If it were replaced with a Golden Scale Beast, its throat would probably be sore from shouting by now.

Ye Jingcheng walked into the room and immediately took out the Red Flame Pill with better luster and quality.

After the Red Flame Fox swallowed it, it even licked Ye Jingcheng's palm with its tongue, which was a rare gesture.

Ye Jingcheng rubbed the Red Flame Fox's head, pouring in Treasure Light frantically.

"Hurry up and break through!"

No sooner than the Red Flame Fox swallowed the Advancement Pill, its entire body burst uncontrollably with Cyan Yang Flame, and its eyes flickered with flames.

Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but step back a few paces, worried about getting scorched by the Cyan Yang Flame, as it could burn away vitality.

Fortunately, the Spirit Net on the Red Flame Fox's forehead quickly spread out, reabsorbing the Cyan Yang Flame.

However, the Red Flame Fox's entire body did not return to normal; instead, it was shrouded in a newly surged purple fire, and its three fox tails were restlessly swaying.

It seemed related to the Purple Moon Heart Flame of the Purple Moon Flame Fox.

This actually made Ye Jingcheng quite expectant.

After setting up the Array to ensure no interruptions, he left the room.

He looked at the Clan Token; Ye Xuecang still hadn't responded. It was unclear whether he was in seclusion or couldn't think of a complete strategy.

Ye Jingcheng wasn't in a hurry either.

His courtyard had two rooms in total; he hung the seclusion sign outside the courtyard gate.

Then he entered the room.

He took out the Purple Jade Cold Bed, and as the purple cold air wafted up, a chill enveloped Ye Jingcheng's entire body, calming his slightly worried heart significantly.

With his Divine Sense Introspection, he could discover that within his Four Phase Purple Mansion, countless True Essence was gathering.

Especially the Water Phase True Essence, which significantly exceeded the other True Essence by a large margin.

All this True Essence had been absorbed by Ye Jingcheng through the Communication Beast technique, but he couldn't refine it before as he was searching for the True Monarch of Five Elements' inheritance and refining Spirit Pills.

His whole body also appeared to be radiant under the Four-Phase Spiritual Light, and even the True Essence was somewhat uncontrollable.

This was a sign of a breakthrough.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but smile a little.

He took out a Lingjing Pill from his pocket.

This Lingjing Pill was a Tier Three Wood Attribute Spirit Pill with the Lingjing Grass as its main ingredient.

For Ye Jingcheng, amongst his Five Phases, the Wood Phase was the weakest.

Now he only needed to supplement the Wood Phase, and the bottleneck at the Middle Stage of Purple Mansion would no longer be a concern.

With the Water Phase, Fire Phase, and Earth Phase driving it, breaking through wasn't difficult.

As the Lingjing Pill entered his mouth, a stream of pure Wood Attribute Spiritual Energy flowed into his body, triggering the operation of the Four Phase Celestial Cloud Scripture. Brilliant green Spiritual Light covered his entire body.

Yet, under Ye Jingcheng's perception, he still felt a slight coolness in his body's meridians.

He knew this was because the Water Phase True Essence was overwhelmingly strong...

...

In the blink of an eye, three years passed in cultivation.

On this day, Ye Jingcheng felt that the Wood Phase True Essence in his body had finally reached a certain level through his efforts, achieving a subtle balance in his Four Phase Purple Mansion.

At this point, Ye Jingcheng took out a Purple Essence Pill and swallowed it casually.

With the interaction of the Purple Essence Pill's medicinal power and True Essence, Ye Jingcheng felt the bottleneck within finally break.

The Four Elements Celestial Mansion became more consolidated and expanded in size, with countless Spirit Patterns glowing brightly.

The True Essence within his meridians surged like clouds, with immense momentum.

Ye Jingcheng opened his eyes, feeling a faint ripple of Spiritual Light uncontrollably spreading outward.

Simultaneously, his Divine Sense surged wildly like wild grass.

However, he didn't fully unleash his Divine Sense but directed it into the Grotto Heaven beside him.

After all, having just broken through with his Divine Sense, his control wasn't excellent. If other cultivators discovered him, it wouldn't be good.

"Finally broke through!" Ye Jingcheng retracted his multiplied Divine Sense and exhaled a long breath.

He felt the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture was somewhat showing signs of strain.

Although the cultivation technique was extremely profound, it was somewhat lacking due to its limitation to Four Phases when it came to transformation and balancing.

This deficiency cost Ye Jingcheng at least an extra year.

Fortunately, he still broke through to the Middle Stage of Purple Mansion.

This firmed Ye Jingcheng's resolve to find the Supreme Gold Spiritual Object before advancing to Golden Core.

