In the grotto heaven, Ye Jingcheng took another sip of spirit tea, then let out a long sigh of relief.

He opened his hand and looked at two jade talismans and a bag, unable to suppress his delighted expression.

By now, he had completely inventoried all the treasures of the Nine Rivers Ascendant, leaving him with only a few tens of thousands of spirit stones.

Apart from the magical treasures, the most valuable thing was what lay before him.

A set of the Profound Wood Scripture, a top-grade profound tier cultivation technique that could be cultivated to the late stage of the Golden Core, and it's of wood attribute, with two lifebound magical treasures and three secret techniques.

Among them, there was one secret technique that Ye Jingcheng could use himself, which was the Wood Puppet Shadow Technique.

This Wood Puppet Shadow is not used for refining wood puppets but is akin to a guarding secret technique.

Placed in the forest, it appears like ordinary trees.

Yet it could monitor scenes from thousands of miles away.

Ye Jingcheng held the ancient bronze lamp and rode the four-colored cloud deer, and was recognized by the pursuing Taiyi Sect members only because the ancient bronze lamp lacked invisibility and was coincidentally spotted by the Nine Rivers Ascendant using the Wood Puppet Shadow.

However, this Wood Puppet Shadow can't be deployed too much, only two at a time, but even with just two, they were extremely convenient to Ye Jingcheng.

One could be placed at the Ye Family's concealed Insect Valley, thus better cultivating the Golden Light Spirit-Slaying Locust.

Of course, there are drawbacks, this Wood Puppet Shadow is also consumable, and based on material quality, once deployed, it can only last for about a year.

This Shadow Wood is also extremely precious, being a rare tier two spirit wood.

Ye Jingcheng had never heard of Shadow Wood before acquiring this Wood Puppet Shadow technique.

And in the Nine Rivers Ascendant's storage bag, there were only two unplanted stalks left.

As for obtaining more information about Shadow Wood through soul search, Ye Jingcheng had thought and even kept the corpse, unfortunately, it appeared the Nine Rivers Ascendant was subjected to a soul ban by the Qinghe Sect, and upon soul searching, the entire divine soul dissipated.

However, this Profound Wood Scripture is considered a good cultivation technique for the Ye Family.

Ye Jingcheng put away the first jade talisman, and the second jade talisman amazed him even more, it was the reason the Nine Rivers Ascendant could conceal his aura, the Withered Wood Concealing Qi Technique.

This cultivation technique has only one effect: transforming into a withered wood with no aura!

Of course, this Withered Wood Concealing Qi Technique cannot utilize mana, once mana is utilized it will become ineffective.

Combined with the Shadowless Daoist Robe, it's the reason the Nine Rivers Ascendant remained free and undetected until now.

Ye Jingcheng speculated that the Nine Rivers Ascendant must have obtained an extraordinary inheritance, to have established such a major name as a loose cultivator.

Beside him was a bag, which contained seeds of a vine named Jade Poison Vine.

This Jade Poison Vine is extremely venomous and is a tier three spirit vine.

For Ye Jingcheng, it's perfect to replace his previous Vajra Vine, refining a new Cyan Wood Spirit Seed.

After storing away both treasures, Ye Jingcheng cast another glance at the distant white-browed cyan wolf, which at this moment was covered in bruises and had blood marks in several places.

Looking at the Golden Scale Beast, its eyes were utterly submissive!

That pair of white eyebrows appeared slightly aggrieved, while the Golden Scale Beast beside it was very excited.

It had to be said, training and taming indeed required a Golden Scale Beast.

Ye Jingcheng threw a Spirit Cultivation Pill to the Golden Scale Beast and then exited the grotto heaven.

As he walked out into the yard again, the spirit field had already been tilled, and quite a few spring tea seeds had been planted.

Though his yard's spiritual energy was sufficient for cultivating tier two spiritual medicine without any problem.

But for Ye Jingcheng, the lush green spirit tea was preferable, the most crucial point being he didn't have enough time to tend to them.

Ye Jingcheng took in the Jade Ring Rat and the Earthworm as well, then exited the array, heading towards the family's spirit medicine garden.

On Lingyun Peak, the Ye Family had a total of three spirit medicine gardens.

Two tier one spiritual medicine gardens, and one tier two spirit medicine garden.

As for tier three spirit medicine gardens, the Ye Family currently didn't have any.

One reason was that the spiritual vein of the Ye Family's Lingyun Peak was barely tier three; secondly, the Ye Family outwardly remained a Foundation Establishment clan, unsuitable for planting too much tier three spiritual medicine.

Even if they had tier three spiritual medicine, it was placed in the tier two spirit medicine garden.

Or else it would be openly inviting high-tier tribulation cultivators to come and snatch the spiritual medicines.

Many families in the Cultivation Realm have avoided trouble not because their powers are exceptionally strong, but because they are sufficiently discreet, and treasures are extremely well-hidden.

Ye Jingcheng heard that, occasionally, elders from major sects would moonlight as tribulation cultivators.

For the Ye Family, this was understood deeply.

The high-tier spiritual medicines of the Ye Family were mostly hidden in the Turtle Ancestor's Ye Shen Valley.

If not for Ye Shen Valley, Ye Jingcheng estimated the Turtle Ancestor had a tier four Spiritual Eye Spring, with cultivation speed likely increasing severalfold.

This is also why, despite the Turtle Ancestor's not-so-impressive abilities, he remained exceedingly revered among some elders of the Ye Family.

At this moment, in one spirit medicine garden of the Ye Family, Ye Jingyu was instructing several Ye Family members on the cultivation techniques for spirit plants.

And among the spirit plants, conspicuously was a tier two Yunfu Tea Tree cultivated by Ye Xinghan.

"This spirit tea tree may be the easiest to cultivate, yet there are numerous intricacies. A top-grade spirit plant master can increase spirit tea yield by thirty percent, whereas a lower-grade spirit plant master might reduce it by thirty percent!"

"This tier two Yunfu Tea costs nearly a hundred spirit stones per ounce, raising thirty percent or lowering thirty percent equates to sixty percent, so you can imagine how significant the difference would be!"

"In the art of cultivating spirit tea, it may seem like merely watering, fertilizing, and spirit raising, but there are detailed classifications such as topping, sealing spirit, leaf opening, root nurturing, aroma enhancement..." Ye Jingyu explained one by one.

Even Ye Jingcheng found himself a bit lost upon hearing the higher-level techniques regarding spirit plant cultivation.
