Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 129: Chapter 130: Secret Technique of Accelerated Breeding

After a heavy spring rain, spring bamboo shoots broke through the soil, scattered throughout the Bamboo Forest.

Some even lifted stones as they grew out, appearing sturdier as if the Stone Bamboo had grown stronger with the stone’s blessing.

Meanwhile, the bamboo leaves, which turned yellow during the cold autumn and winter, seemed more lush and verdant after being washed by the spring rain.

Ye Jingcheng sat on a bench in the bamboo pavilion, but his mood for watching the bamboo was somewhat distracted.

After returning from the Treasure Tower, he was surprised to find that a significant amount of Spiritual Honey had been produced in the hive within the Spirit Field.

According to his understanding, the normal efficiency of the Five Poison Bees should only be half of that.

Clearly, it was the work of Treasure Light, which enhanced the growth of the Purple Illusion Flower and also boosted the Five Poison Bees.

This mutual enhancement resulted in an increase in the Spiritual Honey.

After just five days, the poison needle of the Five Poison Bees turned black again.

This also meant that the Five Poison Bees could be stimulated to reproduce.

This was naturally a significant matter for Ye Jingcheng.

The earlier the stimulation, the better, otherwise, when the Five Poison Bees die of old age, it would all be in vain.

Hence, he waited in the Bamboo Forest.

Before long, Ye Xingqun walked out.

At this moment, Ye Xingqun seemed a bit busy, dressed in multicolored clothes, looking a bit fatigued, and even had a few Five Poison Bees on him.

These Five Poison Bees were not as large as Ye Jingcheng’s Five Poison Bees, estimated to be more than half the size smaller than Ye Jingcheng’s largest one.

Even their stingers were considerably shorter.

But their numbers were something that made Ye Jingcheng quite envious.

“Jingcheng, you’re here?”

“Seventh Uncle, I’ve come unannounced this time, as I truly have a favor to ask!”

Ye Jingcheng didn’t beat around the bush, speaking directly, and then took out a basket containing five Spiritual Almonds and a pill bottle with three Red Ganoderma Pills.

Among them, the Red Ganoderma Pill still emitted a rich Pill Fragrance, signifying a higher-quality Spirit Pill.

“Jingcheng, have you broken through to a Tier One Top-grade Alchemist?” Ye Xingqun couldn’t help but ask.

Regarding these Spirit Pills and Spirit Fruit, Ye Xingqun was naturally intrigued, as his cultivation technique mainly focused on fire.

Moreover, he had a very positive impression of Ye Jingcheng.

“I was fortunate to break through, and the family even allocated a piece of Spirit Field to me, with a few Five Poison Bees improving, but unfortunately, the number of those Five Poison Bees is really too few…”

“Those ten Five Poison Bees of yours are indeed too few!” Ye Xingqun was a bit surprised at Ye Jingcheng maintaining those ten Five Poison Bees, but there wasn’t much he could do about it,

as his own Spirit Bees were not many either, which was why he looked somewhat hesitant.

“Seventh Uncle, I’ve come this time to ask how to make the Five Poison Bees reproduce rapidly!” Ye Jingcheng also noticed that Ye Xingqun seemed to misunderstand, so he quickly explained.

“The stimulation method, ah, that’s not a problem!” Ye Xingqun breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and handed Ye Jingcheng a Jade Talisman.

After handing it over, he added:

“Jingcheng, your Queen Bee and Xiong Feng had already been stimulated, so the success rate isn’t high!” Ye Xingqun pushed the pill bottle and the basket back, taking only one Spiritual Almond.

“Seventh Uncle, I still want to give it a try!” Ye Jingcheng nodded, but he didn’t take back the basket and pill bottle.

“If it doesn’t work out, perhaps Seventh Uncle will have to wait a few more years until there is a new Queen Bee of the Five Poison Bees to sell some to me!”

“No problem!” When Ye Xingqun heard it would be for the next batch, he agreed immediately.

It was thanks to Ye Jingcheng when he was at the Five Poison Peak.

Since it’s the next batch, he was confident he could cultivate over a thousand, and sparing a couple of hundred for Ye Jingcheng would be no issue.

