Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 130: Chapter 131: Fog Escape?

After several days of continuous rain, the weather cleared once more at Lingyun Peak.

As a few rays of sunlight shot into the room from the windowsill, the Red Flame Fox shifted its nest, letting the sunlight fall on its fiery red fur.

It looked just like a lazy flame.

Ye Jingcheng habitually fed a few Spirit Beasts several Elixirs and a bit of Spirit Beast Meat, then headed outside.

During these ten days, he had already refined the Celestial Emotion Pill.

Besides, he also set up the Illusion Array. For this, he visited Ye Xingqun once more.

With guidance from the latter, the illusions were now ready.

The returning temperature was more favorable for the breeding of Spirit Insects.

Thus, Ye Jingcheng also chose today to complete the grand undertaking of the Spirit Bees.

During this season, changes in the Spirit Field were always significant.

Now, almost all the Purple Illusion Flowers were blooming, making the six Five Poison Bees hardly noticeable amidst them.

Each one was extremely busy.

The remaining four lay quietly inside the hive, still ingesting Spiritual Honey and the Purple Illusion Poison Fog in the air.

At Ye Jingcheng’s command, the Queen Bee and three Xiong Feng left the hive.

At this moment, the colors of the five-color patterns on their bodies deepened, and their aura seemed to grow stronger.

The long tail stinger appeared to have grown a bit as well.

Compared to when Ye Jingcheng first obtained them, which was equivalent to the aura fluctuation of the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, now it had the fluctuation of the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer.

Of course, Spirit Insects at the same tier should not be compared with Peers or Spirit Beasts of the same tier.

One-on-one, a Late Stage of First Tier Spirit Bee might not even be a match for a Mid-stage First Tier Cyan-Scaled Python.

But the dread of Spirit Insects lay in their numbers; that overwhelming, suffocating feeling was enough to make any Qi Cultivation Cultivator turn and flee.

The Illusion Array was set up beside the Spirit Field, and through the surface of the Spirit Shield, one could see a rather deep valley. This valley was filled with Five Poison Flowers, Celestial Poison Grass, Snakeberry Blood Buds, and various other Poison Flowers and Poisonous Herbs.

There was also a gigantic beehive!

As well as countless Five Poison Bees flying to and fro.

The four Five Poison Bees buzzed with excitement as they entered, utterly joyful.

This type of environment was their favorite. If Ye Jingcheng’s current Purple Illusion Flower Spirit Field was a humble cabin, then inside this Illusion Array was the supreme palace.

Ye Jingcheng took out several Celestial Emotion Pills.

This time, he planned to go all out.

Celestial Emotion Pills were just as irresistible to Spirit Beasts and Spirit Insects, so very quickly, the four Five Poison Bees shared them.

After sharing, they began to heap together and burrow into the hive.

Ye Jingcheng did not continue watching, but through the Blood Contract, he could sense that the Queen Bee felt very sublime.

Ye Jingcheng called the Jade Ring Rat over to guard the Array and then returned to the room to start refining the Green Water Pill.

These days, he had thoroughly researched the Pill Formula for the Green Water Pill and had already refined one furnace of it.

However, it ended in failure.

Because refining Water Attribute Spirit Pills required greater control over the flames.

After summarizing the experience, Ye Jingcheng began his Alchemy once again.

Lately, the Red Flame Fox’s Flame Control had diminished significantly, possibly nearing a breakthrough, so Ye Jingcheng had to sometimes manage the temperature, even slightly distancing the Cyan Elephant Furnace.

Or creating a layer of Pill Residue ahead of time at the furnace’s bottom.

It caused sweat to bead on his forehead.

Fortunately, the solidifying of the pill succeeded completely with the Three-Part Pill Furnace Technique.

The Cyan Elephant Furnace emitted a crisp elephant trumpeting, and the lid flew off, letting a verdant Green Water Pill fall into Ye Jingcheng’s hand.

Ye Jingcheng tidied up the Pill Furnace, meticulously cleaning it; upon finishing, he took out the Jade Talisman and began recording.

