Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 464: Chapter 401: The Final Dance, Secret Mission (Double-Length)

The spiritual energy in the sky also dispersed, leaving no trace of the spiritual radiance phenomenon, only a gentle breeze flowing through the mountains.

It blew across the hills, the blooming valley entrance, as well as the rivers and lakes.

Ye Jingcheng swallowed and spoke out loudly:

“Farewell to Foundation Establishment cultivator, Ye Family elder Ye Haiyi!”

Ye Jingcheng said.

The rest immediately began to repeat his words in unison.

The repeated voices blended with the mountain wind, carrying over tens of miles along the mountain path.

“From today onward, no one in the Ye Family will hinder anyone from breaking through Foundation Establishment as long as they reach the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer. The family will fully support them!” Ye Jingcheng declared.

These words represented the determination of the Ye Family.

At this time, what the Ye Family needed was not stable development, but the courage to burn bridges and forge ahead.

On the path of cultivation, one must not fear.

Once afraid, one will never regain the true heart of cultivation.

As Ye Jingcheng spoke, all the Ye Family members nodded in agreement.

Ye Jingyun nodded even more vehemently.

“Patriarch, let me be the first!” As soon as Ye Jingyun said this, several others at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer also responded, followed by those at the Qi Cultivation Seventh and Eighth Layers.

Ye Xinghan and Ye Xingqun couldn’t help but show a hint of dejection.

They similarly had lost the courage to attempt again.

As for Ye Jingcheng, he now needed his five spirit beasts to break through to Tier Three Great Demon. The extra Tier Three Great Demon Core could be used to refine Foundation Establishment Pills.

Although it was over a decade ago that he had a fleeting glimpse, that glimpse stayed in his mind for over ten years.

Recently, he had refined several inner core spirit pills from demon beasts, so he now had the confidence to refine Foundation Establishment Pills.

The sunset began to fall, the mountain wind turning the maple leaves crimson.

The red maple leaves swayed and danced in the wind like flames.

Ye Jingcheng walked into the courtyard and personally took Ye Haiyi’s belongings to the family’s ancestral hall.

On the stone road lined on both sides, the mountain was draped in white cloth, with all Ye Family members donning mourning apparel.

For a full three days, the bells on Ye Family’s Lingyun Peak tolled continuously.

…

By the fourth day, frost had appeared in the sky, and the entire Lingyun Peak seemed to grow much colder overnight.

The cyan stone bamboo in the bamboo forest was laden with white frost.

Ye Xingqun and Ye Xinghan entered the bamboo forest, exchanging glances, both quite puzzled about today’s matters.

They were summoned by Ye Jingcheng.

But precisely because it was Ye Jingcheng, they felt puzzled.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng should be preparing for the Purple Mansion.

“Seventh Uncle, Sixteenth Uncle!” Ye Jingcheng emerged from the bamboo forest.

His demeanor had returned to usual, no longer deeply mired in sadness. The Sea Generation, having not broken through Foundation Establishment, would naturally pass one by one.

This is a predetermined fact that no one can solve.

But for those who come later, it’s most important to bear the will of their ancestors and strive to walk further on the immortal path.

Ye Jingcheng being in such a state naturally pleased them.

“Patriarch, is there a secret mission today?” Ye Xingqun asked.

He was quite familiar with Ye Jingcheng, so he was not hesitant to ask.

As for Ye Xinghan, he too shared a good rapport with Ye Jingcheng, but he was more reticent, rarely speaking much ordinarily.

Only when researching spirit plants did he show his scholarly side.

“Indeed, there is a secret mission.” Ye Jingcheng smiled slightly.

He then walked to the table and poured a full serving of Jade Wave Wine for the two elders.

Only then did he bring out six jade boxes.

“May I ask Seventh Uncle and Sixteenth Uncle, what are your ages today?” Ye Jingcheng inquired.

The two looked into the jade boxes and saw several large spiritual peaches, feeling puzzled. After all, where is there a mission that requires age?

In terms of completing missions, they believed that being older meant more experience.

But out of trust, they replied:

“I am seventy-five, and he is seventy-one!” Ye Xingqun responded.

In those days, when the Ye Family acquired the Foundation Establishment Pills, Ye Xingqun was just three years short, hence losing the right to compete for the pills. Back then, Ye Xingyu had already broken through the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer for several years, whereas Ye Xingqun had just reached Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, not to mention his age being at its limit.

“This is the Longevity Spiritual Peach.” Ye Jingcheng explained.

