Taichang Mountain Range, a sub-peak of Illusion Peak.

Ye Jingteng woke up from his cultivation, the cyan sword light burst around him, and a not-so-weak ripple spread outwards.

Immediately afterward, his divine sense expanded around him.

One zhang, three zhangs, ten zhangs, a hundred zhangs...

"This late stage of Foundation Establishment is truly mysterious!" The next moment, the joy in Ye Jingteng's eyes could no longer be hidden, dissipating outward.

He stood up, and in the courtyard, he began to wield his sword.

Finally, with a pinch of finger techniques, the Cyan Yuan Sword Light appeared, transforming from one into three, three into nine.

A large rumbling sound could be heard from the distant wall.

"I'm sure even an ordinary strike at the Foundation Establishment Peak would be no more than this!" Ye Jingteng said confidently.

At this moment, he suddenly discovered that there was a Sound Recording Jade Talisman at the entrance of his cave dwelling.

He stood up and dusted off the little dust on him.

After neatly tying his long hair, he looked at the jade talisman. Once he knew Supreme Taihao was looking for him, his eyes once again filled with immense excitement.

He was able to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment thanks to Supreme Taihao, who gifted him three Cyan Essence Pills over the years.

Those were advanced spirit pills from Cyan Spirit Pills, even late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators would enhance their cultivation significantly after taking one.

Ye Jingteng quickly arrived at Supreme Taihao's Taihao Hall.

"Master!" Looking at Supreme Taihao sitting at the head of the hall, Ye Jingteng's eyes were fervent beyond measure.

He was now already in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, just one step away from owning his own hall.

Open the Purple Mansion Hall, establish the Golden Core Palace, and open the Nascent Soul Dao Field.

"Your family sent a letter saying there is an important matter to report, and your clansmen are in Taichang Market!"

"Thank you, Master, for informing me!" Ye Jingteng repeatedly cupped his hands in respect, but after expressing gratitude, he did not leave immediately, instead he continued to ask:

"Master, has my eleventh brother come out of seclusion?"

"Not yet, but you can go to Lingyun Peak to see him. My master sees his Alchemy Dao as excellent; if he breaks through the Purple Mansion, an opportunity may be given for him to become a registered disciple. But still, don't keep the elder waiting too long!" Supreme Taihao continued.

"Master, rest assured, my eleventh brother will surely seize this opportunity!" Ye Jingteng was overjoyed.

There was envy in his eyes, but also a sense of urgency.

The envy was for Ye Jingcheng's Spirit Body being so advantageous, even as the patriarch of the Ye Family, he could still be accepted as a registered disciple.

But at the same time, the urgency was that if he did not break through soon, he might be deemed lacking in potential by Master Tianfu.

Therefore, he went to Lingyun Peak to see Ye Jingcheng many times.

Even if Ye Jingyun and Ye Jingli tried to stop him, it was in vain.

After all, in his view, as long as Ye Jingcheng became a registered disciple of Master Tianfu, breaking through to the Golden Core might not be a problem. At that time, what need was there to be the patriarch?

Directly joining Taiyi Illusion Peak and taking control of a peak, who in the Ye Family would dare to oppose then?

Moreover, at that time, the Ye Family could leverage the power of the sect to assist the family, which is the true path for the family.

Ye Jingteng nodded immediately and headed down the mountain.

When Ye Jingteng disappeared into the wilderness, Supreme Taihao sent a spirit talisman toward a higher peak.

The talisman traveled rapidly and soon landed on the clouds atop the mountain.

...

Taichang Market, One Leaf Pavilion, under the leadership of Ye Xingyi, the Ye Family's pill shop business was also getting better and better.

The flow of customers was quite steady.

There were even several people walking toward the second floor of One Leaf Pavilion.

After all, Ye Xingyi could now refine Blood Burst Pills and Jade Soul Pills.

Completely eliminating the impact of Ye Jingcheng's departure and with the Ye Family's tea gift strategy, the family's reputation was slowly rising again.

Ye Xingyi usually entered the second floor of the Pill Pavilion every day from the Ye Family's backyard, then stationed himself for several hours.

But today was an exception; he was sitting in the courtyard, drinking the family's Yunfu Tea with Ye Jingli.

"Jing Li, it seems Jing Hu has made a breakthrough, right?" Ye Xingyi guessed.

Ye Jingli rarely took out Yunfu Tea to drink.

After all, a few taels of Yunfu Tea cost dozens of Spirit Stones.

There must be some joyful news.

