Chapter 203: The Cold Jade Snake Clan [5K] [Subscribe]
In addition, Ye Linyuan's combat power is also very strong. Coupled with the dragon might of the cold Chi, it can deter low-level monsters and prevent a large number of low-level monsters from forming a beast tide.
If there were no third-level spiritual veins here to set up a third-level formation, even an ordinary Jindan master would not be able to kill a fake Dan sea beast in the deep sea.
If there were no ripe blood fruit, the false dan sea beast would not be attracted into the trap.
If it weren't for Han Chi's dragon power, once he took out the blood fruit, it would attract a tide of beasts. By then, thousands of monsters would attack, and Ye Linyuan would end up losing more than he gained.
Of course, this is also related to Ye Linyuan's cultivation. If he had the Jindan level of cultivation, the fake elixir beast would definitely stay away and would not be stupid enough to come and die for a bloodline fruit.
It can be said that these factors are indispensable for Ye Linyuan to come to the deep sea to hunt monsters.
"Coincidental timing, coincidental cultivation, and coincidental background, all these combined together allowed me to hunt down the deep-sea beast so easily."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, and couldn't help but look thoughtful.
According to his experience, it is not easy for ordinary Jindan forces to hunt deep-sea monsters. The best way is to use a third-level treasure ship and kill it with a third-level monster-hunting cannon.
However, the fake elixir beast will avoid the third-level treasure ship and the golden elixir master, so it will not be easy to find it. Moreover, once you fail to kill it with one blow, it will be difficult to find another opportunity to kill it.
After all, the deep-sea monsters escaped into the deep sea, and no matter whether it was a third-level treasure ship or a Jindan cultivator, their combat effectiveness would definitely be greatly reduced if they dived into the deep sea. It was far less simple and convenient than catching a turtle in a jar like him.
"Take this opportunity to kill as many deep-sea beasts as possible before the pill is formed."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, then asked everyone to start processing the materials.
This time, they killed a large number of deep-sea whales and the harvest was astonishing.
Those dozen or so deep-sea giant whales in the late stage of foundation building are full of treasures. Their blood can be used to irrigate blood spirit grass and other blood spirit medicines, and their bones can be ground into powder to cultivate high-quality spirit fields.
The leather can be used to refine talismans and spiritual banners, as well as some spiritual weapons. The flesh and blood can also be used to cultivate the golden-backed giant ape tribe.
The golden-backed giant ape tribe is good at body refining. They have obtained a large amount of black gold ore and bloodline fruit. If they can obtain the flesh and blood of these giant beasts, they may be able to give birth to a large number of foundation-building demon apes.
The golden-backed giant ape at the foundation-building stage is an excellent embryo for cultivating Taoist soldiers.
Whether it is the golden-backed giant ape, the talisman, the spiritual field, the spiritual banner, etc., they are all significant improvements for the Ye family's immortal clan, enough to make the Ye family's foundation and cultivation advance by leaps and bounds.
And all these foundations will also become Ye Linyuan's trump cards when he forms the elixir.
As for these foundation-building beasts, Ye Linyuan asked Shui Hanqing and others to divide and process them, preparing to send them back to the family in the future.
At this time, Ye Linyuan himself was carefully splitting up the fake Dan whale.
After continuous division, Ye Linyuan finally obtained the skeleton of a complete pseudodan giant whale.
There was also a broken fake whale leather, a giant beast inner elixir, five pieces of ambergris, and a large amount of flesh and blood.
Among these treasures, the bones of the fake dan giant whale are extremely precious and can be used as the core material for refining fake dan puppets.
Of course, refining the fake pill puppet requires a huge amount of materials, and hundreds of second-level spiritual objects alone are needed.
The core components of the third stage are not just the skeleton, but also the fake elixir giant beast's inner elixir and the third stage magic weapon.
Apart from the bones, the giant whale's leather was badly damaged in the battle, but after Ye Linyuan cut it into pieces, it was estimated that he could refine it into three third-grade low-grade treasure talismans.
He put the leather away, intending to make it into talisman paper in the future. After his cultivation reached its limit, he would refine a third-level talisman, which would be more powerful.
And that ambergris is also a rare treasure of the second level. It can be used to refine soul-nourishing incense, which has great benefits for the soul.
As for the remaining flesh and blood, there is naturally no need to say more.
Ye Linyuan collected these materials, and then said: "I will use the flesh and blood of this fake pill beast to refine pills and cultivate my combat body, and the blood will be used to nourish your bloodline elixir."
