Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

The summer Desert Sea is extremely scorching, and it’s hard to find even a few patches of white clouds.

A huge black crow soars swiftly across the sky.

Its speed is unbelievably fast, and on the neck of the black crow stands a figure, clad in a white robe, with long hair tied at the back. His features are sharp like a blade, and he stands upright.

”You haven’t been to the Earth Immortal Realm?” This figure is, of course, Ye Jingcheng rushing from the Black Crow Forbidden Land to Celestial Phoenix Oasis.

The reason he didn’t use the Black Light Ship was that he wanted to see the speed of this black crow.

Previously, when he subdued this Tier Four Late Stage Demon King, it had just laid an egg, was severely weakened, and could not fully reveal its power.

But now, upon observation, he discovered its peak speed surpassed many Tier Four High Grade Spiritual Ships by far.

Regarding its combat power, Ye Jingcheng estimates that it could be effective against Late Stage Golden Core cultivators.

He managed to subdue it all thanks to the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor.

”No!” The Black Crow Demon King shook its head.

”Only the core Demon Race members can enter,” the Black Crow Demon King said, somewhat disappointed.

The Demon Race places much more importance on bloodlines compared to the Human Race.

This is why Ye Jingcheng mostly saw Low-Tier Spirit Beasts or those with weak bloodlines outside the mountains, due to the Demon Race’s perspective on bloodlines.

Ye Jingcheng estimates that even the Celestial Roc Demon Emperor would have a low standing before a true Demon Saint.

”Put in some effort this time; perhaps next time the family’s Soul Injection will be given to you. At that time, you might receive some Spirit Pills and possibly become the next Dragon Ancestor!” Ye Jingcheng said.

Before coming, he had already given some Spirit Pills to the black crow, which made it overjoyed.

As a Tier Four Late Stage Demon King, if nurtured, it has the potential to reach Tier Five.

Thus, Ye Jingcheng’s words were not merely empty talk.

Upon landing before Celestial Phoenix Oasis, Ye Jingcheng retracted the Spirit Beast, released his Divine Sense, and noticed family cultivators flying out continuously, some heading to the Teleportation Array, others to Yuanling Oasis, all busy beyond measure. Even upon seeing him, they only offered a slight nod before returning to their tasks.

The family’s plan was clearly in motion.

”Jingcheng is back.” Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan emerged.

Both looked at Ye Jingcheng with eager anticipation.

After all, the most crucial plan was to be carried out by the three of them.

The three ascended Celestial Shadow Peak and set up the array.

Ye Jingcheng also took out all the Spirit Beast Bags.

”Second Uncle Ancestor, Peach Wood, Malachite, Golden Falcon, Roc Fish, Six-Colored Cloud Deer, White-Browed Cyan Wolf, two Black Crow Demon Kings, plus four Celestial Crow Ancient Tree Demon Kings.” Ye Jingcheng released the spirit beasts one by one, and in the blink of an eye, the surroundings were occupied by numerous spirit beasts.

”Good, with this, even without counting the Three-eyed Demon King and Thunder Roc Demon King, we still have nineteen Golden Core combat powers!” Ye Xuecang remarked.

Apart from Ye Jingcheng’s spirit beasts, he himself also had Golden Rhinoceros Demon King, Tier Four Soul-Devouring Insect Demon King, Mammoth Long Elephant Demon King, including Ye Xuefan’s Soul-devouring Insect Demon King and Double-headed Turtle Demon King, precisely making nineteen Golden Core combat powers.

And this doesn’t even account for the Tier Four Spirit Puppets controlled by the Ye Family, nor the spirit beasts remaining with Ye Jingcheng.

Additionally, they obtained thirty thousand Soul-devouring Insects from Ye Jingchong and Ye Haisheng to set up an Insect Array, led by two Soul-devouring Insect Demon Kings, as a worthy maneuver.

Coupled with the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, not even Taiyi Sect might possess such combat strength.

