C15 Stellar Crystal

"Phew …"

Jing Yunxiao suddenly sat up on the bed, his entire body drenched in sweat.

"Brother Xiao, you finally did it. This time you were unconscious for one day and one night, during which you seemed painful and kept sweating profusely. It really scared us all."

Looking over, Jing Zhu was right beside Jing Yunxiao. His hands and feet were wrapped in bandages, but judging from his complexion, he should have recovered a lot.

"One day and one night?"

Jing Yunxiao was slightly stunned, then he discovered that he was not in the Jing Family at the moment, but in a somewhat dark mountain cave. Other than him and Jing Zhu, there were a few other young disciples of the Jing Family in the mountain cave. He felt quite confused.

Jing Zhu seemed to see through Jing Yunxiao's confusion and immediately explained, "Brother Xiao, Grandfather had Uncle Jing Feng escort all the young disciples of the clan out secretly. This is the Myriad Demon Ridge located deep in the mountains behind Red Leaf Town. Also, there are ten Grade Three Vitality-recovering Pill in this white jade bottle. Grandpa told me to give them to you to help you recover."

After he finished speaking, Jing Zhu handed over a white jade bottle to Jing Yunxiao.

Having heard Jing Zhu’s words, Jing Yunxiao took over the white jade bottle. He quickly realized that Jing Yufeng must have been worried that the people from the Black Dragon Stronghold would come for revenge, so he made such preparations. Even if the Jing Family could not resist the attack and was slaughtered by the Black Dragon Stronghold, they could at least keep some descendants of the Jing Family alive.

"This kind of trash would be better off dead. Even if he is kept alive, he will only get the Jing Family into trouble. If it wasn't for him this time, how could our Jing Family have fallen to such a position?"

At this moment, an untimely voice suddenly sounded in the cave, its tone filled with scorn and contempt.

Following that, a tanned and muscular youth appeared in Jing Yunxiao's sight. From his memories, Jing Yunxiao knew that this youth was called Jing Mu, and was the strongest amongst the young generation of Jing Family. He had been a highly valued youth to be trained, and had become an Eighth Level Martial Cultivator of Arterial Circulation Stage.

He had always disliked Jing Yunxiao in the Jing Family, so there was nothing strange about him speaking ill of Jing Yunxiao now.

"Jing Mu, if it were not for Brother Xiao this time, you would have already been dead under the Luo Family's blade. Yet not only did you refuse to thank Brother Xiao, but also dared to speak like this?"

Previously, when he struggled on the edge of life and death, Jing Zhu's courage clearly increased a little. Now that he heard Jing Mu's rude remarks, he immediately retorted.

"Ooh, the coward in our Jing Family who normally don't even dare to say a word actually dares to teach someone a lesson now. It's really rare."

Jing Mu laughed sinisterly.

"You want me to thank this trash? Pfft. Jing Zhu, don’t you really believe that this trash at the Fifth Level of Arterial Circulation Stage could kill an expert of the Qi Martial Stage and subdue a Spiritual Array Master? Stop joking! What the family head said before was just to prevent someone from blaming this trash for the disaster on the Jing Family this time."

After he finished speaking, the rest of the disciples behind Jing Mu also echoed coldly.

"That's right, with his insignificant skills, anyone on the street would be better than him."

"Hmph, and he is still trying to be the hero. He is obviously the scourge of our Jing Family."

They had never personally witnessed Jing Yunxiao display his skills, whether it be killing Luo Ou and crippling Luo Ao in the Jing Family, or killing Luo Ji in the Luo Family and defeating that Spiritual Array Master.

All these deeds were nothing more than stories told by Jing Yufeng and Jing Yan.

In the rest of the people’s eyes, Jing Yunxiao was just a Fifth Level Martial Cultivator of Arterial Circulation Stage, whose cultivation was not even comparable to theirs. How could he have defeated a Martial Cultivator of Qi Martial Stage and a Spiritual Array Master?

This was simply a pipe dream.

It was also because of this that they believed Jing Yufeng and Jing Yan were purposely telling lies to protect Jing Yunxiao. After all, if they were to look into why this disaster came, Jing Yunxiao heavily injuring Luo Ao was undoubtedly the start of the matter.

"Zhuzi, don't worry about them. They can do no more than talking nonsense."

Jing Zhu originally wanted to retort, but was stopped by Jing Yunxiao. Now that the Jing Family was facing a huge threat, Jing Yunxiao could not be bothered to respond to Jing Mu and the others.

If the Black Dragon Stronghold really attacked, nobody in the current Jing Family could resist it, and Jing Mu and the others would be especially useless.

