Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 274: Chapter 268: Cyan Wood Spirit Seed

Above the sky, Chixiao Heaven began to flow turbulently.

Just like thunderclouds, the impending storm-like feeling made all the cultivators feel extremely oppressed.

The cultivators in the market stalls decreased and moved towards the flat area of West City.

They had already forgotten how long it had been since anyone dared to fight in Taichang Market.

It is known that cultivators’ memories are frightening in itself, having a photographic memory is a minor thing, which also proves Taichang Market’s long-standing tranquility.

Master Miaofa brought a team of Taiyi Sect law enforcement disciples and landed in front of Mo’s Shop.

Mo’s Shop sold Array Discs, and arrays covered the surroundings, so the shops on either side were unscathed.

Instead, the interior of Mo’s Shop had already turned into ruins.

“Reporting to Master, there is nothing useful left in here. These Jade Talismans are all just sales arrays, and as for the Storage Bags of these individuals, none were left behind; they were likely destroyed in advance, and Mo Hongyuan is also nowhere to be found!” Several Foundation Establishment cultivators walked out from the ruins.

Master Miaofa’s face was frighteningly stern. In Taiyi Sect, overseeing Taichang Market was done in turns, and for Master Miaofa to have encountered an incident, it meant Taiyi Purple Peak would become a laughingstock among the peaks.

What’s more, the Mo Family had always been offering gifts to his Purple Peak.

He had even stood up to protect this Mo Family before.

He took out a square mirror, and a touch of white Divine Light appeared in his hand, accompanied by dense Spirit Techniques, lighting up the mirror with Divine Light.

The mirror then shone on the ruins.

Magically, Spirit Shadows began to appear instantly on the ruins, and these Spirit Shadows even displayed various scenes.

For instance, the interactions between Mo Hongyuan and Mo Qianyu, but only pictures with no conversation content; the crucial Jade Talisman had evidently been destroyed.

The picture continued, this time following Mo Qianyu, seeing the restaurant, seeing the old man in the yellow robe, yet before they could see the old man in the yellow robe—

The Spirit Shadow dissipated, exceeding the time limit for tracing, and the Spirit Shadow was gone, indicating that the figure in the yellow robe had vanished too.

“Again!” At this moment, sweat dripped from Master Miaofa as it seemed even he couldn’t sustain the use of the Treasure Mirror for backtracking over a long duration.

Not to mention backtracking across objects.

He waved his hand, dispelling the backtrack.

“How’s the investigation on Spirit Wine going over there?” Master Miaofa asked again.

“Reporting to Master, the Spirit Wine there is indeed Tier Two Spirit Wine, but it doesn’t have the rumored life-extending effects; it’s just slightly sweeter.” Another Foundation Establishment cultivator spoke cautiously.

Master Miaofa snorted coldly upon hearing this, causing that Foundation Establishment cultivator to immediately kneel repeatedly on the ground.

Yet Master Miaofa said no more, instead flew up, heading out of the market, obviously wanting to investigate that gigantic Spirit Burst.

However, when he landed there, with a sweep of the mirror, not a single inch remained intact.

In the mirror, there were only scenes of explosion, without the slightest trace of other Magical Combat.

He couldn’t determine who killed Mo Hongyuan or why Mo Hongyuan left the city.

Because everything that could be traced back was dead.

Except for the clansmen of the Kong Family…

…

In the market, the Chixiao Heaven continued to churn for several days, causing panic among the cultivators in the market.

The swirling Chi Yun dissipating would signify the matter was not concluded.

Of course, the outside surge, for Ye Jingcheng at this moment, was completely ignored.

He was currently focused on cultivating the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture.

As the Wood Phase Spiritual Power caught up, each round of cultivation was improving him significantly.

However, with increasing progress, he encountered a bottleneck.

Since the Spiritual Energy of Earth Phase, Water Phase, and Wood Phase was now even less pure than his, his cultivation speed slowed considerably.

It was almost as if he had returned to his original speed.

This made him somewhat troubled since the principle of the Beast Communication Technique to boost cultivators is to use purer Spiritual Power for cultivation. To accelerate now, Ye Jingcheng must either consume Three-phase Spirit Pills simultaneously or boost three Spirit Beasts.

The former was naturally not feasible unless he refined Spirit Pills full of Pill Patterns; otherwise, the pill’s side effects would be overwhelming.

Thus, Ye Jingcheng began to cultivate the last Tier Two Secret Technique of the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture, the Cyan Wood Spirit Seed.

The Cyan Wood Spirit Seed was more magical compared to the other three major Secret Techniques; he needed to select several vine seeds and transform them into Spirit Seeds using Spiritual Power to catalyze them critically.

This catalyzation speed was much faster than the Wood Vine Skill.

Moreover, the catalyzation amount was incomparable to the Wood Vine Skill; however, the Cyan Wood Spirit Seed must be nurtured within the body regularly, which for Ye Jingcheng, lacking offensive means currently, needed this kind of controlling Secret Technique.

However, selecting the seeds proved difficult because he currently only had Poison Thorn Flower seeds.

This vine wasn’t sturdy even if refined into Cyan Wood Spirit Seed.

Ye Jingcheng shook his head and gave up on it.

He still needed to go to the market to buy some Tier Two Vine Spirit Seeds.

Of course, as much as he thought so, he still took out one or two Poison Thorn Flower seeds to begin testing.

The execution of the Cyan Wood Spirit Seed Secret Technique was much simpler than other secret techniques, but it required constant consumption of Wood Attribute Spiritual Power for nurturing.

In half a day’s work, Ye Jingcheng had become entirely familiar with it. At the Spirit Platform, in the Wood Phase section, there were now two seeds surrounded by a cyan light.

Ye Jingcheng smiled slightly, then stood up, and the Red Flame Fox by the bed got up as Ye Jingcheng did, chirping away.

It seemed as if it was still recounting its heroic escapades to Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng petted its smooth fur.

“Chirp chirp!” The Red Flame Fox then inquired if Ye Jingcheng wanted to refine some Spirit Pills.

Ye Jingcheng nodded.

He indeed needed to refine some, and not just any Spirit Pills, but Jade Soul Pills.

Ye Haifei and the ancestors had lost their Soul Splits and required Jade Soul Pills for restoration.

Moreover, they had directly self-destructed their Soul Splits, requiring more than just one or two Jade Soul Pills.

After breaking through to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, Ye Jingcheng found refining Spirit Pills became much more casual, with Spirit Medicine thrown into the Pill Furnace, the Spiritual Light and medicine principle separated one by one, soon forming a mass of medicinal liquid.

Another two days passed.

Ye Jingcheng raised his hand, the furnace lid flew open, and five Jade Soul Pills manifested from the Pill Furnace, one of which even displayed Pill Patterns due to the Spiritual Enhancement Secret Technique.

This made Ye Jingcheng extremely satisfied.

He put away the five Jade Soul Pills, then took out a Fire Heart Pill with Pill Patterns from the Storage Bag and tossed it to the Red Flame Fox.

The latter wagged its three red tails and slowly lay down, as Ye Jingcheng input some Treasure Light to it, then walked out the door, removing the concealment of the Supreme Turtle Concealing Qi Technique, letting the cultivation of the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment spread unrestrained as he walked out to the shop.

“Seventh Sister, were there any issues during my seclusion breakthrough?” Ye Jingcheng asked.

“There was an issue; the Mo family was wiped out, though not knowing who did it, I feel relieved!”
