Wood Demon

The starlight softly spilled into the valley, and with the gentle evening breeze, the entire valley appeared extremely peaceful.

Unlike the Insect Chirps of Soaring Cloud Peak, this is impossible here, after all, this is Spirit Herb Garden.

If the sound of Insect Chirp is heard, the Ye Family members will become anxious.

Inside the valley, Ye Jingcheng held several Law Artifacts in his hands, and for a moment he was filled with emotion.

He never imagined that after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment, he would have more than ten second-tier Law Artifact artifacts by now.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Ye Jingcheng killed quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment.

Although he didn't kill many people in one-on-one battles, he always got priority when it came to distributing treasures.

However, of all these Law Artifacts, he could only use a few.

Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng took out all the Law Artifacts. He knew that it was better to have a few high-quality Law Artifacts than many of them.

Therefore, he planned to categorize the magical Law Artifacts he could use into one category, prepare one or two spare Law Artifacts, and sell the rest to his Lineage.

It just so happens that we have three second-tier Spirit Beasts to raise, and the Three-Color Cloud Deer is about to break through. These four are all resource-intensive gold-devouring beasts.

Furthermore, in order to catch up with the progress of the Three-Color Cloud Deer, the gap between the four phases was narrowed.

His offerings to the Three-Color Cloud Deer should be even higher.

Therefore, even as Alchemist, Ye Jingcheng faced considerable pressure.

Fortunately, his own cultivation can be nurtured by the four Spirit Beasts through the Beast-Link Mark. For example, his current cultivation speed is much faster than Ye Jingyu's.

More than ten Law Artifacts were laid out in front of Ye Jingcheng, which was quite dazzling. In the past, Ye Jingcheng would not have dared to imagine such a thing.

Several of them are slightly damaged, and the Lineage's Artifact Refiners will need to reforge them for him.

Among the Law Artifacts, he intended to keep the Law Artifact attacked Divine Sense and sound waves, such Evil Ghost Gong and the Spirit-Shocking Drum, and placed them in his personal Storage Bag.

In addition, the Blackwood Coffin, the Heavenly Wind Bag, and the Azure Cloud Ring are auxiliary Law Artifact that must also be prepared for use in the ritual at any time.

Of the Golden-Faced Silver-Ring Saber and the Crimson Crab Claw, only one needs to be kept, and Ye Jingcheng also plans to keep the Crimson Crab Claw.

Golden-Faced Silver-Ring Saber is better suited for close combat and is not suitable for him.

Even if he becomes Body Cultivator in the future, he has no intention of engaging in close combat.

For a beast tamer, being last is the right path.

Ye Jingcheng continued to look at the defensive magical Law Artifacts. The Origin-Suppressing Cauldron had already broken twice, and Ye Jingcheng didn't want to repair it anymore. He could use the newly obtained Black-Green Shield instead.

Although the Black-Green Shield has lost much of its luster, after being refined again, its power will not be much less than before.

Finally, there were the secondary magical Law Artifacts: the Green Corpse Needle, the Mystic Silver Needle, and the Talisman Treasure Corpse Spear. Ye Jingcheng carefully put these two away as well.

As for the remaining Boundless Ruler, Blood Blade, and Origin-Suppressing Cauldron, Ye Jingcheng put them all into his storage jade bracelet, intending to sell them to his Lineage upon returning to Soaring Cloud Peak.

With the Law Artifacts arranged, Ye Jingcheng once again examined the Jade Slip slips on the wooden shelf.

After reading it just once, Ye Jingcheng was speechless.

The Jade Slip slips inside were all about bedroom arts, recording matters of lovemaking and incest. No wonder they were Evil Cultivators!

Ye Jingcheng patiently read through the entire Jade Slip, but the Illusionary Eye Law Technique remained unseen.

Ye Jingcheng could only sigh; it was regrettable, but there was nothing he could do.

As for these Jade Slips, he originally intended to destroy them on the spot, but then he remembered that they contained some demonic secret techniques and furnace-making techniques, so he put them into his storage jade bracelet, intending to hand them over to his Lineage later, hoping to exchange them for some contribution points.

Ye Jingcheng also examined the spirit medicine and ores in the jade box, but few of them were of any use to him.

There were more than two thousand Spirit Stones remaining.

Ye Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief after organizing the Storage Bag.

He estimated that his magical Law Artifacts and spirit medicine materials could be exchanged for 20,000 to 30,000 contribution points.

Including his original contribution points, it would amount to forty or fifty thousand, enough to last him a long time.

Now I can focus on my cultivation.

After a night, the entire valley finally quieted down. All the spirit medicine had been planted, and the four Spirit Herb Gardens were radiant with spiritual energy, a stark contrast to the scene Ye Jingcheng had witnessed the day before.

