Taming the Hawk (Thanks to reportSM for the 1,500-coin tip)
Inside the courtyard, the sky transformed from a dusky red glow into a dazzling display of starlight.
The Wood Demon was still swaying in the courtyard, making the bare branches look rather unsightly.
Clearly, the Wood Demon still couldn't accept the fact that Ye Jingcheng had Soul Pact it.
It tried to escape from the yard, but each time it managed to get a little way out, Ye Jingcheng forced it back with Soul Pact.
At this moment, Ye Jingcheng was extremely patient, just like he was training an eagle, patiently waiting for the Wood Demon to die.
And at this moment, he finally discovered how the Wood Demon escaped the Array and how it broke the Blood Pact.
It has countless fine roots that can absorb the Spiritual Qi of the Array, or drain it instantly.
This can create loopholes in the Array.
The same applies to Blood Pact; once they are formed, they are drained away by them.
However, Ye Jingcheng's Soul Pact was different, which is why the Wood Demon seemed to have no will to live, trapped in an endless cycle of resting for a while, then escaping, then tearing its Divine Soul apart, then returning, and then resting again.
Even the starry sky seemed unable to withstand the onslaught, and the sky began to lighten. Ye Jingcheng also felt a sense of fatigue, and then he released the Golden-Scaled Beast, Jade-Scale Snake, Three-Color Cloud Deer, and Crimson Flame Fox one by one.
And tell them that the four animal enclosures belong to them.
The layout of these animal enclosures was designed specifically for these four beasts, as was the Spirit Gathering Formation.
For example, in the Jade-Scale Snake's enclosure, there is a small pool with several Water Spirit placed inside. Although the Jade-Scale Snake cannot swim freely in it, it can at least get some water.
The animal enclosures for the Crimson Flame Fox and the Golden-Scaled Beast, the Three-Color Cloud Deer, are also quite similar.
Each has its own advantages, and Ye Jingcheng is quite satisfied with this.
The Lineage treats Foundation Establishment cultivators quite well.
The Jade-Scale Snake and the Three-Color Cloud Deer were satisfied with their beast chambers, but the Crimson Flame Fox was not; it preferred to stay by Ye Jingcheng's side.
Even if it's just lying by the window or under the bed.
The Golden-Scaled Beast was even more different; it stared at the moving tree in the courtyard, its eyes filled with questions.
"Once it moves, you practice the Earth Spike Technique!" Ye Jingcheng said directly to the Golden-Scaled Beast.
The Golden-Scaled Beast is quite active and combative, so this is a good time to let it endure and torment the Wood Demon Golden-Scaled Beast.
With the Soul Pact in place, this Wood Demon can't escape even if it wanted to.
Ye Jingcheng could even decide the life or death of the Wood Demon in a single thought.
Ye Jingcheng entered the courtyard and began meditating and cultivating.
Continue cultivating the Heavenly Soul Art to prepare for soul division.
From time to time, the sound of something cutting through the air and the violent shaking of tree branches could be heard from inside the courtyard.
The night was both peaceful and restless.
Ye Jingcheng entered his room, and he couldn't dissuade the Crimson Flame Fox, so he let it follow him.
It might be convenient if he suddenly decides to refine pills.
After all, he had stayed in Cloud-Spreading Valley for so long, and his Storage Bag quite a few spirit medicine. He wouldn't have to worry about running out of spirit medicine to refine pills for the next six months.
The next day, as the morning sun shone once again on the earth, it awakened the entire Soaring Cloud Peak.
Ye Jingcheng also woke up from his cultivation. Looking at the Jade Slip containing a voice transmission, he changed into a clean Daoist robe and walked out of the house.
Ye Xinghan was already waiting at the entrance of the courtyard.
"Sixteenth Uncle!" Ye Jingcheng quickly invited Ye Xinghan into the courtyard.
The other party also spotted the Wood Demon at a glance.
"Jingcheng, I'm here to remind you. This Wood Demon is too cunning and could escape at any time. You absolutely must not tear off the sealing talisman, and you have to replace it with a new one every three days!" Ye Xinghan said worriedly.
He glanced at the Wood Demon again, then looked puzzled.
