Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

The spring rain of spring once again covered Lingyun Peak.

The vegetation grew wildly, the fragrance spread everywhere, the streams babbled, and the entire mountain peak was full of vitality.

Inside the great hall, Ye Jingyun and Ye Jingyu were present, naturally accompanied by Ye Jing Hu, who had just broken through to the Purple Mansion realm.

After resolving his inner conflict, his cultivation truly advanced by leaps and bounds, and two years ago, he had broken through to the Purple Mansion, becoming the second Purple Mansion cultivator currently on Lingyun Peak.

At this moment, everyone gathered here to discuss both the Ye Family’s clan meeting at Lingyun Peak and the matter of the Teleportation Array.

The Ye Family had already gathered substantial resources at the Desert Sea, including magical artifacts, spirit fish, spirit stones, as well as various spirit beast materials and spirit pills, none of which could be brought back to Lingyun Peak. Converting them to resources would be a significant waste for the Ye Family.

And even though the Ye Family had news from the Central Domain, it was still too unfamiliar with it. It would take at least a few years of familiarization before they could truly showcase their abilities.

Before that, the Ye Family’s main trade destinations were still the Yan Kingdom and the other Eastern Domain countries.

Among them, because the Tian Dao Sect was weak, it was also quite a qualified trading partner.

The demand for magical artifacts from the other side was high, given that there were so many cultivators focusing on refining sabers in the sect.

The entire Nine Peaks consisted of nine different saber techniques.

When such a sect thrived, it was naturally very formidable.

But in decline, it would also collapse drastically.

Even though the Tian Dao Sect had started remedial measures in recent years, it was still to no avail.

“Let’s hold the Purple Mansion ceremony with Jing Hu’s breakthrough, inviting some Purple Mansion clans and also inviting the Xiao Family from Celestial Arrival Commandery, using them as intermediaries to meet the senior officials of the Tian Dao Sect, especially Master Mo Dao!”

“By the way, I’ll also appear under the identity of Jingcheng, and let the other Hidden Peak Race People pose as previous clan members to reappear in the broader vision. Otherwise, our negotiations on the Teleportation Array might suffer!” Ye Jingyu said.

At this moment, he was not just eyeing the Spatial Jade but also the Bone Flame Demon Fox Essence Blood of Master Mo Dao.

Spatial Jade alone was not worth mentioning!

The Tian Dao Sect was currently in need of Longevity Elixirs.

“Good!” Ye Jingyun and Ye Jing Hu both nodded.

However, after pondering for a while, they asked:

“Which peaks of the Taiyi Sect should we invite?”

“Invite all Five Peaks. Taiyi Sect has reached an agreement with Jingcheng; this time, invite all Five Peaks. Additionally, be wary of the Zhang Family’s remnants causing trouble, and also pay attention to the Jin and Kong families,” Ye Jingyu said.

As they settled on this, the Spiritual Energy in the sky suddenly began to gather.

Seeing this, a gleam appeared in Ye Jingyu’s eyes.

“Father is finally about to break through!” Ye Xingliu’s Purple Mansion Jade Liquid was obtained from Lingyun Peak, using Ye Qingyan’s quota, in fact.

But even though Ye Qingyan broke through two years ago, now he is merely in the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.

The Ye Family had prepared Ye Xingliu’s Purple Mansion Jade Liquid long ago; it just hadn’t been sent over due to the absence of a Teleportation Array.

“I’ll go control the Array and obscure it a bit!” Ye Jingyun immediately said.

Ye Jingyun went to control the Array, and Ye Jingyu and Ye Jing Hu headed towards the mountain peak.

They had both broken through to the Purple Mansion and knew well that, given the current situation of the Ye Family, breaking through to the Purple Mansion was not a major problem.

Ye Xingliu had previously served as the Patriarch, so there shouldn’t be any issues in terms of mindset and mana refinement.

Moreover, the Ye Family also had the Five Elements Celestial Secret Technique, enabling Ye Xingliu to at least refine the Gold and Water Celestial Mansions.

