Third-Tier Secret Realm, Refining Treasures

"Come with me!" Ye Jingcheng stepped forward and took Chu Yanqing's hand. He knew that Chu Yanqing's calm demeanor was the calmness she had cultivated through years of weapon forging.

In truth, her inner world was like the Spirit Flame beneath the Pill Furnace, sometimes flickering, sometimes uncertain.

Ye Jingcheng placed the land deed and lease on the table for Chu Yanqing to see.

"Brother Cheng, there's no need for that!" Chu Yanqing initially froze upon seeing this, but her eyes became even more misty. However, she shook her head and spoke again:

"Brother Cheng, there's no need for that!"

"What, you look down on my Ye Family so much? You can't even get a clan mountain?" Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but laugh.

Upon hearing Ye Jingcheng's words, Chu Yanqing immediately rushed over, holding him tightly as if afraid that this hard-won time would slip away.

Ye Jingcheng could feel Chu Yanqing's body trembling slightly.

Ye Jingcheng wasn't good at comforting people, so he also held Chu Yanqing in his arms.

Feeling the warmth in his arms, Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

"Brother Cheng, do you remember the first time we met?" Chu Yanqing suddenly asked.

Actually, I lied to you!

"I am also part of the arranged marriage, but I want to find a husband because there has never been a female head of the Lineage in the past. I want to inherit my father's will." Chu Yanqing said with a touch of playfulness.

It was as if, at this moment, she was the one who was marrying the young master.

Her eyes held emotion, luck, sincerity, and a secret smile.

At this moment, Chu Yanqing's eyes were like the most dazzling stars in the sky, so lively and timeless, and infinitely beautiful.

Ye Jingcheng was also stunned. After several dozen breaths, the two of them inadvertently got very close!

He couldn't help but press his hand against the bright red stain.

After a long and tender time, the two reluctantly parted ways.

"So, that's why you investigated me?" Ye Jingcheng didn't know what to say at this moment, so he continued to pick up where he left off.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng's unusual restraint, Chu Yanqing covered her mouth and chuckled.

He then coughed twice and spoke:

"Of course. My husband, Chu Yanqing's husband, may not be a peerless hero, nor a peerless immortal lord, but he must be someone who can enter my heart, unique and one of a kind in the world!"

"And what about you?" Chu Yanqing asked curiously, tilting her chin up.

"I don't know." Ye Jingcheng shook his head.

"Like you, I probably didn't know anything before I met them!"

"A person is like a rainbow; you only know they exist when you encounter them!"

Ye Jingcheng spoke slowly, and the two began pouring their drinks.

Chu Yanqing then covered herself with the veil again.

Then, sitting on the bed, he became extremely reserved again.

It was as if she wasn't the one who had been so bold with the Heat just moments before.

Ye Jingcheng poured the nuptial wine and then stepped forward to lift Chu Yanqing's veil.

The two men were drinking when they drew the curtains.

"Brother Cheng, you should have broken through to the Purple Mansion long ago!"

"It might even help you break through to the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm!" Chu Yanqing said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng was also taken aback.

He knew what Chu Yanqing meant; the pure Yin energy of a spiritual body was of great help to cultivators.

This is why there are so many cultivation furnaces and dual Cultivation Method in the Cultivation World.

The furnaces in the Azure Spirit Commerce Association are all filled with virgins, and they command the highest prices.

However, he didn't know when Chu Yanqing discovered that he had broken through to the Purple Mansion.

"Yan Qing, when did you discover that I had broken through to the Purple Mansion?"

"Twelve years ago!" Chu Yanqing readily agreed. This day should be the time after his breakthrough.

"I am Ren Water Spirit Body, which makes cultivating Water Attribute Cultivation Method twice as effective. I can also sense Water Attribute Spiritual Qi. I sensed that your Water Attribute True Essence is particularly strong, which you concealed when you were in the market!" Chu Yanqing said.

Seemingly afraid that Ye Jingcheng might misunderstand, she spoke again:

"Brother Cheng, what I mean is, be careful when you're out there. We must never repeat the mistakes of the Chu Family."

"I understand!" Ye Jingcheng felt much relieved.

"However, I'm not at the peak of the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm; I'm at the mid Purple Mansion," Ye Jingcheng said mysteriously.

These words immediately surprised Chu Yanqing to the extreme.

However, after remembering that Ye Jingcheng was also a spirit, she nodded.

"You should start cultivating first, and break through to the Purple Mansion!" Ye Jingcheng said.

He did not proceed to the next step. Although the image did appear in his mind, Chu Yanqing was already facing considerable Heart Demon as she broke through to the Purple Mansion realm. Even with the Purple Palace Jade Liquid and her spiritual body, he was still worried about the problem.

Let Chu Yanqing break through to the Purple Mansion first; it might even help him break through to the late Purple Mansion later.

Of course, the most crucial thing is that Ye Jingcheng needs to replenish his Spirit Root, which may require changing his Cultivation Method at that time, but he is not in a hurry.

