Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 259: Chapter 253: Advancement Opportunity

Under the crimson glow, the dark peach wood resin also emitted a bright colorful light.

This peach gum was different from ordinary peach wood resin; each one was crystal clear and had a decent hardness, like tiny crystals stacked together.

Ye Jingcheng looked at the peach wood, which had grown much taller, with a smile on his face, although it still had no leaves on it.

But Ye Jingcheng understood that this was the wood demon maintaining its demon power, thereby enhancing its chance of advancement.

After the craze of the past few days, the sale of spirit pills at the Chu Ye Pavilion has now fallen into a stable development process.

The booth now hardly attracts any cultivators, mainly relying on Chen Ya and his few guides who bring a few people over every few days.

And among the Foundation Establishment cultivators, a few regularly came to purchase Fire Heart Pills and Purple Wood Pills, bringing a few friends along, usually having tea with Ye Jingcheng and buying pills, which was quite enjoyable.

The only distressing thing was that in just a few short days, Ye Jingcheng sold almost all the spirit pills he brought.

Especially the Red Ganoderma Pills and Qi Replenishing Pills, which he and Ye Xingyi have already started refining again.

In addition, the Spirit Nourishing Pills and Spirit Cultivation Pills are also about to be sold out, requiring new batches to be refined.

The consequence of this was that in a corner of his storage ring, over thirty thousand spirit stones lay quietly in a wooden box made of Evergreen Wood.

Of these, forty percent needed to be sent back to the clan, thirty percent was kept for shop rent and offerings, the remaining twenty percent was his, and ten percent was divided between Ye Jingyu and Ye Xingyi.

The reason the clan took such a large portion was that most of the spirit pills were taken from the clan’s warehouse, with only Tier Two spirit pills being mostly refined by Ye Jingcheng.

But in just three or four days, Ye Jingcheng had acquired seven or eight thousand spirit stones, which was definitely a considerable gain.

Moreover, if such a high yield could be maintained, not to mention four Tier Two demon beasts, it wouldn’t matter even if he raised two more.

It’s just that for such a large gain in the future, he might have to wait for the grand auction three years later.

The harvest from that event would be even greater.

Ye Jingcheng also gradually understood why the Chu Family and the clan wanted to open shops here.

The profit difference was simply enormous.

If Ye Jingcheng remembered correctly, more than ten years ago, the clan’s shop income in Taihang Market was less than a fifth of here, and even less than half compared to usual.

Even if the Ye Family had opened a restaurant and pill workshop in Taihang Market, the results would be far less impressive than here.

Moreover, that was because the Ye Family’s spirit beast business had no competition; otherwise, there would be several discounts.

Now everything had finally calmed down, and Ye Jingcheng could finally enjoy some tea in the courtyard.

Nonetheless, the slow business was not a bad thing for the few of them, as they still needed to cultivate, and Ye Xingyi had to prepare for the Foundation Establishment Pill auction in three years and for foundation establishment itself.

His Foundation Establishment would likely take place in the market.

After all, the spiritual energy here was incredibly abundant, and he could rent a cave mansion in the eastern city as long as he had enough spirit stones; he could even rent a Tier Three Spirit Vein.

And this leasing business was directly controlled by the Taiyi Sect, making it a cost-free trade and the most profitable in terms of earning spirit stones.

Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help feeling envious; if the Ye Family had such a large area of spirit vein leasing, there would be no worry of lacking spirit stones at that time.

But he quickly shook his head, realizing such thoughts should not be entertained.

Currently, the powerful forces capable of leasing Spirit Mountain all had Nascent Soul True Monarchs, while the Ye Family, even considering their hidden strength, lagged far behind.

With the shops settled, the arrangements for the Ye Family Shop also changed.

Now, the sales of treasures on the second floor were watched over by Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xingyi in turns.

On the first floor, Ye Jinhao and Ye Jingyu took turns keeping things in check, and Ye Jingyun would help after finishing his pill refining if he had time.

In this market, there was no need to worry about being robbed.

After all, the Taiyi Sect was behind them.

Moreover, in the market, there were Golden Core True Masters stationed, and unless one went mad during cultivation, incidents of snatching spirit stones or treasures were rare.

It happened to be Ye Xingyi’s turn to watch the second-floor shop today, while Ye Jingcheng settled at the stone table under the tree.

He was sipping Yunfu Tea; although the tea didn’t boost his Wood Phase Spiritual Power much, it still helped with his breakthrough.

Additionally, he’d been observing the wood demon’s growth in recent days.

After watering with advancement spirit liquid, Ye Jingcheng discovered the peach wood body of the wood demon contained a rich spiritual power, different from an ordinary cultivator’s spiritual power, containing vibrant vitality.

This discovery made Ye Jingcheng more assured, as it seemed the wood demon’s direction of advancement was indeed toward the longevity spirit peach.

In the future, not only the clan’s gains, but even for himself, he wouldn’t have to worry about not finding advancement pills or his spirit beasts failing to break through, thereby delaying his lifespan.

The benefits of longevity would allow him to cultivate more steadily.

And to prevent the peach wood from being exposed, Ye Jingcheng specially covered it with a more concealing array.

He carefully selected twenty Five Poison Bees to guard the peach wood; if any creature approached, these rather intelligent bees would protect it.

Besides the peach wood, Ye Jingcheng also released the Golden Scale Beast and Three-Colored Cloud Deer.

For spirit beasts he intended to nurture, they couldn’t be kept in the Spirit Beast Bag all the time; the spirit beasts wouldn’t be willing, and it would diminish their ferocity.

However, Ye Jingcheng didn’t release the Jade Qilin Snake, partly because it was related to the Jade Dragon Valley matter, and secondly, the snake didn’t mind staying in the Spirit Beast Bag, as long as Ye Jingcheng fed it with spiritual food.

The Three-Colored Cloud Deer was another matter; the Lingyun Peak wasn’t here, and there was no morning dew for it to absorb.

Ye Jingcheng could only provide it with plants and some spirit beast flesh and blood for consumption.

After absorbing spiritual medicine and a large amount of beast meat essence, the Three-Colored Cloud Deer showed signs of another breakthrough.

This made Ye Jingcheng very happy.

The wood demon’s advancement, the Three-Colored Cloud Deer’s breakthrough, along with the approaching breakthrough of the Red Flame Fox.

Ye Jingcheng felt that his own breakthrough to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment wouldn’t take much longer.

What he needed to do now was to thoroughly research the pill formula for the Tier Two Red Flame Pill.

And continue applying advancement spirit liquid to the peach wood body of the wood demon.

After ensuring the array was isolated, confirming no one could see, he headed toward the courtyard.

He was ready to pick up some more spirit medicine to practice.

Once his experimenting reached a certain level of proficiency, he could refine the Tier Two Red Flame Pill.

Just then, the garden gate opened.

A cultivator took the lead, stepping out.

“Jingcheng, guess who’s here?” Ye Jingcheng was also taken aback.

But upon seeing the visitor, he was somewhat surprised.

It was none other than Ye Xingyi, bringing Ye Jingteng.

The day after he broke through to Foundation Establishment, his big brother returned to announce seclusion, leaving him puzzled.

After all, he had just broken through to Foundation Establishment not long before.

Now seeing him here, he naturally felt surprised.

“Big Brother, long time no see, your cultivation seems to have progressed quite a bit!” Ye Jingcheng initiated the Supreme Turtle Concealing Breath Technique to lower his aura and went over to greet him.
