The Thunder Rhino Insect Advances
Inside the Grotto-Heaven, the tender tea leaves bloomed exceptionally green, like delicate green jade blossoms, radiating a rich spiritual light.
Amidst the lush greenery, a unique fragrance lingers, persisting for a long time within the small, Grotto-Heaven space.
Ye Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
Ten days have passed since I left Ye Xingqun's place. The transplantation of Floating Cloud Tea has gone exceptionally smoothly, which is not solely due to his Treasure Radiance's efforts.
This is also due to the abundance of Spiritual Qi within the Grotto-Heaven.
Unlike in Taichang Market, where Ye Jingcheng couldn't fully activate his Grotto-Heaven, he didn't have that constraint on Soaring Cloud Peak.
With the birth of the Stone Spirit, its speed of absorbing Spiritual Qi is almost comparable to that of a second-tier high-grade Spirit Gathering Formation.
Soaring Cloud Peak was originally a third-tier Spirit Vein, and instantly a huge vortex formed in his small courtyard, with torrential Spiritual Qi surging wildly into the Grotto-Heaven.
The sky above the Grotto-Heaven was thus enveloped in a colorful, misty aura.
When these spiritual mists condense in large quantities, they will form fine, colorful raindrops around the Spirit Eye Spring.
The only drawback is that the Spiritual Qi of the rain is not as high as that of the water.
Worried about affecting the purity of the spiritual spring, Ye Jingcheng set up a restriction array on the Spirit Eye Spring.
It ensures that the spiritual rain cannot enter the spiritual spring, but it can cover other spirit medicine.
The Wood Demon especially enjoyed taking the Stone Spirit to bathe in the rain.
The result is that there isn't much rain, but it comes every few days.
Whenever it rains, the Four-Colored Cloud Deer is equally enthusiastic, and sometimes it even carries the Wood Demon and the Stone Spirit on a gallop.
The light in its eyes intensified, as if it were a spirit pet born of heaven and earth.
Of course, besides this, Ye Jingcheng also discovered that there were some ordinary spirit trees in the Spirit Herb Garden. The seeds of these spirit trees were naturally planted by the Three-Color Cloud Deer, and they were growing extremely fast in the Spirit Herb Garden.
However, it should be noted that Ye Jingcheng would not bestow Treasure Radiance upon these spirit trees.
This made him wonder if the Four-Colored Cloud Deer could enhance the growth of the spirit tree.
They then had the Four-Colored Cloud Deer try to catalyze the Adamantine Vine.
However, no results will be seen in the short term.
During the period when the spiritual mist appeared, even the Golden Falcon no longer refrained from soaring through the sky because the Grotto-Heaven was too small, as it had before.
Now it takes a stroll in the misty spiritual fog almost every day, and its long, drawn-out cry will cause the Soil-Turning Earthworm on the ground to bury themselves deep in the soil.
It seemed as if it feared a golden eagle's talons might land on its head or rump.
Ye Jingcheng stood up and walked to the group of Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle. He gathered all twenty Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle together and divided them into two groups according to their talents.
He set aside the eight that could advance twice, and after hesitating for a moment, Ye Jingcheng took out the four stronger ones from the remaining eight and put them together separately.
After dividing the items into three batches, Ye Jingcheng opened his Storage Bag and took out three pill bottles and a jade box.
Each bottle contains three Thunder Rhinoceros Pills.
During the ten-day break, he refined four batches of first-tier Thunder Rhinoceros Pill, but only succeeded in refining two batches, one with five pills and the other with four pills.
At this moment, with three more spiritual incense sticks available, he gave them to the four most powerful Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle. After the four Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle finished consuming them, Ye Jingcheng mixed Amber Crystal into the Spirit Beast meat.
The four Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle, accustomed to eating the flesh of Spirit Beast, devoured it completely in no time.
After consuming the Thunder Rhinoceros Pill and the Amber Crystal, lightning surged within his abdomen, and his entire body was enveloped in thunderous spiritual power.
Ye Jingcheng also quickly channeled the Treasure Radiance into the Spirit Insect to ensure their absorption rate.
Only after that was done could the remaining Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle be fed.
