Countermeasures

During the meeting, as Ye Xinghe spoke, the expressions of the other clansmen changed.

They all looked at Ye Xingliu, and after Ye Xingliu remained unmoved, they looked at Ye Jingcheng.

For most members of the Ye Family, it was natural not to attend the banquet hosted by the Xu Family.

After all, the Xu Family had targeted the Ye Family multiple times before and still had remnants of the Li Family.

This time, even though they killed the remnants of the Li Family, they still held a grand banquet, clearly because they were wary of the Ye Family's current power.

However, rationally speaking, the Ye Family has just become Purple Mansion Lineage, and it is really not advisable to make too many enemies.

This was also where Ye Xinghe hesitated.

"Uncle, I know what you're worried about, but we can't go to this banquet, and we still have to confront the Xu Family!" Ye Jingcheng said.

Upon hearing this, everyone else also looked at Ye Jingcheng.

"Our real opponent has never been the Xu Family, and we cannot lose control of Taihang Commandery!" Ye Jingcheng said vaguely.

Clan Elder like Ye Haiyun and Ye Xingliu all nodded, their eyes filled with satisfaction.

What the Ye Family needs is a Gu Quan who can consider the big picture and see things clearly.

The Xu Family, and even the Mo Family, were never the Ye Family's targets. What mattered most was how to transcend the ranks of cultivation Lineage, become a Golden Core or even Nascent Soul Lineage, and occupy a country.

Taihang Commandery is now a piece left behind by the Taiyi Sect, a piece that oversees the Demon Race in the Taihang Mountain Range.

If this piece shows any sign of slipping out of their control, they will inject a new piece to ensure that Taihang Commandery remains in their hands.

At that time, a new Li Family, or a new Mo Family, will emerge.

Conversely, if the Xu Family can block and suppress the Ye Family, and confront Ye Family in Taihang Commandery, then they can cultivate the Mo Family and the Chu Family, and the previous six- Lineage division will reappear.

This is the situation the sect wanted.

"Brother, we won't attend the banquet, but if they truly want to make peace, we need them to hand over that Li Family Ice Spirit Root cultivator, alive or dead, to prevent them from possessing our bodies and using the soul tablet to deal with us!" Ye Xingliu added from the side.

Even Ye Jingcheng was somewhat surprised by these words.

They also knew that Li Family Ice Spirit Root; this was a secret of the Li Family, and naturally, it was recorded in Cloud-Spreading Mountain of the Li Family.

The Ye Family hadn't mentioned it before because it was pointless; a cultivator with Ice Spirit Root wouldn't have much impact on the Ye Family.

The Xu Family is now deliberately feigning weakness to draw more attention to the Ye Family from the sect, and the Ye Family can't be led by the nose by them every time.

Now that the Xu Family has handed over the Li Family's cultivator, they will naturally stop cultivating that Ice Spirit Root. Possession will become the Xu Family's primary method.

However, possession is the most taboo thing in the Cultivation World. Once possession occurs, the Xu Family can forget about having any cultivators support Xu Family anymore.

Even the Taiyi Sect wants to thoroughly investigate the Xu Family.

Moreover, this time, the Xu Family, despite their attempt to apologize, was outmaneuvered by the Ye Family, suffering a significant loss in reputation.

"Alright, Patriarch." Ye Xinghe nodded. He knew that the Xu Family had ill intentions, but after so many years of staying in Taihang Marketplace, his thinking had become limited.

Hearing this, he was naturally overjoyed.

"The Lineage's restaurant plan is also fine. Let's choose a time to open the restaurant in a few days!" Ye Jingcheng took out a Jade Slip containing the plan and showed it to everyone.

The plan is the same as previously discussed: to use a section of Red-Node Fish from the Ye Family Ling Lake as a signature product, and to feature Spring Welcoming Tea as a specialty of the Ye Family.

As for the former Mo Family property, it remains unchanged.

However, for the Ye Family, their greater variety of spiritual dishes would greatly increase the interest of cultivators.

