Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

In front of Medicine King Mountain was a large peach blossom forest.

These peach trees were all Rank 2 Azure Moon Peach trees, blooming twice in spring and autumn, and bearing fruit once every five years.

At this moment, it was the flowering season, with a riot of colors, incomparably beautiful.

The Guest-Welcoming Palace and the Guest-Welcoming Pavilion were both located within the peach blossom forest, and the Ye family also had a dedicated palace, built magnificently and grandly, not inferior to the average True Lord's bedroom.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, this place is the Ye family's Guest-Welcoming Palace. The space is limited, the palace is not large, and the furnishings are simple. I hope Fellow Daoist Ye won't find it too shabby!"

The one responsible for guiding the Ye family was a middle-aged man with a goatee, who also had an early-stage Golden Core cultivation.

"Fellow Daoist Songhe is too polite. Such a palace is already more than my Ye family deserves."

Ye Xuecang cupped his hands in response.

"Fellow Daoist Ye is too kind. Next, I still have to guide other major sects. If you have any requests, you can send a message at any time!"

True Person Songhe cupped his hands and then took his leave.

After True Person Songhe left, the Ye family members once again sized up the palace.

The younger members of the Ye family, such as Ye Jinghu, were naturally overjoyed.

However, Ye Xuecang and Ye Haicheng frowned.

Their keen senses detected that only Nascent Soul forces could have a dedicated Guest-Welcoming Palace. Other forces, such as the Heavenly Saber Gate, could only stay in the Guest-Welcoming Pavilion.

This meant that both Medicine King Valley and Taiyi Sect believed that the Ye family had Nascent Soul combat power.

This was certainly good; their reputation was enhanced, and the Ye family's status was also elevated.

However, for Ye Xuecang, it was a bit too high-profile, and apart from the empty name, there was no practical benefit.

If he had a choice, he would rather stay in the Guest-Welcoming Pavilion.

Fortunately, this time, they at least had Golden Core cultivators present. If there were only a few Purple Mansion cultivators, staying in this Nascent Soul guest palace, Medicine King Valley and Golden Light Temple would probably have some reservations.

Furthermore, if the matter of the palace spread, Penglai and Qinghe Sect would probably try to target the Ye family.

"It should be Sikong Ziming who informed Fairy Linghong!"

Ye Haicheng said through voice transmission.

In the Earth Immortal Realm, Sikong Ziming holding the Golden Cicada Pearl represented that Sikong Ziming also had connections with the Golden Light Temple. In addition, the Ye family had previously killed the late-stage Golden Core True Person Xi Wang, so it was normal for Fairy Linghong to guess that the Ye family had a Nascent Soul cultivator.

After all, the agreement between the Ye family and Sikong Ziming was also based on the Ye family being able to produce Nascent Soul combat power.

"You guys wait here. Jingyu will go with me to the palace where the Taiyi Sect is located. On the surface, we are still an affiliated force of the Taiyi Sect, so we still need to pay our respects!"

Ye Xuecang nodded and then spoke again.

Of course, going to pay respects was a pretense; going to see Fairy Linghong was the real reason.

The Taiyi Sect's palace was not far from the Ye family's palace, but when the Ye family arrived, they did not see Fairy Linghong. Even among the Golden Core cultivators, apart from True Person Tianzhen and Fairy Liuhuan, there were few that the Ye family was familiar with.

Apparently, those Golden Core cultivators who participated in the Earth Immortal Realm were probably still being detained within the Penglai Immortal Sect's mountain gate at this time.

The Ye family naturally returned without success.

They had no choice but to quietly wait in the palace for the lecture to begin. After all, the Ye family was not familiar with many Nascent Soul forces, and there was no need for the Ye family to interact with the Golden Core forces at this moment.

… …

When Ye Jingcheng left, True Person Ziyue summoned Ye Qingshuang back.

Her eyes were full of confusion as she looked at Qingshuang:

"Your family seems to be hiding something from you."

"Master, the family has been asking me about the reason for my cultivation speed and is indeed a little afraid of me. After all, I sent some treasures back this time, but they wouldn't hide anything from me."

Ye Qingshuang did not answer immediately, but thought for a moment before replying.

As she spoke, she took out a storage bag.

