Chapter 108 Golden-backed Giant Ape [5K]
In response, Ye Linyuan just smiled, then stood up and looked at the island in front of him.
Seeing this, Old Man Ye also stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with him, looking at the island and said, "The spiritual energy on this island is rising. It looks like there must be some demon beasts in the late stage of Qi training."
Ye Linyuan nodded and said directly: "It is a bit dangerous in the sea at night. Let's take this island first, so that we can recover our magic power here."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded immediately, and after a short rest, they steered the treasure ship towards the island ahead.
Not long after, they found a suitable anchorage to stop the Lingfeng, and then landed on this small island which was only about 20 miles in radius.
"The island is not big, but the concentration of spiritual energy is not low."
After landing on the island, Ye Qinyang couldn't help but frown slightly, revealing a trace of solemnity.
Old Man Ye also nodded, and then said, "Be careful, the monsters on the island should have discovered me."
"boom--"
At this moment, a loud roar suddenly came from the distance, and then a huge rock fell towards everyone from a cliff not far away.
Old Man Ye reacted immediately, and swung the Chixu Sword, splitting the rock into pieces on the spot.
But at the same time, a golden giant ape over ten feet tall swooped down from the top of the mountain, grabbing a black iron stick and smashing towards everyone.
"evil creature!"
Old Man Ye suddenly shouted angrily, raised the Chixu sword and chopped it out fiercely, knocking the golden giant ape back on the spot.
This made Ye Linyuan slightly stunned. Old man Ye practiced a superior foundation-building technique, and his main skill was the most domineering way of gold and fire. His combat power was no weaker than that of a weaker Qi-training master, but when facing the golden giant ape, he only had a slight advantage.
"Golden-backed giant ape, a different species of the demon ape clan."
Looking at the golden-backed giant ape in front of him, Ye Linyuan's brows couldn't help but slightly tighten, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
As a mutated giant ape with dual attributes of gold and earth, the golden-backed giant ape's qualifications are equivalent to the dual spiritual roots among humans. Its physical strength is extremely domineering, and if there is enough opportunity, it may even transform into a first-level rare bloodline.
The most important thing is that Ye Linyuan has in his hands a complete set of methods to cultivate the golden-backed giant ape.
The method of cultivating the golden-backed giant ape was obtained by Ye Linyuan after he killed a Jindan cultivator who was good at taming beasts.
It contains the key methods for the Golden-backed Giant Ape to advance, the demon cultivation techniques needed for practice, and the formula for spiritual pills needed for breeding. If used together, these can greatly increase the probability of the Golden-backed Giant Ape advancing to the foundation-building stage or even the golden elixir stage.
The most important thing is that the golden-backed giant ape is not very intelligent, but it is considered to be a leader among the Qi-cultivating monsters. It has a simple brain but can be tamed.
Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan immediately stopped the old man from continuing to attack, and said calmly: "Grandfather, leave this golden-backed giant ape to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Lin shook his long sleeves, and suddenly twelve formation flags flew out, trapping the golden-backed giant ape firmly inside.
This Yuanchen Water Control Flag is a water-attributed formation, which is most effective in restraining monsters like the Golden-backed Giant Ape that rely solely on its own brute force. As Ye Linyuan continued to increase his magic power, the Golden-backed Giant Ape was quickly completely suppressed after half an hour.
Seeing that the golden-backed giant ape had lost most of its strength, Ye Linyuan stepped into the formation, and then looked at the weak golden-backed giant ape and said, "I know you have a certain level of intelligence. Release your spirit and let me plant the soul seal on you, and I will spare your life."
"Ow—"
The golden-backed giant ape suddenly roared in anger, but unfortunately before it could get close to Ye Linyuan, it fell back as if it had hit an invisible wall.
Ye Linyuan was very calm about this. He said calmly, "If you don't accept it, I will beat you until you accept it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Linyuan suddenly and calmly took a step forward. In an instant, countless streams of water turned into a heavy fist and smashed down, knocking the golden-backed giant ape flying backwards on the spot.
But the golden-backed giant ape was still wild and even rushed forward again, roaring.
Ye Linyuan's eyes moved slightly, and a bright moon gathered behind his head, turning into a dazzling moon blade that slashed out and immediately slashed on the body of the golden-backed giant ape.
