Four Hundred and Seventy Attempts, Heavenly Dragon Fruit

Ye Haicheng's cave abode in Earth Dragon Valley was not luxurious; it was just a simple cave.

Even the cave's height was only about seven feet; only inside did the space become much more spacious.

The cave abode itself was extremely simple and austere.

A stone bed, a stone table, four stools, and a large wooden barrel in the distance.

There was still medicine inside the wooden barrel.

For Body Cultivator, in addition to their daily practice, they also frequently temper their physical bodies, ensuring that a strong physique is their greatest weapon.

Their breathing techniques are somewhat similar to those of some Demon Cultivator, both aimed at strengthening their physical bodies.

And just now, Ye Haicheng had clearly finished forging the medicine.

"Not bad, their cultivation level has surpassed mine!" Ye Haicheng couldn't help but sigh.

Even a normal Foundation Establishment cultivator might not break through once every ten years, but Ye Jingcheng broke through one level in ten years in the Purple Mansion. This speed is extremely rare, even in a major sect.

"Grandpa, you flatter me. This is all thanks to the many spirit medicine the Lineage found. In terms of strength, even three of me wouldn't be a match for you!" Ye Jingcheng shook his head, remaining very humble.

Ye Haicheng also poured spiritual tea for Ye Jingcheng. Ye Jingcheng instinctively wanted to use his own Cloud-Hidden Tea, since Ye Xuecang had given him a large bag of it at the end, probably weighing three or four pounds.

However, upon discovering that Ye Haicheng had also taken out Cloud-Hidden Tea, they did not insist on exchanging it.

But she still took over and offered to make tea.

"This tea was given to me by your second great-uncle. He only gave me three ounces, so have a good taste. I heard that even the Azure Spirit Commerce Association might not be able to buy it!" Ye Haicheng didn't insist and let Ye Jingcheng pour it himself.

He just smiled and added from the side.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng paused, but didn't say anything. He simply closed his eyes, took a sniff, and then let out a long sigh of relief, his eyes filled with enjoyment.

"It is indeed excellent tea. This tea must have reached the second-grade superior level!" Ye Jingcheng replied.

"If it's good tea, I'll bring you half an ounce later!" Ye Haicheng was incredibly generous.

However, Ye Jingcheng's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

"Grandpa, my second uncle also gave me some of this tea!" Ye Jingcheng finally said.

After all, he might share some of the tea with others.

Unlike other spiritual teas, this one is not meant to be given to outsiders; Ye Haicheng must know it's given to Lineage members.

"That's right, you went to see your second uncle too!" Hearing this, Ye Haicheng stopped insisting and carefully wrapped up the spirit tea.

He didn't pay much attention to it; in his opinion, Ye Xuecang probably only gave Ye Jingcheng a few taels.

After all, it's a spirit tea that's worth nearly a thousand Spirit Stone per ounce.

As they drank the spiritual tea, the two began to discuss the situation in the Yan Kingdom.

"Soaring Cloud Peak needs you right now; many clansmen are short of Foundation Establishment!" Ye Haicheng said.

The Hidden Peak have now all moved to Hidden Island, and naturally, the hidden Alchemist like Ye Xuefu are no longer on Soaring Cloud Peak.

He's the only one who can refine Foundation Establishment right now.

Although Ye Jingyun also broke through to the Foundation Establishment, he did not have the Pill Formula for the Foundation Establishment, nor could he obtain the inner core of a third-tier great demon.

"I'll handle this!" Ye Jingcheng nodded.

What Ye Haicheng said wasn't bad news, but good news. It meant that the number of cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining in the Ye Family had increased, and it also meant that the Ye Family's Spirit Beast plan had succeeded.

After all, most Spirit Beast can advance to become second-tier Demon Beast after one advancement.

These Spirit Beast are all raised from young animals and will not betray you, thus greatly boosting the cultivation of your clan.

Naturally, the demand for Foundation Establishment Pills increased.

For Ye Jingcheng, this matter was also extremely easy to handle. Ye Xuefan had given him quite a few third-tier Demon Beast Core, and he could refine three or four Foundation Establishment from just one of them.

With the Moon Spirit Pearl he brought, the cultivation speed of the Jing generation of the Ye Family, and even the newly emerging Qing generation, will definitely increase.

"By the way, Grandpa, how are the Yuan Family and Wei Family doing? I heard they've started fighting each other."

Upon hearing this, Ye Haicheng frowned.