By then, he would complete the Five Phase Purple Mansion, making cultivation more effective with half the effort.

After breaking through to Purple Mansion, Ye Jingcheng also started introspecting the Four Phase Purple Mansion, only to find the Celestial River Bead, Blazing Flame Fan, and Celestial Sand Seal nurtured within had become even more vibrant and extraordinary.

As Lifebound Magical Treasures, they were continuously refined in the Purple Mansion, accumulating Spiritual Might daily.

During breakthroughs, they could even enhance their power.

This is why top-tier cultivation techniques are often paired with corresponding Lifebound Magical Treasures.

Unfortunately, Ye Jingcheng hadn't yet gathered the materials for the Wood Element Lifebound Treasure, the Profound Wood Disc. Otherwise, with all four phases gathered, Ye Jingcheng wouldn't even fear facing a Late Stage of Purple Mansion opponent.

Then Ye Jingcheng took out the Five Elements Celestial Bead, but frustratingly, he still couldn't refine it.

This treasure had an even higher requirement for True Essence; even among Tier Three Top-Grade Treasures, it wasn't weak.

Ye Jingcheng's intention of mastering a Top-Grade Magical Treasure was unfulfilled, so he took out the Ice Phoenix Bead.

This treasure was acquired from defeating Xu Hanqing of the Xu Family. Not only is it a Tier Three High-Grade Treasure, but it also contains an Ice Bird Beast Spirit with Ice Phoenix Bloodline.

Its power definitely ranks at the top among Upper-Grade Magical Treasures.

This is why Ye Jingcheng's profound True Essence couldn't wield it.

But now, reaching the Middle Stage of Purple Mansion, Ye Jingcheng naturally wanted to give it a try.

As True Essence flowed into the treasure, a terrifying cold light descended immediately, with countless cold auras spreading, making the entire room like an Ice Coffin. Even a clear phoenix cry could be heard.

This delighted Ye Jingcheng instantly.

The treasure's power seemed even greater than he imagined.

He immediately started to refine it.

After half a day's refinement, Ye Jingcheng finally had some free time, first checking the Clan Token, finding surprisingly two pieces of news inside.

First, the Yan Kingdom seemed to be undergoing changes, with the Yuan Family taking action against the Taihang Mountain Range once again, and the Wei Family becoming mortal enemies with the Yuan Family.

The Jin Family withdrew from Taihang Commandery.

Furthermore, the Qinghe Sect was frequently targeting Taiqing Commandery now.

It seemed unsatisfied with the twenty-year Nascent Soul Assembly.

Though Nascent Soul cultivators enter seclusion for twenty years at a time, the Taiyi Sect's Nascent Soul cultivator hadn't even appeared, merely delivering a single strike.

To deter for over a decade was already remarkably effective.

Now, frequent small movements indicated that war might reignite.

Secondly, Ye Xuecang instructed Ye Jingcheng to visit the Celestial Cloud Islands before returning to Lingyun Peak.

Knowing this, Ye Jingcheng understood that perhaps Ye Xuecang was also without a solution and needed to discuss matters with him.

After all, that Master Tianfu was at the Middle Stage of Golden Core.

As an experienced Middle Stage Golden Core of a Great Sect, even Ye Xuecang going with the Earth Dragon Demon King couldn't guarantee victory.

Not to mention the Ye Family couldn't act recklessly.

As for other unrelated information, like the Earth Dragon Demon King returning to the Taihang Mountain Range, Ye Shengyi breaking through to Golden Core and going to guard the Star Sea Fruit town,

and the Cyan Spirit Trading Association capturing Demon Cultivators in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain.

Apart from this, Ye Haisheng, Ye Haifei, and Ye Xingliu all began seclusion to break through to Purple Mansion,

which was undoubtedly excellent news for the Ye Family.

But it also meant the Ye Family needed to lay low for a while.

After all, their core Foundation Establishment combat power was in seclusion now.

After clarifying the Ye Family's situation, Ye Jingcheng wanted to enter his Grotto Heaven to inspect further, estimating that his Spirit Beasts were impatient by now. Thankfully, he had prepared plenty of Demon Beast corpses and accompanying Spirit Pills, with Meat Ganoderma constantly supplying.

Plus, the Wood Demon, being quite intelligent, managed everything well with the Stone Spirit, minimizing potential issues.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng felt a surge of firelight, the temperature around him rising quickly.

Simultaneously, an astonishing amount of Fire Phase True Essence transmitted through his Beast Communication Pattern.

Ye Jingcheng's face instantly filled with joy; indeed, the Red Flame Fox had advanced and broken through!
