The golden red summer sun streamed through the window, casting a colorful halo on the table.
The Red Flame Fox seemed to feel a bit warmer, and it shook its body heavily.
As its crimson fur fluttered, it stirred up sparkling red dust particles.
Ye Jingcheng, lying on the stone bed, also awoke, his eyes carrying a hint of weakness but filled with the joy of accomplishment.
In front of him appeared two more Five Poison Bees, swirling continuously, performing various complex maneuvers.
They then flew over the Red Flame Fox, out of the window, and scattered toward Lingyun Peak.
After some time, the Five Poison Bees flew back, landing in Ye Jingcheng’s hand, a new memory flooding into his mind.
Ye Jingcheng smiled with satisfaction, the second Soul Split was finally complete!
Next, he only needed to wait for the Soul Split to grow to a certain level, then he could perform Soul Fusion again; perhaps this time, his Divine Soul might break through once more.
Reaching the Divine Sense of the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment might not be out of the question.
However, the severe pain and weakness from the Soul Split did not let his smile last long.
He took a Jade Soul Pill from his chest and put it into his mouth, as a great amount of Soul Power merged into his mind.
The feeling of weakness and pain from the Divine Soul splitting was instantly alleviated quite a bit.
Moreover, the Divine Soul was continuously recovering.
"This Jade Soul Pill seems more suitable for restoration." Ye Jingcheng felt his Divine Soul was much better, though still somewhat weak and painful.
But compared to when the Soul Split just completed, it was much improved.
The Jade Soul Pill seemed better suited for nourishing Soul Power than increasing it.
Ye Jingcheng got up, and the Red Flame Fox immediately followed, chirping, as if asking Ye Jingcheng if he wanted to perform Alchemy.
Ye Jingcheng shook his head, rubbed the latter’s head.
In his current state, even refining a Cyan Spirit Pill would be challenging.
He walked into the courtyard and saw the Spiritual Peach had grown a bit larger again.
If it was previously the size of a fingernail, it was now the size of a thumb.
And it had only been just over a month since he began his seclusion for Soul Splitting.
If it continued at this pace, it would mature completely in a month or two.
The Spiritual Peaches were now glowing with a noticeable Spiritual Light, different from other Spiritual Light, and had shallow, mysterious Spirit Patterns on them.
They formed a stark contrast to the pure white nearby Spiritual Peach.
The Spirit Patterns on these Spiritual Peaches were obscure and mysterious, he couldn’t trace them even if he tried.
Obviously, these Spirit Patterns were beyond the understanding of his cultivation; they might be associated with extending life, and Ye Jingcheng could not succeed in recording them with a Jade Talisman.
After several attempts, Ye Jingcheng gave up.
As he stepped out of the house, several other Spirit Beasts came out from their respective Beast Houses.
Each of them appeared extremely excited, especially the Jade Qilin Snake, its body suffused with White Jade Spiritual Light, and the Jade Qilin Tail Saber glinting fiercely.
Moreover, its aura was not much weaker than the Red Flame Fox.
It seemed not far from the Mid-stage Second Tier, which was impressive considering the Jade Qilin Snake’s breakthrough was years after the Red Flame Fox.
This progress showcased the Jade Qilin Snake’s talent, indeed slightly superior to the Red Flame Fox’s.
Unfortunately, he hadn’t yet tracked down the main ingredient for the Tier Two Jade Qilin Pill, otherwise, the Jade Qilin Snake might advance again by consuming it, accelerating its cultivation further.
In the Treasure Book regarding the Jade Qilin Snake, upon further evolution, it would start showing traits of a Half-Flood Dragon, possessing higher bloodline quality than the great demon Jade Qilin Snake of Jade Dragon Valley, which Ye Jingcheng earnestly anticipated.
Besides the Jade Qilin Snake, the Golden Scale Beast was also quite jubilant, though its cultivation progress left something to be desired.
Nonetheless, Ye Jingcheng understood, as it was the last to break through, which was only natural.
Moreover, the Golden Scale Beast was extremely rigorous about its training; it was the type to never admit defeat.
Ye Jingcheng took out Tier Two Spirit Cultivation Pill, Fire Heart Pill, Purple Wood Pill, and Green Water Pill, and began feeding them individually to the Spirit Beasts. Once finished, he infused some Treasure Light and Spirit Liquid into the Wood Demon.
He wasn’t stingy with the Spiritual Peaches that could extend spiritual lifespan.
And since the Wood Demon had a Soul Contract with him, he wasn’t worried about it playing any tricks.
"Peach Wood, how long until your Spirit Fruit matures?"
"Master, it will be enough in two months, though if you continue today’s generosity, it could be shortened to a month!" The Peach Wood Demon bowed diligently, then clasped its hands in courtesy.
Evidently, this Wood Demon knew quite a bit, and since consuming the Spirit Transformation Pill, its spiritual wisdom had been growing stronger.
"Good!" Ye Jingcheng calculated the time, which didn’t conflict with his planned visit to Taichang Market. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑~𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖾~𝖓𝖊𝖙
Though the Wood Demon could retract its main body at any time, just like Spirit Beasts returned into the Spirit Beast Bag, each transplantation would cause some loss of Primordial Qi.
Ye Jingcheng would rather wait for the Spiritual Peaches to mature, to avoid unnecessarily diminishing the effect of the Spirit Fruit.
Currently, Mo Hongyuan was unlikely to leave Taichang Market easily, and neither the Ye family nor Chu family had found a suitable day yet.
He need not be in too much hurry.
Ye Jingcheng retrieved Spirit Tea, and after feeding a few Spirit Beasts, let them practice in the courtyard, still arranging them to take turns in combat.
The Golden Scale Beast unleashed the Earth Spike Skill, targeting the Red Flame Fox, the Jade Qilin Snake, and the Three-Colored Cloud Deer.
It was training their evasion, and once sufficiently trained, Ye Jingcheng had the Jade Qilin Snake attack the Golden Scale Beast.
The massive Jade Qilin Tail Saber cast down each time, sparking terrifying golden sparks, and this was without the Jade Qilin Snake exerting its full strength.
The result naturally was the Golden Scale Beast ending up quite miserable each time, covered in injuries, whereas the Jade Qilin Snake and Red Flame Fox were rarely hit.
