Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1294 - 908: Blood Mother Ganoderma and Treasure Snatching
Previously on Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book...
In a tranquil pool, bubbles occasionally rose to the surface as a red-eyed giant frog, like a boulder, floated on the water.
Its gaze was fixed on a Spirit Flower in the distance that was emitting Spirit Fragrance.
Its rolling pupils at this moment revealed an impatient bloodthirsty intent.
The Spirit Flower swayed gently with the breeze, and a Five Poison Bee was quietly approaching the flower.
The next moment, the giant frog stirred the water.
A massive Tongue Spear shot out with lightning speed, piercing the Five Poison Bee in the blink of an eye, and was about to roll the bee back and swallow it into its belly.
But just then, a Flying Sword shot out, turning into a blood-colored Sword Light that slashed over.
Boom!
That giant tongue was severed, and at the same time, the Blood Sword continued toward the red-eyed giant frog.
As the Sword Light rampaged, a layer of fresh blood began to spread across the Blood Pool.
Before long, the corpse of a giant frog floated to the surface.
The blood-red Flying Sword returned, and a short, fat Cultivator wearing a Spirit-Blocking Robe appeared beside the pool.
He skillfully collected a Blood Sunflower beside the pool and placed it into a Jade Box for proper preservation.
Then he retrieved the blood frog’s corpse and also dug out a Tier Four Demon Beast Core from its head.
"This Earth Immortal Realm is truly wondrous. The Spiritual Energy is far stronger than in the Great Yu Realm; even thousand-year Tier Four Blood Sunflowers are so commonplace!" The Cultivator was naturally Ye Jingcheng in disguise, and the Flying Sword he had released was Master Xi Wang’s Xi Wang Blood Mother Sword.
As a Tier Four Top-Grade Treasure, wielded with Ye Jingcheng’s current Late Stage of Golden Core cultivation, killing a newly advanced Tier Four red-eyed frog was naturally not difficult, especially since Ye Jingcheng had used the Five Poison Bee as bait for an ambush.
After putting away the corpse, Ye Jingcheng took out a Jade Bottle and collected the Beast Soul. This Beast Soul could be fed to the Dream-Devouring Worm to aid its advancement, and it could also help Ye Jingcheng better understand the Earth Immortal Realm.
The Spiritual Energy of this Earth Immortal Realm was extremely dense.
He now suspected that some Cultivators might try every means to remain in the Earth Immortal Realm; in three hundred years, they might well be able to break through an entire major realm.
The Earth Immortal Platform did not transmit all Cultivators to a single place; instead, they were randomly teleported within a certain region.
This uncertainty meant that one might be transmitted near a Demon King Cave the moment one arrived.
There were even those who were killed on the spot the instant they entered.
Ye Jingcheng’s own luck was fairly good; he appeared on a grassland without danger. With him were two other Golden Core Cultivators, but none were familiar to Ye Jingcheng, so they immediately parted ways.
He took out the Clan Token and a Jade Talisman map, confirmed his position, and once again hurried toward Ye Xuefan and Ye Xuecang.
Of course, he did not dare to fly into the air. The sky of the Earth Immortal Realm had two colors: one was an ordinary azure blue, just like the outside world, while near the center of the Earth Immortal Realm, the sky was filled with multicolored Spiritual Mist.
That was the region of the Upper Immortal Realm.
At this moment, most Nascent Souls, once transmitted in, rushed straight toward the Upper Immortal Realm.
This was also the calmest time in the Lower Immortal Realm region, as the Golden Core Cultivators were still busy collecting treasures, and no Nascent Soul would come early to reap them.
-----------------
Inside a bear cave, a Cyan-backed Iron Bear Demon King roared continuously.
In front of the Iron Bear Demon King, a white-robed Spirit-Blocking Robe Cultivator was taking out four Sword Bottles.
In each bottle rested a Spirit Sword.
The four Spirit Swords, each with a different Sword Technique, left the Cyan-backed Iron Bear Demon King completely afraid to take the initiative to attack.
At this moment, its body was already covered in blood.
"Roar!" The Demon King bellowed, seemingly trying to scare off that white-robed Cultivator.
