Family Warning, the Blackwood Disk

At Soaring Cloud Peak and Soaring Cloud Lake, the ice and snow have quietly melted, and the water level in the lake has risen considerably.

The spirit fish, which had been dormant for a long time, now eagerly surfaced.

Led by the tribespeople who were feeding the spirit fish, a long line stretched across the lake.

This is also when the Ye Family counts the spirit fish.

The Ye Family now raises many kinds of spirit fish, such as Red-Node Fish, Azure-Pattern Fish, and Purple-Edged Fish, which are the most important.

As for Star-Eating Fish, they are secondary.

This isn't to say that the Ye Family doesn't value the Star-Eating Fish, but rather that their breeding skills for the Star-Eating Fish are simply inadequate.

After several unsuccessful attempts to expand, the Ye Family continued to focus on cultivating other spirit fish.

The Ye Family, after all, doesn't collect spirit fish; they're looking at the potential profits.

Among them, Star-Eating Fish also eat carnivorous food.

Instead of the spirit rice grown by the Ye Family.

"Patriarch, there have been far too few spirit fish lately!" Ye Jingmu, who was in charge of the spirit fish, was a person with four Spirit Root. His talent was not very strong, but he was enthusiastic about the Ye Family's breeding business and was highly valued by the Lineage.

Upon seeing Ye Jingcheng arrive, he couldn't help but speak.

"Hmm, it's nothing. I've been feeding a Spirit Beast these past few days!" Ye Jingcheng said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingmu breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the Lineage is in charge of fishkeeping, he would naturally be responsible if anything went wrong.

Now that Ye Jingcheng has spoken out, it means that he has not made any mistakes.

Moreover, upon seeing Ye Jingcheng arrive, Ye Jingmu stopped counting the thousands of spirit fish. Instead, he transformed the spirit rice into stardust and scattered it onto the spirit lake, creating countless ripples that caused the spirit fish to leap out of the water and frantically scramble for it. He then bid farewell to Ye Jingcheng and retreated into the Spirit Beast Valley.

After seeing the other party retreat, Ye Jingcheng waved his hand to activate the Array, then parted the lake in two directions and walked inside.

After obtaining the special key to the third-tier secret realm, he and Chu Yanqing did not linger.

Chu Yanqing's inner turmoil eased considerably, and she has now returned to continue her secluded cultivation.

He also started refining magical Law Artifact at the Ye Family's Artifact Refining Pavilion.

This made Ye Jingli extremely happy.

After all, Chu Yanqing knew the Water-Refining Method and was a second-tier top-grade Artifact Refiner, so she could give him a lot of guidance.

Moreover, it should be noted that when Chu Yanqing was in Cloud-Spreading Mountain, Ye Jingli would also occasionally go to Cloud-Spreading Mountain to study.

Despite the previous estrangement, Chu Yanqing is now practically a member of the Ye Family, and their relationship has become much closer.

As for Ye Jingcheng, he was called back at this moment.

Ye Jingcheng knew without even thinking who had eaten the spirit fish in the spirit lake.

He entered the underground hall and saw Ye Haicheng, the Turtle Ancestor, and Ye Xuefan.

This surprised Ye Jingcheng somewhat.

Since Ye Xuefan is usually in charge of the Purplewood Sect in the Azure Cloud Sea Region of the Eastern Sea, his appearance here indicates that something may have happened to his Lineage.

After all, the Secret Realm Information had not yet been shared with the Lineage.

"Fourth Grand Uncle, Great-Grandfather," Ye Jingcheng greeted them with clasped hands.

"Jingcheng, I'm here to warn you to be careful. The Purplewood Sect might be under surveillance!" Ye Xuefan said.

His expression was solemn.

After all, the Purplewood Sect is different from the Ye Family.

If someone suspects you, they'll definitely be able to find something out.

"Who's targeting them?" Ye Jingcheng asked again.

"The Vast Righteousness Chamber of Commerce and the Mystic Sword Pavilion should be the same group of Jinghao and his men who were captured last time!" Ye Xuefan's expression became even more serious as he said this.

After all, these two are the forces of the Green River Sect.

This purge by the Green River Sect and the Taiyi Sect is clearly a purge of all Lineage.

If it were connected to the Ye Family and the Purplewood Sect...

The Ye Family is in danger.

In that case, the Ye Family would need to trigger the Eastern Sea Beast Tide ahead of time to help the Earth Dragon Demon King break through.

Otherwise, the Ye Family, without Nascent Soul Cultivator, would become extremely passive.

