Chapter 1098: Chapter 775: Turtle Ancestor Enters Seclusion, Bamboo Forest Presents Treasures (Double-Length)

"Granduncle, please watch over the Desert Sea for now!" Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but speak.

Currently, although there are many in the Purple Mansion, since Ye Xuefan has already gone into seclusion to prepare for breaking through to the Golden Core, the highest cultivation is Ye Haicheng at the late stage of the Purple Mansion.

Naturally, it fell to Ye Haicheng to oversee it.

"Jingcheng, I’m going with you!" said Ye Xingyu eagerly from the side.

He was at the peak of Foundation Establishment, honing his artifact refining skills.

But in fact, it was the same polishing anywhere, so he wanted to visit Lingyun Peak.

This was also why he had been guarding the teleportation array for years.

"Alright!" Ye Jingcheng nodded, then instructed Ye Haicheng to prepare to destroy the teleportation array, to use the arrays of the Mo Family and the East Sea for teleportation in the future.

This way, even if Tian Dao Sect had the spatial node of the Ye Family’s teleportation array, they couldn’t freely teleport to the Desert Sea.

After discussing, Ye Jingcheng directly stepped onto the teleportation array. When the spirit stones were all placed, the transmission’s spiritual aura began to spread instantly.

In a flash, the spiritual light was dazzling, accompanied by an intense white light, making both Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xingyu involuntarily close their eyes.

They held the teleportation talisman, somewhat anxious.

But the familiar feeling of teleportation came.

Before long, they landed at the bottom of Lingyun Lake.

The familiar palace, the familiar buildings, and the distant spirit lake, spirit mountains, mountain streams, brooks...

On both sides of the spirit lake, Ye Jingyu and Ye Xingliu were currently standing by, vigilant.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng’s face, sensing Ye Jingcheng’s profound Golden Core aura.

All of them let out a long breath of relief.

"Third Uncle, Uncle Xingqun, Brother Four, Brother Six, Brother Nine, thank you for your hard work!" Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but speak with heartfelt emotion.

These simple words made Ye Jingli and Ye Jingyun’s noses turn sour!

They had survived life and death in the Ye Family of Lingyun Peak, achieving survival against the odds.

Now the Ye Family’s auction was also thriving, occupying the entire Taihang Commandery.

Of course, this was largely due to Ye Jingcheng’s efforts.

But it was they who risked their lives to accomplish this feat.

They experienced despair where self-destruction was the only option, and faced the perilous threat of the beast tide, ultimately gaining a sliver of vitality.

Even at this moment, Ye Jingyu and Ye Xingliu remained silent.

For they hadn’t experienced the darkest times of Lingyun Peak.

Thus, they had no right to speak at this moment.

"Jingcheng, you didn’t drink last time, it doesn’t count!" Ye Jingli said heartily. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"This time, you must drink at least three more cups as a penalty!"

Then, seemingly remembering something, he added repeatedly:

"Jingcheng, you wouldn’t know about Old Jiu. This time, he’s found a tall girl with Three Spirit Roots and plans to marry her after the auction ends. He’s so shameless, hiding the best and asking Jing Hu if he wants her!" Ye Jingli, at this moment, seemed to have endless topics to discuss.

From the unfinished drink, he talked about Ye Jingyun’s marriage, then moved to the new territory of Qing Liu Lake that the Ye Family had acquired, as well as various matters within the Ye Family.

Though his speech wasn’t highly logical, every word hit Ye Jingcheng’s heart.

Finally, he took out a Four-Colored Bone Fire Bead, intending to speak, but then reconsidered, thinking it might be inauspicious, and quickly put it away.

In the end, he took out two pieces of Spirit Jade.

"Jingcheng, these are gifts for Qing Feng and Qingnian, called Twin Rhinoceros Jade. They not only allow sensing each other’s presence but can also store a Purple Mansion cultivator’s strike, they should be quite useful..." Ye Jingli said as he continued.

Ye Jingcheng stepped forward and patted Ye Jingli’s back:

"Of course they’re useful; my Sixth Brother’s artifact refining is second to none in the world!"

After speaking, he looked at everyone:

"Sixth Brother, Ninth Brother, Fourth Brother, Uncle Xingqun, Third Uncle, Uncle Xingyu, let’s go to the Bamboo Forest for a drink, not leaving until we’re drunk today!"

When Ye Jingli was saying other things, Ye Jingcheng didn’t interrupt, but when the other took out two pieces of Spirit Jade, he felt some guilt for only sending a Flying Puppet to the Ye Family.

Due to the Taiyi Sect’s agreement, even if it wasn’t a Flying Puppet, there might have been no problem if he had come personally.

But to be cautious, he still used the Flying Puppet.

"Come, let’s drink!" Even Ye Jingyun, who usually preferred Spirit Tea, shouted.

