But Ye Jingteng was different.
Even though his direction was completely different from that of the Ye Family, he still had some affection for the family.
However, if possible, Ye Jingcheng still needed to find another market.
Frequent visits to the Taiyi Sect would ultimately lead to being discovered.
"Big brother, try the family's latest Tier Two Yunfu Tea!" Ye Jingcheng poured spirit tea for Ye Jingteng, while secretly taking out a jade box of spirit tea.
These spirit teas were also Tier Two Yunfu Tea.
"Big brother, you can bring some of this spirit tea to your teacher, so our Ye Family's relationship in the Taiyi Sect will be more solid!"
"Jingcheng, you're really thoughtful." Ye Jingteng nodded repeatedly and unceremoniously stored away the spirit tea.
The Supreme Taihao was also a tea lover, and Tier Two spirit tea was not particularly cheap for Purple Mansion cultivators.
"Jingcheng, here are the spirit medicines you wanted!" With that, he took out a storage bag.
Inside this storage bag were some materials for Tier Three Golden Scale Pill.
Once the Golden Scale Beast Breathing Technique was completed, along with the essence blood of the Earth Qilin Lion, Ye Jingcheng prioritized them just like the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon.
"Thank you, big brother!" Ye Jingcheng saw several eight-hundred-year-old spirit medicines inside.
Aside from the three-tier Earth Cloud Ganoderma and three-tier Golden Root Fruit over a thousand years old, the ingredients for the Golden Scale Pill were almost complete.
A joyful expression appeared on his face as he nonchalantly handed over another storage bag.
"It's strange, I used to be pointed out by the sect stewards, but lately, there have been unexpected gifts!" Ye Jingteng said with some puzzlement as he collected the storage bag.
"Perhaps they noticed you're close to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and given your aptitude, you should be among the top in the Taiyi Sect." Ye Jingcheng responded without a second thought.
"Indeed, I feel the previous frustration has vanished, and reaching the late stage of Foundation Establishment is just a matter of time!" Ye Jingteng nodded, clearly pleased with Ye Jingcheng's words.
"Jingcheng, have there been any promising seedlings in the family lately? Bring them to the sect, and with my help, Foundation Establishment should be no problem." Ye Jingteng spoke again, a cunning look in his eyes.
"Of course, I had already planned for this without you needing to say it, big brother!" Ye Jingcheng replied eagerly.
He had noticed a few young clan members in the family who weren't very cohesive towards the Ye Family.
These clan members used to be close to Ye Jinghe.
After Ye Jinghe's incident, they became self-destructive, fearing the family's approach.
Ye Jingcheng planned to send these individuals into the sect.
This would both warn other clan members and allow these individuals to reach their potential.
After chatting with Ye Jingteng for a while longer, he finally stopped.
"Big brother, Jing Li's artifact refining skill has improved recently; if possible, I'd appreciate it if you could exchange some of these spirit materials." Ye Jingcheng took out a new jade talisman, containing the materials for a magical treasure.
Ye Jingteng didn't bother to look and directly nodded his agreement.
"Don't worry, Jingcheng, your affairs are my affairs!"
"Then I'll have to trouble you, big brother!" Ye Jingcheng raised his teacup, clinking it with Ye Jingteng's, immediately creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
...
Ye Jingteng rarely stayed at Lingyun Peak for a day and shared stories of the Taichang Mountain Range with the inner hall clan members.
Originally, Ye Jingteng wanted to give a lesson to the family's Immortal Seedlings, but Ye Jingcheng naturally couldn't let Ye Jingteng lecture the Qing generation.
It was only after much hesitation that Ye Jingcheng agreed to let him lecture the inner hall clan members, which greatly satisfied Ye Jingteng.
At least in his view, this was a good start.
In the past, this would have been impossible with the elder clan members.
In Ye Jingteng's eyes, the gap between the Ye Family and the Taiyi Sect was too large. Instead of being self-righteous and developing independently, it was better to take over.
This required many Ye Family members to enter the Taiyi Sect and unite as one.
Thus influencing not just one peak, but the entire sect.
Ye Jingcheng couldn't judge the merits of Ye Jingteng's ambitions nor agree with his methods.
