Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Desert Sea, within a certain Sand Valley.

Here, countless holes cover the ground densely, and sand ginseng scorpions crawl out, covering more than half of the sand valley.

These sand ginseng scorpions are coated with a yellow-brown sheen.

Fat and sharp, they resemble a scorpion-shaped earth ginseng, with particularly strong pincers.

They enjoy feeding on sand gold, supplemented with blood food.

Their dietary habits are somewhat similar to earthworms, making them quite unique in the Desert Sea.

“Jing Chong, this is the pill formula I’ve improved upon based on the Earth Rank Pill. In the future, it may even lead to the emergence of Tier Two Peak or even Tier Three sand ginseng scorpions!” Ye Jingcheng crouched and released a sand ginseng scorpion.

He also handed a jade talisman to Ye Jingchong.

This jade talisman not only contains the improved pill formula, but is also derived from a Blood Contract that Ye Jingcheng specially made and then released.

The advancement pill formula for Tier One sand ginseng scorpions is not difficult.

The materials are relatively easy to find, considering the Ye Family controls the entire Desert Sea Cultivation Realm.

The sand ginseng scorpions now contribute significantly to the Ye Family’s income, especially given their large population, naturally warranting Ye Jingcheng to specially contract one to obtain the pill formula.

Behind him, Chu Yanqing also brought Ye Qingnian and Ye Qingfeng.

The two little ones, now over a year old, wanted to catch sand ginseng scorpions, but Chu Yanqing constantly stopped them, causing the two little ones to howl anxiously.

They almost burst into tears.

“Don’t rush forward anymore, or your father will send you back to Celestial Shadow Peak!” Chu Yanqing chided.

This time, due to the destruction of the teleportation array, Ye Jingcheng plans to go to the Celestial Departure Grassland to develop Hidden Peak.

Taking Chu Yanqing and the two little ones along, they decided to tour the various oases in the Desert Sea.

Their first stop was the Ye Family’s sand ginseng scorpion breeding base.

Now, the Ye Family uses the Child-Mother Blood Contract Array to contract a few Scorpion Kings, making the ordinary sand ginseng scorpions less hostile to the Ye Family. With Spirit Nourishing Pills, these sand ginseng scorpions can even crawl on the palms of cultivators without stinging.

Of course, even so, Ye Jingcheng and Chu Yanqing are concerned about the sand ginseng scorpions suddenly attacking, possibly injuring the little ones.

Thus, they can catch the Jade Ring Rats, but not the sand ginseng scorpions.

After all, the little ones still have mortal bodies.

So, they bind them with spiritual techniques.

The two little ones remain stubborn, opening their mouths to reveal baby teeth, babbling as they try to rush forward.

Ye Jingcheng stepped forward to pick them up.

With one in each arm, Ye Jingcheng spoke to Ye Jingchong:

“Jing Chong, has the foreign affairs tower opened the Celestial Tower recently? Any girls that catch your eye?”

“Not yet.” Ye Jingchong shook his head.

However, he quickly added:

“Eleventh Brother, I think the family’s path of spirit insect cultivation is a long journey, and I don’t want to find a partner for now!”

Nearly a year has passed since the Ye Family’s clan meeting, with about seventy to eighty family members successfully engaging in dual cultivation.

Don’t think this number is small; the Ye Family in the Desert Sea only has just over a thousand cultivators, including the newly grown immortal seedlings.

And the female cultivators throughout the Desert Sea are fewer than imagined, including some clansmen marrying mortal women.

Clearly, they are targeting the family’s reproductive reward stipends.

To some cultivators, this is more convenient than going out to hunt demons!

Ye Jingcheng can already envision what a grand occasion the Ye Family’s Immortal Ascension Conference will be in the next decade.

“Indeed, the family still needs your continued efforts!” Ye Jingcheng smiled and nodded.

After checking on the sand ginseng scorpions, he planned to visit the Forbidden Land of Fallen Souls.

Controlling some soul-devouring insects there would provide the Ye Family with more means in the future.

Besides, investigations of the strongest soul-devouring insects in the area must be conducted beforehand.

His Dream-Devouring Worm has advanced three times, now a great demon, providing him with considerable soul power.

The Tier Four Pill Formula also requires the essence blood of the Tier Four Soul-Devouring Insect Demon King.

If possible, Ye Jingcheng still wants to control the Tier Four Soul-Devouring Insect Demon King.

And thus control the entire soul-devouring insect swarm.

As Ye Jingcheng and Chu Yanqing departed.

Ye Jingchong was delighted.

He transmitted his voice to the surroundings, and shortly after, several cultivators approached.

“You always say the stipend for cultivating spirit insects isn’t particularly high, but now that we have a pill formula, the future sand ginseng scorpions will grow better, possibly reaching Tier Two Peak. Then, this Insect Valley will become the richest one in the Ye Family!”

“If you don’t strive, don’t blame me for weeding you out through elimination!”

“Head immediately to the family’s Pill Hall to publish the pill formula task!” Ye Jingchong told a few young Insect Valley clansmen.

Upon hearing Ye Jingchong, they became urgent, joyful, and a little nervous.

They didn’t know how Ye Jingchong found out about their private discussions on the spirit stone oil water across various Ye Family industries.

Now they are genuinely worried about being eliminated.

Ye Jingcheng’s fame for creating pill formulas is widespread in the Ye Family, and they have no doubt.

Moreover, the Ye Family’s Vein-Protecting Pill, improved by Ye Qingyan, has better effects.

Currently, the success rate of advancing Ye Family spirit beasts has increased by at least thirty percent.

“Alright, Uncle Jing Chong!” Several young clansmen nodded immediately.

…

Forbidden Land of Fallen Souls, the yellow sand continued to howl as ever.

