Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

In the pitch-black miasma, the rolling mist instantly scattered.

Wind patterns spread out, followed by a transparent spirit bowl shining down.

A figure also appeared.

"It seems that not all Black Sand Ants can advance three times!"

This person was Ye Jingcheng. He searched for quite some time in the miasma before finally finding a small group of Black Sand Ants that could advance three times.

This was vastly different from when he entered, where he encountered many with three levels of spiritual light.

However, precisely because of this, it indicated that there were quite a few Black Sand Ants inside the Heavenly Poison Swamp, which naturally provided greater protection for the secret realm.

The Pill Desolation Secret Realm was located within the Heavenly Poison Swamp, definitely in the inner layer, though not quite at the very center.

The miasma was clearly denser in the innermost area.

Therefore, the chances of discovering the stone tablet were not as high.

Because normal Purple Mansion cultivators would definitely continue to venture deeper into the swamp.

Some spiritual insects and herbs in this location were only within the second-order range.

They were attractive to Foundation Establishment cultivators, but not to third-order Purple Mansion cultivators.

Ye Jingcheng took the Shadowless Bowl and observed the Black Sand Ants inside. This time, he only captured four.

This was for ease of advancement and breeding.

However, these Black Sand Ants were too small, even smaller than Ye Xingqun's Big-Headed Ants.

The mouthparts of the Black Sand Ants were extremely sharp, like those of mosquitoes, and their bodies were semi-conical, which made it easy for them to invade the bodies of cultivators.

One could also see a row of fine holes on the lower abdomen of the Black Sand Ants, which constantly released miasma.

However, within the Shadowless Bowl, the miasma was colorless.

But even colorless, it could still conceal the Black Sand Ants' figures within it.

It seemed that the black miasma spewed out in the swamp was just for adapting to the environment.

Ye Jingcheng was somewhat pleased to see this.

It seemed that these Black Sand Ants had value in cultivation; otherwise, if the miasma was also black in the outside world, the target would be too obvious and easy to restrain.

Unless there were hundreds of thousands of them, forming a cloud of insects, it would be terrifying.

But the energy consumed would be too great, and it would be somewhat not worth the effort to cultivate them.

Ye Jingcheng put away the Shadowless Bowl, and his aura began to rapidly decrease, eventually transforming into the appearance of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and then moved towards the periphery.

Along the way, Ye Jingcheng also collected the Five Poison Bees he had placed earlier, and while sensing information, he also collected some first and second-order poisonous spiritual herbs.

Although these spiritual herbs were poisonous, some were auxiliary herbs for some spiritual pills, and some could also be used to refine special insect powders.

Therefore, Ye Jingcheng did not let them go.

He even thought about collecting all these spiritual herbs, so that fewer people would come to the Heavenly Poison Swamp Secret Realm.

Three hours passed, Ye Jingcheng wandered around, finally left the Heavenly Poison Swamp, he came to the previous location, according to Ye Xuecang's instructions, he collected the previous few array flags.

After confirming that no one had discovered it, his figure headed towards the direction of the Xuanqing Bazaar.

Of course, this did not mean that he was going to the bazaar to exchange things, but that when he came, he had created the illusion of going to Chu, and now that he was going back, he naturally had to pass through Chu.

At the same time, if possible, he also wanted to find a restaurant to inquire about secret information.

However, this time, after thinking it over, he did not enter the Xuanqing Bazaar.

Instead, he directly crossed over and came to the Xiaoqiu Mountain Bazaar, which was a vast plain.

This Xiaoqiu Mountain Bazaar was much smaller than the Xuanqing Bazaar. It was said that it was opened by three or four Foundation Establishment family forces and a Purple Mansion rogue cultivator.

But the prosperity of this bazaar was not much worse than that of the Xuanqing Bazaar.

After all, it was close to Chu, and across a Qiu River, it reached the range of the Demon Subduing Valley of Chu.

In addition to the cultivators of Yan, there were also many evil cultivators who concealed their identities and came here to exchange for some spiritual herbs and treasures.

Although the Chu cultivation world was controlled by the Heavenly Corpse Sect, in fact, there were also many cultivators in the Chu cultivation world who did not practice corpse techniques, and some even practiced thunder techniques and fire techniques, specifically to restrain corpse refining cultivators.

In this way, the cultivators of the Demon Subduing Valley were more willing to come to the Xiaoqiu Mountain Bazaar.

… …

Inside a restaurant, Ye Jingcheng, wearing a Spirit Isolation Robe, sat down by the window.

