Golden-Clawed Sea Heron; Legacy of the Spirit Pill Token

This island is by no means outstanding or particularly good in the entire sea area.

Ye Jingcheng's Divine Sense also reached the island. After repeatedly finding nothing amiss, he took out the Spirit Diagram and, after confirming it three times, frowned and sent a Five Poison Bee over.

In fact, the Five Poison Bee are not very effective in the Azure Cloud Sea Region. Many spirit fish or Demon Beast can leap out of the water and swallow the Five Poison Bee whole.

That's why he had the idea of breeding Roc Fish.

The next moment, to Ye Jingcheng's delight, Black-Armored Scorpion began to appear on the distant island.

The Five Poison Bee and the Black-Armored Scorpion were extremely conspicuous on the island, but for the Ye Family members, seeing each other was enough to prove a lot.

This island is indeed the Ye Family's Hidden Island, but it's unclear whether this is its true nature or if the Ye Family has concealed it using Array.

If the former is true, it means that his ninth great-uncle and third uncle's place in the sea area wasn't very good, and that they had somewhat delayed their cultivation environment in order to hide themselves.

But if it's the latter, it means the Ye Family possesses Array he couldn't even imagine.

Ye Jingcheng was somewhat aware of this; Ye Xuefan a third-tier high-grade Array, so it was normal for him to refine some array plates.

Therefore, the latter is more likely.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng put away the Five Poison Bee and the Spirit Shuttle, and then swallowed a Black Scorpion Pill.

These Black-Armored Scorpion are numerous, numbering at least tens of thousands. The Blood Pact they use is naturally a mother-child Blood Pact, primarily to control the insect king, and incidentally to control the other Black-Armored Scorpion.

Therefore, these Black-Armored Scorpion are extremely ferocious, and if I remember correctly, the Black-Armored Scorpion colony is controlled by Ye Xueliang is currently guarding the Ye Family's Teleportation Array.

The Black Scorpion Pill emits an aura that prevents the Black-Armored Scorpion from attacking him.

As they got closer, Ye Jingcheng was able to observe more clearly.

The entire island is covered with countless wormholes.

The surface was pitted and uneven, like a honeycomb.

These Black-Armored Scorpion were even darker and more translucent than when he first went to Sandcloud Hide, and they were also much larger than before.

"Beast Shadows!" At this moment, no other figures appeared on the island, and the Black-Armored Scorpion all took flight.

These Black-Armored Scorpion all have a thin layer of insect wings, which are not enough to fly far, but are sufficient for gliding and short-distance flight.

It is precisely because of these insect wings that these Black-Armored Scorpion are even more intimidating.

They flew through the air, forming specific patterns.

This is a procedure prescribed by the Ye Family's Inner Hall.

Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng pulled up his sleeve, revealing a small portion of the Beast-Link Mark.

The Spiritual Qi on the island suddenly dissipated, and the next moment, a cave suddenly appeared. At the entrance of the cave, Ye Xuefu and Ye Xingliu stood in the Azure Cloud Sea Region.

Both of them have improved considerably in their breathing.

They've all reached the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Ye Xuefu had reached the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and his opponent's alchemy skills were no less than Ye Jingcheng's.

For the Ye Family, this is of even greater significance.

This also shows that the Ye Family has indeed gained more room to maneuver in the Azure Cloud Sea Region.

Unlike the Taihang Mountain Range of the Yan Kingdom, they faced three Demon Kings with clearly defined territories.

They also need to be wary of the Taiyi Sect's patrols and information leaks.

However, this wouldn't happen in the Outer Sea of Azure Cloud Sea Region. Even if someone here thinks the Ye Family's strength is ridiculously high, they would only assume that the Ye Family has obtained some kind of inheritance, and would not think that the Ye Family are descendants of the Beast Wasteland and have a secret treasure behind them.

The difference may seem small, but in reality, it's a matter of whether True Person or True Lord can notice the difference in the Ye Family.

