Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Spirit Egg of the Jade Qilin Snake (Double Chapter)
Downstream of the river, Ye Xingliu watched as countless Spirit Pythons and Spirit Snakes surged out of the river again.
The leading Red Section Fish finally slowed down, swallowed on the spot by a massive Jade Qilin Snake trailing behind.
The terrifying commotion caused quite a stir within the river.
Ye Xingliu once again activated the Tier Two Heaven and Earth Net Array, the dazzling Spirit Net seemingly more radiant than before. The Jade Qilin Snake’s Jade Qilin Tail Saber became even larger, as if it were about to cleave the river in two.
It truly could be called drawing the sword to cut off the water!
"Everyone, stop hunting the Red Spirit Fish, kill this Jade Qilin Snake and the other spirit snakes!" Ye Xingliu ordered, as the Jade-eyed Hanging Eye Tiger also began to charge out.
Those sharp claws constantly slashed out, but at this moment, even with the help of the Spirit Net, it was difficult to break through the Jade Qilin Snake’s scale armor.
Let alone that resplendent jade light.
Fortunately, the Jade-eyed Hanging Eye Tiger was not reckless, always maneuvering around the side, while Ye Xingliu continually unleashed the Child and Mother Swords and also took out the Black Tower Spiritual Artifact, incessantly beginning to suppress!
Meanwhile, the other cultivators of the Ye Family were also under considerable pressure, as both riverbanks surged once again.
Of course, when no one noticed, a Jade Talisman appeared in Ye Xingliu’s hand, which he crushed in an instant.
...
In a dense forest, a cultivator dressed in Li Family attire was constantly moving through the woods, while a small two-eared deer beast accompanied him in front.
This small beast had an extremely keen sense of smell, and soon, following the little deer.
He saw a crimson Fire Ganoderma.
This Reishi was growing on a dead Fire Cloud Wood, about palm-sized, evidently quite old, with some special patterns on it.
This made the Li Family cultivator overjoyed once more; such a large Fire Ganoderma could sell for hundreds of Spirit Stones. Even after yielding thirty percent to the sect and twenty percent to the family, he could keep fifty percent!
He drew out the Magic Sword, knowing full well that there would be a Medicine Guardian Spirit Beast nearby.
His caution seemed to work, but what appeared on the tree trunk was a slowly revealing giant lizard.
"Tier Two Demon Beast!" The Li Family cultivator was shocked.
But its long tongue had already stretched out, landing on the cultivator’s chest.
He was full of disbelief, yet powerless to turn things around, staring wide-eyed at the bloody hole in his chest!
A Tier Two Foundation Establishment Demon Beast imposed overwhelming suppression against a late-stage Qi Cultivation cultivator.
The giant lizard quickly fell upon the Fire Ganoderma, taking a large bite, then dropped a crimson Spirit Pill below the cultivator’s chest.
The Spirit Pill’s color was extremely similar to Snake Ape Grass Spirit Powder.
After finishing, the giant lizard took another bite of the cultivator’s corpse, then disappeared on the spot.
...
In the water of Jade Dragon Pool, the Turtle Shell Spiritual Artifact quickly sank to the bottom.
Along the way, Ye Jingcheng saw only a few scattered Spirit Snakes. The variety was certainly vast, with Black Water Pythons and Cyan Green Snakes being the most numerous; the latter closely resembled the Jade Qilin Snake but was clearly much weaker.
The closer he got to the bottom of Jade Dragon Pool, the more cyan the water became.
The Spiritual Energy grew more abundant, reaching a point where Ye Jingcheng even felt the Spiritual Vein was at a Tier Three level.
It must be known that even Lingyun Peak does not possess a Tier Three Spiritual Vein these days.
And at the pool’s bottom, numerous pits appeared, currently filled with numerous Spirit Snake eggs that left Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu a bit excited.
They wished they could just go down and take all those spirit eggs!
But Ye Haiyi was solemn, showing no intention of stopping whatsoever.
He continued heading further in.
