The cave was large, and the deeper he went, the more spacious it felt.
Inside lingered a pungent, fishy sll.
Ye Jingcheng didn’t dismiss his sense of taste; for cultivators, the six senses are crucial and can even be a matter of life and death in dire situations. By contrast, these unpleasant slls seed trivial.
There were no demon beasts inside, which made Ye Jingcheng feel more relaxed.
However, he also understood that if there were demon beasts, they would have already charged out as soon as he entered the cave.
In the cave, a lot of dry grass was piled up, forming a nest. This dry grass was evidently so dried spirit grass, still carrying notable spiritual light.
It seed that a particularly ticulous demon beast resided here.
Ye Jingcheng also collected the dry grass into his storage bag, then looked towards the end of the cave, where the Red Fla Fox and several Five Poison Bees had already landed.
Ye Jingcheng finally saw the so-called treasure.
It was a Three-star Red Cloud Ginseng, easily recognizable by its leaves with fire patterns, which were shaped no differently from ordinary ginseng leaves.
At present, this Three-star Red Cloud Ginseng had ten leaves, indicating at least a thousand years of dicinal efficacy.
Moreover, the star brilliance on these leaves made Ye Jingcheng estimate an efficacy of at least fifteen hundred years.
Such a plant could be considered a Tier Three Spiritual dicine, able to serve as a foundational resource for a Foundation Establishnt Clan.
After all, if a fire attribute cultivator were to breakthrough to the Purple Mansion stage, even consuming this Three-star Red Cloud Ginseng might slightly increase their chance of success.
For alchemy masters like Ye Jingcheng, it could be refined into Tier Three fire attribute spirit pills.
Ye Jingcheng carefully extracted the Red Cloud Ginseng.
Once the Red Cloud Ginseng was excavated, treasure light shot into the sky, spiritual energy overflowing, its age matching his estimation closely.
With its unique star points, it had miraculous effects for both body cultivators and fire attribute cultivators.
He suspected the demon beast here wanted to use the Red Cloud Ginseng for a realm breakthrough but was holding back from consuming it just yet.
In fact, the owner here could even be a great demon.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to protect such a Three-star Red Cloud Ginseng.
After collecting the Three-star Red Cloud Ginseng, Ye Jingcheng examined the soil and packed quite a bit into a jade box.
Securing both the spiritual dicine and soil together in the jade box, he then sealed it with spirit talismans.
Next, he continued to collect Fire Patterned Sinking Iron, noting that while there was more Fire Patterned Sinking Iron here, the quality hadn’t increased.
After collecting for half an hour, more than thirty pieces of Fire Patterned Sinking Iron stood before Ye Jingcheng.
His excavation speed then slowed considerably.
This was not a rich mine, just a small one.
Even so, Ye Jingcheng had made ample gains.
Ye Jingcheng saw this and picked up another twenty or so pieces of Fire Patterned Sinking Iron, and then placed the Red Cloud Ginseng into the Stone Spirit Grotto Heaven.
Next, he began to retract the array disc, recovering the array, and after completing the task, he called to the Ye Clan mbers in the distance.
At this point, the ore vein had beco much poorer, and staying here held no further value.
But for those Qi Cultivation cultivators of the Ye Clan, the chance to mine here was undoubtedly a huge opportunity.
After all, if they could kill a Tier One Spirit Beast, one Fire Patterned Sinking Iron could be equivalent to slaying seven or eight beasts.
And mining carried no risk.
"Jingcheng!"
From afar, Ye Jingli and Ye Jingyong were the first to arrive.
Ye Jingli looked sowhat pained, having lost two spirit beasts, leaving him in a foul mood.
Ye Jingyong, on the other hand, was sowhat better off.
"What’s here..."
"Second brother, this is a Fire Patterned Sinking Iron ore vein. You can arrange cultivators skilled in earth attribute spiritual techniques here, it’s better than them mining alone!" Ye Jingcheng spoke up.
Then he arranged for the clansn to continue excavating as he led a group comprising a majority of the Five Poison Bees, the Golden Scale Beast, and the Red Fla Fox. He continued towards Chixia Ridge.
Considering how many great demon cave mansions there were, just finding one or two more would be imnsely profitable.
Ye Jingcheng felt slightly moved at this mont. Thanks to the Five Poison Bees’ exploration, his haul this ti was exceptionally good.
