A Wealth of Treasures

The space was silent, pitch black like a thick mass of ink.

There were no sun, moon, or stars, no flowers, trees, or even soil or water; it was utterly empty.

Ye Jingcheng's Divine Sense drifted in the darkness like a float. He could not see any obvious differences in the void, but fortunately he could sense the existence of the spatial barrier.

It allows him to determine the size of the Grotto-Heaven.

The entire Grotto-Heaven space is not large, but it is by no means small either.

It is about ten acres wide and about thirty feet high.

The profound emptiness of this void felt incredibly mysterious to him, yet at the same time, he felt somewhat helpless.

After all, if he stayed in such a space for too long, he would probably develop a psychological aversion to it.

Not to mention the naturally lively and combative Spirit Beast.

The only good thing is that it seems all the Spiritual Qi absorbed by the Stone Spirit has flowed into this place.

So even though there are no Spirit Vein here, there is still Spiritual Qi, and Spiritual Qi is constantly increasing. It's just unknown how strong the Stone Spirit can absorb Spiritual Qi.

This is something that certainly won't be apparent in a short time.

Fortunately, the Stone Spirit still has room for advancement and can grow larger in the future.

Ye Jingcheng withdrew his Divine Sense from the Grotto-Heaven, and then took out several Moonlight Stones and placed them into the Grotto-Heaven.

With the Moonlight Stone hanging around the spatial barrier, Ye Jingcheng was finally able to see the entire Grotto-Heaven clearly, although it was still just a slightly brighter, empty Grotto-Heaven.

The serene Moonlight Stone lay within the Grotto-Heaven, where nothing could reflect the moonlight.

Ye Jingcheng then took some more soil and put it into a small pond about the size of a third of a field.

Only then, when Divine Sense looks down from above, can one see the appearance of a recently transformed yellow earthen pond.

Then he scattered countless grass seeds and applied the Wood Vine Technique to catalyze the process, creating a green meadow.

It took most of the day for the Grotto-Heaven to look somewhat normal.

However, he also discovered that although there was nothing inside the Grotto-Heaven, the Stone Spirit was able to draw on some special spiritual energy and substances from the outside world through its python patterns to supply the Grotto-Heaven.

To ensure the normal operation of this Grotto-Heaven,

After completing these tasks, Ye Jingcheng also left the Grotto-Heaven.

He caught a few Five Poison Bee inside. Since this Grotto-Heaven had just appeared, Ye Jingcheng naturally wanted to test it out.

In particular, we must close the entrance to the Grotto-Heaven and see if the Grotto-Heaven can still store living things normally after the Grotto-Heaven is closed.

As the entrance to the Grotto-Heaven closed, the python patterns on the Stone Spirit began to disperse.

Correspondingly, the absorption of Spiritual Qi from the air also disappears directly.

It seemed exceptionally mysterious.

The only drawback is that the Stone Spirit is not yet sentient, so Ye Jingcheng has to control everything himself. Otherwise, he could just ask the Stone Spirit, and there would be no need for such a careful test.

Ye Jingcheng put the Stone Spirit back into his Storage Bag. As long as the Five Poison Bee did not die in the Stone Spirit Grotto-Heaven for the next half day, it would mean that his Grotto-Heaven was a success.

Even living creatures can be released, so when Ye Jingcheng enters the secret realm, some of his Spirit Beast will not be exposed.

Although the Ye Family had prepared Bone-Hiding Ring.

But when facing True Person, it's not always possible to hide well.

After finishing all this, Ye Jingcheng finally relaxed. The Golden-Scaled Beast beside him had completely given up at this point, opening and closing its mouth as if trying its best to absorb Spiritual Qi.

In the past, when Ye Jingcheng depleted its Spiritual Qi, he would proactively infuse it with Treasure Radiance to replenish it.

After Ye Jingcheng ignored it for a long time today, it immediately began to breathe heavily, as if it could see the Stone Spirit absorbing its energy.

