Image-Recording Mirror

The night was cool and still, bathed in moonlight.

A gentle breeze was blowing in the courtyard.

It seems to announce that Grain Rain is about to pass and Summer Solstice is just around the corner.

The peach blossoms in the yard have mostly faded, leaving a carpet of fallen petals. Some have already been buried in the soil due to the previous rain, while others have just fallen, their vibrant colors a lovely sight.

It does indeed prove the saying, "Turning into spring mud to better protect the flowers."

On the two peach trees, some peach nodes can already be seen.

However, that first-grade mid-level peach tree had more than thirty peach segments, while the Wood Demon's spirit peach tree only had a mere five peach segments.

In comparison, the difference is simply too great. You must know that a mid-grade first-level peach tree has definitely been suppressed, and its absorption of Spiritual Qi is far less than that of Wood Demon.

If Ye Jingcheng hadn't signed Soul Pact with the Peachwood Demon, Ye Jingcheng would have suspected that the Wood Demon was slacking off.

After all, he had also invested a considerable amount of Treasure Radiance.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng, who had just returned from the Spirit Lake, sat at a stone table. Beside him, a pot of Spring Welcoming Tea was brewed, and a large amount of spiritual food had been prepared.

Among these spiritual dishes are a whole Azure Cloud Wolf, which the Jade-Scale Snake likes; the Dense Forest Pig, which the Crimson Flame Fox likes; and the Red-Node Fish, which the Golden-Scaled Beast likes.

These were all obtained when he passed by the Treasure Pavilion.

After all, the three beasts had gone out to fight alone, which was indeed hard work. They had also killed two Foundation Establishment, obtained two Storage Bag, and received praise from several Clan Elders of the Ye Family.

This time, he also planned to treat them well.

In addition to the spiritual food, he also exchanged it for half a catty of Floating Cloud Tea.

Of course, Floating Cloud Tea was for cultivation; he usually drank Spring Welcoming Tea.

For Ye Jingcheng, cultivation still requires a balance of intensity and relaxation, and spiritual food and tea are good ways to find solace.

Beside the table, all four Spirit Beasts were present, with the Crimson Flame Fox, its fur a deep red, possessing the strongest aura, being the first to break through to the second tier.

At this moment, it was closest to Ye Jingcheng and quite dependent on Ye Jingcheng. Its two tails swayed from side to side, occasionally letting out a soft whistle, as if asking Ye Jingcheng if he wanted it to be lit.

Next came the Jade-Scale Snake, which seemed very hungry at this moment. It watched Ye Jingcheng prepare the spiritual meal, its tongue constantly sticking out, as if it wanted to tell Ye Jingcheng something.

Actually, it doesn't need to go through all that trouble to cook it.

Its appetite is enough to swallow two or three!

The Golden-Scaled Beast seemed eager to try it out, but it didn't like the spiritual food; it was more eager for Ye Jingcheng to give it pills.

It's best to give it a few more, so that it surpasses the power of that evil snake and that Red Fox.

Even the Three-Color Cloud Deer was calling out softly at this moment.

As a second-tier Alchemist, Ye Jingcheng's preparation of spiritual dishes was quite skillful, achieving at least a 70% success rate, if not perfect.

Soon, a fragrant aroma filled the air, and Ye Jingcheng took out two more pills: a second-tier Fire Heart Pill, a second-tier Purplewood Pill, a second-tier Azure Water Pill, and a second-tier Body Tempering Pill.

Ye Jingcheng didn't know how to refine second-tier Earth Attribute spirit pills yet, but fortunately, he obtained an extra Pill Formula a Body Tempering Pill when the Ban Li Order was issued in Taihang Marketplace.

For the Golden-Scaled Beast, improving its physical body is also a way to improve its strength.

To be honest, Ye Jingcheng also had part of the Pill Formula for the second-tier Bloodrage Pill, but he hadn't figured it out yet. He had already given it to Ye Xuefu of Sandcloud Hide.

Only after he had thoroughly researched and completed the task could Ye Jingcheng reap the benefits.

After settling the Spirit Beast, Ye Jingcheng infused each of them with Treasure Radiance to increase their absorption of spiritual energy.

This way, the Spirit Beast could cultivate faster, and Ye Jingcheng himself would also progress faster.

Ye Jingcheng turned around and began to drink the spiritual tea on his own.

But all that could be seen was the shadowy figure of the Wood Demon standing to the side, watching it expectantly.

It also wants the Treasure Radiance.

Ye Jingcheng glanced at the five peaches on the tree that were still only at the spirit stage, then took out some spirit water and poured it onto the Peachwood wood body of the Wood Demon. He also infused it with some Treasure Radiance and buried a mid-grade Wood Attribute Spirit Stone.

Only then did he return to the table, finish the last sip of tea, and feel a surge of pleasure welling up within him.

