The crimson flames made the Sky-Bull Azure-Red Furnace burn intensely red. The furnace trembled, as if the Sky-Bull was raising its head, and a buzzing sound emanated from it.

The fragrance of the elixir instantly reached its peak, accompanied by a glow of light filling the furnace.

Ye Jincheng also opened the furnace lid, revealing a large mass of Violet Mansion Jade Liquid inside.

Because it was the second time refining, and his alchemy skills had greatly improved, it went smoothly, and he produced two portions.

However, when he put it into jade bottles, Ye Jincheng was still somewhat disappointed.

His plan was to refine three portions, but the number of Violet Mansion Jade Liquid portions depended not only on alchemy skills but also on the materials.

His Violet Jade Fruit was not of the best quality.

In addition, there were still some flaws during the alchemy process, resulting in only two portions.

However, in Ye Jincheng's opinion, two portions were enough for now, as he didn't need to consider the Violet Mansion Jade Liquid for Hidden Island, and only Chu Yanqing from Lingyun Peak currently had a chance.

After refining the Violet Mansion Jade Liquid, Ye Jincheng wiped the pill furnace, summarized the alchemy process, and then looked at the peach wood tree demon in the distance.

He saw that at this moment, all the leaves of the latter had disappeared, the peach resin on the peach wood had become very little, and most of the wood grain had become sparkling and crystalline.

Clearly, it was in the midst of a breakthrough, which made Ye Jincheng happy.

Although the method of cultivating the wood core was not very fast, it was at least effective.

Looking at the radiant peach wood spirit tree, Ye Jincheng finally had anticipation.

If the peach wood needed decades or even hundreds of years to advance to the third rank in the past, then now it might be able to shorten the time by several times.

With the peach wood in seclusion, the Stone Spirit seemed a bit bored at the moment, as if it didn't know what to do. Seeing Ye Jincheng looking over, it somewhat fearfully lowered a piece of spiritual light, and then began to quietly contemplate the star map again.

Ye Jincheng nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this.

Then, he walked down the mountain and arrived at the ordinary Thunder Rhinoceros Insect chamber.

Currently, his two insect chambers, one on the mountain peak, housed four Hidden-Winged Thunder Rhinoceros Insects.

The other was at the bottom of the mountain, and this insect chamber was the largest, covering an area of about an acre, with many Thunder Wood trees being harmed by these Thunder Rhinoceros Insects.

Inside the insect chamber, Ye Jincheng saw that the insect generals and a small number of Thunder Rhinoceros Insects he had selected had successfully advanced and broken through to the second rank, roaring ferociously in the insect chamber.

They were even attacking each other.

More than two years had passed, and from the one second-rank Thunder Rhinoceros Insect in the past, it had now become more than thirty second-rank Thunder Rhinoceros Insects.

This speed would become faster and faster in the coming time.

He was not far from creating the Sky God Drum Insect Formation.

Ye Jincheng contentedly placed a lot of spiritual pills for these spiritual insects to consume, and then left the cave.

He saw that the spiritual energy of the entire Lingyun Peak was much higher than before.

A layer of shallow, misty spiritual fog had formed above Lingyun Lake, and many spiritual fish leaped high out of the lake, then heavily crashed back into the water, just to swallow some spiritual fog.

Moreover, there was a shallow layer of spiritual net on the surface of the lake.

Whenever a spiritual fish leaped upward, it would be pressed down by the spiritual net.

This spiritual net was obviously specially made, which could not only train the spiritual fish but also allow the more talented spiritual fish to obtain more spiritual energy.

Thus, it could also sell for a better price.

It could also be regarded as survival of the fittest, improving the breed of spiritual fish.

After Ye Jincheng watched for a while, he happily turned his head. On the other side of the spiritual lake, many Azure Jade Lotuses were planted.

This Azure Jade Lotus belonged to the second-rank spiritual plants, which Ye Jincheng brought out from the Zhenhuang Secret Realm.

At this moment, it was all green and growing lushly!

At this moment, Ye Jincheng suddenly felt that after changing his cultivation method, whether it was an illusion or something, he found that everything looked much more pleasing to the eye.

The mountains were more majestic, the water was more meandering, and the clouds were lighter.

That kind of artistic conception was not only because of the spiritual veins. Ye Jincheng felt that it should be more related to his own five spiritual roots.

However, regarding the matter of spiritual roots, even those Transformation God Sovereigns might not be able to understand it thoroughly. After Ye Jincheng thought for a while, he stopped thinking about it.

His divine sense began to expand towards the entire Lingyun Peak.

He found that there were some more cultivators on the entire Lingyun Peak. It turned out that in the past two and a half years, some more clansmen had come up the mountain.

