Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 1004: Chapter 698: Taiyi’s Scheme and Spirit Vein Upgrade

Assembly Hall of Celestial Shadow Peak, with sandalwood smoke lingering as the array isolates it.

Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xuefan walked into the hall together.

At this moment, both were already aware of Ye Qingyan’s news, and their brows were furrowed tightly.

Ye Qingyan’s talent wasn’t bad, with his own Dual Spirit Roots, he also had a Five-Inch Beast Pattern, and his alchemy skill was only second to Ye Jingcheng within the Ye family.

Many of Ye Jingcheng’s advancement pills and studies were also focused on Ye Qingyan.

“Currently, it seems the Taiyi Sect won’t allow us to withdraw!” Ye Jingcheng spoke with some helplessness.

Ye Jingteng didn’t quite understand the Taiyi Sect’s subtle hints, but he had talked with Zitian True Monarch and was naturally clear.

Ye Qingshuang’s promotion and Ye Jingteng’s significant increase in power clearly showed Purple Peak’s goodwill towards the Ye family.

The warning to Ye Qingyan not to leave Taichang Market was actually a caution.

However, this warning conveyed through Ye Jingteng indicated the attitude of the Taiyi Sect.

Apparently, Taiyi Sect feared that once the Ye family withdrew, all the pressure would fall on Taiyi Sect, and they were even more afraid of other sects convicting Taiyi Sect with the excuse of the Ye family escaping.

Thus, the Ye family probably wouldn’t be able to withdraw not just from Taichang Market but from Taihang Market and the Ye family’s territory in Taihang Commandery either.

If their guess was right, the Taiyi Sect might also monitor these areas.

“Hopefully, they can suppress the dark lines of the Zhang family!” Ye Xuefan clearly understood the stakes and could only sigh in resignation.

Although their Celestial Secret Cloth concealed a lot, any remaining members of the Zhang and Jia families would certainly realize that the Ye family was indeed from the Yan Kingdom.

“The Jia family should be fine, considering the Ling family’s strong infiltration into the Jia family, coupled with the Jia family’s lack of preparation, they were practically annihilated by the Ling family. Even if some Jia family members who could make contact survived, they likely wouldn’t dare show themselves anymore.”

“The Jia family in Medicine King Valley couldn’t possibly have information on Desert Sea; additionally, Taiyi Sect is spreading news about the Qinghe Sect to distract them, making Qinghe Sect overwhelmed. After all, the spirit treasure’s information in Taihang Commandery was fabricated by Qinghe Sect!” Ye Jingcheng felt both gratitude and frustration.

No wonder back then the Beast Communication Tower and Blood Soul Bead were in Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, yet rumors pointed to Taihang Commandery.

The purpose was merely to use the spirit treasure as a pretext to annex Taiyi Sect.

Now, if Qinghe Sect’s false claims of Penglai Immortal Sect’s decree are confirmed, Qinghe Sect would be in big trouble, while Taiyi Sect would be more stable.

This could count as good news.

Of course, if Taiyi Sect encounters any issues, Ye Qingyan, Ye Family Tavern, Ye Family’s One Leaf Pavilion, and Lingyun Peak in Taihang Market might all face disaster.

As these affect sixty to seventy cultivators of the Ye family and hundreds of thousands of mortals.

“Nevertheless, we need to recover the Tier Two Vein-Protecting Pill formula that Qingyan studied and some other advancement pill improvement formulas quickly!” Ye Jingcheng spoke, noting Ye Qingyan’s exceptional alchemy talent, which maintained the Ye family’s elixir reputation in Taichang Market over the years.

The Vein-Protecting Pill formula and advancement pill formulas he studied are valuable to the Ye family.

“At the same time, the Zhang family’s people must be hunted down swiftly, not allowing them any chance to cause trouble!” Ye Jingcheng spoke with killing intent.

The Zhang family members in Taichang Commandery were particularly cunning, escaping in large numbers.

If these people obtained core evidence, it would undoubtedly greatly impact the Ye family.

