Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 125: Chapter 126: Successive Breakthroughs

The seeds of the Purple Illusion Flower are about the size of green beans for the smaller ones, and broad beans for the larger ones, entirely purple with a red line separating the middle.

Clearly, this red part is the heart of the sprout within the seed.

All four seeds appear extremely smooth, and when placed in the palm, one can sometimes feel a sense of purple mist, quite mystical.

As for the two better seeds, Ye Jingcheng simply placed them aside.

To be illuminated by the Moonlight Stone.

The two slightly inferior seeds were slowly infused with Treasure Light.

This time, he controlled the amount of Treasure Light more carefully.

After all, it’s just an experiment.

To his pleasant surprise, the Treasure Light was absorbed by the seeds very quickly with not a single trace spilling.

This is similar to Spirit Beasts.

After infusing for ten breaths of time, Ye Jingcheng stopped, and placed the two seeds along with the comparison seeds into separate Jade Bowls.

Afterward, he activated his Divine Sense and began observing.

Soon, what amazed him greatly was the lower-quality Purple Illusion Flower seeds absorbed the Spirit Liquid faster than the superior-quality ones.

Moreover, as time went by, the gap between the four seeds seemed to be narrowing!

This change is quite subtle, extremely hard to observe with the naked eye, but can be clearly distinguished with a cultivator’s Divine Sense.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng’s eyes glowed with brilliance.

In this way, in the future he can not only tame Spirit Beasts but also cultivate Spirit Plants and Spirit Medicine.

Of course, that is still far away; for now, the main focus is to cultivate the Purple Illusion Flower, produce Spiritual Honey, and sell Spirit Stones, or consume it personally, while ensuring the Five Poison Bees can breed and develop normally.

Everything is ready now, except the Spirit Field.

The Spirit Field requires two months to be usable.

Since Spirit Fields differ from ordinary plains, allowing for intensive planting, if the Spirit Field isn’t fertile, Spirit Medicine cannot grow properly.

This would go against the original purpose of cultivating a Spirit Field.

Ye Jingcheng put away the Jade Talisman and seeds and entered the room, only to find the Jade Qilin Snake expressing an extreme desire.

Instantly, his expression brightened; previously, when the Golden Scale Beast and Red Flame Fox were going to advance, it was the same.

He came to the side of the Spirit-Storage Array, where the Jade Qilin Snake raised its head, flicked its tongue, and its cold triangular eyes showed a trace of longing.

“Hungry!”

A fluctuation of Divine Soul conveyed thoughts unceasingly.

Thus, Ye Jingcheng directly took out three Cyan Spirit Pills and fetched a Cyan Cloud Wolf carcass.

Finally, he supplemented it with quite a bit of Treasure Light.

The Jade Qilin Snake swallowed them one by one, each time Ye Jingcheng thought the Jade Qilin Snake couldn’t eat more.

However, the Jade Qilin Snake proved with its actions that the amount of Spirit Beast Meat was just drizzles!

After swallowing, the snake’s body started visibly expanding.

White jade-like patterns appeared on its body, flowing like waves—most fascinating.

The Jade Qilin Snake seemed to have eaten its fill, curling together again.

Only the Jade Qilin Tail Saber stood upright.

Soon, as the Jade Qilin Snake lay down, its entire body was enveloped in jade light.

Ye Jingcheng activated the Spirit Array once more, while maximizing the courtyard’s Array, and summoned the Golden Scale Beast to keep an eye on things.

The Golden Scale Beast roared repeatedly at this.

As if saying it’d been observed before and now it wanted to look back.

It only showed a greedy gaze briefly since back in Jade Dragon Valley, it had eaten many snakes, so now, even if the Jade Qilin Snake showed jade light, it held no interest.

Furthermore, it noticed that the Jade Qilin Snake was gazing at it openly, not fazed by its intimidation.

It even looked at it through the jade light.

Its tongue flicked, spitting more poison saliva, seemingly salivating.

Moreover, the poison saliva visibly increased.

Seeing this, the Golden Scale Beast turned away from the Jade Qilin Snake, instead casting nostalgic eyes toward the Spirit Field outside.

…

A month passed unnoticed, as Ye Jingcheng awakened from cultivation.

Seeing the Four Phase Spiritual Power growing slightly stronger, he felt gratified.

Now he was one step closer to reaching the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer.

Yet at that moment, he noticed his internal Water Phase Spiritual Power had suddenly increased a little, as if foreboding something, leading him to look out the window.

Outside, the sky had grown dark and overcast without his noticing.

With a dazzling flash, thunder rumbled outside the house.

Amid the thunder, a sudden rain nourished the earth.

Pouring onto the wooden house, the grassland, the forest.

Obviously, early spring had come again.

And in the yard, many moths emerged.

Flying through the rain.

Ye Jingcheng stepped out of the yard, casting a simple Spirit Shield Skill to keep the rain at bay.

He headed to the Spirit Field, where the Jade Ring Rat was still in the Spirit Field.

Here, due to the Three Talents Spirit Trapping Array, the rain also couldn’t fall in, so the Jade Ring Rat was staring at the moths outside.

After watching for a while, it squeaked loudly.

As if saying how bravely it caught moths in the past!

At this moment, the refined Jade Ring Rat was no longer as plump as before, with its claws elongated and sharp, giving a much stronger aura.

It quite has the demeanor of a Mouse King!

Its Jade Ring Ears also grew more conspicuous, with even brighter spiritual light.

