Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 691: Chapter 517: Jingteng’s Thoughts and Reasons (Double-Length, Monthly Ticket Requested)

“Thank you, Elder Taihao, this is a token of appreciation from the Ye Family for the disciples of Illusion Peak!” Ye Jingyun took out a storage bag and placed some precious spirit medicines inside.

Supreme Taihao smiled but did not accept them:

“Patriarch Ye is now a junior brother of mine; how can these external gifts compare with the bonds of brotherhood? Ye Daoist, kindly take them back!”

Hearing this, Ye Jingyun awkwardly retrieved them.

He continued to pour tea for Supreme Taihao and mentioned picking some specialties from Lingyun Peak and some young spirit beasts for the other cultivators of Illusion Peak.

Then, he started talking about interesting stories from the Ye Family and the situation at Void Spirit Ridge.

However, if you sensed carefully, you would find beneath the surface warmth, there were some imperceptible barriers.

Ye Jingyun and Ye Jingli were clan cultivators, so how could they not mind the fact that Jade Dragon Valley and Illusion Peak did not come out, leading to many Ye Family members being injured or killed?

But given the circumstances, even if hatred brimmed in their hearts, they could not show it.

Of course, this might all be under the orders of Master Tianfu.

Meanwhile, at one side of the hall, Ye Jingteng was also showing interest in Ye Jing Hu.

“Jing Hu, I’m Jingteng of the Jing Generation, do you have Thunder Spirit Root?”

“Yes, Brother,” Ye Jing Hu replied hesitantly but still spoke up.

“What tier is your cultivation technique, do you have spirit pills for auxiliary cultivation, and do you have good magical artifacts?” Ye Jingteng continued to inquire, as if he had discovered a new continent.

After all, the Ye family members Ye Jingteng had brought in earlier all had average aptitude.

Initially, he was enthusiastic, but since all these Ye Family members relied on him for cultivation resources yet progressed too slowly, he lost interest.

He started letting all Ye Family members be free-range, only occasionally providing benefits, intending to focus on nurturing any outstanding seedlings.

The performance of these Ye Family members in the Ye Family was mediocre, and competing with other Taiyi Sect disciples naturally yielded poorer results.

These years, he was deeply troubled.

After all, for a typical family, Three Spirit Roots were considered good aptitude, Dual Spirit Roots were geniuses, but in the Sect, only Dual Spirit Roots were acceptable, with Celestial Spirit Root and Abnormal Spirit Root being geniuses.

Among those Ye Jingteng took away from the Ye Clan, only one or two had Three Spirit Roots, and the rest had Four Spirit Roots, their mentality was also not ideal.

Few showed significant potential in the Sect.

But in his opinion, if Ye Jing Hu with Thunder Spirit Root went to Taichang Mountain Range, it would definitely be different.

Plus, with Ye Jingcheng being a disciple of Master Tianfu, their Ye Family’s process of taking over Illusion Peak would definitely make significant progress, resources could be reorganized, allowing him to break through to the Purple Mansion.

The grand plan of the Ye Family would be realized!

“No need to trouble yourself, Brother. The cultivation techniques Jing Hu practices are all complete, and I have two magical artifacts,” Ye Jing Hu shook his head, not wanting to say more.

Although Ye Jingteng was considered a family member of the Jing Generation, to Ye Jing Hu, there was still some disdain for Jingteng.

Always wanting the Ye Family to send people to the Taiyi Sect, but each time it meant taking a risk for the Ye Family. After all, the Ye Family’s secret realm could only place a Soul Ban of the Ye Family, not the Sect’s Soul Ban.

That would make it too easy for the Ye Family to have problems.

As for the allure of the Sect, Ye Jing Hu didn’t feel it at all.

He now only wanted to hatch the Thunder Roc, then nurture it, enhance his cultivation, and shoulder the responsibility as the Thunder Spirit Root genius of the Ye Family.

Ye Jingteng wanted to say more, but noticed Supreme Taihao starting to get up to leave; although reluctant, he couldn’t defy Supreme Taihao and followed him to Jade Dragon Valley.

As the spiritual ship sailed away, Ye Jingli and Ye Jingyun breathed a sigh of relief.

They watched the departing spiritual ship and the ravaged ridge in the distance.

Worry appeared in their eyes, ultimately all turning toward Lingyun Lake.

They only hoped that Ye Jingcheng was safe.

“Brother Liu, I’m going to deliver the array banner to the Patriarch’s yard!” Ye Jingyun looked over twice and finally decided, heading toward Ye Jingcheng’s yard.

