Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

The golden light of the setting sun cast exceptionally long shadows on the bamboo forest of Taihang Market.

Ye Jingcheng walked out of the restaurant, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

With this transaction with Ye Jingteng, he had collected most of the spiritual materials for the stone formula. The few remaining were relatively common, and even if the Ye family didn't have them now, they could be found with some effort.

In addition, he had given Ye Jingteng the spirit liquid formula for advancing the second-order peach wood tree demon bloodline, allowing him to exchange it.

In the past, Ye Jingteng was still hesitant and refused somewhat, but now that the Jade Soul Pill was extremely popular in the Taiyi Sect, and with the arrival of the Taihao and Tianzhen elders from Illusion Peak,

he had no reservations at all. After a little drink, he promised everything to Ye Jingcheng.

The stone roads of Taihang Market were not well-maintained; on the contrary, they were a bit crooked, making the market look like a newly emerging mortal town.

It was far inferior to Taichang Market.

However, the feeling of blue sky and bamboo forest under the setting sun in Taihang Market, in Ye Jingcheng's view, was definitely something that Taichang Market could not compare to.

He slowly walked back to the spirit beast shop. In the setting sun, business at the Ye family's shop had also slowed down, but he saw a cultivator in an isolation robe still waiting at the entrance.

Ye Xinghong was also at the entrance of the shop, poking his head out, and immediately gave him a strange look. Ye Jingcheng instantly understood.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng coming over, the cultivator in the isolation robe immediately walked forward.

"Patriarch Ye, I have a business deal I want to discuss with you," the person said in a low voice.

"Oh? What business is it?" Ye Jingcheng asked calmly.

"It's not very convenient here…"

"It's mainly the timing that's inconvenient. The Ye family's restaurant will open tomorrow, and I'll have to entertain distinguished guests from the Taiyi Sect later. Why not talk to my granduncle?" Ye Jingcheng tentatively suggested.

Upon hearing this, the person's face immediately turned ugly.

But upon hearing about the distinguished guests from the Taiyi Sect, he ultimately didn't flare up, just nodded and stepped aside, seemingly waiting for Ye Xinghe.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng went straight into the room.

He was almost certain that the person before him was Xu Wenjin, the newly promoted head of the Xu family.

For the next few years, without knowing the intentions of the Jin and Kong families, he didn't want to communicate with the Xu family.

Moreover, now that True Person Tianfu had accepted him as a nominal disciple, he had even more capital to wave the tiger's banner.

Uniting with the Xu family at this time to target the Jindan family, the Kong family, was unwise.

Winning would inevitably expose the Ye family's strength, and the key was that exposing it wouldn't benefit the Ye family in any way.

But if they were oppressed by the Kong family and kept enduring, it might cause the family's cultivators to lose confidence.

However, refusing was also impossible. If there really was a problem, the Ye family would still join hands.

But definitely not now.

And the Xu family wouldn't be eroded by the Kong family so quickly.

Ye Jingcheng entered the house and immediately began to study the formula for the Ren Water Pill.

Since he knew that the future would be turbulent, the best way to cope was to improve his strength.

The night passed quickly.

As the morning light shone through the bamboo forest, the entire Taihang Market gradually began to liven up.

Especially the restaurant area of Taihang Market.

It was even more bustling. The restaurants were hung with big red lanterns, and the ground was covered with red carpets. The grand scene of the restaurants could be seen from a distance.

Unlike Taichang Market, Taihang Market didn't have any Jindan families, so it was naturally impossible to have four-story buildings.

In addition, the Jin and Kong families only sent Zifu branch families, and this situation would continue for a long time.

Many Ye family cultivators stood on both sides, and colorful smoke and mist floated in the sky.

And what was even more surprising was that eight spirit rats, holding a jade plate, stood in front of the restaurant, extremely human-like and fully displaying the Ye family's characteristics.

The spirit rats' jade plate held spirit fruits with considerable spiritual energy, emitting an enticing spiritual fragrance.

And at the entrance of the restaurant, there was a long Eight Immortals table.

On it were dozens of cups of Welcoming Spring Tea and Cloud Floating Tea.

These spiritual teas were all for the guests who would be arriving later, and they were also the best signboard of the Ye family's restaurant.

A large number of cultivators quickly gathered in front of the restaurant.

"Thank you all fellow cultivators for coming. Today, the Ye family's restaurant is honored by your presence. Now that the time has come, we hope you will all come inside!" Seeing that the time had come, Ye Jingcheng didn't say much and directly announced the opening of the restaurant.

The opening of this restaurant was different from other celebrations. There were few gifts received, and there was no cheering. If someone sent a gift, it was a sign of friendship. If no one sent a gift, the Ye family would still treat them well.

And the cultivator guides were also divided into several levels. Ye Jingcheng was responsible for cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage, and Ye Xinghe was responsible for cultivators in the late Qi training stage and some family heads of Qi training families.