”Second Uncle Ancestor, better you carry this Blood Soul Pearl Spiritual Treasure, and use the Ancient Treasure Sea Measuring Stele for the Dragon Ancestor!” Ye Jingcheng offered the spiritual treasure.

This treasure surely cannot pass the Righteous Sect.

Penglai Immortal Sect covets it so much; naturally, there are those in the Righteous Sect with covetous intentions.

Human hearts are the hardest to fathom; Ye Jingcheng won’t take the risk.

Perhaps saints exist in this world, but certainly not many.

Once all treasures were entrusted, Ye Jingcheng let out a breath, knowing that even entering the Earth Immortal Realm, as long as they avoid provoking forces with multiple Nascent Souls, the Ye Family chances to find treasures were promising.

”Here is the four Tier Golden Mountain Celestial Shield Talisman the family found, along with three drops of Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk.” Ye Xuecang proceeded to take out a Storage Bag.

In recent years, Ye Xuecang and the others evidently had their harvests.

”Thank you, Second Uncle Ancestor!” Ye Jingcheng looked at the Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk, his face filled with joy.

Such treasures are exceedingly rare; one drop is sufficient to restore the true essence of a Golden Core cultivator, or even restore one or two complete true essences for those in Early or Middle Stage Golden Core.

Ye Jingcheng had previously acquired similar spiritual milk, but only Centennial Spiritual Milk, which at most could restore the true essence of Purple Mansion cultivators.

Ye Jingcheng was fortunate to have multiple potent secret techniques, two Hidden Skill Divine Techniques, and Essence Blood Spirit Secret Technique.

With these three drops of Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk, Ye Jingcheng’s combat strength could increase by at least thirty percent.

While Ye Xuecang handed over the treasures, Ye Xuefan beside him also took out a Storage Bag.

”Jingcheng, inside are five Array Discs, all Tier Four Arrays covering illusion, attack, trap, and defense, some capable of being combined into Compound Arrays.

Ye Xuefan took out a Jade Talisman and began explaining.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng nodded and felt somewhat moved.

Five sets of Array Discs; Ye Xuefan himself probably has few left.

But he wouldn’t refuse.

Originally acting alone, being extra cautious was prudent.

He certainly wouldn’t be arrogant enough to think he has become invincible even at the Golden Core stage.

This time, it is said that the Earth Immortal Realm and other realms have prodigies, with numerous ancient ones among them.

Not to mention, the Great Yu Realm has nine major immortal sects.

These Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators become more eccentric as they age; Ye Jingcheng did not dare to relax his vigilance even slightly.

After agreeing on the meeting time and secret code for the Earth Immortal Realm with Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan, Ye Jingcheng went to the family’s Spirit Medicine Garden. He planted some unused spirit medicines there, such as Nine Curves Spirit Ginseng, Supreme Gold Spiritual Object Golden Sun Ganoderma, Purple Jade Vine, and Star Pear Wood Golden Quenching Essence Fruit.

The Earthworm was also placed in the family’s Spirit Medicine Garden; after completing everything, he returned to his cave mansion.

Chu Yanqing didn’t say anything; she simply as usual made a meal of spiritual cuisine and brewed a pot of spirit tea for Ye Jingcheng.

Of course, today’s cooking was different from usual; despite her skill, she appeared slow and sluggish.

Her gaze seemed evasive, her eyes filled with worry, trying to conceal it but failing to do so.

A family has its advantages, but it also has responsibilities; she understood that some were destined to be burdensome.

Ye Jingcheng also stepped forward and joined in preparing the spiritual cuisine.

A simple spirit fish and a cup of Yunfu Tea eased both of their minds.

”Brother Cheng, I’ll wait for you to come back to pick the Spiritual Almonds,” Chu Yanqing finally spoke, pointing to the spiritual almonds on the treetop.

At this moment, the spiritual almonds were big and round, each glistening, exuding a strong spirit fragrance.

