Cloud-Horned Deer, Cold Jade Toad
As the sunlight shone through, a lush little hill gleamed with a faint, crystalline blue light.
The warm sun, just after the vernal equinox, is still quite gentle, and even the spring breeze is tender.
At this moment, in a spiritual field on the hill, tender green shoots sprouted from the stems, carrying the joy of new life.
However, the next moment, he was swallowed whole by a large deer.
At that moment, another head poked out from the side, but it was a step too slow. It could only squint and let out a cry, even nudging the former with the sharp horn on its forehead.
There are quite a few of these Cloud Deer with wood grain patterns on the entire hill.
They were all clearly attracted by this spiritual field.
At that very moment, the largest Cloud-Horn Deer in the very center raised its head.
It seemed to sense something.
Its cloud-like horns, which had split open in countless directions, suddenly flashed with spiritual light, and in an instant, countless vines appeared, coiling towards the vicinity.
This scene left the other Cloud Deer completely baffled.
But soon a huge spiritual shield appeared. This spiritual shield had obviously just been raised, and there were still many gaps between the array flags.
The vines crashed into the spirit barrier, but could not advance any further, eventually piling up into a heap.
"Jingcheng, this old deer is still very alert!" Ye Jingli's voice rang out from the side. Now that the array plate was complete, they were no longer worried that the group of Cloud-Horn Deer would escape.
"Let's finish this quickly. There are still many Demon Beasts in the distance. This Beast Tide has become quite dramatic, turning into fortuitous opportunity for us cultivators of Taihang Commandery!" Ye Jingcheng, dressed in a dark Daoist robe, sighed slightly.
After initially displaying terrifying corrosive power, the vast territory caused the Demon Beast Tide separate.
Moreover, the Demon King and countless powerful demons retreated to the Taihang Mountain Range in advance.
Only some first- and second-tier Demon Beasts remained in the Taihang Commandery.
Therefore, after a period of silence, the Ye Family and other cultivation Lineage emerged from their clan mountains and began to purge the entire Taihang Commandery.
The harvest was naturally plentiful.
Ye Jingcheng, along with several members of the Ye Family, is now carrying out the sixth wave of the purge.
However, the monsters previously cleared out were mostly Azure Cloud Wolves or second-tier Black-Spotted Tigers; there weren't many valuable Demon Beasts.
However, at this moment, his gaze was fixed on the Cloud-Horn Deer King.
He felt that there was a good chance that this deer king had an inner core, after all, it could use the Wood Vine Technique, and the power of that Wood Vine Technique was not weak, much stronger than Ye Jingcheng's.
Perhaps it was all due to his fortuitous opportunity with the Three-Color Cloud Deer!
He first patted the Spirit Beast pouch, sending a large swarm of Five Poison Bees flying away.
These Five Poison Bees were all as thick as a thumb, and the Six-Color Poison Bee at the head was even more ferocious, only a hair's breadth away from becoming a second-tier Demon Beast.
Although the Cloud-Horn Deer in front of us is a deer, its attack power is not bad in the Taihang Mountain Range.
Its antlers can support them during a rapid charge.
This sudden charge is even faster than the burst speed of Body Cultivator.
Ordinary cultivators, if unprepared and unaware of its habits, may suffer great losses.
Ye Jingcheng's swarm of Five Poison Bees is just the right thing to do to control them.
However, the Ye Family naturally wouldn't exterminate this group of Cloud-Horn Deer.
These Cloud-Horn Deer are highly nourishing demonic Demon Beasts, with excellent effects on both nourishing a cultivator's Blood Qi and qi and restoring their vital energy.
Moreover, even drinking its blood dry can have a healing effect, making it a powerful and nourishing Wood Attribute Demon Beast with offensive capabilities.
Therefore, even though Ye Jingcheng, Ye Jingli, and several other young members of the Ye Family were all guarding the perimeter at the moment, they did not use any Spirit Talisman.
Ye Jingcheng controlled the Five Poison Bees, shooting their Cloud-Horn Deer.
The venom his Five Poison Bees consumes is mostly from the Purple Illusion Flower, so the effect of their Poison Needle is also hallucinogenic.
With each volley of tail needles shooting down, the herd of Cloud-Horn Deer had no chance to escape.
Their eyes turned a deep purple, radiating madness, and they immediately began to clash and fight each other.
This collision was extremely fierce. As soon as the Cloud-Horn Deer emitted a spiritual light from its cloud horns, its charging speed was comparable to that of a higher-level Body Cultivator.
The only exception was the Cloud-Horn Deer King, which even Ye Jingcheng couldn't get the desired effect from using the stinger of Six-Color Bee.
It merely shook its head slightly and continued charging towards Ye Jingcheng.
This Cloud-Horn Deer has an extremely violent temper and is fearless in the face of death!
Therefore, they are extremely rare in the Taihang Mountain Range. After all, if there is no powerful stag king, these deer are very likely to become prey and be devoured!
If it weren't for this Beast Tide, the Ye Family wouldn't have been able to find it.
As the Cloud-Horn Deer charged at him, Ye Jingcheng made a hand seal, and in an instant, a huge Profound Cold Ice Shield formed in front of him.
The ice shield shattered instantly upon impact with the Cloud-Horn Deer; the speed was simply too fast, and the cloud horns were exceptionally hard.
Just then, Ye Jingcheng took out the Azure Cloud Ring and used it to shield the second-tier Cloud-Horn Deer.
However, before the Azure Cloud Ring could even release its dazzling spiritual light and land above the Cloud-Horn Deer, countless vines flew out and grabbed Azure Cloud Ring.
At the same time, Ye Jingcheng took out the Blackwood Coffin again and forcibly pulled it.