"Tang Cheng, come in!" Ye Jingcheng's identity had been planned long ago, so Ye Xingliu and Ye Xuefu were naturally aware of it.

However, Ye Jingcheng did not move and remained standing there.

Only after Ye Xingliu also displayed the Beast-Link Mark did Ye Jingcheng step into the island.

In the Outer Sea, schemes, traps, elaborate cave abode dwellings, and illusions are used to impersonate others—the list goes on and on.

Ye Jingcheng had no choice but to be careful.

Once inside Sandcloud Island, Ye Jingcheng finally sensed that the Spiritual Qi in the cave abode was not weak.

Roughly estimated, it has reached at least the strength of a mid-tier second-order item.

Although the Spirit Vein is not very strong, it is still considered luxurious to only accommodate two Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators.

The classification of Spirit Vein mainly focuses on the purity of the Spirit Vein Spiritual Qi within them. If fewer cultivators absorb the Spiritual Qi, the increased amount of Spiritual Qi will significantly increase the purity.

As for creating a second-tier high-grade Spirit Vein, it's somewhat unnecessary. The cost is very high, and it's difficult to recoup the initial investment in the Outer Sea.

"Ninth Grand Uncle, Third Uncle, this is what I brought for you from the Yan Kingdom!" Ye Jingcheng entered the cave abode, but didn't say anything sentimental. He simply took out a storage bracelet for each of them.

They offered some second-tier Floating Cloud Tea, some spirit apricots, Star-Eating Fish Spirit Beast meat, and some spirit pills.

Once inside the Array, Ye Jingcheng no longer concealed his identity.

After all, the chances of it being exposed now are almost zero.

"Xinghan, that child, has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel," Ye Xuefu said with some emotion.

When the Xing generation was young, the Xue generation of the Ye Family did not completely disappear into the shadows.

So after hearing that Ye Xinghan had also broken through to the Foundation Establishment, some images couldn't help but flash through his mind.

Finally, looking at Ye Jingcheng:

"Jingcheng, you did a great job!"

Ye Xuefu doesn't often praise people. He has cultivated Blood-Eye Pupil, and there are not many cultivators or even clansmen who can catch his eye.

But this time, even with the previous head of the Soaring Cloud Peak family right beside him, Ye Xuefu still spoke up.

"You flatter me, Ninth Uncle. The change in the Lineage's situation and the successful whitewashing are all thanks to the efforts of the elders," Ye Jingcheng replied modestly.

"No need to be overly modest. As for Demon Beast meat, there's no need to prepare too much; there's no shortage of Spirit Beast meat here!" The two led Ye Jingcheng into the cave.

An underground hall had long been built here.

Spirit Patterns are engraved on both sides of the hall.

Strangely, these Spirit Patterns all have a concealment effect, clearly corresponding one-to-one with the external Array.

"This is the Cloud-Hiding Spirit-Hiding Grand Formation researched by your fourth great-uncle!"

"No ordinary late-stage Purple Mansion can detect this unless they get close!" Ye Xuefu, seeing Ye Jingcheng's curious expression.

There aren't many True Person and Demon King wreaking havoc in the Outer Sea, so possessing this Array makes it unlikely to be exposed.

Even if someone discovers this Array, they will assume that there are high-level cultivators on the island, and thus leave out of fear.

"Jingcheng, it's just in time for you to come. With you here, we now have the strength of the Purple Mansion cultivator. Even if we face some powerful Purple Mansion demons, it's not hopeless!" Ye Xingliu said from the side.

Although both of them are at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, with their Spirit Beast and backup plans, they could probably hold their own against the Purple Mansion cultivator for a while.

But in the Outer Sea, unless there's an 80% chance, the Ye Family wouldn't gamble, much less risk it.

In the Outer Sea, injury often means death. There are too many hunters and high-level demons, so you are very likely to be targeted and even wiped out.

This is why many Rogue Cultivator join sects; after all, there are certain constraints among fellow disciples.

Hearing Ye Xingliu say this, Ye Jingcheng felt a sense of anticipation, which meant that Ye Xingliu already had a goal.

