The night was cool as water, and the moonlight spread everywhere.

In the courtyard, a gentle breeze was blowing.

It seemed to announce that the Grain Rain would soon pass, and Lixia was about to arrive.

The flowers on the peach trees in the courtyard had almost all withered, leaving a ground full of fallen petals, some already buried in the soil due to previous rain, while others had just fallen, in hues of red and purple, quite charming.

This truly echoed the saying, "turning into spring soil to better protect the flowers."

On the two peach trees, some peach blossoms could be seen.

However, the Tier One Middle peach tree had over thirty peach blossoms, while the spirit peach tree of the Peach Wood Demon had merely five.

In comparison, the difference was striking, knowing that the Tier One Middle peach tree was undoubtedly suppressed and absorbed less spiritual energy than the Peach Wood Demon.

Had it not been for the soul contract between Ye Jingcheng and the Peach Wood Demon, Ye Jingcheng might have suspected the Peach Wood Demon of being lazy.

After all, he had infused it with considerable treasure light.

At the moment, Ye Jingcheng, who had returned from the Spirit Lake, sat at a stone table, with a pot of Spring Tea beside him, along with a large amount of spiritual cuisine prepared.

Among this spiritual cuisine were treats like an entire Cyan Cloud Wolf that the Jade Qilin Snake favored, the Lush Forest Boar Beast Meat adored by the Red Flame Fox, and the Red Section Fish loved by the Golden Scale Beast.

These were all exchanged at the Treasure Pavilion as he passed by.

After all, the Three Beasts had fought hard on their own, even slaying two Foundation Establishment cultivators and acquiring two storage bags, as well as the praises of several elders from the Ye Family.

This time, he intended to reward them well.

In addition to the spiritual cuisine, he had also exchanged half a pound of Yunfu Tea.

Of course, the Yunfu Tea was for cultivation, while he usually drank the Spring Tea.

For Ye Jingcheng, cultivation required both relaxation and focus, making spiritual cuisine and spirit tea excellent comforts.

Beside the table were four spirit beasts. The Red Flame Fox, with its fiery red fur, was the strongest of them all, having been the first to break through to Tier Two.

At this moment, it snuggled closest to Ye Jingcheng, showing a significant dependence on him, its two tails swaying back and forth, occasionally letting out a chirping sound, as if inquiring if Ye Jingcheng needed fire.

Next was the Jade Qilin Snake, looking rather gluttonous and watching Ye Jingcheng prepare the spiritual cuisine, its tongue flickering, wanting to tell Ye Jingcheng.

There's really no need to trouble yourself with cooking.

Its appetite could swallow two or three pieces whole!

The Golden Scale Beast appeared raring to go, though not fond of the spiritual cuisine, it eagerly anticipated the elixirs Ye Jingcheng might give.

The more, the better, to surpass that evil snake and the red fox.

Even the Three-Colored Cloud Deer let out yelps.

Being a Tier Two Pill Master, Ye Jingcheng's spiritual cuisine was made with perfect pairing, not reaching absolute perfection, but achieving at least seventy percent effectiveness.

Quickly, an enticing fragrance filled the air, and Ye Jingcheng also took out a Tier Two Fire Heart Pill, a Tier Two Purple Wood Pill, a Tier Two Green Water Pill, and a Tier Two Body Tempering Pill.

As for earth attribute Tier Two Spirit Pills, Ye Jingcheng had not yet mastered their refining, but fortunately, during the issuance of the Ban Li Order at the Taihang Market, he had acquired a Pill Formula for the Body Tempering Pill.

To the Golden Scale Beast, enhancing the body was equally a boost in strength.

Incidentally, Ye Jingcheng had some fragmentary formulas for the Tier Two Blood Burst Pill, yet to be fully understood, which he had handed over to Ye Xuefu of the Sand Cloud Hideout.

Once researched, Ye Jingcheng intended to reap the benefits.

After settling the spirit beasts, Ye Jingcheng infused each with treasure light, increasing their absorption of spiritual power.

This hastened the cultivation of both the spirit beasts and Ye Jingcheng himself.

Turning away, he sipped his spirit tea.

Only to see the spirit shadow of the Peach Wood Demon beside him, eagerly watching.

It too craved treasure light.

After a sweep over the five newly budding peaches on the tree, Ye Jingcheng poured spirit water over the Peach Wood Demon's main peach wood, also infusing some treasure light and burying a middle-grade wood attribute spirit stone.

