A Mighty Hand, Beast Tide
For most Alchemist, even a second-tier Alchemist would find it difficult to achieve a 90% success rate in refining first-tier spirit pills.
To obtain twelve pills, one must dedicate oneself to mastering this elixir and practice diligently; only then is there any possibility.
Not to mention that Xu Wencheng refined a total of thirteen of them.
The most terrifying thing is that nine of them have cinnabar patterns.
The terrifying number of pills produced and their quality placed an extreme test on the Alchemist's Pill Furnace, Spirit Flame, Divine Sense, and Dao of Alchemy experience.
Therefore, everyone couldn't help but look at Ye Jingcheng's Array.
Without exception, they all felt that the Ye Family had no chance of winning.
Moreover, Ye Jingcheng still hadn't dispelled the Array at this moment, indicating that his speed was inferior to Xu Wencheng's.
However, at that moment, the spiritual light disappeared, and the Array was dispelled.
Inside, Ye Jingcheng gently wiped the Pill Furnace clean, put it away, and looked completely satisfied.
In his hand, there were two pill bottles, both of which were now completely full.
Only then did everyone realize that Ye Jingcheng wasn't actually slower than Xu Wencheng; rather, the latter had cleaned the Pill Furnace and even nurtured Pill Furnace once more.
To prevent the temperature from dropping drastically after overheating, which could affect the subsequent quality of the Pill Furnace.
To ordinary cultivators, this might not seem like much, but to Alchemist, it's clear that Xu Wencheng's eagerness to show off has led him astray.
"May I ask, Fellow Daoist Ye, how many pills have you refined?" Xu Wencheng's expression remained unchanged despite Ye Jingcheng's reaction.
In his view, he possessed a second-tier Spirit Flame, which was superior to the natal Spirit Flame or Beast Fire of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Therefore, he was not worried at all that Ye Jingcheng would surpass him.
He was usually in charge of the Azure Spirit Pill for the Xu Family's shop, and he had enough confidence in the Pill Formula.
"Eighteen pills, nine pill patterns, eight Pill Fragrance, and one ordinary spirit pill. I wonder if this is enough to win!" Ye Jingcheng opened the two pill bottles, allowing all the cultivators to examine them with their Divine Sense.
This scene caused everyone to gasp in shock.
Xu Wencheng could hardly believe it.
But the elixir was completely within his sight.
"Impossible, you must be faking it. No one could refine so many!" Xu Wencheng shook his head directly.
He also wanted to snatch the pill bottle to examine it, but Ye Jingcheng casually conjured a Profound Cold Ice Shield and placed it in front of the two of them.
The atmosphere, however, became slightly tense.
Ye Jingcheng waved his hand, and the three pill bottles fell into the air for Mingyuan to examine.
Master Mingyuan is a third-tier Alchemist of the Taiyi Sect, so he is naturally impartial.
"Indeed, there are eighteen. Young friend Ye, you are practicing dual cultivation with one mind!" Mingyuan spoke up, revealing the truth.
Then everyone suddenly realized what was going on.
"Indeed, I have had a more prominent Divine Sense since childhood!" Ye Jingcheng nodded.
He naturally wouldn't admit that he used the Dual-Partition Alchemy Method; that method should be a unique technique of the Ye Family.
The reason for wiping the Pill Furnace before setting up the Array was to prevent others from seeing it.
After all, the Ye Family had previously used the Snake-Scent Pill to slander the Li Family.
As for controlling two Pill Furnace, it is not impossible for one person to do so, provided they have sufficient Divine Sense.
"How could you refine two batches of pills at the same time!" Xu Wencheng was immediately furious.
"Get out of the way!" Xu Wenchang shouted angrily.
This angry shout finally calmed Xu Wencheng down.
His back was covered in cold sweat.
He only now realized that this was Ye Haicheng's Purple Mansion Conference, and this alchemy competition was just an ordinary alchemy contest.
There were no stakes, and no concept of winning or losing.
