Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 987 - 687: Spirit Province Plan, Remote Spirit Forbidden Zone (Double Update)

For someone at the Purple Mansion Cultivation level, apprehending these Earthworms posed no significant challenge.

Naturally, the most pressing concern was the substantial amount of Contribution Points he owed and the necessity of feeding a rather gluttonous Chenjing.

Consequently, his exploit this time involved the elimination of the highest number of Demon Beasts.

When a Purple Mansion Cultivator entered the fray against those in Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation stages for demon beasts, the outcome was undeniably one-sided.

"All these Tier Two Earthworms, once processed, will yield Tier Two Spirit Soil. I surmise a substantial Spirit Land is concealed beneath the adjacent sands, potentially sufficient to foster another oasis!" Ye Haisheng declared with a broad smile.

The present circumstances were increasingly tipping in favor of the Ye Family.

At this juncture, all the Ye Family cultivators regarded the Desert Sea with a certain possessiveness, akin to their own backyard, and were already envisioning the future landscape of development.

After all, in previous endeavors, whether in the Eastern Domain or the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, their influence had been significantly curtailed, preventing them from fully unleashing their potential and often resulting in their interests being infringed upon.

"Uncle Haisheng, that day is not distant. The expansive Desert Sea shall become the dominion of our Ye Clan; everyone, we are mere days away from establishing a true Ye Clan territory!" Ye Jingcheng's words served to galvanize the assembled group.

His speech effectively refocused everyone's attention.

While the entirety of the Desert Sea was indeed a magnificent prospect, a final confrontation remained.

Becoming overly complacent would be a grave error.

The paramount objective was to resolve the stalemate at Longxing Oasis.

Currently, this objective remained exceedingly difficult to achieve.

The challenges ahead included overpowering the Array, vanquishing the Golden Core cultivators, and eradicating the remnants of the Zhang family.

These represented the most formidable obstacles.

Furthermore, the Ye Family was also tasked with locating Secret Realms and Mini Worlds within this region.

Should Longxing Oasis eventually fall, it was highly probable that cultivators from the Zhang Family stationed at other oases would preemptively relocate their resources.

Therefore, Ye Jingcheng had to contemplate the strategic advantage of striking one of the four major oases beforehand.

Such a move might provoke Longxing Oasis into action while simultaneously allowing them to seize vital resources.

This could even compel the other three major oases and various smaller ones to transfer their resources to Longxing Oasis.

After all, in their assessment, Longxing Oasis, defended by a Golden Core Peak cultivator, offered a level of security arguably superior to that of any Secret Realm or Mini World.

With a strategic plan taking shape in his mind, Ye Jingcheng let out a deep sigh of relief.

Nevertheless, he recognized the need for meticulous consideration of the finer details.

"Chirp!"

Accompanied by a piercing cry, a Golden Falcon descended from the distance, its talons clutching a bisected Golden Roc.

The Golden Roc was roughly the same size as the Golden Falcon, creating a somewhat amusing spectacle as it was carried through the air.

It landed on the ground with a resounding thud,

becoming significantly embedded in the sandy layers.

The Golden Falcon bore wounds, indicative of the Golden Roc's formidable strength.

Furthermore, this Great Demon had reached the peak of the Mid-stage Third Tier.

"Devour it, and continue striving!" Ye Jingcheng urged the Golden Falcon.

It appeared, after all, that the Golden Falcon was the comparatively weaker of the two.

After returning the Golden Falcon to the Grotto Heaven, Ye Jingcheng gathered the remaining clan members and Ancient Treasures. He then transformed into an earth shadow, burrowing through the sand,

vanishing into the desert.

The desert soon reclaimed its original tranquility.

...

Located slightly east of the Desert Sea was Yuanling Oasis.

In addition to its expansive landscape, the oasis was home to Yuanling Lake, the largest Spirit Lake in the Desert Sea, teeming with myriad Spirit Fish and attracting a considerable number of Loose Cultivators.

Despite the Zhang and Jia families' overarching control of the Desert Sea, many cultivators chose to remain Loose Cultivators, eschewing allegiance to the Zhang family.

