Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 792: The Appearance of the Ancestor of Xiaoshan in the Southern Wilderness

The curved root of the Nine-Curve Ginseng is very small, only the size of a thumb, and there are many tiny ginseng whiskers next to the root.

At this moment, the roots of the ginseng were all submerged in the spiritual soil, but the ginseng whiskers had not penetrated deeply.

This is a symbol of slow growth or even stagnation, but it also makes Ye Jingcheng a little excited.

After all, there is a chance that the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng will grow.

The Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng is the most critical ingredient in the Nine-bend Infant Pill. It is precisely because of its value that both the Qing and Bai families took the risk of sending their Nascent Souls to the open sea.

As long as the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng can be grown alive, Ye Jingcheng will have the treasure to help him break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

"Although the family has used various spiritual fluids, there is currently no sign of survival or growth. My second brother also said that this treasure was given to you by the family. It depends on whether you have a chance to save it!" Ye Xuefu also sighed beside him.

The higher the level of the spiritual medicine, the more demanding it is. The fact that this spiritual medicine has not withered in the past ten years is already a testament to the Ye family's sophisticated cultivation methods.

Before, because the ancient treasure of the Guanhai Mirror was in Tianma Pass, even if Ye Jingyu came back, he didn't bring the treasure back, for fear that it would be thoroughly investigated and intercepted by the Bai and Qing families.

And before that, Tianma Pass was guarded by the Jiaolong clan, and there was no chance of escape.

"Thank you, Uncle Nine. This treasure is so precious to me!" Ye Jingcheng bowed repeatedly. He still had great confidence in reviving the Nine-Curved Ginseng Root.

After all, his precious light can heal injuries and enhance the nutrient absorption capacity of spiritual medicines, and now there is also the spring spirit.

If before, his plan was to use the spring water from the Quanling Spring to bless the Ningjin Fruit Tree, now his plan is to use all his strength to bless the Yingying Fruit Tree.

The minimum medicinal age of Jiuqu Lingshen is 500 years.

He is now 113 years old, and he is confident that he can break through to the middle stage of Jindan before he is 130 years old.

Even if the delay in the middle and late stages of the Golden Core period is a little longer, he is still confident that he can cultivate to the late stages of the Golden Core before he is 200 years old, and then he can start preparing for the formation of an infant.

Naturally, the sooner this Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng is cultivated, the better.

After Ye Jingcheng put away the ginseng roots, Ye Xuefu also breathed a sigh of relief.

This treasure has been on him all the time, which does make him feel uneasy.

"Grandfather, Ninth Uncle, I am here this time with the intention of going to the Central Region for investigation. Although my Ye family is now developing very well in Yan State, True Lord Ziming knows a lot. This will sooner or later become a potential risk!" Ye Jingcheng said.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that the Ye family is developing in full swing everywhere, it can even be said to be at its peak.

But after all, strength is everything in this world of immortal cultivation. Once all the strength of the Ye family is seen through by others, it will be easy for these people to have evil thoughts.

At that time, if the Ye family had not made some preparations, they would probably have suffered a devastating blow.

In addition, there are many sects in the Central Region that have reached the state of God Transformation. Presumably, their development has far surpassed that of the Eastern Region, and is naturally more suitable for the development of the Ye family.

"Yes, take Hai Sheng and Hai Yan with you this time. With them, you will have someone you can trust, so you won't be left without help."

There are fewer people heading to the Central Region this time, but they are more elite.

Ye Jingcheng nodded when he heard this.

After a while, Ye Haisheng and Ye Haiyan came over.

"Uncle Haisheng, Sixth Uncle." Ye Jingcheng bowed.

"Jingcheng, thank you so much for having this opportunity to find me!" Ye Haisheng was still very happy at this moment. He was not good at refining medicine and weapons.

The only thing that can be considered decent is the talisman, but the talent is not that good either.

However, because of Chen Jing, he owed the family a lot of contribution points.

If he doesn't find a better job, it will be difficult to repay the contribution points. After all, he is now also focusing on training Chen Jing.

"Haisheng, this time you have to learn more from Jingcheng and your sixth brother. The opportunity in the Central Region this time is very important!" Ye Haicheng beside him also spoke.

"Please rest assured, big brother. The people I respect the most right now are Jingcheng and Brother Haihe!" Ye Haisheng couldn't help but smile, his face was extremely cheerful.