As expected, after the better part of a day, Ye Xingliu’s aura spread, transforming into the Purple Mansion.

However, when Ye Jingyu confronted Ye Xingliu, he found an expression of deep sorrow on the other’s face.

Observing this, Ye Jingyu did not speak. He merely informed the others to go cultivate on their own and then retreated.

Despite the Heart Demon Tribulation of the Purple Mansion posing no real threat to Ye Xingliu, it inevitably stirred some unpleasant memories for him.

…

At the Taichang Market, in the Ye Family Shop, Ye Qingyan’s pill furnace was burning fiercely, with three Fire-Devouring Sparrows adding fuel to the fire.

Soon, the furnace lid lifted, revealing a total of ten Jade Soul Pills.

Seeing this, Ye Qingyan was filled with joy.

“The alchemy method of Eleventh Uncle is indeed effective!” Ye Qingyan put away the spirit pills and carefully nurtured a few Fire-Devouring Sparrows.

Of course, at that moment, he was actually longing for a Three-Eyed Demon Roc.

Among fire-attribute spirit sparrows, the Three-Eyed Demon Roc was clearly higher-grade than the Fire-Devouring Sparrows.

But because he had been at the Taichang Market all this time and Ye Jingcheng was not in the Taihang Mountain Range, it was currently inconvenient.

He stepped out of the courtyard gate, only to find a lot of spirit talismans strewn at the entrance.

“Has Uncle Hu also broken through? It seems I need to work even harder…”

“The Kong Family is targeting our Ye Family again!” Ye Qingyan was first delighted, and then somewhat angry.

A few years ago, the Kong Family obtained a Tier Four Demon Beast Core, cultivating a Fake Pill Cultivator. Now they began to suppress the Ye Family’s tavern again.

The Jin Family was currently polite to the Ye Family, yet the Kong Family, having just recovered a bit, began to target the Ye Family. Ye Qingyan was naturally upset.

“Yun Yu, go and invite your Uncle Jing Teng and Aunt Qingshuang!” Ye Qingyan thought for a moment, then spoke directly.

Soon, in the courtyard, Ye Jingteng and Ye Qingshuang flew over, accompanied by several Taiyi Sect disciples.

Currently, Ye Qingshuang was not only the chief but her cultivation had reached the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, with a solid cultivation base.

“Elder brother, Qingshuang, please come in!” Ye Qingyan hurriedly invited both of them inside.

He then brought out two jade bottles, each surprisingly containing freshly refined Jade Soul Pills, one bottle with two pills, and the other with three.

“Qingyan, there’s no need to be so formal!” Ye Jingteng did not accept them immediately but instead said:

“I’ve heard about the Kong Family’s matters recently. Currently, I’ve arranged for the Taiyi Sect to be hosted in the Ye Family Tavern, though the Kong Family has been getting quite close with Dharma Peak lately!” Evidently, Ye Jingteng was worried that Ye Qingyan would discuss this matter, but seeing Ye Qingyan wave his hand dismissively.

“Elder brother, the Kong Family’s issues are mere trifles, not worth discussing. This time, it’s about Uncle Jinghu’s breakthrough and Eleventh Uncle’s return to Lingyun Peak, for which we’re holding a ceremony for Uncle Jinghu and commencing the Ye Family’s Immortal Ascension Conference!” Ye Qingyan spoke up.

“Jinghu has broken through as well?” Hearing this, Ye Jingteng couldn’t help but feel that his own cultivation at the Early Stage of Purple Mansion seemed somewhat lacking again.

“How’s your Eleventh Uncle’s alchemy skill now?” He immediately asked, eager to know.

He had prepared a lot of spirit medicine, wanting to exchange it for spirit pills with Ye Jingcheng.

Therefore, he was very excited.

After all, he hadn’t traded with Ye Jingcheng for decades, causing his cultivation to stagnate for a while.

“Eleventh Uncle is still in the Middle Stage of Purple Mansion!” Ye Qingyan couldn’t help but add.

Of course, he also brought out various invitation cards.