Of course, in the Yan Kingdom, Taiyi Sect can pursue them, but the Ye family must eliminate the Zhang family members in Desert Sea!

Preventing the source of information from spreading will equally protect the Ye family’s roots in Taihang Mountain Range.

“Fourth Uncle, the division of oasis, auctions, and hunting orders need to proceed swiftly, and the intensity of pursuing the Zhang family must be elevated!” Ye Jingcheng spoke.

The Ye family prepared to hold auctions in Yuanling Oasis.

Firstly, it’s to prevent some loose cultivators from mixing into Celestial Phoenix Oasis; secondly, it’s because Yuanling Oasis has the most loose cultivators.

“Alright, I’ll handle it. Jingcheng, you should first enhance the spirit vein in Celestial Phoenix Oasis. Additionally, for the Earth Dragon Demon King to have soul injection, whether the Earth Dragon can break through Tier Five is vital!” Ye Xuefan nodded.

At this moment, there was a natural division of labor.

This was also because the Ye family’s Purple Mansion cultivators were still too few; at least four large-scale oases required Purple Mansion cultivators to suppress, and cultivating for loose cultivator resource integration also needed Purple Mansion cultivators.

In fact, Ye Xuefan could already prepare to break through to Purple Mansion Peak and then retreat to break through to Golden Core.

The Gold Condensing Fruit Tree in Ye Shen Valley was almost mature, after all.

“Yes, Fourth Uncle, I’m aware!” Ye Jingcheng nodded.

He then exited the Assembly Hall, heading towards the depths of the mountain peak.

Once out, Ye Jingcheng perceived the whole oasis, with many Ye family members steering their spiritual ships to bring mortals into the oasis.

The entire oasis, being patched together, had some areas where deserts still spawned.

It was like lakes of sand within the oasis, scattered everywhere.

The oasis consisted of twenty-eight county areas, where up to fifty thousand mortals could be settled in each.

In some faster-moving counties, the Ye family’s mortals had begun organizing work within them.

With the support of Ye family’s cultivators, these mortals already started integrating the surnames of the original mortals.

They had even begun directing those mortals to repair destroyed residences and buildings.

Ye Jingcheng used his Divine Sense to feel around and, upon confirming there were no issues, proceeded toward the top of Celestial Shadow Peak.

Turtle Ancestor not only brought mortals and some spirit medicine but also many upper-grade spirit stones.

Some of these are what the Ye Family placed in the Turtle Ancestor Grotto Heaven within the Cyan Cloud Sea, and some are excavated from the Pill Desolate Secret Realm.

Altogether, there are more than five hundred pieces, equivalent to five million lower-grade Spirit Stones. Of course, if exchanged, five hundred and fifty million lower-grade Spirit Stones might not necessarily exchange for five hundred upper-grade Spirit Stones, as there is a significant gap in the quality of spiritual energy.

Plus, with the Spirit Stones taken from the Zhang and Jia Families, more than a hundred pieces were gathered, and together with forty thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones, the total used for enhancing the Spirit Vein amounts to over ten million.

At the peak of Celestial Shadow Peak, several grottos are arranged, and at this moment, the Earth Dragon Demon King is healing in the grotto with the densest spiritual vein.

Once Ye Jingcheng arrived, the Earth Dragon Demon King also stepped out.

“Patriarch, are the matters over in the Desert Sea handled properly?”

“Dragon Ancestor, they are handled. This time, we’re here to advance the Spirit Vein, as the Spirit Vein advancement utilizes the Spirit Vein Group Ascension Spirit Technique, which requires some time!” Ye Jingcheng spoke.

He held quite a bit of respect towards the Dragon Ancestor.

Whatever thoughts the Earth Dragon Demon King might have had in the past, without him, the Ye Family wouldn’t have had the chance to seize the Desert Sea.

“Do you need help?” The Earth Dragon Demon King, hearing the advancement of the Spirit Vein, looked a bit excited.

After all, in the Taihang Mountain Range, obtaining a Tier Five Spiritual Vein is incredibly difficult.

The Demon Emperor wouldn’t simply allow you to break through at a Spiritual Vein.

