In the silent room, a trace of spiritual light flickered, almost imperceptible.
It occasionally cast different colors across the room.
Among these spiritual auras, the crimson light was the brightest, followed by the earthen yellow aura, and then the sky blue aura.
The green aura, however, was just like a thin line.
When it appeared, it quickly vanished.
As time passed, these flickers of light grew increasingly intense, reaching a peak at this moment.
Finally, all the spiritual lights rippled outward like waves on a lake.
A palpable and unsettling aura emanated.
Ye Jingcheng finally opened his eyes. He clenched his hands, gathering immense spiritual power into his palms to form a massive spiritual group.
Inside him, spiritual energy was filled to the brim, radiating with four-colored spiritual lights.
At the age of thirty-six, he had finally reached the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer.
This was much faster than he had anticipated.
He could even be considered the foremost in the Jing Generation.
His eldest brother, Ye Jingteng, broke through at thirty-nine, and his fourth brother only broke through around thirty-seven.
The remaining Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer members are now only a few, including Ye Jingyong and Ye Jingfeng.
Breaking through to the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer meant that from today, he could start refining his spiritual energy, preparing for the breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.
Though the matter of the Foundation Establishment Pill was troubling, he estimated the family would likely gather one for him.
Otherwise, giving him fifteen thousand contribution points would be entirely pointless.
In the meantime, he could seek advice from Ye Haiyun.
The elders of the family were sure to know more about Foundation Establishment.
Besides, Ye Jingcheng felt that the family’s desire for external Foundation Establishment Pills was notably low, as neither Taichang Market nor Taihang Market considered purchasing them.
Though it was ostensibly for the Spirit Gathering Array and Spirit-Attracting Stones, the behavior seemed excessive.
After all, for a Foundation Establishment Clan, ensuring the numbers of Foundation Establishment Cultivators to continue the lineage was most important.
Unable to figure it out, Ye Jingcheng simply chose not to dwell on it.
Instead, he looked at the beast pattern on his arm, now fully occupied at five inches, clearly reaching its limit.
Ye Jingcheng could only communicate with the Five Poison Bee through the Treasure Book’s Seven-Inch Beast Pattern.
He felt a slight regret about this.
If the beast pattern had no limits, he could enhance his cultivation speed by communicating with more high-potential spirit beasts in the future.
Luckily, he still had one Seven-Inch Beast Pattern.
Ye Jingcheng sensed the transmission of three-phase spiritual energy within his beast pattern.
His curiosity grew about the more inherently talented magic within the Jade Qilin Snake’s spiritual energy.
The communication with the Red Flame Fox had greatly improved his aptitude in the Fireball Skill, and with the Golden Scale Beast, the power of his Stone Skin Skill had increased, now becoming Stone Armor Skill!
The Jade Qilin Snake now had several magical abilities. In Ye Jingcheng’s view, there were three prospects: one being the Jade Qilin Tail Saber, which could be a hassle because he didn’t possess the Jade Qilin Tail Saber.
Even if he did, he had no intention of engaging in close combat to execute it.
The second and third were the Fog Escape Skill and the poison-breathing swallows!
Ye Jingcheng briefly tested the Water Escape Skill, as he had cultivated the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture, which recorded it in its basic magic.
The next moment, Ye Jingcheng was pleasantly surprised to find his speed suddenly increased, far surpassing that of using the Divine Movement Talisman!
His perception of water spiritual power had significantly grown as well.
Moreover, he could now perform brief maneuvers in mid-air.
Ye Jingcheng released a considerable amount of water mist, and in the next moment, he even rose into the air.
Usually, to fly without relying on a Flying Spiritual Artifact, one would need to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage and use strong liquid spiritual power to execute Soaring Skill.
Yet, Ye Jingcheng could momentarily achieve this with the Water Escape Skill!
He now considered visiting the family to exchange for an array that could release thick fog, which would greatly enhance both his safety and the Jade Qilin Snake’s offensive capabilities.
The only drawback was the absence of a lake or similar body of water to test his underwater escape speed.
But he guessed it wouldn’t be slow, as the Jade Qilin Snake of Jade Dragon Valley lived at the bottom of the pool.
Ye Jingcheng tested the Poison Smoke Skill and Artifact Manipulation Skill again, finding no additional boosts, and decided to hide the beast pattern.
He opened the windows, letting intense sunlight pour into the room and revealing the blazing sun in the sky.
His seclusion had lasted for over a month.
At this moment, it seemed to be late spring, a period often marked by rain on Lingyun Peak.
The sun today was a bit surprising for him.
Some spirit beasts approached him, requesting Spirit Pills and Spiritual Food.
Ye Jingcheng distributed them one by one. Whether it was due to the Jade Qilin Snake, the Golden Scale Beast had recently been working especially hard.
After consuming an elixir, it would practice Earth Spike Skill outside the courtyard until it was utterly exhausted.
Then, it would come to Ye Jingcheng to request spiritual light.
Ye Jingcheng was happy to oblige. Currently, the Red Flame Fox and Jade Qilin Snake both equated to a Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer cultivator, while only the Golden Scale Beast remained at the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer.
Ye Jingcheng stepped out and walked to the spirit field.
At this time, most of the spirit flowers were in bloom.
With the family spirit vein upgraded, he was extremely optimistic about the spirit plants in his field.
What lay before him was a vast expanse of Purple Illusion Flowers and Poison Thorn Flowers.
The Purple Illusion Flowers bloomed extraordinarily vibrant, though each plant had just two or three blossoms, each was considerably larger, and their purple mist was also more abundant.
The Poison Thorn Flower was the opposite, with long, vine-like stems covered in black-green leaves and numerous toxic thorns, its flowers small and few.
The poisonous fog was not prominent either.
The Five Poison Bees flitted through them, looking especially busy.
These Five Poison Bees had grown considerably since last year, with their tail stings now incredibly translucent.
Ye Jingcheng beckoned, and three queen bees flew into his hand.
After a year’s growth, the spirit bee with significant bloodline was evidently larger.
Its presence was more intimidating.
Ye Jingcheng checked the spiritual honey, finding it already holding nearly twenty pounds.
He took out a jade bottle and filled eighty percent of the honey, leaving twenty percent for the Five Poison Bees to consume.
Then he plucked a lot of spirit tea from the nearby Spring Tea.
Having not been picked in a while, with increased spiritual energy, the spirit tea tree was now exceptionally lush.
Even cuttings and transplants formed small clumps.
The spiritual energy remained robust.
Ye Jingcheng picked many of the tenderest leaves, storing them in a jade box.
Then he sealed the array, leaving the Jade Ring Rat to watch over the area
and headed toward the mountainside.
He wished to visit Ye Haiyun, believing that having reached Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, Newest update provided by N0veI.Fiɾe.net
he could learn more of the Ye Family’s secrets.
He wanted to send a message to his fourth brother, Ye Jingyu, but Ye Jingyu and Ye Xingyu were both in seclusion.
Soon, Ye Jingcheng arrived at Ye Haiyun’s courtyard.
His spirit field was larger, with the Earthworm still present, raising its head as Ye Jingcheng approached.
It looked at Ye Jingcheng.
Ye Jingcheng was accustomed to this sight, though he admired Ye Haiyun’s expansive spirit field, spanning four to five acres.
Moreover, the spiritual energy seemed even better than his own.