He was carrying an ordinary standard-issue heavy sword on his back, just like a sword cultivator who practiced heavy swords.

As the heavy sword slapped on the mahogany table, a clattering sound rang out.

Ye Jingcheng's indifferent voice also rang out: "Waiter, a serving of fine spirit wine, a serving of spirit meal!"

Immediately, a Qi Refining third-level cultivator, half-bent over and with a flattering smile, trotted over.

"Senior, this wine includes second-order Green Willow Wine, and also first-order Azure Fall Wine…"

"Green Willow Wine, I don't lack spirit stones!" Ye Jingcheng directly interrupted the waiter's introduction.

The waiter was also overjoyed, after all, the better the restaurant's business, the more spirit stones he could get at the end of the year.

At the same time, he did not dare to delay, and quickly helped Ye Jingcheng to deliver the meal.

He even sped up the speed, and the spirit meal and spirit wine were served earlier than the several cultivators who came first.

After the latter brought it up, Ye Jingcheng also asked:

"Has anything happened recently? I've been in seclusion for more than ten years…" Ye Jingcheng asked.

"Senior, there are many major events…"

Clang!

Ye Jingcheng directly threw a bag, which contained as many as ten spirit stones.

"Just say the important points!" Ye Jingcheng really didn't have much time to listen at the moment, and since he was not appearing as a cultivator with the surname Jin this time, his style of doing things, behavior, and demeanor had to be different.

"Senior, there are currently two major events. One is that the Immortal Sect launched a full-scale attack on Mount Taichang, but the Purple Bright True Lord of Mount Taichang broke through to the True Lord realm and also held a Nascent Soul Grand Ceremony, and married the Spirit Rainbow Fairy of the Medicine King Valley of Zhao!"

"The second thing may be considered the Xuanqing Gang, which has been in the limelight recently. Because of a dispute in a small town, the Xuanqing Gang wiped out the Xun family. At this moment, they are recruiting troops and buying horses. If you join the gang, you can not only get cultivation resources, but you may even marry into the Xuanqing Three Families. At that time, it may be a chance for us rogue cultivators to turn over!" The waiter didn't have much feeling about the first thing, after all, he couldn't go to Taichang County, and he couldn't attack the Taiyi Sect.

No matter how grand it was, it was just hearsay.

But he was very touched by the second thing, the Xuanqing Gang.

The Xiaoqiu Mountain Bazaar was not far from the Xuanqing Bazaar, and Qi Refining cultivators could fly there in four or five days.

If the spirit boat was faster and didn't detour, there was a good chance to arrive in three or four days.

"Oh, the Xuanqing Gang can also kill the Xun family? If I remember correctly, the Purple Goose Xun family also has Purple Mansion cultivators!"

Hearing Ye Jingcheng say this, the waiter leaned in.

"Senior, you can't talk about this too much, but it is said to be related to the evil cultivators of Chu!" The waiter spoke vaguely, and after speaking, it seemed that his whole body and mind calmed down, and he repeatedly apologized and retreated.

Seeing this, although Ye Jingcheng did not inquire in detail, he probably guessed it.

The Xuanqing Gang did not investigate who was behind it, but they had to find a reason.

Ye Jingcheng destroyed Mount Luoyang and was also recorded on the spirit jade.

In fact, this matter could explain a lot.

The Xuanqing Gang only needed to say righteously how the Xun family had humiliated the Xuanqing Gang.

As for the death of the Xun family's Purple Mansion cultivator, it was of course on the evil cultivator.

Ye Jingcheng roughly sorted out the cause and effect, and at the same time, he was carefully thinking about whether the Ye family had any omissions.

After confirming that there were no problems, Ye Jingcheng picked up the Green Willow Wine and drank it.

Because Yanhuai County was close to the Qing River, there were many green willows, and this wine was also long and meaningful. Drinking it in the mouth, it was delicate and lingering, mellow and rich, with a sense of pleasure like a spring breeze sweeping across the river.

Ye Jingcheng enjoyed the rare peace, looking at the bustling crowd, and the noisy sounds in his ears.

The feeling of being in the downtown area and the heart being in the deep mountains made Ye Jingcheng feel an unprecedented emptiness in his heart.

With the help of the wine, Ye Jingcheng tasted the spirit meal again.

The spirit meal in this Xiaoqiu Mountain method was also particularly rare. It was a spirit fungus soup with three-color fish, and the taste was also very good.

Making Ye Jingcheng's relaxed body even more relaxed.

After eating the spirit meal, Ye Jingcheng went to the central hall and inquired about the Qinghe Sect's efforts to capture evil cultivators, and found that it had indeed risen to another level.

