Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 800: Chapter 579: It’s Different, Ice Spirit Root (Double Chapter)

This is a secret defense technique that can enhance one’s self-preservation ability.

Although things went smoothly this time, there were actually many risks.

For example, when leaving, if it wasn’t for Ye Shengyi entering his Grotto Heaven in advance, even if he could defeat Qingxuan Yuan, it would definitely be a Pyrrhic victory.

Such as the cultivator fleeing afterward, he might not have thought that the real body of that person still remained there.

After all, with the addition of the concealing magical artifact and secret technique, the concealment was indeed very effective.

Ye Jingcheng did not hesitate and sat cross-legged in the pavilion.

The sky was completely dark, but the Spirit Lake was filled with bright Moon Spirit Pearls.

The light reflected by these Moon Spirit Pearls made the Golden Light Bamboo even brighter. Ye Jingcheng, sitting in the pavilion, could only feel resplendent, as if it appeared more grand and luxurious.

Ye Jingcheng shook his head, smiled slightly, took out the Purple Jade Cold Bed, and began to ingest the Golden Ganoderma Fruit.

The Golden Ganoderma Fruit had no distinctive taste, similar to ordinary apricots. Once in his mouth, it transformed into a surge of spiritual power, flowing into his body, and soon he couldn’t feel it anymore.

However, at this moment, Ye Jingcheng also noticed a significant increase in his sensitivity to external Earth Attribute Spiritual Energy. For a while, the progress of the Earth Phase began to visibly speed up.

Ye Jingcheng’s expression became more joyous.

Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but immerse himself in cultivation.

…

The night passed without words, and as dawn appeared, Ye Jingcheng opened his eyes, feeling completely relaxed.

Moreover, his cultivation had once again visibly improved.

Especially the progress of Earth Phase Spiritual Power was not far behind the Fire Phase.

For a moment, Ye Jingcheng found his direction again.

He wanted a balance of the Five Phases, and besides cultivating more talented spirit beasts, he could also enhance the talent of one of his spirit roots.

Of course, treasures like the Golden Ganoderma Fruit are among the rarest in the Cultivation Realm, and almost no one with a Dao heart would sell such a spirit fruit. If a sect or family acquired it, even if their future seemed bleak, they would reserve such a spirit fruit for the family.

Ye Jingcheng stood up and began to inspect the entire Grotto Pocket World.

The Grotto Heaven was constantly evolving, and now it wasn’t much smaller than Lingyun Peak in scope.

It contained mountain peaks, a Spirit Lake, a Medicine Garden, and a Bamboo Forest.

In the sky, there was Spiritual Radiance, and on the ground, there was a Spiritual Spring, while various spirit beasts were raised there.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingcheng took out a Spirit Beast Bag, which contained four Thousand-legged Frost Centipedes.

The talent of these Frost Centipedes was also quite exceptional, belonging to spirit insects.

However, Ye Jingcheng did not want to raise them; he planned to keep only two for developing pill formulas and give the remaining two to the family.

In his view, Ye Xingqun’s spirit insects were still somewhat lacking, even though he previously gave a Cold Toad to the latter.

With this thought, Ye Jingcheng left the Grotto Heaven.

After all, he was still the patriarch and needed to handle some affairs within the family in these coming days.

He exited the Grotto Heaven, returned to his room, and found that Chu Yanqing had come out of seclusion, resting under the Spirit Tree while counting Spiritual Almonds.

She seemed to be calculating how many days until the Spiritual Almonds would be fully ripe.

“Yanqing,” Ye Jingcheng spoke with a smile while handing over a few Jade Bottles.

Inside these Jade Bottles were spirit pills useful for the early stage of the Purple Mansion, rewards from his recent journey that he had no use for, so he gave them all to Chu Yanqing.

Ye Jingcheng did not intend to be stingy with his wife.

“Brother Cheng, I haven’t even finished refining the spirit pills you gave me last time,” Chu Yanqing said, somewhat reluctant to accept.

“I can’t use these anymore!” Ye Jingcheng insisted.

Only then did Chu Yanqing accept all the spirit pills, her face blushing.

Whether or not these spirit pills were refined by Ye Jingcheng, at least they were given by him.

She knew that many Dao couples in the Cultivation Realm fought fiercely over cultivation resources.

Ye Jingcheng’s generosity towards her touched her deeply.

But then, she pulled out a chain.

At the end of the chain was a jade pendant resembling a Spiritual Almond.

It was fresh and vibrant, yet very full.

He could see that this jade pendant was a Tier Three Lower-grade Divine Soul Spiritual Artifact, momentarily surprised by Chu Yanqing’s artifact refining skills.

After all, Chu Yanqing had just broken through to the Purple Mansion but could already refine a Tier Three Lower-grade Divine Soul Spiritual Artifact, indicating that her artifact refining skill was at least at the mid-stage of the third tier.

