Arrangements, Jiang Jinghe's Request
The setting sun cast a golden glow, slanting down alongside a vast, Green River.
A Spirit Boat away, its back to the sun.
It also crossed two equal camel humps.
The people on the Spirit Boat were all filled with chills.
This Green River is the lower Green River of the Green River Sect, and Camel Peak is the famous Twin Peaks. Further downstream, the Green River flows into the Chu Kingdom.
Ten people tried to break the seal, but what they got in return was a vicious kick from the Evil Cultivator.
They were kicked until they were dizzy and disoriented, and even now, a strange blood mark has been etched on their hands.
At this moment, they were absolutely certain that they had been captured by the Heavenly Corpse Sect.
Wan Chengjie, in particular, was filled with regret at this moment, while the Evil Cultivator suddenly increased his speed after entering the territory of the Chu Kingdom.
When they arrived at a market town, they felt a sudden darkness engulf them.
All ten people fainted.
The Spirit Boat began to fly again and landed on a remote little mountain peak.
At this moment, the figure in the Spirit-Isolating Robe removed his face, revealing Ye Jingcheng's appearance.
Ye Xuecang had warned him, so he naturally had to be careful.
Although it's impossible for the Wan Family to track them down, there's always the possibility of something going on.
Ye Jingcheng had to keep a backup plan. As for the arrangement of these ten people, Ye Jingcheng planned to place them in one of the Spirit Mountains of Azure Cloud Nunnery.
That way, even if others investigate the Ye Family, they won't find anything.
As for the Azure Cloud Nunnery's sphere of influence, there might be risks involved, and Ye Jingcheng had no choice but to later arrange for a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator the Ye Family's Hidden Peak to oversee it.
The blood patterns engraved on their bodies were not fake Evil Cultivator techniques, but genuine Corpse Blood Mark. These were Secret Method he had obtained from the Corpse Daoist he had killed before, and they were now proving useful.
Once this blood mark is etched, it cannot be removed unless the person whose mark is etched has a cultivation level exceeding that of Ye Jingcheng.
If any of them make any unusual movements or deviate from Ye Jingcheng's sensing location, Ye Jingcheng can detonate them remotely, and none of the ten will survive.
Ye Jingcheng parked the Spirit Boat, set up an isolation Array, and then looked at the Storage Bag that Wan Chengjie had given him.
Ye Jingcheng wouldn't actually protect these ten people until the location of the inheritance and Teleportation Array was confirmed.
The Storage Bag was Storage Bag, but it had a seal on Storage Bag. This seal was clearly that of the Purple Mansion cultivator, and there were no signs that it had been opened.
Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng felt somewhat at ease.
The seal was not difficult to break, and as the seal was broken, Ye Jingcheng took out the jade box inside.
Inside the jade box were several Jade Slip slips and more than twenty mid-grade Spirit Stones.
Ye Jingcheng carefully separated a wisp of his soul and began to examine the Jade Slip.
With the first Jade Slip, Ye Jingcheng discovered the location of the Zhang Family's Teleportation Array. However, the location was Ye Jingcheng; the Teleportation Array was not within the Zhang Family's territory, but within the Zhao Kingdom, specifically within the Zhao Kingdom Zhang Family of Zhao.
The Zhang Family is a Foundation Establishment Lineage. Although they are not very famous in the Zhao Kingdom, they are not small among Foundation Establishment Lineage.
Zhang Tongzhang, it's clear that the Zhang Family is a cover for the Zhang Family.
As a Golden Core Lineage, they have no fear of other Lineage in the Zhao Kingdom testing the Zhang Family.
Similarly, Ye Jingcheng finally understood why Tianfu True Person of the Taiyi Sect hadn't been able to find the exact location of the Teleportation Array in the Far Western Sand Sea.
Because this Array is not even within the territory of the Yan Kingdom.
Ye Jingcheng looked at the location recorded in the Jade Slip; it was a place called Profound Measure Mountain.
