Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 630: Chapter 487: Squeezing So Hard

Wujiao Island, a piece of land near the Outer Sea, located outside Purple Wood Island.

Ye Jingcheng concealed his presence, riding the Blue Spirit Shuttle, and entered the island.

To his surprise, however, there was no Ye Haifei or Ye Xingyu on the island, only

the ready Ye Haicheng and Ye Xuefan.

Both were in the Middle Stage of Purple Mansion, and with a few spirit beasts, they were not afraid even facing the Late Stage of Purple Mansion.

“The Qingling Trading Association might have some tricks up their sleeves, so we all landed inside with the Tai Cang Turtle, making it more convenient in case we need to silence someone!” Ye Xuefan drew out the Beast Communication Pattern after confirming their identity with Ye Jingcheng, explaining.

This collaboration with the Qingling Trading Association to plot against the True Monarch of Five Elements’ treasure was definitely one of the Ye Family’s riskiest endeavors.

On the surface, Qingling Trading Association was just one of many associations under Medicine King Valley, but the major powers knew that behind Qingling Trading Association was a True Monarch from the Cultivation Realm, Medicine King Valley, of Zhao Kingdom.

The Ye Family exploited some loopholes in the Heavenly Dao Oath to secretly send people, and they naturally worried about Qingling Trading Association doing the same.

However, the Ye Family had the advantage over Qingling Trading Association, being in the shadows while Qingling Trading Association was in the open.

“Also, your Dragon Ancestor is on the way, but your Second Ancestor needs to stay at Celestial Cloud Islands to deter any small-time troublemakers and prevent the Qinghe Sect from noticing, so they can’t make it!” Ye Xuefan anticipated Ye Jingcheng about to speak, adding promptly.

“Alright!” Ye Jingcheng nodded, relieved, knowing that no amount of caution was too much against Qingling Trading Association.

Even a wasted trip was better than regretting it if something went wrong.

The Qingling Trading Association in the Luoyun Islands was on par with the Luoyun True Monarch.

As for whether the Earth Dragon Demon King would come, the Ye Family had no doubts.

The Star Sea Fruit awaited maturity, and the Ye Family was collecting Beast Souls; the Earth Dragon Demon King was the last one hoping for trouble for the Ye Family.

“When will Seventh Grandfather and the others arrive?” Ye Jingcheng asked.

“Hai Fei is expected in about three days, that’s the agreed time. They’ll pass through here and take the Spirit Beast Bracelet!” Ye Xuefan didn’t conceal anything.

Sure enough, after waiting for a day, the Earth Dragon Demon King, dressed in a Golden Robe, appeared before them.

“I hope I’m not late!” The Earth Dragon Demon King appeared very relaxed.

“Right on time!” Ye Xuefan replied.

Then Ye Haicheng released the Tai Cang Turtle.

As soon as the Tai Cang Turtle saw Ye Jingcheng, it stroked its beard, ready to put on the airs of a sage senior and properly scold Ye Jingcheng.

After all, how could he have been in seclusion for so long!

Causing it to miss out on the taste of Treasure Light for over seven years.

But seeing the Earth Dragon Demon King and Ye Xuefan behind, it hesitated and withdrew.

The words were swallowed back.

Although Ye Xuefan was kind-hearted, he was the cruelest to outsiders, compared to the Ye Family’s own.

“Little Turtle, open the space, and wait here for Hai Fei, also check if anyone else is following!” Ye Xuefan instructed.

“Yes, Fourth Elder!” The Tai Cang Turtle nodded obediently.

The space opened, and the three of them entered.

Ye Jingcheng observed that the Turtle Ancestor Grotto Heaven was still vast, at least ten times larger than his Stone Spirit Grotto Heaven.

Yet Ye Jingcheng found it reasonable, as the Turtle Ancestor Grotto Heaven had been developed over a hundred years.

While his Stone Spirit Grotto Heaven was only a few decades old, and the Turtle Ancestor was Tier Three, his own Stone Spirit Grotto Heaven was only Tier Two, making breakthroughs and advancements more difficult.

Naturally, Ye Jingcheng was extremely intrigued by the scenery within the Turtle Ancestor Grotto Heaven.

He released his Divine Sense, quickly discovering the vast numbers of ordinary beasts and low-tier spirit beasts inside.

There were many Mountain-devouring Rats, Forest Pigs, and Cloud Horn Deer bred here, as well as a huge Spirit Lake, with many Red Section Fish and Star-Feeding Fish.

Additionally, there were about ten thousand mortals living inside.

Even seven or eight Spirit Veins were present.

And several ore veins, which intrigued Ye Jingcheng, as the Turtle Ancestor had once mentioned the secret technique for generating ore veins.

But upon closer inspection, he discovered it was merely ordinary Tier One Lower Grade Red Iron Ore, and he lost interest.

The Turtle Ancestor had spent so long achieving this, his own research wouldn’t yield much result; he’d be better off enhancing some Spirit Veins, to speed up the growth of Spirit Medicine.

After a round of observation, Ye Jingcheng, like the rest, established a cave mansion, and sat in quiet meditation.

…

During summer, the sky was azure and clear. In Celestial One City, atop a restaurant, three plump Loose Cultivators in hemp clothes walked out at a slow pace.

“This restaurant is nice, but it’s expensive. The ladies are charming, but it’s wearying…” The fattest cultivator rubbed his hands, his eyes narrowed to slits, humming a ditty, his head bobbing.

