Liu Huan of Hundred Flowers Valley; the Feather Transformation Sect Appears Again

After reciting the Supreme Clarity Spirit-Nourishing Art for a whole morning, Ye Jingcheng walked out of the Daoist hall. At this moment, he was blessed by the Heavenly Horn Tea and the Nourishing Spirit Technique.

His whole body relaxed considerably, and his energy and spirit were at their peak. If he were to refine pills in this state, he was confident that he could increase the success rate by 10%.

At the same time, if he looked inward, he would find that the wood elemental Spiritual Qi among the four Spiritual Qi was more abundant. He had a feeling that if he could completely refine that Spiritual Qi...

Those few cups of tea are worth more than months of arduous practice.

It should be noted that he is currently in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and every step forward is extremely difficult.

After leaving the Daoist temple, Ye Jingcheng took his leave.

He had already gained a lot today. As for the Red Jade Spirit-Slaying Art, Ye Jingcheng had learned from Taihao Master that it was not only a profound Secret Method for killing.

It is also a Secret Method that is extremely helpful for alchemy.

Even Taihao Master couldn't learn it. Of course, it wasn't that Taihao Master lacked talent, but rather that this Spirit Severing Technique was more suitable for Alchemist.

It is also quite beneficial when refining elixirs.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng couldn't figure out how a Secret Method of killing could be connected to alchemy.

But at least, after breaking through to the Purple Mansion, there is still some expectation for this.

Ye Jingcheng left Skyhorn Peak under the cover of sunset, still holding a token and a Jade Slip in his hand.

The token belongs to Taiyi Illusion Peak. Except for some important peaks and Spirit Herb Garden, Ye Jingcheng can roam freely in the Taichang Mountain Range.

The Jade Slip contained information about Ye Jingteng's cave abode.

After Ye Jingteng broke through to the Foundation Establishment, he also had his own mountain peak. Ye Jingcheng had never been here before, but now that he had come to Illusion Peak, it would be inappropriate for him not to go.

Moreover, Ye Jingcheng still wanted Ye Jingteng to help him exchange some treasures.

He had almost finished collecting the Purple Palace Jade Liquid spirit medicine, but the Purple-Condensing Spirit Liquid was still missing a few spirit medicine.

He had exchanged it at the Taiyi Sect before; if he went to other people, he might be exposed.

Soon, he arrived at Illusion Grain Mountain, where Ye Jingteng was located.

As Foundation Establishment cultivator, Ye Jingteng naturally couldn't let the mountain name him.

Furthermore, Illusion Grain Mountain is also home to a second-tier top-grade Spirit Vein, so there are a total of three cultivators residing here.

Ye Jingteng was just one of them. Looking at the lush and beautiful mountain peaks in front of him, Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but feel a little envious.

He had no idea when the Ye Family would be able to build one Spirit Mountain after another.

The defining characteristic of this group of Spirit Mountain is the presence of a large Spirit Vein running through the entire mountain range.

Only when there are Spirit Vein can the effect of the Taichang Mountain Range be achieved.

If the Ye Family wants to achieve this in the future, they will have a long way to go, unless they directly replace the Taiyi Sect.

Upon thinking of this, Ye Jingcheng shook his head repeatedly, discarding the unrealistic idea.

A communication Spirit Talisman in his hand had already floated into the mountain.

However, there was no response from the mountains for a long time, as if they were in seclusion.

After leaving behind a telepathic Spirit Talisman, Ye Jingcheng could only leave helplessly.

Logically speaking, the fact that Taihao Master gave him the Jade Slip should have meant that Ye Jingteng was not in seclusion, but since there was no response, Ye Jingcheng shouldn't have stayed here indefinitely.

Of course, in the Spirit Talisman he left behind, he mixed the necessary spirit medicine with other spirit medicine to make it look like he was refining an ordinary second-tier elixir.

I'll exchange it for him after Ye Jingteng comes out of seclusion.

