Chapter 93: Spider Mountain (Seeking Subscription, Seeking Votes)

Chapter 93: Spider Mountain (Seeking Subscription, Seeking Votes)

Based on the previous speed, Wang Yu estimated that it would take two months on the road.

But the reality was different. Despite having a larger size, its speed was much faster than Gu Zhengshun's bone boat. Having such a means of transportation was much better than that damn Black Silk Magic Tool.

He wanted one too.

In less than a month, Spider Mountain in Night Jade Province was already faintly visible in the distance.

They arrived smoothly, which finally allowed the constantly anxious Wang to breathe a sigh of relief. Calculating the time, Wei Chong should also have emerged from seclusion. Who knew what was happening within the sect.

Fortunately, he ran fast.

During this month of travel, Wang Yu was either cultivating or with Situ Hong, learning more about Spider Mountain's situation.

Ghost Eye Spiders were a Yin Attribute Monster Beast with Second Stage potential. Adult forms could reach Late First Stage, and Spider Queens were almost all Second Stage.

Those Ghost Eye Caves each had a Spider Queen residing within.

As for the Spider Heart Grass Field, it required the excrement and bodily fluids of Ghost Eye Spiders to stimulate its growth. When they went to guard it, they also needed to enter the Ghost Eye Caves to collect excrement.

This task was not only arduous but also dangerous.

The demand for bodily fluids mainly relied on hunting. Usually, they would act together with Five Yin Peak disciples. The others would take the eyeballs, and they would extract the bodily fluids.

Don't think that Spider Mountain was a place for raising them in captivity. Monster Beasts were not pigs. They possessed intelligence and free will. Except for the Spider Queen, which was controlled by the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect's Fierce Darkness Peak's Secret Method.

The large number of Ghost Eye Spider offspring it produced were in a semi-wild state, extremely fierce, and their aggressiveness was no less than wild Monster Beasts.

Otherwise, there would be no need for so many people to come to Spider Mountain.

They had to leave some room to replenish the numbers, so as not to delay production.

Wang Yu would undoubtedly team up with Situ Hong. It would be good to cultivate some tacit understanding early, communicate more, and deepen the foundation of trust.

"Brother Wang, the Ghost Eye of the Ghost Eye Spider is a good thing. Not only is it useful to me, but it's also a treasure for your Cold Blood Art cultivation."

At this time, the two of them were standing in a corner of the Deck, looking into the distance at their destination which was about to be reached, chatting in low voices. Like them, there were cultivators everywhere on the Deck.

Wang Yu immediately became interested upon hearing this.

"Oh? How so?"

Situ Hong spread out his palm. Equally Yin and Cold Spirit Energy stirred up a small whirlwind, and within it, there was a faint roar of evil ghosts. It was precisely his refined Natal Ghost Spirit, the Cold Wind Ghost.

In the time since they last met, Situ Hong had almost reached the peak of Qi Condensation Eighth Layer, not far from Qi Condensation Ninth Layer. His Spirit Energy was even more condensed into a semi-liquid state.

His strength was not weak.

Compared to Monster Beasts of the same level, human cultivators, apart from their physique being inferior to Monster Beasts, had overwhelming advantages in other aspects. As long as they had a bit of combat intelligence, in the same Realm, they were almost certain to win.

Of course, the human cultivators mentioned here specifically referred to disciples of Nascent Soul Sects, Independent Cultivators were not included.

Among Monster Beasts, there were also those with powerful Bloodlines, which were also not included in the conventional comparison.

The Cultivation Method Situ Hong cultivated was called Heavenly Yin Art, and it shared the same attributes as Wang Yu's, but it focused more on the Yin Attribute, with the Cold Attribute being secondary.

Wang Yu, on the other hand, focused on the Cold Attribute, with the Yin Attribute being secondary.

"The Ghost Eye of the Ghost Eye Spider, apart from alchemy and weapon crafting, is itself a top-grade Treasure Medicine for cultivators of the Yin and Cold attributes like us. After taking it, it can not only brighten the eyes but also assist in refining Yin and Cold Spiritual Qi."

"When paired with a Spirit Gathering Formation, the Medicinal Effect is roughly equivalent to a Mid First Stage Cultivation Spirit Pill, and it can be taken together with Cultivation Pills, with a limit of about ten pills."

