One Surprise After Another, Drive Out Wei and Swallow Yuan

At the summit of Soaring Cloud Peak, the sunlight, though faint, seemed to accelerate the melting of the snow-capped peaks.

On the surface of the lake, many spirit fish were peeking out.

Some of them were bright Red-Node Fish, while others were longer Azure-Pattern Fish.

Beside the lake, many Jade Lotus grew luxuriantly, and several red lotus pods lay scattered among them.

As the Array was activated, Ye Jingli, Ye Xingqun, and Ye Jingyun also entered the Array.

The three of them were naturally excited. They knew that Ye Jingcheng had already gone to the Azure Cloud Sea Region, and they also knew that this was related to the breakthrough of their Lineage's ancestor.

Of course, they didn't know much.

Many of these are even just their guesses.

"Our Lineage patriarch should have successfully broken through by now!" Ye Jingli was the first to speak up.

His eyebrows furrowed in excitement.

After all, Ye Jingcheng was going to reward all the members of the Ye Family, so something good must have happened, otherwise he wouldn't have increased the rewards.

Ye Xingqun and Ye Jingyun remained silent.

But all that was seen was that the Array opened:

"Sixth Brother, it's the same old problem again. Remember to listen more and talk less!" Ye Jingcheng's voice rang out.

This immediately excited the three of them.

In their eyes, Ye Jingcheng hadn't changed at all; he was the same as before, as if his appearance had been frozen in time.

As soon as Ye Jingcheng entered, he walked to the lakeside, manipulating mysterious array flags with his hands.

Suddenly, the lake opened up on both sides, revealing the underwater palace.

Ye Jingcheng led the three of them toward the underwater palace.

"I understand, I understand, I just saw there was Array here!" Ye Jingli had changed a lot in his daily life, but sometimes he still couldn't help doing this.

He was particularly fascinated by anything Yu Family.

He first discovered that his Lineage possessed Beast-Link Mark when he was practicing Qi cultivation, which could enhance the talents of his clansmen.

You can exchange them for better Spirit Beast.

But his Lineage told him to keep it a secret, not even to his own Inner Hall, which made him feel stifled.

Later, Ye Jingcheng helped his Crimson Flame Scale Python successfully advance its bloodline, greatly increasing its growth rate and making it easy to break through to the second tier.

It also made him very eager, but unfortunately, only Ye Jingyun could talk to him about it.

Later, Ye Jingcheng announced his seclusion, but he discovered that many of the tokens in the Lineage Ancestral Shrine were fake, and he had even witnessed Ye Jingcheng's breakthrough to the Purple Mansion.

He knew that many members of his Lineage might not have died.

He and Ye Jingyong had previously misunderstood Ye Jingcheng.

Unfortunately, she couldn't tell Ye Jingcheng, and he shouldered it all Ye Jingcheng.

"Array are not omnipotent. Everything is going smoothly for the Lineage, but because the Lineage has enemies, we cannot expose ourselves yet!" Ye Jingcheng said.

"The reason I didn't tell you about what happened to Fourth Brother, Third Uncle, and even Great-Grandfather is because of this!"

This time, Ye Jingcheng didn't blame Ye Jingli too much. Before this, he had indeed kept a lot of things from Ye Jingli.

Only Ye Xingqun, Ye Jingyun, and Ye Xinghan knew some of it.

However, because he went into seclusion in the Azure Cloud Sea Region, the entire Ye Family was managed by Ye Jingyun Ye Jingli, and Ye Xingqun, and the latter was naturally aware of this.

After all, he wasn't on Soaring Cloud Peak. He could fool ordinary people, but it would be difficult to fool a Foundation Establishment cultivator like Ye Jingli who was in charge.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Ye Jingli nodded repeatedly.

"I just wanted to ask how Fourth Brother is doing. I haven't even told Second Brother and Uncle Xingyi about this, they're still in the dark!" Ye Jingli added.

This surprised Ye Jingcheng somewhat. In his opinion, Ye Jingli found out, he would definitely tell Ye Jingyong.

But not telling them is a good thing.

This also signifies that Ye Jingli has matured.

Ye Jingyong was always in Taihang Market, which wasn't exactly safe. On the contrary, Lingyun Peak of the Ye family was safer, as it was protected by the Ye family's mountain-protecting formation, and he didn't have to worry about being tricked into revealing information.