This mountain is a natural Mist Mountain. Even in the sweltering summer, mist rises and is extremely effective at blocking out Divine Senses.
But unfortunately, there are no Spirit Veins on Mist Mountain.
The reason the Wan Family knew the location was that Sword Wasteland originally also had the right to use the Teleportation Array. Although the Zhang Family changed the location several times, the Wan Family in Sword Wasteland had heard about it. In addition, the Wan Family tested it once later, and only then did they confirm the location.
The Zhang Family wouldn't even notice this, because the Wan Family knew about it through two means: first, the information left by Sword Wasteland, and second, by fortuitous opportunity, they learned about the relationship between the Zhang Family and Zhang Families.
Moreover, the Teleportation Array is already in the best location within the Zhao Kingdom's Profound Measure Mountain; in other places, it would be easily known by the Taiyi Sect.
Upon learning this, Ye Jingcheng immediately destroyed the Jade Slip.
Then continue reading the remaining Jade Slips; the following Jade Slips all contain the inheritance of Sword Wasteland's Cultivation Method.
There are two Cultivation Method here: one is the Mystical Wood Sword Scripture, a top-grade Profound level Cultivation Method, and the other is the Heavenly Jade Sword Scripture, also a top-grade Profound level Cultivation Method.
Both can be cultivated to the Nascent Soul, making them decent sword manuals.
In addition, there is another method for condensing Sword Embryo.
Ye Jingcheng had heard of the Sword Embryo before, after all, the Sword Peak of the Taiyi Sect was famous for its Sword Embryos.
The fact that this method has been revealed is enough to show that no Wan Family is keeping anything secret.
As for why there were no Earth-rank Cultivation Method, Ye Jingcheng had no doubts.
Because of the domineering nature of the Taiyi Sect, they probably already forced the Wan Family to hand over their possessions.
Moreover, the Wan Family is only one branch of the Sword Wasteland lineage, and it's hard to say whether they have the entire legacy of the Sword Wasteland.
Ye Jingcheng collected all the Jade Slips, then put all the ten people's Storage Bags into his Grotto-Heaven. Afterwards, based on the treasures inside, he added Spirit Stones and Law Artifacts of equal value and handed them over to the ten people.
As for the Storage Bags and Law Artifacts from the previous ten people, Ye Jingcheng was worried that they had been marked, so he naturally couldn't leave them behind.
Placing it within Grotto-Heaven would be best.
The Ye Family won't suffer a loss, nor will they be tracked down.
Ye Jingcheng even changed the clothes of the ten people. In addition, he gave them Bone-Transforming Pills and used the Soul-Snaring Banner to guide their appearances to change as well.
All of this took place while ten people were unconscious.
Ye Jingcheng knew the Wan Family's plan: only someone with both good looks and talent could find dao companion and sow more seeds of immortality for the Wan Family.
But how could the Ye Family allow these ten people to begin their grand scheme before they have even obtained the Far Western Sand Sea?
Having done all this, Ye Jingcheng took out the Spirit Boat.
At this moment, a spirit figure flew over from afar, revealing its face; it was none other than Ye Xueliang, Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator.
"Jingcheng, I checked, no one was following us, and no one has appeared in the valley for the past three days. I also used corpse fire to set the area ablaze!"
"Fifteenth Grand Uncle, thank you for your hard work!" Ye Jingcheng nodded, then took out the Spirit Boat, took Ye Xueliang, changed direction, detoured around the Heavenly Blade Sect from another location, and returned from the Heavenly Blade Sect's location.
Half a month later, the Spirit Boat finally arrived in Taihang Commandery. The detour was too long, and Ye Jingcheng even went around the Taihang Mountain Range.
With Demon King residing within the mountain range, even if a Nascent Soul Cultivator is tracking them, there will be a warning.
Only when he saw the Granary Mountain where Azure Cloud Nunnery was located in the distance did Ye Jingcheng gradually breathe a sigh of relief.
