The 44 Unyielding Vengeful Spirits of Nantian Bao
With the yellow light ball's threat gone, Ye Qin finally felt at ease to cultivate the Dew Grass and began his cultivation. The cyan jade pendant had exploded into jade fragments when the yellow light ball appeared, scattering all over the ground. Fortunately, the spiritual energy within the jade fragments hadn't decreased in the slightest and could still be used to cultivate the Dew Grass.
Ye Qin gathered up those jade pendants and scattered them all over the fields.
The fields were a bit messy, and more than a dozen exposed grasses inside suffered the misfortune of being burned to ashes by the fireballs released by Nan Tianba's Fireball Technique.
Ye Qin felt a pang of regret in his heart for the innocent Lu Cao that had been affected, it was enough to waste a day's worth of spiritual herbs.
As the fragments of Qingyu Pei were scattered on the fields, the dew grass began to absorb the spiritual energy within them, growing at a visible and rapid rate. More than ten stalks of dew grass bloomed and bore fruit in an extremely short period of time, only stopping when the spiritual energy from the fragments had been completely absorbed. And more than ten stalks of dew grass had transformed into eighty or ninety stalks.
Ye Qin used his divine consciousness to move one of the plants out of the Purple Mansion and into reality, where he directly ate it. He then closed his eyes, sat in meditation, and transformed the spiritual energy of the dew grass into yuanqi through his cultivation. After that, his primordial spirit swallowed it.
Endless void.
It was unknown how much time had passed when a yellow light appeared on the distant horizon, flying towards the floating island at an extremely fast speed.
"Haha, I'm back again - Nan Tian Ba!"
A loud whistle echoed throughout the entire floating island.
In almost the blink of an eye, a yellow light ball flashed into existence above the floating island.
Ye Qin was taken aback as he picked up a white mangrove leaf inside the floating island.
Ye Qin stood still, staring at the yellow light ball that had left and returned, his heart almost bursting with anger. How did this yellow ball not get lost in the endless void, yet it came back so quickly? If it continued to entangle itself with him, he would be unable to cultivate in peace.
That yellow light sphere was bounced once, now it's much dimmer than before, with a listless and obscure appearance, as if it had consumed a lot of its vitality. It wasn't much better than Bi Ye Qin's white light halo.
Nan Tian Ba floated in the air above the floating island, laughing and not getting too close to Ye Qin. He also had some fear of this kid's crazy energy, if he was bitten again, it would be a big trouble, so it's better to keep a distance.
Of course, it wants to get rid of Ye Qin, only by using spells like "Fireball" can it be done.
However, launching the fireball technique requires a little bit of time, about three breaths. This little bit of time is enough for Ye Qinfeng to enter the light shield, making it useless even with the fireball. And to launch and maintain the fireball for a long time is very consuming of one's vital energy.
"Kid, this protective treasure of yours is quite impressive! It didn't even flinch at my fireball technique and sent me flying instead! However, it's a pity that I've seen through it - it's just a defensive treasure after all, without any attacking capabilities whatsoever. No threat to me at all. Even if you were to send me flying hundreds of miles away, I'd be back in the blink of an eye. Ah, kid, tell me, what is this strange stone monument that's so precious? In my decades of roaming Pingzhou, I've never seen anything like it before. Could it be a spiritual artifact?"
A yellow light ball came to the vicinity of the large stone monument, tightly attached to the light circle shield, and opened its eyes to look inside. It saw some ancient and clumsy characters on the large stone monument, but it didn't recognize any of the words above, and was puzzled in its heart. This made it even more curious, feeling that this large stone monument was not an ordinary treasure.
It used the strongest attack method, but it couldn't break through this shield. After several attempts before, it learned its lesson and no longer actively attacked the light circle shield to avoid being counterattacked by the light shield.
If it had a physical body, attacking several more times would be harmless, merely consuming the physical body's magical power. However, without a physical body, forcibly casting spells would completely consume its primordial energy. This primordial spirit, which had long lost its physical body, could not obtain any replenishment of primordial energy; every time it cast a spell, it would consume a large amount of primordial energy. When the primordial energy was exhausted, this primordial spirit would also disperse into nothingness.
Since it can't break through the light shield, it won't waste its own energy for nothing. As long as it doesn't attack, this shield won't trigger any counterattack, letting it stick to the light circle and peek inside.
Ye Qin didn't take the initiative to provoke it either. Now everyone is in the third layer of Qi Refining, and their light balls are almost equally bright. They bit each other, hurting so much they were about to die, but neither could gain any advantage. He definitely didn't want to go through that kind of pain again.
Nan Tian Ba couldn't help but lose interest in Ye Qin, and began to re-examine the entire floating island. It looked at the sky of the floating island with confusion, where there were dozens of threads of light.
It wasn't long before it was surprised, floating over to grab those rays of light and see what they were. When it grasped the first strand of white fluff, the originally dim light actually brightened a bit, recovering a hint of its vitality.
It involuntarily shook its body violently, and a brilliant light suddenly burst out.
"What's going on here? Without a physical body, it's fundamentally impossible to cultivate and increase one's yuanqi. Why is it that I, without a physical body, can still increase my yuanqi and cultivate? This is too unbelievable! I've never heard of such an extraordinary phenomenon before. It goes against the common sense that a yuanqi that has lost its physical body cannot be cultivated. What kind of place is this, where such miracles happen?"
Nan Tian Ba let out a loud shout, staring at his own brightened light sphere body in shock and excitement. He was almost uncontrollably ecstatic with this surprising discovery that made him go wild. With this thrilling and maddening find, he no longer had the heart to care about Ye Qin inside the Ben Ming Yuan Shen Stele, but instead went crazy chasing after those white fluffs.
Before long, almost all of the white mangroves on the floating island were eaten by him, and also restored some vitality to what was originally a dull and weak it.
"Shut up, those white wheat are mine!"
Ye Qin's eyes blazed with anger, and he wanted to tear Huang Qiu apart. He had painstakingly cultivated a large amount of white mang grass, but it was all taken by this Huang Qiu. This Huang Qiu was competing with him for the white mang grass, which would greatly slow down his own cultivation speed.
Ye Qin was unequivocal in this regard, and couldn't care about the pain anymore, suddenly rushing towards the yellow light ball.
"Squeak"
Huang Guang was bitten hard by Ye Qin and let out a mournful cry. It was in so much pain that its eyes burst forth with a fierce glare, unwilling to show weakness, it suddenly opened its mouth wide and bit towards Ye Qin. I'll bite you to death!
"Ah!"
"Squeak"
"Ah!"
"Squeak"
It's unknown how long it took for the fighting to stop within the floating island. The two Yuan Shen lay on the floating island, weak and in pain, without even half the strength to continue fighting and biting each other, not even having the energy to curse at each other.
Now they are completely even, and it's impossible to tell who is higher or lower in cultivation.
Nan Tian Ba was in great pain, but he didn't give up. He floated away to the floating islands in the sky and ate the white mangos there. He really couldn't help himself from tasting these white mangos.
Ye Qin did not stop Nan Tianba from eating the remaining dozens of white mangos. Anyway, no matter how many Nan Tianba ate, he would bite back at him, who was afraid of whom?
After swallowing dozens of white fluff in mid-air on the floating island, Nan Tian Ba felt great and invigorated his spirit. Not satisfied, he frantically searched for more white fluff in every rock crevice and corner of the entire floating island, muttering to himself: "Where are those little things? There can't be so few of them. Those little things must have come from somewhere, I didn't see them when I first arrived."
