Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Celestial Shadow Peak summit, Ye Jingcheng’s cave residence.

A figure descended in front of the courtyard, precisely Ye Jingcheng returning from the oasis.

Seeing his cave and courtyard, a sense of joy and anticipation filled him instantly as he returned home.

After all, he was no longer the same as before; he had a partner and children.

What he thought about during the day and yearned for during the night were nothing more than this.

He cast out a Spirit Talisman, yet unexpectedly, before the talisman was sent out, a pair of young boy and girl pushed open the courtyard gate.

“Welcome home, Father!” Two tender voices emerged.

And along with three smiles, Ye Jingcheng’s smile instantly grew even wider.

The three had long been hiding outside the courtyard gate; naturally, Chu Yanqing knew Ye Jingcheng’s habit of informing through Spirit Talismans, so she specifically planned a surprise for him behind the door.

“Yanqing, Feng’Er, Nian’Er!” Ye Jingcheng stepped forward to embrace Chu Yanqing.

The latter still gently blinked her spiritual eyes, brows slightly arched, nose high, lips red, teeth white.

Her black hair draped over her shoulders, making her skin appear like white jade, her face fair, her expression gentle, causing Ye Jingcheng to irresistibly pull Chu Yanqing into his arms.

“You’ve worked hard!”

After a long while, feeling Chu Yanqing’s slight resistance, Ye Jingcheng released her.

Then focused on Ye Qingnian and Ye Qingfeng.

Both were now nine years old, their faces were delicate, with noses and mouths resembling Chu Yanqing somewhat, while their brows and eyes were more like his.

At this moment, both were pouting slightly, evidently dissatisfied that this father was only hugging their mother.

“Let’s eat, lunch is prepared!” Chu Yanqing spoke promptly.

Behind her on the stone table was already a spread of food, including Spiritual Cuisine and ordinary dishes.

Since Qingnian and Qingfeng were still mortals and hadn’t begun cultivation, they could only consume ordinary ingredients or Spiritual Cuisine with mild spiritual energy.

Beside the table was that apricot tree.

At this moment it was its flowering season, the apricot blossoms blooming full of branches, white and resplendent, like the snow on the mountaintop, cluster after cluster, looking extremely joyful.

“This year we can harvest the Spiritual Almonds together as a family!” Seeing Ye Jingcheng’s gaze, Chu Yanqing added with a smile.

Previously they had always planned to pick Spiritual Almonds together, but most cultivators were often in seclusion; Ye Jingcheng had been at the Celestial Departure Grassland all these years, thus naturally had no time.

“Yay!” Ye Qingfeng instantly became excited, the little girl clearly more interested in picking and eating.

Only Ye Qingnian muttered.

“What’s so special about picking Spiritual Almonds? Contracting a Golden Giant Lizard in Dragon Valley would be much cooler!”

“You two should not aim too high!” Seeing this, Chu Yanqing reminded them repeatedly.

She and Ye Jingcheng were a bit worried that due to the Ye Family’s status, Ye Qingnian and Ye Qingfeng might become arrogant and aim too high.

That’s certainly not what they wished to see.

Seeing Chu Yanqing’s reprimand, Ye Jingcheng felt a bit guilty, as Chu Yanqing had been the one taking care all these years.

“I’ve brought gifts for you all.” Ye Jingcheng spoke under these circumstances.

First giving Chu Yanqing Spirit Pills.

These Spirit Pills were Water Attribute Black Water Pills, each having Spirit Fragrance, and even a few carried Pill Patterns.

Besides the Black Water Pill, there were mid-stage Third Tier Water Spirit Beads.

Water Spirit Beads could reduce Erysipelas, and combined with Black Water Pills, Chu Yanqing’s breakthrough to the late stage of Purple Mansion was definitely near!

Although Chu Yanqing was a Spirit Body, she did suffer from some blood and energy damage due to pregnancy and childbirth, delaying her cultivation a bit.

“Thank you, Brother Cheng!” Chu Yanqing was full of joy, as indeed her cultivation was somewhat behind.

Ye Jingcheng after this, also retrieved two Spirit Beast Bags.

From one Spirit Beast Bag emerged a Long-eared Red Rabbit cub, while the other held a Blood Jade Lion cub.

Both Spirit Beasts weren’t particularly great; upon maturity, they could only reach Tier One Peak, and even with advancement, they could merely become Tier Two Demon Beasts.

But for Ye Jingcheng, this was the start of cultivating his children’s interest in Spirit Beasts.

