Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 161: Chapter 162: Red Flame Fox Breaks Through

The Earth Fire Room was brightly lit, the entire stone chamber filled with a red aura.

The red aura also fell upon Ye Xuefu’s face, which, beneath its rugged and plain surface, seemed to hold a turbulent wave of emotions.

Ye Jingcheng watched for a while and tried closing his eyes as well.

In the past three months, Ye Jingcheng had depicted the Pill Formula more than once.

But each time it was slightly off, with Ye Xuefu providing the final answer.

However, this time, because it was a Foundation Establishment Pill, Ye Xuefu couldn’t give him the answer.

He had to think with twelve parts of his mind.

At this moment, he also tried to immerse himself like Ye Xuefu.

He closed his eyes and meditated, but his six senses were not shut down. Under the high temperature, he felt the Earth Fire.

With the unveiling of the Jade Box, he sensed the aura of Spirit Medicine.

At this moment, it was as if countless pharmacological principles were combining and matching in his heart.

Fire Cloud Ginseng is a yang-oriented Spirit Medicine, needing mild Spirit Medicine as a buffer to harmonize…

Ye San Leaf acts as a single medicine, neither more nor less…

…

After a long time, Ye Jingcheng seemed to have gone through most of the Spirit Medicine in his mind.

And at this moment, Ye Xuefu opened his eyes.

His gaze was even more tranquil.

Such tranquility seemed as if everything was within his grasp.

He ignited the furnace, raised the fire!

It was done in a single breath.

Boom!

As the violent Earth Fire stirred, the Four-Phase Furnace showed four Spirit Shadows, each emitting a crisp sound.

Yet, it was not over; the carvings on the Pill Furnace had more patterns flashing, as if all the array patterns on the Pill Furnace were completely revealed.

At this moment, the four Spirit Shadows seemed to come to life.

Watching those Spirit Shadows dancing in the fire, Ye Xuefu began placing the Spirit Medicine one by one.

Unlike before, when he placed three to four kinds of Spirit Medicine inside, this time, he placed them in individually.

This undoubtedly reduced the difficulty for Ye Jingcheng to replicate the Pill Formula.

But it also extended the alchemy time.

The high temperature of the Earth Fire made his mouth dry, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng was completely immersed in it.

Each Spirit Medicine seemed to be being refined in his mind.

Melting, forming medicine.

The next moment, Ye Xuefu suddenly took out a Demon Pill.

This sight shocked Ye Jingcheng immensely.

Because in his memory, the three main ingredients for a Foundation Establishment Pill were the Celestial Spirit Fruit, Celestial Illusion Grass, and Blood Cloud Ganoderma.

These three pill materials were almost monopolized by major powers like the Taiyi Sect and Qinghe Sect.

Now, this Pill Formula was clearly a different Foundation Establishment Pill Formula.

But looking at that Demon Pill, it was clearly a Tier Three Demon Pill!

Using a Tier Three Demon Pill to refine a Tier Two Foundation Establishment Pill, he didn’t know if it was profitable.

Ye Jingcheng didn’t dare to think too much, he could only continue to focus and record the Pill Formula.

At this moment, no distractions were allowed.

Sweat also appeared on Ye Xuefu’s forehead. This time, using the Six-Part Alchemy Method, it obviously put a lot of pressure on him as well.

The Spirit Shadows on the Pill Furnace began to appear a bit ferocious, as if under the flames they underwent other changes.

And the Spirit Medicine in the Pill Furnace, under Ye Jingcheng’s perception, also exhibited some mutations.

At this time, Ye Xuefu also began to condense Pill Residue and control the furnace’s temperature.

Finally, the Pill Furnace started to stabilize, and the surging flames and frantic Spirit Shadows ceased to appear.

The Pill Furnace rotated smoothly.

And the elixir began the final step.

Form the Pill!

This step, compared to the previous two, was slower, steadier, with the flames warm and not angry, just right.

Time passed by second by second.

Accompanied by intense flames, Ye Jingcheng seemed to hear the cry of four beasts!

The next moment, the lid of the Pill Furnace shot up!

