Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 159: Chapter 160: Exchanging for the Inner Core

The afterglow of the sunset spilled over the earth, tinting the treetops and leaves in the sky gold.

In the sky, numerous flames clouds burned.

These flames clouds seemed to be burning out entirely, becoming more gentle.

At the foot of Sha Yun Mountain, the gravel appeared even more golden.

Ye Jingcheng and his group anxiously waited.

The previous spot was unsuitable for a long stay, but Sha Yun Mountain was different; this was familiar terrain for them, where the Black Armored Scorpions exert greater power and can assist in the array with spirit veins.

After a long time, above the sunset, a silhouette of a White Crane appeared.

The silhouette grew larger until finally, Ye Xueliang leaped down from Mei Yuhe’s back.

Moreover, Ye Xueliang brought out a long pill bottle.

Mei Yuhe flapped its wings, and without waiting for Ye Xueliang to open the pill bottle, eagerly pecked the stopper off, swallowed the medicine inside in one gulp.

Letting out cheerful cries.

Ye Xueliang took out the Spirit Beast Bag and pocketed it.

“Let’s discuss downstairs!” Ye Xuefu pressed the array, immediately activating the formation at Sha Yun Mountain, while Ye Xueliang tapped the Spirit Beast Bag, so countless Black Armored Scorpions scurried into the many holes and thickets of Sha Yun Mountain.

The group descended once more into the underground hall.

Under the gentle glow of the Moonlight Stone, smiles spread across everyone’s face.

This time not only had they slain a Tier Two late stage Golden-eyed Crow, but also captured its offspring, as for the Spirit Medicine the Golden-eyed Crow was guarding, they weren’t sure.

But presumably, it won’t be lacking.

“Everyone performed well this time, each gets five hundred Contribution Points!”

“Additionally, the Tier One late stage demon beasts and materials previously slain are yours!”

“The intel was provided by Ye Jingyu, an extra two hundred Contribution Points!”

…

Ye Xuefu quickly distributed the Contribution Points.

These Contribution Points accounted for both the flesh and the physical materials. Of course, the exchange Contribution Points were just 70% of their total value.

The remaining 30% belong to the clan.

But even so, each could net several hundred Contribution Points.

Everyone was satisfied as they had merely waited a few days there, without many actual opportunities to fight.

Since the initial demon beasts were slain by Ye Xueliang, and later, even if they participated, their contributions were limited.

After all, they were just some Qi Cultivation Cultivators, not causing much damage.

To earn these Contribution Points was enough to satisfy them.

After nearly a month, Ye Jingcheng’s Contribution Points have reached eighteen thousand now.

Indeed, extremely wealthy.

His eyes gleamed at the table, however, displaying rare impatience.

“By the way, you can all exchange Spirit Beast Eggs and flesh along with inner cores!” Seeing Ye Jingcheng’s expression, Ye Xuefu chuckled softly, continuing to explain the exchange rules.

“Golden-eyed Crow flesh plus inner core require seven thousand Contribution Points!”

“Golden-eyed Crow Spirit Egg requires three thousand Contribution Points!”

“Ninth Ancestor, I want to exchange for the Golden-eyed Crow’s flesh and inner core!” Ye Jingcheng immediately said.

Although the Contribution Points are high, Ye Jingcheng understood that this was quite a bargain; otherwise, it would cost seven to eight thousand Spirit Stones for a Tier Two high-grade inner core alone, plus the flesh could be worth tens of thousands more.

Of course, that doesn’t account for the golden eyes and spirit feathers and wings of the Golden-eyed Crow.

Otherwise, it’s worth even more. It’s known that golden eyes can be crafted into Jade Pendant or pupil-type Magical Artifacts, while Spirit Feather Crane wings can be crafted into flying-type Magical Artifacts.

Hence, many Foundation Establishment Cultivators enjoy venturing into the Taihang Mountain Range to hunt demon beasts with these strong attribute divine techniques.

Among them, demon beast inner cores not only help Spirit Beasts in advancement but can be used to refine rare Spirit Pills.

Also, if the attributes match, cultivators may use them as Spirit Stones to absorb Spiritual Energy within.

Yet rarely do cultivators do so.

“Sure!” Ye Xuefu nodded and took out the Storage Bag, directly slicing off the golden eyes and a pair of wings from the Golden-eyed Crow, also carefully plucking several Lifebound Crow Feathers.

Finally, handing them alongside the inner core to Ye Jingcheng.

He also took Ye Jingcheng’s Clan Token.

Deducting seven thousand Contribution Points from it.

Ye Jingcheng grasped the Storage Bag, beaming with joy.

Owning the Golden-eyed Crow, hope for the Red Flame Fox’s advancement emerged.

He would no longer need to head to the Communication Beast Clan’s Tier Two Spirit Beast to increase Foundation Establishment chances.

It’s important to realize that the Communication Beast Clan’s Tier Two Spirit Beast costs a substantial amount of Contribution Points as well.

“Uncle Nine, I also wish to exchange for that Golden-eyed Crow Spirit Egg!” Ye Xingyu spoke out.

He was an Artifact Refiner, witnessing Ye Jingcheng’s rapid progress in Alchemy, thanks to the Red Flame Fox.

He wished for a Lifebound Spirit Beast too.

Moreover, the Golden-eyed Crow can advance to Tier Two, suitable for long-term cultivation, even when he reaches Foundation Establishment, the Golden-eyed Crow wouldn’t be outdated or a burden.

“Sure!” Ye Xuefu nodded, handing the Spirit Beast Bag to Ye Xingyu.

Also taking his Clan Token and deducting three thousand Contribution Points.

At that moment, Ye Xingyu grimaced with a trace of distress.

For the three of them, Contribution Points were always insufficient and they had to continue hunting.

To keep earning Contribution Points.

Otherwise, they won’t even afford exchanging Foundation Establishment Pills or Communication Beast Spirit Beasts.

Ye Xingyu could barely wait to peek inside the Spirit Beast Bag.

His face turned to deep delight.

Once Ye Xueliang and Ye Xuefu left, Ye Xingyu looked at Ye Jingcheng:

“Jingcheng, may need to procure some Spirit Pills from you soon!”

“Fifteenth Uncle, anytime!” Ye Jingcheng nodded, generously agreeing.

Yet, Ye Xingyu’s direct request was a bit surprising to him.

His Spirit Pills indeed were decent because he infused them with Treasure Light to enhance conversion rates.

Others weren’t aware of this and merely thought Ye Jingcheng’s pills crafted with the Red Flame Fox were superior.

Beyond that, Ye Jingcheng thought of his Brother Liu, Ye Jingli.

Also an Artifact Refiner, perhaps conversing often with Ye Xingyu.

Ye Jingcheng took leave of Ye Xingyu, greeting Ye Jingyu.

And returned to his room.

Upon return, Ye Jingcheng swiftly opened the array of the stone chamber, preventing disturbances from outside.

The Red Flame Fox was released, its blue Spiritual Eyes unusually radiant, seemingly sensing something, chirping softly then approaching Ye Jingcheng, licking his palm.

“How clever you are, but this time, it’s also up to fate, or it will be harder next!” Ye Jingcheng gently stroked the fur on the Red Flame Fox’s back.

Next, he first took out two Red Ganoderma Pills, followed by two Spirit Cultivation Pills.

Naturally, he won’t immediately let the Red Flame Fox consume the demon pill and Golden-eyed Crow spirit beast meat.

After some improvement, it’s better to consume them!

Furthermore, during this period, even without granting other spirit beasts Treasure Light, he would completely support the advancement of the Red Flame Fox.

The Red Flame Fox chirped twice, then nodded its head!