"Similarly, the stronger the spider that produces the Ghost Eye, the stronger its effect. If it's produced by a Second Stage Spider Queen, it can be of great help even to Foundation Establishment Cultivators."

After listening to Situ Hong's explanation, Wang Yu's eyes lit up. He was worried that his own cultivation speed had reached its limit and he lacked other methods to accelerate his cultivation. He didn't expect to find another one.

However.

"Brother Situ, will Spirit Root Aptitude affect the effect of this thing?"

"Uh… this…" Situ Hong was stunned.

"I heard that the effect of the Ghost Eye is relatively gentle, let's try it out specifically and see."

"That's right."

The two chatted for a short while, and the giant Spirit Boat was descending. The full view of Spider Mountain also completely came into view.

This mountain was not high, only about seventeen or eighteen hundred meters.

There were a full twenty-one Ghost Eye Caves distributed on it. The mountain rocks were pitch black in color, without soil or vegetation. Everywhere were gray clumps formed by solidified spiderwebs.

The terrain was somewhat similar to Mysterious Bone Mountain. At the foot of the mountain were large patches of Spirit Fields, and in the middle was a Farmstead-like complex of buildings.

Scattered around the edge of the Spirit Fields were also some Stone Houses.

The soil in the fields emitted a faint stench, and its color was brownish-green. There were also a large number of spider silks intertwined, like insulation blankets made of rice straw.

Stalk by stalk of Spider Heart Grass were neatly arranged. Their color was blackish-red, and their branches and leaves resembled spider legs. At the top grew a red, fleshy tumor-like Grass Fruit, which was the origin of the name Spider Heart.

The giant Spirit Boat stopped at the edge of the Spirit Field. After more than eight hundred people disembarked one after another, the Veiled Woman then put it away.

Wang Yu and Situ Hong stood at the back. After the Foundation Establishment Cultivator stationed here completed the handover, there were only about three hundred people left, who transferred to another Spirit Boat and left.

In this way, Spider Mountain was completely taken over by their group of people.

Continuing forward for a kilometer, they arrived in the middle of the Spirit Field. The Five Yin Peak and Frigid Blood Peak disciples then separated, and tasks were assigned to each person.

Wang Yu had experience taking care of Spirit Fields, so he didn't need to enter the Spider Caves for the time being. He was assigned two acres of land to take care of the Spider Heart Grass inside.

The residence was in the Stone House next to it, and he was also given a booklet, which contained points of attention.

The Five Yin Peak side was more troublesome. They needed to go to the nearest city, Heart-Eating City, to fetch food for feeding the Ghost Eye Spiders from there.

They also had to ask the Fierce Darkness Peak disciples stationed in Heart-Eating City to come and check the state of the Spider Queens. It was much more troublesome than taking care of the Spirit Field, and everyone had tasks.

On Wang Yu's side, half of the people took care of the Spirit Field, and the other half were divided into three teams, entering the Ghost Eye Caves once every seven days to collect excrement and Ghost Eye Spider bodily fluids.

The two sides rotated once a year. Next year, it would be his turn to be in the team entering the caves.

This was just right for him to adjust, and it was quite easy.

This place was equipped with a large Mid Second Stage Formation, connected to the underground Spirit Vein. Not much Spiritual Qi was left for cultivation, and most of it was also occupied by the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

The Spiritual Qi environment was far inferior to that within the sect, but it was still okay. Consuming some Spirit Stones could also compensate for daily cultivation. Wang Yu was even less concerned. His reliance on the environment was almost non-existent.

Without Spirit Veins, his cultivation still increased rapidly.

There wasn't much to do here, the work was easy, and there was no external danger. It was most suitable for him to slowly accumulate, convert resources into strength, occasionally practice alchemy, and familiarize himself with the use of Cold Flames.

Twelve Flame Spirit Seal, Flame Breath Technique… etc.

Especially Flood Dragon Strength, he had also put aside this Body Refinement Cultivation Method for four months. He had just stepped into the Minor Success Realm not long ago.

The Blood Essence Power obtained from the placement slot each time, through passive cultivation, allowed him to step into the Body Refinement Third Layer Realm.

Three "Dragon Tendons" had condensed in his body, and his Strength surged.

This kind of power originated from his muscles and bones. Every exertion of force would reveal bulging blue veins under his skin, ferocious and thick, bringing him powerful Strength and Qi and Blood.
