On Purple Wood Island, strands of purple light illuminated the island.

In front of the great hall, many cultivators practicing Purple Qi descended onto the island to absorb it.

Ye Jingcheng also arrived from afar, travel-worn, to find more cultivators on the sect's public square.

It turned out this was because the Purple Wood Sect had annexed the Yu Chu Sect, making it easier to recruit disciples.

Among them were quite a few unfamiliar faces of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Ye Jingcheng was relieved not to see An Yuhuai.

Otherwise, he would have been stopped again with endless questions, which he found troublesome.

Ye Jingcheng held his Purple Wood Order and walked through the great hall square straight towards the Purple Wood Hall.

Upon reaching the Purple Wood Hall, he found that the responsible cultivator had changed and was now a cultivator formed by Ye Haisheng within.

"Elder Sheng, where's the Sect Leader?" Ye Jingcheng asked.

"The Sect Leader is already in seclusion, follow me to hand over the tasks!" Ye Haisheng said.

He then led Ye Jingcheng aside; Ye Jingcheng's public task was merely to find the whereabouts of a Demon Beast.

Ye Jingcheng had naturally prepared for this long ago.

After completing the public task, Ye Jingcheng headed towards the underground hall on Purple Wood Island.

Having finished the public task, he needed to hand over the hidden task for the Ye family.

Ye Haisheng accompanied him as well.

Ye Jingcheng seeing this, did not try to stop it.

Of course, he couldn't stop it.

After all, he was a member of the younger Jing Generation, while the other was an elder of the Sea Generation.

Even if he didn't acknowledge it, he couldn't make the other leave.

The two of them arrived at the underground hall together, where the rooms remained extremely secure.

At the entrance, there were two Ye Family cultivators guarding the place.

Ye Jingcheng did not know these two cultivators, but upon seeing Ye Haisheng, they still called out "Great Uncle".

Ye Jingcheng estimated they were from the Xing Generation, perhaps previous Hidden Peak cultivators.

Otherwise, Ye Jingcheng wouldn't have been unfamiliar with them.

Word had it that the Ye family in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain possessed a mini world, housing many mortals of the Ye family, so many Qi Cultivation cultivators in the Purple Wood Sect secretly belonged to the Ye family.

"Third Granduncle is in seclusion, so we have to show the Beast Communication Pattern!" Ye Haisheng explained to the side and showed his Beast Communication Pattern first.

Ye Jingcheng glanced over and noticed Ye Haisheng also had a Five-Inch Beast Pattern.

No wonder he was so full of pride.

Ye Jingcheng then extended his hand, also revealing a Five-Inch Beast Pattern.

However, Ye Jingcheng's Five-Inch Beast Pattern was much thicker than his.

If Ye Jingcheng's was as thick as a child's arm, Ye Haisheng's Beast Pattern was only finger-thick.

This was the result of the Second Soul Injection.

Seeing this, Ye Haisheng's expression showed some anger, as if he had realized something.

From his perspective, Ye Jingcheng's ability to tame so many beasts was because the Ye family had injected his soul ahead of time.

With the ability to tame so many beasts, coupled with practicing the Ye family's Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture and possessing many innately talented Spirit Beasts, and being an Alchemy Master himself, no wonder his cultivation progressed so quickly!

Ye Jingcheng didn't care about Ye Haisheng's thoughts; instead, he went directly to hand in the task, taking out his Soul Banner.

Such a Soul Banner had an enormous capacity, capable of holding tens of thousands of Beast Souls.

Of course, many Tier One Spirit Fish and Spirit Insects weren't able to form Beast Souls.

After all, Demon Beasts themselves had weak Soul Power, and Low-Tier Demon Beasts found it even harder to have Beast Souls.

This was also why Tier One and Two Spiritual Artifacts rarely had Beast Souls as Artifact Spirits.

To Ye Jingcheng's surprise, the person in charge of handling the Beast Soul task and the Hidden Island map was Ye Xuefan.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng's arrival, Ye Xuefan's face showed curiosity.

He had previously helped Ye Jingcheng slay a Water Spike Turtle.

But that was already five or six years ago.

So, he was very curious about how many Third Tier Demon Beasts and Second Tier Demon Beasts Ye Jingcheng had slain.

Ye Xuefan also spotted Ye Haisheng trailing behind and, without a word, closed the Array.

Preventing Ye Haisheng from observing from the side.

"Fourth Granduncle!" Ye Jingcheng also clasped his hands in respect.

He didn't mind Ye Xuefan's caution. Letting Ye Haisheng see this would only invite ridicule.

"Now that you're back, hand in your tasks and then find your Granduncle; he has a gift for you!" Ye Xuefan laughed heartily.

Among these Ye family patriarchs, the most authoritative was Ye Xuecang, the most mysterious was Ye Shengyi, and certainly, the most open-hearted and kind was Ye Xuefan.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng was quite interested and conveniently handed over the Soul Banner, along with the Hidden Island Inspection Jade Talisman and detailed Sea Diagram.

This Sea Diagram was exclusively marked by the Ye family, giving detailed distributions of Demon Beasts and the order of Spirit Veins and Spirit Islands.

This was the essence of the Hidden Island, allowing future Ye family cultivators to be more at ease when hunting Demon Beasts or facing Beast Tides.

Of course, the most critical task was the Soul Banner.

Ye Xuefan took the Soul Banner, glanced at it, and then widened his eyes in obvious surprise.

After a long pause, he finally spoke:

"One Late Stage Third Tier Beast Soul, three Mid-stage Third Tier Beast Souls, eleven Early Stage Third Tier, fifty-two Late Stage Second Tier Beast Souls, one hundred and twenty Mid-Early Stage Second Tier Beast Souls, and six hundred and thirty-eight Tier One Beast Souls—your gains are equivalent to the fifteen-year harvest of the former Cangyin Island!"

Don't underestimate Ye Jingcheng's seemingly small bounty over seven years—one must know that Tier Three Great Demons don't cluster together.

Moreover, they possess formidable power and survival abilities. Even though Ye Jingcheng was an Early-stage Purple Mansion Cultivator, like Ye Haige, only managing to kill two Tier Three Great Demons in five years on the Hidden Island.

The amount of Second Tier Demon Beasts was comparable.

However, in comparison, there was still a significant gap.

Of course, Ye Xuefan was unaware that Ye Jingcheng spent most of his time on Alchemy.
