#593 - Purple cow flower black sand ant (two in one monthly ticket request)
The Heavenly Poison Swamp was shrouded in dark clouds, obscuring the sunlight.
The sounds of insects filled the air, as the arrival of summer also marked the peak season for insect noises.
At this moment, three cultivators landed outside the poisonous miasma.
They took out jade slips and compared them, then nodded in agreement.
These three were none other than Ye Jingcheng and his group, who had joined up with Ye Jingyu, Ye Haihe, and Ye Haisheng.
However, apart from Ye Xuefan, Ye Jingcheng, and Ye Haicheng being outside, the rest were inside the Turtle Ancestor's blessed land.
Although the Heavenly Poison Swamp didn't have a clear owner, there were usually many Green River Sect disciples who came here to collect spirit insects or some poison-attribute spiritual herbs.
These cultivators mostly came in groups of two or three, with groups of seven or eight, or even more than ten, being rare.
Generally, the appearance of many people, or an entire family, searching for treasures undoubtedly meant that they already had a target in mind, making them extremely vulnerable to being spied on or even secretly followed.
Most of those who came to the swamp to search for treasures certainly possessed courage, and once they saw an opportunity, the probability of them taking action was high.
Although the Ye family's luxurious lineup this time wasn't afraid of such a situation,
they were, after all, pretending to be Foundation Establishment cultivators, and it was naturally better to avoid unnecessary complications.
"As expected of the Heavenly Poison Swamp, this miasma fills the air and has already formed a dark haze; with this haze not dissipating, even during the peak of summer's temperature, it will definitely not disperse!" Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but exclaim at this moment.
Unlike Ye Haicheng and Ye Xuefan, it was his first time coming to this Heavenly Poison Swamp.
At this moment, looking towards the sky, the thick dark clouds completely blocked the scorching sun.
And one must know that it was currently the summer solstice, and outside the Heavenly Poison Swamp, the sun was bright, and the sky was clear!
Yet, before them, even during what everyone said was the weakest time for the Heavenly Poison Swamp's miasma, it was still filled with poisonous miasma, with extremely low visibility.
Moreover, this kind of miasma required ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators to use protective spiritual shields upon entering.
As for Qi Refining cultivators, without special antidote pills, they would probably be unable to move an inch inside; even body cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining might not be able to withstand it.
At the same time, the restriction on divine sense inside was also extremely great.
Outside the miasma, Ye Jingcheng's divine sense could cover several thousand feet, but once inside the miasma, his divine sense could only reach within ten feet around him, more than ten times worse than outside.
"This kind of poisonous miasma is no longer ordinary; there should be yin veins below!" Ye Xuefan also commented.
After speaking, he took out the previously prepared Third-Order Clarity Pill, which was specifically effective against poisonous miasma.
As long as this pill was held in their mouths, the three of them would have nothing to fear, even in the most central and densest miasma.
After the three of them divided the pills, Ye Xuefan looked at Ye Jingcheng again:
"Jingcheng, take out your Five Poison Bees and let us see; we've already tried the Black Armor Scorpions, and they aren't very suitable here!" Ye Xuefan and Ye Haicheng had obviously been here many times, and had even borrowed Ye Xueliang and Ye Xuefu's Black Armor Scorpions.
But it was clear that not all poisonous insects could adapt to the poisonous miasma environment here.
The Ye family wanted to be safe and monopolize the Third-Order secret realm, so they had to be prepared for surveillance, and surveillance with poisonous insects was very necessary.
Ye Jingcheng didn't hesitate; he pressed his hand forward, and from within his spirit beast pouch, seventy or eighty Five Poison Bees flew out.
These Five Poison Bees were now even larger than before, and even Ye Haicheng couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression.
Because the ones Ye Jingcheng had raised before weren't that big.
But in fact, Ye Jingcheng had eliminated many batches of Five Poison Bees, and the remaining Five Poison Bees were all extremely talented and carefully cultivated by Ye Jingcheng.
Many had reached the Second-Order, and their sizes were also extremely large.
Among them was also a Six-Colored Bee, but for Ye Jingcheng, even the Six-Colored Bee was no longer necessary to cultivate.
As several poisonous bees entered the poisonous miasma, these poisonous bees all began to buzz.
They were even more active and excited than before.
Ye Jingcheng even felt the joyful emotional fluctuations transmitted by the Five Poison Bees.
"Grandfather, Fourth Uncle-Grandfather, the Five Poison Bees have no problems, and these poisonous miasmas seem to be helping the molting of the Five Poison Bees' stingers!" Ye Jingcheng transmitted his voice.
Ye Xuefan and Ye Haicheng also nodded.
"Let's go in!"
The three of them also followed the pre-arranged route, and Ye Xuefan stomped his feet as he walked.
Ye Jingcheng felt a layer of spiritual light enter the ground.
But very quickly, he couldn't sense anything.
He knew that Ye Xuefan had used a formation.
