Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 824: Chapter 589: Purple Bull Flower and Black Sand Ant (Double-Length)

He used the Five Poison Bees to clear the path, but didn’t expect them to bring back the exhilarating news of the Poison Flowers.

It is currently summer, and blooming Spirit Medicines are not scarce.

Yet, in the Celestial Poison Swamp, these Spirit Flowers are mostly Poison Flowers.

The information from the Five Poison Bees suggested it might be the Purple Bull Flower.

This Spirit Flower is the main ingredient for refining Purple Illusion Pills and is also a Tier Three Spiritual Medicine.

It is extremely rare in the outside world.

This Purple Illusion Pill is a Tier Three Illusion Breaking Spirit Pill.

Although the value of the Purple Illusion Pill isn’t particularly high, it can break illusions, potentially having a miraculous effect at critical moments.

“No rush, we can go look for it!” Ye Xuefan nodded in agreement.

They are getting familiar with the Celestial Poison Swamp, which is crucial for their upcoming exploration. Although it’s the summer solstice, the miasma hasn’t weakened to its lowest yet.

The second point is to release the Five Poison Bees, forming a map of the Ye Family’s bee influence in the swamp.

This area has a limited range for Divine Sense, so if a large number of Five Poison Bees are killed, it could attract strong cultivators.

The Ye Family must be prepared for this possibility.

The group headed towards a nearby small black lake.

Ye Jingcheng couldn’t tell if the lake water was truly black, but with the miasma surrounding it, it certainly deserved the title of Black Lake.

Beside the lake, there was a Five Poison Bee continuously swirling above a cluster of dark purple Spirit Flowers.

These were the Purple Bull Flowers, shaped like trumpets but slightly curved, resembling the horns of water buffalo.

“Swoosh!”

At this moment, the sound of something tearing through the air resonated, and Ye Jingcheng promptly unleashed several Golden Sword Skills.

Instantly, he slashed through the sounds tearing through the air.

When the Golden Sword Skill landed, it revealed three inch-long Black Poison Frogs.

These Black Poison Frogs were completely covered in highly toxic venom, posing a significant problem even for Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

However, the physical strength of the Black Poison Frogs was not strong. After Ye Jingcheng killed them, he collected all the toxic venom into a Jade Bottle.

The venom of these Black Poison Frogs is worth a significant amount even externally.

However, their frog eggs are not necessary, as they cannot be raised without the toxic environment here.

Ye Jingcheng then proceeded to collect all the remaining Purple Bull Flowers.

The medicinal properties of Purple Bull Flowers are concentrated in the petals. They require a toxic environment for growth, and since Ye Jingcheng couldn’t provide such an environment, he didn’t plan to transplant them.

Once the Purple Bull Flowers were secured, he continued moving forward.

In this manner, Ye Jingcheng and his group found quite a few Poison Flowers, including Tier One, Tier Two, and even Tier Three Poison Flowers.

The further they ventured, the greater the chances of encountering Tier Three Poison Flowers.

Moreover, the trio began encountering some Tier Two poison bugs, and on one occasion, Ye Jingcheng even spotted a Tier Three Black Water Scorpion.

This Black Water Scorpion Great Demon was not slain by Ye Jingcheng.

Though he could kill a Tier Three Black Water Scorpion Great Demon without exhausting much of his strength.

The fluctuations of a significant battle would easily attract notice.

Divine Sense and Eye Power were ineffective here, but sound was less impacted.

For the Ye Family at present, safely entering the Pill Desolate Secret Realm was good enough.

In this way, two days passed as the Ye Family trio traversed the swamp.

Not only did they set up the Five Poison Bees efficiently, but they also managed to thoroughly investigate how many cultivators were present in the Celestial Poison Swamp.

The range of the Celestial Poison Swamp isn’t small. Ye Jingcheng estimated, it’s likely no smaller than the original territory of the Ye Family.

Even with a Purple Mansion Cultivator flying at full speed, it would likely take several hours.

This, for the Ye Family, was good news. The larger the area, the less likely the Secret Realm would be exposed.

“Ahead should be the Black Jade Stele!” Ye Jingcheng suddenly spoke up.

Before them, about ten or so yards away, there loomed a small hill with a block of ebony-colored rock resting upon it.

Yet everything seemed extraordinarily ordinary, as if it were just a regular hill and a mundane black stone.

But now, a key in Ye Jingcheng’s hand began emitting a weak glow.

“Be cautious, the Pill Desolate once nurtured Black Sand Ants. If this truly is the Pill Desolate Secret Realm, there are definitely traces of Black Sand Ants!” Ye Xuefan whispered suddenly.

