At Celestial Shadow Peak, Chu Yanqing sat under the apricot tree in front of the cave dwelling, watching Ye Jingcheng diligently preparing the Spirit Fish cuisine in the distance, occasionally glancing over with a smile.
Her eyes were instantly filled with warmth.
She turned to look at the apricot tree and, in a voice that Ye Jingcheng couldn’t hear, murmured softly in gratitude.
"Thank you, Great Grandfather..."
In her view, gratitude was naturally owed to Ye Haiyun. After all, it was the Spirit Almond that helped in forming their bond, and it was also because of the Spirit Almond that she smoothly ca out of the Purple Mansion Heart Demon Tribulation.
Moreover, this Spirit Almond had witnessed their romance.
Each year, its spirit becos increasingly abundant, even though she knew this was the result of the Spirit Vein steadily advancing, she still believed that Ye Haiyun was watching over them.
"Have so Star-Feeding Fish and Black Mushroom Fish dual fish cuisine!" Ye Jingcheng placed the Spirit Fish cuisine down, carefully serving Chu Yanqing. When Chu Yanqing turned around, the bowl was already full.
This made Chu Yanqing pout, clearly finding it a bit unusual.
"This is too much..."
Yet Ye Jingcheng saw from Chu Yanqing’s involuntarily narrowed eyes, a deep delight.
At tis, what’s unfamiliar doesn’t necessarily an dislike.
Alternatively, it might be sothing long anticipated.
"This ti we’ll pick Spirit Almonds together; I heard the spirit fruit in the desert is sweeter!" Ye Jingcheng laughed, gently touching Chu Yanqing’s head, pointing to the apricot tree adorned with a full circle of white blossomings.
Chu Yanqing nodded, then praised the spirit cuisine.
The two sat on Celestial Shadow Peak, overlooking the outline of the Celestial Phoenix Oasis and the silhouettes of desert on the horizon.
Celestial Phoenix Oasis was vast, with nurous peaks, and many counties inhabited by mortals.
Moreover, Ye Family’s Beast Valley had now begun to take form, with Spirit Beasts occasionally flying into the sky, roaming the air, or galloping through the desert.
Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional at this mont.
He suddenly realized that previously, when he was so quiet, disregarding cultivation, just watching the scenery, it had been a long while.
The family’s step-by-step advance, being targeted by Zhang Jia, and the joint pressure from Taiyi Sect and Qinghe Sect had actually weighed on his mind for quite so ti.
"Brother Cheng, if Yan Kingdom is untenable, we can retreat completely. We have a teleportation array, there will be no problems!" Chu Yanqing, seeing Ye Jingcheng sowhat stunned at this mont, also thought of the words in the assembly hall.
She also recalled Chu Family, which, due to its increasingly inflated ambitions, had been hard by the joint actions of Taiyi Sect and Jin Family.
Coupled with Ye Family still having Cyan Cloud Nunnery, in her view, it might be better to give up so things.
"Yes, I’m clear!" Ye Jingcheng smiled faintly, nodding.
Of course, he was still concerned about Lingyun Peak and several markets, as well as the Black Mushroom Fish caravan.
Taiyi Sect was giving Ye Family no chance to retreat intact; he could only hope the Earth Dragon Demon King would quickly breakthrough to Nascent Soul, then even in the Eastern Domain, Ye Family wouldn’t be a re fish to be slaughtered.
As for Cyan Cloud Nunnery, although Purple Mansion Jade Liquid had been sent, Ye Family naturally would avoid using it if possible.
Ye Jingcheng continued serving Chu Yanqing. Once they finished the spirit cuisine, they then sat together, sipping spirit tea, watching the sunset descend and the moon rise.
The crimson sun of the Desert Sea was exceedingly round, its blood-red echoes floating across the sky, while the moon was even more resplendent.
The two nestled closer.
The rise in the east and fall in the west is indeed a kind of natural romance.
...
Inside the grotto heaven, after accompanying Chu Yanqing for a few days, Ye Jingcheng returned here.
After all, if he continued to accompany her, Ye Jingcheng would find it unusual, and Chu Yanqing too wasn’t accustod to it; compared to mortals, cultivators are physically much better.
Even when pregnant, martial practice is still feasible; the likelihood of encountering issues is not high.
Upon entering the grotto heaven, he saw the Stone Spirit running over grumblingly, pointing at the Malachite Stone Spirit.
"Master, it’s so dumb, it’s even worse than the Jade Ring Rat!" Stone Spirit spoke in an agitated tone.
