Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Yan Country, Taihang Prefecture, Lingyun Peak.

In Ye Jingcheng's courtyard, the verdant forsythia bushes sprouted tender buds, a delightful sight, while the nearby apricot tree was covered in snowy white blossoms.

A few apricot petals, blooming too exuberantly, were carried by the wind onto the dark hair of a woman in a green dress.

She gently picked one up, held it in her palm, and gazed through it towards the distance.

She murmured:

"Fourth Grandpa, you bloom so many flowers every year, you must be very powerful. Please protect Jingcheng and ensure his breakthrough is successful!"

This female cultivator was none other than Chu Yanqing. Ten years had passed, and naturally, she was somewhat worried about Ye Jingcheng.

After all, she had heard that when a Zifu cultivator breaks through to the Jindan stage, they must face a lightning tribulation.

Ye Jingcheng was not attempting his breakthrough on Lingyun Peak, so she was naturally concerned.

At that moment, a gentle knock sounded on the door.

"Eleventh Uncle-Grandmother," a soft voice called out. Chu Yanqing replied:

"Come in, Yunxi!" As the courtyard door opened, an eleven-year-old girl stepped inside.

Despite her young age, Ye Yunxi already possessed a cultivation base at the third level of Qi training.

It should be known that Ye Yunxi had only been cultivating for a little over a year.

This was enough to demonstrate the formidable talent of someone with a Water Spiritual Root.

She might even become the Ye family's first Foundation Establishment cultivator in their teens.

"Have you encountered any problems in your cultivation these past few days?" Chu Yanqing asked with great patience.

Ye Yunxi, after all, possessed not only the Ye family's bloodline but also the Chu family's.

She was the granddaughter of Ye Jingyong and Chu Yanliu.

More specifically, she was the youngest daughter of Ye Jingyong's fourth son.

Although Ye Yunxi had a Heaven Spiritual Root, her father was an ordinary person without any spiritual root. It could be said that she was truly fortunate to possess such talent.

"No problems, it's just that what they teach at the clan school is so slow, Uncle-Grandmother. Can I skip clan school?" Ye Yunxi stuck out her tongue, speaking with a hint of mischief.

"You! It's a good thing your Eleventh Uncle-Grandfather isn't here, or you'd be scolded. You can neglect any cultivation, but clan school is not to be slacked off, and don't forget to love your fellow clansmen!" Chu Yanqing gently tapped Ye Yunxi's head.

The Ye family's clan school was the strictest she had ever seen, and she had personally experienced it. Indeed, the clansmen who came from the Ye family's clan school had a stronger sense of unity, which greatly benefited the family.

Of course, she couldn't help but dote on Ye Yunxi somewhat and was unwilling to be too strict.

"Alright, it's time to practice your lessons!" Chu Yanqing paused for a moment, then spoke with a slightly hardened heart.

With Chu Yanqing's words, Ye Yunxi hurriedly went inside to meditate.

Of course, as she entered, she didn't forget to stroke the two little Jade Ring Rats that were kept by the door.

These two little Jade Ring Rats had been sent to Chu Yanqing by a clansman. Not only did Chu Yanqing like them, but Ye Yunxi also did.

They ate little and liked to bow.

"Little rats, I'll contract you in the future!" Ye Yunxi pressed on the little Jade Ring Rat's head, regardless of whether the Jade Ring Rat knew or agreed.

"You won't think that way in the future!" Chu Yanqing said with a smile from behind.

After Ye Yunxi went inside, Chu Yanqing followed, set up the formation, and began to teach.

However, before long, a sound transmission talisman flew over.

Chu Yanqing glanced at it and headed towards the family's council hall.

Unlike before, when the Ye family was wary of Chu Yanqing, now, Chu Yanqing was completely considered one of the family.

With her decades of dedication and meticulous teaching in the Artifact Refining Pavilion, all the Ye family's artifact refining clansmen were grateful to Chu Yanqing.

When Chu Yanqing entered the hall, she saw that Ye Jingyun, Ye Jingli, Ye Xinghan, and other Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Ye family had already gathered.

Ye Jingyun had returned after Ye Jinghu, Ye Jingyu, and Ye Qingyan announced their seclusion. After all, the Ye family needed someone to preside over the overall situation. Ye Jingli was not steady enough, and Ye Xinghan was negligent in political affairs.

Ye Jingyun was just right. Coincidentally, Ye Qingyan was now also a Tier-2 mid-grade alchemist. In addition, he had brought out many alchemy clansmen in the Ye family and could go to Taichang Bazaar to sit in the Pill Pavilion, replacing Ye Jingyun.

"Sister-in-law, the reason I called you here this time is because there is something important to discuss," Ye Jingyun said directly, without concealing anything.

