Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Inside the cave dwelling, Ye Jingcheng stepped in once again.

His eyes were bright but also a bit weary.

After all, these past two years had been spent considering the exchange of spiritual herbs, dealing with cultivators, and traveling back and forth across the Central Region. The mental effort involved was no less than refining pills for two years.

Fortunately, now that everything had been gathered, it was all worthwhile.

At this moment, it was the height of summer. Jade lotuses bloomed in the lake, fish leaped joyfully in the water, golden bamboo shone brilliantly in the distance, and sheep ran freely. The entire cave dwelling was full of vibrant life, which allowed Ye Jingcheng to relax.

If returning to Sand Yellow Mountain was for safety, then returning to the cave dwelling was true freedom from worry. After all, within the cave dwelling, he was the sole master.

He didn't force himself to continue refining pills. Instead, he chose a spot by the spirit lake, brought over a grand master's chair, and lay down on it, doing nothing and thinking nothing, simply emptying his mind.

Even when a group of spirit beasts and wood spirits gathered around, Ye Jingcheng waved them away, took out some spirit pills, and let them disperse.

From the first day of cultivation, he had known that cultivation required a balance of tension and relaxation. After being tense for several years, he could finally calm down and rest for a moment.

For Ye Jingcheng, the tasks ahead were still not light. The Xuanji trip in five years and the Earth Immortal Realm trip in twenty-five years both posed considerable risks.

Ye Jingcheng sat by the spirit lake for three consecutive days. It wasn't until the fourth day, when the morning light faintly emerged and a fish-belly white appeared at the edge of the sky, that Ye Jingcheng got up and returned to the mountain peak.

The Scarlet Flame Fox also jumped forward, chirping nimbly.

"You'll have to wait a while!" Ye Jingcheng stroked the Scarlet Flame Fox's head, imbuing it with some precious light.

Then, he took out the Blood Soul Pearl and began to fuse with it.

Although he had been constantly on the move these years, the Blood Soul Pearl's blood clone had been constantly comprehending.

It was comprehending both the Blood Cleansing Pill and the fourth-order peach wood advancement spirit liquid.

These two spirit pills and spirit liquid were currently the most important.

After another half-month passed, the blood light in Ye Jingcheng's eyes dissipated, and he let out a long breath, completely digesting all his insights.

The Scarlet Flame Fox leaped in front of Ye Jingcheng again, its mouth opening and closing as Ye Jingcheng took out the Five Elements Furnace. Flames surged, and instantly, five elemental shadows emerged one by one, warming the furnace in an instant.

Ye Jingcheng finally began to refine spirit pills.

The first pills Ye Jingcheng refined were not advancement pills, but fourth-order Profound Flame Pills.

During his two years of auction and trading, Ye Jingcheng had obtained not only spirit herbs for advancement pills, but also many spirit herbs for fourth-order spirit pills.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent tens of millions of spirit stones.

Moreover, since he would be going to the Earth Immortal Realm in the future, he would naturally not be stingy with spirit herbs and spirit pills at this time. As long as the spirit beasts could digest and utilize them, he would continue to give them pills, allowing them to become as strong as possible.

And now, what he had to do was to refine spirit pills as much as possible.

… …

Another two years passed.

On the mountain peak, the Scarlet Flame Fox chirped, and instantly the flames intensified. A rich fragrance of pills also came from the pill furnace.

Ye Jingcheng cast the final spirit incantation. In an instant, the pill furnace actually surged with a rich blood light.

The lid of the furnace almost flew off.

However, Ye Jingcheng remained calm and cast several spirit incantations.

After a while, the furnace lid finally flew off, the flames also diminished a lot, and a blood-red spirit pill was revealed inside the pill furnace.

This spirit pill was full of spiritual light, its fragrance was intoxicating, and it was even somewhat妖异 because of the flowing blood light.

This was precisely the Blood Cleansing Pill that Long Xunxiang had commissioned to be refined.

"Finally, everything is successful!" Ye Jingcheng sighed with emotion.