This left Ye Jingcheng montarily stunned.
The Peach Wood Demon chuckled, watching the scene unfold.
"It’s normal; back then you were even dumber. You need to be a bit more patient; the Peach Wood Demon wasn’t like you!" Ye Jingcheng spoke repeatedly.
The Malachite Stone Spirit can advance five tis, which is related to his own cultivation of the Barbaric Dominator Body Secret Manual, a subject he remains quite focused on.
"Was I really that dumb?" Hearing this, Stone Spirit was a bit dumbfounded.
"Master, how about I teach it? I guarantee I’ll teach the Stone Spirit to wholeheartedly serve master and produce Gold Water..." At this mont, Peach Wood also chid in.
"Ahem, let Stone Spirit give it a chance. Peach Wood, focus on producing peaches; also, in terms of Wood Heart, feel free to absorb more!" Ye Jingcheng hastily forestalled, noting Peach Wood’s increasingly exaggerated speech.
Having the Wood Demon and Stone Spirit off to attend to their tasks, Ye Jingcheng then glanced at the distant Red Fla Fox.
At the mont, due to Soul Injection, the Red Fla Fox had also gained substantial rewards, and upon seeing Ye Jingcheng’s arrival, it let out a high-pitched cry. The furnace-like spirit shadow in its brow constantly rotated with the five-colored spirit fire of cyan, purple, gold, yellow, and red.
Although it didn’t speak, Ye Jingcheng already understood that Red Fla Fox was informing him that its spirit fire conversion had significantly improved.
In the future, when casting Cyan Yang Fla using Purple Fire Heart Fla, it wouldn’t hurt its eyes as before.
Its alchemy prowess would also vastly increase.
"I know you can!" Ye Jingcheng nodded at the Red Fla Fox’s head, then walked over to begin his alchemy.
This ti, Ye Haicheng and Ye Xueliang had both provided him with so spirit dicine.
Now, he finally assembled the Tier Three Star Pear Wood Advancent Pill, and as the Star Pear Wood itself had also reached Tier Two Peak, after ingesting it, breaking through to Tier Three wouldn’t pose any concern.
Ye Jingcheng was quite expectant, wondering if the advanced Tier Three Star Pear Fruit could make the Star Illusion Eye progress further.
Besides gathering the Tier Three Dream-Devouring Pill materials, only the Essence Blood from a corresponding attribute Tier Three Spirit Insect was missing.
In the Tier Four Advancent Pill, the Golden Scale Pill from the Golden Scale Beast had gathered two main materials and several auxiliary materials, missing one main material and the Essence Blood of a Tier Four Qilin Bloodline Demon King.
For the Crimson Fla Fox’s Tier Four Advancent Pill, one main material was gathered, while several auxiliary materials were abundant; in Desert Sea, apart from Earth Attribute Spirit dicines, there were mostly Fire Attribute Spirit dicines.
The least available were Water Attribute Spirit Materials, so even though the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon was most suitable for advancent, Ye Jingcheng had no way to proceed.
Ye Jingcheng could only wait for the Beast Tide to end, for the Ye Family to establish a presence in the Sea Domain with a new identity.
Go to the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea to see if he can find advancent materials for the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon.
As for the Five-Colored Cloud Deer and Golden Falcon, Ye Jingcheng didn’t plan on gathering Advancent Pills for them, as both beasts were still on the path to Tier Three Peak.
It’s still so distance from Tier Four.
Currently, Ye Jingcheng, being a Tier Four Alchemist, found refining Star Pear Wood Blocks to be especially smooth.
In less than two days, he already had two pieces in hand.
The Star Pear Wood Demon turned into a Spirit Child was noticeably sowhat lancholic during this ti since all other Star Pear Woods had been transplanted to the Celestial Shadow Peak, tended by Ye Jingyu and Ye Xinghan.
Being the only one left in the Grotto Heaven, it would often remain beside the at Ganoderma Wood Demon, always holding onto the large figure ford by the at Ganoderma Wood Demon.
The at Ganoderma Wood Demon was noticeably lacking in spiritual sense, hence being constantly chided by the Star Pear Wood Demon.
But upon seeing the Advancent Spirit Liquid just now, it instinctively approached Ye Jingcheng, curious eyes constantly examining.
Due to the Star Pear Wood, its ford Spirit Shadow had starry eyes that were exceptionally beautiful, like a dazzling star.
After watching for a while, it called out to its master.
"Master, what is this..."
