Clever Cooperation; Yanqing Appears Again

Ye Jingcheng was at the very back of the courtyard of the Ye Family Spirit Beast Shop, where the shop's small Spirit Beast hall was located.

Inside the ancestral hall, there was nothing but a plaque enshrining the Ye Family's ancestral spirit.

This is common in many cultivation Lineage.

Ye Jingcheng came to make offerings to ensure everything went perfectly.

All the cultivators wanted to push forward the progress of Taihang Commandery, but for the Ye Family, such an outcome was absolutely unacceptable.

Only by actively provoking this upheaval in Taihang Commandery and letting the Ye Family take control of their own destiny can they escape this predicament.

Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haicheng stayed in the ancestral hall for most of the day, and sure enough, a Spirit Talisman was passed in.

Ye Xinghe also walked in:

"Patriarch, Uncle, Taihao Master has arrived!"

"Please come in quickly!" Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haicheng also came out of the ancestral hall, both of them with solemn expressions.

Taihao Master looked at Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haicheng, and although he had some questions, he didn't ask them.

Instead, they changed their wording:

Do you know where this Evil Cultivator comes from?

"The Heavenly Corpse Sect!" Ye Jingcheng didn't answer, remaining silent. It was Ye Haicheng who responded.

The Heavenly Corpse Sect was like a towering tree to the Ye Family, something they could only look up to.

Even the Taiyi Sect is no match for the Heavenly Corpse Sect. It is said that the Heavenly Corpse Sect has more than one True Lord and Fifth Stage Corpse Emperor. The sect has a profound foundation and is considered one of the top sects in the Demon Sect world.

Therefore, both Ye Haicheng and Ye Jingcheng seemed somewhat hesitant.

"Understood. Don't worry, the sect will also send people to investigate this time. However, the situation in Jade Dragon Valley is really not good. What you need to do now is to hold on and get through this period!" Taihao Master explained.

The Ye Family was well aware of the situation in Jade Dragon Valley and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Seeing the reactions of the Ye Family members, Taihao Master still felt somewhat guilty.

"This Violet Firmament Talisman is excellent for dealing with the Corpse Sect. Consider it a gift from your senior brother to your future junior brother!" Taihao Master directly took out a Jade Slip.

Clearly, at this moment, he realized that Ye Jingcheng's cultivation level was already at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

A breakthrough every few years naturally makes one seem like a genius, but for Taihao Master and others, this was actually something they had long expected.

After all, Ye Jingcheng is not only Bloodwood Spirit Body, but also a gifted Alchemist.

Otherwise, Tianfu True Person wouldn't have accepted him as Registered Disciple beforehand.

"Thank you very much, Venerable Master!" Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haicheng both expressed their gratitude.

Although the other party could call him junior brother, he couldn't call him senior brother now.

This is a matter of politeness and face.

Ye Jingcheng knew perfectly well what to do.

Taihao Master left quickly, and Ye Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the person most afraid is Taihao Master, who actually sent people to guard the Ye Family's town.

That was true torment for the Ye Family.

This kind of laissez-faire approach is actually the best approach right now.

"Wait two more days, and then go and urge Ward Master Jiang again around dusk!"

"Ward Master Jiang is always dragging his feet; you'll have to urge him on this!" Ye Haicheng said after watching Taihao Master leave.

Ye Jingcheng nodded. The Lineage's initial goal this time was to send out 100,000 mortals. In this way, in the future, the Ye Family would only need to take the children to awaken their Spirit Roots, and then the cultivators would be nurtured in the main world, while the mortals would be placed in the small world.

In the Yan Kingdom, a large number of ordinary members of the Ye Family will remain.

As for some damage, that's inevitable.

All we can say is that the Ye Family did everything in their power to preserve as much as possible.

Moreover, most of those who retain these positions are ordinary members of the Ye Family.

As for what the Li Family left behind, it's a good time to cleanse them out again.

Humans are forgetful; in ten or twenty years, the Li Family won't even remember.

After two such experiences, under the influence of the immortal master's powerful immortal energy, they will completely become mortals of the Ye Family, contributing to the continuation of the Ye Family's bloodline.

The two returned to the ancestral hall, and this time Ye Jingcheng looked at the Jade Slip.

The thunder talisman recorded inside this Jade Slip is called the Violet Firmament Talisman, and it is divided into two grades: Lesser Violet Firmament Talisman and Greater Violet Firmament Talisman.

