Moreover, this is under the premise that the Jade Qilin Snake has not released the poisonous mist. Otherwise, with the release of the poisonous mist, combined with Fog Escape, the Golden Scale Beast's speed would not even compare.

After watching for a while, Ye Jingcheng suddenly sensed a chilling aura, and a wild joy erupted on his face as he walked out of the courtyard.

Inside the spirit field, a layer of black cloud miasma had enveloped the area, and simultaneously, a number of Five Poison Bees were harvesting the spiritual honey from the Black Cloud Flower.

The blooming period of the Purple Illusion Flower and the Poison Thorn Flower is shorter, but the Black Cloud Flower blooms once every three years, with a longer flowering period.

Moreover, it can form a poisonous miasma that lasts more than half a year.

At this moment, two thousand Five Poison Bees gathered in the Black Cloud Miasma, forming a spectacular five-colored insect cloud.

However, at this moment, the growth of those spirit flowers and spirit fruits was of no concern to Ye Jingcheng.

Even the Spring Tea and the Jade Ring Rats that were still digging up the soil went unchecked by Ye Jingcheng, who instead walked directly to the largest beehive.

Inside the hive was a giant six-colored queen bee the size of a child's fist, buzzing its wings in an eager manner.

Its poison needle had lengthened once more, appearing longer than Ye Jingcheng's magical artifact, the Cyan Corpse Needle.

Furthermore, the needle was imbued with a black, deadly toxin.

It was as if the venom was flowing slowly, dripping from the tip of the needle.

Ye Jingcheng opened the array, and the queen bee buzzed and flew around him.

It was quite adept at following the commands Ye Jingcheng set for the bee swarm, immediately displaying a gesture of goodwill, then a stance of hunger.

Even though Ye Jingcheng could sense it through the Soul Contract, it remained enthusiastically persistent, seemingly quite excited as well.

With the six-colored queen bee now a Tier Two Demon Beast, as it hovered there, all the other Five Poison Bees swarmed up.

Even the queen bee's drone inside the hive surged out to pay homage to its singular king.

"Fly for a bit!" Ye Jingcheng commanded, asking the six-colored bee king to demonstrate its speed.

The wings of this bee king were not large, and its slender body was not suited for larger, more complete wings.

But once it picked up speed, a six-colored spiritual aura streaked through the air, and the six-colored bee king vanished from its original spot.

As Ye Jingcheng observed this speed, he was taken aback, realizing that the speed of the six-colored bee far exceeded that of the Golden Scale Beast.

Coupled with its lethal poison needle, it undoubtedly increased Ye Jingcheng's chances of success.

Ye Jingcheng took out some spiritual honey and released a significant amount of treasure light for the Five Poison Bees.

The latter buzzed its wings in response.

Ye Jingcheng smiled slightly, feeling his safety for the trip to Taichang Market was now more assured.

The following days returned to a state of peace.

On Lingyun Peak, the winds occasionally roared, and rainstorms and thunder broke out.

Ye Jingcheng found himself quite relaxed amidst it all.

Since he was preparing to go to Taichang Market, Ye Xingliu hadn't assigned him any tasks in recent days.

He mainly focused on studying spiritual pills, and the breakthrough in Divine Sense enabled him to refine Tier Two Middle-grade Spirit Pills without much difficulty.

Besides studying Tier Two Middle-grade Spirit Pills, Ye Jingcheng was also consistently researching Tier Two Red Flame Pills.

These Tier Two Red Flame Pills are also a Tier Two High-Grade Spirit Pill. Even though Ye Jingcheng had studied them many times, he still did not feel confident.

Not even with the Six-Part Alchemy Method.

This is, after all, a Tier Two High-Grade Spirit Pill. Neither his Divine Sense nor his pill furnace, nor his alchemy experience, met the best conditions.

He could only keep simulating, practicing with ordinary spirit medicine, testing the melting point and pill condensation point.

Time passed, and a month and a half had gone by once more.

With the sky now a blazing red like fire, the windows of Ye Jingcheng's house, initially wide open, were now half-closed.

As the firelight of the spirit furnace receded, he swiftly poured the medicinal liquid from the pill furnace into a pill bottle; he hadn't failed.

He had used medicinal herbs other than those for the Tier Two Red Flame Pill; they were analogs he devised for practicing.

This kind of practice inevitably lacked something.

However, today was also the day he had agreed upon with Ye Xingliu.

Ye Jingcheng packed the storage bags and storage bracelets he needed to bring, then took a few Spirit Beast Bags and walked into the courtyard.

