Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

After three rounds of tea, Ye Jingcheng also sent Feng Daoran off from Black Cloud Mountain, and after thinking for a while, Ye Jingcheng finally gifted him a Tier Three Star Pear Fruit.

He watched as Feng Daoran departed into the distance.

His mind was full of Feng Daoran’s parting words.

According to him, the upcoming Golden Core Conference would likely discuss the prospect of heading to Nanman Province to curb its growing momentum.

Unlike the evil cultivators from Nanman Province coming to Xiaoshan Prefecture, who want everything—mortals for blood sacrifices, Spirit Mountain for plundering, cultivators for soul sacrifices...

The cultivators on the side of Southern Wilderness Province mostly aim to seize some resources.

So this time, Feng Daoran approached Ye Jingcheng for an alliance.

Ye Jingcheng initially wanted to refuse, but upon hearing that Master Zifu and the He Yu Dual Cultivation duo would also be involved, he agreed.

The few people left a good impression on Ye Jingcheng.

If Xiaoshan Prefecture indeed plans to plunder, Ye Jingcheng certainly wouldn’t stay out of it.

He wouldn’t just participate in the trading conference and then retreat into seclusion.

Moreover, his Jade Qilin Flood Dragon advanced to mid-stage Fourth Tier this time, alongside the breakthroughs of the Five-Colored Cloud Deer and the Golden Falcon, his strength has greatly increased, even if the Golden Scale Beast and Red Flame Fox go into seclusion. Overall, his strength has enhanced, and he is confident to face it all.

Yet he vaguely feels as if both forces are simply honing their skills.

”Well, let’s take it one step at a time!” Ye Jingcheng then shook his head, not thinking too much about it, since it’s still uncertain whether they’ll go to Nanman Province.

However, unlike being in Xiaoshan Prefecture where he can go alone, if heading to Nanman Province, he would naturally bring the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor with him.

It would be the most secure way.

After the Three-headed Lion completely vanished, Ye Jingcheng returned to Black Cloud Mountain.

He did not immediately leave.

At this moment, he wanted to understand the current state of his family.

”Qingfeng, tell me about the family’s situation.” Ye Jingcheng said directly.

”Yes, Eleventh Uncle.” Ye Qingfeng nodded repeatedly.

”Eleventh Uncle, currently in the family, another person has reached the Purple Mansion stage, Uncle Xingyu has made a breakthrough, and additionally, Eleventh Aunt has advanced to the late stage of Purple Mansion!”

”In the past three years, ten new Foundation Establishment cultivators have emerged, and during last year’s family Immortal Ascension Conference, there were as many as seven hundred Immortal Seedlings, setting a new historical record...”

Ye Qingfeng spoke one by one, and Ye Jingcheng listened. Upon hearing that Chu Yanqing advanced to the late stage of Purple Mansion, he couldn’t help but smile, being especially satisfied with the family’s development in recent years.

”Also, in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, the family successfully borrowed for breeding once, and now a Thunder Python has Flood Dragon seeds!”

”However, no Spirit Egg has been born yet!” Ye Qingfeng continued.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng felt ecstatic.

The longer the Spirit Egg takes to be born, the greater the potential for its extraordinary talent.

Perhaps the Ye Family will produce another Flood Dragon.

Ye Jingcheng was naturally happy too, as the stronger the family, the greater the chance to assist him.

Moreover, if the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor advances, there will be no source for Flood Dragon blood.

Unlike the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon, which can use the Silver Moon Demon King.

The Earth Dragon Demon King has no source of spirit blood.

The more information the Ye Family gathers in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, the more successful the breeding, the easier it will be to acquire essence blood in the future.

”Eleventh Uncle, both Qingnian and Qingfeng now firmly hold the titles of the top talents. At just fifteen years old, they are already at the eighth and seventh layer of Qi Cultivation. Perhaps Feng’Er might establish her foundation by eighteen!” Ye Qingfeng spoke eagerly at the end.

When he said this, his face was full of envy, as he reached Foundation Establishment at over thirty and nearly forty, and he was considered a talent of the Ye Family, but fell far short compared to the two.

It’s important to know, they haven’t even communicated with beasts yet.

”Quite impressive indeed.” Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but nod.

Of course, he knew that the current Ye Family cannot be compared to the past. The resources during Qi Cultivation and the Spirit Vein are on a completely different scale.

Just like Ye Qingnian and Ye Qingfeng, they’ve never lacked Water Spirit Beads and Spirit Honey Cuisine.

”How about the Central Domain?” Ye Jingcheng asked finally.

”In the Central Domain, both the family and Celestial Sand Sect are developing as usual, Qingwen recently went to East Source Prefecture intending to establish a branch of the Ye Family there.”

”Yun Xi went to Mercury Mansion, where she opened up a Hidden Peak.”

”The best among them would be Jingting. Jingting has established a small Foundation Establishment force called Ye Talisman Sect in Central Mansion, north of Xiaoshan Prefecture. It’s the most prosperous mansion in Southern Wilderness Province. The teleportation array there can connect to most Spirit Provinces in the Central Domain...” Ye Qingfeng explained.

Ye Jingcheng nodded and also took out some Spirit Pills to reward them.

For Ye Qingfeng to deliver.

After understanding everything, he set out to return to Xiaoshan Prefecture.

After all, he still had several Spirit Pill commissions to complete.

Previously, the spirit beast’s Thunder Tribulation was urgent, but now that the urgency has subsided, he naturally needs to fulfill those commissions.

Simultaneously, he plans to pause commissioning for a while, until the Red Flame Fox completes its advancement.

Currently, his Alchemy Skill seems to have declined significantly.

