Ghost-Faced Shark Great Demon, Enormous Haul

On Sandcloud Island, under a clear blue sky, a spirit shuttle quickly glided across the island.

After the shuttle passed through, another rainbow light followed, and soon, that rainbow light stirred up towering waves that crashed heavily onto the island.

The waves were tens of meters high, and looked incredibly terrifying.

However, when the surging waves crashed onto the island, they struck a transparent spiritual barrier. The barrier shimmered with spiritual light and did not dissipate; instead, all the seawater was swept back.

On the island, countless holes appeared, from which Black-Armored Scorpion crawled out. They were dark and shiny, holding pincers and hooks, and slowly formed a battle formation.

However, the waves did not rise again.

Things quickly calmed down.

On the island, Ye Jingcheng, Ye Xuefu, and the other two breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps they used up all their good luck on their way there, because on their return, they actually encountered a late-stage Tier 3 Ghost-Faced Shark Demon.

The Ghost-Faced Shark's strength in the sea is arguably at the peak of the third tier.

The presence of the spirit shuttle was sensed instantly.

Fortunately, we weren't far from Sandcloud Island, and the Ghost-Faced Shark rarely leaves the surface, so we escaped unharmed.

Of course, don't underestimate the Ghost-Faced Shark just because it doesn't come to the island. When it starts causing trouble, it can easily submerge an island with a tsunami.

And it will follow the tsunami, delivering a fatal blow to the cultivators.

The reason they were able to repel the opponent this time was twofold: firstly, the island's spiritual array, and secondly, Sandcloud Island is not small, and it would require a massive amount of seawater to submerge it.

"If we really let him come up, we might still have a chance!" Ye Xuefu said bluntly.

Having been chased so far by the Ghost-Faced Shark, they were naturally somewhat angry.

This isn't to say that Ye Xuefu is arrogant, but rather that this Sandcloud Island has a high-grade third-tier protective formation.

This island-protecting formation is different from the Array arranged on array plates. The spiritual energy is limited. If the island-protecting formation is used without regard to cost and draws Spirit Vein, its power will be much greater.

Furthermore, being on an island, Ye Jingcheng's Spirit Beast were able to unleash their full power.

"Forget it, let's collect the spoils first!" Ye Xuefu shook his head and stopped paying attention to the Ghost-Faced Shark in the sea.

"Jingcheng, you should have already created a spirit lake within your Grotto-Heaven!" Ye Xuefu asked again.

There are too many Moon Spirit Clam; each one needs to be bound by Blood Pact. It's impossible to bind them all at once outside.

Not to mention the existence of the Ghost-Faced Shark.

Who can say for sure whether the Ghost-Faced Shark has left?

Ye Jingcheng possessed the Stone Spirit Grotto-Heaven, a fact known to both Ye Xingliu and Ye Xuefu.

"It's been opened!" Ye Jingcheng nodded, and then he followed Ye Xuefu, Ye Xingliu and the others toward the underground hall.

Once inside the hall, Ye Jingcheng took out the Stone Spirit Grotto-Heaven and let Grotto-Heaven absorb the island's Spiritual Qi.

As the python on the surface of the Stone Spirit transformed into a spirit shadow, the Spiritual Qi in the air continuously surged towards the stone.

This scene left both Ye Xuefu and Ye Xingliu with a look of surprise and doubt.

However, since they were not young members of the clan, they did not speak, even though they were curious.

Instead, they followed Ye Jingcheng into the Grotto-Heaven.

However, upon seeing the appearance of the Grotto-Heaven, the two could no longer control themselves.

"Jingcheng, how long have you been creating this Grotto-Heaven?"

The Grotto-Heaven is now about the size of an island.

It is also divided into two sides, one side is a desolate wilderness, and the other side is a sacred field and a sacred lake.

The spirit field is a newly cultivated spirit field, filled with Spirit Soil that radiates spiritual light, and the spirit medicine growing there are also growing exceptionally well.

This includes newly planted Adamantine Vine and various other common spirit medicine.

