Inside the room, the cool Moonlight Stone gently emitted a soft radiance.
The Spirit Tea on the stone table had already cooled, and even the sandalwood in the incense burner had burned out.
Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xingliu exchanged smiles and both let out a long sigh of relief.
After several hours, they finally organized all the treasures and moved them from the Stone Spirit Grotto Heaven to the Turtle Ancestor’s Grotto Heaven.
In terms of Spirit Beasts, Ye Jingcheng kept only the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect and Golden Falcon. Although the Star-Feeding Fish is also a good Spirit Beast, his Stone Spirit Grotto Heaven has not yet developed a Spirit Lake, making it unsuitable for nurturing.
He also wanted to keep the Spiritual Eye Spring to nourish the Purple Jade Vine.
And the dicine garden he developed.
After all, the Spiritual Eye Spring lost so of its essence after being migrated, and such a spiritual spring must not be overused, as it would easily lead to depletion.
Ye Jingcheng naturally wouldn’t commit such a foolish act of killing the goose to get the golden eggs.
If it can recover in the future, he might consider creating a Spirit Lake, since he has many Spirit Beasts, and although these Spirit Beasts can consu Elixirs, to maintain their fierceness, consuming Spirit Beast at is essential.
And nurturing Spirit Fish is the most convenient; for instance, the Spirit Lake on Ye Family’s Lingyun Peak is a source of fodder for many high-tier spirit beasts of the Ye Family.
Regarding Spirit dicines, Ye Jingcheng kept only the spirit dicines for a few Pill Formulas and so common Tier Two Spirit Pill dicines.
He stored the rest, whether a few hundred or a few thousand years old, inside the space.
To have the Turtle Ancestor take them away.
Even for Magical Artifacts, those not in use were placed inside.
Since Ye Xingliu had already yielded seventy percent to him, holding onto many spirit dicines would be useless, and if there are new pill formulas in the future, the spirit dicines would surely pass through his hands.
According to his rough estimation, his Contribution Points this ti might reach several hundred thousand, which is still a conservative estimate, since they returned with a Gold Condensing Fruit and a Gold Condensing Fruit Tree, plus the Five Elents Celestial Secret Technique, the Purple Sun Demon Corpse’s Corpse Bead, and the refining thod of the Purple Sun Demon Corpse.
Any one of these treasures taken out is invaluable.
Frankly, sotis he even felt like keeping them for himself.
However, for the family, Ye Jingcheng’s heart was mostly filled with gratitude.
Moreover, he knew that the Ye Family had expended quite a lot this ti, such as his Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact Palm Shield, Soul Nourishing Pendant, Talisman Treasure Profound Cold Seal, Tier Three Thunder Tribulation Bead, and Tier Two Thunder Bead.
These would be considered bottom-of-the-box ans in any ordinary Purple Mansion Clan.
The Ye Family had entrusted them without reservation, even assuring rescue from the Demon King if they faltered outside.
Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but speculate montarily about which of the three Demon Kings was aligned with the Ye Family.
But soon he shook his head, pondering which Demon King had no significance; now, quickly nurturing the Crimson Fla Fox and Jade Qilin Flood Dragon to Tier Two Late Stage, and advancing his Cultivation to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishnt was more important.
With the harvest from this Secret Realm, alongside Alchemy, he estimated he wouldn’t have to worry about resources for decades to co within the Ye Family.
After finishing these, the two left the room, allowing the Turtle Ancestor to enter the Spirit Beast Bag.
The Turtle Ancestor belonged to the Tai Cang Turtle, spending its days asleep, and such slumber was itself a form of cultivation.
Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but feel a bit envious when he heard the Second Ancestor ntion it.
"Jingcheng, the family garnered considerable gains both within and outside the Secret Realm this ti, so let’s host a feast to celebrate, but externally, declare it as a summarizing feast!" Ye Xingliu paused briefly before speaking.
Because the Ye Family lost quite a few clan mbers, as well as a number of spirit beasts, the word ’celebration’ seed too ostentatious.
Ye Jingcheng nodded, recalling not only the nurous treasures he acquired within the Secret Realm but also the discovery of a Red-striped Sinking Iron Ore Vein outside, not to ntion obtaining a Golden Rhinoceros cub.
This Golden Rhinoceros cub was capable of advancing three tis, possessing considerable potential to beco a Great Demon or even a Demon King if nurtured well.
Yet, Ye Jingcheng wasn’t particularly interested in this Golden Rhinoceros, for despite its potential, it was a cumberso spirit beast, unlike his nimble Golden Falcon.
As for the family, Ye Haicheng was the one who slew the Purple Mansion Great Demon, and other Ye Family mbers made substantial gains too.
It was indeed worth celebrating.
"Third Uncle, then I suggest preparing a al of Spiritual Cuisine using Star-Feeding Fish; such cuisine should be our Ye Family’s first creation!" Ye Jingcheng proposed.
"Alright, but we don’t have adept Body Cultivators here, so let’s not prepare too much, perhaps a larger Red Section Fish as well!" After a mont’s silence, Ye Xingliu quickly concurred.
The two exited the room and went their separate ways, with Ye Jingcheng preparing the Spiritual Cuisine and Ye Xingliu heading to the Ye Family’s shop to assist.
By now, it was already the fourth day of returning to the Market, while the Chu Family had returned next door four days ago.
The entire Taichang Market was extrely peaceful, devoid of any imagined undercurrents.