But what was unexpected was that this move, which was powerful enough to kill a Qi-refined master, only left a shallow scar on the body of the golden-backed giant ape.
"This kind of physical defense is not bad at all."
Ye Linyuan's eyes moved slightly, and a hint of recognition appeared in his eyes.
This golden-backed giant ape has little magic power and does not have any powerful spells, but relying solely on the advantage of its physical defense, it can burst out a combat power that is rarely seen in its class.
He then put away the Nine Sky Moon and urged the water to lift up the golden-backed giant ape. He then said calmly, "My patience is limited. You only have one chance to choose."
"Roar--"
The golden-backed giant ape wanted to roar at first, but suddenly it turned into a low humming sound.
Following his gaze, I saw Ye Linyuan with his hands behind his back, but his right hand was calmly stretched out.
And in that slender palm, a dazzling three-inch golden needle slowly floated up and down, emitting a light that could penetrate everything - the Geng Golden Needle!
The moment it saw the Geng golden needle, the golden-backed giant ape immediately let out a wail.
Compared to Jiuxiao Mingyue, who is good at group attacks and head-on confrontation, Geng Jinzhen's head-on combat power is far from enough, but it has amazing defense-breaking ability.
Even though the golden-backed giant ape had extraordinary defensive capabilities, it still felt a hint of fatal threat the moment it faced the Gengjin needle.
It could clearly feel that as long as the Gengjin needle was shot out, it would pierce through its forehead with just one encounter and kill it instantly.
In the face of an absolutely fatal crisis, the golden-backed giant ape suddenly became much more obedient. He quickly released his sea of consciousness and stopped trying to stop Ye Linyuan.
"You are quite adaptable."
Ye Linyuan smiled slightly, then flicked his sleeves to activate the seal technique, engraving a soul seal in the mind of the golden-backed giant ape.
After doing all this, Ye Linyuan immediately showed a look of satisfaction. What he engraved was the high-level soul seal secret method of the Lingshoufu lineage.
With this soul imprint engraved in the golden-backed giant ape's sea of consciousness, Ye Linyuan could destroy the golden-backed giant ape's soul in a single thought, turning it into a lifeless shell.
In order to unlock this soul seal, Ye Linyuan either has to do it himself, or he has to wait until the golden-backed giant ape's cultivation level exceeds Ye Linyuan by two major realms.
Of course, the most brilliant thing about this soul seal is that it can subtly change the mind of the spirit beast and amplify the spirit beast's affection for its master.
As time goes by, and as the spirit beast and its husband continue to cultivate feelings, the spirit beast will gradually become dependent on its owner and regard him as its own parent.
If the beast is trained for a hundred years and its master treats it sincerely and kindly, then the beast will basically not betray its master again.
Just like the Nine-bend Spirit Crane, the guardian beast of the Qinghe Immortal Sect, which is itself the spirit beast of the Qinghe Taoist, the founder of the Qinghe Immortal Sect, the two have cultivated a deep relationship over the long years.
It is also because of this that, although it has been more than a hundred years since Taoist Qinghe passed away, the Nine-Curved Spirit Crane has never abandoned the Qinghe Immortal Sect and instead stayed in the Qinghe Immortal Sect as an ancestor.
Of course, although this kind of soul seal is sophisticated, it can only be used against demons with low intelligence. If it is used against demons with extremely high intelligence, or against humans themselves, the success rate will often become extremely low.
It is also because of this that those demon tribes whose cultivation level exceeds the foundation-building stage are basically difficult to capture and turn into spirit beasts.
The high-level spirit beasts bred by the spirit beast husband basically start their cultivation from the foundation-building stage.
Let's get back to the point. After confirming that the soul seal had been planted, Ye Linyuan nodded slightly, then patted the golden-backed giant ape on the shoulder and said, "One day, you will understand that following me today is the greatest opportunity of your life."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Linyuan casually activated the Nine Skies Bright Moon to heal his injuries, and then withdrew the Yuanchen Water Control Array.
The people outside the formation watched as the formation was removed. At first, they saw that the golden-backed giant ape was still alive and were ready to help Ye Linyuan deal with it, but they were stopped by Old Man Ye who realized something was wrong.
The old man Ye hesitated a little and couldn't help asking, "This golden-backed giant ape?"