“Jingcheng, would you like to take some bamboo shoots back with you?” Ye Xingqun saw Ye Jingcheng seemed ready to leave, and he was indeed busy, so it was hard to persuade him to stay.

However, having received Spirit Pills and Spiritual Almonds worth hundreds, he spoke up regardless.

Then, without waiting for Ye Jingcheng to refuse, he swung his sword, cutting a small Bamboo Whip and a few bamboo shoots from the depths of the Bamboo Forest next to him.

“Jingcheng, these Bamboo Whips and bamboo shoots have seemed to gain a bit of spirituality over the years. I’ll give you a section; you have just obtained Spirit Field, so you might be able to cultivate Spirit Bamboo like in the Taihang Market!” Ye Xingqun said half-jokingly.

He often gave away the bamboo shoots like this, but the Bamboo Whip was because he saw Ye Jingcheng also cherished bamboo.

“Then thank you very much, Seventh Uncle!” Ye Jingcheng quickly expressed his gratitude.

Although he couldn’t consume the bamboo shoots himself, taking them back for the Jade Ring Rat would be excellent.

Regarding the Jade Ring Rat, Ye Jingcheng had become much more attentive recently.

After all, the Spirit Rat currently seemed similar to the Earthworm in its soil-turning abilities.

As for the Bamboo Whip, Ye Jingcheng intended to try cultivating it like the Tea Tree.

If it truly produced Spirit Bamboo, even if all were cut down to sell for Spirit Stones, it would be an unexpected income.

Moreover, this transformation from ordinary objects to Tier One Lower Grade Spiritual Objects required no explanation, as such occurrences were common in mountains and fields rich in Spiritual Energy.

After bidding farewell to Ye Xingqun, Ye Jingcheng returned to his courtyard, beginning to plan the stimulation method.

After studying for half a moment, Ye Jingcheng finally understood.

The method of stimulation was divided into two types: one was using Spirit Medicine, finding a kind of Spirit Medicine called Demon-enticing Grass, which could stimulate reproduction.

However, the Demon-enticing Grass was even rarer than the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Ye Jingcheng almost considered it impossible.

The second method was to use an Illusion Array and an Overdraft Secret Technique for stimulation!

An Illusion Array is designed to create an illusion that excites the Spirit Insect, while the Overdraft Secret Technique is another kind of Elixir.

The pill is called Celestial Emotion Pill, and it belongs to Tier One Middle-Grade Spirit Pill. The method is also recorded in the Jade Talisman; Ye Jingcheng just needs to gather the Spirit Medicine.

According to the Jade Talisman, this Celestial Emotion Pill has excellent effects and is quite popular among Evil Cultivators.

With these two conditions, plus keeping the Spirit Insects in peak physical condition, it should be fine.

Moreover, the materials for this elixir are all available in the Ye Family’s Treasure Tower, which made Ye Jingcheng breathe a sigh of relief.

He walked out of the courtyard and looked towards the Spirit Field again.

Only to see that more Purple Illusion Flowers had bloomed, and the purple mist had already spread all over.

Inside the set-up beehives, there was another thin layer of Spiritual Honey.

The Queen Bee and Xiong Feng were lying in the beehive, enjoying the rare delicacy.

Their discreet tail stingers had already regained their cold glimmer.

Upon Ye Jingcheng’s arrival, they fluttered their wings as a greeting.

Ye Jingcheng did not disturb them and continued looking at other places.

The Jade Ring Rat was currently tilling the vacant Spirit Field, working diligently to the extreme.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng was very satisfied.

Ye Jingcheng took out two Spirit Nourishing Pills as a reward and then took out a few Stone Bamboo Shoots.

This Stone Bamboo is renowned for its thickness among bamboo, and so are these shoots.

Although the Jade Ring Rat is not a Bamboo Rat, it couldn’t resist the delicacy either, its eyes filled with gratitude towards Ye Jingcheng.

“Work hard, and there will be more bamboo shoots like these in the future!” Ye Jingcheng took out the Bamboo Whip and buried it at the edge of the Spirit Field.

