After the rainy early spring, the fragrance of flowers gradually faded with the spring rain, turning instead into a subtle fragrance of tea.

Ever since the Ye Family announced their intention to open a restaurant, the entire mountain peak has been planted with a significant amount of Spring Tea.

At this moment, it was the time when spirit grass and spirit tea were growing rapidly.

In the Spirit Beast Valley, excited roars of beasts echoed constantly, and occasionally, birds could be seen chasing each other, soaring across the sky.

Evidently, even demon beasts enjoy the spring.

The water level of the Spirit Lake at the mountain top had risen considerably, yet it remained crystal clear.

Within, one could vaguely see schools of Red Section Fish swimming together in groups.

"Second Ancestor!" Ye Jingcheng bowed and sent out a Sound Transmission Talisman.

The talisman disappeared above the Spirit Lake, and soon the lake parted, revealing a shadow of the world beneath the lake.

Ye Xuecang had already been waiting inside, along with a large, disk-sized pale Profound Turtle.

This turtle even had a tuft of whiskers, looking somewhat comical.

But Ye Jingcheng dared not underestimate it, as this turtle clearly resembled the Turtle Ancestor.

For some Purple Mansion Great Demons or special large-scale demon beasts, they can control their size at will once reaching a certain level.

"Come in!" Ye Xuecang said.

Ye Jingcheng nodded and walked into the lake. The parted lake closed, revealing an underground square and hall. Even though he had visited many times, Ye Jingcheng still found it quite wondrous.

He felt as if this was a grotto heaven within the lake.

"This is a combination of a natural array and a postnatal illusion array within an array. You think you entered the lake, but you didn't!" Noticing Ye Jingcheng's confusion, Ye Xuecang, this time, revealed the truth to him without hiding anything.

"Second Ancestor, then what about the True Masters from that day?" Ye Jingcheng was still somewhat puzzled. Many True Masters and Purple Mansion Ascendants had been here.

"That's related to the Little Cyan Turtle!" Ye Xuecang pointed at the Turtle Ancestor beside him.

The Turtle Ancestor possesses a grotto heaven, something Ye Jingcheng had known before.

Ye Jingcheng also suddenly understood.

When other families came to investigate, if the Profound Turtle devoured it, nothing would be wrong.

"The family's Beast Communication Tower can sense the unique divine souls of cultivators, so the family never worries about not being on time!" Ye Xuecang surprisingly revealed the wonders of the Beast Communication Tower.

Ye Jingcheng nodded upon hearing this.

He had experienced the wonders of the Beast Communication Tower before, and he felt that the divine soul power of the tower was not weak. So, he sometimes pondered what exactly Beast Communication Pattern was.

However, with his current thinking, he was still far from understanding thoroughly.

"Let's wait for two more people!" Ye Xuecang said beside him, also handing over a cup of Spirit Tea.

This surprised Ye Jingcheng a bit. He felt that this Spirit Tea was Tier Two Spirit Tea, quite precious. Though he did not recognize it, generally, a couple of ounces of Tier Two Spirit Tea could cost hundreds of Spirit Stones.

Unlike Tier One Spirit Tea, which grows profusely and blooms densely.

In contrast, Tier Two Spirit Tea blooms less frequently, and the quantity available for picking is limited, far exceeding the value of Tier One.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng not accepting it, Ye Xuecang continued:

"This Spirit Tea is the Tier Two Yunfu Tea from the Buqing Mountain of the Li Family, capturing the essence of half a day of leisure. Its flavor and taste are unique. You performed well this time, and the family rewarded you with five thousand Contribution Points. You can get some from Haiping!"

"Second Ancestor overpraises me!" Ye Jingcheng then accepted the Spirit Tea, yet his face remained humble.

He didn't think that just because the family rewarded him with five thousand Contribution Points, his contribution was that significant.

The main reason was the family's flawless strategy. This time, regarding the Mo Family and the expedition to the East Sea, his contribution involved only three Spirit Beasts and a significant amount of Spirit Pills he refined.

The Yunfu Tea appeared light yellow, and bringing it to the nose gave a sense of lightness.

With one sip, the tea fragrance and spiritual energy flooded into his body simultaneously, making even his divine soul feel extremely relaxed. Not to mention his wood element spiritual energy started to grow, benefiting his cultivation considerably.

Ye Jingcheng suddenly became very interested in Yunfu Tea.

With his ample Contribution Points now, if the tea could aid his wood phase spiritual energy, he naturally wanted to acquire some more; ultimately, cultivation is paramount for any cultivator.

Moreover, at this moment, he slightly anticipated the return of the three Spirit Beasts and his Soul Split. Currently, nurturing the Red Flame Fox was of utmost importance.

Next, even if unable to gather the last magic herb for the Tier Two Red Flame Pill, he must find a way to elevate the Red Flame Fox to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment. This would increase his chances of advancing the Communication Beast Wood Demon and the Three-Colored Cloud Deer to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Although the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture emphasized the balance of four elements, ultimately, he used high-tier spiritual energy to facilitate cultivation.

Of course, he also desired to merge with the Soul Split to explore conditions at the East Sea.

Not long after, the lake parted again, and two black-robed cultivators walked in.

"Second Uncle!" This time, clearly, those who entered were from the Sea Generation.

Most likely, they were Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the family's Seven Great Hidden Peaks.

"Were you not tracked?"

"I used the Black Moon Wolf for scouting; there shouldn't be any." The black-robed cultivator spoke with some confidence.

