Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 503: Chapter 422: Elixir Complete, Qing Yan’s Worries

Inside the Earth Fire Room, the continual rise of the Earth Fire cast a reddish hue across Ye Jingcheng’s face.

The surrounding room was also filled with intricately carved Spirit Patterns, accompanied by the operation of the Spirit Gathering Array, flickering in unison.

Ye Jingcheng closed the gate of the Earth Fire, and with its abrupt cessation, the room suddenly lost much of its fiery glow.

Refining Purple Spirit Concentration Liquid, even for him, required utmost concentration, and thus any external interference was intolerable.

The Red Flame Fox beside him was also consuming the Fire Beast Pill, restoring its Spiritual Energy.

As for the Treasure Light, he did not use it immediately; instead, reserving its use for potential complications during refining seemed more beneficial.

The key to the Five Elements Celestial Secret Technique’s ability to protect the Divine Soul, extracting it to form celestial mansions of various attributes, lay in the Purple Spirit Concentration Liquid.

If this step failed, Ye Jingcheng would only be able to condense a standard Purple Mansion.

Such a waste of such a powerful secret technique was something Ye Jingcheng definitely sought to avoid.

Seeing the Red Flame Fox recovering, Ye Jingcheng also began meditative seated practice, cultivating the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture to restore Spiritual Energy.

Once his Spiritual Energy was fully restored, he began cultivating the Celestial Soul Technique; by reaching the Earth Soul level, the Celestial Soul Technique’s enhancements were minimal.

This was merely a secret technique, but it was excellent for refining the Heart Spirit and conserving vitality.

Moreover, it provided slight growth for the Divine Sense.

Once his Divine Soul was fully restored, with his Essence Qi and Spirit at an unprecedented peak, Ye Jingcheng took out the Jade Talisman and began comparing the materials in front of him, mentally reviewing all alchemical procedures.

As instructed by Ye Xuefu, everyone should have a pre-alchemy preparation routine: Ye Xuefu’s was meditation, Ye Haiyun’s was weighing medicines.

For Ye Jingcheng, it was mental rehearsal.

After multiple rehearsals, he was confident, and the moment he opened his eyes, the Red Flame Fox beside him let out two chirps, indicating it was fully recovered as well.

Ye Jingcheng immediately employed the Celestial Bell Furnace, allowing the Red Flame Fox to spew flames, which rose to a fierce height.

The Celestial Bell Furnace then instantaneously circulated its Spirit Patterns, forming an Ancient Bell’s Spirit Shadow in perfect silence, achieving a Perfect Furnace!

Ye Jingcheng did not rush into refining; instead, he allowed the Celestial Bell Furnace to nurture the flames for a while longer.

Once the flames were burning fiercely enough, he began adding the Spirit Medicine in a specific sequence.

Compared to the Three Qian Taihe Furnace, the Celestial Bell Furnace was significantly more stable, enhancing Ye Jingcheng’s control over the heat.

Any slight toll of the bell indicated potential issues with the heat, requiring timely adjustments.

This faint bell toll might be imperceptible to mortals but was crystal clear to cultivators.

Spending tens of thousands of Spirit Stones on this Celestial Bell Furnace proved to be a worthy investment; the only concern was not being caught by the Taiyi Sect, lest he be required to surrender it without protest.

Under the continuous burn of flames, the pill liquid inside the furnace turned a brilliant gold.

Though called the Purple Spirit Concentration Liquid, like the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, it was indeed golden.

This time, Ye Jingcheng employed the Six-Part Alchemy Method.

He divided the various Spirit Medicine into six parts according to their medicinal properties, gradually merging them.

He sought not to produce multiple batches of Purple Spirit Concentration Liquid, only aiming for a single successful batch sufficient for his own cultivation in the Five Elements Celestial Mansion.

Once he broke through the Purple Mansion, refining this spirit liquid would be much simpler, allowing him to prepare it for others.

The growth in cultivation greatly benefited alchemy.

