The Might of the Cloud Deer

As the crimson glow of dawn and the evening glow on the horizon accompanied Ye Jingcheng, he stood at the city gate, watching Ye Xingliu and the others depart into the distance.

For a moment, Ye Jingcheng couldn't tell which was the sunset and which was the crimson glow of the market.

All I know is that the Spirit Boat is still the Spirit Boat from my memory.

His Divine Sense followed the Spirit Boat far away, traveling a full hundred feet before Ye Jingcheng withdrew Divine Sense.

The city gate was still bustling, just like any other ordinary city, noisy and bustling. The only difference was that people entered the city to spend Spirit Stones.

Ye Jingcheng glanced at it a few times, but did not immediately enter the city. Instead, he flew twenty miles away, found a deserted mountain, set up Array, and began to train the Golden-Scaled Beast and the Three-Color Cloud Deer.

There were quite a few monks doing this around the market town.

After all, the space in the market is limited, so it's inconvenient to cultivate any kind of Law Technique or Secret Method. If you damage a house, you'll have to pay a lot of Spirit Stones in compensation.

But outside the market area, it's simpler.

Moreover, Ye Jingcheng himself also needs to cultivate. Practicing Cultivation Practice Method and alchemy scriptures all day long can certainly help him achieve success in cultivation, but in the Cultivation World, competition is inevitable. If the Ye Family were Nascent Soul Lineage, it would be fine, as he could steadily cultivate all the way to the Nascent Soul.

This situation, however, is not feasible.

He took out a set of array plates and immediately began to use them. Before Ye Xingliu left, Ye Jingcheng had specifically asked for an array plate with a large range. This second-tier mid-grade Sand Cloud Formation was enough to cover most of the mountain peak.

Once the yellow spiritual shield of the Array covered the mountain peak, Ye Jingcheng released the Crimson Flame Fox, the Golden-Scaled Beast, and the Three-Color Cloud Deer.

Under Ye Jingcheng's command, the Crimson Flame Fox unleashed flames directly at the Golden-Scaled Beast, possessing Treasure Radiance capable of healing it.

The Golden-Scaled Beast does indeed need more stimulation; otherwise, with its talent, it would be difficult for it to keep up with the Jade-Scale Snake and the Crimson Flame Fox.

As for the Three-Color Cloud Deer, Ye Jingcheng also felt that the latter was progressing too slowly.

After all, the Three-Color Cloud Deer already has a very high basic bloodline. The fact that it hasn't broken through yet only means that it has been fighting less. For Demon Beast, the best way to grow is to constantly get injured, constantly hunt, and be hunted.

Otherwise, it would be a waste of many of the valuable features of this Treasure Book.

The Three-Color Cloud Deer had never received special training from Ye Jingcheng before, and was somewhat puzzled by the unfamiliar scene.

But seeing the Crimson Flame Fox bombarding the Golden-Scaled Beast with fireballs, a strange light suddenly appeared in its eyes.

Seemingly gloating, it raised its neck and rhythmically flapped its wings, as if cheering.

However, the next moment, Ye Jingcheng unleashed a Falling Flame Fire Feathers, which covered the Three-Color Cloud Deer.

Previously, Ye Jingcheng could only condense seven or eight Dao Flame feathers, but now, with the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage and the Divine Sense of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, he can now condense twenty Dao Flame feathers, densely packed together.

The Three-Color Cloud Deer reacted quickly, but it was only at the late stage of the first tier and didn't have time to react.

Despite the attack, the blade still managed to pierce its robust deer body, and instantly, flames erupted.

Fortunately, the flames were extinguished by a flap of its wings and a breath from its nose, but it also sustained some injuries.

At this moment, it also realized that Ye Jingcheng was training it.

It let out a loud "yoyo," as if to say, "It's not that Golden-Scaled Beast over there."

But soon, Ye Jingcheng threw out another Green Wood Spirit Seed.

However, this Green Wood Spirit Seed is not from the Adamantine Vine, but from the Poison Thornwood.