Of course, if one were to observe closely, they would find that among the three, two shared the same pupil shines, only their bodies differed.

Having exited the restaurant, they quickly flew away.

Meanwhile, in the opposing restaurant, two individuals sat facing each other.

“Do you think they’ve already left?” one burly man whispered.

“Impossible, we’ve been watching here, and there hasn’t been anyone or any duo matching their aura and cultivation, plus the two Qingling Tokens are still in the room. I just confirmed with the waiter, there are still two people inside!”

The middle-aged man with a mole was obviously more shrewd. When he mentioned this, he glanced at the Sound Transmission Talisman and immediately cursed inwardly.

“Even called two prostitutes now!!!”

They had been on watch for nearly a month, and had spent quite a few Spirit Stones on drinks.

If they had known this earlier, they would have taken turns calling a few Furnace Cauldrons to cultivate for a while!

Of course, complaints were just that. They still watched attentively, feeling a bit more at ease. Chief Steward Qing was newly appointed, and reportedly had strong backing in Zhao Kingdom, and was very reputable in the Luoyun Islands.

Naturally, they didn’t want to offend this person!

The two continued their watch for three more days and saw the three fat men return again.

All three had gleaming eyes and continued humming a catchy tune.

“This restaurant is nice, just expensive, the girls are charming, but it’s exhausting… ”

The two couldn’t help but get annoyed.

Half an hour later, the slightly plump cultivator spoke consecutively:

“They’re moving!”

“They went out!” The middle-aged man with a mole also watched as the two cultivators, wearing Spirit-Blocking Robes, walked away from the restaurant entrance.

One of them, even with a Spirit-Blocking Robe, still reached out to pinch a plump, rounded part of a female cultivator at the restaurant’s door, squeezing hard enough to deform it slightly.

Amidst a burst of teasing scolds, they left laughing.

The fat cultivator observing nearby was left staring, dumbfounded:

“That pinch was really deep!”

…

At the junction of the Luoyun Islands and the Celestial Cloud Islands, the Cyan Sky Shadow landed on one of the small islands.

With a cautious expression, he looked at a token for a full incense stick time before relaxing.

The more important the matter, the more careful one must be.

In a few years, it would be the twelve hundredth birthday of the Medicine King Valley’s True Monarch Qing Hong. If he could bring the True Monarch of Five Elements’ inheritance there,

he wouldn’t have to worry about resources before breaking through to the Golden Core.

This was also why he had rushed from the Zhao Kingdom to the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain with great effort.

“Lord Qing, they have already agreed to meet on an island a thousand miles north!” said a man in a black robe behind the Cyan Sky Shadow.

“Address him as Chief Steward Qing!” The Cyan Sky Shadow gave a cold look.

“Yes, Chief Steward Qing!” the man corrected himself repeatedly.

The two also controlled a Tier Two High-Grade Spirit Shuttle, heading towards that island.

It was a small island barely a hundred feet in circumference.

An Eye-Blocking Technique of Tier One was also set up on it.

When the two arrived, a voice came from inside.

“Is it the Chief Steward of the Cyan Spirit Trading Association?”

“It is. May I ask if you brought the Spirit Diagram?” Cyan Sky Shadow also replied coldly.

“Naturally, it has been brought.” Ye Haifei’s voice became the same as at the market the other day.

A Jade Talisman also appeared in his hand, where there happened to be two Spirit Diagrams.

“But Chief Steward Qing, we have two, and you only have one. If we go together and split fifty-fifty, I don’t think it’s fair!” Ye Haifei said.

“Oh, then according to what Daoist friend’s opinion, how should it be divided?” Cyan Sky Shadow was not angered.

“Other than the inheritance, a seventy-thirty split! Inheritance divided equally, and we must swear a Heavenly Dao Oath not to disclose the treasure hunting!”

“At most sixty-forty. Without my Treasure Diagram, Daoist friend might not find the cave mansion’s clue!” Cyan Sky Shadow’s expression darkened as he outright refused.

“Fine, sixty-forty!” After agreeing, they each took out five-colored Spirit Diagrams.

As soon as the three five-colored Spirit Diagrams appeared, they seemed to come alive, indeed fitting together.

Finally forming a complete Treasure Diagram, the pattern on it even changed, with the final route appearing divergent.

Pointing to a location in the outer sea of the Luoyun Sea Domain.

Upon seeing this, Ye Haifei finally understood why they couldn’t find it before. Without all three Spirit Diagrams, the route was incorrect.

“Swish!” At that moment, Ye Haifei suddenly slashed with a sword, cutting the Spirit Diagram back into its previous form, snatching the largest piece into his hand.

“This…” Cyan Sky Shadow’s brow immediately furrowed, cold air emanating!

“Chief Steward Qing, we are merely Loose Cultivators. If Daoist friend intends to harm us, we have no means of countering and can only hold on to the Spirit Diagram. After all, many cave mansion inheritance keys are the Treasure Diagrams!” Ye Haifei cautiously spoke.

Cyan Sky Shadow’s expression returned to normal, holding the remaining Treasure Diagram in his hand.

“Then there’s no time to lose, let’s set off now!” Cyan Sky Shadow said.

Immediately, the four of them controlled two Spirit Ships and headed towards the outer sea!
