"Great Uncle, I have memorized everything!" Ye Jingcheng confirmed that he had memorized the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture, and after reinforcing it himself, he returned the jade talisman with both hands.

Although Ye Jingcheng hadn't started cultivating the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture, he already sensed its profundity. He was eager to return and begin his cultivation.

Ye Haiping nodded. He wasn't sure whether it was good or bad for Ye Jingcheng to cultivate this technique, but the decision was already made, so he had to take back the jade talisman.

"If there's anything you've missed or don't understand, you can come to me to review it anytime!"

Cultivators who've cultivated Divine Sense almost possess an eidetic memory, but Ye Haiping was somewhat worried about Ye Jingcheng making a mistake with such an important cultivation technique.

Ye Jingcheng repeatedly thanked him with a wave of his hand.

This was unprecedented in the Ye Family before.

"Additionally, remember to diligently hone your alchemy skills!" As they approached the pavilion exit, Ye Haiping paused, turned around, and added.

Ye Jingcheng didn't quite understand these words, but he still nodded. He could already refine the Ice Purity Pill and was considered a Tier One High-grade Alchemist, albeit not a stable one.

Following Ye Haiping out of the secluded room, the array dissipated invisibly, reverting to a simple partition.

Ye Haiping continued to walk in front, with Ye Jingcheng following closely. Halfway down the path, Ye Haiping turned back to look at him.

At this moment, the joy on Ye Jingcheng's face vanished, replaced by slight disappointment, which then turned to a hint of happiness.

This expression was the most appropriate.

Ye Haiping nodded, leading Ye Jingcheng back to the queue.

Next in line was Ye Jingyong, but seeing both Ye Jingyu and Ye Jingcheng looking somewhat dispirited, his anticipation for the reward significantly diminished.

After all, he ranked lower than Ye Jingcheng; he was only second.

"Once you've received your rewards, you can leave. Don't block the Treasure Pavilion; hurry back to cultivate and don't disappoint family expectations!" Ye Haiping said, looking at Ye Jingyu and Ye Jingteng.

Of course, this included Ye Jingcheng.

Initially, Ye Jingcheng wanted to wait for Ye Jingyong, but he had to leave with Ye Jingyu and Ye Jingteng.

The three descended the stairs together, with Ye Jingteng leading and Ye Jingcheng trailing behind.

Ye Jingyu and Ye Jingteng rarely spoke.

Ye Jingcheng naturally didn't have much to say either, especially since he was eager to return and further consolidate the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture. Some important points he planned to record using a jade talisman, even though Ye Haiping mentioned he could review it again.

But he preferred not to rely on that if possible.

Outside, the sky still appeared foggy, though the rain had lessened, and the three of them each cast the Rain Avoidance Skill.

They walked along the cleaned stone path, heading outward.

However, halfway there, Ye Jingteng suddenly looked at Ye Jingcheng:

"Jingcheng, the outside Cultivation Realm is vast. I heard you're an Alchemist; if you have time, you can visit Taichang Market under the Taiyi Sect, where there's often alchemist exchanges!"

Ye Jingcheng looked up, obviously not expecting Ye Jingteng to speak suddenly, then nodded. At that moment, he seemed to have realized something.

"Thank you for your guidance, big brother!" Ye Jingcheng responded with gratitude.

"After going to Taichang Market, you could also find the steward of Yunlai Shop, Ding Taisheng. I'm quite close with him. If you tell him you're my clan's younger brother, he can give you a referral order!"

"Thank you, big brother!" Ye Jingcheng spoke again.

He memorized the name, though it's uncertain if he'd need it, but if there's a chance to exchange alchemy skills, he wouldn't pass it up.

"With your talent, big brother, you should not be at a disadvantage even against Ninth-level Qi Cultivation cultivators, right?" Ye Jingcheng thought for a moment and asked.

"Against ordinary Ninth-level Qi Cultivation cultivators, I'm indeed not at a disadvantage, but when facing Sect cultivators, I'm far from it!" Ye Jingteng said, his face full of pride.

After finishing, he changed his tone and asked Ye Jingcheng:

"How is the cultivation technique you've chosen this time?"

"I'm just an embarrassment, big brother. I'm just a Four Spirit Roots cultivator and chose a technique that's quick to cultivate..." Ye Jingcheng, slightly embarrassed, didn't answer directly.

Ye Jingteng seemed to lose interest upon hearing this.

Though he did encourage Ye Jingcheng a bit.

As the stone path reached a fork, one broad path led to higher grounds on Lingyun Peak, while several small paths led to small courtyards where the Jing Generation cultivators lived.

Ye Jingcheng soon parted ways with Ye Jingteng and Ye Jingyu, heading toward his courtyard!

Upon entering the courtyard, Ye Jingcheng secured the door and solemnly retrieved the array disc he hadn't used in a long time.

As spiritual light enveloped the small house, Ye Jingcheng finally felt at ease. He then eagerly sat cross-legged on the stone bed, reviewing the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture and extracting the jade talisman to record some critical insights.

The cultivation technique couldn't be recorded, but these insights didn't fall into that category.

So Ye Jingcheng didn't have any psychological burden.

The more he studied, the more delighted he was.

...

At this moment, at the summit of Lingyun Peak, there was a large mountain lake.

The lake was shrouded by an array, with its surface a brilliant emerald.

However, at this moment, the lake water was constantly undulating!

Ye Haicheng flew out from it, his face unusually showing a hint of joy.

On the outskirts, Ye Xingliu and Ye Haiyi, who were meditating by the lake, stood up.

"Uncle, how did it go?" Ye Xingliu was the first to ask.

"Smoothly!" Ye Haicheng nodded.

With this nod, the waiting group collectively relaxed their expressions!

The long-planned event seemed to finally turn for the better as the rain began to taper off.

"However, Xingliu, next, we must arrange for the clan's cultivators to quickly enhance their combat power. The news Haiyun brought back from the Taiyi Sect might signal the onset of war!" Ye Haicheng said worriedly.

At these words, the others' faces turned cold.

This time, Ye Haiyun took the opportunity to request leave and return home. Although most of the news couldn't be revealed due to the Heavenly Dao Oath, some clues were still discernible.

Gathering all forces' Alchemists and Artifact Refiners, war seemed inevitable.

And in major sects, whether waging war against the Demon Race or rival sects, the most tragic were always the affiliated clans like them.

Among them, the Foundation Establishment Clans were the best cannon fodder.

Some sects, to suppress affiliated forces and maintain absolute dominance, would periodically wage wars, each time using affiliated forces to exhaust themselves, venting the sect's hatred.

The sects strategized on paper, reaping benefits regardless of victory or defeat.

This was what Ye Haicheng worried about.

"Fortunately, Jingteng has already apprenticed under a Purple Mansion Ascendant in the sect!" Ye Xingliu nodded.

"Regarding spirit beasts, Jingteng still needs to be given one. Choose one from the Late Stage of First Tier spirit beasts!"

"Additionally, select a few aesthetically pleasing spirit beasts for Jingteng to bring back!"
