News from Five-Colored Island; The Turtle Ancestor's Hint
Purplewood Island, Purplewood Hall, bathed in the golden rays of the Eastern Sea.
The deep red roof tiles and the pillars inlaid with gold wire instantly turned crimson, which, together with the spirit mirror on the roof of the hall, made the entire hall appear magnificent and awe-inspiring.
In the plaza in front of the main hall, there were many cultivators practicing.
These are all cultivators who practice purple qi. This hall also has a special magic array that can draw in the first wisp of purple qi at dawn to help cultivators cultivate.
Every morning, hundreds of purple qi are drawn down from here, creating a spectacular sight.
To cultivate the Purple Zenith Radiance Art of the Purplewood Sect, one must become a core cultivator of the Purplewood Sect and have sufficient contribution points.
Today, only about ten disciples absorbed the purple qi together, which is already considered a rather rare day for the Purplewood Sect.
Knock knock knock!
Just then, the sound of bells rang throughout the entire island.
The Purplewood Sect cultivators on the island were immediately filled with surprise and doubt, because the bell, which usually rang only once, rang three times today.
And it's still playing.
Finally, there were five sounds in total.
This means something important has happened at the Purplewood Sect.
Even the Array directly enveloped the entire island.
The transparent spiritual barrier blocked the purple qi and made everyone's expressions serious.
"The matter of Greenfish Island has been decided. The thief is none other than the Jade Chu Sect. From this day forward, my Purplewood Sect officially declares war on the Jade Chu Sect!" Ye Jingyu's voice echoed across the entire Purplewood Island.
And the sound lingered on Purplewood Island and echoed three times.
This shows the anger of the Purplewood Sect.
However, no sect conference was held.
But everyone quickly recalled that the sect had secretly gathered a group of disciples and sent them to the Outer Sea last time.
They're probably already in Jadewood Bay by now.
The Purplewood Sect has always acted first and reported later.
Unbeknownst to everyone, beneath the island of Purplewood Island, an underground hall was also bustling with activity.
After entering the inner sea from the Outer Sea and returning to Purplewood Island, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As Ye Haicheng had predicted, the Sea-Overturning Demon King followed with many powerful demons in pursuit.
Fortunately, the Ye Family acted early, and the Sea-Overturning Demon King retreated after chasing them in the Outer Sea for a while.
After all, the medicinal power of the Demon-Luring Grass needs to be refined in time. If the Sea-Overturning Demon King still wants to have a son or daughter, he will need to train her day and night.
However, the Ye Family's rapid departure caused great hardship for the rogue Rogue Cultivator who hunted demons in the Outer Sea.
Ye Jingcheng estimated that less than 70% of those Rogue Cultivators would be able to escape.
Upon their return, Ye Xuecang, Ye Shengyi Ye Haicheng immediately entered the Seclusion Chamber to heal their injuries.
Ye Xuecang had just broken through and lost a life-bound Law Treasure. To be able to kill such a powerful demon meant he was already on the verge of losing his power. Normal cultivators who broke through, except for Body Cultivator, could not immediately engage in combat.
"Jingcheng, Sea Crane, you should be fine this time. The Lineage's operation in Jadewood Bay went smoothly. We discovered Spring Jade and Cold Jade Silkworm, and also learned some interesting news." Ye Xuefan walked into the square. Although he was also seriously injured, it was all due to the backlash of the Array, plus the forced activation of the Array, which was easy to suppress.
Upon hearing the news, neither of them was surprised, as the Lineage always operated in a clandestine manner, with one faction operating openly and the other covertly, to conceal Lineage actions.
The information Ye Xuefan mentioned is quite interesting.
"The Guo Family of the Jade Chu Sect is searching for a Five-Colored Island," Ye Xuefan said directly, without hiding anything.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng immediately thought of the Five Elements Spirit Palace Spirit Diagram that had been traded away at the last trade fair.
