Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Red Section Fish
On both banks of the river, countless snake corpses were swept down by the current, then scooped up one by one by a few water monkeys waiting beyond the Spiritual Net Array and thrown onto the banks.
All the Ye Family Members were delighted.
Near Ye Xingliu’s bank, the remaining Tier Two Jade Qilin Snake also began to weaken and was eventually slain by the combined forces of Ye Xingliu, the Lizard Lord, and the Hanging Eye Tiger!
Of course, the Hanging Eye Tiger’s left leg also had a huge bloody gash, a wound inflicted by the Jade Qilin Tail Saber during the close combat.
It was a sight that made one’s heart jump.
At this moment, inside the Spiritual Net Array, there was still a Jade Qilin Snake and other Spirit Snakes struggling, but they could no longer stir up any trouble!
Three Jade Qilin Snakes could still struggle a bit, but with just one, there wasn’t much hope!
Ye Xingliu took out a spirit talisman, about a foot long, and gently sent it flying towards the Jade Qilin Snake!
At the same time, a black nine-layered tower flew out.
The Spirit Net began to contract.
The tower landed on top of the Jade Qilin Snake, releasing a burst of black light, almost enveloping the white jade spiritual light!
The Jade Qilin Snake struggled more vigorously, but at this moment, being restrained by the Spirit Net, and with another foot-long spirit talisman flying in, it was completely immobilized, and finally absorbed into the Black Tower!
The Black Tower quickly returned to Ye Xingliu’s hand!
This Black Tower was clearly a Tier Two Spiritual Artifact.
However, the remaining Tier One Spirit Snakes were all slaughtered by Ye Xingliu using the Child and Mother Swords!
The other Tier One Spirit Snakes also posed no threat at this moment and were eliminated one by one by the Ye Family Cultivators.
The Spiritual Powder of the Snake Ape Grass was not that much either, and being underwater in the river, it had mostly dispersed by now.
The number of arriving snakes was decreasing.
Ye Xingliu’s gaze turned extremely deep as he looked into the depths of the river.
Other clan elders were the same, one after another.
"Begin capturing the Spirit Fish!" Ye Xingliu spoke again.
With Ye Xingliu’s orders, a few Ye Family Members began to step out and started releasing pieces of secret-recipe Spiritual Bait!
The other cultivators may not be aware of it, but the Ye Family knew very well that there must be Spirit Fish present in this river!
With so many Spirit Snakes and Pythons, it was impossible for there to be no Spirit Fish, and they had once caught them downstream of this Jade Dragon River.
However, these Spirit Fish rarely swam downstream; Ye Xingliu estimated that it was very likely because these snakes were herding them in Jade Dragon Pool.
Now, most of the snakes and pythons should be heading towards the main valley entrance, entangled by the cultivators of the Taiyi Sect.
And the few remaining were all captured by the Ye Family, making this the perfect time for the Ye Family to catch Spirit Fish!
Sure enough, as the rapid water shook, crimson figures emerged amidst the river’s rapid currents!
This scene elated the Ye Family Cultivators!
"It’s an Early Stage First Tier Red Section Fish!" a member of the Ye Family couldn’t help but exclaim!
Ye Jingcheng was also quite excited!
This type of Red Section Fish was famous for the red sections on its body!
One layer of red section represented an Early Stage First Tier Red Section Fish, and two layers represented a Mid-stage First Tier Red Section Fish!
These Red Section Fish had no offensive capability, but they reproduced quickly, were extremely delicious, and abounded in Spiritual Energy, making them the perfect choice for Spiritual Cuisine.
They sold exceedingly well at Mo’s Tavern!
The Ye Family’s harvest this time was evident!
"Half of the cultivators, follow the loose cultivators to search for Spirit Medicine, the other half, continue capturing the Spirit Fish!" Ye Xingliu started giving instructions.
With such a good harvest, the Ye Family naturally had to keep people there.
Although there was plenty of Spirit Medicine in the jungle, it was important to know that so many cultivators were searching, including loose cultivators and other family cultivators!
