Purple Ox Flower, Black Sand Ants

The Heavenly Poison Marsh is shrouded in Dark Cloud, where the sun rarely shines.

The air is filled with the Insect Chirp; the arrival of summer is also the peak season for Insect Chirp.

At this moment, the three cultivators landed outside the poisonous miasma.

They took out the Jade Slip, compared them with each other, and then nodded.

These three were none other than Ye Jingcheng Ye Jingcheng group, who had joined forces with Ye Jingyu, Ye Haihe, Ye Haisheng.

However, apart from Ye Xuefan Ye Jingcheng, and Ye Haicheng were outside, the rest of them were in the Turtle Ancestor's Grotto-Heaven.

Although the Heavenly Poison Marsh has no clear ownership, many disciples of the Green River Sect usually come here to collect Spirit Insect or some poisonous spirit medicine.

Most of these cultivators were in twos and threes; groups of seven or eight, or even more than ten, were rare.

When multiple people or an entire Lineage come to search for treasure, it undoubtedly means that they already have a target for the treasure, making them extremely easy targets for spying and even stalking.

Most people who come to the swamp to search for treasure are certainly bold, and once they see an opportunity, they are very likely to make a move.

Despite the Ye Family's impressive lineup this time, they are not afraid of this situation.

But since all three of them are currently pretending to be Foundation Establishment cultivators, it would be better to avoid any unnecessary complications.

"As expected of the Heavenly Poison Marsh, the miasma in the air has already formed a dark haze. Even at the peak of summer temperature, the miasma will not dissipate until this haze dissipates!" Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but sigh at this moment.

Unlike Ye Haicheng and Ye Xuefan, this was his first time visiting the Heavenly Poison Marsh.

Looking up at the sky, the thick Dark Cloud completely blocked out the blazing sun.

It should be noted that this is the summer solstice, and outside the Heavenly Poison Marsh, the sun is shining brightly and the sky is clear!

Even at its weakest point, as everyone said, the Heavenly Poison Marsh was still filled with poisonous miasma, making visibility extremely low.

Moreover, even ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators would need to cast a protective protective shield to enter this miasma.

Without special antidotes, cultivators at the Qi Refining stage would likely find it difficult to move an inch inside. Even Body Cultivator at the late Qi Refining stage might not be able to withstand it.

At the same time, Divine Sense is severely restricted inside.

Outside the miasma, Ye Jingcheng 'Divine Sense could cover thousands of feet, but inside the miasma, his Divine Sense could only cover a radius of ten feet, which was more than ten times less than outside.

"This poisonous miasma is no ordinary poisonous miasma; there should be yin meridians below!" Ye Xuefan commented.

After saying that, he took out a third-tier Bright Clear Pill that he had prepared in advance. This pill was specifically effective against poisonous miasma.

As long as the pill is held in their mouths, the three of them will be unafraid even by the densest miasma in the very center.

After the three finished distributing the pills, Ye Xuefan looked at Ye Jingcheng again:

"Jingcheng, bring out your Five Poison Bee too. We've already tried the Black-Armored Scorpion, but it's not very suitable here!" Ye Xuefan and Ye Haicheng had clearly been here many times, and had even borrowed Ye Xueliang and Ye Xuefu's Black-Armored Scorpion.

However, it is clear that not all poisonous insects can adapt to the toxic miasma environment here.

To be on the safe side and secure their exclusive control of the third-tier secret realm, the Ye Family must also maintain surveillance, making the monitoring of poisonous insects essential.

Without hesitation, Ye Jingcheng pressed his hand forward, and seventy or eighty Five Poison Bee flew out from the Spirit Beast pouch.

These Five Poison Bee are now much larger than before, even Ye Haicheng couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

Because Ye Jingcheng hadn't raised such large animals before.

In fact, Ye Jingcheng had eliminated many batches of Five Poison Bee. The remaining Five Poison Bee were all extremely talented, and Ye Jingcheng had carefully nurtured them.

Many of them had reached the second tier, and were extremely large.

There was also a Six-Color Bee among them, but for Ye Jingcheng, even Six-Color Bee was no longer worth raising.

As several poisonous bees entered the poisonous miasma, they began to buzz.

They were even more active and excited than before.

Ye Jingcheng could also feel the joyful emotions emanating from the Five Poison Bee.

"Grandpa, Fourth Uncle, the Five Poison Bee are fine, and these poisonous miasmas seem to even help with the transformation of their Five Poison Bee!" Ye Jingcheng transmitted his voice.

Ye Xuefan and Ye Haicheng nodded in agreement.

"Go in!"

The three followed the route they had agreed upon beforehand, and Ye Xuefan even stomped his foot as he walked.

Ye Jingcheng sensed a layer of spiritual light and entered the underground.

But soon, he could no longer sense anything.

He knew that Ye Xuefan had cast Array.

That's precisely why he was even more surprised. He was currently at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion, but his Divine Sense was at the level of the late-stage Purple Mansion.

