On the mountainside of Lingyun Peak stands a magnificent hall, heavily guarded, accessible only by a winding, moss-flecked stone staircase.

  Beside the stone steps lie meadows dotted with spirit flowers of peculiar hues.

  Ye Jingcheng dared not linger, for this hall was the Ye Family's Treasure Pavilion, a pce for exchanging treasures.

  The meadows were part of a formation, and only the stone steps were immune to its effects, allowing passage.

  He had stored a fair amount of Spirit Feeding Pills, but the Crimson Fme Fox consumed them quickly, and with the addition of a Jade Ring Rat, his supply was depleted in less than ten days.

  He needed to visit the Treasure Pavilion to exchange for more spirit herbs, then return to the Pill Pavilion to refine more Spirit Feeding Pills, and also pnned to exchange for some spirit beast meat.

  Moreover, if possible, he wanted to gather the spirit herbs for the ancient book's pill formu as soon as possible.

  Soon, he crossed the stone steps and arrived at the hall. Many cultivators were there, exchanging treasures.

  Among them was Ye Jingcheng's second brother, Ye Jingyong, who had also exchanged for a Flying Cloud Leopard. Logically, its appetite should be even greater than his Crimson Fme Fox.

  Thus, as Ye Jingcheng exited the Treasure Pavilion, he could clearly see Ye Jingyong's distressed face. One should know that when he took the Flying Cloud Leopard, Ye Jingyong had been beaming with pride!

  "Second Brother!" Ye Jingcheng greeted.

  Ye Jingyong gnced over, and upon seeing Ye Jingcheng, he smiled wryly, "Jingcheng, are you here to exchange for spirit food too? I finally understand why our Ye Family is so poor!" Ye Jingyong said with a troubled expression.

  "I've been here three times already, my spirit herbs are gone, and my contribution points are empty!"

  "You have two spirit beasts, you must have come several times!"

  "Yes!" Ye Jingcheng nodded. Although this was his first time, seeing Ye Jingyong's longing gaze, he nodded anyway.

  "Right, Jingcheng, since you're here, Second Brother will take you to get spirit stones, guaranteed enough for you to squander for a while!" Ye Jingyong suddenly remembered something, rubbing his thumb against his index and middle fingers, finally revealing a smile.

  However, Ye Jingcheng was skeptical.

  Those of the Jing generation had grown up on Lingyun Peak, and he knew Ye Jingyong's personality well.

  He dared not compliment his idea of getting spirit stones.

  "Don't worry, it's not me, Fourth Brother is leading the team, he gave me the news, do you believe me now!"

  "Fourth Brother is calling?" Ye Jingcheng was somewhat tempted now. Fourth Brother Ye Jingyu was the complete opposite of Second Brother Ye Jingyong, one was the brains of the Ye Family's Jing generation, and the other was a reckless man! "Of course, but Fourth Brother said to wait another month!" Ye Jingyong said.

  Seeing Ye Jingcheng nod, he leaned closer to Ye Jingcheng's ear.

  "It's the Demon Valley that the family swept through, there's a spirit vein there, it will definitely attract demon beasts!"

  After speaking, Ye Jingyong bid farewell and left.

  After pondering for a while, Ye Jingcheng also nodded. His Fourth Brother was indeed the brains; the Demon Valley was left with a lot of bloody aura, and those powerful demon beasts would not return so quickly. Instead, those first-order early-stage demon beasts would be unable to resist the temptation of the spirit vein and would occupy it first.

  If this timing was grasped well, there would be no worry about gains.

  Of course, Ye Jingcheng agreed for another reason: Ye Jingyu's father was the Ye Family's patriarch, Ye Xingliu.

  He was also one of the Ye Family's only two Foundation Establishment cultivators. For Ye Jingyu to go, he must have a life-saving trump card in his hand, so even if there was any danger, he would not really perish.

  Ye Jingcheng pondered for a while, then shook his head to dispel the thought. There was still a month, so there was no need to be so anxious.

  Following that, he stepped into the Treasure Pavilion, holding the Ye Family token, and began to exchange for spiritual herbs.

