Testing His Answer, the Twin-Headed Turtle Demon King
Within the valley, as the spiritual light dissipated, a type of poisonous vine also disappeared, but the pervasive poisonous gas still formed layers of poisonous mist that lingered for a long time.
On both sides of the mountain, the cultivators watching the spectacle each held a spiritual shield, not daring to let the poisonous gas invade their bodies.
After all, they saw that Jin Yurong's entire body was black and purple, and he only recovered after taking several pills.
At this moment, Ye Jingcheng landed in the center of the valley, panting heavily. He put away all his Law Treasures, and the spiritual light on his body appeared somewhat dim!
It was as if he had just exerted all his strength, doing it in one go!
"The Ye Family won!"
Jiang Jinghe read aloud.
These words practically sealed the fate of the Taihang Marketplace for the next ten years, as the Ye Family would hold all the power.
If the Jin Family is not satisfied, they can only wait until the next ten years, or even the next grand competition.
They cannot continue to use underhanded tactics, otherwise the Ye Family will seize on their weakness and hand it over to the Taiyi Sect. The problem may not only be with the Green Willow Jin Family, but also with the Hetian Jin Family.
Taiyi Sect may allow its subordinate forces to fight each other, but it will never allow these forces to break its rules.
This is the principle, and also the code of governance of the Taiyi Sect; whoever violates it will die!
"Uncle Cheng, Uncle Wu, Uncle Jia, I have some matters to attend to. Please forgive me for neglecting you!" Xiao Quanan casually made up an excuse and left.
Now that the overall situation is settled, no one can change the fact that the profits of Taihang Marketplace have fallen into the hands of the Ye Family, as well as Illusion Peak and Sword Peak.
Of course, he didn't care much about this. What Purple Peak wanted to control now was the small world, the resources of Taihang Commandery, most of which were located in the Taihang Mountain Range.
The Taihang Mountain Range are a tough nut to crack.
The Jin Family gets it, and Purple Peak does it as a favor, then profits from it.
Even if they don't get it, it doesn't bother them.
"Our Jin Family is willing to accept defeat!" It was Golden Jade Hall who spoke, and he led his family away, heading towards Hetian Mountain.
Clearly, Golden Jade Hall was very dissatisfied with Jin Yurong at this moment. Despite having a superior Law Treasure and higher cultivation level, the strength and combat skills he displayed were far inferior.
Although Jin Yurong was still resentful, he knew that if Ye Jingcheng hadn't held back, he might have been seriously injured or even killed.
He then left, looking dejected.
Inside the valley, only Tianzhen True Person, Ziyue, Master Tianjian Taihao Master, and others remained, along with Ward Master Jiang.
But at this moment, Ward Master Jiang was the most embarrassed. However, despite his embarrassment, he remained calm and composed, as if he had forgotten that he had come with the Jin Family.
"Junior Brother Ye, you are truly skilled!" Both Tianzhen True Person Taihao Master couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Ye Jingcheng nodded in response. The group of True Person were watching his expression, and he was watching theirs in return.
In his view, the targeting of the Ye Family's Taihang Marketplace was not without the tacit approval of Illusion Peak.
He guessed that these people were all waiting to see his Cultivation Method and Law Power.
That's why he could Beast Communion Spirit Control.
Such Law Power was naturally different from what they had expected. They still had doubts about the Tianfu True Person from back then, and they did not know whether the Tianfu True Person had gone to the Ye Family.
Because Tianfu True Person nominally passed away at Taichang Illusion Peak.
The True Essence Law Power that Ye Jingcheng is now displaying are naturally not the Cultivation Method of Tianfu True Person, nor are they among the few that they are familiar with.
They even sensed that Ye Jingcheng's Cultivation Method carried a rich vitality!
"Senior Brother Zhao, Senior Brother Purple Moon, Senior Ziyue, Senior Tianjian, please forgive my poor performance. Now that things are settled, shall we go to the restaurant together to try some of the newly caught spiritual dishes?" Ye Jingcheng suggested.
"No, we all have other matters to attend to. Let's part ways here. We also need to discuss the Chamber of Commerce with the rest of the sect!" Tianzhen True Person was the first to refuse, and the others followed suit.
The Taiyi Sect is currently very busy, and these True Person Immortals don't have much free time.
Soon, the group transformed into three Spirit Boats and headed towards the Taichang Mountain Range.
Even Ye Jingteng and Ye Qingshuang returned to the Taichang Mountain Range together.
Inside the Spirit Boat, Taihao Master entered Tianzhen True Person's room.
"How should we reply to Xuandao?" Taihao Master inquired.
"Just respond to what you see. Let's not speculate too much about this; it's pointless for us!" Tianzhen True Person said.
Upon hearing this, Taihao Master nodded and left the room.
In Taihang Marketplace, the Ye Family returned to the Ye Family Restaurant.
Apart from Ye Qingwen, everyone else was delighted.
After all, the Ye Family's status has now been established, and future financial revenue has been negotiated.