"Fourth Grand Uncle, I don't think Jinghao and the others leaked any information, but the entire Taiyi Sect and Green River Sect have been purged, leaving no suspects, which is why we were brought up!" Ye Jingcheng had a different opinion at this moment.

Logically speaking, the Ye Family should have been extricated from the storm.

After all, the Ye Family's losses are never less than those of other Lineage.

However, if we don't look at the details and the process...

Judging solely from the results, the Ye Family is continuously developing and improving, which is worth pondering.

But the Ye Family couldn't stop there.

The Ye Family's advantage is that, apart from the absolute top echelons of the Ye Family, very few other members of the clan know anything about the Ye Family.

Things like inciting Beast Tide and substituting one thing for another are things that the cultivators on Soaring Cloud Peak know very little about.

That's why the Ye Family hasn't had their information leaked for so many years.

Those who know the Ye Family's secrets are either high-ranking members of Soaring Cloud Peak who are difficult to target, or members of the Ye Family's Hidden Peak who operate in the shadows.

Many members of the Ye family's Lingyun Peak clan may not even know of the existence of these hidden peak cultivators, let alone cultivators from other forces.

"I understand now. However, your second great-uncle and the Earth Dragon Demon King need to prepare for the Beast Tide in advance. In ten to thirty years, the Eastern Sea Beast Tide will once again reach its most terrifying level!" Ye Xuefan said.

These words imply that the Ye Family does not intend to trigger a small Beast Tide this time, and may even trigger Demon Emperor Beast Tide.

After all, filling the Beast-Link Tower requires a large number of Demon Beast Soul.

With so many Beast Soul, it's bound to attract the attention of high-level Demon Beast.

"The Lineage needs various Five Phases Elements Source Stones and Spirit Puppet materials!" Ye Xuefan then had another flash of inspiration and took out a puppet.

At a glance, Ye Jingcheng recognized it as the Five Elements Heavenly Armor Puppet inherited from the Five Elements True Lord.

The Ye Family is already capable of refining it.

"The materials for these spirit puppets in the Eastern Sea are extremely difficult to collect. This one Heavenly Armor Puppet is equivalent to the Purple Mansion cultivator. If we collect Five Elements Heavenly Armor Puppet sets and can cast Array, they will be comparable to a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator. They will definitely be useful in the future Beast Tide!" Ye Xuefan explained from the side.

Ye Jingcheng's gaze was now fixed on the Heavenly Armor Puppet, whose appearance was actually somewhat different from that of the real Heavenly Armor Puppet.

Ye Jingcheng was able to recognize it because he understood the core of the Heavenly Armor Puppet.

If one is unfamiliar with the subject, one would not associate it with the Five Elements True Lord.

This Heavenly Armor Puppet was clearly a water-type puppet, its entire body shimmering with light and radiating aquatic energy. Even its eyes held the unique gaze of Sword-Toothed Shark.

"The Zhang Family is the only one who can exchange materials for the Five Elements Heavenly Armor Puppet!" Ye Jingcheng had the materials for the Five Elements Heavenly Armor Puppet and knew that the only family that could exchange them for the materials at this moment was the Zhang Family.

He happened to be investigating the Zhang Family as well, so it was a good opportunity for them to meet now.

"Fourth Grand Uncle, I have news about a third-tier secret realm!" After Ye Xuefan telling him his story, Ye Jingcheng took out the key to the third-tier secret realm.

After revealing that it was likely the Pill Wasteland Secret Realm, Ye Xuefan's expression changed unexpectedly.

"No, absolutely not!"

Ye Xuefan spoke with such conviction that even Ye Jingcheng was stunned.

"Jingcheng, remember this: although the Lineage's strength has increased significantly, without reaching the Nascent Soul, we have no say whatsoever. Of course, even if we reach the Nascent Soul in the future, the Ye Family will still need to keep a low profile, let alone now!"

"How much do you know about Returning Goose Commandery? Did you investigate that Toxic Swamp beforehand?"

"Has the Xun Family contacted the Green River Sect?"

"And what exactly is the current relationship between the Taiyi Sect and the Green River Sect?"

"Until everything becomes clear, do not enter the territory of Returning Goose Commandery."

Ye Xuefan's series of questions served as a wake-up call for Ye Jingcheng.

Indeed, this turmoil in the Green River Sect, on the surface, was an invasion by the Green River Sect, but in reality, it was a purge of affiliated forces. At a deeper level, it was still about finding the Blood Soul Pearl.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have captured so many cultivators alive.

Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but wonder if the Taiyi Sect was involved in the easy capture of Taiqing Commandery.