"This is some spiritual medicine and spiritual stone support that the family gave me. They also hope that I can break through to the Golden Core stage."

The last time Ye Qingshuang returned to the Ye family, the family naturally prepared some spiritual medicine for her.

"These days, you can also go to your family's palace more often. If there is anything you need help with, this teacher will report it to Martial Aunt Linghong."

True Person Ziyue said.

"Thank you, Master. I will go when I have time, but I feel that the opportunity to break through has already appeared recently. I want to break through to the late stage of the Purple Mansion as soon as possible, condense the Golden Core early, and contribute to the sect."

Hearing this, Ye Qingshuang nodded, then cupped her hands and retreated into the side hall, found a room, and began to meditate quietly.

She did not go to the Ye family's palace immediately, but as usual, fed the Frost Centipede in the spirit beast bag with spirit food and carefully stroked the icy armor heads of the two Frost Centipedes.

The Frost Centipedes had now broken through to the peak of the second rank, and were born extremely ferocious, with dense centipede feet.

But she was not afraid, but rather loved the two Frost Centipedes very much.

These were spirit beasts that the family and her eleventh uncle had sent her, and they were of extraordinary significance to her.

After feeding the spirit beasts, she began to meditate and cultivate.

The new cultivation technique she had switched to was very easy to cultivate, and even a cycle seemed particularly simple.

However, when cultivating, she tried to stop slightly and found that her body was faintly aching.

And she was finally able to free up her thoughts and recall her actions over the years.

She was not considered dull. On the contrary, she was very meticulous. Ye Jingcheng had praised her intelligence the first time he saw her.

She knew the family's precautions against her grand-uncle Ye Jingteng, and she knew the family's favoritism towards her, but precisely because of this, she also noticed the family's perception of her in recent years.

From Ye Qingyan's reaction when he learned that she had switched cultivation techniques, to the fact that the family seemed to deliberately hide some details in recent years, and also, the family was unwilling for her to stay on Lingyun Peak for too long.

She naturally vaguely felt something was wrong.

Therefore, she would occasionally try to switch cultivation techniques before, but whenever she wanted to switch back to the previous cultivation technique, the meridians throughout her body would faintly ache.

Now, even True Person Ziyue was asking her this. It should be known that her cultivation technique was arranged and bestowed upon her by True Person Ziyue.

“If only Eleventh Uncle were here, perhaps he could give me some guidance…” Ye Qingshuang felt a bitter taste in her mouth.

But she could only restrain her emotions.

The Taiyi Sect is now deeply intertwined with the Medicine King Valley, and the Medicine King Valley can contend with the Penglai Immortal Sect.

The Ye family is just a Golden Core family, and neither the Medicine King Valley nor Penglai are powers the Ye family can afford to offend.

If there really is something special about her, she only hopes that she can delay things for a while, giving the Ye family enough time to develop and prepare.

With this thought in mind, she began to cultivate again, but her mind kept replaying the scenes from the clan school hall on Lingyun Peak.

Those were her happiest years.

…

The spiritual energy in the Peach Blossom Forest of Medicine King Mountain was even better than expected.

Even Ye Jingyu felt his true essence becoming more refined.

Therefore, even though there were some trade fairs, Ye Jingyu did not attend any of them.

Although not participating at this time seemed somewhat unsociable, as far as the Ye family was concerned, what they needed to pay attention to now was the Medicine King Valley and Penglai. The opinions of other forces were of no concern to the Ye family.

Besides Ye Jingyu, Ye Xuecang and Ye Haicheng were also constantly in closed-door meditation, and just at this moment.

A sound transmission talisman flew in and landed in front of Ye Xuecang.

Ye Xuecang pinched the sound transmission talisman, and inside it was actually a talisman from Immortal Linghong summoning him for questioning.

Seeing this, Ye Xuecang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the tone of the talisman was full of questioning, as if questioning why the Ye family had hidden such a large force.

But the more it was like this, the more at ease Ye Xuecang felt. He still only brought Ye Jingyu with him.

The two walked out of the palace and headed towards the palace where the Taiyi Sect was located.

On this day, he finally met Immortal Linghong.

Compared to before, Immortal Linghong no longer seemed to reject people from a thousand miles away, possessing a sense of transcendence and detachment from worldly affairs.

