Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 713: Chapter 529: Divine Soul Confrontation, Enormous Gains (Double-Chapter Request for Monthly Ticket)

The ancestral hall was filled with burning candles, and the heavy candlelight made the already solemn hall seem even more poignant!

This time, the Ye Family didn’t just lose four people; many fell during the beast tide, the reinforcements, and the ambush.

This is undoubtedly a considerable loss for the Ye Family.

Moreover, regarding battle losses, the Ye Family reported more fatalities, prepared more memorial tablets and candles.

In the vast ancestral hall, all this made the candle shadows dance even more.

At the table in the hall, Ye Jingcheng rested on the first zafu on the left side, quietly kneeling with his eyes closed.

A white cloth was wrapped around his forehead.

As the sound of footsteps sounded, Ye Jingcheng still did not turn around.

However, he spoke:

“Since you’re grateful to Uncle Xingyi, why come so late?” Ye Jingcheng had already counted in his heart.

Thus, he did not turn around, yet as soon as that figure moved slightly, Ye Jingcheng would act immediately.

He didn’t turn his head, nor did he want the other to see his gaze directly.

Ye Jingqi didn’t have the beast communication pattern, so when something happened to the Ye Family, he was less likely to be noticed, demonstrating the clever tactics of Master Tianfu.

“Return to the Patriarch, there are tribulation cultivators everywhere, I’m afraid!” Ye Jingqi said, already kneeling beside him before the spirit tablet.

This surprised Ye Jingcheng. Did Master Tianfu truly assume the identity of Ye Jingqi?

And at the moment he bowed his head, Ye Jingcheng felt the surroundings change as a mysterious sensation appeared. His divine sense couldn’t extend beyond the hall, evidently creating a sudden isolation from the world.

This was clearly the imposition of a special array.

Within this array, whether possessed or killed, the outside might not even sense it.

He realized, Master Tianfu indeed had come!

Ye Jingcheng turned around to see, after Master Tianfu kowtowed, he also turned to look at Ye Jingcheng.

His eyes were filled with purple light.

Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but pause, as if deeply immersed in an illusion, and this pause allowed the ’Ye Jingqi’s eyes to become extremely intense, then shoot out, transforming into a purple light cluster, aimed directly at Ye Jingcheng’s body!

Boom!

Ye Jingcheng felt his physical body about to crack, the pain making it hard to breathe, the next moment, he saw a purple cluster of shadows rushing toward him in his sea of consciousness.

And at this moment, inside his mind, a mass of blood light began to awaken and ripple.

The purple light collided with the Blood Light Spiritual Shield.

Master Tianfu became anxious!

“Boom!”

He intensified his effort, and at this moment, his entire soul turned into dazzling light points.

This was clearly the cultivation of Taiqing Spirit Guarding Skill to a thoroughly advanced realm.

As this illumination unfolded, Ye Jingcheng’s original spirit power of the Spirit Wood Demon seemed to become somewhat uncontrollable.

He quickly ceased the technique, ending the spirit cultivation.

And as the somewhat shaky sea of consciousness stabilized under the Blood Light Spiritual Shield, the spirit points disappeared, becoming secure once again.

“You truly didn’t cultivate…”

A divine soul fluctuation, mixed with disappointment and despair, emanated, and simultaneously outside, Ye Xuecang appeared beside the two, with a flying sword in his hand, slashing toward Master Tianfu’s body.

However, a notable golden spirit talisman hung before Master Tianfu’s body.

The talisman transformed into a golden tower, enveloping his body.

Even a Tier Four Magic Sword struggled to break through.

This urgency troubled Ye Xuecang greatly.

He knew, being even a moment late could result in danger for Ye Jingcheng!

He drew out a Tier Four Stone Bead Treasure, aiming to envelop Master Tianfu’s physical form.

If Ye Jingcheng were present, he would surely recognize this as the magic treasure from the Water Spike Turtle, slain by the Earth Dragon Demon King.

As the stone bead was activated.

The golden tower began to petrify, and the spirit talisman dimmed immensely.

As another Tier Four Flying Sword Treasure slashed down.

Ye Xuecang used one of his four swords, Broken Mountain, at this moment.

Clang!

With a piercing loud sound, the terrifying sword light unfolded in the cramped room, thoroughly shattering the stone tower.

Numerous stones exploded, destroying many spirit tablets, revealing Master Tianfu’s true physical form!