The spiritual peach trees in the courtyard were fully ripened, and due to the wood demon, Ye Jingcheng occasionally granted some treasure light to that Tier One Middle-grade spiritual peach tree. Although ordinary spiritual peaches were not highly valuable, they could still sell for three to four spirit stones each.

Meanwhile, the Wood Demon's spiritual peach tree, bearing five peaches now ripe and vividly red, each the size of an adult's fist, was rich with treasure light and exuded an enticing fragrance.

Even the Jade Qilin Snake, which usually swallowed whole, poked its head out of its beast house from time to time, seemingly ready to seize one or two if the wood demon let down its guard.

Ye Jingcheng took out a verdant jade hairpin and picked the five spiritual peaches one by one.

Then he placed one in his hand, sensing it for a moment, feeling quite satisfied.

According to his estimation, this singular spiritual peach could increase one's lifespan by three years.

Much more than he had initially thought, considering these were just Tier One spirit peaches.

Concurrently, Ye Jingcheng also had a thought that his Communication Beast Wood Demon might similarly give back longevity.

Thinking of this made Ye Jingcheng eager to experiment.

However, he didn't immediately initiate beast communication, intending to use the moment of Communication Beast to breakthrough to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

After all, the instant of Communication Beast is more effective for breaking through bottlenecks.

Of these five spiritual peaches, Ye Jingcheng planned to take out two to give to Ye Haiyun.

Besides anything else, it was due to the latter that he had benefitted greatly in alchemy.

After collecting the peaches, Ye Jingcheng looked at the wood demon:

"Peach Wood, retract your main body!"

"Alright, Master." The Peach Wood Demon instantly retracted its main body without any hesitation.

If in the past it hesitated over moving, now, with Ye Jingcheng's treasure light, it eagerly desired to root itself to him.

With Ye Jingcheng going to Taichang Commandery, it was naturally willing to follow.

Ye Jingcheng stored the Peach Wood Demon into a Spirit Beast Bag, then picked the ordinary peaches. This peach tree bore many peaches, though they varied in size.

In the end, the total reached up to thirty-five in number.

Each one was radiant with spiritual light, although not as great as the spiritual longevity peach, they were refined enough to enhance the cultivation of Qi Cultivation cultivators.

After securing the spiritual peaches, Ye Jingcheng also collected other three beasts, then headed directly towards the spirit field.

The Poison Thorn Fruits in the spirit field were fully ripe, and with a wave of his hand, Ye Jingcheng harvested them all.

Finally, he picked some Spring Tea.

Having collected the spiritual honey, with the Spirit Bees exceeding two thousand, and the Black Cloud Flowers, Purple Illusion Flowers, and Poison Thorn Flowers he cultivated, the spiritual honey also exceeded thirty jin.

Ye Jingcheng took away eighty percent of it, then brought along a thousand Five Poison Bees, preparing to leave. Seeing the Jade Ring Rat nearby, he hesitated for a moment, then decided to take it along as well.

He first went to Ye Haiyun's place, and finding that he was not there, used a Forbidden Talisman to enter the courtyard, leaving behind two spiritual longevity peaches, along with some spirit tea and Poison Thorn Fruits.

Then he visited the homes of Ye Haitian, Ye Haiping, Ye Xinghan, and Ye Xingqun respectively.

After leaving some spiritual fruits, he headed to the Family's Treasure Hall.

The trip to Taichang Market would involve five people this time.

Among them were two pill masters, two eloquent staff members, and one person in charge.

This was the standard setup for the Ye Family's shopkeeping.

Ye Jingcheng was both the person in charge and a pill master, making this journey consist of three alchemists and two staff members.

Among the alchemists were Ye Jingcheng's acquaintance, Ye Jingyun, and a Tier One High-grade Alchemist from the Xing generation, Ye Xingyi.

Among the staff, Ye Jingcheng was surprised to find Ye Jinhao, alongside another unexpected person, Ye Jingyu.

The latter was a Spirit Plant Master, with better prospects remaining within the family to cultivate Spirit Plants.

However, she impulsively applied for a position as a shop staff member on this trip.

Although the salary was higher, it also consumed time and came with significant risks.

Ye Jingcheng didn't stop her, as this might be an opportunity for Ye Jingyu. She was only forty-six years old; if she encountered fortune at Taichang Market and gained family recognition through Beast Communication,

there might be a slim chance of reaching Foundation Establishment.

Remaining with the family, her talent in cultivating spirit plants offered limited prospects for development.
