Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Sand Sea, within a sandy valley.

Here, a dense array of various holes covered the area, from which countless Sand Ginseng Scorpions crawled out, blanketing most of the valley.

These Sand Ginseng Scorpions were covered in an earthy yellow sheen.

Each one was plump and powerful, resembling a scorpion-shaped earth ginseng, with particularly strong pincers.

They favored consuming sand gold, supplemented by blood.

Their diet was somewhat similar to earthworms, making them a unique presence in the Sand Sea.

"Jingzhong, here's the pill formula. I modified it from an Earth-Grade pill. In the future, who knows, these Sand Ginseng Scorpions might even reach the peak of Tier 2 or even Tier 3!" Ye Jingcheng crouched down, releasing a Sand Ginseng Scorpion.

He also handed a jade scroll to Ye Jingzhong.

Of course, this jade scroll contained not only the modified pill formula but also a formula obtained by Ye Jingcheng through a blood pact, which he then dissolved.

The advancement pill formula for Tier 1 Sand Ginseng Scorpions wasn't difficult to obtain.

The materials were also relatively easy to find, considering the Ye family controlled the entire Sand Sea cultivation world.

And since the Sand Ginseng Scorpions now yielded considerable profits for the Ye family, especially with their large population, it was worthwhile for Ye Jingcheng to personally contract one and derive the pill formula.

Behind him, Chu Yanqing also brought Ye Qingnian and Ye Qingfeng.

The two little ones, now over a year old, also wanted to catch Sand Ginseng Scorpions, but Chu Yanqing kept stopping them, causing the two little ones to cry out in frustration.

They were almost in tears.

"Stop rushing forward! Be careful, or your father will send you back to Sky Shadow Peak!" Chu Yanqing scolded playfully.

This time, because the teleportation array was destroyed, Ye Jingcheng planned to open up a hidden peak in the Sky-Leaving Grassland.

He decided to take Chu Yanqing and the two little ones on a tour of the various oases in the Sand Sea.

Their first stop was the Ye family's Sand Ginseng Scorpion breeding base.

Now, the Ye family used the Mother-Child Blood Pact Array to contract several Scorpion Kings, which greatly reduced the ordinary Sand Ginseng Scorpions' hostility toward the Ye family. With just Spirit-Feeding Pills, these Sand Ginseng Scorpions could even crawl on cultivators' hands without stinging or grabbing them.

Of course, even so, Ye Jingcheng and Chu Yanqing were still worried that the Sand Ginseng Scorpions might suddenly turn violent and harm the two children.

Therefore, they could let them play with the Jade Ring Rats, but not the Sand Ginseng Scorpions.

After all, the two little ones were still in mortal bodies.

So they were restrained with spiritual power techniques.

The two little ones were still very stubborn, opening their mouths, revealing their baby teeth, and babbling as they tried to rush forward.

Ye Jingcheng stepped forward and picked them up.

With one in each arm, he spoke to Ye Jingzhong:

"Jingzhong, the family's External Affairs Building has recently opened the Sky Tower. Is there any girl you fancy?"

"Not yet," Ye Jingzhong shook his head.

But he quickly added:

"Eleventh Brother, I think the family's path of nurturing spirit insects has a long way to go, so I don't want to find a Dao companion just yet!"

It had been almost a year since the Ye family's clan gathering, and seventy or eighty clansmen had successfully engaged in dual cultivation.

Don't think that number is small. You must know that the Ye family has only a little over a thousand cultivators in the Sand Sea, including the newly discovered immortal seedlings.

And the number of female cultivators in the entire Sand Sea isn't as high as one might imagine. Some clansmen even married mortal women.

Clearly, they were eyeing the family's fertility reward stipend.

In the eyes of some cultivators, it was just a matter of a shiver, which was much more cost-effective than hunting demons outside!

Ye Jingcheng could already imagine what a grand occasion the Ye family's Ascension Conference would be in the next ten years.

"Indeed, the family still needs you to continue working hard!" Ye Jingcheng nodded with a smile.

After inspecting the Sand Ginseng Scorpions, he planned to go to the Soul-Reaping Forbidden Ground.

