Sect Schemes, Spirit Vein Upgrade
It must be said that Ye Jingteng's plan was extremely shrewd. By bringing Ye Jinghu into the Taiyi Sect, the Ye Family would have no choice but to invest more in the sect.
At that time, in order for Ye Jinghu to grow up smoothly, Ye Jingteng had to break through to the Purple Mansion.
Otherwise, how could they help Ye Jinghu within the sect?
He will also be the one chosen for the Purple Palace Jade Liquid.
This is also why Ye Jingteng invited the four of them to gather in the bamboo forest.
Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but recall more than thirty years ago, when Ye Jingteng also hosted a banquet for everyone, all for the sake of Ye Jingteng's Foundation Establishment.
Today's banquet is a reunion, but it's still because of Ye Jingteng.
"Brother, according to you, the seven people the Lineage has currently invested are not enough?" Ye Jingcheng did not answer Ye Jingteng's question, but instead asked in return with a hesitant expression.
"Jingcheng, it's certainly not enough. The Taiyi Sect more than ten Golden Core cultivators and nearly a hundred Purple Mansion. Illusion Peak has more than twenty Purple Mansion cultivators, and there are others I don't know about. The seven people the Lineage has invested are far from enough." Ye Jingteng shook his head.
"Brother, you must understand that sects are always wary of Lineage. The reason the sect is treating you so well now is because our Ye Family is operating with a clean slate. Many people from other Lineage have joined the sect, and what has been the result? They've just faced prejudice and targeting."
"Besides, elder brother, as you've seen, our Ye Family has survived so many Beast Tide that we're even lacking in four- or five- Spirit Root. Every single member of our clan is a treasure to our Ye Family now!"
Ye Jingcheng waved his hand, and Ye Jingyun, who was beside him, also took out a jade book.
The jade book lists the number of members of the Ye Family.
The number of participants was originally going to exceed two hundred.
As a result of the chaos in the Green River Sect, only about 160 people remained.
Many of the "Xing" generation members are nearing the end of their lifespan, while many of the "Qing" generation members are still in the clan school.
This quantity is certainly enough for Foundation Establishment Lineage, but it is far from sufficient for the Purple Mansion Lineage.
When the jade book landed in front of Ye Jingteng did not reply for the first time.
"In Jingcheng's opinion, elder brother, your strategy is certainly correct, but your direction is inaccurate!" Ye Jingcheng added.
"Brother, your talent is second to none in our Ye Family. In the sect, you are naturally top-notch even if you are not at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage. With your talent, you should make more friends and take on more disciples in the sect. Instead of casting a wide net in the Yu Family, you should cast a wide net among those disciples in the sect who have talent and good character!"
"Especially those who have gone through the Ascension Ceremony. Every year, at least tens of thousands of cultivators gather in Taichang Market, and at least a quarter of them are interested in the Ascension Ceremony and tirelessly participate in the Taiyi Sect's assessment. It is held once every three years, and only thirty people can succeed each time."
"You could say they're one in a hundred. Even if their aptitude is a bit lacking, they definitely have potential!"
"In this way, the number of cultivators in the Lineage has increased, and your status in the Taiyi Sect has also risen, without any doubt, since you are nurturing members of the sect!"
"Of course, the Ye Family also provides you with a lot of support!"
Ye Jingcheng spoke, and Ye Jingteng was also taken aback.
A strange glint appeared in his eyes.
He did indeed want to strengthen the Ye Family and increase its influence within the sect.
However, what he had been considering was the strength of the Lineage cultivators within the sect.
But now, after Ye Jingcheng's reminder, he understands that as long as he is there, the Ye Family will have influence within the Taiyi Sect.
As for whether his subordinates are members of the Ye Family or other cultivators, it doesn't really make a big difference.
Moreover, this would ensure the full implementation of his broad-net strategy.
He could even use Taihao Master's name to intimidate others.
