Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

The Tier Four Late Stage Black Crow Demon King, compared to the Mid-stage and Early Stage, was slightly larger, but it was also apparent that the Black Crow’s aura was unstable at the moment.

It seemed to have been called over by a Tier Four Early Stage Black Crow, looking somewhat anxious.

Its cawing was full of anger.

When it entered the array and saw the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor and Ye Jingcheng.

It immediately realized it had been deceived and looked furiously at the Tier Four Early Stage Black Crow, even attempting to attack it directly.

However, at that moment, the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor rushed forward.

Its gigantic claw directly seized the latter’s throat.

The speed of the Demon Emperor was incredibly fast, even Ye Jingcheng could barely capture its swift movements.

The Black Crow Demon King didn’t react in time either.

Its cawing turned into a whimper.

“I am the Fire King under the Celestial Roc Demon Emperor.” The Black Crow Demon King stubbornly declared its identity.

This time, its voice resonated from its soul.

The Earth Dragon Demon Emperor did not respond, but the mocking look in its eyes spoke volumes.

The reason it hadn’t killed the latter was that a Tier Four Late Stage Demon King could be quite useful to the Ye Family.

It finally looked toward Ye Jingcheng.

“Submit or die!” Ye Jingcheng stated bluntly.

He wasted no words.

When he had contracted one of the Black Crows earlier, he had indeed felt the pressure on his divine soul.

In the coming days, either he would make another breakthrough, or he would only be able to contract one or two more demon beasts.

Therefore, since he could contract now, he would have the Black Crow control the area; if he couldn’t control it, he would simply kill it and control the Celestial Crow Ancient Tree Demon King instead.

He felt the same way about the Celestial Crow Ancient Tree Demon King.

If not obedient, he would kill.

The Black Crow Demon King was filled with resentment.

But its whimpering in the ears of the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor made it seem excessively noisy, and the grip of its claws only tightened.

With the aura of a Demon Emperor present, the latter ultimately croaked once and conceded.

It didn’t even resist.

Ye Jingcheng estimated that since the Black Crow Demon King had just laid eggs, its strength was probably less than thirty percent of its usual.

And with a Demon Emperor present here.

It completely gave up resistance, and Ye Jingcheng quickly conjured a Blood Contract, dripping essence blood and tossing it toward the Tier Four Late Stage Demon King.

In no time, a soul contract was formed.

The Black Crow Demon King was utterly shocked, obviously not expecting the Blood Contract to be so domineering.

“Master, we can cultivate Black Crow Flame Ears!” The Black Crow Demon King clearly understood why Ye Jingcheng had lured them out to take action.

This was clearly for the Black Crow Flame Ears of the Black Crow Forbidden Land.

The Black Crow Race was able to nurture five demon kings and nine Great Demons because of the Black Crow Flame Ears.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have left the mountains and settled here.

“Yes, keeping you is to cultivate the Black Crow Flame Ears, and by joining the Ye Family, you will be grateful for this decision in the future, especially your offspring. If they have high potential, they might even break through to Tier Five or even Tier Six in the future!”

After speaking, Ye Jingcheng felt the soul contract; it was as if a mountain was on his back. He knew that he probably couldn’t contract any more soul contracts.

Ye Jingcheng then looked at the Celestial Crow Ancient Tree Demon King.

“We are willing to submit, and we can also be bound by a Blood Contract!” The entire Black Crow Forbidden Land had four Celestial Crow Ancient Tree Demon Kings.

The one that came this time was the strongest, but it was only a Tier Four Early Stage Demon King.

“I will arrange for someone to bind you with a Blood Contract!” Ye Jingcheng was not particularly interested in these demon kings, as they were all Tier Four Early Stage.

He controlled two Black Crow Demon Kings.

For the somewhat lesser Celestial Crow Ancient Tree Demon King, there was not much need to control them.

As long as they didn’t run away.

Besides, he wasn’t afraid of these Wood Demons turning against him, after all, the strength of the Wood Demons, as Ye Jingcheng felt, was definitely weaker than ordinary Tier Four Early Stage Demon Kings, but of course, their life force was much stronger.

They were also excellent for the clan to use as Communication Beasts for breaking through to the Golden Core!