These individuals traversed between oases and grasslands, frequently congregating at Yuanling Oasis.

Within Yuanling Oasis, the most renowned establishment was Luoyan Tower, where patrons could savor Spirit Fish found nowhere else and indulge in the exquisite taste of Cloud Deer Meat, a delicacy highly reputed throughout the Desert Sea.

A considerable assembly of cultivators was currently gathered on the first floor of the tower.

While these cultivators engaged in conversation, a palpable sense of eagerness was mingled with a distinct reluctance to divulge certain information.

However, a broad-faced cultivator situated in a corner inadvertently overheard whispers concerning Evil Cultivators operating at Jiaxing Spirit Ore!

"Did you hear? Recently, there have been Evil Cultivators in the Desert Sea, specializing in slaughter..."

"Are you mad? Simply mentioning Evil Cultivators is perilous enough, and you dare to discuss them further? Do you truly believe all Loose Cultivators are mere wanderers?"

One individual quickly admonished the speaker.

The first cultivator, having spoken carelessly, raised his wine cup repeatedly.

"I was careless in my cups, a toast to my friends!"

The cultivator with the broad face also stood, moving to the side and retrieving two Spiritual Cuisines along with a fine jug of Fragrant Dew Spirit Wine.

"Friends, might I partake in your drink? I have been in seclusion for an extended period and am unaware of recent happenings!"

The Spiritual Cuisines here were most renowned for their Celestial Deer Cuisine and Red Dragon Fish Spirit Cuisine.

Of course, despite their grand designations, Celestial Deer Cuisine was simply Cloud Deer Cuisine, and Red Dragon Fish Spirit Cuisine was Red Section Fish Spirit Cuisine.

Nonetheless, within the Desert Sea, these dishes were held in as high regard as Black Mushroom Fish Spirit Cuisine.

The broad-faced cultivator was none other than Ye Jingcheng, in disguise. His visit to Yuanling Oasis naturally led him to the most prosperous oasis available.

Moreover, this particular oasis, being the farthest from Longxing Oasis, provided smaller oases ample opportunity to flee towards it.

As of this day, he had successfully forged the Golden Glaze Sword Treasure, a Tier Four Middle-grade Treasure. While slightly inferior to his Void Profound Bottle, it was certainly a commendable achievement.

This accomplishment underscored the significant wealth of the Zhang Family, a prominent Artifact Refining Family.

In addition to the Golden Glaze Sword Treasure, Ye Jingcheng had also refined the Black Patterned Magic Shield Treasure.

Although it barely qualified as a Tier Four Lower-grade Treasure, its power was undeniably immense, potentially making it more valuable than typical Low-Grade Attack Treasures.

Concerning the Golden Over Hook Treasure from the Jia Family, Ye Jingcheng had presented it to the Earth Dragon Demon King.

The Earth Dragon Demon King, being at the Tier Four Peak, was naturally capable of wielding such a treasure.

With his treasures successfully refined and the Crimson Flame Fox stabilized, Ye Jingcheng embarked on this journey.

Upon entering, Ye Jingcheng did not intend to proceed blindly; his priority was naturally to first scout for any surrounding treasures.

This particular battle signified an early celebration for the members of the Ye Clan.

After all, having several Golden Cores target an oasis defended solely by a Purple Mansion Cultivator was almost a straightforward endeavor.

"You may join us, but friend, let it be known: should you speak in a manner contrary to our interests, I will show no mercy!" the cultivator who had previously issued a caution stated directly.

With those words, Ye Jingcheng offered a nod.

"Naturally, hearing of Evil Cultivators causes me great concern. Having diligently cultivated for many years yet being poor in Magical Combat, might I inquire where these Evil Cultivators are rumored to appear? This way, I may avoid them!"

"Avoiding them is simple enough. These Loose Cultivators are reportedly seeking the legendary Purple Mansion Jade Liquid. Just ensure you do not go to Yuanling Water Palace at Yuanling Lake, Far Spirit Peak’s Dao Yuan Mansion, Celestial Armor Tower, and Profound Stretch Pavilion..." the cultivator who had previously spoken so casually replied readily once more, apparently disregarding his companion's earlier warning with serious apathy.