After two years of pill refining, he had now exhausted almost all of his spirit herbs, and he could confidently call himself a fourth-order top-grade pill refiner.

This Blood Cleansing Pill was not the first one he had refined. He had also used the Ye family's previous demon cores to refine three pills.

Among them, two were fourth-order middle-grade, and one was a fourth-order top-grade Blood Cleansing Pill.

The former used the demon cores of two black crows, while the latter used the demon core of the Silver Moon Demon King.

The only pity was that only one pill was successfully produced in these three furnaces of Blood Cleansing Pills.

Of course, these three spirit pills were not all prepared for himself.

He himself was already in the middle stage of the Golden Core realm, and the fourth-order middle-grade Blood Cleansing Pill was of little use to him.

But it should still have a good effect on Ye Xuefan and Ye Xuecang.

If it weren't for the fact that he had to save some demon king spirit pills for the future to help the Ye family's Purple Mansion cultivators who had no hope of breaking through to the False Core realm, he would have planned to refine a few more Blood Cleansing Pills.

"Go cultivate!" Ye Jingcheng took out a Profound Flame Pill with pill patterns, gave it to the Scarlet Flame Fox, and imbued it with some precious light, then patted the Scarlet Flame Fox's head, letting it go up the mountain to cultivate.

Ye Jingcheng also walked down the spirit mountain.

As Ye Jingcheng walked down the spirit mountain, many wood spirits and spirit beasts in the cave dwelling gathered around.

After all, this was the time for them to enjoy the precious light and spirit pills.

Ye Jingcheng first looked at the advancing Jade Scaled Flood Dragon, Golden Falcon, and Five-Colored Cloud Deer. The three beasts were obviously still in the process of advancing and were estimated to need a few more years.

Then, he first came to the side of the spring spirit. He first poured all the newly produced blood spring water onto the ginseng seedlings of the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng. Seeing that the spirit leaves of the ginseng seedlings had grown larger, he also satisfiedly took out a third-order Blood Spring Pill and summoned the Blood Spring Spirit Shadow.

The latter immediately became excited and leaped onto the blood spring, worshipping Ye Jingcheng.

"Blood Spring, swallow it." Ye Jingcheng spoke softly, then threw the Blood Spring Pill towards the blood spring. The patterns in the blood spring instantly transformed into a child-like spirit shadow, opened its mouth and caught it. After swallowing the Blood Spring Pill, it transformed into a blood shadow again and surged into the spring water.

A large amount of blood light also emitted, clearly indicating that it was about to advance again.

Ye Jingcheng then gave the Roc Fish, White-Browed Blue Wolf, Stone Spirit Cave Dwelling, and Malachite advancement pills in turn.

After the two beasts and two demons swallowed them, they all entered seclusion.

Only the last few wood spirits and spirit insects looked at each other.

Although the advancement pills for the Star Pear Wood, Dream-Eating Worm, and Thunder Rhino Worm had also been refined, none of the three had broken through the third-order peak.

Taking fourth-order advancement pills was still too early.

The Ye family had cases of people who forcefully took high-level advancement pills due to insufficient cultivation and died directly.

"Master…" The peach wood spirit shadow also walked out. At this moment, it had broken through the third-order peak.

It originally wanted to sing praises and flatter him, but found that Ye Jingcheng no longer took out spirit liquid.

"Your spirit pill is the most difficult to refine and also the most precious. You still have to wait half a year," Ye Jingcheng said.

As soon as these words came out, the peach wood felt balanced.

In the cave dwelling, it was very clear about its position, which was to be the master's second-in-command, able to break formations and take bags outside, and able to tame beasts and guard inside.

It was normal for the advancement pill to be a little difficult to refine.

"The master has put in a lot of effort. The master should rest more. I'm watching over everything in this cave dwelling…"

Hearing that the peach wood was about to start a long speech of flattery again, Ye Jingcheng repeatedly took out several wood core spirit liquids and imbued the peach wood with a lot of precious light, which finally quieted the peach wood down.

