Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

The banquet was a joyous occasion for everyone.

Even True Person Xuan Dao occasionally joined the conversation.

The latter, as a veteran Golden Core cultivator of the Taiyi School, possessed extensive knowledge of the customs and traditions of various counties and even the Eastern Domain countries.

He seemed particularly happy today.

Of course, even so, Ye Jincheng avoided saying anything inappropriate.

The other Supreme Elders were also astute individuals, offering auspicious words about the possibility of spiritual body cultivators giving birth to spiritual bodies, prompting Ye Jincheng to return the congratulations.

However, they remained silent about matters concerning the sects or the situation in Yan Country.

The situation was sensitive. The Taiyi School had not mentioned the extermination of rebellious parties or the state of Taiqing County, but it was highly likely that it had been carved out, given the Taiyi School's weakened state.

After consuming the spiritual cuisine, everyone was impressed by the Ye family's culinary skills.

Upon learning of the Ye family's plans to open a Ye family restaurant in Taichang Market, they pledged their strong support.

Ye Jincheng couldn't discern who was sincere and who wasn't, but he knew that Jin Yutang's words were false.

The banquet soon came to an end. Next, Ye Jincheng only needed to complete the final procedure, one that was personal to him.

The guests all entered the pavilions and towers that the Ye family had prepared for them in advance.

However, just as Ye Jincheng was about to leave the main hall, someone sent him a voice transmission.

Ye Jincheng wasn't surprised and entered a side hall, where he found Wei Dazhong waiting.

Seeing Ye Jincheng approach, Wei Dazhong rushed forward as if he had found a lifeline.

"Senior Ye!"

"What is it?" Ye Jincheng's tone was slightly cold.

Before Wei Dazhong could speak, he continued:

"I've heard that you have dealings with the Yuan family, and the Yuan family was the true mastermind behind the Spirit Devouring Locusts back then…"

Ye Jincheng didn't say much, but this mention alone sent Wei Dazhong into a panic.

"Senior Ye, how dare the Wei family! It's just that some members of the family were blinded by spirit stones and lost their minds!"

"Dazhong has come here precisely for the Wei family. We Wei family only have two Foundation Establishment cultivators left. We can't even defend our ancestral mountain, and the clansmen we send out are easily killed!"

"The upheaval in Qinghe Sect is over, but the rogue cultivators who entered Taihang County because of the chaos haven't left!" Wei Dazhong's expression was unsightly. This was why he had spent a great price to offer the Dragonscale Carp.

Moreover, the Wei family didn't actually have two Foundation Establishment cultivators, but one and a half. The remaining one had suffered severe injuries and could regress in cultivation at any time, or even die. He couldn't be considered a normal Foundation Establishment cultivator at all.

Furthermore, both of them were in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. It was only because the Wei family had concealed this well that they hadn't lost everyone on that spirit boat.

But even in the current situation, any rogue cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage could wipe out the Wei family.

As for whether the Taiyi School would care about the Wei family, it was basically impossible.

After all, although the Wei family hadn't actually conspired with the Yuan family, their intention to cooperate had already been revealed. If it hadn't been for them uncovering a lot of evidence against the Yuan family,

The Taiyi School would have destroyed the Wei family long ago.

"Cleaning up the rogue cultivators is no small matter. We need to wait for Taihang County to stabilize before the Ye family can organize it!" Ye Jincheng promised.

However, in Wei Dazhong's eyes, this promise was clearly a way of avoiding responsibility and stalling for time.

It was also hinting to him that the Dragonscale Carp could only achieve this much.

"Senior Ye, may I ask, where does the Wei family's path lie?" Wei Dazhong tentatively asked.

But Ye Jincheng didn't speak, which completely extinguished the last bit of hope in Wei Dazhong's heart.

Then, as if he had made a major decision,

He took out several land deeds and a formation plate.

"Senior Ye, the Wei family believes that it may not be able to defend the spiritual mountain given by the sect and is preparing to retreat to the area of Hill County and Changping County."

"As for the Four Counties of Leisure Cloud, where Idle Cloud Peak is located, Dazhong wants to rent it out, with the time set at one hundred years!"

Seeing this, Ye Jincheng finally showed some emotion.

"However, the best ancestral mountain in the Four Counties of Hill County and Changping is Long Cloud Peak. I hope Senior Ye can lend some spirit stones to help improve the spiritual veins, so that the Wei family can develop!" Wei Dazhong's courage was definitely commendable.

After considering for a while, Ye Jincheng finally nodded.

Although this lease was for one hundred years, as long as the Ye family's strength far exceeded the Wei family's, it could almost be renewed indefinitely.

Moreover, as long as it was a lease, the Ye family wouldn't be considered to be arbitrarily encroaching on the territory allocated by the sect.

In terms of morality and interests, the Ye family had the best option.

Most importantly, Ye Jincheng could arrange Idle Cloud Peak well, allowing Chu Yanqing to return to Idle Cloud Peak, which would be another betrothal gift from him.

Ye Jincheng and Chu Yanqing were becoming Dao partners, so naturally he had to support Chu Yanqing's cultivation.