The current Immortal Linghong had an expressionless face and deep eyes, truly befitting the leader of a sect.

“The Ye family has hidden themselves very well!” Immortal Linghong sized up Ye Xuecang before speaking.

Ye Xuecang did not speak, but looked around.

“Rest assured, the formations here are arranged so that unless Divine Lord Tiande is personally outside, no one can eavesdrop.” Immortal Linghong was somewhat surprised by Ye Xuecang’s caution, but thinking that the Ye family had reached its current state, if it weren't for that caution, they would probably have been exterminated long ago.

“Senior Linghong, it’s not that the Ye family is hiding deeply, but that the Ye family has no choice but to hide.” Hearing this, Ye Xuecang finally spoke, but he did not intend to offer any further explanations.

At this time, any other explanations were useless.

He could insist to Penglai that he encountered danger and was trapped in the Taihang Mountains, but Immortal Linghong was the daughter of True Lord Baiyao and had given the Golden Cicada Pearl to Sikong Ziming, so the possibility of her being deprived of her foundation was unlikely.

Being upfront at this time was the best approach.

“Oh?” Immortal Linghong remained noncommittal, her eyes still sharp.

“Our Ye family accidentally obtained some inheritances from the Eight Desolations Sect and was misunderstood by the Penglai Immortal Sect. I believe Senior Baiyao invited the eminent monks from the Golden Light Temple out of concern that Penglai would misunderstand.” After Ye Xuecang finished speaking, he also looked into Immortal Linghong’s eyes.

“Continue,” Immortal Linghong said, showing some interest on her face upon hearing this.

“I wonder what cultivation method Senior Linghong practices? Is your divine sense strong enough to prevent prying eyes?” Ye Xuecang then spoke again.

As soon as these words came out, Immortal Linghong immediately took out several formation flags and set up formations again in the palace.

The relaxed expression from before was gone, replaced by caution.

After the formations were set up, she looked at Ye Xuecang:

“What else does your Ye family know?”

Unintentionally, the spiritual pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator was also revealed.

Ye Xuecang was fine, but Ye Jingyu, being just a Purple Mansion cultivator, was already trembling.

“The Ye family doesn’t know anything else, but if True Lord Baiyao breaks through, perhaps our Ye family can recall something.”

“More than a dozen members of our Ye family came here with the determination to die. You should also know that our Ye family still has core cultivators who haven’t come. Therefore, if something happens to us, the answers you want will also disappear.” Ye Xuecang naturally would not reveal the Demon Refining Pillar.

However, he felt that the Medicine King Valley should know something about the Eight Desolations Sect.

And perhaps know the real reason why the Eight Desolations Sect was destroyed.

Ye Xuecang had already been extremely bold in saying this. Of course, this was not a rash act on his part, but a decision made after careful consideration.

If True Lord Baiyao could break through, it would not be impossible for the Ye family to offer the Demon Refining Pillar.

That was why he asked about Immortal Linghong’s cultivation method.

At the same time, because Sikong Ziming and Sikong Zitian could have their Dao foundations seized, it was certain that the Medicine King Valley could not prevent it either.

As long as True Lord Baiyao broke through, the Medicine King Valley would definitely need the Demon Refining Pillar to test all the Medicine King Valley cultivators, otherwise they might not even dare to practice the cultivation methods they had accidentally obtained.

Moreover, they would not know whether any cultivators who had practiced before had already been infected.

“If you explain everything clearly, even if the Yan Kingdom’s cultivation world is destroyed, I can guarantee the Ye family’s safety!” Immortal Linghong’s tone changed, she withdrew her spiritual pressure, and there was even some respect in her eyes.

“Senior Linghong, please understand that the Ye family came this time because Penglai is a common enemy, not because the Ye family of Yan Kingdom is afraid to die!” Ye Xuecang’s tone also became cold.

After speaking, Ye Xuecang cupped his hands and began to take his leave.

He had said enough today. Ye Xuecang believed that if Immortal Linghong was wise, she would protect the Ye family as much as possible, and even try to protect the Yan Kingdom’s cultivation world.

At least until True Lord Baiyao broke through.

Seeing Ye Xuecang and Ye Jingyu turn around and leave, Immortal Linghong wanted to say something to stop them, but in the end, she didn’t say a word.
