Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 883: Chapter 619: Testing the Answers, Double-headed Turtle Demon King (Double Chapter—Vote Request)

This mistake isn’t because one inherently doesn’t know, but rather due to having too few experiences in the Cultivation Realm.

After Ye Qingwen left, Ye Jingcheng called Ye Jing Hu into the room alone. Whether in terms of cultivation, magical combat, or handling matters, Ye Jing Hu was clearly better than Ye Qingwen and Ye Qingyan.

At this moment, he looked directly at Ye Jing Hu:

“Jing Hu, this time the family is preparing to let you succeed as Patriarch. What do you think?”

“Patriarch, Jing Hu will definitely give his all!” Ye Jing Hu was instantly overjoyed.

With Ye Jingcheng saying this, it was solidly decided. Ye Jingcheng’s words now were more influential than everyone else in the Inner Hall combined.

“Hm, hoping you don’t disappoint the family. Moreover, Jing Hu, do you feel there’s any difference in becoming Patriarch compared to before?” Ye Jingcheng inquired again.

“Difference?” Ye Jing Hu was momentarily hesitant, then spoke:

“Patriarch, I think the difference lies in controlling the family cohesion and having a goal at every period. For example, our previous goal was the Purple Mansion Clan, to produce one or two Purple Mansion cultivators, that was the previous goal. But now the Ye Family has made substantial progress; the next goal is three. First, increase the family headcount. Currently, the clan has more than three hundred members, which is still relatively few. As a strong Purple Mansion Clan, at least five hundred clan members are needed. Second, enhance the family’s high-tier combat power and continue to support Alchemy Masters and Artifact Refiners! There should be over five Tier Two Alchemists and Tier Two Artifact Refiners in total! Third, increase the development of the Taihang Mountain Range, enhancing the family’s foundation!”

“Hm, good!” Ye Jingcheng nodded as he heard Ye Jing Hu state the three points, as he had previously acted as an agent Patriarch.

“Jing Hu, aside from these, you also need to focus on cultivating new Patriarchs and learning to correct clan members!”

“Jing Hu will remember!” Ye Jing Hu nodded repeatedly.

He knew Ye Jingcheng might soon enter seclusion, after all, Ye Jingcheng truly held the highest combat power.

Thus, every one of Ye Jingcheng’s words was etched in his heart.

“Patriarch, about what you said before, that after I win the grand competition or become Patriarch, I could receive family information…”

“You can ask three questions!” Ye Jingcheng nodded.

Just like when he asked Ye Xuecang, he was given three questions too.

The Ye Family’s secrets were numerous; only disclosing three was to prevent Ye Jing Hu from being overly aggressive.

Of course, if the questions were asked well, three could uncover a lot.

Ye Jing Hu proceeded to ask, first about the family’s highest combat power, and secondly about where other members of the family were.

It was quite similar to what Ye Jingcheng had asked in the past.

Ye Jingcheng naturally answered each one.

With Ye Jingcheng’s answers, Ye Jing Hu’s eyes shone brightly.

Clenching his fist, he felt both excited and enthusiastic.

“The family is indeed so strong!”

With more than five Purple Mansion cultivators, plus Golden Cores, and the family had already claimed half an archipelago.

If anyone else had said this, Ye Jing Hu would surely not believe it.

After all, it seemed too unreal.

But now, Ye Jingcheng had disclosed it all to him.

“Patriarch, the final question, I’d like to ask if there are family Spirit Beasts within the Taihang Mountain Range!”

“There are, and you need to significantly enhance your strength, or else you’ll lack even the qualifications to participate. The family’s next goal is to become a Nascent Soul Clan!” Ye Jingcheng didn’t elaborate further, but just the last sentence was enough to thrill Ye Jing Hu down to his core.

After all, no Nascent Soul Clan existed in the entire Yan Kingdom.

Even among the Eastern Domain Countries, there were only two Nascent Soul Clans, and those were families indistinguishable from sects.

If the Ye Family became a Nascent Soul Clan, it would be ushering in a new era.

Thinking of this, Ye Jing Hu couldn’t help but feel somewhat ashamed.

He was still contemplating increasing family numbers and enhancing the family’s high-tier Alchemists and Artifact Refiners.

In Ye Jingcheng’s mind, the goal was already to become a Nascent Soul Clan.

“Keep striving, the Thunder Spirit Root and Five-Inch Beast Pattern are both on you, don’t let the family down!” Ye Jingcheng then took out two improved Thunder Rhinoceros Pills and handed them to Ye Jing Hu.

