Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 131: Chapter 132: Clan Assembly Convened

Unknowingly, the mountain forest was filled with the sound of cicadas.

The fiery red sky seemed to have frozen, not having turned gloomy for a long time.

These days, Ye Jingcheng was quite joyful, seeing thirty to forty Spirit Eggs laid every day.

Though the Spiritual Honey in the hive was almost entirely consumed by the Queen Bee.

After all, there were only six worker bees collecting nectar.

Ye Jingcheng didn’t mind, as he cared more about the long-term development of Spiritual Honey.

The three drones, saved by the Treasure Light, survived, but grew more aged, likely with only a few days left to live.

This hesitance made Ye Jingcheng doubt that the treatment from the Treasure Book could heal injuries but not aging.

Ye Jingcheng even felt that this treatment might affect lifespan in the long run.

Unfortunately, with too few cases and short time spans, Ye Jingcheng couldn’t fully research it, and he eventually gave up on the three drones.

Half a month later, the Queen Bee laid a total of seven hundred Five Poison Bee Spirit Eggs, scattered throughout the hive.

Ye Jingcheng was quite delighted at the sight.

Among these Spirit Eggs, Ye Jingcheng observed three Bee Kings and thirty drones!

This meant that once these Five Poison Bees hatched, Ye Jingcheng would have them for magical combat and future breeding.

However, the hatching would take half a year, so Ye Jingcheng could only wait.

Ye Xingqun was busy tending to the newly born Five Poison Bees during this time.

The following days settled into calm.

Ye Jingcheng spent his days in beast taming and alchemy, and nights in cultivation, busy yet fulfilling.

Only at the early sunrise and sunset did Ye Jingcheng allow himself time for a cup of Spring Tea, adjusting his mindset.

The Golden Scale Beast was quite troubled, being greeted daily by Crimson Flame Fox’s Fireball Skill. Sometimes, unable to dodge, it would withstand using Stone Armor Skill!

Each time, it would end up charred and needed Ye Jingcheng’s Treasure Light for recovery.

During these days, the Golden Scale Beast ventured outside alone more frequently!

It would return more spirited each time.

Half a year passed quietly.

Ye Jingcheng waited in the room, and now the Crimson Flame Fox had begun to blaze.

It was isolated by a heat array.

After an unknown amount of time, the Crimson Flame Fox gradually calmed down.

Its aura had already transformed, reaching the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer in surges.

The next step would be Foundation Establishment, becoming a Tier Two Spirit Beast!

For Spirit Beasts, breaking through to Tier Two doesn’t involve any Foundation Establishment Pills, nor do they experience Three Foundation Gates, just two—a sufficient bloodline and enough Spiritual Energy!

The Crimson Flame Fox’s bloodline was undoubtedly sufficient, so the next step was to consume a large quantity of Spirit Pills!

Of course, the Spiritual Power required for breaking the realm was far beyond what was needed for mid-stage or late-stage of Tier One.

Ye Jingcheng estimated that even for the Crimson Flame Fox, it would take at least five or six years!

“Chirp, chirp!” The Crimson Flame Fox chirped excitedly, its flames at its brow shone brighter, its two tails thicker and more dazzling.

Ye Jingcheng called the Crimson Flame Fox to his side, feeding it Red Ganoderma Pill and Treasure Light.

The fox stuck out its little tongue, continually licking Ye Jingcheng’s arm.

The nearby Jade Qilin Snake cast puzzled glances, thinking it should be licking the Golden Scale Beast instead.

After pausing, Ye Jingcheng’s Sea of Consciousness was touched again!

The next moment, he sensed a slight ripple!

This clearly indicated that the Five Poison Bee larvae he contracted through Blood Contract had hatched.

Ye Jingcheng made his way to the Spirit Field.

He saw that numerous Five Poison Bees had crawled out of the hive.

These Five Poison Bees were only fingernail-sized, unable to fly yet, and were crawling.

The Spiritual Honey in the hive was insufficient for all the larvae to consume.

Ye Jingcheng took out some regular honey he’d bought, placing it in the hive, along with a great deal of Spirit Nourishing Pill powder.

At that moment, Ye Jingcheng discovered that one of the Five Poison Bees had activated the Treasure Book!

This Five Poison Bee was one of the three Bee Kings!

In the Treasure Book, a new Pill Formula appeared for this Bee King, but the evolution only happened once, with no further progression!

Evidently, this Five Poison Bee had the potential to evolve its bloodline just once!

The Spirit Shadow on the Treasure Book was unmistakable—a Six-Color Spirit Bee.

Yet even so, Ye Jingcheng was overjoyed.

This queen bee might grow into a Tier Two Queen Bee, potentially producing Six-Colored Five Poison Bees in the future!

Thinking about this, Ye Jingcheng’s expression softened.

However, it was unfortunate that the Purple Illusion Flower had turned into seeds and been harvested, waiting to be replanted come spring. This time, Ye Jingcheng collected three hundred seeds, enough to fill the entire Spirit Field.

By then, he’d have surplus Spiritual Honey, which was a great option for personal use, wine brewing, or tea blending!

Moreover, it’s said that drinking a lot of Five Poison Bee honey could build some poison immunity.

Of course, this was merely recorded in the Jade Talisman, as most cultivators couldn’t afford the luxury of consuming Five Poison Bee Spiritual Honey every day.

Once the larvae were settled, Ye Jingcheng headed to the three Spirit Tea Trees nearby.

He plucked the newly sprouted buds from the past few days.

Each of these buds was extremely tender, emanating an abundance of vibrant green Spiritual Marsh.

They also exuded a tea fragrance that calmed the body and mind.

Hence, every time it was tea-picking season, Ye Jingcheng’s mood improved.

Cultivation was inherently tedious, and Ye Jingcheng thought it was necessary to find some relief from it.

From dawn to dusk, picking and tasting tea, teasing small beasts in leisure, and absorbing the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth when busy, it was a shame there was no music or poetry.

Half a month passed again, all the larvae had begun to crawl out of the hive, and young seedlings gradually started to sprout from the Purple Illusion Flower in the Spirit Field!

Ye Jingcheng even noticed that the planted bamboo whips had sprouted a few tiny shoots.

These shoots, predictably, contained a good deal of Spiritual Energy!

Though, even when fully grown, in Ye Jingcheng’s view, they were only Lower Grade Tier One Spirit Plants, but meaningful nonetheless!

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng felt a slight fluctuation from the token in his Storage Bag.

He took out the token, seeing the family inner hall council convening again.

Ye Jingcheng’s gaze gradually steadied, even becoming serious.

He knew the family’s planned action was about to start.

The Taihang Market auction was about to begin, with Foundation Establishment Pill becoming the center of attention for everyone.

The market business would be unprecedentedly booming!

Various rare Spirit Materials would appear in the market.

Ye Jingcheng tidied his room and headed to the Treasure Tower!

Upon reaching the second floor, Ye Jingcheng discovered that many other cultivators had arrived!

Yet, many seats remained empty!

This time, over thirty people might attend the family council meeting!

This was nearly the entire Ye Family’s late-stage of Qi Cultivation!

Among them, Ye Jingcheng recognized quite a few: Ye Haiyun, Ye Haiyi, Ye Xingyu, Ye Xinghe, Ye Xingqun, Ye Jingyu, and Ye Jingyong!

Among them, his Uncle Ye Xinghe seemed to have gained a bit of weight again, though at this moment, his gaze was exceptionally stern.

Once almost everyone arrived, Ye Xingliu’s figure emerged from within the Treasure Pavilion!

His presence had grown more powerful, probably reaching the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, if Ye Jingcheng’s judgment was correct!
