Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 452: Chapter 394: Taking the Initiative to Inquire Spirit, Light in Their Eyes (Double-Length, Thanks to Chubby Bottle the Alliance Leader) (2)

They also need to carefully store them away, waiting for Master Tianfu, Master Miaofa, and Master San Yuan to distribute.

Before they could continue speaking, Ye Jingcheng took out two more storage bags.

“Elder Taihao, Elder Tianzhen, these are spirit beasts our family collected for you!” Ye Jingcheng spoke again.

The storage bag contained the corpses of some Tier Two demon beasts.

Not many, but altogether worth a few thousand spirit stones.

For cultivators, it is not the case that the higher one’s cultivation, the wealthier one becomes; the opposite is true. The higher their cultivation, the faster they consume spirit stones, making them more in need of them.

The reason why so many cultivation clans have arisen in the Taiyi Sect Three Commanderies is due to the connection between families and sects.

“There is no need for these. With the changes your Ye Family has gone through, you need to stay strong,” Elders Taihao nodded.

They still refused to accept.

Although accepting such things is customary within the Taiyi Sect, the Ye Family is indeed in a turbulent period, and if not handled well, it could lead to the family’s decline.

“Elder Taihao, Elder Tianzhen, it is precisely because of this change that I cannot take advantage of the elders,” Ye Jingcheng persisted.

Giving these materials was a sincere act from Ye Jingcheng, without any hypocrisy.

After all, the Ye Family, during the beast tide, didn’t have the Purple Mansion combat power, and it was only thanks to Elder Tianzhen and Elder Taihao that they managed to fend off those Tier Three Purple Mansion Great Demons.

Otherwise, the Ye Family’s losses might not have been less than that of the Kong Family.

The Kong Family now, as Ye Jingcheng observed, had its Foundation Establishment cultivators reduced by at least half.

Kong Yulong was severely injured and still recovering.

Hearing this, Elder Taihao and Elder Tianzhen exchanged glances, relenting and accepting finally.

They knew that before Ye Jingcheng’s status as a registered disciple under Master Tianfu was confirmed, it was better to accept some gifts to show others that they are taking care of the Ye Family.

This would benefit the Ye Family more, and refusing might cause potential troubles for them.

In the Taihang Three Commanderies of the Yan Kingdom, although their renown isn’t incredibly significant, still some Purple Mansion clans would respect their influence.

Moreover, the sect did not take any portion of the gains from this beast tide, so the Ye Family could retain some.

After accepting the treasures, the three began discussing the current situation.

Apparently, regarding the issue of the secret treasure, matters have largely been resolved for the Ye Family, and soon the two ascendants and Ye Jingcheng were conversing enthusiastically.

Where previously they would only exchange brief words, they now even discussed customs and humanity with Ye Jingcheng, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

They almost took out the spirit wine to have a deeper discussion.

This greatly pleased Ye Jingcheng.

Soon, in the distance, the silhouettes of Master San Yuan and Master Miaofa appeared.

Although the expressions of the four were unreadable, Ye Jingcheng estimated that there had been no results.

Otherwise, Jin Chengyun wouldn’t have such a tense demeanor.

If the Taiyi Sect remains dissatisfied, the blame for this beast tide would fall upon the Kong Family and the Jin Family.

As for finding scapegoats, there is currently no one left in Taihang Commandery to scapegoat.

Regarding major losses, had the Ye Family lost a Golden Core True Master, they would certainly have suffered the greatest losses.

The Chu Family and Xu Family have both been exterminated.

It’s naturally impossible for them to take the fall.

Moreover, Ye Jingcheng guessed that the sect would likely take some from the two great Golden Core families.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng didn’t rush over to confirm matters at this moment, he only speculated for a bit and then returned to his family.

As the patriarch, he had a lot to oversee.

Ye Jingli and Ye Jingyong had also returned, both with considerable gains, Ye Jingli having slain two Tier Two Blood Patterned Crocodiles, while Ye Jingyong had slain three Tier Two demon beasts more fiercely.

Ye Jingyong, whether due to his early breakthrough or the advantages of being a body cultivator, clearly was able to pursue demon beasts more effectively in open terrain.

Their return also made the Ye Family members who had mostly recovered their spiritual energy eager to have a go.

Since most of the beast tide had been cleared, but surely some demon beasts were still hiding.

At this time, with good luck, they could not only avoid danger but also achieve unexpected gains.

For instance, Ye Jingcheng obtaining the Mountain-devouring Rat was precisely due to the beast tide appearing once more in White Cloud Town.

“Patriarch, we should be able to return to Lingyun Peak.” Ye Jingyong spoke excitedly.

Understanding that the beast tide had receded after chasing so far.

The Silver Moon Demon King, even if not dead, would be severely wounded.