Even if Ye Xuefan at the late stage of the Purple Mansion, under normal circumstances, he wouldn't be unable to sense it like this.

This can only mean one thing: Ye Xuefan's Array formations may be even stronger than he imagined.

The three continued walking slowly.

Upon entering the poisonous swamp, the three became extremely cautious.

Try to choose the firmer terrain to advance.

At the same time, it also keeps its weight extremely light, almost as if it were walking on water.

After all, this is a swamp.

Even if there is vegetation, you might still sink in if you step on it too hard.

The rules that apply to the outside world may not necessarily apply here.

Moreover, it is highly likely that Demon Beast and insects exist beneath the swamp.

Although there aren't many third-tier demons here, it's not like there aren't any.

Furthermore, since they are now Foundation Establishment cultivators, they should conceal their identities. Apart from the miasma, there are bound to be other people around, and the Ye Family members are unwilling to expose themselves.

Naturally, one must be more careful.

"Grandpa, it looks like there are Purple Ox Flower here!" Ye Jingcheng suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

He used the Five Poison Bee to clear the way, but unexpectedly, the Five Poison Bee brought exciting news about the poisonous flower.

It is summer now, and there are many flowering spirit medicine.

In the Heavenly Poison Marsh, most of these spiritual flowers are poisonous.

The message from the Five Poison Bee was just like that from the Purple Ox Flower.

This spiritual flower is the main ingredient for refining the Purple Illusion Pill, and it is also a third-tier spirit medicine.

This is extremely rare, even in the outside world.

This Purple Illusion Pill is a third-tier elixir for dispelling illusions.

Although the Purple Illusion Pill isn't particularly valuable, it is still a third-tier spiritual pill and can dispel illusions, which might have a miraculous effect in certain crucial moments.

"No rush, we can go look for it!" Ye Xuefan nodded.

Firstly, they are now familiar with the Heavenly Poison Marsh, which is crucial for their upcoming exploration. Secondly, although it is the summer solstice, the miasma is not yet at its weakest.

The second method is to release Five Poison Bee into the swamp, creating a poisonous bee sphere of influence for the Ye Family.

After all, the range of Divine Sense is limited here. If a large number of Five Poison Bee are killed, powerful figures may arrive.

At this point, the Ye Family must be prepared.

The group walked towards a small, dark lake not far away.

Ye Jingcheng didn't know if the lake water was actually black, but given the miasma, it could certainly be called a black lake.

Beside the lake, a Five Poison Bee was hovering over a cluster of dark purple spiritual flowers.

This is the Purple Ox Flower, its flower shape resembling a trumpet, but also somewhat curved, like the horns of a water buffalo.

"Pfft!"

At that very moment, a series of whooshing sounds rang out, and Ye Jingcheng unleashed several Golden Sword Art.

The sound of something cutting through the air was instantly silenced.

As the Golden Sword Art landed, three Black Poison Frog, each about an inch long, appeared.

This Black Poison Frog is covered in Deadly Poison venom; even Foundation Establishment cultivators would be in considerable trouble if they got too close.

However, the Black Poison Frog's physical body was not very strong. After Ye Jingcheng killed it, he put all the venom in its body into a jade bottle.

The venom of this Black Poison Frog is also quite valuable in the outside world.

However, frog eggs are unnecessary, since the outside environment lacks the Deadly Poison conditions found here, and Black Poison Frog cannot survive in such conditions.

Ye Jingcheng then collected all the remaining Purple Ox Flower.

The medicinal properties of the Purple Ox Flower are all concentrated in its petals, and it also requires Deadly Poison environment to grow. Ye Jingcheng could not provide such an environment, nor did he have any plans to transplant it.

After collecting Purple Ox Flower, they continued walking into the distance.

In this way, Ye Jingcheng and his group found quite a few more poisonous flowers, including first-tier, second-tier, and third-tier ones.

Moreover, the further inside you go, the greater the probability of encountering a Tier 3 poisonous flower.

At the same time, the three of them also began to encounter some second-tier poisonous insects, and on one occasion, Ye Jingcheng even saw a third-tier Blackwater Scorpion.

Ye Jingcheng did not kill the great Blackwater Scorpion demon.

Although he didn't need to expend much strength to kill the third-tier Blackwater Scorpion Demon.

However, the fluctuations in the war are easily noticed.

Divine Sense and eyesight are not applicable here, but sound has little effect.

For the Ye Family at present, their priority is simply to enter the Pill Wasteland Secret Realm safely.

Two days passed in this way, and the three members of the Ye Family had each walked around the swamp.

The three not only arranged the Five Poison Bee, but also roughly investigated how many cultivators were currently in the Heavenly Poison Marsh.

The area of Heavenly Poison Marsh is not small; Ye Jingcheng estimates it is at least as large as the original territory of the Ye Family.

Even if a cultivator at the Purple Mansion were to fly at full speed, it would probably take several hours.

This is actually good news for the Ye Family; the larger the secret realm, the less likely it is to be exposed.