His outburst now makes the Xu Family appear petty, and it will only make the higher-ups dislike them even more.
"Senior Ye, it was my rudeness!" Xu Wenchang quickly bowed and apologized.
These words were like a knife to their hearts.
This concession may mean giving up the future market for Dao of Alchemy.
In this contest, Xu Wencheng lost completely.
The Ye Family emerged as the clear winners.
He glanced around and noticed that many of the Rogue Cultivator were looking at them differently. Although no one was whispering or underestimating them, their expressions through Divine Sense communication were quite different.
"Alright, thank you all for your auspicious gifts for my ceremony. Today, my Ye Family has just become Purple Mansion Lineage, and everyone's joy is the most important thing. Next, the Ye Family will also show you our Spirit Beast Valley, and before long, our Ye Family will also open the Ye Family Restaurant!"
"At the same time, regarding the rumors circulating that there are extraordinary treasures on Lingyun Peak of the Ye family, everyone is welcome to take a look. Of course, if anyone tries to sneak into Lingyun Peak again, don't blame the Ye family for being impolite!"
These words shocked everyone.
Ye Haicheng's words carried a lot of information.
Opening a restaurant, should we be completely honest with each other?
Any one of them would be enough to shock all the cultivators in Taihang Commandery.
The Mo Family, in particular, had previously employed numerous methods to deal with the Ye Family, specifically to prevent the Ye Family from opening a restaurant.
Under normal circumstances, they would naturally stop it.
But unfortunately, Mo Wenchen wasn't there at the moment, and Xu Wenchang had just suffered a defeat. If Mo Hongyuan were to step forward, one could imagine the pressure he would face from those senior figures.
Many cultivators had heard the rumors that there were treasures on the Ye Family Mountain.
They never expected that the Ye Family would be able to be seen by everyone today.
Of course, if it's viewed abruptly, it's also highly suspicious.
But the Ye Family is showcasing the Spirit Beast Valley and the many Spirit Beast within.
This is to demonstrate the Ye Family's determination to open a restaurant and prepare various spiritual dishes.
As for the taste of the spiritual food, everyone had already tasted it at the start of the banquet.
After Ye Haicheng finished speaking, without waiting for everyone's reaction, he led Taihao Master and the other Lineage cultivators towards the Spirit Beast Valley on the mountain.
"Everyone, in order to prevent the Spirit Beast from acting strangely, Soaring Cloud Peak will activate the Array next. This is also to prevent some of the Demon Beast from escaping!" Ye Haicheng continued.
No one thought much of this and continued looking towards the Spirit Beast Valley.
The Ye Family's Spirit Beast Valley is vast, occupying almost half of the mountain peak.
Moreover, everyone then realized that the Ye Family's mountain was much larger than the usual clan mountains.
Therefore, the area of Ling Valley is also extremely large.
There are many Spirit Beast inside, including herds of Dense Forest Pig and Sand Antelope Beast, which are Spirit Beast of the spirit food category.
There are also ferocious Spirit Beast such as the Azure Cloud Wolf and the Mottled Cloud Tiger.
In addition, there are various cubs of Demon Beast.
The environment of the Spirit Beast Valley is also extremely varied, employing multiple Array to maintain its diversity.
Many cultivators who saw this were immediately intrigued.
This is especially true for Lineage who want to raise Spirit Beast.
Several venerable monks glanced at it, then lost interest and looked at the spirit lake on Soaring Cloud Peak, but they couldn't discern anything there either.
But then they followed the Ye Family, touring and walking around.
They had wanted to see Soaring Cloud Peak for a long time, but now that the Ye Family was showing it to them, they couldn't really do anything about it. After taking one look, they said they had to leave.
The Xu Family and Mo Family families also sensed something was amiss, wondering what the Ye Family was up to.
Of course, Mo Hongyuan was extremely nervous this time.
Their concerns are valid.
