Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 376: Chapter 351: Creating Momentum, Navigating the Situation!

The Ye Family Assembly Hall bustled with activity as the clan meeting approached; many clan members returned from afar, weary yet joyous.

Ye Jingcheng entered once more, in stark contrast to the sorrow-filled eyes he had three days prior; today, he had returned to normal.

No trace of joy or sorrow could be seen on his face.

As a competent patriarch, mastering one’s expressions is notably important.

At this moment, Ye Xingliu was in the hall, examining several jade talismans.

“You’ve worried, Third Uncle.” Ye Jingcheng cupped his hands, speaking respectfully.

“Jingcheng is here.”

Ye Xingliu looked up, surprised to see Ye Jingcheng.

After all, he had sent Ye Jingcheng a sound transmission, advising him to spend some time alone.

He feared Ye Jingcheng hadn’t moved past his grief.

But seeing Ye Jingcheng’s eyes now, it was clear he had returned to the state he was when at Taichang Market.

Over these years, Ye Jingcheng’s performance has been appreciable.

Any lingering worries dissipated instantly.

“Third Uncle, I recently completed cultivating the Soul Splitting Technique, and it’s not suitable for cultivation right now, so I came over to learn a little.” Ye Jingcheng spoke with a smile.

Of course, learning was an excuse; coming to discuss family reforms and new policies was the true intent.

With the Li Family absorbed by the Ye Family, the territory expanded significantly, and the cultivation resources increased. Previously, the Ye Family relied on hunting demons in the Taihang Mountain Range and managing two or three spirit medicine gardens.

Now, they have the Cloud Valley and Buqing Mountain of the former Li Family, the former being a ready Tier Two Spirit Medicine Garden, while the latter is another Tier Two Spiritual Vein Spirit Mountain, with a substantial increase in spirit medicine resources.

Within the clan’s domain, they also discovered a Tier One Spirit Ore Vein. The shop at Taichang Market yielded an annual profit of over ten thousand spirit stones, indicating a favorable situation.

Adding to this, the Ye Family had the Lush Forest Pig Group and Mountain-devouring Rat Race, ensuring ample spirit beast meat. The Ye Family’s Red Section Fish, after over a decade of cultivation, had already achieved a substantial scale.

Even the Spring Tea had gained a fair amount of notoriety among low-tier loose cultivators.

Now, the primary goal was to take over the former Mo Family tavern and dominate the tavern market within Taihang Commandery.

The Mo Family currently lacked even one Foundation Establishment member and could no longer be deemed a Foundation Establishment Clan.

Naturally, the tavern spiritual cuisine business in the Taihang Market was vacated.

Following the family’s direction, upon assuming the role of patriarch, he could firstly increase the salary levels of clan members and enhance support for each hall entrance.

Secondly, he could establish a tavern to create influence and occupy the market at Taihang Market, enhancing the family’s influence.

Thirdly, and most importantly, the Ye Family has improved the Red Flame Pill; the current research is quite thorough, to Ye Jingcheng’s surprise.

The modified Tier One Red Flame Pill could enhance the bloodline of fire attribute spirit beasts.

It greatly reduced the risk of spirit beast body explosion.

Once he assumes the role, it can be implemented within the family.

Though the revised Red Flame Pill had diminished effects, it was more universally applicable.

Both his Tier One Golden Scale Pill and Tier One Jade Qilin Pill were ready to commence production.

After all, being a Tier Two Alchemist, creating and improving Tier One Pill Formulas was quite normal.

“Here to inquire about solutions for elixirs, aren’t you?” Ye Xingliu deftly unraveled Ye Jingcheng’s intent, though he did not conceal.

The reason for not speaking via sound transmission was the fear of exposure.

“This is another pill formula from the family, the Vein-Protecting Pill. Spirit beast body explosions occur mostly due to surging blood energy, resulting in death from explosion. Having the Vein-Protecting Pill significantly reduces this possibility!” Ye Xingliu took out a jade talisman and handed it to Ye Jingcheng.

