Taichang Market, Ye Family Shop, the purple-red sunset in the sky is eternally radiant.

Illuminating all the buildings, everything appears somewhat crimson, even the newly planted Spring Tea Tree in the courtyard.

Green tinged with red, making Ye Family members feel slightly uncomfortable.

Ye Jingcheng's face is rosy, and he finds a distinct beauty in this Spring Tea.

Coming out from Taichang Market, he not only received a secret technique as a reward from Master Tianfu but also made connections with Liu Huan.

In the future, it will be more convenient for him to exchange for some precious spirit medicines.

Naturally, everything he sees feels compelling.

He strides into the courtyard, discovering that Ye Xingyi and others have already arranged a large table of spiritual cuisine.

At this time, it is already the shop's closing time, with Ye Xingyi acting as the head chef and Ye Jingyu and Ye Jinhao assisting, extremely busy.

These spiritual cuisines mean little to Ye Jingcheng, but they are incredibly tempting to Ye Jing Hu and Ye Jing Ting.

Their cultivation levels are low, so eating one good spiritual cuisine can significantly enhance their cultivation.

"Patriarch, the Ye Family's Taichang Market has not been evaluated for a long time. Compared to last year, our market profits have doubled. Since you're here, give everyone some encouragement," Ye Xingyi said.

Ye Jingcheng nodded, naturally understanding the signal from Uncle Xingyi. It seems there are some developments from Ye Jing He.

Moreover, concerning market profits, they have indeed increased dramatically this year.

Not to mention that with the auction coming up, there are more cultivators at the market, with daily sales reaching the volume usually seen in half a week or even a month.

The reasons include the Ye Family's growing reputation, as well as the fact that Ye Xingyi now uses the family's exclusive Six-Part Alchemy Method and Spiritual Enhancement Secret Technique, enabling them to refine Jade Soul Pills and Blood Burst Pills.

Thus, the impact of Ye Jingcheng's absence was greatly minimized.

These two secret techniques were given to Ye Xingyi by Ye Jingcheng last year after consulting with Ye Xuefu.

Of course, the most crucial factor this year was the shrinkage of the Kong Family's influence, opening up a vast market.

The Ye Family was one of the beneficiaries.

As the spiritual cuisine was presented before everyone, Ye Xingyi also took out a variety of spirit wines.

These spirit wines were contained in jade bottles, looking like peaceful jade waves, extremely beautiful.

The spirit wine was still Jade Wave Wine, not because the Ye Family is stingy, but because they had previously bought too much Jade Wave Wine and couldn't sell it, so the Ye Family always consumed it internally.

"Patriarch, let me toast you first!" As everyone settled at the long table, Ye Xingyi spoke directly to toast Ye Jingcheng.

To the Ye Family members, Ye Jingcheng at this moment is indeed their hope.

Because the Ye Family's current growth is largely due to Master Tianfu and Supreme Taihao's connections with the Ye Family, along with Ye Jingcheng's talents, many families have opened doors for the Ye Family.

As Ye Xingyi toasts, the other Ye Family members also began to toast Ye Jingcheng.

As the drinking continued, Ye Jingcheng's face turned slightly red, his eyes squinting, seemingly affected by the strong liquor.

Ye Xingyi then abruptly asked:

"Patriarch, our goal this time is the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, right?"

Ye Xingyi's words made everyone present startle involuntarily.

After all, dealing with the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid is significant, and generally, it is meant for those in the late stage or even peak of Foundation Establishment.

So everyone's gaze naturally turned to Ye Jingcheng.

"Yes, that's correct, but the price of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid is very high, and the family needs to start extracting spiritual ores quickly," Ye Jingcheng nodded.

He did not elaborate.

But these words entered everyone's ears, instantly stirring excitement.

This represents that the Ye Family might soon reclaim their status as a Purple Mansion Clan.

Of course, everyone was puzzled, wondering when the family acquired a mysterious Spirit Vein.

Even linking it to Ye Haicheng's recent breakthrough.

After all, the family's financial accounts have always been precise, and previously they couldn't afford to purchase Purple Mansion Jade Liquid for Ye Haicheng's breakthrough.

But Ye Haicheng succeeded, indicating hidden profits for the Ye Family.

However, where did these profits come from? This left the Ye Family members pondering.

Among them, Ye Jing He listened most intently.

But unfortunately, Ye Jingcheng did not continue to speak, and Ye Xingyi did not continue to ask.

This left him itching with curiosity, wanting to ask but knowing he had no way to.

"Patriarch, I recently noticed an increase in Foundation Establishment cultivators in the market, many with intense evil qi." This time it was Ye Jing Hu who spoke.

With his Thunder Spirit Root, he is very sensitive to the heavy blood and evil qi, and the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect is sensitive to it too.

Ye Jingcheng wasn't surprised, knowing that the auction for Purple Mansion Jade Liquid and Foundation Establishment Pills was approaching.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng felt there might be some hidden concerns.

"It seems many loose cultivators have heard about it coming, the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid will certainly not be cheaper than last time, even without the competition from the Jin, Kong, and Zhang families," Ye Jingcheng sighed heavily.

He then added, "Be careful over these next few days, especially regarding treasure maps and any requests to seek treasures together, use your intelligence."

