Truth and Falsehood, Skyreach Pavilion

The spring breeze, mixed with a continuous drizzle, falls on the undulating mountains, stirring up layers of mist that seem to stretch endlessly.

Looking down from the mountain peaks, one can see an even more spectacular sight: a sea of the Mist Sea churning and rolling like ocean waves.

Two figures emerged from the mist, one after the other.

"Brother Cheng, is that Profound Measure Mountain?" Chu Yanqing asked telepathically.

Her gaze pierced through much of the fog and she saw a white, misty mountain peak.

However, the mountain peak was shrouded in even denser fog, making visibility even lower, so much so that even cultivators could not see it clearly.

"Yes, that's it. I didn't expect the fog to be so thick in spring!" Ye Jingcheng nodded; he hadn't anticipated the fog being so dense in the distance.

But it is precisely because of this endless white mist that the Zhang Family's Teleportation Array is more likely to be hidden there.

How did the Ye Family hide their Teleportation Array?

It's the same as creating heavy rain and Dark Clouds to prevent the fluctuations of the Teleportation Array from being transmitted.

"Wait until the fog clears up a bit before using Star Illusion Eye. Using it now might be a bit of a stretch!" Ye Jingcheng said.

He then led Chu Yanqing forward.

The thick fog obscured not only Ye Jingcheng and his companion, but also other cultivators without spiritual eyes.

This also provided Ye Jingcheng and his companion with an opportunity to get closer together.

Moreover, Ye Jingcheng estimated that the Zhang Family in Wuliang Mountain were most likely to be cultivators of the Purple Mansion.

A Golden True Person would likely be stationed at Eternal Peace Mountain or the Far Western Sand Sea.

Therefore, he also estimated the range of his Divine Sense and decided to move forward as far as possible.

They reached the range of Ye Jingcheng's Divine Sense, which he considered alarming.

He then took out a piece of Shadow Wood from his robes.

Seeing this, Chu Yanqing also became somewhat curious.

She recognized Shadow Wood, but she didn't know what special functions Shadow Wood had. Most Artifact Refiners used Shadow Wood to create concealment Law Artifacts.

And Ye Jingcheng did indeed go on to dig and plant trees.

A piece of spirit wood was replaced with Shadow Wood.

And then he used Secret Method.

The Shadow Wood was transformed into Shadow Wood Puppet.

The Shadow Wood was collected by the Ye Family in recent years. There were only three pieces, and all three are now in Ye Jingcheng's possession.

Once refined into Shadow Wood Puppet, its Spiritual Qi energy will be concealed, and it can also monitor Profound Measure Mountain.

Although the distance and heavy fog may limit the effectiveness.

This way, we can avoid alerting the enemy and keep an eye on whether the Array has moved.

Once the Shadow Wood was set up, Ye Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Ye Jingcheng infused the Shadow Wood with some Treasure Radiance, making it grow faster and harder to detect.

After doing all that, Ye Jingcheng led Chu Yanqing away to a safer distance.

The thick fog didn't dissipate much until the afternoon, and a scorching sun finally arrived, shining its light on the towering mountains.

Countless leaves, damp with dew, shimmered with a beautiful light.

Only Profound Measure Mountain remains shrouded in mist, impossible to see through or penetrate.

At this moment, the two had finished setting up the Array, and Chu Yanqing began to use the Star Illusion Eye.

With a ray of starlight, Chu Yanqing finally saw through the dense fog.

"No one lives inside, and there are quite a few mist grass flowers!" Chu Yanqing shook her head and said.

"Hmm, then there's no need to look. The Teleportation Array should be underground!" Ye Jingcheng replied.

There's a high probability that the Teleportation Array is inside the mountain.

At present, Chu Yanqing's Star Illusion Eye can only be considered to have reached a minor level of mastery. Seeing through the fog is already a remarkable skill.

It would be extremely difficult to see through the Array and the mountain itself.

But the fact that it's planted with mistwort already signifies a lot.

After all, the mountains here shouldn't be able to support so many mist grass flowers.

These mist grass flowers are, after all, spiritual flowers. If the Zhang Family didn't have plans on the mountain, they wouldn't have needed to go to such great lengths to plant them.

Aside from creating this miasma, the mist grass flower has no other use.

"No, there seems to be another rift valley and a cave entrance up there!" Chu Yanqing said again.

"Someone flew out from inside!" Just then, Chu Yanqing abruptly withdrew her gaze.

Before Ye Jingcheng, a Shadowless Bowl descended, enveloping the two of them.

The two figures vanished without a trace.

Two figures flew out of Profound Measure Mountain in the distance. One of them, a slightly fat figure, paused involuntarily. He looked around with some surprise and doubt, but after scanning the area with his Divine Sense, he found nothing.

"Yuqing, have you found anything?" a figure beside him asked.

"Strange, I felt like someone was watching me just now!" Zhang Yuqing's face twitched, full of doubt.