Ye Jingcheng was somewhat surprised; Spirit Beast that could use breathing techniques was truly formidable.

But when Ye Jingcheng took a look, he was both amused and exasperated. The Golden-Scaled Beast was recovering its Spiritual Qi at the same speed as before. The so-called increased breathing was probably just a superficial imitation.

I can only console myself with that.

Ye Jingcheng had consulted some ancient books and found that Demon Race could also cultivate, and some True Spirit clans even cultivated Demon Race Cultivation Method from a young age.

However, ordinary Spirit Beast generally absorb nutrients through their physical instincts.

This absorption ability depends on the bloodline of the Demon Beast.

His Spirit Beast are considered to Spirit Beast high bloodlines, but they haven't reached the point where they can unlock their bloodline memories and comprehend breathing techniques.

Ye Jingcheng ran his hand over the Golden-Scaled Beast's golden armor, feeling the increasingly hardened earthen armor, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

Putting aside everything else, the Golden-Scaled Beast's golden armor was still quite impressive under the fireball bombardment of the Crimson Flame Fox.

After smiling, Ye Jingcheng also began typing "Treasure Radiance".

On the day the Stone Spirit absorbed the Shi Fang, the Golden-Scaled Beast still contributed significantly.

He wouldn't really show favoritism; besides Treasure Radiance, he took out a few Earth Attribute spirit pills and gave them to the Golden-Scaled Beast.

With that swallow, the Golden-Scaled Beast narrowed its eyes, completely forgetting about the previous swallowing and spitting, and lay down with its two huge forepaws.

He was also making soft, low growls.

That seemed to say, "You've worked hard all day, it's time to enjoy yourself."

This time, Ye Jingcheng didn't hold back on the Treasure Radiance, nor did he let the latter get up. Instead, he let the Golden-Scaled Beast eat its fill.

Ye Jingcheng only stopped when Treasure Radiance could no longer integrate with it.

After feeding the Golden-Scaled Beast, Ye Jingcheng began to meditate on his own.

Although he was able to draw upon spiritual energy, he had spent a full day observing, and his Divine Sense was significantly depleted.

As he meditated, the four-dimensional spiritual light within his body began to intensify.

Among the four colors of spiritual light, the water element has surpassed the fire element, and the last one has actually become the earth element.

However, the differences among the four types are still significant. As the bloodlines of the Crimson Flame Fox and the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon become stronger, the purity of their spiritual power also varies greatly.

The Wood element, being a combination of Peachwood Demon and Three-Color Cloud Deer, is actually stronger.

After meditating for most of the day, Ye Jingcheng's Spiritual Qi once again became abundant and clear.

All the fatigue in my body vanished.

He got up impatiently, then probed his Storage Bag with his Divine Sense, intending to open the Stone Spirit Grotto-Heaven. However, what made him hesitate was that the Stone Spirit could not be opened from inside the Storage Bag; it had to be taken out first.

Once opened, you can clearly see the Five Poison Bee wandering aimlessly around on the green grass.

Because there were no other bees of its kind and no flowers, the Five Poison Bee could only fly around and stop intermittently.

After checking, Ye Jingcheng found that the Five Poison Bee had no problems.

However, Ye Jingcheng has not yet put the Three-Color Cloud Deer inside.

Instead, he closed the Grotto-Heaven again and put it into his Storage Bag.

Half a day isn't enough to guarantee safety.

There are still seven or eight days until the start of the secret realm, so there's no need to be in such a hurry.

Ye Jingcheng put the Storage Bag away, and then took out the Storage Bag that Ye Xingliu had given him.

Inside are treasures given to him by the Ye Family, which will ensure his safety in the secret realm.

Ye Jingcheng naturally wanted to check it out beforehand.

This Storage Bag unclaimed, and Ye Jingcheng's Divine Sense easily entered it.

Suddenly, several treasures inside appeared before Ye Jingcheng's eyes.