After all, in this confrontation between the Green River Sect and the Taiyi Sect, the biggest losses were not suffered by the Taiyi Sect, but by its affiliated forces.

Most of them were cut up.

As for the Taiyi Sect, they only lost one Golden Core cultivator, who was nearing the end of his lifespan in the Golden Core Early Stage. The number of those who perished in the Purple Mansion stage was pitifully small.

"You should switch to cultivating your Cultivation Method first. As for the third-tier Pill Wasteland Secret Realm, send some clansmen to investigate it under the guise of Rogue Cultivator and find out about the swamp. Also, keep a close eye on the Heavenly Corpse Sect. Their Corpse Dao Secret Method are the most dreaded!" Ye Xuefan said.

Ye Jingcheng nodded in agreement.

After Ye Xuefan finished speaking, Ye Haicheng took out another Law Treasure.

It was Ye Haicheng who became the source of the Blackwood Disk for Ye Jingcheng.

"This Blackwood Disk is made of Lightning-Attracting Wood, and it has some wood-lightning effects. It works quite well!" Ye Haicheng explained.

He still had a very high opinion of Ye Jingcheng.

Although both he and Ye Jingcheng were at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion.

However, he was nearly 150 years old and at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion, while Ye Jingcheng was 72 years old and at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion —the difference was enormous.

"Thank you so much, Grandpa!" Ye Jingcheng was overjoyed to see the Blackwood Disk.

The core material of this Blackwood Disk was obtained by Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haicheng from killing a Thunder Roc.

As a result, Ye Jingcheng's four Hidden-Wing Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle are now in seclusion.

After emerging from seclusion, it is estimated that it will transform into a third-tier Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle, with even greater power in its Thunder Method. Furthermore, Ye Jingcheng can begin to cultivate and breed third-tier Hidden-Wing Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle.

"These are the elixirs the Lineage prepared for you!" Ye Xuefan also took out a Storage Bag and handed it to Ye Jingcheng.

It is well known that switching Cultivation Method also requires dispersing one's energy.

However, he is at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion, so he only needs to disperse his cultivation to the early stage of the Purple Mansion and then cultivate his True Essence again.

However, a quick recovery still requires quite a few elixirs.

Of course, with the help of Spirit Beast, the Ye Family is better off rebuilding their cultivation than other cultivators.

After chatting with Ye Xuefan and Ye Haicheng for a while longer, Ye Jingcheng prepared to leave.

This immediately made Turtle Ancestor blow his beard, becoming somewhat anxious.

Once the crisis was over, Ye Jingcheng stopped taking it with him, and it hadn't eaten Treasure Radiance for a long time.

"Young man, why don't you ask me for the Secret Method of nurturing spirit ore?" the Vast Azure Turtle transmitted its voice to Ye Jingcheng.

His eyebrows and eyes twitched constantly.

"Little turtle, how dare you be so rude!" Turtle Ancestor was about to speak, but Ye Xuefan anticipated his words.

Even though he wasn't the master of the Turtle Ancestor, he could already see through the Turtle Ancestor's thoughts at this moment.

This caused the Turtle Ancestor to immediately retract its turtle head.

Its eyes looked at Ye Haicheng with a hint of grievance, as if Ye Xuefan had said something wrong and it didn't want to stop Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Haicheng, however, paid no attention; he was more than happy to have Ye Xuefan teach Turtle Ancestor a lesson.

Of course, he also knew that the Vast Azure Turtle clan had an extremely long lifespan, and his several hundred years of life as a turtle meant he was indeed a young turtle, so it was normal for him to be a bit unruly.

Ye Jingcheng left Soaring Cloud Lake and returned to his own courtyard.

They began to examine the Blackwood Disk.

Now that he has gathered all four of his natal magic Law Treasure, although he said that the natal magic Law Treasure may need to be reforged in time.

However, the power of these four Law Treasure is definitely not weak.

Furthermore, among his four natal magic Law Treasure, the Blazing Flame Fan and the Heavenly River Pearl are purely offensive Law Treasure, while the divine light of the Heavenly Sand Seal has some auxiliary effect.

The Blackwood Disk has the strongest auxiliary effect!

It can release Blackwood Spirit Bind, which can bind enemy cultivators. At the same time, because it is made of Lightning-Attracting Wood, it also has a lightning effect.

Even for Body Cultivator, breaking free from the Blackwood Spirit Bind is not an easy task.

As the Wood Phase True Essence entered the Blackwood Disk, Ye Jingcheng also began to refine the Blackwood Disk.

Because this Law Treasure and his Cultivation Method share the same origin, it is not difficult to refine.

Ye Jingcheng successfully refined it in half a day.