Above the spirit medicine lies the most central spiritual field, where the Purple Jade Vine releases a purple glow, absorbing the overflowing Spiritual Qi from the Spirit Eye Spring.

The Peachwood Demon spirit beside it was already like a towering peach tree, with its canopy stretching for dozens of feet, not to mention its roots.

Further away lies Linghu Lake, which is almost as large as Ye Family's Lingyun Lake.

They raise Red-Node Fish on one side and Star-Eating Fish on the other.

On the Red-Node Fish side, there are also quite a few Jade Lotus plants. The lotus leaves stand tall and graceful, but the lotus flowers have not yet bloomed, so they lack a bit of the beautiful red.

Beneath the lotus leaves, many fish fry are already swimming around.

This also indicates that the Red-Node Fish has multiplied and thrived.

No fry of the Star-Eating Fish have appeared, but the larger Star-Eating Fish have slightly swollen bellies, indicating that they have laid eggs.

"It's been almost ten years since it was established!" Ye Jing estimated it himself, but it was actually six or seven years.

But he felt that the two Clan Elder might have been talking about it for six or seven years, which shocked them even more, so they simply said it had been going on for almost ten years.

"Not bad!" Ye Xuefu and Ye Xingliu remained silent for a long time before finally replying with a slightly sour "Not bad."

Ye Jingcheng has such a talent for nurturing Spirit Plant and cultivating Grotto-Heaven, no wonder his breakthrough speed is so fast.

Moreover, they felt that this Grotto-Heaven had unlimited potential. If nurtured well, perhaps in the future Ye Jingcheng's cultivation and the needs of his Spirit Beast could be supported by the output of this Grotto-Heaven alone.

Ye Jingcheng released the Crimson Flame Fox Golden-Scaled Beast Jade-Scale Flood Dragon. They were all full, and seeing that there were outsiders again, they all went to their respective territories to lie down or lie prone.

The Golden-Scaled Beast practiced its Earth Spike Technique and Falling Cloud Star Rock Law Technique alone in the wilderness, demonstrating them with its breathing techniques.

It seems that because it hasn't had a chance to fight, its passion has nowhere to be released, so it can only unleash it on the wilderness.

It growled softly, as if telling Ye Jingcheng that it was only because it wasn't given a chance that it did well, otherwise it would definitely have done no worse than the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon and the others.

Ye Jingcheng indeed discovered that the aura of the Golden-Scaled Beast had become even stronger!

It's getting closer and closer to the peak of the second tier, and it's likely to break through to the third tier before the Four-Colored Cloud Deer.

The Jade-Scale Flood Dragon stopped in front of Ye Jingcheng. Its huge white jade head looked so honest, and its big dragon eyes were full of eagerness.

Although he didn't speak, his thoughts were written all over his face.

"Go eat those Flesh Ganoderma over there!" Ye Jingcheng waved his hand, signaling Jade-Scale Flood Dragon to go and wreak havoc on the Flesh Ganoderma.

He then led Ye Xingliu and Ye Xuefu to the shore of Ling Lake.

"Jingcheng, does that Golden-Scaled Beast know breathing techniques?" Ye Xuefu and Ye Xingliu assured him, having mentally calmed themselves down countless times.

But in reality, even at this moment, they were still unable to remain calm.

Besides the Golden-Scaled Beast, they also saw a second-tier Soil-Turning Earthworm, Soil-Turning Earthworm was eating Crimson-Veined Iron and ordinary soil.

Then the Spirit Soil was born.

Because the spiritual soil within the Grotto-Heaven was all shoveled by Ye Jingcheng from the Spirit Herb Garden of the Desolation-Suppressing Secret Realm, its conversion rate is extremely high.

"They probably consumed a lot of Spirit-Transforming Pill, and with the second Soul Infusion, their comprehension has greatly increased!" Ye Jingcheng replied.

Ye Xuefu and Ye Xingliu both refrained from asking any further questions.

Considering that Ye Jingcheng had reached the Purple Mansion before the age of sixty, they actually felt that Ye Jingcheng must have some kind of hidden spiritual body.

That makes perfect sense.

