Second-Order Bee King, Life-Extending Spirit Peaches

The golden-red sunlight of summer streamed in through the window, creating a dazzling halo on the table.

The Crimson Flame Fox seemed to sense that the temperature had risen, and it swayed its body heavily.

As its crimson fur swung, it stirred up dazzling crimson dust particles.

Ye Jingcheng, who was on the stone bed, also woke up. His eyes showed some weakness, but also a joyful sense of accomplishment.

Two more Five Poison Bees Five Poison Bee in front of him, spinning around and performing various complex movements.

Then it flew over the Crimson Flame Fox, then flew out of the window, and flew in all directions towards Soaring Cloud Peak.

After a long while, the Five Poison Bees flew back and landed in Ye Jingcheng's hand, and a new memory entered his mind.

Ye Jingcheng smiled with satisfaction; the second soul division was finally complete!

Next, he only needs to wait for his divided soul to grow to a certain level before he can merge with his soul again. That time, his Divine Soul might break through again.

It's possible that it could even reach the Foundation Establishment Late Stage of Divine Sense.

However, the intense pain and weakness from the split soul meant his smile didn't last long.

He then took out a Jade Soul Pill from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and as a large amount of soul power flowed into his mind.

The feeling of weakness and pain, as if his Divine Soul was being torn apart, was instantly lessened considerably.

Moreover, his Divine Soul is still recovering.

"This Jade Soul Pill seems more suitable for repair." Ye Jingcheng felt that his Divine Soul had improved a lot, although he was still a little weak and in some pain.

But it's much better than when the soul division was first completed.

Compared to increasing soul power, this Jade Soul Pill is more suitable for nourishing soul power.

Ye Jingcheng stood up, and the Crimson Flame Fox also stood up instantly, chirping as if asking Ye Jingcheng if he wanted to refine pills.

Ye Jingcheng shook his head and rubbed the latter's head.

In his current state, he would probably have difficulty even refining the Azure Spirit Pill.

He walked into the courtyard and saw that the spirit peach had grown a little bigger again.

If it was the size of a fingernail before, it is now the size of a thumb.

His seclusion to divide his soul lasted for a little over a month.

At this rate, it should be fully mature in another month or two.

The spirit peaches on the table were all radiating a considerable spiritual light, a light that differed from other spiritual lights, as they were covered with faint, mysterious Spirit Patterns.

It formed a stark contrast with the pure white peaches beside it.

The Spirit Patterns on these peaches are obscure and mysterious, and he couldn't completely replicate them even if he tried to copy them.

Clearly, this Spirit Patterns was beyond his cultivation level to control; it was likely related to lifespan extension, and Ye Jingcheng was unable to successfully inscribe it using Jade Slip.

After trying a few times, Ye Jingcheng gave up.

As he walked out of the house, the other Spirit Beasts also emerged from their respective enclosures.

Everyone was incredibly excited, especially the Jade-Scale Snake, whose body was filled with Jade Spirit, and the Jade-Scale Tail Blade's blade gleamed even more brightly.

Moreover, its aura was not much weaker than that of the Crimson Flame Fox.

It seems that it's not far from the mid-stage of the second tier. You should know that the Jade-Scale Snake broke through a few years later than the Crimson Flame Fox.

This progress is enough to show that the Jade-Scale Snake's talent is indeed better than that of the Crimson Flame Fox.

Unfortunately, he still hasn't figured out the main ingredient for the second-tier Jade-Scale Pill. Otherwise, the Jade-Scale Snake might also be able to take the second-tier Jade-Scale Pill to advance again, and his cultivation speed would definitely jump even higher.

As for the Jade-Scale Snake, if it evolves again according to the Treasure Book, it will already have some traces of a half-dragon. Its bloodline is even higher than that of the Jade-Scale Snake Great Demon of Jade Dragon Valley. Ye Jingcheng naturally very much looking forward to it.