Ye Jingcheng had no choice but to administer only three Thunder Rhinoceros Pills to the last twelve Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle.
These Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle have less potential; even if one insect takes one pill, the chances of it advancing its bloodline are slim.
It is estimated that it will need to be refined again in the future.
His most pressing task right now is to focus on using Thunder Rhinoceros Pill to ensure the survival of high-potential Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle.
As expected, after being fed, all eight Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle entered a state of advanced breakthrough.
Of the remaining twelve, only three entered the state. The remaining nine merely appeared more agile, with a slightly denser lightning in their abdomens, and then showed no further reaction.
Ye Jingcheng was prepared for this and wasn't too disappointed.
After all, the Golden-Scaled Beast had failed once before when it was using a Golden Scale Pill.
It's even more normal for these Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle to still feed separately.
"Chirp!" Before Ye Jingcheng had finished setting up all the Golden Falcon Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle, a long cry came from the side.
Seeing that the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle had also taken the Advancement Pill, it flew over again with a pattering sound.
Ye Jingcheng took out the Spirit Nurturing Pill as usual, but Golden Falcon was somewhat unwilling, and his eyes even showed some hostility!
Faced with this malevolent aura, Ye Jingcheng hardened his mind, and the Soul Pact took effect, causing the Golden Falcon to scream in pain.
Ye Jingcheng only stopped when the fierce glint in Golden Falcon's eyes disappeared.
Moreover, Ye Jingcheng didn't even leave behind the Spirit Nurturing Pill.
They left the Grotto-Heaven and entered the room.
Faced with Golden Falcon's outburst, Ye Jingcheng was not angry at all, but rather somewhat pleased.
For Demon Beast with a certain level of intelligence, they will constantly waver between submission and rebellion. After this rebellion, the probability of them truly submitting reaches 99%.
If they continue to not resist, Ye Jingcheng will feel uneasy.
After leaving the Grotto-Heaven, Ye Jingcheng did not go inside, but instead began cultivating in his room.
Tomorrow is the clan assembly, and he must be in top condition.
A ray of dawn emerged from the east, illuminating and dispersing much of the surrounding mist.
A clear bird song drifted from the mountaintop, only to be interrupted by the Lineage's large bell.
Ye Jingcheng got out of bed, changed into the attire representing the head of the Ye Family, tidied his clothes, and then headed leisurely toward the Lineage Council Hall.
Today, all members of the Ye Family have gathered for what is now the Ye Family's latest clan meeting.
In the main hall square, many cultivators were with children; they were all part of this new batch of immortal seedlings.
Unlike last time, when Ye Jingcheng needed to undergo training, this time the immortal seedlings were all brought back by other clansmen after testing.
Ye Xingliu arrived earlier than Ye Jingcheng, but because of the clan meeting, the ancestral recognition ceremony had not yet begun.
The mortal territory controlled by the Ye Family now includes the Ye Family's own three counties and more than a dozen towns, as well as the Li Family's territory, which includes four counties and more than twenty towns.
The Ye Family has been in control of the Li Family's territory for many years. The Ascension Ceremony was not held last time, but it cannot be held this time, otherwise many promising immortals will be missed.
For the Ye Family, which currently lacks cultivators with Spirit Root, this is not worthwhile.
And the facts have proven to be correct. Three years ago, there were only a dozen or so people with Spirit Root. Although the specific details of their Spirit Root are still unknown, the quality of their Spirit Root is probably not too bad.
Of course, the necessary bloodline recognition is also essential. Those without Ye Family blood will either marry Ye Family cultivators during their appropriate age or become subordinates in some of the Ye Family markets. These people will also be given Ye Family names, but they will not be able to enter the core of the Ye Family.
This time, because they went to many and wide-ranging places, everyone in charge of testing looked a little tired.
After all, they were all Qi Refining cultivators, and carrying a number of mortals while flying over a considerable distance was quite stressful.
Once the Ye Family's immortal seedlings and all the Ye Family members had gathered, the entire square was filled with nearly 150 people.
Everyone's face was beaming with smiles.
Ye Xingliu glanced at Ye Jingcheng, and then the two of them followed Ye Haicheng onto the high platform.
