Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Within the grand hall, Ye Jingcheng carefully picked up the top-grade spirit stone and began to meticulously examine it.

Compared to the incomplete top-grade spirit stone, this stone seemed to contain naturally formed spirit patterns within, making it exceptionally beautiful and vibrant.

Ye Jingcheng cautiously absorbed a trace of the energy, only to feel that the spiritual energy was incredibly pure; even a trace of it could equate to months of arduous cultivation.

Of course, for a cultivator, using a top-grade spirit stone for cultivation is sheer wastefulness.

Only when in seclusion for realm breaking should it be brought out.

”I suspect there is more than one Golden Core Peak cultivator in the Qinghe Sect,” Ye Jingcheng speculated as he spoke, filled with anticipation.

He then handed the spirit stone to Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan for them to examine.

It was Ye Jingcheng’s first time inspecting a top-grade spirit stone, and it was the same for them.

”I believe Qinghe Sect still possesses a spirit medicine for breaking into the Nascent Soul Realm,” Ye Xuecang nodded in agreement.

Without the realm-breaking spirit medicine, Master Xi Wang would have no reason to use a top-grade spirit stone to refine his true essence.

This is obviously the last realm-breaking treasure amid Qinghe Sect’s internal competition.

”Consequently, in the next few decades, Qinghe Sect might produce a Nascent Soul!” Although the chance for a cultivator to break into Nascent Soul is low, with the realm-breaking spirit medicine, those who reach Golden Core Peak are far from ordinary, making the odds of breaking through not negligible.

Therefore, the Ye Family must also consider this point.

With an additional Nascent Soul, Qinghe Sect’s ambitions will inevitably swell, while for the Ye Family, maintaining the status quo is the best course of action.

Moreover, the Ye Family must consider the lifespan issues concerning Tian Dao True Monarch from the Celestial Blade Sect, or else, if fully engaged, unless the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor can successfully advance, raising the odds for Taiyi Sect and the Celestial Blade Sect,

Otherwise, the full exposure for the Ye Family is possible, and confronting the Penglai Sect would be a significant issue then.

While Ye Xuefan and Ye Xuecang examined the spirit stone, Ye Jingcheng also inspected the remaining treasures, though they were not particularly special, being more fancy than functional.

Ye Jingcheng planned to keep the spirit medicine and spirit stones, and for other spirit materials, aside from those he personally could use, he intended to place them into the family treasure vault for Ye Family cultivators to exchange.

Having checked Master Xi Wang’s storage bag, Ye Jingcheng then took out the storage bags belonging to Master Yunmu and Jin Xuanheng.

The tiers of both storage bags were noticeably lower and the space much smaller.

He first looked into Master Yunmu’s storage bag, which held few spirit stones, but contained quite a bit of spirit medicine; there were even over ten seeds contained within red blood jade.

Ye Jingcheng took a red blood jade seed and, upon inspecting it, became extremely delighted.

These seeds are not ordinary treasures but seeds of the Celestial Abyss Blood Vine.

This blood vine belongs to Tier Four Middle-grade Vine, which is favored by wood attribute Golden Core cultivators, being incredibly poisonous and bearing terrifying bloodthirsty effects.

It can completely be considered a powerful weapon for wood cultivators.

If cultivated extensively, even late-stage Golden Core cultivators would have to temporarily avoid its edge.

And the Great Demon Kings with vigorous blood would fear this blood vine even more.

The only downside is that these Celestial Abyss Blood Vines must be nurtured with blood jade in advance.

Once the blood jade transforms into white jade, the blood vine seeds mature.

However, the seeds before him were evidently not yet mature.

”Master Yunmu indeed found some good treasures!” Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but chuckle softly; although there were only eleven seeds, he considered them no less valuable than a Tier Four High-Grade Magical Treasure.

Upon examining the Celestial Abyss Blood Vine, the remaining treasures and spirit medicines seemed rather unremarkable.

It’s not that these True Masters had inadequate resources, but rather that Ye Jingcheng’s standards had risen considerably, finding even thousand-year elixirs somewhat ordinary now.

Even Master Yunmu’s two magical treasures—a Cloud Wood Disc and Purple Wood Sword—Ye Jingcheng merely glanced at before passing them by.

Finally, he looked into Jin Xuanheng’s storage bag.