“How is it? Not inferior to your alchemy talent, right?” Chu Yanqing smiled knowingly, looking somewhat charmingly cute.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng nodding wryly, she stepped forward, opened his hand, and placed the jade pendant in it.

“I don’t need it, you should keep it. I have a Purple Mansion Jade Token!” Ye Jingcheng shook his head.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yanqing shook her head repeatedly.

“No, keep it. This treasure is different!”

“Brother Cheng, whether it’s a Tier Three Magical Treasure or a Tier Four, this is a magical treasure I gave you. With it, I can feel at peace, and it represents me always being with you,” Chu Yanqing spoke earnestly. Ye Jingcheng looked down at the jade pendant, seeing Chu Yanqing’s beautiful and enchanting reflection.

Ye Jingcheng nodded solemnly.

“I’ll always wear it!” He embraced Chu Yanqing.

This was the first time he received such a meaningful gift.

It not only represented the Spiritual Almond but also Chu Yanqing’s love and his fourth granduncle.

“It was depicted based on the best and largest Spiritual Almond, it’s the one your fourth granduncle personally brought for you!” Chu Yanqing explained with a smile, pointing to the largest Spiritual Almond on the apricot tree.

Ye Jingcheng gazed blankly.

After a long while, he reacted, hanging the jade pendant around his neck.

Chu Yanqing handed over some spirit tea:

“Brother Cheng, is there a knack to this Spring Tea? Why isn’t the spirit tea I cultivate as fragrant as yours?”

Ye Jingcheng chuckled at this.

“There’s no secret, just talent!”

Then he produced a Jade Talisman containing Ye Xinghan’s compiled experiences.

“Brother Cheng, rest assured, I will certainly cultivate spirit tea that’s good enough!” Chu Yanqing received the Jade Talisman, beaming once again.

Ye Jingcheng then left the courtyard, having chatted with Chu Yanqing long enough to delay some matters.

And he felt a breath of relief at the moment.

He feared that Chu Yanqing would press for answers on why his Spring Tea was different from others because he possessed Treasure Light.

Under the same conditions, his spirit beasts were smarter, grew faster, and the taste of the spirit plants he cultivated was better with more yield.

But fortunately, Chu Yanqing did not inquire much.

This was crucial for Ye Jingcheng, as he didn’t plan to share the secrets of his abilities with anyone, not even Chu Yanqing.

It wasn’t about distrust, but rather because sometimes, not knowing was the best protection.

Ye Jingcheng walked on the paths of Lingyun Peak, noticing more Immortal Children on the Spirit Mountain.

This was obviously because the Ye Family’s Lingyun Peak had gone through another three-year cycle and had just finished the Immortal Ascension Conference.

The Spirit Mountain also buzzed with discussions, such as who among them was a greater prodigy, or who possessed which spirit root.

Ye Jingcheng, although not eavesdropping intentionally, naturally heard everything with his superior senses as a Purple Mansion cultivator.

He soon arrived at the Assembly Hall.

Unexpectedly, all the Ye Family Members were present this time.

Ye Jingyu, Ye Xinghan, Ye Xingshui, Ye Xingqun, Ye Jing Hu, and others were present. Upon seeing Ye Jingcheng arrive, the clan elders and members greeted him as patriarch.

“Patriarch, this time we have a great joy, our family has given rise to another Abnormal Spirit Root!” Even Elder Ye Xingqun seemed excited at this moment.

After all, it had been thirty-three years since the Ye Family had another Abnormal Spirit Root following Ye Jing Hu.

“What is the Spirit Root this time?” Ye Jingcheng was instantly intrigued.

No wonder the discussions on the mountain peaks had increased with a noticeable phenomenon.

“Ice Spirit Root, and the quality and aptitude of the spirit root are excellent!” Ye Xingqun nodded again.

“However, this time, the members in charge of post-ascension couldn’t contain their excitement and announced it when they returned to the clan mountain!” Ye Xingqun continued.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jing Hu cautiously observed Ye Jingcheng’s reaction.

After all, when Ye Jing Hu was tested to have a Thunder Spirit Root, Ye Jingcheng kept it well-guarded, with nobody knowing about the Thunder Spirit Root.

This time, a leak could potentially attract Taiyi Sect. If the sect sent a Golden Core True Master and directly took them as a disciple, the Ye Family couldn’t easily refuse.

Moreover, such Immortal Seedlings could be easily persuaded by others, as they hadn’t yet attended the Ye Family’s clan studies.

This concern naturally needed to be addressed to Ye Jing Hu, as the younger clan members might not know, but Ye Jing Hu was well aware. This clearly indicated a lack of proper pre-briefing.

After all, some of the Ye Family members who organized the Immortal Ascension Conference lacked sufficient aptitude.

Their understanding of the Ye Family was inadequate and could easily lead to mistakes.
