Spring-Returning Flower, Soul-Nourishing Grass (Combined Chapter; Thanks to Chubby Baby Bottle for the Alliance Leader Support 1)
The golden dawn shone again, turning the entire end of the mountain range into gold.
Ye Jingcheng woke up from his cultivation. Through the window, he could see the willows by Green Willow Lake, which were also bathed in golden light, swaying in the wind.
In general, sunny days are good. Having gotten used to the rainy weather during the Beast Tide, any cloudy day feels like the Beast Tide could come at any moment.
The sunlight felt warm on my skin, and it also brought a touch of languor.
He could also feel that the four-element Spiritual Qi within his body had increased significantly again.
The Water element of the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon continues to lead, followed by the Fire element, and finally the Wood and Earth elements.
As for the Golden Falcon of the Golden Phase, its Spiritual Qi seemed to have reached a peak at this moment. Clearly, its cultivation level was completely at the peak of the second tier and could no longer advance.
To continue improving, the only option is to refine a second-tier Golden Falcon Pill and consume the inner core of a third-tier Metal Attribute Spirit Beast.
With this two-in-one approach, Ye Jingcheng is extremely confident about Golden Falcon's breakthrough.
At this moment, he also tried to integrate the metal elemental energy into the other four elements.
He was still extremely interested in the theory of the five elements' mutual generation and restraint.
However, even though he has the Beast-Link Mark and can Beast Communion Metal Attribute spiritual power, he does not have Metal Attribute Spirit Root. Therefore, he can only use Metal elemental spiritual power but cannot integrate and refine it.
Even if one uses their internal Cultivation Method, the balance will only last temporarily before dissipating.
For Ye Jingcheng, this outcome was nothing short of disheartening.
He sometimes thought that it would be great if he had five Spirit Root, but that's how cultivation is; some people want a single Spirit Root, while others want Spirit Root.
There's really no need to think about those things.
After all, in all these years of Cultivation World, there's no record of any particular Spirit Root being able to Ascension immortality, and no record of any Spirit Root being unable to. This shows that anything is possible.
As Ye Jingcheng pondered, a series of solemn bell tolls echoed from the mountaintop.
The day after the return of the True Person, the much-anticipated conference finally convened, and the Miaofa True Person, now known to even more people, reappeared in the sky.
A high platform has been built next to Green Willow Lake.
The Sword Cultivator of the Taiyi Sect landed on either side of the high platform, overseeing the situation.
Miaofa True Person sat in the center of the high platform, and even though he didn't say a word, everyone felt a little breathless.
Even Ye Jingcheng felt considerable pressure from the aura of a Golden True Person.
Once everyone has arrived.
Kong Yulong of the Kong Family and Jin Zongliang of the Jin Family spoke and bowed almost simultaneously:
"We juniors greet the Miaofa True Person."
Then the other cultivators also began to bow.
In Ye Jingcheng's view, all the formalities and red tape had only one purpose: to make the rogue Rogue Cultivator more humble and the Taiyi Sect more sacred.
This time, the Taihang Commandery suffered such great losses, and while the Ye Family certainly bears responsibility, so does the Taiyi Sect.
But now, with this whole setup, it seems as if the Taiyi Sect is the savior.
The rogue Rogue Cultivator were the villains who sought repentance and unleashed the Beast Tide.
Ye Jingcheng remained completely calm amidst the crowd. Just like the rules of the sect, his Lineage also had many rules.
So he was quite used to it.
Beside him, Ye Jingli and Ye Jingyong stood on either side of him, both of them extremely focused.
After thinking it over for half a day, Ye Jingyong still chose the most expensive option: the Spirit Beast egg of the Silver Moon Python Great Demon.
It can advance four times to transform into Silver Moon Flood Dragon, and its potential is also extremely high.
Of course, the amount of contribution points owed also increased, from a shortfall of 10,000 to a debt of 17,000 contribution points.
This assessment of contributions is based on Ye Jingcheng's estimation; he has the Treasure Book, so there shouldn't be any problems.
