Visitors from the Eastern Sea, Mount Tianjiao

After the Sunflower Wood Demon Blood Pact, its face was filled with humiliation and anger, and its large yellow petals swayed incessantly, still burning with flames.

It wants to burn its surroundings, to destroy everything, and turn it all into its nourishment.

Unfortunately, the Sunflower Wood Demon dared not make a move.

The domineering nature of the Soul Pact lies in this: it can only express its anger through itself.

It made the flower itself swell up to be even redder!

"I advise you not to embarrass yourself too much today. Your master is not someone you can afford to offend!" the Peachwood Demon said coldly from the side.

It felt neither aversion nor rejection towards the Flesh Ganoderma Demon Peachwood Demon, but it was quite wary of the Sunflower Wood Demon.

This Wood Demon is extremely difficult to deal with; its fighting ability is clearly stronger than Ye Jingcheng's, and it seems that Ye Jingcheng also likes the Fire Attribute.

Therefore, it felt a deep sense of dread.

Although he said that, he was actually looking forward to it, and even more furious.

However, at that moment, Ye Jingcheng glanced over out of the corner of his eye, causing the Peachwood Demon to immediately lower its head and become sullen.

After all, Ye Jingcheng was in perfect harmony with the Spirit Beast he Soul Pact with, and he knew exactly what the Wood Demon Ye Jingcheng thinking.

Ye Jingcheng did not blame him, but instead released four Hidden-Wing Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle keep a close watch on the Sunflower Wood Demon.

When necessary, it is still necessary to teach some lessons.

Then Ye Jingcheng began to practice his Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle Heaven-Opening Divine Drum Grand Array.

The next step is, after all, to participate in the secret realm expedition of the cultivator surnamed Jun. Having more methods will increase our chances of success.

Ye Jingcheng then spent the rest of his time refining pills and practicing formations.

More than half a month later, the Pill Furnace shone with a blazing spiritual light, and a blue-red celestial beetle raised its head and bellowed!

The furnace lid flew off, and several elixirs fell into Ye Jingcheng's hand, only to be stuffed back into the elixir bottle.

"I never expected to get five!" Ye Jingcheng exclaimed in amazement.

This time, he refined a second-tier Water Spirit Pill, using Spirit Material such as Mystic Silver Light Sand that he bought at the night market.

For a second-tier Advancement Pill to produce five of them is nothing short of miraculous.

It could even be considered a small breakthrough in his alchemy skills.

Ye Jingcheng placed five spirit pills into the pill bottle, and then took out another pill bottle.

Inside the bottle were two White-Brow Pills were also second-tier Advancement Pill. They had been refined not long ago, but only two had been produced.

In comparison, it's significantly worse.

Ye Jingcheng exchanged a smile, put away both pill bottles, and then took out a Profound Flame Mystic Flame Pill from his waist for the Crimson Flame Fox. The Crimson Flame Fox, with the pill in its mouth, obediently retreated.

It knew that Ye Jingcheng no longer needed to refine pills.

Among Ye Jingcheng's Spirit Beast, the one with whom he shares the deepest understanding is the Crimson Flame Fox.

He only needed a glance to give the Crimson Flame Fox an order, and the fox would understand his thoughts.

After wiping the alchemy Pill Furnace clean, Ye Jingcheng gave the Water Spirit Pill and White-Brow Pill to the five second-tier Moon Spirit Clam and White-Brow Green Wolf respectively.

Having consumed the Water Spirit Pill, the Moon Spirit Clam, upon seeing the appearance of the second-tier Water Spirit Pill, opened their bowl-sized shells, revealing large expanses of soft, white flesh.

These pieces of meat emitted a bright starlight, and between the starlight were countless Water Spirit Pearl.

These Water Spirit Pearl still looked a bit dry, clearly not yet fully matured.

But it already possesses a remarkable Spiritual Qi.