If the Ye Family made great efforts, it might cause competition!
The key was that for Tier Three and above Spirit Medicine, the Ye Family had no rights to keep it!
But not going was not an option either, since the Ye Family had Treasure Hunting Spirit Rats, Spirit-Seeking Bees, and Big-headed Ants.
At this moment, Ye Jingcheng also looked at the lake surface, collecting the snake corpses that belonged to him!
So far, he had slain a total of eleven Tier One Spirit Snakes, an achievement almost comparable to Ye Jingyu’s.
At this time, Ye Jingcheng also started using the Water Arrow Skill to capture the Red Section Fish!
If he only knew the Li Fire Skill, he would have to use spirit talismans to cast the Water Arrow Skill, which was quite costly!
But with the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture, he could cast four types of Magic with ease!
Moreover, due to the purity of the Spiritual Power, the power of the Water Arrow Skill was considerable, and in less than a quarter-hour, he had captured three Red Section Fish.
Even though they only had one Spirit Section, Ye Jingcheng was already quite satisfied.
However, he was somewhat puzzled that they were constantly being plotted against by the Li Family, which wasn’t the style of the Ye Family.
Therefore, he was also expecting to see when the Ye Family would start scheming back.
He had no doubt about this!
Neither Ye Xinghe nor Ye Xingliu were ones to suffer losses!
He also had confidence in these elders of the Ye Family.
Sometimes, he even felt that these elders of the Ye Family, compared to those newly emerging family cultivators of the Li Family, had a kind of capability to overwhelm them.
However, as a junior, if Ye Xingliu didn’t speak, Ye Jingcheng wouldn’t ask either.
At this moment, he just wanted to earn more Spirit Stones and capture a few more Red Section Fish!
Even though he was an Alchemy Master, supporting three Spirit Beasts was still quite a burden!
However, at this moment, he noticed that Ye Haiyi and Ye Jingyu were also approaching him, both hunting for Red Section Fish!
In the next moment, Ye Xingliu began to take out an Array.
This Array was of another kind; its greatest effect was not defense, nor attack, but to form a transparent Spirit Shield.
It enveloped Ye Jingcheng, Ye Jingyu, and Ye Haiyi!
In an instant, the three of them were no longer covered by Divine Sense nor visible to the naked eye!
Ye Haiyi walked in front of them at this moment!
"Lu Wen!" Ye Haiyi’s voice was extremely authoritative!
More authoritative than usual!
And this scene filled Ye Jingcheng with astonishment, as if there was a special mission.
Ye Jingyu quickly revealed the Beast Communication Pattern, and Ye Jingcheng hurriedly revealed his own.
Ye Jingyu’s Beast Communication Pattern was barely five inches, while Ye Jingcheng’s was slightly over five inches!
Of course, within Ye Jingcheng, there was also a seven-inch Beast Communication Pattern.
However, at this moment, he naturally couldn’t reveal it.
Ye Haiyi also quickly revealed his Beast Communication Pattern, which was exactly two and a half three-inch Beast Patterns, just one inch short of forming three three-inch Beast Patterns, thereby transforming into one five-inch Beast Communication Pattern.
After confirming the Beast Communication Patterns, all three were concealed.
"During this conversation, we won’t use Divine Sense communication. Everyone looks at this jade, and write what you want to say on it!" Ye Haiyi spoke again!
Ye Haiyi also passed over two pieces of jade.
Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng became even more tense and curious.
This action of the Ye Family seemed to be aiming to hide from the Purple Mansion Cultivators of the Taiyi Sect!
What Ye Jingcheng was curious about was how, even if they hid and obtained treasures, they would manage to take them away!
It was well known that all cultivators, if there were loose cultivators, were already registered!
Even deceased cultivators, their corpses, or information from their Soul Talismans were checked by the Taiyi Sect.
The likelihood of privately storing treasures was extremely low, and if discovered, it wouldn’t just be an issue of treasure hoarding.
It could even mean the disappearance of a family from the Taihang Mountain Market!
Other families would certainly be more than happy, and would likely even monitor and report each other if possible!
