation for the attack on this clan mountain, they will definitely take it to the Taiyi Sect!" Ye Haiyun said.

"It's alright, Fourth Grandfather. I came here because I also wanted to ask about this!" Ye Jingcheng wasn't in a hurry to exchange the Secret Method for contribution points.

So he took out the Spirit Diagram and showed it to Ye Haiyun and Ye Haiyi.

After looking at each other for a long time, they finally shook their heads.

"Let's wait until your third uncle comes back to take a look, or until your great-grandfather breaks through!" Ye Haiyun said, handing the Spirit Diagram to Ye Jingcheng again.

Ye Jingcheng nodded and carefully put away the Spirit Diagram.

He was only trying his luck, knowing that finding treasures and inheritance cave abode was something that could only be done by chance.

After all, in this Cultivation World, cultivators can generally live for hundreds or thousands of years.

Who doesn't have one or two successors, or beloved relatives and friends?

When he truly passes away, all his treasures will be passed down to him.

There aren't that many cave abode to find the destined person.

"By the way, Jingcheng, these are the treasures we used to slay the Mad Corpse Twin Fiends. This Blackwood Coffin and the Blood Blade are for you!" Ye Haiyun handed the two second-tier Law Artifact to Ye Jingcheng.

The first one was Blackwood Coffin. This Blackwood Coffin didn't receive any spiritual light; it was just like a wooden plaque.

Of course, it's fortunate that this is the case; otherwise, carrying a coffin while fighting other cultivators would not only be somewhat disgraceful but also inconvenient.

"Thank you so much, Fourth Grandfather, Third Grandfather!" Ye Jingcheng waved his hands repeatedly in thanks.

He felt that the Lineage had been kind to him by giving him Blackwood Coffin, and now that he had also received a first or second-tier Law Artifact, he was naturally even more delighted.

Including the second-tier Boundless Ruler, the second-tier Green Corpse Needle, and the Origin-Suppressing Cauldron, he now possesses five second-tier Law Artifact.

Among them, the second-tier mid-grade magic Law Artifact Boundless Ruler and the Blackwood Coffin.

This doesn't even include his Talisman Treasure!

This is even richer than a veteran Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Of course, his acquisition process was somewhat risky.

Moreover, his Origin-Suppressing Cauldron was mostly pierced by the Green Corpse Needle and needed to be repaired.

Even so, they were no less capable than the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the sect.

"By the way, after you break through to the Foundation Establishment, you can choose to relocate your Lineage's courtyard, receive more spirit fields and Array, and issue Lineage missions. In addition, you can also update your Lineage's salary and benefits."
