Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 856: Chapter 604: Jin Family’s Ambitions, The Jin Family’s Glorious Achievements (Double-length Chapter)

At this moment, another breakthrough in Foundation Establishment was achieved, marking the Ye Family’s addition of another Foundation Establishment Body Cultivator.

There were a few unfamiliar faces within the Array.

It seems that the Inner Hall of the Ye Family has gained a few more cultivators.

After watching for a while, Ye Jingcheng headed straight to the Assembly Hall.

During this seclusion, which lasted five years, he realized there were some family matters to address. Additionally, some Spirit Fruits needed to be distributed, and he had to collect the Spirit Materials the family had gathered for him.

Items such as the Golden Light Bamboo Shoots from the Golden Light Bamboo Forest, Star Pears, and sunflower seeds would be distributed to the family.

Of course, the family would also award him some Contribution Points.

In the Assembly Hall of the Ye Family, Ye Xingqun and several family elders were present, as today was also the Ye Family’s triennial Immortal Ascension Conference.

The Assembly Hall was quite lively at the moment.

Various guiding family members of the Ye Family were returning with their respective family members.

Most of these guiding family members were at Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer or Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, existing on the threshold of the Ye Family’s Inner Hall assessment.

These family members are more trustworthy, and even if the Ye Family produced a genius, the information leakage would be minimal.

As they gathered and met, they all exchanged slight smiles and mutual greetings.

Unlike before, when people would openly discuss how many Dual Spirit Roots or Three Spirit Roots were present within.

“Patriarch!” Seeing Ye Jingcheng, many family members expressed delight and cupped their hands in respect.

“Uncle Xingqun, Brother Liu, Seventh Sister!” Ye Jingcheng also greeted.

“You members of the Qing Generation are fortunate today, as the Patriarch will bestow upon you your generation names!” Ye Xingqun spoke while looking at the Immortal Seedlings, who were about ten years old.

These children were somewhat bewildered at the moment.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng felt rather awkward.

After all, as Patriarch, he rarely bestowed generation names upon the family.

Indeed, it was time for the Ye Family to consider a change of Patriarch.

He had served as Patriarch for over forty years.

Subsequently, Ye Jingcheng smoothly participated in the naming ceremony and the Ancestral Hall recognition process for the family members, which took up three hours.

This time among the Ye Family’s Immortal Seedlings, there were no Abnormal Spirit Roots or Dual Spirit Roots, only five with Three Spirit Roots, nineteen with Four Spirit Roots, and seventeen with Five Spirit Roots.

Although Ye Jingcheng was somewhat disappointed, it was as expected; Five Spirit Roots and Four Spirit Roots are common, while Dual Spirit Roots and Abnormal Spirit Roots are rare.

Moreover, for the Ye Family, as long as they possess good skills, resilient personalities, and a strong sense of family honor, they can enter the Inner Hall and achieve a second transformation in their lives.

“Patriarch, have you made another breakthrough?” Ye Xingqun was in high spirits, despite the fact that this batch of Immortal Seedlings wasn’t particularly impressive.

Nonetheless, the Ye Family’s development in recent years has been described as rapid.

Both he and Ye Jingyun had broken through to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, and at the same time, Ye Qingyan, Ye Qingwen, and Ye Jingting all achieved Foundation Establishment.

There were over ten Foundation Establishment Race People at the Ye Family’s Lingyun Peak.

In the past, this would have been considered a golden age for the Ye Family.

Currently, Ye Xingqun was also aware of the existence of the Ye Family’s Hidden Island and Hidden Peak, but such knowledge left him somewhat intoxicated.

In addition, the Ye Family’s trade with the Jia Family is bolstered by the support from Illusion Peak.

The financial state has always been outstanding.

“Indeed, a minor breakthrough, Uncle Xingqun. It seems you’ve not only advanced to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment but also succeeded in breeding the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect!” Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but chuckle.

He had previously given some Thunder Rhinoceros Insects to Ye Xingqun.

“Haha, you can’t hide it from the Patriarch!” Ye Xingqun admitted openly.

Not long ago, his Thunder Rhinoceros Insects produced over eighty Spirit Eggs.

If all goes well, his Thunder Rhinoceros Insects could number over eighty, forming a Battle Array, making him formidable even against general Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

“Patriarch, here are the financial reports of recent years and the family payroll expenses!” After brief pleasantries, Ye Xingqun handed over a Jade Record for Ye Jingcheng to review.

Upon glancing at it, Ye Jingcheng’s face blossomed into a smile.

After more than forty years of development under his tenure, the Ye Family now numbers over three hundred.

