Chapter 20: The Arrival of the Family Head (Seeking Follow-up Reads, Seeking Follow-up Reads)

Returning to the Ye family's shop once more, Ye Jingcheng's days once again revolved around continuous alchemy.

As for that treasure map, Ye Jingcheng casually discarded it.

Influenced by his elders, he naturally didn't believe in any 'true' treasure map.

Nor did he believe it could be given to him so cheaply.

This time, Ye Jingcheng was refining Qi Recovery Pills.

According to his uncle Ye Xinghe, he had almost gathered enough Qi and Blood Pills, and now it was time for Qi Recovery Pills.

With the three-eared pill furnace missing one ear, Ye Jingcheng needed to pay even more attention to the furnace's balance during alchemy.

After summarizing and deducing for a while, Ye Jingcheng finally began to nurture the furnace and refine the pills.

However, unlike the smoothness of the Qi and Blood Pills, the first batch of Qi Recovery Pills failed due to the greater number of spiritual herbs involved and the higher detail requirements.

Ye Jingcheng was not discouraged; alchemy was a profound skill, and failure was normal. Constant success would be abnormal.

After summarizing and confirming that there were no problems, Ye Jingcheng continued refining.

However, the second batch also failed.

It wasn't until the third batch that he succeeded.

In the following days, Ye Jingcheng continued to refine pills.

He rarely even left the room. Unlike the Qi and Blood Pills, which didn't enhance alchemy, both Ye Jingcheng and the Crimson Flame Fox could consume the Qi Recovery Pills to restore spiritual energy.

After restoring spiritual energy, he could refine pills again.

Previously, he could only produce four batches every two days, but now he could produce five.

The more he refined, the more skilled he became, and the number of pills produced increased from two to five, and finally to seven or eight!

Ten days passed, and the four gathered again in the shop.

This time, Ye Xinghe was even more composed, his eyes full of confidence.

Ye Xingyu, on the other hand, looked even more tired between his brows, making him, who rarely spoke, appear even more melancholy.

Ye Jingli and Ye Jingyun were the same.

The effects of their refining were about the same as before. Their eyes were still full of worry.

Ye Jingcheng, however, was full of heroic spirit between his brows, and without the need to control the fire, his alchemy was easier, and the results were getting better and better.

Ye Xinghe, as usual, asked the four to report on their progress.

The other three had roughly the same results as before.

Until Ye Jingcheng spoke:

"Uncle, I refined one hundred and thirty Qi Recovery Pills this time!"

The other three and Ye Xinghe were somewhat disbelieving because this was a new type of first-grade, mid-quality spiritual pill.

The key was that the number of pills produced was too high.

"I refined a few more batches. These Qi Recovery Pills are useful for restoring spiritual energy for both me and Little Flame!" Ye Jingcheng didn't go into too much detail; the facts were as such.

Saying too much would only make him seem like he was trying to cover something up.

"Good!!" Ye Xinghe was also extremely excited.

"This time, the order is foolproof. Jingcheng, you should focus on refining Detoxification Pills next!"

"I will arrange for cultivators to go to the Li family's shop to buy these spiritual pills as well, to see if they sell them. Also, Xinghong, we will raise the price of these spiritual pills from our Ye family by two spiritual stones, one of which is the price difference that is distributed!"

"Now the market is spreading rumors that our Ye family doesn't have alchemists and can't refine spiritual pills, and we might default on the order and pay a sky-high compensation. Then let it be as they wish!" The corners of Ye Xinghe's mouth slightly turned up.

"If they want to control the market, we will fully cooperate with them!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief, with faint smiles on their faces.

"Brother, there is also good news. The spiritual beasts in the inner courtyard, whose quality was extremely poor due to various reasons, have recently greatly improved, each one more lively than the last!" Ye Xinghong added.

As soon as these words came out, everyone reacted.

The spiritual beasts were indeed in much better condition, and they would occasionally roar late at night, which meant they could be sold for more spiritual stones.

The Ye family's main business was still spiritual beasts.

The better the spiritual beasts sold, the more their annual salaries would increase, which was also a happy event. They hadn't noticed it before and thought Ye Xinghong had given them some kind of elixir.

Now it seemed that they had recovered on their own.

Ye Xinghe was also stunned for a moment, and after asking Ye Xinghong for details, he still couldn't get an explanation.

However, Ye Jingcheng keenly noticed that Ye Xinghe looked at him more often, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

It was as if he had seen through everything long ago.

And the previous questions were just a disguise.

An idea in his mind became more and more certain.

After asking Ye Xinghong to continue to pay attention to the situation, Ye Xinghe didn't say much more, but encouraged the others and said that he would go to the Mo family's restaurant at the end of the month to host a welcome dinner for the four of them, and then stopped.

He also gave the four half a day to stroll around the market, relax, and give the three families a sense of urgency.

This time, Ye Jingli went with Ye Jingcheng, and the latter inadvertently asked if it was the spiritual pills refined by Ye Jingcheng that had caused it.

Ye Jingcheng naturally shook his head repeatedly, saying that he had been refining pills all these days.

He had refined more than twenty batches.

Ye Jingli nodded, but the curiosity in his eyes remained the same, and he followed Ye Jingcheng around.

After the two strolled around, they finally returned to the shop.

This time, Ye Jingcheng also bought some spiritual herbs, which were also a type of the mysterious pill formula. Although he already had them, it was better to prepare a few more copies.

Ye Jingli bought a few refining materials, which was also a small gain.

……

Inside Ye Xinghe's room, an antique incense burner was constantly burning sandalwood.

Ye Xinghe sat in the secondary seat, while Ye Xingliu sat in the main seat beside him.

"Brother, how likely do you think the other three families will take action?" Ye Xingliu asked first.

"Eighty percent. Now is a very unusual period. The Taiyi Sect is unable to care for itself, and will not care about our Foundation Establishment families. If they dare to secretly ruin our Ye family's business, they have already prepared to fight us to the death!" Ye Xinghe's eyes were bright, and he also revealed a murderous aura!

"However, their methods this time are not clever, and there may be other plots!"

"It's like they're sending us spiritual stones!"

"That's why I secretly called you here. If they use tricks during the transaction, you can catch them off guard!" Ye Xinghe said.

In front of Ye Jingcheng and others, he was full of confidence, but for a family leader, he had too many things to consider!

In this world where people eat people without spitting out bones, one wrong step means complete defeat!

Ye Xingliu also nodded, and the two didn't say anything more, but tacitly took out spiritual tea and drank it.

After a cup of spiritual tea, the two leaned back on the grand master chairs and closed their eyes slightly.

The next moment, Ye Xingliu suddenly cast a spiritual incantation. The fragrance of the incense burner in front of him became even stronger, and the smoke lingered in the room for a long time!

Making people's eyes hazy.

And this was God-Banning Smoke, which could suppress divine sense exploration.

"How is Jingcheng?" Ye Xingliu said softly.

"Acceptable!" Ye Xinghe also replied.

"Then, after the auction ends, let's start Jingcheng's test!"

"Okay!"

……

Ten days passed again, and Ye Jingcheng took out all the pill bottles, placed them in a row, and let out a long sigh!

He had a full one hundred Detoxification Pills!

Although Detoxification Pills were cheaper than Qi Recovery Pills, they were not easier to refine!

"Little Flame, you can rest for a long time next!" Ye Jingcheng put away the pill bottles and stroked the Crimson Flame Fox's fur.

The Crimson Flame Fox also chirped twice, then closed its eyes, enjoying the spiritual light from Ye Jingcheng's treasured book!

Seeking follow-up reads, seeking promotion, seeking promotion, the results are so miserable.
