Not Understanding

Beneath the apricot tree, as a wisp of tea steam rose, Ye Jingcheng had already brewed a pot of tea.

His movements as he cut the tea were very light and graceful, and Ling Wen also grasped the specific timing.

This is how you allow the tea's aroma to fully develop.

After practicing alchemy at Sand Cloud Mountain, Ye Jingcheng naturally preferred to perfect both alchemy and tea-making.

As the lid of the teapot is slightly lifted, the aroma of the tea wafts out, leaving a lingering and refreshing aftertaste.

Ye Haiyun was quite pleased to see this, her eyes filled with joy.

He recognized it as a second-tier spiritual tea, but unlike usual, this time he neither stopped Ye Jingcheng nor said it was a waste.

Ye Jingcheng then took out two more Law Artifact cups that he had obtained from Ye Jingli and handed one to Ye Haiyun.

The cup is embroidered with blue and white porcelain, and when paired with the spiritual tea, it's as if the blue and white porcelain comes to life.

"Fourth Grandfather, look..."

"Fourth Grandfather?" Before he could finish speaking, Ye Jingcheng's eyes suddenly changed. He suddenly felt Ye Haiyun's hand trembling.

Moreover, the Spiritual Qi energy emanating from his entire body fluctuated in strength.

This is clearly a sign that the spirit is about to dissipate.

"No need to worry about it, I'll have some tea, you take a look at this Jade Slip." Ye Haiyun didn't want to continue this topic, so she quickly took the spiritual tea and showed the Jade Slip to Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng hesitated before taking the Jade Slip and placing it on his forehead. Inside, he found the ingredients of the Bloodrage Pill spirit medicine the method of refining it.

However, there are three different refining ratios.

Ye Jingcheng needs to give it a try.

Ye Haiyun, as expected of a seasoned Alchemist, is indeed more skilled than Ye Haiyun in refining certain Pill Formula.

But that's only because his cultivation level is higher, his Divine Soul is stronger, and his Pill Furnace is also stronger.

Ye Jingcheng put the Jade Slip down. Compared to the Jade Slip and the Pill Formula, he was more worried about the latter's health at this moment.

He hadn't noticed it at the clan meeting, but now that they were alone, he realized it.

"Don't worry, we'll be fine for at least two or three years. That's how it is for cultivators. I'm glad I can die here, seeing my Lineage reach this point." Ye Haiyun smiled slightly. Only then did Ye Jingcheng realize that Ye Haiyun was over a hundred years old and that the latter seemed to have damaged his Qi and Blood due to forced alchemy.

For elderly cultivators, Qi and Blood are equivalent to lifespan.

It can't be easily repaired.

Ye Haiyun said this, but when he drank this second-grade Floating Cloud Tea, he only took a small sip, and even just moistened his lips.

It seems they were worried about wasting food if they drank too much.

But this doesn't look like someone without regrets.

"Jinghu doesn't understand why the Lineage forbids cultivators from contacting mortals, but don't you?" Ye Haiyun asked, his displeasure evident.

Ye Jingcheng did not reply. Although he knew that Ye Haiyun made sense, and he had recently visited the old town mayor, he did not want to admit that cultivators could also grow old and die.

Besides, this was Ye Haiyun right in front of him, the Ye Haiyun who had taught him alchemy for decades.

He knew in his heart that for most cultivators, regret was the main theme.

Even for members of the Ye Family, once the sixty-year mark is over, only hope remains for the next sixty years.

This is why he cultivates so diligently.

But now that the matter was actually in his hands, he hesitated.

Ye Jingcheng didn't know what to say, so he just looked at the teacup and urged Ye Haiyun to drink a few more sips.

Under Ye Jingcheng's gaze, Ye Haiyun was no longer as composed as before. Ye Jingcheng waited until Ye Haiyun finished her drink before speaking.