"Ninth Brother, feel free to speak!" Chu Yanqing nodded with a smile.

Over the years, the Ye family had always given her priority access to spiritual fruits, spiritual teas, and some cute spiritual beast cubs, to see if she needed them.

It should be known that she had never been treated so well even in the Chu family.

Therefore, she did not feel like an outsider in the Ye family, and she was naturally willing to help with small favors.

"The family's chamber of commerce discovered a Wood Demon during their business travels, but this Wood Demon may be at Tier-2 late stage. We are worried that we will fail and alarm the Wood Demon!" Ye Jingyun said.

Ye Xinghan next to him was also looking expectantly. Although the Ye family had a Sunflower Wood Demon planted on Lingyun Peak, it had all been tamed by Ye Jingcheng. He naturally planned to continue to complete his previous wish with the blood contract he had researched.

Moreover, from the Wood Demon spirit trees that the Ye family had encountered, each one was extraordinary.

This time, it might be another opportunity for the Ye family.

The reason for letting Chu Yanqing take action was also because Ye Jingyun and Ye Xinghan wanted to be more cautious.

After all, the Wood Demon was not in Yan Country but in the Zhao Country's cultivation world next door.

That place belonged to the Medicine King Valley's sphere of influence. The Ye family could not deploy too many people or delay for too long. After all, many of the Ye family's Foundation Establishment cultivators were supporting the East Sea, and the Ye family was currently short of manpower.

"Of course, there's no problem. Where is the Wood Demon located?" Chu Yanqing asked.

"At the border between Xin'an Prefecture and Shanling Prefecture in Zhao Country," Ye Jingyun said directly.

"No problem!" Chu Yanqing nodded, but she inexplicably remembered the Zhang family of Shanling Prefecture. Ye Jingcheng had previously asked her to use the Star Illusion Eye to investigate an unusual mountain in Shanling Prefecture.

"Alright, this matter is more important, so we will set off in two days. Of course, the family will directly close the mountain during these days!" Ye Jingyun said again.

This time, he was speaking to the rest of the clansmen.

After all, Ye Family's Lingyun Peak lacked high-end combat power, and with Chu Yanqing also leaving the mountain, they naturally had to be careful.

"Sixth Brother, you may have to work hard these days. Recently, there have been many rumors outside that our Ye family has lost many clansmen. I am worried that some ignorant rogue cultivators may come to cause trouble!" Ye Jingyun looked at Ye Jingli again.

Currently, Ye Jingli was also in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Although his spiritual root was not good, he had a Tier-2 late-stage Crimson Flame Scale Python and a Tier-2 late-stage Red-Crowned Sea Crane that had advanced twice, which greatly boosted his cultivation.

"Jingyun, rest assured, I am not the me of more than ten years ago!"

"Moreover, the false news seems to be spreading not only about our Ye family but also about various families!" Ye Jingli patted his chest and guaranteed.

Hearing this, Ye Jingyun's face immediately fell.

"Sixth Brother, don't be too confident. If it doesn't work, apply to have Big Brother bring Qingshuang to the Ye family for a visit. After all, he has broken through to the Zifu stage!" Seeing Ye Jingli's confident appearance, Ye Jingyun was still a little afraid.

Currently, Ye Jingteng had already broken through to the Zifu stage, and he was grateful to Ye Jingcheng.

It was natural for him to come to Lingyun Peak to protect the Ye family.

Moreover, there were almost no secrets on Ye Family's Lingyun Peak now. After all, some treasures had already been transferred by the family.

"It's better to avoid Big Brother if possible. If he sees Yunxi, it won't be good!" Ye Jingli shook his head repeatedly, immediately becoming extremely serious.

Hearing this, Ye Jingyun also sighed.

In the current situation, the blame lies in the fact that the Ye family's strength is still progressing somewhat slowly.

Although, in his opinion, the Ye family had already made a qualitative leap in the past few decades.

However, the lack of high-level combat power was still a major weakness.

And the most crucial thing was that there were more and more things happening in the cultivation world recently.

In addition to someone secretly collecting spiritual veins and spirit stones, many families had inexplicably started fighting.

Clearly, someone was stirring up trouble in the dark.

"Sixth Brother, since you are unwilling to invite Big Brother, send a jade talisman message to the Taichang Mountains to ask Big Brother if there have been any abnormalities in Yan Country recently!" Ye Jingyun added once again.

This time, Ye Jingli did not refuse.

Just sending a message, not involving other things, he naturally agreed. Moreover, as Ye Jingyun said, with Ye Jingcheng not around, they naturally had to protect Lingyun Peak and fulfill their responsibility as Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Ye family.
