Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 1624 The Alchemy Sect (Seeking monthly votes and subscriptions)
The location of Humu Mountain is not far from the boundary gate, which surprised Ye Jingcheng.

Because he had already established a city, the other side did not react at all.

Seeing this, he could understand what the Golden Roc Demon Saint meant when he said that the Wood Demon Saint didn't care about the things around him, nor about other demon races and forces.

"Fellow Daoist Humu, I apologize for disturbing you, but may I ask if I may have a meeting with you?" Unlike the other demon saints, Ye Jingcheng would not be too aggressive towards this neutral demon saint who had no grudge against the Ye family.

"Fellow Daoist Qianchen, you came without giving me any prior notice. I was just about to welcome you." Not long after Ye Jingcheng's voice rang out, a figure emerged from Mount Humu.

The figure was dressed in a green robe, but its face appeared somewhat ethereal.

Ye Jingcheng didn't know whether the Wood Demon Saint deliberately concealed its avatar's appearance or simply preferred to show itself this way.

"You're too kind. I came here regarding the Gate of Boundaries," Ye Jingcheng said bluntly.

"I've already said that the boundary gate has nothing to do with me. You can go and harvest and cut down the trees in that area without any problem!" The Wood Demon Saint continued to answer before Ye Jingcheng could speak.

"As long as they don't harbor any ill intentions towards my Potwood Mountain, I won't interfere. Of course, if they do, then I'll have no choice but to fight them!" said the Potwood Demon Saint.

Behind it, on the mountain, the hundreds of enormous spirit trees began to move continuously in that instant.

Soon after, a mysterious and profound aura enveloped the surroundings.

Even Ye Jingcheng felt a pang of fear.

With the blessing of the Heavenly Sacred Mountain of this Demon Saint, it really is as the Golden Roc Demon Saint said, that he might not have any problem fighting three or four Demon Saints.

Of course, that's if you don't run into him.

Ye Jingcheng possesses the Heavenly Treasure, the Ten Directions Inkstone.

Once it is pulled into the cave, the Wood Demon Saint will lose most of its supernatural powers and secret techniques.

But Ye Jingcheng wouldn't act just for the sake of acting; otherwise, he would be no different from the Mu family and the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor of Tianjue Valley.

"That's natural, the Ye family is the same!" Ye Jingcheng nodded.

"The Sky-Splitting Demon Saint, the Black Ox Demon Saint, and the Thunder Demon Saint attacked my Ye family. Now, the three great spiritual continents have also been occupied by my Ye family. My Ye family will build a city at this boundary gate!" Ye Jingcheng continued.

"Of course, I am a mid-grade sixth-level alchemist. If you have these spiritual items and essence blood, you can ask me to refine your pills."

"At the same time, fifth-grade spirit wood can also be exchanged for fifth-grade spirit pills in my Ye family."

"At the same time, if you can help accelerate the growth of some of the spiritual trees in my Ye family, my Ye family will also offer a generous reward." Ye Jingcheng took out a jade slip and listed the spiritual items and herbs he lacked.

Because these spiritual objects and herbs are materials for advancing pills from different spiritual beasts, Ye Jingcheng is not afraid of the pill formulas being leaked.

Moreover, unlike before, the Ye family is now worried about their pill formula being exposed.

But now, that worry is gone.

There are very few forces that can pose a threat to the Ye family right now.

"I don't have any of those, but I'll consider cultivating spirit wood!" The Wood Demon Saint shook his head, giving Ye Jingcheng a perfunctory answer.

Ye Jingcheng was somewhat surprised to see this, as this was the first time a demon saint had treated him perfunctorily.

But since the Wood Demon Saint had said so, he naturally wouldn't insist. After hesitating for a while, he left.

Only after seeing Ye Jingcheng leave did the Wood Demon Saint return to Wood Mountain with some worry.

Upon entering the depths of Humu Mountain, three cultivators landed there.

Three cultivators sat around a square wooden table, on which sat a spirit furnace.

Sandalwood incense burned on the incense burner.

The Wood Demon Saint also took his seat in the remaining position.

“Senior Brother Yaozhen, Ye Jingcheng is indeed skilled in alchemy, but you are already a mid-grade sixth-level alchemist, and you are in the process of breaking through the bottleneck of the late sixth-level…” These three people were none other than Divine Lord Yaozhen, Divine Lord Guming, and Divine Lord Taiqian.

It was Taiqian Divine Lord who spoke this time.

“Every sixth-tier alchemist in the world has their own unique characteristics. There are two paths for cultivators to improve: one is to constantly break their own limits, but this requires incredibly terrifying talent; the other is to learn from the strengths of all schools and stand on the shoulders of giants.” The old man who was in the due north position had white hair and beard and was none other than Yaozhen Divine Lord.

If one could sense his cultivation level, one could also discover that he was already in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Even the ancient divine lord standing beside him was at the peak of the early stage of the Divine Transformation realm.

