Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 160: Chapter 161: Refining the Foundation Establishment Pill

Inside the stone chamber, the Moonlight Stone cast a faint glow, reflecting a serene chill off the stone walls.

Array banners fell one after another, and in the next moment, a flash of red light passed through, activating one spirit pattern after another within the stone chamber.

It was as if the Fire Vein was being drawn.

They converged together, forming a crimson Pentagram Spirit Seal.

Upon the spirit seal, a thin layer of faint red Spiritual Mist arose.

The Red Flame Fox looked on excitedly, its blue eyes sparked with curiosity.

Next to it, Ye Jingcheng also reached out to feel the Fire Phase Spiritual Energy, a delighted expression on his face, then respectfully looked toward Ye Xuefu:

“Thank you, Ninth Ancestor!” Ye Jingcheng spoke.

This array, a Fire Attribute Spirit Gathering Array, was more specialized than an ordinary Spirit Gathering Array, greatly beneficial to cultivators and demon beasts of a single attribute.

“This is the array used when the Cyan Ox advanced. You can now focus on refining pills!” Ye Xuefu remarked.

To this, Ye Jingcheng gave an embarrassed smile; indeed, he hadn’t been in state with the melted medicine these days, underperforming compared to when using the Yun Furnace.

Now the Red Flame Fox had reached new heights.

Finally, it could consume the Inner Core and flesh of the Golden-eyed Crow.

“However, remember, even beasts of the same root and source cannot fully absorb the power within the Demon Pill, especially since this Demon Pill is not in its prime!” Ye Xuefu reminded and then left the stone chamber.

Ye Jingcheng quickly poured some tea, brewing a pot of Spring Tea for Ye Xuefu, and after the latter had gone a distance, he returned to the stone chamber.

Indeed, typically, even demon beasts cannot completely absorb a Demon Pill.

But with Treasure Light, his case was different.

Ye Jingcheng called the Red Flame Fox to his side, then placed his hand on its back, running through its soft crimson fur, infusing it with Treasure Light.

This time, Ye Jingcheng thoroughly infused an entire page before stopping.

The Red Flame Fox’s blue eyes narrowed from their original wide-eyed state, and much of its tension dissipated.

If not for knowing even greater benefits awaited, it might have already lain down.

It trilled lightly, as if informing Ye Jingcheng that it was ready.

Ye Jingcheng then took out the Golden-eyed Crow’s inner core and body, placing them at the very center of the Fire Attribute Spirit Gathering Array.

The Red Flame Fox first swallowed the inner core in one gulp and then started devouring the Golden-eyed Crow’s flesh.

After consuming everything, its entire body seemed enveloped in flame.

Yet upon closer inspection, one would realize that it was merely the crimson fur reflecting a great deal of crimson Spiritual Light.

This light was so intense, resembling a burgeoning blaze.

Seeing that the Red Flame Fox had no issues, Ye Jingcheng activated the array and then exited the room.

The Red Flame Fox should not be disturbed at this time.

For demon beasts, typically, when advancing to a new level, they would kill or drive out other beasts in their territory before breaking through.

However, with Ye Jingcheng, the Red Flame Fox didn’t need to do that.

Ye Jingcheng took out the remaining Spring Tea, sipping it bit by bit, feeling the tea’s essence roll down his throat, and his mood lightened considerably.

While feeling content, Ye Jingcheng also took out a Jade Talisman to check which demon beasts could be hunted today.

After exchanging for the Golden-eyed Crow’s inner core, he now had only eleven thousand Contribution Points left, lacking four thousand to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill, although he could borrow.

But it’s always better to gather the points.

Additionally, gathering more Spirit Beast flesh would better support the breakthroughs of the Jade Qilin Snake and Golden Scale Beast.

…

A silent valley, serene and spotless under the moonlight, contained a quiet and tranquil pool.

Several thumb-sized Five Poison Bees buzzed around in the air.

Suddenly, with a couple of croaks.

A massive long tongue darted from the pool, transforming into a spear-like shape, ensnaring one Five Poison Bee.

Instantly, the Five Poison Bee buzzed frantically, its tail stinger incessantly jabbing the long tongue.

The tongue seemed impervious, unaffected by the poison needles.

Yet at that moment, a cyan beam of light emitted, holding the tongue in place momentarily, while Cyan Wood Vine tendrils wrapped it tightly.

Revealing a Cyan Jade Toad the size of a calf beneath the pool.

The Jade Toad’s eyes bulged wide, apparently unprepared for such a creature awaiting it.

It wanted to escape, but its long tongue was its sharpest weapon.

Now being restrained, it couldn’t move at all.

It furiously stirred the pool water, creating ripples.

At the same time, a Jade Qilin Snake appeared, slicing down with the Jade Qilin Tail Saber, splitting the Jade Toad in half along with the water.

This series of magical actions happened within moments, evidently well-practiced beforehand.

The Jade Ring Rat and Golden Scale Beast beside them seemed unnecessary.

Ye Jingcheng skillfully collected the Cyan Jade Toad.

Gathered a few Five Poison Bees and moved toward the distant forest.

Quickly, he traversed the forest, reaching Sha Yun Mountain.

Upon arrival, Ye Jingcheng halted, spotting a beehive among the bushes, recently set up by him.

Many Spirit Flowers were blooming within the Taihang Mountain Range, prompting Ye Jingcheng to send the Five Poison Bees to search for Poison Flowers.

The only downside was that in the family’s valley behind Sha Yun Mountain, where only Spirit Flowers grew, there were no Poison Flowers.

This led to a notable reduction in the number of Five Poison Bees.

And it was precisely the decline in these bees that led Ye Jingcheng to discover the Cyan Jade Pool.

Beneath the pool were numerous Cyan Jade Toads.

These toads were Late Stage Tier One, formidable underwater, but outside, they relied solely on their long tongues.

And coincidentally, the toad’s hide was prime material for Daoist Robes, impervious to water and fire, with excellent defense, warmth in winter, and coolness in summer, capable of forming a Water Shield.

One Cyan Jade Toad’s Spirit Materials can fetch nearly two hundred Contribution Points.

No small benefit, given that its flesh can enhance the Jade Qilin Snake’s cultivation.

A win-win situation.

“Jingcheng, have you made another catch?” Ye Jingcheng entered the underground hall, greeted by Ye Xingyu and Ye Jingyu.

With most of the Tier One Mid to Late Stage demon beasts around Sha Yun Mountain hunted down, scarcely any suitable prey remained.

Chances were scarce, their efforts unrewarded for several days.

They ended up staying in the Qi Blood Sect, cultivating their qi and blood.

Preparing for Foundation Establishment.

“Just sheer luck!” Ye Jingcheng smiled.

In the past two months, thanks to the Five Poison Bees, he has indeed reaped more than the others.

With the Cyan Jade Toad’s materials, he could gather about sixteen thousand Contribution Points.

Enough for one Foundation Establishment Pill.

And just then, Ye Xueliang appeared from the side.

He took a Storage Bag and headed toward Ye Xuefu’s Alchemy Room.

“Jingcheng, join me, the others should prepare!” Ye Xueliang, his expression more relaxed, spoke.

His words tinged with joy.

“Is it…” The three of them couldn’t help but rejoice.

“All the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill are gathered, Jingcheng, pay close attention!” Ye Xueliang evidently knew something, speaking again.

Ye Jingcheng nodded and followed Ye Xueliang into the Earth Fire Room, where Ye Xuefu was already present, resting with eyes slightly closed.

This rest, in particular, seemed extraordinarily long!