With the collaboration between the Pill Pavilion, Beast Shop, and the restaurant, and the fact that they've already given away a lot of free Red-Node Fish, there's no need to worry about the restaurant's popularity.

Meanwhile, the Ye Family's other shops also took the opportunity to sell a lot of spiritual items and made a fortune.

"Jingyu will be in charge of Taihang Marketplace this time!" After everyone finished reading the Jade Slip, they all nodded, Ye Xingliu also looked at Ye Jingyu.

As Purple Mansion Lineage, they are already an absolute giant in Taihang Marketplace, so it is only natural that they would be in charge of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

On the contrary, for clan territories like Cloud-Spreading Mountain and Cloud-Spreading Valley, arranging second-tier Spirit Beast would suffice.

Of course, secretly, the Ye Family also has quite a few members who Foundation Establishment.

"Okay." Ye Jingyu nodded. Ye Jingcheng would be going to Taichang Market soon, and now he was the only one in the Ye Family who could go to Taihang Marketplace.

The clan gathering ended quickly. Ye Jingcheng didn't have any missions this time. He spent his time refining his alchemy skills in preparation for going to Taichang Market.

He felt at ease knowing his fourth brother was going to Taihang Marketplace.

After exchanging some Floating Cloud Tea and Jade Soul Pill spirit medicine ingredients at the Treasure Pavilion, Ye Jingcheng headed towards Ye Haiyun's home.

At the entrance to the courtyard, there was still the spirit field. The Soil-Turning Earthworm looked at Ye Jingcheng again. Its sensitivity seemed to be extremely strong. Every time Ye Jingcheng came, it would come out.

Ye Jingcheng estimated that this Soil-Turning Earthworm was extremely sensitive to sound.

However, the Treasure Book didn't light up, and Ye Jingcheng wasn't interested in the Soil-Turning Earthworm.

It's not like it's digging up ground squirrels, otherwise it could keep company with the Jade Ring Rat.

Ye Jingcheng continued to cast his spiritual spell.

"Jingcheng, just come in next time," Ye Haiyun's voice came.

"Fourth Grandfather, you flatter me. I was just worried that you were cultivating," Ye Jingcheng replied with a smile.

He walked into the courtyard and saw that the apricot tree had also finished blooming, and many small green shoots remained on the branches.

When the green fruit matures, it will transform into plump, apricot-like fruits.

Ye Haiyun was at the stone table under the tree, with Ye Hu beside her.

However, Ye Hu is now known as Ye Jinghu, and has been given a generational name.

Moreover, he was also secretly receiving guidance from Ye Haiyun, an elder of the Ye family.

"What's the point of disturbing you? I'm so old, there's no point in talking about cultivation anymore!" Ye Haiyun couldn't help but sigh.

However, when she looked at Ye Jinghu, her eyes would light up with hope.

That look in his eyes was exactly the same as the one he used to give Ye Jingcheng when he was instructing him on alchemy.

Ye Jingcheng also looked over and discovered that Ye Jinghu already possessed some Spiritual Qi. Once the Spiritual Qi energy completed a full cycle, he would be considered to have reached the first level of Qi Refining.

It should be noted that it took Ye Jingcheng a full eight months to break through to the first level of Qi Refining.

Ye Jinghu could expect to reach the first level of Qi Refining in just over a month.

The difference between a unique Spirit Root and a regular four Spirit Root is indeed significant.

No wonder someone with such talent could become a core inner disciple in the Taiyi Sect, or even be accepted as a disciple by True Person.

"Eleventh Brother!" Ye Jinghu said timidly when he saw Ye Jingcheng arrive, his eyes filled with gratitude.

He felt that he was being taken too good to be by the Ye Family; he didn't have to do anything but cultivate every day.

Ye Jingcheng nodded to Jinghu and also praised him a few times.

Ye Haiyun then told Jinghu to go to the next room to cultivate by himself.

"I have some progress on the Bloodrage Pill, but I probably won't have time to refine it recently," Ye Haiyun said.
