Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 955: Chapter 665: Enormous Gains and Choices

The endless mountain range sometimes rises with mist and sometimes falls with drizzling rain.

The misty rain, the cawing of crows, and the hidden moon, all vividly paint the late spring scene in Desolate Cloud Ridge.

On the Spiritual Ship, another figure identical to Ye Jingcheng appeared.

“Jingcheng, let me steer the Spiritual Ship, you can go inside and cultivate!” The one who stepped out was Ye Haicheng, his voice more robust than the others due to being a Body Cultivator.

“Also, the Storage Bags are waiting for you to check!” Ye Haicheng added.

His eyes glimmered with interest, clearly intrigued by the treasures from the Haoyang Daoist Temple branch.

At the same time, there were two individuals with a resemblance to Zhang Family Cultivators.

They withdrew from the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, possibly doing tasks similar to the Ye Family, and very likely carrying treasures.

Otherwise, they couldn’t possibly possess a Golden Core Spirit Puppet.

Ye Jingcheng, upon hearing this, glanced at Desolate Cloud Ridge, nearing its end, with increasingly shorter mountains and vast flatlands.

Even the dark clouds and misty rain had significantly dispersed.

Once past Desolate Cloud Ridge, the borders of the Lu Kingdom were near, naturally reducing the danger.

“Granduncle, you could actually check these first!”

Ye Jingcheng nodded but still entered the Grotto Heaven.

He said this, knowing that his clan elders wouldn’t look. After all, he was the one who slew them, so the treasures and spoils belonged to him.

Even if given away, it would be exchanged by the clan using Contribution Points.

Public is public, private is private; this distinction is exceptionally clear in the Ye Family.

Inside the Grotto Heaven, the two corpses lay intact, surrounded by Storage Bags, Spirit Beast Bags, and Storage Bracelets untouched, while elders like Ye Xuefan, Ye Haisheng, Ye Haiping, and Ye Haiyu stood guard.

Clearly, the family was also curious, but they were waiting for him.

“Jingcheng, these two might be from the Zhang Family!” Ye Xuefan said, pointing at their wrists.

On the wrists, there were tattoos of two Simurghs.

These Simurghs appeared extremely lively, but upon closer inspection, Ye Jingcheng noticed their eyes resembled those of an Artifact Refining Furnace.

“This is a Spirit Shadow Tattoo, it remains invisible unless infused with Spiritual Power.” Ye Xuefan seemed to have seen Ye Jingcheng’s query and explained further.

This kind of Spirit Shadow Tattoo is quite common in some families, as it, like the Ye Family’s Beast Communication Pattern, helps identify infiltrations.

Ye Jingcheng wasn’t surprised, and began withdrawing Storage Bags one by one.

The first Storage Bag shocked Ye Jingcheng; it was filled with Demon Beast corpses, six to seven hundred Tier One Demon Beast corpses and three hundred Tier Two Demon Beast corpses.

Even the corpses of ten Tier Three Great Demons were present.

This indicates that the Outer Sea powers were actually capturing Demon Beasts.

Don’t underestimate the value of Demon Beast corpses; these corpses haven’t had their raw materials extracted yet.

For instance, shark fins from shark-type Demon Beasts are the best refining materials for Water Attribute Flying Sword Celestial Sabers.

Turtle shells are the best refining spiritual materials for Defensive Treasure Armor.

The value of these materials is substantial.

However, seeing this first Storage Bag, none of the Ye Family members were very surprised, as the Ye Family had no shortage of Demon Beast corpses. Despite many incomplete bodies, they’ve accumulated at least twenty to thirty thousand corpses.

There is no shortage of Demon Beast meat for Spirit Beast cultivation in the foreseeable future, and family members can frequently consume Spiritual Flesh and Spiritual Cuisine.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be feeding the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon so casually.

Ye Jingcheng quickly took out a second and third Storage Bag.

The second Storage Bag, like the first, was filled with the same number of corpses, but the third contained surprisingly all Spiritual Medicine.

These Spiritual Medicines were excellently sealed in Jade Boxes, preserving roots, stems, and leaves in fine condition, suitable for planting in the Spirit Medicine Garden.

