Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Jade Dragon Pool was located due north of Jade Dragon Valley, in an area with gently rolling hills.

Backed by several massive green mountains, the area received very little sunlight on ordinary days, which made the pool water appear exceptionally blue-green.

A group of cultivators emerged from the jungle, each wearing a different expression.

For rogue cultivators, the discovery of a mineral vein here was naturally a cause for celebration, and some might even secure a job as a miner.

But for the major families, it was not necessarily good news. Jade Dragon Pool was close to the depths of the Taihang Mountains, and demon beasts often came to raid the area, even potentially besieging the valley.

Sharing the profits also meant helping to defend the valley.

However, these families couldn't refuse, so they could only hope that the spirit stone vein was large enough to yield a substantial share of spirit stones.

The Ye family was among them. The Jade Dragon Pool before them was quite large, almost the size of a lake.

Unlike the inability to use divine sense at the bottom of the pool, Ye Jingcheng could now see the surrounding area clearly.

The wide Jade Dragon Pool had some coin-sized, emerald green duckweed floating on the surface. Occasionally, red-jointed fish would surface, pushing the duckweed aside and revealing their rounded mouths.

The spirit energy around Jade Dragon Pool was also extremely rich. Along the banks grew patches of azure flowers, which were the same color as their stems and leaves, even when in bloom.

But these azure flowers were not to be underestimated. They were one of the spiritual herbs used to refine Qi Replenishing Pills, a first-order, high-grade elixir, and were extremely valuable in the market.

Ye Jingcheng tentatively sent his divine sense through the spirit pool to the bottom, but the jade bed and various spirit eggs had disappeared, including the Jade Dragon Grass.

Clearly, when Luo Yuan Shangren disappeared alone, leaving only Qianhe Shangren to struggle, he had come to Jade Dragon Pool to collect these spiritual objects in advance.

Arriving at Jade Dragon Pool, the two Shangrens didn't stop but headed towards the mountains on one side, finally stopping at the eastern foot of the mountains, where there was a deep cave.

The cave entrance was hidden by a large patch of trees, making it impossible to find without careful observation.

Moonlight stones had already been placed inside the cave, so it wasn't dark.

Upon arriving here, Ye Jingcheng and the rogue cultivators could no longer advance. Instead, the heads of the various families and the Foundation Establishment cultivators went in alone.

Ye Jingcheng didn't expect there to be a cave here.

Soon, Ye Xingliu emerged from the cave and began collecting everyone's storage bags.

Cultivators who had died also had to provide proof of their soul jade's shattering.

This also included rogue cultivators. When the major families hired rogue cultivators, they also had corresponding one-time soul jades for those cultivators.

Ye Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that only the storage bags were being collected. After checking his own storage bag, he handed it over as well.

Speaking of which, this time, his storage bag contained over twenty first-order spirit snake corpses. Even at ten spirit stones each, that would be close to three hundred spirit stones.

The most valuable parts of the spirit snake were its skin and gall bladder. The snake skin was an excellent material for making talismans or robes, keeping the wearer warm in winter and cool in summer, and was loved by many cultivators.

The snake gall bladder was a treasure for some body cultivators or cultivators who wanted to cultivate spirit beasts.

Of course, some spirit snakes also had poison sacs, which would increase their price considerably.

In addition to spirit snakes and pythons, there were also many red-jointed fish. Because of their delicious taste, red-jointed fish were not hard to sell, and a first-order early-stage fish could sell for three spirit stones.

Ye Jingcheng's storage bag also contained about seventy of them!

This harvest was worth about five hundred spirit stones. If the sect and family's cut weren't counted, it would be a great haul for a Qi Refining sixth-layer cultivator.

Moreover, Ye Jingcheng hadn't explored the jungle during this time, and he had also completed a mission, otherwise his harvest would have been even greater.

For example, Ye Jingli was currently nudging up to him, asking him how his harvest was.

After learning about Ye Jingcheng's harvest, Ye Jingli once again began recommending his newly researched magical artifacts, as if this time his magical artifacts had shown their power.

After a little less than a quarter of an hour, the sect took nearly 30% as a cut and returned the storage bags to their owners.

When it came to Ye Jingcheng's storage bag, Ye Jingcheng looked into it.

He found that none of the various spirit snake materials and corpses were missing, and even the red-jointed fish were still there.

Instead, there were several more spiritual herbs in the storage bag.

One of them was an eighty-year-old Earth Cloud Fungus, which meant that the Golden Scale Beast's advancement elixir was only missing one spiritual herb, a hundred-year-old Azure Root Fruit!

Ye Jingcheng looked up and looked into Ye Xingliu's eyes, but found that the latter had already entered the Ye family's cultivators and was continuing to distribute the storage bags.

"Jingcheng, they only deducted 60%, we still have 40%!" Ye Jingli was extremely pleased. He had earned hundreds of spirit stones this day.

It was much faster than refining magical artifacts.

This situation made him willing to explore every day.

Moreover, capturing and killing demon beasts was more profitable for cultivators who raised spirit beasts, because they usually had to buy spirit beast meat!

Now, the ones killed on the spot didn't need to go through other people's hands.

"Sixth Brother, me too, I thought it was only 30%!" Ye Jingcheng replied.

At the same time, he understood in his heart that the extra things in his storage bag were probably the result of his secret mission!

The Earth Cloud Fungus alone was worth hundreds of spirit stones, and the unextracted spirit beast materials were also worth five hundred spirit stones.

Speaking of which, that trip wasn't a loss, but Ye Jingcheng still felt a little disappointed in his heart.

After all, that was a spirit beast with the potential to advance to a True Spirit.

Even if the advancement required was a little cumbersome, as long as it could advance once or twice, he could benefit endlessly through the Spirit Beast Tattoo!

By that time, his strongest attribute would probably not be fire, but water.

"Properly store the family contribution points. This is the Azure Profound Iron ore vein, a superior material sufficient to refine first-order, top-grade magical artifacts!" Ye Haiyi suddenly patted Ye Jingcheng on the shoulder, interrupting Ye Jingcheng's reverie.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng was overjoyed.

He didn't think Ye Haiyi was talking to him about Azure Profound Iron.

But was talking about exchanging spirit beast eggs.

However, upon hearing about Azure Profound Iron, Ye Jingcheng was also a little surprised. This kind of profound iron was also extremely famous in the cultivation world.

This kind of magical artifact had extremely high compatibility and malleability, and was often used to refine entire sets of magical artifacts!

Moreover, it came with some cloud and mist characteristics!

If Ye Jingcheng's Silver Snow Needles could be mixed with some Azure Profound Iron, their power would increase by several levels!

The clouds and mist were ethereal, the attacks illusory, and impossible to defend against!

"Everyone, this time, the exploration and clearing of Jade Dragon Valley was extremely smooth. In the following time, if there are any areas that have not been fully explored, you can continue to explore the areas that have been assigned to you. Rogue cultivators who want to become miners in the ore vein can also sign up now!"

"In addition, this time, the red-jointed fish of Jade Dragon Pool will be rewarded to the Mo family, Xu family, and Ye family. This is the decision of the two Shangrens. If anyone has any objections, you can report it!"

"I will definitely convey it to the two Shangrens!" The deacon of the Taiyi Sect said, straining his voice.

There will be another chapter later. I have a cold today, my throat hurts, and I got off work late, so it's a little slow, sorry.
