Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Deep within the Valley of Long Tusks, a golden boulder rose from a pool of water.

On the golden rock, a golden sapling about ten feet tall grew, looking somewhat withered.

Many of its leaves had fallen, and it now appeared rather decayed.

The surrounding pool water was tinged with yellow.

"Master, this tree has been like this since I returned, sick for ten years," Mammoth Demon King said as he walked with Ye Jingcheng, his face filled with confusion.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng's expression turned peculiar.

The treasure book within him was now glowing.

It even showed three layers of spiritual light.

This indicated that the Gold Tempering Essence Fruit Tree could advance and was a wood spirit.

Most importantly, the recipe for the Gold Tempering Essence Fruit Tree seemed to start from the second layer.

If Ye Jingcheng wasn't mistaken, this Gold Tempering Essence Fruit Tree probably already possessed intelligence, and perhaps it wasn't low.

For many wood spirits in the wild, not all are willing to bear fruit.

After all, bearing fruit would deplete a lot of spirituality, although this spirituality and true essence could be replenished, it would affect the speed of cultivation.

For wood spirits, it was naturally best not to bear fruit.

And most importantly, even if it didn't bear fruit now, the Mammoth Demon King wouldn't know.

As long as it bore fruit once every forty or fifty years, the Mammoth Demon King would still protect it in the Valley of Long Tusks.

And it could continue to enjoy the spiritual veins and pools within the demon valley.

"Mammoth, maybe if you scare it, it will bear fruit!" Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but say with a smile.

Hearing this, the Mammoth Demon King was stunned; it clearly hadn't expected such an answer.

However, its character was straightforward, so it began to do as instructed.

With a wave of its hand, it instantly condensed two enormous golden tusks in the void.

They shot towards the Gold Tempering Essence Fruit Tree.

If not stopped, the tusks would probably shatter the rocks!

However, before the golden light could spread even halfway, several huge golden stones emerged from the pool, smashing into the tusks.

Boom!

The Mammoth Demon King clearly hadn't used much true essence; with the violent collision, the tusks transformed into yellow spiritual light and dissipated, while the golden stones also plunged into the pool, splashing large amounts of water.

A face began to condense on the Gold Tempering Essence Fruit Tree, and it even started to bloom spiritual flowers.

One had to know, it was already past summer.

Blooming again now was like an iron tree blooming, seeming too deliberate.

"Has this Gold Tempering Essence Fruit truly become a demon?" The Mammoth Demon King couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Yes!" Ye Jingcheng nodded, then added.

"Mammoth, I'm taking this wood spirit away. Every ten years, I'll give your clan three Gold Tempering Essence Fruits. Right now, they're rank three, low grade spiritual fruits, but in the future, they might become rank three, middle grade or rank three, high grade spiritual fruits!"

Ye Jingcheng's tone was half a negotiation and half an order.

"Of course, Master. If it weren't for you, this king wouldn't have discovered that this little tree dared to play tricks on me!" The Mammoth Demon King was still somewhat angry.

So it didn't overly insist on the Gold Tempering Essence Fruit Tree.

Although this tree was also very useful to their Mammoth clan, Ye Jingcheng had just promised that in the future, it might have a chance to break through to the fifth rank.

It no longer cared about this one tree.

Moreover, it also knew that if it weren't for Ye Jingcheng, it would have truly been deceived by this Essence Fruit Tree demon.

Ye Jingcheng didn't hesitate; he directly took out the Gold Glazed Sword, and at the same time, released the Stone Spirit Grotto, opening a void gate.

Golden sword light filled with dazzling sword radiance and a strong killing intent.

"Enter on your own, or do I have to invite you in?" Ye Jingcheng said directly.

The Gold Tempering Essence Fruit Tree trembled upon hearing this; its intelligence was clearly not low. After hesitating for a moment.

It truly surged with blazing golden light, and at the same time, the Essence Fruit Tree's main body rose from the ground and flew towards the grotto.

Transplanting this kind of wood spirit was indeed much more convenient than ordinary spiritual plants.

Ye Jingcheng didn't immediately form a blood contract with it, nor did he have the divine soul to undertake it.

Instead, he let the Gold Tempering Essence Fruit Tree enter the grotto, so that even without a blood contract, the Peach Wood spirit and Stone Spirit, etc., would have ten thousand ways to make this Gold Tempering Essence Fruit Tree bear spiritual fruit.

He had just sensed that this wood spirit's strength was only at the early stage of the third rank; without special means, it might not even be able to withstand a great demon at the early stage of the third rank.

So he wasn't worried that this Gold Tempering Essence Fruit Tree demon could cause any trouble.

After dealing with the Gold Tempering Essence Fruit Tree, Ye Jingcheng looked at the Valley of Long Tusks again and collected some more mature spiritual herbs.

Some spiritual herbs were of no use to these Mammoth elephants; leaving them behind would be a waste.

It would be better to transplant or pick them himself.

The Mammoth Demon King was even more delighted and grateful for the many spiritual pills Ye Jingcheng left behind.

After all, the effects of spiritual herbs and spiritual pills were completely incomparable, and the demon race was not good at refining pills or forging weapons.

Even if they knew that the spiritual herbs Ye Jingcheng took away and the spiritual pills he left behind were not proportional, they were very grateful.

Of course, what it didn't know was that Ye Jingcheng left the spiritual pills behind for the future members of the Ye family, so that they could better contract with these great demons.

These great demons were all quite intelligent; as long as they got used to the spiritual pills, the Ye family's cultivators would have an easier time contracting with them in the future.

After all, there was the precedent of the Mammoth Demon King.

Even the Gold Tempering Essence Fruit, Ye Jingcheng could give priority to those Mammoth Long Tusks in the Sand Sea.

After all, they also belonged to the Mammoth Demon King's subordinates.