This tiger skin isn't valued in the Lineage, but it's extremely useful in the sect.
"Brother, the Lineage will always support your strength," Ye Jingcheng said solemnly again.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingteng nodded repeatedly.
"However, elder brother, I have only recently broken through to the Purple Mansion, and I am not confident that I can refine the Purple Jade Fruit immediately. I hope you can give me some time. You can also take this opportunity to solidify your foundation so that your breakthrough will be smoother!"
"To be honest, brother, my foundation was too shallow, which is why my cultivation was so unstable after the breakthrough!" Ye Jingcheng gave a wry smile, referring to all the problems he encountered after breaking through to the Purple Mansion.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingteng was deeply moved.
In his view, Ye Jingcheng was clearly considering his needs in every way!
Only Ye Jingcheng in the Ye Family believed in his great cause and trusted him!
He is not alone on this path!
In his view, Ye Jingcheng was right; the Lineage's cultivation Cultivation Method were fast, but the foundation was unstable.
The sect's cultivation Cultivation Method are not fast, but they provide a solid foundation and great power. In his opinion, a sect cultivator could easily defeat two or even three cultivators from Lineage of the same level.
Therefore, he really needs to slow down.
Purple Mansion, we mustn't rush!
Otherwise, if one's foundation is unstable, then there is no difference between them and cultivators from other Lineage.
Of course, he also knew that Ye Jingcheng skills wouldn't be that quick.
After all, he had just broken through to the Purple Mansion and didn't even have time to familiarize himself with alchemy, so how could he immediately refine Purple Palace Jade Liquid?
"Jingcheng, this cup of tea is for you!" Ye Jingteng raised his teacup and toasted Ye Jingcheng.
Then, without waiting for Ye Jingcheng's response, he drank the spiritual tea in one gulp, enjoying it immensely.
At the same time, he took out a Storage Bag.
Storage Bag were some of the spiritual items that Ye Jingcheng had previously needed.
Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng knew exactly what Ye Jingteng was thinking, but he still expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
"Brother, the Lineage will soon be opening a restaurant Spirit Beast shop in Taichang Market, returning to the Ye Family's old business. I hope you can secretly assist us. With your connections, I have complete faith in Jingcheng!" Ye Jingcheng added.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingteng patted his chest in agreement.
"Don't worry, I'll set off immediately to help the Lineage!" Ye Jingteng agreed without hesitation.
At this moment, Ye Jingcheng also raised his glass to toast everyone.
After drinking for a while, Ye Jingteng indeed left immediately.
After watching Ye Jingteng walk away, Ye Jingyun quietly gave Ye Jingcheng a thumbs up.
Ye Jingcheng casually dismissed the matter, instructing Ye Jingteng to continue acting as a liaison between the Ye Family and the Taiyi Sect.
This can be considered the Ye Family's first layer of disguise.
This disguise contains absolutely no element of falsehood.
Even if you investigate, there's no way to find out, because that's just how Ye Jingteng is.
However, the Ye Family should still make some preparations regarding Ye Jingteng.
"Uncle Xingqun, Ninth Brother, Sixth Brother, prepare some Spirit Stone and Spirit Gathering Formation. Tomorrow morning, the Ye Family's Spirit Vein will rise again!" Ye Jingcheng said.
The upgraded Spirit Gathering Formation and Spirit Gathering Spirit Stone, along with other items to enhance the Spirit Vein, were given as gifts during the ceremony.
Ye Jingcheng naturally wouldn't let the Spirit Gathering Formation go to waste and attract the attention of Rogue Cultivator in vain.
If things are arranged now, it might even help Ye Jingyu and Ye Xing shui break through their limits!
After dealing with these matters, Ye Jingcheng went to the Lineage's Treasure Pavilion to collect the remaining spirit medicine for the Substitute Spirit Substitution Method.
The main ingredient of the Spirit Substitution Method is Jinling object, and he had already collected some precious auxiliary ingredients. Now he only needs to gather some common spirit medicine.