The Spirit Boat gradually headed towards a remote mountain range north of Granary Mountain. This mountain range was closer to the Taihang Mountain Range and was called Looking Cloud Mountain.
It is very tall, but the Spirit Vein is not large, only First-Tier Superior-Grade Spirit Vein. It used to be a Spirit Herb Garden of the Xu Family, but it was later occupied by the Yuan Family and began to fall into disrepair. Now it has been taken over by the Ye Family and can be used to settle these ten people.
After the Spirit Boat landed on Looking Cloud Mountain, Ye Jingcheng looked at Ye Xueliang:
"Fifteenth Uncle, I'll leave these ten people to you!" Ye Jingcheng had no intention of negotiating with these ten people from the Wan Family.
He also didn't intend to let these ten people have any contact with the outside world.
He promised to protect the Wan Family, but he didn't say that the ten members of the Wan Family would always be able to contact the outside world.
Giving them Spirit Veins and arranging for their clansmen to protect them is already an act of divine grace!
"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Ye Xueliang nodded.
Many members of the Ye family's Lingyun Peak have advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, while even more members of the Hidden Peak have advanced to the Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion stages. Now, Ye Xingliu is the one guarding the teleportation array.
Therefore, Ye Xueliang currently has nothing to do.
Black-Armored Scorpions can also be cultivated on Looking Cloud Mountain.
After giving a few instructions, Ye Jingcheng left, heading directly towards Taihang Marketplace.
He had Ye Xingqun impersonate him.
However, this act of impersonation could still leave loopholes. The only way to avoid leaving loopholes would be for him to go to the Taihang Mountain Range and demonstrate it again.
This is truly foolproof, Wan Family will probably be utterly devastated, thinking that the Ye Family hasn't even gone to receive the Wan Family members yet.
The distance from Granary Mountain to Taihang Marketplace is not far. Ye Jingcheng changed his appearance and arrived at the bamboo forest of Taihang Marketplace in one day.
As Ye Jingcheng walked along the familiar stone street and looked at the familiar green bamboo, he was momentarily dazed.
After all, he hadn't been to Taihang Marketplace for a long time. Thinking back to the first time he entered, he was with Ye Xinghe.
At that time, I couldn't understand any of the surrounding Array.
Now, however, everything is clearly visible.
Ye Jingcheng entered the market. As before, the market was not crowded, but cultivators could still be seen coming and going from shop to shop.
They felt either secret joy, financial pain, disappointment, or indifference.
My emotions are not much different from usual.
The only change was in the busiest shops. Apart from the Taiyi Sect, all of them had become the Ye Family's restaurant and Pill Pavilion. Only then did the Jin Family's weapon workshop and the shops of the Wei Family and Azure Cloud Nunnery remain.
Even the Earthfire Hall, which the Ye Family had suffered setbacks in the past, is now nominally controlled by the Ye Family.
The once-powerful Great Granary Xu Family, the Green Willow Mo Family, the Idle Cloud Chu Family, the Buqing Li Family, and the Mountain Yue Chen Family have all vanished from the stage of history.
Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but sigh, realizing that temporary prestige truly means nothing; only long-term inheritance can truly demonstrate the depth and heritage of a Lineage.
Ye Jingcheng walked a few steps and arrived at the Ye Family's Spirit Beast shop.
It's still the same courtyard, only now it's three times larger.
The courtyards of the two adjacent shops have also been opened up.
So upon entering, one can see dozens of Spirit Beast Cubs placed in the courtyard, and there are also three cultivators from the Ye Family.
However, Ye Xingxiao and other clansmen who were once familiar with him were nowhere to be seen.
"What kind of Spirit Beast are you looking at, fellow Daoist?" A member of the Qing generation from the Ye Family stepped forward and asked eagerly.
"Look at the second-tier Spirit Beast!" Ye Jingcheng said.
The clansman was speechless for a moment, but after sending out a transmission talisman, he quickly invited Ye Jingcheng into the room.
Inside the room was another Ye Jingcheng, who was currently meditating.