He then left directly.

At Illusion Grain Mountain, Ye Jingteng landed in the courtyard, his face full of bitterness, his eyes somewhat red, and he held the Array flag in his hand, but ultimately did not activate it.

His breathing also became turbulent.

He had assumed that if Ye Jingcheng could break through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, he could also quickly break through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

After all, he was in the Taichang Mountain Range, and in terms of Spiritual Qi and resources, Ye Jingcheng was far superior to him.

His Cultivation Method is also inferior.

Unexpectedly, Ye Jingcheng succeeded in breaking through, while he failed. In fact, if he hadn't prepared the pills, he might have suffered serious injuries.

This is why he doesn't want to see Ye Jingcheng today.

It's important to know that when he broke through to the Foundation Establishment, Ye Jingcheng was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Now, Ye Jingcheng has surpassed him and reached the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

He even failed to break through, and his cultivation level almost regressed.

"Are spirits really that powerful?" Ye Jingteng murmured to himself. He walked to his room and put away the Jade Slip.

Although he didn't want to see Ye Jingcheng, he would still help Ye Jingcheng obtain the spirit medicine.

In his mind, the only way to revitalize the Ye Family Lineage was to absorb the blood of the sect.

Standing on the shoulders of giants is always better than going it alone.

He just felt that no one in his Lineage understood him, and Ye Jingcheng could only be considered half of one.

Ye Jingteng then used his Divine Sense to look again and saw a Storage Bag outside the Array of his cave abode.

Then, his face lit up with joy, and he walked to the side to put away the Storage Bag.

Inside, there were three Jade Soul Pills, a considerable amount of Spirit Stone, and a significant amount of Fire-Pattern Sinking Iron.

Ye Jingcheng flew over the Taichang Mountain Range again. Of course, he only referred to the Spirit Diagram and dared not extend his Divine Sense, since there were quite a few Purple Mansion and Foundation Establishment here.

If he truly offends them, he'll be the one who suffers.

Tianfu True Person has high hopes for him, but he estimates that there will be more members of the Taiyi Sect Clan who want to search his soul.

Ye Jingcheng finally stopped in front of a valley of a hundred flowers.

This Hundred Flowers Valley is not a Spirit Herb Garden, but a rare cave abode within the Illusion Peak area.

This was also Liu Huan's cave cave abode.

Liu Huan had previously helped the Ye Family, and the latter had unlimited potential; breaking through to the Purple Mansion was only a matter of time.

Having had the opportunity last time, Ye Jingcheng naturally wanted to make more contact.

The most important thing in interpersonal relationships is the exchange itself.

Even for ordinary white fox Demon Beast, their most beautiful period isn't very long; not all Demon Beast have long lifespans.

The lifespan of an ordinary white fox is only about twenty years.

Ye Jingcheng also sent in a telepathic Spirit Talisman.

To his surprise, he received a response almost immediately.

Liu Huan also led Ye Jingcheng into the Valley of a Hundred Flowers, where a hundred flowers were indeed in full bloom.

However, Ye Jingcheng discovered that most of the flowers in bloom were ordinary flowers, with only about ten being spiritual flowers.

The remaining common flowers seem more like filler.

"Fairy Liu, I came to visit my cousin today, but unfortunately he is not here. I happened to be passing by Fairy Liu's Hundred Flowers Valley. I have long heard of your name but have never met you. I thought I would repay your kindness from that day. I hope you will not find it inconvenient." Ye Jingcheng asked tentatively, and was exceptionally humble and polite.

Ye Jingcheng is not very old, so his performance is not surprising.

Liu Huan, on the other hand, appeared equally ordinary; her eyes, like willow leaves, remained strikingly beautiful.

However, upon closer inspection, one can still sense a coldness that keeps people at a distance.

For Ye Jingcheng, this rejection was of no concern.

