First, he wanted to prepare treasures and demon pills for the spirit beast to break through to the Purple Mansion.

Second, he needed to cultivate the Five Elements Celestial Secret Technique, which also required preparing some spirit medicines and treasures.

"Eighth Granduncle, please help me exchange for some spirit medicines, and for those unavailable, I ask you to help me collect them!" Ye Jingcheng was looking for the spirit medicines for the Tier Two Peach Wood Block this time.

The Peach Wood Demon had been prepared almost sufficiently over the years, and once the Spiritual Peaches were harvested this time, arrangements could be made for its advancement.

However, the Tier Two Peach Wood Block was also relatively hard to find, so Ye Jingcheng still needed help from the family.

Moreover, Ye Jingteng was also helping him in the search.

If the Spiritual Peaches produced by the Tier Two Peach Wood Demon increased lifespan, then perhaps some elder family members over sixty years of age in the Ye Family could attempt Foundation Establishment again.

Of course, the premise was that the lifespan extension provided by the Spiritual Peaches was long enough, and the fruiting speed was not too slow.

After storing the spirit medicines, Ye Jingcheng left the Treasure Pavilion and returned to his own courtyard.

Outside the courtyard, the Spirit Medicine Garden was being diligently guarded by the Jade Ring Rat, which was very pleased upon seeing Ye Jingcheng return.

"Perhaps, I'll need to find you a companion!" Ye Jingcheng murmured to himself, then gave two Spirit Cultivation Pills to the Jade Ring Rat and entered the courtyard.

Outside the Spirit Medicine Garden, the spirit medicines and Spirit Tea were now left to grow freely.

Fortunately, with the Earthworm and the Jade Ring Rat, he didn't need to manage them much.

But Ye Jingcheng hadn't refined an Advancement Pill for the Earthworm yet.

However, Ye Jingcheng's own Spirit Medicine Garden hadn't fully matured, and there weren't many spirit medicines in his Grotto Heaven, coupled with insufficient time, causing delays.

The apricot tree in the courtyard had already borne fruit, and today's apricots were particularly large.

They were densely piled upon the tree.

Ye Jingcheng was quite surprised; this apricot tree had been transplanted from Ye Haiyun's place, and despite inputting a lot of Treasure Light, the quantity of apricots shouldn't be so many.

Through the greenish glow, Ye Jingcheng could see some reflections of himself, and in a moment of surprise, he seemed to see Ye Haiyun.

His heart grew more certain.

Ye Jingcheng entered the room, activated the array, and then entered the Grotto Heaven.

Several spirit beasts gathered around at this time.

But the Four-Colored Cloud Deer, Red Flame Fox, and Jade Qilin Flood Dragon were curious why Ye Jingcheng came over so quickly this time.

The Golden Scale Beast, however, spread its paws forward, whining and lowly roaring stubbornly.

It continually used Divine Soul fluctuations to inform Ye Jingcheng that the birds on the pavilion were no good, and giving it, the loyal Golden Scale Beast, more Advancement Pills was most important.

Of course, what it received was a roll of Ye Jingcheng's eyes.

The Golden Scale Beast had already advanced twice compared to the Golden Falcon, which had advanced more.

It was inferior to the Golden Falcon, purely because the Golden Falcon had better innate qualities, and it certainly had opportunities within the Desolate Secret Realm.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have settled surrounding that Spirit Medicine Garden.

"Xiaoyan, go train the Golden Scale; its speed isn't up to par!" Ye Jingcheng instructed the Red Flame Fox.

The Red Flame Fox immediately chirped twice, accepting the command, and began gathering fireballs with its three tails.

As the Golden Scale Beast saw this, it whimpered and ran towards the barren land.

...

Once the Golden Scale Beast and Red Flame Fox had left, the Four-Colored Cloud Deer also wandered away.

Only the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon remained quietly watching, its blue pupils eagerly gazing.

Ye Jingcheng walked to the low-lying area within the Grotto Heaven, first examining the embryonic form of the spirit vein there. He felt uncertain and summoned the Stone Spirit to stimulate the spirit vein's embryonic form to reveal.

Once he finished examining it and got a clear understanding, Ye Jingcheng compared it to the jade talismans one by one.

And this examination took two days.

Ye Jingcheng opened his eyes, feeling that the content involved in the spirit vein was extremely peculiar.

He began to lay out the Spirit Gathering Array and Spirit-Attracting Stone according to special array positions.