It seems that someone really was orchestrating this in secret that time.
No wonder last time, even when he was willing to raise the price, the other party remained unmoved.
"However, much more is still under investigation," Ye Xuefan added.
Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng sighed. He was naturally very interested in the inheritance of the Five Elements True Lord.
Jade Chu Sect is relatively easy to deal with; he can handle him on his own. But the Yun Family of Sky-Origin Archipelago is a different story.
"Fourth Grand Uncle, if there's nothing else, I'll head back. My Spirit Beast are all injured." Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Ye Jingcheng was quite anxious at this moment, since the Golden Falcon and the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon were seriously injured, and he had to enter the Grotto-Heaven as soon as possible.
Behind him followed the Turtle Ancestor.
Of course, it wasn't Ye Jingcheng who requested it; rather, the Turtle Ancestor, having taken the healing pills, didn't leave.
Ye Haicheng went to heal his injuries, and the dog automatically stayed behind Ye Jingcheng.
It means that they were worried about Ye Jingcheng getting hurt, so they protected Ye Jingcheng.
"It's alright. You've all worked hard this time, especially Jingcheng and Sea Crane. By the way, please report the great demons and second-tier Demon Beast you killed. The Lineage will distribute contribution points to you according to that this time." Ye Xuefan shook his head, but quickly added.
After saying this, he also looked at the other Foundation Establishment cultivators.
"You too, report all the demonic Demon Beast you've slain. All the spoils this time are yours, and the contribution points will be distributed to you by your second brother." Ye Xuefan also looked at the other Foundation Establishment.
Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng also began to take out the Jade Slip to record.
Although he had acquired a large number of Moon Spirit Clam and earned a lot of Spirit Stone some time ago, he was now consuming a lot of Spirit Stone, so he naturally wouldn't refuse to get more contribution points for free.
The record is quite simple. When you kill Demon Beast, especially a powerful one, it will always leave behind Spirit Beast Materials. Even if you kill a powerful demon and don't have time to collect them, you can still report it. However, you will need to use Spirit-Inquiring Talisman at that time.
This made things even simpler for Ye Jingcheng, as he had the Wood Demon and all the Spirit Beast Materials were collected intact.
Not one was left behind.
Ye Jingcheng was surprised when he recorded it on the Jade Slip.
This time, he and Ye Haicheng were able to kill four great demons, sixty second-tier Demon Beast, and three hundred and eighty-two first-tier Demon Beast on the island.
Among the great demons, there are two mid-stage third-tier Demon Beast: the Golden Great Roc Bird and the Black Jade Thunder Eel.
Even with the Dharma Manifestation, this achievement is still absolutely astonishing.
Moreover, the second- Demon Beast and first-tier Demon Beast were all killed by the Golden-Scaled Beast, the Four-Colored Cloud Deer, and Spirit Beast such as the Wood Demon Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle and Blood Hawk. He didn't have to take action often.
After Ye Jingcheng finished making the calculations, he handed the Jade Slip to Ye Xuefan.
Upon seeing the Jade Slip, Ye Xuefan couldn't help but glance at Ye Jingcheng a few more times. He nodded but didn't say much, only clapping his hands in appreciation.
Ye Haihe also gave Jade Slip, but Ye Xuefan showed no expression whatsoever.
It seems as if this is how it should be.
This expression naturally piqued the curiosity of the rest of the Ye Family.
After all, Ye Haihe has quite a reputation on Hidden Island. Not only does he cultivate both physical and magical techniques, but he has also gained the approval of his Lineage and inherited the Star-Eyed Iron Ape.
Logically speaking, his performance should have been better than Ye Jingcheng's.
Ye Xuefan didn't give an answer, and even though they had guesses in their hearts, they couldn't say anything.
Only Ye Haisheng walked to the side.
"Fourth Uncle, Sea Crane killed two Sword-Toothed Shark, doesn't that make him rank first?"