After the elixir was placed down, the Moon Spirit Clam emitted a soft, humming sound as they rubbed together, which was quite adorable.

"Once you reach the third rank, you'll be able to express your gratitude!" Ye Jingcheng said with a smile.

He had Soul Pact with these Moon Spirit Clam, and he knew they were thanking him, but because they were difficult to pronounce, they couldn't express it.

Therefore, Ye Jingcheng hoped that they would advance to the second tier as soon as possible and reach the peak of the second tier, and then seize the opportunity to break through to the third tier.

At that point, he will most likely be able to speak.

Of course, by then, it would also be possible to cultivate third-tier Water Spirit Pearl for the Ye Family.

The group of Moon Spirit Clam happily disappeared into the water, and Ye Jingcheng waved his hand to sprinkle some spirit sand that the shells liked.

Then he looked at the White-Brow Green Wolf.

The White-Brow Green Wolf was now even more robust, its muscles bulging, and its speed was extremely fast. When it ran at full speed, it was as if a breeze had swept by, leaving no trace.

If the Golden Falcon is the fastest flying bird he has ever seen.

That White-Brow Green Wolf is definitely the fastest runner, and it can also release a lot of wind blades. Its White Brow even seem to be cracking.

Ye Jingcheng reached out, and the White-Brow Green Wolf obediently sidled up to him, its tail swishing, though it appeared strangely stiff.

"Take it properly, and then break through to the third rank as soon as possible!" Ye Jingcheng rubbed the head of the White-Brow Green Wolf.

He wasn't worried about the beast's third-tier Advancement Pill, because he could obtain the necessary Essence Blood for advancement simply by going to the Green Wind Wolf Plain.

You can even buy them by spending some Spirit Stone.

Once the White-Brow Green Wolf was enveloped in a blue light, Ye Jingcheng waved his hand again.

Suddenly, a buzzing sound came from the insect chamber in the distance, and a total of 139 Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle flew out, led by the second-tier Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle King, who was in the mid-stage of the second tier.

Compared to before, there are now more than a dozen more second-tier Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle.

Naturally, the power of the insect swarm also increased significantly.

With a Hand Seals, he created a drumstick-like shape in the sky.

With a flash of lightning, boom!

A massive thunderous boom crashed into the distance.

A massive crater, tens of meters in size, exploded open, followed by a deafening roar.

"Finally, it can be considered a minor success!" Ye Jingcheng's face showed a gratified smile. Even Purple Mansion cultivator might not be able to withstand this insect array.

Then he looked at the four Hidden-Wing Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle in the distance.

He was also thinking about when he could also cultivate these four Hidden-Wing Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle.

If a swarm of Hidden-Wing Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle could be born, its destructive power would be even more terrifying!

Ye Jingcheng waved his hand, packing up all the Spirit Beast Spirit Insect. Now, he needed to prepare to keep his appointment with the cultivator surnamed Jun.

Ye Jingcheng emerged from the Grotto-Heaven. The room was still furnished as before, and the tea on the table had gone cold, but there were quite a few sound-retaining Spirit Talisman at his door.

These were clearly left behind by him during this period.

Only a few of the Ye Family's Lineage Token can transmit sound; most rely on sound transmission Spirit Talisman.

Ye Jingcheng pushed open the door, took down the communication Spirit Talisman one by one, glanced at them, and then headed towards the Ye Family Restaurant.

After noticing a distinctive mark on the door, he pushed it open and saw a monk in a black robe sitting in the middle. His face was rather haggard, lacking color, but his eyes were as bright and deep as a hunting eagle.

"Third Ancestor!" Ye Jingcheng recognized him instantly; this person was none other than Ye Shengyi.

"The Mystic Sword Pavilion and the Vast Righteousness Chamber of Commerce have recently made quite a splash. Your second great-uncle is currently unavailable, and since the patriarch happened to be free, he came over!" Ye Shengyi looked Ye Jingcheng up and down.