After discussing for a while, Ye Jingcheng also entrusted Qingnian and Qingfeng to Ye Haicheng.

After all, Chu Yanqing is also in seclusion, and the two little guys are only twelve years old now, so they still need good guidance.

After the discussion, Ye Jingcheng did not take action immediately, but gave Ye Haisheng and Ye Haiyan some time to prepare.

And he himself returned to his own cave.

He landed beside the spiritual medicine field, carefully planted the roots of the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng, and injected a large amount of precious light and some special spiritual liquid of the Ye family.

He even poured five drops of blood spring water directly.

The peach wood monster next to him was so shocked that his eyes widened.

It was calculating at this moment that if these five drops of blood spring water fell on it, it would be able to produce a longevity peach once every few years.

"It really works!" At this moment, five drops of spring water fell on the ginseng roots. With the addition of Ye Jingcheng's precious light, Ye Jingcheng even felt that the ginseng roots had become thinner and denser, and seemed to have penetrated deeper into the spiritual soil.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng finally felt relieved. Both the precious light and the blood spring were useful to the roots of the Nine-bend Lingginseng.

It also made him more eager to refine the blood spring advanced spring recipe.

After all, nowadays one drop is only equivalent to half a year. If you want five hundred years, you need at least a thousand drops.

And there are only more than ten drops a year.

It will take a hundred years.

This time is still a bit long.

And this is the lowest standard for medicinal use. If Ye Jingcheng wants the medicinal effect to be higher, the Nine-bend Ginseng may need to be seven or eight hundred years old, which will take even longer.

"Unfortunately, even though the family has been collecting for a year, we are still short of a second-level Bloodstone. We can only hope to collect it in the Central Region!" Ye Jingcheng murmured, then shook his head and began to meditate on his own.

……

In front of the forbidden land of fallen souls, the sun was high in the sky and black sand covered the entire forbidden area.

At the same time, the high winds were extremely strong.

Black storms formed.

At this moment, four figures stood in front of the sea of ​​sand.

These four people are Ye Haiyan, Ye Haisheng, Ye Jingcheng, and the Earth Dragon Demon King.

Although the Earth Dragon Demon King had to garrison in the sand sea, Ye Jingcheng really had no way to deal with these Soul-Destroying Insect Demon Kings and swarms of Soul-Destroying Insects.

Therefore, only the Earth Dragon Demon King can accompany him.

Moreover, if anything unexpected happens, the Earth Dragon Demon King can provide support on this side of the formation.

"This should be a modified natural formation!" Ye Haiyan took a look at the formation and raised his eyebrows, then spoke.

"These strong winds were trapped to form a forbidden area. This should have been arranged by Tianshamen. But I don't know how Tianshamen fell into decline!" Ye Haiyan said with some emotion.

The history of Tianshamen in the sea of ​​sand can be traced back thousands of years.

At that time, Dan Huang hadn't come yet, so naturally, it is difficult to explore now.

But judging from these soul-destroying insects, Tianshamen was once extremely glorious.

“Jingcheng, Uncle Long, if there is no rush, let me study the formation first. This is an unmanned formation. If we can study it thoroughly, maybe we can use the formation to explore the formation without being affected by the strong wind and soul-binding, and at the same time not attracting these soul-destroying insects!” In fact, to the Ye family, these soul-destroying insects are natural formation-guarding insects. They should have received instructions and will not destroy the teleportation formation.

Moreover, this kind of soul-destroying insect is also very easy to control through a contract, and is very suitable for guarding the Ye family's teleportation array.

Of course it’s a pity that Ye Jingcheng no longer has the possibility of a soul contract.

Even though these are just some spiritual insects, their spirits may be stronger than that of the demon king!
As he spoke, Ye Haiyan took out some formation plates and began to study the formation.

When Ye Haisheng heard Ye Haiyan say this, he became very interested, but after looking at it for a while, he saw that it was the same as before, so he gave up.

Instead, he released his own natal sword embryo and began to nurture it.

Ye Jingcheng couldn't help either, so he just watched quietly.

Protect Ye Haiyan.

This went on for three full days.

Ye Haiyan shouted softly:
"It's true, it's really clever!"

After saying this, he excitedly cast out a series of spiritual spells, which landed accurately in several places.

Suddenly the strong wind began to change direction, revealing a black and red sand path.

Moreover, the previous effect of isolating spiritual consciousness also disappeared suddenly.

