My Home's Ancient Well Connects to the Martial Arts World

Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Purple Demon Beast Egg

Zhu Dazhuang’s eyes went wide as he stared blankly at Ye Xing’s feet.

There, squatting by Ye Xing’s feet, was a small black dog. Its fur was glossy black, and it looked quite adorable as it wagged its tail back and forth. The little black dog was tiny, not even reaching halfway to the bend of Ye Xing’s knee, which was why Zhu Dazhuang hadn’t noticed it at all.

”Bro... Brother Xing, this... this helper you mentioned, Erhei... is it this little black dog?” Zhu Dazhuang asked, stammering, an utterly dumbfounded look on his face.

”Yeah, that’s right. What, were you expecting some muscle-bound dude?” Ye Xing laughed. ”Don’t worry, Erhei is no less useful than a meathead. When the time comes, one bite from him and that thief won’t be going anywhere.”

”No way, Brother Xing, stop messing with me.” Zhu Dazhuang said with a wry smile. ”Even if you were going to use a dog, you should have brought a big hound or something. What good is this little guy going to do...”

”WOOF!” ”WOOF WOOF WOOF!”

Little Erhei suddenly started barking ferociously at Zhu Dazhuang, its tiny body abruptly releasing an astonishing aura.

Zhu Dazhuang’s heart trembled. He felt as if he were facing a primeval beast and instinctively stumbled back several steps. He stared in horror at the little black dog at Ye Xing’s feet, his eyes filled with both shock and bewilderment.

”Haha, see? Erhei’s not happy with you. You dared to look down on him! Little Erhei is angry now, better watch out or he might bite you,” Ye Xing laughed.

Zhu Dazhuang looked on in fear, staring blankly at the little black dog by Ye Xing’s feet. He stammered, ”Brother Xing, I... I think I’m actually a little scared of this puppy. Oh god, when did I become such a coward? I... I’m actually scared of a little puppy, I...” Zhu Dazhuang couldn’t help but start questioning his outlook on life.

”Haha, it’s normal to be afraid of little Erhei. When little Erhei gets angry, even lions and tigers have to give him a wide berth, let alone a person,” Ye Xing chuckled. ”Alright, let’s just leave Erhei here. At the very least, he can bark a few times to warn you.”

’Little Erhei is a Level 1 Demon Beast. In terms of combat prowess, even the fiercest of wild animals would likely be no match for him. If that thief dares to come back for the feed, he won’t be getting away.’

It was already noon by the time he left Zhu Dazhuang’s house.

He needed to subdue the two Guardians from the Great River Gang today, so time was tight. Ye Xing didn’t dare stay on Earth for too long. He immediately went into the old well at his ancestral home and took the Purple Light Group out of his Qiankun Bag.

The Purple Light Group reappeared in the old well, and the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi from the surroundings gathered toward it. Ye Xing stepped into the Purple Light Group. The scene before his eyes changed, and he passed through the Purple Light Group Teleportation Gate to a cave on White Cloud Mountain in the Martial Arts Continent.

He opened his Qiankun Bag again and stored the Purple Light Group Teleportation Gate inside. As the Purple Light Group was put away, the light inside the cave suddenly dimmed. Ye Xing immediately took his phone out of his pocket, swiped the screen, and turned on the flashlight function.

A beam of white light immediately shot out from his phone’s camera, lighting up the cave once more. With the phone’s flashlight in his right hand, Ye Xing walked along the mountain path toward the exit.

Now that he had the Qiankun Bag, Ye Xing would immediately store the Purple Light Group Teleportation Gate as soon as he was done using it. Once stored in the Qiankun Bag, the Purple Light Group would disappear from both the cave on White Cloud Mountain and the old well at his ancestral home on Earth. This meant that even if the well on Earth was discovered, it wouldn’t matter. Otherwise, if he left the Purple Light Group in the well, anyone who found it could use it to travel to the Martial Arts Continent. That was why Ye Xing always put the Purple Light Group Teleportation Gate away in his Qiankun Bag immediately after use.

