Third-Grade Demonic Corpse, Summoned by the Fourth Patriarch
The Golden Falcon habitually flew towards the highest point, while the Crimson Flame Fox landed at the pavilion, the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon crawled towards the lower part of the valley, Four-Colored Cloud Deer landed next to the spirit medicine.
Only the Golden-Scaled Beast was still looking at Ye Jingcheng.
It stared longingly at Ye Jingcheng.
It growled softly, as if telling Ye Jingcheng that it could consume spirit pills again to break through its limits.
However, Ye Jingcheng shook his head.
It's not that he doesn't want to give it, but that he can't give it now, and may not be able to give it for a long time.
To reach the third-tier bloodline Advancement Pill, in addition to requiring spirit medicine that are over a thousand years old, all pills also require the Essence Blood of corresponding special Spirit Beast.
For example, the Golden-Scaled Beast requires the blood of Spirit Beast of mid-stage tier 3 or higher with the bloodline of the Earth Qilin.
The Crimson Flame Fox requires the Essence Blood of a fire fox-type Spirit Beast at the mid-stage of the third tier.
Needless to say, the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon requires the blood of a third-tier Water Attribute flood dragon.
Of course, once these Spirit Beast advance three times, they will almost all have the potential to reach the Nascent Soul.
However, advancing three times is much more difficult than getting several Spirit Beasts to break through to the Purple Mansion.
Moreover, for the Ye Family as a whole, the limit for developing elixirs that can advance bloodlines is almost the second-tier bloodline elixir.
The difficulty of research increases significantly once the Essence Blood of Demon Beast are involved.
Other Spirit Beast, unless they are contracted with Ye Jingcheng, will not be able to reach the third tier.
However, for the Ye Family at present, as long as the Bloodline Advancement Pill is promoted to the second tier, it will be enough for the Ye Family to grow into an extremely powerful Lineage.
Ye Jingcheng took out two Spirit Nurturing Pills. As for the Golden-Scaled Beast and the Four-Colored Cloud Deer, let alone a third-tier Advancement Pill, he hadn't even had time to refine a second-tier high-grade corresponding attribute spirit pill.
Fortunately, both of them had only just broken through to the mid-stage of the second tier, so there was no rush.
It's better to let them settle more.
The Golden-Scaled Beast, though reluctant, took the Spirit Nurturing Pill, but after Ye Jingcheng gave it Treasure Radiance, it happily trotted off towards the desolate area.
He was going to practice Earth Spike Technique and Falling Cloud Star Rock.
However, Ye Jingcheng always felt that the Golden-Scaled Beast's breathing was somewhat strange when it ran.
It feels like a breathing technique, but it's not quite.
However, he didn't understand the breathing techniques of Demon Beast.
So they let it go.
In the following time, Ye Jingcheng released the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle and fed them spirit medicine and Spirit Beast meat one by one, still leaving the Golden Falcon at the back.
Golden Falcon had no more complaints at this point.
They've even gotten used to life here.
Its daily routine of absorbing Treasure Radiance, eating Spirit Beast meat, and pecking at its feathers in the air to maintain its speed is already extremely comfortable for it.
Moreover, its aura is getting stronger and stronger, and it is very close to the peak of the second tier. Even if Ye Jingcheng doesn't give it the Golden Falcon Pill, it will be close.
The Golden Falcon was the last to land, gliding down as always. This time, it even mimicked the communication method of the Five Poison Bee, circling in the air once.
This made Ye Jingcheng unable to help but chuckle.
First the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle was like this, and now the Golden Falcon is too.
The reason why the Five Poison Bee that way is because they all have a mother-child Blood Pact and need this to communicate with each other.
Of course, telling Golden Falcon the truth is impossible.
Ye Jingcheng was still somewhat wary of Golden Falcon.
The Golden Falcon cried out and circled once before finally landing on Ye Jingcheng's shoulder.
Ye Jingcheng took out the Spirit Nurturing Pill as usual, followed by the Spirit Beast meat.
The Golden Falcon picked them up one by one, stretched its neck, and swallowed them all.
Then, he huddled in his seat and waited quietly for Ye Jingcheng to input the Treasure Radiance.
This time, Ye Jingcheng enhanced the Treasure Radiance again, and now the Golden Falcon absorbs the same amount of Treasure Radiance as the Golden-Scaled Beast.
