Under the crimson sun of Chixiao Heaven, the Spirit Wine seemed more exhilarating to drink.

The two of them took out bowls to drink together, spilling quite a bit of Spirit Wine during the process.

The Spirit Wine that fell on the ground quickly disappeared.

"Jingcheng, your Spiritual Cuisine is becoming more refined. The family should open a new restaurant in Taichang Market. I can bring more of our brothers along," said Ye Jingteng after finishing the Spirit Wine, speaking with growing boldness.

Ye Jingcheng nodded with a smile, agreeing repeatedly.

Although his choice of ingredients for this Spiritual Cuisine wasn't top-tier, his mastery of the heat was far beyond what it used to be.

However, compared to being a Spirit Chef, he was more interested in becoming an Alchemy Master.

The former, in his view, pursued the culinary arts for most cultivators, while the latter embodied the true Immortal Dao.

This Spirit Banquet started with just Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingteng, but Ye Xingyi joined in later.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng had specifically summoned him.

As for Ye Jingyu and Ye Jingyun, even though Ye Jingcheng sent them messages, they declined, citing unresolved matters at the shop.

Ye Jingcheng didn't insist further since most family members kept a distance from Ye Jingteng.

This was why Ye Jingteng liked to seek out Ye Jingcheng; firstly, Ye Jingcheng's clear eyes and persuasive conversation endeared him, and secondly, not many in the Ye Family treated him so well.

"Big brother, I recently wanted to ask the family to forge a convenient Magical Artifact. I'm not sure if you can exchange for these Spirit Ores?" Ye Jingcheng had already communicated with Ye Xingliu through the Ten Thousand Miles Order.

Three kinds of Spirit Ores remained in Stone Square.

One was Yellow Cloud Rock Marrow, the other two were Purple Maple Gravel and Void Nether Meteorite.

The first two weren't valuable Tier Two Spirit Materials; instead, they were Tier One yet rare materials, and the Ye Family hadn't found them even after searching throughout the Eastern Domain. They were now still searching in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain.

The Void Nether Meteorite was more precious, used to establish a Teleportation Array.

If there had been more time, Ye Jingcheng wouldn't have mentioned the Void Nether Meteorite.

Of course, this Meteorite Iron can also be used to make a Spirit Beast Bracelet or a Storage Bracelet.

"I can handle it. I've seen all three in the Sect Hall," Ye Jingteng agreed directly.

Ye Jingcheng sighed in relief at this.

With only over half a month left, although acquiring the remaining materials was merely a matter of time for the family, if Ye Jingteng could obtain them quickly, it would be much better for him.

After all, the Stone Spirit might need time to devour the Stone Square, and space development could require even more time.

"These are Spiritual Almonds from Lingyun Peak. Try some too, big brother," said Ye Jingcheng, taking out a few almonds after the meal.

The almonds were small, and Ye Jingteng tried a few but didn't eat many or say much.

Before long, he left.

Ye Jingcheng, however, ate the almonds with great enjoyment.

The sweet flavor, tinged with a hint of astringency, echoed the joys and hardships of the path of cultivation.

Moreover, these almonds had traveled from far away, not close to Lingyun Peak.

Perhaps he shouldn't have taken them out, but Ye Jingcheng sighed inwardly.

A scene of Ye Haiyun flashed through his mind.

"Hope everything goes well," Ye Jingcheng murmured to himself in a voice only he could hear. He had been in Taichang Market for two years now.

However, he estimated that he might encounter the latter during the expansion.

"Jingcheng, lately the Blood Burst Pills aren't selling as well as before," said Ye Xingyi after Ye Jingteng left.

Blood Burst Pills were a formula obtained by the Ye Family for free, and their effects had been surprisingly well-received.

Apparently, with the opening of the Secret Realm, all the major cultivators were tirelessly seeking ways to increase their strength.

For other cultivators, Spirit Beasts weren't as important, and as long as the Blood Burst Pill could enhance their power, they would reserve one even if it meant losing the potential or life of a Spirit Beast.

"Limit it like the Jade Soul Pills; this isn't the time to earn Spirit Stones," Ye Jingcheng advised.

Ye Xingyi nodded, surprisingly without a word in return.

"Uncle Thirty-five, the denser the Spiritual Power, the more beneficial it will be to break through to Foundation Establishment," Ye Jingcheng continued.

Many Ninth-level Qi Cultivation Cultivators often became complacent, letting their guard down when their cultivation progress seemed stagnant, but this was absolutely wrong.

Unless they've become indulgent past sixty years old.

Otherwise, reaching sixty at the Ninth Layer should mean striving even harder, so that even without a Foundation Establishment Pill, they might attempt a breakthrough just before turning sixty.

At worst, accept the end and perish.

Ye Jingteng's three treasures arrived the next day. Ye Jingcheng also asked him to find Tier Two Golden Scale Pill and Tier Two Three-Colored Pill Spirit Medicines.

These Spirit Medicines weren't available in the market, nor did the Jin Family have them.

He specifically included some unrelated rare Spirit Medicines when placing the order.

Ye Jingcheng wouldn't waste these Spirit Medicines; those that could be refined into pills would be, and those that couldn't would be fed to the Three-Colored Cloud Deer.

Though it required more Spirit Stones.

Thus, Ye Jingcheng only needed to wait for the family to bring the remaining Stone Square Spiritual Materials.

As he waited, time seemed to slow, and ten days felt like months had passed.

Ye Jingcheng didn't wait for the clan cultivators to arrive but suddenly noticed a large Spiritual Energy Vortex forming in his main room.

