My Beasts Grind Proficiency For Me

Chapter 524 - 38: The Grand Curtain Unfolds

The young man’s face rippled, revealing Yang Jing’s true appearance.

He had just come face to face with a terrifying Nascent Soul Old Demon, running circles around the crafty old devil as if he were a mouse toying with a cat, but his face showed no trace of pride.

He reached out and placed a hand on the young Demon Cultivator’s shoulder.

In the next instant, countless bolts of dazzling True Thunder formed a lightning net that enveloped the young Demon Cultivator. For a Demon Cultivator, whose body was suffused with Demonic Qi, the agony brought by the lightning net was far worse than death by a thousand cuts.

Yang Jing maintained the lightning net for a full thirty-six breaths. He only retracted it after the young Demon Cultivator’s body was wracked with convulsions and even his Demon Soul had been severely wounded.

He hadn’t just been hiding underground waiting for things to unfold. From time to time, he had the Demon-Catching Tripod release Celestial Demons to investigate the outside world, paying special attention to the White Bone Demon, the Tribulation Sea Old Demon’s martial brother.

As luck would have it, Yang Jing intercepted the young Demon Cultivator who had come for the Xuyu Coral: the fifth True Disciple of the Tribulation Sea Old Demon.

The man’s name was Li Jun. Blinded by greed, he had traveled thousands of miles from the Northern Continent to the Jade Poison Kingdom for the Xuyu Coral. He’d hoped to pull chestnuts from the fire with only the Power of a Golden Core Cultivator, but Yang Jing used the remains of the Powerful White Bone Demon as bait and hooked him perfectly.

As a True Disciple, Li Jun cultivated a Divine Soul Secret Technique, so a Soul Search using Celestial Demon methods was impossible. Yang Jing could only resort to interrogation to make him voluntarily divulge his identity and other details.

"You’re not being honest, Li Jun. You left out many details in your previous confession. Are you hoping your Junior Martial Uncle White Bone will save you and help you escape?"

The Demon Cultivator, Li Jun, collapsed to the ground like a boneless heap. He stared at Yang Jing in disbelief. ’I just can’t understand how he managed to deceive my cunning and cautious junior martial uncle.’

Yang Jing waved a hand, and the Ox Power Demons dragged Li Jun away to be sealed in the deepest part of the Yin Qi World. True Disciples from the Major Sects all had Soul Tokens enshrined within their Sects. If Yang Jing killed him outright, the White Bone Demon would find out before long, and it would be easy for his own identity to be exposed.

With a flicker of his Divine Thought, he appeared back on the surface and took out the Treasure Mirror he had used for the demonstration.

Of course, this Treasure Mirror wasn’t some secondary mirror to the Ten Thousand Miles Soul-Locking Mirror, but merely his own replica.

The Tribulation Sea Old Demon had once used the genuine mirror to lock onto Yang Jing’s soul from thousands of miles away. During his Magical Combat with the Moon Demon King, the old demon had also frequently drawn upon the Treasure Mirror’s power. So, Yang Jing had simply mimicked the aura of the Ten Thousand Miles Soul-Locking Mirror and forged a replica.

With his mastery of Artifact Refining, he had managed to replicate thirty to forty percent of the Ten Thousand Miles Soul-Locking Mirror’s functions—more than enough to fool those who weren’t intimately familiar with it.

Even if he were questioned, Yang Jing could just pass it off as a mere secondary mirror.

"Master!"

Yinjiao came over with a thick stack of Talisman Paper. It was high-grade Blank Talisman Paper that he had crafted himself.

Among all of Yang Jing’s disciples, Yinjiao’s skill in Talisman Making was the best. Although his Cultivation was too low to create Talisman Treasures, he could easily craft Blank Talisman Paper capable of containing the power of a Magical Treasure.

Creating a Talisman Treasure required an extremely high level of Cultivation—at least the Golden Core Realm—but the requirements for one’s skill in Talisman Making were not as strict. Golden Core Cultivators nearing the end of their lifespans could often succeed in creating Talisman Treasures after just a little study, with the only differences being the quantity and power of the final products.