This pleased the Golden Falcon immensely. Just as it was about to spread its wings and take flight, Ye Jingcheng took out another elixir.
Upon seeing the elixir, Golden Falcon was immediately taken aback. After sensing the aura of the elixir, Golden Falcon hesitated.
It had a feeling that Ye Jingcheng was lying to it.
It only tentatively picked up the elixir after Ye Jingcheng handed it to it.
He then swallowed it under Ye Jingcheng's gaze, and the golden feather instantly radiated golden light.
That aura began to slowly become deeper and more profound.
Ye Jingcheng was also taken aback by this scene; it was the first time he had ever reacted so quickly.
However, he also remembered that some ancient records in the Ye Family stated that if a Spirit Beast's cultivation level was high, its bloodline would also be activated.
Golden Falcon is nearing the peak of the late second-tier stage.
It's possible that the bloodline itself was already somewhat purified.
Ye Jingcheng was extremely satisfied with this. Golden Falcon would probably reach the peak of the second tier this time. Once he found the materials for the second-tier Golden Falcon Pill, Golden Falcon would have a great chance of the Purple Mansion within three years.
"Master." As Ye Jingcheng was lost in thought, he heard a fluctuation within his Divine Soul.
This surprised Ye Jingcheng, who was then overjoyed.
No wonder this Golden Falcon is so intelligent; it can even transmit its thoughts Divine Soul.
Judging from this, the Golden Falcon's Divine Soul is definitely not weak either.
With this "master" in mind, the Golden Falcon's loyalty was no longer a concern. Under the dual stimulation of the Eagle Taming Tactic and the Treasure Radiance Advancement Elixir, no Spirit Beast could escape its fate.
After dealing with the Golden Falcon, Ye Jingcheng looked at the Peachwood Demon.
The peaches atop the Wood Demon are now the size of a baby's fist. Although they are still unripe, they are almost ripe, judging from the size of the previous spirit peaches.
Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
This spirit peach can add ten years to one's lifespan.
Ye Jingcheng had Stone Spirit send down spiritual rain again.
The Peachwood Demon already carried the Stone Spirit, and this time the Stone Spirit unleashed a powerful spiritual rain.
The rain fell for the duration of an incense stick burning.
The result was that the Spiritual Qi did indeed begin to thin out.
In the time to come, Stone Spirit will need to absorb Spiritual Qi to his heart's content in the market.
Ye Jingcheng emerged from the Grotto-Heaven.
He relayed the message to Ye Haicheng and Ye Xinghe, and then planned to return to Soaring Cloud Peak.
This time, the Lineage assigned Ye Jingyong to be stationed in Taihang Marketplace.
He broke through to the Foundation Establishment, but still owed the Lineage some contribution points, which he could repay by guarding the territory.
At the same time, he also needs a way to earn Spirit Stone. You see, his son Ye Wen is already six years old. In the next three years, he will be able to have his Spirit Root tested, which will also require a lot of Spirit Stone.
Ye Haicheng agreed and left Taihang Marketplace that very night at dusk.
Upon returning to Soaring Cloud Peak, Ye Jingcheng flew towards Ye Xinghan's courtyard.
The Flesh Ganoderma Demon needs to test the latest Woodheart Spirit Pact as soon as possible.
If possible, this would represent the future of the Ye Family, making them not only a beast-taming Lineage but also Spirit Control Lineage.
At the same time, it was something Ye Jingcheng had promised Ye Xinghan before.
Although the Peachwood Demon had been tested before, it wasn't one that Ye Jingcheng had captured.
Ye Xinghan was still drying various spirit medicine herbs on the table in the courtyard, cultivating the spirit medicine herbs.
He was taken aback when he saw Ye Jingcheng coming straight towards him.
"Patriarch, why didn't you tell me you were coming today? I could have prepared some spiritual tea." Ye Xinghan immediately put down the basket in his hand.
Let the wooden monkeys in their yard take care of it.
The wooden monkey was already highly intelligent, and after taking the Spirit-Transforming Pill, its intelligence was no less than that of an ordinary person.
"Uncle Xinghan, there's no need to prepare spirit tea. Today we're here to test the Wood Demon. I've just acquired a new Wood Demon." Ye Jingcheng didn't hide anything and took out the Wood Demon directly.