At this point, what he hoped for even more was for the Ye Family to be branded with the Illusion Peak name, and to be branded even more deeply.

Previously, the Lineage had been too isolated from the Taiyi Sect, which caused them to be constantly restrained by others.

Of course, he also knew that the Lineage's previous situation was due to suspicion.

The Lineage has hidden too many clansmen in the Taihang Mountain Range. If they get too involved and are discovered, the Ye Family's centuries of forbearance will be destroyed in an instant.

On the contrary, Ye Jingcheng doesn't need to worry too much now.

"I don't mind. It just so happens that my cultivation has recently stagnated. I've long heard of Fellow Daoist Ye's extraordinary talent. How about we exchange some insights on breakthroughs?" Liu Huan poured Ye Jingcheng a sip of spiritual wine.

This wine is extraordinary; it carries the fragrance of a hundred kinds of flowers, seemingly made from rare and precious flowers from elsewhere.

Among the flowers, there are still quite a few small, delicate Demon Beast such as white foxes.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng nodded, equally eager to exchange ideas.

After all, Liu Huan probably knows more about breakthroughs than he does.

He was too embarrassed to ask Taihao Master and Tianfu True Person.

But it's still possible to exchange some ideas with Liu Huan.

"The most important aspect of gathering the soul into the palace is the refinement of the Divine Soul. Fellow Daoist Ye's method of entering the Purple Mansion with the elixir, and my method of entering the Purple Mansion array, are both quite good..."

Liu Huan didn't hide anything, not knowing whether it was Tianfu True Person's instruction or something else, but for Ye Jingcheng, it was ultimately a good thing.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng also shared some of his own insights, especially his imaginative ideas on integrating the Five-Element Heavenly Palace, which captivated Liu Huan.

After their conversation, it was already dusk, and the horizon stretched extremely far away.

Both of them gained a lot. This kind of sharing of experiences without involving Secret Method would not violate the sect's rules or Ye Jingcheng's Lineage rules.

A gentle breeze blew, causing the spirit flowers of Hundred Flowers Valley to sway from side to side.

Near the end, Ye Jingcheng took out a Spirit Beast bag, which contained many Spirit Beasts.

There was even a fox demon with the bloodline of the Arctic Silver Fox inside.

This fox demon can also advance once within Ye Jingcheng's Treasure Book. If resources are sufficient, breaking through to the third rank is not impossible.

"Fairy Liu, these are the latest batch of Spirit Beast from our Ye Family. I believe Illusion Peak has recruited another group of cultivators in recent years."

Upon seeing this, Liu Huan's eyes indeed revealed joy.

But she didn't reach out.

Unlike the higher-ups of Illusion Peak, they genuinely protected the Ye Family's clan mountains and businesses.

These female cultivators, although they possessed some Jinghe and strength.

But ultimately, it was of no benefit to the Ye Family.

"Fairy Liu, if you find this difficult, could you please help me exchange for some spirit medicine?"

"Of course, I will purchase the Spirit Stone at a 20% premium over the market price," Ye Jingcheng said.

Upon hearing this, Liu Huan hesitated.

But I didn't refuse.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally nodded in agreement, her gaze falling on the token hanging at Ye Jingcheng's waist.

"Yes, but not too much."

"Of course, please rest assured, Fairy. I am not a greedy person." Ye Jingcheng was overjoyed and handed over the remaining main ingredients of the third-grade Jade-Scale Pill to Liu Huan.

As a core disciple of the Taiyi Sect, Liu Huan is exceptionally talented and has higher authority than Ye Jingteng.

His intention in giving Ye Jingteng the Jade Soul Pill was to help Ye Jingteng break through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage and increase his authority.

But now, if Liu Huan were to exchange it for him, there would be no need to worry.

The permissions you can gain in exchange for the two are completely different.

Moreover, exchanging them separately would reduce the risk of exposing Ye Jingcheng.