But precisely because of this, he was even more surprised; he was now in the mid-stage of the Violet Palace realm, but his divine sense had the strength of the late-stage Violet Palace realm.
Even if Ye Xuefan was in the late-stage Violet Palace realm, under normal circumstances, he wouldn't be so unable to sense it.
This could only explain one thing: Ye Xuefan's formation skills might be even stronger than he imagined.
The three of them continued to move forward slowly.
Entering the poisonous miasma swamp, the three of them also became cautious.
They tried to choose firmer ground to move forward.
At the same time, they also controlled their own weight to be extremely light, almost like walking on water.
This was, after all, a swamp.
Even if there was vegetation, stepping on it with force could cause them to sink in.
The laws of the outside world might not necessarily apply here.
Moreover, there was a high possibility of the existence of demon beasts and demon insects below the swamp.
Although there weren't many Third-Order great demons here, it wasn't to say that there were none.
In addition, they were now Foundation Establishment cultivators and had to hide their identities; it was inevitable that there were other people outside the miasma, and the Ye family members still didn't want to see themselves exposed.
Naturally, they had to be even more careful.
"Grandfather, there seems to be Purple Ox Flowers here!" Ye Jingcheng suddenly said in surprise.
He used the Five Poison Bees to clear the way, but he didn't expect the Five Poison Bees to transmit the exciting news of a poisonous flower.
It was currently summer, and there were many spiritual herbs blooming.
And in the Heavenly Poison Swamp, most of these spiritual flowers were poisonous flowers.
The information transmitted by the Five Poison Bees seemed to be the Purple Ox Flower.
This kind of spiritual flower could be the main ingredient for refining the Purple Illusion Pill and was also a Third-Order spiritual herb.
It was extremely rare in the outside world.
This Purple Illusion Pill belonged to the Third-Order spiritual pill for dispelling illusions.
Although the value of this Purple Illusion Pill wasn't particularly high, it was, after all, a Third-Order spiritual pill, and it could also dispel illusions, which might have miraculous effects at certain critical moments.
"Don't rush, we can go look for it!" Ye Xuefan also nodded.
One of their goals now was to familiarize themselves with the Heavenly Poison Swamp, which was very important for the next exploration, and although it was the summer solstice, the weakest time for the miasma hadn't arrived yet.
The second was to release the Five Poison Bees and form a Ye family's poisonous bee force map in the swamp.
After all, the range of divine sense here was limited; if a large number of Five Poison Bees were killed, powerful enemies might come.
At this time, the Ye family had to be prepared.
The few of them walked towards a small black lake not far away.
Ye Jingcheng didn't know if the lake water was black, but under the rendering of the miasma, it could indeed be called a black lake.
Next to the lake, at this moment, was a Five Poison Bee constantly circling above a cluster of dark purple spiritual flowers.
This was the Purple Ox Flower, with flower shapes similar to trumpets, but also somewhat curved, like the horns of a water buffalo.
"Puchi!"
At this moment, the sound of air being pierced came, and Ye Jingcheng also ejected several Golden Sword Arts.
Instantly, the sound of rushing wind was extinguished.
As the Golden Sword Technique landed, three black poison frogs, each about an inch in size, were revealed.
These black poison frogs are covered in highly toxic venom; even Foundation Establishment cultivators would face considerable trouble if they got too close.
However, the physical bodies of these black poison frogs are not very strong. After Ye Jingcheng killed them, he collected all their venom into a jade bottle.
The venom of these black poison frogs is also quite valuable in the outside world.
However, there's no need for the eggs, as the outside world lacks the highly poisonous environment needed to raise black poison frogs.
Ye Jingcheng then gathered all the remaining Purple Ox Flowers.
The medicinal properties of the Purple Ox Flower are concentrated in its petals. They also require a highly poisonous environment to grow. Ye Jingcheng couldn't provide such an environment and had no intention of transplanting them.
After collecting all the Purple Ox Flowers, he continued to walk towards the distance.
In this way, Ye Jingcheng and the others found many poisonous flowers, including first-tier, second-tier, and even third-tier poisonous flowers.
Moreover, the deeper they went, the higher the probability of finding third-tier poisonous flowers.
At the same time, the three of them also began to encounter some second-tier poisonous insects, and once, Ye Jingcheng even saw a third-tier Black Water Scorpion.
Ye Jingcheng did not kill this Black Water Scorpion demon.
Although he could now kill a third-tier Black Water Scorpion demon without expending much energy,
the fluctuations from a major battle could easily attract attention.
Divine sense and eyesight are not useful here, but sound is not greatly affected.
For the current Ye family, it was best to enter the Pill Desolation Secret Realm safely.
And so, two days passed, and the three members of the Ye family explored the swamp.
Not only did they set up the Five Poison Bees, but they also roughly investigated how many cultivators were currently in the Heavenly Poison Swamp.
The Heavenly Poison Swamp is not small. Ye Jingcheng estimated that it was at least as large as the Ye family's initial territory.
Even if a Core Formation cultivator flew at full speed, it would probably take several hours.
