The Hardworking Jade-Ring Mouse
After Ye Jingyu left, many stars appeared in the sky.
Perhaps because it hasn't rained in recent days, the stars in the sky are exceptionally bright.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, casting its silvery light across the sky.
Ye Jingcheng finished setting up the Array he had prepared in his Storage Bag. This Array was called the Three Talents Spirit-Trapping Formation. It had three array bases and was a semi-trapping, semi-illusion Array, but it was only a low-grade first-order array.
For Ye Jingcheng, this Array only served as a warning and to isolate some wild beasts.
This is, after all, the Soaring Cloud Peak of the Lineage. Even if some cultivators within the Lineage have wicked intentions, they wouldn't dare to be so blatant.
After setting up the Array, Ye Jingcheng returned to the courtyard. When he came out again, the Jade Ring Rat was already behind him.
In Ye Jingcheng's opinion, it would be better to have the Jade Spirit Stone Jade Ring Rat do the soil work instead of having the other cultivators turn it over.
This rat is quite clever now, not much less so than other Spirit Beast.
Moreover, it can detect any movement immediately, and if there are other Spirit Insect causing damage to the soil, it can also dig them out.
"Jade Ring, starting today, you will turn over this spirit field once a day, and you will get half a spirit-feeding Spirit Feeding Pill more often. Your intake of Spirit Beast meat will also improve. In the future, when there is spirit honey, you will be able to drink some!" Ye Jingcheng pointed to the spirit field and spoke to Jade Ring Rat. Then, fearing that Jade Ring Rat might not understand, he took out his Blood Void Claw and scratched the soil of the spirit field.
The spiritual fields, fertilized with the Spirit Loam Liquid, are now firmer than ordinary soil.
However, Ye Jingcheng thought this level was alright, since the Jade Ring Rat was at least a mid-stage first-tier Spirit Beast.
After hearing Ye Jingcheng's command, the Jade Ring Rat did not resist, squeaked a few times, and went inside.
Upon entering, it found that the Spiritual Qi energy here was quite good, and most importantly, it didn't have to see the Golden-Scaled Beast, which even brought it a bit of joy.
It then began to scratch with its claws. The scratching was not fast, but very rhythmic, as if it were its natural talent.
In no time, they had dug out about half of it.
Ye Jingcheng nodded in satisfaction and immediately gave the Jade Ring Rat an Azure Spirit Pill. This was the first time the Jade Ring Rat had ever eaten Azure Spirit Pill, and its bright eyes shone with excitement.
Although it had never eaten it before, the thought of wanting it automatically arose in its mind.
Moreover, the Azure Spirit Pill Spiritual Qi has more spiritual energy, making it more attractive to Spirit Beast.
"You'll stay here from now on!" Ye Jingcheng explained some precautions to the Jade Ring Rat. The areas with array bases would serve as field ridges and would not need to be disturbed.
Ye Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief after the Jade Ring Rat nodded its head, which had a pair of Jade Ring ears.
My heart is filled with joy!
That's the right thing to do. Instead of spending Spirit Stone to invite other clansmen, we should feed them to the Jade Ring Rat!
After making arrangements at Lingtian, Ye Jingcheng returned to his own courtyard to continue practicing the Four-Aspect Heavenly Origin Scripture.
If you look closely at his meridians, you can see that his fire and earth elements are now extremely robust and seem to be approaching a critical point.
Ye Jingcheng was naturally very familiar with that critical point; once he broke through it, he would reach the eighth level of Qi Refining.
Therefore, Ye Jingcheng has been cultivating very diligently lately, and has been spending less time refining pills.
In his view, if he could reach the eighth level of Qi Refining Beast Communion Jade-Scale Snake, he might be able to use the Jade-Scale Snake's more refined spiritual power after advancing to the ninth level of Qi Refining!
After thinking this through, Ye Jingcheng began to crave the Foundation Establishment.
For the cultivators of the Ye Family, the three stages of Foundation Establishment— the Spiritual Qi stage and the physical body stage—are not a problem; the only challenge is the illusion stage.