The cave passage wasn’t long, and after a short while, Ye Xing reached the entrance.

He immediately moved the bookshelf in front of him and entered the Training Room.

The Training Room was equipped with a monitor. There were cameras covering the main corridors of the Ye Mansion and even the foot of White Cloud Mountain. In other words, as long as he stayed in the Training Room, he could basically keep an eye on everything. If anyone came to White Cloud Mountain, Ye Xing would know immediately by watching the security footage.

It was now a little after one in the afternoon, still two or three hours before the appointed time.

’Hong Hai and Xue Yong aren’t here yet. Instead of just waiting around, I might as well use this time to organize my Qiankun Bags.’ Ye Xing’s eyes glinted, and he immediately untied the three Qiankun Bags from his waist.

Of these three Qiankun Bags, one was his own, one was stolen from Zhao Tianxuan, and the last belonged to Miao Wuxie of the Five Poison Sect. The contents of the bags were a mess. Since obtaining them, Ye Xing had only given them a cursory glance and hadn’t had time for a detailed look or to organize them.

Now that he finally had some free time, he decided to organize them right here in the Training Room. He dumped out the items from the Qiankun Bags one by one and began to sort them into categories.

’Since I have three Qiankun Bags, I’ll use the first one exclusively for merchandise. The second can hold poisons, venomous things, and Poisonous Insects. As for the third, that will naturally be for treasures, Secret Manuals, Elixirs, and the Purple Light Group.’

He spent over an hour organizing everything until it was all sorted. Ye Xing checked the security monitor and saw that no one had arrived yet. Under these circumstances, it wasn’t a good time to close his eyes and start his Cultivation.

’Huh? Oh, right, don’t I have a Demon Beast Egg in one of my Qiankun Bags? Since I have time now, I might as well just hatch it.’ With that thought, Ye Xing immediately opened the Qiankun Cloth Bag and took out the Demon Beast Egg.

The Demon Beast Egg was entirely purple and about the size of his palm. Its shell was covered in ancient-looking patterns that shimmered with a flowing light.

’It looks like a pretty high-level one. I hope it’s a Flying Demon Beast Egg!’ A hint of anticipation appeared in Ye Xing’s eyes as he dripped a drop of his blood onto the Demon Beast Egg.

Flying Demon Beasts were extremely precious because they were very difficult to capture, and their price was generally much higher than that of terrestrial beasts. Many Martial Artists dreamed of owning a Flying Demon Beast they could ride to soar through the sky, whistling over thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. Ye Xing had also been planning to buy a High Tier Flying Demon Beast after a while, but if this egg turned out to be one, he could save a considerable amount of money.

The moment the blood landed on the Demon Beast Egg, it was instantly absorbed.

Then, holding the purple Demon Beast Egg in his right hand, Ye Xing began circulating his Innate Skill to hatch it. While incubating the egg, he occasionally glanced at the security monitor.

Hatching a Demon Beast Egg wasn’t particularly difficult, but it did consume a lot of True Qi. This was because the beast inside needed the stimulation of energy, such as demonic qi or True Qi, to awaken and quickly break out of its shell.

A typical Demon Beast Egg would hatch in about half an hour. For those with a higher-grade bloodline, it might take an hour at most.

Ye Xing circulated his Innate Skill, continuously pouring True Qi into the purple Demon Beast Egg, which absorbed it all.

Soon, half an hour had passed, but there was still no movement from the purple Demon Beast Egg.

’It’s already been half an hour, and it’s still absorbing my True Qi. It looks like this purple Demon Beast Egg is a very high level!’ Ye Xing rejoiced inwardly. He quickly swallowed a Great Returning Pill to replenish the True Qi in his body, then continued pouring more into the purple Demon Beast Egg.
