Ascending to Yuqing; Spring Jade Cold Silkworms

The waves at sea are getting higher and higher. Even though it's not high tide season, the waves today are much higher than usual.

The sea breeze and waves mingled, making the roar even louder.

On Jadeclear Island, several cultivators flew in a large circle around the coast.

"Uncle Zhao, is this inspection necessary? The Purplewood Sect is a bunch of useless trash. How dare they cross Jadewood Bay to come to Jadeclear Island?" A cultivator in brocade robes couldn't help but ask.

The main problem was that he had to fly twice a day, which interfered with his cultivation.

This flight wasn't just a quick pass; he also needed to use his Divine Sense to check the details of the surroundings and control a group of lantern fish. These lantern fish were specially trained spirit fish by the Jade Chu Sect, extremely intelligent and better at patrolling than cultivators.

The key point is that these lanternfish are extremely common in the ocean, and even Rogue Cultivator wouldn't pay much attention to them.

The cultivator addressed as Uncle Zhao frowned slightly, glanced at the cultivator in brocade robes, and wanted to reprimand him, but then remembered something and swallowed his words.

"Nephew Guo, the sect's rotation day is in two days. Consider these two days as hard work, and I'll give you extra credit later!"

Upon hearing this, the latter's face immediately lit up with joy.

He nodded repeatedly.

Of course, the other cultivators in the group didn't look so good.

But they were all angry but dared not speak out.

This Uncle Zhao is a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, while Guo Xianyuan is a clansman of Yu Wen Jade Inquirer Adept Purple Mansion cultivator from the Jade Chu Sect.

"The Lantern Fish is coming back!" The cultivator surnamed Zhao, whose Divine Sense was the most extensive, quickly sensed the Lantern Fish and breathed a sigh of relief.

In a few quarters of an hour, it will be sunrise, and also the time for the change of guard.

"No, there's another huge wave behind the Lantern Fish!" Uncle Zhao suddenly said.

His expression suddenly turned serious.

"Is that so, Uncle Zhao!" Just then, Guo Xian, who had been holding the needle, shot it out and instantly pierced the back of the Zhao cultivator's head.

Before the latter could turn around, his eyes darkened.

The six people traveling with him were filled with disbelief.

"You're not Junior Brother Guo!" some wanted to shout, while others wanted to run away.

But it was too late; a spirit bowl had somehow ended up on everyone's heads.

As the seawater submerged the spirit bowl, it disappeared without a trace, like a stone falling to the bottom of the sea.

The waves crashed violently against the shore, and yet another group appeared in the murky sea.

"The Lantern Fish is back, all is well!" A Spirit Talisman from the sea was transmitted to the island.

The night grew deeper, and the waves continued to crash heavily onto the beach as usual. Occasionally, a few sand crabs would be washed ashore, and after a moment of surprise, they would slither sideways to the side.

Of course, some flags also quietly fell to the ground beneath the waves and landed on the shore.

One by one, figures appeared on the shore.

Jadeclear Island is not small; it has mountains, jungles, and long stretches of sandy beach.

At the top of the mountain, there is also a Jade Purity Hall, from which one can see the entire Jadeclear Island.

Finally, dawn broke in the distant sky, and the golden sunlight grew larger and larger, illuminating the rippling blue waves of the sea.

A voice suddenly rang out from the Jade Purity Hall!

"There are enemy cultivators! There are enemy cultivators!"

These words completely shocked the entire island.

About thirty cultivators flew out, including five Foundation Establishment cultivators and more than twenty Qi Refining cultivators.

The Array on the island was activated instantly, but when Array was only half activated, most of its foundation was broken, and the spiritual shield dissipated after being activated for half its duration.

The sky full of spiritual light turned into fragments, which vanished without a trace when blown away by the sea breeze.

Meanwhile, Ye Haifei and Ye Xingyu, who had transformed into sect cultivators, appeared on the shore.

He glared fiercely at one of the cultivators. When he was setting up the array foundation, he had leaked some spiritual light; otherwise, the Jade Chu Sect wouldn't have noticed.

But the difference isn't that significant.

"Condense!" With a loud shout from Ye Haifei, their hands formed hand seals, and the Array was unleashed, directly covering Jadeclear Island.

The Heavenly Crystal Water Prison Array was formed instantly.

"Purplewood Sect, you dare to attack our Jadeclear Island! You'll be punished by our Supreme Elders!!" In the Jade Purity Hall, Deacon Guo of Jadeclear Island was both furious and fearful when he saw that his own island's protective Array had become a dud, while the enemy's Array had taken shape.

He didn't know when the people from the Purplewood Sect arrived on the island, nor did he know where the Purplewood Sect's spirit shuttle came from. At the dividing line of Jadewood Bay, there were also Jade Ring Island and Jadeheart Island, all of which were controlled by the Jade Chu Sect.

He had no idea how so many array bases had been discovered and destroyed; it all seemed utterly unbelievable to him.

Even wearing Spirit-Isolating Robe, one shouldn't be able to escape so many eyes and ears.