"Master taught me a method of taming beasts. This golden-backed giant ape happened to be suitable for taming, so I gave it a try."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, and then smiled and said: "Fortunately, it went smoothly and we managed to control it without any danger."
Seeing this, Old Man Ye couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
He couldn't help but look at the golden-backed giant ape, and then exclaimed: "Although this golden-backed giant ape is only at the seventh level of Qi training, its bloodline talent is extremely powerful. Its combat power is probably the best among those at the eighth level of Qi training."
"You were able to tame him, and my Ye family has gained some strength."
Ye Linyuan smiled and nodded, then looked at the golden-backed giant ape and said, "Xiao Jin, take me to see the treasures on the island." Upon seeing this, the golden-backed giant ape immediately took Ye Linyuan to the center of the island.
The island was not big, and they soon arrived at the center of the island, where lived a group of short monkeys.
These monkeys are basically ordinary monkeys, but there are also seventeen that have advanced to become golden-haired demon monkeys. Most of them have only the strength of the initial and middle stages of Qi training, and they don't have any outstanding features. The only thing worth mentioning is that their defense is slightly stronger.
The golden-backed giant ape is obviously a mutation of these golden-haired demon monkeys. It was originally supposed to be the monkey king who ruled these demon monkeys, but it transformed into the golden-backed giant ape due to a blood mutation.
At this time, the golden-backed giant ape returned. These evil monkeys did not dare to act presumptuously and were scolded and forced to retreat.
Seeing this, Chu Lingxi couldn't help but say, "These golden-haired demon apes have some intelligence. If they are tamed by a spirit beast husband, they may become spirit monkeys."
Seeing this, Zhou Yuwan couldn't help but say dangerously: "I heard that spirit monkeys can make wine, maybe it can improve my spirit brewing skills."
Ye Linyuan couldn't help but nodded, but he was not prepared to be the husband of this spirit beast.
Ye Linyuan had a long life in his previous life, so he had enough energy to upgrade his cultivation skills to the second level.
However, the time for cultivation in this life is still short. If one practices too many arts at the same time, it will lead to a situation where one is good at everything but poor at everything. After all, a cultivator has limited energy, and practicing too many arts will waste a lot of time.
Of course, the importance of a spirit beast husband is extremely important, and Ye Linyuan is also preparing to select someone with excellent qualifications to practice.
Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan looked around, and finally looked at Zhou Yuwan and said, "Let Zhou Yuwan take care of this matter. You have a high talent in cultivating spirit beasts."
"I think with your aptitude, you will definitely become a skilled spirit beast husband."
Zhou Yuwan's eyes lit up when he heard this.
She has been training as a spirit brewer in the past few years, but in her spare time she has tried to practice a few spells of the spirit beast husband, and it turned out that she also has a high talent in breeding spirit beasts.
The four core spells of the Spirit Beast Husband, the Spirit Awakening Spell, the Beast Taming Soul Seal Spell, the Bloodline Mutation Spell, and the Initial Soul Feeding Pill Refining Method, were all cultivated by her to the Hinayana realm. However, she was unable to make further progress due to the lack of a spirit beast.
If she could start taming the monkeys, her skills as a beast tamer would surely improve.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuwan couldn't help but said in surprise: "Don't worry, sir, Yuwan will not let you down."
Ye Linyuan nodded, and then said: "I will let the golden-backed giant ape cooperate with you when the time comes."
Having said this, Ye Linyuan continued to move forward with the golden-backed giant ape, and soon arrived at the spiritual vein at the core of the island.
It was a top-grade spiritual eye, filled with abundant spiritual energy, and was obviously a rare treasure land.
What surprised Ye Linyuan was that the golden-backed giant ape did not stop here, but instead squeaked and wanted to take Ye Linyuan to another place.
Ye Linyuan sensed through the soul seal that the golden-backed giant ape wanted to take him to find treasure, so he looked at the people on the side and said, "You have consumed a lot in this battle, so you should recover your true energy here first."
"it is good."
Old Man Ye nodded, and immediately took everyone to stay here to recover their inner energy.
At the same time, Ye Linyuan continued to move forward with the golden-backed giant ape, and soon came to a cave, and finally stopped in front of a huge piece of golden ore.
"Is this the Black Gold Mine?"
Looking at the huge black gold ore in front of him, Ye Linyuan's expression was slightly stunned.
This black gold ore is only a first-level spiritual ore and is not a too precious treasure for Ye Linyuan.