"The inner elixir is of water attribute, which is quite compatible with the cold dragon, but it is not the most compatible ice-attributed inner elixir."
At this point, Ye Linyuan looked at Han Chi and asked, "Do you want to swallow this?"
"I want to wait a little longer." Han Chi shook his head and was not in a hurry to swallow the thing to form a pill.
Ye Linyuan nodded. The endurance of the foundation-building monster beasts was limited. Even if it was a descendant of a true spirit with a powerful bloodline, it could only swallow the inner elixir of a fake elixir giant beast before forming a pill.
After swallowing one, the enormous power of the inner elixir will lurk in the body, but this is already the limit. Once the second one is swallowed, one will be forced to break through to the elixir stage.
If the breakthrough to the golden elixir fails, the medicinal power will be wasted, so the best way is to just swallow a matching inner elixir, and then break through to the golden elixir realm after mastering this power.
Han Chi is a monster with ice attributes, and it is best to refine an inner elixir with ice attributes.
Once Han Chi swallows an ice-attributed inner elixir, his foundation will definitely break through the limit of foundation building, thereby increasing the probability of forming an elixir by 20%.
If one just swallows this inner elixir, its foundation will be improved a lot, but because the properties are not particularly compatible, it can only increase the probability of breakthrough by less than 10%.
Ye Linyuan also knew this, so he said, "Then this inner pill will be used as a backup. If you don't find a more suitable one, you can swallow this one again."
As he said this, Ye Linyuan checked the formation and the spirit pool again, and found that a lot of spiritual energy in the spirit vein had been consumed during the battle, so he put away the bloodline fruit.
Then he looked at the people who were cleaning up the battlefield. Seeing that they were almost done, he spoke up, "This battle consumed a lot of spiritual energy from the spirit veins. It's not advisable to fight again in the short term."
"Let's let this place recover its vitality first, and then come back every three years to hunt the giant beasts that have formed a golden core."
Everyone nodded when they heard this.
The spiritual energy stored in a small, lower-grade third-order spiritual vein is indeed limited. After the fierce battle between two third-order formations, a lot of it was naturally consumed.
Moreover, everyone's magic power and the spiritual energy of the fake pill puppet were also depleted.
If they continued to hunt monsters, they would be in big trouble if they attracted a giant golden elixir beast, so Ye Linyuan decided to be cautious.
Hunting monsters once every three years will allow the spiritual veins here to return to full state and allow them to digest the spoils of the battle. This is the safest way.
So everyone put away the formation, took away all the more than 20 foundation-building sea beasts they had hunted, and returned to their families quietly.
After returning to the family, Ye Linyuan and others continued to practice while dealing with the spoils of this monster hunt.
I have to admit that the spoils this time are really extraordinary. There are more than twenty sea beasts in the late stage of foundation building and above, and the resources they produced are truly amazing.
It took them three years to digest this batch of resources.
After watering a large number of bloodline spiritual medicines with the blood of those sea beasts, hundreds of second-level bloodline spiritual medicines were eventually cultivated, among which more than a dozen even reached the level of second-level top-grade.
The spiritual medicine of the bloodline of the spiritual beasts contracted with the golden-backed giant ape and other spiritual beasts has greatly increased its spirituality after being watered with the fake pill blood. It seems that it is only one step away from becoming a second-level rare spiritual medicine.
Of the twenty-seven pieces of monster leather, twelve from the giant whale clan were refined by Ye Linyuan into a set of magic weapons, and the rest were used to refine more than fifty second-grade top-quality talismans.
As for the Golden-backed Giant Ape clan, after consuming large amounts of the flesh and blood of sea beasts, their cultivation level also improved by leaps and bounds. In a short period of time, more than a dozen of them were promoted to the Foundation Establishment stage.
As a natural combat body, Ye Chongyun was given a large amount of flesh and blood this time. His cultivation almost skyrocketed and he actually broke through to the late stage of foundation building.
According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, if he continued to refine large quantities of fake elixir flesh and blood, Ye Chongyun would most likely fully awaken his black bronze combat body within forty to fifty years, and break through to the golden elixir realm with his body refining foundation.
The cultivation of the original twelve heads increased greatly, and three of them broke through to the middle stage of foundation building.
Ye Linyuan also used a large number of sea beast skeletons to refine several puppets in the late stage of foundation building, preparing to use them as one of his trump cards in the future.
Ye Linyuan himself used the flesh and blood of the fake elixir beast to refine inner elixir, and constantly took it to improve his physical foundation and potential.