Of these, true descendants of the Ye bloodline total just two hundred forty-eight.

Yet, this was still quite an increase from before.

Additionally, counting the members on the Hidden Peak, the Ye Family members could potentially double.

The Ye Family’s financial income has seen exponential growth. Currently, at the Taichang Market, yearly profits in Spirit Stones have reached thirty thousand. It’s important to note that this is after giving substantial profits to Illusion Peak.

Additionally, in recent years, Ye Jingcheng hasn’t supplied any Tier Three Spirit Pills to Taichang Market.

If he had, the annual profit would be even higher.

In addition, the Ye Family’s annual earnings at the Taihang Market have reached about thirteen thousand Spirit Stones, which understandably tempted the Jin Family as well.

Besides this, from trade with the Jia Family, they earn an annual seven to eight thousand Spirit Stones.

Though the trade value with the Jia Family seems small, much of it revolves around resource exchange, enriching the Ye Family’s stock of Low-Tier Spirit Medicine and Spiritual Materials considerably.

The value of these exchanges goes beyond monetary gains from Spirit Stones.

Apart from financial revenue, the Ye Family’s expenses have also increased significantly.

The extensive rearing of Spirit Beasts incurs considerable manpower and material resources, and in many instances, the Ye Family even involved some mortals in Spirit Field planting.

Meanwhile, as the Ye Family’s numbers grow and more achieve Foundation Establishment, annual salaries have also increased notably.

Besides the changes among cultivators, the Ye Family has selected its Seven Heroes, each undergoing respective training.

Among them, those Ye Jingcheng is familiar with include Body Cultivator Ye Qingwen, Talisman Cultivator Ye Jingting, and Pill Cultivator Ye Qingyan.

“Patriarch, here are the Spirit Medicine and Spiritual Materials you requested!” Ye Xingqun then produced a Storage Bag.

Ye Jingcheng took the Storage Bag, and a smile appeared on his face.

Inside were most of the Tier One and Tier Two Advanced Spiritual Formula materials he needed. In particular, the Dream-Devouring Worm Pill Formula materials were complete.

His next goal was to break through to the Purple Mansion Peak, requiring further cultivation of his Divine Sense, with the Dream-Devouring Worm being crucial.

“Uncle Xingqun, where can I purchase a Tier Three Top-Grade Spirit Gathering Array and a Tier Three Top-Grade Spirit-Attracting Stone?” Ye Jingcheng inquired.

The Ye Family previously had avenues through Taiyi Sect, precisely through Illusion Peak’s channels.

Previously, buying lower Tier Three items went unnoticed, as many Foundation Establishment Clans were interested, but for Top Grade Tier Three items, typically needed for preparing to break through to Golden Core, it was more conspicuous at Taiyi Sect.

Ye Jingcheng could also have Ye Xuefan refine through the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain.

Unfortunately, Ye Xuefan was already in seclusion.

As Lingyun Peak experienced rapid growth, the Ye Family’s expansion in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain progressed even faster.

Because there, the Ye Family could act recklessly, profiting from both the Purple Wood Sect and the Yun Family.

“You could try the Xin’an Market in Zhao Kingdom, a market led by a Golden Core Clan and managed jointly with the Jia Family and two other Purple Mansion Clans!” Ye Xingqun suggested.

“Moreover, the Xin’an Market reportedly has a Tier Three auction coming up, which the Patriarch might consider attending!” Ye Xingqun’s news network had become surprisingly extensive, prompting a nod from Ye Jingcheng.

He added, “Uncle Xingqun, please call Jing Hu back, as Jing Chong has already achieved Foundation Establishment, rendering him unnecessary there!”

Hearing this, Ye Xingqun nodded.

“Patriarch, in recent days, Jing Hu has gained quite a reputation in the Hidden Valley of the Taihang Mountain Range. Alongside his Thunder Roc, he has slain many Tier Two Demon Beasts!”

“Meanwhile, in the Cloud Lion Valley, after the fall of the Cloud Lion Demon King, a new Thunder Roc Demon King emerged. Though only at the Early Stage of Fourth Tier, its strength should not be underestimated!”

“Also, the Jia Family is purchasing Thunder Roc Eggs at high prices!”

“Even mixed-blood Thunderbirds are being collected!”

After exchanging a few more words with Ye Xingqun, Ye Jingcheng left the Spirit Medicine for the family, then exited the Assembly Hall, heading toward his courtyard.

After being in seclusion for over five years, it’s indeed time to spend quality time with Chu Yanqing.

Furthermore, he planned to decelerate his cultivation pace, practicing Secret Techniques, which was quite timely now.