Five exceedingly round golden Pills flew out, landing in the five Pill Bottles Ye Xuefu had prepared.

And inside the Pill Furnace, there was still a half-finished Foundation Establishment Pill, obviously one that failed.

In an instant, the flames dimmed.

The five Pill Bottles simultaneously emitted a dazzling Spiritual Aura.

Ye Xuefu took out another Pill Bottle, storing the incomplete Foundation Establishment Pill, and finally handed it along with another perfect Foundation Establishment Pill to Ye Jingcheng. After handing them over, he began to carefully clean and wipe the Pill Furnace.

This time, he wiped with extra care and attention.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng also repeatedly examined the Pill Residue inside the Pill Furnace.

This partitioned alchemy method undoubtedly increased the success rate but reduced the number of Pills produced. The fact that five Pills were produced this time was enough to show Ye Xuefu’s deep skill.

Moreover, there must be mysteries within this Pill Residue as well.

Ye Jingcheng saw Ye Xuefu finish cleaning and putting away the Pill Furnace, then withdrew his gaze.

Ye Xuefu looked at Ye Jingcheng, nodded, filled with encouragement, and without saying more words, exited the Earth Fire Room.

There was also fatigue in his eyes.

Refining this batch of Foundation Establishment Pills was no easy task.

Ye Jingcheng didn’t dare to delay, and immediately recorded the Foundation Establishment Pill into a Jade Talisman.

This Jade Talisman, although it couldn’t be shared, could still be viewed and studied by himself.

After carefully summarizing the Pill Formula, he found that the three main ingredients for this Foundation Establishment Pill had changed.

However, compared to the original Pill Formula, this one was even more complex.

No wonder it couldn’t be shared with others, even within the Ye Family.

Finished researching the Pill Formula, Ye Jingcheng took out the Jade Bottle and began comparing the two Foundation Establishment Pills.

The color of the Foundation Establishment Pill was extremely golden, full and complete, with abundant Spiritual Energy. Once the bottle stopper was removed, the vast Spiritual Energy could be felt, like the warm breeze of spring’s revival.

Invigorating one’s spirit.

After researching like this for another half a day, Ye Jingcheng cautiously put away the Jade Talisman.

He wasn’t sure if he could refine it successfully, and at the moment, couldn’t test it, awaiting the opportunity to try it.

But thinking about how the trial cost would require a Tier Three Demon Pill, Ye Jingcheng sighed lightly again.

Looking at the date change carved on the outer wall, three days had passed.

He took some Spring Tea for himself, slowly brewing it.

With the fragrance of tea masking it, his mood began to become peaceful.

No matter the Pill Formula, at least now he had a Foundation Establishment Pill, and he had to start preparing for Foundation Establishment.

On the contrary, he didn’t need to care about the Pill Formula now.

The Ye Family had someone who could refine it, and that was enough.

The interlude with the Foundation Establishment Pill did not bring changes to the lives of a few people in the Ye Family.

The same beast hunting at dusk, practicing Qi and Blood Arts within the Qi Blood Sect by day, and alchemy by night.

A month later, the first to announce a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment was Ye Xingyu.

He was older in age and had to make it before sixty.

Now it was already at the critical point.

And Ye Jingcheng continued hunting beasts, yet the Cyan Jade Toad no longer emerged from the Cyan Jade Pool to forage, so he went elsewhere, hunting the solitary Black Wood Wolves.

In the Qi Blood Sect, he was no longer persisting just for a quarter of an hour. After all, a Puppet is just a Puppet, and now he could simultaneously contend with four Wooden Spirit Puppets.

Even in positioning, he was no longer affected by the Illusion Array.

As for Spiritual Power, with the aid of Spiritual Honey and Spirit Pills, his Spiritual Power, though not increasing, became more refined and condensed.

Three more months passed, and Ye Jingcheng had been at Sha Yun Mountain for nearly a year.

That day, the Crimson Sun set later than usual, the forest temperatures becoming even more sweltering.

Ye Jingcheng packed up his spoils and walked on the path back to Sha Yun Mountain.

Yet he felt an unusual fluctuation within his Divine Soul!

The Red Flame Fox had broken through!