"It’s for you, work hard in your cultivation. Your other six elder Star Pear Woods are expecting the day you breakthrough to beco a Demon King!" Ye Jingcheng said as he looked at the Starry Eyes of the Star Pear Wood Demon.
"Thank you, Master!" The Star Pear Wood Demon quickly took it and dashed back to its main body. Now its main body was not small, more than two ters tall, sowhat smaller compared to other Star Pear Wood Demons, but it wasn’t old, hence had greater potential.
It quickly ingested it with the speed and ease of a child, and after swallowing, indeed, starlight began to circulate, its aura started to change.
Ye Jingcheng estimated that once the Star Pear Wood advanced successfully, it would probably beco a Tier Three Wood Demon.
Feeling satisfied, Ye Jingcheng began refining Purple Mansion Jade Liquid again.
The Ye Family currently has holders of the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, including Ye Jing Hu, Ye Haiyu, Ye Haiyan, Ye Xueliang, and Ye Xingsu.
Moreover, Ye Xingyu was breaking through to Foundation Establishnt Peak, and Ye Jingfeng and Ye Jingli in Late Stage Foundation Establishnt, all hopeful to breakthrough.
Ye Jingcheng hastily refined two servings from three Purple Jade Fruits, leaving one, yielding six servings of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid from those two, naturally slightly inferior to the first fruit refinent, but one serving contained strong Spirit Fragrance, of notably high quality.
As for the last Purple Jade Fruit, Ye Jingcheng decided to save it for when his alchemy skills advanced further—not expecting eight or nine servings, five or six servings would be quite excellent.
After finishing the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid refinent, Ye Jingcheng began refining Tier Four Spirit Pills.
With the abundance of Spirit dicines acquired, he could refine so Tier Four Spirit Pills now.
Firstly to aid his cultivation, and secondly for the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon and Crimson Fla Fox’s cultivation.
The Ye Family had previously acquired several Demon King’s Inner Cores, which could be refined now.
As for saving them for breaking through Fake Pill Cultivators, that stage was still distant for the Ye Family.
...
Within Desert Sea, stifling yellow sand swirled up hundreds of ters high.
A few figures had no choice but to stay outside the yellow sand.
Among them, leading was Ye Haisheng, whose Sword Embryo now subtly revealed a hint of blood-red hue.
The constant pursuit in the Desert Sea etched more ruggedness and indifference on his features, smoothing the sharpness and angles before Hidden Peak.
Upon seeing the sandstorm, his countenance grew extrely grim.
"Those Jia Family Cultivators are indeed cunning!" They had been pursuing the Zhang Family Cultivators, who quickly fell, and searched two Mini Worlds, which were rely commandery-sized, albeit lacking Spiritual Energy.
re mortals resided therein scarcely.
Not long ago, they inadvertently discovered a Jia Family Tier Two Secret Realm, besieging it led to several individuals escaping.
The fleeing individuals each carried five or six Storage Bags, evidently wealthy. Owing contribution points, Ye Haisheng couldn’t let this slip, but to his dismay, their escape speed was remarkable, now having entered the sandstorm ahead.
"Uncle Haisheng, this is one of the Desert Sea’s forbidden zones, the Forbidden Land of Fallen Souls. Allegedly, many cultivators who entered were never seen again!" Ye Qingfeng chid in from the side.
Among the Qing Generation Foundation Establishnt cultivators, Ye Qingyan excelled in alchemy, Ye Qingwen excelled in body cultivation, and Ye Qingfeng was more broadly skilled.
Having spent ti in the Desert Sea, he’d already learned about so of its forbidden zones, one being in front of them.
"It’s said there might even be a Demon King inside!" Ye Qingfeng added.
Yet now, departing was naturally not an option.
The treasures of that Secret Realm were likely taken by the Jia Family Cultivators ahead.
"Let’s wait, I don’t believe they won’t co out!" Ye Haisheng remained stubborn.
While unwilling to gamble riskily, he was inclined to wait for a while.
"Wait here; my Sword Embryo is just a mont away from completing the last Blood Technique for minor achievent. I must kill him!" Ye Haisheng emphasized.
His Sword Embryo, unlike Ye Xuecang’s, followed the Path of Killing, Blood Killing Sword Embryo—most elusive among Water Attribute Swordsmanship, rumored to slit throats upon reaching Great Success.
Although supplenting the Sword Embryo, he still unsheathed thirty-six Magic Swords, arranging a Sword Array, ensuring even if the Jia Family Cultivator escaped early, Ye Qingfeng could manage.
