Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Red Thousand Rat

Inside the room, Ye Jingcheng was still diligently and enthusiastically practicing cultivation.

It wasn’t until he could no longer sense a significant rise in spiritual energy and his mind felt muddled that Ye Jingcheng finally stopped.

He knew this was the period of burnout in cultivation.

So he dispersed the Li Fire Skill, feeling the thick spiritual power within him, slowly calming down.

Just like his state of mind, it also needed to slowly calm down.

Currently, he had only broken through to the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, which was not a Foundation Establishment breakthrough, nor did it extend life.

As the joy of cultivating faded, he discovered that if he used the spiritual power of the Red Flame Fox, the fireball he cast had greater power, and the finger formulas were much faster.

Clearly, the spiritual power of the Red Flame Fox casting a fireball was almost instinctual.

This discovery delighted him even more.

This way, in magical combat, he could be more startlingly effective; with diligent practice, at a critical moment, he might produce a fireball similar to the Red Flame Fox’s. With the Red Flame Fox producing four, that would be five fireballs, possibly not weaker than some powerful magical artifacts.

As for merging with the Red Flame Fox to form a half-beastman state, Ye Jingcheng was currently unable to achieve it.

But it was enough to make him happy and full of anticipation.

Of course, he didn’t forget what the Patriarch told him, these techniques shouldn’t be casually displayed in front of other cultivators, unless it’s a kill-or-die scenario!

Such as when the loose cultivators fought over the Blood Heart Pill, the cultivators of the Ye Family didn’t use beastification, nor did they borrow the power of spirit beasts.

This was also out of concern that other families were secretly watching, otherwise, on that day, even three Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn’t live to tell the tale.

Also, Ye Jingcheng still had a thought in mind, didn’t Ye Xingliu, as the Patriarch, have a second uninjured Foundation Establishment spirit beast?

Judging from the caution he saw in the Ye Family, always hiding their strengths, it might actually be uncertain.

Ye Jingcheng suppressed the thought and continued to study, as the surprises brought by Beast Communication Pattern were numerous.

The more he studied, the more he felt the depth of the Beast Communication Pattern.

And at this moment, he hesitated whether the Ye Family was a Foundation Establishment Clan or a Purple Mansion Clan.

Once his mood completely calmed down, outside, it was already daylight, and the spring rain that had fallen throughout the night had also stopped.

The air was exceptionally fresh, filled with raindrops.

Through the window, you could see the emerald green bamboo leaves, swaying with dew drops, even more lush and verdant, in the depths of the bamboo forest, tender shoots were sprouting everywhere.

And a Sound Transmission Talisman floated into the room.

It contained Ye Xinghe’s gathering command.

Ye Jingcheng tidied up briefly and once again left the room.

When he arrived at the inner courtyard, he noticed that Xu Xiuqing had also changed into a training robe, while Ye Xingyu and Ye Xinghe had already switched to another set of black robes.

These black robes were the same as last time, used for disguise, but the appearance was much different from last time, even if the loose cultivators from last time saw them, they wouldn’t recognize them as the attire of the Ye Family.

“Put it on!” Ye Xinghe handed Ye Jingcheng and Xu Xiuqing each a set of clothing.

Letting them wear the black robes, only revealing their eyes.

Ye Jingcheng didn’t hesitate and put it on directly.

Different from the previous set which could invigorate and refresh, this set seemed ordinary, also reflecting the importance the Ye Family placed on the two actions.

On the contrary, Xu Xiuqing hesitated for a moment before gritting her teeth and putting it on.

After all, once she wore the black robe, even if she were to die, no one would necessarily know it was her.

Once the three were dressed, Ye Xinghe also immediately led the three down a secret passage.

And what amazed Ye Jingcheng was that this time it was another secret path.

Leading to another loose cultivator’s shop.

After exiting the bamboo forest of the market, Ye Xinghe also took out a spiritual ship, and the four flew towards a hill.

“Elder Ye, is there anything the junior can help with?” Xu Xiuqing hesitated for a long time before asking.

However, her words clearly had a particular hint.

Ye Xinghe glanced back to confirm Xu Xiuqing’s expression before replying:

“Wait for the Ye Family’s spirit beasts to converge, otherwise, trying to find the evil cultivators’ hiding spot is impossible!” Ye Xinghe replied simply.

He continued driving the spiritual ship seriously, Ye Jingcheng didn’t interrupt but followed Ye Xingyu, observing the surroundings from one side of the spiritual ship.

He always remembered clearly to speak less, do more, and observe more.

After Xu Xiuqing asked, she also didn’t speak again, maintaining a three-foot distance from the other three members of the Ye Family, holding a long sword artifact in her hand.

The spiritual ship finally landed on a desolate peak, and above the peak, there was also a cave where Ye Jingcheng recognized familiar signal marks.

The four didn’t wait long before a spiritual ship appeared in the distance, wearing attire identical to Ye Jingcheng and the other three.

Among them were two figures Ye Jingcheng was very familiar with; even without seeing their faces, he could recognize them from their build as his long-unseen second brother, Ye Jingyong, and fourth brother, Ye Jingyu.

So this time, the one who came again was the Patriarch Ye Xingliu, though it’s unclear if the Lizard Lord appeared this time.

Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but recall the mysterious figure of the chameleon, sure to add much success to this endeavor with its enigmatic means.

Once the four landed, one of the black-robed figures took out a red-nosed spirit rat.

This spirit rat was called the Red Thousand Rat, famous for its large red nose and its ability to track from miles away.

With this spirit beast, Ye Jingcheng instantly knew the identity of the person in front of him, Ye Haiyi of the Sea Generation, the Third Elder of the Demon Hunting Hall.

Once the Red Thousand Rat appeared, on the other side, Ye Xinghe took out a gray-robed corpse, which was the middle-stage Qi Cultivation cultivator previously killed by Ye Jingcheng.

The Red Thousand Rat squeaked twice, then bit into the gray-robed cultivator’s neck.

Its eyes turned twice before it softly growled in a certain direction.

Ye Xingliu also took out an even larger spiritual ship.

This spiritual ship was obviously a Tier Three spiritual artifact; when fully activated, it could accommodate more than a dozen rooms, almost like a sky hotel.

However, even with such a large size, the spiritual ship’s speed was even faster, with two giant wind sails, each engraved with wind attribute spirit patterns, which turned into a streak of light and flashed away.

And at that moment, Ye Jingcheng noticed a light in Xu Xiuqing’s eyes.

If the Ye Family wanted to harm her and forcefully find out the location of the spiritual ore, they wouldn’t need to do so.

Only such a large mobilization could represent the Ye Family’s genuine intention to eliminate the evil cultivator.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak!” As the spiritual ship reached a mountain gorge, they inadvertently began entering the Taihang Mountain Range.

And in the next moment, the Red Thousand Rat dove down, disappearing from the spiritual ship, followed by the Red Crowned Snow Eagle, which also transformed into a streak of light and vanished.

“Prepare!” Ye Haiyi’s voice sounded, and all eight of them promptly retrieved their artifacts!
