Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book - Chapter 1071 - 751: Celestial Crow Ancient Tree, Bai and Qing’s Secret Plot
Desert Sea, Black Crow Forbidden Land, towering ancient trees stood desolately in the vast desert.
The pitch-black leaves were like iron umbrellas, emitting a thick black light and casting large patches of shadow.
These ancient trees are called Celestial Crow Ancient Trees, renowned in the Cultivation Realm for their enormous size and black light. From a distance, they appear like black mountains, visible for tens of thousands of miles.
Furthermore, these Celestial Crow Ancient Trees are Tier Three Fire Attribute Spirit Wood.
Beyond them, at the treetops, were several enormous nests burning with thick black flames, the nests of the Black Crows.
In the sunlight, a Tier Four Spirit Puppet swiftly flew towards the forbidden zone.
This Tier Four Spirit Puppet was a Flying Puppet controlled by Ye Jingcheng, who had come to the Black Crow Forbidden Land after leaving the Shuize World.
The purpose was twofold: to see if there was a teleportation array in the Black Crow Forbidden Land and to assess the strength of the Black Crows there.
Sending his real body was naturally risky, so using the Flying Puppet Skill was evidently a better choice.
Moreover, Flying Puppet Skill could also be supplemented with Divine Sense.
The sensing ability wouldn’t be much lesser.
The only worry was the potential destruction of the Tier Four Flying Puppet.
After observing for over half a month, Ye Jingcheng finally found a suitable opportunity.
He discovered that these Black Crows would periodically fly through the desert into the depths of the mountains to forage.
He seized this opportunity to sneak in.
The Flying Puppet smoothly entered the forbidden land, which was much calmer than the Forbidden Land of Fallen Souls.
Soon, it landed without a problem under the Celestial Crow Ancient Trees.
The ancient trees were immense, much larger than they appeared from afar.
It would take about twenty to thirty people to encircle just one tree. The bark was covered with glowing black Spirit Patterns.
Ye Jingcheng released his Divine Sense, first inspecting the surroundings of the forbidden zone. Finding no teleportation array, he directed his sense towards the nests atop the Celestial Crow Ancient Trees.
Before he could probe inside the nest to check for young Black Crows,
countless black branches turned into golden spears, shooting towards the Flying Puppet.
“Tier Four Wood Demon!” Ye Jingcheng was taken aback.
In that instant, he understood why the Black Crow Forbidden Land was a forbidden zone.
It turned out that apart from the Black Crow Demon Kings, there was also the Celestial Crow Ancient Wood Demon King.
A combination of Demon Beast Demon Kings and Wood Demon Kings was something Ye Jingcheng encountered for the first time.
Even an ordinary Golden Core Cultivator could perish in this Black Crow Forbidden Land.
The Flying Puppet barely evaded after multiple quick maneuvers.
It immediately headed out of the forbidden zone.
Seizing the opportunity, Ye Jingcheng steeled his heart and probed the nest with his Divine Sense.
Since he had been discovered, there was no need to be overly cautious.
With Divine Sense spreading, Ye Jingcheng finally saw inside the nest.
The nest was vast, like a cultivator’s palace, even bigger.
All materials were composed of Spirit Wood and Spirit Mud intertwined to form the nest.
Inside the nest, numerous beast bones were interwoven, forming the entire skeleton of the nest.
But upon entering the nest, no Black Crow Eggs were found, nor any teleportation device or spiritual objects.
Unexpectedly, in the black flames lay rows of cloud ears resembling black gems, not turned to ash but becoming even more brilliant under the black fire’s burn.
Evidently, the Black Flame, besides warning other demon beast cultivators, was nurturing these cloud ears.
Soon, a name floated in Ye Jingcheng’s mind: Black Crow Flame Ear.
This Black Crow Flame Ear significantly benefits Fire Attribute Spirit Beasts and Fire Attribute Cultivators, akin to a supreme tonic, even comparable to Spirit Fruit for consumption.
The lowest of Black Crow Flame Ear was a Tier Three High-Grade Spiritual Material.
The batch before him was bigger than what he remembered.
This indicated a much higher quality of Flame Ear here.
With a rough glance, this Black Crow Flame Ear consisted of hundreds of clusters, among which were six or seven clusters of Tier Four Giant Black Crow Flame Ear.
No wonder these Black Crows stayed immobile here.
They were using the Spirit Mud and Celestial Crow Ancient Trees to cultivate Black Crow Flame Ears.
As Ye Jingcheng examined carefully, croaking sounds emerged from afar.
The Celestial Crow Ancient Trees seemed disturbed, as the Black Crow Demon Kings sped back.
Gazing afar, he could see a massive dark cloud surging towards this side.
The four Celestial Crow Ancient Wood Demon Kings were getting anxious,
seemingly fearing blame from the Black Crow Demon Kings, they attacked Ye Jingcheng’s Flying Puppet frantically.
Their massive bodies endowed them with terrifying roots and stalks.
The Wooden Spears they shot were heavy, fast, and countless, akin to a black rain, incredibly formidable!
But the Flying Puppet’s features were its robust body; with Ye Jingcheng overlying it with a Spirit Armor Daoist Robe, it became even more fearlessly aggressive!
It was desperately rushing towards the edge of the forbidden zone, seemingly able to break through the blockade of the Wood Demons.
For this forbidden zone, Ye Jingcheng naturally wouldn’t linger; during the peripheral observations, he found there were five Demon Kings here.
One was a Late Stage of Fourth Tier Demon King, two were Mid-stage Fourth Tier Demon Kings.
Two were Early Stage of Fourth Tier Demon Kings.
There are still seven or eight Tier Three Great Demons.