Further down, Ye Jingli was responsible for welcoming in loose cultivators.

The first to enter were the shills that the Ye family had found and the real loose cultivators. After these people filled the first floor, it was the turn of those small families.

Originally, some small families were still in a wait-and-see state. After all, the Ye family was new to the restaurant business, and even if they were good at spirit cuisine, many people didn't think it would be very good.

But seeing that it was crowded with people, some loose cultivators were still dumbfounded, and then they hurriedly walked in.

The Ye family's restaurant was offering half price today, and there were also lucky cultivators who could be gifted a second-tier Red Joint Fish.

At this moment, they were all worried that they would be too late and lose all the benefits.

And after these small families were invited in one by one, the Chen family, the Chu family, and the Xu family appeared in the distance.

The Chu family sent Chu Yanhao, who was also in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, while the Xu family sent Xu Wenjin.

Both of them brought a gift, but their expressions were different, and they both seemed to have some concerns.

Chu Yanhao was worried, while Xu Wenjin's face carried some hatred, seemingly feeling that Ye Jingcheng had rejected his face.

"Brother Chu, Brother Xu, please come to the second floor," Ye Jingcheng said directly.

However, these words immediately changed the expressions of the two, after all, they were both Zifu families, but soon, they thought of something, and a trace of horror appeared in their eyes. After looking around, and still not finding anything, they walked towards the second floor with some suspicion.

"Brother Ye, congratulations, congratulations!" Jin Yutang also walked out from afar at this moment.

He held a fiery red blessing umbrella magic tool in his hand.

This magic tool was very meaningful, with the flavor of a protective umbrella.

However, Ye Jingcheng remained calm and presented the spiritual tea.

If he hadn't been clear about the Jin family's ambitions in the past, but Ye Xingliu had reminded him before, he wouldn't be completely unaware.

However, today, the Jin family was destined to be disappointed.

"Brother Jin, please go to the third floor!" Ye Jingcheng said.

Jin Yutang was instantly satisfied with Ye Jingcheng's arrangement.

He now represented the Taihang branch family, and in theory, he should be on the same floor as the Chu family.

Now going to the third floor meant that Ye Jingcheng really understood his meaning.

Even if he didn't fully understand, he at least knew most of it.

"Little friend Ye, could it be that you don't welcome my Kong family, or do you think that Taihang County doesn't have the Green Willow Kong family?" Just then, a voice came from afar.

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Many loose cultivators and small family cultivators sitting inside also began to become nervous.

They certainly didn't know about the relationship between the Ye family and the Kong family beforehand, let alone that the Ye family hadn't invited the Kong family.

"Senior Kong, look at my memory. Our invitation was sent to Taiqiu Mountain. Today, the Ye family is at fault. Today, the Ye family presents the Kong family with a second-order spiritual meal!" Ye Jingcheng said repeatedly.

The person in front of him was none other than Kong Yulong, the Jade Dragon Immortal, whom they had bid against at the auction.

"Hmph!" Kong Yulong snorted coldly. A second-order spiritual meal wouldn't make him drop the matter.

He had been worried about not being able to find fault with the Ye family, but he didn't expect Ye Jingcheng to be so petty as to not invite the Kong family. This gave him an opportunity to make a fuss.

However, the next moment, Ye Jingcheng stepped past him and looked directly behind him.

This scene also made Kong Yulong curious. Could there be a cultivator in Taihang Bazaar with a higher status than him?

But with this one look, he saw Liu Huan, Ye Jingteng, and a group of Taiyi Sect disciples.

He also saw the Taihao Immortal and the Tianzhen Immortal. Most importantly, he saw an inconspicuous old man in a purple robe with a red face among them.

"Senior Tianzhen, Senior Taihao, Brother, Fairy Liu, please come in…" Ye Jingcheng said repeatedly. He really wanted to call out to Real Person Tianfu.

Unfortunately, Real Person Tianfu transmitted his voice to him, telling him not to make it public.

In Taihang County, there are still many cultivators who do not recognize Real Person Tianfu.

After all, the Real Persons of the Taiyi Sect who are active outside are mostly newly promoted Wonderful Dharma Real Persons and Profound Dao Real Persons.

As far as he was concerned, even if he didn't make it public, Kong Yulong, Jinyutang, and several major family cultivators would definitely recognize him.

The possibility of something happening to the Ye family in the future would be extremely low.

This was enough to satisfy him immensely.

At this moment, Kong Yulong looked as if he had swallowed a bitter melon, his face full of embarrassment.

But he still had to try to restrain himself.

Of course, Jin Yutang on the third floor of the restaurant also had a bad look on his face. Next to him was Kong Yulong, a Violet Palace cultivator from the Kong family. The main seats were occupied by the Tianzhen Immortal, the Taihao Immortal, and Real Person Tianfu.

Ye Jingcheng wasn't flattering him at all. He was clearly trying to put him in a dire situation.