Ye Jingcheng also had them call in the remaining Great Demons and Celestial Crow Ancient Tree Demon Kings.

In no time, all the demon beasts submitted to Ye Jingcheng.

Of course, only the two Black Crow Demon Kings were bound by Blood Contracts.

The rest were left under the watch of the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor at the Black Crow Forbidden Land for some time.

Even if the Celestial Roc Demon Emperor came, there was no need to worry.

After all, the Celestial Roc Demon Emperor was only at the early stage of Tier Five; though slightly stronger than the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, it wasn’t by much.

If necessary, they could always flee.

“Tell me about the Celestial Roc Demon Emperor!” After Ye Jingcheng’s questioning, the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor began asking.

It didn’t particularly care about a few demon kings, but it did care about the strength of the Celestial Roc Demon Emperor.

After all, in the Demon Race, those pesky Roc Birds were known to enjoy eating Flood Dragons.

While the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor was inquiring, Ye Jingcheng entered the Black Crow Forbidden Land.

The entire perimeter of the forbidden land was covered with some ordinary Black Wood, and in addition, there were over a dozen Wood Demons present, counting the Tier Four Demon Kings, there were over a dozen Celestial Crow Ancient Tree Wood Demons in total.

On the Celestial Crow Ancient Tree, clusters of Black Crow Flame Ears occasionally grew.

Ye Jingcheng harvested about seventy percent of them, leaving the remaining thirty percent for the Black Crows to consume.

After all, they would need to expand the scale of the Black Crow Flame Ears in the future.

At the same time, Ye Jingcheng gathered five bushes of Giant Black Crow Flame Ears; the spirit medicine in them had aged over two thousand years, with one bush even being three thousand years old.

Their entire bodies gleamed with a crimson glow, akin to a cluster of spiritual fire, filling Ye Jingcheng with joy.

After collecting the spirit medicine, Ye Jingcheng turned his gaze to the central nest.

Inside, there was exactly a black spirit egg.

The entire spirit egg was clearly newly born, still carrying some blood light.

However, its aura was already at mid-stage Second Tier and was still rising, which greatly surprised Ye Jingcheng.

Moreover, his Treasure Book lit up directly.

It had a full four layers of Treasure Light.

This indicated that the Black Crow could have four layers of Advancement Pill Formula, and in the end, it actually had the bloodline of the Taiyin Ancient Crow.

The name of the Taiyin Ancient Crow was not inferior to some Simurgh Sparrows.

Ye Jingcheng’s gaze was fervent, although this Black Crow Egg was of no use to him directly.

Still, whether for his clansmen or for Ye Qingfeng, it was extremely valuable.

This spirit egg had been born not long ago, and it would take more than ten years to hatch.

By then, Ye Qingfeng would also be at about Foundation Establishment.

Ye Jingcheng was very confident in his daughter’s talent.

After all, his daughter had a Celestial Spirit Root, and her Spiritual Root Affinity was also very strong, so giving it to her, the rest of the Ye Family couldn’t say anything.

While Ye Jingcheng was carefully observing, the Black Crow Demon King flew back, anxious beyond measure.

After all, it was currently bound by a Soul Contract and could not resist Ye Jingcheng.

It was afraid that Ye Jingcheng wanted to eat the Crow Egg.

“Your child’s talent is indeed very strong. In the future, I will find a suitable Spirit Pill for it. Its future achievements will surely surpass yours!” Ye Jingcheng said.

The Black Crow here were not young. Among those Tier Four Black Crows, Ye Jingcheng hadn’t seen any that lit up with Treasure Light.

But two Tier Three Black Crows had shone, though it was just one layer of Treasure Light.

Their potential was extremely average.

“Thank you, Master!” The Tier Four Demon King was convinced of Ye Jingcheng’s words at the moment.

To make even a Demon Emperor bow down, the Ye Family must have enormous backing, in its view.

It also believed Ye Jingcheng must be the scion of some major power.

Furthermore, it saw no reason for Ye Jingcheng to deceive it.

“Dragon Ancestor, you might need to oversee this place for a while!” Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but say.

