Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 266: Chapter 260: Four Foxes

The rich firelight completely occupied the entire room.

The originally red lacquer wood was now illuminated even brighter by the firelight, even the irregular patterns on the lacquer wood were exceptionally clear.

Ye Jingcheng also stared at the massive fireball in front of him.

With hope in his eyes, he threw out several Array Banners, the temperature of the flame was extremely high, without isolating it with an array, the house would burn down.

Fortunately, Ye Jingcheng, as an Alchemy Master, had already prepared multiple arrays for occasions like this.

Even if one couldn’t hold, there would be a second.

However, at this moment, he always felt as if he were refining pills, the house being the Pill Furnace, and he himself the Spirit Pill.

This feeling came without reason but added to his pondering.

These thoughts were quite scattered, yet Ye Jingcheng still took out a Jade Talisman and recorded his current state.

Perhaps this alchemical inspiration might not have much impact sometimes, but he believed, as long as he recorded every moment’s feeling, when accumulated enough, it would be his time for transformation and progress.

It wasn’t long before, accompanied by sharp cries.

The massive fireball dissipated, revealing a crimson Three-tailed Fire Fox raising its neck, singing loudly in excitement.

Its limbs were more slender, its fur smoother like fire, as if fluttering with the breeze.

The three thick flaming tails swayed continuously in the air, and in its blue eyes, it seemed a flame danced.

And its aura was clearly Mid-stage Second Tier, equivalent to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment for a cultivator.

“Lyli!” The Red Flame Fox cried out again, its three tails rhythmically swaying once more.

In the next moment, three phantoms manifested, and the entire room contained four identical Red Flame Foxes.

Obviously, its tail’s duplicative illusion ability had increased again.

Even the previous phantoms were duplicated, estimating future illusions to multiply in numbers.

Moreover, the Red Flame Fox acted without Ye Jingcheng’s cue, actively displaying its newly mastered abilities.

Just as Ye Jingcheng thought that was all, four tails infused four fire chains, weaving into a massive fireball in the air.

This fireball continued to expand, reaching over seven-foot in diameter in a blink, still growing, showing no signs of stopping.

“Enough, enough!” Ye Jingcheng waved repeatedly, this gigantic fireball was a formidable deterrent, these three phantoms evidently possessed more than just Blinding Technique.

They could together perform Condensing Spirit.

Generally, if a Red Flame Fox wanted to release a fireball over a yard’s width, it would need ten breaths of time to gather, yet four Red Flame Foxes together needed less than three breaths.

One should know, such short span might be longer than a cultivator’s Finger Techniques and spell casting.

Its terrifying attack power, Ye Jingcheng dared not imagine.

The Red Flame Fox cried lyli, its three tails slowly calming from their fluttering state, and the three phantoms instantly vanished, while the massive fireball gradually scattered into Fire Attribute Spiritual Power, spreading outwards.

Yet even so, the Spiritual Power in the room remained chaotic.

As the Red Flame Fox’s body suddenly shrank again, transforming into a three-foot-long little fox, the same size as when Ye Jingcheng first encountered the Red Flame Fox.

Clearly, after advancing, it could even control its size.

Ye Jingcheng stepped forward, lightly stroked its head, and took out two Fire Heart Pills, providing it with a good amount of Treasure Light.

After that was done, Ye Jingcheng began introspecting, seeing the Beast Communication Pattern continuously absorbing pure Fire Attribute Spiritual Energy.

As this Spiritual Energy arrived, Ye Jingcheng felt it would be extremely easy to use Fire Attribute Secret Techniques.

The previously elusive Falling Flame Fire Feather, at this moment, seemed to become more clear to him.

However, Ye Jingcheng didn’t attempt this, instead, he sat cross-legged and started cultivating.

Now, he felt the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment was just around the corner.

However, he didn’t immediately start secluding himself in cultivation.

Instead, he cultivated for a while, feigned weakness, went to the shop, communicated slightly with Ye Xingyi, and even glanced at Chu Yanqing, who wanted to approach for a conversation, but Ye Jingcheng left first.

He didn’t loudly declare his alchemical failure, for that would be too deliberate; on the contrary, showing a weak side, and communicating with Ye Xingyi to retrieve a new Storage Bag for Spirit Medicine.

Thus, even if they were skeptical, they would have to believe.

In the following days, Ye Jingcheng did not entirely stay in seclusion but cultivated for a while and started refining pills.

Other than constantly feeling the Four Elements Balance was still lacking, he wanted to take advantage of these few days to refine more Spirit Pills.

In discussions with Ye Xingyi, he also learned that the Xu Family recently gained an Upper Grade Tier Two Alchemist, completely overshadowing the Ye Family in the area of Tier Two Spirit Pills.

Now, the Ye Family couldn’t even issue the Prohibition Order.

After all, to the public, Ye Jingcheng was merely a Middle-grade Tier Two Alchemist.

He could only refine two types of Middle-grade Tier Two Spirit Pills.

Too limited compared to Xu Qingyu from the Xu Family.

During this period of study, Ye Jingcheng was most apprehensive about the Mo Family, which privately brewed Spirit Wine.

According to Chen Ya, that Spirit Wine had a fragrance that wasn’t inferior.

Moreover, the Mo Family’s Array Shop, though wavering, even with the sect’s support, began declining.

Mo Hongyuan had not appeared even once.

This made Ye Jingcheng more anxious.

The elders of the Ye Family originally said it would take five years for suspicions to arise.

But if Mo Hongyuan suspected Mo Wenchen, the Purple Mansion Cultivator, fled there, or suspected that Purple Mansion Cultivator would proactively report news.

It might only take two years!

The opposite party would then be alerted.

Ye Jingcheng’s heart tightened.

Of course, he didn’t act immediately; brewing in the Flat Area seemed more like tempting the Ye Family to react.

If the Mo Family firmly believed it was the Ye Family, they would’ve presented Jade Wave Wine or Tai Cang Wine long ago.

Ye Jingcheng understood he needed to seize time more tightly.

While refining Spirit Pills, Ye Jingcheng discovered that in these two months, only one essential ingredient for Golden Scale Pill and Jade Qilin Pill’s Tier Two Advancement Pill Main Pill was missing.

But to Ye Jingcheng, he currently had no mind to find those essential ingredients.

Breaking through to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment was paramount.

Thus half a month passed, accompanied by a burst of Spiritual Light, the Three-Colored Cloud Deer also broke through a small tier.

Reached Peak of Late Stage Tier One, equivalent to the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer for cultivators.

At this point, Ye Jingcheng did not intend to hold back anymore.

He chose another night, under the guise of refining pills, went into seclusion for Communication with the Beast.

Compared to Communication Beast Wood Demon, Communication Beast Three-Colored Cloud Deer was smoother this time.

The obtained Wood Attribute Spiritual Power unsurprisingly enhanced the speed of Wood Vine Skill and improved Spiritual Power’s catalysis of certain special Spirit Plants.

Even though, Ye Jingcheng did not come out of seclusion but hung a sign at the door, signaling closed-door breakthrough.