…

At night, as the clan token lit up, Ye Jingcheng awoke from cultivation.

After changing to a new layer of Daoist robe, he left Lingyun Lake and first headed to his own small courtyard.

The array was still the same array. He opened it and a sweet female voice came from the courtyard:

“Jingcheng, the apricots are ripe!”

“Wait a while to pick them, they can grow for a few more days!” Ye Jingcheng said with a smile to Chu Yanqing.

Chu Yanqing loosened the jade talisman she held in her hand.

This was a prior agreement between the two of them, although Chu Yanqing did not know what it meant, she understood that if she did not pick the apricots, everything was fine.

Chu Yanqing wanted to invite Ye Jingcheng inside to have a chat, but saw him vanish into the night.

Chu Yanqing then took out a new array banner and threw it into the darkness.

After a short while, both Ye Jingcheng and the array banner disappeared.

…

Outside Lingyun Peak, Ye Jingcheng exited the mountain and the array; at this moment his appearance, aura, and cultivation all changed.

With the Blood Soul Bead, at this moment, no one could recognize Ye Jingcheng.

He walked into an adjacent peak.

This peak was a beast valley of the Ye Family, where they raised the Mountain-devouring Rats.

However, due to recent beast tides, all the Mountain-devouring Rats had been stored in Spirit Beast Bags, leaving the entire valley unusually empty, but Ye Jingcheng stayed in a cave there.

Spiritual light from the Beast Communication Pattern appeared in his hand.

After a short while, two figures emerged.

“Jingcheng, it’s great that you’re safe!” said Ye Haicheng, with Ye Haiyan beside him.

However, as the two stepped forward, Ye Jingcheng stepped back.

As Ye Family members, they naturally knew they had to show each other the Beast Communication Pattern.

Ye Haicheng and Ye Haiyan promptly complied.

Only then did Ye Jingcheng release the array.

“Grandpa, Sixth Grandpa!” Ye Jingcheng greeted.

“Master Tianfu hasn’t performed possession; I want to know if Master Tianfu went to Earth Dragon Valley!”

“He went; he didn’t go to the Tai Cang Mountain where Cyan Cloud Nunnery is, but headed to Earth Dragon Valley, investigating the Earth Dragon Demon King’s location!” spoke Ye Xuecang from the void.

Ye Xuecang also took Bone Transformation Pill and changed his appearance.

He looked at Ye Jingcheng:

“Jingcheng, do you know your father’s name?”

Clearly, Ye Xuecang wanted to test him further.

“Ye Zhen!” Ye Jingcheng responded, although he had never met him, the old village head had told him.

So, Ye Jingcheng remembered.

Ye Xuecang also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although possession would erode many memories, with too many memories, even if a True Master’s divine sense wanted to digest them, it would take time. At such times, they would choose to remember key content.

As for the mortal father’s name, he would hardly have looked at it.

Especially since Ye Jingcheng had been an orphan from a young age.

“Second Uncle Ancestor, I think I roughly understand what Master Tianfu is looking for; he appears to suspect our cooperation with the Earth Dragon Demon King!”

“He wouldn’t dare act now!” Ye Jingcheng said worriedly.

Even though there was almost no evidence left from the cooperation between the Ye Family and Earth Dragon Valley, it didn’t stop cultivators from speculating.

To an old cultivator like Master Tianfu, he would certainly think it through fully, leaving no traces!

Moreover, the Earth Dragon Demon King knew too much, unlike any Demon Race Demon King, more like a Human Race Golden Core.

“So as long as the Earth Dragon Demon King does not appear, he won’t act!”

“Because during possession, his true body must be nearby!” Ye Jingcheng stated assuredly.

“Hmm, that’s likely, and furthermore, he will certainly summon you to the Taichang Mountain Range soon; we just don’t know what excuse Master Tianfu will use, which you would have no reason to refuse despite needing to consolidate your cultivation!”

Ye Xuecang nodded.

Ye Jingcheng, hearing this, suddenly had a realization!

He suddenly thought of what excuse Master Tianfu would use next.

Once that excuse emerged, even if his cultivation wasn’t well stabilized, he would have to swallow spirit pills and go!

Because he was now a registered disciple of Master Tianfu.

Moreover, this had been publicly acknowledged!

“Second Uncle Ancestor, I will now have Jingyun and Jingli continue supporting Jade Dragon Valley!”

“We must know the situation at Jade Dragon Valley first-hand!”

“If nothing unexpected happens, the Demon Race turmoil in the Taihang Mountain Range is about to be quelled!” Ye Jingcheng stated with certainty!