It would take an ordinary cultivator of the Purple Mansion some time to break through the Ye Family.

In Taihang Commandery of the Yan Kingdom, Purple Mansion were also rare.

"Don't worry, Sixth Brother, Fourth Brother is doing well. His cultivation is higher than yours. Although you are in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, you only recently broke through!" Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but glance at Ye Jingli again.

This immediately made the latter blush.

Ye Jingli did indeed intend to show off to Ye Jingcheng.

Although his talent wasn't particularly outstanding, it's worth noting that Ye Jingli celebrated his entry into the Inner Hall with Ye Jingcheng over drinks.

"Uncle Xingqun, Jingyun, thank you for your hard work over the years!" Ye Jingcheng also looked at Ye Jingyun and Ye Xingqun.

The former, in particular, has made remarkable progress, and Ye Jingcheng also witnessed his anger after the competition.

In his view, this was absolutely necessary.

Many members of the Qing generation may not be aware of the Lineage's ups and downs, but as members of the Ye Family, they have all undergone rigorous clan studies. If this continues, the Ye Family's future awakening ceremony for the Beast-Link Mark will need to be even more stringent.

"It wasn't hard work at all; in fact, we benefited!" Ye Xingqun and Ye Jingyun both shook their heads.

Seeing the Lineage prosper and being able to share in the profits from their efforts is something they consider worthwhile.

"By the way, Jingcheng, Jinghu has gone into seclusion!" Ye Jingyun suddenly said.

"I didn't take the Foundation Establishment!" Ye Jingyun added.

"How long has it been?" Ye Jingcheng's gaze suddenly turned cold.

But he knew that this was because he hadn't come, and the Ye family here didn't have the recipe for Foundation Establishment Pills, so they couldn't refine them.

Relying solely on purchasing Foundation Establishment once every ten years would be extremely difficult for the Ye Family to acquire in their current state.

But this is by no means a reason for Ye Jinghu to dare to Foundation Establishment without authorization.

You must understand that without the Foundation Establishment Pill, failure means certain death and the annihilation of one's cultivation.

For the Yu Family, this Foundation Establishment is absolutely indispensable.

"It's been half a year!" Ye Jingyun dared not hide it; they were at fault for this.

Ye Jinghu was unaware that Ye Jingcheng had gone to the Azure Cloud Sea Region. He assumed that Ye Jingcheng was simply in seclusion, and that the Ye Family needed more Foundation Establishment cultivators to stabilize the situation.

"We must be careful about this incident in the future. We cannot allow such strange spiritual roots or even dual spiritual roots to be treated this way. I have brought a new Foundation Establishment Pill formula that does not require the three common rare medicinal materials, such as the Heavenly Sun Fruit!" Ye Jingcheng said.

"Patriarch, that's wonderful! You don't know, but because of the Five Elements Ascension Pill, there are quite a few cultivators in the Ye Family at the ninth level of Qi Refining, although many of them are over sixty!" Ye Jingyun was excited at first, but then he became somewhat dejected.

People like Ye Xing shui and Ye Jingyu have reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, but they have no hope of breaking through.

The sixty mark is no joke.

They didn't believe Ye Jingcheng could produce any more longevity spirit medicine.

After all, the longevity spirit medicine in this world are even more precious than the Foundation Establishment.

"Ninth Brother, these Jade Slip are all for you. You can spend some time practicing these Pill Formula recently. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me anytime!" Ye Jingcheng took out a lot of Pill Formula Jade Slip.

Now he has obtained all the spiritual pill inheritances of the Ye Family, from the first to the Fourth Stage.

"In addition, we need to recalculate the ages, cultivation skills, and Clan Contribution of the Yu Family Clan Elder who are at the ninth level of Qi Refining!"

"Good, Patriarch!" Ye Jingyun was overjoyed the moment he received the Jade Slip and read them.

He previously knew only about thirty Pill Formula, but now Ye Jingcheng has given him over a hundred, including Pill Formula for Foundation Establishment and Purple Palace Jade Liquid Pill Formula.

For an Alchemist, the most important thing is the Pill Furnace, which is the most precious thing, followed by the Pill Formula.