Ye Xuecang struck again.

Tier Four Flying Sword Treasure, against a cultivator’s soulless flesh, proved far too easy to execute.

This severed Master Tianfu’s vitality.

Causing his divine soul to start scattering.

A cultivator’s divine soul could be apart from the body, but had to ensure the original body wasn’t destroyed before finding a new host.

Otherwise, once the physical form was ruined, the divine soul, like uprooted spirit grass, would quickly dissipate over time.

His soul shadow conveyed a final yearning, transforming into a purple palace of the Guardian Spirit Palace, barely resisting dispersion, making a desperate charge toward Ye Jingcheng’s Blood Light Spiritual Shield!

For a moment, purple and blood light surged together, but purple light in front of that blood light remained too weak.

Even if it transformed into an indestructible purple palace.

Yet the Blood Light Spiritual Shield was a treasure of One Qi Blood Soul Bead.

Though sanctified by only one layer of Treasure Communication Technique, it couldn’t be broken by Master Tianfu.

Ye Xuecang previously confirmed the Blood Soul Bead had such power before allowing Ye Jingcheng to attempt.

Moreover, at this point, the blood light seemed enraged, enveloping Master Tianfu within.

Accompanied by cries of agony, the purple soul shadow diminished constantly, eventually disappearing within Ye Jingcheng’s sea of consciousness.

Conversely, the One Qi Blood Soul Bead seemed slightly strengthened.

Ye Jingcheng sensed that inside this Blood Soul Bead, it probably resembled the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, containing numerous blood souls.

Yet until he became strong enough to comprehend the second layer of Treasure Communication Technique, he couldn’t utilize it.

Thus, he couldn’t truly know exactly how many blood souls the Blood Soul Bead held.

Ye Jingcheng watched the soul shadow vanish and let out a long sigh of relief.

However, he continued to operate the Blood Soul Bead.

He always felt that Master Tianfu should still have some tricks.

Whether it was those purple eyes or that purple palace soul shadow, both indicated that Master Tianfu’s methods were not ordinary.

So he worried that Master Tianfu might resort to deceit.

And at the next moment, another soul shadow entered.

However, this soul shadow was not anyone else, but Ye Xuecang himself.

“Jingcheng, are you alright?” Ye Xuecang asked.

“Nothing!” Ye Jingcheng replied, and at the same time, the Blood Soul Bead, under the activation of the Treasure Communication Technique, emitted another layer of blood-colored ripples.

This blood light saw Ye Xuecang’s soul shadow, and even seemed to have the tendency to smooth out Ye Xuecang’s soul shadow.

But fortunately, Ye Xuecang quickly exited Ye Jingcheng’s sea of consciousness.

Only then did the Blood Soul Bead return to calmness.

When everything returned to emptiness, Ye Jingcheng began to carefully inspect once more, while he made an effort to control the Treasure Communication Technique.

He might not trust his own divine sense, but he could absolutely trust this spirit treasure that drove all the Eastern Domain Sects insane.

Once he confirmed there were no issues with his body, Ye Jingcheng finally spread out his divine soul, and he finally extended his divine sense outwards, seeing the scene of the ancestral hall clearly.

At this moment, the ancestral hall appeared somewhat broken.

Many memorial tablets had their tops shattered, countless rubble appeared inside the room.

It was obvious that Ye Xuecang exerted significant effort to cut through the flesh of Master Tianfu.

From this, it could also be seen that Master Tianfu underestimated them.

He confidently thought that the Ye Family’s foundation was only the Earth Dragon Demon King.

But in fact, the Ye Family’s top combat power also included Ye Xuecang.

’Ye Jingqi’s body had somehow changed to that of an elderly purple figure.

The elder had a trace of blood between his brows, but his lips were already turning white, eyes slightly closed, and a blood mark on his chest constantly bled, the blood already cold.

He had evidently completely died.

Ye Xuecang watched Ye Jingcheng from the side, and repeatedly spoke.

“Are you alright, Jingcheng, Master Tianfu is already dead!” Ye Xuecang had one hand behind him, where there was also a Spirit Inquiry Talisman.

“No problem, Second Uncle Ancestor, this old Tianfu is finally dead!” Ye Jingcheng understood the meaning behind Ye Xuecang’s question.

He didn’t expose it, but instead smiled with equal joy.

With these words, Ye Xuecang’s frown visibly relaxed a little.

