The Eight Trigrams Token
With the arrival of early spring, Ye Jingcheng's courtyard at Soaring Cloud Peak was already bustling with activity.
His remaining Five Poison Bee were extremely busy flitting among the spirit flowers such as the Black Cloud Flower and the Purple Illusion Flower.
In the bamboo grove, many bamboo shoots are rising from the ground, emitting a delicate and refreshing fragrance.
Ye Jingcheng pushed open the courtyard door, and the stone table and room inside were wiped clean and looked spotless.
Clearly, while he was away, the Ye Family arranged for people to clean his yard and take care of his spiritual fields.
Ye Jingcheng released all the Five Poison Bee from the Grotto-Heaven, as well as the Jade Ring Rat, Jade Jade-Scale Flood Dragon, and Crimson Flame Fox.
For the beasts, this place is also their home.
The Jade Ring Rat, in particular, were exceptionally excited.
It squeaked.
It may no longer be noticeable, and may even be forgotten for months, but the Jade Ring Rat still has a deep affection for its homeland.
Ye Jingcheng watched as the Jade Ring Rat squeaked at him cautiously, seemingly wanting to cultivate the spirit field.
Inside the Grotto-Heaven, the Jade Ring Rat could initially find some enjoyment, but as the Soil-Turning Earthworm entered, it sensed a great threat—a threat different from that of the Crimson Flame Fox and the Golden-Scaled Beast.
Ye Jingcheng nodded, and the Jade Ring Rat immediately squeaked and entered the spirit field outside.
Its large ears flapped even more frequently, appearing extremely excited.
However, his cultivation level was still at the late stage of the first rank, equivalent to the seventh level of Qi Refining.
The Jade Ring Rat is Spirit Beast with a short lifespan. It is somewhat similar to Spirit Insect, and now that it has reached the late stage of the first tier, it is nearing its limit.
Ye Jingcheng sighed, but after what happened with Ye Haiyun...
He knew that the Great Dao was inherently cold and indifferent, and cultivators should deeply understand this and move forward with determination.
Besides the Jade Ring Rat, the Crimson Flame Fox and the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon also joined the group, and both entered their respective beast enclosures.
However, the Jade Jade-Scale Flood Dragon remained inside and refused to come out, while the Crimson Flame Fox seemed to be on patrol. After patrolling, it entered Ye Jingcheng's room.
Ye Jingcheng was already used to the Crimson Flame Fox and didn't chase it away. He was just a little surprised to see that the three tails of the Crimson Flame Fox seemed to be burning with flames. It was clear that even after more than ten days, the residual effects of the Fire Beast Pill were still there.
It seems that elixirs refined from the Demon Beast Core are more suitable for Spirit Beast.
In this way, combined with the beast cores in his Storage Bag, he might be able to break through to the late stage of the second tier even earlier.
Inside the Grotto-Heaven, the Three-Color Cloud Deer and the Golden-Scaled Beast were still breaking through, while Ye Jingcheng took out a Storage Bag and began to investigate.
This Storage Bag belongs to Xu Yinglong; Ye Xingliu left behind was that of a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Of course, Ye Jingcheng's Storage Bag was his own, while Ye Xingliu's Storage Bag also had some treasures to be given to Ye Jingyong, Ye Jingli Ye Xingyi, and other Ye Family members who had contributed.
The Storage Bag wasn't very big, which surprised Ye Jingcheng. However, although it wasn't large, it contained quite a lot of valuables.
There were more than ten second-tier Spirit Talisman, clearly Xu Yinglong was well prepared, but he was caught off guard by Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xingliu's series of attacks and couldn't react at all.
Besides the Spirit Talisman, Xu Yinglong's Storage Bag also contained many Secret Method and numerous Spirit Stones.
He even had several robes for Spirit-Isolating Robe.
Some of these Spirit-Isolating Robe resemble those of Bandit Cultivator, while others are the attire of various major Lineage.
It's likely that Xu Yinglong has gotten into a lot of trouble in his daily life.
Ye Jingcheng roughly estimated that there were at least tens of thousands of Spirit Stones. In addition, there were two Law Artifacts, which were the most eye-opening for Ye Jingcheng.
