The Stubborn Golden Falcon

Ye Jingcheng once again stepped into the Stone Spirit Grotto-Heaven.

With the connection between the Grotto-Heaven and the main world, the Spiritual Qi within the Grotto-Heaven has become noticeably denser, and even the Spirit Beast have become exceptionally active.

In the distance, the twenty Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle no longer harbored hatred towards Ye Jingcheng. On the contrary, they were now scurrying around in the air like Five Poison Bee.

And surprisingly, it was the first one to fly towards Ye Jingcheng.

With the help of the eagle-taming tactic and the special Treasure Radiance, the young Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle quickly succumbed.

They even started learning the communication methods from the Five Poison Bee.

Their horns, which are more prominent than those of the Five Poison Bee, and their larger abdominal sacs make them look exceptionally comical as they spin through the air.

Unlike the Five Poison Bee, whose abdominal sac is merely for decoration, the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle's abdominal sac is where it stores its Thunder Attribute spiritual power.

Ye Jingcheng previously judged whether the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle had fully released its Thunder Attribute spiritual power by looking at this point.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng took out several Spirit-Transforming Pills, ground them all into powder, and let the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle share them.

Then they took out some fresh Beast Blood.

As the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle flew over one by one, Ye Jingcheng floated on their Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle and began to channel some Treasure Radiance into them.

While doing this, he also looked at the Golden Falcon in the distance.

This Golden Falcon is a tough nut to crack. Like the falcon training in the secret realm, this month of training has yielded little progress; it has only managed to stop the Golden Falcon from trying to attack him.

But looking into Ye Jingcheng's eyes, there was still a hint of madness beneath the calm.

Its form remained atop the pavilion high in the sky, like a golden statue.

Ye Jingcheng also tried to input some Treasure Radiance during this period, but Golden Falcon accepted the Treasure Radiance without any change in attitude towards Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng didn't give up either; he really didn't believe that Golden Falcon could resist the temptation forever.

Moreover, he is currently focused on cultivating his four natal Spirit Beast and is not in a hurry to get the Golden Falcon.

After feeding the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle, Ye Jingcheng controlled it to release Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle lightning net into the sky. He had consulted some ancient texts about lightning nets, although they didn't suggest they would significantly improve the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle's abilities.

But it will at least increase the increase somewhat.

Moreover, as long as he gradually enhances the intelligence of the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle, and they eventually become second-tier Thunder Insects, the resulting lightning net will be so powerful that even Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator cannot ignore it.

After the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle finished releasing their power, their wings flapped loudly, clearly indicating that they wanted the Treasure Radiance.

Ye Jingcheng didn't know who the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle learned its calling skills from.

However, he only inputted a small amount of the Treasure Radiance each time, just like when he first tamed the Golden-Scaled Beast, focusing on cultivating its loyalty in the short term.

He wasn't in a hurry to accelerate the growth of the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle. Taming beasts requires extreme patience, and he naturally wouldn't be impatient for quick results.

Moreover, the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle Thunder Rhinoceros Pill, which is used by Thunder Rhinoceros Insects, is still nowhere to be found.

After the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle had eaten their fill and were quite plump, Ye Jingcheng let Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle fall back into the Array.

Then he looked around the entire Grotto-Heaven.

At this moment, one can see that the medicinal spirit medicine in the Spirit Herb Garden are growing with a radiant glow, even more lush and verdant than before.

Compared to when it was first transplanted, it's much better now. Even the Purple Jade Vine, within this month, is now half bathed in purple light, while the other half, though withered and yellow, is no longer completely devoid of green.

Even their size has increased.

This means that the Purple Jade Vine can successfully grow and bear fruit under the nourishment of the Spirit Eye Spring.

This dispelled many of his doubts.

The other spirit medicine were also growing well.

In particular, the Peachwood Demon's true form seemed to know that it would not need to migrate many times in the future, as it had already spread its roots to occupy most of the area within the Grotto-Heaven.

That is, it did not sprout roots in the area reserved by the Spirit Herb Garden and Ye Jingcheng.