“Since you’re fine, I’ll head back to the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain first; I’ve been delayed for half a month, and maybe the cultivators of the Yun Family think they have an opportunity!” Ye Xuecang said with a smile, and then not only did he not take Master Tianfu’s storage bag, but he also left a new storage bag.

“Cultivate well!” Ye Jingcheng didn’t need to say it; he could clearly tell that this storage bag must contain many treasures.

Among them, Great Demon Cores and spirit medicines were likely the majority, followed by the spiritual materials he needed to gather.

The spiritual formula materials from the Tier Three Stone Block and Tier Three Wood Block.

Ye Xuecang was different from other Ye Family elders, although he didn’t say a single word of concern, and even rarely nagged, his care for the clan members was never any less than the other elders.

Ye Jingcheng watched as Ye Xuecang’s back disappeared inside the ancestral hall, and he sighed without saying much, igniting Master Tianfu’s corpse with a Fireball Skill.

As the fireball reduced its flesh to ashes, leaving only a storage bag, Ye Jingcheng finally joyfully stepped forward, took the storage bag, and began to examine it carefully.

The storage bag, with the fall of Master Tianfu, had already become ownerless, and in almost an instant, Ye Jingcheng opened it.

The variety of treasures in the storage bag was not many.

But each one made Ye Jingcheng somewhat ecstatic.

A jade box contained several pill bottles.

Each pill bottle contained numerous spirit pills.

Among them were the Purple Arrival Pills, which enhance Purple Mansion Cultivation, and the Purple Soul Pills, which enhance the Purple Mansion Divine Soul.

There was even one that shone brilliantly with golden light, so much so that even the jade bottle couldn’t completely conceal it.

It was the Gold Condensing Pill he had seen once before.

The bottle holding the Gold Condensing Pill was made of Tier Three Spirit Jade, but even so, the enormous spiritual energy seemed to create slight cracks.

Aside from that, there was a wooden box containing one Tier Four Magical Treasure and two Tier Three Magical Treasures.

These three magical treasures were in extraordinarily rare shapes: a spirit bottle and two golden lion-shaped treasures.

The aura and appearance alone of these magical treasures signified their extraordinariness, different from ordinary flying swords, clearly prepared by Master Tianfu for use after possession.

Apart from the magical treasures were four jade talismans, which, if Ye Jingcheng wasn’t mistaken, must also record highly special secret techniques or spirit techniques.

With Master Tianfu’s perspective, they were probably not below the Earth Tier.

Finally, aside from this, there was a spirit box crafted from Tier Four Spirit Jade.

In this spirit box, it was obvious it contained an extremely extraordinary spiritual object, but it wasn’t very clear from the outside.

The spirit box was further sealed by numerous Spirit Light Array Patterns, and at its opening, there was a spirit talisman stuck on it, preventing it from being easily opened.

Seeing this treasure for the first time sealed with a spirit talisman and special arrays, Ye Jingcheng became more interested.

He had a feeling in his heart that this might be his biggest gain this time!

However, the array patterns were extremely complex, and even though Ye Jingcheng had already removed the spirit talisman, trying to break them was still a bit difficult.

After attempts to solve it proved unsuccessful, Ye Jingcheng had to give up.

His understanding of arrays was too little, so he could only let Ye Haiyan or even Ye Xuefan take a look for him.

Then, inside the storage bag, there were numerous palm-sized crystal-clear spirit stones, placed inside a small box in the corner.

These were none other than extremely precious upper-grade spirit stones.

Ye Jingcheng counted them, finding that there were exactly fifty upper-grade spirit stones inside.

You should know that one middle grade spirit stone can exchange for a hundred lower grade spirit stones; one upper-grade spirit stone can exchange for a hundred middle grade spirit stones.

And when exchanging in the market, this ratio would be even higher.

To exchange one upper-grade spirit stone for 10,560 lower-grade spirit stones was very common.

After all, the spiritual energy in lower-grade spirit stones was far too mixed, whereas upper-grade spirit stones not only had spiritual energy ten times as rich but were also purer, and many Purple Mansion Golden Core Cultivators would use upper-grade spirit stones to cultivate or heal.

In some special arrays, only upper-grade spirit stones made sense to use, such as teleportation arrays or other special arrays!

This meant that he now had more than fifty thousand in upper-grade spirit stones alone, an astonishing number.

Not to mention the value of the other treasures.