If the Ye family could control some of the Soul-Reaping Worms there, they would have more means in the future.

Moreover, it was necessary to investigate the place in advance to see how strong the most powerful Soul-Reaping Worms were.

After all, his Dream-Devouring Worm had now advanced three times and become a Great Demon, and its feedback to his soul power was considerable.

And the Tier 4 worm formula required the essence blood of a Tier 4 Soul-Reaping Worm Demon King.

Of course, if possible, Ye Jingcheng still wanted to control the Tier 4 Soul-Reaping Worm Demon King.

And thus control the entire Soul-Reaping Worm swarm.

As Ye Jingcheng and Chu Yanqing walked away.

Ye Jingzhong was overjoyed.

He transmitted his voice to the surroundings, and soon several cultivators walked over.

"You always say that the stipend for nurturing spirit insects isn't particularly high, but now that we have the pill formula, the Sand Ginseng Scorpions in the future will grow better and better, and reaching the peak of Tier 2 is not impossible. At that time, this Insect Valley will become the wealthiest Insect Valley in the Ye family!"

"If you don't work hard, don't blame me for eliminating those at the bottom!"

"Now, you immediately go to the family's Pill Hall and issue the pill formula task!" Ye Jingzhong said to the several young Insect Valley clansmen.

Hearing Ye Jingzhong say this, they were immediately anxious, happy, and nervous.

They didn't know how Ye Jingzhong knew that they were privately discussing the spiritual stone profits of the Ye family's various industries.

But now they were indeed worried about being eliminated.

Ye Jingcheng's ability to create pill formulas had long been famous in the Ye family, and they naturally wouldn't doubt it.

Moreover, the Ye family's Vein-Protecting Pill had also been improved by Ye Qingyan, and its effect was even better.

Now, the success rate of the Ye family's spirit beasts advancing had increased by at least 30%.

"Okay, Uncle Jingzhong!" The several young clansmen nodded immediately.

…

Soul-Reaping Forbidden Ground, the sky was still filled with howling yellow sand.

As if some demon beast was controlling the storm.

Ye Jingcheng also arrived at the front of the forbidden ground. This time, he came alone.

Chu Yanqing and Qingnian and Qingfeng were staying in the nearest oasis.

On his shoulder, the Tier 3 Dream-Devouring Worm was lying.

At this moment, the Dream-Devouring Worm was hissing, clearly extremely interested in the Soul-Reaping Worms of the Soul-Reaping Forbidden Ground.

It wished Ye Jingcheng would enter and devour all these Soul-Reaping Worms.

Ye Jingcheng naturally wouldn't care about the Dream-Devouring Worm's thoughts.

What he wanted to know now was what tier the highest Soul-Reaping Worm in this Soul-Reaping Forbidden Ground was.

So he first set up several Tier 3 High-Grade formations to ensure he was invincible before taking out several Cloud Deer and slitting their throats to let them bleed.

As expected, with the thick, bloody aura, black Soul-Reaping Worms began to fly towards this side from within the storm.

These Soul-Reaping Worms were still as Ye Haisheng had said, led by Tier 3 Soul-Reaping Worms, accompanied by many Tier 1 and Tier 2 Soul-Reaping Worms.

The cultivation level of these Soul-Reaping Worms was also easy to judge. It could be distinguished well from the density and size of the spiritual patterns on their bodies.

And this batch of Soul-Reaping Worms that Ye Jingcheng had attracted only had one Tier 3 Initial Stage.

At this moment, seeing that Ye Jingcheng had no cultivation fluctuations, they still released the Soul-Reaping Sound.

Ye Jingcheng also covered his head, pretending to be injured in his soul.

Sure enough, those Soul-Reaping Worms suddenly screamed strangely and swarmed over.

But the next moment, Ye Jingcheng threw out the Void Profound Dharma Bottle, and all the hundreds of Soul-Reaping Worms were collected into the Void Profound Dharma Bottle.

Although these Soul-Reaping Worms were not easy to tame for the Ye family, after all, their souls were strong and their intelligence was high.

