Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

The Rock Heart Flower had a total of five petals, and on each petal there was a Spirit Pattern like molten lava, golden and dazzling, and quite a sight to behold.

This Rock Heart Flower grew one petal every six hundred years; this also meant that this Rock Heart Flower was a full three thousand years old.

Coupled with the Spirit Vein here, for it to become a Transformation Spirit Medicine was naturally nothing strange.

”Xuanji Daoist, the value of this Flood Dragon Pill already accounts for more than half, so I can only give you one petal of this Rock Heart Flower,” Ye Jingcheng said.

He also used the Jade Saber to separate one petal from it.

He placed it into the Jade Box and handed it to Master Xuan Jing.

”So it should be. This Flood Dragon Pill is indeed of great use to my Profound Origin Pavilion, otherwise I would not have made such an unreasonable request,” Master Xuan Jing nodded.

Although it was only one-fifth, he was already very satisfied.

If it were some other Golden Core, they might have opened their lion’s mouth even wider today.

Next, he pointed toward the mountain peak again.

”Qianchen Daoist, the value of a Flood Dragon’s Flood Dragon Pill starts from one million Spirit Stones upward. I will mine for you enough Profound Earth Crystal worth one million Spirit Stones.”

”Then I’ll trouble Xuanji Daoist!” Ye Jingcheng also couldn’t help but smile.

In his own expectations, in fact, Profound Earth Crystal worth fifty thousand Spirit Stones would already suffice.

But since the other party said one million, he naturally would not refuse.

After all, from this slaying of the Evil Flood Dragon, the Profound Origin Pavilion’s gains were far more than just what lay before their eyes.

At this moment, looking out from the Tier Four Spirit Mountain toward the surroundings, there were still quite a few Spirit Mountains and Spirit Medicines within the entire Secret Realm, and there was even a Tier Four pure Earth Attribute Spirit Vein here.

Its value was simply inestimable.

Because Ye Jingcheng cultivated the Five Spirits True Manual, his Sensing Ability toward Earth Attribute Spiritual Energy was naturally not bad. Standing here, he could even feel the Earth Phase True Essence within his body surging.

”Qianchen Daoist, as for this Spiritual Ore matter, I will have my Sect Disciples collect it. For now, why don’t we go up Profound Origin Mountain and have a taste of my Profound Origin Mountain’s Spirit Tea,” Master Xuan Jing continued, making a gesture of invitation.

”Very well!” Ye Jingcheng nodded. Of course, he was also very clear in his heart that this was Master Xuan Jing worrying that, if he saw too much within the Secret Realm, he might develop other thoughts.

In truth, even if Master Xuan Jing said nothing, he had already planned to leave this Secret Realm.

Given his temperament, he knew he could not bring himself to act in breach of his promises.

Besides, to him, although there were many Treasures in this Secret Realm, there were actually very few that truly moved his heart.

Only Master Xuan Jing came out together with Ye Jingcheng; as for Cyan Yuan True Master, who was adept with Arrays, he was still inside the Secret Realm making some arrangements.

Ye Jingcheng drank some Spirit Tea and, after a brief conversation, took his leave.

After all, he also needed to return to Sha Huang Mountain as soon as possible with the Earth Flood Dragon Blood to refine the Earth Dragon Pill, so that the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor could advance early.

For the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor to transform from a Half-Flood Dragon into a Flood Dragon, even if it did not break through to Mid-stage Fifth Tier, the boost to its Combat Power would definitely be immense.

Only at that time would the Ye Family have some foundation in the Earth Immortal Realm.

If it were only himself possessing Golden Core Peak Combat Power, in Ye Jingcheng’s view, it was still not safe.

In that case, it would be better to give up on this trip to the Earth Immortal Realm and calmly wait for the next opening of the Earth Immortal Realm.

Upon returning to Sha Huang Mountain, Ye Jingcheng again rushed non-stop into the Stone Spirit Grotto Heaven and began to study the Pill Formula.

