Dream-Swallowing Insect; News

Inside the hall, Jiang Jinghe carefully poured spirit wine for Ye Jingcheng.

She looked at Ye Jingcheng with incredibly expectant eyes.

Purple Palace Jade Liquid is considered a low-grade third-tier elixir, which is not difficult for some genius Alchemist. What is difficult is the Pill Formula and the rare Purple Jade Fruit.

"Ward Master Jiang thinks too highly of me!" Ye Jingcheng shook his head instead of nodding.

The distance between him and the table remained the same; he neither touched the wine glass nor the table.

Of course, it wasn't that he didn't want to refine pills, but according to Ye Xingqun, Jiang Jinghe had prepared a Spirit Beast Cubs, which he hadn't even brought out yet. Clearly, either he didn't trust him, or he wanted to back out.

However, Ye Jingcheng estimates that the former is more likely.

Ye Jingcheng suspected that the other party was testing whether he could refine it.

But how could Ye Jingcheng be someone he could test!

Ye Jingcheng stood up abruptly and said apologetically, "Ward Master Jiang, I suddenly remembered that there are still some Lineage matters to take care of, so I may have to drink Ward Master Jiang's sake another time!"

Ye Jingcheng stood up, but Jiang Jinghe waved his hand.

"No, Senior Ye, you know that the reason I was placed in Taihang Marketplace is because I don't have enough connections within the sect. Now that we have Purple Jade Fruit, if the sect were to refine it, they might only produce a portion of Purple Palace Jade Liquid, and I wouldn't even get a share!" Jiang Jinghe looked embarrassed.

He then quickly took out a Spirit Beast pouch.

"Senior Ye, this banquet invitation is just a pretext. Also, there's a Spirit Insect here that I'd like you to help identify!"

Jiang Jinghe spoke directly.

But seeing that Ye Jingcheng still didn't make a move, he took out the Spirit Insect again and again.

At this moment, he felt a little regretful, because he had previously assumed that Ye Jingcheng was just a young man under eighty years old who spent all his time cultivating and wouldn't have much ability to read people's expressions.

But now it seems that Ye Jingcheng is not only an expert in this field, but also has to maintain his dignity as Purple Mansion cultivator.

Although he was an outer sect steward of the Taiyi Sect, Ye Jingcheng was also Registered Disciple of Tianfu True Person, and thus could be considered a disciple of the Taiyi Sect.

If he really tried to play tricks on Ye Jingcheng, he would only be asking for trouble.

Only after the Spirit Insect was taken out did Ye Jingcheng hesitate for a moment.

This is a spirit egg the size of a mung bean, but its surface is covered with a black mist, as if haunted by a nightmare, making it extremely eerie.

Even Ye Jingcheng experienced some hallucinations after seeing it.

"This is..."

Ye Jingcheng's body trembled involuntarily. This size and this nightmare-like behavior were clearly the eggs of the legendary Dream-Devouring Insect.

This Dream-Devouring Insect is an extremely special existence among Spirit Insect. It seems to be able to directly devour a cultivator's Divine Soul, thereby using this soul power to forge a spirit dream.

If a cultivator is drawn into a dream, they will receive a tremendous fortuitous opportunity.

According to records by powerful figures, a Golden Core cultivator once encountered a fifth-tier Dream-Devouring Insect King by chance in the wild.

He thought he was doomed, but unexpectedly he was enveloped in a dream. Not only did he not die, but his Divine Sense broke through two levels. Later, he naturally broke through to the Nascent Soul and became True Lord cultivator. This event became a legendary tale!

"Senior Ye, I cannot understand this Spirit Insect, but the Ye Family is Aristocratic Clan Spirit Beast, so they must know it very well. A fine sword is given to a hero, and Spirit Insect should naturally be given to the Ye Family as well!" Jiang Jinghe spoke again, his eyes full of confidence.

After all, even the Ye Family certainly doesn't possess such a Spirit Insect.

However, Ye Jingcheng shook his head:

"Generally!"

These words immediately caused Jiang Jinghe's smile to freeze.

"The nightmare mist only covers half of these Spirit Insect eggs; whether they can even hatch is a question!"

"Secondly, this Dream-Devouring Insect's aura is only at the first level. A normal Dream-Devouring Insect is born at the second level, which means that this Dream-Devouring Insect's talent is definitely not very high. It is estimated that it will only grow to the third level at most, and we will have to consider providing it with a large number of spirit medicine!"

