Accompanied by the crimson glow and the evening glow at the end of the sky, Ye Jingcheng stood at the city gate, watching Ye Xingliu and the others depart into the distance.
In this instant, Ye Jingcheng couldn't quite distinguish which was the evening glow and which was the red glow of the Market.
He only knew that the Spiritual Ship was still the one from his memory.
His Divine Sense followed the Spiritual Ship into the distance, and only after sending it off for a hundred feet did Ye Jingcheng retract his Divine Sense.
The city gate remained bustling, just like a mortal city, full of noise and excitement, with the only difference being that entering the city required spending Spirit Stones.
Ye Jingcheng glanced around but didn't immediately enter the city. Instead, he flew twenty miles away to find a deserted barren mountain, set up an Array, and began training the Golden Scale Beast and the Three-Colored Cloud Deer.
Around the Market, cultivators who did the same were not in the minority.
After all, the land within the Market was limited, making it inconvenient to practice some Magic or Secret Techniques. If one damages a house, the compensation would be quite substantial in Spirit Stones.
But outside the Market, it was simple.
Moreover, Ye Jingcheng himself also needed to train a bit. Maintaining constant Cultivation and practicing Alchemy Scriptures could undoubtedly lead to successful cultivation, but in the Cultivation Realm, competition could not be avoided. If the Ye Family were a Nascent Soul Clan, it would be fine, and he could steadily cultivate all the way to Nascent Soul.
However, in the current situation, that was not possible.
He took out a set of Array Discs and directly deployed it on the spot. Before Ye Xingliu left, Ye Jingcheng specifically requested an Array Disc with a large range. This Tier Two Middle Sand Cloud Array was sufficient to cover most of the mountain peak.
When the yellow Spirit Shield of the Array covered the mountain peak, only then did Ye Jingcheng release the Crimson Flame Fox, the Golden Scale Beast, and the Three-Colored Cloud Deer.
Under Ye Jingcheng's command, the Crimson Flame Fox immediately fired flames toward the Golden Scale Beast; he had Treasure Light, which could heal the latter.
The Golden Scale Beast did indeed need greater stimulation; otherwise, with its talent, it would really find it difficult to keep up with the Jade Qilin Snake and the Crimson Flame Fox.
As for the Three-Colored Cloud Deer, Ye Jingcheng also felt that the latter's progress was slow.
After all, the Three-Colored Cloud Deer had a high base bloodline, and its lack of breakthroughs only indicated it had too few struggles. For Demon Beasts, the best growth came from being continually injured, hunting, and being hunted.
Otherwise, it wasted many of the Treasure Book's characteristics.
The Three-Colored Cloud Deer had not previously undergone Ye Jingcheng's special training, and at the moment, it showed some confusion in the unfamiliar scene.
But seeing the Crimson Flame Fox hurl one Fireball after another at the Golden Scale Beast, its eyes suddenly sparkled with a hint of amusement.
It seemed somewhat gleeful, holding its head high, its wings rhythmically flapping as if cheering.
However, in the next moment, Ye Jingcheng launched a Falling Flame Fire Feather, aiming it at the Three-Colored Cloud Deer.
Earlier, Ye Jingcheng could only condense seven or eight Fire Feathers. Now in the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, combined with a Late Stage of Foundation Establishment Divine Sense, he could already condense twenty Fire Feathers, densely packed.
The Three-Colored Cloud Deer reacted quickly, but after all, it was only in the Late Stage of First Tier and had no time to respond.
Attacked in this way, it struck through its sturdy deer body, and in an instant, it ignited in flames.
Fortunately, with a wave of its wings and a snort of its nose, the flames were extinguished, though it still suffered some injuries.
At this point, it understood that Ye Jingcheng was also training it.
It let out a high-pitched yodel, as if to say it wasn't like the Golden Scale Beast over there.
But soon, Ye Jingcheng tossed out a Cyan Wood Spirit Seed.
However, this Cyan Wood Spirit Seed was not from the Vajra Vine but from the Poisoned Thorn Wood.