Ye Jing Hu’s Thunder Rhinoceros Insect didn’t have much hope for further advancement.

However, his Thunder Roc also had the Thunder attribute and could take a Tier One Advancement Pill, followed by a Tier Two Advancement Pill.

“Next, I’ll return to Lingyun Peak. You and Jing Fu should host some events and publicly announce the names and evil deeds on the list, to restore the family’s prestige and reputation!” Ye Jingcheng instructed further, then swiftly departed Taihang Market heading towards Lingyun Peak.

However, this time, even when passing by Lingyun Peak, he didn’t pause but directly flew towards Earth Dragon Valley.

At this moment, in his hand, the Clan Token was radiant.

Evidently, the family had received news of his emergence and started contacting him.

This time, the target was a large sea turtle outside the Celestial Cloud Islands.

But unlike last time’s Sea Turtle, this was a Double-headed Turtle Demon King.

Such Turtle Demon King was most suitable for experiments, as its speed and magical strength weren’t significant.

However, its ability to escape a Blood Contract was no small feat!

It was perfect for trials, and this Double-headed Turtle Demon King was proficient in the Water and Wood Phases. If the Blood Contract succeeded, Ye Jingcheng might even increase his chances of breaking through to the Golden Core.

With no other concerns, Ye Jingcheng traveled swiftly, arriving at Earth Dragon Valley within two days.

Earth Dragon Valley was still boundless; Armor-Piercing Beasts and Golden Scale Beasts roamed freely.

As Ye Jingcheng’s Spiritual Ship flew past, these Spirit Beasts emitted threatening roars.

Ye Jingcheng paid them no mind; he only consulted his Treasure Book to see if there were any similar to his Golden Scale Beast in innate talent and bloodline.

If there were opportunities for advancement at the Fourth Layer or Fifth Layer, he’d note them down, to contract them for the clansmen later.

Such Spirit Beasts didn’t even require pill formula research; using the ones Ye Jingcheng had previously refined would do, even Tier Three Advancement Pills were ready.

Unfortunately, Ye Jingcheng searched for a long time; there were two with three-layer advancement Treasure Light, and only one with four-layer.

The others were either matured with exhausted potential or lacked talent.

Finally, Ye Jingcheng landed in one of the valleys, which wasn’t the valley of the family’s Teleportation Array.

It was the valley of the Earth Dragon Demon King.

Ye Jingcheng transmitted his voice inside, and the Earth Dragon Demon King emerged, still as dignified as ever, its aura even stronger than before.

Evidently, it had refined further at the Tier Four Peak Realm.

“Dragon Ancestor, here are some specialties from Taihang Commandery; I hope they suit your palate!” Ye Jingcheng had often sought help from the Earth Dragon Demon King, and although caution was necessary, gratitude was likewise essential.

Inside were some Spirit Wine, Spirit Fish, and some Earth Attribute Spirit Materials suitable for the Earth Dragon Demon King.

Though not many, Ye Jingcheng’s intentions were sincere.

“You’re headed to the Sea Domain?” The Earth Dragon Demon King glanced at the gifts, smiling slightly.

“Yes, Dragon Ancestor, this time I’m preparing to do some rigorous cultivation in the Sea Domain, also planning a breakthrough!” Ye Jingcheng didn’t hide anything; after all, the most genuine intentions were truly flawless!

“Then when the Celestial Dragon Fruit matures, I’ll save you one!” The Earth Dragon Demon King nodded.

Then it didn’t hesitate, promptly returning to its Dragon Nest.

Ye Jingcheng bowed and departed, heading to the family Teleportation Array’s location.

After leaving Dragon Valley far behind, Ye Jingcheng exhaled deeply. Despite reaching the Purple Mansion Peak, the pressure from the Earth Dragon Demon King was still significant.

The thought of the Celestial Dragon Fruit made Ye Jingcheng’s heart burn eagerly.

If this Spirit Fruit could be obtained, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon’s breakthrough to Tier Four had a considerable probability.

“Jingcheng, you came!” Upon entering the valley, Ye Haicheng and Ye Haiyan came out.

Ye Haicheng was still bare-chested, with Spirit Patterns flowing on his body and his feet somewhat swollen.

Clearly, he was cultivating the Desolate Step!

Ye Haiyan, on the other hand, was studying Array techniques.

“Great Grandfather, Sixth Grandfather!” Ye Jingcheng bowed respectfully.

“How’s the Jin Family affair handled?”

“All smooth!” Ye Jingcheng replied.

“Good, now let’s set off; Second Uncle and the others are already waiting for us!” Ye Haicheng nodded.
