Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 839: Chapter 596: Changes in the Grotto Heaven, Completion of the Body Refining Array (Two-in-One)

The afternoon’s insect chirping grew louder, and the bamboo forest seemed unusually noisy.

Ye Jingcheng, after entrusting the Jade Record to Ye Jingfu, prepared to return to the Ye Family’s Lingyun Peak with the ashes of Ye Xinghe.

Of course, by now, he had learned many things, such as Jiang Jinghe going into seclusion and handing over market affairs to his eldest son, Jiang Quanming.

And Jiang Quanming was aligned with the Ye Family.

Meanwhile, the Wei Family had produced two more Foundation Establishments, developing rapidly, possibly with someone’s assistance.

And a few young heroes of the Jin Family had also made breakthroughs.

…

Of course, for Ye Jingcheng, these were just pieces of information to note.

To him, whether Ye Xinghe could return to Lingyun Peak someday was far more important.

Ye Xinghe had labored at Taihang Market all his life, and at the end, it was only right to return to the Clan Mountain.

He couldn’t always remain outside!

The speed of the Tier Three Spiritual Ship was indeed fast, reaching Lingyun Peak by dusk.

The crimson evening glow was particularly lush today, and the entire Lingyun Peak was filled with the sounds of birds.

The Spirit Mountain had risen much higher and looked more beautiful than before.

Ye Jingcheng, with his back turned, looked at the box behind him.

He spoke softly:

“Big Brother, we’re home!” Ye Jingcheng forced a smile, then carried Xinghe’s box from the mountain’s foot all the way to the Ancestral Hall.

After worshiping in the Ancestral Hall for a full hour, he finally left.

He first returned to his own courtyard to have a meal of Spiritual Cuisine with Chu Yanqing, and then headed to Lingyun Lake.

He released the Tai Cang Turtle, which then released some clan elders.

At this moment, Ye Jingyu looked at the Spirit Mountain and couldn’t help but remark:

“Jingcheng is indeed better suited to be Patriarch!”

After all, the Ye Family was thriving.

However, Ye Jingcheng naturally waved it off, knowing that the prosperity of the Ye Family was not solely his accomplishment.

“Xinghe is gone too. I remember when he communicated with beasts, it was me who helped him!” Ye Haicheng couldn’t help but sigh.

Clearly, he also felt Xinghe’s departure and the rare brightness of the Ancestral Hall.

Ye Xuefan said nothing, merely taking out the array to continue improving the array around Lingyun Lake.

“Next, we’ll open a separate Spirit Lake for the regular Red Section Fish and Yellow Jade Fish; here we’ll only raise Star-Feeding Fish and Black Mushroom Fish!” Ye Xuefan said.

His array setup was a Compound Array, absolutely at Tier Three Peak level!

“Also, Jingcheng, I’ve mostly understood the Celestial Spirit Body Refining Array you’ve given me, so just share half of the Body Refining Stele materials with me!” Ye Xuefan added.

This Body Refining Stele was naturally the essence of the Mountain Spirit.

Though Ye Jingcheng, after attaining the Dao, couldn’t set it up himself, it didn’t stop Ye Xuefan from doing so.

Placed on Lingyun Lake, it benefits the Ye Family’s Body Cultivators.

It’s also beneficial for cultivating Ye Jingcheng’s Spirit Beasts.

Initially, Ye Jingcheng intended to place the Celestial Spirit Body Refining Array within his Grotto Heaven, but considering the entire Ye Family, he planned to set it on Lingyun Peak instead.

Ye Xuefan specifically chose a mountain by the lake, using a Flying Sword to level it a bit.

Then he began to slowly set up the Body Refining Array.

He set up the array swiftly, and the array flags flew in and out with great beauty.

Within half a day, the array was already formed.

Ye Jingcheng entered the mountain, finding it indeed laden with some gravity.

Furthermore, as he ascended, the gravity intensified.

If he leapt into the air, the gravity would double.

However, as Ye Jingcheng gauged it, even at the top, it only met the requirements of a Tier Two Peak Body Cultivation.

