Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

At this moment, Ye Xinghan appeared exceptionally old, so old that Ye Jingyu found it hard to look at him.

Ye Xinghan was more than twenty years older than her, almost two hundred and twenty years old, and the lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator was around two hundred and fifty years.

Ye Xinghan had also taken a Longevity Spiritual Peach, but this time he failed to break through, which clearly affected his lifespan.

After all, a normal Foundation Establishment cultivator could live to two hundred and fifty years.

”Uncle Xinghan, we should have applied for the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid. Even if the family didn’t give it to us, we could have gone to Jingyu, to Jingcheng, to...”

”Where would we find so much? There wasn’t any Purple Mansion Jade Liquid in the family before, and still many cultivators achieved breakthroughs. I just followed the normal path of a Purple Mansion cultivator, and if I used the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, depriving a family genius of a portion and causing an accident, that would truly be a crime!” Ye Xinghan calmly replied.

After saying this, he looked out the window again, where there were Black Crows soaring into the sky.

They were so young, so lively, even facing the glaring morning sun, they appeared so bright.

”Back then, my wish was just to have a Wood Demon, to study the Spirit Contract of the Wood Demon. But now, our family already has no less than thirty Wood Demons, and the Spirit Contract of the Wood Demon has already been perfected and even achieved a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment. This was unimaginable before. What more could I ask for?” Ye Xinghan said.

As he spoke, he seemed to recall some of his clan brothers and cousins from the Xing generation.

”Your uncle Xing He, and your second uncle Xing Hui... they never saw...”

”Uncle Xinghan, stop talking nonsense, you’re only two hundred and eighteen, you’re still young!” Ye Jingyu interrupted repeatedly, feeling that Ye Xinghan was beginning to say his last words.

Ye Xinghan was taken aback by the interruption, then looked at Ye Jingyu.

Finally, he paused and took out dozens of Jade Talismans.

Each Jade Talisman was engraved with numerous marks, indicating a significant amount of content inside, clearly accumulated over time, not inscribed in just one or two days.

”Learned the habit of recording Jade Talismans from Jingcheng, and kept it until now.” Ye Xinghan couldn’t help but smile.

Then he spoke:

”This time, I didn’t come out empty-handed. Although I didn’t come up with the thought of stealing life in these Jade Talismans, I tried something. The True Essence of the Wood Demon carries boundless vitality. When breaking through, using the Beast Communication Pattern to temporarily channel the True Essence of the Wood Demon and then integrating it into one’s own blood and energy with a Secret Technique can momentarily compensate for the flaw of a cultivator being too old to break through. The Spiritual Radiance Phenomenon earlier was proof!” Ye Xinghan explained.

Ye Jingyu was also stunned upon hearing this.

Then full of shock, these words seemed simple but, if true, their impact would be immense.

As the Ye Family had many cultivators, resources would never be sufficient, and many cultivators would exceed the optimal age for breakthroughs.

For instance, Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment should be done before sixty, and Foundation Establishment to Purple Mansion should be done before one hundred and ninety.

Beyond these ages, to break through requires taking spirit medicine for supplementing blood and energy or Longevity Elixir.

But both are extremely valuable, and currently, the Ye Family has only two for life extension: Longevity Tea and Longevity Spiritual Peach.

Ye Jingyu and Ye Xinghan had both taken them, and having done so, they knew how rare they were.

Furthermore, Ye Xinghan being so aged likely exhausted a lot of lifespan before seclusion.

Yet being able to provoke such a significant phenomenon that made them mistakenly believe he would succeed shows it was feasible.

”This Secret Technique, in the future, is claimed as your discovery. Exchanging it for a portion of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid should be no problem, Yun Mei is promising. You must teach her well; she could become the first Spirit Plant Master of the Ye Family...”

”Uncle Xinghan...”

”Jingyu, don’t interrupt me now. I know the state of my body clearly. I tried several times before, and it failed too many times, which is the reason for this failed breakthrough. I have all these recorded!” Ye Xinghan continued, his expression becoming especially solemn.

