Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 451: Chapter 394: Taking the Initiative to Inquire Spirit, Light in the Eyes (Double Chapter – Thanks to Chubby Baby Bottle, Alliance Leader)

Cyan Willow Mountain, after the extended rainy season, the dark clouds gradually dispersed, and a faint light appeared in the sky.

According to reason, summer’s sudden rain comes quickly and goes quickly.

But this time it was different, lasting for more than ten days. In the mortal world, without cultivators to help, it would already count as a significant flood disaster.

At present, looking down from the mountain, one can see yellow mud streams everywhere.

Most of the grass and wood structures on the mountain were also almost destroyed.

Everywhere are ravines and remnants, presently being slowly filled with earth magic by cultivators.

But throughout the mountain, there is still a strong smell of blood that lingers.

Even though sandalwood smoke, heavy in fragrance, has been ignited atop the mountain, transforming into a Smoke Dragon, retreating towards the sky.

And even more important is that the whole mountain body is somewhat collapsing.

For such a Spirit Mountain, the Spirit Vein is its most fundamental lifeline; if the Spirit Vein is strong, the mountain body can even slowly rise, wondrously.

Yet, Cyan Willow Mountain’s Spirit Vein, due to Master Tianfu’s targeting of the Silver Moon Demon King, was overstretched and extracted, leading to the great cracks in the mountain and even a slow accretion of Spiritual Energy.

It is feared that by then, the Spirit Vein will not only fail to recover but will continue to degrade.

This is undoubtedly bad news for the Jin Family.

Moreover, having lost so much has made them hesitant about whether or not to continue investing in Taihang Commandery.

Ye Jingcheng landed beside the mountain body, watching the central hall being rebuilt and some ordinary lofts established for loose cultivators to reside.

Although the loose cultivators came to help, without approval from a few True Masters, leaving is naturally not possible.

So many loose cultivators hiding their identities, Taiyi Sect is certainly going to conduct a thorough investigation.

If no problems arise, Taiyi Sect might even offer some benefits.

Those with issues will receive a warning from Taiyi Sect.

As for those who fled secretly, Ye Jingcheng estimates that those sword cultivators from Taiyi Sword Peak will show them why the number of Taiyi Sword Cultivators is so few.

Ye Jingcheng quietly waited outside the loft, his figure landing outside the Array, allowing everyone to observe him.

This also tells Taiyi Sect that he doesn’t have time to manipulate anything in secret.

He is waiting for the return of Tianzhen Ascendant and Supreme Taihao.

Having the Flood Dragon Blood with him all the time is frankly unsettling.

However, he didn’t wait for the two Ascendants but instead received visits from many cultivators.

These cultivators included Jin Family’s cultivators coming to express their concern, among them Jin Yutang, as if nothing had occurred between the two families previously.

Ye Jingcheng certainly enjoyed this, knowing that the Jin Family must know something, perhaps overestimating their guesses.

But this is exactly what the Ye Family wants to see.

Besides clan cultivators, there were also loose cultivators proactively greeting him and purchasing some Spirit Pills.

However, the Spirit Pills purchased are those that are typically very difficult to sell, yet the materials used are excellent spirit beast materials from the recent Beast Tide.

Compared to the Jin Family, these loose cultivators have more reason to get along well with the Ye Family.

After all, the current direction of the Beast Tide is aimed at the Jin Family and Kong Family, and the ancestor of the Kong Family has already fallen, likely leading to their withdrawal from Taihang Commandery.

While the remaining Jin Family has also suffered considerable losses, although the Ye Family has transformed from a Purple Mansion Clan to a Foundation Establishment Clan, it must be noted that the Ye Family’s foundation lies in Taihang Commandery.

Other cultivators can choose to develop elsewhere, as the frequent Beast Tides may completely destroy the spirit fields and clan mountains as soon as they’re established, but the Ye Family can’t, for their ancestral land and mortals are here.

Ye Jingcheng remained exceedingly humble, smiling and responding to all the loose cultivators who approached in goodwill.

As the patriarch of a fallen clan from Purple Mansion to Foundation Establishment, he must drop his pride and work cooperatively with everyone.

Minutes and seconds passed; the light in the sky grew more abundant.

The final round of sunlight slowly emerged.

The long-missing sunlight shined on the leaves on the mountain, making them glitter.

Appearing particularly fresh and bright.

In the distance, a Spiritual Ship descended, and finally, Tianzhen Ascendant and Supreme Taihao returned. Ye Jingcheng also grasped a Spirit Talisman, heading towards Supreme Taihao.

The expressions of the two Ascendants were visibly not very good; for cultivators of the same tier, escaping without strong attacking or trapping means is extremely difficult.

After all, cultivators aren’t like spirit beasts; sometimes their escape methods are far more formidable than their attack methods.

Moreover, these are spies from other sects of the Cultivation Kingdom, and if they didn’t have certain skills, they wouldn’t dare infiltrate.

Let alone openly robbing Flood Dragon Blood.

“Elder Taihao, Elder Tianzhen, this is the Flood Dragon Blood personally collected by me and my family members!” Ye Jingcheng took out a Jade Bottle, containing more than twenty drops of Flood Dragon Blood.

“No need for this; the sect still trusts the Ye Family very much!” Tianzhen Ascendant, letting go of his worried face, smiled slightly and spoke.

He also glanced at Ye Jingcheng’s Spirit Inquiry Talisman.

Without expressing any skepticism about Ye Jingcheng’s choice of words.

On the contrary, they trusted the Ye Family even more.

A family so proactive is much better than other families that hide themselves.

Moreover, an understanding patriarch like him is rare in their eyes.

Most crucially, for the majority of cultivators, they wouldn’t prioritize spirit beasts as much.

Thus they wouldn’t suspect that Ye Jingcheng was speaking of family members and himself, without mentioning the Wood Demon.

With that said, Tianzhen Ascendant also accepted the Jade Bottle.

The Flood Dragon Blood in this Jade Bottle is something neither Tianzhen Ascendant nor Supreme Taihao can decide its ownership.