But what surprised Ye Linyuan was that the piece of black gold ore in front of him was too huge. It was a full ten feet in size. If it were cut and restored into materials, it could be made into hundreds of first-level magical weapons. This was not a small portion.
Moreover, these ores seem to be quite pure. If they can be refined, perhaps a small amount of black gold ore of the level of rare treasure can be refined out.
"You have found me a good treasure."
Looking at this piece of black gold ore, Ye Linyuan finally understood that this golden-backed giant ape could mutate.
The golden-backed giant ape feeds on gold and iron. It must have eaten a large amount of black gold ore, and finally completed the mutation of its bloodline.
In fact, among the secret method of cultivating the golden-backed giant ape in Ye Linyuan’s hands, and the advanced resources for raising the golden-backed giant ape, the black gold ore is one of the most core materials.
As long as there are a large number of Soul-Feeding Pills made from black gold ore, combined with the exclusive skills of the Golden-backed Giant Ape, and the most core advanced resources, the Golden-backed Giant Ape bloodline will have a certain chance of transforming again and being promoted to the legendary King Kong Giant Ape.
The giant King Kong Ape is a demon with a rare bloodline. If it is trained properly, I can't say that it will be able to break through the Golden Core realm in the future, but it will be almost a natural thing for it to cultivate to the late stage of foundation building.
"You are lucky. This piece of black gold ore is enough for you to practice for a long time."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart and collected the large piece of black gold ore.
After collecting the black gold ore, Ye Linyuan casually activated his flying sword to dig at the surrounding rock walls. However, after just a slight dig, his expression suddenly changed.
But in the rock wall, a piece of golden black gold ore was exposed.
"This is……"
Ye Linyuan's expression suddenly became solemn, and then he urged the flying sword to dig twice again. As a result, another large piece of black gold ore was exposed.
After that, he stopped immediately and dared not dig anymore.
“No more digging.”
Ye Linyuan looked solemn. He quickly covered up the exposed ores and then blocked the entire cave.
Afterwards, he walked out of the cave with a gloomy look on his face.
There seemed to be too much black gold ore in this cave. Just the ore that was exposed after digging a few times was probably worth no less than one or two hundred spirit stones.
If we continue digging, once we uncover a large area of black gold ore, I'm afraid we won't be able to contain the spiritual power inside.
If there were no special formation to block the spiritual energy, then when a large-scale black gold spiritual mine was born, the spiritual energy it released would be enough to illuminate an area of hundreds of miles in radius, and by then it is very likely that the entire Heikui Islands would be alarmed.
If rare treasures are unearthed, then a cultivator who is building his foundation may be able to sense it from thousands of miles away.
Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.
Ye Linyuan had no ability to guard this mineral vein, nor did he have the ability to capture the island and mine secretly. The only thing he could do was to stop his greed and leave the space for later plunder.
"What a treasure, but unfortunately I can't get my hands on it now."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart that if his own strength was not enough, then this vein of minerals would only bring him disaster.
He knew very well that all treasures were illusory and only his own strength was real. The most important thing for him now was whether he could build a foundation.
As for cultivating the golden-backed giant ape, that large piece of black gold ore is enough. Ye Linyuan’s Nahai shells will not be able to hold any more.
Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan took one last look at the closed mine, and then at the reluctant golden-backed giant ape and said, "Don't worry, we will come back one day."
"I'm thinking about the day when you can become my right-hand man and fight back with me."
Upon hearing this, the golden-backed giant ape's eyes lit up with a gleam of light, and he even showed a hint of eagerness to fight.
"The monkey clan is indeed quite intelligent."
Ye Linyuan smiled, then took the golden-backed giant ape back to the spiritual eye.
At this time, everyone was recovering their magic power, and Zhou Yuwan was trying to tame the golden monkey using the beast taming method.
With her cultivation level in the late stage of Qi training, combined with the Hinayana beast taming method, she has actually been able to achieve preliminary taming of these demon monkeys in the early stages of Qi training.
Of course, this is because the monkey's intelligence is not low, roughly equivalent to that of a seven or eight-year-old child.
If it were an ordinary monster with a very low IQ, it would probably be much more difficult to tame it. After all, the spirits of such monsters are weak, and if the soul mark is forcibly engraved, it may cause its soul to be torn apart.
