Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Treasure-Bringing Child?
The night was cool like water, and the dazzling starlit sky was magnificent, resembling an exquisite painting hanging down from the sky.
Inside the valley, a gentle breeze caressed, and Ye Jingcheng leaned against the courtyard wall, opening his eyes.
A hint of joy appeared on his face, as he felt the wood phase spiritual energy within him had once again grown stronger.
Now he was only missing the wood-phase spirit beast for beast communication, so usually, his wood phase spiritual energy was imperceptible, but near this Spirit Ascension Garden, in just half a day, there were already gains.
This showed the richness of the wood-phase spiritual energy in the spirit vein.
In the Cultivation Realm, the spiritual energy of a spirit vein isn’t constant; it can decrease or increase, and the inclination of its spiritual energy also varies.
In places with volcanoes, the fire attribute spiritual energy is rich, while in areas with lakes and oceans, the water attribute spiritual energy is abundant.
And the spirit vein of this Cloud Valley apparently leans more towards the wood phase.
Only areas like this are better suited for establishing a Spirit Medicine Garden.
While places with balanced Five Elements spiritual energy are more fitting for being clan mountains or the location of sect headquarters.
Of course, cultivators often use Spirit Storage Arrays and a large number of Spirit Stones to cultivate.
For example, the Taiyi Sect’s Taiyi Four Peaks, where the spirit veins of the four peaks are all cultivated, and on each Spirit Peak, there are also some independent mountaintops with independent spirit veins.
Moreover, it’s said that once one becomes a Purple Mansion Cultivator, one can choose a Spirit Mountain in the Taiyi Peak Group where the Taiyi Sect is located and establish a cave dwelling.
These Spirit Mountains also have spirit veins with their own inclinations.
This is also why many cultivators are eager to join sects.
Ye Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief and took out a small handful of Spirit Tea from his Storage Bag, placing it in a dedicated Zisha Clay Bottle, slowly heating and shaking it.
As tea mist rose gracefully, Ye Jingcheng’s nose was enveloped with a fresh fragrance.
With a sip down his throat, he immediately felt unspeakable comfort and ease throughout his body.
These past two months, because of practicing the Celestial Soul Technique and worrying about ambushes, he had been constantly on edge.
It was rare to have time to drink Spirit Tea and admire the starry night over the valley, though the absence of Qing Yue in the sky slightly diminished the mood.
It lacked the feeling of standing with two shadows under the moonlight.
After drinking the Spirit Tea for a while, Ye Jingcheng took out three more Storage Bags, feeling reinvigorated.
If there’s a moment of greatest happiness, it is now when opening Storage Bags, which fascinates him deeply.
In this regard, many Tribulation Cultivators feel the same.
The first one he opened was Li Yufu’s Storage Bag, but upon seeing its contents, Ye Jingcheng’s expression darkened slightly.
As expected, there wasn’t anything good inside.
Just two Tier Two Lower-grade Spiritual Artifacts, two Tier One Top-Grade Spiritual Artifacts, along with three unused Spirit Talismans, and a bottle of Healing Pills, a bottle of Spirit Recovery Pill.
Among the two Tier Two Lower-grade Spiritual Artifacts, one was a Flying Sword Spiritual Artifact, a mundane standard artifact, not even as good as the Tier Two Lower-grade Blood Saber he previously obtained.
However, the remaining one was a rare Cyan Ring Spiritual Artifact.
The Cyan Ring was covered with a lot of Cyan Cloud Spirit Patterns, Ye Jingcheng had seen Li Yufu use it, and it was somewhat similar to his previous Heaven-Trapping Bell.
It was a binding spiritual artifact and extremely fast, so Ye Jingcheng decided to keep it.
"I’ll temporarily call you Cyan Cloud Ring!" Ye Jingcheng murmured to himself.
As for the remaining treasures from Li Yufu, he shook his head and stored them all in his own Storage Jade Bracelet.
He then continued to examine Li Muhe’s Storage Bag, and Li Muhe indeed lived up to being at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment; the size of the Storage Bag was as large as ten squares, almost comparable to Ye Jingcheng’s Storage Jade Bracelet.
But upon a closer look, it was still frighteningly empty.
Inside were also two Tier Two Spiritual Artifacts, four Tier One Top-Grade Spiritual Artifacts, one Four-legged Pill Furnace, and two sets of Array Discs, as for Spirit Pills, they were the same as Li Yufu’s, but all Spirit Talismans were used up.