Once the Chamber of Commerce is successfully established, it will represent a significant step forward for the Ye Family.
What the Ye Family values is not the 20% profit. What Ye Jingcheng values is that the Ye Family can use this trade fair to travel to various countries in the Eastern Region. On the surface, it is to sell Black Ganoderma Fish, but in fact, the Ye Family is to collect some special and hidden Spirit Materials.
While Ye Jingteng and Ye Qingshuang within the sect is certainly a means to an end, the higher the level, the more precious the spirit medicine required become, even those that the Taiyi Sect lacks.
"Patriarch, this is Jade Slip summarizing my battle. Also, I will be going to the Lineage's Hidden Valley tomorrow!" Ye Qingwen took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Ye Jingcheng.
"Keep this Jade Slip for yourself. Remember, you must fight with all your might against any enemy!" Ye Jingcheng did not accept the Jade Slip.
Ye Qingwen, and many of the younger members of the Ye Family, are actually prone to making this kind of mistake.
This mistake wasn't because I didn't know how, but because I had too little experience in the Cultivation World.
After Ye Qingwen, Ye Jingcheng also called Ye Jinghu into the room alone. Whether in terms of cultivation and combat skills or in terms of handling affairs, Ye Jinghu was clearly better than Ye Qingwen and Ye Qingyan.
At this moment, he also looked directly at Ye Jinghu:
"Jinghu, the Lineage is preparing to appoint you as the head of the family this time. What are your thoughts on this?"
"Patriarch, Jinghu will definitely do his utmost!" Ye Jinghu was overjoyed.
Once Ye Jingcheng said it, it was a done deal. Now, Ye Jingcheng's word carries more weight than all the other Lineage Inner Hall combined.
"Well, I hope you won't disappoint the Lineage. Also, Jinghu, how does becoming the head of the family feel different from before?" Ye Jingcheng asked again.
"Different?" Ye Jinghu hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"Patriarch, I believe the key is maintaining Lineage cohesion and having a clear Lineage for each period. For example, our previous goal was to become a Purple Mansion Lineage, producing one or two Purple Mansion. That was our previous objective. But now the Ye Family has made significant progress. Our next three goals are: First, increase the Lineage's population. Currently, we have over three hundred members, which is still relatively small. As a powerful Purple Mansion Lineage, we need at least five hundred. Second, enhance the Lineage's high-level combat power and continue to support Alchemists and Artifact Refiners! For instance, we need more than five second-tier Alchemists and Artifact Refiners! Third, increase the development of the Taihang Mountain Range to enhance the Lineage's foundation!"
"Hmm, not bad!" Ye Jingcheng nodded when he saw Ye Jinghu point out three things, after all, Ye Jinghu had previously acted as the head of the family.
"Jinghu, besides these, you also need to pay attention to cultivating a new clan leader and learning to correct the clan members!"
"Jinghu will remember this!" Ye Jinghu nodded repeatedly.
He knew that Ye Jingcheng might be going into seclusion again, after all, Ye Jingcheng was the strongest fighter.
Therefore, he remembered every word Ye Jingcheng said.
"Patriarch, what about what you said before, that once I win the competition, or become the patriarch, I will receive information about the Lineage..."
"You can ask three questions!" Ye Jingcheng nodded.
Just like when he asked Ye Xuecang back then, the other party also gave three answers.
The Ye Family has many secrets, but I'll only tell you three, partly to prevent Ye Jinghu from being too aggressive.
Of course, if you ask the right questions, you can learn a lot from just three.
Ye Jinghu then asked them one by one. He first asked about the Lineage's strongest fighter, and then he asked about the whereabouts of the other Lineage members.
This is somewhat similar to the question Ye Jingcheng asked that day.
Ye Jingcheng naturally answered them one by one.
Ye Jinghu's eyes lit up at Ye Jingcheng's answer.
He clenched his fist, feeling both excited and thrilled.
"This Lineage is incredibly powerful!"
There are more than five Purple Mansions, as well as Golden Core cultivators, and the Lineage has already taken control of half of the archipelago.
If anyone else had said it, Ye Jinghu would never have believed it.
After all, this is too unrealistic.
But now Ye Jingcheng is telling him everything.
"Patriarch, one last question. I'd like to ask if there are any Spirit Beasts of our Lineage in the Taihang Mountain Range?"
"Yes, and you need to improve your strength more, otherwise you won't even be qualified to participate. The Lineage's next goal is to become Nascent Soul Lineage!" Ye Jingcheng didn't say much, but just the last sentence was enough to excite Ye Jinghu.
After all, there were no Nascent Soul Lineage in the entire Yan Kingdom.
Even among the kingdoms of the Eastern Region, there are only two Nascent Soul Lineage, and they are Lineage that are no different from sects.
If the Ye Family were to become Nascent Soul Lineage, it would mark the beginning of a new era.
Thinking of this, Ye Jinghu couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
He was still thinking about increasing the number of Lineage members and improving the number of high-level Alchemists and Artifact Refiners in the Lineage.
