Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 881: Chapter 618: Transformation Mishap

“Begin!” Jiang Jinghe saw that the two were almost ready, and waved his hand as he spoke.

At this moment, he also appeared somewhat nervous. In fact, he preferred if Ye Qingwen would triumph, because if Ye Qingwen won, there would be no need for a Purple Mansion contest.

Neither the Jin Family nor the Ye Family are factions he can afford to provoke at this point.

“You make the first move!” Ye Qingwen still spoke up.

This was something that made Ye Jingcheng frown.

In this respect, Ye Qingwen seemed somewhat like his second brother Ye Jingyi. For a cultivator, having such a personality is not a good thing.

Sure enough, Jin Xinyu began to move.

Two Silver Moon Scythes appeared in her hands, constantly revolving around her wrists like two blooming blade flowers, repeatedly opening and withering before opening again.

Moreover, the speed kept increasing; eventually, it was as if there were two silver moons, attracting one’s gaze involuntarily.

Ye Jingcheng frowned as he watched, realizing there was an illusion skill at play!

He, being a Purple Mansion Cultivator, could see through the trick, but a Foundation Establishment Cultivator would have a hard time identifying it, especially since Ye Qingwen’s cultivation was not as advanced as Jin Xinyu’s.

Ye Jingcheng glanced at the scene and, sure enough, the Silver Moon had captured the attention of many onlookers, including Ye Qingwen.

For most cultivators, during magical combat, they focus on their opponent’s techniques. This helps them to devise counter-strategies and find opportunities to exploit!

Jin Xinyu was counting on Ye Qingwen behaving this way, and given Ye Qingwen let Jin Xinyu make the first move, it naturally led to this outcome!

Seeing Ye Qingwen pausing for a moment, his gaze somewhat unfocused, Jin Xinyu fiercely stomped her foot and propelled herself forward:

“If I don’t win, I will become a marriage alliance pawn. Though we are both body cultivators, this time, I have an undeniable reason to win!”

Nearing within ten meters of Ye Qingwen, she released one of the Silver Moon Scythes from her hand, which shot straight for Ye Qingwen’s neck.

Her body continued rapidly behind the scythe.

Aiming for a decisive two-pronged attack!

Just then, the Red Moon Python in the distance spewed out a large ball of flame.

Towards Jin Xinyu, who, despite being in the middle stage of foundation establishment, dared not ignore the Red Moon Python’s attack. Another magical artifact appeared in her hand — a Vajra Profound Ring.

The flame forged a massive fire circle around the profound ring.

However, this fire circle was not Jin Xinyu’s primary focus; she still aimed to close in on Ye Qingwen.

At this moment, the first Silver Moon Scythe happened to break through Ye Qingwen’s defense treasure, the Golden Bell.

This brought Jin Xinyu great joy, as her Silver Moon Scythe aimed for Ye Qingwen’s shoulder.

If this were to happen, regardless of how severe Ye Qingwen’s injuries might be, he would be defeated.

After all, it was evident that his opponent was holding back; if not, the blade would have struck his neck!

At this moment, Ye Qingwen’s eyes suddenly became clear, and strange patterns appeared all over his body.

It was the Profound Desolate Dominator Body’s profound patterns.

These patterns appeared in front, capturing Jin Xinyu’s scythe, rendering it immobile.

“You lost!” Ye Qingwen said, punching towards Jin Xinyu’s chest.

This blow was indeed ruthless.

Apparently, Ye Qingwen’s previous behavior was an act.

But his smile didn’t last long.

Behind him, an identical figure appeared, also delivering a palm strike, landing on Ye Qingwen’s back.

“Actually, you lost!”

Boom!

Ye Qingwen’s body flew backward, spitting blood in mid-air.

“The Outer Body Incarnation Technique!” Ye Jingcheng exclaimed as he witnessed this.

As expected, even for Foundation Establishment cultivators, their combat techniques have merit.

This time, Ye Qingwen feigned weakness, displaying the typical generosity and kindness of most body cultivators, allowing the opponent to get close and then seizing the opportunity to strike.

However, he hadn’t anticipated his opponent possessing the Outer Body Incarnation Technique, leading to his defeat.

Otherwise, if the Red Moon Python had completed its encirclement, Ye Qingwen would have surely won.

“Patriarch, I lost!” Ye Qingwen, practicing the Profound Desolate Dominator Body, emerged with minor bodily damage but had conclusively lost because this was merely a sparring match; in a true life-and-death scenario, the opponent wouldn’t have stopped at just one palm strike.

“It’s alright, I’m next, but make sure to reflect on this and take on the same task as Jing Hu!” Ye Jingcheng comforted him but didn’t dwell on it.

Ye Qingwen’s mistake was significant, not in terms of strategy or strength, but he relied on taking shortcuts. Otherwise, leveraging the advantage of the Red Moon Python, Red Bird, and himself provided a fair chance of victory.

After all, he hadn’t yet summoned the second Tier Two Spirit Beast.

It was this reliance on shortcuts, without accounting for Jin Xinyu’s hidden card, that led to such a thorough defeat.

In the Cultivation Realm, it’s akin to a lion hunting a rabbit — one must use all effort!

Ye Qingwen was the weaker party and didn’t utilize his strengths fully, which was his greatest flaw.

“Jin Xinyu wins!” Jiang Jinghe reluctantly announced.

And next up, evidently, the main event of the Purple Mansion showdown is unavoidable.

“Ye Jingcheng, they all say you’re a Spirit Body prodigy. Well, I, Jin Yurong, will see just how much truth there is in your Spirit Body!” Jin Yurong remarked.

Though these words resulted in a cold smile from Ye Jingcheng.

Now begin speaking of the Spirit Body, perhaps the momentum has already lost half.