...

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

Within the Grotto Heaven, atop the Spirit Mountain, the Five Phase Furnace’s Spirit Shadow rippled, and the flames roared high.

Ye Jingcheng’s brows were knitted tightly.

At this moment, the Earth Dragon Pill had reached its most critical juncture.

He had already refined it once; it was just that he had failed at the key moment last time.

Although this time in Alchemy was the most extravagant he had ever been, because the Spirit Medicines collected earlier were enough for him to refine it three times.

But with each failure, the loss was enormous.

These Spirit Medicines and Spirit Materials had not been easy to gather, especially the Earth Flood Dragon Essence Blood. In the future, when the Ye Family’s Dragon Lizards sought Advancement, they would definitely need more; wasting one batch now might mean one fewer Earth Flood Dragon in the future.

The Red Flame Fox’s Fire Control also became all the more cautious.

Another two hours passed, and with the last Spirit Technique cast, the furnace lid flew up and Pill Fragrance surged forth.

Only then did Ye Jingcheng exhale a long breath with a smile.

Although this Earth Dragon Pill did not bear a Pill Pattern, it was not far off.

And at this moment, his preparations for the Earth Immortal Realm could finally be considered truly complete.

”This is your reward!” Ye Jingcheng took out three Profound Flame Pills and handed them all to the Red Flame Fox.

The latter also let out a series of trilling cries, clearly incomparably pleased as well.

After Ye Jingcheng sat in meditation for a while, he left the Grotto Heaven and headed toward the Teleportation Array.

After confirming he was no longer in danger, the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor had once again returned to the Forbidden Land of Fallen Souls to sit in town; this could protect the Desert Sea from the influence of the Celestial Departure Grassland’s Demon Emperors and, at the same time, allow it to Teleport to the Central Domain at critical moments.

Now that the Earth Dragon Pill had been refined, it naturally had to be sent to the Forbidden Land of Fallen Souls.

...

Desert Sea, within the Sands of Death Forbidden Area.

Ye Haisheng and Ye Jingchong were still stationed here.

At this moment, within the black sand, countless Spirit Insects interwove together, forming a Soul-Devouring Insect sea. Sometimes they turned into arrows, sometimes into waves, incomparably nimble.

”Jing Chong!” Just then, Ye Haisheng walked over.

He spoke excitedly:

”Jing Chong, the Spirit Insects you’ve cultivated are too good. The Soul-Devouring Insects have laid eggs again—this time they laid a full twenty thousand. Counting it all up, we now have a hundred thousand Soul-Devouring Insects!”

”Really?” When Ye Jingchong heard this, he was extremely excited as well. The soul-destroying effect of the Soul-Devouring Insects was exceptionally potent; in the future, whenever the Ye Family needed to assault some Grand Array, these Soul-Devouring Insects could absolutely serve as the vanguard.

He also walked toward the Insect Room, and when he saw the Spirit Eggs of the Spirit Insects, Ye Jingchong couldn’t help but laugh.

”Now you can safely break through to Purple Mansion!” Ye Haisheng spoke from the side.

These past years, from initially looking down on Ye Jingchong somewhat, to now—just in terms of Spirit Insects—he felt that Ye Jingchong might very well become the number one Spirit Insect expert of the Ye Family in the future.

Whether in terms of Insect Arrays or Spirit Insect cultivation, his talent was extremely high.

And the latter had already broken through to Foundation Establishment Peak two years ago, and could now begin attempting the Purple Mansion breakthrough.

”The Teleportation Array has activated!” Just at this moment, Ye Haisheng suddenly froze.

The Teleportation Array between the Ye Family’s Desert Sea and the Central Domain now operated once a year, and it had been less than two months since the last time.

It shouldn’t be time yet to transport Spirit Materials.

When he walked to the Teleportation Array, he discovered that the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, in human form, had somehow appeared off to the side.