Jin Xuanheng’s storage bag was about the same size as Master Yunmu’s but had even fewer spirit stones and not much spirit medicine, with the exception of a Tier Four Spirit Tea which caught Ye Jingcheng’s attention.

This spirit tea was stored in a Tier Four Spirit Jade Box, not in great quantity, only about three taels, but each leaf appeared crystal clear and seemed to emit starlight.

”This is actually Tier Four Mingxin Tea!” Ye Jingcheng exclaimed joyfully.

This spirit tea can enhance a cultivator’s perception; it’s an extremely useful auxiliary spirit tea.

In the future, before alchemy or seclusion, one can lightly taste it.

It contrasts sharply with the Ye Family’s Longevity Tea.

In fact, most Mingxin Tea trees are Tier Three, but this tree is Tier Four.

Ye Jingcheng noted that the spirit leaves were fresh and speculated that the Jin Family might have such tea trees, subsequently disregarding caution and took out the Grotto Heaven.

The storage bag was collected by Ye Jingcheng, but the treasures on Tian Mountain were relocated by Peach Wood and Stone Spirit.

Thus, Ye Jingcheng was unaware of the specifics concerning the Purple Mansion cultivators’ storage bags and the Spirit Medicine Garden on Tian Mountain.

The exact spoils were somewhat unclear to him.

Perhaps Chu Yanqing knew more, but at that moment, Ye Jingcheng was entirely focused on slaying Master Xi Wang, disregarding anything else.

Noticing Ye Jingcheng’s demeanor, Ye Xuefan and Ye Xuecang grew increasingly interested, and the two followed into the Grotto Heaven.

They also beheld the vastness of the Grotto Heaven, presently piled with treasures.

Pech Wood’s branches hung full of storage bags, and the Jade Ring Rat and Earthworm had already started transplanting some low-tier spirit medicines.

The two dared not transplant high-tier spirit medicines, fearing damage.

But quite a few of both the low-tier ones have been transplanted, and they would even use ordinary spiritual spring water to water some slightly precious spiritual rain.

Moreover, all the spiritual soil that Jingcheng originally had in excess is used up at this moment.

”Master, all the storage bags on He Tian Mountain are here, not a single one is missing...” Peach Wood spoke as if seeking credit.

”Did you see a Tier Four Spirit Tea Tree?” Ye Jingcheng asked.

”Yes, Master, but this tea tree is not a good tea tree!” Peach Wood seemed disappointed when Ye Jingcheng didn’t praise him but patiently pointed Ye Jingcheng in a direction.

Following the direction, Ye Jingcheng indeed saw the Mingxin Tea Tea Tree.

This tea tree is very small, only the size of a stone table, with few branches and leaves, completely different from the Longevity Tea Tea Tree.

Moreover, this tea tree seems to have been struck by a thunder tribulation, with its upper half gone, leaving only a charred half of the Thunder Wood, and the Mingxin Tea grows from underneath the charred part.

Decay and vitality appear simultaneously under a tea tree, appearing strange and mysterious.

No wonder this Mingxin Tea Tree could reach Tier Four.

At this moment, even Ye Xuefan and Ye Xuecang couldn’t help but express their amazement.

”Master, these are the newly found Purple Jade Vine, Profound Gold Grass, and so on...” Seeing that Ye Jingcheng had finished looking at the tea tree, Peach Wood began to add proudly, reciting over a hundred spiritual herbs’ names.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but be delighted.

His focus, however, was not on the hundred spiritual herbs but on the Tier Four Profound Gold Grass in front of them.

This Profound Gold Grass is indeed one of the main herbs of the Golden Falcon Pill, which can be considered an unexpected joy.

Of course, compared to the Jade Qilin Pill and the Five-Colored Pill, the Golden Falcon Pill is still lacking two main herbs, the path remains long, but at least it counts as progress.

”Second Granduncle, Fourth Granduncle, why don’t we go over these storage bags together, and if there’s anything you need, you can take it, and the rest will be sent to the family treasure vault,” Ye Jingcheng then proposed.

Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan nodded; they indeed didn’t have any urgent matters at present.

Being able to leisurely go through the gains from He Tian Mountain was, after all, a joyful occasion, not to mention their previous patience with the Jin Family.

The only regret is that it can’t be sorted out on He Tian Mountain.