"No, someone killed three of them." Ye Xuecang glanced at Ye Haisheng, then stopped talking and called on everyone to continue collecting them.
After a long while, he seemed to remember something and added again:
"There are also mid-stage Tier 3 members inside, and we've killed quite a few before that!"
Although Ye Xuecang did not mention his name, everyone understood that the person speaking was clearly Ye Jingcheng.
Moreover, according to this statement, Ye Jingcheng's strength is probably even greater than Ye Xuefan's.
Ye Haisheng looked on in disbelief. He even guessed at Ye Jingcheng's various methods and wanted to expose him in public, but when he thought of his fourth uncle, the most impartial and incorruptible member of the Ye Family, he swallowed his words.
His face was filled with dejection; he felt as if the pride in his heart had been easily erased by someone.
What Hidden Island, what genius—in front of Ye Jingcheng, they all seemed to pale in comparison.
He even shook hands with Ye Haihe.
"This guy is really something else!"
Ye Jingcheng was naturally unaware that he had left or that this had happened; he was only interested in how many contribution points he could gain.
Meanwhile, after finding a secluded room with good Spiritual Qi, he took out the Stone Spirit Grotto-Heaven, set up a few simple Array, and then entered the space.
Turtle Ancestor followed them in.
Upon entering the Grotto-Heaven, Ye Jingcheng saw the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon licking its body, as did the Golden Falcon. The former had many damaged scales, while the Golden Falcon was in a much worse state, having lost a wing, one of which had a huge bloody hole, pierced by the golden horn of the Golden Light Rhinoceros Demon.
Jade-Scale Flood Dragon was alright; his eyes remained bright, and he would occasionally glance at the pile of corpses beside him.
It growled softly, as if hesitating, unsure which to eat first.
The Golden Falcon was different; its golden pupils were filled with pessimism and lamentation, clearly worried that it might not be able to recover and would be left with a hidden ailment.
The great demon's regenerative ability is very strong, but that's about it.
In the Cultivation World, in the wild, if a Demon Beast is severely injured and has no pack, its fate is likely to be devoured.
This is the Principle of the world; though cruel, it is an ironclad rule.
On the contrary, the Crimson Flame Fox was pacing anxiously nearby. It wanted to save the two of them, but didn't know how.
"Owner!"
"Owner!"
Upon seeing Ye Jingcheng enter, the Peachwood Demon and Stone Spirit both addressed him as "Master," followed by the Crimson Flame Fox and the Golden Falcon Jade-Scale Flood Dragon.
However, the Peachwood Demon was just trying to take credit; he had actually retrieved the corpses of all the Demon Beast, including the Thousand-Foot Black Octopus that Ye Haicheng had killed.
Ye Jingcheng waved approvingly at the Wood Demon, then walked to the Golden Falcon's side and enveloped it in Treasure Radiance.
"It's alright, I'm here to heal your injuries!" Seeing Golden Falcon's somewhat frightened expression, Ye Jingcheng reassured him.
Unlike other Spirit Beast, the Golden Falcon hadn't spent much time with Ye Jingcheng and hadn't suffered any serious injuries before, so it wasn't particularly confident in Treasure Radiance's healing abilities.
While emitting Treasure Radiance, it also performed the Wood Healing Technique of the Flesh Ganoderma.
Although the Wood Healing Technique of this Flesh Ganoderma Demon is only at the second level, it is remarkably effective in repairing limb defects.
Now, when paired with Treasure Radiance type of cosmetic), the effect is surprisingly good.
Golden Falcon's broken wing, and it slowly spread. Ye Jingcheng could see with his naked eye that blood scabs were beginning to appear in the blood hole, and it was no longer empty.
After casting three full pages of Treasure Radiance, the blood scabs began to harden slowly, and then golden wings began to grow from them.
Although the wing feathers are just the innermost downy feathers, it's already a good sign.