"Among this gift is a Purple Jade Fruit, which I can use to refine a Purple Palace Jade Liquid for you!" Ye Jingcheng continued.

He could sense that Chu Yanqing was not far from the peak of Foundation Establishment.

It is estimated that it will take one or two years, or three to five years, to Foundation Establishment, and it is estimated that it will take no more than ten years to break through to the early stage of the Purple Mansion.

Ye Jing can afford to wait this long.

"Okay!" Chu Yanqing nodded, and the two of them began to chat while snuggling together.

"By the way, Brother Cheng, I heard from my father that the reason our ancestor was so reckless was because he discovered a third-tier secret realm. It was precisely because of this third-tier secret realm that Ancestor Tianfen was so eager!" Chu Yanqing said.

These words surprised Ye Jingcheng.

The third-tier secret realm is a level more powerful than the Desolation-Suppressing Secret Realm.

There are definitely many third-tier powerful demons inside, and of course, the spirit medicine and secret treasures are absolutely unimaginable.

For the Ye Family, perhaps they could use that secret realm to further enhance their strength.

After all, given the right timing, the Ye Family could make use of all the Demon Beast and spirit medicine in the entire secret realm.

As she spoke, Chu Yanqing took out a Jade Slip and began to draw.

However, this Jade Slip is not located in the Taiyi Three Prefectures, but in Returning Goose Commandery.

Moreover, the location was a notorious poisonous swamp.

"Our ancestor believed that the third-tier secret realm could allow our Chu Family to transcend the Purple Mansion Lineage and enter the Golden Core Lineage, which is why he took the risk."

"Furthermore, there is a Lineage in Returning Goose Commandery, the Xun Family of the Purple Mansion Fu, who are related to our Chu Family by the Aristocratic Clan. My ninth aunt is marrying into their family, which will be of great help to us!" Chu Yanqing added.

The Xun Family is probably a hidden force of the Chu Family. If the Chu Family earns enough Spirit Stone, they will probably infiltrate the Yan Returning Goose Commandery the Green River Sect.

After the two became sworn brothers, they started talking more.

Chu Yanqing did not hide many things about the Chu Family.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingcheng also recalled how he had deliberately distanced himself from Chu Yanqing because he was worried about his Lineage's secrets being leaked.

In retrospect, it seems he was being petty and calculating.

The night passed quickly.

The next morning, as dawn broke in the east, a faint golden light bathed the sunlit side of Soaring Cloud Peak.

It also landed on every monk in the square.

At this moment, the Rogue Cultivator and cultivators from small Lineage arrived in exceptionally complete numbers.

Most of the sermons consist of two parts: first, explaining one's own cultivation experience; and second, explaining some insights gained from practicing Qi to reaching a certain level of spiritual attainment.

Of course, these insights will be expressed in extremely obscure terms, and will only be explained in a simple way.

This is, after all, an important legacy for a Lineage.

The most discussed topics were his insights into most common Cultivation Method.

Once everyone had arrived, Ye Jingcheng quickly stepped onto the platform. To Ye Jingcheng surprise, there were quite a few Lineage of the Purple Mansion Realm below.

Apart from the elders from the sect, all the elders from other Lineage were present.

For the sect, they have many insights, which is also what Ye Jingteng is proud of.

But for the Lineage cultivators, it's different; they cherish every ceremony they attend and record their insights from the teachings.

After inspection, it can be placed at home, which also serves as a form of cultural heritage.

This type of Jade Slip is the most common among all Jade Slip. Ye Jingcheng gained a lot of this kind of experience when he once killed Bandit Cultivator.

But few of them are truly useful, depending on both the preacher and the person who records them.

Both of these can vary from person to person, so sometimes, even if the preacher is skilled, if the person recording the sermon does so haphazardly, it will not be of any benefit.

Those who are skilled at recording the sermons will achieve the same result if the preacher only has a superficial understanding of them.

"Alright, everyone's almost here. Let's begin the sermon! If there are any mistakes, please feel free to point them out. I am still young and inexperienced. I've only gotten to where I am today thanks to sheer willpower, the blessings of my Lineage, and the guidance of my master!" Ye Jingcheng began by speaking, and then Ye Jingcheng started to preach. In addition to the guests, many members of the Ye Family were also listening.

What intrigued many Rogue Cultivator was that Ye Jingcheng's explanation was indeed somewhat different from that of others.

However, to the disappointment of those Lineage cultivators, Ye Jingcheng's account was somewhat one-sided.

This is caused by a lack of proper inheritance.

This means Ye Jingcheng is feeling his way across the river by feeling for stones.

This naturally disappointed those cultivators who wanted to study Ye Jingcheng.

The sermon lasted a full day, and when Ye Jingcheng finished, he felt an unparalleled sense of joy.

"Could this be a gift of good fortune bestowed by the preacher?" Ye Jingcheng wondered.