“Senior Brother Yaozhen naturally has his reasons. Taiqian, your alchemy skills haven’t improved much lately. You need to work harder. Senior Brother Yaozhen means that there will be a shortage of alchemists in the Spirit Realm. At that time, three alchemists can form their own sect instead of relying on others!” said Gu Ming Shenjun from the side.

Taiqian Divine Lord then nodded.

But after a while, he spoke again:
"But now the gate to the boundary has been occupied by the Ye family..."

“Then we can go through other realm gates. Since the Ye family didn’t attack Ba Yi, Ye Yun, or Hu Mu, they’re not exactly ruthless, selfish, or petty people.” Yao Zhen Divine Lord nodded, seemingly quite satisfied. Tai Qian Divine Lord wanted to object, perhaps because of his own inner turmoil, or perhaps because he couldn’t stand Ye Jingcheng’s alchemy skills surpassing his own.

But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he really couldn't find any fault with Ye Jingcheng.

He spent quite a bit of time in the Dayu territory.

Even ordinary forces, such as the Mu family, will have rumors circulating in the shadows.

However, the Ye family rarely mentioned it; most of the rumors were fabricated by hostile forces.

But those rumors are simply not credible.

……

Ye Jingcheng stayed in Liekong Continent for half a month.

During this period, a batch of Thousand Moon Condensation Pills was also refined, and this time the effect was good, producing a total of four spirit pills.

It's a pity that none of them have the cinnabar pattern.

In the past two weeks, he has also witnessed the return of the Demon Saint from the Heavenly Insect Realm.

They only received two auxiliary medicines, not the main medicine.

These two sixth-grade auxiliary medicines were naturally not enough to exchange for a single spirit pill. In the end, more spiritual materials were added to exchange for a Thousand Moon Spirit Condensation Pill.

Besides the demon saints from the Heavenly Insect Realm, the demon saints from the Myriad Demon Alliance also came to Rift Sky Continent.

The Jade Toad Demon Saint arrived once again. It brought nothing else but the essence blood of a sixth-order flying ant, along with other sixth-order spiritual materials for cultivation, which it barely managed to exchange for a sixth-order spiritual pill.

Ye Jingcheng eventually left the Heavenly Insect Realm and returned directly to the Great Yu Realm.

Ye Jingcheng, the Demon Saint of the Heavenly Insect Realm, has already made his first encounter with most of them. Naturally, Ye Jingcheng doesn't need to handle the rest. Ye Qingnian, Ye Yunsheng, and the other hall masters of the Ye family will take care of the affairs of the Heavenly Insect Realm.

Ye Jingcheng only needed to review the development plan every now and then, and offer some opinions on the selection of the head of the Tianchong Realm branch family.

He doesn't need to do anything else.

Just in time, Ye Jingcheng arrived at the Golden Roc Sea.

The location of the alchemy exchange meeting was on a fifth-order spiritual mountain.

The location of the Ling Mountain Gate is not far from the boundary.

When Ye Jingcheng arrived, there were already three people standing in the void on the island.

“Fellow Daoist Qianchen, since this is the Ye family’s territory, shall we enter my cave heaven?” It was Yaozhen Divine Lord who spoke.

Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng knew that the other party must already know about the relationship between the Golden Roc Demon Saint and the Ye family.

He nodded in agreement.

Whether it's a grotto-heaven or a secret realm treasure, Ye Jingcheng has the Ten Directions Ink Spirit Inkstone to counter it.

Moreover, he now has the Crimson Flame Fox, the Golden Roc, and the Star Whale Demon Saint with him, and with the sixth-order corpse puppet, he is not too afraid of the opponent.

Of course, the moment the other party opened the cave, Ye Jingcheng also unabashedly entered the cave with his divine sense and scanned it.

This wasn't because Ye Jingcheng disrespected the other party, but because he needed to be more careful about his own life.

Therefore, in addition to his divine sense, he also used the Star Illusion Eye.

He didn't see the hidden Demon Saint Transformation Realm, but he did see four sixth-tier spirit herb gardens.

The spiritual energy within is estimated to be very close to that of a high-grade sixth-order spiritual vein.

The only difference between it and Ye Jingcheng's is that the size of this cave is smaller than that of the Stone Spirit Cave.

It could even be said that it is not as good as the cave heavens of Mu Huayuan and the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor.

With a casual flick of his wrist, Ye Jingcheng sent a beam of light piercing through the void and disappearing from everyone's sight.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, you are truly skilled. If I am not mistaken, that is the Sky-Splitting Divine Earthworm!" Yaozhen Divine Lord was also somewhat surprised.

Ye Jingcheng did not speak, but entered the cave.

To Ye Jingcheng's surprise, Yaozhen Divine Lord did not close the cave, but left it open, only setting up a barrier to prevent divine sense from seeping in.

"Please rest assured, Fellow Daoist Qianchen, we have absolutely no ill intentions this time!" said Divine Lord Yaozhen.

"The focus of this alchemy exchange meeting is on the exchange of alchemy techniques, so I'll start by explaining my alchemy skills!"

"The highest-grade elixir I've ever refined is a sixth-rank superior elixir!" Yaozhen Divine Lord spoke first!