His words left Ye Jingcheng somewhat surprised, as he had certainly heard of Black Sand Ants.

Though named after black sand, these Spirit Ants could be classified as Fog Ants.

They are akin to Black Fog.

Extremely difficult to discern, they can emit black poisonous fog, which corrodes Spiritual Light.

Moreover, Black Sand Ants can infiltrate cultivators’ bodies and lethally harm them or other life forms from the inside.

The best strategy against Black Sand Ants is to use Wind Attribute Secret Techniques to disperse the black fog, followed by Fire Attribute Secret Techniques to burn the Black Sand Ants.

Currently, Black Sand Ants are hidden in the miasma, making them even harder to detect.

Especially with the severely limited range of Divine Sense.

Upon witnessing this, Ye Jingcheng immediately released the White-Browed Cyan Wolf.

Seeing the Wind Attribute White-Browed Cyan Wolf, both Ye Xuefan and Ye Haicheng raised their eyebrows.

Evidently, they were unaware of when Ye Jingcheng had acquired another Wind Wolf, resembling the Cyan Wind Demon King from Cyan Wind Wolf Plain.

“This is…”

“Obtained by chance, though not sure if it’s a descendant of the Cyan Wind Wolf King!” Ye Jingcheng didn’t intend to hide the truth, but he genuinely didn’t know if it was a descendant.

After all, this White-Browed Cyan Wolf was captured by the Nine Rivers Ascendant.

“Do not capture the Black Sand Ants yet, just drive them away!” Ye Xuefan clearly noticed something, and at this moment, Ye Jingcheng planned to capture some.

His Divine Sense was not weak, and he had already discovered small insects scattered in the air.

These insects moved extremely fast within the poisonous fog!

“There are quite a few aware of the Black Sand Ants’ presence.”

“And the limitations of the Black Sand Ants are significant!”

Ye Xuefan added.

It was clear he was concerned that the disappearance of Black Sand Ants might alert other cultivators in the swamp.

And the limitations were indeed one factor.

However, for Ye Jingcheng, he had noticed several Black Sand Ants with Three-Layered Spiritual Light.

This sparked his interest.

But with Ye Xuefan’s suggestion, Ye Jingcheng decided not to persist.

He motioned the Wind Wolf to touch the void.

Instantly, it was as though a shallow ripple formed on the surface of a lake, spreading in all directions.

This spreading was none other than Qing Feng.

The Black Sand Ants were blown away from the proximity of the three individuals, even the miasma dissipated slightly.

This scene was more astonishing because the White-Browed Cyan Wolf hadn’t caused much disturbance, yet a single tap of its wolf claw created such power.

It demonstrated the White-Browed Cyan Wolf’s control over Wind Attribute Spiritual Power.

The three of them didn’t delay, and with Ye Xuefan’s arrangement of an Array, they arrived at the top of the hill, facing the stone stele.

As the key shimmered, it automatically fell towards the stone stele.

Finally merging as one, a hidden cave entrance suddenly appeared in front of the hill, seemingly appearing out of thin air.

“Interesting, it seems someone utilized Natural Array, this Array reached the Tier Five level!” Ye Xuefan murmured, as an Array Master, he clearly noticed something.

No wonder this Pill Desolate Secret Realm has never been found.

After all, Nascent Soul cultivators don’t venture into the Celestial Poison Swamp, and Golden Core cultivators wouldn’t detect it without a key.

The three and the wolf entered.

They noticed that as they walked, the path behind them would disappear instantly.

At this moment, they were all stupefied because their Divine Sense saw nothing, it felt as though they were walking on an ethereal stairway, incredibly profound.

After a quarter of an hour, they reached the depths of the cave, where a stone stele identical to the one outside stood.

A key was placed upon that stone stele.

Ye Jingcheng took the key, and the path behind them vanished completely.

Simultaneously, the hall’s setup changed again, and a Secret Realm Gate appeared at the cave’s top.

Spiritual Energy continuously emanated from this gate.

“No need to leave anyone behind, no one can follow us inside this Tier Five Array!” Ye Xuefan spoke.

Regarding the Tier Three Secret Realm, the two weren’t very confident, since the highest combat power of the Tier Three Secret Realm could only reach Purple Mansion competence, and although Ye Xuefan was Late Stage of Purple Mansion, Ye Haicheng and Ye Jingcheng currently were only Middle Stage of Purple Mansion.

But they didn’t yet know how many Tier Three Wood Demons there might be inside.