But he quickly shook his head.

If that's true, then those True Person must be preaching every day.

Ye Jingcheng still felt that it might just be his imagination.

The sermon quickly ended, and the Ye Family's grand gathering came to a close.

What intrigued the guests was that this time, the Ye Family's return gift consisted of a Mountain-Devouring Rat.

After all, most ceremony return gifts are spiritual fruits or spiritual tea.

This was the first time anyone had ever seen a live Mountain-Devouring Rat.

Moreover, weaker Lineage send away weaker Mountain-Devouring Rat, while stronger Lineage send back a smarter and more powerful one.

This is both novel and reflects the extraordinary nature of the Ye Family's Spirit Beast Lineage.

As the conference concluded, Ye Jingcheng began visiting each of the Purple Mansion Masters.

The first person he visited was Master Illusion Peak.

This includes Master Tianzhen, Taihao Master, and Liu Huan.

Liu Huan stayed until last, waiting for Ye Jingcheng to enter.

There was clearly some surprise in her eyes; she sensed that Ye Jingcheng had changed again.

It became even more difficult to understand, and at that time, she and Ye Jingcheng were both Foundation Establishment cultivators, meeting in the Taichang Mountain Range.

At that time, Ye Jingcheng also asked Liu Huan to help him exchange for Spirit Material.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng didn't completely trust Liu Huan, so some of the things he received in exchange were a mix of truth and falsehood.

"Fellow Daoist Ye has changed so much!" Liu Huan exclaimed.

"Nature changes quite a bit, otherwise how could there be the saying 'a moment of passion is worth a thousand pieces of gold'!" Ye Jingcheng waved his hand, but he was somewhat wary inside.

He sensed that something was off about this Fairy Liu Huan.

Considering what Chu Yanqing said about the connection between spirits, could it be that Liu Huan also has a spirit?

Ye Jingcheng had no doubt about this, after all, she was one of the core disciples of the Taiyi Sect.

It's quite normal to have unusual Spirit Root or special spiritual entities.

Furthermore, spirits also vary in strength and power.

For example, Chu Yanqing's spirit body doesn't offer much help in combat power.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, would you mind if we could spar sometime?" Liu Huan was clearly becoming curious about Ye Jingcheng.

"Fairy Liu, perhaps I should decline. I need to observe the mourning period for seven days!" Ye Jingcheng waved his hand and then took his leave.

They also headed towards the Zhang Family cultivators.

In his view, sparring is the most meaningless thing.

Moreover, he is at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm, which is easily discernible during a battle.

When Liu Huan Ye Jingcheng asked her that question, Liu Huan realized that she had been abrupt and apologized.

Ye Jingcheng, on the other hand, strode over to the adjacent courtyard.

Although both the Jin Family and the Zhang Family are Golden Core Lineage.

But the Jin Family clearly had ill intentions, and Golden Jade Hall was a complete wolf in sheep's clothing.

Therefore, the first family Ye Jingcheng visited was the Zhang Family.

Upon entering Zhang Quanyu's courtyard, they discovered that almost all of the Zhang Family's cultivators were studying Jade Slip to weapon crafting.

Compared to the Ye Family, they were more diligent, and they also carved various wooden magic swords or other special Spirit Treasure woods.

This made Ye Jingcheng look at him with new respect.

This will enhance the design capabilities of the Zhang Family cultivators, making their Law Artifact more marketable and practical.

It can also constantly inspire cultivators.

No wonder the Zhang Family cultivators are exceptional at weapon crafting.

However, with the Zhang Family cultivating so many Artifact Refiner, it will inevitably lead to a shortage of metal ores.

This also alerted Ye Jingcheng, because the Sand Sea Cultivation World is even more abundant in spiritual minerals.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, what brings you here today?" Zhang Yuhuai walked out of the courtyard and pulled Ye Jingcheng into the courtyard as well.

Under his instructions, the Zhang Family members returned to their respective rooms.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, to be honest, I would like to ask you to refine a protective treasure for me at a high price!" Ye Jingcheng said.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuhuai was taken aback, but then nodded.

Ye Jingcheng had only recently broken through to the Purple Mansion, so it was normal for him to need a protective treasure.

As for why Taiyi Sect didn't offer it, it's probably because they didn't have anyone more suitable for Ye Jingcheng.

As Ye Jingcheng spoke, he also took out a tortoise shell, which was the third-tier tortoise shell shed by the Vast Azure Turtle.

Its hardness is, of course, unquestionable.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, I hope to add as many minerals as possible to make this shield indestructible. There's no problem with Spirit Stone!" Ye Jingcheng said.

Zhang Yuhuai did not answer immediately, but took the tortoise shell and examined it carefully.

They were overjoyed to learn that it was a top-grade Earth Attribute spirit turtle material.

For Artifact Refiner, seeing such a tortoise shell would naturally be tempting.

"Where did this treasure come from?"