This was actually good news for the Ye family. The larger it was, the less likely the secret realm would be exposed.
"The Black Jade Stele should be ahead!" Ye Jingcheng suddenly said at this moment.
Only a dozen or so yards in front of them, they could vaguely see a small hill, and on top of the hill was a black stone stele.
However, everything seemed extremely ordinary, as if it were just an ordinary hill and an ordinary black stele.
But at this moment, a key in Ye Jingcheng's hand began to emit a faint light.
"Be careful. Dan Huang once raised Black Sand Ants. If this is truly the Pill Desolation Secret Realm, there will definitely be traces of Black Sand Ants!" Ye Xuefan suddenly reminded in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng was somewhat surprised. He had naturally heard of Black Sand Ants.
Although they have the name Black Sand, these spiritual ants can be considered Mist Ants.
They are undoubtedly similar to black mist.
They are extremely difficult to distinguish and can spew out black poisonous mist that can erode spiritual light.
Moreover, Black Sand Ants can even invade a cultivator's body and bite the cultivator or creature to death from the inside.
The best way to deal with these Black Sand Ants is to use wind-attribute secret techniques to disperse the black mist, followed by fire-attribute secret techniques to burn the Black Sand Ants to death.
Now that the Black Sand Ants are gathered in the miasma, they are even more difficult to detect.
Especially now that the range of divine sense is greatly limited.
Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng directly released the White-Browed Azure Wolf.
When they saw the wind-attribute White-Browed Azure Wolf, Ye Xuefan and Ye Haicheng raised their eyebrows again.
Clearly, they didn't know when Ye Jingcheng had acquired another wind wolf, and it even resembled the Azure Wind Demon King of the Azure Wind Wolf Plains.
"This is..."
"I obtained it by chance, but I don't know if it's a descendant of the Azure Wind Wolf King!" Ye Jingcheng didn't intend to hide it, but he really didn't know about the descendant issue.
After all, this White-Browed Azure Wolf was captured by the Nine Rivers Old Man.
"Don't capture the Black Sand Ants for now, just disperse them!" Ye Xuefan clearly noticed something. At this moment, Ye Jingcheng even intended to capture some.
His divine sense was not weak. At this moment, he had already discovered that some tiny insects were permeating the air.
These insects moved extremely quickly in the poisonous mist!
"Many people know about the existence of Black Sand Ants."
"Moreover, the Black Sand Ants have considerable flaws!"
Ye Xuefan added.
Clearly, he was worried that the disappearance of the Black Sand Ants would affect the other cultivators in this swamp.
And the flaws were certainly also a factor.
However, as far as Ye Jingcheng was concerned, he had discovered several Black Sand Ants with three layers of spiritual light.
That's why he had a change of heart.
But after Ye Xuefan said this, Ye Jingcheng no longer insisted.
He had the wind wolf tap the void.
Immediately, a shallow ripple formed on the surface of the lake, spreading in all directions.
What spread was not something else, but Azure Wind.
The Azure Wind blew the Black Sand Ants away from the vicinity of the three, and even the miasma dissipated somewhat.
This scene surprised the others even more, because at this moment, the White-Browed Azure Wolf didn't make much noise, just a slight touch of its wolf paw, and it had such power.
It was enough to see the White-Browed Azure Wolf's control over wind-attribute spiritual power.
The three did not delay. After Ye Xuefan set up a formation, they arrived on the hill and came to the stone stele.
As the key flashed, it automatically fell towards the stone stele.
In the end, they merged into one, and a hidden cave suddenly appeared in front of the hill.
This cave seemed to appear out of thin air.
"Interesting, someone actually used a natural formation, and this formation has reached the fifth tier!" Ye Xuefan couldn't help but mutter. As a formation master, he had clearly discovered something.
No wonder this Pill Desolation Secret Realm had never been found.
After all, Nascent Soul cultivators would not come to this Heavenly Poison Swamp, and Golden Core cultivators would probably not be able to find it without a key.
The three humans and one wolf walked into it.
With each step they took, the road behind them would immediately disappear.
At this moment, the three were extremely surprised, because their divine sense could not see anything. It was as if they were walking on a void staircase, extremely mysterious.
They walked for a full quarter of an hour before reaching the depths of the cave, where there was a stone stele that was exactly the same as the one outside.
A key was placed on the stone stele.
Ye Jingcheng took the key, and the road behind them completely disappeared.
At the same time, the layout of the hall also changed again, and a secret realm gate appeared on the top of the cave.
Spiritual energy was constantly emitted from this gate.
"There's no need to leave anyone behind. No one can follow in with this fifth-tier formation!" Ye Xuefan said.
Both were not very confident about the third-tier secret realm. After all, the highest combat power in the third-tier secret realm was only Core Formation, and although Ye Xuefan was in the late Core Formation stage, the Ye family only had Ye Haicheng and Ye Jingcheng in the mid Core Formation stage.
But they didn't know how many third-tier wood demons were inside.