Besides the Jade-Scale Snake, the Golden-Scaled Beast also roared merrily, but its cultivation progress was somewhat disappointing.

However, Ye Jingcheng also understood that it was normal for the latter to break through last.

Moreover, the Golden-Scaled Beast is extremely strict with itself in its training; it is the kind of beast that never admits defeat.

Ye Jingcheng took out the second-tier Spirit Nourishing Pill, Fire Heart Pill, Purple Wood Pill, and Azure Water Pill and began to feed them one by one. After feeding the spirit beast, he infused the wood demon with some precious light and spiritual liquid.

He would not be stingy with the spiritual peaches that could increase one's lifespan.

Moreover, since the Wood Demon had been bound by his Soul Pact, he wasn't worried about the latter playing any tricks.

"Peachwood, how long until your spiritual fruit ripens?"

"Reporting to Master, two more months will be enough. Of course, if Master can maintain today's grace, it can be shortened to one month!" The Peachwood Demon bowed obsequiously, then made a fist salute.

Clearly, this Wood Demon knows a lot, and its intelligence has been growing stronger ever since it took the Wood Demon Spirit-Transforming Pill.

"Okay!" Ye Jingcheng calculated the time, and it didn't conflict with his trip to Taichang Market.

Although the Wood Demon can retract its true form at any time and store it in the Spirit Beast Bag like Spirit Beast, each transplant will damage some of its vital energy.

Ye Jingcheng should wait until the spirit peaches are ripe before going; otherwise, he would waste the spirit fruit and the medicinal effect would be greatly reduced.

Mo Hongyuan will not easily leave Taichang Market now, and the Ye Family and Chu Families have not found a good life either.

He doesn't need to be in too much of a hurry.

Ye Jingcheng took out some spirit tea and fed the Spirit Beasts. Ye Jingcheng let the Spirit Beasts practice in the courtyard, taking turns fighting each other.

The Golden-Scaled Beast unleashed its Earth Spike Technique, piercing the Crimson Flame Fox, the Jade-Scale Snake, and the Three-Color Cloud Deer.

After training the latter to dodge, Ye Jingcheng sent the Jade-Scale Snake to slay the Golden-Scaled Beast.

Each time the enormous Jade-Scale Tail Blade struck, it sent up terrifying golden stars, and this was without the Jade-Scale Snake using its full strength.

The result was naturally that the Golden-Scaled Beast suffered a rather miserable fate, being covered in wounds every time, while the Jade-Scale Snake and the Crimson Flame Fox were rarely hit.

Moreover, this is under the premise that the Jade-Scale Snake did not release the poisonous mist; otherwise, with the release of the poisonous mist, coupled with the Mist Escape technique, the Golden-Scaled Beast's speed would be no match at all.

After watching for a while, Ye Jingcheng suddenly sensed a chilling aura. His face lit up with joy, and he walked out of the courtyard.

The spirit field was shrouded in a layer of black cloud poisonous miasma. At the same time, many Five Poison Bees were still harvesting the spirit honey from the Black Cloud Flowers.

The Purple Illusion Flower and the Poison Thorn Flower have shorter blooming periods, but the Black Cloud Flower blooms only once every three years and has a longer blooming period.

Moreover, it will form a toxic miasma that can last for more than half a year.

At this moment, two thousand Five Poison Bees gathered in the Cloud Miasma, resembling a five-colored cloud of insects, which was quite a spectacular sight.

However, at this moment, the growth of those spiritual flowers and fruits was nothing to Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng didn't even bother to check the Spring Welcoming Tea or the Jade Ring Rats still digging in the soil; instead, he went straight to the largest beehive.

Inside the hive, a huge, Six-Color Bee, about the size of a child's fist, was buzzing and flapping its wings, appearing quite anxious.

Its Poison Needles grew longer again, appearing even longer than Ye Jingcheng's Law Artifact Green Corpse Needle.

Moreover, the needle was black and contained a potent Deadly Poison.

It's as if venom is slowly flowing and dripping onto the tip of the stinger.