He also offers his unique insights to those who have high contribution points.
Ye Jingyong trusted this completely. He might have been a little worried at first, but when he heard that it was a young beast egg born from a half-dragon with the bloodline of a dragon, he immediately agreed with great excitement.
Ye Jingcheng estimated that Ye Jingyong would be willing to accept an additional two thousand contribution points.
Besides the Silver Moon Python cub egg, there were actually many other gains at Moonwatch Lake, but Ye Jingcheng gave all the captured second-tier Demon Beast to Hidden Peak, giving them more time to slowly train the eagles.
For Ye Jingyong and Ye Jingli, it would be better for them to take the cub eggs.
After all, he will be refining a large number of water-grade pills and Earth-Tier Pill in the future.
"Today, I have convened this meeting only to give everyone a summary," Miaofa True Person finally spoke from the high platform.
He slowly stood up, and everyone felt as if an insurmountable mountain stood before them.
"As you all have probably seen about this Beast Tide, rumors have been rampant lately, and villains have been causing trouble. There are over a hundred rogue Rogue Cultivator, and they even dared to snatch the dragon's blood in court. Such behavior is truly disrespectful to our sect!" Miaofa True Person raised his hand, and a ray of spiritual light drifted by.
Ten more corpses appeared in the distance.
Ye Jingcheng looked at the corpses in the distance. Among them were two Purple Mansion Venerables, and the remaining eight were all Foundation Establishment cultivators he remembered from the Beast Tide.
However, the person who was the first to seize the dragon's blood did not appear.
This scene also made the atmosphere of the entire conference more intriguing.
Ye Jingcheng was even more worried that a scene of thousands of people Soul Inquiry might occur.
However, it is clear that the Taiyi Sect did not achieve that.
Instead, it fully ensured the grandeur of a large-scale operation.
"The sect will continue to investigate the cause of the Beast Tide and which force is causing trouble in Taihang Commandery. However, everyone can rest assured that although the Silver Moon Demon King is not dead, he probably won't be able to cause trouble for a hundred years!" Miaofa True Person spoke again.
"Therefore, all the major Lineage in Taihang Commandery can continue to develop in Taihang Commandery. If any Foundation Establishment cultivators wish to establish their Lineage, they can apply to their sects!"
"In addition, the sect will also purchase the materials from the Demon Beast this time. After all, you have all made great contributions to the Beast Tide. This time, the sect will also open a list for everyone to exchange, instead of just Spirit Stone!" After Miaofa True Person finished speaking, he directly announced the end of the conference.
Rogue Cultivator who wish to leave can now depart.
Clearly, those cultivators with guilty consciences may have quietly left yesterday, and for those who are safe here, the Taiyi Sect has no need to Soul Inquiry anymore; they probably wouldn't get any information anyway.
Instead, they lost the magnanimity of a sect.
As for the Kong Family and Jin Family, they must have suffered considerable losses as well; otherwise, the Taiyi Sect wouldn't have left them completely unmentioned.
Ye Jingcheng even suspected that the wealth of the Xu Family and Chu Family might have fallen into the hands of the sect.
Ye Jingcheng pondered many things, but soon he shook his head.
The lake has never been calm. All he can do is ensure the Ye Family's stable development and cherish this hard-won opportunity.
Of course, the Taiyi Sect's rankings also represent an opportunity for him.
He brought out the Five-Element Heavenly Palace Secret Art from the Desolation-Suppressing Secret Realm.
It can condense several Purple Mansion, thereby increasing the probability of breaking through to the Purple Mansion, and then further increasing the chances of breaking through to the Golden Nascent Soul.
This is also why Xu Hanqing of the Xu Family went to the secret realm even though his cultivation had not yet recovered.
This Five-Element Heavenly Palace Secret Art requires the addition of Purple-Condensing Spirit Liquid.
If a normal cultivator were to separate their Purple Mansion to condense, the Purple Mansion would instantly repel each other and dissipate.