If it was in a bustling place like the Imperial City, Jing Yunxiao would still be able to collect some precious medical materials and use his alchemy technique, learned from the Great Pill Tao Master Ji Wuming, to heal Jing Yufeng’s bruise and Jing Yan’s injuries on the feet. If Jing Yufeng could return to the Spiritual Martial Stage, even ten Black Dragon Strongholds would not be enough to contend against him.

But unfortunately, the Red Leaf Town was in a remote area, and it was difficult to collect those precious medical materials in a short period of time.

"I can only rely on him."

The figure of an old friend suddenly appeared in Jing Yunxiao's mind.

The Beast Taming Emperor, Qin Wanfei.

Back then, Qin Wanfei had been surrounded and attacked by hundreds and thousands of Martial Tao experts. However, at the most critical moment, with a wave of his arm, hundreds of demonic beasts rushed over from all over the place to cheer him on and serve him.

That battle was enough to shake Heaven and Earth.

Countless Martial Tao experts were torn into pieces by the endless waves of demonic beasts. Blood dyed the sky, and Qin Wanfei was like a king among all beasts. He was protected by hundreds of thousands of beasts, worshipped by tens of thousands.

From then on, he got the name of Beast Taming Emperor.

But now, Jing Yunxiao had merged with his memories, stolen his beast-taming technique. He knew very well that back then, Qin Wanfei had used a set of the Beast Taming Spell to subdue and make all the beasts serve him.

If he could imitate what Qin Wanfei had done in the past, perhaps the results would be different.

However, Jing Yunxiao's current Martial Tao strength was only at the Fifth Level of Arterial Circulation Stage. Even if he could use all sorts of stunning methods used by the predecessors, he would only be able to kill a First Level Martial Cultivator of Qi Martial Stage, and tame at most the First Rank Demonic Beasts whose strength was like a First Level Martial Cultivator of Qi Martial Stage.

First Rank Demonic Beasts were completely useless against people from the Black Dragon Stronghold.

Therefore, it was necessary to first increase his own cultivation before taming the beasts.

Seeing Jing Yunxiao walk to a corner of the cave, ready to cultivate, the mocking sounds of Jing Mu and the others sounded again, "Tsk tsk, our trash Xiao actually wants to cultivate now. But what use does it have? Trash will forever be trash."

However, Jing Yunxiao didn't even spare them a glance as he sat cross-legged, held his breath and closed his eyes.

"There is indeed something strange about my body. Moreover, why did I faint for no reason before?"

Jing Yunxiao remembered that when he had fainted earlier, he felt an unprecedented pain in his Dantian. It was this kind of pain that caused his brain to go blank for a moment and suddenly collapse.

"Dantian?"

Jing Yunxiao muttered, and immediately released his Spiritual Sense to examine his own Dantian.

However, as he examined his Dantian, he was completely shocked.

Because at this moment, a sparkling and transparent crystal stone was floating in Jing Yunxiao's Dantian.

Jing Yunxiao was very familiar with this piece of crystal stone. Wasn't it the mysterious Stellar Crystal Stone he had found in the Ruins of Dragon God in his previous life?

"Why would this Stellar Crystal Stone appear in the Dantian of my current body? Could it be that the reason I was able to be reborn in this body is related to this Stellar Crystal Stone? Could it be that the reason why this body's cultivation has been stagnant all this time is because of this Stellar Crystal Stone as well? "

Jing Yunxiao's heart trembled.

In his previous life, he had stumbled upon this Stellar Crystal Stone when he was alone in the mysterious Ruins of Dragon God. However, no matter what methods he had used in his previous life, he was unable to discover its secret, so he kept it by his side. He did not expect that he could see it again this life

What made Jing Yunxiao even more confused was that a wave of power continuously surged out from within the Stellar Crystal Stone. It was precisely this power that gave Jing Yunxiao a very sharp pain in his body, a type of burning sensation. Even when Jing Yunxiao was unconscious, the pain did not disappear, and instead made him appear painful and keep sweating.

As for the reason why Jing Yunxiao was able to be conscious now, it was completely because his own body had finally adapted to this burning power.

"I wonder what's so special about this Stellar Crystal Stone?"

Jing Yunxiao frowned as he sent his Spiritual Sense into the crystal stone. In the past, no matter how he tried, there was no change on the Stellar Crystal Stone, but this time, when his Spiritual Sense reached the crystal stone, a strong suction force emitted out, forming a huge vortex, the vortex became larger and larger, completely enveloping his body.

Jing Yunxiao only felt a burst of dizziness, and when he regained his senses, he had already arrived in a completely different space.