Refining a Green Water Pill did not count as profit for Ye Jingcheng, as the Spirit Medicines used were also costly.

He needed to refine other Elixirs, such as the Cyan Spirit Pill, to earn several Spirit Stones daily.

After completing and summarizing records, Ye Jingcheng turned to the Red Flame Fox, taking out a Red Ganoderma Pill and a remaining Red Flame Pill for it.

The Golden Scale Beast used two Golden Scale Pills to advance successfully, whereas the Red Flame Fox succeeded with only one.

Previously, because Ye Jingcheng wanted to experiment on other family Spirit Beasts, and now Ye Haiyun was experimenting, he didn’t need to stay — instead, he might try to have the Red Flame Fox break through again.

During this time, he had also stored numerous other Elixirs.

Only the Jade Qilin Snake had a single pill for now.

However, with family actions planned for next year, Ye Jingcheng still decided to enhance the Red Flame Fox first.

The Jade Qilin Snake could not be exposed for the family’s sake at the moment.

“eeeekeek!” The Red Flame Fox was extremely excited to finally smell the long-missed Red Flame Pill. Its sky-blue eyes seemed to be alight with flames.

Its two tails constantly swept side to side like fiery red brooms.

After affectionately nuzzling Ye Jingcheng’s palm, the Red Flame Fox swallowed both pills. Ye Jingcheng also petted the fox’s nape, infusing it with Treasure Light.

After eating the Red Flame Pill, the Red Flame Fox’s entire body was enveloped with a layer of crimson Spiritual Light.

But the effect was far less impressive than the first time.

Ye Jingcheng estimated that the Red Flame Fox would wake up in three to four days.

The chances of a breakthrough were also minimal.

This dashed Ye Jingcheng’s hopes of continuing to refine the Red Flame Pill.

Once the Red Flame Fox settled by the bed to quietly digest, Ye Jingcheng took the Jade Qilin Snake and the Golden Scale Beast out of the room.

Though he would not use the Jade Qilin Snake at that time, it still remained his trump card.

And if the trump card was not fast enough, he would not feel secure inside.

The Golden Scale Beast’s Stone Armor Skill is quite impressive; it’s perfect for a clash with the Jade Qilin Snake’s Jade Qilin Tail Saber!

Ye Jingcheng first took out the Array, encircled a large area to ensure that no significant fluctuations would occur, and then let them officially commence their battle.

After instructing them not to aim for fatal areas, Ye Jingcheng watched from the side.

Of course, his attention was not lacking in the slightest at this moment.

If any Spirit Beast truly died, it would be a significant loss for him.

The Jade Qilin Snake still lazily coiled nearby, its vertical pupils gleaming with an intimidating light.

The waves it emitted carried the notion of “deliciousness”!

This left Ye Jingcheng rather helpless.

However, the Golden Scale Beast was intensely disgusted by the Jade Qilin Snake’s gaze!

It roared several times, then clapped its paws together, causing countless Earth Spikes to shoot out towards the Jade Qilin Snake!

While it hadn’t battled for two years, the Golden Scale Beast had regularly trained with the Red Flame Fox, and its Earth Spike Skill had long reached mastery.

But the Jade Qilin Snake’s body technique was even more bizarre; it twisted around, spewing some poisonous fog!

The White Jade Poison Mist drifted towards the Golden Scale Beast, and simultaneously, its speed while weaving through the White Jade Spirit Mist was terrifying!

Ye Jingcheng only noticed a White Jade Spiritual Aura flash past, suddenly appearing before the Golden Scale Beast!

Bang!

The Jade Qilin Tail Saber slashed down on the back of the Golden Scale Beast, shattering its golden Stone Armor in an instant, revealing its flesh.

“Roar!” The pained Golden Scale Beast roared continuously!

With this roar, Earth Spikes erupted around it!

Each spike was incredibly sharp, aiming directly at the Jade Qilin Snake.

Yet the Jade Qilin Snake’s body technique was extremely elusive.

It twisted and dodged strangely, slashing down again, severing countless Earth Spikes in half.