“At Lingyun Peak, this level is sufficient; I’ll place the remaining materials in your Grotto Heaven!” Ye Xuefan continued.

He knew that Ye Jingcheng needed to enhance the body physique of his Spirit Beasts.

Moreover, for the Ye Family, if they set up a Tier Three Celestial Spirit Body Refining Array, it might attract unwanted scrutiny.

So Ye Xuefan deliberately left many materials to set up another within Ye Jingcheng’s realm.

“Why not set it up on an island…” Ye Jingcheng suggested.

But Ye Xuefan promptly declined.

“No need to place it on an island; if suitable materials are found there, I’d naturally set it up. For now, it’s more important to place it in your Grotto Heaven!” Ye Xuefan said without minding Ye Haige nearby.

Ye Haige and Ye Haicheng were both Body Cultivators, and Ye Haige, in particular, as a Wind Attribute Body Cultivator, was unquestionably top-tier in combat ability among his peers.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng nodded.

He knew he had another task—to break through to the Golden Core as soon as possible. After all, a concern within the Ye Family was if, after the Earth Dragon Demon King broke through to Nascent Soul, Ye Xuecang couldn’t control it.

It required Ye Jingcheng to break through to the Golden Core quickly.

So placing the array in his Grotto Heaven naturally brought many advantages.

Ye Xuefan wasted no time, immediately instructing Ye Jingcheng to open his Grotto Heaven.

At this moment, the rest of the Ye Family’s Purple Mansion was also curious about Ye Jingcheng’s Grotto Heaven.

Especially Ye Haige and Ye Haisheng, who had never been inside before.

This time, Ye Jingcheng did not avoid it, since these were the core members of the Ye Family.

Problems were virtually impossible, and besides, his Grotto Heaven was hardly a secret.

Even the Turtle Ancestor waddled in after them.

As everyone entered Ye Jingcheng’s Grotto Heaven.

The Turtle Ancestor was the first to gape its eyes.

“You reckless kid, you’re wasting too much!”

Its face was full of regret; if it had known earlier, it wouldn’t have made a pact with Ye Haicheng. If it had made a pact when Ye Jingcheng was in Foundation Establishment, it might have been the one changing this Grotto Heaven day by day.

At this moment, it looked at the Wood Demon, thinking that the Wood Demon had wasted its Treasure Light.

Seeing the spirit beasts with rapidly advancing cultivation also seemed a waste of its Treasure Light.

It even saw the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon, which was breaking through!

Breaking through again!

Never taking a break.

Truly enviable to the Turtle!

While the Turtle Ancestor sighed, Ye Haige and Ye Haisheng were also stunned.

Four late-stage Tier Three Hidden-Wing Thunder Rhinoceros Insects, the breakthrough Jade Qilin Flood Dragon, the breakthrough Roc Fish, mid-stage Tier Three Red Flame Foxes, Five-Colored Cloud Deer, Golden Falcon Golden Scale Beast.

The late second-tier White-Browed Cyan Wolf, and over a hundred Thunder Rhinoceros Insects, as well as second-tier Peach Wood Demon, Earthworm, Tier Three Spirit Eye Spring, Tier Three Spirit Soil, six Tier Three Star Pear Wood Demons…

Seeing all this, they even felt that Ye Jingcheng alone could handle all the rest of them!

Besides the astonishment, they also noticed something different.

In Ye Jingcheng’s Grotto Heaven, the Golden Scale Beast was casting magic, the Golden Falcon was casting magic, Earthworm and Jade Ring Rat were renewing the Spirit Soil…

Such relentless activity made them feel like these weren’t just spirit beasts, but each was a hard-working spirit cultivator.

“Jingcheng, so your spirit beasts train every day!” Ye Jingyu murmured at this moment.

Although he knew Ye Jingcheng had other means, like Alchemy, he now realized it was also related to the efforts of the spirit beasts themselves.

No wonder Ye Jingcheng’s Jade Qilin Flood Dragon was close to the late stage of the third tier.

While his Jade Qilin Snake was still at Tier Two Peak.

The difference is fifty or more years of effort!

Ye Jingyu felt he had gained a lot at this moment.