The Beast Communication Pattern within him began to emit waves of rich and pure Spiritual Energy.

This Spiritual Energy was no less potent than the Fire Phase Spiritual Power of a mid-stage Second Tier Red Flame Fox.

Even slightly above it, this made Ye Jingcheng instantly ecstatic.

This signified the Jade Qilin Snake would successfully advance.

He once again had several array discs appear in his hand and began to form an array around him. The movement from the Jade Qilin Snake's breakthrough seemed bigger than that of the Red Flame Fox.

Perhaps that array wouldn't be enough to contain all the commotion.

Ye Jingcheng didn't dare to gamble at this moment, as the second Spirit Shadow in the Treasure Book had already transformed into a Flood Dragon Shadow.

With two additional array discs placed down, the Treasure Light connected into a sheet and the spiritual energy fluctuations inside diminished dramatically, Ye Jingcheng finally let out a sigh of relief.

But simultaneously, he entered the room again to retrieve several middle-grade Water Spirit Stones, placing them into the Spirit Gathering Array.

Yet, he still felt uneasy, so he took out a token and hung it at the entrance of the courtyard. On it were markings of a Secret Technique.

As time went by, the spiritual energy in the room became more and more intense, with the white light reaching the pinnacle of richness.

Ye Jingcheng also found himself changing spirit stones more and more frequently.

After more than half a day had passed, the spiritual light gradually subsided.

Ye Jingcheng gazed expectantly inside, only to see the room filled with a massive white-scaled Flood Dragon about six to seven zhang (about 20 meters) long.

The Jade Qilin Flood Dragon almost occupied the entire room.

Only when curled up could it fit inside.

Compared to its previous pristine white jade appearance, it was now covered in white jade Flood Dragon scales.

These scales had a slight upward curve, cold light flickering off them, appearing extremely sharp.

Moreover, bulges on its underbelly had already grown into two Flood Dragon claws.

These Flood Dragon claws were not very large now and looked somewhat disproportionate.

Furthermore, they had a newborn, tender feeling.

The Flood Dragon tail was also quite different; previously, it was flat like a tail saber, but now it had become rounded, although with two Flood Dragon fins on the sides, as if inlaid with blades.

Giving it quite an odd appearance.

There was no doubt, however, that the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon fins would be far more terrifying than the former Jade Qilin tail saber.

"Roar!" Ever faced with Ye Jingcheng's continuous scrutiny, the Jade Qilin Snake was indeed a bit impatient; it was hungry.

Its head was now larger, it wished to stick out its tongue but found it somewhat regressed and could only roar deep lowly.

Even though it felt that the roar akin to that of the Golden Scale Beast seemed rather discomforting.

Its forehead bulges were now massive and, with two jade whiskers transforming into four, they rhythmically swayed with its head.

"It should still be just a half Flood Dragon." Ye Jingcheng speculated at this moment, after all, ancient records show Flood Dragons have two straight horns.

Regardless, Ye Jingcheng was extremely satisfied, for at this moment, the Jade Qilin Snake clearly exhibited the aura of mid-stage Tier Two.

Moreover, its aura was also slightly stronger than the three-tailed Red Flame Fox.

And it should be noted that the Red Flame Fox's breakthrough occurred nearly a year earlier.

"Roar!"

"Hungry!" The Jade Qilin Snake was more impatient now, it opened its mouth wide, which was now as big as a basin. It used to have only two fangs, which now turned into two rows, each fang no less intimidating than its former snake fangs.

Ye Jingcheng continued to feed it with Cyan Cloud Wolves.

One, two.

Ultimately, it swallowed five.

Its appetite had clearly grown compared to before.

Moreover, the Jade Qilin Snake, unlike beasts like the Red Flame Fox Golden Scale Beast, even after numerous breakthroughs, only ever wanted to eat and swallow whole.

No matter that the Cyan Cloud Wolf meat, considered tough and chewy by the entire cultivation realm, the Jade Qilin Snake would emit a contented burp after a full meal.

Its fangs had become merely for show.

Conversely, when Ye Jingcheng offered the most useful spirit pill, it would only emit a simple low roar, expressing its joy for Ye Jingcheng.

"Can you become smaller?" Although fond, Ye Jingcheng felt quite troubled at this moment.

His room was the west main room, not small, yet the Jade Qilin Snake filled it tightly.

Certainly, the Jade Qilin Snake should now be called a Jade Qilin Flood Dragon.

After consuming spirit pills and then digesting for a few breaths, the Jade Qilin Snake nodded its enormous Flood Dragon head.

In the next instant, it began to engulf itself in white jade spiritual aura, finally transforming into a three-foot-long little Flood Dragon.

Also, its divine soul continually conveyed to Ye Jingcheng, seemingly saying, although it grew smaller, its appetite hadn't shrunk.

Ye Jingcheng naturally nodded repeatedly.

Being smaller was more convenient.

However, he was incredibly curious about the Jade Qilin Snake's ability to advance again.

Seemingly sensing Ye Jingcheng's thoughts, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon swung its tail, and the pillars filled with arrays in Ye Jingcheng's room were instantly sliced through.

The array shattered, yet the pillars remained unscathed.

Only when divine sense examined them would one notice a line on the pillars.

Evidently, the pillars had cracked, but because the speed was so fast, the pillars didn't even have time to react and received no impact whatsoever.

Perhaps next time when the Jade Qilin Snake dispatches an opposing cultivator, there might be a few breaths' time before the latter realizes, as the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon Saber is even faster!