The Lesser Violet Firmament Talisman is a top-grade first-tier spiritual Spirit Talisman, useful for Qi Refining cultivators.

The Greater Violet Firmament Talisman is a low-grade second-tier Spirit Talisman, capable of dealing with second-tier refined corpses without any difficulty.

However, the crafting of this Violet Firmament Talisman is not easy; the material must be the Spirit Skin of a Thunder Attribute Demon Beast.

This limits the number of Spirit Talisman that can be produced, and also requires cultivators with Thunder Spirit Roots.

No wonder they gave it to the Ye Family so easily.

However, despite this, it is still very useful to the Ye Family.

The Ye Family both Thunder Spirit Roots and Thunder Attribute Demon Beast Spirit Skins.

Ye Jingcheng carefully put away the jade talisman.

At the same time, he took out two Storage Bags. These two Storage Bags belonged to the Corpse Daoist. One was the Storage Bag from the blood corpse, and the other was the Storage Bag from Chen Ya's dismembered body.

Ye Jingcheng hadn't had time to investigate before, as he hadn't had a chance at Soaring Cloud Peak.

Of course, he didn't actually harbor any illusions about the treasures Storage Bags.

After all, almost all of the Corpse Daoist's treasures were lost in the Desolation-Suppressing Secret Realm and ended up in his hands.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have refined his original body into a blood corpse at the last moment, just to reach the level of a third-order corpse refinement and ensure absolute success.

Unfortunately, Ye Jingcheng also secretly called on Ye Haicheng.

Under normal circumstances, a cultivator at the Purple Mansion level would not leave their clan's mountain.

After all, for a Purple Mansion Lineage, it is absolutely crucial that no accident occurs to a Purple Mansion cultivator.

This is why, sometimes, when the Purple Mansion Lineage is unsure about Foundation Establishment Lineage, they will only use Foundation Establishment cultivators to test them.

It's not that I'm not worried about accidents happening during Foundation Establishment, but I'm even more worried about accidents happening in the Purple Mansion when I'm not confident.

Take the Mo Family for example. After the death of the Mo Family patriarch, the Mo Family rapidly declined, even though they still had the support of their sect and a number of Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators.

But without the true power of the Purple Mansion, the Purple Mansion Lineage is no longer a symbol of honor or fear, but rather meat—meat that everyone wants a bite of.

He first looked at the Storage Bag of the third-tier blood corpse.

There was nothing inside, but to his surprise, there were three Spirit Talisman.

These three Spirit Talisman are all top-grade second-tier Spirit Talisman.

One is a second-tier lightning needle talisman, one is a second-tier fire explosion talisman, and the last one is a second-tier gale talisman.

All three Spirit Talisman were offensive Spirit Talisman, which was indeed an unexpected gain for Ye Jingcheng.

A single second-tier top-grade Spirit Talisman can cost close to tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.

In particular, the Lightning Rod Talisman and the Gale Spirit Talisman are extremely powerful and rare.

Ye Jingcheng then looked at the Storage Bag containing Chen Ya's dismembered body, only to find a large number of corpses and many ordinary people, all soaked in a special corpse fluid.

Then it gradually transformed into corpse refining.

Ye Jingcheng shook his head at the sight.

Besides these, there were only a dozen or so scattered low-grade Spirit Stones, which seemed to have all been looted, as well as quite a few first and second-tier Law Artifacts, but they were all cheap Law Artifacts.

The only magical Law Artifact that satisfied Ye Jingcheng was a second-tier top-grade Black Corpse Needle.

These black corpse needles are extremely thin, resembling black silk threads.

The cold light was astonishing, Sha Qi was palpable.

This was clearly a sneak attack on Libao.

However, the Corpse Daoist obviously didn't have time to use his abilities before being killed by Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haicheng in a joint attack.

In truth, their deaths were not unjust.

After all, Ye Haicheng was not only Purple Mansion Body Cultivator, but he also used the Ye Family's unique Spirit Control. He was annoyed by the Corpse Daoist and worried that he had other tricks up his sleeve.

Ye Jingcheng put away all the Storage Bags.

Then he closed his eyes and began to study the second-tier Pill Formula of the Golden Falcon Pill.

Previously, he had planned to first study Earth Attribute and Wood Attribute elixirs to accelerate the cultivation speed of the Golden-Scaled Beast and the Four-Colored Cloud Deer.