"Furthermore, Dream-Devouring Insect are all solitary eggs and have short lifespans, at most only half that of cultivators of the same level. Therefore, even Fifth Stage Demon Emperor Dream-Devouring Insect is said to only live for a little over a thousand years!"

As Ye Jingcheng spoke, Jiang Jinghe's confident smile froze.

He looked at a few more items himself, and they were indeed as Ye Jingcheng had said.

As for Ye Jingcheng saying he wasn't lying, he actually knew the truth.

If it were really that good, he himself would be raising these Dream-Devouring Insect.

After all, while Blood Pact with Spirit Insect are hard to find in the Cultivation World, he, as the owner of Taihang Marketplace, could naturally find them.

The reason he wanted to contribute it was because he felt the Ye Family should have the means to cure the Dream-Devouring Insect.

Unexpectedly, Ye Jingcheng directly pointed out everything.

The situation instantly became awkward.

All of Jiang Jinghe's self-righteous methods were ineffective against Ye Jingcheng.

If Ye Jingcheng still insists on leaving now, he can't stop him at all.

After all, he was only Foundation Establishment cultivator, while Ye Jingcheng was Purple Mansion cultivator.

"Ward Master Jiang, you really don't need to do all this!"

"If it were when my third uncle was alive, I would have to call you Uncle Jiang. Our Ye Family has always relied on the Jiang Family, and I am well aware of that!" At this moment, Ye Jingcheng changed his tone again.

The sharpness in his words vanished completely.

Jiang Jinghe was stunned for a moment.

But then he remembered something: back then, the Ye Family supported him in swallowing two more Foundation Establishment, and the other Lineage all thought that the two Foundation Establishment had ended up in the Ye Family's hands, which led to Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu's breakthroughs.

But in reality, the Ye Family must have had other opportunities.

However, neither the Ye Family nor he could talk about that matter.

"Ward Master Jiang, a hundred years is the age of a mortal, and five hundred years is the age of the Purple Mansion. The Ye Family and the Jiang Family have a long-standing friendship. In fact, I can refine this elixir with just a word from you, Ward Master Jiang, so there is no need for such roundabout methods!" As soon as Ye Jingcheng said this, Jiang Jinghe immediately apologized repeatedly.

He brought over some spirit wine and drank three cups in a row, his face turning red.

At that moment, he felt like he had been lectured by Ye Jingcheng.

The Ye Family didn't value his Spirit Insect; what they valued was his status as the head of the workshop and his support for the Ye Family.

He is an official, and as long as he has this identity, the Ye Family and the Jiang Family can maintain a good relationship for generations. Naturally, the Ye Family is also willing to let Jiang Jinghe break through to the Purple Mansion.

"This matter is settled. I, Jiang, hereby promise that as long as the Ye Family does not betray the sect, we will stand together through thick and thin!" Jiang Jinghe's words were extremely weighty.

Of course, he had no choice but to take it seriously; his lifespan was limited, and there was no way he could obtain the sect's Purple Palace Jade Liquid.

He had gone to great lengths to obtain a single Purple Jade Fruit, and it had already involved a lot of connections.

Even a third-tier high-grade Alchemist might only be able to refine one portion of Purple Palace Jade Liquid from a single Purple Jade Fruit.

It is possible that the Alchemist would keep one portion for himself.

After all, the Purple Palace Jade Liquid is of utmost importance.

Especially the Alchemist of the sect's Purple Mansion, he dared not ask them to make Heavenly Dao Oath or use Spirit-Inquiring Talisman.

The reason for wanting Ye Jingcheng to give it a try is twofold: firstly, Ye Jingcheng has a good reputation, and secondly, the Ye Family is also located in Taihang Marketplace, so Ye Jingcheng won't go too far!

Ye Jingcheng was naturally pleased with Jiang Jinghe's statement.

And the two of them finally began to eat spiritual food and drink spiritual wine.

They clinked glasses and drank merrily, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

They ate until sunset, when a ray of afterglow shone from the west, before Ye Jingcheng finally took his leave of Jiang Jinghe.

In addition to giving Ye Jingcheng the Dream-Devouring Insect eggs, Jiang Jinghe also told Ye Jingcheng that the sect already knew of Ye Qingshuang's existence.

This made Ye Jingcheng sigh.

There were many people, and everything was confusing.

