Chapter 52 Top-Grade Defensive Magic Artifact, Iron-Scaled Demon Wolf
This woman's name is Bai Miaozhu, and she is a member of the Bai family clan.
A few days ago, when they were clearing land, Chen Ye used the Spirit Annihilation Finger to block a poisonous insect that flew up to her. The insect's venom was not fatal, but once the venom in its body came into contact with a person's skin, it would cause large areas of burning, which would be extremely difficult for even a cultivator to recover from.
This saved Bai Miaozhu's beautiful appearance, so Bai Miaozhu was grateful to Chen Ye and came to talk to him whenever she had time these past two days.
"Brother Luo, I've examined your striped bees. There's nothing seriously wrong with them, but you need to be careful about how you feed them."
As Bai Miaozhu spoke, she took off the spirit insect pouch hanging from her waist and handed it to Chen Ye, then said in a gentle tone.
"Although some spirit insects and beasts can feed on spirit stones, they are, after all, demons and need to be fed flesh and blood regularly to maintain their normal condition..."
Chen Ye took the spirit insect pouch, opened it, and sure enough, the more than one hundred Devouring Pattern Bees inside were no longer as listless as they had been a few days ago.
Due to his seclusion over the past year, Chen Ye did not take good care of these spirit-devouring bees. When he had time, he would throw a dozen or so spirit stones into their sacs, and when he didn't have time, he would let them go hungry.
As a result, nearly half of the original two hundred or so Devouring Bees died, but fortunately the queen bee, who was at the late stage of the first tier, was still alive.
"Thank you very much, Miss Miaozhu," Chen Ye said sincerely.
It seems that professional matters should be handled by professionals. Chen Ye knew nothing about raising spirit insects, while Bai Miaozhu, as a descendant of the spirit-controlling family, immediately saw the problem.
"Brother Luo, there's no need to be so polite..."
Bai Miaozhu tidied the messy hair that was scattered in front of her smooth forehead, a blush flashing across her pretty face. Just as she was about to say something, an untimely voice suddenly came.
"Sister? Why are you looking for these rogue cultivators again!"
A handsome young man with an arrogant air strode over, grabbed Bai Miaozhu, and said with dissatisfaction.
"Didn't I tell you? With my talent, I'll break through to the Secret Realm sooner or later. When that happens, our Bai family will become a Secret Realm family. What kind of husband can't you find? Why waste your time on these good-for-nothing rogue cultivators?"
After saying that, he grabbed Bai Miaozhu and left without another word.
"Brother, you..."
Bai Miaozhu stumbled as she was pulled, but she couldn't break free from the young man's arm. She could only apologize to Chen Ye.
"Brother Luo, my elder brother speaks without thinking, please don't take it to heart..."
Speaking without restraint?
Chen Ye sneered inwardly.
They're just brainless!
In the past few days, Chen Ye has gained some understanding of the Bai family, an outsider family. There are only about thirty members left in the family. Perhaps because they are not yet firmly established, most of the Bai family members are quite polite to these rogue cultivators.
This includes the clan leader Bai Changnian, whose cultivation has reached the ninth level of the Spirit Gathering stage.
Only Bai Yunheng, confident in his superior spiritual root cultivation aptitude, was arrogant and looked down on rogue cultivators.
In Chen Ye's view, this person was a typical example of someone who was ambitious but lacked talent.
The level of one's spiritual root can indeed influence the speed of cultivation to some extent, but it is not the whole story. What is more important is one's temperament.
Bai Yunheng was a few years older than Chen Ye, but his cultivation level had only just broken through to the late stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm, which showed that he had not devoted himself to cultivation in his daily life.
If someone like Bai Jiali becomes the next clan leader, the clan will likely face the tragic fate of extinction.
Of course, the future of the Bai family has nothing to do with Chen Ye. He only wants to get what he wants from the Bai family and then leave this place at ease.