Very soon, they could see a layer of jade green at the bottom, extremely vast, like a jade bed, exuding torrents of Spiritual Energy.
Ye Jingcheng didn’t even need to think; this must be the lair of the Jade Qilin Snake Purple Mansion Great Demon.
Only a Jade Qilin Snake Purple Mansion Great Demon could occupy such a large jade bed, and the two Jade Qilin Great Demons had probably already clashed with the Taiyi Sect.
And beside the jade bed, there were stalks of spirit grass about a foot long, with an extremely special shape, covered in torrential Blood Qi yet completely jade in form.
Ye Jingcheng, as an Alchemy Master, was first reminded of Jade Dragon Grass in his mind!
This kind of Jade Dragon Grass is a favorite treasure for body cultivators. As long as it is over five hundred years old, it is said that even for Foundation Establishment breaking through to Purple Mansion, it has miraculous effects.
Similarly, it is also extremely effective on demon beasts.
These spirit grasses were clearly left by the two Jade Qilin Snakes.
Ye Jingcheng continued to look aside, only to see that at the deepest part of the Jade Qilin Snake’s spirit bed, there was a gigantic cave.
Ye Jingcheng dared not use his Divine Sense, so he could only sense, through the cyan Spiritual Aura emitted by the Spirit Jade, that there were five large snake eggs inside the cave!
These snake eggs also appeared as white jade.
This made Ye Jingcheng’s heart race; such Tier Three Purple Mansion Great Demon beast eggs were surely the most precious treasures of Jade Dragon Pool.
If he had such a Jade Qilin Snake, his water attribute cultivation technique could also maintain its pace.
Like Ye Jingcheng, Ye Jingyu too couldn’t keep calm, his eyes also glowing with spiritual light.
Only Ye Haiyi, his brows furrowed, extremely serious, while the Blue-tailed Snake circled around beside him.
At the next moment, the Blue-tailed Snake also began to show abnormal movements.
Ye Haiyi timed meticulously, holding in his hand another Jade Talisman unknown to Ye Jingcheng.
"Jingcheng, take the eggs, take two, leave three, take half of the Jade Dragon Grass, take the one over five hundred years old, leave the rest at random!"
Ye Haiyi said through the Jade Talisman.
Then, the massive Turtle Shell continued to expand, and in an instant, it was as large as the courtyard of the Ye Family Shop, encompassing both the Jade Dragon Bed and the spirit grass, including the spirit eggs!
Ye Jingcheng immediately rushed out towards the spirit eggs, while Ye Jingyu headed towards the Jade Dragon Grass!
Inside the giant cave, the surging Spiritual Energy once again invigorated Ye Jingcheng, causing the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture inside him to begin circulating automatically. For a moment, Ye Jingcheng even felt tempted to stay here and cultivate.
But he quickly shook his head, gazing at the five large eggs before him.
The size of these five large eggs caused Ye Jingcheng’s heart to race, as they must be from the Tier Three Purple Mansion Great Demon.
It was a scene that filled him with both awe and joy, as he had never seen anything like this before.
In the images transmitted from the five lighting Jade Talisman pages in the Treasure Book, they all showed huge serpents of Jade Qilin Snake Great Demons, with Pill Formulas displayed rapidly; however, unlike the previous Tier Two Jade Qilin Snakes, the spirit snake images here were all as large as giant pythons, with fully jade bodies and radiant White Jade Spiritual Light emitted from their Spirit Shadows, and the Jade Qilin Blade Tails were even more terrifying.
This sight greatly shocked Ye Jingcheng.
It turns out that this time, four of them were like that, but the last one transformed into a massive creature with a Jade Horn, Jade Claws, and a great number of Jade Scales.
Ye Jingcheng was startled; it seemed that this slightly smaller Jade Qilin Snake egg contained the Flood Dragon bloodline, with the same infinite possibilities to evolve into a Nine-tailed like the Crimson Flame Fox!
And not just advance to become a Jade Qilin Flying Snake!