Yang Jing took the Blank Talisman Paper and handed the Demon-Catching Tripod and the Five Fire Gourd to Yinjiao.

"Yinjiao, I’ll have the Wanhua Child and the Five Fire Child assist you. Take these two Magical Treasures, lie in wait, and hunt down the Tribulation Sea Old Demon’s other disciples."

Both the Wanhua Child and the Five Fire Child were outstanding among Tier Three Magical Treasures. The Wanhua Child was capable of myriad transformations, and the Five Fire Child’s Power of Attack was devastating against Demon Cultivators.

Because they had been refined in the Western Continent, its unique rules allowed them to awaken sentience at Tier Three. Even without Yang Jing’s direction, they could unleash considerable power on their own, making them nearly equivalent to a Golden Core Cultivator.

Moreover, Yinjiao had a steady temperament and was better at adapting to circumstances than Iron Head. He was also skilled in Water Escape and Cloud Escape, making him feel right at home in the maritime environment of the Jade Poison Kingdom.

With the Wanhua Child and the Five Fire Child to assist, ambushing and killing Golden Core Demon Cultivators shouldn’t be too difficult.

The Tribulation Sea Old Demon’s Direct Disciples were intimately familiar with the Ten Thousand Miles Soul-Locking Mirror, and they might ruin his plan.

Yinjiao acknowledged the command. The Five Fire Gourd and the Demon-Catching Tripod flickered into existence before him and obediently hung themselves from his belt.

"First, familiarize yourself with these two Magical Treasures. When the time is right, I’ll send you out of the Inner World."

After he finished speaking, Yang Jing left the Inner World and returned to his Quiet Chamber. Although his expertise in Talismans was not profound, the principle of "master one art, understand all arts" applied. His research into Restrictions, the Array Dao, and Artifact Refining allowed him to complete the creation of the Talisman Treasures with ease.

「Three days later.」

The Treasure Mirror, which had once faintly shimmered with Spiritual Light, had become a completely mundane object. In its place before Yang Jing lay twelve Talisman Treasures.

On the ochre-yellow surface of each talisman, an illusory image of the Treasure Mirror was sealed in the center by a ring of Restrictions. Each Talisman Treasure pulsed with a remarkable Spiritual Charm.

Slipping the Talisman Treasures into his sleeve, Yang Jing deactivated the Array and left the Quiet Chamber.

The White Bone Demon had been waiting with eager anticipation. He was overjoyed when he finally received the twelve Talisman Treasures.

"I never expected your skill in Talisman Making to be so astonishing, worthy nephew! With these Talisman Treasures, I’m certain I’ll be able to find the Xuyu Coral. When I do, I absolutely won’t forget your share," he declared, thumping his chest in assurance.

In his bid to seize the Xuyu Coral, the White Bone Demon had brought all his demonic disciples and descendants. The twelve Talisman Treasures were quickly divided among his followers, who activated them at full power, casting a great net over the Jade Poison Kingdom.

Seizing the opportunity, Yang Jing secretly released Yinjiao from the Inner World.

The Talisman Treasures weren’t locked onto his own aura at all, but onto the aura of Si Taizhen, which he had extracted from the Tiger Talisman.

Ultimately, the Demon Cultivators’ search was bound to lead them to the Jade Poison Great Saint.

Yang Jing stood on the eaves of the Demon Palace, looking down over the Jade Poison Kingdom. The strong wind billowed his brocade robes, making him seem like a divine being.

These Nascent Soul Old Demons were crafty old foxes. Even with bait as tempting as the Xuyu Coral, tricking them into fighting the Jade Poison Great Saint was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. The slightest misstep could expose his identity.

Only by letting the White Bone Demon find the evidence step by step and deduce for himself that the Xuyu Coral was in the hands of the Jade Poison Great Saint would he become thoroughly convinced. Only then would he fight the Jade Poison Great Saint to the death for the Xuyu Coral.

’I’ve done this much, so my conscience is clear. I’ve repaid my debt to you. If you can’t hold on until then and die at the hands of the Jade Poison Great Saint first, then you can only blame your own fate for this tribulation.’