Then Ye Xinghan began to cast the Wood Heart Contract.
"This..." Ye Xinghan was naturally impatient upon seeing the Wood Demon.
In particular, after the corpse contract of the Ye Family was passed back, his ideas about the Wood Demon Spirit Contract gradually became more complete.
Obtaining the Wood Pact is now Ye Xinghan's lifelong dream.
Although what he saw before him was just Flesh Ganoderma, it was still incredibly precious in Ye Xinghan's eyes.
After all, this was a cultivator who had researched and transformed the Spring Welcoming Tea into a spiritual tea.
In the research of spirit medicine, he can far surpass Ye Jingcheng, even though Ye Jingcheng is Alchemist and an expert in pharmacology.
Ye Xinghan did not tear the Spirit Talisman open, but instead revealed only a corner of it.
As soon as the corner of the tree was exposed, it began to absorb Spiritual Qi. But Ye Xinghan glanced at it, took out a Spirit Talisman and stuck it on. The speed of absorbing spiritual energy immediately stopped, but some Flesh Ganoderma fungus grew.
Ye Xinghan then began to condense the Woodheart Spirit Pact.
This kind of Woodheart Spirit Pact differs from ordinary Blood Pact in that it also requires extracting spiritual liquid, which is then combined with Essence Blood and a special Array before entering the Flesh Ganoderma.
Ye Jingcheng watched carefully from the side, and after a while, he saw Ye Xingqun tear open the Spirit Talisman.
The Flesh Ganoderma Demon did not absorb spiritual energy to grow.
"Success!" Ye Xinghan was overjoyed, as this meant his research had yielded results.
He lived up to his own expectations.
Although he hadn't reached the Foundation Establishment, in his view, fruitful research was far more valuable than Foundation Establishment.
"Patriarch, I haven't completely taken back this Woodheart Spirit Pact yet. You can re-contract it!" At this moment, Ye Xinghan forcibly forced out a handful of Essence Blood.
As soon as this Essence Blood was released, the Flesh Ganoderma began to absorb Spiritual Qi frantically.
This Flesh Ganoderma doesn't care about danger; it tastes even better than the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon.
It absorbed the surrounding Spiritual Qi intensely, and the Flesh Ganoderma visibly grew larger.
Then, as if a flash of inspiration appeared, he tried to escape.
But Ye Jingcheng reacted quickly and pasted the Spirit Talisman back on.
At the same time, he began to expel his Essence Blood, which was then mixed with the spiritual liquid extracted by Ye Xinghan.
Of course, he could actually complete the Soul Pact without adding anything, since he had the Treasure Book.
But it's not good to have Ye Xinghan around now.
As the Essence Blood entered the Wood Demon's body, Ye Jingcheng also established a connection with the Flesh Ganoderma Demon.
He discovered that this Flesh Ganoderma Demon was not very intelligent, seemingly like the Stone Spirit, having only recently awakened its spiritual power.
"Patriarch, thank you very much!" Ye Xinghan said sincerely.
He never imagined that just mentioning it to Ye Jingcheng more than twenty years ago would lead to Ye Jingcheng actually accomplishing it.
The price paid back then was only Purple Illusion Flower and Spring Welcoming Tea.
These two items, when calculated now, don't exceed one hundred Spirit Stone.
"Patriarch, I've modified two more Floating Cloud Tea trees. These two have a higher probability of breaking through to the second tier. Also, I've recently developed a new formula for cultivating Spirit Plant, which might be useful to you!" Ye Xinghan took out two more Floating Cloud Tea, both of which were planted in jade basins in the courtyard.
It was clearly Spirit Plant that Ye Xinghan cared for every day, but he still decided to give it to Ye Jingcheng.
"Thank you very much, Uncle Xinghan." Ye Jingcheng nodded repeatedly and expressed his gratitude.
He didn't refuse, though he knew it would be useless. Given Ye Xinghan's personality, even if he refused, she would secretly plant it in his yard when he wasn't around.
Ye Xinghan has a quiet and reserved personality; he rarely speaks. The reason he talks so much with Ye Jingcheng is that Ye Jingcheng also has his own views on the cultivation of spirit medicine and helped him find the Wood Demon.
Afterwards, Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xinghan drank a few more cups of spiritual tea, and then he left.