  In charge of the Treasure Pavilion was Ye Jingcheng's eighth grandfather, Ye Haiping.

  "Eighth Grandpa!" Ye Jingcheng proactively stepped forward to help Ye Haiping tidy up the spiritual herbs he had just taken out, which were only half remaining, and pced them back on the counter behind.

  The Ye Family's spiritual herbs were divided into two types: those below first-grade middle quality were mostly pced in the magic tool counter behind for nurturing, while those of first-grade middle quality and above were pced in the Ye Family's storage bags and stored with spirit jade.

  "Jingcheng, Eighth Grandpa can do it himself, it won't take long!"

  "Eighth Grandpa, Jingcheng is just eager to exchange for spiritual herbs!" Ye Jingcheng replied with a smile.

  Hearing Ye Jingcheng say this, Ye Haiping knew it was Ye Jingcheng's good intention, so he simply let Ye Jingcheng help.

  After a few breaths, the sorting was completed.

  "What do you want to exchange for?" Ye Haiping cpped his hands.

  "Ten portions of spiritual herbs for Spirit Feeding Pills, twenty pounds of spirit beast meat, two Detoxification Pills to recover from injuries, and two Blood Essence Pills!" Ye Jingcheng said one by one.

  These were all the excuses he had thought of long ago. The Crimson Fme Fox couldn't recover suddenly; it had to be revealed little by little.

  Then give everyone a process.

  Ye Haiping heard it, and he asked with some surprise, "Has that Crimson Fme Fox recovered?"

  Ye Jingcheng shook his head, "There's no such luck. It just has some vitality left, and the poison seems to have faded a bit. Jingcheng is just hoping for a lucky find."

  "It's good as long as it's alive. That beast is not simple. If it can survive, it means its talent is beyond our expectations. You kid is indeed lucky!" Ye Haiping also nodded, praising him.

  If it were a Crimson Fme Fox cub in its prime, it would cost at least six or seven hundred contribution points, so Ye Jingcheng had definitely found a bargain this time.

  As Ye Haiping spoke, he also grabbed some spiritual herbs for Spirit Feeding Pills from the magic tool counter behind. Before long, he had grabbed ten portions.

  In addition, he took out a huge wooden box from the spirit beast bag. The surface of the wooden box was also affixed with a spirit talisman.

  The spirit talisman was removed by Ye Haiping, revealing the flesh of a first-grade Iron Skin Pig inside, exactly twenty pounds!

  Finally, he took out two pill bottles, each containing two pills.

  "The spiritual herbs for Spirit Feeding Pills are 2 contribution points per portion, totaling twenty contribution points. Spirit beast meat is 1 contribution point for 2 pounds, totaling ten contribution points. Detoxification Pills and Blood Essence Pills are 5 contribution points each, totaling twenty contribution points. All together, it's fifty contribution points!"

  Ye Jingcheng also nodded and handed over his Ye Family token, and the contribution points were deducted.

  The spirit beast meat and spiritual herb materials fell into his storage bag.

  "Eighth Grandpa, can Jingcheng ask you for some more guidance?" Ye Jingcheng took out a jade slip.

  He engraved all the unfamiliar spiritual herbs he had seen in the ancient book into it.

  "This is a Blue Fish Fruit, named because it closely resembles a blue fish. It is a first-grade high-quality spiritual fruit..."

  Ye Haiping expined to Ye Jingcheng one by one! After listening, Ye Jingcheng felt a little bitter in his heart. That spiritual pill was at least a first-grade high-quality spiritual pill, which he could not refine with his current alchemy skills.

  "Eighth Grandpa, then I'll exchange for some more spirit talismans. Exchange for two Golden Sword Talismans, two Wooden Vine Talismans, and two Water Shield Talismans!" Ye Jingcheng hesitated for a while, then took out the token again.

  "Good!" Ye Haiping also reached into his storage bag again, quickly pulling out six spirit talismans. These spirit talismans were all Rank 1 middle-grade, and even within the Ye Family, they cost ten contribution points each to exchange for.

  "That's 60 contribution points in total!"