"You mean when you left the valley?" a figure beside him asked, puzzled.

"Yes, logically speaking, with the miasma array, Divine Sense shouldn't be able to penetrate it. You know, I wear Heavenly Jade around my neck, which is extremely sensitive to Divine Sense and eyesight!"

"Yuquan, do you think the Green River Sect that the Ancestor mentioned has arrived?" Zhang Yuqing asked.

"It's possible. After all, the Wan Family was wiped out some time ago. Let's check it out first, but don't check too much. If they really go up the mountain, the Array inside will definitely give them a hard time!" Zhang Yuquan also transmitted his voice again.

Their gazes instantly became somewhat profound.

The two piloted the Spirit Boat, flew around Profound Measure Mountain once, and then flew off into the distance.

When the two were some distance away, behind the mountains and forests, a transparent spirit bowl remained quietly covered.

Chu Yanqing also looked at Ye Jingcheng, clearly asking if she could leave.

Ye Jingcheng shook his head slightly.

The two waited for another three hours before the Shadowless Bowl slowly began to move.

"Yan Qing, try using your Star Illusion Eye to look at me?" Ye Jingcheng asked, then turned his back to Chu Yanqing.

He felt that the Zhang Family might have discovered them.

But in fact, within the Pill Wasteland Secret Realm, when those Star Pear Tree Star Illusion Eyes, they were unable to sense the Star Pear Tree Demon.

And indeed, Ye Jingcheng did not sense Chu Yanqing's Star Illusion Eye gaze.

This kind of vision is extremely difficult to see unless you make eye contact, and most vision is detected when you are looking into the other person's eyes.

Someone like Chu Yanqing shouldn't be able to detect it.

However, the other party engaged in some strange surveillance activities.

Moreover, this action gave him the feeling that it was somewhat just for show.

If this were the case with an ordinary Spirit Herb Garden of an ordinary Lineage, Ye Jingcheng would think it was normal. But this was the location of the Zhang Family's Teleportation Array, which could be said to be the lifeblood of the Zhang Family.

But the Zhang Family's relaxed attitude is utterly unreasonable.

If it were Ye Haicheng from Earth Dragon Valley who discovered someone was watching, he would never let it go so easily; he might even summon the entire Ye Family.

However, through the Shadow Wood Puppet, he did indeed see two figures riding away in Spirit Boat.

Moreover, the speed of this Spirit Boat should be that of a third-tier Spirit Boat.

Those two were cultivators of the Purple Mansion.

"Let's go straight to New An Marketplace!" Ye Jingcheng was also a little puzzled for a moment.

However, he felt he could no longer see Profound Measure Mountain clearly.

After all, wouldn't the Zhang Family be wary of the Wan Family?

This is a very tricky problem.

If the Ye Family makes a move in the future, and there is no Teleportation Array in Profound Measure Mountain, then the Ye Family will undoubtedly be exposed to the Zhang Family.

That was definitely not good news for the Ye Family.

The reason the Ye Family was able to develop steadily was because Ye Family were operating in the shadows.

During the rest of the journey on the Spirit Boat, Ye Jingcheng appeared rather deep in thought, seemingly lost in contemplation.

Seeing this, Chu Yanqing did not disturb him, but quietly stood by his side to protect Ye Jingcheng, while observing the speed of the Spirit Boat and the surrounding movements.

This time, they did not continue their journey from Mountain Ling Commandery to New Peace Commandery.

Instead, they changed direction, first leaving Mountain Ling Commandery and entering the Yan Kingdom, before turning towards New Peace Commandery.

Once again, the sun rises in the Red Sun, its crimson rays shining down from the eastern mountains.

A Spirit Boat, following the sunlight, slowly approached the mountain ridge.

In the center of the mountains, there is a huge lake.

This lake is also known as New Peace Lake.

New An Marketplace is located on Lakeheart Island of New Peace Lake.

Legend has it that a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator once tried to seize treasures in New An Marketplace on the Lakeheart Island, but was swallowed whole by a three-headed snake raised at the bottom of the lake.

The three-headed snake is also the Spirit Beast of the Xin'a Ling Family Lineage.

This also contributed to the renowned reputation of New An Marketplace.

"Brother Cheng, we've arrived!" Chu Yanqing said softly from the Spirit Boat.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng finally realized what was happening.

"Yes, I'm fine!" Ye Jingcheng and Chu Yanqing had changed their appearances, so there was nothing to worry about.

Even so, he still took out the Spirit-Isolating Robe and covered his own body with it.

In this way, even if someone secretly sees through the Spirit-Isolating Robe, they will not know their true identity.

Ye Jingcheng sighed helplessly at this moment.

In the past few days, he has considered all the possibilities.

The conclusion drawn is that Profound Measure Mountain may be a trap.

The true location of the Teleportation Array may have changed; it could be in the Zhang Lineage's mountain range, or it could be in another location within the Zhang Family.

The Ye Family will most likely have to take a risk at that time.