Ye Jing Hu and Ye Jingting nodded repeatedly, indicating they would take caution, and the occasion turned back into time for enjoying the spiritual cuisine.

Ye Jing Hu's physique was evidently tougher, able to consume much, eating till his face was flushed, spiritual light showing all over, before he ceased.

Meanwhile, Ye Jingting and Ye Jinghe began early, sitting to watch while meditating internally.

Nearing the end of the banquet, Ye Xingyi also rose. He looked towards Ye Jingcheng and produced a jade talisman, naturally indicating to everyone the recent financial standing of the Ye Family's shop.

Simultaneously, Ye Xingyi handed Ye Jingcheng a storage bag.

"Patriarch, the situation at Taichang Market may require more family members arranged," Ye Xingyi spoke again.

"Wait a few years, the family's Cloud Valley also needs people," replied Ye Jingcheng after a moment of silence.

However, upon seeing the jade talisman, Ye Jingcheng's complexion improved.

In the eyes of Ye Jing Hu and others, Ye Jingcheng was looking at the family's improving fiscal status, but actually, Ye Jingcheng was looking at the portrait of Hua Yu Sect.

Ye Jinghe was communicating with Hua Yu Sect, no wonder they could promise a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Initially, the Ye Family thought Hua Yu Sect was just an ordinary Foundation Establishment clan.

But last time, learned well from the Corpse Daoist's soul search, Hua Yu Sect might be the Qinghe Sect's pawn on the surface.

They were ordinary clan themselves, but when they clashed with other affiliated forces, cultivators fell in great numbers, leaving Qinghe Sect to substitute in, which seemed reasonable, unnoticed by all.

After all, a major sect swapping into a minor affiliated force was a ludicrous, profitless affair.

Once personnel replacement was done, they began the infiltration into Taiyi Sect's territory.

Ye Jingcheng actually suspected the Jade Cloud Yuan Family might be involved with Hua Yu Sect.

After all, the Yuan Family came to Taihang Market with purpose, very obvious, even gifting the Ye Family the Earth Flame Fiend.

Other families, facing beast tides, wouldn't actively head to Taihang Commandery.

Only the Qinghe Sect wanting to incite further beast tides and spark conflict between Taiyi Sect and the Demon Race would have such necessity.

As for the Wei Family, likely a compromise among other mountain peaks of Taiyi Sect.

Clearly, they were more robust than the Yuan Family.

"Everyone, rest early, in three days we must prepare for the auction, there should be quite an array of items then," Ye Jingcheng concluded the banquet.

He then headed towards the left-middle room.

This was also the room he stayed in before; with the departure of the Chu Family, many rooms had become available, so Ye Xingyi continuously kept one reserved for Ye Jingcheng.

Upon entering the room, the rosy tinge on Ye Jingcheng's face vanished, he arranged an array in the room, then took out the Stone Spirit, letting it absorb.

Inside the Grotto Heaven, the Golden Scale Beast and Wood Demon Earthworm were both undergoing breakthroughs, spiritual energy was rapidly consumed, naturally requiring the favorable use of this market, for the Ye Family annually spent sixteen thousand spirit stones on rent, almost equivalent to a considerable portion of a Foundation Establishment Pill.

He once again took out the jade talisman to glance at it, then shook his head, no longer looking.

After a moment, Ye Xingyi also entered.

Ye Xingyi's expression remained utterly calm, as if he hadn't drunk at the banquet earlier.

The news he leaked earlier was only to entice wolves into the house.

Rather than perpetually guarding against Ye Jinghe, why not ensnare him comprehensively?

Ye Jinghe's deal for a Foundation Establishment Pill merely concerned selling some information about the Ye Family — the spirit vein capable of purchasing Purple Mansion Jade Liquid as bait.

He believed, covertly, both Hua Yu Sect and certainly the Yuan Family would be tempted.

What they stated ambiguously was to make Ye Jinghe believe.

"Patriarch, the hearsay I pried unveiled that the Eight Desolates Sect's treasure fell into the hands of Kong Family's Kong Guxiang. Now, Kong Guxiang is dead, all fingers point the Eight Desolates' treasure towards Taiyi Sect!"

"That's why blood cultivators in the market, along with other loose cultivators, have increased," Ye Xingyi conveyed.

"No matter, the family shall not partake, this clearly signifies a major sect is targeting Taiyi Sect," Ye Jingcheng shook his head.

At present, the Ye Family not involved.

"Additionally, Taiyi Sect seems to be encouraging families of Taiqing Commandery; those who head to Taiqing Commandery may be granted a purchase quota of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid without needing to attend the auction."

"Also, secretly, the Foundation Establishment Pill circulation from Taiqing Market is the highest," Ye Xingyi further transmitted the news he gathered.

After breaking through to Foundation Establishment, Ye Xingyi besides refining spirit pills, kept inquisitive toward news.

After all, he now need hardly concern with the sixty-year Qi Blood Barrier, enjoying abundant time.

"Hmm, reasonably advantageous for the family, additionally liaise with the Wan Family," Ye Jingcheng suddenly suggested.

If in the future, Taiyi Sect indeed collides with Qinghe Sect, the Ye Family undoubtedly drafted in, inevitable.

Presently preparation is necessary.

The Wan Family as spirit beast clan, excelled in spirit insects and sword dao.

Wan Hongchang and Ye Jingcheng's relationship reasonably cordial!