Evidently, these were Spiritual Medicines acquired by the Haoyang Daoist Temple in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, with many being of Water and Wood attributes.

Such Spiritual Medicines mostly grew in the Sea Domain, with many being aquatic, growing in water.

Obtaining these over a thousand Spiritual Medicines considerably enriched the Ye Family’s Spiritual Medicine reserves.

Among them, there were even Tier Three Spiritual Medicines.

Even the many Spirit Pills Ye Jingcheng wanted to refine now had their sources, especially those needing Water and Wood attributes.

This ensures the future cultivation progress of the Five-Colored Cloud Deer can kept up.

Ye Jingcheng looked through two more Storage Bags, one containing eighty million Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, and the other full of Array Banners, Magical Artifacts, and Treasures.

However, Ye Jingcheng noticed no Magical Artifacts or Array Banners above Tier Four.

Unexpectedly, there was a Soul Banner.

The Soul Banner was filled with Beast Souls.

There were over five thousand Souls, although insufficient to fill the Soul gap, Ye Family’s surplus of Tier Four Beast Souls made it possible for injecting the Earth Dragon Demon King with Soul power.

Thus, there’s no need for the Ye Family to continue risking hunts in the Taihang Mountain Range.

“This harvest turned out unexpectedly well!” Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but smile.

He extracted all the Beast Souls.

Then, he distributed the remaining Magical Artifacts and Treasures for the clan to select from.

These Array Banners and Magical Artifacts held no value for him and were intended for the family anyway.

Of course, each family member who chose a Magical Artifact paid Contribution Points.

Ye Jing Hu chose one too—not a Magical Artifact, but the Thundering Axe Treasure.

This Thunder Attribute Treasure has immense power, although Ye Jing Hu couldn’t use it yet, but he was confident about breaking through the Purple Mansion.

He was already close to the Foundation Establishment Peak, and his strength had significantly improved through the Beast Tide.

As long as he enters seclusion for some time, he can break through Foundation Establishment Peak. With the addition of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, breaking through to the Purple Mansion won’t take years.

Of course, he hesitated a bit when choosing, fearing that Ye Jingcheng might refuse due to his insufficient cultivation.

He truly loved this magical treasure.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng nod, he chuckled, affectionately caressing the Thundering Axe.

After the magical artifacts were distributed, Ye Jingcheng continued examining the remaining storage bags.

The remaining storage bags all had larger spaces.

These were the storage bags of several Purple Mansions from Haoyang Daoist Temple.

Inside these storage bags, the treasures were complicated, with many upper-grade Spirit Stones, alongside various magical artifact talismans. Ye Jingcheng estimated their value, and they were by no means less than the previous storage bags.

Moreover, the Tier Three Magical Treasures also made the eyes of those in Ye Family’s Purple Mansion light up.

After all, Ye Jingcheng at the moment wouldn’t care for ordinary Tier Three Magical Treasures, and after this beast tide, they had earned quite a few contribution points.

Ye Jingcheng didn’t hold anything back, offering any magical treasures he could exchange.

Since anything that couldn’t be exchanged would likely be disposed of at the Cyan Spirit Night Market as stolen goods.

Better to let his own family benefit than others.

Among them, Ye Xuefan exchanged for a Shrinking Carpet Magical Treasure and a Mountain-Suppressing Tower. The former was a Tier Three High-Grade Treasure, and the latter was a Tier Three Top-Grade Treasure, both incredibly remarkable.

Ye Haisheng also exchanged for two items.

At this moment, he was fondling them, preparing to refine them on the spot.

Meanwhile, Ye Jingcheng felt the contribution points inside his Clan Token, which had already surpassed Ye Xuecang, becoming truly the top contributor of the Ye Family.

The number three million had yet to count Ye Jingcheng’s slaying of those Golden Core cultivators.

Once accounted for, surpassing ten million contribution points was possible, especially since the Ye Family had acquired ten Tier Four Demon Pills. One of these could create a Fake Pill Cultivator, valued at least fifty thousand Spirit Stones, and most of the Tier Four Demon Kings were slain by Ye Jingcheng.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng didn’t really care about this number anymore.

