Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Chapter 350: Inheriting a Spirit Beast (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Crimson-gold clouds blanketed the end of the mountain range.

A sunrise, revealing most of its outline, scattered countless golden rays, illuminating the entire Lingyun Peak with a brilliant golden hue.

A spirit boat pierced through the clouds and flew swiftly, but as it approached, its speed suddenly decreased.

On the spirit boat, all the cultivators, led by Ye Jingcheng, appeared extremely solemn at this moment.

Even though they had just experienced a chase and an overwhelming victory not long ago.

Lingyun Peak remained beautiful. As far as the eye could see, the brilliant golden morning sun shone upon the snow-white mountain peaks, causing a faint mist to rise, vaguely shrouding most of the mountaintop.

Even the tip of the nose was surrounded by the fragrance of crisp bamboo shoots and the scent of camellias filling the sky. The grand spectacle of early spring had already unfolded on the mountain peak.

Ye Xingliu was fine, but Ye Jingyu, Ye Xingyi, and others who had left long ago inevitably felt a sense of唏嘘(lament/sigh).

As for Ye Jingcheng, he was even more dazed at this moment. His gaze seemed to penetrate thousands of feet, seeing a secluded, antique courtyard. His nose also caught a faint scent of apricot blossoms, carrying a hint of astringency.

In his ears, he seemed to slowly hear the sound of flames burning in the pill furnace. The puffing and imperfect explosions ultimately surged towards Ye Jingcheng together on this morning.

Ye Jingyong and the others looked at Ye Jingcheng.

They also fell silent. Ye Jingcheng didn't dare to look with his spiritual sense, but they could see clearly with their spiritual sense. In that courtyard, there was only an earthworm constantly turning over the soil and white apricot blossoms that were half in bloom.

There was no twilight old man, eagerly waiting for the returning clansmen.

Clearly, it was already too late.

Ye Jingcheng didn't have time to see the last look.

All the Ye family members also felt sorrow from the bottom of their hearts. Ye Jingcheng had grown up under the watchful eye of Ye Haiyun, and hadn't they also spent an ignorant and passionate childhood under Ye Haiyun's protection?

Ye Jingcheng stopped the spirit boat at the foot of Lingyun Peak. He murmured:

"Fourth Grandfather, I'm back!"

This short sentence almost brought tears to Ye Jingcheng's eyes.

He stepped onto the mountain peak. His eyes were filled with familiar land and trees, but the short three years or so had given him a sense of strangeness.

"Go to the family ancestral hall first!" Ye Xingliu said upon seeing Ye Jingcheng's state.

According to family rules, all Ye family cultivators who go out must return to the family's council hall as soon as possible to hand over all tasks and record the reasons for going out.

But looking at Ye Jingcheng in such a state, he felt a little unbearable.

Cultivating immortality is ultimately not about cultivating indifference.

The same is true for the family.

"Third Uncle, go to the council hall first to hand over tasks and reasons!" Ye Jingcheng shook his head, appearing somewhat firm. He walked towards the mountain peak step by step.

From the eyes of others, he guessed everything.

Whether out of family rules or to retain the last glimmer of hope.

He must go to the council hall first.

Because of the upgrade of the spiritual veins, the family's Lingyun Peak has become much taller in recent years.

The spiritual energy above the mountain peak is even more abundant. Even some ordinary trees grow extremely lush and tall, and some have even broken through the height of ordinary trees.

The council hall has also been renovated to be more impressive in recent years. The number of family cultivators has also increased. Those immortal children who just came to the mountain three years ago have now cultivated in a decent manner, urging their lightness techniques and object manipulation techniques in the mountains.

Ye Jingcheng also saw the same light as the golden morning sun in their eyes.

Ye Haiyi was still in charge of handling affairs in the council hall.

However, the current Ye Haiyi also appeared somewhat old. It was true that he was a body cultivator, but he could hardly escape the age of one hundred and twenty.

