As the clan meeting concluded, Lingyun Peak also quieted down, with a faint mist rising in the sky.

Making the entire Lingyun Peak appear even more mysterious.

In Ye Xingliu's courtyard, many of the Ye family's senior members were gathered at this moment.

Also gathered were the senior cultivators of the Ye family along with Ye Jingcheng, Ye Jingli, and others.

Unlike Ye Xingyi and Ye Jingyong, who immediately went into seclusion to break through to Foundation Establishment, Ye Jingli was not in a hurry since he had just recently advanced to the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer.

His eyes also held hope because this time, he had obtained another spirit beast.

This spirit beast was newly captured by the Ye family.

A Red Flame Python.

"Patriarch, this Red Flame Python is thicker than the previous Cyan-Scaled Python, its talent can't be bad!" Ye Jingli couldn't help but look at Ye Jingcheng.

He wasn't highly knowledgeable about spirit beasts, and he didn't believe the words of others in the Ye family, only trusting Ye Jingcheng.

However, Ye Jingcheng couldn't use the Treasure Book to judge at this moment, because the Red Flame Python had already been contracted by Ye Jingli.

But judging from its appearance and the spiritual power of the Red Flame Python, it was definitely stronger than the Cyan-Scaled Python, which hadn't even entered Ye Jingcheng's Treasure Book.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng nod, Ye Jingli was overjoyed. In his view, Ye Jingcheng's nod was a guarantee, not knowing that Ye Jingcheng only nodded but was somewhat uncertain.

At this time, Ye Xingqun also walked over.

"Patriarch, all nineteen spirit beasts have consumed the shards of the Fire Sincerity Pill."

"Then let's begin the test!" Ye Jingcheng nodded.

Immediately, all the owners of the spirit beasts began to step forward and control their spirit beasts to breathe fire.

Most fire attribute spirit beasts with potential could unleash spiritual fire.

Yet the power of the spiritual fire varied greatly.

And Ye Jingcheng was truly powerless against these spirit beasts that already had owners.

He could only wait for the test results.

The Ye family's testing was quite simple—after consuming the shards of the Fire Sincerity Pill, any spirit beast that couldn't even control the stability of its spiritual fire was directly eliminated.

Such spirit beasts carried risks.

"That Fire Barbarian Rat won't cut it!" Ye Jingcheng stated.

Before a member of the Jing Generation, his Fire Barbarian Rat was the first to lose control, the flames fluctuating wildly, and its body's surface turned a ghastly fiery red, its eyes a blood-red shade, clearly showing poor endurance.

Following the failure of the Fire Barbarian Rat, a large number of spirit beasts were eliminated one after another.

The Fire Sincerity Pill was effective, but its drawbacks were significant, and the Ye family had to be cautious.

As a stick of incense time passed, only five out of the nineteen spirit beasts remained.

Among them was Ye Jingli's Red Flame Python.

"Settled!" Ye Jingli smiled as well.

The Red Phosphorus Fire Python was now at the mid-stage of the First Tier, and with careful nurturing, it could soon reach the late stage.

"Have them start consuming the Fire Sincerity Pill!" Ye Jingcheng announced once more.

At the same time, Ye Xingqun also dispersed those spirit beasts and clan members who didn't receive the Fire Sincerity Pill.

Their spirit beasts lacked opportunities, and there was no need for them to continue observing since it was a family secret.

As the five spirit beasts respectively consumed the Fire Sincerity Pill and the Vein-Protecting Pill, three different scenarios emerged instantly.

The Red Flame Python and a Purple Fire Celestial Ox emitted low beast roars, but countless streams of spiritual energy surged towards them, forming a vortex, while spiritual light spread across their surfaces.

It seemed like they were about to make an advancement breakthrough.

This immediately delighted Ye Jingli and Ye Jingyun.

The Purple Fire Celestial Ox belonged to Ye Jingyun, another Pill Master of the Ye family.