After all, this time, the Soul Injection of the Earth Dragon Demon King had passed through his body.

Besides providing the Earth Dragon Demon King with countless soul powers, Ye Jingcheng himself would be somewhat nourished, and even his other Spirit Beasts would make some progress.

Moreover, he might obtain a Nascent Soul Demon Emperor as a Spirit Beast, with whom his strength and cultivation speed could not compare to before.

Even if the family didn’t deduct his contribution points, he would clear them out anyway.

After checking the storage bags from Haoyang Daoist Temple, Ye Jingcheng picked up the remaining two storage bags and one Spirit Beast Bag.

These belonged to the two female cultivators, and both the storage bags and Spirit Beast Bag were of the largest specifications.

Inside, they were most likely to have treasures above Tier Four.

After all, they had a Golden Core Spirit Puppet with them, and if they were just taking a stroll in the sea domain, it would make little sense.

Even the Chenjing Sea was stirred.

There must be a significant secret.

Ye Jingcheng erased the Divine Sense Mark on the storage bag, and his Divine Sense instinctively entered. The next moment, his eyebrows twitched, and his pupils constricted with gleaming light.

He hesitated for a moment, then took out two array tokens.

These tokens had the character Zhang on the front and the words Golden Valley on the back!

“Fourth Uncle Ancestor, where is this Golden Valley located?” Ye Jingcheng felt it might be related to the Zhang Family’s Teleportation Array location.

However, Ye Xuefan shook his head.

Of course, at this moment, Ye Jingcheng was transmitting his voice to Ye Xuefan.

“Fourth Uncle Ancestor, Zhang Family should have a Golden Core Peak Cultivator with Chenjing Jade that could possibly enhance the breakthrough to Nascent Soul!” Ye Jingcheng’s transmission fell into Ye Xuefan’s mind, naturally astonishing him.

He finally realized why the Zhang Family’s recent actions were so high-profile.

Because they truly were at their final step.

They were assembling various Spirit Gathering Arrays and Spirit-Attracting Stones, combining into a Tier Five Spirit Vein, to increase their chances of breaking through to Nascent Soul.

And this Chenjing Jade is another trump card to increase breakthrough chances.

Chenjing Jade is a unique Spirit Jade from Chenjing Sea, capable of increasing a cultivator’s chances of breaking through to Nascent Soul, though only by half a percent, it doesn’t compare to the Nascent Soul Pill. Yet, the rarity of Nascent Soul Pills makes even Nascent Soul Sects unable to produce them readily.

Moreover, this Chenjing Jade relates to the True Essence of Chenjing’s inhalation and exhalation, typically only produced in the territory of a Tier Five Demon Emperor Chenjing; amazingly, these two female cultivators from the Zhang Family actually stole some Chenjing Jade.

This was what shocked Ye Jingcheng the most.

Naturally, the question now was whether to let the Earth Dragon Demon King know about this Chenjing Jade.

After all, if the Earth Dragon Demon King didn’t turn against them, he was beneficial to the Ye Family.

Moreover, the Earth Dragon Demon King was responsive to Ye Family matters and had stayed in Ye Jingcheng’s Grotto Heaven to protect him earlier.

Of course, this Chenjing Jade could be kept for use, as once he communicated with the Earth Dragon Demon King, Ye Jingcheng’s breakthrough to the Middle Stage of Golden Core wouldn’t take long.

With time, using the Chenjing Jade to reach Nascent Soul was also very possible.

This was the reason for Ye Jingcheng’s hesitation.

“Jingcheng, follow your thoughts!” Ye Xuefan shook his head, but inwardly transmitted his voice to Ye Jingcheng.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng’s decision was the most important.

Once decided, now was the best opportunity for Communicating with the Beast.

Moreover, it would not cause the Earth Dragon Demon King to dislike him.

At the same time, they could also transmit to Ye Xuecang to have him dissolve the Blood Contract on his side.

Ye Jingcheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded, continuing to extract the treasures from within.

Upper-grade Spirit Stones, Tier Three Spiritual Medicine, Tier Three Magical Treasure, Tier Four Spirit Talisman, finally replacing a storage bag and taking out a palm-sized Water Jade.
