Clan Cultivation: The Ye Clan

Ye Zhenzhen checked the contents of the storage bag with a resentful expression, occasionally making complaints.

"This must belong to a rogue cultivator. He's so poor. Besides a few talismans and some tattered clothes, there's nothing else inside."

"This is good; it contains a lot of good stuff, including pills and talismans..."

"This alchemy furnace is quite impressive. Look at the exquisite carvings; it's clearly very valuable..."

"Huh, there's some array plate material here, what a find..."

"These are top-quality materials for refining weapons; Fifth Brother will definitely like them..."

"This knife looks pretty good..."

With the efforts of the four, they checked all the storage artifacts within two hours.

Ye Zhenzhen was exhausted and lay down on the storage bag, watching the three of them discuss how to arrange the items they had taken out, which ones were suitable for storage in the warehouse, and which ones should be put directly into the Affairs Hall for everyone to exchange.

Ye Zhenzhen thought for a moment, her mother still needed the Foundation Establishment Pill.

He quietly stood up, wanting to eavesdrop on how many mission points were needed for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Seeing Ye Zhenzhen's sneaky behavior, Ye Anbo flicked her on the forehead.

"Just say what you want to say, why are you making this fuss?"

Ye Zhenzhen clutched her aching head and asked, "I just want to ask, how many mission points are needed to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Ye Amber thought for a moment and said, "This needs to be discussed further. Why are you asking this?"

Ye Zhenzhen said with a grin, "Isn't it because my mother has also reached the 12th level of Qi Refining? We're just preparing in advance."

After listening, Ye Amber agreed that it was indeed true.

After everything was packed up, Ye Zhenzhen led the group away from the Life Pearl.

Ye Zhenzhen looked up at the sky; it was already noon.

After Ye Zhenzhen calmed down to the 12th level of Qi Refining, she left Crocodile Bay directly.

She hadn't forgotten that she still had an important matter to attend to.

So much time has passed, I wonder if they're getting impatient.

Ye Zhenzhen summoned Qingluan, which stared at her with its tiny, beady eyes, looking at her with a mournful expression.

Ye Zhenzhen felt a little guilty, as she had kept the little guy locked up for almost two months.

He touched his nose and explained, "I really didn't mean to lock you up for so long."

"You have no idea how dangerous this period of time was..."

Ye Zhenzhen's throat was practically hoarse from explaining before she finally managed to appease Qingluan.

Ye Zhenzhen stroked Qingluan's feathers and pointed southeast towards Crocodile Bay, coaxing, "Qingluan, that's where I chose to live for your little friends, take me there!"

Qingluan rolled her eyes at Ye Zhenzhen, dissatisfied. "Can't you fly by yourself?"

Ye Zhenzhen explained, "Isn't it inconvenient for me to reveal my cultivation level outside?"

Qingluan proudly raised her head, "Now you can see, I am still very important."

Ye Zhenzhen nodded frantically, "You're right, you're right, I'm counting on you."

This shower of compliments almost made the Azure Phoenix float away.

It instantly grew a hundred times larger, with wingspans reaching hundreds of feet.

These gorgeous feathers are so beautiful!

Ye Zhenzhen leaped onto Qingluan's back.

Qingluan proudly declared, "You're the first person to stand on my back!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen quickly accepted the compliment, saying, "Then I am truly honored."

The Azure Phoenix was delighted and, with a flap of its wings, instantly teleported a hundred feet away.

After flying for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they arrived at the edge of the habitat of second-tier monsters in the Bamboo Creek Mountains.

Ye Zhenzhen pointed to the mountain peak not far away and patted Qingluan on the back, "Let's stop there."

Upon hearing Ye Zhenzhen's words, Qingluan flew towards that mountain.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Ye Zhenzhen landed on the mountaintop, and Qingluan also returned to its original size.

Ye Zhenzhen patted her storage bag and released all the demonic beasts she had brought out from the Xiyue Secret Realm.

The monsters breathed in fresh air again and immediately scattered.

They each found a comfortable spot and stretched out their bodies.

After Ye Zhenzhen and all the other demon beasts had finished their activities, she slowly said, "Beasts, I have done what I promised you. The mountains are high and the roads are long, but we will meet again."

Qingluan dutifully translated from the side, occasionally glancing impatiently at Bai Yezhen.

Couldn't you have put it simply? All this fancy language, do you think a bird like me could possibly understand it?!

Then came a cacophony of animal roars, and Ye Zhenzhen knew that the beasts were saying goodbye to her.

Smiling and waving goodbye, the beasts each chose a direction and left.

After the last demon beast left, Ye Zhenzhen turned to Qingluan and said, "It's just the two of us left. Let's go back."

The Azure Phoenix spread its small wings, feigning indifference, then instantly grew larger, carrying Ye Zhenzhen back to Crocodile Bay.

As soon as we entered Crocodile Bay, we saw Ye Zhenwen looking around.

Unaware of the reason, Ye Zhenzhen carefully walked behind Ye Zhenwen and patted him on the shoulder.

Ye Zhenwen immediately turned around and saw that it was Ye Zhenzhen.

She grabbed Ye Zhenzhen's arm and asked anxiously, "Where did you go? Why did you go out without saying a word?"

Ye Zhenzhen was completely bewildered. What was going on? I was only gone for two hours! What serious incident had occurred?

He swallowed nervously. "I went out to take care of a small matter. What's wrong?"

Ye Zhenwen glared at Ye Zhenzhen, "Couldn't you have told someone before you went out? It's really worrying."

He pulled Ye Zhenzhen up, jumped onto the flying sword, and said, "Your uncle needs to see you. He sounds quite anxious."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen immediately switched places with Ye Zhenwen, grabbed him, and flew quickly towards the council hall.

After a while, the two stood at the entrance of the council hall, and Ye Zhenzhen stepped inside.

Ye Zhenwen was still standing at the entrance of the council hall, looking shocked. Had his sister's cultivation level already reached such a level? It would take him the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to fly to the council hall, but his sister had only taken a quarter of that time.

It seems I need to work even harder," Ye Zhenwen secretly resolved.

After Ye Zhenzhen went inside, she saw that her grandfather Ye Shibai and her uncle Ye Anbo were sitting inside discussing matters.

She realized she had come in at the wrong time; in an instant, both of their eyes were on her, and Ye Zhenzhen's face flushed with embarrassment.

He stammered, "Uh...uh...did I come at the wrong time?"

Ye Shibai and Ye Anbo exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with smiles.

Ye Anbo's slightly upturned lips disappeared, and he said with a serious expression, "Didn't I tell you to stay put? Why did you go out without permission?"

Why did I come? That was Ye Zhenzhen's first thought upon hearing this.

She hurriedly explained, "It was just a little thing, I went out for a bit, I didn't cause any trouble, I really didn't cause any trouble." Ye Zhenzhen said solemnly.

Just as Ye Anbo was about to say something more, his communication jade tablet lit up.

Ye Zhenzhen was secretly delighted. No matter who sent the message, she was grateful for the rescue.