It seemed as though some demon beast was manipulating the storm.

Arriving alone, Ye Jingcheng stood at the edge of the forbidden land.

Chu Yanqing, Qingnian, and Qingfeng all fell onto the nearest oasis.

On his shoulder lay the Dream-Devouring Worm, which had broken through to Tier Three.

At this moment, the Dream-Devouring Worm hissed, obviously very interested in the Soul-Devouring Insects of the Forbidden Land of Fallen Souls.

It couldn’t wait for Ye Jingcheng to enter and devour all those Soul-Devouring Insects.

Ye Jingcheng naturally had no intention of catering to the Dream-Devouring Worm’s desires.

He wanted to know the highest tier of the Soul-Devouring Insects in this Forbidden Land.

So, he first set up several top-grade Tier Three arrays to ensure his invincible position and then began to take out several Cloud Deer, slitting their throats to let the blood flow.

With the thick scent of blood, as expected, black storms started swirling as Soul-Devouring Insects flew towards them.

These Soul-Devouring Insects were as Ye Haisheng had described, led by Tier Three Soul-Devouring Insects, accompanied by numerous Tier One and Two Soul-Devouring Insects.

The cultivation of these Soul-Devouring Insects could also be easily determined, as their dense spirit patterns and size offered great distinction.

And the batch of Soul-Devouring Insects attracted by Ye Jingcheng apparently had only one at the early stage of Tier Three.

At this moment, seeing no cultivation fluctuation from Ye Jingcheng, they unleashed the Soul-Slaying Sound.

Ye Jingcheng also held his head, pretending to have his divine soul injured.

Sure enough, all those Soul-Devouring Insects shrieked and swarmed in fiercely.

But in the next moment, Ye Jingcheng threw out the Void Profound Bottle, trapping hundreds of Soul-Devouring Insects inside it.

While the Ye Family found it hard to tame these Soul-Devouring Insects due to their powerful divine soul and high spiritual wisdom, their impressive reproductive ability was their best feature.

The Ye Family could breed them once with the Demon-enticing Grass.

Ye Jingcheng did not plan to imprison this Tier Three Soul-Devouring Insect.

Instead, he directly killed it and let the Dream-Devouring Worm devour the beast soul.

After the beast soul was devoured, Ye Jingcheng began to enter the array to delve into dreams and probe memories.

The memory of the Soul-Devouring Insect was very clear but very simple.

The entire Tier Three Soul-Devouring Insect had never left the Forbidden Land of Fallen Souls.

And within this Forbidden Land, there were many Tier Three Great Demon Soul-Devouring Insects.

Many Sand Soul Grass grew inside.

This Sand Soul Grass was occupied by Tier Three Great Demons.

Only when they were on the verge of breakthrough would they chew over a leaf, proving their extreme cunning.

Ye Jingcheng was still investigating at this moment.

The next instant, he finally discovered the Soul-Devouring Insect heading deep into the Forbidden Land.

And inside, this Soul-Devouring Insect finally felt tremendous pressure.

“Demon King!” Ye Jingcheng was completely sure.

Certainly, he also felt a little excited at heart, as this meant that the difficulty of refining the Tier Four Advancement Pill for the Dream-Devouring Worm greatly reduced.

Of course, he quickly frowned, seeing that there were quite a few Demon Kings inside, at least three.

According to the memory of the Great Demon.

At this moment, even Ye Jingcheng felt a bit apprehensive.

Through the memory, he couldn’t determine whether the Soul-Devouring Insect Demon Kings were at mid-stage or late-stage of Fourth Tier.

If he acted rashly, he might be killed by the Soul-Devouring Insects.

After all, he currently did not possess the family’s Spirit Treasure Blood Soul Bead.

Otherwise, with the Spirit Treasure, he dared to venture a probe inside.

At last, he even noticed some corner of an array disc’s appearance.

Such that seemingly resembled a teleportation array or an inheritance ground’s array.

Ye Jingcheng’s interest peaked at once.

But unfortunately, these Great Demon Soul-Devouring Insects rarely went deep into the Forbidden Land.

Even if Ye Jingcheng repeatedly entered dreams, he couldn’t see more.

When the black fog of the Dream-Devouring Worm was exhausted, Ye Jingcheng also woke up from his dream state.

He squatted nearby once more, luring and killing Tier Three Great Demons again.

He wanted to know more.

If the Forbidden Land indeed had a teleportation array, the Ye Family might find a new way to the Eastern Domain.

Of course, even if it did not lead to the Eastern Domain, it would still be an opportunity for the Ye Family.

Ye Jingcheng naturally did not want to miss it.

Thus, in the ensuing days, Ye Jingcheng crouched outside the Forbidden Land.

Within half a month, he even slew seven Tier Three Soul-Devouring Great Demons.

Among them, five had Tier Three Inner Cores.

Although these were much smaller than usual Tier Three Great Demon Inner Cores, they were still quite decent.

Ye Jingcheng even thought that refining divine soul nourishing spirit pills might be possible.

Of course, post-devouring, he discovered further details about the depths of the Forbidden Land.

There seemed to be five Demon Kings inside.

Possibly even late-stage Fourth Tier.

No wonder neither the Zhangs nor the Jia family had explored this Forbidden Land.

Unsurprisingly, this place indeed lived up to the name of Forbidden Land; even now, Ye Jingcheng, being aware, dared not enter it recklessly since the suppression on divine sense was immense, and if surrounded by multiple Insect Kings and an insect swarm, he had no confidence in leaving unharmed.

And the teleportation array details, Ye Jingcheng discovered clearly.

It seemed to be an ancient transmission array, but Ye Jingcheng had no idea where it might lead!