After all this was dealt with, Ye Jingcheng returned to the underground palace and began testing the teleportation array.

After he used the Mountain Swallowing Rat to test it once, before long, the spiritual light lit up again.

Two people quickly appeared on the teleportation array.

These two were Ye Xueliang and Ye Haiyu.

The former was a spirit insect master, and the latter was a formation master. Now that both had broken through to the Violet Palace stage, it was time to consolidate their cultivation and practice secret techniques. They could just be responsible for guarding the teleportation array here.

"Jingcheng, where is this?"

"Grand Uncle, Grand Aunt, this is the Valley of Long Tusks, the Mammoth Demon King's territory. This is currently the safest teleportation location!" Ye Jingcheng cupped his fists and said.

Ye Xueliang and Ye Haiyu immediately nodded.

They had both been on Hidden Peak in the Taihang Mountains before, so they naturally knew the location of the Valley of Long Tusks. As soon as the two came out, one was responsible for setting up the formation, and the other was responsible for releasing the Black Earth Scorpion to patrol the Valley of Long Tusks and monitor the surrounding area.

Their movements were more familiar than Ye Jingcheng's; he didn't need to say any precautions at all.

Before leaving, they also gave Ye Jingcheng a storage bag.

Inside were some treasures that Ye Haicheng wanted Ye Jingcheng to release at the auction.

Ye Jingcheng glanced at it. In addition to the usual spiritual herbs, there were also two portions of Earthly Fiend Qi and Heavenly Astral Qi.

Clearly, Ye Haicheng meant to make the auction even more lively.

Ye Jingcheng paused, then nodded.

He naturally knew what Ye Haicheng meant; he was clearly somewhat worried that the Ye family in the Central Domain might be obstructed, or even let a wolf into the house.

So he wanted the Ye family to develop even better on Lingyun Peak.

For the older generation of cultivators, they were indeed more willing to be cautious.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng bid farewell to Ye Xueliang and Ye Haiyu and headed towards Crimson Cloud Ridge.

He hadn't planned to participate in the auction before; after handing the Longevity Peach to Mo Dao Zhenren, he had planned to go to the Central Domain.

But now that the Ye family had given him more treasures, and the auction's value had increased, Ye Jingcheng had no choice but to secretly set up camp.

Otherwise, if the treasures were stolen, it would be a disgrace to the entire Ye family.

Revitalizing Taihang Square City would undoubtedly become a joke.

The reason for going to Crimson Cloud Ridge.

One was that the Three-Eyed Demon King and the Thunder Roc Demon King had been left to their own devices for too long and needed to be taught a lesson.

Secondly, he also wanted to see if there were any treasures in the areas of the two great demon kings.

These demon races made too little use of treasures; like the Mammoth Demon King, many spiritual herbs in Elephant Valley were actually wasted.

Some spiritual herbs were also incompatible with their attributes; eating them would only fill their stomachs and wouldn't have much effect.

At the same time, Ye Jingcheng could also go to the territories of the two great demon kings and gradually change the minds of these great demons with spiritual pills!

…

Several days passed again.

Lingyun Peak, Ye Jingcheng's courtyard, Ye Jingcheng opened his eyes.

He couldn't help but mutter:

"There are really a lot of spiritual herbs in these demon king areas. It seems that it's time to establish an exchange system within the demon race in the future!"

Ye Jingcheng went to Crimson Cloud Ridge and Cloud Lion Ridge; there were many spiritual herbs in both demon king territories. The former had many Blood Flame Crystals, and the latter had many Crimson Lion Flowers.

The Crimson Lion Flower was also an extremely good fire-attributed spiritual herb; those over two hundred years old could even be considered fourth-rank spiritual herbs.

Even those that were not old enough could be considered third-rank spiritual herbs.

If placed in the square city, each plant would cost at least ten thousand spirit stones.

Ye Jingcheng exchanged them for spiritual pills, but only needed some top-grade second-rank Spirit Nurturing Pills.

Relatively speaking, it was extremely cost-effective.

After all, the demon race didn't know the difference between spiritual pills and spiritual herbs.

In addition, they were still spirit beasts of the Ye family, which could be considered cultivating spirit beasts for his own family. The spiritual pills were not wasted, which was definitely a great deal for the Ye family.

After all, the Ye family didn't dare to invade these demon king territories now, especially after learning that there was a demon saint.

Ye Jingcheng was now much more careful when entering and leaving the Taihang Mountains.

Ye Jingcheng pondered for a moment, but saw a spiritual light coming from outside the house.

It was a jade talisman that flew over, sent by Ye Jingyu.

Clearly, today was the day agreed upon with Mo Dao Zhenren.

He had to send the Longevity Spiritual Peach.

Ye Jingyu had previously used Ye Jingcheng's identity to get it, but now that Ye Jingcheng had arrived, it was naturally better for Ye Jingcheng to go.

After looking at it, Ye Jingcheng headed towards the mountain range he had been to before.

Soon, Ye Jingcheng entered it and saw Mo Dao Zhenren.

Mo Dao Zhenren couldn't help but show a hint of doubt in his eyes when he saw Ye Jingcheng coming.

He always felt that today's Ye Jingcheng was somewhat different.

"Senior Mo Dao, this spiritual peach is already ripe. Senior can take it now!" Ye Jingcheng waved his hands and flew out a jade box.

Inside the jade box were two Longevity Spiritual Peaches.

Mo Dao Zhenren took the spiritual peach, glanced at it, and nodded.

"Not bad, it is indeed a Longevity Spiritual Peach!"

In his opinion, it was even more full of vitality and spiritual energy than he had imagined!

Mo Dao Zhenren then added:

"However, let me remind you, you must be careful of the auction. There should be someone who wants to harm you!"