The three Cyan Wood Spirit Seeds of the Vajra Vine were quite precious, and the Poisoned Thorn Wood was different.
And as soon as the Cyan Wood Spirit Seed was thrown out, its growth speed was incredibly fast.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into a large patch of Poison Thorn vines, binding toward the Three-Colored Cloud Deer.
In that moment, the Three-Colored Cloud Deer let out an even more displeased yodel.
Because, sensing it, its Spiritual Power was being drained, which clearly indicated that Ye Jingcheng was using its Spiritual Power.
Under its wings, a few seeds were also tossed and quickly grew.
In the next moment, they transformed into three massive Cyan Pine Wood trees, and in a short time, they morphed into three strong and powerful Wood Giants about ten feet tall.
Witnessing this scene, even Ye Jingcheng was somewhat surprised, evidently unaware of when the Three-Colored Cloud Deer had switched the seeds on its body.
At the moment, the condensed Cyan Pine Wood Giants entangled all the Poisoned Thorn Wood, feeling mighty enough to uproot mountains, and in an instant, those Poison Thorn Vines were torn apart.
As for the poison of the Poisoned Thorn Wood, it did not affect the Wood Giants in the slightest.
Seeing this, the Three-Colored Cloud Deer still retained its long breath.
With a fierce inhale, the Essence Qi of the Poisoned Thorn Wood seemed to vanish.
It soon stopped waving, and seeing this scene, Ye Jingcheng was even more delighted.
He had not anticipated that the combat power of the Three-Colored Cloud Deer was seemingly extremely formidable, which he had never noticed before.
Yet, reflecting on it, although the Cultivation level of the Three-Colored Cloud Deer was inferior, it had consumed quite a sizable amount of Tier Two Purple Wood Pills.
Increasingly satisfied with the Three-Colored Cloud Deer, Ye Jingcheng was all the more determined to train it. With still four to five months until the Winter Solstice, even if it could not achieve a breakthrough before then, enhancing its strength would be beneficial.
This training lasted for five to six hours, as the Spirit Beasts began to run low on Spiritual Energy, and the Treasure Light was also nearly exhausted.
Only then did Ye Jingcheng stop.
To him, now, every effort could potentially offer a bit more vitality.
He would not pray for other Foundation Establishment Cultivators to be weak, nor for some last-minute brilliance.
After completing these, Ye Jingcheng then packed up the Array and flew toward Taichang Market.
Though such training cost quite a sum of Spirit Stones every few days, to Ye Jingcheng, the expense of city entrance Spirit Stones at this moment was no longer significant.
Yet in the next moment, Ye Jingcheng hesitated slightly as he saw two figures flying from afar.
One silhouette rode at the front on a Flying Shuttle Spiritual Artifact.
Following behind was a single Leaf Spiritual Ship.
Ye Jingcheng frowned slightly, for he was astonished to discover that the figure escaping in front was none other than Xu Xiuqing, whom he had encountered a few times before.
And pursuing her was that old man once again.
Only this time, Xu Xiuqing's strength had reached the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, appearing to be near a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, and she was evidently injured.
Clearly, during this time, she experienced an unexpected encounter.
If it were another cultivator, Ye Jingcheng might really have left it be, as he wasn't keen on meddling.
But after all, the Golden Scale Beast was a gift from Xu Xiuqing.
Besides, last time he was in the capacity of a Loose Cultivator and could not act, but today he stood in a recognized capacity.
Before Ye Jingcheng could make a move, the old man over there seemed to notice Ye Jingcheng on the side and pulled out a Tier Two Spirit Talisman from his robes, which he threw toward Xu Xiuqing.
Ye Jingcheng frowned, as a Black Wood Coffin flew from his hand, swallowing the entire Talisman within.
Not a single noise was made.
"Evil Cultivator?" The old man's eyes widened in shock, and he exclaimed quietly.
Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng's hands shimmered with Spiritual Light again, and a Profound Silver Needle flew over, directly aiming at Xu Xiuqing's pursuer.
Piercing through the latter's brow, in an instant, the Spiritual Ship along with the old man's corpse fell towards the ground.
