Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

As the morning sun rises, the purple qi shines on Sha Huang Mountain, forming strands of purple mist.

On the square, many cultivators have begun cultivating early, collecting purple qi, as countless strands of purple spiritual energy converge, creating quite a spectacle.

In the spirit fields, there are also cultivators inspecting the spirit seedlings, continuously casting techniques such as the Cloud-Forming and Rain-Spreading Technique and Water Spirit Skill.

The whole Spirit Mountain is thriving!

Many cultivators gaze at the mountain peak, feeling deeply reassured.

Ye Jingcheng has returned, and they feel the spiritual energy of the entire mountain is more abundant, with all cultivators having clearer goals and more light in their eyes.

When Ye Jingcheng left that year, they truly experienced what it felt like to endure days that felt like years.

Especially for those cultivators from the Original Celestial Sha Sect, at that moment, they even felt as if returning to over fifty years ago, at that time, Elder Qianchen had not arrived, and the entire sect was supported by several Foundation Establishment cultivators...

And now, they know well that the sect is also planning to host a temporary market, a grand feat which hasn’t been held in Xiaoshan Prefecture for centuries.

Along with that, they are filled with pride.

Inside the Assembly Hall atop the mountain, a dozen cultivators have also gathered here.

Leading them are Ye Jingcheng, Ye Haiyan, and Ye Xingliu.

This time, however, the discussion isn’t about the three, but about Ye Jingnan and Ye Jingfu.

”This time the sect has prepared Tier Four spiritual objects including Tier Four Spirit Pills like Purple Yuan Yang Ginseng Pill, Tier Four Cyan Cloud Profound Fruit, and a set of Tier Four Lower-Grade treasure, the Rakshasa Sword; Tier Three treasures include three parts of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, five Tier Three Top-Grade Magical Treasures, twelve Tier Three Ordinary Treasures, and three bottles of Tier Three Top-Grade Spirit Pills...” Ye Jingnan took out a jade talisman, speaking with enthusiasm.

After all, he proposed this temporary market, and for the past year, he’s been thinking about it daily, preparing plenty of spiritual objects for various needs.

He has infused these preparations with the characteristics of the Desert Sea, as well as linking it with Ye Jingcheng’s alchemy skill.

Though this temporary market targets cultivators of Purple Mansion Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation, several Tier Four treasures are still prepared.

Hearing Ye Jingnan’s arrangements, Ye Jingcheng and others nodded in agreement.

These treasures must reflect the Ye Family’s characteristics but shouldn’t be too ostentatious, and in this regard, Ye Jingnan has done well.

After finishing discussing the treasures, Ye Jingnan spoke about the sects invited this time.

”The Nascent Soul powers coming this time include the Profound Puppet Sect; Golden Core influences include Xiaoshan Prefecture’s Feng Family, Zi Fu Sect, Duan Family, Tianshu Mansion’s Profound Origin Sect, Yu Family, Cyan Light Sect; Wangqing Prefecture includes Dangyu Mountain, Jin Su Fu Family; Purple Mansion influences include Xu Family and He Yu Sect...”

Ye Jingnan summarized more than thirty entities, noting that the Ye Family would prepare free stalls for the Golden Core and Nascent Soul powers, but those from Purple Mansion influences would need to spend spirit stones to rent space.

A spiritual shop space, though not costly, requires five hundred spirit stones for half a month; with over twenty spaces, merely the rental income exceeds ten thousand.

Even better locations would require more.

”Is there a guarantee of the number of cultivators attending?” Ye Jingcheng inquired.

With the Ye Family hosting such a major market, if few cultivators came, it might turn into a laughingstock.

”Eleventh Brother, rest assured, the family will arrange six large spiritual ships, dedicated to transporting cultivators to the temporary market, and these spiritual ships have also been allocated to various Golden Core sects, allowing them to escort loose cultivators or small families for a period!” Ye Jingnan spoke again.

”Ye Family just needs to ensure future temporary market locations are closer to these sects.”

”Apart from Xiaoshan Prefecture, Wangqing Prefecture, and Tianshu Mansion, we’ve even sent people to promote in Demon Pass Mansion and Jiayuan Prefecture.”

”Regular market days will be ten, with the last five days featuring a night market,” Ye Jingnan stated.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng nodded.

”Regarding strategy, the family will follow Jing Fu’s proposal, providing the first thousand cultivators with a thousand Cyan Spirit Pills. These thousand spirit pills will be covered by stall rentals; while there might be short-term losses, it’s worth looking at it long-term.”

”Additionally, each cultivator will be supplied with one pot of Tier One Lower spirit wine, Profound Beam Red!” Ye Jingnan spoke again.

The value of Cyan Spirit Pill ranges from fifteen to twenty spirit stones, while Profound Beam Red, a Tier One Lower spirit wine, costs about five spirit stones per pot.

This wine has no other merits besides containing spiritual energy and having a unique desert intensity.

While supplied to everyone, many Foundation Establishment, Purple Mansion, and affluent Qi Cultivators might not prefer it, hence free spirit wine primarily fulfills those budget-conscious cultivators to enhance popularity.

After the detailed explanation, Ye Jingcheng nodded in approval and then assigned defense tasks to Ye Haiyan and Ye Xingliu, placing the Golden Scale Beast and Jade Qilin Flood Dragon with the two respectively; not only to ensure their safety but also to guarantee the smooth operation of the temporary market.

Having done these arrangements, Ye Jingcheng returned to his grotto heaven for seclusion.