"Jingcheng, if you didn't swallow dreams and search the memories of the soul-destroying worm, you might get lost in the forbidden area. This formation can be said to be a fourth-level formation that fills the gap of the fifth-level natural formation, but it seems that because too much time has passed, the difference between the fourth-level and fifth-level formations has become larger and larger, which gave me a chance to break it!" Ye Haiyan also spoke, revealing a hint of luck in his words.

Natural formations are indeed powerful, but because they are natural, many of them are half formations and have obvious gaps.

This gap was filled and improved by the people of Tianshamen, and thus a forbidden area was born.

Of course, with the changes in the strong wind, countless soul-destroying insects also came.

Seeing this, the Earth Dragon Demon King stepped forward. The Demon King's aura was clearly revealed, causing those soul-destroying insects to buzz suddenly, and for a moment they didn't know whether to move forward or backward.

Even a few demon kings retreated inside.

"There are actually four demon kings!" Without the formation blocking it, Ye Jingcheng's spiritual sense also probed in and discovered that there were four soul-destroying insect demon kings in this forbidden soul-destroying land. The strongest one among them was a fourth-order late soul-destroying insect demon king.

Its spiritual consciousness was also extremely terrifying, probably equivalent to that of the peak fourth level. Sensing the crisis at the moment, it gathered all the soul-destroying insects, a total of hundreds of thousands of soul-destroying insects, forming an insect cloud in the distance, which was quite spectacular.

Ye Jingcheng just used his spiritual sense to explore for a while, and his head felt buzzing. All the spiritual sense he sent out was swallowed up.

"Don't use your spiritual sense, use your Dharma eyes!" Ye Jingcheng said repeatedly.

Ye Haisheng and Ye Haiyan also nodded repeatedly, but both of them looked unhappy, and it was obvious that a lot of their spiritual consciousness had been swallowed up.

"How should we deal with these soul-destroying insects, Jingcheng?" The Earth Dragon Demon King was still calm at this moment. The demon beast did not rely much on spiritual sense, and it was a fifth-level Demon King. Its soul had been controlled by the beast infant's precious light, so it was not afraid of these soul-destroying insects.

In addition, without the formation and the strong wind to get in the way, it still has the confidence to destroy all these soul-destroying insects, but that is obviously not in the interests of the Ye family.

"Dragon Ancestor, kill two demon kings first, and see if you can control the remaining two!" Ye Jingcheng was a little unsure at the moment. In fact, many demon beasts would rather die than obey, especially this kind of spiritual insect that once had a master.

But Ye Jingcheng really couldn't bear to give up these soul-destroying insects. It would take too much time to lay eggs and breed them again.

Even if we can't keep all 100,000 of them, leaving a small half would be good too.

As Ye Jingcheng spoke, the Earth Dragon Demon King also responded with an OK gesture and transformed directly into his original form.

The huge golden monitor lizard is very intimidating as soon as it appears in the air.

A rich golden light began to control the sand sea at will.

The dense golden thorns killed thousands of soul-destroying insects in an instant. At the same time, a golden spiritual claw grabbed the tallest soul-destroying insect demon king among them.

"Submit or die!" The voice of the Earth Dragon Demon King was also extremely domineering.

"Buzz buzz!" However, those soul-destroying insect demon kings obviously had no fear at all. They actually led their armies and pounced towards the golden spirit claws.

If it were an ordinary magic weapon, it would be helpless after being attacked like this and its consciousness was destroyed. But the Earth Dragon Demon King's magic was spiritual.

Even though they were surrounded, with a shout from the Earth Dragon Demon King, their spiritual palms exploded and turned into countless golden thorns. In an instant, the explosions and thorns caused countless deaths and injuries to the Soul-Destroying Insects!
The body of the Earth Dragon Demon King also accelerated suddenly. Although it was huge, its speed was astonishingly fast. It arrived in front of the fourth-stage late Soul-Destroying Insect King in a flash.

boom!
The huge golden palms closed together, like two mountains inlaid together.

Click, click, click!
The sound of countless soul-destroying insect shells exploding was heard.

Again, tens of thousands of soul-destroying insects turned into insect shells and shattered.

The fourth-stage late insect king also fell into the spiritual palm.

The remaining three soul-destroying insect kings neither surrendered nor fled.

As if they were extremely stubborn, they surrounded the Earth Dragon Demon King.

But the Earth Dragon Demon King stretched out three more spiritual palms.

