Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Above the Desert Sea, two mountain peaks rose straight through the vast white mist.

They were like the flourishing bamboo shoots of spring, not even the sea of clouds could conceal them, nor could the Ye Family’s own arrays fully cover them.

Most high mountains rise with the elevation of spirit veins, and Celestial Shadow Peak and Earth Shadow Peak are no exceptions.

On the mountainside of Celestial Shadow Peak, a spirit medicine garden was boldly situated, right amidst the white mist.

A few Star Pear Woods stood tall in the center of the spirit medicine garden, with all their leaves emitting starlight, shimmering brilliantly along with the ebb and flow of spiritual energy.

And a female cultivator in a red dress was taking out some spirit liquid for the Star Pear Woods.

“Elder Xing, is this spirit liquid suitable?” After applying the spirit liquid around, the female cultivator asked.

“Suitable, Jingyu, this spirit liquid seems even more suitable for us than before!” Those referred to as Elder Xing were Ye Jingcheng’s group of Wood Demons; although the soul contracts had not yet been lifted, the family had started to raise them, and the star pear fruits obtained also belonged to the family, with half being given to Ye Jingcheng. Of course, if Ye Jingcheng did not want the star pear fruits, they would be converted into corresponding contribution points for him.

Ye Jingyu and Ye Xinghan were the ones researching the Wood Heart Spirit Liquid, although Ye Jingyu’s cultivation was still at the peak of the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment.

In recent years, she had communicated with a Tier Two Spirit Beast, but unfortunately, she failed to advance to Tier Two, causing the bloodline to explode violently, and she had to breed a new spirit beast. Along with researching Wood Pattern and Spirit Liquid, her cultivation progress was not very fast.

After all, what the Ye Family currently lacked most was wood attribute demon beasts.

“Better is even better!” Hearing the affirmative responses from the Star Pear Wood Demons, Ye Jingyu was very satisfied, indicating that these years’ efforts hadn’t been in vain.

Once it reached a certain level, she could provide it to Ye Jingcheng, allowing Peach Wood to also consume both Wood Heart and spirit liquid, to break through sooner so that the clan members of the Ye Family would have the opportunity to consume spirit peaches with better life-extending effects.

Ye Jingyu enjoyed cultivating the spirit plants of the Ye Family. If selling spirit pills in Taichang Market helped her for Foundation Establishment, cultivating spirit medicine now was something she genuinely loved, and she continued to explore the idea of stealing life.

After all, the lifespan of Wood Demons is so long; if she could succeed in her research, the Ye Family’s future would truly be a lasting legacy.

Peach Wood is ultimately limited.

For cultivators, what limits them is always insufficient lifespan.

However, before that, how to cultivate more Wood Demons, and research spirit liquids that accelerate the Demons’ cultivation, were also her research directions.

“By the way, Elder Xing, is the Spirit Seed Array without any other issues?” Ye Jingyu asked again.

This spirit medicine garden atop Celestial Shadow Peak was not an ordinary spirit medicine garden, enhanced with the Spirit Seed Spirit Nourishing Array obtained from the Pill Desolate Secret Realm.

However, as the Ye Family had recreated it, they were still in the exploration stage, probing the proportions of various spirit medicines.

It was naturally better to let these Star Pear Woods, originally from the spirit medicine gardens of the Pill Desolate Secret Realm, explore this.

“It’s already very close; this kind of array can accelerate our cultivation and improve the effects of our star pears!” The Star Pear Wood Great Demons did not hide anything.

At least, they were currently very satisfied with Celestial Shadow Peak, with its Tier Five Spirit Vein and the Spirit Seed Array, things they never dared to dream of before.

Of course, they knew, this was because the Ye Family did not have much Tier Four Spirit Medicine to plant yet. Once there were more Tier Four Spirit Medicines, they would certainly no longer have access to the Spirit Seed Array for their cultivation in the future.

“Alright, thank you, Elder Xing!” Ye Jingyu nodded, preparing to leave.

The Ye Family now had several spirit medicine gardens, including two Tier Four Spirit Medicine Gardens, which meant Ye Jingyu carried a significant responsibility.