At this moment, Ye Jingcheng is naturally not their opponent, and if he gets entangled by these Wood Demons, he might not be able to escape, at the very least, the Flying Puppet will be lost here!
The previous absence of Zhang and Jia families was probably because the number of these Demon Kings and Wood Demon Kings was too great, and their combat power too strong.
Moreover, even though the Flying Puppet is exceedingly brave at this moment, the abundance of roots gradually ties it into a huge feast!
Fortunately, from afar, two blazing golden rays strike in, severing countless roots completely!
Countless vines scatter in the air, and the Flying Puppet immediately charges out, vanishing from the Forbidden Land’s outskirts!
These two golden rays are precisely the Golden Glaze Sword and Beheading Saber released by Ye Jingcheng, the former being a Tier Four Lower-Grade Magical Treasure, the latter being a Tier Four Middle-Grade Magical Treasure.
They were both seized from the Golden Core cultivators of the Zhang and Jia families.
Even though those Wood Demons wished to pursue, once out of the Forbidden Land, there was nothing they could do.
Those Black Crow Demon Kings were furious one by one as well.
But similarly did not leave the Black Crow Forbidden Land.
Only circling the outskirts, one circle after another.
The outskirts of the Forbidden Land also ignited Black Flame, causing the surrounding temperature to soar once more.
…
In the distance, beneath a dune, Ye Jingcheng and Flying Puppet sat opposite each other.
Waiting for the Flying Puppet’s memory to be received.
Ye Jingcheng also exhaled a long breath.
No teleportation array in the Forbidden Land is good news for the Ye Family.
Previously, he urgently explored the Forbidden Land because he was worried there might be teleportation arrays to the Central Domain or Eastern Domain in the four Forbidden Lands, teleportation arrays are certainly beneficial to the Ye Family.
But they are also a double-edged sword, especially when the Ye Family’s strength is insufficient.
At this moment, even if a Golden Core peak cultivator came to the Desert Sea, it would be enough to make the Ye Family miserable.
Before the Ye Family’s Earth Dragon Demon King breaks through, not a single error can be made!
And as long as the Earth Dragon breaks through, these Black Crow Demon Kings will sooner or later submit, or be exterminated.
Those Black Crow Flame Ears will naturally also sooner or later become Ye Family’s things.
Therefore, Ye Jingcheng is not anxious about those Flame Ears. Even though they could currently greatly enhance the Red Flame Fox’s strength, he is not rushed.
Furthermore, if these Black Crows are contracted, the Ye Family could study the cultivation method for the Black Crow Flame Ear.
Black Crow has lived here for so long, with so many Flame Ears, indicating that these Black Crows will definitely cultivate Flame Ears.
At that time, the Ye Family might even improve the cultivation method, increasing the yield of Black Crow Flame Ear!
Making it a long-term cultivation of Tier Three and even Tier Four Spiritual Medicine for the Ye Family.
Now the Ye Family’s water attribute treasure includes the Water Spirit Bead, if it also has the Black Crow Flame Ear for the fire attribute, future development will certainly be smoother!
This is why, although Ye Jingcheng could now seize some Flame Ears, he hasn’t taken action.
Fearful of alerting the enemy.
Of course, if possible, Ye Jingcheng would also like to throw some Demon-enticing Grass into this Black Crow Forbidden Land.
The best scenario would be for these Black Crows to produce one or two Black Crow Eggs. That way, when the Ye Family nets in the future, the harvest will be greater!
After considering it all, Ye Jingcheng also vanished into the distant desert.
Heading straight for the next Forbidden Land.
…
East Sea Celestial Horse Sea Domain.
Rolling waves continuously wash over the beach.
Numerous Spiritual Ships and Spirit Shuttles also head towards Celestial Horse Island.
Most of these cultivators are Loose Cultivators and small-clan cultivators who have heard of the auction and the human race’s major counteroffensive!
With Penglai Immortal Sect backing, everyone now believes Celestial Horse Pass is a land brimming with opportunities.
Besides the auction, they can also drive straight into the Outer Sea for Demon Hunting.
Biyu Island is the only path between Celestial Horse Island and Cyan Crow Islands.
The entire island is not large, but from a bird’s-eye view, it appears like a Jade-colored Spirit Fish.
In the center of the island, there is a Biyu Mountain.
At this moment, four cultivators are gathered on the mountain peak.
They hold Spirit Discs in their hands while observing everything around them.
If Ye Xuecang were here, he would recognize the cultivators as Master Xuanhu from the Cyan Spirit Trading Association and Bai Changsheng from the Bai Family.
“Daoist Bai, guarding here, can we really wait for the wicked of the Yun Family?”
“Of course, not only can we wait for the Yun Family, but Master Huangquan from Jade Return Sect will likely also be concealed among a group of people!”
“Therefore, we only need to pay attention to Golden Core cultivators. They have ginseng roots, which is the condition your Elder Qing promised to our Bai Family patriarch. Daoist, you wouldn’t fear a mere Master Huangquan, would you?” Bai Changsheng couldn’t help but tease.
“Naturally not, it’s just that in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain over the years, because Nascent Soul cultivators didn’t enter, quite a few Golden Cores have been born in secret. If some are hiding and get infuriated, it’s possible they might band together. I merely think it’s more prudent with our two families’ patriarchs at Celestial Horse Pass!” Master Xuanhu couldn’t help but snort coldly.
“Celestial Horse Pass won’t do, that would alert the enemy, only here is suitable, besides it’s just a small Jade Family and Xu Family, could they dare say anything?” Bai Changsheng waved his hand, clearly indifferent.
Once obtaining the ginseng root, it would be a great merit.
He wouldn’t care about the demise of one or two people.
Moreover, if the Bai Family successfully cultivates the Nine Curves Spirit Ginseng in the future, the profit may also include him.