The Ye Family has quietly gathered so many Spirit Beasts; when they open a restaurant, it will have the greatest impact on the Mo Clan Restaurant.
He didn't believe the Ye Family's spiritual meals were subpar.
The Xu Family, however, were somewhat gloating at this moment.
The Mo Family, Green Willow Mountain.
As the sun rose high in the sky, Mo Liuming landed under a huge weeping willow.
For him, this moment was anything but peaceful.
He had rushed back from the Taihang Mountain Range these past few days, so he was naturally extremely nervous.
Therefore, he would come to the willow tree every day to gaze at the Taihang Mountain Range.
Only after confirming that everything is alright will they return to their own courtyard.
He didn't dare to immediately form Blood Pact with the Spirit Beast egg, and he also lied to his Lineage about Mo Liuyi.
However, the Lineage was not too surprised that their members had an accident in the Taihang Mountain Range, since they were not core disciples of the Mo Family.
This put his mind at ease.
The warm willow branches, caressed by a gentle breeze, fell onto his face, and the urge to Blood-Drip Recognition reached its peak.
He rushed out towards his own courtyard.
Then they took out the Easter egg and began establishing the Blood Pact.
The aura emanating from this Easter egg seemed to have grown even stronger at this moment; even Mo Liuming felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing its intense Spiritual Qi.
This feeling was something he had never experienced before.
This drove him even more insane.
With this spirit egg, once it recognizes its master, not even the entire Lineage can take it away. Even if he leaves the Lineage, he feels he has a great future ahead of him.
Of course, before leaving the Lineage, he should make full use of the Lineage's resources to raise this Spirit Beast.
Blood Pact Array are not uncommon in the Cultivation World, and Mo Liuming quickly established his own blood pact.
However, the blood array had not yet covered the Easter egg.
Then, a violent burst of blood-red light appeared on the Easter egg.
The blood-red light was so dazzling that it propelled Mo Liuming several feet away.
A terrifying beastly aura descended, causing Mo Liuming's body to instantly collapse to the ground.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that a huge Three-Eyed Demon Bird had appeared above the blood egg.
This Three-Eyed Demon Bird is truly terrifying.
Even if Mo Liuming used his Spiritual Qi, he couldn't stop it.
At that very moment, an even greater spiritual power descended, and Mo Wenchen, the patriarch of the Mo Family, appeared behind him without anyone noticing.
"Ancestor, I..." Mo Liuming tried to speak.
But he soon discovered that he could no longer make a sound.
His gaze quickly dimmed.
Mo Wenchen waved his sleeve, and countless rays of light instantly enveloped the Easter egg.
"Damn it, who is it?!" However, the spiritual light did not immediately subside; instead, it broke through his restraints.
It flew towards the sky, like a sun, dazzlingly bright.
At the same time, Mo Wenchen also smelled a large amount of Snake-Scent Pill and Beast-Luring Pills.
At that moment, his heart was filled with icy coldness.
He felt a giant hand descending upon Green Willow Mountain, enveloping everything and gradually closing in.
It made him feel somewhat suffocated.
At the end of the Taihang Mountain Range, countless crimson clouds suddenly appeared.
The crimson glow there was constantly magnified.
However, cultivators in the Purple Mansion realm could clearly see that a large number of demonic birds had flown over there.
That was the clan of the Three-Eyed Demon King, a powerful force in the Taihang Mountain Range.
At the end of the mountain range, many Demon Beasts were also attacking this area.
Clearly, Beast Tide has arrived!
And without any warning.
Mo Wenchen's Divine Sense headed towards their Lineage's Ancestral Shrine, where a large number of Jade Slip were placed.
However, the cultivator responsible for guarding the Jade Slip had already collapsed at the Ancestral Shrine.
Blood was flowing from his eyes, and tiny insects could be seen inside them!
As for the Jade Slip, many of Jade Slip had already been broken.
The Beast Tide had clearly been going on for a long time, but no one noticed anything unusual about the Ancestral Shrine, and no one came to report it!
