Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Visitors from Beyond the Peak
Ye Haiyi was puzzled for a long time, initially thinking that Ye Jingcheng took the egg to eliminate the discrepancy of five eggs, leaving no traces to prevent the Taiyi Sect from suspecting them.
It seems now that Ye Jingcheng had his eye on that particular one.
"Never mind, if you’ve decided, you’ve decided. It will just leave us with some Spirit Stones to exchange for some Spirit Nurturing Liquid and Middle Grade Spirit Stones to set up a Spirit Array!" Ye Haiyi added.
The Ye Family would not just wait for some Spirit Eggs to hatch, as that would take too much time. Instead, they would soak them in Spirit Nurturing Liquid and set up a Spirit Array.
This Spirit Array is also related to the quality of the Spirit Stones used.
The better the Spirit Stones, the greater the effect of the Spirit Array.
It is said that the highest grade is the Spirit Array using Top-Grade Spirit Stones.
"Thank you for your guidance, Third Grandfather!" Ye Jingcheng thought differently in his heart. With the Treasure Book Spiritual Light, perhaps just the light alone could help the Jade Qilin Snake hatch.
Of course, even so, he would still exchange for some Middle Grade Spirit Stones.
In the Cultivation Realm, one Middle Grade Spirit Stone could generally be exchanged for about 100 to 120 Lower Grade Spirit Stones, which fluctuates with the market.
Currently, in peaceful times, without a large amount of Middle Grade Spirit Stone Ore discovered, the exchange rate is around 108.
In the Ye Family, this ratio would be controlled around 104 Contribution Points.
Because the Ye Family’s Contribution Points are inherently more valuable than Lower Grade Spirit Stones, no Cultivator would exchange for Middle Grade Spirit Stones to sell.
Ye Jingcheng finished exchanging the Spirit Beast Egg and bowed out.
After Ye Jingcheng, there were a few others who followed in succession.
"How was it, Jingcheng? Your harvest wasn’t bad, right?" Ye Jingli asked happily.
How many Contribution Points could be exchanged and how many could be distributed would only be clear after reporting to Ye Haiyi.
"Not bad, it seems Brother Liu’s harvest was quite good!" Ye Jingcheng smiled in return.
"I’m managing, but I might need to trouble you in some time!" Ye Jingli replied.
It was rare to see Ye Jingli so modest, indicating a significant harvest; not to mention a lot, but at least over a thousand Contribution Points.
And it hadn’t even been a month since everyone went to the Taihang Mountain Range.
This cost-performance ratio is even faster than robbing Tribulation Cultivators!
Ye Jingcheng agreed to Ye Jingli’s request; without asking, he guessed Ye Jingli wanted to exchange for a new Spirit Beast.
With the Beast Communication Pattern and sufficient Contribution Points, for Cultivators like them, there are merely two choices: exchange for a mature Spirit Beast to enhance Cultivation and combat power.
The other is to exchange for high-talented Spirit Beast Cubs.
With Ye Jingcheng’s promise, Ye Jingli smiled even more happily.
As time passed, the last Cultivator also came out.
Behind them, Ye Haiyi spoke up:
"Everyone, continue to adjust for the night, but do not delve into Cultivation. Until we reach Lingyun Peak, we must remain vigilant!" Ye Haiyi finished speaking and returned to the previous stone chamber to once again close his eyes.
Ye Jingcheng and others also returned to their respective mountain cave stone chambers to start resting their minds.
Ye Jingcheng then continued to take out the Red Flame Fox and input Treasure Light into its hind legs.
As the Treasure Light poured in, the blood-scabbed wounds began to fade, the crimson fur became redder, emanating a warming warmth.
The Red Fox chirped softly, turning around to lick Ye Jingcheng’s hand.
"Next time, in such a situation, you need to dodge better. When we return to Lingyun Peak, practice dodging while the Golden Scale practices the Earth Spike Skill!" Ye Jingcheng admonished.
This time, the Red Flame Fox was severely injured; thanks to the Purple Gold Wings, it might have perished on the spot.
Li Family’s Cultivators are too malicious, targeting the most promising Ye Family Cultivators or Spirit Beasts once they can’t escape.
The Red Flame Fox needs to improve its response speed and Magical Artifact integration.
What’s lacking is not offensive means but defensive ones. Now, he even considered getting another Defensive Spiritual Artifact for the Red Flame Fox from Ye Jingli.
Meanwhile, Ye Jingcheng must also deeply reflect, never repeating such mistakes in the future.
He took out a Jade Talisman, recorded, and deduced such situations, deciding what to do should it happen again, then let it go.
It was late into the night, and the temperature within the cave had dropped significantly, a trace of chill could be felt from the stone chamber.
However, the Red Flame Fox was sleeping nearby, wisps of mist rising.
Ye Jingcheng no longer paid attention to it and began cultivating the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture. Currently, the crimson Spiritual Energy was the thickest, followed by Earth Attribute Spiritual Energy, and Wood and Water Attributes were the thinnest.
Ye Jingcheng also had no solution to this issue, but fortunately, absorbing various Spiritual Energies wouldn’t affect his breakthrough in Realm.
On the contrary, his current cultivation speed was quite fast indeed.
The Red Flame Fox, equivalent to a Cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, had exceptionally pure Fire Attribute Spiritual Power within.
With a little Refinement, Ye Jingcheng could make substantial progress, and the Golden Scale Beast’s Spiritual Energy was similar.
Before possessing the Beast Communication Pattern, if Ye Jingcheng could only retain a strand of pure Spiritual Energy for each Circulation, now there were three to four strands.
The speed was, of course, incomparable.
The cultivation time passed quickly, and after another Small Circulation, a transmission arrived for Ye Jingcheng.
"Everyone, set off!" Ye Haiyi’s solemn voice came, exceptionally cold.
Ye Jingcheng was curious but dared not delay.
When he walked out of the cave, he noticed many had already come out; while the Xing Generation had normal expressions, he and Ye Jingli looked puzzled.
Ye Haiyi took out a Spiritual Ship, but this time it was a Tier One Top-Grade Spiritual Ship with three sails. The hull was crafted from Jade Green Wood, exuding Spiritual Light.
Compared to the previous small boat, it was like heaven and earth.
"Remove the Spirit-Blocking Robes!" Ye Haiyi commanded again.
Upon these words, Ye Jingcheng was somewhat surprised, but seeing no change in numbers, he didn’t think much further and handed over the Spirit-Blocking Robes to Ye Haiyi.
The group embarked on the Spiritual Ship, heading towards Lingyun Peak.
At this moment, Ye Haiyi’s expression grew serious.
Under the cover of night, the ship flew rapidly until they could see a mountain peak hovering in the distance.
And weak streaks of light were beginning to appear at the horizon’s edge.
The morning sun was approaching, and everyone found the sunrise at Lingyun Peak extraordinarily beautiful.
Those faint rays of light would soon turn into dazzling Purple Qi and scorching sunlight.
However, as the Spiritual Ship approached Lingyun Peak, in the distance, another Spiritual Ship appeared.
On it, the insignia of the Li Family was clearly visible.
This scene made many Ye Family members tense, including Ye Xingyao and Ye Xingqun.
Ye Haiyi, however, seemed indifferent.
Their speed didn’t increase or decrease.
Soon, the Li Family’s Spiritual Ship arrived alongside the Ye Family’s Spiritual Ship at the foot of Lingyun Peak!
"Li Daoist, coming here at this hour, what’s the matter?" Ye Xingliu flew out from Lingyun Peak.