Under the siege of four true masters, and without the Silver Moon Demon King, the other great demons wouldn’t dare to continue the beast tide.

Moreover, the narrow and spiritually impoverished landscape of Void Spirit Ridge is unsuitable for gathering demon beasts.

Once those demon beasts return, rallying again won’t be easy.

Rather than initiating another beast tide here, it would be more strategic to exert pressure on Jade Dragon Valley.

That place is more suited as an attack point for demon beasts while at Cyan Willow Mountain continuing to hold would easily result in being surrounded front and back.

As demonstrated in this Celestial Spirit Sword Array, human encirclement from outside would render demon efforts futile without more demon kings from the Taihang Mountain Range.

That is why the beast tide doesn’t originate from Void Spirit Ridge on our side of the Yan Kingdom.

“Yes, Brother Liu, now that the elders of the family have left, you and Brother should shoulder more responsibility, especially regarding the family’s mortals. Brother Liu, assist Uncle Xingshui in thoroughly eliminating demon beasts in the mortal villages of Ye Clan, and gradually relocate the mortals back!” Ye Jingcheng said seriously.

Given the end of the beast tide, if the Jin Family remains unharmed and continues to control Taihang Commandery.

And if the mortals of the Ye Family continue to reside near the Jin Family’s Cyan Willow Mountain, it’s easy for them to be assimilated by the Jin Family.

As for the Kong Family, having lost their ancestor, they might be too busy securing their own assets to maintain their hold over Taichang Commandery.

Taichang Commandery, being five or six times larger than Taihang Commandery, and in terms of resources and Taichang Market profits, isn’t comparable to Taihang Commandery.

Previously, the Kong Family holding it was due to the ancestor, as indicated by the grandeur of Ancient Fragrance Tower.

But now with the Kong Family uncertain, the latter might withdraw from Taihang Commandery.

By then, it could be just the Ye Family and Jin Family in Taihang Commandery, and naturally, new Foundation Establishment families would come to garrison Taihang Commandery.

The Taiyi Sect wouldn’t allow a single family to dominate any commandery, nor allow continuous development of any family.

“Alright, Patriarch, I understand.” Ye Jingli nodded solemnly.

Although he might not handle overly complex matters, he was confident in exterminating demon beasts and ensuring the safe return of mortals.

Most major demons have been vanquished, leaving only some weaker ones possibly hiding in corners, which they could mobilize all Ye family members to clear out.

Especially with Ye Xingqun’s Black Wood Ants and Five Poison Bees, these are now the best means for detecting scattered demon beasts.

“Patriarch, what about me?” Ye Jingyong asked.

“Brother, take a look at your clan token!” Ye Jingcheng instructed.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingyong was momentarily stunned, but soon, as he withdrew the clan token.

He found it contained numerous hatchlings.

Including spirit beast eggs of Silver Moon Python and Red Moon Python.

And Blood Patterned Crocodile.

Crucially, the contribution points for these spirit beast eggs were all above three or four thousand, indicating that these spirit beasts are considered by the Ye Family as having potential to ascend to Tier Three Purple Mansion Great Demon.

Like Ye Jingcheng’s Jade Qilin Flood Dragon and Ye Jingyu’s Jade Qilin Snake.

And Ye Jingli’s Crimson Flame Scale Python was good as well; only Ye Jingyong’s spirit beast was slightly lacking, so naturally Ye Jingcheng decided to help him upgrade it.

“Patriarch…” Ye Jingyong was overwhelmingly moved, feeling his heartbeat wildly.

He suddenly recalled that ever since he could remember, Ye Jingyu had shown the most formidable cultivation talent and aptitude for managing affairs in the Ye Family.

That the Ye Family appointed Ye Jingcheng as the patriarch instead of Ye Jingyu was proof enough that Ye Jingcheng wasn’t a cultivator lacking ability in handling matters.

The Ye Family held more confidence in Ye Jingcheng.

A person like that wouldn’t make such a blunder.

Along with the mysterious nature of the family itself, a gleam appeared in his eyes.

At the same moment, he remembered the matter of relocating the mortals of the family.

“Brother, our responsibilities are significant; this is now the era of the Jing Generation in the Ye Family!” Ye Jingcheng declared.

Hearing this, Ye Jingyong unexpectedly felt his enthusiasm reignite.

Over the years, after marriage and having children, his fervor had diminished.

He remained honest but less bold than before.

Now, Ye Jingcheng’s words reignited that spirit.

“Patriarch, I understand!” Ye Jingyong wasn’t in his early thirties, he knew when to hold things within, understanding, meant more than speaking.

Ye Jingcheng also smiled gently, his eyes shining brighter.

In these times, the Ye Family needs to bear the weight of humiliation, but the leadership must carry the light!