The three Green Wood Spirit Seeds of the Adamantine Vine are quite rare, but the Poison Thornwood is different.

And once the Green Wood Spirit Seed was thrown out, its growth rate was unbelievably fast.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a large swarm of poisonous thorns, heading towards the Three-Color Cloud Deer.

At this moment, the Three-Color Cloud Deer let out an even more dissatisfied "yoyo".

Because, upon sensing it, its spiritual power was drained away; this was clearly Ye Jingcheng using its spiritual power.

It also sheds a few seeds from under its wings, which grow rapidly.

The next moment, it transformed into three giant pine trees, which in turn transformed into three strong and powerful Wood Giants, each over ten feet tall.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng was somewhat surprised. He clearly didn't know when the Three-Color Cloud Deer had changed its seeds.

The Wood Giant that had materialized at this moment bound all the Poison Thornwood together, exuding a powerful and overwhelming aura. In an instant, the poisonous thorns were torn apart.

As for the toxicity of the Poison Thornwood, it had no effect on the Wood Giant whatsoever.

Seeing this, the Three-Color Cloud Deer continued to breathe heavily through its nostrils.

With a sudden inhale, the essence of the Poison Thornwood seemed to vanish.

The ostentatious display quickly faded away, and seeing this, Ye Jingcheng was even more pleasantly surprised.

He hadn't expected that the Three-Color Cloud Deer's combat power seemed extremely formidable; it was just that he hadn't noticed it before.

But upon closer reflection, he realized that although the Three-Color Cloud Deer's cultivation level was inferior, it had consumed quite a few second-tier Purplewood Pills.

The more satisfied Ye Jingcheng was with the Three-Colored Three-Color Cloud Deer, the more he planned to train it. There were still four or five months until the winter solstice, and even if he couldn't break through before the winter solstice, it would be better to have more strength.

The training lasted for five or six hours, and the Spirit Beasts began to run out of Spiritual Qi, while the Treasure Radiance was almost depleted.

Ye Jingcheng finally gave up.

For him, every effort now could bring a greater chance of survival.

He wouldn't pray that the other Foundation Establishment cultivators were weak, nor would he pray for any special performance on the spot.

After completing these tasks, Ye Jingcheng deactivated the Array and flew towards Taichang Market.

Although such training costs a lot of Spirit Stones every few days, for Ye Jingcheng, the Spirit Stones needed to enter the city at this moment are nothing.

However, what made Ye Jingcheng hesitate the next moment was that two more figures flew in from a distance.

A figure was piloting a flying shuttle-shaped magical Law Artifact in front.

Behind it was a Spirit Boat.

Ye Jingcheng frowned slightly, because he was surprised to find that the figure fleeing ahead was none other than Xu Xiuqing, whom he had met several times before.

But it was the old man who was chasing after them.

However, at this moment, Xu Xiuqing's strength had already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, and she seemed to be not far from breaking through to Foundation Establishment. Moreover, she was also injured.

Clearly, the other party had a fortuitous encounter during this period.

If it were any other cultivator, Ye Jingcheng might have simply walked away; he had no intention of meddling in other people's business.

But after all, the Golden-Scaled Beast was a gift from Xu Xiuqing.

Moreover, last time he was Rogue Cultivator, so it was difficult for him to make a move; today he is a Mingpai (a type of martial arts master).

Before Ye Jingcheng could make a move, the old man seemed to notice Ye Jingcheng's presence and took out a second-tier Spirit Talisman from his robes, throwing it towards Xu Xiuqing.

Ye Jingcheng frowned, and a Blackwood Coffin flew out from his hand, swallowing all the Spirit Talisman inside.

Not a sound was made.

"Evil Cultivator?" The old man's eyes widened in surprise, and he exclaimed in a low voice.

Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng's hand flashed with spiritual light once more, and a Mystic Silver Needle flew past, shooting directly towards the old man's forehead.

The arrow pierced the latter's brow, and in an instant, the Spirit Boat, along with the old man's corpse, fell towards the ground.
