NOVEL NEXT Chapter 240: Extra Gains
The moonlight stone in the hall seemed to absorb the white glow, appearing even brighter at this moment.
The serene light fell on the teleportation array and the faces of several people, seemingly adding a bit of chill out of nowhere.
Ye Xuecang also furrowed his brow, evidently deep in thought.
Mo Hongyuan was indeed the Ye family's last hidden threat, though the Ye family didn't leave any evidence, not even two True Masters who came to probe the Ye family could find anything.
After all, the Beast Communication Tower and other spaces all entered the Profound Turtle's domain.
Even if they had exotic treasures, they couldn't find anything out of the ordinary.
However, the Mo family weren't fools either; a beast tide could destroy the Clan Mountain, retrieve the Spirit Egg, and even sabotage the teleportation array.
But to say they could teleport to the East Sea and precisely eradicate the Mo family cultivators on the other side was utterly unreasonable.
Moreover, Mo Hongyuan was suspicious from the start.
The Ye family even suspected that Mo Hongyuan's expectations inside were less than five years, maybe within four years he would come up with ideas.
"Second Uncle, Mo Hongyuan has already stationed himself in a shop at Taichang Market, and his position as patriarch has been handed over to a new early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Mo family, who was previously stationed at Taichang Market and has now switched places!" Ye Haiyu added from the side.
When purchasing materials for the teleportation array, they naturally had additional identities when operating outside.
They naturally also investigated Mo Hongyuan's situation.
Thus, the situation now was more dire, as Mo Hongyuan clearly knew something.
He was now wholly secluded in Taichang Market, and the Ye family truly had no way to deal with him.
Ye Jingcheng felt quite regretful hearing this. Mo Hongyuan had been outraged that day and showed up of his own accord but was stopped by the Tianzhen Ascendant.
Otherwise, Ye Haicheng would have killed him on the spot without any issues.
"Jingcheng, keep an eye on this matter. See if you can find a way to lure him out of Taichang Market. For everything else, the family will handle it!" Ye Xuecang said, looking at Ye Jingcheng.
Although it was quite difficult, Mo Hongyuan wasn't a fool. He wouldn't have become patriarch of a Purple Mansion Clan if he were.
He knew the Mo family might face problems, but as long as he's around, the Mo family won't completely collapse.
There is secret support from the Sect now.
The Mo family can afford to wait for the rise of the new generation of cultivators since they still have a foundation.
As a Purple Mansion Clan, despite their Clan Mountain being wiped out, they preserved Taihang Market, Taichang Market, and other clan mountains further from Cyan Willow Mountain.
Right now, it's the Ye family that's anxious.
"Second Granduncle, I'll do my best in this matter, and if possible, target the other clan mountains of the Mo family!" Ye Jingcheng offered.
He wasn't confident about luring Mo Hongyuan out and was worried the latter would leave secrets of the East Sea Transmission Array to others.
If he went to Taichang Market, Mo Hongyuan would become wary.
Instead, stirring trouble outside wouldn't easily be traced back to the Ye family.
Just like the incident with the Mo and Xu families, eliminating resources of the Chu family's Clan Mountain, the Chu family ancestor remained immovable!
In the world of Cultivation Clans, sometimes necessary forbearance is entirely worth it.
"I understand!" Ye Xuecang nodded.
"By the way, Second Uncle, in the East Sea, we've discovered several spiritual objects that the Mo family has been hiding!"
"The first is a Tier Three Purple Sun Fruit Tree, which can refine Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, and the second is a Middle-Grade Spirit Stone Vein. The Mo family has eight Foundation Establishment cultivators in the East Sea, more than those in Cyan Willow Mountain. Besides these, there's a nearly two-thousand-year-old Purple Ginseng, a spirit medicine for refining Purple Jade Pill, which can enhance a Purple Mansion Cultivator's cultivation. Fourth Uncle said you can use it when you go!" The Sea Generation's Ye Haiyan continued.
As he spoke, his eyes shined brightly. This time, attacking the Mo family was definitely worthwhile for the Ye family, even though it involved risks.
Not only for the East Sea's development opportunities, but just the Purple Sun Fruit Tree provided hope for many Foundation Establishments in the Ye family.
Qi Cultivation cultivators taking the Foundation Establishment Pill can increase the chances of establishing the foundation by thirty percent and ensure that cultivators don't perish.
For Foundation Establishment cultivators breaking through to the Purple Mansion, Purple Mansion Jade Liquid similarly offers a thirty percent increase in chances.
Though failing to break into the Purple Mansion isn't life-threatening, it's much harder without the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, which aids in opening the Purple Mansion Dao Vein and condensing the Purple Mansion.
Failing once means at least a twenty-year wait for another attempt.
Twenty years is no small matter for a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Apart from the Purple Sun Fruit, the Middle-Grade Spirit Stone Vein and Purple Ginseng are valuable. The former alleviates the Ye family's finances.
The latter can further advance Ye Xuecang's cultivation, and given some opportunity, reaching the Golden Core isn't impossible.
"Furthermore, there's quite an amount of Tier Two Upper-grade Sea Orchid Tea, and a large batch of Tier One Jade Wave Fruits for refining Jade Wave Wine. There's also a Tier Two Jade Wave Fruit Tree fit for brewing Tier Two Jade Wave Wine!" Ye Haiyan spoke about the resources related to this occasion.
Although not as significant as the earlier treasures, it's still a considerable gain for the Ye family.
Together with the resources gathered from Cyan Willow Mountain, the acquisition was substantial.
"Xue Fan is thoughtful!" Ye Xuecang nodded.
After finishing, Ye Haiyan took out a series of Spirit Beast Bags and looked at Ye Jingcheng:
"Jingcheng, indeed, you haven't let us old folks of the Jing Generation down at all!" Ye Haiyan assessed him, then laughed heartily, feeling quite pleased.
"Thank you for the praise, Sixth Great Uncle!" Ye Jingcheng recognized the family lineage and knew exactly who it was.
"These spirit beasts are for you. Return them to Xingliu, and the Contribution Points from the family are all recorded within this Jade Talisman!" Ye Haiyan handed over several Spirit Beast Bags to Ye Jingcheng in a single stroke.
Besides the Spirit Beast Bags, there was also a Jade Talisman, clearly noting the achievements.
Then, amidst Ye Jingcheng's curiosity, he retrieved two Storage Bags.
"Sixth Great Uncle, what's this?" Ye Jingcheng asked with some confusion.
"These are the storage bags of the Mo family Foundation Establishment cultivator your three spirit beasts killed; we didn't give you Qi Cultivation cultivators' storage bags because the family's expenditure was also significant this time!" Ye Haiyan jested.
This time, the Ye family initiated a beast tide and invested plenty of spirit medicine. Besides that, they purchased array-breaking talismans, lured the Three-eyed Demon King, and cleared several clans' forward sentinels.
All these actions required Contribution Points.
That too amounts to a substantial number.
At this moment, Ye Jingcheng was quite satisfied, for he thought getting a few thousand Contribution Points would be good enough.
Now, his three spirit beasts also earned him two Storage Bags.
Clearly, they had eliminated two Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Moreover, among the several Tier Two Spirit Beasts at the Ye Family's Lingyun Peak, neither the Lizard Lord, the Jade-eyed Hanging Eye Tiger, nor the Spotted Cloud Tiger had made any kills.
Ye Jingcheng received the Storage Bags and was eager to look into the Spirit Beast Bag's Soul Split.
He wanted to see what exactly happened in the East Sea.
