Disguise and Return to the Mountain

Jin Kingdom, Yellow Mountain Prefecture, Heaven's Chasm Valley.

This place boasts the longest natural barrier and the longest rift valley in the Jin Kingdom.

At that moment, a Spirit Boat, following the direction of the crimson sun, drifted down from the sky and landed on the cliff.

A Spirit-Isolating Robe paused for a moment before stepping out of the Spirit Boat. He glanced at the boat, frowned slightly, and then stepped directly into the void.

If there were any ordinary people here at this moment, they would surely shout to stop them.

The chasm before us is known as the "One Line Sky," a deadly valley where falling from it would mean certain death.

However, if one were a cultivator, one would easily discover that what lay before them was not a cliff, but a large marketplace.

The person in front of him was none other than Ye Jingcheng.

After leaving the secret realm, Ye Jingcheng went in the opposite direction, heading towards a place far away from the Yan Kingdom, with his goal of reaching the Heaven's Chasm Marketplace, a thousand miles away.

After all, Ye Jingcheng was hunted down after killing Qing Kongying, and now Qing Xuanyuan is dead. It's inevitable that Azure Spirit Commerce Association might be desperate and investigate the Ye Family.

Although everyone involved Heavenly Dao Oath, even Madam Chen was marked beforehand, otherwise Qing Xuanyuan wouldn't have been able to keep up at all.

The only problem is that Ye Jingcheng made his first transaction with Jun Buhui at a street stall, which can definitely be traced back to that time, as Ye Jingcheng did not hide his identity.

Therefore, you cannot die Jun Buhui!

Even though he was already dead, in the eyes of the Qing Family cultivators, he could not die!

So at this moment, Ye Jingcheng also planned to transform into Jun Buhui's appearance and take a walk around the market!

As Ye Jingcheng spoke, he wiped a small stone on his chest. Now, the Stone Spirit could shrink its body. He was simply opening a hole so that Ye Shengyi Divine Sense could see if there were any Golden Core cultivators inside.

After receiving the answer, Ye Jingcheng strode forward!

Although the entire market town has many buildings, it is not very large, at most only slightly larger than the Taihang Marketplace, which is mainly controlled by the Ye Family.

The market area is mainly populated by cultivators who practice Qi Refining.

The scene where even a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator was addressed as "senior" felt both strange and familiar to Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng ignored the cultivators and headed straight for the largest spirit medicine pavilion in the market.

This spirit medicine Pavilion is a shop controlled by the Xu Family in Yellow Cloud Prefecture. They are also a Purple Mansion Lineage, and the Xu family members are third-level Alchemists.

"Bring out all the third-tier healing and cultivation pills!" Ye Jingcheng walked in and spoke directly to the person in charge inside.

Upon hearing about the third-tier spirit pill, the person in charge carefully sized up Ye Jingcheng.

Although Ye Jingcheng was wearing Spirit-Isolating Robe and a spirit-blocking veil, he still revealed half of his face, along with his Purple Mansion cultivation level and his imposing aura.

As the head of the Xu Family, he naturally recognized Ye Jingcheng as Jun Buhui from the Purple Mansion Rogue Cultivator the Jin Kingdom.

"Senior, please follow me. This treasure is on the third floor and will be delivered by our Grand Master!"

Ye Jingcheng nodded, but his words still revealed his eagerness.

This scene naturally caught the eye of the person in charge, who also showed some curiosity.

The Jun Buhui of the past was never in such a hurry.

"Senior!" The pavilion master on the third floor was an elder of the Xu Family, Foundation Establishment Late Stage and a second-tier high-grade Alchemist, who was also very famous in the Cultivation World of the Jin Kingdom.

"All the third-tier spirit pills are here, but they're a bit more expensive!" Pavilion Master Xu said.

"It's alright. Do you have any other defensive Law Treasure?" Ye Jingcheng asked again.

This time, the other person shook their head.

Ye Jingcheng quickly paid the Spirit Stones and went to other shops.

I went to three different places, and they all bought healing pills, cultivation pills, and defensive Law Treasure.

He feigned serious injury and needed to go into seclusion for cultivation.

After visiting the three places, Ye Jingcheng hurriedly flew off into the distance.

After flying for half a day, Ye Jingcheng began to change his appearance and headed towards the Yan Kingdom.

A month passed quietly, Soaring Cloud Peak.

In the height of summer, the lake is filled with vibrant Jade Lotus blossoms, and countless aquatic fish swim among them, mainly Red-Node Fish.

Moreover, many of these fish have two or three segments, and the multi-segmented Red-Node Fish has an even more delicious flavor.

This is also the result of the Ye Family's focused cultivation.

The cultivator watching the fish would scatter a handful of spirit rice every now and then, and each time it would be eaten clean by the spirit fish within a quarter of an hour.

Today, the Red-Node Fish Clan has yet to receive a monk to feed the fish.

