Nurturing Thunder Rhinoceros Beetles, Gold Scale Breaks Through

In the realm of cultivation, time knows no bounds; half a year has passed once again.

On a mysterious island, fruit trees are in bloom, along with newly established peach trees.

It blooms all over the branches, each flower the size of a baby's fist, blooming exceptionally brightly and beautifully.

A gentle breeze carries countless flowers across the island.

Just then, a streak of crimson light descended from afar, and a Red-Crowned Sea Crane appeared from a distance.

This Red-Crowned Sea Crane was enormous, seemingly not far from reaching the third rank.

It fell straight down onto the peach tree.

However, before the Red-Crowned Sea Crane had completely landed, two fireballs of True Essence appeared in the void.

The fireball, moving at varying speeds, instantly blasted the Red-Crowned Sea Crane to its knees.

Sea Crane reacted quickly, but unfortunately the fireball's attack was too high.

It fell down very quickly.

Ye Jingcheng walked out, accompanied by Crimson Flame Fox and Peachwood Spirit Shadow.

"Master, these thirsty beasts even want to eat Wood Demon peaches!" the Wood Demon said loudly, sounding somewhat angry.

Its own body also used its roots to pull the corpse of the Red-Crowned Sea Crane to Ye Jingcheng's front.

Although his movements were swift, his words left Ye Jingcheng speechless.

He didn't answer, after all, he had to admit that when this Peachwood Demon bloomed, it was not much less beautiful than the Demon-Luring Grass.

This is not Dust-Hidden Island, but an island that Ye Jingcheng randomly found nearby. Apart from the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon and the Golden Falcon, Ye Jingcheng has no beasts to hunt Demon Beast.

I have to come out by myself.

And just then, the Peachwood were in full bloom, and the effect was surprisingly wonderful!

This was the tenth one he had killed.

After collecting the Demon Beast Core and Beast Soul, Ye Jingcheng said, "Let's go, prepare for the next island!"

However, at that moment, Ye Jingcheng suddenly had a Divine Soul.

"Go back!"

Ye Jingcheng took out the Blue Spirit Shuttle directly.

Heading towards Dust-Hidden Island.

The island they were hunting on wasn't far from Dust-Hidden Island. Once on the island, Ye Jingcheng went to the insect chamber he had prepared earlier.

The first to break through was the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle.

Moreover, the breakthrough for all Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle has come to an end.

The insect chamber was divided into two parts; the larger one belonged to the Hidden-Wing Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle, which was also Ye Jingcheng's primary concern.

Inside, the four Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle had grown to the size of an adult's palm.

Its enormous thunder rhinoceros horn was as thick as two thumbs, and its dark light was filled with arcs of lightning.

The hidden wings behind them also became longer and more slender, filled with silver light.

Of course, the most significant change is on the abdomens of the four Hidden-Wing Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle, where four distinct thunder patterns have appeared.

The four lightning patterns resemble a lightning arrow, a Lei Yun, a lightning serpent, and a lightning hammer.

Its aura had also reached the peak of the second tier.

Once his cultivation is completely stable, Ye Jingcheng might even be able to find a third-tier Thunder Attribute inner core, allowing the four Hidden-Wing Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle to break through and become third-tier Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle Great Demons.

"Squeak squeak squeak!" The four Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle emitted Divine Soul fluctuations and crawled all over Ye Jingcheng. They were covered in lightning, but the lightning would not shock them or Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng immediately picked them off one by one, and then Spirit Nurturing Pill and the Treasure Radiance.

He released four Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle outside and let them release lightning.

As the four Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle were released, they no longer formed a lightning net as before, but instead coalesced into the shape of lightning patterns on their abdomens: a lightning hammer, a lightning arrow, a lightning snake, and a Lei Yun.

Among them, the lightning arrow is the fastest, the lightning hammer is the most powerful, the Lei Yun is the widest, and the lightning serpent is the most agile.

The force struck the island, creating huge craters.

The lightning lingered in the giant crater for a long time.

This surprised and delighted Ye Jingcheng.

The Thunder Method unleashed by these four Hidden-Wing Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle was more powerful than ever before.

Moreover, because it is larger, the interval between releasing this Thunder Method is not as long as before, and it can be cast five or six times at a time.

Ye Jingcheng took out a lot of Spirit Beast meat and shared it with several Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle.

After the Hidden-Wing Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle were put away, Ye Jingcheng went to check on the remaining Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle.

These Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle have all reached the second-tier Foundation Establishment. After receiving the second-tier Advancement Pill, two of them advanced twice and barely reached the late second-tier stage, while most of them advanced once and are at the mid-second-tier stage.

