Chapter 93 Spider Mountain (Please subscribe and vote!)
Based on the speed last time, Wang Yu estimated that it would take two months to travel.
That's not the case. Despite its larger size, it's much faster than Gu Zhengshun's bone boat. Having such a means of transportation is far better than that damn black silk magic artifact.
He wanted it too.
In less than a month, the Spider Mountain in Qiongzhou was already in sight.
Arriving safely brought Wang, who had been on tenterhooks, a sigh of relief. Calculating the time, Wei Zhong had also emerged from seclusion; he wondered what might happen within the sect.
Luckily, I ran fast.
During this month of travel, Wang Yu was either cultivating or spending time with Situ Hong, learning more about Spider Mountain.
The Ghost-Eyed Spider is a Yin-attribute demonic beast with the potential to reach the second tier. Its adult form can reach the late stage of the first tier, and the Spider Queen is almost always at the second tier.
Each of those Ghost Eye Caves has a Spider Queen.
The Spiderheart Grass Spirit Field requires the excrement and bodily fluids of Ghost Eye Spiders to grow, and when they go to guard it, they also need to enter the Ghost Eye Cave to collect the excrement.
This task is not only arduous but also dangerous.
Their bodily fluid needs are mainly met through hunting. They usually act together with disciples of the Five Yin Peaks, where the prey takes their eyeballs and they extract their bodily fluids.
Despite Spider Mountain being a captive area, the monsters there are not pigs; they possess intelligence and free will, except for the Spider Queen, who is controlled by the secret techniques of the sixth peak of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, [Fierce Dark Peak].
Its numerous offspring, the Ghost-Eyed Spiders, live in a semi-wild state and are extremely ferocious, their aggression no less than that of wild monsters.
Otherwise, there would be no need for so many people to come to Spider Mountain.
We need to reserve some funds to avoid delaying production.
There's no doubt that Wang Yu will team up with Situ Hong. It's good to cultivate some chemistry early on, communicate more, and deepen the foundation of trust.
“Brother Wang, the ghost eye of this ghost-eyed spider is a valuable thing. It is not only useful to me, but also a treasure for your Cold Blood Technique.”
At this moment, the two were standing in a corner of the deck, gazing into the distance at their destination, chatting quietly. There were cultivators like them everywhere on the deck.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yu immediately became interested.
"Oh, how so?"
Situ Hong opened his palm, and a small whirlwind of equally cold spiritual energy swirled within it, from which the howling of evil spirits could be faintly heard. It was his natal ghost spirit, the Cold Wind Ghost, which he had refined.
After some time, Situ Hong had almost reached the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining, and was not far from the ninth level of Qi Refining. His spiritual power had even been condensed into a semi-liquid state.
They are quite strong.
Compared to demonic beasts of the same level, human cultivators have an overwhelming advantage in all aspects except for their physical strength. If they have any combat wisdom, they are almost guaranteed to win if they are at the same cultivation level.
Of course, the human cultivators mentioned here refer only to the disciples of Nascent Soul sects, excluding independent cultivators.
Among the demonic beasts, there are also those with powerful bloodlines, who are also not included in the regular count.
Situ Hong's cultivation technique is called the "Heavenly Yin Technique," which shares the same attributes as Wang Yu's, but it places greater emphasis on the Yin attribute, with the Cold attribute being secondary.
He is primarily of the cold attribute, with the yin attribute being secondary.
"Besides being used for alchemy and weapon crafting, the Ghost Eye of the Ghost Spider is a top-grade medicine for cultivators of the Yin and Cold nature. After taking it, it can not only brighten the eyes, but also help refine Yin and Cold spiritual energy."
"When used in conjunction with a spirit-gathering array, its medicinal effect is roughly equivalent to a mid-grade first-tier cultivation elixir, and it can be taken together with cultivation pills, with a maximum of about ten pills."
