Earth-Scale Hall, Spirit Fruit Ripens (Combined Chapter; Thanks to Reckless Pure Painter for the 500-Coin Tip)

Inside the Grotto-Heaven, it was early spring, and all kinds of spiritual flowers and trees were in bloom.

Snow-white pear blossoms, pink peach blossoms, and pale white camellias all burst into bloom at this moment.

Because of the spiritual light, each spiritual flower bloomed gracefully, making the entire Grotto-Heaven even more magnificent and colorful.

Besides the spiritual flowers, the sky was also filled with lingering crimson clouds, and colorful spiritual rain would occasionally fall.

In the Linghu Lake, the Jade Lotus leaves are lush and green, and Black Ganoderma Fish, Red-Node Fish and Star-Eating Fish swim among them.

Each piece of Moon Spirit Clam, like a star at the bottom of the lake, shines with light.

Further away, Golden Light Bamboo shimmered with golden light, accompanied by various Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle and Five Poison Bee flying about, which made Ye Jingcheng momentarily stunned.

Unbeknownst to him, his Grotto-Heaven had already transformed into a paradise on earth.

A heartfelt joy naturally arose within me.

Three years of seclusion was naturally tedious and even somewhat torturous for Ye Jingcheng; he never liked that kind of quiet seclusion.

His body still had some elixir poison accumulated. After all, besides the help from the Spirit Beast Communion, he had also taken a lot of spirit pills to speed up his cultivation.

But at this moment, with the magnificent scene before him and the joy of breakthrough, the gloom in Ye Jingcheng's heart was swept away.

If cultivating immortality can achieve this, what more could one ask for?

"Roar!" While Ye Jingcheng continued to admire the Grotto-Heaven, the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon was somewhat unwilling.

It opened its mouth wide, revealing its enormous throat, and thick saliva poured into its massive mouth, overflowing like a spring.

Even when Ye Jingcheng was in seclusion, it could still eat Flesh Ganoderma fungus and spirit fish.

But the quantity is still insufficient.

Apart from the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon, the Crimson Flame Fox were all chirping loudly.

It had broken through to the late stage of the third tier and had long wanted to show off in front of Ye Jingcheng.

The Golden-Scaled Beast wasn't heading towards Ye Jingcheng; it was heading towards the Crimson Flame Fox and the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon!

Its eyes were full of ferocity. Now, three years later, it had naturally broken through to the late stage of the third tier.

Even with its physical body having become so much stronger, it still wanted to clash with the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon!

He wanted revenge for what happened before.

Golden Falcon's eyes showed a mixture of disappointment and longing.

It used to be the Spirit Beast with the highest cultivation level, but now it has the lowest cultivation level. It has not yet broken through to the late stage of the third tier, and it is even still some distance from the peak of the mid-stage of the third tier.

Looking at Ye Jingcheng, it chirped loudly, hoping that Ye Jingcheng could give it some elixirs.

To Ye Jingcheng's surprise, the Five-Colored Cloud Deer simply let out two "yoyos" and called out to its master before continuing to spread its cloud wings and fly among the spirit medicine field and flowers.

It drinks in all kinds of rain and dew, its low humming rising and then soaring powerfully, its eyes filled with the light of joy.

Although it hasn't broken through, it seems extremely satisfied as long as there are many spiritual trees and flowers here.

It will only land in front of Ye Jingcheng if he beckons to it.

Besides these five Spirit Beasts, a swarm of Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle, led by the Insect King and the Hidden-Wing Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle, also flew over in droves.

They have grown larger, some even breaking through to the mid-stage of the second tier. Of course, the insect king has changed the most, now reaching the late-stage of the second tier.

Of course, this second-tier Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle King had consumed two advancement pills.

Further away were a group of Wood Demon, White-Brow Green Wolf, and Roc Fish.

The White-Brow Green Wolf's cultivation level has reached the peak of the second tier, and it can break through at any time by consuming the third-tier White-Brow Pill.