As evening approached, a large number of mortals responsible for clearing the land suddenly suffered casualties. When Chen Ye arrived, he saw a huge demon wolf howling as it pounced into the crowd, tearing apart the defenseless mortals.
This demonic wolf was covered in a layer of fine blue scales, and was larger than an ordinary tiger. It exuded a murderous aura and was a common late-stage first-tier demonic beast, the Iron-Scaled Demonic Wolf.
Just as Chen Ye was about to deal with the demon, a figure darted out even faster than him.
It was none other than Meng Zhaoxing, who had been dismissed by Chen Ye with a few words that afternoon.
Although this person talked incessantly, he still had a trace of pity for ordinary mortals, unlike other cultivators who immediately kept their distance after discovering this late-stage first-tier demonic beast.
Meng Zhaoxing charged forward with his longsword and quickly engaged in battle with the rampaging demon wolves in the crowd.
The Iron-Scaled Demon Wolf is equivalent to a human cultivator in the late stage of the Spirit Condensation Realm. It possesses abundant demonic power, especially its scales, which are as hard as a mid-grade magic weapon.
Although Meng Zhaoxing's cultivation level was the same as Chen Ye's, at the sixth level of the Spirit Gathering stage, his swordsmanship was quite impressive.
The sword light flashed nimbly, leaving streaks of blood on the Ironscale Wolf Demon in no time.
However, at that moment, a ray of moonlight suddenly shone through the dark clouds, and a faint silver light suddenly appeared on the Iron-Scaled Demon Wolf's body.
With the blessing of the moonlight, the Iron-Scaled Demon Wolf seemed to have become stronger. It raised its head and suddenly spat out a Qi Blade. Caught off guard, Meng Zhaoxing was hit in the chest by this Qi Blade!
clang!
A sound like metal clashing rang out, and a flash of light appeared on Meng Zhaoxing's chest. Although it lasted only a moment, it was clearly captured by Chen Ye, who was extremely sensitive to fluctuations in spiritual energy.
"A top-grade defensive magic weapon?!"
Chen Ye raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected that Meng Zhaoxing, who was not particularly outstanding in appearance and whose strength was not much higher than that of other cultivators of the same level, would actually be wearing a top-grade defensive magic artifact!
A typical top-grade magic weapon is worth around 1,300 spirit stones, while defensive magic weapons are even more expensive, costing at least 1,500 spirit stones, which are far beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.
"Could this kid be a member or disciple of some Brown Pill faction who's out here for training?" Chen Ye couldn't help but wonder.
Although Meng Zhaoxing managed to block the Iron-Scaled Demon Wolf's fatal blow with his top-grade magic weapon, the enormous impact still sent him flying several meters away, causing him to fall to the ground in a sorry state.
The Iron-Scaled Demon Wolf was already enraged by the human cultivator who had stopped it from hunting. Its demonic aura surged, and with a stomp of its sharp claws on the ground, its blood-red maw lunged straight at Meng Zhaoxing to tear him apart!
"Brother Meng, don't be afraid, I'm here to help you!"
Just then, a loud shout rang out, followed by a sharp burst of energy that tore through the void and struck the demon wolf's scarlet eye with perfect accuracy!
Pfft!
"Aww~~"
The Ironscale Demon Wolf howled in agony, and a large cloud of blood mist burst from the eye that had been hit, leaving half of its wolf face a bloody mess!
However, the ferocity of the demonic wolf was amplified by the intense pain, and its remaining eye glared venomously at Chen Ye.
It was this human that caused it unbearable suffering!
"Woohoo~"
The Iron-Scaled Wolf moved with lightning speed, its gaze fierce as it pounced on Chen Ye.
But a demon beast is a demon beast; no matter how intelligent it is, it can't defeat a human cultivator.
Unbeknownst to the Iron-Scaled Demon Wolf, a sharp, short spear, entirely blue-green with spiral patterns, had unknowingly circled behind it under Chen Ye's divine control!