Without forming a foundation, one would ultimately not live past two Jiazi (120 years).

Ye Haiyi seemed to see Ye Jingcheng's concerns. All the records were in a jade slip, allowing Ye Jingcheng to inscribe the Taichang Square Market of the past three years into it.

It was completed in half an hour.

The Ye family and his party went to the family ancestral hall again, and Ye Haiyi also followed.

The family ancestral hall was also larger, filled with spiritual tablets.

Of course, among these spiritual tablets, some were real and some were fake. Most of the real ones had incense burners full of ash, while most of the fake ones had empty furnaces.

At this moment, the one shining with brilliant sandalwood incense was Ye Haiyun, of the Hai generation.

Ye Jingcheng landed on the futon at the very front and began to kowtow.

The others also followed suit.

After kowtowing three times, Ye Jingcheng took out the second-order spiritual incense he had accidentally seized and lit three sticks for Ye Haiyun.

"Jingcheng, this is what Fourth Elder asked me to give to you!" Ye Haiyi walked out from the side and also handed Ye Jingcheng a storage bag.

Ye Jingcheng was stunned, but he only heard Ye Haiyi continue to say:

"The Fourth Elder has no direct descendants, so he designated you as his direct disciple, transferring 8,000 contribution points to you. At the same time, this is his remaining research and some treasures left for you."

Ye Jingcheng was somewhat surprised. He took the storage bag, and his spiritual sense penetrated it. The first thing that caught his eye was two spiritual peaches, untouched in a jade box, and affixed with a spiritual talisman to maintain their spiritual energy. Next to the jade box was a basket of spiritual apricots.

Those were obviously the latest spiritual apricots, but due to the secret realm trip, he hadn't had time to give them to Ye Jingcheng.

In addition to the spiritual apricots, there were also many materials for alchemy and several jade slips.

The jade slips contained summaries of pill formulas and Ye Haiyun's experience in deducing pill formulas and refining pills from demon beast inner cores over the years.

And this was also Ye Jingcheng's request when he left.

Ye Haiyun did it, but he didn't swallow the spiritual peaches.

The last jade slip also contained Ye Haiyun's message to him:

"Jingcheng, you should be a second-grade high-rank alchemist by now. It's a pity, Fourth Grandfather won't be able to see you become a third-grade alchemist. I heard that you have already broken through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment and have subdued several spirit beasts, but remember, cultivation should always be your priority. Focus on quality over quantity with spirit beasts. The burden of the beast patterns will also increase as your cultivation level rises!"

"If I had eyes to reach the sky, I would surely watch the clouds drift by!"

"Cultivating immortality, cultivating immortality, ultimately, seeing is believing, leaving no regrets!"

"It's just that Fourth Grandfather doesn't have much to leave you, only some spirit fruits, some pill formulas, and an Earthworm to be your inherited spirit beast."

These brief words brought tears to Ye Jingcheng's eyes several times.

He thought of how, in the past few years in Taichang Market, whenever a family cultivator came, they would bring him spirit apricots and some insights.

But from this day on, no one would send him spirit apricots anymore.

Nor would anyone open a crack in the door of the alchemy room, allowing him a glimpse inside.

"Third Uncle, I want to stay here to mourn for three days!" Ye Jingcheng said.

In the Ye family, because everyone shares the same bloodline, mourning is very normal. Naturally, Ye Xingliu and the others would agree to Ye Jingcheng's request.

They also stayed in the ancestral hall for a long time before leaving.

Ye Jingyong and Ye Jingli personally carried Ye Jingyu's memorial tablet and placed it on the spirit platform, next to Ye Jingfeng's.

After not seeing them for a few years, there were more memorial tablets of the Jing generation.

They formed a small row.

However, Ye Jingcheng knew that many of them had gone to Hidden Peak and the East Sea.

But those remaining also showed that the Ye family's development was not always smooth sailing.

The three days passed quickly. Ye Jingcheng stayed in the ancestral hall, and besides mourning for Ye Haiyun, his determination on the path of longevity became even stronger.