The Flesh Ganoderma Demon, the Sunflower Wood Demon, and even the Star Pear Tree wood spirit all became much more intelligent.

Of course, there are also those who haven't left the pass, such as the Peachwood Demon and the Grotto-Heaven Stone Spirit.

At this moment, the Peachwood Demon was radiating spiritual light, and some of its aura had begun to transform towards the third rank. Ye Jingcheng estimated that it would be able to break through in less than half a year.

As for Stone Spirit, Ye Jingcheng could tell from the fact that the Grotto-Heaven had expanded considerably that its progress was also quite fast, and it was estimated that it would be completed in the next year or two.

What Ye Jingcheng needs to do now is to improve his Spirit Vein.

We don't want the Grotto-Heaven to become even larger, only to find that the Spirit Vein are no longer sufficient.

After observing all the Spirit Beast, Ye Jingcheng fed them spirit pills and Treasure Radiance one by one.

Because of his three-year seclusion, Ye Jingcheng spared no expense this time, including the Spirit Beast's flesh, spirit Treasure Radiance.

The Jade-Scale Flood Dragon was extremely satisfied with its meal.

However, even though it had eaten its fill and become bloated, its speed in the air became even more terrifying, and its claws were also slashing in the air. Combined with its breathing technique, Ye Jingcheng even felt that his vision could not keep up with the speed of the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon.

Moreover, as the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon fell into the Spirit Lake, Ye Jingcheng also discovered that the Dragon Whisker Fruit in the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon's cave abode had finally borne fruit!

However, instead of the expected three flowers, it only produced two!

These two spiritual fruits still looked somewhat unripe, but they were already extremely round.

Its size is not much different from that of a mature spiritual fruit.

Ye Jingcheng estimated that the Dragon Whisker Fruit might not even need a year to fully ripen.

This is also good news for Ye Jingcheng, as it means that he can break through to the peak of the Purple Mansion and may even be able to rely on the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon!

No wonder the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon entered the Spirit Lake as soon as it finished swallowing the medicine, without stopping outside for even a moment.

It merely glanced at the Golden-Scaled Beast's provocation and then stopped staring at it.

That expression seemed to say, "I'll come see you again after I finish eating the fruit."

This made the Golden-Scaled Beast even angrier.

Its claws began to throb, and the next moment it spat out a huge Earth-Scale Seal.

Ye Jingcheng didn't stop them for the first time; he also wanted to see the progress of the Golden-Scaled Beast and the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon.

What surprised it was that the Golden-Scaled Beast had previously been able to release the Earth-Scale Seal with great ease.

This time, however, it seemed to be somewhat difficult.

But soon it discovered that this Earth-Scale Seal was unusual, for a palace was clearly carved on it.

As the palace flew into space, it grew larger and larger, and a yellowish-brown light permeated the air, clearly resembling the gravity light of the Heavenly Gang Body-Tempering Grand Formation!

Finally, it transformed into a palace seal radiating yellow light.

It marched towards suppressing the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon!

This scene also took Ye Jingcheng by surprise.

This Secret Method is clearly somewhat similar to his Earth Spirit Secret Method: Qilin Mysterious Earth - True Palace!

He hadn't expected that the Golden-Scaled Beast would already have learned it before he could even use it.

Just when Ye Jingcheng thought that Jade-Scale Flood Dragon might crash and burn.

Suddenly, the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon emitted a large amount of white, cold light.

At this moment, it was not a water dragon, but a cold light, carrying a terrifying chilling poison, that swept away the Golden-Scaled Beast's Earth-Scale Palace.

The Jade-Scale Flood Dragon seemed truly enraged, for it suddenly slashed its claws through the air.

The surging Deadly Poison cold storm transformed into a giant dragon claw, smashing towards the Golden-Scaled Beast!

Upon seeing this, the Golden-Scaled Beast's pupils shrank, and it clapped its claws together, causing countless Golden Light Mountain-Splitting Cloud Shield to appear.

