In the Storage Pouch of the old man Su Ping, Yang Che found quite a few peculiar fiery red bottles and jars.
These bottles and jars contained red insect eggs.
From the faint aura of these insect eggs, Yang Che immediately determined that they must be Crystal Fire Ant eggs.
The insect eggs of special rare insects can be kept alive in a Storage Pouch for a considerable amount of time.
Therefore, Yang Che was not surprised that these insect eggs appeared in the Storage Pouch.
He quickly took out these insect eggs.
Just like when he cultivated the Winged Fire Dragonfly, he quickly performed the Control Spirit Art, transforming a drop of his essence blood into a fist-sized blood mist, which he then dripped onto each of these insect eggs.
Afterward, Yang Che prepared to place all these insect eggs on the leaves of the nine-leaf dark yang fruit for cultivation.
Since the Winged Fire Dragonfly, ranked seventy-seventh on the rare insect list, could evolve to a very formidable state after continuously gnawing on the nine-leaf dark yang fruit.
Then, if the Crystal Fire Ant, ranked fifty-ninth, also gnawed on the nine-leaf dark yang fruit, it would surely undergo similar advancement.
More importantly, from the section on 'Rare Birds, Beasts, and Insects' about the Crystal Fire Ant, Yang Che learned that the Crystal Fire Ant possessed a characteristic that greatly appealed to him.
That is, Crystal Fire Ants are very adept at burrowing into the ground for hidden attacks.
This was a capability that the Winged Fire Dragonfly did not possess.
Bringing these insect eggs to the Mystic Ranked Spiritual Soil, Yang Che looked closely and suddenly noticed that the nine-leaf dark yang fruit seemed to have undergone some strange changes.
The nine-leaf dark yang fruit, which was originally about a foot tall, had strangely grown taller?
It had become over two feet tall.
Its nine dark green, thorny small leaves had also grown a bit larger.
The two remaining intact dark fruits on it were also more than double their original size.
Upon discovering this change in the nine-leaf dark yang fruit, Yang Che was overjoyed.
Previously, in order to Cultivate even more powerful Winged Fire Dragonflies, he hadn't even been willing to eat these mo yang fruit himself; each time the mo yang fruit matured, he let the Winged Fire Dragonflies take turns eating them.
This also meant that Yang Che hadn't paid too much attention to the slow changes of the nine-leaf dark yang fruit.
And since this Spiritual Soil advanced to the Profound Rank, coupled with the presence of the Lingyan Spring and the Spirit Eye Tree, the maturation cycle of the nine-leaf dark yang fruit also became shorter and shorter.
From maturing once every four years, to once every two years, and now to less than a year, the nine-leaf dark yang fruit increasingly astonished Yang Che.
And the more miraculous the nine-leaf dark yang fruit, this Immortal Plant, became, the more Yang Che naturally felt that the Stone Cave in Wanglong Mountain was not simple.
"It seems Zi Yin was right; that Stone Cave indeed has too many oddities and peculiarities."
Yang Che muttered to himself.
He then placed the Crystal Fire Ant eggs one by one on the much wider leaves of the nine-leaf dark yang fruit.
Having done this, Yang Che secretly decided that once the Ancient Teleportation Array was repaired, if he could successfully leave this Ancient Remnant Sand Sea, he would immediately return to the Wanglong Mountain Grotto.
Not only was that Stone Cave full of too much mystery, but also because he was now unable to continue Cultivating the Heaven and Earth Chaos Art, and he had to find the subsequent Cultivation methods.
And currently, only the Stone Cave of Wanglong Mountain might hold some clues.
He continued to tally his gains, especially from the Su Family treasury. However, there were not many treasures in the treasury: three hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones, five thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, several Magical Artifacts and Magic Treasures, and a large quantity of Artifact Refining and Alchemy Materials. Yang Che guessed that the valuable items were likely in Su Tian's Storage Pouch, but unfortunately, they entered the Space Turbulence.
The numerous Storage Pouches obtained from the Su Family Core Formation Cultivators killed in the Dark Demon Valley contained quite a few Magical Artifacts and Magic Treasures, but none were found to have any special abilities or particularly formidable power.
However, he did acquire a considerable amount of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
He collected nearly a thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones in total.