Then he infused it with some Treasure Light.

The Bamboo Whip is easier to cultivate compared to other Spirit Plants, especially on Spirit Soil, so Ye Jingcheng did not even use Spiritual Essence Liquid.

However, he discovered that the Treasure Light absorbed by the Bamboo Whip was no less than that by the Tea Stem.

It seemed to have even greater potential than the Tea Tree.

Ye Jingcheng only marveled for a while before leaving.

He didn’t hold too much expectation for bamboo, as he wasn’t planning to invest much effort into the Spirit Field either.

For him, the most crucial thing is still cultivation.

The Spiritual Honey from the Five Poison Bees can offset part of the Erysipelas, which is his original intention.

Thus, when enough Five Poison Queen Bees are cultivated, the role of this field manager should still belong to the Jade Ring Rat.

After dealing with the Spirit Plants, Ye Jingcheng headed towards the Treasure Tower.

Today, quite a few cultivators came to exchange at the Treasure Tower; Ye Jingcheng even waited in line for a while.

When it was Ye Jingcheng’s turn, Ye Haiping directly handed him a Storage Bag.

This made Ye Jingcheng a bit puzzled.

“This was brought by someone for Jingteng. He is now in seclusion, breaking through to Foundation Establishment!” Ye Haiping explained.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng was taken aback, but then he recalled.

In the Taiyi Sect, the Foundation Establishment Pill is refined every five years, but sold externally every ten years.

Moreover, after Taiyi Sect refines the Foundation Establishment Pill, it is first digested within the sect, and only then is it sold to various families.

Which means they will only sell it next year. This year, many Foundation Establishment Pills have already been designated within the Taiyi Sect.

Ye Jingteng is one of them.

Moreover, many disciples who failed to compete within the Taiyi Sect would go to various auction markets held by affiliated forces to vie for the Foundation Establishment Pill, making it even more sought after.

Ye Jingcheng opened the Storage Bag to find a hundred-year-old Jade Beauty Fruit inside.

This Jade Beauty Fruit is an underground fruit with a layer of Spirit Hide on its surface. The denser the circles on the Spirit Hide, the older the fruit’s age, and the more abundant its Water Attribute Spiritual Energy and the fresher its pulp.

“Thank you, Eighth Grandpa!” Ye Jingcheng expressed his gratitude, while also taking out a Jade Talisman to exchange for the elixir materials for Celestial Emotion Pill and a Tier One Lower-grade Illusion Array.

As for the materials for the Celestial Emotion Pill and the Illusion Array, Ye Haiping didn’t say much, but before leaving, he told Ye Jingcheng that cultivating diligently should also be considered a family contribution for the actions taking place a year from now.

Ye Jingcheng was stern at this point.

Ye Haiping’s reminders always seem to have implicit meanings, so he couldn’t help but wonder if the family has other actions in mind. Otherwise, as an Alchemy Master, he actually doesn’t have much leverage.

At the auction, it’s still about financial strength.

And in this regard, although he, Ye, may seem generous, it is quite difficult to take out a lot of Spirit Stones from the Storage Bag.

Ye Jingcheng thought for a while but shook his head, having no clue.

However, improving strength is always the right path.

Therefore, Ye Jingcheng’s resolve to accelerate the maturity of the Five Poison Bees became stronger, and he paid even more attention to enhancing the Red Flame Fox’s strength.

The Red Flame Fox is currently the one most likely to make another small breakthrough.

Besides, Ye Jingcheng also needs to start researching the Pill Formula for the Jade Qilin Pill.

Currently, he is only missing the main herb, Water Cloud Grass, and two auxiliary herbs for the Jade Qilin Pill.

As for the other auxiliary herbs, Ye Jingcheng has already leveraged his alchemist’s convenience to have the family collect them all.

Also, the family is keeping an eye on the Water Cloud Grass.

He would be notified as soon as there is any news; what he needs to do is familiarize himself with the Pill Formula in advance.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingcheng also felt a pang of anxiety.

He suddenly realized he is as busy as the Jade Ring Rat, not much better off!