"Oh, right, Ninth Brother, here's Pill Furnace for you too!" Ye Jingcheng then took out the Heavenly Bell Furnace and handed it directly to Ye Jingyun.

Previously, Ye Jingcheng gave the Three Thousand Harmony Furnace to Ye Xingyi, and this replaced Heavenly Bell Furnace is just right to be given to Ye Jingyun.

"Patriarch, this is too precious. This is a second-grade top-quality Pill Furnace. I can't use it!" Ye Jingyun waved his hands repeatedly, as he was still only in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

Although his Spirit Beast, the Violet Flame Longhorn Beetle, had already advanced once and broken through to the mid-stage of the second tier.

It's only a matter of time before he breaks through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

However, a top-grade Pill Furnace is something he can only use in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

"If you think it's too valuable, you can deduct the contribution points yourself. Even if it's five thousand contribution points, I already have a suitable Pill Furnace!" Ye Jingcheng simply shrugged.

He gave Ye Jingyun the Pill Furnace in the hope that Ye Jingyun would refine more elixirs in the future. After all, there are more and more cultivators on Soaring Cloud Peak, and he needs to cultivate more and more, so he will have less and less time in the future.

"If you don't want it, I'll give it to a member of the Hidden Peak Lineage!" Ye Jingcheng said immediately when he saw Ye Jingyun still hesitating.

"No, Patriarch!" Ye Jingyun immediately waved his hand.

Such a fine Pill Furnace would be worth eighty or ninety thousand Spirit Stone at an auction.

Five thousand contribution points, it's practically free.

After receiving the contribution points, Ye Jingyun couldn't stop smiling.

A large number of Pill Formula, as well as top-quality Pill Furnace.

This act of generosity filled Ye Xingqun and Ye Jingli, who were standing nearby, with envy in their eyes.

"Uncle Xingqun, Sixth Brother, you also have gifts!" Ye Jingcheng said.

Then Ye Jingcheng took out a row of eggs.

That's right, it's a row of eggs.

Among them are the spirit eggs of the Water-Spined Turtle, the Supreme Mystery Turtle, and the eggs of the red-crowned seabird and the Golden Great Roc Bird.

Of course, there are many other spirit eggs as well.

These are all Ye Jingcheng's gains on Hidden Island.

He handed over some of it, but kept some for himself.

He even set up Array around some of these spirit eggs to delay their birth.

This ensures a smoother recognition process and also allows for prior nurturing with spiritual liquid.

"Patriarch, I won't stand on ceremony!" Ye Jingli immediately set his sights on the Red-Crowned Sea Crane's egg.

The Red-Crowned Sea Crane is also a flying Spirit Beast, and when paired with his Crimson Flame Scale Python, they make a perfect combination of one flying and one python.

Ye Xingqun didn't stand on ceremony at this moment; Ye Jingcheng himself didn't need so many Spirit Beast eggs.

He then chose a Golden Great Roc Bird's spirit egg.

"Ninth Brother, why don't you choose another one? Now that you've both Foundation Establishment, you can raise another Spirit Beast!" Ye Jingcheng said.

Ye Jingyun nodded upon hearing this.

He would give up anything, but he wouldn't give up something that would improve his cultivation.

Finally, we chose a Supreme Mystery Turtle with considerable talent!

He possesses four Spirit Root and cultivates the Great Yellow Spirit Fire Scripture, which combines fire and earth attributes.

He already possessed the Fire Cloud Bird with the bloodline of the Fire-Swallowing Sparrow- Fire Attribute Spirit Beast and the Violet Flame Longhorn Beetle, and now he could add a Supreme Mystery Turtle to his collection.

Moreover, this Supreme Mystery Turtle has considerable talent, being able to advance twice; it was specially selected by Ye Jingcheng.

"Patriarch, is this a reward for those competitions?" Ye Jingyun asked.

"Yes, give them some. Give them all to the top three in the late stage of Qi Refining, and the top one in the middle stage of Qi Refining. The rest can be given Cultivation Method!" After Ye Jingcheng finished speaking, he took out a lot more Jade Slips.

Seeing this, the group of people became somewhat numb.

"If you want to change, you can!" Ye Jingcheng added.