He then returned to the courtyard and began to slowly examine Azure Puppet Shadow.
The images left behind by Azure Puppet Shadow can be viewed in real time or delayed, which is very convenient.
The only pity is that Shadow Wood is hard to find.
Otherwise, in some situations, they are even more useful than the Spirit Beast of the Ye Family.
After all, living things make people wary, but inanimate things don't.
What Ye Jingcheng found regrettable was that the Zhang Family didn't talk much at all, only about their experience with Law Artifact, and they didn't discuss the core techniques.
Although Ye Jingcheng was somewhat disappointed upon seeing this, he had actually anticipated it.
After all, if it were him, he wouldn't discuss the Ye Family's secrets in other places either.
However, judging from the fact that the Zhang family uses tortoise shells to refine treasures, there is a high possibility that the Zhang Family has secrets about the Desert Sea.
They even possessed the same Teleportation Array; otherwise, there would certainly be some perilous path to reach the Sand Sea Cultivation World.
Otherwise, the kingdoms of the Eastern Region would not be without the legend of the Desert Sea.
Ye Jingcheng pondered for a moment, then shook his head and began to study the Spirit Substitution Method.
It took me two whole days to finally thoroughly understand all the essentials of the Spirit Substitution Method.
At dawn that day, a sound transmission talisman arrived.
Ye Jingcheng called Chu Yanqing and together they went up to the top of Soaring Cloud Peak and landed in front of Soaring Cloud Lake.
The Clan Elder, including Ye Jingyun Ye Jingli, all waited with smiles on their faces.
"Uncle Xinghan, Uncle Xingqun, Sixth Brother, Ninth Brother..."
"Uncle Xinghan, Uncle Xingqun, Sixth Brother, Ninth Brother..."
Ye Jingcheng called out to each of them, and Chu Yanqing followed suit.
All the members of the Ye Family who shouted were all smiles.
After all, they knew very well that Chu Yanqing was not only in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, but also a second-level top-grade weapon Artifact Refiner. For the Ye Family, it was not only that the patriarch had gained a wife, but also that the Ye Family had gained a high-level Artifact Refiner. They could entrust Chu Yanqing to help refine any Law Artifact they had.
Of course, if they knew that Chu Yanqing was still a spirit, they would probably be even more delighted.
Each of his clansmen harbors a desire to revitalize the Lineage.
"Patriarch, everything is ready. We just need to place the high-level Spirit Gathering Formation and the third-grade mid-level spirit-gathering Spirit Stone," Ye Jingyun said.
At this moment, everyone was somewhat excited.
For cultivation Lineage, each upgrade of Spirit Vein is a major event.
Some even throw lavish banquets.
Ye Jingcheng also took out all the Spirit Gathering Formation and spirit-gathering Spirit Stone and placed them into a specific Spirit Vein.
Then he retrieved ten Storage Bag.
These Storage Bag contain Spirit Stone. Although a considerable number were given as gifts, they were all high- Spirit Stone and mid-grade Spirit Stone. The Ye Family still needs to supplement their own Spirit Stone so that the Spirit Vein will become more stable under the absorption of Spirit Stones.
After doing all this, Ye Jingcheng first put in thirty high-grade Spirit Stone, then three hundred mid-grade Spirit Stone, and finally thirty thousand low-grade Spirit Stone.
These Spirit Stone were placed in a specific order within the Spirit Gathering Formation. In the end, Ye Jingcheng also used the spirit-gathering Spirit Stone to directly activate it.
With this activation, tens of thousands of Spirit Stone across the entire mountain responded in unison.
A terrifying Spiritual Qi formed, permeating the entire spirit lake and mountains.
"Lock the spirit!" Ye Jingcheng shouted.
With this shout, boundless spiritual light suddenly appeared on the entire mountain peak, weaving into a huge net that captured all the Spiritual Qi and continued to press down.