However, the Ye Family will need to continue investing Spirit Stones.

For the next three days, the entire Cloud-Spreading Valley remained peaceful.

Contrary to expectations, no Bandit Cultivators arrived. Ye Jingcheng guessed that the news of the Ye Family's advancement to the Purple Mansion Lineage had spread through Taihang Marketplace.

Since the Li Family's territory had been annexed by the Ye Family, naturally no cultivators would dare to provoke them at this moment.

As for the Xu Family and Mo Families, since it was Taihao Master who had landed in Jade Dragon Valley at this moment, they also needed to keep a low profile.

Ye Jingcheng was happy with this arrangement and continued cultivating the Heavenly Soul Art, occasionally refining pills in his furnace. His days were peaceful and fulfilling.

On the fifth day, another Spirit Boat flew over from the Lineage.

This time, Ye Xinghan was at the top, followed by Ye Jingyu, who was basically the Lineage's Spirit Plant Master.

"Sixteenth Uncle, Jingyu!" Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu both came out.

The fact that the Lineage sent cultivators over indicates that the situation outside should be becoming clearer.

"Jingcheng, Jingyu, Seventh Brother, I'm here to transplant that thousand-year-old spirit medicine, as requested by the patriarch!" Ye Xinghan said very little, but directly stated the purpose of his trip.

Ye Jingcheng was not surprised. Taihao Master made it so clear that day. If the Ye Family still didn't understand, and continued to drag their feet on paying tribute and making payments, then they were simply ignorant.

"Sixteenth Uncle, no problem, the spirit medicine is inside!" Ye Jingyu said.

He then led a few weary travelers to the Spirit-Raising Garden.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng also learned about this from members of the Ye Family during the transplant.

The news of the Lineage's promotion to the Purple Mansion Lineage has spread, and the Li Family's ancestral mountain Cloud-Spreading Mountain, has also been occupied by the Lineage, with Ye Haiyi leading the charge.

Therefore, the Ye Family now has three openly recognized second-tier Spirit Veins.

However, it is said that several core members of the Li Family escaped, but their cultivation levels were only at the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining.

Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but sigh. For Lineage like the Li Family, they certainly had more than one or two contingency plans, so it was normal for some to escape.

Moreover, there are some Li Family cultivators in Taihang Marketplace who are also beyond the reach of the Ye Family. They now consider themselves independent Rogue Cultivators. After all, fighting is prohibited in Taihang Marketplace, and as long as the remnants of the Li Family do not leave the market, the Ye Family cannot do anything to them.

Even if they manage to get out, the Ye Family might not be able to track them down.

Moreover, the Li Family's shop had already been sold to the Xu Family ahead of time, and the Ye Family's attempt to get a share of the shop was unsuccessful.

Moreover, the Ban Li Order has become a useless treasure due to the news about the Li Family.

The Ye Family still faces considerable challenges in opening a pill shop and seizing market share.

Ye Jingcheng shook his head at this bad news.

This matter was indeed somewhat rushed. Although the Ye Family controlled Cloud-Spreading Mountain and Cloud-Spreading Valley, the market and other smaller clan mountains did not gain much benefit.

Including the tributes that need to be paid, the Ye Family may suffer losses in the short term.

Of course, the value of this Spirit Mountain and valley over ten years is immeasurable.

Ye Xinghan was also very skilled at transplanting thousand-year-old spirit medicine. He quickly transplanted two of them and then transplanted a nine-hundred-year-old Earth Cloud spirit medicine.

This time, Ye Jingyu will also be leaving to escort him.

Ye Jingcheng will remain here to temporarily guard Cloud-Spreading Valley.

"Jingcheng, the Blood Pact failed last time. The Lineage found a Wood Demon in Cloud-Spreading Mountain. If you encounter Wood Demon in the future, be careful that they don't pretend that the Blood Pact has been completed and then take the opportunity to escape!" Before leaving, Ye Xinghan also transmitted his voice to Ye Jingcheng.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng was also taken aback. Several years ago, Ye Xinghan had confidently claimed that the Blood Pact he had researched could target Spirit Plant Wood Demons, and had even given him a copy.

It now appears that it was a failure.

But Ye Jingcheng felt a surge of excitement when he thought of this.

Other cultivators might fail, but he might succeed; he has Treasure Book.

Unlike other resource-consuming Spirit Beasts, the Spirit Plant Wood Demon is economical; conversely, it can bring Spirit Stones or spirit fruits to cultivators.

However, he had mentioned before that this place was suitable for his cultivation, but he never expected that his Lineage would arrange for him to guard this place.

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have said it!
