Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Treasure Pavilion Third Layer

Outside the house, it was as dark as ink, with only the howling of wolves piercingly loud.

At this moment, inside the house, it was as bright as fire.

Ye Jingcheng’s whole body was radiating a glow of red and yellow.

Several spirit beasts were curiously looking over.

As the Beast Communication Pattern operated, Ye Jingcheng discovered that the earth attribute spiritual energy flowing from the Golden Scale Beast not only nourished his meridians but also spread over the surface of his skin, forming a circle of bright earth-yellow Spiritual Marsh.

He hadn’t noticed this scene at first, but after breaking through, he found that this earth-yellow Spiritual Marsh was like a suit of armor.

Evidently, this was the origin of the Golden Scale Beast’s scale armor.

This scene naturally delighted Ye Jingcheng greatly, so he tried to operate the fire attribute spiritual energy, which led to the room being filled with red and yellow spiritual light.

However, it seemed the Red Flame Fox’s spiritual power was more inclined to enhance the power of the Fireball Skill.

The red Spiritual Marsh only made his skin slightly warm, but with no other effects.

Meanwhile, the Golden Scale Beast’s spiritual power was more inclined to enhance the defense capability of his body surface.

Ye Jingcheng tried to operate the Earth Spike Skill, but the speed and power were not significantly enhanced.

It also made Ye Jingcheng understand that the Golden Scale Beast could perform the Earth Spike Skill so fluently probably due to its pair of broad earth-yellow Spiritual Palms.

Even so, Ye Jingcheng was pleasantly surprised enough.

Though the Golden Scale Beast’s Earth Spike Skill was powerful, it was most famous for its scale armor.

So Ye Jingcheng took out a basic magic manual and began to practice the Stone Skin Skill.

Before specializing in the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture, Ye Jingcheng only practiced basic fire attribute magic, like Fireball Skill, Fire Shield Skill, and Fire Snake Skill.

He rarely practiced other attribute spells.

In the Cultivation Realm, it’s also rare for a cultivator to practice all low-tier spells, as most specialize in one type.

After advancing to the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture, he didn’t have enough time to practice, since alchemy and cultivation took up most of his time.

Now with the scale armor effect of the Golden Scale Beast, he decided to learn the Stone Skin Skill.

This Stone Skin Skill was recorded in the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture, and since he was now at Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, practicing it wasn’t slow.

In three days, Ye Jingcheng mastered it completely, and a layer of stone skin appeared on his body surface.

However, unlike the ordinary gray stone skin, Ye Jingcheng’s stone skin was of an ancient bronze color.

Ye Jingcheng took out the Flowing Shadow Sword and cut towards his own arm!

The next moment, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the Flowing Shadow Sword couldn’t even cut through this layer of stone skin.

It’s worth noting that while the Flowing Shadow Sword was just Tier One Lower, it wasn’t considered too weak.

Ye Jingcheng then took out the Silver Snow Needle, and only with spiritual power could he pierce a hole in the stone skin.

This effect made him very satisfied.

This was almost equivalent to a Tier One Middle-grade Defensive Spiritual Artifact.

Moreover, if his skin were also tanned to an ancient bronze color, perhaps others wouldn’t even notice he had the Stone Skin Skill on him.

At critical moments, it might yield unexpected results.

Ye Jingcheng practiced several more times, almost like the Fireball Skill, as long as the spiritual energy was absorbed from the opposite side of the Beast Communication Pattern, he could instantly cast the Stone Skin Skill.

However, if the Stone Skin Skill was applied to other objects, the effect was once again similar to when he performed it on himself.

This point made it futile for Ye Jingcheng to apply the Stone Skin Skill on the Red Flame Fox.

Ye Jingcheng then looked at the Golden Scale Beast, curious about whether it could use the Stone Skin Skill.

In his speculation, the Golden Scale Beast should be able to, but perhaps it was instinctual and not something it would usually notice.

