Purple Jade Soul Tablet; Questions at the Ceremony

A swift shuttle glides across the long coastline, as the first rays of dawn peek through the distance.

Ye Jingcheng stood at the bow of the ship, feeling the sea breeze and hearing the roar of the waves. Although life in the Azure Cloud Sea Region was not as peaceful as the morning in the mountains.

But even on days with raging storms, Ye Jingcheng could still experience a unique kind of joy.

His gaze fell on the horizon, where Purplewood Island slowly came into view.

On the island, a purple glow filled the air, and countless smoke dragons soared into the sky, coalescing into a magnificent spectacle.

The entire island was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

Ye Jingcheng knew in his heart that this was the upcoming celebration ceremony of the Purplewood Sect.

On the surface, the Yun Family remained unchanged, maintaining absolute rule over the Skycloud Archipelago, while the Purplewood Sect, Mystic Sword Pavilion, and Vast Righteousness Chamber of Commerce annexed the Jade Chu Sect.

Of course, the pretext was that Greenfish Island was destroyed, dozens of dragon fish went missing, and they have never been found.

Even the Yun Family was rumored to be colluding with Devil Cultivator Jade Chu Sect, while the Purplewood Sect and Mystic Sword Pavilion were not particularly special.

Ye Jingcheng went onto the island from the side, but did not go to the dock.

There were too many cultivators at the dock. For Ye Jingcheng, it was enough that he didn't enter the power struggle in the Azure Cloud Sea Region. His previous disguise was sufficient.

He's currently staying safely at the Purplewood Sect, and will find an opportunity to go to the Hidden Island.

Of course, before that, Ye Jingcheng needed to share some treasures with Ye Haicheng, and at the same time, he also needed to purchase enough spirit medicine.

He wanted to collect all the auxiliary materials for pills such as the first-tier Moon Spirit Pill, the second-tier Moon Spirit Pill Thunder Rhinoceros Pill, the second-tier Roc Fish Pill, the second-tier Golden Falcon Pill Jade-Scale Pill, the third-tier Jade Scale Pill, and the third-tier Golden Scale Pill.

This way, he could hunt demons and refine pills at the same time on the Hidden Island.

After gathering all the materials, he still needs to prepare some materials for third-tier spirit pills to raise his alchemy skills to the third tier as well.

After all, he has never refined a third-tier spirit pill so far.

However, he possessed quite a few Pill Formula, such as the Blackwater Pill to enhance the cultivation of Water Attribute Purple Mansion cultivators, the Profound Mystic Flame Pill to enhance the cultivation of Fire Attribute Purple Mansion cultivators, and even the Golden Bright Pill to enhance the cultivation of Metal Attribute cultivators. These were all third-tier entry-level spiritual pills.

All you need is the inner core of a powerful demon of the corresponding attribute to refine it.

As for auxiliary materials, they might not have been easy to collect before, but now the Ye Family can be said to have gathered the spirit medicine resources of the Yun Family, Jade Chu Sect, and Purplewood Sect. For Ye Jingcheng, it just means that he needs to spend some time on Purplewood Island.

The thick smoke over Purplewood Island started in the Purplewood Sect Square.

At that moment, five purple wood incense burners were lit.

Five plumes of smoke rose, creating a more spectacular sight than when viewed from outside the island.

Some of the newly recruited cultivators of the Purplewood Sect were even shocked by the scene.

Elder An Yuhuai was also in the square at that moment. He saw a new disciple and gave him a few words of advice, feeling extremely proud.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng was about to avoid it and try to dodge it from the side, but he didn't expect that An Yuhuai was so dedicated that he even released his Divine Sense at this moment.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng walk by, he also came over.

"Fellow Daoist Tang, although you are exceptionally talented and outstanding at a young age, the strength of a sect does not depend on the strength of cultivators like us. You must not waste your time and neglect your cultivation. I think..." An Yuhuai's words left Ye Jingcheng speechless.

After all, it seems that what the other party said makes sense.

Ye Jingcheng could only nod in agreement twice, and under the pretext of reporting important matters, he crossed the square and entered the main hall.

Ye Xingliu was discussing some important matters of the ceremony with the others when he saw Ye Jingcheng arrive. He waved for the others to leave.