There’s about half a year left until the temporary market.

Ye Jingcheng naturally wouldn’t concern himself with every detail, his primary goal being to reach Golden Core Peak as soon as possible and achieve a breakthrough to Nascent Soul.

Due to enough Tier Four spiritual medicine obtained from the Earth Immortal Realm, not only his spirit beast but he himself has also started consuming some spirit pills to accelerate cultivation.

Adding the True Essence of the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, Ye Jingcheng’s cultivation speed is increasingly rapid.

...

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and the ethereal five-colored Spiritual Light gradually emerged on Ye Jingcheng’s body.

In the next moment, Ye Jingcheng rose, and the Spiritual Light all dissipated.

A joyful expression appeared on Ye Jingcheng’s face; although his Cultivation hadn’t broken through to the Golden Core Peak, it had improved considerably.

The Cultivation of a cultivator is like the persistent dripping of water, which eventually wears down stone; progress is a matter of time and effort.

As long as there is progress, it is worth celebrating.

Ye Jingcheng then looked towards the various Spirit Beasts, finally setting his gaze on the Dream-Devouring Worm in the distance.

At this moment, the Dream-Devouring Worm’s Spiritual Light was shining brightly, and its body was gradually expanding.

Clouds began to gather in the sky; this sight filled Ye Jingcheng with immense joy, as it was clear the Dream-Devouring Worm was about to break through.

With the Dream-Devouring Worm, Ye Jingcheng could act freely.

After all, the most feared were inaccurate messages when dealing with the Blood Spear Sect or the Hundred Beasts Sect.

But as long as he had the Dream-Devouring Worm, Ye Jingcheng had no such concerns; even if solutions took multiple attempts, it would be fine.

Moreover, with the Dream-Devouring Worm’s advancement and breakthrough, he was curious as to what improvements its abilities would show.

Unlike before, when the Grotto Heaven was Tier Three and unable to withstand the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation, now it had broken through to Tier Four, so a breakthrough during the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation inside the Grotto Heaven posed no issue, without the need to teleport to the Desert Sea.

The commotion of the Dream-Devouring Worm intensified, and other Spirit Beasts emerged one after another.

Most Spirit Beasts, watching the Dream-Devouring Worm’s breakthrough, felt indifferent, having experienced it themselves.

Only the Turtle Ancestor was disgruntled.

Thinking about how it, the Turtle Ancestor, had toiled for hundreds of years to reach its current Realm, while this small worm before it, having merely gotten a good master, could break through so early.

It was naturally displeased, saying so as it submerged itself into the lake, swallowing several Blood Jade Eels and Black Mushroom Fish to vent its frustration.

Only then did it emerge from the water.

The Thunder Tribulation of the Dream-Devouring Worm quickly fell, and Ye Jingcheng had already set up the Array.

The difficulty of crossing the Tribulation for insect Demon Beasts was greater than that for ordinary Demon Beasts.

After all, their physical bodies were much weaker compared to other Demon Beasts.

Their Divine Techniques and True Essence were considerably less, holding no advantage in crossing the Tribulation, which explained why High Tier Spirit Insects were rare in the Cultivation Realm due to the Thunder Tribulation.

Most Spirit Insects relied on their numbers to make a name for themselves in the Cultivation Realm.

Ye Jingcheng naturally worried about the Dream-Devouring Worm encountering problems.

Watching as the Array’s Spiritual Light transformed into a massive Thunder Tower, Ye Jingcheng let out a long breath!

Crash!

With the fall of the first Thunder Tribulation, the Dream-Devouring Worm spewed out a large amount of Black Fog.

Yet this Black Fog could only weaken the Thunder Tribulation, unable to stop it; fortunately, Ye Jingcheng’s Tier Four Array absorbed most of it, preventing the Dream-Devouring Worm from perishing under the Tribulation.

But after the first Thunder Tribulation, the Dream-Devouring Worm had already sustained injuries.

The worry began to show on Ye Jingcheng’s face.

Then he sensed the Dream-Devouring Worm sending out waves of desire for a Divine Soul.

Ye Jingcheng retrieved some Beast Souls he had collected from previous kills.

The Dream-Devouring Worm voraciously absorbed them, the Mist also falling into its mouth; to Ye Jingcheng’s surprise, the usually slow-absorbing Beast Souls were consumed in a few breaths.

The Dream-Devouring Worm’s entire body appeared to inflate, becoming fuller.

Soon after, a layer seemingly resembling a Soul Shield, formed on its surface.

Its injuries began to bizarrely heal considerably.

With the emergence of the Soul Shield, the damage from the Thunder Tribulation indeed reduced slightly; though still challenging, with the support from the Array and Soul Shield, after enduring four Thunder Tribulations, the Dream-Devouring Worm barely succeeded in crossing the Tribulation, achieving an Upper Grade Demon Pill!

Ye Jingcheng let out a long breath, but dared not delay, hurriedly proceeding to heal the Dream-Devouring Worm.

While healing, he also noticed the Dream-Devouring Worm had changed significantly; the Nightmare Spirit Pattern on its forehead had grown larger, now covering its entire body, its aura more imposing, appearing fierce and malevolent.

Underneath its abdomen, a slit began to appear, like a pupil, seemingly able to open.

In terms of Divine Techniques, the Dream-Devouring Worm could spew out Nightmare Black Fog, condense a Soul Shield, and even cast the Soul-Capturing Eye!