But all around, an Array appeared, turning into Spiritual Light that enveloped the surroundings.
The next moment, several Beast Roars sounded.
This made the Cyan-backed Iron Bear instantly somewhat delighted; they were all Spirit Beasts, and in its view, at least they could fight side by side.
Yet before it could charge out, five or six Wood Giants, as well as the White-Browed Cyan Wolf and Golden Falcon, appeared one after another.
The four Flying Swords also slashed out with full force.
In the end, even though the Iron Bear Demon King was a mid-stage Fourth Tier Iron Bear, it could only die with hatred on the spot.
"Xuefan, good thing you came. Otherwise, killing this defense-minded Iron Bear would indeed have been rather tricky!" Ye Xuecang looked at the arriving Cultivator and could not help but sigh.
He had always been extremely confident in his Swordsmanship and Sword Bottles, but this Iron Bear Demon King’s Defense was simply too strong.
For a time, he truly could not kill it.
"Second Brother, you had already gained the upper hand. This Iron Bear was doomed to die!"
"Besides, it was Jingcheng’s Spirit Beasts that struck. We should be praising Jingcheng instead!" Ye Xuefan smiled.
He still had several Spirit Beast Bags he had not used, but since the situation was already resolved, there was naturally no need to reveal more.
In fact, if not for wanting to find Ye Jingcheng as soon as possible, they could have used this Iron Bear Demon King to practice their Swordsmanship.
Their transmission points also differed slightly, but overall, the Earth Immortal Platform did not send them too far apart.
Ye Xuecang collected a Blood Mother Ganoderma from the Iron Bear Cave.
His face was full of joy.
This Blood Mother Ganoderma was extremely effective for Body Cultivators.
If given to a Purple Mansion Peak Body Cultivator to take, it could very likely increase a Purple Mansion Body Cultivator’s chance of breakthrough by another half percent.
Among the Ye Family’s Body Cultivators whose cultivation was close to Golden Core, there was Ye Haige, who was a Wind Spirit Root Body Cultivator; his chances of breaking through were already not small.
"We still need to hurry and meet up with the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, then go find Jingcheng. He needs Peach Wood and the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor to ensure some margin for error!" After speaking, Ye Xuecang also spoke up.
Ye Xuefan nodded, put away the Array, and quickly disappeared into the mountains.
The Peach Wood was now already inside Ye Xuefan’s Spirit Beast Bag.
Their most important task at the moment was to find the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor and Ye Jingcheng.
-----------------
Meanwhile, in another part of the Earth Immortal Realm, the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor also turned into the figure of a middle-aged man.
He had no Clan Token in hand, so he couldn’t go look for Ye Xuefan or Ye Xuecang, but he could sense Ye Jingcheng through their Blood Contract, and at this moment he was also rushing toward where Ye Jingcheng was.
Only, on his way there, he still ran into quite a few Cultivators along the road, for the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, relying on his Nascent Soul Cultivation, simply flew straight off into the distance.
Along the way he also encountered quite a few Cultivators, and even saw a lot of treasures on the spot.
All these Spirit Medicines were collected by the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, while those Cultivators were all Golden Core Cultivators, and naturally didn’t dare harbor any designs; every time they sensed the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor’s aura, they hurriedly avoided him.
Of course, these people all wore bitter expressions.
At this point in time, there shouldn’t be any Nascent Soul in the Lower Immortal Realm.
"There’s actually another Celestial Dragon Fruit Tree!" The Earth Dragon Demon Emperor halted in a Spirit Grain valley.
Within the Spirit Grain valley, there were also several Golden Core Cultivators currently facing off against a Tier Four Celestial Rock Python.
The few of them wore luxurious robes and expensive gold ornaments on their heads.
Seeing the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor arrive, they had no intention of retreating.
Instead, they spoke via Transmission: "Senior, we are disciples of Jade Immortal Peak under the Purple Sun Immortal Sect."
"This Emperor is the Flood Dragon Emperor of the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea—are you telling This Emperor to give way?" The Earth Dragon Demon Emperor spoke directly.
At these words, those few people immediately grew somewhat flustered, and in the end they all fled one after another.
The Earth Dragon Demon Emperor didn’t give chase.