Returning to the table, he drank the remaining tea in one gulp, feeling a surge of joy fill him.

Enjoying the moonlight, admiring the peaches, teasing beasts, and playing with mice, all seemed quite amusing.

Snapping his fingers, Ye Jingcheng summoned the Jade Ring Rat back from the spirit field, to make the night more lively.

As the beasts reveled, Ye Jingcheng once again took out the two storage bags.

In the presence of the elders, he hadn't felt appropriate to check the contents of the storage bags.

Now, in his own courtyard, he could finally check them in peace.

The two storage bags were sizable and somewhat luxurious, suggesting that the Mo Family was faring better in the East Sea than in the Taihang Commandery.

Ye Jingcheng opened the first storage bag, finding its space about the size of a small wooden hut.

Inside were four large chests.

All treasures and spirit stones were stored in the chests.

Initially, Ye Jingcheng thought these chests ordinary, but upon closer inspection, they were entirely crafted from Evergreen Wood.

This kind of Evergreen Wood is a Tier One Middle Grade Spirit Wood, renowned for its abundant spiritual energy.

Items made from this spirit wood are intended for nourishment.

An extravagant choice compared to simple wooden shelves.

In the first chest were spirit pills and spirit talismans.

Ye Jingcheng recognized most of the spirit pills and talismans inside, yet many were unfamiliar.

Evidently, this reflected the disparity between different cultivation realms.

Among them, he found two bottles of Tier Two Spirit Pills, one being familiar Purple Wood Pills, while the other remained a mystery.

He uncorked the pill bottle, wafting the aroma toward himself, filled with wonder.

The elixir seemed to be crafted with demon beast inner cores.

The scene intrigued Ye Jingcheng; he previously surmised that the method of refining elixirs with demon beast inner cores came from the East Sea.

He had encountered such refining for Foundation Establishment Pills before.

Now, this observation confirmed his speculations.

If so, deeper exploration of this spirit pill could yield key insights into the alchemy methods concerning demon beast refining.

Sometimes, demon beast products were more abundant than spirit medicines.

Collecting the pill bottle, Ye Jingcheng considered consulting Ye Haiyun, though the latter's alchemy might not surpass his own, their experience could exceed his.

Moreover, he'd relish a visit to the East Sea to learn more about the alchemy methods and techniques.

Ye Jingcheng wasn't intensely interested in the spirit talismans, aside from two Tier Two Water Escape Talismans.

Evidently, other defense talismans might have been used.

The Water Escape Talisman, honestly, might be inferior to the Jade Qilin Snake's Fog Escape, and Ye Jingcheng's own Fog Escape had become incredibly fast.

The best option would be to sell them to the family!

Ye Jingcheng moved on to the second chest, filled with magical artifacts.

Most were Tier One Artifacts, with only two Tier Two Artifacts included.

Among them, one was a simple sky-blue Flying Sword Artifact.

This artifact was Tier Two Lower Grade, a water attribute magic sword, and Ye Jingcheng was already estimating its contribution points.

Upon lifting another mirror, he broke into a smile.

In the Cultivation Realm, weapons like swords and axes were common, often unremarkable, but special artifacts like this offered infinite wonders.

Mirror spiritual artifacts were famously difficult to refine.

Once he grasped the mirror, infusing spiritual light, it immediately lit up, casting reflections around the courtyard.

Immediately, numerous spirit shadows appeared.

"Turns out it's a tracing-type treasure!" Ye Jingcheng was somewhat surprised.

Such a treasure was ideal for tracking cultivators.

He promptly began testing it.

After half a moment, he discerned the mirror's function—to reveal the spirit shadows of the air three hours prior.

For Ye Jingcheng, this mirror was a treasure; though limited to three hours, it could prove exceptionally useful at times.

"I'll call you the Memory Mirror!" Ye Jingcheng carelessly named it.

Additionally, he realized that attack and defense artifacts could only be found through the family's contribution token records.

In the remaining two chests were some Tier One and Tier Two spirit medicines, while the last chest contained jade talismans, mainly travel notes.

His brief glance revealed them less engaging than the previously found bedroom skill manuals.

Uninterested, he stowed them away for future reference if necessary when visiting the East Sea.

Of course, near the jade talismans and books, Ye Jingcheng discovered a considerable amount of spirit stones, including forty middle-grade stones, and eight hundred lower-grade ones.

Ye Jingcheng smiled contentedly and continued examining the second storage bag.