"Patriarch, you've come at the right time! Jiang Jinghe has been wanting to see you for the past few days!" Ye Xingqun, who was meditating opposite him, quickly took a Bone-Transforming Pill and returned to his original appearance.
"Oh, what does Ward Master Jiang want with me?" Ye Jingcheng, somewhat puzzled.
However, he did understand why Ye Xingqun was worried.
Ye Xingqun's impersonation of Ye Jingcheng would be almost convincing in front of others, but he would easily be exposed in front of Jiang Jinghe.
So for the past few days, Ye Xingqun has been staying at the Spirit Beast shop under the pretext of refining pills.
"I don't know, but he said he has a Spirit Beast Cubs and wants you to identify it!" Ye Xingqun said.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng became even more puzzled.
He would ask what kind of Spirit Beast would come to him for identification.
"Uncle Xingqun, you've worked hard these past few days. Everything's fine now!" Ye Jingcheng nodded, then took out a few Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle.
These Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle have never advanced to the second tier.
Ye Jingcheng simply handed the training over to Ye Xingqun.
After all, he originally intended to give the Frost Centipede to Ye Xingqun, but because of Ye Qingshuang's appearance, the latter was clearly more suitable for the Frost Centipede.
As for his two clams, they still depend on the Pill Formula. If they breed in the future, he could give some to Ye Xingqun.
"This..." Ye Xingqun was still somewhat reluctant to accept.
"Uncle Xingqun has bred these once, and I kept more than a hundred of them myself!" Ye Xingqun finally nodded upon hearing this.
After all, it's a rare Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle, more valuable than the Skywood Ant and the Five Poison Bee combined.
If one could cultivate a swarm of first-tier Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle, even just a hundred, Foundation Establishment cultivator would have to be extremely cautious when facing them.
Ye Xingqun quickly changed into the appearance Ye Jingcheng had when he entered, put on the spirit-blocking robe, left the market, and headed towards the Ye family's Lingyun Peak.
Ye Jingcheng remained in the room and indeed began refining pills, though he only refined Spirit Nurturing Pills.
The entire process took no more than three hours.
Once the elixir was finished, Ye Jingcheng finally tidied his clothes and headed towards the auction hall of Taihang Marketplace.
Ward Master Jiang usually leads the auction hall to the third floor, where there is a conference hall.
On ordinary days, important matters of the market are also discussed here.
Ye Jingcheng visited them all once.
When Ye Jingcheng arrived at the market auction hall, he saw a shrewd cultivator walk forward:
"Senior Ye, this way please. Ward Master Jiang has prepared a spiritual banquet for you!"
"Lead the way!" Ye Jingcheng wasn't surprised.
They went up to the third floor, where Ward Master Jiang clearly extremely excited.
Upon seeing Ye Jingcheng arrive, they quickly invited Ye Jingcheng in.
"Senior Ye, this way please!"
"This time, we absolutely must try the Golden Jade Fish cultivated in Jade Dragon Valley!"
The spiritual food served at the table was extremely lavish, and it seemed to have just been brought out.
Ye Jingcheng estimated that Ward Master Jiang had received the news as soon as he opened the Spirit Beast shop.
The main dish was indeed the Golden Jade Fish, a fish that Ye Jingcheng had eaten at the wedding of True Lord Ziming, and whose taste and Spiritual Qi were truly exceptional.
However, the one in front of us is clearly only at the second-tier top-grade level.
But for Jiang Jinghe, who only had the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, it was truly the best they could do.
"Ward Master Jiang, you're too kind. I'm quite flattered!" Ye Jingcheng said somewhat awkwardly.
In the Cultivation World, all good things come with an ulterior motive.
Not knowing what the other party wanted, Ye Jingcheng naturally wouldn't touch his chopsticks.
"Senior Ye, it's like this. As you know, I've reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, and my only goal now is to break through to the Purple Mansion!"
"And just a few days ago, I happened to obtain a Purple Jade Fruit!"
