Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Lingyun Peak, halfway up the mountain, the Council Hall.

It was early morning, the rain and dew had not yet dissipated, and the scorching sun had not yet appeared, making the hall appear even more gloomy and cold.

Ye Jingcheng entered the hall and discovered that he was not the only one who had been summoned; Ye Jingli, Ye Jingyun, and Ye Xingyu were also present.

The three of them were together, discussing something.

However, their expressions were serious.

Ye Jingyun, like him, was an alchemy cultivator. His name shared a character with Ye Haiyun, the fourth elder of the Ye family. He was ranked ninth among the Jing generation and possessed decent alchemy skills.

Ye Jingli and Ye Xingyu were both artifact refiners, with the latter being a first-order intermediate artifact refiner in the Ye family.

After a while, Ye Xingliu, the head of the Ye family, walked out from the side of the hall and looked at the four of them.

"Jingcheng, Xingyu, this matter is quite urgent, but it is extremely important to the family!"

"The alchemy and artifact refining cultivators in the family's shops in the market have been conscripted by the sect, but the market shops cannot stop operating, otherwise it would be a great loss to the family!"

Ye Xingliu slowly spoke.

The Yan Kingdom had three sects, and the Ye family was under the jurisdiction of the Taiyi Sect.

These sects all had Golden Core and Nascent Soul experts, and small families like the Ye family were protected by these sects.

At the same time, they also needed to pay taxes and tributes every year, and could be conscripted at any time when changes occurred.

This time, the Ye family's alchemists and artifact refiners were being conscripted, and it seemed to be for a large-scale battle.

However, it should be known that these conscriptions, apart from the daily offerings of spirit stones, offered very few other benefits. Only with good relations could one acquire new pill formulas and artifact crafting diagrams.

Otherwise, they were just cheap labor.

After being conscripted, the Ye family's market would be out of stock for a long time.

The Ye family was not a large clan to begin with, and if something happened to the market shops, it would greatly affect the Ye family's finances.

"You will go to the Taihang Market, and the family's offerings will be directly doubled. In addition, the family will provide you with defensive magical artifacts and flying magical artifacts. The spiritual pills and magical artifacts refined in the market will still be purchased according to the family's policy, without requiring you to sell them. However, the choice of what to refine will be somewhat restricted!"

"No problem, Family Head!" Ye Xingyu said.

"Third Uncle, we have no problem either!" Ye Jingcheng and the other cultivators nodded in agreement.

They were going to refine pills for the family, which was inevitable. They would also learn some pill formulas and artifact refining diagrams, saving them a lot of contribution points. They were naturally satisfied.

They didn't think much of this restriction.

Especially for Ye Jingcheng, he had not yet found the spiritual herbs for the mysterious pill formula in his ancient book. Going to the market would be a good opportunity to collect them in secret.

In the past year, his alchemy skills had improved, and his contribution points had recovered from over a hundred to two hundred and fifty.

"Good, you can go to the family treasury to choose your magical artifacts!"

"As for the rest, go to the market and find your uncle Ye Xinghe. He is still in charge of the market."

After Ye Xingliu gave his instructions, the four of them took their leave.

This matter was urgent, leaving them no time to prepare.

The Taihang Market was not close to Lingyun Peak. Even with a spirit boat, it would take two or three days.

After leaving the Council Hall, the four of them headed towards the Treasure Hall.

This time, they were selecting magical artifacts, and the Eighth Elder, Ye Haiping, was guarding the Treasure Hall.

He had obviously heard about the four's mission and immediately led them to the third floor!

The Treasure Hall had three floors. The first floor contained miscellaneous items, the second floor contained inheritance items such as cultivation methods and pill formulas, and the third floor contained magical artifacts.

Unlike the casual placement of cultivation methods and books, the magical artifacts on the third floor were also displayed on shelves, but each magical artifact had a shallow layer of spiritual cover.

This was to prevent the magical artifacts from losing their spiritual power over time, thereby wasting their power.

"Each of you can choose one offensive magical artifact and one defensive magical artifact."

"It's best to choose what suits you. Outside, during cultivator battles, every move is meant to kill you. It's far more dangerous than hunting demons!" Ye Haiping advised from the side, mainly targeting the three inexperienced Jing generation cultivators.

Ye Jingcheng and the other two nodded and began to look around.

Almost all three of them chose defensive magical artifacts first.

Ye Jingli was also next to Ye Jingcheng:

"Jingcheng, I'll help you look around later!"

Ye Jingli was an artifact refiner and owed Ye Jingcheng a favor.

"Then thank you, Sixth Brother!" Ye Jingcheng didn't decline. He was certainly not as good as Ye Jingli in artifact refining.

The Ye family had many magical artifacts, most of which were intact, and a few were damaged.

Ye Jingcheng's goal was a palm-sized wooden shield and a layer of silver armor.

Both were first-order intermediate magical artifacts, and even buying them would cost one or two hundred spirit stones. This time, the Ye family was spending a lot.

"Jingcheng, the armor's defense is comprehensive, while the wooden shield's defense is focused. The latter is definitely better than the former!" Ye Jingli also introduced.

"Moreover, judging from the reinforcement formations, this small shield is much better than the armor."

"Okay!" Ye Jingcheng nodded and chose the wooden shield.

At this time, Ye Jingli had already made his choice. He chose a small bell, which was both offensive and defensive.

He could refine ordinary defensive magical artifacts himself, so he didn't lack them.

When it came to choosing an offensive magical artifact, Ye Jingcheng was in a bit of a dilemma, and Ye Jingli could only recommend the good and bad from the side. The most important thing was suitability. After all, Ye Jingcheng already had a flying sword.

"Jingcheng, your choice of that ironwood牌 is not bad. It goes well with your Crimson Flame Fox!" After looking at many knives, axes, flying swords, and spears, Ye Jingli suddenly pointed to a wooden牌 and said.

Ye Jingcheng also looked towards the wooden牌. This magical artifact was very special, like a small shield, but it was thin, with many ironwood trees painted on it, growing extremely lush.

Next to the magical artifact was an introduction to its usage. This ironwood牌 could activate countless giant wooden vines within a ten-meter radius, wrapping and trapping enemies.

"Then I'll take this one!" Ye Jingcheng confirmed after reading it.

This ironwood牌, as Ye Jingli said, went well with the Crimson Flame Fox's fireballs and his flying sword!

Most importantly, his Crimson Flame Fox was no longer just a fireball technique…

He didn't need to pursue higher offensives at all.

Ye Jingcheng chose the ironwood牌, but what he didn't expect was that Ye Jingli chose a pill furnace.

This pill furnace had three ears, with some slight damage to the ears!

But it did not affect its performance in any way. The most important part of a pill furnace was the furnace body.

At this moment, even Ye Haiping and Ye Xingyu looked over, somewhat confused.

After all, it was a bit abnormal for an artifact refiner to choose a pill furnace as an offensive magical artifact!
