Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

It was also giving off a massive blood-red glow, clearly about to advance again.

Next, Ye Jingcheng also gave Advancement Pills in turn to the Roc Fish, White-Browed Cyan Wolf, Stone Spirit Grotto Heaven, and Malachite.

The two beasts and two demons swallowed them, then all fell into seclusion.

Only the remaining Wood Demon Spirit Insects were left staring at one another.

Although the Advancement Pills for Star Pear Wood and the Dream-Devouring Worm, Thunder Rhinoceros Insect and the others had also been refined, none of the three had broken through Tier Three Peak.

It was still far too early for them to take Tier Four Advancement Pills.

The Ye Family did have those whose cultivation was insufficient, who forced down High Tier Advancement Pills and died on the spot.

”Master...” The Spirit Shadow of the Peach Wood also stepped out; at this moment it had already broken through Tier Three Peak.

It had originally wanted to sing his praises for a while, but then noticed Ye Jingcheng was no longer taking out Spirit Liquid.

”Your Spirit Pill is the hardest to refine and the most precious; we’ll have to wait another half year.” Ye Jingcheng said.

Once he said this, Peach Wood’s heart immediately balanced out.

In the Grotto Heaven, it was very clear on its own role: it was to be the master’s second-in-command—outside it could break arrays and grab bags, inside it could tame beasts and stand guard.

It was normal for its Advancement Pill to be a bit harder to refine.

”Master has worked hard; Master, please rest more. I’ll watch over everything in this Grotto Heaven...”

Hearing Peach Wood about to launch into another long-winded flurry of compliments, Ye Jingcheng hurriedly took out a few doses of Wood Spirit Liquid, then infused Peach Wood with quite a lot of Treasure Light, finally quieting it down.

At the end, Ye Jingcheng also walked over to stand before the Jade Ring Rat and the Earthworm, only to discover, to his surprise, that new, different Spirit Patterns were starting to appear on the Jade Ring Rat’s Spirit Ears.

Looking carefully, he found that the Jade Ring Rat’s Breathing Technique had also been perfected by quite a lot.

Its cultivation had unknowingly reached Late Stage of Second Tier; although that was related to the many Spirit Pills Ye Jingcheng had given it, it also indirectly proved that the Jade Ring Rat truly worked hard.

Ye Jingcheng’s Spirit Medicine Garden was no small place now; some of it was collected by the clan, some of it he had robbed from Jiayuan Prefecture and the Jin Family, Kong Family.

But the Jade Ring Rat and Earthworm had been tending it all along, and there had never been the slightest mishap.

”With that hearing of yours, just how far can you hear?” Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help asking.

”Master, I’m not sure either.” The Jade Ring Rat shook its head, its big eyes full of confusion.

It knew it could hear very far and very finely, but exactly to what extent, it truly didn’t know.

”But I can hear the breathing of the Yellow-skinned Monster... and the Golden Scale Beast.” The Jade Ring Rat said.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng finally understood how the Jade Ring Rat had managed to extract the Breathing Technique’s profound mechanisms from the Golden Scale Beast.

After all, even the Earthworm didn’t know it now, and the Golden Falcon, Roc Fish, and White-Browed Cyan Wolf only learned Breathing Techniques at Tier Four.

So it all came from its Jade Ring Ears, and its Breathing Technique’s amplification was focused on the Jade Ring Ears themselves.

In such a feedback loop, its Breathing Technique kept getting more and more perfected.

Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help feeling a bit of anticipation: ”Keep perfecting your Breathing Technique, and I hope you can break through Tier Three within twenty years. I’ll provide you with Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, but the premise is that you must perfect your Breathing Technique again.”

”In addition, you can take out a Jade Talisman to record and deduce it. Every three years I’ll share some Mingxin Tea with you.”

”If you can perfect a Breathing Technique belonging to the Jade Ring Rat race, I can guarantee you’ll become a Mouse Ancestor.” Ye Jingcheng said.

Once he spoke, the Jade Ring Rat’s eyes lit up.

Forget becoming a Mouse Ancestor or breaking through Tier Three—even breaking through Tier Two Peak was, in its eyes, something that would make it extremely happy.

It had no way to refuse the opportunity before it; this was exactly what it yearned for.

But it was a bit worried it would mess things up.

It shook its head; its huge Jade Ring Ears drooped down over its head, making a papapa sound. Then, as if having made up its mind, it nodded hard.

”Master, I’ll do my best.” The Jade Ring Rat said.

After infusing the two beasts with some Treasure Light, Ye Jingcheng left the Grotto Heaven.

To him, if the Jade Ring Rat broke through Tier Three, with its hearing, it might truly be able to play a certain role in the Earth Immortal Realm.

As for cultivation and combat power, Ye Jingcheng didn’t have much expectation of it.

Once he exited the Grotto Heaven and appeared atop Sha Huang Mountain, Ye Jingcheng began activating the Jade Talisman of Long Xunxiang.

...

Three days passed, and Ye Jingcheng once again appeared in Xiaoshan Market.

He and Long Xunxiang had agreed to conduct their trade in Xiaoshan Market.

This time, it was still in the Carefree Realm.

