On the night of the massacre, I dug up the ancestral tomb.

Chapter 201: Ye Xiyu

"Hehe, very good! My trip here has not been in vain!" Yang Jiuli smiled and raised his teacup.

Use tea instead of alcohol.

Ye Chongli also toasted with tea instead of wine.

The two drank it all in one gulp.

"Master Yang...please!" Ye Chongli stood up, intending to take Yang Jiuli with him and set off immediately.

"Don't rush..." Yang Jiuli said calmly, "I didn't come here to be too high-profile..."

"I don't want to be too high-profile..." Ye Chongli's gaze sharpened. He pondered for a long time and then looked at the tiger-sable lying there.

"Could it be that Master Yang doesn't want to reveal his trump card?" he wondered to himself.

The tiger's roar just now was terrifying.

Many cultivators will know that it is a second-tier demon beast.

If Ye Chongli were to invite Yang Jiuli into the clan at this time, it would certainly arouse speculation.

"Hehe, Master Yang, don't worry. My Crimson Cloud Boat has a second-tier 'Crimson Cloud and Smoke Array' that can conceal your aura. Unless you are a Foundation Establishment cultivator, you will not be able to detect your presence at all... When you enter my 'Lingxiu Peak' for seven days, I will announce your arrival..." Ye Chongli's mind raced, and he quickly came up with a solution. He then said to Yang Jiuli.

"That's fine too!" Yang Jiuli nodded, flicked his hand, and the teacup flew into his storage bag before he stood up.

Although going at this time will inevitably evoke some speculation.

However, the mix of truth and deception is what makes it most worrisome.

He entered the Ye Clan's Lingxiu Peak not wanting anyone to cause trouble; having a second-tier demon beast to guard the area would save him a lot of trouble.

"Please!" He bowed to Ye Chongli.

"Please!" Ye Chongli smiled and summoned his "Crimson Cloud Boat".

Yang Jiuli leaped into the middle.

The tiger-sable then moved, transforming into a rainbow of light and flying into the spirit beast pouch at his waist.

Nearby, array flags flickered, and the 'Small Cloud Mist Array Flag' disappeared into Yang Jiuli's palm.

Ye Chongli made a hand gesture, and clouds and mist spread over the flying boat, forming a light shield that enveloped it.

Outsiders could only see a reddish cloud, and could not see anything inside it at all.

call!

Immediately, the flying boat glided through the void and headed towards the Ye family's "Lingxiu Peak".

"The spirit pet has already reached the second tier... and its own cultivation level is already at the ninth level of Qi Refining... With Master Yang's foundation, it should have a chance to establish its foundation." On the flying boat, Ye Chongli secretly looked at Yang Jiuli beside him, a hint of awe in his eyes.

The resources required to train a spirit pet to advance to the second tier are no less than those required for a Qi Refining cultivator to establish their foundation.

Therefore, Ye Chongli judged that Yang Jiuli should also have foundational resources.

Otherwise, why would he waste resources on spirit pets?

"only……"

As he pondered, Ye Chongli still felt a vague sense of unease.

Once Yang Jiuli establishes his foundation, along with his spirit pet...

Such a foundation is enough to establish a clan in the Southern Mountains!

"I imagine Elder Ye also has his doubts. Why did I choose to come to the Ye family?" Yang Jiuli said.

He naturally took in the awe and worry on Ye Chongli's face, which is why he spoke in this way.

"Hehe, given Master Yang's current status and position, your presence at my Ye family is truly an honor that makes this old man feel flattered."

Ye Chongli smiled.

Second-tier alchemists are highly sought after by various powerful families.

Even third-tier immortal sects are willing to take him under their wing.

At this point, Yang Jiuli had nowhere to go.

"In the past few months, quite a few forces have indeed extended olive branches to me... Even my good friend from the third-tier immortal sect invited me to Ice River Valley..." Yang Jiuli said.

Ye Chongli's eyes flickered as he cautiously looked at Yang Jiuli. He also had many doubts about this matter.

