An Invitation in the Bamboo Grove

Ye Jingcheng first infused the spirit egg with some Treasure Radiance, and the spirit egg immediately responded joyfully.

The spiritual light emanating from the jade also increased.

However, the Jade-Scale Snake's Divine Soul fluctuations became even greater.

It was even hungrier!

Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but smile. After confirming that the amount of input was the same as the amount of Treasure Radiance from the Golden-Scaled Beast, he placed the spirit egg into the Array.

In an instant, a small vortex formed, and the spiritual mist surged towards it.

The jade-like light inside was even brighter, like a full moon.

The fluctuations in Ye Jingcheng's Divine Soul had just subsided when the Jade-Scale Snake was clearly no longer paying attention to him.

Ye Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, finally settling the Jade-Scale Snake completely.

Judging from the Lineage's progress, this Jade-Scale Snake should be gestating in the egg for three years, but it had already been gestating for a year and a half in the Jade Dragon Pool.

Now that we have the Spirit Gathering Array and Spirit-Nurturing Liquid, it's estimated that they can hatch in a few months.

However, you might need a few more mid-grade Spirit Stone.

When he came out of the Treasure Pavilion this time, his contribution points were almost gone again, with only a little over two hundred left.

After setting up a magic array beside the Jade-Scale Snake, Ye Jingcheng also stepped out of the house. Across the courtyard, the setting sun was already casting its last rays.

It landed on the treetops, leaving long shadows.

Ye Jingcheng squinted, feeling exceptionally comfortable.

Although the Taihang Mountain Range contain much wealth and spiritual treasures, only the sunset at Soaring Cloud Peak is truly heartwarming.

The Golden-Scaled Beast was already resting; without Ye Jingcheng's Treasure Radiance aura, it couldn't maintain its Earth Spike Technique for long.

At this moment, the Golden-Scaled Beast's scales had become somewhat dull.

This was all for the Crimson Flame Fox; not a single drop was left.

Ye Jingcheng found it rather strange and looked at the Crimson Flame Fox, discovering that the fox did indeed have some injuries.

It's obvious that he's been hit by the Golden-Scaled Beast several times!

However, the Crimson Flame Fox still stands tall and proud.

It cried out, as if begging the Golden-Scaled Beast to come again!

It simply fled; it only needed to channel some spiritual energy into the Purple-Gold Wings, and since its cultivation was slightly higher than the Golden-Scaled Beast's, it seemed completely unharmed.

Ye Jingcheng summoned both beasts to his side, and this time he only needed to infuse them with some Treasure Radiance.

The Golden-Scaled Beast was severely depleted of its pure Spiritual Qi, while the Crimson Flame Fox needed to recover from its injuries.

After passing on the Treasure Radiance, Ye Jingcheng returned to his room and began to examine the Treasure Book.

The Treasure Book within his body has now opened three pages, the newest being the page about the Jade-Scale Snake, which depicts a Jade-Scale Snake with a tail fin.

Snakes don't have fins, but dragons do, which means that the next step for the Jade-Scale Snake to advance is through fins.

The Jade-Scale Snake's most powerful feature is its tail, and advancing its tail undoubtedly means an increase in combat power.

Just like the Crimson Flame Fox evolving into a double-tailed form, the Jade-Scale Tail Blade at that time will probably be something that ordinary cultivators cannot withstand.

Below in the ancient book, there is also a prescription for a Pill Formula.

The main ingredients of the Pill Formula made Ye Jingcheng frown. The three most important ingredients were Azure Snake Flower, Jade Beauty Fruit, and Water Cloud Grass.

These three items are all extremely rare Water Attribute spirit medicine, and all require a minimum age of one hundred years.

The value of a single spirit medicine is four or five Spirit Stones, and the total value is over a thousand Spirit Stone. The other auxiliary materials are also not very common.

This caused Ye Jingcheng considerable distress, as these were much harder to find than the Crimson Flame Fox and the Golden-Scaled Beast.

We'll probably have to go to a larger market town, like the Taicang market town controlled by the Taiyi Sect!

Ye Jingcheng quickly shook his head again. Although Taichang Market was prosperous, its danger level had also increased significantly. Not to mention the long distance, there were quite a few Purple Mansion cultivators in that market.

