The Visitor Means Trouble? A Hidden Cache of Spirit Herbs
"Oh, so this Purple Moon Rose was watered with the blood of whose family?" A sudden voice rang out.
The two cultivators, one fat and one thin, jerked back and instinctively threw Spirit Talisman at Ye Jingcheng.
However, when their eyes turned to Ye Jingcheng, they only saw a Soul-Snaring Banner land in front of them.
The light of the Soul-Snaring Banner instantly engulfed both of them.
Their excited expressions also began to fade.
As for the two Spirit Talisman thrown out, they were only second-tier high-grade Spirit Talisman. Although they were extremely powerful, they both fell into the transparent spirit bowl and disappeared without even causing a ripple.
The two were only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and were now completely captivated by the Soul Seal, unable to resist at all, like wooden puppets.
Ye Jingcheng initially thought there were two Purple Mansion, so he was extremely cautious.
But upon closer examination, the entire Yan Kingdom didn't have many Purple Mansion.
It's impossible for two Purple Mansion to lie here and wait.
If he could freely send out two Purple Mansion, Ye Jingcheng would have no choice but to flee for his life.
"Who are you two, and what brings you here?" Ye Jingcheng still assumed that the two were just Rogue Cultivator who had been hired.
"Xuan Wu, Xiao Liu!" the two answered, stunned.
"We've come to find the descendants of the Chu Family, on orders from the Xun Family!"
"You're lying!" Ye Jingcheng suddenly shouted, and his shout immediately caused blood to flow from both of their six orifices, with the bleeding occurring at exactly the same time.
Apart from some differences in blood volume, the other reactions were the same.
Ye Jingcheng, however, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
The world is full of Secret Method, and there are quite a few that can defend against third-tier soul-capturing attacks.
So his drink just now was nothing more than a test.
He could tell if one of the two people inside was faking it.
Ye Jingcheng continued to capture souls.
"Have you found any descendants of the Chu Family?"
"Once you find it, hand the Jade Slip to him!" One of the thin cultivators from Xuanwu took out a Jade Slip.
His body remained motionless, clearly still under the influence of the mind-controlling technique.
Ye Jingcheng also took the Jade Slip and handed it directly to Chu Yanqing, who was standing next to him.
Before becoming dao companion, Ye Jingcheng could be extremely cautious, but now that dao companion are, his partner is no longer an innocent child.
Ye Jingcheng still needs to be given enough respect.
"Brother Cheng, it should be fine. This is my Ninth Aunt's handwriting, and it doesn't mention that matter at all." Chu Yanqing also glanced at the contents of the Jade Slip eagerly.
He then immediately added to the list.
"They want me to return to Returning Goose Commandery, saying that Returning Goose Commandery can protect the cultivators of the Chu Family!" Chu Yanqing added.
As for why they didn't avoid Xuan Wu and Xiao Liu, it was naturally because they didn't intend to keep these two alive.
Regardless of whether this person was sent by the Xun Family of the Purple Mansion, the Ye Family would not be able to contact them.
Otherwise, it would be considered collusion with the Green River Sect.
The Yuan Family also fell into ruin in the same way, so Ye Jingcheng naturally wouldn't repeat their mistakes.
The Taiyi Sect must be itching to get back at those who have sided with the Green River Sect.
Anyone who dares to emerge will now face the most severe consequences.
Ye Jingcheng would naturally not leave any hidden dangers, and besides, the things these two discussed before their arrival should also be dealt with.
As the two flying swords passed by, the two men died instantly.
For a cultivator at the Purple Mansion to kill Foundation Establishment cultivator is far too easy.
It was precisely this simplicity that made Ye Jingcheng even more vigilant.
If killing Foundation Establishment is easy for the Purple Mansion cultivator, then killing Purple Mansion is even easier.
Therefore, he needs better concealment.
When switching Cultivation Method, promoting the consolidation of one's cultivation level to the outside world is his best approach going forward.
After all, he has indeed been at the height of his fame these past few years.
"You can keep these two Storage Bag; they're useless to me now!" Ye Jingcheng handed the two Storage Bag directly to Chu Yanqing.
Chu Yanqing did not refuse, took the Storage Bag, and began to take out treasures in front of Ye Jingcheng.
The two are currently at Idle Cloud Peak, which used to be the territory of the Chu Family and has now become the ancestral mountain of the Wei Family, which is also leased to the Ye Family on a long-term basis. Naturally, there is no reason for them to worry about anything more.
At the same time, this was also Chu Yanqing showing Ye Jingcheng that she was not holding back.
The two Storage Bag contained nothing but some second-tier Law Artifact.