Once only the two of them were inside, Ye Jingyu activated the Array within the main hall, and then transmitted his voice:

"Jingcheng, your elixir is truly effective! My Jade-Scale Snake has entered the advancement stage, radiating spiritual light. I estimate it will soon break through to the late stage of the second tier!"

"Fourth Brother is joking. The Jade-Scale Snake itself has quite a talent!" Ye Jingcheng waved his hand, then handed the Jade Slip containing the records of the sea area to Ye Jingyu.

There are some Spirit Stone mines and spirit ore mines inside.

Because the profits were insufficient, Ye Jingcheng didn't have time to mine, but he could arrange for the Purplewood Sect cultivators to mine if given the opportunity to Ye Jingyu.

Even if the Ye Family loses cultivators from the Purplewood Sect, they won't feel bad about it.

The majority of the resources were seized by the Ye Family.

"There will be a ceremony and trade fair later. You should also show up and keep an eye on the Mystic Sword Pavilion and Vast Righteousness Chamber of Commerce for me!" Ye Jingyu said.

These words clearly indicated their concern about being discovered by the other party that they were from the Ye Family.

Although the Green River Sect and the Ye Family do not cooperate, the Ye Family comes from the Beast Wasteland, and being too close to them always raises some concerns.

Even the Earth Dragon Demon King hasn't broken through yet, Ye Family must be even more careful.

Ye Jingyu wasn't afraid if only one person came, but he was afraid that both the Mystic Sword Pavilion and the Vast Righteousness Chamber of Commerce would send people.

Many Clan Elder of the Ye Family, despite being cultivators from Hidden Island and extremely shrewd and adept at disguise, cannot tolerate anyone being better than Ye Jingcheng Ye Jingyu in their dealings with people and matters.

As for Ye Haicheng and Ye Xingliu, they were even less likely to be recognized. In the Yan Kingdom, they were openly members of the Ye Family, making them easy to spot.

Ye Jingcheng nodded.

He then left the main hall and went to Ye Haicheng's underground courtyard. After learning that Ye Haicheng was refining a weapon, Ye Jingcheng left a communication talisman and placed a storage bracelet in a hidden clasp at the door of Ye Haicheng's room.

Next, go to the Purplewood Sect's Treasure Pavilion and exchange all the spirit medicine.

To Ye Jingcheng's surprise, his Purplewood Sect token still contained 150,000 contribution points.

It should be noted that after the battle on Peachcloud Island, his Lineage gave him 150,000 contribution points, and including the contribution points he received when he broke through to the Golden Core stage, he now has 450,000.

The sheer amount of money startled Ye Jingcheng.

But ultimately, these were contribution points applied for for him by his Lineage.

However, Ye Jingcheng knew that he would use them quickly. Ye Haicheng would need a lot of contribution points to refine the Blazing Flame Fan, the Heavenly Sand Seal Law Treasure, and even the third-tier flying boat Law Treasure for him.

After exchanging the treasures, Ye Jingcheng returned to his room and opened the storage bracelet that Ye Xuecang had given him.

Previously, he hadn't had time to spare, and by the time Ye Xuecang arrived at the Skycloud Archipelago, Ye Jingcheng would need to be wary of dangers at sea.

It's been like this ever since.

As soon as the storage bracelet was opened, Ye Jingcheng looked at the treasures inside, illuminated by several Treasure Radiance, and a smile appeared on his face.

It contains Pill Formula, Law Treasures, and Spirit Material.

The Law Treasure among them is a Purple Jade Soul Token.

The mid-grade magic Law Treasure used to Divine Soul Divine Sense was indeed very useful to Ye Jingcheng.

Although his Divine Sense has now reached the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion, there are too many talented and extraordinary cultivators in the Purple Mansion realm. Having more treasures would also reduce some risks.

Besides the Purple Jade Soul Token, there was also a Purple Jade Cold Bed.

This Law Treasure is even more special, and it is somewhat similar to the Supreme Clarity Spirit-Guarding Art bestowed upon him by the Tianfu True Person.

They all have the effects of Jingxin the mind and nourishing the spirit, suppressing Heart Demon, and also enhancing the ability to think about and study Pill Formula.

Inside the Jade Slip were several Pill Formulas and Secret Method.