But the best thing about spirit insects was that they had a strong breeding ability.

The Ye family could breed them once with the Demon-Inducing Grass.

Ye Jingcheng didn't plan to imprison this Tier 3 Soul-Reaping Worm.

Instead, he directly killed it and let the Dream-Devouring Worm devour its beast soul.

After the beast soul was devoured, Ye Jingcheng began to enter the formation and began to enter a dream to investigate its memories.

The Soul-Reaping Worm's memories were very clear and very monotonous.

The entire Tier 3 Soul-Reaping Worm had never left the Soul-Reaping Forbidden Ground.

And within the Soul-Reaping Forbidden Ground, there were many Tier 3 Great Demon Soul-Reaping Worms.

Many Sand Soul Grasses grew inside.

These Sand Soul Grasses were all occupied by the Tier 3 Great Demons.

Only when they were about to break through would they gnaw off one of the leaves, which could be said to be extremely clever.

Ye Jingcheng was still investigating at this moment.

The next moment, he finally discovered that this Soul-Reaping Worm was heading towards the depths of the Soul-Reaping Forbidden Ground.

And inside, this Soul-Reaping Worm finally felt immense pressure.

"Demon King!" Ye Jingcheng was extremely certain in his heart.

Of course, he was also a little excited in his heart, which meant that the difficulty of the Dream-Devouring Worm's Tier 4 advancement pill was greatly reduced.

Of course, soon, he frowned again, only to see that there were quite a few Demon Kings inside, at least three.

According to the Great Demon's memory.

At this moment, even Ye Jingcheng was a little scared.

Through his memory, he couldn't judge whether the Soul-Reaping Worm Demon King was in the middle stage of Tier 4 or the late stage of Tier 4.

If he acted rashly, he might be killed by the Soul-Reaping Worms.

After all, he didn't have the family's spiritual treasure, the Blood Soul Pearl, at this moment.

Otherwise, relying on the spiritual treasure, he would have dared to go in and explore.

And at the end, he also discovered a corner of a formation disk.

That kind of formation that seemed like a teleportation array and also seemed like a place of inheritance.

For a time, Ye Jingcheng's interest increased even more.

It was just a pity that this Soul-Reaping Worm Great Demon didn't enter the depths of the Soul-Reaping Forbidden Ground much.

For a time, even if Ye Jingcheng repeatedly entered dreams, he couldn't see more.

When the Dream-Devouring Worm's black mist was exhausted, Ye Jingcheng also woke up from his dream state.

He then squatted down again next to him. This time, he still lured and killed Tier 3 Great Demons.

He wanted to know more.

If there really was a teleportation array in the Soul-Reaping Forbidden Ground, then maybe the Ye family could find a new road to the Eastern Region.

Of course, even if it didn't lead to the Eastern Region, it would still be an opportunity for the Ye family.

Ye Jingcheng naturally didn't want to miss it.

So, next, Ye Jingcheng squatted outside the Soul-Reaping Forbidden Ground.

Over the next half month, he killed seven Tier 3 Soul-Reaping Worm Great Demons.

Five of them even had Tier 3 inner cores.

Although they were much smaller than the inner cores of ordinary Tier 3 Great Demons, they were definitely considered good.

Ye Jingcheng even thought he could refine spirit pills to nourish the soul.

Of course, after devouring dreams, he also discovered more details of the depths of the Soul-Reaping Forbidden Ground.

There should be five Demon Kings inside.

There might even be late-stage Tier 4 ones.

No wonder the previous Zhang and Jia families hadn't explored this Soul-Reaping Forbidden Ground.

After all, it really deserved the name of forbidden ground. Now that Ye Jingcheng knew, he didn't dare to go in without authorization. After all, this Soul-Reaping Forbidden Ground greatly suppressed divine sense. If he was surrounded by multiple Worm Kings and worm tides, Ye Jingcheng didn't have the confidence to retreat completely.

And Ye Jingcheng also investigated the details of the teleportation array clearly.

It should be an ancient teleportation array, but Ye Jingcheng didn't know where it led!
