Apprehension

In the Wan Family, as Ye Jingcheng left, Wan Hongchang's gaze lingered on his departing figure.

His eyes grew increasingly deep, like bright stars.

"Fifth Uncle, this stone is clearly extraordinary, why sell it to him?" A young man stepped forward.

He looked at the old man with some confusion.

"Because of fear." Wan Hongchang's answer startled the young man.

"What, do you think Fifth Uncle is senile and wary of a young man?" Wan Hongchang finally stopped looking at the door and turned around, speaking with some emotion.

"This boy has a terrifying temperament, excellent fortune, and a spiritual body. He is valued by the Ye Family and has been chosen to surpass Ye Jingyu as the next head of the family. His potential is limitless!" Wan Hongchang clearly knew Ye Jingcheng very well and told him all the information about Ye Jingcheng as if he were a treasure.

"Putting everything else aside, just look at what happened just now. This young man's pleasing words and his adaptability to various situations are things that many old cultivators could never do in their entire lives. How can we prevent others from obtaining the fortuitous opportunity that we cannot obtain? After all, the enmity of those who obstruct our path is irreconcilable. Besides, our Wan Family has not been without gains this time."

Wan Hongchang then spoke, and with a wave of his hand, the surrounding array flags fell, along with a Jade Slip.

The Jade Slip began to evolve, revealing Ye Jingcheng's changing expressions and the various methods he had used to manipulate the Spirit Insect.

At first glance, the young man seemed unfazed. He observed Ye Jingcheng's relaxed and carefree demeanor as he faced the falling Five Poison Bee, and how a slight change in his expression could cause the Five Poison Bee to adopt a different offensive strategy.

Even more remarkably, these Five Poison Bee bore a resemblance to Black-Wing Scorpion.

It seems they are still learning and mastering the Black-Wing Scorpion's methods of advancement.

Furthermore, at first glance it didn't seem like much, but upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that these Five Poison Bee are not only arranged in groups of ten, but also in pairs, cooperating with each other.

"He's training troops, and he's also studying!"

"His control over the situation is also extremely strong!"

"He held back!" the young man exclaimed in surprise.

The more I talked, the more powerless I felt.

"Although our Wan Family also prides itself on being Lineage of Spirit Beast, we are still far inferior to the Ye Family. This Ye Jingcheng does not specialize in Spirit Insect, yet he is far superior to me, which shows that he is Xiao Ke. If we were to encounter a true insect master from the Ye Family, we would have even less of a chance." Wan Hongchang sighed slightly, as another Azurewater Scorpion crawled onto his hand.

He stared at the Azurewater Scorpion's hook, and he tried to send out his Divine Sense, making the scorpion keep wagging its tail, as if he was transmitting information between the scorpions.

However, after trying for a long time, the scorpion seemed somewhat stiff, and even its normal attacks became much slower.

Wan Hongchang sighed again.

"Fifth Uncle, but your forte is Sword Cultivator. How can you compare them?" The young man was still somewhat unconvinced.

"Their specialty is alchemy, and they're even younger than you, only at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage." Wan Hongchang paused for a moment before continuing:

"You really need to work harder!"

"Moreover, if we encounter them in the secret realm of the Taihang Mountain Range, they will do our Wan Family a favor. In exchange for a strange stone that even your great-grandfather couldn't figure out, we'll gain the means to Spirit Insect, half a favor, and a considerable amount of Spirit Stone. It's definitely a worthwhile deal." After Wan Hongchang finished speaking, he said no more.

If the latter understands, he'll be pleased; if not, there's nothing he can do.

However, given Ye Jingcheng's temperament, if they were to meet in the secret realm, it's quite possible that he would hold back against his nephew.

Before returning to his shop, Chu-Ye Pavilion Ye Jingcheng visited several more shops and purchased a Jade-Horned Horse that could advance once more, as well as a Crimson Lion.

This time, since he was planning to buy a gift for Ye Jingyun, he also intended to buy a Spirit Beast for Ye Jingyu, Ye Jingyu, and Ye Xingyi Ye Jinghao.

Sending one with high potential will ensure they don't hold us back if they also Beast Communion in the future.

Moreover, these Spirit Beasts were all a small bargain for him, costing him only a few Spirit Stone.

Even the Advancement Pill only require modification of the Jade-Scale Pill and the Crimson Flame Pill.

Now that he is a second-tier Alchemist, he no longer needs to hide anything when improving elixirs.

After all, he had already demonstrated his talent for alchemy within the Lineage.

Stepping into the shop, he found a different scene than when he left it that morning. Now, many cultivators were examining the elixirs inside, and even a few Rogue Cultivator were observing from the doorway.

Some who frequently bought elixirs were even drinking the Spring Welcoming Tea provided by the Ye Family inside the shop.

Upon seeing Ye Jingcheng enter, the Rogue Cultivator and guests all greeted Ye Jingcheng warmly.

People were calling him Senior Ye and Master Ye, which gave Ye Jingcheng a different feeling.

"Please continue watching, and feel free to introduce your friends to come over." Ye Jingcheng was also happy to see this situation, but he didn't linger on the first floor. Instead, he went up the stairs to the second floor.

"If anyone wants to see second-tier spirit pills, no verification is required. Any cultivator with the Ye Family token can go upstairs to check."

Halfway there, Ye Jingcheng turned back and added.

This also puzzled many cultivators who had never heard of the Ye Family's token.

After all, most shops require proof of funds or have sufficient financial strength.

This can also be considered a demonstration of strength.

Ye Jingcheng did not explain this. The Ye Family token was, of course, Ban Xu Order, and obtaining it required Heavenly Dao Oath.

Ye Jingyu and the others will make the arrangements themselves, so Ye Jingcheng doesn't need to worry about it.

His most important task now is to replace Ye Xingyi.

After all, the latter had been looking from the second floor for quite some time, and it would indeed be unreasonable for him not to go over there soon.

"Uncle Thirty-Fifth, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Ye Jingcheng handed a Spirit Beast pouch to Ye Xingyi.

"You've worked hard these past few days. These are the Spirit Insect I bought for you. Seventh Sister and the others also have some. My Sixth Brother always says I have good taste. If these Spirit Beast I buy also grow well, it proves that my luck and vision are truly excellent." Ye Jingcheng explained, and the latter then accepted the Spirit Beast bag.

He was overjoyed when he saw the two Azurewater Scorpion in the Spirit Beast pouch.

"Is this the Wan Family's Spirit Insect?"

"Uncle Thirty-Five is indeed a lover of insects; he recognized it at a glance," Ye Jingcheng smiled slightly.

In fact, these two Azurewater Scorpion have more room to grow than his Five Poison Bee.

However, since his Five Poison Bee have been trained for a long time and have reached a certain scale, he has no intention of replacing them.

Moreover, these two Azurewater Scorpion need to be nurtured for the next generation, so they can be used once Ye Xingyi breaks through to the Foundation Establishment.

It seems that his appearance in the market attracted many cultivators to buy elixirs.

"Thank you, Jingcheng. The Spirit Stone used to pay this will be deducted from my salary. If that's not enough, I'll add some more." Ye Xingyi shook his head, refusing Ye Jingcheng's gift.

Ye Xingyi is Alchemist, and recently, because Ye Jingcheng has been frequently in seclusion, he has been refining all the first-grade spirit pills. He has earned quite a lot of Spirit Stone in the past year or so.

After all, now that the Ye Family has the Jin Family's supply of spirit medicine, as long as the elixirs can be sold, the Alchemist will reap considerable rewards.

Even though Ye Jingyu and Ye Jinghao worked the most shifts, they still earned a considerable amount of Spirit Stone.