Only, last time Ye Jingcheng had been the guest; this time Ye Jingcheng was already the host.

”Qianchen Daoist’s methods truly reach the heavens.” Long Xunxiang couldn’t help saying with a smile, clearly having noticed that the restaurant renamed ”Celestial Dust” now had Ye Jingcheng as its main decision-maker.

Ye Jingcheng didn’t care about the slightly meaningful smile.

He simply took out a Pill Bottle filled with blood-colored Spirit Pills, gently opened it, and revealed the rich pill fragrance within.

Seeing this, Long Xunxiang’s eyes also flashed with a sharp light.

”Master Qianchen, your alchemy truly is divine.” Long Xunxiang’s way of addressing him unconsciously changed.

Middle Stage Golden Core, refining Tier Four Top-Grade Spirit Pills, and refining them this well.

Of course, he didn’t know that Ye Jingcheng, afraid of refining them too perfectly, hadn’t even used the Spiritual Enhancement Secret Technique.

After Long Xunxiang’s excitement passed, he took out the Heartless Phoenix Wood and the Essence Blood of the Red King Finch.

Ye Jingcheng looked them over, then put both items away.

”Today, Xun Xian Daoist’s expenses will be on me. Daoist friend, please enjoy yourself.” Having obtained the two items, Ye Jingcheng was secretly delighted and spoke up.

”Master Qianchen is straightforward. However, Master, I still have some Spirit Beast Cubs here; I wonder if Daoist friend would be interested.” Long Xunxiang expressed his thanks, then suddenly said.

As he spoke, without waiting for Ye Jingcheng to respond, he drew two Spirit Beast Cubs from his Spirit Beast Bag.

One was a scarlet fledgling bird, the other a Jade-eyed White Tiger.

Both Spirit Beasts were cubs, but their auras were around Early Stage of Second Tier.

They counted as highly talented Spirit Beasts; an ordinary Golden Core Sect would pay a high price to buy them.

”Average.” Ye Jingcheng used the Treasure Book to sense them, and found that the two beasts each only had Third-Layer Advanced Spiritual Light. Although that was already pretty good, for the current Ye Family they were indeed just average.

Of course, under normal circumstances Ye Jingcheng would still act like he really liked them.

But right now, in Ye Jingcheng’s eyes, this could be the channel through which the Ye Family obtained powerful Spirit Beasts in the future.

Long Xunxiang clearly had a powerful background in the Celestial Demon Mountain Range; later he might have even better Spirit Beast Cubs.

”To Master, they truly are average. Master Qianchen, pick one; treat it as extra payment for your alchemy, no Spirit Stones needed.” Long Xunxiang said.

”Then this Jade-eyed White Tiger.” Ye Jingcheng hesitated for a moment but still nodded and put the White Tiger away.

He himself had no use for this White Tiger, but he could give it to Ye Xingliu.

Her very first Spirit Beast had been a White Tiger, only its talent had been truly lacking, and it had died during the Cyan Cloud Sea Beast Tide.

This one’s talent was somewhat higher than that one’s, and it had cultivation value. Most importantly, not a single Spirit Stone needed to be spent.

The two didn’t mention Spirit Beast trading again.

But Ye Jingcheng knew clearly, in the future Long Xunxiang would definitely come to him for trades.

And he also understood why Hundred Beasts Sect of Wangqing Prefecture, despite not being near the Demon Beast Mountain Range, could develop so well—there were probably no shortage of provisions from Long Xunxiang and the forces behind him.

In days to come, the Ye Family and Hundred Beasts Sect would likely be unable to avoid some conflict.

But thinking of this, Ye Jingcheng quickly felt at ease again. Now the Prince Wang of the Royal Mansion was already walking the same path as him. If Hundred Beasts Sect stayed quiet it would be fine; if it caused trouble, he truly wasn’t afraid, and it might even send the Ye Family quite a bit of opportunity.

Leaving the Carefree Realm, Ye Jingcheng went to inspect the Market and the restaurant.

The restaurant’s business was even better than he’d expected. In the future, the Ye Family might really have to expand the scale of Spirit Beast breeding on the Celestial Departure Grassland.

Of course, these Spirit Beast breeding tasks could be handed off to those Affiliated Clans.

He believed they’d be very willing to do it.

Leaving the restaurant, Ye Jingcheng also checked the Pill Pavilion and Array Pavilion. Xiao Congrong was now at Tier Two Peak and had taken on some commission tasks; Tier Four commission tasks had finally appeared, and they were from Lady He.

Ye Jingcheng estimated Lady He was also going to gamble on the Earth Immortal Realm.

After inspecting things, Ye Jingcheng left some Tier Four Spirit Pills and Tier Three Spirit Pills at the Pill Pavilion to be sold.

After all, he’d bought quite a lot of Spirit Medicine; if he didn’t sell a single Spirit Pill, that wouldn’t be normal.

Taking them out now and selling in limited quantities, others wouldn’t be able to overthink it.

In the end, Ye Jingcheng once again drew out the Profound Light Ship and headed for Sha Huang Mountain.

Now everything was ready—it was time to refine Peach Square and raise his own strength.