"Jingcheng, the trouble now is with the Yuan Family Yuan Family. They keep trying to incite Beast Tide, and they've been to Moonwatch Lake many times. After what happened, the Silver Moon Demon King already harbors extreme hatred for Human Race. With this commotion, he's sent dragons to Earth Dragon Valley several times, trying to stir up another Beast Tide. The Wei Family is doing well, constantly stopping the Yuan Family, but according to reliable sources, the Wei Family might not be acting normally either!" Ye Haicheng's meaning was clear: the Wei Family might be colluding with the Yuan Family.

After all, the entire Taihang Commandery currently consists of the Yuan Family, the Ye Family, the Wei Family, and the Jin Family, which only retains Foundation Establishment branch.

The Ye Family has been patiently developing for the past ten years, not to mention the Jin Family. Because of the injury to the Jin Family patriarch and the decline of the Kong Family, the Jin Family and the Zhang Family have been keeping an eye on the Kong Family's territory.

They were utterly incapable of governing Taihang Commandery.

So only the Wei Family and the Yuan Family remained, and both families made a lot of noise but accomplished little.

That's why the Taiyi Sect didn't send any members to target either of them.

But now, the Yuan Family is going too far, and even the locust plague has not made them restrain themselves.

"Grandpa, I understand!" Ye Jingcheng nodded upon hearing this.

In that case, we'll have to find a way to replace him with someone from the Yuan Family or Wei Family.

Otherwise, it will cause great harm sooner or later.

"Go and see the Earth Dragon Demon King. Also, the Beast Communion Ceremony can be held again!" Ye Haicheng said, then waved for the Turtle Ancestor beside him to follow Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Haicheng also noticed that Turtle Ancestor's breakthrough speed had increased since he started following Ye Jingcheng.

If the Turtle Ancestor's cultivation speed increases, he can Beast Communion to further accelerate his cultivation.

Ye Jingcheng nodded. The Beast-Link Tower was obviously inside the Turtle Ancestor's Grotto-Heaven, which was the safest option and wouldn't be deduced.

Ye Jingcheng even felt that the Spirit Treasure might be inside the Turtle Ancestor Grotto-Heaven.

It seems that the Turtle Ancestor contains quite a few good things.

"I've done the math. I used to go once every seven days, for a full nine years. You owe me four hundred and seventy times. Give it to me all at once, but don't bully an honest turtle!" The Turtle Ancestor also had a tough-guy look on his face.

"Try this pill powder and see if you can handle it!" Ye Jingcheng was speechless. He naturally couldn't produce so many Treasure Radiance, and this was the first time he had encountered such a shameless tortoise. None of his Spirit Beast, including the Wood Demon, had ever claimed any debt.

But for him, wanting the Turtle Ancestor to be well was genuine. After all, if the Turtle Ancestor didn't break through quickly, once his Stone Spirit surpassed the Turtle Ancestor's, his Grotto-Heaven might become public.

This powder is precisely the powder from a second-tier Golden Scale Pill.

The Turtle Ancestor took the powder from the second-tier Golden Scale Pill and also took a small sip.

"Although it hurts a bit, it seems to be somewhat useful..." The Vast Azure Turtle had never taken this kind of pill before, but at this moment, it felt a bit stimulated, as if its Earth Attribute demonic energy had been strengthened by a bit.

"Try this one again!" Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng took out the powder from the second-tier Soil-Turning Pill.

Let the Turtle Ancestor give it a try.

Vast Azure Turtle is at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion, so he should be able to withstand even second-tier pills.

Ye Jingcheng had no interest in researching second-tier Earth-Tier Pill at the moment.

Naturally, the plan was to see which of the Turtle Ancestor was more suitable and then give it to them to increase their bloodline power and improve Turtle Ancestor speed.

"That one was more impactful; this one makes me want to eat dirt!" The Vast Azure Turtle shook its head and replied.

"Alright, then I'll give you this Golden-Scaled Beast Elixir. Consider it a payment for those five hundred times!" Ye Jingcheng took out an extra bottle of second-tier Golden Scale Pill Elixir.

These were extras that were refined back then, and I've kept them all this time. They're finally coming in handy now.

"Alright!" The Turtle Ancestor's eyes widened immediately, and it agreed without even thinking. It had just said that the 470 times were for Ye Jingcheng, and it didn't expect that Ye Jingcheng would actually agree.

