Passing through the underground corridor, Ye Jingcheng once again arrived in front of a palace.

Ye Xuecang's figure remained gaunt, and his eyes were bright.

Moreover, whether it was an illusion or not, Ye Jingcheng found that Ye Xuecang's figure gave him a faint and elusive feeling.

This feeling was extremely peculiar.

"Second Granduncle!" Despite his doubts, Ye Jingcheng bowed repeatedly in salute.

Ye Xuecang glanced at him, and his previously stern expression seemed to relax somewhat.

"Your cultivation is impressive, indeed you are the most suitable clansman for the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture in our family!"

"Second Granduncle flatters me!" Ye Jingcheng replied.

"No need to be overly modest, even Xingliu praises you to no end!"

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng nodded, eventually not being overly modest again.

"This time we called you here, you should know, regarding your achievements, the family intends to award you one hundred and fifty thousand Contribution Points!" Ye Xuecang spoke, then took out a Storage Bag and handed it over.

"Thank you, Second Granduncle!" Ye Jingcheng accepted the Storage Bag, a face full of joy.

Ye Xuecang was somewhat surprised, for although one hundred and fifty thousand Contribution Points were considerable, it was certainly for bringing back the Gold Condensing Fruit, Gold Condensing Fruit Tree, and the Five Elements Celestial Secret Technique.

That amount of Contribution Points was absolutely nothing.

"You don't think the Contribution Points are too little?"

"Replying to Second Granduncle, one hundred and fifty thousand is already an astronomical amount of Contribution Points, enough for Jingcheng to use for several decades."

Ye Jingcheng shook his head, speaking sincerely. In fact, looking at this Secret Realm expedition, he indeed made significant contributions, but he also knew that the Ye Family's cooperation was the most crucial.

Whether it was the Tier Two Peak Spirit Beast, Red Golden Roc, Tier Two Late-stage Spirit Beast, Li Fire Cyan Ox and Mei Yuhe, among others.

Or various Talisman Treasure Spiritual Artifacts, one-time-use Thunder Tribulation Beads.

They all played a decisive role.

Not to mention the emerging Demon King's support, and the Concealment Potion called Forget Dust Pill, these were potential factors.

Of course, besides these, he had great confidence in the Storage Bag given by Ye Xuecang.

"Take a look at the Storage Bag!" Ye Xuecang spoke again upon seeing this.

Ye Jingcheng nodded and inspected the Storage Bag.

The Storage Bag was unclaimed, and Divine Sense could sweep into it at a glance.

At the next moment, his face was astonishing, as he saw inside the Storage Bag, there were four different attribute Tier Three Demon Beast Inner Cores, one each!

Perfectly corresponding to his four types of Spirit Beasts.

Just these Tier Three Demon Beast Inner Cores, each was worth fifty to sixty thousand Spirit Stones, totaling two hundred thousand Spirit Stones in value.

With these four Inner Cores, his several Spirit Beasts, as long as their cultivation is reached, had an extremely high possibility of breaking through to Tier Three Purple Mansion Great Demon.

It should be noted his three Spirit Beasts had advanced bloodlines twice, with immense potential.

Among which, the fire attribute Tier Three Demon Beast Inner Core, Ye Jingcheng was quite familiar with, clearly the Inner Core of the Tier Three Fire-Devouring Sparrow that Ye Haicheng managed to slay during the Secret Realm expedition.

Besides the Jade Box containing the Inner Cores, there were also a few Jade Talismans inside.

The first Jade Talisman impressively contained the Pill Formula for the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but smile, as he had just found this Pill Formula recently.

Unexpectedly, the family also awarded him a copy.

And the second Jade Talisman contained the latter half of the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture.

The cultivation technique he obtained from the family's Treasure Tower only reached the Foundation Establishment Peak.

Previously, he had planned to ask Ye Haiping about the subsequent cultivation technique.

Unexpectedly, today the family proactively prepared it for him.

This latter half of the cultivation technique allowed cultivation to the Late Stage of Golden Core, and astonishingly included the Five Phases.

