CHAPTER 41: CHAPTER 41: EMERGENCY RECALL

Inside the room, the spirit array was laid out by Ye Jingcheng, forming a larger barrier.

Refining pills in the house greatly affects the courtyard, so half a year ago, Ye Jingcheng had to replace the barrier array disc.

Otherwise, under the baking of the Red Flame Fox’s fire, the room, even engraved with array patterns, would have long since burned up.

At this moment, the Red Flame Fox was more slender, with bright red fur even more spirited, covered in a brilliant spiritual sheen.

Its tail was also larger, thick and fluffy, resembling a blazing inferno.

Its size had even grown comparable to a lion.

Most remarkable was still the red mark on the forehead of the Red Flame Fox.

At this moment, under Ye Jingcheng’s direction, it began to breathe out flames.

The temperature in the room instantly soared.

Ye Jingcheng skillfully guided the pill furnace into the flames with extreme dexterity!

Moreover, at this moment, the flames that Ye Jingcheng ordered the Red Flame Fox to spit out were exceptionally high.

This was Ye Jingcheng trying to simulate the way Ye Haiyun perfectly controlled the furnace, a technique that could greatly save time and improve alchemy efficiency.

For ordinary alchemists, this might not be very important, but for Ye Family’s beast-taming alchemists, it was extremely essential.

However, even though Ye Jingcheng was extremely skilled, he was still quite far from Elder Ye Haiyun.

After several breaths, the spirit pattern on the pill furnace finally began to come to life, outlining a crimson spirit diagram.

Ye Jingcheng’s expression was calm as he began to take out spirit medicines for refining.

This time, the spirit pill he was refining was one whose pill formula was exchanged when he left the Ye Family’s Lingyun Peak.

The Ice Purity Pill, also an entry-level tier one high-grade spirit pill.

However, even the simplest among tier one high-grade spirit pills was still a tier one high-grade spirit pill.

This was Ye Jingcheng’s fifth attempt at refining it, with the previous four attempts ending in failure, losing a lot of spirit medicines.

This time, Ye Jingcheng absorbed the lessons from the previous four failures, proceeding with extreme caution at every step.

As the spirit medicine was formed step by step, the flame, following Ye Jingcheng’s thoughts, began to fluctuate.

Unlike before, at this moment, the Red Flame Fox, assisting in refining the spirit pill, was extraordinarily focused.

The control of the flame’s temperature was impeccable.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, the pill furnace began to shake, and Ye Jingcheng’s brow furrowed into a line.

After rotating dozens of times, the furnace lid finally flew off smoothly.

The flame instantly turned into a small fire, slowly burning at the furnace’s base, while inside the pill furnace, two incredibly sleek Ice Purity Pills could vaguely be seen rotating slowly.

"It’s done!" Ye Jingcheng was quite delighted as he collected the two Ice Purity Pills into a pill bottle.

He also breathed a sigh of relief; from today, he could count as a tier one high-grade alchemist!

Even within the Ye Family, he could make a name for himself.

The most crucial aspect was that he was now closer to refining the spirit pill needed for the Red Flame Fox’s advancement.

Moreover, by now, he had collected half of the elixirs required for the Golden Scale Beast’s advancement.

Once the time comes, both of his spirit beasts could successfully advance, with their bloodlines further refined.

Currently, it’s his cultivation technique that needs consideration.

Because he himself had four spirit roots, his cultivation speed was relatively slow, and he was practicing the single attribute Li Fire Skill.

But now, with the Golden Scale Beast and the Red Flame Fox, he could consider switching to cultivating a dual attribute cultivation technique, which would maximize the utilization of the Beast Communication Pattern.

At that time, his cultivation speed would also be faster.

After all, with the two spirit beasts continuously providing him with higher levels of spiritual energy, his cultivation speed was naturally incomparable to before.

Of course, this cultivation technique is available in the Ye Family’s Treasure Pavilion; it’s just that Ye Jingcheng found it strange that the family’s original alchemists still hadn’t returned.

Since the Taiyi Sect summoned alchemists and artifact refiners, almost three years had passed.

As Ye Jingcheng pondered, he only heard a sudden urgency in the courtyard!

A spirit talisman flew out from the outer courtyard.

"Quickly exit!" Upon these words, Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but wrinkle his brow.

This urgent tone was something he was witnessing for the first time.

As Ye Jingcheng stepped out of the inner courtyard, he saw Ye Jingli, Ye Jingyun, and Ye Xingyu all appearing bewildered.

Only Ye Xinghe walked urgently among them.

"The family is urgently organizing the family competition, we leave today, the market’s shop will close for half a month!" Ye Xinghe’s words left Ye Jingcheng and others at a loss.

However, Ye Xinghe gave them no chance to ask questions.

Beside them, even Ye Xinghong and Ye Jinhao had packed up, carrying several spirit beast bags and storage bags around their waists, bringing everything of value from the shop with them.

Ye Jingcheng knew that something had probably happened to the Ye Family, but Ye Xinghe was hiding it.

Ye Xinghe even placed a sign on the Ye Family Shop, marked with the family competition notice!

"Let’s go!" After completing these tasks, Ye Xinghe directly led everyone toward a secret passage.

This time’s secret passage was different from the second one, indicating that there were probably two secret passageways under the Ye Family Shop.

After leaving the secret passage, Ye Xinghe took out a Spiritual Ship, heading swiftly toward Lingyun Peak!

The departure was extremely hasty.

Ye Xinghe and Ye Jinhao were somewhat excited, for them, it had been far too long since they were away from Lingyun Peak.

In contrast, Ye Jingli, Ye Jingcheng, and the group wore even more puzzled expressions.

...

In Taihang Market, inside a secret hall, Li Mutian landed on a master’s chair, gently brewing a cup of spirit tea.

At this moment, a cultivator rushed in.

"Uncle Tian, there’s important information!" Li Mutian set down the spirit tea and quickly took out an array disc.

Tossing it forward, it instantly covered the room.

"How?" he asked eagerly!

"The Ye Family has left the market overnight, hanging the family competition sign!"

"It’s done!" Li Mutian couldn’t help but laugh.

"Good, you observed well, don’t mention this to others!" Li Mutian instructed again.

"Also, help me invite the chiefs from the other two families; we need to discuss the specifics of the third market’s auction items!"

"Understood!" That person hurriedly left!

...

At this moment, it was not just the Li Family; the Chu Family and the Chen Family were all equally anxious.

For them, the opportunity they had been planning for years had finally arrived.

They quickly headed to the restaurant agreed upon by Li Mutian.

With the appearance of the Chu Family Chief Steward and the Chen Family Chief Steward, Li Mutian spoke:

"Not only have the staff of the Ye Family’s shop withdrawn, but within the sect, the disciples of the Ye Family have also started requesting leave!"

"However, the Ye Family is indeed sufficiently cautious. The Blood Heart Pill, though tainted with gu, is colorless, tasteless, and the Demon Gu doesn’t act for a short period!"

"If the Ye Family weren’t careless, how could they make the pressure from our three families so significant? If not subdued, the Ye Family might become a Purple Mansion Clan!" sneered the Chu Family Chief Steward beside him.

Although the Ye Family was famously poor, in truth, their foundation was the most abundant among the four families and the oldest!