“Now, I need to be even more focused!” Ye Jingcheng freed a hand to infuse the Red Flame Fox with ample Treasure Light.

Soon, the Red Flame Fox activated its three tails, each igniting Spiritual Fire, applying varied temperatures to three different directions of the pill furnace.

Meanwhile, Ye Jingcheng released the most crucial Thousand-Year Soul Nourishing Grass and Five Hundred Years Rejuvenating Flower, pivotal for the Purple Spirit Concentration Liquid.

The former’s ability to nurture the Divine Soul greatly surpassed that of Jade Soul Grass.

With both medicines entering the furnace, faint bell tolls occasionally resonated, intensifying Ye Jingcheng’s nerve.

These indicated issues with the heat, and the Red Flame Fox’s eyes widened as its three tails rose to maximum height, reaching the peak of its heat control.

Fortunately, at the key moment, no clear bell toll sounded.

A day and a half passed in the blink of an eye; the Red Flame Fox’s pupils had developed red streaks, and Ye Jingcheng was anything but relaxed.

The complexity of the Purple Spirit Concentration Liquid was by far the most challenging Ye Jingcheng had faced over the years.

The Red Flame Fox had infused Treasure Light three times.

Even as a Tier Two Late-stage Demon Beast, it was starting to struggle.

With the Celestial Bell Furnace being a Tier Two Top-Grade furnace, the situation could have been far worse had he continued using the Three Qian Taihe Furnace.

As the pill furnace spun rapidly, layers of golden Spiritual Mist formed inside.

Though no Pill Fragrance emerged, Ye Jingcheng’s pallor finally shifted to delight.

This signaled that the Purple Spirit Concentration Liquid was nearly complete.

Only those liquids producing Spiritual Mist could be considered successful.

These equated to the Spirit Pill’s formation.

It was unfortunate, though, that there was no Pill Fragrance or phenomena akin to Pill Patterns.

Unperturbed, Ye Jingcheng proceeded to use his family’s Spiritual Enhancement Secret Technique.

After a long while, as the furnace lid flew open, a burst of Pill Fragrance finally spread outward from within.

Although it wasn’t thick, it was enough to make Ye Jingcheng extremely pleased.

Moreover, looking from inside the pill furnace, the quantity of this portion of Purple Spirit Concentration Liquid was quite substantial, enough to be considered one and a half portions.

Ye Jingcheng carefully stored the Purple Spirit Concentration Liquid in a jade box and then meticulously cleaned the pill furnace. This refinement was also somewhat risky, and if it had been the Three Qian Taihe Furnace, he might not have succeeded.

Naturally, his regard for the Celestial Bell Furnace reached another level.

As for the Three Qian Taihe Furnace, Ye Jingcheng planned to eventually pass it on to Ye Xingyi.

Once the pill furnace was cleaned, Ye Jingcheng fed the Red Flame Fox a Fire Beast Pill and Treasure Light.

The latter was indeed exhausted, and although fatigue showed in its eyes, it still chirped excitedly, its voice vibrant and prolonged.

After finishing the refinement, Ye Jingcheng took out a jade talisman to summarize. He had no intention of exiting seclusion immediately; instead, he was preparing to refine the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid once more.

After all, these two kinds of spirit liquids are somewhat similar, both used for breakthroughs in the Purple Mansion, and it’s best to strike while the iron is hot.

Of course, before this, adequate preparation and numerous attempts were still necessary.

…

Outside, as the bell rang a second time, Ye Qingyan stepped out, affectionately calling out to Uncle Xingming.

Then, at the corner of his eye, he looked towards the Earth Fire Room next door, feeling a bit disappointed at seeing no opening.

He waited until the last person was done before taking out several jade bottles, and he looked at Ye Xingming:

“Uncle Xingming, did I anger Eleventh Uncle?” Ye Qingyan couldn’t help but ask.

