The Ye Family's Secret, the Spirit Treasure Tongbao Art

This small shop is called "A Fish Shop," and as the name suggests, it is a fish shop run by Rogue Cultivator.

It is somewhat similar to the layout of the Ye Family's former residence in Taihang Marketplace.

These are all shops run by Rogue Cultivator, selling spirit fish and collecting special Spirit Beast.

It's just that this shop is even more remote.

In Heaven One City, it was inconspicuous, and even Ye Jingcheng wouldn't think that this small shop was related to the Purplewood Sect.

"Second Grand Uncle, Grand Uncle Haihe, this Yun Family..." Ye Jingcheng didn't want to get involved, but he still spoke up.

"It's alright, they're just a little wary, yet unwilling and afraid, that's how it is!" Ye Xuecang replied calmly.

It seemed as if they didn't care at all about Yun Baiyuan and the others' petty actions.

After all, the Ye Family dared to take action because they were certain that the Skycloud Archipelago didn't have any powerful backers, and since the Yun Family didn't have any evidence against them, they couldn't pose a threat to the Ye Family.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, the Ye Family only plans to keep one or two obedient individuals in the Yun Family's Purple Mansion to entertain other forces, and the rest will be replaced by the Ye Family's Purple Mansion.

Just then, Ye Haisheng, Ye Haifei, and Ye Xingliu were breaking through to the Purple Mansion.

Once the three break through, replace them with the remaining three, and leave one person behind. By then, you can replace them with a core Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Sooner or later, the entire Yun Family will become a puppet of the Ye Family, just like the Purplewood Sect.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng was no longer worried about the situation in the Azure Cloud Sea Region.

Operating in the sea is simpler compared to the countries of the Eastern Region, since there are no true Nascent Soul cultivators patrolling here at any time.

Given the Ye Family's cautious approach, the only potential problem lies with the Azure Spirit Commerce Association.

After all, we lost one Golden Core cultivator, but we expect a new one will come along.

"Jingcheng, this is mainly your business now!" Ye Xuecang said. Hearing this, Ye Haihe took the initiative to come out of the room and stood at the door to watch over the two of them.

"I hope my second great-uncle can enlighten me!" Ye Jingcheng also cupped his hands in greeting.

"First, under no circumstances should you go to the Taichang Mountain Range again!" Ye Xuecang said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng was taken aback.

But then he nodded.

"No matter how confident you are or how many backup plans you have, you must never go up the Taichang Mountain Range again!"

Ye Xuecang repeatedly reminded him.

The Taichang Mountain Range are considered the territory of the Taiyi Sect. Once you go to the Taichang Mountain Range, even the Earth Dragon Demon King is powerless against you.

If Tianfu True Person harbors evil intentions and is a hungry tiger, then as soon as Ye Jingcheng reveals the aroma of meat, several such hungry tigers could instantly emerge from the Taichang Mountain Range.

"If we really need to call on you, we can release the information about the ceremony in advance, or even the wedding, and have him complete the apprentice-acceptance ceremony on Soaring Cloud Peak!" Ye Xuecang said again.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng nod, Ye Xuefan then took out another Jade Slip.

It was handed over to Ye Jingcheng.

This Jade Slip is not an ordinary spirit jade, but an extremely rare yellow jade. Moreover, many Spirit Patterns that Ye Jingcheng did not recognize are engraved on the Jade Slip.

Clearly, there are some special magic arrays on this Jade Slip.

Ye Jingcheng took the Jade Slip, and his Divine Sense inadvertently glanced at Jade Slip. The next moment, Ye Jingcheng was filled with doubt.

The Jade Slip contained only tadpole-like characters of a dark silver color.

Similar to a tadpole.

The script is different from that of the Yan Kingdom and the Azure Cloud Sea Region.

What surprised Ye Jingcheng even more was that he couldn't remember these tadpole-like characters, and after trying to memorize them for a while, he got a splitting headache.

It seems my Divine Sense is insufficient.

"This is the first level of the Treasure-Linking Art. You don't have to force yourself to remember it now, but when you return to Soaring Cloud Peak, you will learn this. If you still can't learn this, then you should fake your death and escape, even if it means your Lineage is exposed!" Ye Xuecang explained.