The only pity is, even though it’s close to a small breakthrough, there’s still some distance; note that the number of spirit pills the Jade Ring Rat has swallowed now is more than double the previous amount.

Obviously, not being included in the Treasure Book has its reasons.

In front of the Jade Ring Rat, the spirit field had been renewed, with daily soil turning and nurturing with spirit nurturing liquid, plus the burial of spirit stones, along with the unique spirit gathering array channeling spiritual energy into the ground.

The field appeared somewhat translucent, akin to spiritual soil, and the amount of spiritual energy far surpassed before.

Ye Jingcheng called the Jade Ring Rat to him, massaging its big ring ears while infusing some treasure light into it, his eyes filled with approval.

Yet at this moment.

The thought of hunger resonated once again in Ye Jingcheng’s mind.

With a twinkle in his eye, Ye Jingcheng took out two spirit nourishing pills and placed them down, hurrying towards the house.

This was the first divine soul fluctuation transmitted to him by the Jade Qilin Snake after a month.

It was evident that the spirit stones were depleted, for the spirit gathering array had dimmed drastically.

The jade light of the Jade Qilin Snake had also diminished.

Its long snake body appeared like white jade.

It had grown another three feet or so, and the Jade Qilin Tail Saber could still gather spirit aura, forming a blade aura-like existence, terrifyingly sharp!

Even a slight pass over the stone table left huge scratches.

The white jade-like snake hide began to intricate patterns.

“Not bad!” Ye Jingcheng murmured, touching the snake head of the Jade Qilin Snake as it eagerly approached him, infusing treasure light, and taking out several cyan spirit pills.

And a Cyan Cloud Wolf.

Jade Qilin Snake devoured it in a single bite, its forked tongue flickering with a face full of relish.

Additionally, Ye Jingcheng discovered that the Jade Qilin Snake could start to exhale a slight layer of white jade poison mist.

Though this poison mist had strong corrosiveness, it wasn’t very useful, but Ye Jingcheng thought of pairing it with the Purple Illusion Flower.

The latter was magical, the former corrosive.

If hidden within the poison mist are shadow needles, silver snow needles, and five poison bees.

The effect should be even better.

The breakthrough of the Jade Qilin Snake seemingly stimulated Ye Jingcheng, prompting him to increase cultivation time in the following month.

Almost immersing in alchemy once every three days.

Apart from this, he also began consuming Red Ganoderma Pills.

One day, as the spiritual energy within him rapidly expanded, the fire attribute spiritual power still dominated significantly.

Followed by earth, water, and wood phases.

This time, Ye Jingcheng intensely felt the sense of a boundary wall between realms!

The feeling of being able to break through at any moment intoxicated him.

Grinding his teeth, he took Red Ganoderma Pills and Lotus Yellow Pills together, leveraging the beast communication pattern to draw substantial fire and earth attribute spiritual powers.

Soon after, his body started resonating with the booming of spiritual power.

The Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture was operated to its peak, a small vortex quickly unfolded within him.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Jingcheng felt as if something broke in the dark.

The next moment, countless spiritual energies surged out, and his aura suddenly broke through to Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer!

Instantaneously, his spiritual energy swelled by several times, although at this moment, Ye Jingcheng felt a sense of disparity, as the fire phase was too strong, while wood and water phases were too weak.

That warm feeling emerged once more.

Clearly, this was the previously described flaw of the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture.

However, fortunately, this flaw does not hinder breaking through to Foundation Establishment; it only pertains to bottlenecks after Foundation Establishment.

Ye Jingcheng roughly calculated the time and discovered that it had been three months since the Jade Qilin Snake’s breakthrough.

He trained diligently over these three months, even forgetting to plant the Purple Illusion Flower seeds.

Fortunately, cultivating the spirit field for two extra months wasn’t a problem.

Moreover, due to higher investments, the spirit field would be more fertile.

By then, the growth of the Purple Illusion Flower would be better.

After his breakthrough, Ye Jingcheng circulated two more circulations.

Since he consumed elixirs, he needed to take some time to refine the spiritual energy; otherwise, the spiritual energy would be very unstable, negatively impacting future cultivation.

Additionally, in the coming months, Ye Jingcheng could not consume more elixirs until the erysipelas dissipated.

Otherwise, if erysipelas breaks out, the cultivators will be the ones suffering.

After he finished his cultivation again, the fierce sun began to directly shine on Lingyun Peak.

Unknowingly, the chorus of cicadas of midsummer had replaced the springtime.

He stepped out of the house, removed the seclusion sign, and began nourishing each spirit beast one by one.

The Jade Qilin Snake still consumed the most spirit beast meat, while the Red Flame Fox consumed the most spirit pills, and among the ten Five Poison Bees, the poison needles transformed, even the color spirit patterns seemed to have dulled.

Only with the stimulation of Treasure Book Spiritual Light, they were full of vitality.

Ye Jingcheng stepped out of the yard, heading towards the spirit field.

The moment the spirit field was entirely formed, the soil inside exuded faint spiritual light and became harder compared to before.

This was a sign of more fertile spirit soil!

Ye Jingcheng only needed to excavate several seed pits, bury the seeds, apply the Spring Rain Technique daily, and then infuse treasure light into these seeds, likely resulting in extremely lush growth.

The Jade Ring Rat was also nearby, its claws stronger, with some changes in aura, seemingly completing a small breakthrough.

Though still mid-stage first tier, it equated to the intensity of a Human Race Cultivator at Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer.