Ye Xuefu began setting up Array beside the Spirit Lake. After the Array was set up, Ye Xingliu took out the Demon-Catching Bag and began releasing the Moon Spirit Clam.

Once released, these Moon Spirit Clam tried to escape, but after being separated and controlled one by one by the Array, they were bound by Ye Jingcheng's Wood Vine Technique once again.

After Ye Xingliu, Ye Xuefu and Ye Jingcheng took out the Moon Spirit Clam they had put away.

These past Moon Spirit Clam have kept their shells tightly closed, leaving no gaps. Knowing they can't escape and can't resist, they've all chosen to do the same as the spirit turtles.

Upon seeing the Moon Spirit Clam appear, the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon emerged from the distance, and all the Star-Eating Fish also appeared.

Actually, Star-Eating Fish were already very attractive to Spirit Beast, but now the Moon Spirit Clam seems to be even more attractive to Spirit Beast.

"A total of five late-stage Tier 2 Moon Spirit Clam, seven mid-stage Tier 2 Moon Spirit Shells, twenty early-stage Tier 2 Moon Spirit Shells, seventy late-stage Tier 1 Moon Spirit Shells, one hundred and eighty mid-stage Tier 1 Moon Spirit Shells, and fifty early-stage Tier 1 Moon Spirit Clam!" Ye Jingcheng finished counting after all the Moon Spirit Shells were released.

There are a total of 332 Moon Spirit Clam.

The cultivation level of these Moon Spirit Clam is easy to judge; it is generally related to their size and the Spirit Patterns on their surface.

The size of the spirit pattern relates to one's cultivation level, while the brightness of the Spirit Patterns relates to one's talent.

Ye Jingcheng's Treasure Book produced three Moon Spirit Clam when three beams of light appeared, six Moon Spirit Clam when two beams of light appeared, and nineteen Moon Spirit Clam when only one beam of light appeared.

The defining characteristic of these Moon Spirit Clam is their extremely bright Spirit Patterns, making them exceptionally dazzling.

Among the remaining spirit shells, either the Spirit Patterns are very bright but the person is too old, or the person's talent and bloodline are insufficient and the Spirit Patterns are not visible.

However, once the statistics were completed, new problems arose.

These Moon Spirit Clam are so tightly bound together, how can they be opened? You must know that the Essence Blood of the Blood Pact falls on the Moon Spirit Clam, so the pact cannot be formed.

Forcibly opening it might cause problems with these Moon Spirit Clam.

"It's alright. These Moon Spirit Clam can't stand the quiet moonlight. If you use more Moonlight Stone, they will open automatically!" Ye Xuefu said from the side.

He clearly had an extremely clear understanding of Spirit Insect, after all, he and Ye Xueliang had raised so many Black-Armored Scorpion.

As he spoke, he took out a number of Moonlight Stone from the room and used Array to block out all the light.

Watching the Moonlight Stone, like a dazzling star, slowly shine upon the spirit lake, the white light on the lake's surface rippled.

Ye Jingcheng then calmed down the Golden-Scaled Beast and other Spirit Beast in the distance.

As for the Star-Eating Fish Jade-Scale Flood Dragon, Ye Jingcheng simply shouted them away.

After waiting for half an hour, sure enough, one by one the spirit shells opened their shells.

I couldn't see it clearly before, but now I can see that inside these seashells are spiritual beads the size of pearls.

This spirit pearl shimmered with a clear, moonlit glow and emitted an astonishing Spiritual Qi.

Some of the larger Moon Spirit Clam contained three or four more.

The spirit pearls of the second-tier Moon Spirit Clam even have some special patterns.

This pattern is also called the moon pattern.

"This is the Moon Spirit Pearl!" Ye Jingcheng's eyes also burned with excitement.

The Moon Spirit Pearl is also very useful to him, but since he has reached the Purple Mansion, its effect will be somewhat diminished.

But for him, he could cultivate third-tier Moon Spirit Clam.

"It's starting, Jingcheng. You've already Blood Pact with all these second-tier Moon Spirit Clam. Right now, you're the only one in the Lineage with Grotto-Heaven; other places aren't really suitable for cultivating Moon Spirit Clam!" Ye Xuefu said.