However, Ye Xuecang still took out a mirror and reflected it onto them. After confirming no issues, he spoke:

"This is Jingcheng, a Spiritual Body Cultivator in the family."

"This is Haiyu and Haifei of the Black Moon Hideout." Ye Xuecang gave a simple introduction, then led the group with the Cyan Turtle further inside.

Passing through several halls, they arrived at a vast open space.

The clearing was evidently newly excavated, with ordinary mountain rocks surrounding it, from which beads of water were still seeping.

It seemed to be beneath the Spirit Lake, but it was actually within the mountain.

The entire hall's clearing was filled with Moonlight Stones, so it wasn't dim at all.

"Little Turtle, release it!" Ye Xuecang spoke.

As he spoke, the Profound Turtle blew its whiskers, seemingly displeased with being called this by Ye Xuecang, considering it was a turtle hundreds of years old.

In an instant, dazzling white light surged out, covering the clearing ahead, and then a huge teleportation array connecting many mountain rocks appeared on the clearing.

The teleportation array was made of a material Ye Jingcheng did not recognize, and the spiritual patterns on it were radiant and ancient, seemingly not arranged recently.

"You two, check this teleportation array and connect the void here!"

"Jingcheng, once the teleportation array is set up, use your Five Poison Bee to test the transmission!" Ye Xuecang instructed.

The teleportation array had been relocated through space, and it had been sliced with a single sword, so it couldn't be directly activated and the space itself had changed.

It naturally needed to be tested a few times.

The two elders of the Sea Generation were evidently Array Masters, both at least Tier Two High-grade Array Masters, otherwise, Ye Xingliu, a Tier Two Middle Array Master, wouldn't be absent.

And using the Five Poison Bee for testing was particularly simple, as it was agreed upon.

The most important aspect of the teleportation array's void connection was the Spatial Jade.

Only then followed the Void Nether Crystal.

This Spatial Jade was not natural; it required at least a Tier Five Array Master to master its refining, and the Ye Family naturally had no such expert.

So, the Spatial Jade and the teleportation array could only be taken by force.

This Spatial Jade not only connected the void but also allowed mutual sensing. As long as a mark was left, they could transport to each other, which was the greatest value of the teleportation array.

The Ye Family didn't dare to gamble on whether any other teleportation arrays were connected to this teleportation jade.

So each time a Five Poison Bee was sent, it served as a code.

The Ye Family on the other side would directly slaughter the Five Poison Bee, which was the greatest safety assurance, preventing a scenario like the Mo Family facing the Ye Family, where they wanted to kill the arrivals but were too late, having been countered by the Ye Family using Spirit Beasts from the Spirit Beast Bag.

Otherwise, the Ye Family wouldn't dare teleport over.

After all, the dizziness of teleportation affected even Golden Core Cultivators.

Fortunately, Ye Jingcheng had a Soul Split on the Five Poison Bee, which could help judge the situation.

The teleportation array was taken out, and Ye Haiyu and Ye Haifei were already positioned on either side of it.

They took out a considerable amount of materials.

This was to repair the damaged array foundation, and to re-carve the fallen spiritual patterns.

Previously, they went to purchase teleportation array materials from the Qinghe Sect's territory.

While the Ye Family couldn't refine the Spatial Jade of the teleportation array, Tier Two Array Masters could at least depict some other parts, and Ye Haiyun and Ye Haiyu were evidently Tier Two High-grade Array Masters, able to carve those other parts.

The process was fairly long and tedious. Ye Jingcheng watched for a while, but as he was not an Array Master, it was too obscure and difficult to understand, so he shook his head and began researching pill formulas instead.

He felt that compared to arrays, pill formulas were much simpler.

Another day passed, with Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xuecang waiting nearby.

The Profound Turtle didn't take long before it crawled out of the ground, seemingly venturing into the Spirit Lake to begin its feeding.

The Turtle Ancestor was indeed powerful, but its appetite was equally significant.

The brilliant Spiritual Light finally formed a circle, suddenly illuminating the entire underground hall, overshadowing even the glow of the Moonlight Stones.

Ye Haiyu and Ye Haicheng both breathed a sigh of relief together.

"Second Uncle, now we'll perform the spatial jade detection and adjustment, there might be some movement!" Ye Haiyu spoke.

Ye Xuecang waved his hand, taking out a set of Array Banners. In an instant, the array on Lingyun Peak seemed to change, and in the sky, rain seemed to gather.

Before long, Lingyun Peak began to drizzle.

The rain was heavy, accompanied by occasional thunder and lightning.

Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but fall silent. He suddenly thought about how on Lingyun Peak, the rain sometimes came too suddenly.

Evidently, it was also related to the array at Ye Family's Lingyun Peak, controlled by Ye Xuecang.

Under the heavy rain, everything would be concealed: sound, light!

And the Ye Family within the mountain.

"Begin!" Ye Xuecang directed.

"Yes!" Ye Haiyu and Ye Haifei nodded simultaneously and each took out a mysterious jade disc, beginning to channel Spiritual Techniques and Spiritual Light, directing them to the center of the teleportation array.

In an instant, an aura of heart-stopping intensity emanated from the teleportation array.

The ripple caused Ye Jingcheng's Divine Sense to not dare approach; he even felt that at that moment, his Divine Soul would be swept into the void.

Engaging with the void required at least a Nascent Soul True Monarch to handle.

Ye Jingcheng felt a twinge of fear, promptly retracting his Divine Sense.

And at this moment, the Spatial Jade emitted a column of light, soon disappearing into the void.

"The Spatial Jade inspection is complete, we can proceed with transmission testing now!"