Ye Jincheng checked the family token and didn't see anything particularly important, so he went directly back to his courtyard.

Chu Yanqing was currently in seclusion, but it was not the kind of closed-door seclusion, but the kind of daily cultivation. Ye Jincheng simply waited in the courtyard.

Moreover, he found that the spiritual apricots in the courtyard had already been covered with spiritual apricots again, he didn't know when.

This time, there were even more, and they were even heavier, bending many branches.

Ye Jincheng looked at the slightly yellowing apricot fruits and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

He thought in his heart that the spiritual fruits sent by his fourth grandfather were becoming more and more numerous.

He also sat down at the stone table, took out a pot of spiritual tea, and began to wait quietly.

As the sun and moon turned, the apricot fruits became larger and larger, and the spiritual fragrance became more and more overflowing.

On this day, the sunlight was dazzling, and the spiritual apricots became somewhat yellowish.

The courtyard door finally opened, and Chu Yanqing walked out from inside. The latter was already at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Moreover, her aura was extremely surging and excited, and her whole body was glowing with spiritual light, as if some spiritual energy was already transforming towards true essence.

This was clearly a sign of breaking through to the Violet Mansion stage.

"Brother Cheng, why didn't you send a voice transmission?" Chu Yanqing looked at Ye Jincheng waiting there, and sat down generously next to Ye Jincheng.

Today, she didn't wear the blue dress she usually wore for cultivation, but instead wore a cultivation robe that belonged exclusively to the Ye family.

At this moment, she looked even more heroic.

Coupled with her exquisite facial features, Ye Jincheng had to admit that she was indeed good-looking, and everything looked good on her.

"Waiting for you to pick spiritual apricots!" Ye Jincheng pointed to the apricot tree above his head.

But Chu Yanqing just smiled when she heard this, and took out two baskets from her storage bag.

Each basket contained seventy or eighty spiritual apricots, which were exactly the spiritual apricots from the previous two years.

"I've also been waiting for two years, but ah, someone is surprisingly hard to wait for!" Chu Yanqing chuckled secretly, which made Ye Jincheng smile too.

"Then I'll wait next year!"

"Wait the year after next, and continue to wait the year after that."

After saying this, the two suddenly laughed together.

Simple words, but at this moment, they seemed particularly warm.

Cultivators have long lifespans, but precisely because they are long, sometimes they are numb to everything.

Being able to have a confidante and pick spiritual apricots together every year is also something worth remembering.

"The spiritual apricots are just right." After Ye Jincheng looked at them, he took Chu Yanqing to pick them.

In the end, a full ninety-nine spiritual apricots fell in front of the basket, which made the two of them happy again.

Chu Yanqing picked one, condensed water magic, and washed the spiritual apricot. She put the spiritual apricot into Ye Jincheng's mouth.

"Fourth Grandfather doesn't want to just see you picking, but also to see you eating," Chu Yanqing said with a smile.

Ye Jincheng also nodded, took a bite, and it was indeed incomparably sweet and full of spiritual fragrance.

Moreover, there was a different kind of taste in his heart. Ye Jincheng didn't speak, but also took a spiritual apricot from the basket, washed it with water magic, and returned a spiritual apricot.

The two touched the spiritual apricots in their hands and ate them together.

Moreover, from this moment on, the distance between the two became much closer.

Cultivators are mostly cold and unfeeling, not because they are unwilling, but because they are worried, because time is too ruthless.

Fortunately, the two of them were not low in talent. Chu Yanqing was a spiritual body, and Ye Jincheng didn't need to say much about himself. A mid-stage Violet Mansion cultivator in his early seventies was a rare existence even in the Taiyi Sect.

"Break through well, waiting for you to pick spiritual apricots." Ye Jincheng took out the jade bottle containing the Violet Mansion Jade Liquid.

Seeing this scene, Chu Yanqing couldn't help but feel a little moved, but also a little worried. She wanted to say something.

But Ye Jincheng directly interrupted:

"Still waiting for you to refine magic weapons for me, don't say any words of refusal!" Ye Jincheng said.

Only then did Chu Yanqing nod, and she put away the jade bottle.

Then, she entered the courtyard.

Ye Jincheng checked the formation again, and placed a spirit gathering formation in the room. Seeing the abundant spiritual energy coming from the spiritual veins, he nodded and left the courtyard. He walked towards the family council hall.

The person mainly responsible for family affairs now was Ye Jinghu, and then Ye Xingqun and Ye Xingshui assisted.

Arriving at the council hall, everyone also shouted repeatedly.

Several people were just discussing matters.

"Patriarch!" Ye Jinghu was the first to speak. His eyebrows now lacked some eagerness and had more calmness.

The two years of acting as an agent had obviously achieved good results.