Among the Pill Formula were all third-tier Pill Formula the Ye Family had never had before, and the Secret Method was a soul-searching technique, which was equally precious and extraordinary.

Ye Jingcheng then looked at the Spirit Material, and saw that they contained the main ingredients of the spirit medicine Ye Jingcheng had previously searched for, as well as some auxiliary ingredients.

Unfortunately, Ye Jingcheng had almost all of these things, but fortunately, Ye Jingcheng was given some leeway.

Besides the spirit medicine, there were also some Spirit Material from the Heavenly Sand Seal.

Ye Jingcheng was deeply moved.

These treasures are definitely not ordinary.

Some of the Ye Xuecang could use, but he gave them all to Ye Jingcheng.

This also shows how much his Lineage values him.

After organizing the treasures, Ye Jingcheng left the hall. By now, the sun had moved into the zenith, and the Pill Furnace in the Purple Wood Square were burning at their maximum. Many pavilions had already been placed in the distance.

Many cultivators had already arrived at the pavilion to participate in the celebration.

However, among these cultivators, the proportion of Rogue Cultivator is relatively small.

In the Cultivation World, there are generally three types of celebrations. One is the Dao attainment celebration, which is the most popular and often features cultivators giving sermons.

The second type of celebration is the establishment and prosperity ceremony of a sect, which is more commonly attended by cultivation sects.

The third type of celebration is birthday banquets and weddings.

The Purplewood Sect falls into the second category this time.

All kinds of spiritual wines and fruits were prepared in abundance.

However, the opening ceremony and speeches were extremely boring. Ye Jingcheng landed in a pavilion belonging to a Foundation Establishment cultivator, eating spiritual fruits, and appeared quite mercenary.

After all, he was Rogue Cultivator joined a sect, which makes more sense.

"Master Yun Baiyuan of the Yun Family presents a third-tier Purple Divine Jade as a special gift to celebrate the Purplewood Sect's annihilation of the Demonic Sect!"

"Fairy Wu Xin of the Mystic Sword Pavilion presents a second-grade top-quality Open Source Stone as a special gift to celebrate the Purplewood Sect's annihilation of the Demonic Sect!"

"Manager Xiao of the Vast Righteousness Chamber of Commerce presents a second-tier Purple Cloud Flame Fiend as a special gift to celebrate the Purplewood Sect's annihilation of the Demon Sect!"

As the three voices rang out, almost all the most important forces in the Skycloud Archipelago had arrived.

Moreover, this time, unlike Peachcloud Island, those who came were all minor figures.

All the cultivators this time are the main force of their respective families.

Of course, what surprised Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu even more was Yun Baiyuan.

Yun Baiyuan was considered an extremely outstanding cultivator in the Yun Family. He had already reached the early stage of the Purple Mansion, but he focused on cultivation and did not concern himself with worldly affairs.

Ye Jingcheng initially thought that the Yun Family would only send one Foundation Establishment.

But now it seems that the Yun Family cultivators have figured something out.

"Senior Baiyuan, Elder Zimu is still in seclusion to heal his injuries, so only I can entertain you!" Ye Jingyu invited Yun Baiyuan inside.

The remaining tasks of Fairy Wu Xin and Steward Xiao fell to Ye Jingcheng and An Yuhuai.

Of course, the main person entertained was An Yuhuai, Ye Jingcheng was just a replacement cultivator.

"Elder An, this Fellow Daoist Tang looks a bit unfamiliar. Could he be a newly accepted disciple of Purplewood Master? Would you be so kind as to introduce him?" The first to speak was Steward Xiao, who had a fat head and big ears, a ruddy complexion, and eyes that were narrowed to slits.

They appear harmless.

But this question hit the nail on the head, inquiring about Ye Jingcheng's background.

"He is indeed a disciple of Martial Uncle Zimu, and he hasn't been a member of the sect for very long!"

"Fairy Wu, Steward Xiao, please forgive any mistakes in the future!" Ye Jingcheng also cupped his hands in greeting.

"Elder An, I heard that you are extremely important in the Purplewood Sect and cannot spare the time to manage other affairs. I am about to discuss some cooperation. Could Fellow Daoist Tang make the decision?" Steward Xiao continued.