Not to mention, Jadeclear Island is equipped with the Lantern Fish, and cultivators patrol it day and night.

But no one responded to his words.

"Everyone, take back ten times what they did to our Greenfish Island! Of all the spoils you harvest, keep 30% for yourself and 70% for the public. Those who perform well will be rewarded with Foundation Establishment and Law Artifact and Cultivation Method!" Only Ye Haifei's voice answered him.

"Furthermore, a cultivator's Storage Bag belongs to whoever kills them!" Ye Haifei paused for a moment before speaking again.

Upon hearing this, all the cultivators rushed inside.

The group wasn't particularly interested in treasure hunting; they were much more interested in killing the Jade Chu Sect cultivators.

This time, the Purplewood Sect sent a total of fifteen Foundation Establishment cultivators and sixty-five late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

This force is more than capable of hunting monsters in the Outer Sea.

At the same time, the number of guards on Jadeclear Island is three times that of those on Yuqing Island, which shows that the Purplewood Sect is determined to win this time.

As the water prison formation took shape, three water dragons appeared in the sky, rushing towards the cultivators of the Jade Chu Sect.

"It's over!" Deacon Guo looked at the dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators in front of him and the Array in the sky, his face darkening.

"Everyone, split up and escape! Resistance is futile!"

The group of the Jade Chu Sect cultivators scattered to the left and right.

The three crystal dragons in the sky were immediately drawn to it.

However, quite a few cultivators were still keeping an eye on Deacon Guo.

After all, Steward Guo controls the resources of the entire Jadeclear Island.

The treasures he possesses are naturally of the highest quality.

However, when several Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Purplewood Sect stepped forward, they saw that another Array had appeared around the Jade Purity Hall.

The Array instantly enveloped the first few people who had rushed in.

"If you want to kill me, your Purplewood Sect will pay the price!" Deacon Guo's face was filled with madness. Of course, there couldn't be only one Array on Jadeclear Island.

However, Ye Haifei's expression remained unchanged.

Attacking an island inevitably results in casualties; this was something he had already anticipated.

He controlled the water dragon, deliberately slowing down, before lunging at Deacon Guo.

The opponent's Array also produced two Jade Dragons, their jade energy extremely concentrated.

The stronger this Array, the greater its significance to the Purplewood Sect.

While the fighting raged on the outskirts, Guo Xianyuan, who had just disappeared, entered the mine through a cave beneath the Jade Purity Palace.

"It's me. Uncle Zhao sacrificed himself for me. Uncle Guo sent me to retrieve the Spring Jade!" Guo Xianyuan said, taking out the token that belonged exclusively to Uncle Zhao.

Although Jadeclear Island has Spring Jade, there aren't many Foundation Establishment cultivators guarding it because it belongs to Jadewood Bay. Other islands have many Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Jade Chu Sect.

As long as the Array can hold out for a while, a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators will arrive to provide support.

"Junior Brother Guo, should we retreat through the secret passage?" Just then, a voice rang out.

A middle-aged Qi Refining cultivator walked out.

"Old Ma, when did you dig this secret passage?" Guo Xianyuan was taken aback.

This moment of surprise made the horse-faced middle-aged cultivator breathe a sigh of relief.

"Uncle Chen is inside. All the Spring Jade has been collected. Moreover, this time, a piece of second-grade low-quality Spring Jade has appeared. There may be more than one grade of Spring Jade mine below. The sect needs to send more cultivators!" the horse-faced cultivator said.

"Old Ma, are you crazy? There's no one with the surname Chen who Foundation Establishment on Jadeclear Island!" Guo Xianyuan said again.

Upon hearing this, the cultivator breathed a sigh of relief once again.

Clearly, both attempts were probes.

"Those down there are all mine slaves. Uncle-Master Guo Qingming said to be careful." Old Ma knew he was in the wrong, so his voice softened slightly.

"Be careful, but you shouldn't be careful of me. My second great-uncle is Master Yuqing!" Guo Xianyuan said angrily.

They even kicked Old Ma hard in the butt.

Even after being kicked, Old Ma still laughed and put on a smiling face.

The two entered the mine, where there were about thirty people, including five or six cultivators from the Jade Chu Sect.

There were also more than twenty miners.

They were all emaciated and pale, carrying barbecue chains in their hands.

Everyone was terrified.

The commotion outside was too great; they couldn't help but worry.

Below is the Spring Jade Mine, whose tunnels are extremely hard and cannot be mined by ordinary mortals. These are all Rogue Cultivator who have been captured, so naturally there is no way they could escape.

So they could only wait inside the mine.

"Delegate Guo sent you to collect the Spring Jade?" The thin, bony figure belonged to Guo Qingming. Perhaps due to spending too much time in the mines, his cheekbones were sunken, and his eye sockets appeared dark.

He wasn't a steward of the Guo Family of the Jade Chu Sect; otherwise, Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn't have such a thankless job.

"Yes, besides Spring Jade, he also instructed me to get this." Guo Xianyuan said, taking out a jade talisman as well.

