The yellow light of the sunset made the bamboo forest of Taihang Market especially long.

Ye Jingcheng walked out of the restaurant, his eyes filled with extreme satisfaction.

In this deal with Ye Jingteng, he had already gathered most of the spirit materials from Stone Square, and the few remaining ones were relatively common. Even if the Ye Family didn't have them now, they could be found with some effort.

Additionally, he gave Ye Jingteng the potion recipe for the advancement of the Tier Two Peach Wood Wood Demon Bloodline to exchange for it.

In the past, Ye Jingteng had some reservations and refused to some extent, but now the Jade Soul Pill is extremely popular within the Taiyi Sect, and both Supreme Taihao and Tianzhen Ascendant from Illusion Peak have arrived.

He now had no reservations; after a little drinking, he promised everything to Ye Jingcheng.

The stone road of Taihang Market was not regular; on the contrary, it was a bit crooked, making the market look like a slightly emerging mortal town.

It was much inferior to Taichang Market.

But under the sunset, the sense of blue sky and bamboo forest in Taihang Market, in Ye Jingcheng's view, was something Taichang Market could never compare to.

He slowly walked back to the Spirit Beast Shop. Under the sunset, the Ye Family's shop also became quiet, yet a Spirit-Blocking Robe Cultivator was still waiting at the door.

Ye Xinghong was also at the entrance of the shop at this moment, poking his head out, transmitting a strange expression toward him, and Ye Jingcheng instantly understood.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng approaching, the Spirit-Blocking Robe Cultivator walked forward immediately.

"Patriarch Ye, I have a business proposal to discuss with you," the person said in a very low voice.

"Oh, what kind of business," Ye Jingcheng responded without showing emotion.

"This place is not very convenient..."

"The main issue is timing. The Ye Family Tavern is opening tomorrow, and later, I have to host the honored guests from the Taiyi Sect. Why not discuss this with my uncle?" Ye Jingcheng tentatively suggested.

Upon hearing this, the person's face turned slightly unpleasant.

But upon hearing about the honored guests from the Taiyi Sect, he ultimately didn't lose his temper, merely nodded and stepped aside, seemingly truly waiting for Ye Xinghe.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng went directly into the room.

He was almost certain that the person before him was Xu Wenjin, the new Patriarch of the Xu Family.

In the coming years, before knowing the intentions of the Jin Family and Kong Family, he didn't want to communicate with the Xu Family.

Furthermore, now that Master Tianfu had taken him as a registered disciple, he had more leverage to boast.

At this time, uniting with the Xu Family against the Golden Core Clan, the Kong Family, was not wise.

Winning would certainly expose the Ye Family's strength, and more crucially, exposing it would not benefit the Ye Family at all.

However, being oppressed by the Kong Family and continuously enduring could cause the clan cultivators to lose confidence.

Refusing outright was not an option either; if there truly were problems, the Ye Family would still join hands.

But definitely not now.

And the Xu Family won't be easily eroded by the Kong Family anytime soon.

Ye Jingcheng entered the room and began researching the Ren Shui Pill formula.

Since he knew that the future would be turbulent, the best way to cope was to enhance his strength.

The night passed quickly.

As the morning light pierced through the bamboo forest, the entire Taihang Market began to bustle.

Especially in the tavern area of Taihang Market.

It was exceptionally lively, with the tavern adorned with red lanterns, the ground laid with red carpets. Even from a distance, the grand appearance of the tavern was visible.

Different from Taichang Market, Taihang Market didn't have a Golden Core Clan, and naturally couldn't have a four-layer building.

Plus, the Jin Family and Kong Family were only Purple Mansion Branches, and this situation would persist for a long time.

Several Ye Family cultivators stood on both sides, colorful clouds floating in the sky.

What was even more surprising was seeing eight Spirit Rats holding a Jade Disc, standing proudly in front of the tavern, remarkably human-like, showcasing the distinctiveness of the Ye Family.

On the Jade Disc held by the Spirit Rats were spirit fruits with rich spiritual energy, emitting enticing Spirit Fragrance.

At the tavern entrance, there was a long Eight Immortals Table.

On it were dozens of cups of Spring Tea and Yunfu Tea.

These spirit teas were meant for the guests later and were the best signature of the Ye Family Tavern.

A large group of cultivators soon gathered in front of the tavern.

"Thank you to fellow cultivators and seniors for gracing us with your presence. Today, the Ye Family Tavern is honored with your radiance, and now the time has come, I hope everyone will come inside!" Seeing the time arrive, Ye Jingcheng did not say much directly announcing the opening of the tavern.

This tavern opening was different from other ceremonies; it involved receiving fewer gifts and no cheering. If someone presented gifts, it was a bond; if not, the Ye Family would still be hospitable with them.

And guiding the cultivators was divided into several levels, with Ye Jingcheng responsible for cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage, Ye Xinghe for Late-stage Qi Cultivation Cultivators and some clan patriarchs at the Qi Cultivation stage.

Below that, Ye Jingli was in charge of welcoming the loose cultivators.

Initially entering were those who were arranged by the Ye Family and real loose cultivators, and once these people filled the first floor, it was then the turn of the small families.

Initially, some small families were still in a wait-and-see state. After all, the Ye Family was new in the tavern business, and although skilled in spiritual cuisine, many people thought it might not be good.

But seeing the place crowded, some loose cultivators were stunned and quickly rushed inside.

On the tavern's opening day, everything was half-priced, and lucky cultivators could receive an additional gift of two lengths of Red Section Fish.

At this moment, they were all worried about being late and missing all the benefits.

And after these small families were invited one by one, the Chen Family, Chu Family, and Xu Family appeared in the distance.

The Chu Family was represented by Chu Yanhao, also in the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment, while Xu Wenjin came for the Xu Family.

Both brought a gift, but their expressions differed, seemingly harboring significant concerns.