"Jingcheng, co over to , I have a demon beast cub here!" Just as Ye Jingcheng reinforced himself with Gale Skill spirit talisman and sped forward, his divine sense also sensed Ye Xingliu, who imdiately transmitted his voice.
Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng quickly made his way over and saw another cave before him.
However, this cave was empty, with a huge Golden Rhinoceros and a Golden Rhinoceros cub inside.
The adult Golden Rhinoceros was guarding the cave to the death.
Even though Ye Xingliu employed nurous ans and released his Jade-eyed Golden-eyed Tiger, he couldn’t defeat the Golden Rhinoceros, and a stalemate ensued at the cave’s entrance. Ye Xingliu dared not take any drastic action.
Both Golden Rhinoceroses were Tier Two peak when mature, but with recent childbirth, their strength was greatly diminished.
Looking at the small Golden Rhinoceros, the Treasure Book within him began to glow.
To his surprise, the small Golden Rhinoceros could potentially advance three tis.
This ant that with proper nurturing, the Golden Rhinoceros could grow into a Golden Core Demon King.
No wonder Ye Xingliu was extrely eager at this mont, recognizing the small Golden Rhinoceros’s formidable talent.
He was worried that delay would result in unforeseen consequences.
Ye Jingcheng imdiately released the Eternal Green Sword.
As the Eternal Green Sword was activated, it transford into a sword aura over ten feet long, instantly piercing towards the neck of the Golden Rhinoceros.
However, a golden light barrier appeared, blocking the sword, which soon shattered. But the Golden Rhinoceros fiercely butted and sent Ye Jingcheng’s Eternal Green Sword flying.
Ye Jingcheng practiced the Earth Spike Skill next, stabbing at the belly of the Golden Rhinoceros.
This ti, it struck solidly, causing the Golden Rhinoceros quite a bit of pain. But what surprised Ye Jingcheng was that despite the Earth Spike Skill being strengthened by the spiritual energy from the Golden Scale Beast, it only pierced an inch deep.
And this was the belly.
It was enough to demonstrate the great courage of the Golden Rhinoceros.
Moreover, if the Ye family could possess this small Golden Rhinoceros, with the body cultivation communication beast, it would be terrifying.
Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xingliu were both rather excited.
Both took out multiple magical artifacts, aiming to wear down the Golden Rhinoceros.
"Jingcheng, must be quicker!" Seeing the Golden Rhinoceros on the verge of death, Ye Xingliu was still unsatisfied and took out spirit talismans at this mont.
He was about to quickly slay the Golden Rhinoceros.
But as fate would have it, what one worries about often cos to pass. In the distance, several figures rushed over; these figures were Xu Family cultivators, alongside Foundation Establishnt cultivators from the Kong Family.
Though Xu Family’s icy cultivator wasn’t present, the Kong Family’s Foundation Establishnt cultivators were more troubleso.
And the fact that they ca directly suggested ulterior motives.
"This Golden Rhinoceros was discovered by and Xu Family’s Xu Wenchang together." Ye Xingliu’s face was extrely grim, and the spirit talisman was instantly thrown.
It was a Tier Two Golden Sword Talisman, belonging to Tier Two high-grade spirit talismans.
Coupled with Ye Jingcheng’s Eternal Green Sword, they finally slew the Golden Rhinoceros.
With a bang, it collapsed into the cave.
Ye Xingliu gave Ye Jingcheng a glance, indicating he should enter the cave, while he blocked the entrance.
Nonetheless, despite this, the opposing side spoke up.
"Ye Daoist, this Golden Rhinoceros Great Demon has been slain by our family’s Purple Mansion. Could you let us have this small Golden Rhinoceros?" The speaker was a young Kong Family cultivator, who produced a giant spirit foot of a Golden Rhinoceros.
Evidently, it was from a recently slain Golden Rhinoceros Great Demon.
Ye Jingcheng recognized this Kong Family Foundation Establishnt cultivator. His na was Kong Guangyun, a rare talent among the younger generation of the Kong Family, barely over sixty and at the peak of mid-stage Foundation Establishnt. Reportedly, he was also a dual spirit roots cultivator, highly regarded in the Kong Family.
His spirit roots happened to be gold and water dual spirit roots.
Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xingliu remained silent.
At this mont, they were naturally unwilling.
"This spirit beast was discovered by Xu Daoist and Ye Daoist together, sharing representation on both sides, and both parents of this Golden Rhinoceros cub were individually slain by us, thus sharing another side representation!"
"I have two thousand spirit stones here. Ye Daoist, could you please yield?"