"Similarly, the stronger the spider that produces Ghost Eyes, the stronger the effect. If it is a second-tier Ghost Eye Spider Queen, it can be of great help to Foundation Establishment cultivators."
After hearing Situ Hong's explanation, Wang Yu's eyes lit up. He was worried that his cultivation speed had reached its limit and he lacked other methods to accelerate his cultivation, but unexpectedly, another one came up.
but.
"Brother Situ, will spiritual root aptitude affect the effectiveness of this item?"
“Uh…this…” Situ Hong was taken aback.
"I've heard that the Ghost Eye's effects are relatively mild, so I'll try it out and see."
"That's true."
The two had been talking for a short while when the giant spirit ship began its descent, and the entire Spider Mountain came into view.
This mountain is not high, only about 1,700 or 1,800 meters.
There are a total of twenty-one ghost eye caves distributed on it. The rocks are pitch black, there is no soil or vegetation, and everywhere there are gray clumps of spider webs.
The terrain is somewhat similar to that of Xuan Gu Mountain, with large areas of spiritual fields at the foot of the mountain and a cluster of farm-like buildings in the middle.
Scattered along the edge of the spirit field are some stone houses.
The soil in the field emitted a faint stench, was brownish-green in color, and was covered with a lot of spider silk, like a thermal blanket made of rice straw.
The spider heart grass plants are arranged in neat rows, black and red in color, with branches and leaves shaped like spider legs, and a red, fleshy, tumor-like grass fruit at the top, which is the origin of the name "spider heart".
The giant spirit boat stopped at the edge of the spirit field. After more than 800 people disembarked, the woman in the light veil put it away.
Wang Yu and Situ Hong stood at the back, waiting for the Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed there to complete the handover. There were only about three hundred people left, and they boarded another spirit boat and departed.
Thus, Spider Mountain was completely taken over by their group.
After advancing another kilometer, they arrived at the center of the spirit field, where the disciples of the Five Yin Peak and the Cold Blood Peak separated and were assigned tasks one by one.
Wang Yu had experience in taking care of spirit fields, so he didn't need to enter the spider cave for the time being. He was given two acres of land to take care of the spider heart grass inside.
The accommodation was in a stone house next door, and they even gave us a booklet with important notes.
The situation at Five Yin Peak is more complicated. They need to go to the nearest city, Heart-Eroding City, to get food to feed the Ghost-Eyed Spiders.
We also need to ask the disciples of Xiongming Peak stationed in Erosion City to check on the Spider Queen's condition. It's much more troublesome than taking care of the Spirit Field. Everyone has a task.
On Wang Yu's side, half of the people took care of the spirit field, while the other half split into three teams and entered the Ghost Eye Cave once every seven days to collect excrement and the body fluids of the Ghost Eye Spiders.
The two sides rotate every year, and it will be his turn to go into the cave next year.
It's a good time to adjust, and it's quite relaxing.
This place is equipped with a large-scale, mid-grade second-tier array that is connected to the underground spiritual veins. The remaining spiritual energy available for cultivation is limited, and most of it is consumed by two Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The spiritual environment was far inferior to that within the sect, but it was still alright. Consuming some spirit stones could make up for the lack of daily cultivation. As for Wang Yu, he was even less dependent on the environment.
Even without spiritual veins, cultivation levels still rise rapidly.
There's not much to do here, the work is easy, and there are no external dangers. It's the perfect place for him to slowly accumulate resources, turn them into strength, and occasionally refine pills to familiarize himself with the use of the Frost Flame.
Twelve Flame Spirit Seals, Flame Breathing Technique, etc.
Especially the Flood Dragon Force, he had been putting away this body-refining technique for four months, and had only recently entered the minor completion stage.
Each time the placement bar provided feedback, it was the power of blood essence, and passive cultivation allowed him to reach the third level of body refinement.
Three "dragon tendons" condensed within his body, causing his strength to surge.
This power originates from within his muscles and bones; with each exertion, one can see the bulging, monstrous veins beneath his skin, giving him formidable strength and vitality.