Ye Jingcheng finally walked to the front of the Jade Ring Rat and Earth-Turning Earthworm, but found that different spirit patterns had begun to appear on the Jade Ring Rat's spirit ears.

Upon closer inspection, he found that the Jade Ring Rat's breathing technique had also been improved too much.

Its cultivation had unknowingly reached the late second-order. Although this was related to Ye Jingcheng giving it a lot of spirit pills, it could also indirectly show that the Jade Ring Rat was indeed working hard.

Ye Jincheng's spirit herb garden is now quite large, some collected by the family, and some he snatched from the Jin and Kong families in Jiayuan Prefecture.

But the Jade Ring Rat and Soil-Turning Earthworm have been diligently tending to it, and no mistakes have occurred.

"How far can you hear?" Ye Jincheng couldn't help but ask.

"Master, I'm not sure either." The Jade Ring Rat shook its head, its large eyes filled with confusion.

Although it knew it could hear very far and very clearly, it truly didn't know the exact extent.

"But I can hear the Yellow-Hide Monster... the Golden Scale Beast's breathing." The Jade Ring Rat said.

Hearing this, Ye Jincheng finally understood how the Jade Ring Rat had found the secrets of the breathing technique from the Golden Scale Beast.

After all, even the Soil-Turning Earthworm doesn't know it yet, while the Golden Falcon, Peng Fish, and White-Eyebrowed Azure Wolf only learn the breathing technique at the fourth rank.

It turned out to be due to its Jade Ring Ears, and its breathing technique enhances the Jade Ring Ears.

Through this cycle, its breathing technique has become increasingly refined.

Ye Jincheng suddenly felt a sense of anticipation: "Continue to improve your breathing technique, and I hope you can break through to the third rank within twenty years. I will provide you with Violet Mansion Jade Liquid, but the prerequisite is that you must further refine your breathing technique."

"In addition, you can record and study it on jade slips. I will give you some Mind-Clearing Tea every three years."

"If you can perfect a breathing technique belonging to the Jade Ring Rat clan, I can guarantee that you will become an ancestor of the rats." Ye Jincheng said.

Upon hearing this, the Jade Ring Rat's eyes lit up.

Not to mention becoming a rat ancestor or breaking through to the third rank, even breaking through to the peak of the second rank was an extremely joyous prospect for it.

It couldn't refuse the opportunity before it, which was exactly what it desired.

But it was worried that it would mess things up.

It shook its head, and its huge Jade Ring Ears drooped on its head, making a slapping sound. Then, as if it had made a decision, it nodded fiercely.

"Master, I will definitely do my best." The Jade Ring Rat said.

After Ye Jincheng infused some treasure light into the two beasts, he left the cave.

For him, if the Jade Ring Rat could break through to the third rank, its hearing might really play a role in the Earth Immortal Realm.

As for cultivation and combat power, Ye Jincheng didn't have much expectation for it.

After leaving the cave and appearing on Sand Yellow Mountain, Ye Jincheng began to activate the Dragon-Seeking Incense jade talisman.

…

Three days passed, and Ye Jincheng reappeared in Xiao Mountain Market.

He had agreed to trade with Dragon-Seeking Incense in Xiao Mountain Market.

This time, it was still in the Carefree Territory.

However, last time Ye Jincheng was a guest, but this time Ye Jincheng was already the host.

"Fellow Daoist Qianchen's methods are truly heaven-defying." Dragon-Seeking Incense couldn't help but smile, obviously having discovered that Ye Jincheng was now the person with the most say in the Tianchen Restaurant, formerly known as Thousand Dust.

Ye Jincheng didn't care about the other party's meaningful smile.

He simply took out a pill bottle containing blood-colored spirit pills, and slightly opened it, revealing a rich fragrance of pills.

Seeing this, Dragon-Seeking Incense's eyes also gleamed.

"Master Qianchen, your alchemy is truly divine." Dragon-Seeking Incense inadvertently changed his address.

A Core Formation中期 cultivator refining fourth-rank high-quality spirit pills, and refining them so well.