And Ye Haisheng now had no desire left to compete with Ye Jingcheng.

All these spirit beasts of Ye Jingcheng were nurtured by him, only the Earthworm was inherited. To this extent, even in the history of the Ye Family, no one comparable might be found.

Ye Jingcheng is like a reincarnation of an Exiled Immortal.

Of course, at this moment, another person was looking at the White-Browed Cyan Wolf, and that was Ye Haige.

He was a Wind Attribute Cultivator with a Wind Spirit Root, and upon seeing the White-Browed Cyan Wolf, he felt an immediate connection.

Its elegant fur and the cyan-white intertwined brow spirit pattern completely captured his heart.

“Jingcheng, how old is this White-Browed Cyan Wolf, has it ever borne offspring?” Even though Ye Haige felt inappropriate, he still asked.

The White-Browed Cyan Wolf suited him immensely and could enhance his cultivation.

Of course, he wasn’t bold enough to ask for Ye Jingcheng’s wolf but hoped for its offspring.

This was common in the Ye Family; as long as it didn’t involve the spirit beast affecting someone’s cultivation, clan cultivators often sought breeding loans.

Since the White-Browed Cyan Wolf wasn’t Ye Jingcheng’s Lifebound Spirit Beast, mentioning it wasn’t awkward.

But actually, Ye Jingcheng obtained this White-Browed Cyan Wolf from the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, and it wasn’t even ten years old.

But for a spirit beast, that’s acceptable.

“Uncle Hai He, naturally you can, but this White-Browed Cyan Wolf should also be able to break through to the third tier after some time. By then, breeding might be even better!” Ye Jingcheng readily agreed.

He didn’t give Ye Haige the wolf for two reasons: he was reluctant, and keeping the wolf allowed him to continue his research on the White Eyebrow Pill.

If he gave it to Ye Haige, the wolf’s potential might only reach early to mid-stage Golden Core.

“No rush, it’s fine!” Ye Haige nodded repeatedly, his eyes on Ye Jingcheng growing more enthusiastic.

Beside him, Ye Xuefan was already choosing a wild mountain to set up the Celestial Spirit Body Refining Array.

The Celestial Spirit Body Refining Array took half a day to set up.

When the array was completed, there was a boom, as if the ground sunk quite a bit.

Clearly, this third-tier array was pressing down on the Grotto Heaven.

“Jingcheng, place several Celestial Armor Puppets inside, then use this Array Banner to leave a mark on them, so they won’t be affected!”

“Although it can’t reproduce the Earth Shadow Incarnation, it should still be comparable!” Ye Xuefan handed over an Array Banner.

“Thank you, Fourth Uncle!” Ye Jingcheng gave a series of bows, offering a cup of Spirit Tea.

This Spirit Tea was Yunfu Tea cultivated in his Grotto Heaven; it was a second-tier Yunfu Tea.

The fragrance was rich, and though the Spiritual Energy didn’t increase much, the taste improved significantly due to the Treasure Light.

“But remember, don’t set the puppet’s power too high initially, even spirit beasts might not adapt!” Ye Xuefan reminded.

“Alright!” Ye Jingcheng naturally nodded, but he had more than just Celestial Armor Puppets; he also had three Beast Puppets obtained from the Pill Desolate Secret Realm, and the Wood Giant that the Five-Colored Cloud Deer could summon.

These were excellent body-forging targets, no worse than the Mountain Spirit Incarnation.

They could even provide mutual training opportunities.

After all, the Five-Colored Cloud Deer had limited means, but if it could train the Wood Giant properly, Ye Jingcheng’s strength could increase significantly.

After setting up the array, Ye Xuefan and others left the Grotto Heaven, but the Turtle Ancestor lingered.

It was still drinking the Spiritual Spring Water from the Tier Three Spirit Eye Spring.

Which the Peach Wood Demon resented, but it was no match for the Turtle Ancestor.

“Check if your Spirit Eye Spring is properly arranged. On this matter, this Turtle Ancestor speaks with authority!” the Turtle Ancestor declared with righteousness as Ye Jingcheng looked over.