One of them was the top-grade magic Law Artifact, the Eight Trigrams Plaque; the other was the Crimson Seal Talisman Treasure.
As for the remaining item, it is a second-tier high-grade standard Law Artifact, the Taichang Sword.
Ye Jingcheng was not interested in this sword.
Its power is not much different from that of the Evergreen Sword, but it has many troubles, and even on the black market, it is difficult to sell for a good price.
However, selling it to Hidden Peak cultivator in the Lineage in the future would be a better decision.
After examining the secret Jade Slip, Ye Jingcheng discovered several Foundation Establishment to the Purple Mansion stage.
However, upon closer examination, these unconventional methods reveal numerous shortcuts and tricks involved.
The only thing that pleased Ye Jingcheng was that Xu Yinglong's Storage Bag actually contained other spirit medicine for Purple Palace Jade Liquid, as well as the Pill Formula for Purple Palace Jade Liquid. The only thing missing was the Purple Jade Fruit.
This was unexpected for Ye Jingcheng. In his view, no matter how wealthy the Taiyi Sect was, it was impossible for every disciple to have the formula for the Purple Palace Jade Liquid Pill Formula.
There's only one possibility: Xu Yinglong stole the Pill Formula.
He couldn't figure out who had the Pill Formula was being stolen, since even ordinary Purple Mansion Lineage rarely possessed it, let alone Xu Yinglong.
To possess the formula for the Purple Palace Jade Liquid Pill Formula, one must at least be a Purple Mansion cultivator.
Such high-level Pill Formula formulas and Cultivation Method from the Ye Family could only be in Ye Haicheng's possession.
Ye Jingcheng thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it and continued to examine the remaining Jade Slip.
Having reviewed everything, Ye Jingcheng still couldn't find any valuable Secret Method or unorthodox methods that could be effectively implemented. Otherwise, he wouldn't mind researching them, since he was almost at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage and should be working on breaking through to the Purple Mansion stage.
Ye Jingcheng put away the treasures in the Storage Bag one by one, and then studied the Eight Trigrams Plaque in his hand for a while.
This treasure is indeed extraordinary. It seems to be a formation plate that can be used at will. On the Eight Trigrams Plaque, each trigram contains a remarkable Array Law Technique.
When used, it can seal, suppress, kill, illusion, trap, and so on, but it consumes a great deal of Spiritual Qi.
Furthermore, after casting the outer eight Array, it is necessary to replenish the Spiritual Qi afterwards.
It's more like a disposable magical Law Artifact that can be recharged.
Ye Jingcheng carefully put away the Eight Trigrams Plaque and then began to study the Ren Water Pill).
With the Crimson Flame Fox making a breakthrough, Ye Jingcheng naturally wouldn't forget the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon cultivation speed was even faster.
After all, the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon's progress is currently ahead of the Crimson Flame Fox's.
In addition, the research materials left to him by Ye Haiyun can be used for comparison, which will undoubtedly reduce his research time.
After another half day, a Spirit Talisman flew down from the sky.
It landed in front of his small courtyard.
Ye Jingcheng raised his hand and took the Jade Slip, which contained the specific date of the clan meeting. Because he had returned early, the clan meeting was still twelve days away.
These twelve days are not many, after all, the Yan Kingdom is extremely vast, and some members of the Ye Family go to the Taihang Mountain Range or other counties, and it takes them seven or eight days to return.
It should be noted that when Ye Jingcheng was practicing Qi cultivation, he and Ye Haiyi went to Taichang Market, which took them a full month.
Meanwhile, inside the jade talisman, Ye Jingcheng was also instructed to prepare, as the clan meeting would announce the change of patriarch.
In addition, the jade talisman also contains information and information about the cultivators and forces currently visible in the Lineage. As a family head, it is natural to have a clear understanding of the Ye Family's combat strength.
Besides the news, there are also several strategies the Lineage plans to follow.
With a new patriarch in charge, the Lineage naturally wouldn't leave all the policy and change decisions to him; instead, they would pave the way for it well in advance.