“Thank you, Father!” Upon seeing Ye Jingcheng take out the Blood Jade Lion, Ye Qingnian’s eyes immediately widened.

Although the lion cub was only as big as a small dog, it already showed hints of majesty, letting out a small roar, revealing tiny baby teeth.

He rushed forward to hug it, barely able to let go.

Ye Qingfeng wasn’t very interested but thought the Red Rabbit looked pretty, so she couldn’t help but touch the Long-eared Red Rabbit’s fur, feeling its warmth, she marvelled:

“This rabbit is so warm!”

“Thank you, Father!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingnian quickly touched the Blood Jade Lion, finding it not warm, felt disappointed, then went to touch Ye Qingfeng’s Red Rabbit.

“I’ve seen Cousin Yunxi’s family’s Spirit Beast Jade Talisman; your Red Rabbit isn’t impressive at all!” Ye Qingnian added.

“But it’s very pretty!” Ye Qingfeng didn’t care about its prowess.

Seeing the two little kids bickering, Ye Jingcheng also chuckled lightly.

“You both shouldn’t think it’s fun; these are your Spirit Beasts. As Ye Family members, you should learn Beast Breeding from a young age, so in the future, you can excel at Beast Taming!”

“Every three months, your mother and I will inspect!” Ye Jingcheng spoke seriously.

Ye Qingnian immediately pounded his chest in agreement, while Ye Qingfeng nodded resignedly.

Neither could use Storage Bags or Spirit Beast Bags, so they had to hide their respective Spirit Beasts in their rooms.

Even warning each other not to sneakily touch them.

Ye Jingcheng and Chu Yanqing watched them bustle, caution each other, then sat down at the table with smiles.

Soon, Qingnian and Qingfeng arrived at the table, and the four started lunch.

Lunch was simple, but Ye Jingcheng’s mind was filled with thoughts. Before, he could eat like this after Ye Haiyun taught him Alchemy Skill, also mentioning the test of Ye Jingcheng’s Alchemy Skill.

But now, no one would test his Alchemy Skill anymore.

In contemplation, he attentively helped serve dishes to the three.

A brief lunch, yet made Ye Jingcheng feel extremely relaxed and comfortable.

It was the beauty of returning to the family, and also the relief of having surpassed the Ye Family’s Demon Emperor prophecy.

“Time to test their Spirit Roots!” After finishing the meal, Chu Yanqing spoke.

“Hmm, alright!” Ye Jingcheng nodded.

But in fact, looking at Chu Yanqing’s eyes and attitude, he felt that Chu Yanqing might have already tested them.

One must know that the other party was also worried when both were just born.

However, Ye Jingcheng did not expose it; instead, he felt a sense of relief, which meant that Ye Qingfeng and Ye Qingnian should both have Spirit Roots.

Otherwise, even if Ye Jingcheng had the Longevity Spiritual Peach, it would be useless for mortals.

That scenario, Ye Jingcheng might not even know how to face it himself.

The two children were a bit nervous upon hearing about the Spirit Root testing.

Over the years, they had interacted quite a lot with Ye Yunxi and knew many things.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng take out the Spirit Testing Disc, Ye Qingnian was even a bit nervous, grabbing his hand, but when Ye Jingcheng asked who would go first, Ye Qingnian mustered up the courage to go first.

According to his words, he was the elder brother, and he had to take responsibility!

The Spirit Testing Disc that Ye Jingcheng took out was extremely precise, even if you went to buy it in the Eastern Domain, it would require nearly a thousand Spirit Stones.

As Ye Qingnian’s hand pressed on it, a surge of Spiritual Light flowed into Ye Qingnian’s body.

The next moment, a magnificent tricolored Spiritual Light burst forth brilliantly.

Moreover, each color of Spiritual Light was about a meter high, and this scene couldn’t help but bring joy to Ye Jingcheng.

Instead, Ye Qingnian suddenly became a bit dejected.

“Only Three Spirit Roots!” Ye Qingnian was naturally downhearted; he knew about the existence of Celestial Spirit Root, Dual Spirit Roots, and Abnormal Spirit Roots.

“Qingnian, your talent is quite good. Your father only has Four Spirit Roots, and the most important thing is that your Spiritual Root Affinity is very high, which means your talent in cultivating Water Technique, Earth Technique, and Fire Technique will be strong!” Ye Jingcheng spoke repeatedly.

This was not just a comfort but an honest evaluation.

