Azurewood Spirit Seed
Above the sky, the Crimson Firmament Sky began to surge and flow.
Just like Lei Yun, the feeling of an impending storm made all the cultivators feel extremely oppressed.
The number of cultivators at the street stalls has decreased; they've all moved towards the Flat House District in the west of the city.
They've forgotten just how long it's been since anyone dared to use force in Taichang Market.
It should be noted that cultivators possess terrifying memories; photographic memory is merely a minor matter, which is sufficient proof of the long-standing peace and order in Taichang Market.
Miaofa True Person, leading a group of the Taiyi Sect law enforcement disciples, landed in front of the Mo Clan's shop.
The Mo Clan's shop sells array plates, which are surrounded by Array, so the shops on both sides are unharmed.
On the contrary, the Mo Clan's shop had been reduced to ruins.
"Reporting to Master, there is nothing useful left here. These Jade Slip are all Array for sale. As for the Storage Bag of these people, none of them are left. They must have been destroyed beforehand. Mo Hongyuan is also nowhere to be found!" Several Foundation Establishment cultivators emerged from the ruins.
Miaofa True Person's expression was also terrifyingly pale. In the Taiyi Sect, the Taichang Market was guarded in shifts. If Miaofa True Person were to have an accident, it would mean that Taiyi Purple Peak would become a laughing stock among all the peaks.
Moreover, the Mo Family has always been offering gifts to Purple Peak.
He had also stepped in to protect the Mo Family.
He took out a square mirror, and a white divine light appeared in his hand, accompanied by a dense array of incantations, illuminating the mirror.
The mirror reflected back onto the ruins.
Miraculously, spirit figures began to appear on the ruins instantly, and these spirit figures even displayed numerous images.
For example, the exchange between Mo Hongyuan and Mo Qianyu only showed images, without any actual conversation. The crucial Jade Slip had clearly been destroyed.
The scene continues, this time following Mo Qianyu to the restaurant, and then to the old man in the yellow robe, but before they can see the old man in the yellow robe...
The spirit vanished, exceeding the time limit for rewinding, and the spirit itself disappeared, signifying that the figure in the yellow robe had also perished.
"It's happening again!" Miaofa True Person was also sweating, as if even he couldn't sustain this kind of mirror reversal technique for long.
Moreover, it involves tracing back through an object.
He waved his hand, dispelling the retrospection.
"How's the investigation into the spirit wine going?" Miaofa True Person asked again.
"Reporting to Master, the spirit wine over there is indeed second-tier spirit wine, but it doesn't have the life-extending effect rumored at all; it's just a bit sweeter in taste," another Foundation Establishment cultivator said tremblingly.
Upon hearing this, Miaofa True Person let out a cold snort, which frightened the Foundation Establishment cultivator so much that he immediately knelt on the ground.
But Miaofa True Person did not speak further. Instead, he took to the air and headed out of the market, clearly wanting to study the massive spiritual explosion.
However, when he landed there, the mirror swept across him, and not a single inch of him remained intact.
The mirror showed only the image of an explosion, without any trace of any other battle.
He couldn't determine who had killed Mo Hongyuan, nor could he determine why Mo Hongyuan had left the city.
Because everything that can be traced back to its source is dead.
Apart from the members of the Kong Family...
For several days, the Crimson Firmament Sky within the market had been in constant turmoil, causing widespread panic among the cultivators in the market.
The fact that the churning red clouds haven't dispersed means that this matter is still unresolved.
Of course, Ye Jingcheng was completely oblivious to the commotion outside.
He was currently focused on cultivating the Four-Aspect Heavenly Origin Scripture.
As his wood-elemental spiritual power caught up, he made significant progress with each round of cultivation.
However, as progress has been made, it has encountered a bottleneck.
Because the Spiritual Qi of the earth, water, and wood elements is now less pure than his, his cultivation speed has slowed down considerably.
It was as if he had returned to his original speed.
This caused him some distress. The principle Beast Communion Art's ability to enhance cultivators is to use purer spiritual energy for cultivation. For Ye Jingcheng now, if he wants to speed things up, he either needs to take the Three-Phase Spirit Pill at the same time or enhance three Spirit Beasts.
The former approach is obviously not feasible, unless he refines elixirs with abundant pill patterns; otherwise, the side effects of those elixirs would be enough to cause him a great deal of trouble.
Thus, Ye Jingcheng also began to cultivate the final second-tier Secret Method of the Four-Aspect Heavenly Origin Scripture, the Green Wood Spirit Seed.
The Green Wood Spirit Seed is more magical than the other three major Secret Method. It requires selecting several vine seeds, using spiritual power to transform them into spirit seeds, and then catalyzing them at a crucial moment.
This catalytic speed is much faster than the Wood Vine Technique.
Moreover, the amount of catalysis is incomparable to that of the Wood Vine Technique. However, the Green Wood Spirit Seed must be kept in the body and nurtured constantly. For Ye Jingcheng, he does not lack offensive methods now, but what he lacks is this kind of Secret Method for controlling the field.
However, choosing the right seeds is difficult; he currently only has seeds of the Poison Thorn Flower.
Even if this vine is refined into Green Wood Spirit Seed, it will not bear fruit.
Ye Jingcheng shook his head and gave up.
We still need to go to the market to buy some second-tier vine spirit seeds.
Despite his thoughts, he still took out one or two seeds of the Poison Thorn Flower and began testing.
The Green Wood Spirit Seed Secret Method is much simpler to perform than other Secret Method, but it requires constant consumption of Wood Attribute spiritual power to nourish it.
Ye Jingcheng had already figured it out in half a day. At this moment, looking at his spiritual platform, in the wood element area, there were two seeds surrounded by azure light.
Ye Jingcheng smiled slightly, then got up. The Crimson Flame Fox beside the bed also got up when it saw Ye Jingcheng get up, and it chirped.
It seemed as if it was still recounting its past glory to Ye Jingcheng.
Ye Jingcheng stroked the latter's soft fur.
"Chirp!" The Crimson Flame Fox asked Ye Jingcheng again if he wanted to refine a spirit pill.
Ye Jingcheng nodded as well.
He was indeed going to refine it, and not any other elixir, but the Jade Soul Pill.
Ye Haifei and the ancestor both lost their soul fragments and need the Jade Soul Pill to restore them.
Moreover, they directly self-destructed their split souls, requiring more than just one or two Jade Soul Pills.
After all, they weren't like Ye Jingcheng, who only gave up a small portion.
After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, Ye Jingcheng discovered that refining elixirs became much easier. As the spirit medicine were thrown into the Pill Furnace, their spiritual light and pharmacological properties were extracted one by one, quickly forming a liquid.
Two more days have passed.
Ye Jingcheng raised his hand, and the furnace lid flew out, revealing five Jade Soul Pill Furnace. One of them even developed pill patterns due to the Spirit-Enhancing Secret Art.
This also greatly pleased Ye Jingcheng.
He put away all five Jade Soul Pills, and then took out a Fire Heart Pill with pill patterns from his Storage Bag and threw it to the Crimson Flame Fox.
The latter flicked its three red tails and slowly lay down. Ye Jingcheng infused it with some Treasure Radiance before stepping out of the room. Then, he removed the concealment of the Great Turtle Aura-Hiding Art, revealing his Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivation level without any disguise. He walked out of the courtyard and arrived at the shop.
"Seventh Sister, was there any problem with my seclusion during this period of breakthrough?" Ye Jingcheng asked.
"Something's wrong. The Mo Family has been wiped out. We don't know who did it, but it's satisfying!"
