Juehe Valley
As the auction faded away, the market, which had been bustling for a few days, gradually returned to calm.
Even the sky began to drizzle, and deep within the bamboo forest, many bamboo shoots had sprung up without anyone noticing.
However, the alleys and restaurants still become topics of conversation for a few Rogue Cultivator and Lineage cultivators.
The crowd couldn't help but suspect who had bought the wine recipe.
After all, only the Xu Family and Mo Family could quietly disappear from the market.
In particular, the Mo Family also runs a restaurant and catering business, which has led to a significant improvement in the business of Mo Clan Restaurant recently.
Many cultivators are looking forward to the Supreme Mystery Spirit Wine, but of course, even if it were to be produced, they wouldn't be able to afford it.
But that doesn't diminish their expectations.
It was destined to be a futile effort.
Inside the small courtyard of the Ye Family shop, Ye Jingcheng raised his hand, and the lid of the three-legged Three Thousand Harmony Furnace flew up.
Inside, ten Spirit Nurturing Pills were revealed, two of which had pill patterns, greatly increasing their value, while the remaining eight were covered with spiritual fragrance.
"This second-tier Pill Furnace is indeed far superior to the Azure Elephant Furnace!" Ye Jingcheng collected nine of the alchemy pills, then took out one and gave it to the Crimson Flame Fox beside him, with a slight sigh.
The Crimson Flame Fox nodded in a human-like manner and let out two chirps, indicating that it also agreed.
Ye Jingcheng continued wiping the furnace walls, and after summarizing his findings, he finally left the courtyard.
He has been studying the alchemy Pill Furnace and practicing its cultivation over the past few days, which is the result of his return from Sand Cloud Mountain.
Only by constantly nurturing the furnace can one understand the Pill Furnace. In fact, he has already achieved perfect furnace nurturing once in three attempts.
Besides familiarizing itself with the Pill Furnace, the Golden-Scaled Beast also consumed Demon Beast Core, preparing for a breakthrough.
Once the Golden-Scaled Beast successfully breaks through, and he then ascends to the Three-Color Cloud Deer Beast Communion, he might be able to reach the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage very quickly.
This made Ye Jingcheng quite excited.
Leaving the courtyard and entering the inner courtyard, both courtyards still housed many Spirit Beasts. In recent days, some rather strong Spirit Beast Cubs have begun to appear among these Spirit Beasts, showing significant improvement compared to before.
This is another major advantage that allows the Ye Family to restrain the Li Family.
This is also a trend that the Ye Family is gradually showing.
Ye Jingcheng estimated that Ye Haicheng's breakthrough should be imminent.
Almost at the same time that Ye Jingcheng opened his door, Ye Xinghe also walked out from the side.
"Uncle!" Ye Jingcheng cupped his hands in greeting, and Ye Xinghe responded with a smile.
"Jingcheng, in the past three days, we have received another one hundred Ban Li Order, which is the best coverage we have ever received. Moreover, three people have met the requirements for fifty Ban Li Order and need to refine spirit pills!"
"As for the Li Family, their place is now deserted; even their shop next to the Xu Family's is hardly visited."
Ye Xinghe was overjoyed. Although he had looked down on the Li Family, his old rivals, he had never had the chance to teach them a lesson.
There are many things to consider in the Ye Family, so he is naturally happy to see them get a good beating now.
"However, here's a Pill Formula for you to take a look at." Ye Xinghe took out three Jade Slip.
Ye Jingcheng took them one by one and examined them by pressing them to his forehead.
Two of them are relatively common First-Tier Superior-Grade Pill Formula. The Ye Family still has one, which is the Azure Water Pill, and the other is First-Tier Superior-Grade Body Tempering Pill.
Ye Jingcheng was delighted with the Pill Formula that followed.
In the future, he could not only consume some himself to enhance his physical strength, but it would also be a good choice to give some to his four Spirit Beasts.
After all, he would definitely be the safest during a magical duel.
Although the four Spirit Beasts could be saved by the Treasure Book Treasure Radiance, if their injuries were fatal, they wouldn't be able to wait for him to come and save them.
The last Pill Formula is a second-tier Bloodrage Pill.
This second-tier Bloodrage Pill has only one effect: to temporarily increase the physical strength and explosive power of a cultivator or Spirit Beast.
