"No need to be too modest. As for the demon beast meat, there's no need to prepare too much; what we lack the least here is spirit beast meat!" The two led Ye Jingcheng into the cave.
A large underground hall had long been carved out here.
Both sides of the hall were engraved with spirit patterns.
Interestingly, these spirit patterns had concealment effects, clearly corresponding one-to-one with the array outside.
"This is the Cloud Concealment Spirit Array researched by your Fourth Great Uncle!"
"Ordinary Late Stage Purple Mansion cultivators can't even find it unless they get close!" Seeing Ye Jingcheng's face full of curiosity, Ye Xuefu spoke up.
There weren't many True Masters and Demon Kings rampaging in the Outer Sea, so the exposure risk with this array was not high.
Even if someone discovered the array, they would think there were high-tier cultivators on the island and leave out of fear.
"Jingcheng, it's perfect that you're here; now that we have Purple Mansion combat power, even facing some Purple Mansion Great Demons isn't without hope!" Ye Xingliu also spoke by the side.
Although the two of them were in the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, with spirit beasts and backup, fighting with Purple Mansion cultivators shouldn't be a big problem.
But in the Outer Sea, unless there was an 80% chance, the Ye Family wouldn't take the risk, much less fight.
In the Outer Sea, injury could mean death; there were too many beast hunters and high-tier great demons, likely to be targeted and even slaughtered.
This is also why many loose cultivators choose to join a sect, as there is at least some restraint among fellow sect members.
Hearing Ye Xingliu's words, Ye Jingcheng felt some anticipation, as it meant Ye Xingliu already had a target.
Although the Outer Sea varied in distances, there were always demon beasts.
And with the cautious nature of the Ye family members, as long as there was a hidden island, the spirit beasts within thousands of miles of sea should have all been marked on the Spirit Diagram.
"Let's not talk about this; try the Spiritual Cuisine here to welcome Jingcheng." Ye Xuefu shook his head.
Saying this, the three had arrived at the first level of the underground courtyard.
Here, the spiritual energy was even more abundant, and there was a large Spirit Gathering Array in the middle.
Besides that, a Spiritual Pear Tree was planted, a tree more abundant in the East Sea, and its fruits were much larger than those from the Yan Kingdom.
Under the pear tree was a stone table. After seating Ye Jingcheng, Ye Xuefu began preparing the Spiritual Cuisine.
Ye Jingcheng tried to help several times but was glared back each time.
This time it was the Spiritual Sheep Banquet, using a type of spirit beast the Ye Family raised specially, which could enhance a cultivator's vitality, similar to the Star-Feeding Fish, though not as potent.
When the Spiritual Cuisine was ready, Ye Jingcheng took out Tier Two Yunfu Tea and started brewing it.
When everything was prepared, the three of them raised their Spirit Tea for a toast, adding more flavor and making Ye Jingcheng feel a greater sense of warmth.
"Jingcheng, how many Tier Three spirit beasts do you have now?" At this time, Ye Xuefu asked the most crucial question.
Ye Jingcheng had just broken through to Tier Three recently. They thought he might not have all his magical treasures yet and would rely on the family to fill in the gaps.
But that way, the combat power would be quite limited. Conversely, if there were more Tier Three spirit beasts, the combat power would be vastly different.
In their estimation, Ye Jingcheng had at least one Tier Three spirit beast.
"Three, even counting the Purple Sun Demon Corpse, only five Purple Mansion combat power. We still need to be cautious!" Ye Jingcheng said cautiously.
In his view, the Outer Sea was very dangerous.
Even if it's a five-on-one or seven-on-one situation, it needs to be planned and executed perfectly.
One must not be careless.
Otherwise, the possibility of capsizing is too great.
"Cough!" At this moment, both Ye Xuefu and Ye Xingliu were somewhat stunned by Ye Jingcheng's calm words. After exchanging glances, they coughed lightly a couple of times.
Considering they were over a hundred years older than Ye Jingcheng, and yet the latter's cultivation had surpassed theirs, and in the nurturing of spirit beasts, he had left them far behind.
"Let's go check out this Spirit Island; there's a Golden Clawed Sea Heron here, early stage of Tier Three, it hasn't been on this island long. As long as we plan properly, we can slay it!" Ye Xingliu eagerly took out the Spirit Diagram.
As for resting and adjusting, it wasn't delayed either.
The Ye Family has always planned things thoroughly before executing them.
"There should be other things on this island, or else the Golden Clawed Sea Heron wouldn't have come here."
"Then it's settled with this Golden Clawed Sea Heron," Ye Jingcheng nodded upon hearing this.
Although facing a Purple Mansion Great Demon right away is a bit rushed, it's not a bad choice for Ye Jingcheng, especially with Ye Xuecang's breakthrough coming in a few months.