Some of the Jade Slip were compiled by Ye Xuefan to match the five Spirit Beasts of the Ye Family, while others were obtained from the Jade Chu Sect and the Yun Family.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng selected some of the iconic Cultivation Method that were characteristic of the Azure Cloud Sea Region.

"That's great! The Lineage has all sorts of Cultivation Method and treasures this time, but we can't give them all at once. We should take it slowly, and it would be best to wait until the family head announces that the Lineage has returned to the Purple Mansion Lineage!" Ye Jingyun was excited, but he quickly calmed down.

He is currently the main person in charge of the Ye Family, and he is usually quite calm. He was just a little dizzy from being bombarded with so many treasures by Ye Jingcheng.

"You can handle these matters yourselves. Tell me about the current situation of the Lineage, especially the Wei Family and Yuan Family, and your thoughts!" Ye Jingcheng said.

This also changed the subject.

"Patriarch, the biggest threat right now is the Yuan Family. Ever since the Nascent Soul from the Taiyi Sect made his move, the Jin Family has behaved themselves. Now, the only one left in Taihang Commandery is Jin Yuzhan, who is in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage and can be considered a Foundation Establishment branch family!"

"But the Yuan Family and the Wei Family are locked in a fierce battle, even fighting several times in the Taihang Marketplace!"

"This has caused chaos in Taihang Marketplace, and business has dropped by more than 20%!"

"And the Yuan Family is located on the border of the Taihang Mountain Range, where they often cause the roars of beasts, forcing our two Hidden Valley to frequently evacuate in emergency!" Ye Jingyun said with resentment in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng's eyes blazed with even more anger.

Back then, he received gifts from the Yuan Family and Wei Family, and he also wanted them to attract attention.

So they were allowed to stay.

The two families have indeed attracted attention, and the situation has even affected the Ye Family.

The two newly opened Hidden Valley, in the open, one for raising Mountain-Devouring Rat and Dense Forest Pig, and the other for researching Spirit Insect and even Spirit-Extinguishing Locust.

He had actually visited both of these Hidden Valley before returning.

He wasn't very satisfied.

Now it seems that it was actually because of the Yuan Family.

"Patriarch, in our opinion, they are reopening the case of the Spirit-Extinguishing Locust, framing the Yuan Family, and bringing in the Wan Family of Taiqing Commandery to suppress the Wei Family together!" Ye Jingyun said slowly.

"In recent years Wan Family has been showing us goodwill, but I have listened to you and neither refused outright nor agreed outright. However, Taiqing Commandery is still in turmoil. The Wan Family wants to find a way out. They can stabilize the Beast Tide and also draw some of the firepower."

"We don't need to contact the Wan Family anymore. We can try contacting Azure Cloud Nunnery!" Ye Jingcheng suddenly said.

These words startled Ye Jingyun.

"It's impossible for the Taiyi Sect to confirm that the Wan Family, with three Purple Mansion, has come to Taihang Commandery at this time, but the Azure Cloud Nunnery is different; they might be able to do so!" Ye Jingcheng added, seeing that Ye Jingyun was still full of doubts.

"As for the Yuan Family framing him, send someone to contact the Wei Family and ask Wei Family to find evidence. Haven't they been getting along so well with the Yuan Family all these years?"

"Is there no evidence?"

"We don't need to handle this. Sixth Brother, you send a telepathic message to Eldest Brother, asking him to lead the Taiyi Sect to put pressure on the Wei Family. Tell them that you want to thoroughly investigate the case of the Spirit-Extinguishing Locust back then. The Spirit-Extinguishing Locust held back the Three Origins True Person, which led to the breach of the Taiyi Sect's Purple Extreme Peak. If the Wei Family doesn't provide evidence and doesn't target the Yuan Family, then they are all insiders in the case of the Spirit-Extinguishing Locust, spies of the Green River Sect!"

Ye Jingcheng spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, all three of them showed expressions of ecstatic joy.

All the pent-up frustration from the past seemed to dissipate at this moment.

Ye Jingcheng's move was brilliant!

Let them fight like dogs first, kill one of them, and then bring in the less belligerent Azure Cloud Nunnery.

As far as they knew, Azure Cloud Nunnery was entirely inhabited by people practicing asceticism.

Among the Foundation Establishment forces, they are neither weak nor strong; most importantly, they are extremely low-key.