This Wood Demon seems different from the one in the Spirit Herb Garden!
"It's faking it again!" Ye Xinghan said with certainty, and then took out a sealing talisman, about to slap it on the latter.
However, the Wood Demon still did not hide.
No one knows how it got through that night.
That damned four-legged yellow monster releases earth spikes every time, piercing a hole in his phantom.
Moreover, Golden-Scaled Beast stopped trying to escape and instead began to move towards it.
It's as if he's venting!
Therefore, it now wishes it had a sealing charm.
"Sixteenth Uncle, no problem, I'm training the hawk!" Ye Jingcheng said.
After saying that, he also took out a teapot and said:
"Sixteenth Uncle, try this Cloud Mountain Tea from Cloud-Spreading Valley. It gives you a feeling of riding the clouds and mist!" Ye Jingcheng took out the spiritual tea.
His Blood Pact also came from Ye Xinghan, so he should thank the latter.
Moreover, it was Ye Xinghan who told him about the Wood Demon.
Ye Xinghan was somewhat surprised, but after seeing that the Wood Demon was indeed like that, he was amazed and gave Ye Jingcheng a thumbs up.
Then he landed in the courtyard and began drinking the spiritual tea.
Cloud Mountain Tea is a spiritual tea of the Li Family, First-Tier Superior-Grade. Even the Li Family doesn't have many of them, and this tea tree does not support grafting or cuttings.
Even if Ye Jingcheng used his spiritual light, it would be useless. Many Spirit Plant in the Cultivation World have this characteristic, and Ye Jingcheng couldn't do anything about it.
However, because of his love for tea and his long tenure guarding Cloud-Spreading Valley, Ye Jingcheng had acquired a considerable amount of Cloud Mountain Tea.
This drink was also quite delightful.
The two then began to discuss the characteristics of the Spirit Plant.
Ye Xinghan further stated that he already possessed the method for Blood Pact with Spirit Plant.
He told Ye Jingcheng to be extra careful, and that he would give it to Ye Jingcheng as soon as it was perfected.
Ye Jingcheng was naturally very grateful, but he didn't mention the matter of the Soul Pact.
His healing and animal husbandry abilities can be attributed to his mysterious spiritual body, a fact that he, Ye Xingliu, and other Lineage members tacitly acknowledge.
Last time, when it was given to the Taiyi Sect, it was also indicated that Ye Jingcheng had a hidden spirit.
But the matter of Soul Pact is hard to justify.
Ye Jingcheng saw Ye Xinghan off at noon.
Before he could even look at his Five Poison Bee, he saw a flash of light appear in the distance again, and Ye Jingyu, Ye Jingli Ye Jingyong, and several others were approaching.
Among the Ye family members of the Ye Family generation, these few were the most compatible.
We also visited the Taihang Mountain Range together several times.
However, in recent years, everyone has been quite busy, and we've been spending less and less time together.
This time, it's quite a rare occurrence.
"Jingcheng, your yard is truly spacious!" Ye Jingli's envy was immediately apparent.
At this moment, Ye Jingli wearing a crimson weapon-refining robe, exuding the aura of Artifact Refining Master, but his unreliable personality remained unchanged.
Ye Jingyong, dressed in a festive Daoist robe, had a broad smile on his face.
Needless to say, he has spent the most time with Ye Jingyu in the past few years.
"Second Brother, Fourth Brother, Sixth Brother, come quickly, let's try some Cloud Mountain Tea!" Ye Jingcheng said.
"Jingcheng, today is such a joyous occasion, why drink any spirit tea? I have a pot of Volcano Red here, it's very strong, I guarantee it will satisfy you, Second Brother. Today is a triple celebration!" Ye Jingli continued.
The three of them entered the courtyard and saw the Wood Demon.
Ye Jingyong and Ye Jingyu both looked on with great interest.
Ye Jingli, however, did the opposite. He took out four jugs of wine from his Storage Bag, then four bronze wine cups. But that wasn't all. He then took out a three-foot-long Star-Pattern Fish, followed by three plates of spirit apricots and a plate of Sunflower Spirit Seed.
"Today, one person, one pot; no one needs to use Spiritual Qi to dissipate the effects of the wine!" Ye Jingli casually.
