North of the Taihang Market, here lies a stretch of continuous Cyan Mountains.
In a deserted hill, a Cyan-Scaled Python covered in thorn armor swiftly wriggled across the grassland.
And just behind the Cyan-Scaled Python, suddenly, spike after spike appeared, stabbing at the Cyan-Scaled Python!
Some of these earth spikes were a dense series, like a low Earth Spike Array, while others were towering spikes, like a five-foot-long Stone Sword!
Though agile, the Cyan-Scaled Python could not escape the densely packed Earth Spike Array.
Moreover, once the Earth Spike Array struck, the towering Earth Spikes would immediately follow up.
Crashing against the thorn and scale armor of the Cyan-Scaled Python.
The Cyan-Scaled Python opened its mouth howling, its body began to churn on the grassland.
The earth spikes finally stopped. A young figure walked out one after another, looking at the cracks that appeared on the thorn armor of the Cyan-Scaled Python, with no distress in his eyes, but rather joy.
"Jingcheng, your training method really works!" Ye Jingli turned around and spoke.
Beside him, Ye Jingcheng also stepped out, along with the majestic Golden Scale Beast. At this moment, the entire body of the Golden Scale Beast shone even more, each scale was a glittering golden color.
In the sunlight, it was even difficult to look at directly.
With eyes full of confidence, now, it felt that even against that old foe, the Red Fox, it could fight a battle.
"Indeed, there’s quite an improvement!" Ye Jingcheng also nodded, stroking the scales on the forehead of the Golden Scale Beast.
The Golden Scale Beast excitedly stamped the ground twice, then let out a low roar, seemingly in response to Ye Jingcheng’s praise.
Having suffered, it had now mastered the Earth Spike Array and the Earth Spike Triple Shot.
The Earth Spike Array was an area densely covered with two-foot-long earth spikes, capable of causing indiscriminate coverage to spirit beasts or cultivators on the ground.
The Earth Spike Triple Shot, on the other hand, was now six-foot long and could be fired three times in succession.
Even the thorn armor prepared by Ye Jingli might not be able to withstand it.
After all, the thorn armor mainly covered the top, and for the massive Cyan-Scaled Python, its belly needed to wriggle forward, so the thorn armor covering it was relatively weak!
This feature pleased both of them because, in the Jade Dragon Valley, most demon beasts also had a weaker belly. With the Golden Scale Beast, they could perform a bit better than others.
"Brother Liu, I’ll give you the spirit stones for repairing the thorn armor!" Ye Jingcheng glanced at the thorn armor on the stomach of the Cyan-Scaled Python and said.
If not for the Cyan-Scaled Python, finding a better sparring partner would be tough.
And this was already the second full month of Ye Jingcheng’s special training for the Golden Scale Beast.
"Jingcheng, no need for that. My Cyan-Scaled Python has also improved a lot these days, and I feel like its size has increased quite a bit!"
"It seems that spirit beasts do need a lot of magical combat and exercise, unlike us cultivators who specialize in long-range combat!" Ye Jingli waved his hand, still declining.
These days, Ye Jingcheng had also fed his Cyan-Scaled Python many spirit pills, which were equally valuable.
As they were discussing, a wave of Divine Soul suddenly came to Ye Jingcheng!
Ye Jingcheng was immediately delighted because it was transmitted from the Red Flame Fox, and through the Beast Communication Pattern, he noticed that the fire attribute spiritual power within him increased in abundance and purity, something he had never witnessed before.
When he cultivated, it would increase his cultivation speed further.
Moreover, the Treasure Book within him, the page depicting the Red Flame Fox, also began to change. Follow current novels on N0velFire.ɴet
He could vaguely see on the Treasure Book, a crimson Fire Fox emerging from the flames, its four claws becoming more slender, its fur redder like fire!
And at its tail, two tails swayed in the wind like two big flames!
This was clearly the breakthrough scene of the Red Flame Fox transmitted to Ye Jingcheng through the Treasure Book!
And not just that, the pill formula in the Treasure Book also began to change. This time, there appeared even more spirit medicine!
There were Red Li Fruit, Celestial Mist Grass, Red Li Flower...
A full hundred kinds of spirit medicine appeared, three to four times more than the previous Red Flame Pill.
More crucially, several of the spirit medicines were Tier Two Spiritual Medicines.
Each required thousands of spirit stones.
There were even quite a few spirit medicines that Ye Jingcheng couldn’t name.
Obviously, this pill formula was at least Tier Two Middle Grade, possibly even Tier Two High-grade!
And the spirit shadow of the Red Flame Fox started to turn gray again, the spirit fox displayed turned into a Three-tailed Spirit Fox.
This indicated that consuming this spirit pill might allow the Red Flame Fox’s bloodline to advance further.
"Let’s go back!" Ye Jingcheng quickly suggested and began to pack up the array.
"Jingcheng, did Uncle send you a transmission?" Ye Jingli was a bit puzzled, thinking only of this possibility, but he followed Ye Jingcheng in packing the array.
"My spirit beast broke through!" Ye Jingcheng did not hide the fact that the Red Flame Fox was breaking through.
"Broke through again?" This scene also made Ye Jingli a bit puzzled because, as far as he was concerned, the Red Flame Fox hadn’t been at the late stage of Tier One for long.
But as soon as Ye Jingcheng said that, Ye Jingli’s eyes filled with envy.
Looking at the Cyan-Scaled Python, he felt it was not worth it, realizing that he could have chosen the Red Flame Fox before Ye Jingcheng.
"Jingcheng, help me choose a spirit beast next time too!" Ye Jingli added.
"No problem!" Ye Jingcheng nodded. Indeed, he could choose from many spirit beasts due to his Treasure Book Atlas, which lit up with spirit beasts having talent. Although he cultivated the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture, he estimated that four spirit beasts were his limit, and for other spirit beasts, he planned to keep some functional types only.
Upon hearing Ye Jingcheng’s response, Ye Jingli hastened his pace in packing the array.
After clearing the array, they boarded Ye Jingcheng’s Spiritual Ship and slowly flew towards the market.
The market was still bustling today, and at the Ye Family Shop, there were quite a few cultivators rushing to buy spirit medicines.
The Taiyi Sect was developing Jade Dragon Valley, families and affiliated forces were leading the charge as cannon fodder, but during the actual clearing, each family would hire some loose cultivators, offering substantial benefits to involve them.
So now, most loose cultivators were preparing spirit talismans and spirit pills in advance to ensure they could benefit from this clearing and expansion.
Upon arriving at the backyard, Ye Jingcheng soon saw Ye Xinghe standing outside his door.
"Uncle!" Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingli hurriedly saluted.
"Your Red Flame Fox broke through again?" At this moment, Ye Xinghe looked exactly like Ye Jingli, having witnessed the Red Flame Fox’s break through before.
"Indeed, it broke through!" Ye Jingcheng nodded and opened the door, only to see a more robust and slender crimson Spirit Fox leap right before him!
It was as red as a fiercely burning flame.
Only the two sky-blue eyes allowed everyone to identify it as a spirit beast fox.
The two giant tails waved in the air, dazzling to the eyes.
In their movement, the temperature of the entire inner courtyard rose significantly.
The spirit pattern on its forehead had entirely transformed into a burning flame, which was quite a surprise for Ye Jingcheng.
And observing its cultivation status, it had recently broken through again, still at the late stage of Tier One, but equivalent to a cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer!