If he continues to take commissions, his profits won’t be as substantial.

...

In a plain room at Duan Family Tavern, Xiaoshan Market.

At this moment, Duan Chuanyun is also extremely angry.

Even the teacup in his hand was unwittingly crushed into powder.

”Father, you need not be so angry. Isn’t it just a marriage alliance? I will accept it!” Duan Qingtan was unwilling to see Duan Chuanyun like this.

But when Duan Chuanyun saw Duan Qingtan like this, he repeatedly cast a glare.

”Qingtan, how can you be so muddle-headed? Do you think by marrying, you can obtain a Gold Condensing Pill?”

”The Duan Family has changed.” Duan Chuanyun spoke.

These words left Duan Qingtan momentarily stunned.

Yet, as they were discussing, the jade pendant at Duan Qingtan’s waist gleamed.

Duan Qingtan glanced at it and immediately broke into a smile.

”Father, Master Qianchen has called us to collect the pill. It is done!” Duan Qingtan was extremely excited at the moment.

The feeling of newfound hope at a desperate juncture was really intoxicating.

”Is it true?” Even Duan Chuanyun at this moment felt a little unsettled.

But after a moment.

”Qingtan, you go to collect the pill; I’ll rent a cave mansion at the market. The rest of the Duan family can’t be relied upon. As I’m at the late stage of Purple Mansion, with the Spirit Pill, I’ll push to the peak of Purple Mansion. In the future, it’s not unlikely to break through to the Golden Core!” As for giving the Gold Condensing Pill to the other Duan family elders.

He was unwilling to think that way.

The person who spoke that day belonged to a certain faction of his.

The other party said it so clearly, obviously showing disregard for Duan Chuanyun.

”Father, this...”

”No ’this’ or ’that,’ there are too many elders in the Duan family, and the restaurant’s rules should be amended. If I succeed, the Duan family continues; if not, with their narrow-mindedness, they would certainly take out the Gold Condensing Fruit Tree to trade, and then destruction is near. So, Qingtan, at that time, either marry Xiao He or marry someone from the Celestial Sand Sect!” Duan Chuanyun’s gaze was profound.

This borrowed-seed method, although good, easily mixes the good with the bad, making the Duan family like a sect.

This is also what Duan Chuanyun is dissatisfied with.

But as it’s the Duan Family’s old scheme, he hasn’t had a chance to overturn it.

Resulting in the current Duan Family having as many as seven or eight branches, three main lines.

”Additionally, if possible, cultivate a good relationship with this Master Qianchen. It might be that he deliberately went out and came back to test our Duan Family!” Duan Chuanyun added.

Duan Qingtan also nodded and quickly left the restaurant, heading towards Celestial Sand Pavilion.

...

Ye Jingcheng was at Celestial Sand Treasure Tower at this moment, handing over the Tier Three Spirit Pills to Xiao Congrong.

For Tier Three Spirit Pill commissions, there’s naturally no need for Ye Jingcheng to deliver them personally.

However, the Gold Condensing Pill was not given to Xiao Congrong.

After all, it involves greater matters.

The value is incomparable.

”Elder Qianchen, here are the treasures delivered with the commissions from these years!” Xiao Congrong, after taking the Spirit Pills, handed over a jade record and a storage bag.

The jade record contained the list of gifts received over the years.

Clearly, he didn’t keep them for himself, even though he desired it immensely, thinking of the horror of Golden Core True Masters, it made him shiver, not daring to keep even a spirit stone.

Ye Jingcheng glanced at the jade record and noticed that there were many Spirit Medicines he needed.

For those who sent such Spirit Medicines, even if he didn’t have the Red Flame Fox, he accepted them directly.

Although without the Red Flame Fox, Ye Jingcheng still had the Five Phase Furnace, refining a Tier Three Top-Grade Spirit Pill was not a problem.

”Keep up the good work, the next commission for Tier Three Spirit Pills, five over five years!” Ye Jingcheng reduced the number of slots again.

As a Tier Four Alchemy Master, it could be said at first he did it for fame, but at this moment, his reputation has already spread through Xiaoshan Prefecture, so naturally, he didn’t need to hustle for commissions.

Keeping the number small elevates the price, more convenient for him.

As for commissions for Tier Four Spirit Pills, he didn’t impose any restrictions.

Of course, even after three or four years, there were still no Golden Core Cultivators requesting him to refine pills.

”Yes, Elder!” Naturally, Xiao Congrong dared not defy. He understood that his current status and the goodwill from Purple Mansion Cultivators were all due to Ye Jingcheng.

So even if Ye Jingcheng asked him to do minor tasks or go to Nanman Province, he would agree without hesitation.

After Ye Jingcheng gave some more instructions, he also met with Duan Qingtan.

The latter carried spirit medicine gifts this time.

Unfortunately, it was one of the spirit materials for the Tier Four Golden Scale Pill, which was of little use to Ye Jingcheng.

But it was enough to show that the Duan Family had sincere intentions.

”Elder Qianchen, thank you for your efforts!” Duan Qingtan bowed towards Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng directly took out a jade bottle, within it was a perfectly round and full Gold Condensing Pill.

And it emitted a faint pill fragrance, not very strong.

But enough to prove that this Gold Condensing Pill’s quality was definitely not low.

”A small thing, if there’s another Gold Condensing Fruit, I will only require two spirit materials to refine!” Ye Jingcheng continued.

He wasn’t just being courteous; after all, the Duan Family possesses a Gold Condensing Fruit Tree.

If he could continuously refine Gold Condensing Pills, with his pill formation rate and pill count, it would definitely be highly profitable.

Most importantly, like this time, he could refine several Gold Condensing Pills to keep.