The more great demons they can kill now, the smoother Ye Xuecang's progress will be.
Having made a decision, the discussion moved to how to handle some additional details.
After finishing their discussion, the two checked out Ye Jingcheng's three Purple Mansion spirit beasts.
After seeing them, they were even more astonished, feeling much more confident about the upcoming operation.
The Golden Falcon's speed, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon's close combat, and the Red Flame Fox's long-range attacks.
With such a lineup, they could even hold their own against Tier Three purple mansion demon beasts.
After the discussion, Ye Jingcheng originally intended to meditate for a while but saw Ye Xuefu looking at him.
Then he was led into an alchemy room nearby.
"Try the East Sea's spirit pills," Ye Xuefu said.
Ye Jingcheng's alchemy skills came half from Ye Haiyun and half from Ye Xuefu.
The Perfect Furnace and the Six-Part Alchemy Method, as well as the Spiritual Enhancement Secret Technique, were all taught by Ye Xuefu.
Now it was clear the other party wanted to test whether Ye Jingcheng had neglected his alchemy skills over the years.
Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng nodded.
He took out the Tier Two Top-Grade Pill Furnace, Celestial Bell Furnace, and began furnace refining on the spot.
The pill he was refining was the Tier Two Upper Grade Ren Shui Pill.
Ye Jingcheng had been refining this spirit pill for a long time and was very familiar with it, so the refining process wasn't slow, and lastly, the pill was out with the furnace turning.
Seven sky-blue pills were brimming with spiritual lustre, and one even had a faint pill pattern on it.
"Seven spirit pills, one with a pill pattern, six with spirit fragrance!" Ye Xuefu spoke with satisfaction.
"You've surpassed me; this is the family's Spirit Pill Order, officially given to you!" At this moment, Ye Xuefu took out a Spirit Jade Token.
This token wasn't big, only about palm-sized, carved with layers of beast shadows.
"This is the family's alchemy legacy. Besides your third uncle, only the most accomplished alchemy master can possess it."
"Now, I have no reason to hold onto it anymore. I look forward to seeing the family's second Tier Three Alchemist after so many years," Ye Xuefu continued, seeing Ye Jingcheng's face full of confusion.
And Ye Xuefu's third uncle was no simple person; he was also a member of the Ye Family's 'Sheng' generation, Ye Shengyi.
However, from what he understood, the longevity of Ye Shengyi's ancestor was running out, and it seemed he had been recovering from injuries.
Of course, his cultivation hadn't reached the level of a Golden Core True Master.
Ye Jingcheng accepted the Spirit Jade Token and immediately noticed that it was connected to the family token, and it also held several legacies.
It recorded many pill formulas.
These pill formulas encompassed all the Tier One and Tier Two recipes of the Ye Family, along with several Tier Three and even Tier Four formulas, including the Gold Condensing Pill.
Ye Jingcheng was momentarily stunned by this.
But thinking about how the family was once passed down from the Beast Desolate Wasteland, it was understandable.
Of course, his greatest feeling at the moment was joy.
After the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon and Red Flame Fox Golden Falcon reached Tier Three, consuming Ren Shui Pill, Fire Beast Pill, or Golden King Pill didn't have much effect anymore.
Now, he could use Tier Three spirit pills to make up for it and continue to improve cultivation speed.
This was truly the family's deep foundation.
"In the future, if you need any spirit medicine, this Spirit Pill Order can also be issued, and family members will help you gather it!" Ye Xuefu continued to explain.
There wasn't a trace of regret in his eyes over losing the Spirit Pill Order.
On the contrary, he was filled with pride.
"Keep working hard; the family's Purple Mansion cultivators are so few, partly because the family hasn't had a strong Tier Three Alchemist." Ye Xuefu patted Ye Jingcheng's shoulder.
It was already broad enough to make the Ye family members feel at ease.
Inside the room, Ye Xuefu walked out, and Ye Jingcheng continued studying the Spirit Jade Token.
Besides the pill formulas, it also contained the alchemy experiences of the Ye Family throughout history.
This greatly increased Ye Jingcheng's confidence in refining the Tier Three Golden Scale Pill and the Tier Three Jade Qilin Pill.
It should be noted that for these advancement pills, he had already completed the collection for the former, and the latter lacked only one Cold-Storage Grass.
A few more days passed, during which Ye Jingcheng's spirit beasts, under the guidance of Ye Xuefu and Ye Xueliang, went through numerous drills.
Once all the beasts and Ye Jingcheng were accustomed to the magical combats at sea, the three of them set out aboard the Spirit Shuttle, heading deeper into the Outer Sea!
