Chapter 208: Spirit Ascension Garden? (Seeking subscriptions and monthly tickets)

As dusk approached, the lingering glow of the setting sun stretched longer and longer, causing the dense fog over Bu Yun Valley to appear even more concentrated and serene.

It formed a distinct upper and lower structure with the golden peaks on both sides of the valley.

From afar, it resembled a small beast shrouded in a half-veil, crouching in the wilderness.

The entrance to Bu Yun Valley was lined with numerous Purple Poison Thorns, seemingly to allow the cultivators inside to easily use Wood Vine Manipulation to defend against enemies at any time.

As the two approached the valley entrance, Ye Jingcheng, for safety's sake, released the Jade Ring Mouse, which scurried towards the entrance, ensuring caution even with the family's protective array.

After all, there was always a chance of coincidences with formations, and the power of a formation, combined with a peak Qi training cultivator's sneak attack, could seriously injure or even kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator; it was not impossible.

Accompanied by the Jade Ring Mouse's squeaks, a figure in black robes emerged from the valley, a look of puzzlement in their eyes.

The figure looked familiar, and the next moment, several Five Poison Bees appeared on their shoulder.

Ye Jingcheng immediately understood.

"Seventh Uncle!" Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu stepped out from the side.

"Jingcheng, Jingyu, you've arrived?" The black-robed figure was none other than Ye Xingqun.

He then frowned slightly, as Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu were not wearing Spirit Isolation Robes.

This was a major taboo in the Ye family's style of conduct.

If news of their visit to the Li family were to leak out, it would be a significant problem.

"Supreme Taihao has already entrusted the handling of the situation to our Ye family, Seventh Uncle, rest assured!" Ye Jingyu added with a smile, dispelling Ye Xingqun's doubts.

As far as the family was concerned, whether or not Supreme Taihao entrusted the Li family to the Ye family, it wouldn't stop the Ye family from plundering a wave.

Therefore, Ye Xingqun and the others had not received the news; the message they received was to control Bu Yun Valley and await further instructions.

"Third Uncle asked us to come and take a look; now that the family has become a Violet Mansion Family, the first tribute may need to be a bit more substantial!" Ye Jingcheng also said.

Hearing this, Ye Xingqun's face filled with joy, and he welcomed the two inside.

Previously, they were worried about not being able to defend Bu Yun Valley, but now with Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu, no matter how many rogue cultivators came, it would be useless.

Even the Mo and Xu families wouldn't be able to breach it without deploying their top Foundation Establishment cultivators.

And deploying such cultivators would be too risky; as long as one member of the Ye family escaped, the Mo and Xu families wouldn't have an easy time; the rules of the sect were still very effective.

"Everyone can start planting the spiritual herbs they've obtained, making sure to transplant them with care!" Ye Xingqun shouted towards the valley, then turned to Ye Jingcheng and the other.

At this time, there were still some Ye family members at the valley entrance.

"Seventh Uncle, what were the losses from attacking Bu Yun Valley?" Ye Jingcheng asked curiously.

As he entered Bu Yun Valley, his divine sense could already cover the entire valley; he discovered that there were four medicine gardens.

Three medicine gardens with different attributes were located within the valley.

There was also a medicine garden located in the steep mountains, somewhat like terraced fields.

The land utilization rate of the valley had reached an extremely high level.

And the spiritual energy content of the spiritual fields, needless to say, was many times better than Ye Jingcheng's own meager plots.

It seemed that what dragged down the Li family was not just their elixirs, but also this vast Bu Yun Valley.

Of course, the Li family's ambition was indeed not small; the scale of spiritual herbs in Bu Yun Valley was directly equivalent to a Tier-2 spiritual herb garden, and even the Xu family, who specialized in spiritual herbs, only had two such spiritual herb gardens on the surface.

The investment in such a spiritual herb garden was extremely large; the spiritual stones buried in the spirit-gathering arrays each year could cost hundreds, and there were also various spirit-nourishing fluids, and it should be known that the cycle of spiritual herbs was extremely long, suitable for long-term development.

Calculating this way, the annual investment could be close to a thousand spiritual stones, otherwise, planting spiritual herbs densely in this valley would be impossible.

"Don't mention it, attacking wasn't a problem, the only one with high cultivation was about to break through to the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and didn't even need to be dealt with, but all the spiritual herbs were pulled out and put into storage bags, and some were destroyed by them before they died!"

"A few of them even tried to set fire before they died, fortunately they had set up some formations themselves and didn't have time to close them, otherwise our losses would have been great this time."

Obviously, the Li family had also made two preparations; if the ambush on Ye Jingcheng failed, the spiritual herbs and the Bu Qingshan clan mountain would be evacuated.

Such a wholesale removal of spiritual herbs would naturally cause many spiritual herbs to lose their spirituality, and if the Ye family replanted them, the spirit-nourishing fluid required would be unknown.

Of course, it was also good that the Ye family was proceeding simultaneously, so there were no problems.

"Jingcheng, it's good that you're here, I'm a little worried about these spiritual herbs!" Ye Xingqun then said; now that several years had passed, he was also at the ninth level of Qi training.

It's just that Ye Xingqun was already over sixty, and now he was just seeking stability.

Hearing him say this, the two guessed what he meant and walked inside along a bluestone path.

On both sides of the medicine garden, there were still Ye family cultivators busy at work.

Those immature spiritual herbs needed to be replanted in the medicine garden.

Including many spiritual herbs familiar to Ye Jingcheng, Red Dragon Fruit, Falling Flame Grass, etc.

