Chapter 1421 - 1017: Additional Functions of the Grotto Heaven

In the grotto heaven, three years passed quietly.

The spirit vein at the center of the grotto heaven had now ascended to a Tier Five Spiritual Vein, and because Jingcheng had buried a significant amount of Spirit Stones in the grotto heaven, the Spiritual Energy was now considerably higher than usual.

The Spirit Medicine Garden was always shrouded in floating Spiritual Radiance, with waves of diffuse rippling out occasionally, akin to a stone dropping into a lake’s heart, and the Spiritual Rain had become denser.

Beside the spirit vein, peach wood raised its crown even higher, while other Spirit Woods and even Spirit Medicines grew noticeably more lush.

Even the Primordial Jade Fruit Tree and Nine Curves Spirit Ginseng were exceptionally verdant.

Most exaggerated was, undoubtedly, the Meat Mushroom Wood Demon.

Although still at the Tier Two Peak, the condensed Meat of the Ganoderma was already the size of a small building.

Jingcheng’s spirit beasts took turns carving and sharing it.

This Meat of the Ganoderma, being a pure transformation of Spiritual Energy, was effective for cultivators and spirit beasts, though due to its Tier Two status, its effect was rather mild.

Nevertheless, it’s considered Spirit Beast Meat and could alleviate some of the pressure on the spirit deer group and lush forest pig herd within Jingcheng’s grotto heaven.

On one side of the grotto heaven, a large number of transparent ripples emerged in the void.

A palm-sized Void Nether Spirit Jade had been sculpted into the shape of Spatial Jade.

In the air, it shimmered with a special light.

Standing before it, Jingcheng exhaled deeply, his eyes full of delight.

He thought he would need five or six years, or even longer, to research the Spatial Jade during his seclusion.

Unexpectedly, the Grotto Heaven Stone Spirit could assist in refining this Spatial Jade, completing the task with him in just three years.

The starry sky Visualization Diagram cultivated by the Stone Spirit was certainly no ordinary item, likely passed down by the Ye Family from the Spirit Realm, which made its spatial abilities particularly strong.

Now, if it were to hide in the void, Jingcheng would have to use his Divine Sense in a blanket sweep nearby to sense the presence of the Grotto Heaven Stone Spirit.

Moreover, because of the Tier Five Spiritual Vein, the entire grotto heaven became more stable, causing other spirit veins to ascend as well.

Currently, the five pure attribute spirit veins within the grotto heaven had all advanced to the Tier Four Lower Grade level, while the pure Thunder Attribute spirit vein had reached the Tier Three Top-Grade level.

Many spirit beasts now preferred to dwell at the foot of spirit mountains better suited to their spirit veins.

Thus, instead of two spirit mountains, there were now eight in the grotto heaven.

Among them, Jingcheng’s spirit mountain remained at the center of the spirit vein and was his place of cultivation, while the other five were arranged in a circle around it.

This allowed the Five Elements attribute spirit veins to continue converging towards him.

As for the Thunder Attribute spirit vein, it fell on the periphery and had become the habitat of the Thunder Rhinoceros Insects.

"Now let’s start refining the second piece and just link the spatial node!" Jingcheng checked and then spoke.

He began refining the second piece of Spatial Jade.

This process also took Jingcheng ten days to complete.

Once the second piece of Spatial Jade was refined, the Grotto Heaven Stone Spirit also exhaled deeply, clearly worried it might mess up its master’s task.

But everything went smoothly, and its eyes were full of joy.

"Well done!" Jingcheng took out a few useful Spirit Liquids for the Stone Spirit and handed over two slightly inferior Tier Four Defense Treasures as a reward.

It cultivated the Spiritual Scripture, absorbing more Tier Four Defense Treasures can enhance the strength of the Stone Spirit Body, and aid in converting to advance cultivation.

An average person couldn’t sustain the Stone Spirit’s breakthrough needs.

Only because Jingcheng had acquired multiple Treasure Vaults did he have a bit of leeway.

"Cultivate well, and once you reach Tier Four Top-Grade, I’ll refine a Tier Five Advancement Pill for you," Jingcheng promised.

Compared to spirit beasts, these Wood Demon Stone Spirits have even stronger endurance.

So they can take the next tier’s Advancement Pill ahead of time, reducing the preparation needed for breakthrough spiritual medicine for the Nascent Soul.

For demon beasts, Advancing Spirit Medicine or the Demon Emperor’s Nascent Soul Core could be used, and wood demons can enhance their chances with the Five Demons Nascent Soul Secret Technique.

But Jingcheng truly didn’t know any treasures besides the Advancement Pill to aid the Stone Spirits in breaking through to the Nascent Soul.

Therefore, Tier Four Peak is the best time to take the Advancement Pill.

"Thank you, Master. May Master attain enlightenment early and achieve the status of Immortal Monarch..." the Grotto Heaven Stone Spirit began to flatter and thank.

Only its bootlicking skills were somewhat lacking compared to the peach wood.

Jingcheng waved it off to cultivate.

Simultaneously, he distributed Spirit Pills and Treasure Lights to other spirit beasts and Wood Demon Stone Spirits.

But originally, the Golden Scale Beast, who should have been the most enthused, was not so aggressive today.

Jingcheng looked over with a face full of worry, visibly troubled.

Upon seeing Jingcheng distributing lots of Treasure Light, the Golden Scale Beast belatedly approached him.

"Master..." the Golden Scale Beast was a bit disheartened.

During these three years, it had not felt any advancement in its cultivation, even its Breathing Technique seemed to have hit a bottleneck.

For the Golden Scale Beast, which had never encountered a bottleneck before, it was naturally miserable.

It couldn’t accept that the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon and Red Flame Fox were progressing while it was stationary.

"Master, do you have any Advancement Pill?" the Golden Scale Beast hesitated for a moment before asking.

"No Advancement Pill, but wait for a while, there’s a Nascent Soul Pill," Jingcheng said directly. These spirit beasts had strong enough bloodlines and could actually advance without external medicine, but the Ye Family couldn’t wait that long.

The remaining Nascent Soul Pill had already been given to the Red Flame Fox, now he only had material for two Nascent Soul Pills and one Nascent Soul Pill.

But since the Red Flame Fox was not around, his confidence in refining a Tier Five Nascent Soul Pill was not high.

Therefore, he could only give the Pill to the Golden Scale Beast.

Such refining is no joke, wasting a piece of spirit medicine would break his heart.

Meanwhile, the Golden Scale Beast should also hone itself a bit more, lest the waste be heart-wrenching even for him.

"Roar, thank you, Master!" the Golden Scale Beast roared in excitement upon hearing Jingcheng was prepared.

"Roar, thank you, Master!"

...

"Alright, continue cultivating, breakthroughs are not guaranteed, you need to hone your body," Jingcheng advised again.

Upon hearing this, the Golden Scale Beast consumed the Spirit Pill and Treasure Light and headed towards the Vermilion Bird Golden Falcon and White-Browed Cyan Wolf.

Instead of taking sides like before, now it only wanted to fight the three.

Even if Jingcheng wasn’t around, it could rely on the Celestial Wood Divine Light of the Six-Colored Cloud Deer to recover from its injuries.

Jingcheng didn’t say much more; after distributing the rest of the Treasure Light and Spirit Pills to the other spirit beasts, he exited the grotto heaven.

Next, the Ye Family would start arranging the Teleportation Array to reduce travel risks for the family.

Once the two Teleportation Arrays were set up, the Ye Family in the Desert Sea would also start setting up several Teleportation Arrays to ensure a connection between Celestial Phoenix Oasis and the four large oases.
