Chapter 823: Chapter 589: Purple Bull Flower, Black Sand Ant (Two-in-One, Seeking Monthly Ticket)
The Celestial Poison Swamp, where dense clouds gather, and sunlight is hidden.
The constant chirping of insects fills the air, marking the peak of summer and their high season.
At this moment, three cultivators landed outside the poisonous miasma.
They took out their Jade Talismans, compared notes, and then nodded in agreement.
These three were none other than Ye Jingcheng, who had joined Ye Jingyu, Ye Haige, and Ye Haisheng.
However, apart from Ye Xuefan, Ye Jingcheng, and Ye Haicheng outside, the rest were inside Turtle Ancestor’s Grotto Heaven.
Though the Celestial Poison Swamp has no clear ownership, during normal times, many disciples from the Qinghe Sect come here to collect spirit insects or poison attribute spirit medicines.
These cultivators mostly gather in small groups of three or four, while those in groups of seven or eight, or even more than ten, are rare.
Typically, when many people appear or an entire family comes treasure hunting, it inevitably means they have a target for treasure, which very easily gets noticed by others, even stalked.
For most who come to the swamp seeking treasure, they definitely possess courage; once they spot an opportunity, the likelihood of them taking action is high.
Although the Ye Family’s luxurious line-up this time fears no such situation,
ultimately, it’s better not to have extra complications, given that the three of them are disguised as Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
“Truly, it’s the Celestial Poison Swamp, the miasma permeates the air, forming a black haze that won’t disperse. Even at the peak temperature of summer, the miasma is absolutely not going away!” Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but marvel at this moment.
Unlike Ye Haicheng and Ye Xuefan, it’s his first time coming to this Celestial Poison Swamp.
At this moment, he glanced up at the sky, those thick clouds entirely blocking out the blazing sun.
And it’s known that presently, at the summer solstice, outside the Celestial Poison Swamp, it’s sunshine and clear skies!
Yet in front of them, even at times when the swamp’s miasma is weakest, the poisonous haze is still pervasive, with extremely low visibility.
Moreover, this kind of miasma necessitates the use of protective spiritual shields for any ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator entering.
And Qi Cultivation Cultivators, without special Antitoxic Pills, would find it incredibly difficult to move through, even if they were in the late stage, body cultivators might not be able to withstand it.
Simultaneously, within this place, divine senses are severely restricted.
Outside the miasma, Ye Jingcheng’s divine sense could cover thousands of feet, but inside, it only extends ten feet around, more than ten times weaker than outside.
“This poisonous miasma definitely isn’t ordinary; there should be a Yin Vein below!” Ye Xuefan commented.
After speaking, he took out the pre-prepared Tier Three Ming Qing Pill, a pill specifically effective against the miasma.
With this pill held in one’s mouth, even the densest miasma in the central area wouldn’t pose any threat to the three.
After distributing the pills, Ye Xuefan turned to Ye Jingcheng:
“Jingcheng, take out your Five Poison Bees for a look. We’ve already tried with the Black Armored Scorpion. It’s evidently not suitable here!” Ye Xuefan and Ye Haicheng had clearly come here many times, even borrowing Ye Xueliang and Ye Xuefu’s Black Armored Scorpions.
But obviously, not all poisonous insects can adapt to the miasma environment here.
The Ye Family, wanting to play it safe and monopolize the Tier Three Secret Realm, must ensure monitoring, making it necessary to have insect surveillance.
Ye Jingcheng didn’t hesitate; he pressed his hand forward, and from the Spirit Beast Bag, seventy or eighty Five Poison Bees flew out.
These Five Poison Bees were now larger than before, even Ye Haicheng couldn’t help but show a surprised expression.
Because the bees bred by Ye Jingcheng before were not so large.
But in fact, Ye Jingcheng’s Five Poison Bees had gone through many rounds of elimination; the remaining ones all had excellent talent nurtured by Ye Jingcheng.
Many had reached Tier Two, and were quite large.
Among them was one six-color bee; yet for Ye Jingcheng, even the six-color bee was no longer worth raising.
As the few poisonous bees entered the miasma, they began to buzz louder.
Even more lively and excited than before.
Ye Jingcheng sensed the joyful emotional waves emanating from the Five Poison Bees.
“Grandfather, Fourth Uncle, the Five Poison Bees are fine, and this miasma seems to help the evolution of their tail stingers!” Ye Jingcheng transmitted.
Ye Xuefan and Ye Haicheng nodded in agreement.
“Let’s head in!”
The trio proceeded along the pre-discussed route, and as Ye Xuefan walked, he stamped his foot.
Ye Jingcheng sensed a layer of spiritual light entering the earth.
But soon, he couldn’t sense anything anymore.
He understood that Ye Xuefan had activated an array.
Yet precisely because of this, he was more astounded; though he was at the middle stage of Purple Mansion, his divine sense had the strength of the late stage.
Even though Ye Xuefan was at the late stage of Purple Mansion, under normal circumstances, he should still be able to perceive something.
This could only mean one thing: Ye Xuefan’s expertise in arrays was potentially stronger than he had imagined.
The three continued to advance slowly.
Entering the Poisonous Miasma Swamp, they became more cautious.
They carefully chose sturdier ground to tread upon.
Simultaneously, they controlled their weight to be incredibly light, practically walking on water.
After all, this was a swamp.
Even if there were plants, stepping hard might result in sinking.
The rules of the outside world may not apply here.
Also, beneath the swamp, demon beasts and demon insects might exist.
Within, although Tier Three Great Demons are few, it’s not to say they don’t exist.
Besides, since they’re disguised as Foundation Establishment Cultivators, concealing their identity is crucial; outside the miasma, others might be present, and the Ye Family members wouldn’t want to be exposed.
Naturally, it required extra caution.
“Grandfather, seems there’s also a Purple Bull Flower here!” Ye Jingcheng suddenly exclaimed with delight.