After finally digesting the flesh and blood, Ye Linyuan discovered that two Dao patterns had emerged in his body.
"Two precious patterns."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, with a hint of joy in his eyes.
The great Dao treasure patterns are the key foundation for cultivating a combat body. Legend has it that as long as one cultivates nine treasure patterns and uses them as the foundation to condense the physical body's magical powers, one can be considered to have reached the initial stage of cultivating a combat body.
After cultivating thirty-six precious patterns, it can be considered a small success in combat. It can develop into a second physical magical power, and the combat power is comparable to that of a mid-stage golden elixir.
One hundred and eight precious patterns represent the legendary Great Combat Body. Once one reaches this state, he or she can be said to be invincible in physical combat and can develop a third physical magical power, which is enough to rival a late Jindan cultivator. Above the Great Combat Body, there is also the Perfect Combat Body state.
The perfect combat body is also called the quasi-fourth-order combat body. At this level, one has the combat power to fight hand-to-hand with the true spirits of heaven and earth of the same level, and will also generate the fourth physical magical power based on the third-order combat body.
However, a quasi-fourth-order combat body is a very rare existence in the world of immortal cultivation. Ye Linyuan had seen many Yuanying Zhenjun in his previous life, but there were indeed only a handful of them who had cultivated a quasi-fourth-order combat body.
According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, once he cultivates to the quasi-fourth-level combat power, his strength should be comparable to that of the False Infant Ancestor, and he will have a certain ability to protect himself even when facing an ordinary Nascent Soul True Lord.
"The treasure pill was refined from the flesh of a fake dan giant whale, but only two treasure patterns were born. At this rate, I'm afraid I'll have to hunt down four or five fake dan giant whales."
"Practicing consumes so many resources. No wonder it is so difficult for ordinary cultivators to achieve great success in physical cultivation, except for those who are born with combat bodies and true spirit bloodlines."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He slowly sensed the strength of his physical body and found that his physical strength had increased slightly, but it was only less than 10%.
He knew in his heart that this was because his physical strength had reached its limit, and it would be difficult to make much improvement before the birth of physical supernatural powers.
"Take it slow. Hunt once every three years. In a dozen years, we should have enough."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, and then ended his retreat.
Seeing that another three years was up, Ye Linyuan gathered his family members and went into the sea to hunt monsters again.
During this monster hunting trip, Ye Linyuan once again killed a fake dan sea beast, plus more than thirty sea beasts at the foundation-building level. It can be said that he made a lot of money.
And this time, after returning from the deep sea, Han Chi unexpectedly found Ye Linyuan.
"Master, I want to gather the bloodline clan members."
"Oh?"
Ye Linyuan was slightly stunned, and immediately understood Han Chi's thoughts.
This Han Chiyuan is actually a Han Yu snake egg, the offspring of the Han Yu snake king.
It's just that its bloodline is extremely excellent, and it absorbed the Taoist essence of the Cold Jade Snake King when he transformed into a Taoist, so it returned to its ancestral form and became the current true spirit species, the Cold Chi.
After the battle that year, the secret realm of Hanchi Snow Ridge completely collapsed, and the Hanyu Snake lineage also escaped from the Hanchi Islands. It is said that they have now settled on the edge of the Qingniu Demon Realm and have been having a very hard time over the years.
The main reason why Han Chi wanted to summon the Hanyu Snake Clan was because he saw the rapid increase in the cultivation level of the King Kong Giant Ape Clan, so he wanted to take care of his former clansmen and blood relatives.
After all, the Ye family can now produce blood elixirs on a large scale, and every once in a while there is a large amount of flesh and blood of high-level sea beasts, which is enough to make the cultivation of the Cold Jade Snake Clan advance by leaps and bounds.
Ye Linyuan naturally understood this, so after considering it, he said, "I would be very happy to let the Hanyu Snake Clan join us."
"But they are demons after all. I'm worried that their vicious nature will be hard to change."
Han Chi heard this and said with certainty: "Master, don't worry. I have the superior bloodline of the Hanyu Snake Clan, which is enough to completely subdue them and make them dare not act rashly."
When Ye Linyuan heard this, he immediately smiled.
The Cold Jade Snake is not an ordinary demon clan. This lineage is composed of powerful mutated spirit beasts. Their potential and combat power are no weaker than that of the Golden-backed Giant Ape.
If they can be subdued and trained well, the Ye family will have more foundation and will have one more card to play when forming the pill.
Knowing this, Ye Linyuan said, "In that case, I will accompany you."