There were even three that never successfully advanced even once, remaining at the early stage of the second tier.

Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng lost all interest in testing the waters and prepared the Beast-Luring Pill to accelerate the growth of these Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle.

Unlike the Five Poison Bee wasp, the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle can be bred in almost one or two years.

However, these Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle have been in Ye Jingcheng's hands for more than ten years.

By today's calculations, he is already sixty-one years old, having passed the age of sixty.

Ye Jingcheng hadn't tried to conceive before because he couldn't find the time.

But now he has plenty of time.

The breakthroughs of the Golden-Scaled Beast, the Golden Falcon, and the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon have clearly not shown any signs of improvement.

Ye Jingcheng then directly took out the Demon-Luring Grass.

There are two Secret Method: one is using an illusion array combined with the Heavenly Passion Pill, and the other is simply using the Demon-Luring Grass.

Ye Jingcheng's Five Poison Bee Bees used the first type.

However, the first type of Heavenly Passion Pill is only of the first rank and is not suitable for Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle. Moreover, he does not have the illusion array of Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle.

The second type is the Demon -Demon-Luring Grass, but it doesn't have two Demon-Luring Grass; it only has one leaf, which is about seven hundred years old. It will take another three hundred years to grow a second leaf.

Direct consumption is certainly not enough, but the Ye Family also has Pill Formula for the Beast-Luring Pill, which would be just right.

Since receiving the inheritance jade, Ye Jingcheng naturally possessed all of the Ye Family's Pill Formula.

They immediately began the refining process.

The Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle were still following behind Ye Jingcheng, because in the past, Ye Jingcheng would infuse them with Treasure Radiance and feed them spiritual flesh every time they broke through.

Today's procedure, however, is slightly off.

But upon seeing Ye Jingcheng refining pills in the distance, these Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle, like Five Poison Bee, began to nimbly circle in the air.

The process of refining the Beast-Luring Pill went very smoothly. As a third-level Alchemist, it took less than half a day for six Beast-Luring Pills to fall in front of Ye Jingcheng.

Seemingly feeling that the medicine was insufficient, Ye Jingcheng took out the Demon-Luring Grass again and began refining it once more.

This time the process was even better, and a total of seven were refined.

Ye Jingcheng glanced at his Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle, which contained six males and ten females.

Thirteen pills were sufficient. Ye Jingcheng summoned them and placed them back into the previous Stone Chamber. He infused each of them with enough Treasure Radiance to ensure they had enough combat power before feeding them the Beast-Luring Pill.

Upon ingesting the Beast-Luring Pill, the sixteen Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle immediately began releasing a peculiar scent...

After setting up the Array, Ye Jingcheng went outside.

The smell was too strong, so Ye Jingcheng didn't watch. It would be better to wait until the dust settled before coming back.

He took out the Roc Fish and also the newly acquired second-tier Water Attribute Demon Beast Core.

Give it directly to the Roc Fish.

This Roc Fish has considerable talent. Once it breaks through to the second tier, it can consume the second-tier Roc Fish Pill again to enhance its bloodline.

On the contrary, he now possesses quite a few second-tier Water Attribute Demon Beast Core.

After Roc Fish let out two soft "oohs" and fell asleep, Ye Jingcheng had some free time again.

He circulated the Four-Aspect Heavenly Origin Scripture and felt that his True Essence had improved a lot, so a smile appeared on his face.

Four days passed quickly. Inside the insect chamber, all sixteen Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle lay down, leaving behind more than 180 insect eggs.

Don't be fooled by the small number of eggs; the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle is known for its low egg count.

Unlike the Five Poison Bee, each queen of this insect can lay hundreds of eggs.

It's quite impressive if it can produce five or six seeds.

Ye Jingcheng's female Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle, on average, laid nearly twenty Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle eggs each.

These insect eggs were each the size of a fingernail, and they even had flashes of lightning inside.

As Ye Jingcheng approached, the Treasure Book within his body lit up one by one.

Most of the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle inside have one or two layers of aura.

However, the aura of one of the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle was four layers high!

This delighted Ye Jingcheng.

This means that one can become the insect king!

This was an unexpected stroke of luck for Ye Jingcheng, considering that he had tried to cultivate his Five Poison Bee several times without ever seeing more than three bursts of spiritual light.

This time, a Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle with four layers of spiritual light appeared.

In terms of potential, it is even stronger than those four Hidden-Wing Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle.