Ye Jingcheng was utterly shocked to hear this.

He naturally understood what the Treasure-Linking Art meant.

The Treasure-Linking Art implies the possession of at least one Spirit Treasure.

Moreover, it should be Spirit Treasure of the Divine Sense type, otherwise it would be useless to Ye Jingcheng, because with Ye Jingcheng's cultivation level, he could at most comprehend the first level of the Treasure-Linking Art.

That would barely allow him to absorb the Spirit Treasure into his body.

"You should have guessed it, that was a treasure obtained by the Eight Desolations Sect, and the Eight Desolations Sect was destroyed because of that treasure!" Ye Xuecang said calmly, but it surprised Ye Jingcheng to the extreme.

Besides the Beast-Link Tower, the Ye Family actually possessed another treasure.

It's at least a Spirit Treasure.

However, upon thinking about this, he understood why the Ye Family dared to exhibit the Beast-Link Tower on Soaring Cloud Peak and place it in the Earth Dragon Valley: because apart from the Ye Family members, no one else knew about the Beast-Link Tower.

Naturally, they weren't worried about being investigated or having their fortunes told. No wonder Ye Haicheng and Ye Xuecang of the Ye Family were so confident back in the Yan Kingdom. That secret treasure in Taihang Commandery of the Yan Kingdom was just a feint!

"Second Grand Uncle, Beast-Link Tower?" Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but ask.

But he soon regretted it.

Given that the Beast-Link Tower could help the Earth Dragon Demon King form his Nascent Soul, the Beast-Link Tower must be even higher.

"The Beast-Link Tower was passed down from our ancestor, and our Lineage also uses a generational naming system." Ye Xuecang, unusually, did not refuse and answered calmly.

Seeing the lingering doubt in Ye Jingcheng's eyes, he spoke again:

"I know you want to know what level of treasure the Beast-Link Tower is. I can tell you, I don't know, and none of the Lineage's ancestors know either. To this day, they dare not ask or inquire!"

After saying that, Ye Xuecang pointed upwards with his finger.

Then he fell silent.

For most Lineage, their generational names follow a traditional system, with each member having a unique generational name. If a generational name is lost, it is replaced with a new one, thus showcasing the Lineage's long and distinguished lineage.

There are also some Lineage that don't want others to know about their long history, so they change their generational names to "Zhuanzong" (转宗), with one generational name per cycle.

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Second Uncle!" Ye Jingcheng also cupped his hands in thanks.

He knew that the Beast-Link Tower was indeed of paramount importance.

With this Beast-Link Tower, the Ye Family has a bright future.

If other forces found out, even if they were to drain the Ye Family's bloodline, they would probably still seek out the Ye Family's secrets.

According to this theory, the Ye Family's situation within the Eight Desolations Sect wasn't due to the Beast-Link Tower's leak, but rather because the Eight Desolations Sect acquired a new Spirit Treasure, leading to their extermination by other Nascent Soul and even Spirit Transformation forces.

The Ye Family was only affected within the sect.

Normally, cultivators at the Purple Mansion use third-tier Law Treasure, cultivators at the Golden Core level use Fourth Stage Law Treasure, and Nascent Soul Cultivator use Fifth Stage Law Treasure.

Above Law Treasure lies Spirit Treasure.

Furthermore, Spirit Treasure are generally divided into three to nine levels of Treasure-Linking Art. The more Treasure-Linking Art Spirit Treasure has, the greater its power!

Normally, Purple Mansion cultivator can only master one level of the Treasure-Linking Art, a Golden Core cultivator can master two levels, and Nascent Soul Cultivator can master three or more levels.

As for fully utilizing Spirit Treasure, one must be at least Spirit Transformation cultivator.

However, even a single level of the Treasure-Linking Art is not something that every Purple Mansion cultivator can comprehend.

If one's comprehension is insufficient and one's Treasure-Linking Art Divine Sense is not strong enough, one may not be able to use Spirit Treasure even if one studies them for a lifetime.

This is why Ye Xuecang asked Ye Jingcheng to comprehend it first.

If you can't comprehend it, you can only feign death.

