Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 268: Chapter 262: Family Gift

In the West Main Room, there was still an Eight Immortals Table in the center, with an incense burner placed on it.

This incense burner usually burned a common kind of sandalwood, and it was only lit for guests or during important meetings.

When lit for guests, it added some chips while enhancing the atmosphere.

During important meetings, the sandalwood spread through the courtyard, and if someone was hidden nearby, the place where the sandalwood didn’t reach would be suspicious.

As several people returned to the courtyard, Ye Jingyu stepped forward again and replaced the sandalwood with spirit sandalwood.

“The elixir has been refined!” Ye Jingcheng sat down nearby and took out a pill bottle, still looking a bit fatigued.

It also dispelled many of Ye Xingyi’s fanciful notions, causing them to swallow back the words hanging on their lips.

After a brief silence, Ye Xingyi took out a storage bag and handed it to Ye Jingcheng.

“Jingcheng, this is spirit tea and spiritual honey sent by the family for you!”

Ye Jingcheng was somewhat surprised, but upon thought, it made sense that his Spring Tea had matured quite a bit, and the spiritual honey was harvested from the more than a thousand Five Poison Bees he had left to extract it.

Some harvest was normal, but the family bringing it over did give him some unexpected joy.

“The Patriarch came last month. At that time, you were in seclusion, so he didn’t disturb you.”

“What else did the Patriarch say?” Ye Jingcheng asked with some curiosity.

“Not much. He mainly came to deliver materials, and his intention was for you to send a message back to the family after coming out of seclusion!” Ye Xingyi continued to add.

After listening, Ye Jingcheng nodded, then took the pill bottle and began to introduce the Tier Two Blood Burst Pill to Ye Xingyi.

This Blood Burst Pill was definitely for sale, and the price had to far exceed ordinary spirit pills, as it could overdraft the Demon Beast’s strength, exerting two hundred percent of its power.

At critical moments, it could absolutely be a lifesaver.

Upon hearing that this was a newly developed pill formula from the Ye Family, Ye Xingyi was also quite excited.

“Jingcheng, this is excellent. Compared to the Xu Family, what we’re currently lacking is a Tier Two Spirit Pill. Recently, the prohibition order hasn’t been effective, and if it weren’t for the Jade Soul Pill stabilizing the store, our business might be even worse!”

“Even though, as per your instructions, we sell one Jade Soul Pill every half month, we now have none left, and there are cultivators asking every few days when you’ll be refining more Jade Soul Pills.” Ye Xingyi felt some regret thinking about this.

After all, the Ye Family sold a Jade Soul Pill for nine hundred and fifty spirit stones each, certainly making a huge profit.

Even if Ye Jingcheng took a large share, it was still so.

For Ye Xingyi now, he naturally wanted to earn a bit more spirit stones.

Moreover, unlike Ye Jingyu, he had already broken through to the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, only needing to refine his cultivation and wait for the auction of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Of course, if he couldn’t grab a Foundation Establishment Pill at the auction, he would either be stuck for life or make a desperate attempt.

“Jingcheng, have some spirit tea.” Ye Jingyu then poured a cup of spirit tea for Ye Jingcheng.

The spirit tea was still Spring Tea; although the spiritual energy of Spring Tea wasn’t that good, the Ye Family wasn’t extravagant enough to regularly drink Tier Two Spirit Tea.

Ye Jingcheng took a sip and nodded.

“Fifteenth Uncle, I’ll go check the second floor these days, and you can refine more spirit pills these days!” Ye Jingcheng understood what Ye Xingyi was thinking, and now was indeed the time for him to spend more time there.

Ye Xingyi was silent for a moment and then nodded.

As an Alchemy Master, he certainly earned more than someone simply selling pills.

And a Foundation Establishment Pill costs at least twenty thousand spirit stones. Even though he had saved some, the Ye Family cultivators all raised Spirit Beasts, so there wasn’t much savings from daily expenses.

Shortly after, Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu left the courtyard and went to the shop.

Ye Jingyu’s cultivation had improved quite a bit in recent days.