"Fourth Grandfather, you can take the longevity-enhancing peach from that Wood Demon peach tree in half a year!"

His sacred peach tree bore five longevity peaches.

With the added effect of his Treasure Book, it should be possible to extend one's lifespan by a few years.

"No need. The Lineage already has a second-tier Alchemist and a genius with a unique Spirit Root. Wouldn't it be better to leave these longevity peaches and give the Lineage's cultivators a few more years of opportunities?" Ye Haiyun shook his head.

He might have studied the tree that the Wood Demon lived in, but what difference did it make to him whether it took a few more or fewer years?

For those at the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining, that's a regret for most of their lives.

He understood this deeply.

He didn't resent his Lineage; he knew Lineage could obtain Foundation Establishment. He only resented that back then, he couldn't become the person his Lineage was fully committed to nurturing.

Therefore, he was extremely harsh on Ye Jingcheng, Ye Jinghu, and even most of the cultivators in the Alchemy Hall.

"Jingcheng, sometimes, the process of cultivating immortality is about learning to face everything calmly. If you have this mindset, your fourth grandfather will be satisfied!" Ye Haiyun said after a moment of silence.

Seeing that Ye Jingcheng still wanted to say something, Ye Haiyun's brows furrowed immediately:

"That's enough. I'm not dead yet, so there's no need for you to wail. If you want to discuss this further, you can leave!"

Faced with Ye Haiyun's explosive temper, Ye Jingcheng had no choice but to give up.

This sparked a discussion about Blizzard Pills, with people sharing their insights on Bloodrage Pill.

At this point, Ye Haiyun became extremely serious.

"Where's your Jade Slip? Aren't you going to record it this time? Or do you think that now that you've become a second-tier Alchemist, you don't need to listen to this old man's experience anymore?" Ye Haiyun couldn't help but ask.

Ye Jingcheng took out Jade Slip slips one after another.

He also began to share his insights on the Bloodrage Pill.

The more they talked, the more confident Ye Jingcheng became in the Bloodrage Pill.

This pill is a powerful new tool for Ye Jingcheng, but for the Ye Family, it is an extremely important Pill Formula.

Back then, the Li Family wanted to use this Pill Formula to lure Ye Jingcheng out of the market.

After discussing the Bloodrage Pill, it was already getting a little dark.

Ye Jingcheng took out two second-tier spirit pills.

"Fourth Grandfather, look at this! What kind of elixir is this?"

"This pill is made from the core of a demon Demon Beast?" Ye Haiyun also felt very strange at this moment, as he had never come into contact with such Pill Formula before.

But he could still smell it immediately.

For an Alchemist, knowing the scent of spirit medicine and being able to distinguish most of spirit medicine by their Pill Fragrance is a fundamental skill.

Ye Haiyun's judgment was naturally very accurate.

"Yes, Fourth Grandfather, that's what I think too. However, I haven't researched this kind of pill much. I've kept two for myself, and I hope that Fourth Grandfather can help me research it together. That way, our Lineage can truly be ahead of other Lineage!" Ye Jingcheng said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Haiyun nodded, and Ye Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief.

To study Pill Formula, one naturally needs sufficient Spiritual Qi.

As long as Ye Haiyun can eat some Spirit Cuisine to replenish his Qi and Blood, he can indeed live for two or three years.

With the addition of the Spirit Peach, we can have a few more years. As for the rest, Ye Jingcheng can only do his best.

"You must be careful on your trip to Taichang Market. If anything happens, send a message to the Lineage, especially regarding Mo Hongyuan. If you're not confident, have the Lineage handle it. Don't let it interfere with your cultivation!" As evening approached, Ye Haiyun began to ramble on.

Ye Haiyun wasn't like this before; clearly, as people reach their final stage, they become more cautious.

"Don't worry, Fourth Grandfather, I already have a plan. I'm not afraid that Mo Hongyuan won't fall for it!" Ye Jingcheng said confidently.
