After silently meditating on the Taiqing Spirit Nurturing Skill for an entire morning, Ye Jingcheng walked out of the Dao Hall. At this moment, under the influence of Celestial Corner Tea and the Spirit Nurturing Skill,

his entire body felt considerably relaxed. His Essence, Qi, and Spirit had all reached their peak. If he were to practice alchemy in this state, he was confident he could increase the number of pills refined by ten percent.

Furthermore, if he were to introspect on himself, he would discover that the Wood Phase Spiritual Energy of the Four-Phase Spiritual Energy was more abundant as well. He had a feeling that if he could fully refine this energy,

those few cups of tea could rival months of hard cultivation.

And it should be known that he was now in the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, making every bit of progress extremely difficult.

Once he left the Dao Hall, Ye Jingcheng began to take his leave.

Today, he had reaped a lot of benefits. As for the Red Jade Spirit-Slaying Skill, Ye Jingcheng had learned from Supreme Taihao that it was not only an advanced killing secret technique.

It was also a secret technique extremely beneficial for alchemy.

Even Supreme Taihao had not been able to master it. Of course, it wasn't that Supreme Taihao lacked the talent, but this Spirit-Slaying Skill was more suited for an Alchemy Master.

When refining spirit pills, it was quite advantageous as well.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng couldn't understand why a killing secret technique could be connected to alchemy.

But at the very least, after breaking through the Purple Mansion, he still had expectations for it.

Ye Jingcheng left Celestial Horn Peak under the evening glow, holding both a token and a jade talisman in his hands.

The token was from Taiyi Illusion Peak; aside from a few important peaks and the Spirit Medicine Garden, Ye Jingcheng could wander freely throughout the Taichang Mountain Range.

The jade talisman recorded the cave residence of Ye Jingteng.

After Ye Jingteng broke through to Foundation Establishment, he also acquired his own mountain. Ye Jingcheng had never been there before, and since he was already at Illusion Peak today, it would be inappropriate not to visit.

Moreover, Ye Jingcheng also wanted Ye Jingteng to help him exchange for some treasures.

He had nearly collected enough of the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid Medicine, but he was still missing a few spirit medicines needed for the Purple Spirit Concentration Liquid.

He had previously exchanged these at Taiyi Sect, and seeking others might expose him.

Soon, he arrived at Illusion Grain Mountain, where Ye Jingteng resided.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Ye Jingteng was not allowed to name a mountain after himself.

Illusion Grain Mountain was home to a Tier Two Top-Grade spiritual vein, so three cultivators resided there.

Ye Jingteng was just one of them, while Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but feel envious as he looked at the lush and delicate peak before him.

He wondered when the Ye Family could own one spirit mountain after another.

The characteristic of such a Spirit Mountain Range is that there's a large spiritual vein running throughout the mountain range.

Above the spiritual vein are smaller spiritual veins, achieving the effect of the Taichang Mountain Range.

If the Ye Family wanted to achieve this in the future, they had a long road ahead, unless they directly replaced Taiyi Sect.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingcheng shook his head repeatedly, casting aside unrealistic ideas.

He sent a Sound Transmission Talisman into the mountain.

But there was no response for a long time, suggesting someone was in seclusion.

Ye Jingcheng reluctantly left a Sound Transmission Talisman and departed.

Logically, since Supreme Taihao had given him the jade talisman, it should mean Ye Jingteng was not in seclusion, but without a response, Ye Jingcheng wasn't willing to waste time here.

In the Sound Recording Talisman he left behind, he mixed the necessary spirit medicines with other spirit medicines, making it seem like he was refining a regular Tier Two Spirit Pill.

He left, waiting for Ye Jingteng to come out of seclusion and help him exchange for what he needed.

And then he directly left.

...

At Illusion Grain Mountain, Ye Jingteng landed in his courtyard, his face full of bitterness. His eyes were somewhat red, and he held an array banner in his hand but ultimately did not set it up.

His aura was restless and turbulent.

He originally thought that if Ye Jingcheng could break through to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, he could do so rapidly as well.

After all, he was in the Taichang Mountain Range, where spiritual energy and resources were, in his view, far beyond what Ye Jingcheng had access to.

His cultivation technique wasn't as good as his either.

Unexpectedly, Ye Jingcheng had succeeded in breaking through, while he had failed, and if not for the prepared elixirs, he might have suffered severe injuries.

This was why he didn't want to see Ye Jingcheng today.

When he had broken through to Foundation Establishment, Ye Jingcheng was still at the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, and now Ye Jingcheng had surpassed him, reaching the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Yet he had failed to break through and was nearly backsliding in his cultivation.

"Is the Spirit Body really that strong?" Ye Jingteng murmured as he walked outside his room, putting away the jade talisman.

Even though he didn't want to see Ye Jingcheng, he would still help him exchange for the required spirit medicines.

He always believed that to revitalize the Ye Family, it was necessary to absorb the sect's resources to strengthen the family.

Standing on the shoulders of giants is naturally better than walking alone.

He felt that no one in the family understood him, and Ye Jingcheng could only be considered halfway there.

Using Divine Sense, he glanced outside his cave's array, finding a storage bag.

Smiling with joy, he walked over to it and put the storage bag away.

Inside were three Jade Soul Pills, many Spirit Stones, and a lot of Fire Patterned Sinking Iron.

...

Ye Jingcheng flew once more over the Taichang Mountain Range. Of course, he was careful to only compare it to the Spirit Diagram and did not dare extend his Divine Sense externally, as there were many Purple Mansion and Foundation Establishment cultivators around.

Offending them would only result in his own misfortune.

Although Master Tianfu had high hopes for him, more members of Taiyi Sect might want to search his soul.

Ye Jingcheng finally stopped in front of a Hundred Flowers Valley.

This Hundred Flowers Valley wasn't a Spirit Medicine Garden but a rare cave residence within the Illusion Peak region.

It was also the cave residence of Liu Huan.

Previously, Liu Huan had helped the Ye Family to some extent, and with his boundless potential, breaking through the Purple Mansion was only a matter of time.