These two Tier Two Spiritual Artifacts aroused Ye Jingcheng’s interest, the first one being a Celestial Wind Bag, which could release poisonous wind, absorb poisonous fog, and even enclose some cultivators inside, corroding them into poisonous water.
For Ye Jingcheng, who cultivated Poison Flowers, this Celestial Wind Bag was a valuable object.
Additionally, there was a Tier Two Golden-faced Silver Ring Saber.
This saber was bold and versatile, capable of being manipulated remotely.
Its power was immense, and it was precisely during the battle with the Lizard Lord and the Golden Scale Beast that they suffered losses from this Golden-faced Silver Ring Saber!
Naturally, Ye Jingcheng took it out independently, and with the Tier Two Middle-grade Golden-faced Silver Ring Saber in hand, he abandoned the Tier Two Lower-grade Blood Saber.
Planning to sell it to his family.
After all, with the family becoming a Purple Mansion Clan, there were more Foundation Establishment Cultivators appearing, and having more Tier Two Spiritual Artifacts would prevent the kind of embarrassment he experienced during his breakthrough.
Ye Jingcheng continued to examine the Tier Two Pill Furnace, which was also quite good, although not comparable to his Three Qian Taihe Furnace, its value wouldn’t be low.
Selling it to the family or at the Market would be quite good.
He even thought about taking out a few artifacts he didn’t use and giving them directly to the family.
After all, he owed his harvests this time to the family.
Without the Lizard Lord and the Turtle Ancestor, he wouldn’t even be alive.
Most importantly, the family had given him the Divine Protection Pendant and hadn’t asked for it back.
Ye Jingcheng then reached for one of the Array Discs, consisting of thirty-six Array Banners, with an upper and a lower Array Disc, representing two main array foundations and thirty-six sub-array foundations.
Thus forming a Tier Two Lower-grade Trapping Array.
Ye Jingcheng glanced at the spirit pattern distribution on the Array Disc, barely managing to discern this.
The spirit patterns of the Trapping Array were scattered, much like its Array Banners, which would also be heavily dispersed.
This ensured adequate coverage, preventing opposing cultivators from escaping.
Ye Jingcheng planned to inquire Ye Jingyu when he had the time, and for now, he named this spirit array the Heaven and Earth Net Array.
As for the remaining Array Disc, Ye Jingcheng recognized it as a Tier Two Concealment Array, the Hidden Spirit Grand Array.
It could conceal one’s form and aura, and could be paired with his Supreme Turtle Concealing Qi Technique and Hidden Spirit Armor.
Useful for ambushes or isolating scouts, it had indeed remarkable effects.
Ye Jingcheng carefully stored it away.
As for the Spirit Pills and Tier One Artifact Spirit Talismans, he simply placed them into his Storage Jade Bracelet.
These items, especially effective ones, had already been used up by Li Muhe.
The remaining were only suitable for dealing with Qi Cultivation Cultivators.
Ye Jingcheng then picked up the Storage Bag from the Black-robed Evil Cultivator, which he expected the most from.
After all, this Black-robed Evil Cultivator had no family, surely, he wouldn’t hide all his treasures before coming, waiting for a fated person.
And sure enough, the next moment, inside the Storage Bag, there were abundant resources, forming small piles of Spirit Stones, a row of quaint wooden racks.
On the racks, there were many Jade Talismans and Jade Boxes.
The Jade Talismans spoke volumes, all being secret techniques, while inside the Jade Boxes were several spirit medicines and some special materials.
Of course, what most excited Ye Jingcheng were the artifacts of this Evil Cultivator.
His artifacts were much better than the Li family’s Foundation Establishment ones.
The Li family indeed had a slim background compared to other families.
Ye Jingcheng first looked at the Evil Ghost Gong, Black Shield, and Red Crab Claw.
Except for the Evil Ghost Gong, the others were Tier Two Middle-grade Spiritual Artifacts.
Their power was unquestionable, and aside from these two artifacts, there was also a palm-sized Tier Two Spiritual Ship, further delighting Ye Jingcheng.
Furthermore, his Black Wood Coffin still contained a Profound Silver Needle Spiritual Artifact.
This Black-robed Evil Cultivator truly was a Treasure-Bringing Child!