Ye Jingcheng also gained nothing, not even a single spirit medicine.
These two Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator were surprisingly poor.
"Brother Cheng, I think there might be a change in the third-tier secret realm, and my Ninth Aunt is urging us!" Now that the two Rogue Cultivators are dead, Chu Yanqing no longer needs to hide anything.
Ye Jingcheng nodded as well.
That's quite possible.
Ye Jingcheng had already silently read through the Jade Slip in Chu Yanqing's hand using his Divine Sense.
There was no hidden information.
It's because her Ninth Aunt has some power in the Xun Family that she can protect some Chu Family.
The remaining Chu Family were sent to the Xun Family in Returning Goose Commandery.
However, Ye Jingcheng was also clear that it must involve a third-tier secret realm, because Chu Yanqing had information about third-tier secret realms and had told him about it before.
The fact that they are searching so urgently suggests that they must know about the third-tier secret realm.
"There's no rush. They're still looking for us, which means they don't know the exact location of the third-tier secret realm. They're just waiting for you to come to them. Just as you said, your Ninth Aunt is so anxious that she even sent two rogue Rogue Cultivator with such strong resentment to deliver Jade Slip to you. Aren't you afraid that they might try to rob you?" Ye Jingcheng said.
Many Bandit Cultivator Rogue Cultivator, even those acting on behalf of others, will resort to underhanded tactics.
As for asking them to be honest, it's as difficult as asking them to give up their spiritual practice.
This is why cultivators from sects prefer to associate with cultivators from Lineage.
It is precisely because Rogue Cultivator have no scruples, can do as they please, and are difficult to control.
"Brother Cheng, I'll listen to you, but..." Chu Yanqing hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.
Ye Jingcheng's words made a lot of sense, but at this moment, she was a little worried about her ninth aunt.
After all, her people are dwindling in number.
Aside from Ye Jingyong's wife, Chu Yanliu, it's very likely that only this Ninth Aunt is left.
"I know you're worried about your ninth aunt, but judging from this news, if something really happened to her, isn't her sending this message also a way of telling you that she's safe and that you don't need to worry about her?" Ye Jingcheng added.
"Perhaps your going to Returning Goose Commandery now would only cause her more trouble."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yanqing finally nodded.
Although she still had many thoughts in her mind, she also knew that her most important task now was to break through to the Purple Mansion.
The two then concealed themselves once more and headed towards Idle Cloud Peak.
Now, the grand formation of Idle Cloud Peak has also become the Array of the Ye Family.
He could enter all of the Ye Family's Array using the family head's token.
Once inside the mountain, it became clear that Idle Cloud Peak was functioning normally.
Furthermore, many cultivators on the mountain are currently moving between the various spiritual fields and Spirit Herb Garden of the Spirit Mountain.
The two then quietly arrived at a spiritual field of purple roses.
These roses are blooming exceptionally brightly, like clusters of purple flowers.
Looking at these purple roses, Chu Yanqing knew perfectly well that they were not watered with the blood of the Chu Family cultivators.
It was just some ordinary Beast Blood.
It was arranged by the Wei Family.
Given the Wei Family's previous connections with the Green River Sect, Chu Yanqing felt that there was a high possibility that her ninth aunt had encountered some trouble.
After all, the matter of the third-tier secret realm is of great importance; it concerns whether a Purple Mansion Lineage can become a Golden Core Lineage.
It is highly likely that the Xun Family of the Green River Sect conspired with the Wei Family.
It's even possible that this secret realm contains spirit medicine can help one break through to the Golden Core stage.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Chu Tianfen to place such a large bet.
At this moment, the last rays of dusk faded away, and the purple roses gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Chu Yanqing finally moved.
She began to wander around Idle Cloud Peak, having changed into a white robe.
Although still shrouded in Five-Colored Dao Robe, he remained hidden on Idle Cloud Peak.
Furthermore, one should not burn sandalwood to send fragrance to the deceased.
But at this moment, she is silently observing mourning in a corner where no one knows.
Unlike Ye Jingcheng, she would stay in the ancestral hall.
She likes to spend some time in every place.
Sometimes she would tell Ye Jingcheng the origin of this story, and she would also tell the air about her past anecdotes.
At the same time, she would sometimes mutter to herself, or even drift off into a daze.
Sometimes, they would even sit cross-legged on the spot.
Ye Jingcheng, on the other hand, followed quietly, step by step.
For Chu Yanqing, this was not only about finding information about the secret realm, but also about cultivating her State of Mind and preparing for breaking through to the Purple Mansion.