However, no matter how many shields there were, they were all shattered by this claw, and the Golden-Scaled Beast's body was sent flying.

The golden spirit armor shattered layer by layer, like porcelain!

Clearly, the Golden-Scaled Beast had been defeated once again.

Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng quickly waved his hand.

The two were brought to a stop; although it was only a simple exchange of blows, the difference in skill level was extremely obvious.

The Jade-Scale Flood Dragon is, after all, a true dragon.

Moreover, Jade-Scale Flood Dragon's talent is top-notch in Ye Jingcheng, and it can advance into a true Jade Qilin Dragon True Spirit.

In addition, Jade-Scale Flood Dragon broke through even earlier.

The Golden-Scaled Beast also appeared unusually dejected after being struck by that claw.

It growled softly, and without even glancing at Ye Jingcheng, it silently and slowly made its way towards the Heavenly Gang Body Forging Mountain.

It needs to work harder!

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng took out two Earth Attribute spirit pills and infused the Golden-Scaled Beast with another page of Treasure Radiance, both as a healing and a reward.

"Keep up the good work! If you can be the first to break through to the peak of the third tier, you'll also be the first to obtain the Fourth Stage Advancement Pill!" Ye Jingcheng said directly.

For the Golden-Scaled Beast, encouragement and Advancement Pill are definitely its best motivation.

This caused the Golden-Scaled Beast to raise its head and bare its teeth at the Five-Colored Cloud Deer.

"Six!"

"Six!"

"Spirit-Transforming Pill first!" Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but feel a little helpless and amused.

The elixir is quite potent. If the Golden-Scaled Beast has to withstand the gravity, Spirit-Transforming Pill, and fight back, it will undoubtedly suffer damage to its meridians.

After the Golden-Scaled Beast finished reading, Ye Jingcheng looked at the Crimson Flame Fox.

The Crimson Flame Fox couldn't wait to show off its abilities.

Unlike the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon and the Golden-Scaled Beast, it had not comprehended any new Secret Method; its eyes had simply changed from pale blue to crimson and then turned somewhat purplish.

As it turned purple, the purple flames were also seen transforming into Azure Sun Flame!

Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng was startled and instinctively turned his head away.

If the Crimson Flame Fox could transform the Purple Fire Heart Flame into the Azure Sun Flame, that would be truly terrifying.

The Azure Sun Flame is domineering, and it is immortal and indestructible.

It works first on the eyes.

"Chirp!" The purple and green light of the Crimson Flame Fox dissipated, turning back into blue light. Its body shrank, and then it jumped into Ye Jingcheng's arms.

He began to enjoy the elixir and Treasure Radiance given to him by Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng, through the other party's Soul Pact, also learned that this Azure Sun Flame transformed into the Azure Yang Flame was not the true Azure Sun Flame, but rather a Spirit Flame somewhere between the Azure Sun Flame and the Purple Fire Heart Flame.

It's not immortal, but it's certainly much harder to extinguish than the Purple Fire Heart Flame.

Moreover, the Crimson Flame Fox expends a considerable amount of energy to use this technique of turning purple fire into blue.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but praise the Crimson Flame Fox.

If this Secret Method were to fully mature, its power would truly be terrifying.

After feeding all the Spirit Beast Spirit Insect, Ye Jingcheng also looked at Star Seven, the Wood Demon.

"Master!" The spirit form it had transformed into was a barefoot child, who was somewhat at a loss when he saw Ye Jingcheng come out.

But clearly, it is constantly receiving hints from other Star Pear Tree Fairies.

Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng was speechless.

The Star Pear Tree spirit was only instinctively drawn to him, but because it had never met Ye Jingcheng before, it felt both strange and familiar.

Ye Jingcheng summoned it to his side, infused the Star Seven Wood Demon with Treasure Radiance, and then gave it some Spirit-Transforming Pill.

"Thank you, Master!" Star Seven's eyes were wide open, full of curiosity.

It felt the warm glow of the Treasure Radiance, so it quickly went to look at the Flesh Ganoderma.