He grabbed the three demon kings one by one.

The soul-destroying insects are now really helpless, and many of them are actually lying on the body of the Earth Dragon Demon King.

However, the body of a fifth-level monster is too strong, and ordinary fourth-level magic weapons may not be able to cut it.

These soul-destroying insects are naturally even more difficult to bite.

Occasionally breaking a few scales with a snap is already a very remarkable thing.

Of the three soul-destroying insect demon kings, only the last two were left dying, and the remaining one was killed by the Earth Dragon Demon King.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng could only take out the fourth-level sealing talisman to seal up the two.

Waiting for the opportunity to surrender in the future.

Or wait for Ye Xuefan to break through and give Ye Xuefan a blood contract.

The latter is already in seclusion at this moment. If nothing unexpected happens, in more than ten years, the Ye family will be able to have another Golden Core True Person.

A large number of big monsters were also killed by the Earth Dragon Demon King. Of course, Ye Jingcheng also took the opportunity to seal some of them.

There were also a few others whose personalities were obviously not so fierce, so Ye Haiyan and Ye Haisheng made a contract with them.

Seeing this, the two of them smiled and signed the contract.

They had never expected that they would have reaped the rewards before even reaching the Central Region.

However, in the end, only two big monsters were successfully bound by the blood contract, while the rest died in self-explosion under the blood contract.

"You guys control these remaining soul-destroying insects and continue to stay in the forbidden area. After all, the teleportation array cannot be seen by those casual cultivators!" Ye Jingcheng collected the corpses and inner elixirs of the three soul-destroying insect demon kings.

He also took out all the essence and blood.

These essence and blood can be used to refine the fourth-level advanced pill for the soul-destroying insect, of course, it can also be taken directly.

And those inner elixirs are the best main ingredients for refining fourth-level soul-enhancing pills.

"Okay!" Ye Haiyan and Ye Haisheng nodded, and began to try to make a blood contract with the second one.

But in the end, only Ye Haiyan succeeded, and Ye Haisheng failed.

The number of soul-destroying insects also dropped sharply to less than 30,000.

In the forbidden area, there are now large numbers of soul-destroying insect shells left.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng confiscate it, Ye Haiyan and Ye Haisheng also collected half each.

These materials are also good materials.

It’s a pity that many of the soul insect demon cores of those third-level monsters were also crushed.

"There are really a lot of Jade Soul Grass here!" Ye Jingcheng swept his spiritual sense and found a lot of spiritual medicines in the sand sea.

These spiritual herbs are the main ingredients of the Jade Soul Pill. In fact, because the ingredients of these Jade Soul herbs are more than seven or eight hundred years old, the Jade Soul Pills refined from them can be considered third-level Jade Soul Pills.

After all, the efficacy of Jade Soul Grass that is seven or eight hundred years old is much different from that of Jade Soul Grass that is two or three hundred years old.

Ye Jingcheng collected some jade soul grass with sufficient medicinal content, and then stopped collecting. Instead, he asked Ye Haiyan to close the formation and release the soul-destroying insects.

This forbidden land of dead souls will become the same as before, and no one dares to come in and explore.

Another half hour passed, and the three people and the monster also landed at the entrance of a valley.

The entrance to this valley is paved with ancient bluestone, and a teleportation array is located here.

The teleportation array was obviously very old, but Ye Jingcheng did not see any obvious gaps.

This means that there is a high possibility that the teleportation array is still intact.

"There are some bones and Taoist robes here. They might be cultivators from the Central Region, but they don't seem to be very strong?" At this moment, Ye Haisheng also made a discovery nearby.

There were densely packed crack marks on the remaining bones. It was likely that these monks were devoured to death by the soul-destroying insects.

"No problem, this teleportation array can still be used for teleportation!" Ye Haiyan also spoke at this moment.

As a formation master, he could easily determine whether a teleportation formation was intact.

"Jingcheng, do you want to try?" Ye Haiyan asked.

At this moment, new problems also arise before the four people.

Someone was teleported here, which means that the teleportation array on the opposite side is known to others.

However, the opponent's strength seemed to be not that good, and they were all killed by these soul-destroying insects.

The possibility of there being a Nascent Soul cultivator is very small.

But this is just a guess after all. If the guess is wrong, and he is teleported directly and is ambushed, or is killed by Jindan using a fourth-level formation, then he would be in real trouble.