At the same time, the Spirit-Extinguishing Locusts in the Ye Family Hidden Valley might be the key!

The location of the Teleportation Array must be within the territory of the Zhang Family in Mountain Ling Commandery, but the area is vast and extremely difficult to find.

Moreover, if they could deduce that the Zhang Family was the Zhang Family, the Zhang Family itself could also deduce that.

At the same time, other Lineage may also be controlled by the Zhang Family.

If they still can't find it by the crucial moment, the Ye Family may have no choice but to launch Spirit-Extinguishing Locust plague to locate the Teleportation Array.

Of course, this was a last resort, and Ye Jingcheng had already relayed the news back to his Lineage.

Right now, what's most important to him is to acquire the Spirit Gathering Formation and Spirit Attracting Spirit Stones to enhance the Spirit Veins of his Grotto-Heaven, and then break through to the peak of the Purple Mansion realm, or even the Golden Core realm.

The two fell from the Spirit Boat and landed beside New Peace Lake. The lake shore was covered with willow trees about a foot wide.

As the breeze blew, countless willow branches gently brushed the surface of the lake, creating tiny ripples.

If it weren't for the Zhang Family's affairs, Ye Jingcheng might have actually had the leisure to properly appreciate the spring scenery of Linghu Lake.

Ye Jingcheng took out a token, and as the token lit up with spiritual light, a wooden boat began to appear on the lake.

There were no cultivators on the wooden boat; it was as if they had appeared out of thin air.

If an ordinary person saw this scene, they might be surprised, but for a cultivator, it would be immediately obvious that there was an illusion in the lake!

"This New An Marketplace requires a referral token, but it's different from those in other markets. This one is purely extra income for the market and can be bought for just five Spirit Stones!" Ye Jingcheng explained.

A slight hint of envy appeared on her face.

The Taihang Marketplace hasn't started accepting Spirit Stones as an entry point yet. When the Taihang Marketplace starts accepting Spirit Stones, it will mean that the Ye Family has reached a certain level of prominence.

The Ye Family now frequently trades with the Jia Family and occasionally visits New An Marketplace.

This guiding order naturally exists.

The wooden boats on the lake weren't large, only able to hold two people, but they were surprisingly fast.

Before long, we reached the center of the lake, where a Lakeheart Island suddenly appeared.

On the island, streets crisscross, and houses are mostly made of blue bricks and black tiles.

It was a lively and bustling scene.

Ye Jingcheng sensed the number of cultivators in the market and smiled slightly.

"It seems the auction hasn't started yet!"

Regardless of the market, the eve of an auction is always the busiest time, because the auction will feature treasures that are rarely seen at other times.

There were even guides heading towards Ye Jingcheng and Chu Yanqing.

However, Ye Jingcheng refused. He had information about his Lineage and didn't need a guide; he could be Chu Yanqing's guide himself.

He introduced the situation of the market to Chu Yanqing.

Chu Yanqing smiled slightly. Although she didn't say anything, Chu Yanqing Ye Jingcheng see that she was happier in her eyes.

After all, no matter what happened before, he only stayed at Soaring Cloud Peak.

Even though cultivators spend most of their time cultivating, their perception of time remains the same.

It always feels like being in a cage.

Ye Jingcheng also accompanied Chu Yanqing and bought some treasures.

The shops in New An Marketplace sell even more elixirs and miraculous spirit medicines.

After wandering around for a while, they finally arrived at the Ling Family's shop, Skyreach Pavilion.

"Do you have any array plates of level three or higher here?" Ye Jingcheng asked directly as a servant at the fourth level of Qi Refining jogged up to him.

Lingyun Pavilion has four floors and is the largest shop in the entire market, dealing in pills, artifacts, arrays, and talismans.

As the only Golden Core Lineage in New Peace Commandery, the Ling Family has every reason to be confident.

"Senior, please go to the third floor!" the waiter said repeatedly.

Ye Jingcheng was at least a Foundation Establishment senior, so he naturally dared not be negligent.

Ye Jingcheng led Chu Yanqing straight up to the third floor.

The entire Skyreach Pavilion is extremely spacious; even the stairwells and corridors can accommodate four people walking side by side.

When Ye Jingcheng went up to the third floor, a beautiful female cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining welcomed Ye Jingcheng into the pavilion. There were several stools placed inside the pavilion.

"Please, esteemed guests, have a taste of our New Peace Lake's calming tea. Once our Manager Ling has made arrangements for the next distinguished guest, he will arrive immediately to select treasures for you two!"

After the female cultivator finished speaking, she took out a jade book.

Give it to Ye Jingcheng so Ye Jingcheng can watch it.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng understood that third-tier treasures were extremely precious and could not possibly be displayed in the same way as second-tier treasures.

When Ye Jingcheng got his hands on the Jade Slip, he saw a high-grade third-tier Spirit Gathering Formation, but not a top-grade third-tier one, and immediately frowned!