In the Cultivation Realm, many people only emphasized the number of Spirit Roots, thinking that the fewer the Spirit Roots, the easier it was to breakthrough. But in fact, Spiritual Root Affinity is also crucial.

With high affinity, even Five Spirit Roots would not be slow in breaking through.

But because the more Spirit Roots one has, the harder it is to increase affinity.

This has led to a common belief that Five Spirit Roots are not talented.

But in fact, even Five Spirit Roots have their differences.

Just like Ye Jingteng, although he had Dual Spirit Roots, his Spiritual Root Affinity was not very strong, so he seemed rather ordinary at the beginning in the Taiyi Sect!

Ye Qingnian’s Spiritual Root Affinity was definitely among the best in the Ye Family, and there was another Secret Technique Ye Jingcheng hadn’t mentioned: the Spiritual Replenishment Method.

Ye Qingnian was definitely suitable for the Spiritual Replenishment Method as well.

“Brother Cheng, such a high affinity might indicate a hidden Spirit Body!” Chu Yanqing added from the side.

Because she herself had a hidden Spirit Body, she had more experience.

Hearing this, Ye Qingnian became excited again.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingnian’s heart was filled with excitement once again.

Ye Jingcheng also nodded to this.

After all, Ye Qingnian’s Spiritual Root Affinity was indeed extraordinary.

“Don’t be proud. In the Ye Family, even those with Five Spirit Roots have hopes of breaking through to Nascent Soul, while those with Celestial Spirit Root might not even reach Foundation Establishment!” Ye Jingcheng slightly exaggerated in his teaching.

Ye Qingnian then pursed his lips and pushed Ye Qingfeng forward.

When Ye Qingfeng placed her hand on the Spirit Testing Disc, a brilliant flame immediately filled the entire courtyard.

It also reached a height of about a meter.

But because it was only bright red, it appeared particularly dazzling.

“Celestial Spirit Root!” Ye Jingcheng was taken aback.

Then, he was ecstatic.

He never expected that he would have a daughter with a Celestial Spirit Root, and such strong affinity too.

This was clearly a born Pill Master and Artifact Refiner!

“Good, good, good!” Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.

At this moment, he also somewhat understood the expression of the family elders when they looked at him.

It was clearly pride and joy.

“Brother Cheng, at the upcoming Immortal Ascension Conference, should we let Nian’er and Feng’er be a bit more low-key?” Chu Yanqing said with some concern.

“No need!” Ye Jingcheng understood Chu Yanqing’s worries, but in this Desert Sea, the Ye Family was now truly the king.

There was no need to be so restrained. Instead, by showcasing the family’s foundation, other Desert Sea families would fear the Ye Family.

Moreover, for the Ye Family’s future development, it was inevitable to have many clan members without Ye Family blood.

To gain their loyalty, it couldn’t just be relying on hidden Beast Communication Patterns; there also needed to be the suppression of Spirit Roots and Spirit Bodies.

Moreover, the Ye Family members also needed more positive stimuli.

That was the true era of competition for the Ye Family!

Ye Jingcheng at this moment couldn’t help but imagine the ten outstanding talents of the Ye Family.

Because of the growing number of clan cultivators, the previous seven outstanding talents had now become ten outstanding talents.

There were both Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators, and previously, Dual Spirit Roots at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining in their thirties had a chance.

Now, it seemed that even those in their early twenties at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining might not be steady.

“Hmm, Brother Cheng, I’ll listen to you!” Chu Yanqing also nodded.

She was also very satisfied with the talents of the two children.

Of course, after speaking, she glanced at the two children again:

“Nian’er, Feng’er, although you have good talents, your generation is not insignificant either. Be sure to remain humble. In the future, when you enter the Clan Studies, you must yield to other clan members. If I find out that you two are arrogant because of your good talents and bully other clan members, Mother will definitely punish you severely!”

Currently, the generation has reached the Yun Generation, and there are indeed quite a few people who will then chase Ye Qingnian and Ye Qingfeng, calling them uncle and aunt.

Hearing this, the two children nodded repeatedly.

Looking at Chu Yanqing’s eyes, they were a bit fearful. Apparently, over the years, Chu Yanqing has not only focused on cultivation but also on educating the two.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng was also quite relieved. Actually, his attention was more focused on the family affairs, and sometimes he could be neglectful of his own children and wife.

However, Chu Yanqing received a good education in the Chu Family and had an excellent overall view, which was something he was satisfied with.

Otherwise, if it were an ordinary Loose Cultivator woman, it was very likely she would be excessively indulgent with two children possessing such talents.