Having said this, Ye Linyuan put away the Han Chi and then went quietly to the Qingniu Demon Realm.
He traveled across hundreds of thousands of miles of vast ocean and came to a remote shallow sea archipelago on the edge of the Qingniu Sea.
"Hanyu Islands."
Looking at the archipelago, Ye Linyuan looked thoughtful.
The Hanyu Islands are a medium-sized shallow sea archipelago, originally occupied by several foundation-building monsters.
About a hundred years ago, the Hanyu Snake Clan retreated from the Black Dragon Demon Territory and eventually drove away the foundation-building demon here. From then on, they occupied this place and began to live and practice.
It is said that when the Cold Jade Snake lineage arrived here, there were only a hundred or so Cold Jade Snakes left, and their foundation and strength had declined sharply. Fortunately, there were still seven or eight Cold Jade Snakes in the foundation-building stage.
Now, after hundreds of years of reproduction and development, the Cold Jade Snake Clan has recovered most of its strength and now has twelve Cold Jade Snakes in the Foundation Establishment stage. The number of ordinary Cold Jade Snakes has also recovered to more than a thousand.
However, as an alien demon, the Cold Jade Snake does not live comfortably here and has always been the target of bullying by the surrounding demons.
If a great demon in the late foundation-building stage had not appeared in the Hanyu Snake clan before Jiazi year, they might not have been able to gain a foothold here.
"As expected of the bloodline of the Frost Dragon Demon King, it has recovered to this level in just a hundred years."
After Ye Linyuan sensed the aura of this place, he immediately sneaked into the Hanyu Islands quietly.
He sneaked all the way into the depths of the Hanyu Islands and finally revealed himself in a huge island snake cave.
"Om-"
When Ye Linyuan revealed his aura, it immediately alarmed the entire snake cave.
A large number of cold jade snakes were alarmed. A human foundation-building cultivator sneaked in quietly, and they were obviously frightened.
Several cold jade snakes at the foundation-building stage surrounded Ye Linyuan in shock, and roared with extremely solemn expressions: "Human, how dare you come here?"
"Shhhhh-"
Rays of light came towards him, trying to kill Ye Linyuan completely.
But facing the attacks of these foundation-building monsters, Ye Linyuan simply raised his body-protecting true energy to resist, and all the attacks disappeared into thin air.
Then, Ye Linyuan said calmly: "Everyone, I have no ill intentions in this trip, so let's stop and talk."
Upon hearing this, the cold jade snakes present stopped in fear and looked towards Ye Linyuan with an extremely solemn look in their eyes.
At the same time, a huge cold jade snake king swam over, looked at Ye Linyuan with cold eyes and said: "Human, you sneaked in so rudely, I'm afraid we can't talk about it."
"If I don't sneak in quietly, I'm afraid both you and I will be in danger."
Having said this, Ye Linyuan didn't bother to talk nonsense and opened the storage bag with a flick of his sleeves.
Suddenly, a dragon's roar was heard, and the snake cave was immediately covered with a thick layer of frost. Then, a giant blue and white dragon appeared in the cave across the sky.
"Frost Chi Demon King."
Instantly, all the cold jade snakes present were shocked.
At this moment, they all felt a suppression from their blood, which made them want to worship the descendant.
But the next moment, they felt something was wrong. The Frost Jade Snake King couldn't help but say, "No, it only has the foundation-building great perfection cultivation, it's not the demon king of the past."
"Of course it's not the Frost Chi Demon King from back then."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, and then said calmly: "Han Chi is the egg of the Han Yu Snake King. Later, because the Han Yu Snake King became a Taoist, his bloodline reverted to his ancestral state."
"I was entrusted by the Frost Jade Snake King to bring it back and raise it. Unknowingly, it has been more than a hundred years..."
As Ye Linyuan told the story, the members of the Hanyu Snake Clan present soon learned the origin of the Han Chi.
All of a sudden, they all showed surprise. The Frost Jade Snake King couldn't help but said in ecstasy: "The Frost Chi has reappeared. Is my Frost Chi lineage destined to rise again?"
"Why don't you go and pay your respects to the Dragon King?"
Following the call of the Cold Jade Snake King, more than a dozen Cold Jade Snakes present fell to the ground one after another.
As for those cold jade snakes in the Qi training stage, they had long been suppressed by the dragon's might. They lay on the ground, not daring to move at all.
Seeing this, Han Chi spoke up and said, "I came here today to take you away, and also to grant you a great opportunity."