But now, with the situation so chaotic, allowing Golden Falcon to break through early will ensure greater stability for the Ye Family in the future.

His own safety is also greater.

On the contrary, the Golden-Scaled Beast and the Four-Colored Cloud Deer were already quite powerful because their bloodlines had advanced twice. Taking second-grade low-level spiritual pills would certainly improve their strength.

The only downside is that it's a little slower, but Ye Jingcheng can accept that.

Half a day passed quickly, and dusk was quietly approaching.

The heavy rain stopped abruptly; summer downpours come and go quickly.

The entire Taihang Marketplace felt unusually fresh.

The blood-soaked corpses were still in front of the Spirit Beast shop, but the smell of blood had faded considerably. Ye Jingcheng ignored them and went directly to Jiang Fangzhang's courtyard.

When Jiang Jinghe saw Ye Jingcheng arrive, a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes. Hearing that Ye Jingcheng had come to urge him on and that he had come alone, his expression became somewhat impatient.

Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng seemed to show some fear.

After urging him a few times, he left.

Jiang Jinghe sighed upon seeing this:

"It seems the Ye Family has truly been targeted by Evil Cultivators!"

Compared to the other Lineage, Jiang Jinghe felt closer to the Ye Family.

Although the sect was wary of the Ye Family, the Ye Family treated him, the market owner, very well in the market.

Back then, Ye Xingliu even suggested that he swallow two Foundation Establishment, and actively supported this idea.

Such scenes are not uncommon.

But today, he had no choice. Taihao Master had also come and given him the order to organize a demon-hunting team.

But how could he dare to go to the four counties under the jurisdiction of the Ye Family's Soaring Cloud Peak?

The Evil Cultivator was clearly seeking revenge against the Ye Family.

Even without Evil Cultivators, the Ye Family is still terrifying. What earth-shattering secret must the Ye Family be hiding!

Jiang Jinghe's only thought now is to accumulate as many resources as possible during his term, so that he can give Purple Mansion a final push.

As for the rest, he would do whatever it took to avoid trouble!

Ye Jingcheng was also very satisfied with Jiang Jinghe's cooperation. Although the other party was unaware of it, the Ye Family had actually guessed this move long ago.

This is like a live performance without rehearsal.

Everything was just right.

The Ye Family was extremely anxious because they were being retaliated against as ordinary people.

Ward Master Jiang of Taihang Marketplace, was afraid of getting into trouble, so he deliberately delayed.

Ye Jingcheng continued walking towards the Lineage's Spirit Beast shop, not even glancing at the Yu Family's restaurant.

When he entered the Ye Family Spirit Beast Shop, he saw Ye Xinghe walking over.

"Patriarch, someone wants to see you?" Ye Xinghe asked.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng was taken aback.

"On the second floor of the Lineage restaurant," Ye Xinghe continued.

"Who?" Ye Jingcheng asked.

"Wearing Spirit-Isolating Robe, you can't see his appearance!" Ye Xinghe shook his head and simply took out a pill bottle.

Upon seeing the pill bottle, Ye Jingcheng instantly understood that it was clearly the pill bottle he had refined for Chu Yanqing.

Others may not know, but he knows very well.

Because of his exacting standards for elixirs, Ye Jingcheng was extremely particular about the bottles he used to store them.

Only high-quality jade and well-defined patterns can protect the elixir's Spiritual Qi.

"Fine, I'll go right now!" Ye Jingcheng circled around the entrance of the Spirit Beast shop, then stormed off angrily toward the Ye Family Restaurant.

In front of the Ye Family Restaurant, Ye Jingcheng once again displayed ten corpses.

"Gentlemen, you are always welcome to come and eat and drink at our restaurant after slaying Evil Cultivators!"

Ye Jingcheng shouted angrily and stormed up to the second floor of the restaurant, completely disregarding the restaurant's business.

After Ye Jingcheng entered the restaurant, he went into a private room.

Inside the private room, the cultivator in the Spirit-Isolating Robe was clearly extremely vigilant, holding Spirit Talisman in his hand, seemingly ready to flee at any moment.

"Fairy Chu, why didn't you inform me of your arrival beforehand?" Ye Jingcheng took out a bottle of pills and then spoke generously.

Although we don't know what Chu Yanqing's purpose is in coming, it's definitely related to the Chu Family.

If the Chu Family were to ask him for help, he would immediately refuse.

The Ye Family is now struggling to protect itself, let alone other Lineage!