Although the Outer Sea vary in distance, there are still Demon Beast there.

Given the cautious approach of the Ye Family members, as long as there is Hidden Island, the Spirit Beast within thousands of miles of the surrounding sea should already be marked on the Spirit Diagram.

"Let's put that aside for now. Let's try the local delicacies and welcome Jingcheng back." Ye Xuefu shook his head.

As they spoke, the three of them arrived at the courtyard on the first basement level.

The Spiritual Qi here is even more abundant, and there is a huge Spirit Gathering Formation in the middle.

In addition, a spirit plum tree was planted. This plum tree is one of the few spirit trees that are relatively abundant in the Eastern Sea, and its plums are much larger than those in the Yan Kingdom.

There was only a stone table under the plum tree. After Ye Jingcheng sat down, Ye Xuefu began to prepare the spiritual meal.

Ye Jingcheng tried to help several times, but was glared at and refused.

This time it's still the Spirit Sheep Feast. This is a kind of Spirit Beast that the Ye Family specially raises. It can enhance a cultivator's Qi and Blood and blood, and its effect is somewhat similar to that of the Star-Eating Fish -Star-Eating Fish.

Once the spiritual meal was ready, Ye Jingcheng took out the second-grade Floating Cloud Tea and began brewing it.

Once everything was ready, the three of them raised the spirit tea together and drank it, which added a touch of flavor and made Ye Jingcheng feel even warmer.

"Jingcheng, how many third-tier Spirit Beast do you have now?" At this moment, Ye Xuefu asked the most crucial question.

Ye Jingcheng had only recently broken through to the third rank, so in their eyes, he might not have even found Law Treasure and could only rely on the Lineage's to make up the difference.

However, that would mean their combat strength would be extremely limited. Conversely, if there were many third-tier Spirit Beast, their combat strength would be vastly different.

They speculated that Ye Jingcheng possessed at least one third-tier Spirit Beast.

"Three of them. Even if we include the Purple Sun Demon Corpse, that's only five Purple Mansion combatants. We still need to be careful!" Ye Jingcheng said cautiously.

In his view, the Outer Sea was so dangerous.

Even in a five-on-one or seven-on-one situation, you still need to overwhelm the opponent and plan carefully.

We must not be careless.

Otherwise, the chances of the boat capsizing are too high.

"Cough!" Ye Xuefu and Ye Xingliu were both stunned by Ye Jingcheng's calm words. After exchanging a glance, they coughed twice.

They were over a hundred years older than Ye Jingcheng, yet the latter not only surpassed them in cultivation but also left them far behind in the cultivation of Spirit Beast.

"Then let's go check out this spirit island. There's a Golden-Clawed Sea Heron here, at the early stage of the third rank. It hasn't been on this island long. As long as we plan well, we can kill it!" Ye Xingliu couldn't wait to take out the Spirit Diagram.

As for rest and adjustment, that won't be delayed.

The Ye Family has always planned carefully before making decisions.

"There must be something else on this island, otherwise the Golden-Clawed Sea Heron wouldn't have come here."

"Then let's go with this Golden-Clawed Sea Heron." Ye Jingcheng nodded upon seeing this.

Although starting with a powerful demon at the Purple Mansion seemed a bit rushed, it was a good choice for Ye Jingcheng, since Ye Xuecang would be breaking through in a few months.

The more powerful demons we kill, the easier it will be for Ye Xuecang.

With the decision made, the next step is to discuss how to handle some minor details.

After they had discussed it, the two of them also took a look at Ye Jingcheng's three Purple Mansion Spirit Beast.

After reading it, the two were even more deeply shocked and more confident in their next move.

The Golden Falcon's speed, the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon's close-quarters combat, and the Crimson Flame Fox's long-range attacks.

This lineup is strong enough to withstand even mid-stage Purple Mansion level Demon Beast.

After discussing the matter, Ye Jingcheng intended to go back and meditate for a while, but then he saw Ye Xuefu looking at him.

He was then led into a nearby alchemy room.

