Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Blue Jade Lotus and Wood Element Cub?

In the hall, Mo Hongyuan brewed a pot of Spirit Tea.

He poured a cup for Ye Xingliu and Ye Jingyu.

Then, he poured another cup for Jiang Jinghe.

Allowing the atmosphere in the room to slightly ease.

Mo Hongyuan clearly understood that dwelling on matters between the Li Family and Chen Family was pointless; instead, shifting the conversation to evil cultivators was more effective.

This time, they could only blame themselves for underestimating the Ye Family, and they had no choice but to accept it.

“Mad Corpse Fiends, you Chen and Li families must have gone to great lengths, even bringing in a wanted person by the Taiyi Sect!” Ye Xingliu snorted coldly.

Although, out of respect for Mo Hongyuan, he refrained from being as combative as earlier, his words were still uncompromising.

“There may be some misunderstandings here. The Mad Corpse Fiends kill without hesitation and show no regard. Could it be that the Ye Family actually possesses some treasure that needs careful guarding?” Xu Wenchang chimed in from the side.

Usually, the Chen and Li families would follow the lead of the Xu Family.

This time, the Xu Family had also hinted secretly, so now he naturally had to speak up, otherwise, he truly feared the Chen and Li families would side with the Mo Family.

After all, the Ye Family and Chu Family certainly wouldn’t align with the Mo Family anymore.

“Treasures, of course, we have Tier Two Spiritual Vein, Tier Two Spirit Beast Core, and even higher and better ones?”

“You want them, but do you deserve them?” Ye Xingliu couldn’t stand their pretentious talk and pointed at Li Muhe and Chen Xuanzhou, cursing them.

Of course, this cursing appeared directed at the Li and Chen families, but it implied much more.

However, when the several families pleaded, they could only remain silent with gloomy faces.

Though they mildly frowned at Ye Xingliu’s character and remarks, when he turned his gaze towards them, they quickly put on a friendly face.

But in Ye Xingliu’s eyes, a fierce gleam flashed.

“Plead? Don’t bother. Wait for the summons from the Taiyi Immortal Sect. Market Master Jiang, don’t say I didn’t follow the rules. The Clan Mountain was destroyed, and only a meeting with the Immortal Sect is fitting, otherwise it’s hard to face the ancestors!” Ye Xingliu paused briefly, then spoke straight-forwardly as his fiery temper flared up again.

Then he took Ye Jingyu and headed outward.

This time, the Ye Family had to teach several families a lesson, it was also a warning.

To tell them, if they want to test the Ye Family in the future, they better be prepared.

Thus, before anyone could propose compensation, Ye Xingliu spoke directly.

Giving them no room for negotiation.

For a moment, everyone in the room looked at each other in confusion.

Because Ye Xingliu was truly gone.

Everyone turned their gaze towards Jiang Jinghe.

“This is my duty as Market Master, you’d better bring out the mainstay of your Chen and Li families early on!” Jiang Jinghe shook his head.

At this moment, he wouldn’t clean up for these two families.

If you want to play dirty tricks without any true power, and it’s not the first time either.

Blood Heart Pill? Ore vein valley.

Now Jiang Jinghe even felt that perhaps the Ye Family has always opted for peace, causing several families to become more excessive.

So, he somewhat supported the Ye Family, but he wouldn’t say that, as he also left the hall.

In the hall, the four cups of Spirit Tea steamed without anyone drinking.

The usually fragrant tea fell plain to several noses.

Chu Xiyu also left the hall, and soon, only four remained in the hall.

“Prepare some treasure between your two families!” Mo Hongyuan spoke.

“It’s best to offer a gift that satisfies the Ye Family, don’t attempt guessing, just offer one we’d all desire!” Mo Hongyuan cast a glance at the two, adding a note.

As he spoke, he also felt helpless, as their Mo Family had participated too.

“Thank you, Patriarch Mo!” Chen Xuanzhou and Li Muhe rejoiced.

Now they have lost their top combat power, and if they are still suppressed by the Taiyi Sect, they would have no chance of survival.

Mo Hongyuan clearly intended to help them reconcile.

And Xu Wenchang nodded beside him.

“Rest assured, I’ll find some connections in the sect for you, but the treasure still needs to come from you, here, the most crucial point is the Ye Family!”

Chen Xuanzhou and Li Muhe nodded, and left the hall, leaving Xu Wenchang and Mo Hongyuan, both sighed at that moment.

“The Ye Family might be beyond our reach, according to my third uncle, two Late Stage of Foundation Establishment cultivators without causing a stir…” Mo Hongyuan spoke.

“Then, send the sect’s people to investigate?” Xu Wenchang tentatively asked.

The Taiyi Sect doesn’t strictly control the affiliate forces under them, but they particularly abhor families hiding peak combat power, especially Purple Mansion Ascendant and Golden Core True Master levels.

Mo Hongyuan shook his head, recalling their previous investigations, unable to hold back a sigh.

If it really was that simple, then it wouldn’t be the Ye Family.

…

In the Ye Family Shop, the shop doors were tightly closed as Ye Xingliu and Ye Jingyu entered the yard one after the other.

Ye Xinghe also stepped out.

After exchanging greetings with Ye Xingliu, he patted Ye Jingyu’s shoulder.

“Good boy, even more impressive than your uncle!” Ye Xinghe stated.

After speaking, he asked:

“How’s the family doing?”

“The losses are significant, but everything else is normal,” Ye Jingyu replied. However, the first few words were spoken more calmly, while the word “normal” was emphasized.