If one can comprehend this, one will naturally be able to counter the schemes of Tianfu True Person.

It would be easy for him to seize the body of the Purple Mansion with his Golden Divine Sense, but if there is Spirit Treasure to protect it, then the one in danger is Tianfu True Person. At that time, we can have the Earth Dragon Demon King lie in ambush at Soaring Cloud Peak to prevent Tianfu True Person's Divine Sense from returning!

Of course, if Tianfu True Person had no intention of possessing another's body, the Ye Family would not suffer any loss.

After all, Tianfu True Person was already nearing the end of his lifespan.

"As for what the Spirit Treasure is, I can't tell you, nor can I give it to you in advance, as it's easy to be traced. This treasure is being eyed by many people!" Ye Xuecang spoke again.

Ye Jingcheng nodded as well.

"This is a third-tier Soul-Rending Fruit. You can take it and try to break through to the late stage of the Purple Mansion Divine Sense!" Ye Xuecang then took out a storage bracelet and handed it to Ye Jingcheng.

"Thank you very much, Second Uncle. I am now full of confidence and have no more worries!"

Ye Jingcheng nodded.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuecang breathed a sigh of relief.

If we were to say who in the entire Ye Family is under the most pressure, it would naturally be Ye Xuecang. Even Ye Shengyi, who is the oldest in the generation, doesn't feel as much pressure as Ye Xuecang.

He took out two cups of spiritual tea, which were none other than the Cloud-Hidden Tea.

Ye Jingcheng didn't get a drink at Cloud Crane Tower earlier, but now he has the chance.

This spiritual tea is precious to others, but to Ye Xuecang, it's as common as cabbage.

After all, if we run out of tea, we can just get some from the Yun Family's warehouse.

Not a single Yun Family dared to utter a word of dissent. Even if the Cloud-Hidden Tea was finished and not replenished, they would be filled with dread, fearing that Ye Xuecang would blame them.

The moment you taste this Cloud-Hidden Tea, it feels like your whole body lightens and your Divine Soul floats away; it can definitely be considered a relaxing divine tea.

The subtle, ethereal feeling of tea is like the feeling of flying on a sword, appearing and disappearing among the clouds.

Ye Jingcheng fell in love with it the first time he drank it.

Although this Cloud-Hidden Tea has a similar name to the Ye Family's Floating Cloud Tea, its effects are worlds apart.

It's a pity that the Yun Family doesn't have any Cloud-Hidden Tea trees either. It's said that the Vast Righteousness Chamber of Commerce bought them from Cloud Hidden Island in the Heavenly Horse Sea Region.

That hidden island, Yunyin, does not belong to any faction; it is inhabited by a rogue cultivator.

But it also gained immense fame.

"Jingcheng, tell your second great-uncle the truth: if you break through to the Golden Core stage, are you confident you can control the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor?" Ye Xuecang suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng was also taken aback.

But he knew that Ye Xuecang was somewhat worried.

Just like what they talked about on the island.

The Earth Dragon Demon King's power is too strong; once he reaches the Nascent Soul, the Ye Family will no longer be needed.

Moreover, when a Golden Core Nascent Soul breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, their Divine Soul undergoes a qualitative change, and whether the Blood Pact will still be effective is extremely unknown!

Even if Ye Xuecang manages to break through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, he would still be somewhat worried.

That's why I asked Ye Jingcheng again.

Ye Jingcheng also guessed that the Earth Dragon Demon King was probably urging the Ye Family to launch Beast Tide in the Azure Cloud Sea Region.

After all, Ye Jingcheng had consumed all the Beast Soul in the Ye Family's Beast-Link Tower, although they had replenished quite a bit over the past ten years.

However, it's only enough for the Ye Family members to awaken their Beast-Link Mark. It's extremely difficult to accommodate a second or even a third Soul Infusion.

"Eighty percent certain!" Ye Jingcheng thought of the Peachwood Demon and the Stone Spirit; he could form Soul Pact with these special creatures.

In his view, the Earth Dragon Demon King had no chance of breaking free.

The Lineage's Beast-Link Tower is an absolutely terrifying treasure.

