Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 621: Chapter 482: Urging the Thunder Rhinoceros, Golden Scale Breakthrough (Double Release for Monthly Votes)

Since Ye Jingcheng received the Inheritance Jade, he naturally possessed all of the Ye Family’s Pill Formulas.

He immediately began refining pills.

The Thunder Rhinoceros Insects still followed Ye Jingcheng, as he always infused them with Treasure Light and fed them Spiritual Flesh after each breakthrough.

Today’s procedure, however, was slightly different.

But seeing Ye Jingcheng refining pills in the distance, these Thunder Rhinoceros Insects began swirling in the air like the Five Poison Bees.

The Demon Luring Pill was successfully refined. As a Tier Three Alchemist, in less than half a day, six Demon Luring Pills fell in front of Ye Jingcheng.

Feeling it wasn’t enough, Ye Jingcheng took out more Demon-enticing Grass and began refining again.

This time, the refining went even better, resulting in seven pills.

Ye Jingcheng glanced at his Thunder Rhinoceros Insects, identifying six males and ten females among them.

Thirteen pills were more than enough. Ye Jingcheng called them over and placed them in the previous stone chamber, infusing each with sufficient Treasure Light to ensure they had adequate strength before feeding them the Demon Luring Pills.

Once the pills were consumed, the sixteen Thunder Rhinoceros Insects immediately began to emit a special scent…

Ye Jingcheng set up the Array and left the scene.

The scent was overwhelmingly strong, so Ye Jingcheng decided not to watch, preferring to return once the situation settled.

He took out his Roc Fish and the newly acquired Tier Two Water Attribute Demon Beast Inner Core.

He directly fed it to the Roc Fish.

This Roc Fish had considerable potential. After advancing to tier two, it could consume Tier Two Roc Fish Pills to enhance its bloodline.

As for the Tier Two Water Attribute Demon Beast Inner Core, he had plenty of it now.

Once the Roc Fish let out a couple of soft cries and fell into slumber, Ye Jingcheng found himself at leisure again.

He practiced the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture, feeling his True Essence improving noticeably, which brought a smile to his face.

Four days passed quickly; inside the insect chamber, sixteen Thunder Rhinoceros Insects lay down, with over one hundred eighty insect eggs left behind.

Though the number of eggs doesn’t seem large, it’s well-known that Thunder Rhinoceros Insects are noted for producing few eggs.

Unlike the Five Poison Bees, whose Insect Queens can lay hundreds of eggs at a time.

Laying five or six eggs would be considered impressive for them.

In Ye Jingcheng’s case, each female Thunder Rhinoceros Insect laid nearly twenty eggs on average.

The eggs were about the size of a fingernail, with lightning flickering inside.

As Ye Jingcheng approached, the Treasure Book within him began to glow.

Most of the Thunder Rhinoceros Insects within it had one or two layers of Spiritual Light.

One particular Thunder Rhinoceros Insect, however, had four layers of Spiritual Light!

This discovery delighted Ye Jingcheng immensely.

It indicated that this one could become the Insect King!

This was an unexpected gain for Ye Jingcheng; his previous attempts to nurture Five Poison Bees never yielded more than three layers of Spiritual Light.

This time, one Thunder Rhinoceros Insect had four layers of Spiritual Light.

Its potential even surpassed that of the four Hidden-Wing Thunder Rhinoceros Insects.

Of course, the four Hidden-Wing Thunder Rhinoceros Insects could also be nurtured.

However, for Ye Jingcheng, reaching the Purple Mansion and letting them develop further before nurturing them was clearly more beneficial.

Ye Jingcheng infused the sixteen Thunder Rhinoceros Insects with Treasure Light, also aiding in healing their injuries.

Even so, it was evident that all sixteen had significantly weakened.

To nurture them again would likely take another decade or so.

Even the Treasure Book couldn’t rejuvenate them.

Ye Jingcheng didn’t push further but instead set up the Array again and embarked on another demon-hunting adventure!

…

A year passed by.

On a massive island covered with green fir trees.