"Just hand over 40% of the Moon Spirit Pearl on time!" Ye Xuefu added again when he saw Ye Jingcheng hesitate.

Ye Jingcheng nodded in agreement.

He then forced out a drop of his Essence Blood and began to quickly cast the Blood Pact. Once the Blood Pact was cast, he divided it into twelve parts.

There are simply too many Moon Spirit Clam. He is currently using the Mother-Child Blood Pact method, but because there is no King Shell, Ye Jingcheng can only primarily contract with these mid-stage second-tier or higher spirit shells, and secondarily contract with those ordinary spirit shells.

Seeing that his Essence Blood had healed, Ye Xuefu once again used his Blood-Eye Pupil.

The Moon Spirit Clam were covered in crimson light, and their shell-closing speed was greatly reduced.

The twelve streams of Essence Blood flowed directly into the spirit shells, leaving them no room to struggle. All twelve Moon Spirit Clam were bound by the Blood Pact.

"The Purple Mansion Divine Sense is indeed powerful!" Ye Xuefu and Ye Xingliu were both somewhat envious.

Ye Jingcheng offered no explanation and cast the Blood Pact once more.

Ye Jingcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief after he had controlled all the Moon Spirit Clam.

He made all the Moon Spirit Clam open their shells, and in the end, there were more than five hundred spirit beads in total.

There are fifty second-tier Moon Spirit Pearl Orbs among them.

It should be noted that a single First-Tier Superior-Grade Moon Spirit Pearl costs around one hundred Spirit Stone on the market.

The price of a second-tier Moon Spirit Pearl ranges from six hundred to three thousand Spirit Stone.

In other words, Ye Jingcheng obtained nearly 100,000 Spirit Stone this time.

Moreover, this Spirit Stone industry is sustainable; a first-tier Moon Spirit Clam can produce one Moon Spirit Pearl in about two years.

A second-tier Moon Spirit Clam can produce a second-tier Moon Spirit Pearl every five to ten years.

This is why Ye Xuefu and Ye Xingliu were so excited.

In their eyes, the Golden-Clawed Sea Heron was far cheaper than these Moon Spirit Clam.

"These round ones can be taken out; they have almost no room to grow any further!" Ye Xuefu commented from the side, then picked up another one and examined it in his hand.

Although Ye Xuefu knew everything about pearls, this was the first time he had ever seen a pearl that had just emerged from its shell.

After collecting all the Moon Spirit Pearl, Ye Jingcheng took out the corpse of the third-tier great demon Golden-Clawed Sea Heron.

There are three valuable items on the Golden-Clawed Sea Heron: first, its wing skeleton, which can be refined into flying boat Law Treasure; second, its pair of golden claws, which are absolutely Xiao Ke for crafting flying swords or grappling hooks.

Finally, there's its Demon Beast Core, filled with Metal Attribute aura. It can be given to the Golden Falcon, or used to refine Foundation Establishment.

As for the Essence Blood of the Golden-Clawed Sea Heron, it cannot be used as the Essence Blood of a third-tier Golden Falcon Pill.

After all, the bloodline of the Golden-Clawed Sea Heron is not particularly strong.

"Ninth Uncle, Third Uncle, I don't need the materials from these third-tier Demon Beast. After all, I've already gained a great advantage by controlling these Moon Spirit Clam. Also, I'll only keep forty percent of the Moon Spirit Pearl!" Ye Jingcheng said.

More than 500 spirit beads, keeping 40%, that's still 40,000 to 50,000 Spirit Stone.

"Keep this wing skeleton; it will be useful for refining your flying boat Law Treasure!" Ye Xuefu didn't refuse anything else, but he refused the wing skeleton. The Golden-Clawed Sea Heron wasn't slow, as could be seen from its extreme dodging Secret Method.

Ye Jingcheng doesn't have a Tier 3 Treasure Ark now; the one Ye Haicheng gave him before, he's returned.

"Now that we know how strong Jingcheng is, I think we don't need to be so conservative..." Ye Xingliu suggested at that moment.