The others quickly followed, heading toward the Bamboo Forest.

No other place seemed more fitting.

For they always felt the Bamboo Forest retained the essence of Lingyun Peak, carrying the air of the past.

Rain fell lightly on the bamboo leaves, and with lively laughter, they drank to the past!

It was still the pavilion from those years, though riddled with grooves and having been repaired numerous times.

At this moment, it appeared pleasing to everyone.

The wine was Cyan Bamboo Wine, the tea was Spring Tea.

The spiritual cuisine was Red Section Fish, and the people were the same group from back then.

"I’ve kept this wine for seventy years!" Ye Xingqun said with a hint of bravado, gingerly taking out a jar of wine from his storage bag.

The carefulness was something Ye Jingcheng was seeing for the first time.

He gently brushed off the dust, removed the cover, and the Spirit Fragrance spread instantly.

"We couldn’t open this wine without everyone’s presence from back then!" Ye Xingqun declared confidently, looking at the others.

In this moment, there was no difference in cultivation, no distance between uncles and nephews.

Only mouthfuls of enthusiastic drinks.

As their spirits soared, they all ended up rarefully drunk.

No one used their cultivation to dissipate the alcohol’s effect.

Of course, even inebriated, they didn’t forget to prepare gifts for Ye Jingcheng’s two children.

Ye Jingyun prepared two bottles of meticulously refined spirit pills with pill patterns, and his exclusive alchemy experiences; though not matching Ye Jingcheng’s, it was his token of sentiment.

Moreover, both of Ye Jingcheng’s children had Fire Spirit Roots.

Ye Xingqun prepared some of his finest spirit insects, evidently wishing to cultivate the two grandnephews into insect cultivators.

He also prepared a few wine recipes, causing Ye Jingcheng to pretend a stern face, leading everyone to burst into laughter.

Ye Xingliu’s gift was two compound array discs.

The array discs were Tier Two Top-Grade, but included three sub-arrays: defensive, offensive, and trapping.

Highly practical, while Ye Jingyu’s gift was simple: a snake egg and an eagle egg.

Both spirit eggs were quite extraordinary, purchased by Ye Jingyu during the auction at Celestial Horse Pass.

At that time, even Purple Mansion cultivators were setting up stalls.

The two spirit eggs also had a long-lasting presence.

Of course, when Ye Jingcheng glanced at the eagle egg, it seemed ordinary, merely a spirit egg of a Sea Fish Eagle, possessing some bloodline of the Cyan Roc, capable of advancing three times, with the greatest potential being only a Tier Four Demon King, requiring vast resources as a prerequisite.

But upon seeing the snake egg, Ye Jingcheng was astonished beyond measure.

For the Treasure Light within him shone again.

The snake egg had five layers of spiritual light, surpassing even Ye Jingyu’s Jade Qilin Flood Dragon in strength.

Ultimately, it could become a Rock Flood Dragon.

It was incredibly suitable for Ye Qingnian, considering the latter had Fire, Earth, and Water Three Spirit Roots.

"Fourth Brother, this spirit egg is quite precious..." Ye Jingcheng, even somewhat tipsy, spoke.

And Ye Jingyu replied:

"Jingcheng, no matter how precious, it’s not more precious than my niece and nephew!"

Ye Jingcheng smiled at this and refrained from commenting further.

He collected both.

Observing Ye Jingyu begin taking out treasures, he successively withdrew Profound Sun Spirit Water, Seven-Star Fruit, essence blood of the Post-Hyperion Qilin Lion, essence blood of the Bone Flame Demon Fox...

And numerous spirit materials for Ye Jingcheng’s Tier Four Advancement Pill.

Moving Ye Jingcheng immeasurably.

With these collections and those he had gathered, Ye Jingcheng had completely assembled the ingredients for the Tier Four Golden Scale Pill.

For the Tier Four Red Flame Pill, only one main ingredient remained, and most of the Jade Qilin Pill, Five-Colored Pill, and Golden Falcon Pill had been gathered.

This indicated, over the next several years, Ye Jingcheng’s cultivation would be remarkably smooth.

"Fourth Brother!" Ye Jingcheng felt even more touched now.

Ye Jingyu’s return from the East Sea was not an easy feat, facing numerous potential risks.

Yet he persistently kept an eye on the spirit medicines and essence blood Ye Jingcheng needed.

"Jingcheng, don’t be like this. You’ve given me plenty of advancement pills for spirit beasts. Fourth Brother doesn’t have much to return; if you think it’s not enough, just drink a few more cups!" Ye Jingyu laughed as he spoke.

Both raised their cups again.

After finishing a cup, Ye Jingcheng began taking from his own storage bag.

His Ye Family kinsmen gave him treasured gifts; how could he be stingy?