The Vein-Protecting Pill is a Tier One High-Grade Spirit Pill, naturally sufficient for Tier One Spirit Beasts.

“Additionally, for fire attribute spirit beast assessments, one can observe the fire control ability. By using a small portion of spirit pill powder, endurance can be researched.” Ye Xingliu added.

The Ye Family didn’t have a Treasure Book like Ye Jingcheng’s, capable of discerning potential, nor could Ye Jingcheng identify aged spirit beasts or those with owners.

But that doesn’t mean the family couldn’t achieve it.

Firstly, the family could rely on years of judging spirit beast talents; secondly, they could observe changes in flames.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng nodded. However, it meant that judging the Golden Scale Pill and Jade Qilin Pill would be challenging.

Yet, Ye Jingcheng was not in a hurry; he was only responsible for researching pill formulas, while maximizing their effects was left to the family’s cultivators.

Additionally, following Ye Xingliu’s approach, the family began fire-controlling alchemy according to Ye Jingcheng’s ideas when it came to fire attribute spirit beasts.

Though spirit beasts’ fire attribute spiritual power might be insufficient, Ye Family cultivators could assist with Earth Fire, lowering the spirit power requirements for fire attribute spirit beasts.

Nonetheless, the alchemy results were barely affected.

“Regarding the family’s taverns, they are now all functioning smoothly. Let your eldest uncle continue managing them. The Mo Family Tavern has also been purchased by the family.” Ye Xingliu spoke again.

Ye Jingcheng nodded at this; he had initially thought he needed to do much, but it appeared the Ye Family had everything from transition plans to future strategies well in hand.

Ye Jingcheng only needed to sit tight and await the clan meeting’s arrival.

“Third Uncle, what about Mo Family’s Cyan Willow Mountain and Cyan Willow Lake?” Ye Jingcheng perused Xu Yinglong’s jade talisman, noticing the message Mo Hongyuan sent Xu Yinglong about Cyan Willow Lake showing a depression.

For mountains and lakes with spiritual veins, stability is usually guaranteed.

Only when a spiritual vein breaks or a large array is fundamentally removed does such an event occur.

This was one of the minor flaws left by the Ye Family.

However, these minor flaws couldn’t serve as evidence.

Ye Jingcheng handed the jade talisman to Ye Xingliu for inspection.

After reviewing it, Ye Xingliu furrowed his brow tightly for a long while before sighing.

“It’s too late; the Kong Family has already petitioned the sect to establish a branch on Mo Family’s Cyan Willow Mountain to fend off potential beast tides from Chixia Ridge!”

“Moreover, Jin Family also petitioned to establish a branch near Chen Family, at Cyan Scale Mountain.”

“Were both approved?” Ye Jingcheng hesitated.

If the Taiyi Sect were indeed undergoing reforms, they should decline requests from Jin and Kong Families.

Ultimately, only Golden Core Clans posed a real threat to the Taiyi Sect.

The Zhong Family had been branded traitors; there’d been no news from the Zhang Family. Allowing the Jin and Kong Families to escalate was not a wise choice.

Even if they wished to weaken the influence of the Ye and Chu Families, they could relocate two Foundation Establishment Clans or even the Purple Mansion Clan.

“Both were approved. Now, your granduncle worries someone aims to muddy the waters of Taihang Commandery!”

“Even to enmesh the Taiyi Three Commanderies.” Ye Xingliu’s gaze turned profoundly deep, as the increasingly complex situations demanded heightened caution from the Ye Family.

“Don’t worry about Cyan Willow Lake; if they encounter issues, they could trouble the Three-eyed Demon King at Chixia Ridge.” Ye Xingliu subsequently added.

Then, Ye Jingcheng suddenly sensed a shift in his divine soul.

A surge of information concerning the expansion of Golden Scale Beast swept through his mind.

The Golden Scale Beast had broken through!