However, before she left, she noticed an impressive spiritual pressure emanating from the mountainside of Celestial Shadow Peak.

Simultaneously, numerous spiritual energies from the mountain converged towards that location.

“Isn’t this the fifth time this month?” Ye Jingyu’s eyes showed a mix of envy and pride.

The commotions were so great because many were breaking through from Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment.

After the Ye Family experienced the Beast Tide and the Desert Sea War, many members accumulated substantial resources in terms of treasures, spirit medicines, magical combat experience, and determination, reaching critical points for breakthroughs.

Now that the Desert Sea had stabilized, breakthroughs were emerging like bamboo shoots after rain.

This doesn’t even count those advancing by just a small tier.

If so, there would be even more; in the past six months alone, at least one-fourth of the Ye family’s members had broken through.

And this was because some people’s seclusion for breakthroughs took a longer time.

“This time, it should be from the Qing Generation!” Ye Jingyu guessed based on the location of the cave mansion.

Currently, the Ye Family, having occupied the Celestial Phoenix Oasis, had many vacant spirit veins and peaks available.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators could choose to establish their cave mansions on other peaks rather than stay confined to Celestial Shadow Peak and Earth Shadow Peak.

This was more liberating and convenient for raising spirit beasts, and most of these clan members occupied a peak with two or three people, only coming to the designated seclusion areas on Celestial Shadow Peak and Earth Shadow Peak when breakthrough time came.

Ye Jingyu watched for a while, then murmured:

“Once the family meeting concludes, I also need to go into seclusion!”

…

Celestial Shadow Peak, Ye Jingcheng’s cave mansion, Chu Yanqing’s belly was noticeably large and round.

At this moment, she was beneath the Spiritual Apricot Tree, basking in the sunlight and perusing a jade talisman.

Due to her pregnancy, her cultivation time naturally decreased, leaving her more time for artifact refining, primarily checking the artifact refining jade talisman.

The Zhang family’s artifact refining jade talismans left quite a bit behind, some even concerning the refining of Tier Four Magical Treasures, which fascinated Chu Yanqing.

What she wanted most now was to refine a lifebound magical treasure for Ye Jingcheng.

Although her current cultivation level didn’t allow it, she still aimed to master the craft early so she could start refining one as soon as her cultivation reached the necessary level.

Chu Yanqing was clearly absorbed in her studies; even when Ye Jingcheng stood beside her, she didn’t notice.

Ye Jingcheng didn’t disturb her, standing by her side, occasionally glancing at Chu Yanqing’s face and then at her belly, a smile naturally forming on his face.

“Brother Cheng, you’re out of seclusion?” Chu Yanqing finally realized, seeing Ye Jingcheng beside her, and she intended to pour spirit tea.

In front of this cave dwelling, there is still a small spirit field where Chu Yanqing has specially transplanted some Yunfu Tea and Spring Tea.

The Spring Tea grows quickly, while Yunfu Tea is the old tea of the Ye Family, also tier two.

As for tier three spirit tea, there is currently only one plant, grown in the tier four spirit medicine garden.

“No need, I’ll do it myself!” Ye Jingcheng took the teapot and also started brewing.

At this moment, Chu Yanqing, in his view, naturally shouldn’t move casually, risking the fetal energy.

Counting the days, it won’t be long now.

The pregnancy happened in summer, but now it’s early spring.

“Have you thought of names yet?” Chu Yanqing also opened her mouth to ask.

“I have thought about it, let’s call them Ye Qingnian and Ye Qingfeng!” Ye Jingcheng replied.

For a cultivator, one can easily determine the gender of the child in the womb.

At this moment, it’s the first year the Ye Family has established itself in the Desert Sea, so naming one Qingnian is naturally ideal, while the girl, born during the Celestial Phoenix Oasis, marking another rebirth for the Ye Family, suits the name Qingfeng better.

“Brother Cheng, what if our children have no spirit roots?” Chu Yanqing couldn’t help but worry and speak up.

For cultivators, it’s very common to give birth to children without spirit roots.

This is why many cultivators are reluctant to have offspring, as without spirit roots, they easily end up burying the young.

It’s a hurtful feeling.