For Yang Che, this was a substantial fortune.
In addition, there were some full pattern star stones, but not too many, only a little over three thousand in total.
After dealing with the Su Family Cultivator's Storage Pouches, Yang Che's gaze fell upon the Storage Pouches of the two Early Golden Core Stage old men who had ambushed him earlier.
Opening these two Storage Pouches, he found that there was nothing valuable inside, and even Spirit Stones were pitifully scarce.
The Spirit Stones from both Storage Pouches combined amounted to less than one hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones and over two thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
However, the wooden fish Magic Treasure and the ancient bronze small cauldron Magic Treasure had quite some marvelous uses.
The wooden fish Magic Treasure could emit bubbles, which immediately made Yang Che think that he could refine strange alien poison smoke and place it into this wooden fish Magic Treasure for unexpected sneak attacks.
As for the ancient bronze small cauldron Magic Treasure, after Yang Che infused his magical power, a strange expression suddenly appeared on his face.
This Magic Treasure was a bit odd.
Yang Che found that after infusing magical power, he could only activate it to grow larger and smash it out with its formidable strength.
However, deep inside the small cauldron, there seemed to be something strange; magical power could not be infused, and Divine Sense could not probe it either.
This piqued Yang Che's interest.
But after a careful study, he found that the secret of this small cauldron did not seem to be so easy to uncover.
After pondering for a while, Yang Che reluctantly put it away, intending to continue exploring the secret of this small cauldron when a suitable opportunity arose in the future.
Finally, Yang Che took out the Storage Pouches of those Cultivators who had claimed to be from Wanxing City.
First, the Storage Pouch of the Late Stage Golden Core Stage old man.
In this old man's Storage Pouch, Yang Che found a 'black banner' that somewhat resembled the scarlet banner of Su Ding, the Su Family head.
This black banner also contained many living souls, but the aura of these living souls was clearly far inferior to those within the scarlet banner.
Yang Che again vaguely sensed that there seemed to be some connection between them?
However, after a brief thought, since it didn't concern him, Yang Che was too lazy to think too much about it.
Besides this black banner, there were also some Talismans and Spirit Stones, as well as various miscellaneous Materials.
Next, Yang Che opened the Storage Pouches of the two old women who had used the dark green bead Magic Treasure.
There were not many Magic Treasures or Talismans inside the Storage Pouches; besides the two dark green bead Magic Treasures, each of the two old women surprisingly possessed over ten thousand full pattern star stones, totaling nearly thirty thousand.
Yang Che naturally happily accepted these full pattern star stones.
After a simple sorting and tidying, Yang Che casually opened the Storage Pouch of the beautiful female Cultivator at the Early Golden Core Stage who had spoken to him about good Karma and bad Karma.
The moment he opened it, Yang Che suddenly threw the Storage Pouch forward.
At the same time, he immediately released 'Dark Domain', enveloping the Storage Pouch.
A wisp of black smoke eerily floated out from the mouth of the Storage Pouch.
And immediately condensed into a phantom resembling a middle-aged noblewoman.
"Hmph, what petty scoundrel dares to kill my little daughter! My Wan Family will surely annihilate your entire clan, refine the living souls of your nine generations, and curse your future descendants to be slaves of my Wan Family for generations!"
The middle-aged noblewoman spoke ferociously and viciously,
Her entire illusory body suddenly transformed back into black smoke, instantly shooting towards Yang Che's glabella.
Yang Che unhesitatingly released the Nine Heart Thunder Flame, intending to incinerate this black smoke completely.
However, after the Nine Heart Thunder Flame enveloped the black smoke, it found itself unable to burn it away!
"A mere Core Formation Cultivator, you think you are worthy to destroy my Wan Family's secret art?"
A cold and disdainful, vicious voice came from within the black smoke.
The black smoke was about to touch Yang Che's glabella.
Suddenly, a bolt of thunder flashed out of nowhere, striking directly onto this black smoke.
Accompanied by a series of sizzling strange noises, the black smoke rapidly began to collapse and dissipate.
But before it completely vanished, an incredibly shocked and disbelieving voice faintly echoed within: "Thunder Dark Mutated Dual Immortal Roots, how... how is that... possible..."