Of course, he didn't know that Ye Jincheng was afraid of refining them too well, so he didn't use the Spirit-Enhancing Secret Technique.

After Dragon-Seeking Incense finished being excited, he also took out the Heartless Singing Phoenix Wood and the Scarlet King雀's blood essence.

After Ye Jincheng looked at them, he put both items away.

"Today, Fellow Daoist Xunxian's expenses will be on me. Fellow Daoist, please enjoy yourself." Ye Jincheng was extremely happy to have obtained the two items, so he said.

"Master Qianchen is straightforward, but Master, I also have some spirit beast cubs here. I wonder if Fellow Daoist is interested." Dragon-Seeking Incense thanked him, and then suddenly said.

As he spoke, without waiting for Ye Jincheng to speak, he took out two spirit beast cubs from his spirit beast pouch.

One of them was a scarlet chick, and the other was a green-eyed white tiger.

Both spirit beasts were cubs, but their auras were around the early second rank.

They were considered extremely talented spirit beasts, and ordinary Golden Core sects could spend a large sum of money to buy them.

"So-so." Ye Jincheng sensed them with the Treasure Book again and found that both beasts only had three layers of advancement spirit light. Although it was already good, it was truly ordinary for the current Ye family.

Of course, under normal circumstances, Ye Jincheng would still pretend to be very interested.

But at this moment, in Ye Jincheng's view, it might be a channel for the Ye family to obtain powerful spirit beasts in the future.

This Dragon-Seeking Incense obviously had a big background in the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range, and there might be even more powerful spirit beast cubs in the future.

"For Master, it is indeed so-so. Master Qianchen, choose one. Consider it an extra reward for alchemy, without needing any spirit stones." Dragon-Seeking Incense said.

"Then this green-eyed white tiger!" Ye Jincheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded and put the white tiger away.

It was useless for him to keep the white tiger, but he could give it to Ye Xingliu.

His first spirit beast was a white tiger, but that white tiger's talent was really low, and it died during the beast tide in Azure Cloud Sea.

This one's talent was still a bit higher than that one, and it had cultivation value. Most importantly, it didn't cost a single spirit stone.

Neither of them mentioned spirit beast transactions again.

But Ye Jincheng knew in his heart that Dragon-Seeking Incense would definitely come to him for transactions in the future.

And he also knew why the Hundred Beast Sect of Prince Qing's Mansion could develop so well even though it didn't rely on the demon beast mountain range. I'm afraid that Dragon-Seeking Incense and the forces behind him provided it.

In the future, disputes between the Ye family and the Hundred Beast Sect were inevitable.

Just thinking of this, Ye Jincheng quickly let it go. Now that the prince was on the same side as him, it would be good if the Hundred Beast Sect didn't cause trouble. If it did, he was really not afraid, and it might even send a great opportunity to the Ye family.

After leaving the Carefree Territory, Ye Jincheng looked at the market and the restaurant again.

The restaurant's business was even better than he had imagined. In the future, the Ye family might have to increase the scale of raising spirit beasts in the Heavenly Grassland.

Of course, the task of raising these spirit beasts could also be handed over to those affiliated families.

He believed they would be very willing to do it.

After Ye Jincheng left the restaurant, he also looked at the Pill Pavilion and Formation Pavilion. Xiao Congrong was now at the peak of the second rank, and had also taken on some commissioned tasks. Among them, a fourth-rank commissioned task finally appeared, commissioned by Consort He.

Ye Jincheng estimated that Consort He was also going to the Earth Immortal Realm to make a gamble.

After Ye Jincheng finished looking, he also left some fourth-rank and third-rank spirit pills in the Pill Pavilion for sale.

After all, he bought a lot of spirit herbs. If he didn't sell any spirit pills, it wouldn't be normal.

Taking some out now and selling them in limited quantities would prevent others from speculating too much.

Finally, Ye Jincheng took out the Mysterious Light Boat again and headed towards Sand Yellow Mountain.

Now that everything was ready, it was time to refine Peach Essence and improve his own strength.