As for Spirit Stone, the higher one's talent, the more lacking Spirit Stone are. For example, Ye Jingcheng himself gained so much in the Desolation-Suppressing Secret Realm, but by the time he breaks through to the Purple Mansion Realm, he will probably have used up most of them.

Furthermore, don't underestimate the Taiyi Sect; the competition within the sect is extremely fierce.

This can be seen from the coverage area of the Taichang Mountain Range of the Taiyi Sect.

The five peaks are separate from each other. The stronger the peak, the larger its area and the better its Spiritual Qi resources.

As a disciple of Illusion Peak, Liu Huan naturally bears considerable pressure.

Even if the sect provides plenty of resources.

However, the sect's original intention was to provide for high-level cultivators.

This will cause a deviation.

Of course, most importantly, he was holding Tianfu True Person's token, clearly indicating that he had just visited Tianfu True Person...

When Ye Jingcheng came out of Hundred Flowers Valley, he had an extra bottle of Hundred Flowers Dew in his hand.

This spirit wine was the weakest spirit wine Ye Jingcheng had ever tasted, but its Spiritual Qi was remarkable, and it was incredibly fragrant.

It's actually quite good to drink it occasionally as a kind of sweet honey water.

Taichang Market, Rogue Cultivator Plaza.

With the auction approaching and another ascension ceremony approaching, the place is once again packed with people.

Monks kept setting up stalls.

Ye Jinghu then looked at those selling Spirit Beast Cubs.

Although he already had four Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle, having tasted the sweetness of success, and with two more five-inch Beast-Link Mark, he was far from content with just four Spirit Insect.

He's currently most interested in Thunder Attribute Spirit Beast Cubs.

However, finding Spirit Beast Cubs is not easy, even in Taichang Market.

Ye Jinghao watched Ye Jinghu keep darting out, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

But he really couldn't say anything about these young geniuses from the Ye Family.

He glanced again at Ye Jingting, who was setting up a stall nearby, and then at Ye Jinghe, who had also disappeared.

He was also somewhat puzzled, as the Lineage Clan Elder should have been the ones to remind the three of this.

But the fact that the three of them are now strolling around the streets as if they were on vacation clearly shows they haven't been reminded.

However, the thought that there wouldn't be any battles between cultivators in Taichang Market eased his anxiety a little.

At the end of a street, Ye Jinghe followed a cultivator in a Spirit-Isolating Robe to the corner.

"Did you find it?"

"Green grass isn't so easy to find, so the price can't be low!" Ye Jinghe said angrily.

It looked like they were actually selling green grass.

"No matter how rare or hard to find the Green Grass is, it's still only a first-tier spiritual herb, not even reaching the second tier. If we can't find it, they'll definitely try to lower the price!" The cultivator in the Spirit-Isolating Robe continued to lower his voice.

"Unless you find a mutated second-tier Green Grass."

"A second-tier Green Grass, how could it possibly wait for me? It was discovered long ago." Ye Jinghe couldn't help but sneer.

The cultivator in the Spirit-Isolating Robe ultimately did not reply.

Instead, he shook his head, turned, and walked into the street, as if the talks had broken down.

Ye Jinghe opened his hand, then closed it again, and clenched the green grass in his hand very tightly, as if he were extremely angry.

They then entered the market area.

Spirit-Isolating Robe removed it, revealing a peaceful Spirit-Isolating Robe. He then wiped his face with his hand, and his appearance changed once again.

He then put on the Spirit-Isolating Robe again and disappeared at the end of the street.

Meanwhile, in the shadows, Ye Xingyi was deeply shocked, for he had seen that person before.

He was clearly Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Feather Transformation Sect who had gone to the Taihang Marketplace to auction off Bloodheart Pill.

He dared not get too close at this moment, and he was also holding a mirror in his hand, in which the scene from just now was still preserved.

As for pursuing them, he didn't pursue them further, for fear of alerting them. He needed to inform Ye Jingcheng as soon as possible.