Ye Jingcheng activated the Array, and the Ye Jingcheng bee flew over and circled around him.

It was extremely adept at following the commands set by Ye Jingcheng for the bee swarm, sometimes displaying a friendly dance posture, and sometimes adopting a hungry stance.

Even though Ye Jingcheng already knew through the Soul Pact, it was still enjoying it immensely and seemed quite excited.

As the Six-Color Bee became a second-tier Demon Beast, it circled around, and all the other Five Poison Bees swarmed over.

Even the queen bees and male bees inside the hive swarm out to pay homage to their one and only king.

"Fly!" Ye Jingcheng commanded, instructing the Six-Color Bee King to demonstrate its speed.

The queen bee's wings are not large; her thin body is not suited to larger, more complete wings.

But as soon as the speed was released, a six-colored spiritual light flowed out of the air, and the Six-Color Bee King disappeared from the spot.

Ye Jingcheng was also surprised by the speed of the Six-Color Bee -Six-Color Bee King; it was much faster than the Golden-Scaled Beast.

With the addition of its menacing Poison Needles, Ye Jingcheng's chances of winning have increased considerably.

Ye Jingcheng took out the spiritual honey and released a lot of Treasure Radiance into the Five Poison Bees.

The latter responded by flapping its wings in a buzzing sound.

Ye Jingcheng smiled slightly. With this, his safety in going to Taichang Market was even more assured.

The days that followed were uneventful once again.

On Soaring Cloud Peak, the wind and rain come frequently, accompanied by lightning Thunderclap.

Ye Jingcheng, on the other hand, seemed to have quite the leisure and refined taste for this.

Because he was going to Taichang Market, Ye Xingliu hadn't assigned him any tasks recently.

His main focus was on studying elixirs, and his breakthrough in Divine Sense has allowed him to refine mid-grade second-tier elixirs without much difficulty.

Besides researching second-tier mid-grade spiritual pills, Ye Jingcheng was also constantly researching second-tier Crimson Flame Pills.

This second-tier Crimson Flame Pill is also a high-grade second-tier spiritual pill. Although Ye Jingcheng has studied it many times, he still is not confident.

Even if it's just Six-Part Alchemy Method.

This was, after all, a second-grade high-quality spiritual pill, and his Divine Sense, his Pill Furnace, and his alchemy experience were all at their best.

He could only keep deducing and practicing with ordinary spirit medicine to test the melting point and condensation point.

Another month and a half has passed.

The sky was now a blazing red, and the windows of Ye Jingcheng's house, which had been wide open, were now half-open.

As the flames in the spirit furnace faded, he quickly poured the medicinal liquid out of the Pill Furnace into a pill bottle. This did not mean he had failed.

Rather, the spirit medicine he used wasn't the spirit medicine of a second-tier Crimson Flame Pill, but rather one he deduced by analogy, one that suggested a possible path to success in his practice.

Such practice is bound to lack something.

Of course, today is also the day I made an appointment with Ye Xingliu.

Ye Jingcheng carefully placed the Storage Bags and bracelets he needed to bring inside the house close to his body, then took a few Spirit Beast bags and walked into the courtyard.

The spirit peach trees in the courtyard were all ripe. Because of the Wood Demon, Ye Jingcheng would sometimes give some Treasure Radiance to that first-grade mid-level spirit peach tree. Although the ordinary spirit peaches were not very valuable, one could still sell for three or four Spirit Stones.

The five spirit peaches on the Wood Demon peach tree are now ripe, bright red, each the size of an adult's fist, radiating an intensely Treasure Radiance and carrying a refreshing fragrance.

Even the Jade-Scale Snake, which prefers to swallow whole, occasionally poked its head out of its enclosure, as if it wanted to snatch one or two pieces from the Wood Demon when it wasn't looking.

Ye Jingcheng took out a jade hairpin and picked off all five spirit peaches one by one.

