Ye Jingyong spoke with great excitement, while Ye Jingyu smiled faintly, creating two distinct scenes in the room.

  Ye Jingcheng felt a bit dizzy upon hearing this. He hadn't expected that instead of worrying, the Ye Family seemed to value him even more.

  This somewhat confirmed his suspicions.

  He guessed that if the Crimson Fme Fox performed even better, he might learn more secrets of the Ye Family!

  At the thought of this, he became even more curious.

  In the end, he kept refilling Ye Jingyu and Ye Jingyong's tea.

  Ye Jingyu seemed to notice Ye Jingcheng's confusion.

  He said, "Jingcheng, focus on improving your cultivation and nurturing your spirit beasts. With your alchemy skills, your future is limitless!"

  "However, you must understand that the family's finances are always a major issue. Now that you're feeding two demon beasts, you'll mostly have to rely on yourself!"

  When Ye Jingyu spoke, he emphasized the words "spirit beasts."

  Ye Jingyong nodded in agreement, adding:

  "Jingcheng, once you become a First-Order Grade-Middle Alchemist, and with the Crimson Fme Fox, it's best if you oversee the Ye Family's shop in the Taihang Market. Hunting demons in the Mount Taihang Mountain Range is ultimately risky!"

  "Thank you for your advice, Fourth Brother and Second Brother. Jingcheng will seriously consider it!" Ye Jingcheng nodded upon hearing this.

  He was thinking the same thing, but when it came to the family's finances, he felt a bit strange. The Ye Family's methods of accumuting wealth were no less than other families, yet the impression given to all outside cultivators was that the Ye Family was very poor!

  He had a faint suspicion that the family's poverty might be due to raising high-level spirit beasts!

  Once this thought appeared, it lingered.

  After all, the current Ye Family Head's spirit beast was a Second-Order Blue-Eyed Hanging-Eye Tiger, which consumed massive amounts of spirit food and grains every day.

  And this was only what Ye Jingcheng knew.

  However, what pleased him most now was that he could learn new pill formus for free, without having to pay contribution points.

  Learning new pill formus required a significant number of contribution points.

  However, the trial-and-error costs of refining new pill formus would certainly be high.

  In an instant, the hand holding the Family Token didn't feel so warm anymore.

  After drinking some Spirit Tea, Ye Jingyu and Ye Jingyong bid farewell and left. Besides giving Ye Jingcheng contribution points, they also had to give some to Ye Jingli.

  Once the two had left, Ye Jingcheng continued his cultivation.

  Having finally seized an opportunity after returning from the Mount Taihang Mountain Range, he naturally had to grasp it.

  From his Storage Bag, he took out a fist-sized pill bottle, which contained a pill.

  This pill was called Azure Spirit Pill, suitable for Qi Refining Stage-Middle cultivators to improve their cultivation. One pill cost ten Spirit Stones, which he usually couldn't bear to use.

  Now that he had reached a critical moment for a breakthrough, which would also help him control the heat and improve his alchemy skills, he naturally wouldn't hesitate.

  As the Azure Spirit Pill entered his stomach, a surge of rich spiritual energy instantly appeared within his body and headed towards his Qi Sea.

  Ye Jingcheng didn't dare to sck off either, and quickly circuted the Li Fire Art.

  With ripples spreading out, the room quickly quieted down.

  Ye Jingcheng immersed himself in cultivation, while the Crimson Fme Fox y prone at the door. Only the Jade Ring Rat occasionally darted out of the house.

  In the world of cultivation, time is meaningless. Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

  Suddenly, Ye Jingcheng's body glowed red, and the next moment, a yer of spiritual energy rippled out slightly, slowly dispersing! The prone Crimson Fme Fox also darted up, staring with wide eyes.

  Ye Jingcheng opened his eyes and woke up from his cultivation.

  "Finally Qi Refining 5?? Stage!" Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but sigh, thinking about how he had been stuck Qi Refining 4?? Stage for four long years.

  At the same time, there was a surge of joy in his heart.