Enjoying the moon and peach blossoms, teasing animals and playing with mice—it's quite interesting.

Ye Jingcheng snapped his fingers, summoning the Jade Ring Rat back from the spirit field, making the moonlit night even more lively.

While the beasts were enjoying themselves, Ye Jingcheng took out two more Storage Bag.

Ye Jingcheng felt embarrassed to directly take out his Storage Bag and examine it from the elders.

Now that they were in their own yard, they could finally relax and check things out.

Both Storage Bag were quite large and rather ornate, suggesting that the Mo Family was living better in the Eastern Sea than in Taihang Commandery.

Ye Jingcheng opened the first Storage Bag, and found that its space was about the size of a small wooden house.

There were four huge chests inside.

All the treasures and Spirit Stone were also placed in the box.

Ye Jingcheng initially thought the box was an ordinary object, but after taking a look, he realized that the box was made entirely of evergreen wood.

This evergreen wood belongs to the first-tier mid-grade spiritual wood, and it is famous for its abundant Spiritual Qi.

Treasures made from this spirit wood have always been intended for nourishment.

This is far more extravagant than a wooden frame.

The first box contained elixirs and Spirit Talisman.

Ye Jingcheng glanced at it and recognized most of the elixirs and Spirit Talisman inside, but there were still quite a few that he didn't recognize.

This is clearly a difference between two cultivation regions.

He found two bottles of second-tier spirit pills. One bottle contained the familiar Purplewood Pill, while the other contained a second-tier spirit pill he did not recognize.

He opened the elixir bottle, fanned away the elixir's aroma with his hand, and finally, his eyes were filled with surprise.

This elixir appears to be made from the inner core of Demon Beast.

This scene surprised Ye Jingcheng somewhat. He had previously guessed that the method of refining Demon Beast Core originated from the Eastern Sea.

He had previously been exposed to refining Foundation Establishment from the Demon Beast Core.

Now, comparing it to this, it matches perfectly.

If that's the case, we can study this elixir more thoroughly; perhaps we can learn important secrets of the Demon Beast alchemy method from it.

Sometimes, there are more Demon Beast than spirit medicine.

Ye Jingcheng put away the pill bottle. He planned to ask Ye Haiyun for advice. Although the latter's alchemy skills might not be better than his, his knowledge was far superior.

Moreover, if possible, he would like to visit the Eastern Sea and learn about alchemy techniques and skills.

As for Spirit Talisman, Ye Jingcheng wasn't very interested, except for two second-tier water escape talismans.

It's clear that all the other defensive runes have probably been used.

As for the Water Release Talisman, to be honest, it might not be as good as the Jade-Scale Snake's Mist Release. Ye Jingcheng's ability to use Mist Release is also incredibly fast these days.

The best course of action is still to sell it to the Lineage!

Ye Jingcheng continued to look at the second box, which contained Law Artifact.

There weren't many Law Artifact inside, and most of them were first-tier Law Artifact, with only two second-tier Law Artifact placed among them.

Moreover, one of these two second-tier magic Law Artifact is an ordinary sky-blue Swordsmanship.

Ye Jingcheng immediately estimated the contribution points for this Law Artifact, which was a second-tier low-grade weapon and a Water Attribute magic sword.

He only smiled when he picked up another mirror.

In the Cultivation World, swords, axes, and spears are the most common weapons and rarely stand out. However, special magical Law Artifact are different; they often have endless uses.

Mirror Law Artifact are widely recognized as being relatively difficult to craft.

After he took the mirror and infused it with his spiritual light, the mirror instantly lit up, illuminating the courtyard.

In an instant, numerous spirit figures appeared.

"It's actually a treasure for tracking trails!" Ye Jingcheng was somewhat surprised.

This treasure is suitable for tracking cultivators.

He immediately began testing.

Half an hour later, he finally understood that the mirror's function was to view the atmospheric reflection from three hours ago.

For Ye Jingcheng, this mirror was a good mirror. Although it was only effective for three hours, it could sometimes have a miraculous effect.

"Let's call you the Retrospective Mirror!" Ye Jingcheng casually suggested a name.

At the same time, he also knew that offensive and defensive Law Artifact probably only be found in the Lineage's contribution tokens.

The remaining two boxes contained some first- and second-tier spirit medicine, while the last box contained Jade Slip, most of which were travelogues.

He glanced at it casually and found it even more bland than the bedroom arts techniques he had found before.

He then put everything away with little interest, planning to look it up later when he went to the Eastern Sea and needed to learn about miscellaneous matters.

Of course, beside the Jade Slip and books, Ye Jingcheng also gained a considerable amount of Spirit Stone, including forty mid-grade Spirit Stone and a full eight hundred low-grade Spirit Stone.

Ye Jingcheng smiled with satisfaction and continued to look at the second Storage Bag.