It seed as if the Taiyi Sect had already forgotten about the matters concerning the Zhong Family and Zhang Family.
Moreover, as the auction drew closer, the market’s visitor count gradually increased.
More and more people ca to inquire about purchasing Spirit Pills from the Ye Family each day.
These cultivators were mostly loyal custors of the Ye Family, who had signed the Prohibition Order, hence Ye Jingcheng planned to hone his alchemy skills thoroughly before the auction and prepare to release his four kinds of Attribute Pill Formulas one by one, giving the family’s spirit beasts an opportunity to advance.
However, he must strictly determine which spirit beasts could ingest them, as forcing those with insufficient bloodlines could easily cause a violent explosion resulting in death.
At the sa ti, older spirit beasts are not within his consideration range.
Of course, before this, refining more Jade Soul Pills and so popular spirit pills is extrely important.
After all, the shops in the market are only in this period, which is the golden ti to earn spirit stones.
If used well, these two months can compare to two or three years, this is not an exaggeration.
After all, this auction is a ten-year grand event, plus there will be an Immortal Ascension Conference.
This coming together will increase the number of both high-tier and low-tier cultivators.
Moreover, because the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid was sold last decade, many Foundation Establishnt loose cultivators and late-stage Foundation Establishnt clan cultivators have co here.
Ye Jingcheng cleaned the courtyard, and carefully cultivated the Black Cloud Flower again.
Previously, his fa spread outside while he picked flowers and tended trees in the courtyard, so maintaining this image is not a bad thing for him.
After clearing the courtyard, he began to prepare spiritual cuisine.
He took out the Red Section Fish and then the Star-Feeding Fish.
The Red Section Fish carried red scale sections, while the Star-Feeding Fish was dazzling like star spots.
Its tail flicked, splashing a few water droplets, which landed on Ye Jingcheng, emitting a slight fishy sll.
Ye Jingcheng was not annoyed, wiped away the droplets, and slowly started to scale and cook, not throwing away the scales, but rather collecting them in a bag.
Though these scales are not particularly valuable, accumulated, they can exchange for a few spirit stones.
Having experienced poverty, Ye Jingcheng has always cherished spirit stones extrely.
As the spirit fish went into the pot, a smile imdiately appeared on his face.
He enjoys the cooking process, just as he enjoys alchemy, watching mist on rainy days, and sunrises on clear days.
In his view, cultivating for longevity, if just for magical combat and cultivation, is inferior.
Drinking tea and playing chess also embody a cultivation stance.
The spiritual cuisine was soon ready, and he took out his Spring Tea, only for Ye Xingliu, who had just walked in, to replace it with Jade Wave Wine.
"Today we can drink this!" Ye Xingliu said with a smile.
Ye Jingcheng nodded, as evening approached, the shops started closing, and Ye Xingyi, Ye Jingli, Ye Jingyun, and others ca in.
They did not intend to approach, viewing it as Ye Xingliu and Ye Jingcheng celebrating.
"Join us all, call Jing Hao and Jing Yu too, after all, the Secret Realm trip is over, good or bad, you’ve all worked hard!" Ye Xingliu invited everyone.
As the patriarch, he naturally observed all the cultivators’ efforts, usually unsaid, but relaxing is his responsibility.
Ye Jingcheng watched carefully from the side, sure that upon returning to Lingyun Peak, he would be elected patriarch.
These things, he needs to learn.
Moreover, Ye Jingcheng rather enjoys the current feeling.
"Jingcheng, this spiritual cuisine skill could open a restaurant!" Ye Jingli spoke again.
Ye Jingcheng’s skills are naturally excellent; not to ntion other aspects, at least in terms of heat control and color, it’s top-notch.
"Brother Liu’s words are always flattering!" Ye Jingcheng chuckled softly.
Ye Jingli had ntioned this at Taihang Market, only then restaurants were controlled by the Mo Family, and the Ye Family, as a Foundation Establishnt Clan, naturally acted cautiously.
At that ti, he had criticized Ye Jingli.
But today, he felt Ye Jingli’s words were quite pleasant.
At least, it shows he’s erged from the shadow of his Fourth Brother and the two spirit beasts.
Jade Wave Wine is rather spicy and surging, like the sea, eternally giving a sense of excitent.
As the wine hit the belly, Ye Jingli and Ye Jingyong beca more talkative.
With the breeze blowing, their faces turned red, but inevitably recalled scenes with Ye Jingyu, and their eyes showed so sadness.
Ye Xingliu seemingly thought to give space to the younger ones, so retired to his room early.
Ye Jingcheng listened from the side; he doesn’t like talking too much and sotis being a listener is enjoyable.
Indeed, not only Ye Jingyong and Ye Jingli were flushed, but almost everybody had rosy complexions, seemingly with surging blood.
Yet, the forr was due to alcohol, while the latter was from eating Star-Feeding Fish.
Ye Jingcheng also ate a bit, realizing the Star-Feeding Fish’s effect greatly enhances the body, causing his own face to flush, feeling full of energy.
No wonder the Taiyi Sect, even with fewer other treasures, desired the Star-Feeding Fish greatly.
However, Ye Jingcheng only brought out over twenty Star-Feeding Fish, naturally only needing to hand over a dozen, with nearly a hundred remaining in the Grotto Heaven.
In the future, if the Ye Family plans to open a restaurant selling them, it’s feasible; additionally, as a Spirit Beast Clan, they raise spirit fish quickly, which is normal, even the Taiyi Sect would not suspect.