The spirit-gathering Spirit Stone also shone brilliantly, and resonated with the original Spirit Vein of Soaring Cloud Peak.
There was a loud bang.
A faint ripple spread out from the mountain peak.
Unlike the last Spirit Vein advancement, which was conducted in secrecy by the Ye Family, this time Ye Jingcheng had already broken through to the Purple Mansion realm, and although he only possessed a third-tier low-grade Spirit Vein, there was no need to hide his advancement to a third-tier mid-grade Spirit Vein.
It can be made clear to everyone openly.
The ripple swept over everyone, giving them a jolt of energy and making them feel a sudden increase in their spiritual Spiritual Qi.
For Foundation Establishment cultivator, this Spiritual Qi is nothing special; it's just a matter of a few days of arduous cultivation.
But for those Qi Refining cultivators, this ripple of Spiritual Qi swept over their bodies, even causing the shackles of their cultivation to begin to waver.
It probably won't be long before they all break through once.
Aside from cultivators, these ripples swept over Spirit Plant and trees, making them all radiant with spiritual light.
It's as if even Spirit Plant can be upgraded.
Moreover, this ripple won't end in one go; for the next few years, the Spirit Vein will continue to emit spiritual light.
It will stop once it is completely stable.
"Set up the formation!" At this moment, Ye Jingcheng had switched to a different formation plate, which was the grand formation of the Ye family's Lingyun Peak.
In the past, due to fear and the influence of Spirit Vein, they dared not set up a large array. This time, however, it was a solid third-tier top-grade array.
It's called the Nine Heavens Cloudwater Formation!
Clouds are used as weapons, water as the foundation, and mountains as the bulwark.
Even among third-tier Array, it is by no means weak.
This grand formation is adjacent to the Spirit Vein, and the two resonate with each other.
This further enhanced the power of the three-part Array.
If Ye Jingcheng were to preside over the formation now, even four or five ordinary late-stage Purple Mansion cultivators could withstand it.
Even a Golden Core cultivator could withstand several attacks.
"This is what a great prosperity should be like!" Ye Xingqun couldn't help but exclaim excitedly at this moment.
"Madam, this is all thanks to you and the head of the family!" Ye Jingyun and the others then looked at Chu Yanqing.
These words caused Chu Yanqing to blush.
The Array was indeed created because of her and Ye Jingcheng, but the main reason for it was Ye Jingcheng's breakthrough to the Purple Mansion.
However, she was also confident that she could reach the peak of Foundation Establishment within five years and then begin her secluded cultivation to break through to the Purple Mansion.
"Ninth Brother, next, have the Lineage prepare the spiritual food for the restaurant, and also prepare a plan for Taichang Market. Before entering the Taichang Market, our Ye Family must not make any mistakes!" Ye Jingcheng then looked at Ye Jingyun.
Although he is now the head of the family, he doesn't have time to spare right now because he needs to replenish his Spirit Root.
The only option is for Ye Jingyun to make the arrangements.
As for Ye Jingli, he should just focus on crafting magical Law Artifact for the Lineage.
Its one-time use Three-Colored Bonefire Pearl is a valuable treasure.
Even the Qi Refining cultivators of the Ye Family can bring some, such as the geniuses they pay attention to, like Ye Qingyan Ye Qingwen, and Ye Qingfeng, all of whom can use the Three-Colored Bonefire Pearl.
The Ye Family could even sell some of their Bone Fire Pearl.
Fire Attribute and Thunder Attribute are both widely recognized as elements of destruction and violence.
Lightning Tribulation Pearl are extremely precious and very difficult to refine.
The Three-Colored Bonefire Pearl are much easier to refine.
With the addition of the Violet Firmament Talisman refined by Ye Jinghu, the Ye Family's Law Artifact business will also become extremely prosperous.
Once everything was arranged, Ye Jingcheng and Chu Yanqing headed towards their own courtyard!
Next, we'll complete the Spirit Root!