He is currently at the seventh level of Qi Refining, which is considered the combat strength of Crimson Flame Fox Golden-Scaled Beast. He is confident that he can fight even a ninth-level Qi Refining Beast.

But who says that only those at the seventh level of Qi Refining can encounter those at the ninth level of Qi Refining?

If someone encounters Foundation Establishment and develops a greedy desire for his Spirit Beast, there's really no way to stop them outside.

Ye Jingcheng shook his head, deciding not to think about it if he couldn't come up with a solution.

Anyway, the Jade Jade-Scale Snake is still a long way from advancing, so he still has time. He can go look for it when he reaches the ninth level of Qi Refining, or after the Crimson Flame Fox advances to the second-tier Demon Beast before setting off.

After thinking it over, Ye Jingcheng summoned the Crimson Flame Fox again, took out the Azure Elephant Furnace, and began refining pills.

Regardless, alchemy was his most fundamental skill.

Spirit Beast need spirit pills to advance, and their food Spirit Beast, and even their cultivation are mainly obtained by exchanging Spirit Stone.

Other things can be neglected, but cultivation and alchemy cannot be neglected.

Ye Jingcheng once again refined the Azure Spirit Pill. The Azure Spirit Pill is no longer very useful to the two beasts, but it is more profitable than the Lotus Yellow Pill and the Red Ganoderma Pill.

He can refine seven or eight Azure Spirit Pills in one batch. The profit of one pill is six or seven Spirit Stones, so he can make forty or fifty Spirit Stone in total.

He does not need the consumption of earth fire, nor the consumption of Pill Furnace.

The Crimson Flame Fox became increasingly adept at controlling the Spirit Flame, and this batch of refining went exceptionally smoothly.

Seven pills were successfully formed, each one plump and round, making them top-grade pills even in the market.

The next day, Ye Jingcheng woke up early. After completing a full cycle of cultivation, all his fatigue disappeared, and his body was full of Spiritual Qi.

Moreover, his cultivation level had also improved once again.

This level of progress is far better than before the advent of Beast-Link Mark.

These fulfilling days made Ye Jingcheng very satisfied.

He entered the Spirit Gathering Array, took out the Jade-Scale Snake, and continued to infuse it with Treasure Radiance. This time, he even placed the Jade-Scale Snake into the Spirit-Nurturing Liquid.

The spiritual light emanating from the spirit egg grew increasingly intense, and the fluctuations in the Divine Soul it emitted were extremely joyful.

And she interacted with him frequently.

This agility seems far more dynamic than that of the Crimson Flame Fox.

Following Ye Haiping's instructions, Ye Jingcheng placed the spirit egg in the Spirit-Nurturing Liquid for a period of time before taking it out, but not for three hours, but in less than two hours.

Jade-Scale Snake's spirit egg absorbed the Treasure Radiance, it naturally deserves different treatment.

After placing the spirit egg into the spirit-gathering array, Ye Jingcheng saw a Spirit Talisman land at his doorway.

Ye Jingcheng stepped out of the room, only to see Ye Jingli from afar.

"Jingcheng, Uncle Xingqun invited us to drink in his bamboo forest. He put the wine infused with Bamboo Leaf Green Spirit Snake!" Ye Jingli excitedly.

His lips curled up in a smile, as if something was brewing within him.

Ye Jingcheng was also quite tempted. Ye Xingqun had mentioned it in the mountains, and now he was hosting a banquet the very next day.

"Okay, I'm coming right now!" Ye Jingcheng nodded, and then placed the Golden-Scaled Beast at home.

His spirit egg cannot be moved at this moment; someone must stay behind to guard it!

After giving a few instructions to the Golden-Scaled Beast, leaving behind some Spirit Beast meat from the Dense Forest Pig and a Lotus Yellow Pill, Ye Jingcheng went out and followed Ye Jingli to a bamboo forest on Soaring Cloud Peak.

This bamboo grove is naturally incomparable to the bamboo groves in Taihang Marketplace, but it is just as serene.

To Ye Jingcheng's surprise, his elder brother Ye Jingteng also came.

"Big Brother!" Ye Jingcheng greeted him just like Ye Jingli!