Then he left the bazaar with peace of mind and headed towards the Demon Subduing Valley.

… …

Taihangfang City, in the summer season, the dense bamboo forest casts more mottled shadows.

The bluestone path, lightly covered with moss, now had patches of yellow and green.

Ye Jingcheng walked on the stone slabs, and soon arrived at the Ye family's spirit beast shop.

Inside the shop, the Ye family's spirit beasts were noticeably depleted, obviously because the Ye family's auction had once again elevated the Ye family's prestige and reputation in the Taihang Bazaar.

Along with this, the business of various industrial chains had also become much more prosperous.

The Ye family's clansmen now had some fatigue in their eyes.

However, Ye Jingcheng was wearing a spirit-isolating robe and had changed his appearance, so they naturally couldn't recognize him.

Ye Jingcheng sent a voice transmission inside.

Pretending to be a cultivator commissioning alchemy, he quickly entered the room and exchanged identities with Chu Yanqing.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng enter, Chu Yanqing also directly reverted to her original appearance.

And set up the formation.

“Didn't we agree that it would only take a month?” Although Chu Yanqing didn't say anything else, Ye Jingcheng could still hear the concern in her words.

His heart couldn't help but warm.

“There was a slight delay, but it went relatively smoothly!” Ye Jingcheng nodded, then took out two star pear fruits.

“A gift for you!” Ye Jingcheng said with a smile.

The star pear fruit itself was adorned like stars, making it exceptionally beautiful, and because it was a fruit borne by a wood spirit, it also had a sweet fragrance.

As a gift, it was naturally excellent.

Moreover, the star pear fruit was a spiritual fruit that amplified the cultivation of water and wood cultivators, not much worse than some elixirs.

“The gift is good, but you still need to be careful in everything. The Jin family seems to be a little dissatisfied with this auction!” Chu Yanqing said.

She also explained the whole story.

The Jin family's main power was now in Taichang Prefecture, but there was still a Zifu branch family in Taihang Prefecture.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng didn't know if this Zifu branch family had a Zifu cultivator sitting in town.

But causing trouble for the Ye family at the auction meant that the Jin family's ancestor might have recovered from his injuries.

Now, the Taiyi Sect's Jindan affiliated families still included the Zhang family and the Jin family. The Kong family didn't manage to bid for the Ningjin Pill, so naturally they couldn't break through.

But now that the Taiyi Sect had a Yuanying cultivator, the Jin family definitely wouldn't dare to continue making trouble in Taichang Bazaar.

In this way, it would be logical for the Jin family to develop Taihang Prefecture.

“Don't worry, I brought back some good things this time!” Ye Jingcheng said with a smile.

Then he took out a spiritual fish with black sesame spots, the black sesame fish.

“There's actually black sesame fish in that secret realm!” Chu Yanqing was also a little surprised.

Black sesame fish didn't exist in Yan Country now, and with its deliciousness, it would definitely be a great weapon in spiritual cuisine.

“For now, we should maintain a good relationship with True Person Xuandao. Plus, in two years, after we send Ye Qingshuang to the sect, there will be two True Persons who are on good terms with the Ye family!” Ye Jingcheng said, and also began to cook spiritual cuisine for Chu Yanqing.

Ye Jingcheng was very happy that Chu Yanqing could worry about the Ye family's development.

This showed that Chu Yanqing had now completely adapted to her new identity.

As the black sesame fish was cooked over spiritual fire, the aroma of the fish immediately filled the air.

If it weren't for the spirit-isolating formation blocking it, this aroma could probably drift through half the bazaar.

“Jingcheng, let's send some of this fish to the Great Uncle!” Chu Yanqing was naturally happy at this moment.

“The Great Uncle's body is getting worse and worse!”

“Which room is the Great Uncle in?” Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng's heart also trembled.

Yes, he was already eighty years old.

“It's in the room behind. He doesn't let anyone go to see him now. He said he also wants to try to break through!” Chu Yanqing added.

Ye Jingcheng nodded when he heard this.

He took half of the fish meal, leaving the rest for Chu Yanqing.

Then he walked towards the courtyard behind.

Chu Yanqing put on the spirit-isolating robe and took half of the warm fish meal, heading outside. Although they had just met, Chu Yanqing had to return to Lingyun Peak in order to thoroughly implement the alibi.

The Ye family was currently enjoying great success, but this kind of success could easily hide crises.

One wrong step and they could fall into the abyss.