However, the aftereffects are severe, requiring at least three months of weakness, making it the most potent elixir, somewhat similar to the Secret Method used by the Mad Corpse Twin Fiends last time.
Moreover, and most importantly, there is only half of the Pill Formula.
Half of them are still missing.
"The cultivator who made the Bloodthirsty Pill recipe is the same rogue cultivator who sold the wine recipe. He even arranged to make the deal in Juehe Valley, north of Taihang Market!" Ye Xinghe's next sentence finally moved Ye Jingcheng.
"It doesn't seem like someone from the Li Family, but it could very well be someone from another Lineage!" Ye Xinghe said.
The Ye Family's Ban Li Order is that they must not discuss it with the Li Family, nor buy the Li Family's elixirs.
Other restrictions are minimal, so the chances of it being leaked are not small.
Even if the Li Family finds out, once the Ban Li Order's influence spreads, their Li Family Rogue Cultivator Taihang Commandery will have already shrunk by more than half.
Unless they come up with something similar.
But even if they came up with similar ideas, they couldn't do anything to the Ye Family, because the Ye Family's main business was still the breeding of Spirit Beast Spirit Beast Cubs.
This is something the Li Family cannot do or replicate.
The only thing they could do was kill Ye Jingcheng.
"I'll make a copy of this half of the Jade Slip and then send it to that cultivator. Either he comes to the market to trade, or we won't do this business. My Ye Family only has one Alchemist, and we can't do without the market!" Ye Jingcheng refused directly.
Ye Xinghe nodded in agreement; he also liked Ye Jingcheng's decision.
Although Ye Jingcheng has reached the Foundation Establishment and possesses two second-tier Spirit Beast, as well as Law Artifact Talisman Treasure, this world doesn't allow for situations where someone schemes against you without also planning your next move.
Any trap will definitely exist in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
At this time, the other Lineage dared not make a move, or at least not openly dared not make a move against Ye Jingcheng.
It's perfectly normal for them to act secretly in the name of the Li Family.
Even the Chu Family wouldn't let the opportunity pass them by.
Taihang Commandery has nearly thirty counties and towns, and its territory is definitely not small, but when divided among six Lineage, it becomes much smaller. For example, the Ye Family currently only controls four counties and towns.
As for copying the Jade Slip, Ye Jingcheng had been studying and deducing Pill Formula formulas for a long time, so it was a good opportunity to practice deducing Pill Formula.
Ye Jingcheng would not honestly accept Pill Formula as its original form, nor would he copy or borrow it, even if it was intended to scheme against a cultivator.
That's too great; he couldn't do it.
"Okay, it's decided then!" Ye Xinghe nodded and went to make the arrangements.
Two copies of the first-tier Jade Slip were also made. In fact, many of the Pill Formula provided by Rogue Cultivator were refined by Ye Jingyun and Ye Haiyun.
Ye Jingcheng refined very few.
Unless it's a second-tier elixir, Ye Jingcheng refine it, as that wouldn't hinder his own cultivation.
And life returned to normal.
Ye Jingcheng continued to study Pill Formula and cultivate, occasionally drinking spiritual tea and training the Jade-Scale Snake, living a rather comfortable life.
However, the Li Family suffered greatly, and through their Lineage, they put pressure on the sect.
Some sect cultivators came to inquire, but the Ye Family stated publicly that although Ye Jingcheng's Spirit Root was a four- Spirit Root, it was extremely pure, and his comprehension was excellent. In addition, with the Lineage's resources being allocated to him, he was able to cultivate slightly faster.
After having tea with the sect's cultivators and giving them a small snow fox, the cultivator leisurely returned to his sect.
Ye Jingcheng wanted to ask Ye Jingteng, but learned that the other party had already announced that he was in seclusion.
This surprised Ye Jingcheng, since the other party had only just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Early Stage and should have been focusing on consolidating his cultivation, so there was no need for him to go into seclusion.
Ten days later, many Li Family cultivators appeared at the street stalls, selling elixirs.
This scene did salvage the situation somewhat, but how could the prices at the street stalls compare to those in the shops?
Ye Jingcheng became more relaxed, and in his spare time, he would even tease the Spirit Beast in the inner courtyard.
However, at that moment, Ye Xinghe walked in with a gloomy face.