Feeling the profound power of Ye Jingcheng's True Essence, and seeing his cultivation improve significantly, he was extremely satisfied.

With such a descendant, how could the Ye Family not prosper?

You should know that if he wasn't senile and remembered things incorrectly, Ye Jingcheng was only seventy-eight years old, not even eighty yet.

Such a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator is rare even within a sect.

"If the Three Ancestors had many matters to attend to in the Azure Cloud Sea Region, there would be no need for such a risk!" Ye Jingcheng said.

Of course, although I said that, I was still deeply moved.

To be honest, there have been many dangers in the Ye Family from the Qi Refining stage to the present, but the Lineage always has a backup plan for him.

Like a solid support, always standing behind him.

This was clearly because Ye Xuecang and Ye Shengyi were worried that the secret realm where the cultivator surnamed Jun was located might be a trap, so they specifically asked Ye Shengyi to come along.

Ye Shengyi is a Golden Core cultivator. Although he is only False Core Cultivator has condensed Fourth-Stage Demon Beast Core, his realm is Golden Core, and his combat power can still make Purple Mansion cultivators despair.

The difference in combat power between False Core Cultivator and a true Golden Core cultivator is not significant; the difference lies in the fact that False Core cultivator has no way out.

And it does not increase lifespan.

"With Xuecang here, there shouldn't be any major problems. However, this old ancestor would like to ask you, what are your thoughts on the Zhang Family?" Ye Shengyi suddenly asked.

For the Ye Family, the most important thing is to find a safe and secure place to develop, so that they have no worries about the Ye Family.

Therefore, the Zhang Family is the most important.

"My great-grandfather and great-grandson believe that we should not act rashly for the time being. According to the Wan Family, the Zhang Family is from the Artifact Wasteland lineage and has controlled the Far Western Sand Sea for a long time. There may be more than one Golden Core cultivator behind them. If we act rashly, we may end up like lambs to the slaughter!" Ye Jingcheng paused for a moment and then expressed his views over the past few days.

"However, we cannot ignore the ten members of the Wan Family. The Wan Family are intelligent people. These ten people should be completely unaware of the outside world, and their cultivation level should not be high. As long as the danger is not too great, the Ye Family can take them to Cloud-Spreading Mountain. The Cloud-Spreading Mountain Lineage has been operating for a long time without any problems, and its Spirit Vein have been upgraded to the second-tier high-grade. This should be enough for the Wan Family to stay!"

"Yes, that's right, that's the Lineage's decision too!" Ye Shengyi nodded.

He was even more satisfied with Ye Jingcheng, but after nodding, he added:

"However, the Ye Family cannot go this time. Only the Bandit Cultivator can go, specifically the Heavenly Corpse Sect cultivators who abducted them to refine spirit corpses!" Ye Shengyi added.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng instantly understood.

He nodded repeatedly.

After discussing everything, Ye Shengyi gave Ye Jingcheng a storage bracelet.

Ye Shengyi had been staying in the Azure Cloud Sea Region for so long that he hadn't even had time to change his storage bracelet.

Fortunately, Ye Shengyi won't appear in public when he comes to the Yan Kingdom, so there's no need to change these things.

Once Ye Jingcheng arrives at the appointment, he will take Ye Shengyi into the Grotto-Heaven, where he will release him at the crucial moment.

Of course, it's best not to release it if possible.

Ye Jingcheng looked at the storage bracelet. In addition to third-tier spiritual pills such as the Profound Flame Pill and the Black Water Pill, there were also five defensive magic treasures.

Not all of these five defensive magical Law Treasure were intact; two of them had minor damage.

But for Ye Jingcheng, that was enough.

With the defensive Law Treasure and Ye Shengyi, Ye Jingcheng was full of confidence for this trip to capture the Mountain Spirit.

After leaving the room, Ye Jingcheng went to the One Leaf Pavilion and placed some second-tier spirit pills that he had refined over the past half month into the pavilion.

