The Two Fiends of the Frenzied Corpse
Under the direct golden sunlight, the abandoned little temple appeared even more withered and yellow.
Cracked tree branches, collapsed walls, and spider webs crawling all over the corners.
On the broken stone statue, a spider the size of a thumb has bitten a huge mosquito, and the vibrating spiderweb trembles.
After a long while, two cultivators dressed in Black Spirit-Isolating Robes entered one after the other. They looked around and then showed some disdain.
"Even the legendary Mad Corpse Twin Fiends are nothing special."
As soon as these words were spoken, the air fell into complete silence. After a long while, a ripple-shaped transparent spiritual barrier in the corner trembled, and a green-armored corpse stepped out.
This green-armored corpse was covered in green fur, had a pair of enormous fangs, and emitted an eerie green aura.
"Did you bring the goods?" The green-armored corpse's strange jaws emitted an unpleasant, dry sound, like the sound of a door being squeezed out.
"Of course I brought the item, but your second-tier low-grade corpse refinement alone is not enough to justify your price!"
"Then you can stay here, otherwise we brothers will think you're here to spy on us and tip us off!" Outside, a black-armored corpse appeared.
This black-armored corpse was not human-shaped, but rather a giant spider-like creature with gaping fangs, capable of speaking.
It's incredibly strange.
"Arrogant!" the black-robed man standing in front exclaimed.
The two refining corpses suddenly unleashed a terrifying aura, creating a sensation as if the sun and moon had lost their light.
"Only the arrogant would accept our job. To wipe out the Ye Family of Soaring Cloud Peak, you only need to leave behind their beast-refining inheritance and their beast-breeding treasures; the rest is yours to take!"
After saying that, he simply flipped his hand and took out a jade box.
Inside the jade box, a crimson blood fungus was clearly visible.
He held up the jade box, revealing a corner of it. Instantly, a dazzling surge of Blood Qi erupted, causing the two refining corpses to go mad.
The man in black robes resealed the jade box, then looked at the black-robed cultivator beside him, who then flipped his hand and produced two jade talismans.
The patterns on these two jade talismans are intricate and filled with a violent aura.
"I wonder if these two second-tier high-grade formation -Formation-Breaking Talisman and second-tier high-grade thousand-year-old blood spirit mushrooms will suit your tastes?"
Neither of the two reanimated corpses responded.
No reply is the best answer.
"Ten days from now, it will be the rotation of guards at Jade Dragon Valley. The Foundation Establishment cultivators of Soaring Cloud Peak must go to Jade Dragon Valley. There will also be a Beast Tide riot in Jade Dragon Valley, so Soaring Cloud Peak will only have three or four second-tier Spirit Beasts left, and Ye Haicheng who is in seclusion!"
After speaking, the man in black robes fell silent, gazing quietly ahead.
The spider on the web had already devoured the giant mosquito and was quietly crawling towards a corner, stepping on the web.
The dilapidated temple remained silent for a long time.
"I want you to swear an oath!" After a long silence, the black-armored corpse finally spoke.
It entered the dilapidated temple, passed the two people, and came to the side of the green-armored corpse.
"With the combined fortunes of the Li Family and Chen Families, let us swear an oath against our Heart Demons..."
"We are not..."
"Whether you are or not!" the black-armored corpse interrupted.
"Very well! We Heavenly Dao Oath on behalf of the Chen Family and Li Family families that the Taiyi Sect will not intervene this time, that we will not target the Mad Corpse Twin Fiends, and that we will not utter any falsehoods!"
Heavenly Dao Oath fell, two blood-robed cultivators finally appeared from the transparent Array in the corner.
Neither figure had a face visible; only their outlines suggested they were not a reanimated corpse.
And its voice was much better; it was no longer as unpleasant and grating as those two corpses.
The two monks also took an oath at the same time.
Their oaths were also much simpler.
They would swear an oath to take someone's money and do their bidding. Of course, if the Ye Family possessed Purple Mansion, they would flee immediately and not return the treasure!