"Patriarch, the Thunder Roc has hatched and is now equivalent to the eighth level of Qi training!" Ye Jinghu's Thunder Roc was a gift from Ye Jingcheng. Originally, he was supposed to go to Hidden Valley to reflect on his mistakes, but these years, due to Ye Jingcheng's closed-door cultivation and Ye Xingyi's passing, it was naturally postponed.

"Good, keep up the good work!" Ye Jingcheng nodded, not surprised by the Thunder Roc's performance.

After all, this Thunder Roc was a gift from him.

Subsequently, he took out some advancement pills. The Thunder Roc's was a modified spirit pill from the Thunder Rhinoceros Pill, Ye Xingshui's was a second-order gold-grade pill modified from the Golden Falcon Advancement Pill, and for Ye Xingqun, because his spirit beast was the Red Moon Python, it was even simpler, the Jade Kirin Flood Dragon's second-order advancement pill would suffice.

In addition to these spirit pills, Ye Jingcheng also gave a lot of advancement pills to the others.

Although these advancement pills were modified and might not be suitable, the Ye family has always had the habit of testing with pill dregs to ensure there would be no problems before feeding the advancement pills and pulse-protecting pills.

Of course, even so, there would still be the risk of spirit beasts dying.

However, this risk was minimized.

And the Ye family members, besides trusting Ye Jingcheng, also wanted to gamble on their future.

"Uncle Xingqun, Uncle Xingshui, thank you for your hard work these past few years!"

"Patriarch, there's no need to mention such trivial matters. However, in recent years, the family has been spied on, it seems we've been targeted, but the strength of those targeting the family doesn't seem to be very strong!" Ye Xingqun suddenly said.

He also took out a jade slip, which used the vision of the Black Wood Ants, obviously using a secret method to transmit images back from the Black Wood Ants.

A cultivator wearing a spirit-isolating robe was seen staring at this place.

The other party was also holding a blood bottle in his hand.

"What actions and how much strength?" Ye Jingcheng asked.

"No actions, there are three people, they come to investigate every half month, and they rotate among the three, but they don't get close to Lingyun Peak within a hundred miles. Each time they hold this blood bottle, it seems to be some kind of secret method," Ye Xingqun said.

"I had previously reported to the family, but the family's response was, wait!" Ye Xingqun said.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng was also stunned.

Ye Xingqun reporting to the family meant reporting to Hidden Peak and Hidden Island.

Most likely it was Ye Haicheng over there.

But Ye Haicheng told the family cultivators to wait and not take action, which made Ye Jingcheng feel a bit intriguing.

Moreover, the family didn't send him a voice transmission.

Instead, they told him to continue breaking through.

"Patriarch, it's possible that someone from Yan Returns County is here!" Ye Xingqun added.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng finally nodded.

Not killing these three people, it seems, was to avoid alarming the snake.

Moreover, these three people didn't attack the Ye family members, so it was very likely they were after Chu Yanqing.

Ye Jingcheng understood immediately that these people were after the key to the third-order secret realm.

"In addition, Ancestor Ziming's wedding is in two and a half years and will soon begin. At that time, there will be a fifth-order auction, and it is said that more than a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators will come!" This time it was Ye Xingshui who spoke.

Normally, at an auction, Foundation Establishment cultivators would already be considered powerful figures.

But at this kind of auction, Foundation Establishment cultivators might only be able to enter the venue.

Nascent Soul cultivators would come, not to mention Golden Core cultivators, and the number of Purple Mansion cultivators would be obvious.

Ye Jingcheng also didn't plan to miss this auction.

Maybe he could gather all of his third-order stone and wood squares.

Even if he couldn't gather them, it would be good to find some treasures that could improve his cultivation.

Besides family crises and the like, Ye Jingcheng also inquired about the family's situation and the Hidden Valley's situation.

Among them, Beast Valley had expanded its breeding scale three times to supply the restaurants in Taichang Market, because the new model made the restaurants too popular.

The Ye family's positioning was also fine, and Taixing Market had also recovered in recent years.

Expanding the scale was a natural thing.

As for Insect Valley, the newly produced Spirit-Extinguishing Locusts could already show more golden light, which was also a happy event.

After all, once the golden light Spirit-Extinguishing Eggs could be stably produced, it would be very possible to cultivate Spirit-Extinguishing Locusts with full gold like that Insect Cultivator back then.

However, for these Spirit-Extinguishing Locusts, Ye Jingcheng had Thunder Rhinoceros Insects, so his attention would naturally not be too great.

Ye Jingcheng then learned about the revenue of the restaurants in Taichang Market.

After learning that the annual revenue was more than 10,000 spirit stones, which had exceeded the revenue from elixirs, he couldn't help but nod in praise.