Luckily, during this gap, the Jade Qilin Snake leapt out of the area, escaping from the White Jade Spirit Mist.

The Jade Qilin Snake then slowed down again, its vertical pupils still emitting cold light, and the gleam of the Jade Qilin Tail Saber brightened once more, as if gathering power!

However, before making a move, the Jade Qilin Snake spat out another mouthful of poisonous mist!

This poison mist enveloped the Golden Scale Beast.

“Water Escape Skill!” Ye Jingcheng’s eyes sparkled, muttering to himself!

This Jade Qilin Snake’s poisonous mist wasn’t merely simple poison; it was using the moisture within the fog to execute a Water Escape!

Or rather, a Fog Escape.

Thus, the Jade Qilin Snake paused each time before attacking.

This was crucial for Ye Jingcheng.

He took out a Cloth Bag Spiritual Artifact, obtained from exchanging at the family Treasure Tower; just a Tier One Middle-grade Spiritual Artifact, the Cangfeng Bag.

It could release gusts of wind and Wind Blades, not very useful normally, but excellent for collecting the Purple Illusion Poison Fog.

Ye Jingcheng released the Purple Illusion Poison Fog, and instantly, the Jade Qilin Snake showed an emotionally moving Divine Soul fluctuation.

It again transformed into White Jade Spiritual Aura, shooting towards the Golden Scale Beast!

The speed was astonishing, surpassing Ye Jingcheng’s expectations once more.

The Golden Scale Beast unsurprisingly met with defeat, revealing a long, narrow Jade Qilin Saber mark, with blood continually seeping out.

Ye Jingcheng quickly stepped forward to treat the Golden Scale Beast with Treasure Light.

Meanwhile, the Jade Qilin Snake stood somewhat dumbfounded nearby.

“Hiss hiss hiss!”

Repeatedly flicking its tongue, it communicated to Ye Jingcheng.

Even if it’s not completely intact, it can devour it!

“The Golden Scale Beast cannot be eaten!” Ye Jingcheng glared at the Jade Qilin Snake.

The latter then stuck out its tongue, appearing somewhat disappointed.

But the disappointment didn’t last three breaths before it hissed again:

“But it smells so good…”

The Golden Scale Beast showed a hint of fear, but mostly, a fierceness.

It was thinking of becoming stronger to repay the favor, so the Divine Soul fluctuation it emitted was about refining the Golden Scale Pill.

Ye Jingcheng patted the latter’s forehead, seemingly not noticing, and while inputting Treasure Light, he said, “Before, it was the Red Flame Fox that wasn’t agile enough; now, it’s you. When the Red Flame Fox comes out, you’ll take turns!”

The Golden Scale Beast’s gaze became even more vacant, feeling its life hopeless!

Even when Ye Jingcheng gave it its favorite Lotus Yellow Pill, it tasted like chewing wax!

The Red Flame Fox slept for four days at most without any unexpected results and didn’t reach the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer’s wave, but Ye Jingcheng found that the flame on the Red Flame Fox’s forehead was even brighter.

Even if there wasn’t a breakthrough, it would probably happen within a year.

Ye Jingcheng was extremely satisfied in his heart, looking towards the hive’s Illusion Array.

Currently, the Illusion Array had dimmed significantly due to the Array Disc Spirit Stone, and when he observed the hive, he found that many tiny bee larvae had been born.

The three Xiong Feng Bees were already on the verge of death, reverting to the state when Ye Jingcheng first raised them.

As for the Queen Bee, it was still laying eggs, though it seemed a bit malnourished.

Ye Jingcheng took the Queen Bee back to the Spirit Field’s hive, allowing it to suck on Spiritual Honey, simultaneously inputting Treasure Light into it.

At this moment, he could easily count that there were already more than fifty bee eggs.

This was only after a few days; Ye Jingcheng felt that after receiving Treasure Light, egg production seemed to increase.

Ye Xingqun had around three to four hundred Spirit Eggs!

If he could get five to six hundred this time, it would mean the Treasure Book also promotes Spirit Beast reproduction!