The Jade Qilin Flood Dragon still watched by the side. Compared to other spirit beasts, Ye Jingcheng's Jade Qilin Flood Dragon was definitely the quietest.

Even when it wanted to eat something, it would simply open its mouth slowly.

It seemed very lazy; however, when it was time to fight, it became extremely swift.

Ye Jingcheng's setup process wasn't fast, but he managed to check everything, was in no rush, and could let the Stone Spirit continuously reveal.

Soon, all the Spirit Gathering Arrays and Spirit-Attracting Stones were in place.

The Spiritual Energy in the air began to rush towards this area.

Ye Jingcheng then started burying Spirit Stones.

The creation of the spirit vein was extremely mysterious and profound. Ye Jingcheng didn't understand why Spirit Stones needed to be placed, as it wasn't recorded in the jade talismans.

But this was indeed a widely circulated secret technique in the Cultivation Realm.

Ye Jingcheng planted thirty thousand Spirit Stones all at once.

These thirty thousand Spirit Stones came in various attributes, but the water attribute was the most prevalent.

This was because the spirit vein leaned towards the water attribute, and there was a natural consideration for this ratio.

Ye Jingcheng was meticulous in researching this like he would deduce a Pill Formula.

Once the Spirit Stones were arranged, the density of Spiritual Energy in the area began to rise.

Moreover, water started seeping from the ground.

Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng was immensely satisfied and proceeded to set up the final Spirit Lock Array.

This Spirit Lock Array was somewhat troublesome, maintaining the stability of the spirit vein through the array.

Natural spirit veins inherently possess a natural Spirit Lock Array.

Ye Jingcheng's spirit vein had none, relying solely on cultivators to set it up.

His Spirit Lock Array disc, naturally sourced from the family.

When everything was set up, Ye Jingcheng activated the array banner in his hand, causing the Spiritual Light to ripple through.

Momentarily, countless spiritual energy began to surge.

"It's a success!" Ye Jingcheng noted the spiritual energy storm, checked the jade talisman once again.

Upon confirming its success, he let out a long breath of relief.

The flow of spiritual energy was a characteristic manifestation of the spirit vein.

However, it was currently unstable and required time.

The situation now didn't quite meet the standard for a Tier One Lower Grade spirit vein.

Whereas Ye Jingcheng had arranged a Tier One Middle Grade spirit vein.

"Roar?" The Jade Qilin Flood Dragon had watched everything, feeling both curious and excited at this moment.

It naturally enjoyed being in the water, and seeing the potential formation of a Spirit Lake right in front, it was exceedingly excited.

Though this Spirit Lake wasn't large, it was far better than a previous swamp for it to roam about.

"It's finally done!" Ye Jingcheng looked at the Spirit Lake and spirit vein completed after three days, extraordinarily satisfied.

No matter how much exhaustion was in his eyes, it was all worth it at this moment.

Once the Spirit Lake was completely formed, Ye Jingcheng could introduce the Red Section Fish and Star-Feeding Fish.

Of course, these two types of fish needed to be separated.

The Red Section Fish was herbivorous spirit fish, while the Star-Feeding Fish was carnivorous spirit fish.

This naturally required another array arrangement.

Ye Jingcheng briefly fantasized about the Spirit Lake and began meditating to restore his Spiritual Energy.

After recovering his Spiritual Energy and feeding the spirit beasts, he glanced at the Golden Falcon, still closing its eyes in breakthrough, then left the Grotto Heaven.

Upon reaching the entrance, Ye Jingcheng noticed a Sound Transmission Talisman.

The Sound Transmission Talisman was red.

Indicating extreme urgency.

After reading the Sound Transmission Talisman, Ye Jingcheng immediately went to the Assembly Hall.

"Patriarch, we currently have a matter to attend to!" Both Ye Xingqun and Ye Jingli were present, their gazes somewhat solemn.

"In the process of relocating mortals, the family seems to have angered an evil cultivator, and indeed a demon cultivator has slaughtered one of our Ye Family's towns!"

"However, the slaughter occurred in the former territory of the Li Family, which is now nearby Buqing Valley!" Ye Xingqun said.

His face was extremely unpleasant.

After all, the Ye Family had only verbally promised to fight against demon cultivators.

Now the very culprit was here.

Creating much embarrassment!

"Moreover, the family's late-stage Qi Cultivation cultivator sent to investigate also met a misfortune!" Ye Xingqun added.