Chu Yanqing had been in the abyss once in the Chu family. This time, she had come out, and she would never allow the Ye family and Ye Jingcheng to fall into it as well.

… …

Walking in the courtyard behind, Ye Jingcheng also bumped into Ye Jingyong and Ye Jingfu, who were still waiting at the door, but their faces were full of worry.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng coming, the two immediately stepped forward:

“Patriarch, you've come at the right time. The Great Uncle's temper seems to be getting worse and worse, and now he wants to seclude himself…”

“I'll go take a look!” Ye Jingcheng also walked forward. The room inside was arranged with a formation, but Ye Jingcheng didn't sense any spiritual light inside the formation.

He then used his divine sense to break open the formation, and saw that there was only a fat cultivator in the courtyard.

Lying on a rattan chair.

His body was even larger, perhaps because of the Ye family's prosperity. Unlike others whose bodies became weak in their old age, Ye Xinghe was becoming increasingly obese.

If you looked at him head-on, you couldn't even see the rattan chair at this moment.

He was holding a jade scroll in his hand, seemingly still looking at the Ye family's financial statements.

“Great Uncle, I've brought you some fish soup!” Ye Jingcheng's voice rang out.

Ye Xinghe finally reacted, obviously hesitant even though Ye Jingcheng had indeed broken the formation.

His movements also began to slow down.

He raised his eyes, which were full of turbidity.

That former clarity had disappeared, and even the spiritual light on his body had dissipated cleanly at some point.

Ye Xinghe didn't reply, but Ye Jingcheng pushed the door open and walked in.

Borrowing the mottled light and shadows of midsummer at this moment, Ye Jingcheng felt even more grief in his heart.

He couldn't help but recall the first time he was brought into the bazaar by Ye Xinghe.

That fat Great Uncle, always with a smile.

At this moment, it was difficult for him to reconcile the figure in his mind with the figure in front of him.

“Great Uncle, I found some wine, hot!”

“I also cooked fish, warm!” Ye Jingcheng's words were very, very slow, and he helped Ye Xinghe up.

Looking at the very heavy body, Ye Jingcheng helped him up, but found it surprisingly light.

After a long time, Ye Xinghe finally spoke, and some clarity seemed to have returned to his eyes.

“Jingcheng, I want to be like Third Uncle and warn the clansmen by building a foundation…” Ye Xinghe didn't say it clearly enough, but the regret in his eyes already explained everything.

Ye Haiyi was a body cultivator, and as he approached the breakthrough, he could try to enter the foundation building breakthrough.

But Ye Xinghe wasn't. He had cultivated to the point where he was about to fall into the eighth level of Qi training, and he didn't even have the qualifications to try.

“Patriarch, inside this jade scroll are some of my ideas for the family's accounts and business. Not many, not right, but they should be able to be used as a reference!” With regret, Ye Xinghe also took out his jade scroll.

Many things were marked on the jade scroll, all of which were some of the Ye family's marketing strategies and the Ye family's dark arrangements in the bazaar.

As well as the advantages and disadvantages of price and quality.

It was marked extremely completely.

Obviously, after Ye Xinghe felt that the auction was going smoothly, he was in high spirits, thinking of breaking through to foundation building again, both to fulfill a lifelong wish and to add a bit of courage to the family.

It was just destined to be a disappointment, and he didn't even feel the breakthrough.

But after disappointment, Ye Xinghe still used his last time to study the jade scroll.

Doing his last seclusion in this life.

“Great Uncle, let's drink wine and celebrate the successful auction!” Ye Jingcheng poured two cups. The wine was Qingliu wine, with a gentle strength and plenty of spiritual energy.

Ye Xinghe also nodded. He took a sip, and Ye Jingcheng fed Ye Xinghe another bite of black sesame fish spiritual meal.

“Is this a second-order spiritual meal?” As Ye Xinghe ate, tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

And as soon as these words came out, Ye Jingcheng's heart trembled.

He suddenly remembered that Ye Xinghe might never have built a foundation in his entire life, nor had he tasted a second-order spiritual fish meal.

“Delicious, I'm a little luckier than your Third Grandfather and Fourth Grandfather!” Ye Xinghe smiled freely again.

The spiritual light on his body also finally dissipated.

“Respectfully sending off Great Uncle!” Ye Jingcheng also shouted repeatedly.

A bowl of spiritual wine was poured down by Ye Jingcheng from afar.

“Great Uncle, finish this bowl before you leave!” Ye Jingcheng said sadly.

And Ye Jingyong and Ye Jingfu also walked in, both with red eyes.

“Respectfully sending off Great Uncle!”