But current joyful news could only be thought of as a breakthrough by Ye Jingcheng or Ye Jing Hu.

If Ye Jingcheng had broken through, there would have been a ceremony notification sent today.

But since there was no ceremony, he could only guess it was Ye Jing Hu.

"Uncle Xingyi, recently the family's profit in the market reached twice as much as before, isn't this worth celebrating?" Ye Jingli waved his hand, still smiling.

Seeing this, Ye Xingyi already had the answer in his heart, but he didn't continue to ask more.

After a while, another spirit talisman appeared.

"Elder brother is here!" Ye Jingli immediately raised his hand and greeted, inviting Ye Jingteng, whose gaze had become more resolute, to the table.

"Jing Li, not bad, your cultivation has advanced again!" Ye Jingteng couldn't help but say.

"A minor breakthrough, just a minor breakthrough!" Ye Jingli laughed repeatedly.

But this laugh made the smile on Ye Jingteng's face fade a little, and his eyes were full of reminiscence.

If Ye Jingcheng were here, he would have noticed that Ye Jingteng had also made a breakthrough.

This phrase 'minor breakthrough' was supposed to be his line.

Moreover, cultivators in the family usually had techniques that were faster and with smaller bottlenecks.

Unlike sect cultivation techniques, they were deep and mysterious, often allowing one at the early stage of Foundation Establishment to contend with those in the middle stage.

"Elder brother, have some tea!" Ye Jingli poured spirit tea for Ye Jingteng.

The three of them sat down again.

"Jing Li, has Jingcheng not broken through yet?" Ye Jingteng asked Ye Jingli again.

"Not yet, breaking through the Purple Mansion indeed takes a long time. It's probably also due to the family not preparing enough spirit medicine. This time, Jiu and I are planning to buy some upper-grade Spirit Stones to return and re-arrange the Spirit Gathering Array!" Ye Jingli replied.

There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"Elder brother, the biggest problem for the Ye Family right now is the constant conflict between the Yuan Family and the Wei Family at Taihang Market, which has scared away many loose cultivators!"

"Moreover, we suspect that the Yuan Family was the mastermind behind the Spirit-Extinguishing Locust Plague back then!"

"Uncle Xingqun once saw Yuan Family cultivators sneaking into the Taihang Mountain Range at Void Spirit Ridge!" Ye Jingli took out a jade talisman.

Inside the jade talisman was a recorded scene of the Yuan Family entering Void Spirit Ridge back then.

At that time, the Yuan Family was dealing with the Spirit Locust, barely able to defend themselves!

And back then, the patriarch of the Yuan Family, Yuan Haoyun, repeatedly stated their ancestor was in secluded death meditation in the family.

"Elder brother, if we can topple the Yuan Family, Tai Cang Mountain, and the Yuan Family's years of savings could definitely elevate our Ye Family, the extra upper-grade Spirit Stones could help Jingcheng to break through, and you could gain some benefits, allowing you to advance further in the sect. At that time, with your talent, breaking through to the Purple Mansion or even the Golden Core would be nothing difficult!" Ye Jingli explained piece by piece according to Ye Jingcheng's prepared words.

Ye Jingteng's eyes lit up immediately.

But then he furrowed his brows.

"Simply, this doesn't prove much, does it..."

"Elder brother, this could prove that the Yuan Family was withholding, which might also have been to induce a Beast Tide; that would mean colluding with the Qinghe Sect, a serious crime. As for not admitting guilt, the Wei Family can find additional charges; they've been fighting for over ten years; if they have no evidence, they must be in cahoots!" Ye Jingli continued.

Hearing this, Ye Jingteng's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"Old Six, I didn't expect you to have such a clever moment. Elder brother will surely rid the family of this calamity; the family let me enter the Taiyi Sect precisely for this moment!" Ye Jingteng agreed immediately.

The three of them raised their glasses to drink together again.

For a while, the tea aroma became even more intense, floating in the courtyard, with all three smiling heartily.

After finishing the tea, Ye Jingteng returned to the Taiyi Sect, ready to summon some fellow disciples.

Ye Jingteng knew well the huge Yuan Family couldn't be devoured in one bite.

Of course, if the Wei Family and Yuan Family were indeed Qinghe Sect's spies, he must also be cautious of them possessing Purple Mansion cultivators.

And Fairy Liu Huan, who recently broke through the Purple Mansion, was the one he planned to invite this time; she had just broken through, was short of Spirit Stones, and her combat power was strong.