Ye Xinghe’s expression turned very grim and angry, but if one were to look into his eyes at that moment, they would find him rather composed.

He was also quite satisfied with Ye Jingyu.

“Father, should we continue?” Once they reached the inner courtyard, it was apparent that many cages of spirit beasts were empty due to the recent events in Jade Dragon Valley, leading to better sales of Ye Family’s spirit beasts.

After all, it was thanks to the spirit beasts that the Ye Family suffered the least losses.

However, the shop had been closed for a few days, and the spiritual food provided to the spirit beasts had been somewhat reduced, causing occasional low calls from the demon beasts.

“Yes, we can’t compromise this time, though whether it will go smoothly is uncertain!” Ye Xingliu responded as well.

He invested quite a lot in nurturing his son.

In the Ye Family, the patriarch doesn’t have to be the strongest, but must not lack cunning and must have enough fortitude.

And as expected, it turned out as foreseen.

That day, as the setting sun trickled through the gaps in the Spirit Bamboo Forest, casting countless dappled shadows.

A massive Tier Three Spiritual Ship descended from the sky, from which three people disembarked.

Ye Xingliu and Ye Jingyu recognized these three people.

One was Qianhe Ascendant of Taiyi Magic Peak, another was Xu Family patriarch, Xu Chunlin.

The third one was Mo Family patriarch, Mo Wenchen.

Their identities were easy to discern; Qianhe Ascendant always wore the magic robe of Taiyi Magic Peak, emblazoned with a pill furnace, symbolizing his status as a Pill Master.

Mo Family patriarch wore a spotless white Daoist robe, emitting a restrained aura, resembling an ordinary old man yet exuding an extraordinary presence in his every gesture.

As for Xu Family patriarch, he always donned the Evergreen Robe, appearing old but filled with vigor.

The spiritual ship ultimately landed before the Ye Family Shop.

Ye Jingyu finally understood what Ye Xingliu meant by saying whether it would be smooth or not.

Using Purple Mansion cultivators to pressure the Ye Family, though they won’t act directly against them, but it was clear that if things didn’t go smoothly, they would exert pressure as needed.

Moreover, the most critical point was that Jade Dragon Valley was guarded by Qianhe Ascendant; if Ye Xingliu didn’t show respect, it was likely that the situation at Jade Dragon Valley would be unfavorable for the Ye Family.

When Ye Xingliu invited the group into the inner courtyard of the Ye Family Shop and served spiritual tea in the hall, all etiquettes were duly followed.

Qianhe Ascendant finally asked:

“Ye Kid, is there some misunderstanding regarding your family’s situation?”

“Chen Xuanzhou of Chen Family and Li Yulan of Li Family actually sought out Xu Daoist, who guided them afterward and went into seclusion!”

“Here is their jade talisman. See, everything is normal, with no sign of injury at all!” Chen Xuanzhou, following closely behind, produced a jade talisman.

The jade talisman displayed a soul shadow, which was complete with no hint of damage.

This rendered Ye Xingliu silent.

The Ye Family couldn’t eliminate the person from the Li and Chen families, at least not now, yet it was unexpected that the other side utilized the soul talisman.

“Also, due to the invasion of evil cultivators into Ye Family’s Clan Mountain and the killing of two Foundation Establishment evil cultivators, the sect specially applied for treasures for the Ye Family!” Qianhe Ascendant then produced a spirit beast bag and a storage bag.

However, Ye Xingliu remained motionless, as if in contemplation.

“Ye Kid, why not take a look first?” Seeing Ye Xingliu remain silent, Qianhe Ascendant prompted.

Ye Xingliu nodded and looked at the spirit beast bag and storage bag.

Choosing to actively receive the spirit beast bag and storage bag was quite different from merely looking.

The differences here were vast.

Nonetheless, after glancing at the storage bag and spirit beast bag, Ye Xingliu couldn’t help but draw a breath.

He first looked into the storage bag, finding a Jade Lotus.

This Jade Lotus was blue, spirit jade-like in appearance, each petal translucent and exquisite, though only palm-sized and not highly emitting spiritual energy.

This Jade Lotus was no ordinary object, but rather a Tier Three Blue Jade Lotus, yielding Blue Jade Lotus Seeds, each of which equates to a Tier Three Elixir.

Regrettably, this Tier Three Blue Jade Lotus needs to be basin-sized to produce the lotus seeds.

Moreover, the Blue Jade Lotus grows extremely slowly, taking over ten years to grow a bit; to have it produce lotus seeds, significant consumption of spiritual objects would be required.

Yet despite this, it remained a treasure to such families.

After all, families pass down through generations; others cannot wait, but they can.

This was naturally applicable to the Ye Family too.

As long as the lotus seeds grow, if there happens to be a water attribute spirit beast just shy of a breakthrough, this Blue Jade Lotus can increase its chance of Foundation Establishment to Purple Mansion by ten percent.

That’s not much worse than a Tier Three Demon Pill.

Even for cultivators, refining the lotus seeds into elixirs provides substantial effects.

This first treasure was evidently valuable, leading him to look at the spirit beast bag.

Inside it was a tiny cub.

The cub was no bigger than a calf, with wings, back covered with colorful spots, quite beautiful in color.

Moreover, it had two horns on its head, its pale green eyes lively and intelligent, full of wisdom.

The cub appeared to be a newborn but already possessed spiritual force, reaching the peak of mid-stage First Tier, equivalent to the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation in cultivators’ terms.

Computing it out, it was no lesser than Ye Jingcheng’s Jade Qilin Snake.