The Golden Scale Beast could sense Ye Jingcheng’s thoughts, but it was also a bit perplexed at the moment, as if asking could it really do it?

Ye Jingcheng, however, had the Golden Scale Beast release different spiritual energies, and its golden scale sheen also changed.

After recording its performance, Ye Jingcheng found that the denser the scale light, the stronger the defense!

With his speculation confirmed, Ye Jingcheng put his mind at ease, but he didn’t immediately refine the Advancement Pill for the Golden Scale Beast.

Having just broken through, the Golden Scale Beast was still unstable, and it would be better to advance once it stabilized.

Now, he was curious about Ye Haiping’s words.

Reaching Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer would make one understand, and he was now at Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer.

The next morning, as dawn broke, Ye Jingcheng headed towards the Treasure Pavilion.

Ye Haiping was still sitting at the case table, and Ye Jingcheng took out Spirit Tea and brewed a pot for him again, filling a cyan flower porcelain cup.

“Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer?” Ye Haiping was a bit surprised, but then it was as if he remembered Ye Jingcheng’s Five-Inch Beast Pattern, becoming somewhat understanding.

He looked at Ye Jingcheng with a certain gaze.

Ye Jingcheng didn’t avoid it, for today he had come to explore the secrets.

More importantly, he wanted to find out how the spirit egg of the Jade-Scaled Snake was exchanged back then.

“I got lucky and broke through, Eighth Granduncle. I’ve been cultivating the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture and still wish to ask if our family could exchange for a new spirit beast!” Ye Jingcheng asked directly, not hiding anything.

The deeper he cultivated the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture, the more he realized how formidable this cultivation technique was. Although there was supposed to be no bottleneck before Foundation Establishment, the sooner he possessed a corresponding spirit beast, the more stable his future cultivation path would be.

“Follow me,” Ye Haiping took out a wooden token and placed it on the table, causing the array of the Treasure Pavilion to change immediately.

After doing this, Ye Haiping led Ye Jingcheng to the stairs of the Treasure Pavilion.

Soon, they reached the second floor.

Ye Jingcheng been there many times, so he wasn’t unfamiliar, but this time, Ye Haiping didn’t stop at the second floor and continued to the third floor.

The third floor of the Treasure Pavilion was even more mysterious, and even when Ye Jingcheng followed the shadow of the stairs up, he felt a certain blur.

When they reached the third floor, Ye Jingcheng thought it would be a place storing treasures.

Unexpectedly, he found it empty, resembling a conference hall.

In the center of the hall, there was a Spirit Diagram, marked with various signs, such as the Xianyun Chu Clan and the Buqing Li Clan…

Without exception, all these clans were marked in red.

At the top, the most crimson was clearly the Taiyi Sect.

This scene naturally left Ye Jingcheng puzzled.

He wanted to speak, but Ye Haiping did not answer, merely took out a token from the Spirit Table beside him.

The token looked no different from an ordinary clan token, appearing gray and dull.

“Swap this family token with yours, and you will be an inner hall member of the clan in the future!” Ye Haiping didn’t explain much, handing the token to Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng accepted the token, and in the next moment, he suddenly discovered there was something profound within this clan token.

As his Divine Sense entered, he found many spirit shadows within.

Looking closely at these spirit shadows, he could see that they included jade talismans, spirit beast eggs, spirit pills, magical artifacts…

Each spirit shadow had corresponding contribution points.

This was clearly a more detailed exchange list.

“This is the Inner Hall’s token. The treasures inside here can all be exchanged, as long as you have enough contribution points!”

“Additionally, members of the Inner Hall can access part of the clan’s secrets. In the future, if the token’s spiritual light lights up with one beam, it means there is a meeting here; if it lights up with two beams, the clan is having changes and an urgent meeting is needed; if it lights up with three beams, preserve yourself for the clan faces an existential crisis!”