Of course, four Hidden-Wing Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle can also be used for fertilization.

But for Ye Jingcheng, it's clear that he's reached the Purple Mansion, and it would be better to wait until his potential is exhausted before nurturing him further.

Ye Jingcheng channeled his Treasure Radiance into the sixteen Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle, allowing them to recover from their injuries.

However, he could still tell that all sixteen Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle had weakened considerably.

It would probably take another ten years or so to induce fertility again.

Even the Treasure Book cannot be recovered.

Ye Jingcheng did not insist any further. After setting up the Array, he embarked on his demon-hunting journey once again!

Another year has passed.

On a huge island covered with Chinese fir trees.

Suddenly, a long cry rang out, and a huge Blackwood Eagle flew back from afar, about to land inside a massive nest.

But suddenly, ripples appeared in front of the nest.

The next moment, an Array appeared.

At the same time, a bluish light spread.

The Blackwood Eagle Demon was instantly frozen in place for a moment.

Then the Heavenly River Pearl and the Blazing Flame Fan arrived one after the other.

Blackwood Eagle's pupils widened as it struggled desperately, managing to dodge the Five-Colored Spirit Fire, but was pierced by the Heavenly River Pearl.

It should be noted that the Heavenly River Pearl was made of Profound Origin Heavy Water, and its weight was extremely terrifying. It passed through the body of the Blackwood Eagle and exploded directly, causing the Blackwood Eagle Great Demon to howl in pain.

But Ye Jingcheng once again unleashed a sword strike, severing the eagle's head.

Before long, a Four-Colored Cloud Deer appeared from the Array and quickly stepped forward to devour the Spirit Beast meat of the Blackwood Eagle.

As the essence of the Spirit Beast meat was absorbed, the inner core of the Blackwood Eagle was also picked up by the Four-Colored Cloud Deer. Finally, it looked back and saw a cultivator in a green robe nod in agreement.

He then raised his neck and swallowed the inner elixir.

At the same time, a stream of Wood Attribute spiritual light flowed.

"Finally, I'm about to break through!" Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he saw this!

For the past year, he has been searching for Wood Attribute Demon Beast and Wood Attribute spirit medicine for the Four-Colored Cloud Deer to absorb and consume.

Now, I'm finally about to break through to the third tier.

Ye Jingcheng collected the remaining corpses of the Blackwood Eagle, along with the Four-Colored Cloud Deer that was about to break through, and then went to the top of the tree to collect a thousand-year-old Blackwood Ganoderma next to the lair.

After dismantling the Array, he released the Blue Spirit Shuttle and flew towards the other islands.

In the world of cultivation, time flies by, and two years have passed once again. On Dust-Hidden Island, Ye Jingcheng awoke from his Ye Jingcheng and felt a terrifying surge of earth-elemental True Essence emanating from the Beast-Link Mark, rushing towards him.

His face instantly lit up with joy.

This clearly indicates that the Golden-Scaled Beast has broken through and successfully advanced.

He headed towards where the Golden-Scaled Beast had landed.

But the Golden-Scaled Beast was the first to rush out of the Array and run out.

Its body was more agile, and its huge roar was like that of a bull, extremely powerful.

At this moment, its entire body was covered in golden scales, which were finer than before, like fish scales, and covered with golden barbs.

The two forefeet are thicker and covered with thick Spirit Patterns.

The most significant change is that it has two horns, each about an inch long, on its head.

His eyes shone with golden light.

The roar was astonishing.

"Roar, Great Jade Serpent!"

"Roar, Big Red Fox!"

"Roar! Big Yellow Bird!"

The Golden-Scaled Beast seemed to be holding back its anger.

It called to the other three Spirit Beasts, but not to its master.

His arrogant demeanor made Ye Jingcheng think that a king had returned!

However, the aura of the Golden-Scaled Beast did not cross the early stage of the Purple Mansion and reach the middle Purple Mansion.

But this was not unexpected for Ye Jingcheng, after all, there is a gap between the Purple Mansion mid-stage and early-stage Purple Mansion realms.

Even if the Golden-Scaled Beast has a breathing technique!

"Master!" The Golden-Scaled Beast looked around for a long time before noticing Ye Jingcheng.

You'd better come over obediently.

It has come this far, but it is still looking for the Crimson Flame Fox!

"Stop looking, you're no match for the Crimson Flame Fox right now!" Ye Jingcheng said irritably.

"Roar!" The Golden-Scaled Beast was immediately filled with Qi Ingestion!

It turned its head away, the meaning of which was extremely clear!
