The Wan family members on Wangyun Mountain lament their inability to break through Foundation Establishment and their reliance on the Ye family. Ye Xueliang appears, reaffirming the Ye family's promise but warning them that their restoration depends on their own efforts. Meanwhile, at Tai Cang Peak, Abbot Jingxin reveals to Su Xin the true purpose of Cyan Cloud Nunnery: to preserve the Ye family by marrying into it, and appoints Ye Xingsu as the new Nunnery Master and Patriarch of Cyan Cloud Peak's branch family.

Within a room at the One Leaf Pavilion in Taichang Market, flames blazed intensely. Three Tier Two Fire-Devouring Sparrows were actively expelling searing crimson flames.

The intensity of the flames escalated, causing more brilliant spirit shadows to emanate from the Three Qian Taihe Furnace. The pill furnace began to spin rapidly, and then, the flames gradually subsided.

"Condense!" Ye Qingyan whispered, his voice barely audible.

With that command, the flames dissipated, and the pill furnace, guided by the Spiritual Enhancement Secret Technique, also began to slow its rotation. The lid was lifted, revealing three smooth, crimson spirit pills.

"Finally, success!" A wave of joy washed over Ye Qingyan.

"I truly hope these prove beneficial for you!" After meticulously cleaning the pill furnace, Ye Qingyan carefully inspected the spirit pills.

These particular spirit pills were not concocted according to any known Ye Family pill formula. Instead, they were a new variant of the Vein-Protecting Pill.

The foundation for this new pill was the Tier One High-grade Vein Protection Pill. While the Tier One Advancement Pills sufficed for the Ye Family's spirit beasts, requiring only Tier One Vein Protection Pills, the situation changed drastically upon reaching Tier Two.

Ye Family spirit beasts at Tier Two, specifically those at Lingyun Peak, had encountered numerous unfortunate incidents. A significant number were unable to withstand the pressure of the Bloodline Qi, leading to instant implosion.

Therefore, the research and development of Tier Two Vein Protection Pills had become an urgent necessity. Rather than devising a completely novel pill formula, Ye Qingyan focused his efforts on enhancing the existing Vein Protection Pill.

His approach involved substituting some primary ingredients with equivalent Tier Two spirit medicines. Additionally, acknowledging the bloodline expansion triggered by the Advancement Pill, he incorporated spirit materials with a cold attribute.

This strategic alteration significantly eased the strain on the demon beasts' meridians.

"If it were Eleventh Uncle, he would likely have finished this research in a year or two!" Ye Qingyan lamented slightly as he stored the spirit pills and recorded the details on a jade talisman. Despite his own achievement, a sense of self-disappointment lingered.

After a moment of quiet reflection, his gaze fell upon the three Fire-Devouring Sparrows, their low, whimpering sounds akin to hoarse crow calls.

"Don't worry, you won't be without your Spirit Cultivation Pills!" Ye Qingyan offered a faint smile, tossing a Spirit Cultivation Pill into the mouth of each bird.

"Once you've recovered, your own opportunities will present themselves!" Ye Qingyan couldn't help but chuckle.

However, observing that the three Fire-Devouring Sparrows lacked the vigor of the Red Flame Fox, he felt a flicker of boredom.

Putting away the three Fire-Devouring Sparrows, he retrieved his clan token.

His eyes immediately registered the 'withdraw' character inscribed on it!

A jolt of surprise ran through him. This token, combined with a message from Jing Yun informing him that Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jing Hu were still in seclusion while Jing Yun was temporarily managing family affairs, clearly indicated something significant had transpired. The instruction to withdraw left no room for doubt.

He quickly packed his belongings and exited the room. Upon reaching the courtyard, a Sound Transmission Talisman zipped towards him.

A slight furrow appeared on his brow, but after brief consideration, he proceeded to the second floor.

Inside a room on the second floor, a man clad in golden robes greeted him with a smile.

"Daoist Ye is truly a man of elusive presence, no less difficult to meet than the Qianchen Ascendant!"

"Daoist Jin, your words are misplaced. For alchemy masters, two elements are paramount: innate talent and diligent effort."

"Our Ye Family may not possess the same alchemy prowess as the Jin Family, but we rely on diligence to make our way!" Ye Qingyan replied, his tone humble yet resolute.

The man before him was Jin Yuanshan, a member of the Jin Family's younger generation and currently at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment. His cultivation was half a level higher than Ye Qingyan's.

"I have heard that the Ye Family originates from the Beast Desolate Wasteland; indeed, your younger generation displays considerable talent!"

"Daoist Jin, are these words spoken on behalf of your Jin Family, or are they your own sentiments?" Ye Qingyan's brow furrowed once more.

The deepening frown seemed to imbue his words with an additional three degrees of coldness.

"Simply hearsay from outside," Jin Yuanshan responded with a smile.

"Daoist Ye, there is no need for concern. I have merely come to purchase a Jade Soul Pill!"

"There are no Jade Soul Pills available today. Please return in a few days, Daoist." Ye Qingyan declined directly.

"Is it truly unavailable, or merely claimed to be so? Jin is prepared to offer generous Spirit Stones." Jin Yuanshan pressed further.

Ye Qingyan simply spread his hands in response.

"It is genuinely unavailable!"

"What about Blood Burst Pills, then? I heard this pill originates from an ancient formula, perhaps even from the Beast Desolate Wasteland!"

"It is indeed available, and it is certainly an ancient pill formula. Whether it originates from the Beast Desolate Wasteland, I cannot guarantee, but its price is bound to increase!"

"The Blood Burst Pills are now priced at eight hundred Spirit Stones per pill!" Ye Qingyan announced.

At these words, Jin Yuanshan’s expression grew cold.

It was evident that he perceived Ye Qingyan was deliberately inflating the cost for him.

After all, typical Blood Burst Pills normally commanded a price of about five hundred Spirit Stones each.

"Could Daoist Jin truly be lacking in Spirit Stones?" Jin Yuanshan, refusing to yield, decided against purchasing the pills. However, Ye Qingyan was not about to let this opportunity slip away.

"Eight hundred it is. I shall now proceed to verify if this is indeed a spirit pill from the Beast Desolate Wasteland." Jin Yuanshan declared, suppressing his anger as he bought a pill.

After Jin Yuanshan departed, Ye Qingyan remained in contemplation.

He couldn't fathom why Jin Yuanshan had appeared at such a crucial moment.

Just as Ye Qingyan was preparing to resume his packing, he noticed Ye Jingteng approaching, accompanied by Ye Qingshuang.

"Qingyan, excellent news, truly wonderful news!" Ye Jingteng exclaimed with enthusiasm.

Ye Qingyan moved forward to greet them.

Ye Jingteng had recently attained the Purple Mansion realm and now wielded significant authority within Illusion Peak.

Thanks to Ye Jingteng’s advancement, the Ye Family's standing in Taichang Market had seen a considerable boost.

"Qingshuang has been appointed the sect’s chief disciple!" Ye Jingteng proclaimed, brimming with pride.

With the Ye Family now holding prominence in the Taiyi Sect, possessing substantial influence—one Purple Mansion cultivator and a chief disciple—their status was undeniable.

"Uncle, this is indeed magnificent news! Please take a seat. I will fetch some Black Mushroom Fish for Uncle and Shuang’Er to savor!" Ye Qingyan responded eagerly.

However, a flicker of bewilderment still lingered in his eyes at this moment.