”Uncle Long.” Ye Haisheng cupped his fists repeatedly.

The next instant, he also saw Ye Jingcheng appear atop the Teleportation Array.

”Dragon Ancestor, it’s done—let’s return to Celestial Phoenix Oasis to make the breakthrough!” Ye Jingcheng said.

At this moment, they could see that the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor’s body was faintly trembling.

He styled himself an Earth Dragon, so naturally he hoped that one day he could truly attain the body of a Flood Dragon. But precisely because of that desire, and so many years of pursuit, he understood even more clearly how difficult it was to become a Flood Dragon.

This gap in bloodline wasn’t something that could be overcome just by diligently Cultivating.

Just like how he had originally thought that once he broke through to Tier Five, he would transform into a true Earth Flood Dragon.

But in reality, he was still an Earth Lizard.

That time, his psychological disappointment was actually very great, only it was drowned out by the joy of breaking through to Nascent Soul.

”Many thanks, Master.” At this moment, the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor lowered his head and cupped his fists, and for the first time addressed him as Master—this time from the depths of his heart.

He also put aside the face he had clung to for so many years.

After all, speaking of seniority, the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor was of the same generation as Ye Jingcheng’s grand-uncles Ye Xuefan and Ye Xuecang.

”Dragon Ancestor, you should still just call me by name. In the Earth Immortal Realm, we’ll still have to rely on your strength.” Ye Jingcheng waved his hand, took out the Spirit Pill, and handed it to the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor.

”Dragon Ancestor, remember it’s safer to make the breakthrough at Celestial Phoenix Oasis—there’s a Tier Five Spiritual Vein there!” Ye Jingcheng was still a bit afraid that the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor would simply take it right here in the Forbidden Land of Fallen Souls.

In his heart, he was hoping the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor could break through to the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul.

Thus, making the breakthrough at Celestial Phoenix Oasis was obviously better, and the success rate much higher.

”Alright!” The Earth Dragon Demon Emperor nodded. He had waited so many years already, so naturally he wouldn’t mind waiting a little longer.

”Congratulations, Uncle Long!”

”Congratulations, Dragon Ancestor!” Ye Haisheng and Ye Jingchong chimed in one after another.

”If I succeed in breaking through, I’ll take you both into the depths of the Celestial Departure Grassland to find Spirit Beasts for you!” The Earth Dragon Demon Emperor let out a hearty laugh.

”We await Uncle Long’s breakthrough!”

”We await Dragon Ancestor’s breakthrough.” The Earth Dragon Demon Emperor’s words naturally made Ye Haisheng and Ye Jingchong even happier.

”And congratulations to you as well, Uncle Haisheng!” On the side, Ye Jingcheng saw that Ye Haisheng’s Cultivation had clearly already broken through to the Middle Stage of Purple Mansion, and offered his congratulations.

”What’s there to congratulate? The family now has over twenty Purple Mansion Cultivators. If I don’t break through, the Qing Generation will soon surpass me!” Ye Haisheng said, somewhat dejected.

He believed his talent was not bad, but now that the Ye Family was developing so well, too many geniuses had appeared.

For Golden Core, there were now Ye Xuecang, Ye Xuefan, Ye Haicheng, and Ye Jingcheng.

As for Purple Mansion, there were twenty-three.

Among them, Chu Yanqing was at Purple Mansion Peak; Ye Jingyu and Ye Haige were at the Late Stage of Purple Mansion; Ye Xuefu, Ye Haifei, and he himself were at the Middle Stage of Purple Mansion.

Naturally, he felt a strong sense of pressure.

”By the way, Jingcheng, the family’s plan is to begin retrieving the Chenjing Jade once the Earth Immortal Realm opens!”

”My Chenjing has already scouted out a route!” Ye Haisheng said, full of expectation.

Although he couldn’t enter the Earth Immortal Realm, this would still be a grand undertaking, and he could earn a large number of Contribution Points.