However, the Five Phases were not very useful to him, as he did not have a Golden Spirit Root and could not cultivate the Gold Phase.

But this cultivation technique also included methods to refine five Lifebound Magical Treasures.

Once he broke through to the Purple Mansion, he could use them.

Ye Jingcheng continued to look at the third Jade Talisman, which contained a similarly extraordinary Pill Formula named Dragon Blood Pill.

This pill could enhance a cultivator's physique and Blood Qi.

For cultivators, it wasn't very significant, but for Demon Beasts, it greatly increased their chances of breakthrough.

With these Dragon Blood Pills and Inner Cores, the chance for his Spirit Beasts to break through to the Purple Mansion would increase dramatically.

And with Spirit Beast breakthroughs, it would, in turn, benefit the cultivator.

"You don't need Magical Treasures for now, so none have been prepared for you. Once you reach the Purple Mansion, the family will prepare them for you!" Ye Xuecang smiled in response to Ye Jingcheng's elation.

"In addition, as the Patriarch, keep this Jade Talisman with you, it enables you to contact me anytime in the future, and once you're in the Purple Mansion, the family will let you enter the Beast Communication Tower again!"

"Second Granduncle, can the Beast Communication Pattern be enhanced?" Ye Jingcheng was taken aback.

"No, the Beast Communication Pattern only appears once, like a Spirit Root, it's predestined. However, as Spirit Beasts strengthen, the Beast Communication Pattern may fail to bear the burden, entering the Beast Communication Tower can increase its capacity!" Ye Xuecang did not conceal this time.

Ye Jingcheng, as the Patriarch, was responsible for reviewing family members and presiding over the Communication Beast Ceremony in the future.

Ye Xuecang handed Ye Jingcheng a Jade Talisman.

"Alright, take this Jade Talisman, and continue your cultivation!"

"Thank you, Second Granduncle!" Ye Jingcheng thanked once more.

"Second Granduncle, may I be so bold as to ask, what kind of family is our Ye Family!"

"A Purple Mansion, but also a Golden Core family!" Ye Xuecang spoke ambiguously.

Ye Jingcheng was stunned, but seeing Ye Xuecang close his eyes, he knew it was time to leave.

He clasped his fists again before leaving Lingyun Lake.

Leaving Lingyun Lake, Ye Jingcheng headed towards the Earth Fire Room.

Watching the distant hall, Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

Upon entering the hall, Ye Haitian remained at his table.

He appeared even older, reminiscent of Ye Haiyun from three years earlier.

He habitually propped himself up, occasionally inscribing something onto the Jade Talisman in his hand.

Ye Haitian was also an Alchemy Master, and it seemed he was currently carving some insights.

Nearby on the table was an object, a bell, placed there.

The bell he once regarded as a treasure now seemed somewhat neglected.

"Grandpa Nine!" Ye Jingcheng spoke softly.

Alongside, the bell began to shake too.

The bell was a timing artifact that would ring automatically.

Clearly, it was time for the Earth Fire Room's shift change.

Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but sigh, realizing that nothing was immune to the effects of time.

Previously, Ye Haitian would have already begun urging, ensuring he still had time to inspect the Earth Fire.

But today, he only wished to contribute once more to the family before his life came to an end.

"Grandpa Nine, I'm here to refine pills!" Ye Jingcheng spoke softly.

In the distance, Ye Haitian hesitated, then seemed somewhat flustered, as he began to release Spiritual Light.

For a moment, he appeared like a normal middle-aged cultivator.

But that appearance, however, was easily seen through by Ye Jingcheng.

His expression unchanged, as if unaware.

He picked up the Spirit Fish and Jade Wave Wine Yunfu Tea, and walked forward.

If it had been three days ago, he might have advised Ye Haitian, but he suddenly realized it might be a relief from toil for Ye Haitian to depart earlier.

For a cultivator, gaining three more years of life without breaking through the Foundation Establishment was the greatest cruelty!