He then took one out, placed it in his palm, and after a brief sensory experience, he was very satisfied.

He estimated that this single spirit peach could increase one's lifespan by three years.

There were quite a few more than he had imagined, considering these were only first-tier spirit peaches.

At the same time, Ye Jingcheng also had a thought: would his Beast Communion Wood Demon also result in a lifespan bonus?

Thinking about this, Ye Jingcheng felt a little eager to try.

However, since he wanted to use the moment of Beast-Link Mark to break through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, he didn't immediately use Beast Communion.

After all, the moment of Beast Communion is more effective in overcoming impulse bottlenecks.

Of these five spirit peaches, Ye Jingcheng planned to take out two and give them to Ye Haiyun.

Putting everything else aside, his mastery of alchemy is a direct result of the latter.

After collecting the spirit peaches, Ye Jingcheng looked at the Wood Demon again:

"Peachwood, you should also put away your true form!"

"Yes, Master." The Peachwood Demon instantly retracted its true form without any hesitation.

In the past, it would have hesitated to move, but now, with Ye Jingcheng's Treasure Radiance around it, it couldn't wait to take root in Ye Jingcheng's body.

It was naturally willing to follow Ye Jingcheng to Taichang Commandery.

After putting the Peachwood Demon into his Spirit Beast bag, Ye Jingcheng picked some ordinary peaches, and the peach tree now had many spirit peaches of varying sizes.

In the end, there were as many as thirty-five.

Each one shone with a spiritual light. Although they were not as good as the Longevity Spirit Peach, they were still something that a Qi Refining cultivator could achieve.

After putting away the spirit peach, Ye Jingcheng also put away the other three beasts, and then headed straight for the spirit field.

Inside the spirit field, the Poison Thorn Fruits were ripe, and Ye Jingcheng waved his hand, picking them all.

Finally, he picked some more Spring Welcoming Tea.

He also took out the spirit honey, and the number of spirit bees exceeded two thousand. In addition, with the Black Cloud Flower, Purple Illusion Flower and Poison Thorn Flower that he cultivated, the amount of spirit honey also exceeded thirty catties.

Ye Jingcheng took 80% of them, along with a thousand Five Poison Bees, and was about to leave when he saw the Jade Ring Rat still nearby. After hesitating for a moment, Ye Jingcheng took the latter with him as well.

He first went to Ye Haiyun's place, but the latter was not there this time. He had a talisman and went directly into the courtyard, where he placed two Longevity Spirit Peaches, some spirit tea, and some Poison Thorn Fruit.

He then went to the homes of Ye Haitian, Ye Haiping, and even Ye Xinghan and Ye Xingqun.

After leaving behind some spiritual fruits, he went to the Lineage's treasure hall.

We're heading to Taichang Market this time, there are five of us.

Among them were two Alchemists, two eloquent assistants, and a manager.

This is also standard practice for the Ye Family when opening shops.

Ye Jingcheng was both the person in charge and Alchemist, so this time, there were three Alchemists and two assistants.

Among the Alchemists, besides Ye Jingcheng, there was also Ye Jingyun, whom Ye Jingcheng was familiar with, and Ye Xingyi, First-Tier Superior-Grade Alchemist the Xing generation.

Among the staff was Ye Jinghao, whom Ye Jingcheng knew well, and another person who surprised Ye Jingcheng even more was Ye Jingyu.

The latter is Spirit Plant Master, and would have had a better future staying with the Lineage's Spirit Plant.

But this time, I impulsively applied to be a shop assistant for this trip.

Although the salary is higher, it takes more time and the risks are not low.

Ye Jingcheng didn't stop her. Perhaps this was Ye Jingyu's chance. She was only forty-six years old. If she had a fortuitous encounter in Taichang Market and gained the approval of her Lineage's Beast Communion, she could succeed.

There might still be a sliver of hope for Foundation Establishment.

Staying with the Lineage would indeed offer little hope of showcasing her talent for cultivating Spirit Plants.