The Foundation Establishment and condensing the spiritual platform, producing liquid Spiritual Qi, is accompanied by the birth of Heart Demon.
This Heart Demon often traps cultivators, making them feel as if they are in a dream, unable to extricate themselves.
If one cannot overcome their Heart Demon at the crucial moment, thus delaying the formation of the Foundation Establishment Platform, it will lead to the collapse of the spiritual foundation. At best, it will cause bloodline backlash and a decline in cultivation; at worst, it will endanger one's life.
Besides refreshing the mind and preventing inner Heart Demon, this Foundation Establishment can also prevent the backlash from the collapse of the spiritual foundation.
This is why Foundation Establishment Pills remain highly valuable; after all, having Foundation Establishment means having the opportunity to Foundation Establishment a second time.
Without Foundation Establishment, one either achieves Foundation Establishment or dies or is severely injured, with no possibility of achieving Foundation Establishment a second time.
Even though Ye Jingcheng was fully prepared, he still did not plan to break through before he had the Foundation Establishment.
After all, he possessed the Beast Taming Treasure Book and several Spirit Beasts with immense potential.
Unless we truly reach the critical point of sixty, we will have no choice but to fight to the death.
Otherwise, it's best to play it safe.
Ye Jingcheng quickly immersed himself in cultivation. When he sensed a more concentrated Fire Attribute spiritual energy in the air and absorbed it into his body, his Spiritual Qi energy visibly increased by a fraction.
Ye Jingcheng opened his eyes and saw that the bright moon on the horizon outside the window had been replaced by the rising sun.
As the Spiritual Qi dissipated, Ye Jingcheng stood up and, as usual, first looked at the Jade-Scale Snake.
The Jade-Scale Snake's current condition is quite similar to his.
Its entire body shimmered with a jade-like spiritual light, and it became increasingly lazy, yet its appetite grew ever larger.
This is clearly a trend that is about to break through.
Ye Jingcheng fed the Spirit Beast meat again, but this time it wasn't Dense Forest Pig meat, but Azure Cloud Wolf meat that Ye Jingcheng had obtained from his Lineage.
Wolf meat is tougher and has a strange smell, so neither the Crimson Flame Fox nor the Golden-Scaled Beast likes to eat it anymore.
But the Jade-Scale Snake was still very satisfied. Every time it finished eating, it would flick its tongue and shake its head at Ye Jingcheng.
There was also a feeling that the food was delicious and that they weren't full.
Let Ye Jingcheng give him a few Spirit Feeding Pill
Then he continued to lie prone.
Ye Jingcheng left the courtyard and arrived at the spirit field. He saw that the spirit field had been turned over, and the soil was even rich in some special spiritual energy.
The Jade Ring Rat lay to one side, its belly covered with some ordinary large-leaf grass. Because it had taken the Azure Spirit Pill, its whole body was still glowing with spiritual light, and its ears appeared even larger and more lively.
Ye Jingcheng didn't disturb the Jade Ring Rat, but instead headed towards his sixteenth uncle Ye Xinghan's courtyard.
Although the spirit fields cannot be planted yet, Ye Jingcheng believes that obtaining the seeds as soon as possible and assigning the ten Five Poison Bee to the mission will save them from having to rush to find them later.
For cultivators, it is quite normal to go into seclusion for ten days or even several months.
Upon arriving at Ye Xinghan's cave abode, Ye Jingcheng saw two spirit fields, but they were shrouded in mist, preventing Ye Jingcheng from seeing them clearly.
This fog not only blocks vision, but also Divine Sense.
Ye Jingcheng took out a sound transmission talisman, recorded the message, and then cast a spell towards the house!
A short while later, the Array in the courtyard opened, revealing a path, and the courtyard gate opened at the same time, revealing Ye Xinghan's indifferent figure.
"Sixteenth Uncle, I'm here on short notice. I hope I haven't disturbed your cultivation!" Ye Jingcheng bowed and said, taking out a wooden basket from his hand.
Inside the basket were six spirit apricots.