The magic of this Five-Element Heavenly Palace Secret Art lies in the fact that the elements do not interfere with each other. Once all the spiritual forms have been condensed, they can be merged into the Purple Mansion.
This Purple-Condensing Spirit Liquid requires a Thousand-Year Spring-Returning Flower, Soul-Nourishing Grass over 500 years old, and Purple Vermilion Fruit over 800 years old.
The Ye Family has already found the three Spirit Material, Purple Vermilion Fruit, and has also collected the other auxiliary materials. They are only missing the Thousand-Year Spring-Returning Flower and the Soul-Nourishing Grass.
He had originally planned to ask Ye Jingteng to buy it after he broke through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, but now it was Taiyi Sect that could exchange it.
This would be much more convenient for him.
The Thousand-Year Spring-Returning Flower has a wide range of medicinal uses, and it's not some kind of spirit medicine for breaking through to the Purple Mansion realm, so Ye Jingcheng doesn't need to worry about being seen through.
Now that he's a second-tier high-grade Alchemist, it's quite reasonable for him to collect some rare spirit medicine.
As for the Soul-Nourishing Grass, it is a spiritual herb that is much more precious than the Jade Soul Grass.
"Patriarch, let's go take a look too!" Ye Jingli and Ye Jingyong both looked forward to it.
The former had witnessed the power of the Crimson Flame Scale Python was now focused on cultivating it, while Ye Jingyong simply wanted to join in the fun and see the depth of the Taiyi Sect.
The list for everyone to exchange was placed in a large hall Green Willow Lake, which was naturally the main hall of the Jin Family.
It was supposed to be Council Hall, but since the Taiyi Sect wanted to requisition it, the Jin Family not only dared not say a word, but also wanted to inscribe several more Spirit Gathering Formation arrays around the hall.
The Spiritual Qi of Green Willow Mountain was clearly not as strong as when Ye Jingcheng had visited.
Setting up Spirit Gathering Formation now requires investing a significant amount of Spirit Stone, making it a maximum loss.
If we could acquire the materials from all the Rogue Cultivator, that would be good. After all, many materials from second-tier Demon Beast can be used to refine magical Law Artifact, and their spiritual meat can be used to refine spiritual dishes to supply some Body Cultivator.
Among python beasts, the Silver Moon Python and the Red Moon Python possess extremely high levels of Blood Qi, which is of great benefit to Body Cultivator.
Take Ye Jingyong for example; the three he chased down and killed this time were all Blood Moon Python.
In this way, his own Cultivation Method Blood Qi can break through to even greater levels.
Ye Jingcheng gave him the Silver Moon Python so that the latter could Spirit Control. The Silver Moon Python Silver Moon Python's scale armor defense was among the best Ye Jingcheng had ever seen.
It's only because his Jade-Scale Flood Dragon bloodline has advanced too many times; otherwise, he might actually have raised that Silver Moon Python cub himself.
To be honest, he doesn't really care about advancement opportunities below the fourth level, except for special Spirit Beast.
They are not of much value to him in terms of training.
The group arrived in front of the main hall. Ye Jingcheng originally wanted to join the queue, but was told that there was a special Lineage exchange queue on the side.
Ye Jingcheng naturally nodded his thanks and went to the table next to him, where the Jin Family and Kong Family were exchanging items.
The spirit medicine and various materials on the list are all 10% more expensive than usual.
Moreover, we still need to wait for the sect to transfer resources from the Taichang Mountain Range.
But there are very few people who don't switch.
After all, changing jobs is also a way of showing the sect our attitude.
Moreover, the treasures of a sect are indeed quite rare.
Ye Jingcheng glanced over and saw that even Law Treasure could be exchanged.
However, Ye Jingcheng naturally couldn't exchange for that. Instead, he found Soul-Nourishing Grass and Spring-Returning Flower, and after exchanging them for enough materials to refine two sets, Ye Jingcheng left satisfied.