Ye Jingcheng's goal is to become a Nascent Soul Lineage.
"Keep up the good work! You have both the Thunder Spirit Root and the Five-Inch Beast-Link Mark. Don't let the Lineage down!" Ye Jingcheng then took out two more improved Thunder Rhinoceros Pills and handed them to Ye Jinghu.
Ye Jinghu's Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle has little hope of advancing and breaking through to the next level.
However, his Thunder Roc is also of the Thunder Attribute, so he can take a second-tier Advancement Pill in addition to the first-tier Advancement Pill.
"Next, I will return to Soaring Cloud Peak. You and Jingfu will organize some activities and publicly announce the names and misdeeds on that list to restore the Lineage's prestige and reputation!" Ye Jingcheng then gave two more instructions before leaving Taihang Marketplace and heading towards Soaring Cloud Peak.
This time, however, even after passing Soaring Cloud Peak, he did not stop, but flew straight to Earth Dragon Valley.
At this moment, the Lineage Token in his hand was shining brightly.
Clearly, his Lineage had already begun contacting him after receiving news of his emergence from seclusion.
This time, the target is a large sea turtle outside the Skycloud Archipelago.
However, unlike the previous one which was Sea-Covering Turtle, this time it's a Twin-Headed Turtle Demon King.
This type of turtle -Demon King is most suitable for testing, since its speed and Law Technique power are not that strong.
However, their ability to break free from the Blood Pact is quite strong!
This is a good opportunity to try, and this Twin-Headed Turtle Demon King is also proficient in the elements of water and wood. If the Blood Pact is successful, Ye Jingcheng can even increase his chances of breaking through to the Golden Core stage.
With no other concerns, Ye Jingcheng traveled extremely quickly this time, arriving at Earth Dragon Valley in just two days.
Earth Dragon Valley remains vast and boundless, teeming with Armored Beasts Golden-Scaled Beasts.
As Ye Jingcheng's Spirit Boat flew by, these Spirit Beasts let out threatening roars.
Ye Jingcheng didn't care about this. He just looked at his Treasure Book to see if there were any other beasts with similar talents and bloodlines to his own Golden-Scaled Beast.
If there are opportunities to advance to the fourth or fifth level, he will remember them and have his Lineage members sign a contract with them.
With such a spirit beast, there's no need to research the recipe for advancement pills; we can simply use the ones Ye Jingcheng had already refined. Even the third-tier advancement pills are readily available.
It's a pity that Ye Jingcheng looked for a long time and found that there were two third-level advanced Treasure Radiance, but only one fourth-level.
The rest are either adults and have exhausted their potential, or they lack talent.
Finally, Ye Jingcheng landed in one of the valleys, but this valley was not the one connected to the Ye Family's Teleportation Array.
It was the valley of the Earth Dragon Demon King.
Ye Jingcheng transmitted his voice into the room, and the Earth Dragon Demon King also emerged. The Demon King remained as majestic as ever, and his aura was much stronger than before.
Clearly, he has made further progress at the peak of the Fourth Stage.
"Dragon Ancestor, these are some specialties from Taihang Commandery. I hope they will suit Dragon Ancestor taste!" Ye Jingcheng had sought help from the Earth Dragon Demon King many times before. Although he had to be wary, he also had to express his gratitude.
Inside were some spirit wines and spirit fish, as well as some Earth Attribute Spirit Materials suitable for the Earth Dragon Demon King.
Although it wasn't much, it represented Ye Jingcheng's heartfelt sentiment.
"He went to the sea?" The Earth Dragon Demon King smiled slightly when he saw the gift Ye Jingcheng had given him.
"Yes, Dragon Ancestor, this time I plan to go to the sea to cultivate diligently and also prepare to break through!" Ye Jingcheng did not hide anything, after all, the most truthful thoughts are the most impeccable!
"When the Heavenly Dragon Fruit ripens, I'll save one for you!" The Earth Dragon Demon King nodded.
Without any further ado, it went straight back to its dragon's lair.
Ye Jingcheng then bowed and left, heading towards the Lineage's Teleportation Array.
Once they were far from Dragon Valley, Ye Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had reached the peak of the Purple Mansion, the pressure from the Earth Dragon Demon King was still considerable.
As for the Heavenly Dragon Fruit, Ye Jingcheng was also very enthusiastic.
If this spiritual fruit can be obtained, the probability of the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon breaking through to the Fourth Stage is very high.
"Jingcheng, you're here!" As Ye Jingcheng entered the valley, Ye Haicheng and Ye Haiyan also came out.
Ye Haicheng was still shirtless, with Spirit Patterns flowing across his body, and his feet were somewhat swollen.
He's clearly practicing the Great Wasteland Step!
Ye Haiyan, on the other hand, was studying Array.
"Great-Grandpa, Sixth Grandpa!" Ye Jingcheng bowed respectfully.
"How's the situation with the Jin Family going?"
"Everything went smoothly!" Ye Jingcheng replied.
"Alright, let's set off now. Uncle and the others are already waiting for us!" Ye Haicheng nodded.