After finishing these tasks, Ye Jingcheng returned to his room, took out the seclusion token, and began to announce his seclusion.

Of course, I wore a Spirit-Isolating Robe to conceal my face before leaving Taichang Market.

The meeting place arranged by the cultivator surnamed Jun was not in Taichang Market, but at Scorched Heaven Peak.

This Scorched Heaven Peak, also known as Heaven's Chosen Peak, is said to have been a battleground for countless geniuses. However, two Golden Core cultivators fought here, which sank half of the mountain and destroyed its Spirit Vein.

The mountain turned black and charred, thus earning the name Tianjiao Peak (Scorched Heaven Peak).

From then on, no more prodigies came to challenge them.

It took Ye Jingcheng two hours to fly here.

The charred mountain stood out starkly among the surrounding mountains.

The mountain peak is only half-formed, with most of the upper part appearing as if it had been cut in half by a sword.

The cut was extremely clean.

Ye Jingcheng patted his hand three times, then lifted a corner of the veil of his Spirit-Isolating Robe, revealing half of his face.

Then, the distant void began to sway.

These two gestures were the secret signals given to him by the cultivator surnamed Jun.

Soon, a cultivator emerged from the void, indicating that there was Array there.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, you are indeed punctual. Please come in quickly!" Surprisingly, the cultivator surnamed Jun did not wear the spirit-blocking veil this time, and his face was revealed.

It seemed that this would give everyone a greater sense of security.

This cultivator surnamed Jun was extremely young, appearing to be at most a little over a hundred years old.

Purple Mansion, who is over a hundred years old, can definitely be called a little genius.

Ye Jingcheng knew even better that this cultivator surnamed Jun was actually at the late stage of the Purple Mansion, not just at the early stage as he appeared on the surface.

"Brother Jundao, are the people not all here yet?" Ye Jingcheng asked, glancing into the Array.

The cultivator surnamed Jun didn't hide anything and led Ye Jingcheng directly into the Array.

After passing through the Array, seven pavilions came into view.

Inside each of the four pavilions, a cultivator from the Purple Mansion realm was meditating.

"This secret realm inheritance is likely to be Fourth Stage or higher inheritance, with extraordinary mysteries, which is why I, Jun, have invited so many fellow cultivators," the cultivator surnamed Jun explained with a smile.

"I have invited six people in total, including you, fellow Daoist. Of course, whether you go or not is up to you to decide later."

"But at this moment, please forgive me for not being able to explain the reasons in detail!" the cultivator surnamed Jun explained.

Upon hearing about the secret realm of a Fourth Stage Golden Core True Person, Ye Jingcheng's eyes lit up with considerable interest.

He then nodded and found a pavilion to sit down.

Of course, his gaze was directed towards the other four pavilions.

What caught Ye Jingcheng's attention the most was the only female cultivator among them.

He recognized him as the cultivator who had bought the third-tier Mysterious Lakewood Heart.

One could even say, "Life is full of unexpected encounters."

"What is your surname, fellow Daoist?" Ye Jingcheng pondered for a moment, unable to recall the female cultivator's name, before asking.

But to his surprise, the other party completely ignored Ye Jingcheng.

They continued to keep their eyes closed, as if they looked down on Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng was not angry at this, but instead looked at the cultivators in the other three pavilions with interest.

The three cultivators in these three pavilions were all male; one was an old man with white hair, and the other two were middle-aged cultivators.

And none of them wore spirit-blocking veils; like Ye Jingcheng, their faces were exposed.

Ye Jingcheng recognized two of the middle-aged cultivators; they were the patriarchs of the Purple Mansion Lineage with considerable renown in another country.

The elderly cultivator appeared to be a Rogue Cultivator.

Upon seeing Ye Jingcheng, the three of them politely returned a smile, and then did not exchange any further words.

So we continued to wait.

After waiting a while, the Array flickered again, and the last cultivator entered the Array.

All seven are together!