Next, he would surely arrange for some of the Ye Family’s Purple Mansion to come over and start researching how to expand the Black Crow Flame Ear population.

Here, there were also some Celestial Crow Ancient Trees without Black Crow Flame Ears; the Ye Family’s future goal was to plant all the Celestial Crow Ancient Trees with Black Crow Flame Ears.

With Fire Attribute Spiritual Medicine rising, the Ye Family’s Fire Attribute Spirit Beasts and Fire Attribute Cultivators would naturally grow stronger, thus improving the level of their Alchemy Masters and Artifact Refiners!

At the same time, he also wanted some Purple Mansion members of the Ye Family to establish Blood Contracts with some Demon Kings or Great Demons.

This way, communication with beasts would be faster, allowing cultivation to progress faster.

As for Ye Jingcheng, he hadn’t contracted the Black Crow Demon King but let it continue to recuperate, since it had just birthed offspring and was greatly depleted of Primordial Qi.

The spirit egg was also left there by Ye Jingcheng.

Currently, Ye Qingfeng had just started Energy Introduction, barely counted as Qi Cultivation First Layer, so it was inappropriate for her to come into contact with the Black Crow Egg too early.

Leaving it here could also absorb Black Flame.

“Don’t worry, Jingcheng, leave this place to me. If the Celestial Roc Demon Emperor comes, I would love to test its strength!” said the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor with a nod.

After its breakthrough, ordinary Demon Kings couldn’t last more than a few moves against it.

It naturally wanted to have a great battle with other Demon Emperors.

If it were still in the Taihang Mountain Range, it might have gone to fight the Nether Fire Demon Emperor.

But for now, it had to look after the Ye Family.

Ye Jingcheng, having checked everything, finally set up an Array in the forbidden land and then flew towards the Celestial Phoenix Oasis.

Not far away, Ye Jingcheng released a Spirit Puppet to drive it.

He himself entered the Grotto Heaven.

Compared to ten years ago, the Grotto Heaven was noticeably more spacious, with the Spirit Peak also becoming taller, nourished by the Spirit Vein.

“Master!” The Peach Wood Demon was the first to greet Ye Jingcheng.

Behind it, the Grotto Heaven Stone Spirit, Malachite Stone Spirit, and Star Pear Wood Demon were present.

All of them calling him Master in unison.

Ye Jingcheng looked at the three of them with a slightly gloomy expression. Although he allowed the Stone Spirit Belt, it seemed these Stone Spirits and Wood Demons were all influenced by the Peach Wood.

The only comfort to Ye Jingcheng was that, in over ten years, due to the Spiritual Scripture, the Peach Wood Demon and the Stone Spirit Grotto Heaven had both broken through to mid-stage Third Tier.

“Master, although there are only five peaches currently, besides life extension, they are certainly excellent for breakthrough spiritual energy. The small demon delivers significant spiritual power to them daily…”

“Mm-hm, very well!” Ye Jingcheng looked over and saw five spiritual peach stalks hanging from the tree.

Their size indeed was much larger compared to the same period before.

The contained spiritual energy was also more abundant, providing significant help even to the cultivation of Purple Mansion Cultivators.

“Keep up the good work!” Ye Jingcheng said, then walked towards the side where the Red Flame Fox quickly descended.

“Eat, let’s see if a Black Flame can be born!” Ye Jingcheng instructed.

“Screech screech!” Facing the giant Tier Four Black Crow Flame Ear, the Red Flame Fox devoured it in a few bites.

Not long after, its entire body glowed.

The changes in the Five-Colored Flames were real, but not significant.

No Six-Colored Flames appeared.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng was somewhat disappointed and didn’t let it consume more, but instead, infused it with more Treasure Light.

“Screech screech!” The Red Flame Fox screeched softly, then spat out flames.

The crimson flame stretched about ten miles or so.

Ye Jingcheng noticed the Red Flame Fox’s original Crimson Spirit Fire seemed to grow more powerful and started to darken.

It appeared to be a fusion of Black Flame and its inherent Red Fire!

Additionally, besides the flame’s power, the Spiritual Fire continued transforming into various Spirit Shadows, including Spirit Foxes, Golden Sunflowers, Cyan Yang Birds, Black Crows…