"The Black Jade Stele should be just ahead!" Ye Jingcheng suddenly said at that moment.

A dozen or so feet in front of them, they could vaguely see a small hill, and a dark stone tablet resting on the hill.

However, all of this seemed extremely ordinary, just like an ordinary hill and an ordinary black stele.

But at this moment, a key in Ye Jingcheng's hand began to emit a faint light.

"Be careful. Pill Wasteland used to raise Black Sand Ant. If this place is truly the Pill Wasteland Secret Realm, there will definitely be traces of Black Sand Ant!" Ye Xuefan suddenly whispered a reminder.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng was somewhat surprised, as he had naturally heard of Black Sand Ant.

Despite its name, "Black Sand Ant," these ants can actually be considered mist ants.

It was undoubtedly black fog.

Extremely difficult to distinguish, they can expel black poisonous mist that can erode spiritual light.

Black Sand Ant can even invade a cultivator's body and kill the cultivator or any living being from the inside.

The best way to deal with these Black Sand Ant is to use a wind-attribute Secret Method to dispel the black mist, followed by Fire Attribute Secret Method to burn the Black Sand Ant to death.

Now that the Black Sand Ant are gathered in the miasma, they are even harder to detect.

Especially now that the range of Divine Sense is greatly limited.

Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng immediately released the White-Brow Green Wolf.

Upon seeing the wind-attribute White-Brow Green Wolf, Ye Xuefan and Ye Haicheng raised their eyebrows again.

Clearly, they were unaware that Ye Jingcheng had acquired another Wind Wolf, one that bore a striking resemblance to the Green Wind Demon King of the Green Wind Wolf Plain.

"This is..."

"I obtained it fortuitous opportunity chance, but I don't know if it's a descendant of the Azure Wind Wolf King!" Ye Jingcheng didn't intend to hide it, but he really didn't know about the descendant.

After all, this White-Brow Green Wolf was captured by the Nine Rivers Master.

"Don't capture the Black Sand Ant yet, just drive them away!" Ye Xuefan had clearly noticed something, and Ye Jingcheng now intended to capture some.

His Divine Sense was not weak, and he had already detected that some tiny insects had filled the air.

These insects move incredibly fast within the poisonous fog!

"Many people know that Black Sand Ant exist."

"Moreover, Black Sand Ant have quite a few flaws!"

Ye Xuefan added.

He was clearly worried that the disappearance of the Black Sand Ant would affect the other cultivators in the swamp.

Of course, defects are also a factor.

However, for Ye Jingcheng, he discovered several Black Sand Ant with three layers of spiritual light.

That's when I started thinking about it.

But Ye Xuefan said that, Ye Jingcheng stopped insisting.

He made the Wind Wolf touch the void.

Instantly, like shallow ripples forming on the surface of a lake, the ripples spread outwards.

This spreading force was none other than the Azure Wind.

The Black Sand Ant were blown away from the vicinity of the three people, and even the miasma dissipated somewhat.

This scene surprised the group even more, because the White-Brow Green Wolf hadn't made much of a commotion at this moment; it had only used its claws to extend forward, yet it possessed such power.

This also demonstrates the White-Brow Green Wolf's control over wind-attribute spiritual power.

Without delay, the three of them went up the hill and stood in front of the stone tablet after Ye Xuefan set up an Array.

As the key began to flash, it miraculously fell towards the stone tablet.

Finally, they merged into one, and suddenly a hidden cave appeared in front of the hill.

The cave seemed to have appeared out of thin air.

"Interesting. Someone actually used a natural Array. This Array must have reached the Fifth Stage level!" Ye Xuefan murmured to himself. As Array, he had clearly discovered something.

No wonder this Pill Wasteland Secret Realm has never been found.

After all, Nascent Soul Cultivator wouldn't come to this Heavenly Poison Marsh, and Golden Core cultivators probably wouldn't even be able to find it without the key.

Three people and a wolf entered.

With each step they took, the path behind them would immediately disappear.

At this moment, all three were extremely surprised, because their Divine Sense could not see anything, as if they were walking on a staircase in the void, which was extremely mysterious.

It took a full fifteen minutes to reach the depths of the cave, where there was a stone tablet exactly the same as the one outside.

A key was placed on the stone tablet.

Ye Jingcheng took the key, and the path behind them completely disappeared.

At the same time, the layout of the hall changed again, and a secret portal appeared on the ceiling.

Spiritual Qi constantly emanated from within this door.

"No need to keep anyone here, no one can follow us into this Fifth Stage Array!" Ye Xuefan said.

Neither of them was very confident about the third-tier secret realm, since the highest level a third-tier secret realm cultivator could reach was the Purple Mansion realm. Although Ye Xuefan was at the late Purple Mansion stage, the Ye Family only had Ye Haicheng and Ye Jingcheng at the mid-Purple Mansion stage.

But they didn't yet know how many third-tier Wood Demon were inside.