“So, the secret mission for the two family uncles is to break through Foundation Establishment and become the hidden Foundation Establishment strength of the Ye Family.” Ye Jingcheng stated.

“Also, help the family nurture two new hall masters.” Ye Jingcheng said with a smile.

Currently, Ye Xingqun is the hall master of the Beast Hunting Hall, and Ye Xinghan is the hall master of the Spirit Plant Hall.

But if they break through, they can no longer serve as hall masters but will instead stay at the clan mountain, guarding the family’s Treasure Tower or Spirit Beast Valley.

Only in critical moments would they be mobilized.

“The spiritual peaches should be used by other family members, Jing Yun is reaching the age, he can use them, along with Xing Shui and Jing Yu.” Ye Xingqun shook his head repeatedly.

“Seventh Uncle, Sixteenth Uncle, firstly, the family needs to study the method of upgrading Tier One Spirit Plants to Tier Two Spirit Plants. Secondly, the family needs a Tier Two cultivator to control spirit insects!”

“Moreover, these Longevity Spiritual Peaches are unprecedented in extending life for ten years, and for you two family uncles, only two need to be taken, leaving two for other family members.”

Ye Jingcheng also stated.

Life-extending elixirs typically have halved effects after the second one.

So, both can take two each.

“Both of you, please don’t decline; choose successors for your positions soon. The Ye Family needs young blood.” Ye Jingcheng said directly, seeing their hesitation.

These words left the two rather embarrassed.

Currently, the management of the Ye Family, except for Ye Xinghe, has indeed been taken over by the Jing Generation.

The transition of family leadership has been completed quietly.

“Alright, the two of us will try, but we don’t need the Foundation Establishment Pills!” Ye Xingqun was not indecisive, hearing there are six peaches, the two planned to give it a try.

But they were unwilling to waste Foundation Establishment Pills.

“No need for Foundation Establishment Pills, Earth Flame Fiend can be used instead!” Ye Jingcheng smiled faintly and took out another jade box.

The moment he took out the jade box, Ye Xingqun was stunned.

This Earth Flame Fiend was naturally only suitable for him.

Ye Xinghan cultivates using a Wood Attribute Cultivation Technique, which clashed with the Earthly Fiend Qi.

“For the family, there are appropriate Tier Two Spirit Beasts like the Lizard Lord and Tier Two Blood Eagle. Seventh Uncle can choose one, while Sixteenth Uncle, it would be wise to wait a year. Next year, the Taiyi Sect will exceptionally advance their grand auction, not only auctioning Foundation Establishment Pills but also the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid!”

Ye Jingcheng further added.

These words brought joy to both.

They looked hopefully at Ye Jingcheng, queries almost spilling over from their eyes.

Clearly, they were asking Ye Jingcheng.

And Ye Jingcheng nodded, reassuring them.

The Ye Family’s key now did not lie in anyone else, but in Ye Jingcheng. If Ye Jingcheng breaks through to the Purple Mansion, the Ye Family’s glory will continue.

Of course, they did not know that Ye Jingcheng actually already possessed the Purple Jade Fruit.

He just needed to successfully refine the Purple Spirit Concentration Liquid and the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, then he could break through.

Ye Jingcheng returned from Ye Xingqun’s bamboo forest directly to his own courtyard.

Inspired by Ye Haiyi, every Ye Family member is working very hard right now.

As the family head, he naturally could not lag behind others.

Upon returning to the Ye Family Mansion, he immediately began refining the Ren Shui Pill and Wood Scenery Earth Return Pill.

The Jade Qilin Flood Dragon seemed the most likely to break through soon; as soon as the aura peaked, he would have the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon consume the Tier Three Inner Core.

Next would be the Golden Scale Beast and Four-Colored Cloud Deer; they also needed to quickly break through the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

In contrast, the Meat Ganoderma and Earthworm could still be delayed a bit longer.

Besides, the Wood Demon could not be held back anymore.

The Red Flame Fox, under Ye Jingcheng’s command, quickly appeared in the room, chirping twice as if eager for Ye Jingcheng’s Three Qian Taihe Furnace.

Ye Jingcheng continued to perform the Yun Furnace, and during the process, he discovered that the Three Qian Taihe Furnace seemed somewhat unable to keep up with his pace.

He needed a better pill furnace.

For a moment, Ye Jingcheng was filled with anticipation for the auction a year later.

As flames surged and array patterns emerged, Ye Jingcheng took out the spirit medicine and began placing them one by one, thus starting the tedious alchemy process once more.
