Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Jade Dragon Pool

On the river’s surface, the continuous hunting of spirit fish made the water flow even faster.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng also saw two Red Section Fish leaping on the water, indicating that Ye Xingliu had set up quite a number of Red Section Fish using the array.

However, neither Ye Haiyi nor Ye Jingyu took out any magical artifacts; the former began to perform finger techniques, while the latter took out a Water Escape Talisman.

As spiritual light enveloped them, Ye Haiyi first sank toward the riverbed, followed by Ye Jingyu, and Ye Jingcheng immediately started performing finger techniques, gazing toward the depths of the river.

At this moment, he felt a bit shocked. Naturally, going underwater couldn’t possibly be just for the Red Spirit Fish. It’s highly likely that through this river, one can reach the Jade Dragon Pool. This was naturally thrilling for Ye Jingcheng.

He was somewhat unsure of Ye Haiyi’s confidence, knowing that the Lizard Lord and the Hanging Eye Tiger were healing on both sides of the riverbank.

Ye Xingliu was also giving commands.

“Into the river!” The spirit jade in Ye Jingcheng’s hand began to glow, and seeing this, Ye Jingcheng nodded.

Utilizing the Water Escape Skill, he descended to the riverbed.

Unlike the pale blue of the river’s surface, the riverbed appeared somewhat murky. As he descended, he only saw a blue turtle shell gradually enlarging, then enveloping all three of them.

The turtle shell was covered with countless spirit patterns, intricately carved. As spiritual energy was activated, the turtle shell spiritual artifact began to turn transparent, like a transparent Spirit Turtle Shell.

And their aura became faint. This turtle shell spiritual artifact’s effect was clearly similar to the array outside.

“Put on this Spirit-Blocking Robe, and remember, everyone follow my instructions. Even if we gain nothing this time, don’t move without my say-so. Also, don’t leave the turtle shell spiritual artifact!” Ye Haiyi frowned, his expression extremely serious.

Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu both nodded.

The Profound Turtle Spiritual Artifact also began to emit faint spirit patterns, which drifted downstream like the river’s current.

Along the way, Ye Jingcheng saw many Red Section Fish heading downstream, and what’s strange is that those Red Section Fish seemed unable to see the three of them and the turtle shell. Even spirit fish passed through the turtle shell spiritual artifact without noticing the trio.

This made Ye Jingcheng feel quite amazed, and he was curious about the treasure’s rank.

Besides, Ye Jingcheng suddenly felt that Ye Haiyi’s presence seemed to grow much larger, and he could no longer comprehend Ye Haiyi’s cultivation.

“On the upcoming journey, don’t use your Divine Sense. Observe carefully, listen carefully. If anything is unusual, use the Jade Talisman!” Ye Haiyi’s voice echoed again within the Jade Talisman.

At these words, both Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu felt a chill run down their spines.

And sure enough, there were faint magical combat sounds coming from both riverbanks, including what sounded like running.

Although the river was rapid, a cultivator’s senses far exceed those of ordinary people.

This, the three of them confirmed without a doubt.

This scene made Ye Jingcheng start to feel nervous. They had been progressing beneath the river for nearly a quarter of an hour, and by estimation, they’d traveled over twenty miles already.

Hearing the magical combat sounds, it’s naturally unlikely to be loose cultivators. It’s highly likely that it’s cultivators from the other three major families or even from the Taiyi Sect.

Ye Jingcheng felt a bit afraid that there might be cultivators swimming upstream from the riverbed.

At this moment, he could only look at Ye Haiyi, who remained as calm as ever, like a mountain in front of them!

Ye Jingcheng suddenly felt much more at ease.

The turtle shell spiritual artifact advanced quickly, and soon the river began to widen.

The Red Section Fish became more numerous, and some spirit snakes and spiritual pythons could also be seen.

These spirit snakes included Tier One Spirit Snakes and Tier Two Spirit Snakes, but compared to the number of Red Section Fish, they were quite scarce.

Moreover, these spirit snakes were indeed chasing the Red Section Fish, attempting to drive them upstream. However, the number of spirit snakes was much less than that of the Red Section Fish.

They chased after one batch, prompting a few to start escaping.

As they drove a few, those few started to flee.

During this, some spirit snakes grew impatient, rushed forward, and swallowed several Red Spirit Fish whole.

This sequence released countless bubbles.

Ye Haiyi also witnessed this scene, and his expression relaxed, seemingly considering it good news.

The three held their breath, carefully listening to their surroundings, knowing they were not far from the Jade Dragon Pool.

At this moment, Ye Haiyi took out a small blue spirit snake from the Spirit Beast Bag.

Ye Jingcheng recognized this snake; it’s recorded in the family’s Jade Talisman as the Blue-tailed Snake, a type of spirit snake that’s extremely timid but highly sensitive to cultivators and spirit beasts.

The Blue-tailed Snake looked forward, flicking its tongue with vertical pupils that appeared somewhat timid.

But it didn’t turn to escape.

This indicated there was no presence of a Purple Mansion Great Demon nearby.

At this time, the turtle shell spiritual artifact came to a stop, and Ye Jingcheng suddenly noticed Ye Haiyi’s left hand, with the Beast Communication Pattern continuously lighting up.

Evidently, this turtle shell spiritual artifact wasn’t a Tier One Spiritual Artifact; Ye Haiyi couldn’t utilize it unless he invoked True Essence through the Beast Communication Pattern.

This realization dawned on Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Haiyi released another Red Section Fish, but this one was bound with a Jade Belt, and on the Jade Belt was a faint spiritual light.

Ye Haiyi also took out some Snake Ape Grass Spirit Powder, directly sprinkling it onto the surface of the Red Section Fish.

Then he released it beyond the turtle shell.

The Red Section Fish transformed into a stream of light, swiftly heading downstream.

The spirit talisman was a Water Talisman, nearly doubling the speed of the Red Section Fish; the spirit snakes and spiritual pythons instantly became red-eyed, chasing towards the riverbed.

The turtle shell paused in the muddy riverbed, while Ye Jingcheng saw numerous spirit snakes and spiritual pythons flying past!

This batch wasn’t as numerous as the one Ye Jingcheng saw downstream!

However, in terms of quality, the spirit beasts were much higher, and Ye Jingcheng even saw a late-stage Tier Two Jade Qilin Snake heading downstream!

The Jade Qilin Snake’s size was even larger than before.

This further elevated Ye Jingcheng’s appreciation for the turtle shell spiritual artifact’s wonders, and he also worried whether Ye Xingliu, the Lizard Lord, and the Hanging Eye Tiger could contend with this Jade Qilin Snake downstream.

Ye Haiyi still remained motionless, releasing the Blue-tailed Snake again, directing it to look ahead!

At this moment, the Blue-tailed Snake’s gaze was fierce, showing no fear.

But it too was influenced by Snake Ape Grass, looking towards the downstream river.

As the turtle shell spiritual artifact began to move once more, Ye Jingcheng noticed Ye Haiyi’s hand on the Spirit Beast Bag, ready to draw from it if danger arose.

Ye Jingcheng grew curious about what Tier Two Spirit Beast the family would reveal this time!

The artifact continued onward!

Soon, they reached the river’s mouth.

The water ahead had turned a jade green, and the spiritual energy was incredibly abundant!

Ye Jingcheng also saw many Red Section Fish swimming together in schools!

The bait that attracted the Red Section Fish had evidently worn off.

And the Jade Dragon Pool unfolded before the three of them.