It once again felt that Ye Jingcheng was an excellent person.

She also pulled Ye Jingcheng and walked outside.

Transmitting sounds while walking:

"You have an earthy appearance, are you alright?"

His eyes also became shifty.

"The Earth element isn't bad, but what do you plan to use to repay the Treasure Radiance that appears only once every seven days?"

"And this should count as ten years, let's say five hundred times. As the Turtle Ancestor, you wouldn't just take advantage of this for nothing, would you..." Ye Jingcheng said with a smile in his eyes.

This made the Turtle Ancestor gasp in shock.

It is the Turtle Ancestor, so naturally it cannot get something for nothing.

However, it really didn't know how to repay it.

In the end, all they could take out was a pale white tortoise shell.

"My last promotion was at least at the mid-stage of the third tier, right?"

Ye Jingcheng took the tortoise shell and nodded immediately.

"You are the Turtle Ancestor, so I'll let you off the hook this time, but it's actually not enough, considering it's been over five hundred times!" Ye Jingcheng said, accepting the turtle shell as well, his face showing a look of dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Turtle Ancestor didn't care. After Ye Jingcheng finished channeling the Treasure Radiance into him, he directly swallowed the spirit pill and entered the Spirit Beast pouch.

As for next time, it will just continue to behave the same way.

It didn't agree to Ye Jingcheng's rules for exchanging treasures today!

Ye Jingcheng, unaware of the ulterior motives of the Turtle Ancestor, continued walking towards the Earth Dragon Demon King.

As I said before, it would definitely be better to pay a visit.

After all, if Tianfu True Person is up to no good, he will have to rely on the Earth Dragon Demon King. This is something that must be done beforehand!

Earth Dragon Valley is very large, and the Earth Dragon Demon King's cave abode is located in the very center of Earth Dragon Valley.

This is also a deep valley, and there are many rocks at the entrance, with an astonishing amount of Spiritual Qi. Ye Jingcheng even suspected that there was a stalactite cave here.

It's highly possible that it contains spiritual milk.

After all, the feeling of this Spiritual Qi was somewhat similar to that of the Mystic Turtle Island he had visited.

However, there was another Array nearby that Ye Jingcheng could not explore directly.

This Array is quite simple to set up; if Ye Jingcheng wanted to, he could break it within three breaths.

But once the Earth Dragon Demon King was defeated, he would know.

He certainly couldn't do that.

"Dragon Ancestor!" Ye Jingcheng called out respectfully.

A short while later, the Array opened, and Ye Jingcheng entered the valley, discovering that inside the seemingly ordinary valley was a dragon palace.

The palace gate resembled a dragon's head raised high, exuding majesty, as if it were about to roar.

Inside the Dragon Palace, the Earth Dragon Demon King emerged, clad in a golden robe.

"Your cultivation speed is much faster than your Second Ancestor's!" The Earth Dragon Demon King exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Ye Jingcheng's cultivation level.

"You flatter me, Dragon Ancestor. I was just passing through Earth Dragon Valley and brought you some spiritual tea. I also thank you for your help in the Red Coral Sea!" Ye Jingcheng handed the Cloud Hidden Tea Jade Box, which he had prepared in advance, to the Earth Dragon Demon King.

"You've put in a lot of effort!" The Earth Dragon Demon King nodded.

"Let me remind you, the Yuan Family might be planning to attack Green Wind Wolf Plain. They've already circled around to the northern part of Lion King Ridge, but they've been killed several times by the Cloud Lion Demon King!" the Earth Dragon Demon King added.

These words surprised Ye Jingcheng.

He then repeatedly bowed:

"Thank you, Dragon Ancestor!"

Ye Jingcheng was also surprised to hear this, because the northern part of Lion King Ridge is the Green Wind Wolf Plain, which is the territory of the Green Wind Demon King.

Of course, the Azure Wind Wolf King is only a mid -Fourth Stage Golden Core Wolf King and is not worth paying much attention to.

But behind the Green Wind Wolf Plain lies the Azure Wolf Valley, and within the Wolf Valley resides the Azure Demon Emperor.

If the Azure Wind Wolf King were to incite the Azure Demon Emperor...

Even if the Demon Emperor refrains from intervening due to the contract, this Beast Tide will still affect at least seven or eight Demon Kings.

At that time, the Beast Tide would have been so fierce that not only would Jade Dragon Valley have been unable to hold out, but the entire Taihang Commandery would have been destroyed.