He was currently at the bottleneck of being a Tier One Middle-grade Spirit Pill Master, and if the Purple Fire Celestial Ox could break through, becoming a Tier One High-grade Alchemist was indeed a certainty.

He returned from Taichang Market, also granted the Beast Communication Pattern, though he hadn't yet communicated with beasts.

Although he didn't have the Five-Inch Beast Pattern, he possessed two three-inch patterns and two one-inch patterns, which were considered even better than Ye Jingli's Beast Communication Talent.

Among the remaining three spirit beasts, one Three-Color Fire Finch and one Cyan Fire Scorpion had little reaction, only greatly enhanced auras without spreading spiritual light.

However, the aura grew significantly, and even if the bloodline didn't advance, the breakthrough wouldn't be too far off.

As for the last Fire Leopard, its blood vessels instantly became incredibly enlarged, and if not for the Vein-Protecting Pill's support, it might have exploded on the spot.

But injury and weakened aura were inevitable.

Its owner was also instantly disappointed.

However, the family had already informed them that they wouldn't argue further.

Ye Jingcheng stepped forward, feeding the Fire Leopard a Pill and gently stroking its head, infusing some treasure light.

For the Ye family's leaders, it wasn't a secret that Ye Jingcheng's Spirit Body could heal spirit beasts' injuries.

So Ye Jingcheng had no need to hide it.

For the Ye family, this experiment was evidently a great success.

The Fire Sincerity Pill enhanced bloodlines, and if successful, it could grant the Red Flame Python and the Purple Fire Celestial Ox the potential to become Tier Three Purple Mansion Great Demons.

Of course, to rapidly become a Tier Three Great Demon, a Tier Two Bloodline Advancement Pill was still needed.

For Ye Jingcheng, what he needed to research next was simply the Tier One Golden Scale Pill and Jade Qilin Pill.

The breakthrough in the Ye family's spirit pills instantly elevated Ye Jingcheng's prestige another notch, but right now, the most important thing for the Ye family was the opening of the Ye Family Tavern.

Ye Jingcheng currently held a Jade Talisman in his hand.

This time the invited cultivators came very smoothly; not only would Liu Huan come, but so would Tianzhen Ascendant and Supreme Taihao, and, of course, also his elder brother.

As for the Jin family, Jin Yutang would also attend.

Regarding the Kong family, there were no invitations from the Ye family.

The Ye family and the Kong family had long fallen out at Chixia Ridge, with no chance of reconciliation.

Moreover, now that the Ye family occupied the Li family's territory and bordered the Mo family's Cyan Willow Mountain and Cyan Willow Lake area, with the Kong family occupying Cyan Willow Mountain, the situation became even more unstable.

Naturally, the Ye family wouldn't send a letter of invitation to them.

"Patriarch, you should set out tomorrow. I'll take care of this side of the family!" Ye Xingliu also spoke up.

Having now stepped down as the patriarch, his burden was lighter, and he was also preparing to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Ye Jingcheng looked at this enviously, but he understood that he had to attend the opening of the family tavern.

As for his own cultivation, he was waiting for the breakthroughs of the Red Flame Fox and the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon, the former having already consumed the second Fire Beast Pill, making its Fire Attribute Spiritual Power increasingly pure and condensed.

As for the latter, he had attempted to refine the Ren Shui Pill once; although he failed, he had gleaned some insights. Perhaps during his time at Taihang Market, he could successfully refine it.

Of course, at that moment, he was looking forward to the Stone Square Spiritual Materials that Ye Jingteng would bring him.

If well-matched, giving the Stone Spirit another advancement could expedite its spiritual wisdom, and potentially expand the entire Grotto World Space.

Although his grotto was sizable now, when releasing a few spirit beasts and planting a patch of Spirit Field, it felt somewhat small again.

Not to mention, he also desired to open a Spirit Lake within the grotto.

After all, he very much wanted to cultivate the Star-Feeding Fish!