He didn't want to stay there for even a moment.

At the same time, he also understood that he needed to bring the scene that happened today back to his family as soon as possible.

The relationship between the Ye family and the Illusory Peak of the Taiyi Sect was far too outrageous.

"Fellow Daoist Kong, what gift did you prepare today?" The Taihao Immortal also invited Kong Yulong's table, and asked at just the right time.

This question made Kong Yulong's face even more embarrassed.

He had come to sabotage the event, so how could he have prepared any gifts? In the end, he had to put down a piece of top-grade second-order malachite as a congratulatory gift.

He also forced a smile, but even the smile that he had cultivated for many years didn't look natural enough in front of several Foundation Establishment juniors.

A top-grade second-order malachite could also be worth five or six thousand spirit stones, which made Kong Yulong, a Violet Palace cultivator, feel extremely distressed.

But he understood the stakes even more.

The Kong family couldn't deal with the Ye family and the Xu family together anymore.

However, what he didn't understand was why the Ye family had suddenly become involved with Real Person Tianfu.

He tried hard to see something from Ye Jingcheng's face.

However, Ye Jingcheng was only pouring spiritual wine and serving spiritual meals beside him, not at all like a family head, but rather like a wine-accompanying servant.

But this made Kong Yulong and Jin Yutang even more fearful.

Such a Ye family head was terrifying.

If Ye Jingcheng had relied on the Taiyi Sect to attack Kong Yulong in this restaurant, it would have proved that Ye Jingcheng had no city.

Now, they not only had to worry about the Ye family growing up, but also about the meaning of the sect.

The sect had released information asking them to disrupt the three families in Taihang County, and now they had sent the Illusory Peak of the Taiyi Sect, which made them have to think more.

However, at this moment, they couldn't figure out the reason, and only hated that the banquet wouldn't end sooner so that they could return to their families and ask their ancestors about the meaning of the sect with treasures.

The banquet ended at sunset, and the golden afterglow of the dusk shone warmly on people.

The bamboo shoots deep in the bamboo forest seemed to be growing stronger in this warmth.

And the Ye family restaurant was destined to become a good story in Taihang County for the next few years or even decades.

According to some rogue cultivators, the banquet on the first floor of the restaurant had changed tables ten times.

And the spiritual tea and spiritual fish that the Ye family sent out were worth thousands of spirit stones.

As for the specific data, there was naturally no way to verify it, but the more it was spread, the larger the number became.

Taihang Bazaar also had an increasingly hot idea.

It was even rumored that most of the demon beasts in the Scarlet Cloud Ridge of the Taihang Mountains had been wiped out and were already in a slump, which attracted more and more rogue cultivators to hunt demons.

… …

While Taihang Bazaar was extremely lively, Ye Jingcheng had already returned to Lingyun Peak.

It wasn't that he didn't want to stay in the bazaar for a while to observe, but mainly because he wasn't at ease with the Scarlet Jade Plate.

If the Tianfu Elder made some demands or restrictions on him, he would be more at ease.

So, the next day, Ye Jingcheng came to Lingyun Lake.

He continued to take out the family token and began to transmit his voice towards the lake.

However, there was no response for a long time.

It was as if Ye Xuecang had already left the lake and gone to the Azure Cloud Sea in the East Sea to find an opportunity to break through to the Golden Core stage.

Ye Jingcheng could only settle for the next best thing and walk towards Ye Haicheng's cave.

Ye Haicheng's cave was located in the Spirit Beast Valley, which was also the highest place for the Ye family's cave.

It was considered a gateway to Lingyun Lake and also served to supervise the spirit beasts in Spirit Beast Valley.

Although the Ye family was a beast-hunting family, spirit beast riots within the family were not uncommon.

Sometimes it was the stimulation of spiritual herbs, and sometimes it was the roar of some Violet Palace Great Demons or Demon Kings.

Ye Jingcheng came to the outside of Ye Haicheng's house, but found that Ye Haicheng's yard was also open.

The yard was extremely simple.

Apart from countless black ironwood stakes, there was also a waterfall behind the yard. This waterfall was the sluice gate of the spirit lake, and a river was formed from here, irrigating from the top of the mountain towards the bottom.

"Grand Uncle!" A figure wearing a black robe walked out of the house.

He was still so majestic.

"Second Uncle has already gone to the East Sea." Ye Haicheng's words gave Ye Jingcheng the answer.

Ye Jingcheng also nodded, took out the Scarlet Jade Plate, and told him about Real Person Tianfu accepting him as a nominal disciple.

In an instant, Ye Haicheng also fell silent, only looking at the Scarlet Jade Plate, and did not move for a long time.

After a long time, he spoke:

"There is no problem, this jade plate has a flash of spiritual energy, it is estimated that it is testing our Ye family's highest combat power!"

"In addition, now that we can hug Real Person Tianfu's thigh, it is not a bad thing for our Ye family at the moment."
