Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Chapter 33: Evil Cultivator, Golden Scale Beast

As the setting sun dipped into the mountains, nocturnal birds deep within the mountain range began to chirp.

Ye Jingcheng, riding the flying boat, finally saw the large bamboo forest.

Reaching this point, he finally felt relieved, and the spirit stones he had been absorbing were put away.

He also put the Crimson Flame Fox and Jade Ring Mouse back into their spirit beast pouches.

He couldn't act near Taihang Town.

Purple Mansion cultivators were stationed here year-round, and just now, he felt a faint divine sense trailing him. Although the Jade Ring Mouse wasn't flapping its jade ears and constantly squeaking, it was extremely uneasy.

In the wild, if a cultivator runs away quickly, it's not necessarily because they're intimidated by strength; they might also be going to get reinforcements.

This was why Ye Jingcheng was rushing so urgently, disregarding the consumption of Qi Recovery Pills, to reach this place.

Descending from the spirit boat, he cast a spell, and the bamboo forest parted, revealing a small path.

Passing through the path, he finally entered the town. At this moment, there was a large crowd of people in the town.

This made him feel rather strange, as Taihang Town didn't allow ordinary cultivators to stay overnight. Some cultivators, unwilling to spend spirit stones, would leave the town early.

Ye Jingcheng arrived at the Ye family's shop, where several rogue cultivators were inquiring about the prices of spirit beasts.

"Thirteenth Aunt!"

"Jingcheng, you're here? Your uncle is in the inner courtyard!"

Ye Jingcheng went directly to the inner courtyard.

"Uncle!"

Ye Xinghe was currently examining a Golden Scale Beast. This Golden Scale Beast resembled a mountain dog, but it was covered in golden scales. It had a beautiful appearance, extremely sharp teeth, and formidable strength.

It was a highly sought-after spirit beast in the Ye family.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng arrive, Ye Xinghe stood up:

"Jingcheng, you're here. Did you encounter any problems on the way? Recently, it's said that many rogue cultivators have gone missing!" Ye Xinghe asked.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng immediately thought of the three people he had encountered on the way. Judging by their actions, they had probably killed many cultivators.

Plus, there were still many cultivators wandering around the town.

"Uncle, there was indeed a bit of an accident. I encountered three bandit cultivators, but two of them were scared away by my Crimson Flame Fox!" Ye Jingcheng recounted the events in detail.

Ye Xinghe also felt a bit strange.

Then he looked at Ye Jingcheng:

"Did you open the storage pouch of that cultivator?"

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng took out the storage pouch. But when he opened the storage pouch, he saw several fresh corpses lying inside, with few treasures to be found.

There were only a dozen or so spirit stones and a few first-grade low-quality magical artifacts.

The most valuable item was the first-grade mid-quality magic sword held by the gray-robed cultivator during their fight.

"It seems that an evil cultivator has emerged. These bandits have also been placed under a blood curse," Ye Xinghe frowned.

This evil cultivator clearly needed a large amount of cultivator flesh and blood.

"Jingcheng, recently, if there are treasure maps or cultivator caves, it's best not to believe them. I'll take this to see Town Master Jiang of the Taiyi Sect!" Ye Xinghe took the corpses and the gray-robed cultivator and walked out of the cave!

The appearance of an evil cultivator, especially around the town, was a major event.

Over time, it would definitely affect the town's revenue.

Ye Jingcheng nodded, his face showing some lingering fear. If he had thought he had scared away the two and stayed in place that day, waiting for the two to call the evil cultivator behind them, he would have truly had no chance of survival.

Fortunately, he was just an alchemist and could stay in the town.

Ye Jingcheng decided in his heart that he would not leave the town until he broke through to the late stage of Qi Training.

Ye Jingcheng walked towards the Golden Scale Beast. Judging by Ye Xinghe's attitude just now, he seemed quite concerned about the Golden Scale Beast, making him curious.

He squatted down and observed the Golden Scale Beast. This little beast was obviously not very big, and its golden armor was still light yellow, indicating that it hadn't fully matured. But its eyes were exceptionally bright and quite ferocious!

However, to his surprise, the Treasure Book in his body automatically turned a page again.

On this page, a larger Golden Scale Beast appeared, resembling a Qilin, but the shadow was too blurry to be clearly identified.

Compared to the Crimson Flame Fox's nine tails, flying wildly, with raging heavenly fire, it was far inferior.

But it also proved that this Golden Scale Beast was extraordinary.

This made Ye Jingcheng's heart pound.

This was the second spirit beast cub he had encountered that could trigger a reaction from the ancient book, the previous one being the Crimson Flame Fox. This was the second one.

If possible, he would naturally buy it.

Although the Golden Scale Beast was called "Golden Scale," it was a true earth-attribute spirit beast. He also had an earth spirit root. If used well, he could choose a dual-attribute cultivation technique, and both spirit beasts could increase his cultivation speed.

It's just that he was truly short on funds.

He only had a little over a hundred spirit stones, and his contribution points had been completely used up in the family.

Unless he sold some magical artifacts.

"Jingcheng, you're here?" Ye Jingli also came out of the room at this moment, somewhat surprised to see Ye Jingcheng's arrival.

Then he worriedly asked Ye Jingcheng, because he knew that the Ye family currently had no other late-stage Qi Training cultivators in the town.

Coupled with the current situation…

"Sixth Brother, this trip was indeed dangerous!" Ye Jingcheng recounted the events to Ye Jingli again.

Ye Jingli also shared some experience, which Ye Jingcheng naturally kept in mind.

He would absorb good experiences and combat techniques, and he wouldn't feel anything if they weren't good.

To him, the more he understood this world of cultivation, the more careful he needed to be.

Cultivators taking spirit pills would have side effects and pill toxins, but spirit beasts, which stimulated bloodlines, would not. Therefore, with his ancient book and spirit beasts like the Crimson Flame Fox, his future would definitely be very bright.

If he capsized prematurely due to carelessness, that would be a great injustice.

After chatting for a while, Ye Jingli returned to his room. He planned to cultivate diligently for a while and refine more magical artifacts.

He wanted to exchange them for a good pill and prepare to break through to the sixth level of Qi Training.

At the same time, he also bought some Spirit Feeding Pills from Ye Jingcheng.

Since buying spirit pills from Ye Jingcheng, he had found that his Green Scale Python was growing exceptionally well.

Ye Jingcheng finally learned that this spirit beast had been placed here by another cultivator. As for the specific situation, Ye Jingli didn't know much.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng had no choice but to give up and return to his room to cultivate and recover.

He had almost fled back, and his spiritual energy, even with the use of Qi Recovery Pills and spirit stones, was only half full. Now that he was in a safe place, he naturally couldn't continue wasting Qi Recovery Pills to restore his spiritual energy.

He cultivated for a full two hours before his spiritual energy was completely restored. He exhaled a mouthful of stale air, and his eyes became clearer.

Although the Departing Fire Art was not a high-level cultivation technique, it was stable and solid, and it restored spiritual power very quickly.

In the following time, Ye Jingcheng planned to start alchemy as soon as possible. He found that after the Crimson Flame Fox used fire more often, it could now faintly continuously spit out four Fireball Techniques.

The increase in power also represented an improvement in strength!

This showed that using the Crimson Flame Fox for alchemy was the right move.