"Let's try the elixir from the Eastern Sea," Ye Xuefu said.

Ye Jingcheng's alchemy skills were half from Ye Haiyun and half from Ye Xuefu.

The Perfect Furnace also contains Six-Part Alchemy Method and the Spirit-Enhancing Secret Art, all taught by Ye Xuefu.

The other party clearly wants to test Ye Jingcheng to see if he has neglected his alchemy skills over the years.

Ye Jingcheng nodded in agreement.

He then took out the second-tier top-grade Pill Furnace, the Heavenly Bell Furnace, and immediately began refining pills within it.

It was refined into a second-grade superior Ren Water Pill.

Ye Jingcheng had been refining this elixir for a long time and was extremely skilled at it, so the refining process was not slow. Finally, the elixir was produced in the furnace.

The seven sky-blue pills were full of spiritual luster, and one of them even had a faint layer of pill patterns.

"Seven spirit pills, one pill pattern, and six spirit incense sticks!" Ye Xuefu said with satisfaction.

"You have surpassed me. This is the Lineage's Spirit Pill Token, officially handed over to you!" Just then, Ye Xuefu took out a spirit jade token.

The token was not large, only about the size of a palm, and was engraved with layers of beast shadows.

"This is the Lineage's alchemy heritage. Apart from my third uncle, only the most skilled Alchemist can possess it."

"Now, I have no reason to keep him any longer. I look forward to seeing the Lineage's second third-tier Alchemist in many years." Ye Xuefu continued, seeing the puzzled look on Ye Jingcheng's face.

Ye Xuefu's third uncle was no ordinary man; he was also a member of the Sheng generation in the Ye Family, Ye Shengyi.

However, according to his understanding, Ancestor Ye Shengyi did not have much lifespan and seemed to be recuperating from injuries.

Of course, his cultivation level had not reached that of a Golden True Person.

Ye Jingcheng accepted the spirit jade token and then discovered that it was connected to the Lineage token, as well as several inheritances.

The records are all Pill Formula.

These Pill Formula encompass all the first and second-tier Pill Formula of the Ye Family, as well as several third-tier and even Fourth Stage Pill Formula Pill Formula, including the Pill Formula for the Gold Condensation Pill.

Ye Jingcheng was stunned by what he saw.

But considering that the Lineage's lineage originated from the Beast Wasteland, it's understandable.

Of course, his strongest feeling at that moment was joy.

After the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon and the Crimson Flame Fox Golden Falcon broke through to the third rank, consuming Ren Water Pill, Fire Beast Pill Golden King Pill would no longer have much effect.

Now we can use third-tier spirit pills to make up for it and continue to increase our cultivation speed.

This is also the true foundation of the Lineage.

"If you need any spirit medicine in the future, you can issue this Spirit Pill Token and have your clansmen help you collect them!" Ye Xuefu continued.

There wasn't the slightest bit of regret in his eyes about losing the Spirit Pill Token.

On the contrary, I feel immense pride.

"Keep up the good work. The reason why there are so few Purple Mansion cultivators in the Lineage is actually related to the fact that the Lineage does not have any powerful third-tier Alchemist." Ye Xuefu patted Ye Jingcheng on the shoulder.

That area is already quite spacious.

This is enough to put the Ye Family at ease.

Inside the room, Ye Xuefu came out, while Ye Jingcheng continued to look at the Spirit Jade Token.

Besides the Pill Formula, it also contains the Ye Family's historical experience in alchemy.

This greatly boosted Ye Jingcheng's confidence in refining the third-tier Golden Scale Pill and the third-tier Jade-Scale Pill.

It should be noted that he had already collected all of the two types of Advancement Pill, and was only missing a single Cold-Nurturing Grass for the latter.

A few more days passed, and during these days, Ye Jingcheng's Spirit Beast, under the guidance of Ye Xuefu and Ye Xueliang, trained many times.

After all the beasts and Ye Jingcheng had adapted to fighting at sea, the three of them also rode the spirit shuttle and headed towards the depths of the Outer Sea!