If the Nascent Soul from the Taiyi Sect hadn't emerged, half of Taichang Commandery would probably have been wiped out.

This is not what Ye Jingcheng wanted to see.

Moreover, given the Yuan Family's strength alone, they certainly couldn't bypass Lion King Ridge. After all, bypassing Earth Dragon Valley involves long mountain Earth Dragon Valley on both sides, which even Divine Sense might not be able to cover.

But Lion King Ridge is different. It is the heartland of the Demon Race, and behind it lies the Green Wind Wolf Plain, offering a wide field of vision and making it extremely difficult for people to hide.

Therefore, it is very likely that the people of the Green River Sect are providing treasures and even high-level cultivators to plot the Beast Tide.

To stop them, the solution is to cut off the Yuan Family and Wei Family, which would eliminate their reason to remain lurking around the Taihang Mountain Range.

Blocking the Taihang Mountain Range is not so realistic.

"I hope the Dragon Ancestor will speak to the Cloud Lion Demon King. These cultivators are used to stealing cubs and treasures, so we must be extra vigilant!" Ye Jingcheng said to the Earth Dragon Demon King.

The Earth Dragon Demon King nodded in agreement. After all, the Ye Family was now closely connected to it, and it didn't want the Beast Tide to truly destroy the Ye Family.

"Come in and have a drink!" Seeing Ye Jingcheng preparing to leave, the Earth Dragon Demon King called Ye Jingcheng back.

Ye Jingcheng was also allowed to enter the Dragon Palace.

This surprised Ye Jingcheng somewhat, and also made him feel a chill.

He felt that the Earth Dragon Demon King might have sensed the caution in his and Ye Xuecang's hearts.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingcheng sighed inwardly.

He knew that this Earth Dragon Demon King was far more intelligent than many cultivators, and would be difficult to deceive.

However, Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xuecang could not help but remain wary, hoping that the Earth Dragon Demon King would understand the Ye Family's intentions.

Upon entering the Dragon Palace, one is greeted by a vast expanse of space.

This place is still a yellow world, with nothing else but a huge golden fruit tree, Huang Sha, sand dunes, and a large Desert pit.

The fruit trees quickly captured Ye Jingcheng's attention.

This fruit tree is extremely tall and thick, and its branches resemble dragon horns.

At the same time, an astonishing Earth Attribute Spiritual Qi lingered around the tree.

Fortunately, it resembled a dragon's shadow.

Ye Jingcheng was also extremely shocked when he saw this.

This is clearly Heavenly Dragon Fruit tree.

This is a level higher than the Dragon Whisker Fruit tree.

It belongs to the Fourth Stage spiritual fruit.

Not only is it extremely useful for dragons, but if Human Race cultivators take it, they can also develop extraordinary physical bodies. If Ye Haicheng were to take it, it would increase his chances of breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

Of course, if Ye Jingcheng's Golden-Scaled Beast were to consume it, it would also significantly increase his chances of breaking through!

Under the tree, there was a small octagonal table, where the Earth Dragon Demon King led Ye Jingcheng.

There were also array patterns on the table.

However, Ye Jingcheng had already Wuxin in looking at the table, because he discovered that the Heavenly Dragon Fruit tree had blossomed.

Even Fourth Stage spiritual fruit, once it blossoms, will take at most ten years to bear fruit!

Most importantly, this Heavenly Dragon Fruit is a Fourth Stage spiritual fruit, so it's definitely useless against the Earth Dragon Demon King!

"This is Fire Ridge Tea from Lion King Ridge, a low-grade third-tier spiritual tea. That stingy lion usually doesn't even drink much when he entertains us!" the Earth Dragon Demon King introduced with a slightly humorous tone.

This also greatly increased Ye Jingcheng's interest in Fire Ridge Tea.

Of course, he was still thinking about the Heavenly Dragon Fruit, after all, the Earth Dragon Demon King still owed him a chance to freely Beast Communion!

However, Ye Jingcheng found it difficult to bring it up.

As Ye Jingcheng drank the Fire Ridge Tea, he felt as if warm flames were spreading from his throat to his abdomen, and his whole body was tingling with a numb sensation.

Moreover, a powerful burst of Fire Attribute True Essence surged towards Ye Jingcheng.

Clearly, besides its domineering taste and mysterious quality resembling Spirit Flame, this Fire Ridge Tea is also highly beneficial to the cultivation of Fire Attribute cultivators!