He just didn't feel comfortable asking.

I was afraid of upsetting others and causing discord.

Now that Yang Jiuli has taken the initiative to explain, he naturally wants to hear it clearly and dispel his doubts.

Although he was certain that Yang Jiuli wouldn't covet his family's assets, he still felt somewhat uneasy.

I'm afraid that a momentary gamble could lead to total ruin.

"While third-tier immortal sects and great immortal cultivation families are certainly good, they are also prone to causing trouble," Yang Jiuli said.

"At this moment, I only want to find a quiet place to consolidate my cultivation and plan to establish my foundation. I do not want to be disturbed by trivial matters. Of course, since I have come to your 'Lingxiu Peak', I will naturally find some time to refine some pills for you, so as not to fail Elder Ye's kindness."

"Master Yang, rest assured, no one will disturb your cultivation at my 'Lingxiu Peak'!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chongli felt relieved and quickly cupped his hands in greeting.

At this moment, his doubts were completely dispelled, and Yang Jiuli's words were clearly from the bottom of his heart.

After all, given his status, it was impossible for him to give up Foundation Establishment.

As for what Yang Jiuli said, powerful forces often cause trouble.

Ye Chongli was also aware of this.

He had investigated Yang Jiuli's background.

I know that the latter was suppressed once in Yunmeng Lake.

In Blackwind City, they were also framed by the Sun family, a powerful clan under the rule of Ice River Valley.

"These two things must be what made him unwilling to stay in a powerful force, which actually benefits my Ye family."

Ye Chongli thought to himself.

"But I wonder if he has agreed to my proposal?" Ye Chongli glanced at Yang Jiuli with a hint of anticipation.

If the latter had agreed to that proposal, even if he passed away, the Ye family could have prospered for at least another hundred years.

After much deliberation, he hesitated to ask again, fearing he might cross Yang Jiuli's line and offend him.

It ruined the cooperation between the two parties.

Thus, without realizing it, Ye Chongli had already led Yang Jiuli into 'Lingxiu Peak'.

The two landed in a secluded courtyard halfway up the mountain.

"Master Yang, please rest here for the next few days!" Ye Chongli said with a smile.

Yang Jiuli looked at this secluded courtyard.

This place is located on the edge of a mountain abyss.

Pushing open the courtyard gate, one is greeted by a misty atmosphere.

In the secluded courtyard, there is a babbling brook, small pavilions and terraces, making it quite elegant.

"In that case, I'll be troubling Elder Ye!" Yang Jiuli said, cupping his hands in greeting.

"I wouldn't dare!" Ye Chongli said. "I live in the back mountain. If Master Yang needs anything, please feel free to ask."

Yang Jiuli nodded slightly.

Ye Chongli then led him into the courtyard, gave a brief introduction, and asked if he wanted to arrange for maids.

Yang Jiuli said there was no need for that.

As for the food these past few days...

He has the flesh of a demon python, which he boils in a pot.

Adding some special seasonings not only makes it delicious, but also increases blood circulation.

However, there is no need to consume ordinary spirit rice or the like.

Seeing that Yang Jiuli refused, Ye Chongli did not force the maid to come, and then took his leave.

Yang Jiuli entered the courtyard and began cultivating.

He collected a wisp of the essence of the green wood and used the Three Lives Stone to determine the density of the spiritual energy in the area.

"Azure Wood Spiritual Energy... 2.6..." A short while later, a row of precise data appeared next to the Three Lives Stone in the sea of ​​consciousness.

"The spiritual energy value has reached 2.6, so it seems there is a mid-grade second-tier spiritual vein here." Yang Jiuli was quite satisfied with this.

"It's time to attempt to reach the tenth level of Qi Refining!"

He immediately began his cultivation.

However, in order to avoid attracting attention, Yang Jiuli controlled the speed at which he drew in the spiritual energy of the green wood.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, he was still a low-grade spiritual root.