"Let's try it out with the Jindan puppet first!" Ye Jingcheng said.

The flying puppet was also taken out.

After the flying puppet was taken away, Ye Jingcheng looked at Long Zu again.

"Dragon Ancestor, wait a minute, you may need to enter my cave!" Since there is a possibility of being discovered, Ye Jingcheng naturally has to minimize the risk.

"Yes!" The Earth Dragon Demon King nodded.

So Ye Haiyan took out six top-grade spirit stones and placed them on the transmission platform.

As the spirit stone was placed in, countless spirit patterns appeared on the spirit platform. The next moment, a dazzling light appeared, and Ye Jingcheng's flying puppet disappeared instantly.

……

Central Region, Southern Wasteland Province, Xiaoshan Prefecture.

There are countless mountains here, among which Shahuang Mountain is the steepest and tallest.

From a distance, it is the most conspicuous among the mountains.

It is also the mountain where Tianshamen is located.

At this moment, the formation on the mountain was flashing, and there were shadowy figures outside.

There were also countless shouting and cursing.

"Huang Tieyun, why don't you come out quickly? You Tianshamen don't even have a purple mansion, but you still want to occupy the third-level sacred mountain on the border. You really don't know how to write the word death?"

"As long as you give up Shahuang Mountain, we in the Tianjian Sect will never make things difficult for you. We can even let you Tianshamen join our Tianjian Sect and give up one of our peaks!"

"You should know that you belong to the Zhengdao Sect, and we belong to the Xuantian Sect. Not killing you is already a great favor!"

……

Hearing the shouting outside, several old men on Shahuang Mountain were already feeling extremely bitter.

The Southern Wilderness Province borders the Southern Barbarian Province, and the Southern Barbarian Province and even the entire southern region belong to the Xuantian Demon Sect, although they have the support of the Zhengdao Sect.

But after all, it was just affiliated forces fighting each other, so the two major immortal sects and demon sects naturally could not say anything.

"Senior Brother Huang, let's retreat. There's no need to defend Shahuang Mountain anymore. The holy land has been occupied by monsters and insects. We can't escape, and there's no need to stay!" The cultivator next to him said anxiously.

"Junior Brother Xiao, you are confused. Do you really think they will let us go? The Demon Sect is the most cunning. If they don't have the Purple Palace now and can't break our Sand Soldier Formation, why would they just yell and curse?"

"Once we go out, we will inevitably be killed."

"This place belongs to the Southern Wilderness Province, so they naturally dare not invade and occupy it. They are after the spiritual stones and valuables we have!" Huang Tieyun said.

As soon as these words were spoken, the monk who spoke turned pale.

He was only sixty years old and had already reached the middle stage of foundation building, so naturally he did not want to die.

But when he heard this, he also became flustered.

Now that the Southern Barbarian State is launching a massive attack, even the reinforcements arranged by the Zhengdao Sect are no longer able to provide support.

The only Purple Mansion monk of their Tiansha Sect died in a secret place half a year ago.

"If we had known this, we would have withdrawn half a year ago. We don't have Purple Mansion cultivators, so there is no need for us to occupy Shahuang Mountain. Even the envoy of the righteous sect would surely understand!" Another foundation-building cultivator spoke up.

After saying this, he let out a long sigh.

"Think about our Tianshamen's 5,000-year history. Is it going to be destroyed in our hands now?" Even Huang Tieyun felt helpless at this moment.

"boom!"

The next moment, the earth shook and several huge swords came slashing over from outside.

The killing formation made a loud bang.

Several people looked ashen.

"We will control the formation. Junior Brother Cheng, you go and arrange for the core disciples and the sect's inheritance to leave!" Huang Tieyun ordered repeatedly.

And one of the fat monks nodded unwillingly.

However, at this moment, a monk suddenly stumbled in.

"Uncle and uncle masters, the ancestor has appeared!" After several people supported the latter, they were also stunned when they heard this?
"Tell me clearly, what happened?"

"A Jindan cultivator has been teleported here from the sect's holy land. He should be the ancestor of our Tiansha Sect!" the cultivator quickly added upon hearing this.

"Junior Brother Xiao, go and take a look. Junior Brother Cheng, you continue to arrange the clansmen and prepare to escape!" Huang Tieyun gave the order decisively after hearing this.

For him, he had not visited the sect’s holy land for nearly two thousand years.

Of course you can't trust too much!