Many were relatively common spiritual herbs, such as those for Qingling Pill, Qinghe Pill, and Chizhi Pill.

There were also spiritual herb materials for Tier-1 Crimson Flame Pill and Tier-1 Jade Kirin Pill, but the potency was somewhat low.

The planting density of these spiritual herbs was not low, and Ye Jingcheng also saw that there was a spirit-gathering formation in each mu of spiritual field, specifically gathering the spiritual energy of the valley's spiritual vein.

As they walked deeper, there were also spiritual herb materials for Tier-2 elixirs such as Fire Heart Pill, Purple Wood Pill, and Barrier Breaking Pill on both sides.

These were the spiritual herbs that the Ye family focused on.

For the family, the cultivation of the upper-level cultivators was always the most important.

When they reached the innermost spiritual herb, a separate wall had been built to cover the core spiritual herb garden.

"Spirit Ascension Garden!" At the gate of the wall, there was also a plaque.

Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but smile when he saw these three words.

This Li family really did things properly.

In the world of cultivation, ordinary spiritual herb gardens were just spiritual fields, so generally Tier-1 and Tier-2 spiritual herb gardens didn't have names, only Tier-3 spiritual herb gardens would be named.

The implication was the same as Violet Mansion cultivators adding a Daoist title, all wanting to add a bit of luck to themselves in the dark.

Ye Xingqun continued to lead Ye Jingcheng and the other inside, and saw that the spiritual herb garden inside was sparsely populated with only a few spiritual herbs.

However, unlike the one spirit-gathering formation per mu outside, here it was one spirit-gathering formation per spiritual plant, which could be described as extremely luxurious.

These spirit-gathering formations were also Tier-1 high-grade spirit-gathering formations, each placed with mid-grade spiritual stones.

The spiritual energy content here had also reached the level of Tier-2 mid-grade.

Of course, according to Ye Xingqun, this Bu Yun Valley was still a Tier-2 low-grade spiritual vein, but under the effect of so many spirit-gathering formations in this central spiritual herb garden, and located in the most central part of the spiritual vein, the spiritual energy content had been raised by a level.

Compared to a real Tier-2 mid-grade spiritual vein, it was still slightly inferior.

But it could still make ordinary cultivators feel that the techniques in their bodies were about to run automatically as soon as they entered.

Including Ye Jingcheng, he was a little surprised at this moment, because the wood-attribute spiritual energy of his Four-Phase Heavenly Yuan Scripture was absorbed faster than the other three phases.

Looking at it this way, this might be his treasure land.

Of course, as an alchemist, Ye Jingcheng was most concerned about what the spiritual herbs inside were, what elixirs they were suitable for refining, and whether they were useful to him.

He glanced over, and there were five spiritual herbs and one spiritual tree inside.

Each spiritual plant was radiant and lush.

Among them, there were three thousand-year-old spiritual herbs and two eight-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs.

The three thousand-year-old spiritual herbs were respectively Thousand-Year Black Shouwu, Thousand-Year White Jade Flower, and Thousand-Year Heavenly Star Grass.

These three spiritual herbs were extremely common in Tier-3 elixir formulas, and even some auxiliary materials for Tier-4 elixir formulas might appear.

In the market, they could often sell for three or four thousand spiritual stones, and were often unavailable even with the money.

That is to say, this time, just collecting these three thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, the Ye family had gained more than ten thousand spiritual stones.

The two eight-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs were respectively Heavenly Crimson Flower and Blue-Purple Leaf.

When he saw the Heavenly Crimson Flower in front, Ye Jingcheng's heart also trembled.

He couldn't help but look inside his treasure book again, and the Heavenly Crimson Flower was indeed on the elixir formula of the Crimson Flame Fox.

The Heavenly Crimson Flower was similar in shape to a flame, and after it bloomed, it never withered, and it could even be understood as a spiritual grass that resembled a spiritual flower.

Its age could be determined by the length of the flower.

It only grew one inch every hundred years, and the one in front of him was exactly eight inches, that is, it had just reached eight hundred years.

And the elixir formula only needed five hundred years, that is, this Heavenly Crimson Flower would be even more effective when refined.

Including the Fox Red Grass he bought in Taichangfang City before, he already had two main ingredients for the Tier-2 Crimson Flame Pill.

He was not far from collecting the Tier-2 elixir formula of the Crimson Flame Fox.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingcheng was also in a great mood, he was the Ye family's first alchemist on the surface, and he was still qualified to keep this Heavenly Crimson Flower.

Ye Jingcheng paid less attention to the Blue-Purple Leaf next to it, it was a rare spiritual herb, but rare also meant that he had fewer usable elixir formulas, so Ye Jingcheng didn't pay attention to it.

Only falling on the last spiritual tree.

This spiritual tree was not tall, only more than five feet high, the leaves were small, only the size of coins.

And it also seemed a little sparse.

"This is the Heavenly Spirit Fruit tree!" Ye Jingcheng was a little unbelievable.

This Heavenly Spirit Fruit was one of the three main ingredients of the Foundation Establishment Pill, and it was the most precious one, of course, this was not the Foundation Establishment Pill refined by the Ye family with demon pills, but the Foundation Establishment Pill issued by the Taiyi Sect on the surface.

"This Li family doesn't know whether their luck is good or bad!" Ye Jingcheng was also filled with emotion after reading the spiritual herbs.

The Li family was a Foundation Establishment family that had risen in the past hundred years, and being able to have such a foundation already showed that their luck was extremely good.

But the world of cultivation was also like this, sometimes, if you take small steps, you will be overtaken by others.

And taking big steps, you are also prone to stumble.
