Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 410: Chapter 373: Tier 3 Demon Corpse, Four Ancestors Summon (Two-in-One Bonus for Last Month’s 1,000 Votes) (Part 2)

Ye Jingcheng exited the Grotto Heaven.

He transmitted the message to Ye Haicheng and Ye Xinghe, and then planned to return to Lingyun Peak.

This time, the family arranged for Ye Jingyong to be stationed at the Taihang Market.

He broke through the Foundation Establishment and still owed the family some contribution points, so guarding the market was a way to repay them.

At the same time, he needed a channel to earn spirit stones; after all, his son Ye Wen was already six years old. In the next three years, his spirit root could be tested, and by then, many spirit stones would be needed.

Ye Haicheng agreed as well, and left the Taihang Market at dusk that evening.

…

At Lingyun Peak, as soon as Ye Jingcheng returned, he flew towards Ye Xinghan’s courtyard.

The Meat Mushroom Wood Demon needed to promptly test the latest Wood Spirit Contract.

If successful, it meant the Ye Family could become not only a Beast Taming Clan but also a Spirit-Controlling Clan in the future.

It was also what Ye Jingcheng had previously promised to Ye Xinghan.

Although the Peach Wood Demon had been tested before, it wasn’t caught by Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Xinghan was still in the courtyard, sunning various tables of spirit medicines, cultivating the spirit medicine potions.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng coming directly, he was also taken aback.

“Patriarch, why didn’t you say you were coming today? I could have prepared spirit tea.” Ye Xinghan immediately put down the basket in his hand.

He let the Wood Monkey in the courtyard handle things.

The Wood Monkey originally had high spiritual wisdom, and after taking the Spirit Transformation Pill, its spiritual wisdom was no less than that of ordinary people.

“Uncle Xinghan, don’t bother with the spirit tea today. I’m here to test the Wood Demon. I recently acquired a new Wood Demon.” Ye Jingcheng didn’t hide it and directly brought out the Wood Demon.

He also asked Ye Xinghan to begin performing the Wood Heart Contract.

“This…” Seeing the Wood Demon, Ye Xinghan was naturally impatient.

Especially since the family’s Corpse Contract was brought back, his ideas about Wood Demon Spirit Contract had become more refined.

Now, obtaining the Wood Contract was a lifelong wish for Ye Xinghan.

Even though it’s just a Meat Mushroom now, in Ye Xinghan’s eyes, it was equally precious.

After all, this was the cultivator who researched turning Spring Tea into spirit tea.

In spirit medicine research, he was far ahead of Ye Jingcheng, even though Ye Jingcheng was an Alchemy Master, proficient in pharmacology.

Ye Xinghan didn’t tear open the Spirit Talisman but only exposed a corner.

Once this corner was exposed, it began absorbing spiritual energy, but after a glance, Ye Xinghan took out a Spirit Talisman to paste it, stopping the soul absorption, though some Meat Ganoderma started growing.

Then Ye Xinghan began to condense the Wood Spirit Contract.

This Wood Spirit Contract, unlike an ordinary Blood Contract, required extracting spirit liquid, which, together with essence blood and a special Array, would enter the Meat Ganoderma.

Ye Jingcheng was watching intently from the side, and after a while, he saw Ye Xingqun tearing open the Spirit Talisman.

The Meat Mushroom Wood Demon surprisingly did not absorb spiritual energy to grow.

“Success!” Ye Xinghan was overjoyed, indicating his research bore fruit.

He did not disappoint himself.

Even without reaching Foundation Establishment, in his view, successful research outweighed it by far.

“Patriarch, I haven’t completely withdrawn this Wood Spirit Contract yet. You can contract it again!” At this moment, Ye Xinghan forcefully expelled a handful of essence blood.

As soon as this essence blood was released, the Meat Ganoderma began frantically absorbing spiritual energy.

This Meat Ganoderma cared nothing about danger, even tastier than the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon.

It absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy vigorously, its body visibly expanding.

Then, as if spiritual light was flickering, it tried to escape.

But Ye Jingcheng, quick-eyed and quick-handed, put the Spirit Talisman on again.

At the same time, he began to force out the essence blood and added the spirit liquid that Ye Xinghan had taken out.

Of course, in reality, he could successfully perform a soul contract without adding it, thanks to the Treasure Book.

But with Ye Xinghan present, it wasn’t appropriate.

As the essence blood entered the Wood Demon, Ye Jingcheng also established a connection with the Meat Mushroom Wood Demon.

He found that the spiritual wisdom of the Meat Mushroom Wood Demon wasn’t high, seeming to have only recently awakened, like a Stone Spirit.

“Patriarch, thank you!” Ye Xinghan said sincerely.

He hadn’t expected that over twenty years ago, just from mentioning it to Ye Jingcheng, Ye Jingcheng actually accomplished it.

The price paid back then was only the Purple Illusion Flower and Spring Tea.

By today’s measure, the two items wouldn’t exceed one hundred spirit stones.