This caused the Cloud-Horn Deer King to open its eyes wide and cry out in extreme panic.
It raised its hooves high, trying to retreat, but was pulled down by the Blackwood Coffin. Ye Jingcheng simply summoned the second-tier mid-grade Boundless Ruler and killed the Cloud-Horn Deer King on the spot.
As the Deer King's head fell, Ye Jingcheng quickly took out a jade bottle and caught all the blood from the Cloud-Horn Deer.
These second-tier deer blood are worth a considerable amount of Spirit Stones.
As for the remaining deer carcasses, Ye Jingcheng froze them with a Mystic Cold Talisman.
They opened the deer head again and, sure enough, found a second-tier Demon Beast Core inside.
The inner core was the same size as a regular pill; it wasn't of poor quality, but it wasn't particularly good either.
But if you were to sell it, you could definitely get several thousand Spirit Stones.
After all, Wood Attribute Demon Beast are rarer than Demon Beast of other attributes.
While Ye Jingcheng was dealing with the Cloud-Horn Deer, Ye Jingli and the others had also finished dealing with the other Cloud-Horn Deer.
Most of the adult males among these Cloud-Horn Deer were killed, leaving the Cloud-Horn Deer with almost no potential; only the females and calves were spared.
Of course, even if they are left behind, special Spirit Talisman will be placed on their heads.
Otherwise, even if the Cloud-Horn Deer isn't strong enough, it will still charge around recklessly when it gets stubborn.
This time, the Ye Family collected a total of seven male deer carcasses, five female deer, and ten young Cloud-Horn Deer.
There was one more Cloud-Horn Deer among them, with considerable talent, capable of advancing twice more, which impressed Ye Jingcheng.
In fact, if he hadn't had the Three-Color Cloud Deer before, he might have made this Cloud-Horn Deer his natal wood Spirit Beast.
"This little deer is quite nice!" Ye Jingcheng reminded Ye Jingli.
Finally, Ye Jingcheng pointed to one of the slightly weaker cloud-horned fawns.
This fawn was smaller and thinner than the others, and was not well-liked in the herd; it seemed that none of the females had given birth to it.
"Okay!" Ye Jingli nodded.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng said no more; that was all he could hint at.
These young Ye Family as their Spirit Beasts.
Ye Jingli can be selected, perhaps in the future, Ye Jingcheng can simplify the Advancement Pills for the Three-Color Cloud Deer and give them to the Cloud-Horn Deer.
After collecting all the Cloud-Horn Deer, Ye Jingcheng also dispelled the Array. He glanced at the spirit field in front of him, where all the rice and herbs had been devoured.
Even the spirit fields were completely ruined.
"This spiritual field is ruined!" Ye Jingcheng sighed.
Only after cultivating the spirit field did I realize how difficult it was to cultivate.
Ye Jingli and the others didn't seem to mind. In their view, as long as the Spirit Vein existed, the Lineage could simply plant it again in a few days.
"Let's go, next place! My Five Poison Bees have spotted another batch of Demon Beast!" While the group was still in a daze, a Five Poison Bee flew back from a distance.
It landed on Ye Jingcheng's shoulder.
"Jingcheng, your Five Poison Bees seem to be stronger than Uncle Qi's Five Poisons Peaks. Could you sell me some later?" Ye Jingli asked enviously.
The Ye Family now has two people with the Five Poison Bees: Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xingqun.
However, after this Beast Tide, Ye Jingcheng's Five Poison Bees were able to travel an unusually long distance, and their intelligence was also much stronger.
Not to mention the Six-Color Bee.
"This is the effect of the Spirit-Transforming Pill. Your Azure-Scaled Python is stronger, so I'll give you one later!" Ye Jingcheng still had a good impression of this sixth brother in front of him.
"Alright, thank you very much then. In the future, Jingcheng, whatever Law Artifacts you need to refine, just leave it to me, no fees required!" Ye Jingli extremely excited, and even a little exaggerated.
"I've recently learned your alchemy techniques!" he said, then chuckled.
Ye Jingcheng smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.
He knew what Ye Jingli was talking about; it was nothing more than using Demon Beasts to refine weapons. However, Ye Jingli's Fire Attribute Demon Beast Demon Beast was merely Lineage heirloom, and its potential was simply insufficient.
But Ye Jingcheng couldn't say anything at the moment, so he continued to lead the others to clear out the Demon Beast.
Before a clear, blue pool, a Five Poison Bee floated on the surface, swaying with the ripples.
The next moment, the water began to ripple slightly, and then a Cold Jade Toad poked its head out, its tongue reaching out to swallow the Five Poison Bees.
Just then, a freezing talisman suddenly froze the pool water, and at the same time, a Green Corpse Needle pierced through the toad.
The Cold Jade Toad's eyes bulged out immediately, and it floated on the ice surface.
"Another late-stage Tier 1 Cold Jade Toad, Jingcheng, this is quite a haul!" Ye Jingli, took out the Cold Jade Toad the size of a basin, and said with a smile.
Ye Jingcheng nodded in agreement; half a month had passed since their hunt.
The Demon Beast from other areas have almost all retreated, and only this old pool near the Taihang Mountain Range still holds a number of Cold Jade Toads.
Each of these Cold Jade Toads is worth over a hundred Spirit Stones, and the most valuable part is the Cold Jade Toad skin, which is an excellent material for refining Jade Frost Robes and various Daoist robes, and is highly sought after by cultivators in the market.
"Eleventh Brother, the Lineage sent a message asking us to return. They say a True Person has come to our clan's mountain!" Just as Ye Jingcheng was overjoyed, a cultivator ran over to him.