Previously, his plan was to seek out the Nether Fire Demon Emperor.

But in fact, with the Nether Fire Demon Emperor nearby, he wasn’t at ease.

Being here in the Desert Sea is much better.

“Dragon Ancestor, this trivial matter naturally doesn’t require assistance. However, Dragon Ancestor, it’s rather troublesome to restrain those Great Demons!” Ye Jingcheng said with a smile.

Now, although there are quite a few Great Demons, enough for the Ye Clan members to form Soul Contracts.

But the Ye Clan Purple Mansion Race People are too few, even those Foundation Establishment Peak Cultivators able to withstand Purple Mansion Beasts are not many.

Presently, both Purple Mansion and Foundation Establishment Peak each have found a Great Demon Communication Beast, yet quite a few ownerless Great Demons remain.

Of course, these Great Demons have little room for cultivation and are just transitional Spirit Beasts.

“Naturally!” the Earth Dragon Demon King nodded, didn’t look at Ye Jingcheng much, and went back to healing.

Meanwhile, Ye Jingcheng approached a huge stone tree.

This was precisely the Tree of Spiritual Eyes.

Initially, Ye Jingcheng felt surprised, as this should be named the Spirit Eye Stone, but after experiencing the spiritual energy and vibrant vitality of the Tree of Spiritual Eyes, he realized how truly mystical cultivation realm’s spiritual objects are.

Because this Tree of Spiritual Eyes could slowly grow alongside the Spirit Vein, but its growth required a long, extended time.

The only disappointment for Ye Jingcheng was that the Tree of Spiritual Eyes hadn’t spawned any Wood Demon or Stone Spirit, nor had it caused the Treasure Book to emit any spiritual light.

The whole Spirit Vein had left a blank area, precisely reserved by the Zhang Family for arranging the remaining Tier Four Top-Grade Spirit Gathering Array and Spirit-Attracting Stone.

Ye Jingcheng took these two items out one by one, and then extracted a large number of Spirit Stones to bury at the side!

After everything was set up, Ye Jingcheng didn’t immediately activate it but placed a Spirit-locking Array at the mountain peak, as most Spirit Vein upgrades would have tides emerging accordingly.

From a Tier Four Spiritual Vein transforming into a Tier Five Spiritual Vein, it would naturally be the same.

Even if it’s just the Ascension Spirit Effect of the Spirit Vein Group, it can offer many cultivators a chance to break through.

Most of the spiritual energy tides, Ye Jingcheng naturally planned to lock them in place, then have the family members close to breakthrough and talented members receive the baptism of the spiritual energy tide.

Once the last Array Banner was set up, the Spirit-locking Array transformed into an oven-like array.

He began to activate the array, and immediately countless spiritual lights emerged; at the same time, an extremely pure spiritual energy burst forth.

In an instant, the spiritual light became as dense as a geyser of multicolored vapor.

The aura of the Spirit Vein also transitioned from Tier Four Top-Grade and began rapidly ascending.

Only waiting for the level to reach Tier Five, turning into the appearance of a spiritual energy tide.

Of course, this process still required some time.

The Ye Family also had to prepare some Spirit Stones.

And as the spiritual energy erupted.

In the distance, the Spirit Vein began to respond one by one, from a sky view, one would see these Spirit Veins distributed in a specific array pattern.

Resembling a long dragon shadow.

At this moment, the Earth Dragon Demon King and Ye Xuefan and many other Ye Clan members also watched over.

With the Spirit Vein advancing to Tier Five, the Ye Family, even lacking Nascent Soul Combat Power, could be counted as having the foundation of a Nascent Soul Clan.

Then, as the Spirit Vein was advancing, a teleportation array at the lake bottom also began to glow.

Soon after, many cultivators appeared on top of the teleportation array.

Among them were Ye Xueliang, along with hidden individuals like Ye Jing Hu from the Ye Family in the Hidden Valley, and Ye Xuejing, along with more than ten people from the Wan Family.

They just happened to be transported over, also just in time to sense the transformation of the Spirit Vein!