Members of the Ye Family's Inner Hall, who receive support from the Ye Family through the Beast-Link Mark, are unlikely to betray the family.

However, those who lack such support and have no hope of cultivation are likely to go astray.

Moreover, not all the immortal seedlings at the Ye Family Ascension Ceremony have Ye Family blood.

However, the sect has not yet reacted, which is quite intriguing. It's unclear whether they are waiting for the Ye Family to take the initiative to send cultivators in, or whether the Xuandao True Person of Illusion Peak has protected the Ye Family.

The Ye Family has earned a considerable amount of Spirit Stone for Xuandao True Person's Illusion Peak lineage.

Illusion Peak has taken a lot of profits from both Taihang Commandery and Taichang Market.

However, he estimated that this matter could be resolved once Ye Jingteng returned to Soaring Cloud Peak to visit him.

For Ye Jingcheng at the moment, the more important thing is whether the Purple Jade Fruit can be refined into two portions of Purple Palace Jade Liquid.

If we can refine two portions, one for Ward Master Jiang and one for Ye Jingteng.

Logically, even if Ye Qingshuang went to the sect, someone would take her with her.

Although Ye Jingteng is unreliable, he still cares about his Lineage, and that's enough.

Having considered this, Ye Jingcheng headed to the Ye Family Restaurant. He changed into Spirit-Isolating Robe and, taking advantage of the fact that no one recognized him, ordered a pot of spirit wine at the window.

He continued drinking by himself. Having seen countless mountains and rivers, and countless romantic scenes, he now occasionally glanced at the bustling city and the lively restaurants, and suddenly felt a different kind of emotion.

Several Qi Refining cultivators spoke loudly, marveling at and boasting about the terrifying Demon Beast of the Taihang Mountain Range.

Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but smile as he listened.

Of course, his primary focus was on the young men of the Ye Family Restaurant.

He used to say that once some cultivation Lineage gained power, they would start to bully others by abusing their power.

This kind of trend is important for a Lineage to develop.

But it shouldn't be excessive.

Especially those clansmen who are in the early or middle stages of Qi Refining, and who are not so important to the Ye Family.

They are also the most likely to bring trouble upon the Ye Family.

That's why he asked Ye Xingqun to spend some time each year conducting undercover investigations.

Fortunately, this situation did not occur in the Ye Family. Even when some Rogue Cultivator tried to take advantage of the Spring Welcoming Tea offered by the Ye Family, the Ye Family members were all polite and did not make Rogue Cultivator difficult for them.

This is likely the reason for the fire at Ye Family Restaurant.

You should know that the restaurants owned by the Mo Family in the past would never have treated these Rogue Cultivator like this.

Ye Jingcheng stayed in the restaurant for half an hour before leaving.

Her face was slightly flushed when she left.

He did not use his Spiritual Qi to dissipate the effects of the alcohol.

At this moment, he was extremely calm and relaxed.

He wasn't afraid of anyone discovering him; in fact, if that happened, he would thank the person who discovered him.

His main activity nowadays is making public appearances in Taihang Marketplace.

He had to be extremely careful about the ten people from the Wan Family.

Even though he has already obtained two sword manuals and the method for condensing Sword Embryo.

He needs to do this.

After all, there are so many methods in this world, and it's quite possible for a powerful person to use Wan Family as bait.

Ye Jingcheng returned to the Lineage's Spirit Beast shop with great ease.

Upon returning to the Spirit Beast shop, Ye Jingcheng also took out the Dream-Devouring Insect eggs.

Although he appeared extremely calm, he was actually far from composed inside.

For others, the Dream-Devouring Insect might not hatch, but for him, with the Treasure Radiance present, there was almost a 90% chance it would hatch.

Moreover, the Treasure Book within his body was also incredibly dazzling, and this Dream-Devouring Insect actually possessed the sixth level of advanced spiritual light.

This means that this Spirit Insect has the potential to reach the Seventh Stage or even Eight Stage.

That's why he finally made the noble decision to befriend Jiang Jinghe.

Otherwise, even if the Ye Family and Jiang Jinghe had cooperated before, Ye Jingcheng would not have said these words today.

Of course, cooperating with Jiang Jinghe would indeed bring considerable benefits to the Ye Family.

Not only will it increase the Ye Family's profits in the market, but it will also provide them with a lot of information.

Take, for example, the news about Ye Qingshuang now.