Ye Xingming glanced at the spirit pills delivered, noticing that there were still a few Spirit Nourishing Pills exuding pill fragrance, and immediately asked:

“Did you refine all these Spirit Nourishing Pills just now?” Ye Xingming wasn’t concerned about whether Ye Jingcheng was upset; he merely observed Ye Qingyan, realizing that his pill refining skills were exceptionally high, already able to produce spirit pills with spirit fragrance.

To know that the latter was only fourteen years old, at the Qi Cultivation Third Layer, many clan members at that age and cultivation would end up refining Fasting Pills into lumps of black coal.

“I followed Eleventh Uncle’s method to refine them!” Ye Qingyan couldn’t help but say.

“It’s nothing, your Eleventh Uncle is the patriarch, if he had any complaint, he would have said it long ago. He must be refining some important spirit pill inside now. Furthermore, in the clan, you should call him Patriarch, though privately calling him Eleventh Uncle is fine.” Ye Xingming carefully instructed.

Even though Ye Qingyan was highly regarded by Ye Jingcheng, Ye Xingming still needed to provide focused guidance.

Otherwise, the patriarch’s authority would be undermined, and that would not be proper.

“Thank you, Uncle.” Ye Qingyan was immensely delighted upon hearing this.

Immediately, his eyebrows raised, eyes filled with determination.

“Uncle, I also want to choose a fire attribute spirit beast and then go to the Taihang Market.”

“Sure, you have ambition, but before that, first refine the Cyan Spirit Pill!” Ye Xingming nodded, rubbing Ye Qingyan’s head, his eyes also shining with light.

To someone over seventy years old, what could be more joyous than seeing outstanding descendants of the family?

…

In the Earth Fire Room, as the blazing light swirled once more, Ye Jingcheng began the furnace ignition again.

This time the spirit medicine was also for the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid.

Compared to the Purple Spirit Concentration Liquid, the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid was more complex, as it is universally acknowledged to elevate the possibility of advancing the Purple Mansion by three layers.

At auction, it even fetched a price of over two hundred thousand.

This was sufficient to demonstrate the value of the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid.

After completing the Purple Spirit Concentration Liquid, Ye Jingcheng had rehearsed it six times, and he had also tried refining with a large number of auxiliary medicines to make attempts.

Once confirmed, he started this furnace.

The Red Flame Fox had its cultivation level significantly strengthened again since half a month ago, and the flames it spewed were relaxed and effortless.

This time, it went more smoothly than refining the Purple Spirit Concentration Liquid. With the spiritual light completely transforming into six masses of spirit liquid, Ye Jingcheng also took out his only Purple Jade Fruit.

As the Purple Jade Fruit entered the furnace, Ye Jingcheng’s breathing became slightly heavy.

The Red Flame Fox began to use its Phantom, with four Red Flame Fox Spirit Shadows controlling the flames from four directions, smelting the pill liquid.

At this moment, the pill furnace also started to emit a long and slender humming.

This made Ye Jingcheng’s heart leap to his throat.

His attention was unprecedentedly focused, constantly adjusting the flame intensity and controlling the spirit liquid within the pill furnace according to actual conditions.

After maintaining this for half a stick of incense, the humming finally ceased, leaving Ye Jingcheng drenched in cold sweat, yet he dared not relax.

Once the golden spirit liquid fully transformed into Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, Ye Jingcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, this Purple Mansion Jade Liquid’s quality was not perfect, let alone having spirit fragrance or spirit shadow.

Ye Jingcheng once again activated the Spirit Raising Secret Technique.

Finally, as the furnace lid opened, the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid was successfully refined.

However, even with the Spirit Raising Secret Technique, it hadn’t reached the level of spirit fragrance.

But for Ye Jingcheng, it was already adequate.

Now, he was prepared for everything; he just needed to temper his mindset, not repeating the same mistake during the Heart Demon Tribulation as last time.

Ye Jingcheng meticulously stored the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, started wiping the pill furnace again, and once everything was in place, he looked at the Red Flame Fox.

“Once we return to the courtyard, I will let you swallow the Cyan Yang Flame, whether it’s a blessing or a curse, we’ll bear it together!” Ye Jingcheng’s words were resounding and firm!
