Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Ye Jingteng’s Invitation

Lingyun Peak, before the rising dawn, the Red Flame Fox landed on the cliff, gazing at the furthest east, as a wisp of purple qi slowly drifted towards it.

It appeared exceptionally excited.

Compared to watching through that small window, it clearly preferred it when Ye Jingcheng brought it to watch the sunrise, to feel the rich energy of the morning’s fire.

“Caw caw!” Its fiery red fur seemed even more radiant.

It frolicked around Ye Jingcheng, but at this moment, Ye Jingcheng was slightly closing his eyes, not looking at it.

Ye Jingcheng’s entire body faintly flushed, his hands forming complex seals of the spirit technique.

“Go!” With a cold shout, the final spirit technique was unleashed, and around Ye Jingcheng, dozens of fiery red feathers coalesced.

These feathers were three inches long, each with a flame burning at the base and pure spiritual power at the tips!

Following Ye Jingcheng’s gesture, all these flames surged downwards from the cliff, igniting in a fierce blaze.

“Still resembles form but lacks spirit!” Ye Jingcheng shook his head.

This was naturally the fire attribute secret technique Falling Flame Fire Feather from the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture he was performing.

However, according to the secret technique, when fire feathers form, there should accompany the cry of a phoenix, with the feather patterns clearly visible, as if naturally formed.

But his patterns were not clear yet, let alone the phoenix cry.

And this was after a month since the Jade Qilin Snake had fallen asleep.

Yet Ye Jingcheng was not discouraged, as he faced many difficulties when initially learning Tier One Spells.

Now, with the liquid fire attribute spiritual power condensed by the Red Flame Fox, his mastery of the Falling Flame Fire Feather had shown significant progress.

Beside him, as if responding to Ye Jingcheng, the Red Flame Fox also gathered a sturdy fire feather.

It blasted it towards the cliff.

Ye Jingcheng was amused and perplexed, was the Red Flame Fox consoling him?

Unfortunately, what the Red Flame Fox condensed was merely a compressed Fireball Skill, forming feathers akin to small flaming knives.

This relied on its innate fire manipulation talent, not true fire feathers.

But Ye Jingcheng found something to learn from; if he mastered the fire feathers and compressed them further,

this secret technique could undoubtedly become a powerful one at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

It would compensate for his lack of magical artifacts.

During the Qi Cultivation Stage, his ability to fight above his level relied on numerous Tier One Top-Grade and Upper-Grade Artifacts, along with four spirit beasts.

Now reaching Foundation Establishment, it felt like starting anew.

Every Foundation Establishment Cultivator was not one to be trifled with, and their cunning could fill a book.

Not to mention their profound methods.

Without mastering a couple of secret techniques, Ye Jingcheng did not feel secure.

“Let’s go home!” Ye Jingcheng gestured, and the Red Flame Fox immediately followed him.

Surpassing one mountain peak, they returned to Lingyun Peak, back to their small courtyard.

Ye Jingcheng brewed a pot of spirit tea for himself, as recently, cultivating secret techniques.

Always left him mentally and physically exhausted, far more complex than studying pill formulas.

Ye Jingcheng always made it a habit to drink tea after cultivating a secret technique.

While drinking tea, he would mentally go over the various aspects of the secret technique.

At this moment, a Sound Transmission Talisman flew towards him.

“Jingcheng!” From a distance, Ye Jingli’s voice sounded.

Today Ye Jingli wore a clean, blue long robe, his hair neatly tied behind, his appearance much refreshed.

For an Artifact Refiner, this was extremely rare.

“Brother Liu, congratulations on breaking through again!” Ye Jingcheng observed that Ye Jingli was now at the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, which, while not fast, wasn’t slow either.

After all, Ye Jingli possessed Four Spirit Roots.

Even with the Communication Beast, he could only communicate with one beast at his level.

“Big Brother is here!” Ye Jingcheng thought Ye Jingli was celebrating, but was then surprised.

Ye Jingteng had come.

Ye Jingteng had broken through a year ago but had been consolidating his cultivation without returning to Lingyun Peak.

“Still going to the Stone Bamboo Forest,” Ye Jingli said.

“Big Brother says he has a chance to get the Foundation Establishment Pill!” Ye Jingli exclaimed excitedly.

“Brother Liu, do you remember what Uncle said? For us cultivators, remember to speak less!” Ye Jingcheng was a bit worried Ye Jingli might speak out of turn.

Given that Ye Jingteng did not possess the Beast Communication Pattern, Ye Jingli’s excitement was evident.

For other outsiders, Ye Jingli might keep the secret, but was concerned he would forget Ye Jingteng didn’t have it.

And the Foundation Establishment Pill was undoubtedly appealing, though now, it held average allure for Ye Jingcheng…

Ye Jingcheng packed some spirit tea, but didn’t bring any spiritual honey, as Ye Xingqun had some.

As they walked down the path, Ye Jingli kept glancing at Ye Jingcheng.

“Jingcheng, I always feel you’re different?”

“Brother Liu, in what way differently?” Ye Jingcheng chuckled softly.

Ye Jingli shook his head, saying no more, unable to articulate it.

Soon enough, they arrived at the Stone Bamboo Forest, the coolness of late summer’s bamboo forest was already at its peak.

The wind rustled through the bamboo leaves, creating a soothing rustling sound.

Ye Xingqun’s bamboo forest felt even more profound.

Ye Jingcheng suspected this was related to the family’s spirit vein transformation.

“Seventh Uncle, Big Brother!” Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingli called out almost simultaneously.

Today, Ye Jingteng wore a loose Daoist robe with the character “illusion” on it.

Indicating a cultivator of Taiyi Illusion Peak.

This Illusion Character Robe, even in the Taiyi Sect, could only be worn by Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

“Jingcheng, Jingli are here!” Ye Jingteng spoke first.

Ye Xingqun’s expression changed slightly but remained silent.

The two sat before the gazebo.

“Seventh Uncle, Big Brother, the spirit tea at my place has been growing exceptionally well lately, care to try?” Ye Jingcheng first took out the Spring Tea, then the most tender spirit tea, and began brewing immediately.

Ye Jingcheng even employed alchemical techniques to enhance the aroma of the spirit tea.

Even the two wine enthusiasts showed different glints in their eyes.

Previously, spirit tea seemed bland as water, tasteless to them.

Now, their expressions changed.

“Jingcheng, your spirit tea is truly remarkable, it seems in the Four Skills of Cultivation, there isn’t anything you cannot master!” Ye Xingqun remarked with admiration.

Ye Jingteng and Ye Jingli echoed in agreement.

Ye Jingcheng waved his hand.

“Seventh Uncle, Big Brother, you flatter me, the tea I grow is more about aroma than spirituality, to the unversed, it may seem like a warrior’s embroidery, a pointless endeavor!”

All three laughed out loud.

Then they all looked towards Ye Jingteng.

“Today’s main role is Big Brother, who succeeded in Foundation Establishment, stepping into the Gate of the Great Dao!”

“You’re jesting, Jingcheng, I owe it to everyone, and this time I’ve come to see if there are any in the family who wish to enter the sect, because Foundation Establishment Pills from the sect are easier to obtain.”

Ye Jingteng didn’t beat around the bush, much more straightforward than before, maybe feeling less need to be coy after reaching Foundation Establishment.

When speaking, he focused on Ye Jingcheng, noticing Ye Jingcheng was now at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer.