The trees were no longer adorned with a few sparse leaves, but covered with lush, densely packed spiritual leaves, each leaf bearing shimmering Spirit Patterns.

This would sometimes cause the Three-Color Cloud Deer to leap over and take a look.

Ye Jingcheng was delighted to see this. He didn't care that the Wood Demon occupied most of the resources; on the contrary, he was even happier to see it like this.

After all, the spiritual fruit produced by the Peachwood Demon can grant longevity.

Whether for personal use or for others, it's a good direction.

The only problem is that the Wood Demon's strength is growing a bit slower, which is unavoidable. The elixirs used by Demon Beast and cultivators have a much lower effect on the Wood Demon's growth, and the Wood Demon's cultivation system is quite different from that of Spirit Beast and cultivators.

The Ye Family doesn't have any particularly high-grade spiritual liquids; they'll need to find a way to address this later.

After checking that there were no problems with the Grotto-Heaven, Ye Jingcheng looked at the Golden-Scaled Beast below the mountain.

The main reason he came in today was because of the Golden-Scaled Beast.

Before the Golden-Scaled Beast were countless earth spikes, all created by Earth Spike Technique.

After Ye Jingcheng instructed that he would give the Golden-Scaled Beast the elixir in a few days, the Golden-Scaled Beast spontaneously began practicing the Earth Spike Technique and the Falling Cloud Star Rock Law Technique in the wasteland.

After releasing the spikes, it will run wildly along the spiked stakes.

Although Ye Jingcheng didn't replenish its Treasure Radiance, one could almost see the Golden-Scaled Beast galloping freely in the Grotto-Heaven in its excited eyes.

Ye Jingcheng wanted to tell the Golden-Scaled Beast that even after consuming the Golden Scale Pill, it might still be no match for the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon Crimson Flame Fox, or the Golden Falcon.

But at least the Golden-Scaled Beast was the most self-aware among his Spirit Beast.

"Come here!" Ye Jingcheng beckoned to the Golden-Scaled Beast.

The Golden-Scaled Beast seemed to have just exhausted itself, and it also transformed into a golden light and galloped over.

Ye Jingcheng placed his hand on the Golden-Scaled Beast's forehead and began to channel his spiritual Treasure Radiance into it. The Golden-Scaled Beast had no Spiritual Qi left, so it wasn't a good time to give it the Golden Scale Pill.

The Golden-Scaled Beast's condition must be restored first.

At this moment, he didn't need to conserve his Treasure Radiance.

He then used the Treasure Radiance to help the Golden-Scaled Beast, wanting to see what the pill Golden-Scaled Beast could bring it.

After the Golden-Scaled Beast recovered, Ye Jingcheng took out an inner core of an Armored Beast, along with a considerable amount of Armored Beast flesh and blood.

Although it would be more cost-effective for him to refine the Golden King Pill now, he wouldn't be stingy since he's currently advancing in his cultivation level.

The Golden-Scaled Beast devoured the food in large gulps. After it finished, Ye Jingcheng fed it the Golden-Scaled Beast Golden Scale Pill, which was covered in pill patterns.

As soon as the Golden Scale Pill was swallowed, a dazzling yellow light instantly surged from the Golden-Scaled Beast's body.

It let out a few low howls.

It seemed to be in some pain, but soon the intense yellow light had already enveloped it.

The Golden-Scaled Beast also fell into a deep slumber, preparing for its next stage.

Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng sensed the Golden-Scaled Beast's Divine Soul and discovered that apart from extreme pain, the Golden-Scaled Beast showed no other signs of distress.

Ye Jingcheng was relieved.

But then he noticed that the Golden Falcon in the sky had finally changed its gaze. It took flight for the first time, soaring and circling in the air.

However, Ye Jingcheng knew that Golden Falcon was observing the Golden-Scaled Beast.

It was clearly very intelligent, knowing that the Golden-Scaled Beast was undergoing a transformation.

But it didn't know why the Golden-Scaled Beast had suddenly entered this metamorphotic state.