It wants Flesh Ganoderma too.

The Flesh Ganoderma was extremely timid. Although it was dull-witted, it knew that in the Grotto-Heaven, it would only become food for other Spirit Beast.

That's why it's so timid and dull, and only Star Seven will sit on its umbrella, just wiggling its bare feet instead of biting off most of its flesh.

"Flesh Ganoderma, come too!" Ye Jingcheng said.

He infused the Flesh Ganoderma with some Treasure Radiance and began planning his next cultivation path.

First, he needs to refine second-tier Flesh Ganoderma Pill, second-tier Sunflower Wood Formulas, second-tier Peacock Stone Formula, second-tier Black Sand Pill, second-tier Frost Centipede Pill, and first-tier Dream-Swallowing Pill.

Once the Sunflower Wood Demon has completed its advancement, it can be placed in the Lineage's Spirit Mountain and nurtured by the Lineage. The same applies to the second-tier Black Sand Ant and the second-tier Frost Centipede.

It's time for Ye Jingcheng to let go of these slightly inferior Spirit Beast Spirit Insect, and Wood Demon.

At the same time, he needs to refine the third-tier White-Brow Pill and Roc Fish Pill to allow the White-Brow Green Wolf and Roc Fish to advance their bloodlines three times.

As a result, he had quite a few things to do next.

After all, he still needs to comprehend the other four spiritual Secret Method.

At the same time, he also has several top-grade third-tier magic Law Treasure that need to be refined.

The first one is the Five Elements Heavenly Pearl left behind by the Five Elements True Lord.

This contains five top-grade Law Technique Secret Method; no cultivation is required, simply by summoning the Heavenly Pearl.

He also possesses two top-grade third-tier magic Law Treasure, the Dark Mystic Pearl Wind Essence Bottle, which he can refine and use.

Once he refines these, his strength, while not invincible below the Golden Core level, will at least make Ye Jingcheng less wary of other Purple Mansion cultivators.

Even if he is no match for them, he can still kill them by using so many Purple Mansion Spirit Beast Wood Demon.

"Master, these are the star pears, sunflower seeds, and some mature spirit medicine fruits from these years!" At this moment, Star One stepped forward and spoke.

Jade boxes appeared in its hands.

These jade boxes contain the spiritual fruits spirit medicine that I haven't had time to pick in the past three years.

There are fifteen star Star Pear Trees, and two of them have ripened.

The sunflower Wood Demon also produced thirty-five sunflower seeds, more than it had seen before.

Moreover, each one is the size of a fingernail, with a dark, golden sheen and fire-like patterns on its surface.

Ye Jingcheng accepted all the jade boxes.

I also infused some Treasure Radiance into several Star Pear Tree Demons!

In addition, several cultivated wood cores were also awarded.

Although it's not as effective as a magic pill, it's still helpful to these Wood Demons.

Moreover, they seemed to have heeded Ye Jingcheng's previous words and had become extremely motivated once again.

"Master, it's the Spiritual Qi of the Grotto-Heaven..." Star One, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"I'll handle this!" Ye Jingcheng nodded.

He was also very anxious about the Spirit Vein.

The Spirit Vein within the Grotto-Heaven have now reached the level of a high-grade third rank. Combined with the mid-grade third-rank Spirit Vein of Soaring Cloud Peak, they are actually not much worse than a top-grade third-rank Spirit Vein.

But you should know that there are too many Purple Mansion cultivators here now.

There are many who can use breathing techniques, and so many third-tier Wood Demon.

And various Spirit Plant.

That makes things a bit tight.

At the same time, because the Grotto-Heaven Stone Spirit is in seclusion, the Grotto-Heaven's extraction of Spiritual Qi from the outside world is not as great.

Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng also decided to go to the Cultivation World of the Zhao Kingdom or Chu Kingdom to exchange for a better third-order Spirit Gathering Formation and spirit-attracting Spirit Stone.

Otherwise, the Spiritual Qi would truly be insufficient.