If the speed at which spiritual energy is drawn in is too fast, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

……

In the blink of an eye.

Six days have passed.

early morning.

"Tenth level of Qi Refining!" Yang Jiuli exhaled softly.

After five days of arduous training, he finally broke through the bottleneck and entered the tenth level of Qi Refining.

His mind sank into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Name: Yang Jiuli.

Lifespan: 49/158.

……

Seeing the increase in his lifespan, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Perhaps to others, choosing to establish one's foundation at age 60 means that one's blood and energy have already declined, and even with foundation-establishing pills, success would be difficult.

But at this time, he was close to 160 years old.

Relatively speaking, 60 years old is the prime of life, and the real decline of blood and energy begins from 70 years old.

"With the spiritual energy of this place... if I absorb all the energy, I can reach the tenth level of Qi Refining perfection in two years."

Yang Jiuli whispered.

However, if he wanted to fully absorb the Qi, he had to stay on a mountaintop alone and set up a second-tier formation to conceal his Qi.

As Yang Jiuli whispered, Ye Chongli's voice came from outside the courtyard.

Yang Jiuli pushed open the door and went out.

"Master Yang, have you been settling in well these past few days?" Ye Chongli asked with a cupped hand and a smile.

As he spoke, he also looked at Yang Jiuli.

"Tenth level of Qi Refining." He sensed it slightly and found that Yang Jiuli's aura had become much stronger, clearly reaching the tenth level of Qi Refining.

Ye Chongli's smile grew even brighter. He was increasingly convinced that the young man before him had come here solely to focus on building his foundation.

"This is..." Suddenly, Yang Jiuli's heart skipped a beat as he sensed a strange power probing him.

Instantly, the Three Lives Stone within his body rippled, actively obscuring the secrets of heaven and concealing the aura of his spiritual root.

At the same time, he glanced at Ye Chongli's side.

But standing right next to him was a girl who looked to be 18 years old.

The girl wore a floral dress, was tall and shapely with a graceful figure. Her delicate face was flawless, her skin was as white as snow, and her eyes were bright and lively, as if rippling with water, with a hint of melancholy between her brows.

It seems that there is a story hidden in his heart that no one else knows.

It evokes feelings of pity and tenderness.

She stood beside Ye Chongli, but was also secretly observing Yang Jiuli.

Yang Jiuli met the girl's gaze.

At this moment, the Three Lives Stone in Yang Jiuli's sea of ​​consciousness rippled slightly.

The energy of three lifetimes was injected into Yang Jiuli's eyes.

It made his eyes bright, as if he could see through illusions.

"This is..." He looked at the girl in front of him, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

With the help of the "Three Lives Eyes," he was shocked to discover that there were marks in the misty eyes of the girl in front of him.

That mark, like a rune.

It also resembles the mark of the Tao.

One of them exudes a yin aura and is black.

One exudes pure yang energy and is white.

But to outsiders, it's completely undetectable.

At this moment, when the woman saw Yang Jiuli looking over, she secretly lowered her head and withdrew her gaze without revealing her expression.

The fleeting black and white Dao patterns in her eyes then faded away.

Seeing the girl's shyness, Yang Jiuli withdrew his gaze.

"There's potential..." Seeing Yang Jiuli glance at the woman beside him, Ye Chongli stroked his beard, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

It was said that Yang Jiuli had taken a fancy to the woman beside him.

However, he did not introduce the two.

Ye Chongli did not introduce the woman, and Yang Jiuli did not ask any further questions.

"The spiritual energy here is abundant, making it suitable for cultivation. It's quite a good place," Yang Jiuli replied.

He then invited Ye Chongli inside.

Ye Chongli and the girl entered the courtyard together.

In the lobby.

Yang Jiuli and Ye Chongli sat side by side.

The young woman then brewed tea for Yang Jiuli before leaving.

The girl left, and Yang Jiuli glanced at her, a slight smile playing on his lips.

It seems he is quite interested in this woman as well.