Ye Haiyun naturally regretted not being able to establish his foundation, not being able to see what came after foundation establishment, and not being able to refine second-grade spirit pills without relying on external forces.

For family cultivators, compared to rogue cultivators, they are both family and cultivators.

They have more benefits, but also more burdens.

As the morning sun rose once again, Ye Jingcheng kowtowed deeply one more time.

Then he walked towards the courtyard.

He wanted to see the Earthworm.

He couldn't help but feel emotional at this moment. The Earthworm, which he once thought was extremely strange, had now become his first inherited spirit beast and would also become his remembrance of today.

From Ye Haiyun's jade slip, he learned that this Earthworm was not ordinary.

It was not only a peak first-grade demon beast, but also a spirit beast that could produce spirit soil.

It could absorb ordinary soil and produce spirit soil.

And spirit soil was a higher-level spiritual object than ordinary soil. Any spiritual plant would grow better with some spirit soil, and even the effects produced by the spiritual plant would be slightly higher.

Of course, spirit soil is also divided into natural and acquired spirit soil, and is graded like cultivation levels.

The spirit soil produced by the Earthworm is naturally only first-grade spirit soil.

But this Earthworm might be more than that. According to Ye Haicheng, the Earthworm's growth potential is not small.

Ye Jingcheng naturally wanted to take a look. He had the Treasure Book.

Of course, it was very possible that the Treasure Book would not be able to see anything, after all, the Earthworm's age should not be too young.

It would be normal for it to exceed the possibility of advancing.

Ye Jingcheng pushed open the familiar courtyard. The courtyard's restriction formation was still there, and the furnishings were the same as usual.

It's just that the spirit apricot tree was blooming sadly, and many white flowers fell on the table. In a small patch of soil in the courtyard, the Earthworm crawled out.

This time, it completely emerged from the soil, no longer showing just a head that was indistinguishable from its rear end, as it had before.

Because its two ends were too similar.

And today, Ye Jingcheng finally saw the full appearance of the Earthworm. Its body was about three feet long, and its aura was indeed that of a peak first-grade.

Of course, although it was peak first-grade, its actual combat power was estimated to be very touching.

But for Ye Jingcheng, this Earthworm was extremely suitable for his cave heaven.

Although there was a Spirit Eye Spring in the Stone Spirit Cave Heaven, for Ye Jingcheng, having more spirit soil would allow his spiritual plants to grow better.

Even allowing the peach wood sprite to grow better.

At this time, to Ye Jingcheng's surprise, the Treasure Book also lit up.

Two possible advancements appeared on it.

Obviously, the Earthworm truly had potential, and even without external force, the possibility of breaking through to the second grade was not small.

The second-grade Earthworm produces second-grade spirit soil, and Ye Jingcheng naturally began to look forward to it.

The Earthworm had plenty of spirituality, which could be seen from the past, so Ye Jingcheng forced out a drop of blood essence, and the other party cooperated exceptionally well.

Soon, a connection formed between Ye Jingcheng and the Earthworm.

Ye Jingcheng threw out a few Spirit Nurturing Pills for the Earthworm to consume.

Upon seeing the Spirit Nurturing Pills, the latter swayed left and right, and finally burrowed back into the spirit soil.

However, Ye Jingcheng stopped it. He directly took out the cave heaven and put the Earthworm in, along with the apricot tree in the courtyard.

After doing all this, Ye Jingcheng cleaned the courtyard inside and out. He remembered that Ye Haiyun paid special attention to these things. After finishing, he took out a pot of Yunfu Tea and poured a cup in front of the apricot tree.

Then he drank a mouthful himself, letting the tea fragrance spread in the air.

The tea fragrance was more mellow, intertwined with the remaining apricot blossoms, refreshing the heart.

After a long time, Ye Jingcheng got up and murmured.

"Fourth Grandfather, I'm going to inherit the position of family head!"