Underwater, they transform into streaks of red light, occasionally leaping out of the water.

Just then, two figures emerged from the sky.

It was Ye Jingcheng and Ye Shengyi who had returned not long ago. For Ye Jingcheng, the clan mountain was nothing, but for Ye Shengyi, it had been a long time since he had returned to Soaring Cloud Peak.

Ye Jingcheng was slightly behind, while Ye Shengyi was slightly ahead.

Both of them were holding a basket and were constantly throwing out spirit rice.

Meanwhile, the Red-Node Fish swarmed in, vying for the spirit rice.

This immediately caused Ye Shengyi's tightly furrowed brows to relax a little, and even the corners of his mouth to turn up slightly.

Such a scene is rare, especially for Ye Shengyi. Even Ye Xuecang hadn't seen Ye Shengyi smile like this in a long time.

Ye Jingcheng was genuinely happy. He knew that this trip together was not only due to Ye Shengyi's care for him, but also because he had gained Ye Shengyi's approval.

The older generation of cultivators bears a far greater burden than the younger generation.

Just like he is now shouldering far more responsibilities than Ye Jinghu and Ye Qingyan.

"Jingcheng, you don't need to accompany me. I'm going to the Eastern Sea after taking a look. I can't stay away from the Sea-Measuring Stele for too long. After all, the Golden Light Rhinoceros Demon is just a great demon!" Ye Shengyi glanced at Ye Jingcheng and said with a smile.

He then gave all three Storage Bags to Ye Jingcheng.

These three Storage Bags belonged to Qing Xuanyuan and his two companions. They were killed by Ye Shengyi, so naturally, he was the one who took them.

"Keep it. As the pride of the Lineage, do not let the Lineage down!"

"Thank you very much, Third Ancestor!" Ye Jingcheng hesitated for a moment, but then stopped.

After all, he not only needs to prepare to break through to the late stage of the Purple Mansion, but also to break through to the Golden Core realm, which requires a lot of resources.

"This Jade Slip contains some of my alchemy experience, which I'm also giving to you!"

"Thank you very much, Third Ancestor!" Ye Jingcheng bowed again.

After Ye Jingcheng put everything away, he gradually withdrew from Soaring Cloud Lake, leaving Ye Shengyi alone by the lake, looking at the spirit fish, glaciers, white clouds, and the entire Ye Family's mountain peaks.

In the main hall of the Ye family, Ye Jinghu, Ye Jingli, and other elders of the Ye family were all waiting.

They were also somewhat curious about Ye Jingcheng's departure midway, especially since Ye Jingcheng had instructed them to pilot the pre-programmed third-tier Spirit Boat towards the Ye Family, pretending that Ye Jingcheng was inside the Spirit Boat.

Ye Jingli had some guesses, after all, he was there when the cultivator Jun was talking to Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng quickly entered the main hall.

"Uncle Xingqun, Uncle Xinghan, Seventh Sister, Jinghu!" Ye Jingcheng greeted them one by one.

"Patriarch!" the clansmen quickly responded.

"Not bad, it's quite solidified!" Ye Jingcheng's gaze then fell on Ye Jinghu, who now had an extremely stable cultivation level and had reached the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

At this age, someone in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage is almost as formidable as Ye Jingcheng.

"This is all thanks to the patriarch!" Ye Jinghu smiled sheepishly. He knew that if Ye Jingcheng hadn't been a Purple Mansion cultivator, he wouldn't have been able to obtain so many fortuitous opportunities.

Without cultivators from the Purple Mansion, they wouldn't even be able to climb Purple Peak.

After all, the Foundation Establishment cultivators were seated on the side peaks.

"Uncle Xingqun, Jinghu, have any cultivators inquired about my whereabouts in the past month?" Ye Jingcheng asked seriously after checking Ye Jinghu's cultivation level.

"Yes, my second brother was questioned by the Zhang Family's Foundation Establishment who were passing through Taihang Marketplace!" Ye Jinghu replied immediately.

"However, my second brother left earlier and didn't know you weren't on the Spirit Boat!"

"The Lineage has always assigned cultivators to refine pills in your alchemy room!"

Ye Jingcheng had given them instructions beforehand, so they naturally wouldn't make a mistake.

Only three people knew that Ye Jingcheng had left, and all three of them are still here.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the matter of the Jin Kingdom's secret realm had finally settled down.

"Patriarch, our transaction with the Jia Family has begun, and the Mystic Cloud Giant Rhinoceros is exceptionally useful..." Ye Jinghu then began to report on the Lineage's recent situation.

Although Ye Jingcheng is still the head of the family now, in reality, most of the affairs of the Ye Family have begun to shift towards Ye Jinghu!

This doesn't mean Ye Jingcheng's term of duty is almost over; rather, Ye Jingcheng really doesn't have much time left.

After learning about the Lineage's recent situation, Ye Jingcheng walked towards his own yard to begin taking stock of the harvest.