Before he could even land in the courtyard, a strange voice transmitted to him.
"Jingcheng, come to Soaring Cloud Lake immediately!"
Ye Jingcheng was not familiar with the voice, but since it could enter Soaring Cloud Lake, it must be the Ye Family patriarch.
With that in mind, Ye Jingcheng set off for Soaring Cloud Lake without stopping.
Because it's almost the height of summer and the sun is scorching, there's much less snow on the mountaintops.
It all turned into tinkling spring water, flowing downwards.
Listening to the babbling brook in the mountains, Ye Jingcheng felt a surge of anticipation, hoping that his Stone Spirit Grotto-Heaven could also have such a scene.
Before we knew it, we arrived at Soaring Cloud Lake, where the familiar lake opened up in two directions.
The underground palace was familiar, but the person sitting there was different from before; this time it was another elderly man with white hair.
His eyes appeared both cloudy and lively, a contradictory feeling that somehow seemed harmonious.
"This is your fourth great-uncle, Xuefan!" Ye Haicheng spoke from the side.
Upon this introduction, Ye Jingcheng bowed respectfully repeatedly.
He had naturally heard of Ye Xuefan. Back in the Azure Cloud Sea Region, it was Ye Xuefan who went there and quelled the remnants of the Mo Family. He was also a third-tier high-grade Array master of the Ye Family.
They have been stationed in the Azure Cloud Sea Region for many years.
"Jingcheng, there's no need for formalities. Time is of the essence, so I won't go into too much detail!" Ye Xuefan raised his hand, and Ye Jingcheng's body was automatically straightened.
"The Lineage has found a small world in the Azure Cloud Sea Region Eastern Sea China Sea, so we are no longer afraid of Beast Tide. Now that the Teleportation Array has been repaired, you should arrange for the Lineage to be attacked by Evil Cultivator, and then transfer some of the Lineage's mortals into the Little Azure Turtle's Grotto-Heaven world, and then transfer them to the Azure Cloud Sea Region!"
The reason why the Azure Cloud Sea Region of the Eastern Sea is still so prosperous is that cultivators have never seen it cease to exist.
There were no Nascent Soul sects there, and the small worlds were scattered. After more than ten years of exploration, the Ye Family finally found one.
As long as there is a small world to house mortals, cultivators can escape the Beast Tide area at any time.
"However, we must be careful in the Yan Kingdom. We should first arrange for the Lineage to settle in a town near the Taihang Mountain Range, but not in a town where only ordinary members of the Ye Family live."
Ye Xuefan added.
"Understood, Fourth Grand Uncle." Ye Jingcheng nodded.
"Also, keep an eye on the Xu Family Xu Family. They are also transferring cultivators. It's possible that the Xu Family has obtained the real Beast Wasteland Minor World!" Ye Xuefan spoke again.
Ye Jingcheng was taken aback when he heard this.
But then he remembered that the Xu Family and the Ye Family were already at odds, and the Xu family had even asked the Ye Family for help. It turned out that there was more to come.
No wonder they're still unwilling to give up despite being suppressed by the Kong Family.
Instead, they summoned many cultivators, disrupting the situation in Taihang Marketplace.
This is quite different from the way the Chu Family does it.
"There might not be any inheritance, but there might be some leftover Spirit Beast eggs or cubs!" Ye Xuefan finally said.
The meaning of this statement is quite clear: the message has been conveyed to Ye Jingcheng, and whether or not to take action is up to Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haicheng themselves.
After all, the Ye Family's current focus should be on Ye Xuecang's breakthrough.
Only if Ye Xuecang breaks through to the Golden Core stage will the Ye Family's situation improve.
Therefore, they cannot spare the resources of other Hidden Peak to help Ye Jingcheng.
"This is the Corpse Bead you gave me last time. I've reforged a third-tier Purple Sun Demon Corpse for you as an extra reward. In addition, I've also added an extra array plate. Even if you can't control the Corpse Contract, you can use the array plate inside!" Ye Xuefan said.
Ye Jingcheng was overjoyed.
This means his safety will be greatly increased in the future.
Even a third-tier Purple Sun Demon Corpse wouldn't be afraid of the Purple Mansion cultivator.
Even if he breaks through to the third level in the future, he might still have a chance to seriously injure those careless Golden Falcon Purple Mansion cultivators.
