Chapter 460: Chapter 399: The Golden Scale’s Promise, Yuan and Wei Arrive (2-in-1)
Seeing the three inner cores, the Golden Falcon felt so excited that it didn’t know how to flap its wings.
“Master…” it let out a long cry.
Its eyes were full of spiritual light.
“Without breaking through to Tier Three, wait to be tormented further!” Ye Jingcheng didn’t say much. He reached out his hand, and the half-human-sized Golden Falcon perched on it. Yet, the Golden Falcon kept its wings feathered so well that Ye Jingcheng couldn’t feel any force, and there was even a lift.
Ye Jingcheng first infused Treasure Light into the Golden Falcon. After infusing the Treasure Light, he then took the Golden King Pill, followed by the Golden Falcon Pill and the Tier Three Demon Beast Inner Core.
This time, Ye Jingcheng did not hold back in giving Treasure Light, infusing two whole pages worth of it into the Golden Falcon.
After so many years, he also discovered that Treasure Light could also protect and facilitate the digestion of Spiritual Medicine and Elixirs.
Therefore, as long as there was enough Treasure Light infused, there was no worry about his Spirit Beast being overwhelmed.
However, ordinarily, Ye Jingcheng wouldn’t do this, as it would be wasteful.
But at this moment, the Golden Falcon needed stimulation.
Only then could it maximize its potential and quickly break through to a Tier Three Great Demon.
Once the Golden Falcon breaks through, with his Purple Sun Demon Corpse and the Golden Falcon together, he would essentially have self-defense capabilities at the Early Stage of the Purple Mansion, and even severely injure or kill some weaker Purple Mansion Cultivators.
After the Golden Falcon finished consuming, it immediately took to the sky, landing on the pavilion’s roof atop the mountain peak.
This scene made the three Spirit Beasts, except the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon, emit low murmurs of envy.
Compared to cultivators, Demon Beasts have emotions that are much more straightforward. When they like something, they like it; when they desire something, they desire it.
Of these, the Golden Scale Beast was the most.
“If you can master the Special Breathing Technique, you’ll be the first to advance!” Ye Jingcheng looked at the Golden Scale Beast as it dragged its two thick front legs forward, rubbing its forehead against Ye Jingcheng’s pant leg.
Its shameless appearance, only wanting to break through with pills, left Ye Jingcheng somewhat helpless.
He opened his mouth directly and spoke.
Regarding the Special Breathing Technique of the Golden Scale Beast, Ye Jingcheng had only seen it on the Golden Scale Beast, so he was very attentive to it.
Upon hearing Ye Jingcheng’s words, the Golden Scale Beast’s intelligent eyes turned, and it quickly nodded.
It sprinted towards the barren land and began its day-after-day cultivation once more.
And Ye Jingcheng turned his gaze to the Meat Ganoderma, which was still only the size of a basin.
It wasn’t that the Meat Ganoderma wasn’t growing flesh, but rather the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon was eating too much, and now the growth of the Meat Ganoderma was entirely controlled by several Spirit Beasts.
Ye Jingcheng also had to prioritize the breakthrough of the Meat Ganoderma. Otherwise, to continue the rapid growth of his Spirit Beasts, he would waste a significant amount of Spirit Stones.
Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but shake his head as he suddenly realized he seemed to have become a mad Alchemy machine.
He laughed, poured himself a cup of Spirit Tea, and set up an Array near the Golden Falcon.
Although with so much Treasure Light, there was a minimal chance that the Golden Falcon would encounter problems; even if problems arose, the Divine Soul would sense it.
But Ye Jingcheng was still a bit uneasy and decided to observe for at least half a day.
After all, this was a breakthrough to Tier Three, and Ye Jingcheng was also about to break through to the Purple Mansion, so observing might not be a bad thing.
Watching the Golden Light spreading over the pavilion, sipping Spring Tea and savoring the lingering taste in his throat, his words were all filled with the fragrance of spring tea, an eternally enchanting experience.
Beside the tea, he also took out several Apricot Fruits, all harvested from Ye Haiyun’s Spiritual Apricot Tree, none of which he sold or shared with others.
Instead, he enjoyed the astringent taste of the Apricot Fruits alone.
Just like the cultivation process, it is rarely pleasant, but growing and becoming strong from the astringency is what truly matters.
Ye Jingcheng watched for half a day, feeling the Golden Falcon’s Divine Soul beginning to transform, and even the Soul Contract seemed to waver.
Ye Jingcheng finally understood why the family would repeatedly emphasize to the Ye Family Members to be cautious when Spirit Beasts were breaking through.