Adding the revenue from the Pill Pavilion, the Ye family's annual net revenue from that market was 20,000 spirit stones, equivalent to earning a Foundation Establishment Pill every year, which was definitely not a small amount.

Even the revenue of those old Purple Mansion families in Taichang Market would not be much more than the Ye family's shops.

But it should be known that the Ye family's shops were not large, and the manpower required was not too much.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Ye Jingcheng returned to Lingyun Lake again and began to cultivate in seclusion again.

This time, he planned to only come out of seclusion before the Ziming True Lord's wedding.

The goal was to completely restore his cultivation, and also, it would be best to cultivate the Fire Spirit Secret Technique well.

......

Time flies like water, and another two years have passed. This year, Ye Jingcheng is also seventy-seven years old.

Above the high platform, as the spiritual light all over Ye Jingcheng's body turned into ripples and spread out, he opened his eyes, only to see that there was still fire blooming in them.

Ye Jingcheng also got up and dusted off the dust on his body.

Looking at his aura again, although it had not reached the peak of the middle stage of the Purple Mansion, it was not far off.

It was enough to see his progress over the years.

However, soon, he also sighed, now it was a bit higher than before he dispersed his cultivation, but the speed would slow down next.

After all, he had taken a lot of spirit pills these years.

Some of these spirit pills were refined by himself, and some were brought by Ye Xuefan before.

And just at this moment, he pinched a technique in his hand again, this time, the sea of fire burned the sky.

In the flames, there was also a Vermilion Bird spirit shadow flying in the front.

It slammed into the void, burning the void until it began to change color.

It seemed that the barriers of the cave heaven were about to break.

"Finally, I've made it to the entry level!" Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but mutter. These years, he had not only been cultivating in seclusion, but also practicing secret techniques, and only now had he cultivated the Fire Spirit Secret Technique, Vermilion Bird Burning the Sky, to the entry level.

But to practice it to proficiency, a lot of time was still needed.

And Ye Jingcheng at this moment also looked at the large insect room at the bottom of his mountain.

The aura inside was extremely large and numerous. His divine sense swept over it and found that there were as many as one hundred and twenty second-order Thunder Rhinoceros Insects. Of course, there were also more than thirty with extremely weak auras, obviously because his elixirs and spirit beast meat preparations were too few.

Some of these Thunder Rhinoceros Insects did not have enough spiritual energy.

At the same time, there were still more than fifty Thunder Rhinoceros Insects that were still staying at the first order.

And for these Thunder Rhinoceros Insects that failed to break through, Ye Jingcheng would not spend too much effort to cultivate them. Spirit insect cultivation itself was about winning with quantity.

He had already spent a lot, and there was no point in paying attention to those that had not broken through.

It would be better to use these as cannon fodder, or even reward them to other family members.

After all, one hundred and twenty were already strong enough.

Following Ye Jingcheng's instructions, all of these palm-sized Thunder Rhinoceros Insects flew into the sky and formed one array after another under the leadership of the Insect King.

As Ye Jingcheng waved his hand and gave the order, all the Thunder Rhinoceros Insects' thunder horns began to agitate.

In the next moment, as dazzling thunder light shot out, turning into a huge divine drum and divine thunder, it smashed towards Ye Jingcheng.

The divine drum transformed by this divine thunder was naturally the Insect Array combined attack method transformed by the Sky-Opening Divine Drum. At this moment, it also transmitted a heart-shaking thunder sound, which actually made Ye Jingcheng's mind sway and even slowed down the operation of his true essence by a few points.

The spirit shadow transformed by the thunder drum also smashed into the Shadowless Bowl released by Ye Jingcheng.

The inside of the bowl was instantly covered by thunder light, and the entire spirit bowl began to appear with array patterns, as if it could not absorb it all.

And Ye Jingcheng finally nodded, this insect array was only a prototype. When he became proficient and the Thunder Rhinoceros Insects all improved their cultivation a little more, the power would definitely be greater!

"Come here!" Ye Jingcheng waved his hand, letting all the Thunder Rhinoceros Insects fly to him. Ye Jingcheng also took out a large amount of spirit beast meat.

Letting these Thunder Rhinoceros Insects devour it, he gave out treasure light while they devoured, so that these Thunder Rhinoceros Insects could stabilize their spiritual breath.

Those that had already broken through could now be considered Ye Jingcheng's treasure insects.

And he had already seen the power of this insect array, and now he was somewhat looking forward to the family's message.

Since Ye Haicheng had gone to Yan Returns County, Ye Jingcheng naturally believed that the other party could handle the affairs of the third-order Pill Desolation Secret Realm.

And in the secret realm, maybe his insect array could shine!