However, the Treasure Book within him is definitely a treasure no less valuable.

If it weren't to give Ye Xuecang more time to think it over, Ye Jingcheng would have been prepared to say he was 100% certain!

"That's good!" Ye Xuecang breathed a sigh of relief, as if a weight had finally been lifted from his heart.

"By the way, do you still have any Life-Extending Spirit Peach?" Ye Xuecang then seemed to remember something and asked.

"Yes, that Wood Demon can give birth to spiritual peaches that extend lifespan by twenty years!" Ye Jingcheng replied.

"This Peachwood Demon has also benefited from the Lineage's efforts, and I will hand over two pieces later!" Ye Jingcheng added immediately.

He knew without even thinking that this was to ask Ye Shengyi for the Life-Extending Spirit Peach.

His spirit peach enabled Ye Xingqun and Ye Xinghan to break through their limits. Ordinary members of the Ye Family might not know this, but Ye Xuecang and Ye Haicheng certainly do.

"I won't take it for free; each one is worth 50,000 contribution points," Ye Xuecang said.

Seeing that Ye Jingcheng wanted to continue speaking:

"Your great-grandfather will give you these contribution points; he won't take them for nothing!" Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng could only nod.

Ye Xuecang poured Ye Jingcheng another cup of Cloud-Hidden Tea.

"You must have been worried sick all these years!" Ye Xuecang suddenly said with a smile.

That smile after the seriousness made Ye Jingcheng feel a little uncomfortable.

After all, Ye Xuecang was definitely the strictest among all the elders and Clan Elder of the Ye Family.

Even the Vast Azure Turtle was extremely afraid of it.

"It's alright," Ye Jingcheng replied with a smile, lightening the atmosphere considerably.

It also gives a stronger sense of grandparents and grandchildren.

Ye Jingcheng understood that this was Ye Xuecang explaining why he hadn't told him in advance, but instead had him come to him after he had broken through to the next level.

"There is never an optimal solution, only a better one!" Ye Xuecang said, and took out a packet of spiritual tea.

This spiritual tea was Cold Toad Cloth.

There was clearly a significant amount of Cloud-Hidden Tea inside.

This also made Ye Jingcheng's face light up with joy, as he had brought many treasures from the Yan Kingdom to the Azure Cloud Sea Region.

Returning from the Azure Cloud Sea Region, it would be appropriate to prepare some gifts.

This spiritual tea is undoubtedly the best gift.

"Thank you for your guidance, Second Grand Uncle!" Ye Jingcheng repeatedly cupped his hands in greeting. He knew that Ye Xuecang's taking out the spiritual tea was a way of seeing the guest off.

He has already received enough today.

The Soul-Rending Fruit and the Treasure-Linking Art alone are enough for him to digest.

Seeing that Ye Xuecang Ye Jingcheng had put everything away properly, Ye Xuecang activated the Array. Ye Xuecang then went to the fish stall, took a fish, and quickly left.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng leave, Ye Haihe also entered the courtyard. Ye Xuecang was still somewhat dazed, seemingly deep in thought.

"Second Uncle, if this journey is dangerous, can't we abandon the Yan Kingdom?"

"Sigh!" Upon hearing this, Ye Xuecang did not answer immediately, but instead let out a long sigh.

"If this Azure Cloud Sea Region truly is a paradise on earth, then the Ye Family will suffice!"

The six sea regions of Azure Cloud Sea Region are already a complex web of power, and Mystic Sword Pavilion and Vast Righteousness Chamber of Commerce are also spies of Nascent Soul forces.

If the Ye family's retreat from Lingyun Peak is unclear and ambiguous, then the Tianyun Islands will inevitably be exposed as well. In addition, with so many cultivators in the Ye family's inner hall, the Ye family also needs to worry about the exposure of the Beast-Connecting Tower.

That was a shocking secret even greater than the Eight Desolations Sect's secret treasure.

"Trust this young man; after all, he's the first cultivator in our Ye Family to achieve the Seven-inch Beast-Link Mark!" Ye Xuecang said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Haihe finally nodded.

If the Ye Family hadn't had no other choice, why would they have let Ye Jingcheng take such a risk?