Now that the other party was already in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, coupled with the newly obtained Purple Jade Fruit, he could refine Purple Mansion Jade Liquid to help Chu Yanqing break through.

It was just that Chu Yanqing's Inner Demon Tribulation might not be weak. Taking back Idle Cloud Peak would help weaken some of her mental block.

This would be more beneficial for her breakthrough.

After receiving Ye Jincheng's affirmation, Wei Dazhong was overjoyed and took his leave.

The current Taihang County truly depended on the Ye family's methods.

If True Person Xuan Dao hadn't appeared, Wei Dazhong would have hesitated.

But with True Person Xuan Dao and so many Supreme Elders from Illusion Peak appearing, he had no other choice.

Watching Wei Dazhong leave, a hint of joy appeared on the corner of Ye Jincheng's mouth.

However, he felt that this arrangement might have been made for him by Ye Jingyun.

After all, back then, it was Ye Jincheng who had Ye Jingyun implement the policy of driving out the Wei family and swallowing the Yuan family during the Yuan-Wei conflict.

But all he could say was that the Wei family deserved their fate!

Next, Ye Jincheng didn't go directly to his own small courtyard.

Instead, he headed towards the guest pavilions prepared by the Ye family.

The banquet was for everyone. If he really went straight to the bridal chamber, he would be showing a lack of understanding.

Could he really ask True Person Xuan Dao to stay until tomorrow to listen to his lectures?

Upon arriving at a four-story palace, Ye Jincheng sent a voice transmission.

Soon, a voice transmission talisman replied.

Ye Jincheng entered the palace and found True Person Xuan Dao already brewing spiritual tea, seemingly waiting for him for a while.

"Uncle-Master Xuan Dao!" Ye Jincheng cupped his hands in salute.

"Nephew-Master Ye, there's no need to be so polite. Senior Brother Tianfu was kind to me back then. It's just a pity that you were delayed and couldn't see your master's last moments in the Taichang Mountains!" True Person Xuan Dao sighed with emotion.

If Ye Jincheng hadn't heard the reminder from Supreme Elder Taihao, he would have really believed it.

"Uncle-Master, it is my fault that I disappointed both you and my master. Once this matter is over, this disciple will keep vigil for my master for seven days!" Ye Jincheng added.

Then, he took out a jade slip and a storage bag with both hands. Inside the jade slip was nothing other than the Ye family's policy of tribute to Illusion Peak!

Inside the storage bag were even more items that hadn't been handed over over the years due to the beast tide and great chaos.

Such as 20% of the Ye family's profits from Taichang Market, 20% of the Ye family's profits from Taihang Market, and the additional profits from the Buyu Mountain that the Ye family operated.

In order to gain even more support from Illusion Peak, Ye Jincheng even increased the profits by another 0.5%.

This 0.5% was added by Ye Jincheng after obtaining Idle Cloud Mountain.

"Well, you can discuss these with your Senior Brother Tianzhen. By the way, where did your Ye family obtain the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetles? There's an Uncle-Master in the sect who is a thunder-attribute cultivator and is interested in the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetles!" True Person Xuan Dao nodded and then spoke.

Upon hearing this, although Ye Jincheng was unwilling, he still actively took out a spirit beast pouch with a smile on his face.

It contained four Rank 2 Thunder Rhinoceros Beetles.

These four Thunder Rhinoceros Beetles were four of his sixteen.

They hadn't successfully advanced before, but because they had been with Ye Jincheng for a long time and had been well-fed,

They had only broken through to the early stage of Rank 2.

But giving them to the sect was just right!

When giving the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetles to Ye Jingyun, Ye Jincheng had known this possibility.

So he was also mentally prepared.

He just didn't expect True Person Xuan Dao to be so quick!

"Reporting to Uncle-Master, they were obtained in the secret realm. It's just a pity that the reproductive ability of these Thunder Rhinoceros Beetles is too poor!" Ye Jincheng shook his head and said.

He didn't dare to tell a lie, so he just spoke somewhat vaguely!

True Person Xuan Dao also nodded and gave Ye Jincheng a Rank 3 spiritual object in exchange.

Ye Jincheng also showed joy!

Soon, he took his leave from True Person Xuan Dao!

Ye Jincheng then went directly to his own small courtyard. Inside the small courtyard, Chu Yanqing was also walking out, stopping at the threshold, and had already lifted her veil herself.

She held up the hem of her skirt with both hands, revealing her red embroidered shoes.

Her already delicate face, under the rouge and blush, was even more beautiful today.

Ye Jincheng was somewhat stunned, but then he saw that Chu Yanqing's eyes were somewhat glistening, as if the wind was quite strong today and had gotten into her eyes.

"I seemed to see my father and them just now. They are also very satisfied with you!" Chu Yanqing said with a smile.

Today was her happy day, but there wasn't a single true relative of hers present. Even Chu Yanliu was not very close to her.

However, Ye Jincheng's arrangements today had given her enough emotion.

Actually, she should have been quietly waiting for him in front of the bed.

But she was afraid that, like in Zhao Country, she would not be waiting for her father, but for someone else.

So she didn't like waiting!
