"Right, right, right, let give you all a few pointers now. Listen up, each of you, and don’t bring trouble to our clan..."
...
At the Ye Family Shop, Ye Jingcheng appeared with a few others, observing how the sign had changed from Chu Ye Pavilion to One Leaf Pavilion.
For a mont, he felt a sense of emotion.
In the past, the Ye Family and the Chu Family shared a single shop, but now that the Ye Family has declined, they occupy an entire shop on their own.
"Patriarch, Jing Li, you’re here?" From a distance, Ye Xingyi also erged from the shop.
Behind Ye Xingyi were Ye Jingyu, Ye Jinhao, and two new mbers of the Ye Family.
"Uncle Xingyi, arrange a room for them, and let Jinhao take them to the market today to familiarize themselves with the situation. If possible, allow them to visit the Street Vendor Square as well!"
"They might be tired from sitting on the Spiritual Ship, so give them half a day’s ti to inquire about the market, consider it a small test."
"Alright, Patriarch, should I report to you here?" Ye Xingyi nodded and then took out a Jade Talisman to ask.
"No need for now, I need to visit the Taichang Mountain Range!" Ye Jingcheng shook his head and took out a Jade Talisman to hand to Ye Xingyi.
This Jade Talisman wasn’t for anything else but to monitor Ye Jinghe’s instructions.
The reason for his imdiate departure was simple; as a registered disciple of Master Tianfu, it wouldn’t be appropriate not to pay a visit.
Before tearing off all pretense, as a qualified Patriarch, it was necessary to maintain full etiquette.
Ye Jingcheng had prepared a gift, a Spiritual Peach that extends life by three years.
Such a spirit fruit is considered extrely precious and yet sowhat redundant.
But as a congratulatory gift, it is undoubtedly notable—even a Golden Core True Master would find it valuable since life extension cannot be bought.
As for a Longevity Peach that extends life by ten years, Ye Jingcheng wouldn’t take that out, as it might give others the wrong impression that he had encountered so fortuitous event. After all, a ten-year longevity Spiritual Peach might even entice a Purple Mansion Ascendant to take risks.
The decay of vital forces can bottleneck not only at the Foundation Establishnt but also at the Purple Mansion Golden Core, just at different timing.
Sotis, they might be just a dozen years away.
And if Ye Jingcheng took out too precious a treasure amidst the decline of the Ye Family, it would only be counterproductive.
After talking with Ye Xingyi and learning about the market situation, Ye Jingcheng flew towards the Taichang Mountain Range.
The mountain gate of the Taiyi Sect is behind the Taichang Market, requiring one to bypass the valley where the market is located, where a five to six zhang wide chain-bridge footpath awaits.
Passing through the footpath, there is a flat road staircase made of giant stone slabs.
Of course, do not consider this staircase ordinary.
This is the renowned Devout Dao Ladder of the Taiyi Sect.
On this ladder, no flying is allowed; everyone must walk, as if embarking on a pilgrimage, climbing ninety-eight steps.
Of course, this pilgrimage has its benefits; it can train one’s physical strength, especially useful for Tier One Cultivators.
Ye Jingcheng walked up the staircase, only to feel a terrifying gravity pressing on his body, and when he used his Spiritual Energy, the pressure multiplied, and if he tried to fly, it increased further.
Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but secretly disdain it. While it was said to train the physical body, in reality, it served as an obstacle to those who ca!
Along with Ye Jingcheng, many other cultivators were walking the sa ladder, not only from the Taiyi Sect but also from other families who ca to pay their respects.
With the auction soon to take place, accompanied by Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, many were eager to gather information.
Once past the Devout Dao Ladder, Ye Jingcheng found himself surprisingly sweating all over. Although he had broken through to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishnt, his physical body was not a strong suit.
And beyond the staircase stood a massive mountain gate.
This mountain gate resembled a celestial bridge, spanning two mountains, with the giant characters of the Taiyi Sect appearing as if a divine gate embedded within the celestial bridge. Carved above the mountain gate was a Golden Dragon, its eyes glaring and mouth holding a Dragon Bead.
The scene was extrely majestic and seed to carry a certain aura, making it impossible to look directly at it.
On both ends of the celestial bridge stood many Taiyi Sect cultivators guarding it.
Among them were Qi Cultivation Cultivators and Foundation Establishnt Cultivators.
Evidently, even in a sect like the Taiyi Sect, the majority were Qi Cultivation Cultivators.
"Halt! Present your token if you have business!" ca a shout from above the celestial gate.
The nurous visiting cultivators also took out their Jade Talismans to present their identities and instructions.
The Taiyi Sect’s cultivators entered the celestial gate directly.
"Taiyi’s graciousness and Golden Dragon Prayers, all of you prepare yourselves!" ca a voice from atop the celestial bridge once more.
The Golden Dragon, holding the Dragon Bead in its mouth, emitted a dazzling light.
Instantly, a golden light fell upon Ye Jingcheng and so surrounding cultivators.
Ye Jingcheng felt a warm sensation, but more so, he felt his Spiritual Power leaking out.
Under this golden light, no one could hide their cultivation level.
Ye Jingcheng’s understanding of the Taiyi Sect’s thods deepened, and his wariness increased.
Once the prayer was completed, Ye Jingcheng took out Master Tianfu’s token and sent a ssage to Master Tianfu.
Only then was he invited into the celestial gate. Once inside, Ye Jingcheng understood why the Taiyi Sect was one of the Three Great Sects in the Yan Kingdom.
The abundant Spiritual Energy must be at least of Tier Three High-Grade.
Looking up toward the mountains from the mountain gate, it was an endless stretch of mountain peaks and lush Spirit dicine Valleys.
And one had to realize, this was just the mountain gate. Once on certain important clan mountains, they likely started with Tier Four Spiritual Veins.
The cultivators one encountered were likely to be from the Purple Mansion.
Of course, the most striking feature was still the appearance of the Taiyi Five Peaks.
In the entire mountain range, Sword Peak towered steeply like a holy sword rising, Dharma Peak was profoundly mysterious, resembling a chessboard unraveling; Martial Peak’s five fingers spread wide like a hand.
"Master Tianfu resides under the first peak of Illusion Peak. You follow , but rember not to release your Spirit Beast at will, nor roam freely, otherwise, you must bear the consequences."
Even though Ye Jingcheng had just established a relation, a stern cultivator ca down from above.
He wore the robe of Illusion Peak.
Evidently, he was also a disciple of Illusion Peak.
The Spirit dicine Gardens planted here, along with the Spiritual Veins, were simply incomparable.
"No wonder the Taiyi Sect is one of the Three Great Sects of the Yan Kingdom," Ye Jingcheng thought.
He speculated that even without its Mini World, Taiyi Sect’s overall strength far exceeded what they had imagined it to be.
It was likely that a vast sect like Taiyi had a staggering number of over twenty thousand cultivators.
Soon enough, after passing the massive Illusion Peak, Ye Jingcheng found himself in front of a single horned mountain peak.
"This here is Celestial Horn Peak, the location of Master’s cave abode, and its Spiritual Energy is ranked among the foremost of the mountain peaks in the Taichang Mountain Range."
"Now, just follow . Master has been waiting for you for so ti."
"Thank you, Elder Taihao." Ye Jingcheng repeatedly expressed.
"Just call Senior Brother," replied Supre Taihao sternly, shaking his head.
Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng quickly collected himself, then called out, "Senior Brother," and only then did Supre Taihao continue leading him up the mountain.