But at least Ye Jingteng had a heart for the family and could create value for the Ye Family.
In his view, that was still acceptable.
...
After Ye Jingteng left, life settled down again. The Yuan Family became more honest, while the Wei Family prospered greatly. Due to a pest infestation, more people realized the importance of arrays, leading to significant sales of Wei Family's array discs.
However, the number of loose cultivators in the Taihang Market decreased.
Naturally, the Ye Family's profits in the Taihang Market also decreased significantly.
It seemed that with the re-emergence of True Monarch Ziji, all the spies had withdrawn.
Meanwhile, the income from Taichang Market increased once again.
...
Two more months passed, and sunlight streamed through the window onto Ye Jingcheng's bed.
Ye Jingcheng awoke from cultivation, feeling the strengthening of the True Essence within him, making his smile even more pronounced.
Though the True Essence hadn't greatly increased.
It had become much more refined compared to when he first broke through.
As he prepared to release the Crimson Flame Fox for alchemy, the array of Lingyun Peak suddenly changed, concentrating the Spiritual Energy from the entire mountain in one direction.
Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng finally rejoiced.
This phenomenon clearly indicated that Ye Jingyun was about to break through.
The latter had spent the last half a year grinding the Spiritual Energy to increase the chances of breaking through.
Ye Jingcheng hadn't gone to the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, waiting for Ye Jingyun to break through.
With considerable talent in family management, Ye Jingcheng only wanted Ye Jingyun to keep the family's situation from worsening.
Ye Xingqun needed to stay hidden after breaking through Foundation Establishment, and Ye Jingli and Ye Jingyong weren't suited for leadership roles. Only Ye Jingyun seemed well-suited.
Ye Jingcheng left his courtyard and quickly arrived outside Ye Jingyun's courtyard.
Ye Jingyun had relocated to a courtyard near his when his alchemy skill reached Tier One Top Grade.
By the time he arrived, other clan members had also gathered at the scene.
Among them, Ye Jingyu was also present.
"Seventh Sister!" Ye Jingcheng exclaimed upon seeing Ye Jingyu.
At this moment, Ye Jingyu was completely different from when she was in the market.
The pure brilliance in her eyes was gone. The Seventh Sister who stood on the Spiritual Ship and urged Ye Jingcheng to strive was no longer there.
Even the confident manner she had in the Taichang Market, persuading cultivators to buy the Ye Family's spirit pills, had vanished.
She hadn't advanced in cultivation compared to five years ago.
Still at Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer.
Perhaps the milestone of sixty had suppressed her, or perhaps she had become despondent upon realizing there was no hope.
She had returned from Taichang Market and rejoined the Ye Family's Spirit Plant Hall, cultivating spirit medicines in the spirit medicine garden of Lingyun Peak.
"Patriarch." Ye Jingyu responded, glanced at the courtyard, looked at the damp earth beneath her feet, smirked self-deprecatingly, and said nothing more.
Ye Jingyun was the ninth in line, while she was the seventh.
She witnessed Ye Jingyun break through ahead of her.
This is the Cultivation Realm.
"Seventh Sister, why not keep trying? No one in the Cultivation Realm said you can't break through after sixty!" Ye Jingcheng encouraged.
Ye Jingyu merely nodded, seemingly unaffected by his words.
"Uncle Xinghan has broken through; you could consult him!" Ye Jingcheng continued.
Hearing this, Ye Jingyu was initially stunned but then stared wide-eyed at Ye Jingcheng.
She understood well what it meant for Ye Xinghan to break through at almost eighty.
"The Great Dao never favors the decadent!" Ye Jingcheng added.
At that moment, a wave of Spiritual Energy rippled outwards from inside.
It passed beyond the courtyard, array, and everyone, reaching the distant wilderness and sky!
That was clearly the aura of Foundation Establishment.
But what resonated in Ye Jingyu's mind wasn't the aura of Foundation Establishment, but Ye Jingcheng's words, The Great Dao never favors the decadent!
Indeed, Ye Jingyun didn't possess a good spirit root; he too had Four Spirit Roots, yet he never slackened in his efforts.