The two men in black robes nodded.
He then left the temple, leaving behind only two jade boxes.
At Soaring Cloud Peak, after the heavy rain, the long-awaited scorching sun shone again, and the Poison Thorn Fruits in the spirit field had all turned slightly red.
In about two weeks, the first batch of Poison Thorn Fruits will ripen.
The Jade Ring Rat, standing nearby, also appeared very excited. Its large ears, like fan blades, seemed to be fanning the Spiritual Qi in the spirit field for the Poison Thorn Fruit to absorb.
Does it still remember that Ye Jingcheng promised it a share if the Poison Thorn Fruit was successfully planted?
Ye Jingcheng was overjoyed at this.
Although the Poison Thorn Fruit is not worth many Spirit Stones, for cultivators, cultivation is something that is accumulated day by day.
The same applies to Spirit Stones.
Therefore, Ye Jingcheng would come every day to cast a spell to summon clouds and rain, and also cast Treasure Radiance, making these Poison Thorn Fruits grow stronger day by day.
These spiritual fruits were also quite impressive, heavy and filling people with joy.
Moreover, according to his seventh uncle, this Poison Thorn Fruit can also be used to make spiritual wine.
He just didn't have the recipe for the wine; otherwise, the price of the spiritual fruit could have doubled again.
While cultivating spiritual fruits, Ye Jingcheng also studied Pill Formulas and practiced Secret Method.
The Pill Formulas were the second-tier Pill Formulas he memorized on Sand Cloud Mountain. There were three of them: Fire Heart Pill, Lingmu Pill, and Bluewater Pill.
These three Pill Formulas are all second-tier low-grade Pill Formulas, which are perfect for his research. The only pity is that the spirit medicine for the Pill Formulas are not easy to collect.
The only pill he can refine right now is the Fire Heart Pill.
Even with the Fire Heart Pill, he only refined one batch after returning from Sand Cloud Mountain; the rest were used to refine Spirit Nurturing Pills.
Fortunately, he hasn't collected all four Spirit Beasts yet, so there's no need to rush the Crimson Flame Fox's cultivation progress.
The secret Principle for practice is Falling Flame Fire Feathers.
Now that he knows about the crisis ahead, he practices even more diligently, and the effects of the Secret Method are becoming better and better.
Even so, he still felt that there wasn't enough time.
These days, his schedule is packed every day.
From 5 AM to 7 AM, he needs to go to the cliff face to practice his Secret Method.
From 9 am to 11 am, he would study the Pill Formula; from 11 am to 11 pm, he would cultivate Spirit Beast Spirit Plants, train the Five Poison Bees, and refine elixirs.
After midnight, it's time for cultivation.
This was before Ye Haiyun assigned him any defensive duties.
Nine more days passed.
The Soaring Cloud Peak formation, which had been sealed for a long time, finally saw the clouds and mist surge, opening up a path to the heavens.
A Spirit Boat emerged from the clouds.
They walked towards the distance.
This Spirit Boat was the second-tier Spirit Boat piloted by Ye Xingliu.
There were also quite a few cultivators from the Ye Family on the Spirit Boat.
And at that very moment, even more began to surge within the clouds and mist.
Ye Jingcheng noticed that a second-tier Blood Hawk had appeared in the sky and was circling continuously.
In addition, he sensed that many Big-headed Ants and Blackwood Ants were crawling from Soaring Cloud Peak to various places.
Soaring Cloud Peak has fully entered a period of combat readiness.
Because he only demonstrated that he was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, Ye Jingcheng still did not receive a mission.
And on the second day of the war preparation period.
Ye Xingliu's Spirit Boat returned to Soaring Cloud Peak, making a comeback. After confirming there were no problems, it headed back to Jade Dragon Valley.
Ye Jingcheng calmly watched all of this, and also looked towards the summit of Soaring Cloud Peak.
That was where Ye Haicheng secluded himself for meditation.