Amidst a sudden loud cry, a gigantic Profound Wood Eagle flew back from a distance, approaching a huge nest.

But, just as it neared the nest, a rippling wave appeared.

The next moment, an Array materialized.

Simultaneously, a green light swept over.

Momentarily immobilizing the Profound Wood Eagle Great Demon.

Then, the Celestial River Bead and Blazing Flame Fan appeared one after the other.

The Profound Wood Eagle widened its eyes, struggled desperately, dodged the Five-Colored Spirit Fire but was pierced by the Celestial River Bead.

Understand that the Celestial River Bead, formed from Profound Yuan Heavy Water, possessed an incredibly terrifying weight. It penetrated the Profound Wood Eagle’s body and exploded, causing the creature to wail in pain.

It was then beheaded by a sword Ye Jingcheng unleashed.

Soon after, a Four-Colored Cloud Deer emerged from the Array ahead and hurriedly devoured the Profound Wood Eagle’s Spirit Beast Meat.

As the essence Qi of the Spirit Beast Meat was consumed, the Profound Wood Eagle Inner Core was also grabbed by the Four-Colored Cloud Deer, which looked back after a glance and saw a cultivator dressed in green nodding in approval.

It lifted its neck and swallowed the Inner Core.

At the same time, a stream of Wood Attribute Spiritual Light flowed around.

“Finally about to break through!” Ye Jingcheng exclaimed in immense joy upon witnessing this!

Throughout the year, he had been tirelessly searching for Wood Attribute Demon Beasts and Wood Attribute Spiritual Medicines for the Four-Colored Cloud Deer to absorb and consume.

Finally, it was about to advance to the third tier.

Ye Jingcheng collected the remaining carcass of the Profound Wood Eagle, along with the Four-Colored Cloud Deer that was about to break through, and then proceeded to the tree’s canopy to retrieve a piece of Thousand-Year Xuan Wood Ganoderma beside the old nest.

After dismantling the Array, he released the Blue Spirit Shuttle, soaring towards other islands.

…

In the cultivation world, time flies by unnoticed. Two more years drifted by, on Dust Concealment Island, Ye Jingcheng awoke from his cultivation, feeling a surge of terrifying Earth Phase True Essence pouring out from the Beast Communication Pattern towards him.

A joyful expression spread across his face instantly.

This clearly indicated that the Golden Scale Beast had made a breakthrough and successfully advanced.

He proceeded towards where the Golden Scale Beast resided.

The Golden Scale Beast bounded out from the Array ahead of him.

Its form became more agile, and its large roar was as resounding as a bull’s bellow, incredibly powerful.

At this moment, its entire body was covered in gold-colored Scale Armor. These scales were denser than before, akin to fish scales, embellished with golden barbs.

Its forelimbs were more robust, sheathed in thick Spirit Patterns.

The most noticeable change was a pair of inch-long horns growing from its head.

Its eyes gleamed golden.

The roaring was astounding.

“Roar, Great Jade Snake!”

“Roar, Red Flame Fox!”

“Roar! Big Yellow Bird!”

…

Golden Scale Beast seemed almost manic.

It called out to the other three Spirit Beasts, deliberately excluding its master.

With such an arrogant demeanor, Ye Jingcheng almost mistook it for a triumphant return of a king!

However, the Golden Scale Beast’s aura hadn’t crossed the Early Stage of Purple Mansion to reach the Middle Stage of Purple Mansion.

Yet this was not outside Ye Jingcheng’s expectations, as there was indeed a chasm between the Early Stage and Middle Stage of Purple Mansion.

Even though the Golden Scale Beast possessed a Breathing Technique!

“Master!” Finally realizing Ye Jingcheng, the Golden Scale Beast greeted him obediently.

Yet once it approached, it continued looking for the Red Flame Fox!

“Stop searching; you’re not a match for the Red Flame Fox yet!” Ye Jingcheng commented with exasperation.

“Roar!” The Golden Scale Beast was instantly filled with defiance!

It turned its head aside, displaying its discontent clearly!