If not for this Celestial Dragon Fruit Tree being of no small benefit to the Ye Family, he wouldn’t have stopped here at all.
As for killing these disciples of the Purple Sun Immortal Sect, before he had absolute confidence in killing every last one of them, the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor wouldn’t make a move.
In any case, if they wanted to seek trouble, they could go to the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea.
The Celestial Flood Dragon Sea had two Divinity Transformation Demon Saints; if they truly had the ability, they could go look for them there.
The Earth Dragon Demon Emperor slew the Rock Python with just three moves, and also put away the Celestial Dragon Fruit Tree.
He then turned into Escape Light and vanished into the distance.
Not far from the valley, those few Purple Sun Immortal Sect disciples now all had faces ashen as iron.
"Senior Brother, what do we do?"
"What else can we do? Go to the next treasure ground. Or did you really think we could encircle and wipe out the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea here in the Earth Immortal Realm? For all we know, the Demon Emperors they have in the Upper Immortal Realm outnumber the Nascent Souls of our Purple Sun Immortal Sect!"
"This time, an Exotic Treasure has definitely appeared in the Earth Immortal Realm. Let’s hurry and seek other treasures and regroup with the Sect’s Nascent Souls as soon as possible—that’s the only safe course!"
-----------------
At the mouth of a volcano, crimson firelight spread across the sky.
A purple-robed Cultivator stood tall above the volcano, withdrawing a purple Treasure Order; beside him, Sikong Zitian was also present.
The two exchanged a glance, then plunged into the volcano together.
Before long, they descended into the interior of the volcano.
The heat inside the volcano was extremely terrifying, but for Nascent Soul Cultivators, it was still barely manageable.
Their gazes finally locked onto the depths of the volcano.
"As expected, just as Master said, this sea of fire has birthed another Nanming Red Flame Fire Spirit!" Sikong Ziming’s face was full of joy.
Beside him, Sikong Zitian hurriedly took out the Eight Trigrams Disc Magical Treasure.
This Magical Treasure was a high-grade imitation of a Spirit Treasure; besides its offensive power, it also possessed a Lock Spirit effect.
Right now it could be used perfectly to capture this Fire Spirit.
"Junior Brother, let’s move faster. Quite a few Nascent Souls came this time; that location in the Upper Immortal Realm may be hidden, but accidents can’t be ruled out!" Sikong Ziming also spoke up.
"Mm, please rest assured, Senior Brother!" Sikong Zitian nodded, and the two turned into Escape Light, giving chase after the Fire Spirit!
-----------------
All across the Earth Immortal Realm, countless treasure-seizing scenes were unfolding simultaneously; of course there were also those who failed to seize treasures and were instead slain.
Ye Jingcheng saw quite a few instances where Golden Cores were killed in turn.
Most of these Golden Cores were Early or Middle Stage ones like Lady Tonghe and Feng Daoran, whose combat power wasn’t particularly strong to begin with.
In this Earth Immortal Realm, they really didn’t amount to much.
"Fellow Daoist, leave behind a few treasures!" Just as Ye Jingcheng was about to fly past a cliffside.
Three Cultivators appeared before him.
These three Cultivators formed a triangle around Ye Jingcheng.
Two of them were clearly in the Late Stage of Golden Core, while the remaining one was at the Middle Stage of Golden Core.
"Oh? It’s starting this soon?" Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help being a bit surprised at this moment.
He didn’t find it strange that there were treasure robbers in the Earth Immortal Realm.
He was only surprised that only three days had passed in the Earth Immortal Realm so far; most Cultivators, even if they had obtained some treasures that were indeed valuable, definitely wouldn’t have gotten many.
Robbing treasures now was absolutely not a wise move.
"Fellow Daoist, are you a Cultivator of one of the Nine Great Immortal Sects?" Seeing how calm Ye Jingcheng was, the three couldn’t help pausing.
According to common practice in the Earth Immortal Realm, Cultivators from better Sects would already have gathered in groups of three or four by now.
Just like themselves—only in this way could one safely seek treasures in the Earth Immortal Realm.
Seeing only one person before them was what had prompted them to make a move.
"No." Ye Jingcheng shook his head.