“Elder brother, Qingshuang, I hope you can help deliver these invitations to the cultivators of the Upper Sect’s Five Peaks!”

Ye Qingyan had prepared the invitations very comprehensively, inviting all the Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators of the Taiyi Sect, as well as some familiar Purple Mansion cultivators.

Of course, how many of these people could come, Ye Qingyan didn’t know.

But he thought it wouldn’t be too many; the Ye Family doing so was merely a gesture of respect.

“Naturally!” Ye Jingteng nodded.

“However, this time, you should also invite the Kong Family. You could seize the opportunity to put some pressure on them, and as for the Jin Family, I suggest inviting them as well, but don’t have too high hopes…” Ye Jingteng spoke.

Over the years, he had been in charge at Taichang Market for many years, with plenty of profits, becoming well aware of the competition among all the major sects.

Currently, the Jin Family’s power is not weak, possessing a true Golden Core, not a pseudo Golden Core.

As for the Kong Family, in Ye Jingteng’s view, they could never stand out.

They should be pressured; despite the obvious hints, they still dared to use underhanded tactics against the Ye Family Tavern.

Conversely, the Jin Family had previously taken the initiative to cede Cyan Willow Mountain, which was much better.

“Hmm!” Ye Qingyan nodded.

Of course, in his heart, he was well aware that Chu Yanqing was Ye Jingcheng’s wife, and with the Ye Family now breaking through to Tier Five strength, to the Ye Family, the Jin Family was no different from the Kong Family.

The current dilemma was how to make Taiyi Sect stand by and do nothing.

…

In the Desert Sea, at Celestial Shadow Peak.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng was meditating in the cave abode.

He was shrouded in a glow of yellow radiance.

Beads of sweat as large as beans dripped from his face, and his aura was fluctuating unpredictably.

It took him a long time to let out a sigh of relief.

“This Tier Five True Essence is truly difficult to refine…” Ye Jingcheng found himself at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

After speaking with the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, the emperor continued in seclusion, consolidating his breakthrough, while Ye Jingcheng also took advantage of the Ye Family hosting the Array Talisman competition to communicate with beasts, and discovered to his surprise that once the Tier Five True Essence arrived,

it greatly expanded his meridians and was extremely difficult to refine.

Ye Jingcheng took an entire ten days to refine just a sliver.

The disparity in cultivation was too vast, clearly resulting in a much lower refinement efficiency.

Of course, although the efficiency was low, the progress was not insignificant—once refined, he distinctly felt his Earth Phase True Essence grow significantly stronger.

In Ye Jingcheng’s view, if he continued using the Earth Dragon’s True Essence, breaking through to the Middle Stage of Golden Core within ten years was still very possible.

Moreover, his True Essence would become immensely refined.

The only downside was that the other Four Phases might fall behind.

However, since Ye Jingcheng was cultivating the Five Spirits True Manual, which does not heavily emphasize the balance of the Five Elements.

Ye Jingcheng stood up, surprised to find that the family martial contest had already begun.

On the plaza at Celestial Shadow Peak, ten arenas were actively hosting battles.

Each arena was fiercely contested, with both spirit beasts and cultivators intermingling, along with Elders on the sidelines providing feedback at any moment.

What caught Ye Jingcheng by surprise was that, despite Ye Yunxi’s gentle appearance, she was holding her own against a clan member at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

The ceaseless flow of water attribute spiritual energy was coupled with endless secret techniques, and with the support of her Water Spike Turtle Spirit Beast, the clan member at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment found themselves unable to keep up.

Chu Yanqing was also watching nearby, and with one glance, Ye Jingcheng already knew the outcome.

He didn’t continue watching the martial contest.

Instead, he headed toward the Water Attribute Spirit Lake, summoning Ye Xuefan.

Now that Ye Xuefan had reached the Purple Mansion Peak and possessed the Gold Condensing Pill, it was time for him to form a contract with the Two-headed Turtle.

This also allowed him to free up a blood contract slot to capture some Black Crows!