  He picked up the Crimson Fme Fox and poured a lot of spiritual light into it.

  As the spiritual light entered, the Crimson Fme Fox's fur became even more fiery red. At that moment, Ye Jingcheng even had the illusion that the fur had come alive like fmes.

  The Crimson Fme Fox began to chirp, its rge tail gently patting Ye Jingcheng.

  A pair of sky-blue pupils looked at Ye Jingcheng, its tongue stirring unconsciously.

  It was hungry again! Ye Jingcheng took out some Azure Cloud Wolf meat and a rge bowl of spring water.

  Long-Eared Deer meat was more expensive, so none of the four had kept any, leaving only the First-Order Azure Cloud Wolf meat.

  After feeding the Crimson Fme Fox, Ye Jingcheng also tidied up the room, keeping it spotless, fresh, and bright before leaving the courtyard.

  He headed towards the Treasure Pavilion.

  The Ye Family's Treasure Pavilion was divided into three floors. The first floor was for exchanging Spirit Stones and various spiritual materials, and the second floor was where the Ye Family pced their cultivation methods and secret techniques.

  Normal Ye Family cultivators could enter the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion three times for free in their lifetime. The first time was when they first came to the mountain to cultivate and choose a cultivation method, the second time was at Qi Refining 7?? Stage, when they could choose to change their cultivation method or retrieve the second half of their current one, and the third time was after Foundation Establishment.

  Of course, the three free accesses had different restrictions, especially the first choice, which was extremely limited.

  Besides the free opportunities, one could also exchange contribution points for some spells and pill formus! For example, the Fireball Spell, Wood Vine Spell, and Quicksand Spell were all basic spells, but they still required more than ten contribution points.

  Ye Jingcheng walked through the winding stone steps, and the Treasure Pavilion appeared before him. The pavilion's gate was wide open, and Ye Jingcheng immediately saw Ye Haiping organizing things. At that moment, he was holding a jade slip, seemingly studying something.

  Ye Jingcheng didn't speak but stood quietly.

  After a few breaths, Ye Haiping noticed Ye Jingcheng.

  "Jingcheng, what are you standing there for? Come in!"

  "Eighth Grandfather, I was worried about disturbing you while you were organizing the materials," Ye Jingcheng replied.

  "It's not a disturbance. Did you break through?" Ye Haiping shook his head, then sized up Ye Jingcheng's body before speaking with some surprise.

  "Yes, grandson is slow-witted and has only broken through now. I've made Eighth Grandfather ugh!"

  "Laugh at what? With Four Spiritual Roots, reaching Qi Refining 5?? Stage at your age is already very difficult!" Ye Haiping interrupted.

  "You're here to choose a pill formu, right?"

  "Yes!" Ye Jingcheng nodded.

  Ye Haiping nodded in agreement after hearing this and, without saying anything more, led Ye Jingcheng towards the second floor.

  The rooms on the second floor were narrower compared to the first floor.

  There were many bookshelves pced there, some holding ancient books, while most held jade scrolls.

  After passing through two rows of bookshelves filled with ancient books and one row filled with jade scrolls, Ye Haiping finally stopped.

  "Jingcheng, there are a total of seven types of First-Order Grade-Middle pill formus here. Choose freely!"

  Ye Jingcheng also nodded, looking towards the jade scrolls. The first one was impressively the Azure Spirit Pill, which was the very pill he had consumed.

  Next were the Body Tempering Pill, Azure Origin Pill, Qi Blood Pill, and so on...

  Ye Jingcheng hesitated upon seeing this. Naturally, he wanted the Azure Spirit Pill, as it was the most valuable, with one pill selling for as much as ten Spirit Stones. If he could refine three or four pills in one batch, the profits would be unimaginable.

  However, the Azure Spirit Pill was also the most difficult to refine.

  Secondly, for raising spirit beasts, the Spirit Feeding Pill was simir to a pill that provided cultivation and Qi Blood growth, excelling in bance. But if he really wanted to improve the strength of his spirit beast, the Body Tempering Pill was essential.