Even with Ye Jingcheng's Purple Mansion Purple Palace Jade Liquid, there's no guarantee that a cultivator will break through.
However, it can still increase the chances by 30%. If State of Mind is good enough and one is not Heart Demon Tribulation, the chance of a successful breakthrough can reach 50% to 60%, plus the amplification from Chu Yanqing's spiritual body.
Breaking through the Purple Mansion is almost 70-80% possible.
Normal cultivators only achieve 10-20% success rate when breaking through to the Purple Mansion, while those with Purple Palace Jade Liquid achieve 40-50%.
Chu Yanqing can achieve 70-80% of that, she is already exceptionally talented.
Thirty days in white robes, as the sun rose, a wisp of purple qi rose from the east.
Chu Yanqing found some yellow soil in front of the back mountain and made several memorial tablets.
Among them are the memorial tablets of Chu Tianfen, Chu Xiyu, Chu Xiyu, and others.
After the memorial tablets were prepared, she arranged them all and then presented them with offerings of fruit, sandalwood tea, and spirit wine.
After doing all this, Chu Yanqing put the memorial tablets into her Storage Bag.
Ye Jingcheng knew that Chu Yanqing still wanted revenge.
Although this might embroil the Ye Family in trouble, he knew that this was only natural, so he wasn't surprised.
After all, Chu Yanqing had already made a great sacrifice by being able to put aside her "Yan" generation name and be called Chu Qing, so Ye Jingcheng naturally didn't expect Chu Yanqing to have really become a different person.
"Brother Cheng, I'm all better now. I have enough time to break through!" She blew up a lot of white mist, which she made look like sandalwood incense.
She rose into the sky with the purple light, and only came to her senses after it disappeared from sight.
At this point, the last trace of tears in her eyes disappeared, and she looked at Ye Jingcheng with unwavering determination.
This is the ultimate belief in one's breakthrough to the Purple Mansion.
She led Ye Jingcheng toward the largest Spirit Herb Garden.
In the center of the Spirit Herb Garden stood a huge black ironwood tree.
The wood is covered with weathered patterns.
"This tree is the most powerful spiritual tree in our Idle Cloud Mountain, the Thousand-Year Idle Cloud Sinking Ironwood."
"This wood is incredibly heavy, but it also holds a secret within—a Pill Wasteland Token!"
"According to what Ancestor Tianfen said, this token should be the key to the entrance to the third-tier Pill Wasteland Secret Realm!" Chu Yanqing continued.
Even Ye Jingcheng was extremely surprised by these words.
He went forward to examine the heavy ironwood, and finally, at the base, he discovered something different—a piece could be extracted.
This corner, like a key, is inserted into the tree trunk and blends in seamlessly with it, making it extremely difficult to distinguish.
Now that it's in my hands, I can see that it has many array patterns, and they are extremely well hidden. No wonder the Wei Family didn't discover it.
After all, everyone has heard of treasures hidden in spirit boxes and Spirit Beasts, but no one has ever heard of treasures spirit medicine.
Even a thousand-year-old ironwood tree wouldn't be casually used to refine magical Law Treasure.
After all, Wood Attribute Spirit Material are recognized as precious and rare even in the Cultivation World.
Moreover, upon closer inspection, one can indeed see the words Pill Wasteland).
However, these two characters are extremely ancient.
Ye Jingcheng was deeply shaken.
He hadn't expected that this Chu Family secret realm was indeed left behind by the Eight Desolations Sect, and that it was an exceptionally remarkable Pill Wasteland Secret Realm.
Such a secret realm would not only contain many treasures, but also a large number of elixirs and Pill Formula.
Although the Ye Family now has many elixirs and Pill Formula, they are still far behind the Pill Wasteland of the Eight Desolations Sect.
Moreover, Chu Yanqing seemed to be giving up and had no intention of searching for it.
This means that Ye Jingcheng can also invite the rest of the Ye Family members.
A third-tier secret realm is not like a second-tier secret realm, and Ye Jingcheng was still somewhat apprehensive. More clansmen meant more peace of mind.
After all, it's quite possible that there are top-grade level three demons in a level three secret realm.
After all, back then, even in the second-tier Desolation-Suppressing Secret Realm, there were almost peak-level Golden Falcon roaming inside.
He didn't believe that just because he was now in the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion, he was invincible.
It is not possible for Fourth Stage True Person or Fourth Stage Demon King to appear in a third-tier secret realm.
He even planned to take the Earth Dragon Demon King into the secret realm.
After all, this is the safest approach.
Furthermore, the Earth Dragon Demon King also needs a sufficient number of Beast Soul to fill the Beast-Link Tower.