Now, his Soul Contract was already showing signs of wavering, and if it were a Blood Contract, that would certainly be possible.
Ye Jingcheng found it curious but soon left the Grotto Heaven with the Crimson Flame Fox.
Once outside the Grotto Heaven, a few Sound Transmission Talismans had fallen in his courtyard.
These were yellow normal talismans, not indicating any urgent matters. Ye Jingcheng pushed open the courtyard, took down the talismans, and after reading them, he was somewhat delighted.
Among the messages were a few concerning the family’s revenue over the past year.
Another message noted that Ye Xingyi had returned and brought back the Spiritual Medicines Ye Jingcheng had exchanged from the Taiyi Sect.
The Rejuvenating Flower and Soul Nourishing Grass were invaluable treasures for Ye Jingcheng.
With these two Spiritual Grasses, he could commence refining the Purple Spirit Concentration Liquid and be ready to deploy the Five Elements Celestial Secret Technique at any time.
Ye Jingcheng changed into a fresh set of clothes. This time, Ye Xingyi did not return alone; Cultivators from the Wei Family and Yuan Family of Taichang Commandery accompanied him for a visit.
This made Ye Jingcheng somewhat hesitant.
After all, the Wei and Yuan Families are Foundation Establishment Clans, with reportedly five or six Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the clan, and perhaps even secretly becoming Purple Mansion Clans.
It was strange for them to visit the Ye Family’s mountain gate.
In fact, the Yuan and Wei Families should have gone to the Jin Family’s branch on Cyan Willow Mountain.
Ye Jingcheng didn’t understand but proceeded to the Assembly Hall.
Upon reaching the hall entrance, Ye Jingcheng first looked over at Ye Jingyun.
Yesteryear, Ye Xingliu assisted in handling some clan affairs, but now Ye Jingyun had taken over.
Ye Jingcheng trusted Jing Yun significantly. Although the latter sometimes lacked flexibility, the Ye Family’s status had diminished greatly from a Purple Mansion Clan to a Foundation Establishment Clan.
Furthermore, the invisible pressure from figures like Master Tianfu and Supreme Taihao’s expressions toward the Ye Family had vanished without a trace.
Everything was going smoothly; restoring the Ye Family’s former prosperity was merely a matter of time, thus requiring minimal handling from Jing Yun.
If the Ye Family had a few more Tier Two Alchemists, the business in Taihang Market would likely increase further.
Currently, the Jin Family monopolizes the Artifact Refining business in Taihang Market, while the remaining business falls back to the Ye Family.
Even the Earth Fire Room revenue in Taihang Market is now under the Ye Family’s command.
Nevertheless, Ye Jingcheng knew that when the Yuan and Wei Families appeared, the profits would inevitably have to be shared out.
The Yuan and Wei Families delaying this long to visit was indeed a good gesture toward the Ye Family.
“Patriarch, Patriarch Yuan and Patriarch Wei are waiting in the side hall, and Uncle Xingyi is entertaining them.” Ye Jingyun spoke.
Speaking these words made him somewhat lack confidence, as he was still at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer and hadn’t reached Foundation Establishment.
He needed to wait six more years for the auction to reach Foundation Establishment, but his age couldn’t afford him to wait that long.
“Alright, I’ll head to the side hall then!” Ye Jingcheng said directly, walking towards the side hall.
Ye Jingcheng hadn’t allowed them to conduct discussions in the main hall, as inviting them there would imply the Ye Family held a superior position.
Even if the Yuan and Wei Families agreed, the current Ye Family couldn’t act this way.
Otherwise, it would entirely contradict the notion of decline.
Ye Jingcheng arrived at the side hall, only to see Ye Xingyi serving Yunfu Tea and Lush Forest Pig Spirit Cuisine, which the Ye Family also possessed, to the pair.
The three occasionally discussed matters regarding Taihang Market, while other times, they conversed about cultivation.
“Uncle Xingyi, Patriarch Yuan, Patriarch Wei, I’ve kept you waiting due to a period of seclusion.” Ye Jingcheng cupped his hands.
Patriarch Yuan, named Yuan Haoyun, was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the middle stage, a slender middle-aged cultivator. On the other hand, Wei Yunchang was quite the opposite, bearing some resemblance to Ye Xinghe of the Ye Family. Both stood up, returning the gesture to Ye Jingcheng.
“No rush, no rush, just in time. We were learning from Ye Daoist’s guidance, reaping great benefits!” Wei Yunchang spoke smoothly, exuding respect in his words.
However, Ye Jingcheng wasn’t like Ye Jingteng, and he wouldn’t underestimate or trust them entirely because of these compliments.