The entire treasure consisted of an offensive Talisman Treasure, a palm-sized shield, two escape talismans, one formation- Formation-Breaking Talisman, two second-tier top-grade thunder beads, and one third-tier low-grade Lightning Tribulation Pearl.

Beside these treasures was a Jade Slip containing instructions and descriptions on how to use them.

Ye Jingcheng glanced at the Jade Slip and instantly understood everything.

The attacking treasure is a perfectly intact Mystic Cold Seal Talisman Treasure.

The characteristic of this type of Talisman Treasure is that it deals extremely terrifying damage; if it hits you, you will either die or be seriously injured.

Moreover, the Mystic Cold Seal's unique characteristic is that it can emit unparalleled cold energy, which can restrict the enemy's speed.

They can often smash enemy cultivators into a pile of ice shards.

This Talisman Treasure is also a high-grade third-tier Talisman Treasure, even better than its Corpse Spear Talisman Treasure. Furthermore, it has never been used, and its Treasure Radiance is incredibly abundant. It is estimated that it can still be used at least four or five more times.

The defensive treasure is a Palm Shield.

This Palm Shield only needs to be activated with Spiritual Qi to fly around the cultivator and defend itself autonomously. Even if the Palm Shield broken through, it will release a terrifying pushing force to push the cultivator away.

It can be considered a top-tier, second-order, supreme-grade magic Law Artifact.

After all, defensive magical Law Artifact are more urgent than Talisman Treasure.

Therefore, the Lineage's configuration is absolutely reasonable. The escape talismans are two second-tier top-grade Windstride Talisman. In addition, Ye Jingcheng himself has the Mysterious Shadow Azure Cloud Boat. Ye Jingcheng also believes that his escape speed is no less than any Foundation Establishment.

As for the one-time use Thunder Pearl and Lightning Tribulation Pearl, needless to say, the former, if used well, can kill Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, while the latter, if used poorly, may even affect the user, because even Purple Mansion cultivator may not be able to withstand it head-on.

If we also include the Mystic Azure Tower that Ye Jingcheng obtained from Xu Xiuqing, he now possesses three Talisman Treasure and two second-tier top- Law Artifact magic Law Artifact, both of which are for escaping and saving his life.

On the contrary, his strongest offensive Law Artifact are the mid-grade second-tier Mystic Silver Needle and the mid-grade second-tier Blackwood Coffin.

However, he himself didn't need any particularly powerful attacks; the Crimson Flame Fox and several Spirit Beasts were Ye Jingcheng's greatest offensive weapons.

After thoroughly examining each treasure and placing it into his personal storage ring, Ye Jingcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, a Bone Ring appeared in his hand.

This Bone Ring can be embedded in the bones of a cultivator or Spirit Beast.

However, if things go smoothly in the Grotto-Heaven, there's no need to use this Bone Ring.

Ye Jingcheng put away all the treasures, and then took out a Storage Bag.

These are the spirit medicine that Ye Xingliu brought.

Inside were three portions of the Bone-Transforming Pill spirit medicine, two portions of the Jade Soul Pill spirit medicine, and three portions of the Bloodrage Pill.

Upon hearing the appearance of the Bloodrage Pill, Ye Jingcheng understood that his Lineage was reminding him that if he encountered danger within the secret realm, using the Bloodrage Pill to save his life was the only real solution. He should never be stingy with the talent of his Spirit Beast and allow himself to fall into the abyss.

He had already considered this point, and he would not hesitate to use his resources in crucial moments.

However, he no longer needs to refine Bloodrage Pill and Jade Soul Pill, as he still has some left over from the ones he refined before.

He only needs to refine the Bone-Transforming Pill immediately.

And at least two batches should be refined, with four pieces being the safest bet.

After confirming everything, Ye Jingcheng immediately took out the Pill Furnace, summoned the Crimson Flame Fox, and began refining pills on the spot.