After all, the Ye Family and the Taiyi Sect had agreed that the Ye Family wouldn’t expand into Taichang Commandery, the other side would keep the family secrets and cooperate fully.

Spoiling and revenge were possible, but occupying the Spirit Mountain was certainly not.

”This Peach Wood Demon is really not bad, diligent, and intelligent beyond measure,” they couldn’t help but praise Peach Wood while taking stock.

Peach Wood indeed was diligent and competent, almost like the steward of a grotto heaven, familiar with cleaning the battlefield, able to complete the sweep of He Tian Mountain in just a few dozen breaths.

Ordinary four or five Purple Mansion Cultivators might not manage to do this so neatly.

Even the storage bags were arranged from the Purple Mansion Cultivators’ storage bags, Foundation Establishment Cultivators’ storage bags, to Qi Cultivation Cultivators’ storage bags, and so on.

Making it easier for everyone to inventory.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng only agreed halfway with the two granduncles’ praise on Peach Wood.

This Peach Wood is indeed good, just talks too much!

After finishing inventory, they gained three million more spirit stones, and also gained two more Purple Jade Vines. Including these two Purple Jade Vines, the Ye Family now has more than twenty Purple Jade Vines. Even if calculated in century-long cycles, it becomes extremely significant.

The value of other spiritual herbs is also not low, but compared to the Kong Family, they are a bit less, not because the Jin Family is less wealthy, but because the Ye Family had already plundered once, and the core Great Gold Secret Realm of the Jin Family was completely looted by the Ye Family.

Plus, the Jin Family used a lot of their resources to create the Gold Condensing Pill for Jin Xuanheng.

”Second Granduncle, Fourth Granduncle, these are the Tier Four Soul-Devouring Insects obtained from the Desert Sea, these two are relatively less resistant and hopefully haven’t been claimed by a master before, you two might as well give it a try!” Ye Jingcheng, after checking out the treasures, also brought out two Spirit Beast Bags.

These Spirit Beast Bags contained two Insect Kings, which Ye Jingcheng obtained from the Forbidden Land of Fallen Souls, seized under the command of the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor. At that time, Ye Jingcheng had tamed the Dream-Devouring Worm and lacked sufficient divine soul to tame it.

Having not seen Ye Xuecang for a while, they were set aside, and now that Ye Xuefan had broken through, they were just right for one each.

Of course, whether such mature spiritual insects can be tamed also depends on fate and the temperament of the spiritual insect.

At present, Ye Xuefan’s tamed spirit beasts are the Double-headed Turtle Demon King and a Blue Water Whale Great Demon, while Ye Xuecang’s tamed spirit beast is the Golden Rhinoceros Demon King.

The two of them naturally can also form a blood contract to tame the Soul-Devouring Insect.

”Alright!” Ye Xuefan and Ye Xuecang did not refuse at this moment.

After all, they already knew about Ye Jingcheng’s Dream-Devouring Worm’s peculiarity and understood that Ye Jingcheng currently didn’t have the extra energy to care for more spiritual insects.

For them, if they could tame the Tier Four Soul-Devouring Insect successfully, it would significantly enhance their combat power and divine soul.

Both took the spiritual insects and left the grotto heaven, and Ye Jingcheng followed them out, taking the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect, some Moon Spirit Pearls, and surplus Spirit Fish produced in the Spirit Field, along with unneeded spiritual objects to the family treasure vault.

Currently, the Ye Family has two treasure vaults, one at Lingyun Peak and the other at Celestial Phoenix Oasis, with other large oases counting as branches.

The two treasure vaults’ treasures circulate but also have partial independence.

Items above Tier Three naturally go mainly to Celestial Phoenix Oasis, while items below Tier Three have considerable autonomy; Ye Jingcheng provides extra to Lingyun Peak with the intention of encouraging the cultivators there.

After all, this time’s investigation of the Jin Family and Kong Family was thoroughly done by Lingyun Peak family members.

Upon arriving at the treasure vault, Ye Jingcheng also saw Ye Jingyu.

At this moment, the latter walked over with a face full of joy.

”Jingcheng, have a look at a spirit egg!”

Ye Jingcheng was also highly intrigued. He knew Ye Jingyu had arranged Spirit Beasts to sweep Silver Moon Lake, so he was curious whether there were offspring of the Silver Moon Demon King or pureblood Silver Moon Flood Dragon spirit eggs.