“Don’t worry, they’ll definitely have spirit roots, and their talents won’t be poor!” Ye Jingcheng said with a smile.

Of course, he wasn’t entirely sure in his heart.

But compared to other cultivators, as long as the Ye Family has Ye Family blood, there’s still the Beast Communication Pattern to fall back on.

Even with five spirit roots, as long as the Beast Communication Pattern is more than five inches, Ye Jingcheng can help arrange a suitable spirit beast for them.

After all, his five spirit beasts can start breeding and multiplying.

Hearing Ye Jingcheng talk like this, Chu Yanqing also smiled.

“I feel they are rowdy in my belly!”

Ye Jingcheng heard this and leaned down to seriously teach the two little ones.

“Brother Cheng, it seems the clan meeting will begin in a few days; you should go attend to it. I heard there are many immortal seedlings this year!” Chu Yanqing saw Ye Jingcheng still there and knew that Ye Jingcheng, being a core clan member of the Ye Family and the only Golden Core cultivator, had a lot of responsibilities.

The fact that Ye Jingcheng could spare a few moments for her made her very touched; she was born into a cultivation family, so she understands that many clan cultivators, even after marrying, don’t care much for their families.

Especially since every cultivator has accepted the clan studies, in which the clan holds significant weight.

“Alright!” Ye Jingcheng did not act coyly; he indeed needed to tend to the clan affairs.

After all, Ye Xuefan is still in seclusion; Ye Haiyan and Ye Haifei are also in seclusion, while Ye Xueliang started seclusion months ago, aiming for the Purple Mansion.

Currently, the clan is managed by Ye Haicheng and Ye Jingfeng and Ye Haisheng.

The clan reforms and new hall establishment have reached a critical moment.

Of course, Chu Yanqing mentioning the numerous immortal seedlings also piqued his interest.

After all, the weakest aspect of the Ye Family is its clan members.

Even without the Ye Family bloodline, it’s worth cultivating, as they are just children around ten years old who will naturally hold the clan dear after going through the clan studies.

Not to mention accomplishing great and magnificent feats, but at least they can help maintain the Desert Sea for the Ye Family and explore various spirit vein ores.

Of course, the Ye Family also needs to summarize its existing resources.

After speaking, Ye Jingcheng flew towards the clan’s assembly hall.

In no time, he arrived in front of a five-story hall.

This hall wasn’t built by the Ye Family; it was constructed by the Zhang Family earlier, clearly seeing themselves as a Nascent Soul power.

Additionally, the materials used for the hall are tier two spirit materials; the entire hall is almost as valuable as spirit stones.

The Ye Family naturally wouldn’t waste these materials, replacing the plaque and adjusting the murals on the walls and some unique styles before using it normally.

Upon entering, Ye Jingcheng saw many young clan members from Ye Family’s Lingyun Peak, including Ye Qingwen, Ye Qingfeng, Ye Jingting, and others.

They were kneeling before Ye Haicheng at this moment.

At this moment, Ye Haicheng seemed distressed.

Which made Ye Jingcheng somewhat perplexed.

“Eleventh Uncle, you’re here too. Qingwen dares to ask, how will the Lingyun Peak clan members be arranged from today onwards!” Ye Qingwen was the first to speak, then took out a storage bag.

“This is my harvest over the years in the Desert Sea, and my gains from the Secret Realm. I haven’t used a single bit!” Ye Qingwen continued explaining.

Ye Jingcheng understood immediately that these Lingyun Peak clan members were dissatisfied that the people from Hidden Peak could freely cultivate in the Desert Sea, while Lingyun Peak members had to stay at Lingyun Peak, Taihang Market, and Taichang Market, constantly on edge.

As the secrets of the clan unfolded before everyone, clearly, clan members began to pursue fairness within the Ye Family!

This point is easily understood by the older generation who has experienced many Ye Family matters.

But for these younger members, they only feel that the Ye Family is abandoning Lingyun Peak.

They may even believe Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haicheng are favoring Hidden Peak.

“Eleventh Brother, Second Brother, Sixth Brother, Brother Jiu, and Qing Yan can’t attend the clan meeting, so it can’t truly be considered a Ye Family clan meeting!” Even Ye Jingting couldn’t help but speak up.