Ye Jingcheng ignored this; there was still a long time to train the eagle.

Then he went to the Spirit Herb Garden and began to cultivate the seeds of the Adamantine Vine.

He had previously purchased ten Adamantine Vine seeds, used three, and had seven left. Since the induced seeds could not reproduce, he planned to plant three more in the secret realm.

The remaining four were then refined into Green Wood Spirit Seed.

This Green Wood Spirit Seed, combined with his Treasure Radiance, is no less powerful than Talisman Treasure, and it's Talisman Treasure that doesn't require refining.

If he were to cultivate alongside his Spirit-Breaking Needle Secret Method, his future combat abilities would be greatly enhanced once again.

After doing all that, Ye Jingcheng took out some spirit medicine from the Spirit Herb Garden.

Next, he will refine the Three-Color Pill.

Ye Jingcheng left the secret realm, but he did not immediately begin refining the Three-Color Pill. Instead, he started refining other Wood Attribute spiritual pills.

Having just refined Earth Attribute Golden Scale Pill, one can easily be misled by the properties of Earth Attribute spirit medicine.

Therefore, it's not necessarily better to strike while the iron is hot.

In Ye Jingcheng's view, it is better to seek stability than to seek a state of alchemy.

Two days passed quickly, and Ye Jingcheng finally began refining the Three-Color Pill.

This time, Ye Jingcheng's refining process went much more smoothly than with the Golden Scale Pill.

However, at the moment the pill was completed, Ye Jingcheng looked at the Pill Furnace and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

This time, he deliberately aimed to refine elixirs with pill patterns.

Not only are there no Three-Color Pill with cinnabar patterns, but there is also only one of them.

Ye Jingcheng took out the elixir and entered the Grotto-Heaven to give it to the Three-Color Cloud Deer.

This caused the Three-Color Cloud Deer to also undergo an advancement in its bloodline.

This time, Ye Jingcheng was once again moved when he saw Golden Falcon.

It seems that Golden Falcon is not interested in the slow increase of Treasure Radiance's power and its ability to enhance absorption.

However, he is extremely interested in advanced bloodlines.

It also flew towards Ye Jingcheng on its own initiative. It flew very slowly, but in the air, even if the Golden Falcon deliberately slowed down, its speed was still exceptionally fast.

Otherwise, the Corpse Daoist wouldn't have capsized in the secret realm.

Just as the Golden Falcon flew over, Ye Jingcheng simply left.

In the past, when he showed goodwill, Golden Falcon didn't appreciate it. Now that Jin Jun is taking the initiative to approach him, Ye Jingcheng can't seem to get his way.

However, Grotto-Heaven, he deliberately threw out a second-grade low-level Metal Attribute spiritual pill.

Golden Falcon watched as Ye Jingcheng disappeared, leaving only one spirit pill.

It then swallowed the elixir.

It soon let out a long, excited cry.

At this moment, it doesn't care whether Ye Jingcheng leaves or not; it only cares about that transformative state.

However, it felt the surging Spiritual Qi within its body and indeed made great progress.

But it didn't reach that advanced state, which left its eyes somewhat bewildered and disappointed. It flapped its wings and climbed back to the top of the pavilion.

His eyes then remained fixed on the yellow light of the Golden-Scaled Beast and the blue light of the Three-Color Cloud Deer.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng could naturally sense Golden Falcon's thoughts through the Soul Pact, so he was not in a hurry.

He's in the same state now as the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle when it first sensed the Treasure Radiance. He estimates that in another six months or so, the Golden Falcon will be truly tamed.

That was also the time when he began to promote Golden Falcon.

Before that, he planned to split the Heavenly Soul Art into two parts again.

Furthermore, mastering the Spirit-Breaking Needle Technique is crucial for Spirit-Breaking Needle, as the growth of Divine Sense is extremely important for his survival.

As for Chu Yanqing's elixir, Ye Jingcheng naturally wouldn't start refining it so quickly.

If he could refine such an important Profound Water Pill so quickly, and even have pill patterns, that would be too high-profile.