You could see that the Golden Falcon's golden pupils were filled with silence. It chirped, but dared not flap its wings, only turning its head away.
Of course, the injury didn't actually heal that quickly; it was just that, on the surface, the huge hole in the wing had disappeared.
Its internal injuries will require at least several more sessions of Treasure Radiance treatment.
And it will take some time to recover.
But for Golden Falcon, this was absolutely fantastic news.
After Golden Falcon finished treating his injuries, Ye Jingcheng walked towards Jade-Scale Flood Dragon.
Besides the Golden Falcon, the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon was the most seriously injured.
Just as Ye Jingcheng walked towards the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon, Ye Jingcheng felt muffled groans coming from behind him.
Ye Jingcheng turned around and saw that the Turtle Ancestor's shell seemed to be even more badly injured.
His eyes were full of eager anticipation.
They were practically saying directly, "That dragon is a young man, he can hold on a bit longer, but this one is an elder, it needs treatment much sooner."
The turtle's neck was stretched out very long.
"I hope Turtle Ancestor will wait a moment!" Ye Jingcheng walked towards the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon.
Don't be fooled by the simple-mindedness of Spirit Beast; as a beast tamer, you still need to protect your own.
As for the Turtle Ancestor, that wasn't his Spirit Beast either; moreover, turtle-type Demon Beast have the most vigorous vitality.
Even if Ye Jingcheng dies, this Turtle Ancestor might not necessarily die.
Ye Jingcheng then took it even more natural to channel his Treasure Radiance into the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon.
The Vast Azure Turtle angry that its little mustache stood on end.
He silently recited the image of the master countless times before finally looking around at the rest of the place.
It first looked at the Purple Jade Vine, without much surprise, but when it looked at the Wood Demon Peach, a glint of light flashed in its eyes.
Finally, upon seeing the Dragon Whisker Fruit tree, his gaze involuntarily lingered.
This fruit is edible!
"Roar!" However, at this moment, the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon was not convinced and roared.
Even when Ye Jingcheng stroked Treasure Radiance, it still felt very insecure.
After Ye Jingcheng released three pages of Treasure Radiance, the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon darted into the Spirit Lake, driving out all the Star-Eating Fish, Red-Node Fish, and Moon Spirit Clam, and then blocking its cave entrance to prevent the Turtle Ancestor from continuing to examine the Dragon Whisker Fruit Tree.
Ye Jingcheng then walked up to the Turtle Ancestor and symbolically imbued it with a page of Treasure Radiance.
Moreover, he discovered that after entering a page of Treasure Radiance, the tortoise shell remained unchanged.
Then it became clear to me.
"Turtle Ancestor, gone!" Ye Jingcheng said.
He then quietly withdrew his hand.
Upon seeing this, the Turtle Ancestor's face showed that he was still not satisfied.
He stared intently into Ye Jingcheng's eyes, but Ye Jingcheng was no match for the tortoise's discernment.
The Turtle Ancestor then asked:
"Are you alright with your earth element?"
Ye Jingcheng shook his head again.
"To be honest, I'm not really of much use to your great-grandfather anymore. He needs a better Spirit Beast, but with me around, he can't get a better Spirit Beast. Do you understand?" the Turtle Ancestor asked.
Ye Jingcheng nodded, but then shook his head. Although the Turtle Ancestor's Grotto-Heaven was very useful to him, to be honest, the Turtle Ancestor's Grotto-Heaven was already being used by the entire Ye Family.
Besides, it was his great-grandfather's Spirit Beast, so he couldn't or shouldn't mention it.
"Don't worry, Turtle Ancestor, you can ask me for that kind of spiritual power anytime in the future. I am a spirit, and I should recover some every half month!" Ye Jingcheng knew what Turtle Ancestor meant.
Upon hearing Ye Jingcheng's words, Turtle Ancestor nodded repeatedly.
They were practically pointing their fingers at Ye Jingcheng and praising him for being savvy.
