Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Ye Family’s Spirit Beasts
Passing through the valley entrance, there was a dense jungle, with giant ancient trees piercing the clouds, and the occasional sound of beast cries.
In the jungle, there was only a river crossing from within.
What greeted him was also abundant Spiritual Energy. Ye Jingcheng even felt that the level of Spiritual Energy here was no less than Lingyun Peak.
And it was important to know that they had just entered Jade Dragon Valley.
For the Xu Family, Ye Family, and Li Family, the Spirit Medicine in this jungle was the most enticing.
"Let’s each choose a direction, using this river as the boundary, to clean up the entire Jade Dragon Valley!" Xu Wenchang was at the forefront.
The three families began to set up an Array at the valley entrance.
The cleanup will wait until the main valley entrance, with the Taiyi Sect’s main force moving first, followed by these affiliated forces.
After all, if a Purple Mansion Great Demon appeared, they couldn’t defend it.
"Since Brother Xu has spoken, let’s go to the left from the valley entrance!" Li Muhe spoke again.
With his words, the cleanup direction for the three families was basically determined.
The Ye Family would go upstream against the river, where Spirit Medicine materials would be relatively scarce, but Spirit Beasts would be exceptionally numerous.
This river led to the Jade Dragon Pool, where snakes and pythons could quickly come from the Jade Dragon Pool.
To the right of the valley entrance was the direction of the main valley entrance. The Spirit Vein Qi primarily came from the right, which was the sect’s main attack direction.
The Li Family chose to go left, which wasn’t particularly advantageous, so the Ye Family had no reason to refuse.
Ye Xingliu squinted his eyes slightly, glanced at Li Muhe with disdain in his gaze.
He then looked at Xu Wenchang, knowing well that the Li Family wasn’t that good.
However, this river was precisely what the Ye Family desired.
"Brother Xu, then the middle section with this river will be left to the Ye Family!"
Xu Wenchang nodded, finalizing the plan.
The three families organized their respective loose cultivators and path-opening cultivators, waiting for the distant Spiritual Light fireworks signal.
"Fourth Brother, Second Brother, pay attention to these people later!" Among the Ye Family members, Ye Jingcheng took out a Jade Talisman and handed it to Ye Jingyu and Ye Jingyong.
Although he had already given this information to Ye Xinghe once, with the battle approaching, they needed to be more cautious.
Of course, the three of them did not make it public.
As noon approached, the dazzling sunlight shone directly into the valley; even the river displayed layers of golden ripples.
This was the scheduled time when two Spiritual Light fireworks rose in the distance!
"Go!" Ye Xingliu gave the command.
The loose cultivators hired by the Ye Family began to explore the river!
However, during exploration, they would get closer to the jungle rather than the river.
For those loose cultivators, the river held too many uncertainties, dangers, and scarce Spirit Medicine.
At this time, Ye Haiyi took out the Red Thousand Rat, still with its scarlet long-nosed Spirit Rat.
Besides Ye Haiyi’s Red Thousand Rat, Ye Xingliu opened the Spirit Beast Bag, and hundreds of Sharp-tailed Spirit-Seeking Bees began to buzz out.
These Spirit-Seeking Bees were smaller than the average Overlord Bee, but much faster, and extremely sensitive to Spirit Flowers and Herbs!
And these were not the only Spirit Beasts of the Ye Family. Ye Jingcheng also saw several strange ants emerging from Ye Haitian’s Storage Bag. These peculiar ants, known as Big-headed Ants, were also famous on the Ye Family’s Spirit Insect list.
The massive heads of these Big-headed Ants contained terrifying venom.
If a cultivator was bitten by a Big-headed Ant without timely antidote, a mid-stage Qi Cultivation cultivator could potentially die tragically.
Besides these, Ye Jingcheng also saw the Red Crowned Snow Eagle, the Blazing Bird, and the Cyan-Scaled Python!
This scene truly shocked Ye Jingcheng; the mere presence of these Spirit Beasts from the Ye Family alone was enough to make those scheming cultivators despair!
With flying Spirit Beasts monitoring the sky, aquatic Spirit Beasts in the water, and various insects in the jungle.
Secretly, Ye Jingcheng knew there might also be two Foundation Establishment Spirit Beasts, the Lizard Lord and the Jade-eyed Hanging Eye Tiger.
Instead, the loose cultivators were not overly concerned by the Ye Family.
Ye Jingcheng also followed alongside, releasing the Jade Ring Rat and the Golden Scale Beast.
Once the Golden Scale Beast appeared, many of the Ye Family members looked sideways.
Nearly a year had passed, and the Golden Scale Beast had grown a whole size larger. Its golden scales were remarkably majestic, especially the front claws, which were even more robust.
This was due to frequent practice with the Earth Spike Skill.
Its cultivation level was also approaching the late stage of Qi Cultivation. It should be noted that this was Ye Jingcheng’s second Spirit Beast.
Meanwhile, Ye Jingcheng’s training methods were now known to many cultivators in the Ye Family, providing a good reference opportunity for them.
Of course, everyone who looked at Ye Jingcheng’s Spirit Beasts also saw the Jade Ring Rat. Compared to the Golden Scale Beast’s growth, the Jade Ring Rat seemed rather ordinary, except its belly had become notably plumper.
The Ye Family was also divided along the river, each side with over a dozen people; closer to the Xu Family side were Ye Haiyun and Ye Xinghe, front and back.
Closer to the Li Family were Ye Xingliu and Ye Haiyi, clearly to guard against the Li Family, while Ye Jingcheng, Ye Jingyu, and Ye Jingyong followed behind Ye Xingliu.
The jungle was vast, and once the loose cultivators and Ye Family cultivators spread out, the distance between each cultivator was not close.
"Three miles to the northwest, under a tree, there’s a Fire Ganoderma, guarded by a Green Bamboo Snake!" At this point, Ye Xingliu’s Spirit-Seeking Bees began to prove useful.
After he spoke, Ye Jingyong was the first to head towards the indicated location.
"Four miles due north, there’s a Red Scale Tree with a nest of Blazing Birds on it!" Ye Xingliu spoke again, and this time Ye Jingyu went.
During the following time, many Ye Family members set out; aside from Spirit Medicine and Materials discovered by the Ye Family’s Spirit Beasts, many loose cultivators also reaped abundant rewards!
The initial exploration of Jade Dragon Valley made many cultivators overjoyed.
Ye Jingcheng also wanted to set out, but Ye Xingliu had instructed him in advance to stay by his side.
Ye Jingcheng naturally didn’t propose to act, slightly anticipating what surprises the river might offer.
He presently had an Earth Attribute Spirit Beast, a Fire Attribute Spirit Beast, and was still missing a Water Attribute Spirit Beast and a Wood Attribute Spirit Beast.
In the depths of the jungle, a tall figure, after exploring for a while, began to look around.
He first glanced at the sky to confirm there were no Ye Family flying Spirit Beasts, then used Divine Sense to scan the area!
Qi Cultivation cultivators’ Divine Sense didn’t reach far, but likewise, the Ye Family members’ Divine Sense was not far-reaching.
Finding no abnormalities, he clenched his teeth and slipped towards the river!
Upon seeing the river, he revealed a Blue Snake in his hand.
He took out a Jade Bottle from his Storage Bag.
Pouring the contents of the Jade Bottle onto the Blue Snake, it immediately became extremely agitated and bloodthirsty, even trying to bite its own master!
But under the cultivator’s forcible control, the Blue Snake frenziedly headed towards the river!