”Hmm!” Ye Jingcheng knew Chu Yanqing was worried; he embraced her warmly.

There were no extra words, only the rhythm between hearts, representing everything.

At dusk, with the setting sun, Ye Jingcheng still left, now wearing a piece of jade, a Tier Four Apricot Soul Jade around his neck.

It was small and exquisite, filled with spiritual light, and carried a faint fragrance similar to the spiritual almonds, still warm from the artifact refining furnace.

Along with the Tier Three Spirit Jade previously given by Chu Yanqing, Ye Jingcheng held it safely.

He knew, even in the Earth Immortal Realm, he had a home that would always guide him.

And this jade was also his peace talisman.

...

Celestial Phoenix Oasis, Talisman Hall Great Hall.

Ye Haiyu still studied the talisman diagram of the Tier Three Spirit Talisman.

Fifteen years ago, he attempted to break through to the Purple Mansion, but it seemed like heaven played a joke on him.

The Gathering Mansion failed.

Bear in mind, with the Five Elements Celestial Mansion Technique combined with the family’s Spirit Beast Communication Beast, Ye Family cultivators had an eighty percent chance of breaking through to the Purple Mansion.

Moreover, the remaining twenty percent were young clan members, having poor mental states.

But he was rare among the elders who failed to break through.

This naturally left him deeply frustrated.

Since then, he had not left the Talisman Hall Great Hall.

Studying spiritual talismans daily, but despite his years of research, he still couldn’t grasp the Tier Three Spirit Talisman.

He concentrated his mind, sensing he could barely focus.

A sense of panic rose within him.

He knew the failure to break through the Purple Mansion had consumed a lot of his lifespan.

Although the Ye Family had Longevity Tea, he certainly wouldn’t waste the chance for other family members to break through just to extend his own life.

”High Ancestor Haiyu!” At this moment, Ye Yunxuan rushed into the great hall wearing a disheveled robe.

”High Ancestor, I’ve succeeded in engraving a talisman, albeit a simplified version from the Celestial Talisman Profound Body Secret Manual!” Ye Yunxuan took out a Tier Two Silver Moon Python, showing his cultivation was at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Indeed, there was a talisman shadow on the Silver Moon Python’s forehead.

”Ordinary cultivators cannot engrave talismans on their flesh, but spirit beasts can, and I guess that simple spiritual talismans can be engraved for body cultivators in the future!”

”Thus, cultivators with slightly poor aptitude can engrave Qi Condensation Talismans, those with lesser True Essence Spiritual Qi can engrave Qi Gathering Talismans, and those with weaker flesh can engrave Stone Armor Talismans!” Ye Yunxuan excitedly said.

Ye Haiyu indeed saw the Silver Moon Python gathering Water Attribute True Essence much faster.

”Yunxuan, you’ve contributed greatly; let’s go meet the family ancestor,” he said, becoming equally excited.

Although this talisman engraving was still simple, with many restrictions.

But if feasible, one could foresee future changes in the Ye Family.

Know that as spirit beasts grow stronger, the cultivation talent for Ye Family cultivators strengthens too.

”High Ancestor Haiyu, the success rate remains low, and I plan to participate in the beast tide action at Celestial Departure Grassland, catching some spirit beasts myself to continue experimenting!”

”Put the trials aside for now, report this matter to the family first, besides, I think you’d be suitable as Talisman Hall Master!” Ye Haiyu said, leading Ye Yunxuan towards the great hall of Ye Xuefan and Ye Haicheng.

”High Ancestor Haiyu, I’m only at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment and just turned forty years old...”

”What do age and cultivation matter, Yunxuan, remember, when it’s your time, you must strive, don’t be overly modest. Family remains family, but the immortal path is ruthless, time is limited; if you wish to ascend the immortal path, even a half-wink is impermissible...” Ye Haiyu said, losing strength in his words.

When in the Sea Generation, wasn’t he too a talisman-making prodigy in the family...