The salary for Spirit Plant Masters in the Ye Family wasn’t much; except for taking care of Tier Two Spirit Plants, which offered a bit more, other work locations weren’t as good compared to Taichang Market.

It was obvious that Ye Jingyu had exchanged quite a few spirit pills, and Ye Jingcheng estimated that in no time, the other would be able to reach the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer.

Ye Jingcheng went upstairs and sat in front of the store. Through the corridor, Ye Jingcheng could see a middle-aged cultivator from the Chu Family sitting there.

Their cultivation was only at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, but they were a decent Artifact Refiner.

After sitting down, Ye Jingcheng took out the storage bag.

Inside the storage bag, the first things that caught his eye were the spirit tea and spiritual honey, along with a few spiritual almonds.

Ye Jingcheng felt a warmth in his heart; he knew who had sent the spiritual almonds.

Merely, in the past, he hadn’t thought much of it. Now, he felt that these spiritual almonds carried an added sense of affection.

Ye Jingcheng shook his head with a smile, thinking as long as it wasn’t a Spiritual Peach, everything was manageable.

He continued to examine the other items and, sure enough, found a jade talisman and a small bottle of Guiyuan Milk inside.

This Guiyuan Milk wasn’t just any item; rather, it was the remaining main ingredient needed for the Jade Qilin Pill.

This meant that the Jade Qilin Snake could also consume Advancement Pills to break through.

This brought Ye Jingcheng joy.

However, he knew that before this, he still needed to improve his alchemy skill, as the Tier Two Jade Qilin Pill, among the Tier Two High-Grade Spirit Pills, was absolutely one of the more complex ones.

He had shown some inexperience and barely managed when refining the Tier Two Red Flame Pill. Without the Six-Part Alchemy Method, the chances for mistakes were significant.

Moreover, Water Attribute Spirit Pills were inherently more difficult to refine.

Ye Jingcheng placed the Guiyuan Milk away, then picked up the jade talisman.

If he was correct, the jade talisman contained the real message that Ye Xingliu wanted to convey to him.

He activated the array surrounding him and pressed the jade talisman to his forehead.

But there was only a stall name written on it.

This left Ye Jingcheng momentarily stunned.

Then he suddenly understood.

Obviously, there were other cultivators from the Ye Family here.

It’s just that they weren’t openly known members of the Ye Family to avoid exposure.

Regarding Mo Hongyuan, it wasn’t realistic for the Ye Family to have only Ye Jingcheng handle it.

With determination in his heart, Ye Jingcheng felt a sudden relief in the face of Mo Hongyuan’s pressure.

However, he didn’t immediately take action, as the family wanted to keep it confidential. Naturally, he couldn’t go now, and he still needed to send a family letter back to keep up appearances.

In the following time, Ye Jingcheng peacefully organized the spirit pills, then took out the pill formula for the Jade Qilin Pill and started studying it slowly.

Seemingly by intuition or coincidence, many Foundation Establishment cultivators came to buy spirit pills. Of course, most were there for the Jade Soul Pill, but Ye Jingcheng still only sold one, refusing others by saying the number of pills was too few.

Though he could form four or five pills from one furnace of Jade Soul Pills nowadays, it was indeed half the number compared to other spirit pills, necessitating a strategy of creating scarcity.

The result of numerous cultivators visiting was that ten Tier Two Spirit Pills were sold that day, among which a Blood Burst Pill was also sold for five hundred and eighty spirit stones.

Though not a large amount, in the category of Tier Two Lower Grade Spirit Pills, it was considered quite good.

After all, the Blood Burst Pill had significant side effects.

The day’s harvest was decent, and just as Ye Jingcheng was about to call it a day, he saw that, at some point, opposite the corridor, Chu Yanqing had already replaced the previous person.

Chu Yanqing wore a green dress, appearing particularly elegant and dignified, while also exuding a certain ancient charm and wit.

Ye Jingcheng frowned, considering ignoring her and leaving directly.

“Is Ye Daoist now so reluctant to see me that you’re not even willing to meet upon my request?”