Guo Qingming accepted the jade talisman, and the instant he did so, Guo Xianyuan opposite him moved, shooting out a serene magic needle that aimed directly at Guo Qingming's brow.

However, the opponent was also extremely cautious. Even at this moment, he shifted his body to the side, narrowly avoiding the ghost needle Law Artifact.

And in his hand, he also took out a shield.

It flew straight out and blocked their way.

"You're all alone, how dare you!" Guo Qingming shouted angrily.

The others also turned to look at Guo Xianyuan, only to see Guo Xianyuan the Spirit Beast bracelet.

Behind him, one after another, Spirit Beast appeared.

More than a dozen Spirit Beast appeared, including the Golden-Eyed Crow, the Silver Moon Python, the Earthfire Lion, and the Blood-Patterned Crocodile.

There are three of them, all of them are second-tier Demon Beast.

This caused Guo Qingming's expression to change drastically once again.

I wonder who I've offended.

"Impossible! How could you possess so many Spirit Beasts!"

Guo Xianyuan, raised his hand, and the pupils of the Golden-Eyed Crow began to rotate, a golden light locking onto Guo Qingming.

Another flying needle was fired, and this time, unsurprisingly, it killed Guo Qingming.

A Talisman Treasure fell from the opponent's hand.

Clearly, Guo Qingming's earlier doubts were feigned; he was secretly preparing Talisman Treasure.

With Guo Qingming's death, the remaining Qi Refining cultivators were no match for the Golden-Eyed Crow and the Silver Moon Python's charge.

To his surprise, several of the mine slaves were actually cultivators from the Jade Chu Sect in disguise.

This design is indeed good, but unfortunately it's useless against him.

He took a Bone-Transforming Pill, and his appearance changed to resemble Ye Xingyu's in the Purplewood Sect.

He picked up all the storage bracelets, glanced through them, and when he saw a bracelet made of Spring Jade, his face lit up with joy.

He was especially delighted to see that the second storage bracelet contained second-tier Spring Jade.

Spring Jade is also a type of spiritual jade for cultivation in the Eastern Sea, and the Spiritual Qi it contains is even gentler than that contained in Spirit Stone.

Normally, a first-grade Spring Jade is worth about twenty Spirit Stone, while First-Tier Superior-Grade- quality one can be worth thirty-five Spirit Stone.

A second-tier Spring Jade is worth over 150 Spirit Stone, which is definitely a considerable fortune for the Ye Family.

When the next Spirit Beast bracelet arrived, Ye Xingyu was stunned for a moment, followed by overwhelming joy.

"So this Jade Chu Sect is indeed here, raising Cold Jade Silkworm!" The Ye Family once obtained Cold Snow Silkworm. The highest level of Cold Snow Silkworm is only the early stage of the second rank, but Cold Jade Silkworm are different. They love spirit jade the most, and the lowest level is the late stage of the first rank, while the highest level can reach the late stage of the second rank. Even the third rank has appeared.

Moreover, the cold jade silk spun by the Cold Jade Silkworm can be forged into soul-guarding cold jade, and can also be refined into Jade Spirit armor, which is as light as willow branches, impervious to swords and spears, and immune to water and fire.

It's considered a top-tier material among second-tier materials.

This combination of three early-stage Tier 2 Cold Jade Silkworm and seven peak-stage Tier 1 Frost Cold Jade Silkworm is extremely valuable.

Of course, inevitably, if the Ye Family wants to raise these Cold Jade Silkworm, they also need to occupy this Spring Jade Spirit Vein.

But the Ye Family had long wanted to occupy Jadeclear Island.

The Ye Family has been in the Eastern Sea for so long that they have long since established themselves, but that is not enough for the Ye Family. They need to test the bottom line of other forces while ensuring the Ye Family's greatest interests.

However, the apparent interests are those of the Purplewood Sect.

Ye Xingyu carefully collected all the spirit jades, inspected the mine, and then set up Array to seal off the vein containing the second-tier Spring Jade.

Even a second-tier Spring Jade would be enough to attract the attention of Skycloud Island.

It is estimated that Jade Chu Sect will not let this go easily, but they will definitely not leak the news about the second-tier cold jade.

After Spring Jade's information was blocked, Ye Xingyu took out a Jade Slip and crushed it.

Outside, Ye Haifei saw the jade tablet in his hand change. He waved his hand, and several Formation-Breaking Talisman were thrown towards the Jade Purity Hall. At the same time, several cultivators summoned their Talisman Treasure and attacked Steward Guo of the Jade Purity Hall.

With the simultaneous attack of several Talisman Treasure, an aerial water dragon, and Formation-Breaking Talisman, the Array shattered instantly.

Inside, Ye Xingyu also wielded Law Artifact, launching a pincer attack from both sides.

With a loud bang, all the Talisman Treasure and Law Artifact were engulfed. Ye Xingyu's expression changed drastically. He tore apart a talisman in his hand and instantly escaped.

Even so, he still suffered a serious injury.

It turned out that the cultivator surnamed Guo, knowing he was no match, directly detonated the Array. Fortunately, at the last moment, a faint layer of snake armor appeared inside his body.