Ye Jingcheng looked at Jiang Jinghe and directly had him announce the start of the grand competition.

Ye Jingcheng then looked at several True Masters; this time, although there were several True Masters present, all three were in the early stage of the Golden Core.

In fact, among them, Master Tianzhen was even a Fake Pill True Master.

Ye Jingcheng was not very afraid of his cultivation being discovered because he had cultivated the family’s special secret technique, the Supreme Turtle Concealing Qi Technique, was wearing the Shadowless Daoist Robe, and had also activated the Profound Pattern Possession to isolate Divine Sense.

This time, he had also begun Half-Spirit Control, converting all his Spiritual Energy into the Wood Attribute True Essence of the Wood Demon and the Thunder Attribute True Essence of the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect.

Thus, his cultivation was still in the early stage of the Purple Mansion.

Of course, he primarily used Wood Cultivation methods, and as for the Thunder Cultivation aura, it was merely the aura of the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect he had displayed earlier, and continuing Spirit Cultivation now would not be noticed.

As Ye Jingcheng stepped out, Jin Yurong also stepped forward!

“I’ll let you make the first move!” Jin Yurong said.

It seemed he was confident of victory, but in reality, he was somewhat concerned about Ye Jingcheng’s strength.

This time the Jin Family had planned for Jin Yutang to fight, who, being an old brand middle-stage Purple Mansion, was much stronger than Jin Yurong.

But due to the appearance of True Masters from Illusion Peak and Sword Peak, they had to stop.

What he didn’t know was that Ye Jingcheng was not contemplating how to defeat him at this moment.

He was pondering how not to defeat him with one blow!

After all, even though he controlled his cultivation strength, Jin Yurong couldn’t compare.

Striving to win without overwhelming force, indeed a challenge!

After some distress, Ye Jingcheng began using finger techniques, directly summoning the Cyan Wood Spirit Seed that he hadn’t used for a long time.

Suddenly, Spiritual Light ignited, and several Vajra Vines appeared, winding towards Jin Yurong.

The speed of the Vajra Vine was so fast that Jin Yurong almost didn’t react.

He barely managed to raise his hand, cutting out with a Tier Three High-Grade Magical Treasure Flying Sword!

The Vajra Vine was instantly cut into several pieces.

Evidently, the strength of the Vajra Vine was somewhat lacking.

“If the Ye Family lacks treasures, they can consider buying some from our Jin Family!” Jin Yurong sneered as he saw that Ye Jingcheng hadn’t taken out any major treasures and was using a Tier Two Top-Grade Vajra Vine.

He now possessed more than one Tier Three High-Grade Treasure, absolutely overwhelming Ye Jingcheng.

He was a bit annoyed at that moment, as he had been somewhat worried earlier.

It’s just that everything now had gone out of their control.

“Profound Origin Sword Slash!” Jin Yurong laughed loudly, using finger formulas, as the Magical Treasure Flying Sword emerged, slicing through the sky, leaving a long Sword Aura.

At this moment, around Ye Jingcheng, a layer of Spirit Armor appeared, the Unyielding Spirit Armor.

Although the Unyielding Spirit Armor was a Tier Three High-Grade Treasure, it could be used even by someone at the early stage of the Purple Mansion.

Ye Jingcheng was determined to do his best, naturally displaying all known treasures and methods.

Of course, there was no need to summon his spirit beast: nobody had witnessed it breaking through to Tier Three.

With the Spirit Armor transforming into a Turtle Shell appearance, it collided fiercely with the enormous sword shadow in the air, dispersing the Sword Aura and Spiritual Light all around, causing all spectators to retreat!

However, the Unyielding Spirit Armor, after all, was used by an early-stage Purple Mansion Cultivator, and soon began to falter. At this point, Jin Yurong brought out another Tier Three High-Grade Treasure.

This time it wasn’t a flying sword, but rather a rope!

The Golden Jade Rope!

It flew directly to bind Ye Jingcheng.

Once bound by the Golden Jade Rope, it could isolate cultivation and Spiritual Light, leaving Ye Jingcheng powerless!

“You’re rejoicing too soon!” Ye Jingcheng shouted low!

This time he began using finger formulas, summoning a cyan-green Spirit Disc.

It was his Wood Element Lifebound Treasure, the Profound Wood Disc!

Countless Green Woods emerged, as if the forest suddenly transformed, with numerous great vines rising!

Enveloping Ye Jingcheng’s figure and isolating the Golden Jade Rope and Flying Sword.

Jin Yurong was currently full of confusion, not knowing what Ye Jingcheng intended!

But discovered in the sky, countless Wood Thunder activated!

The main material of the Profound Wood Disc was Thunder-Attracting Wood, capable of spitting out numerous Wood Thunders.

In a moment of carelessness, Jin Yurong’s Spirit Shield was shattered.

Coupled with numerous Spirit Woods surging towards him again, he was left in a flurry.

Even the Flying Sword Treasure was entangled by vine after vine!

Jin Yurong was in an urgent fluster, continuously using finger techniques, but before the Flying Sword Treasure could return, a Spirit Talisman somehow appeared.

Freezing several hundred miles around, at which point, the Cyan Wood Vine wrapped up, binding Jin Yurong entirely.

The Flying Sword Treasure, at this moment, finally returned with finger formulas, once again slashing out, but Ye Jingcheng had again activated the Cyan Wood Spirit Seed of the Jade Poison Vine.

With Jade Poison Vine dancing, it joined in binding Jin Yurong, bringing along potent venom, swiftly defeating Jin Yurong!

Ye Jingcheng exhaled a long breath, beginning to reflect.

Of course, he wasn’t reflecting on gain or loss, but on whether he had exposed himself!