“Patriarch, I’ve developed two more upgraded Yunfu Tea Trees here. These two have a higher probability of reaching Tier Two, and I have a new spirit liquid formula for cultivating spirit plants, which might be useful to you!” Ye Xinghan took out two Yunfu Tea plants, both carried in Jade Basins in the courtyard.

Clearly, they were spirit plants nurtured by Ye Xinghan daily, yet he decided to give them to Ye Jingcheng.

“Thank you, Uncle Xinghan.” Ye Jingcheng nodded repeatedly, expressing his gratitude.

He did not refuse, knowing well that even if he did, Ye Xinghan, being the kind of person he was, would secretly plant them in his courtyard in his absence.

Ye Xinghan’s personality was somewhat reserved. He rarely spoke, and only engaged in conversations with Ye Jingcheng because Ye Jingcheng had his insights into cultivating spirit medicine and had helped him find the Wood Demon.

Next, Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xinghan drank a few more cups of spirit tea before he left.

Before he even landed in the courtyard, an unfamiliar transmission arrived.

“Jingcheng, come quickly to Lingyun Lake!”

Ye Jingcheng was unfamiliar with the voice, but anyone who could access Lingyun Lake surely had to be a patriarch of the Ye family.

With that thought, Ye Jingcheng hurried towards Lingyun Lake.

As it was nearing midsummer, the fierce sun blazed brightly, melting much of the snow scene on the mountaintop.

All had transformed into trickling spring water, flowing downward.

Listening to the mountain streams, Ye Jingcheng could not help but imagine his own Stone Spirit Grotto Heaven having such a scene someday.

Unintentionally, he arrived before Lingyun Lake, where two familiar paths in the lake opened.

The familiar underground palace remained, but the person sitting there was now different. This time, it was another elder with white hair.

His eyes were both turbid and lively, a seeming contradiction that appeared mysterious yet harmonious.

“This is your Fourth Uncle Ancestor, Ancestor Xue Fan!” spoke Ye Haicheng nearby.

With this introduction, Ye Jingcheng respectfully paid his greetings.

Ye Xuefan, of course, he had heard of. Years ago, it was Ye Xuefan who had quelled the Mo Family remnants past the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, and he was the family’s Tier Three High-Grade Array Master.

He had been stationed in Cyan Cloud Sea for years.

“Jingcheng, no need for formalities. Time is pressing, so I’ll skip the introductions!” Ye Xuefan raised his hand, and Ye Jingcheng’s body was automatically corrected.

“The family has found a Mini World in the East Sea Cyan Cloud Sea Domain. Even the Beast Tide there is no longer a threat, and now the teleportation array is also repaired. You should arrange the family’s evacuation when attacked by Evil Cultivators, moving some family mortals into the Little Cyan Turtle’s Grotto Heaven, then to Cyan Cloud Sea.”

In the East Sea Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, despite its bustling nature, cultivators have never been cut off.

This is because there are no Nascent Soul Sects, Mini Worlds scattered around. After over a decade of exploration, the Ye family finally found one.

With a Mini World, placing mortals there gives cultivators an escape from the Beast Tide Domain at any time.

“However, in the Yan Kingdom area, be extremely cautious. First arrange for the family to be near a town close to the Taihang Mountain Range, but not one that’s entirely populated by Ye family mortals.”

Ye Xuefan added.

“I understand, Fourth Uncle Ancestor.” Ye Jingcheng nodded.

“Moreover, keep an eye on the Xu Family. The Xu Family is also relocating cultivators, and they might have obtained a genuine Beast Desolate Mini World!” Ye Xuefan spoke again.

This surprised Ye Jingcheng.

But then, he recalled the Xu Family’s past enmity with the Ye Family, their appeal for help; it turned out they were looking to develop further.

No wonder they endured oppression from the Kong Family and wouldn’t give up.

They gathered numerous cultivators, disrupting the order in the Taihang Market.

This contrasted with the Chu Family’s actions, entirely different.

“They might not have the heritage, but there could be leftover spirit beast eggs or cubs!” Ye Xuefan finally said.

This was clear in its meaning, informing Ye Jingcheng, as to whether they’d take action or not was left to him and Ye Haicheng.

After all, the current focus of the Ye family was on Ye Xuecang’s breakthrough.

Only if Ye Xuecang reached the Golden Core would the Ye family’s situation be somewhat better.

Thus, they couldn’t allocate forces from the Hidden Peak to assist Ye Jingcheng.

“This is the corpse bead you gave last time. I’ve refined it into a Tier Three Purple Sun Demon Corpse, as an extra reward from last time. Additionally, an Array Disc was included, so even if you can’t control it with the Corpse Contract, you can use the disc!” Ye Xuefan said.

Ye Jingcheng was overjoyed.

This meant his safety would greatly increase in the future.

A Tier Three Purple Sun Demon Corpse was not intimidated even by Purple Mansion Cultivators.

If his Golden Falcon broke through to Tier Three, it could potentially severely injure those Purple Mansion Cultivators who were too confident.