”Additionally, remember the ultimate task of our Spirit Plant Hall is always life extension, research better and higher-quality Wood Demon Spirit Contracts, cultivate better Spirit Feeding Liquid!”

”This is a family’s legacy; I can’t let it end, nor can you, Yun Mei can’t either!” Finished speaking, Ye Xinghan began to cough, with blood accompanying the cough.

”Alright, I’m going to see old friends, you may leave!” Ye Xinghan concluded with a wave.

Ye Jingyu paused, wanting to refuse, but upon meeting Ye Xinghan’s gaze, still nodded and left the room.

As she left the room, she faintly heard a voice.

”With a prosperous family and flourishing clan, blessed to have such around, the world in its greatness—magnificent, magnificent!!”

She paused again, pushed open the door once more, only to find that Ye Xinghan had already passed away through meditation.

Tears welled up uncontrollably; she now deeply regretted interrupting Ye Xinghan, not having fully observed Ye Xinghan’s physical state. Had she not interrupted, she could’ve heard more about Ye Xinghan’s past, more of his teachings.

She could’ve allowed Ye Xinghan to view the young Black Crows outside more.

Moreover, to see the younger generation of the Ye Family!

Besides, she knew that from this moment on, no one would preach to her in that manner anymore...

-----------------

Desert Sea, Celestial Phoenix Oasis—thirty-three years had passed since Ye Jingcheng went into seclusion.

Today marked the family’s Immortal Ascension Conference once more, but it was different from usual.

The Ye Family’s clan competition followed closely after.

Unlike before, the family competition now extended beyond Foundation Establishment, having reached up to Purple Mansion.

This was not only due to the crises the Ye Family faced, but because the family now had fifty-seven Purple Mansion cultivators.

Excluding those not in Desert Sea or in seclusion, there were still twenty-eight.

Even Hall Master or Peak Master like Ye Xingxiao or Ye Qingfu had to participate.

Currently, while there weren’t major conflicts in the Eastern Domain, minor skirmishes were frequent, even the Celestial Arrival Market had been obliterated once by the Qinghe Sect. If it weren’t for timely support from the Taiyi Sect and the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor’s display of mid-stage Tier Five strength, the Tian Dao Sect might have been annihilated.

”Drew Qing Feng!” At this time, Ye Xingxiao helplessly spread her hands.

Though she was at the Middle Stage of Purple Mansion, Ye Qingfeng was at the Peak of Purple Mansion Middle Stage.

She wasn’t a match.

But they were both family’s talented juniors, and it was merely sparring, so she was quite looking forward to it.

”Don’t worry, Aunt Xing Xiao, Feng’Er won’t use spirit beasts or magical treasures!” Ye Qingfeng smiled radiantly, her hair braided playfully and adorably.

Yet Ye Xingxiao also smiled in return.

”Even without those, even if you control your cultivation to Early Stage of Purple Mansion, Aunt might not be your match.”

Ye Qingfeng possessed the Red Phoenix Spirit Body, even employing regular Fire Attribute Secret Techniques were remarkably powerful.

Not to mention, Ye Qingfeng’s cultivation techniques were obtained from the Earth Immortal Realm by the Ye Family, with each Secret Technique being extraordinary.

Beside Ye Qingfeng, Ye Qingnian had drawn Ye Yunxuan, both had just broken through to Middle Stage of Purple Mansion.

Both were high in fighting spirit.

Since one had a Postnatal Spirit Body of the Three Flowers, the other a Profound Talisman Postnatal Spirit Body.

The rest of the Purple Mansion cultivators had drawn their matches.

Just as Ye Haicheng was about to announce the start of the sparring and competition, everyone saw a sudden convergence of Spiritual Light over the Celestial Phoenix Oasis.

Above Celestial Shadow Peak, sometimes red clouds like fire, sometimes blue radiance like waves, sometimes golden light like sun, sometimes green shadows layered thick, sometimes yellow fog formidable as a mountain.

The phenomena of the Five Elements appeared in turn.

Flames evolved into a sparrow’s shadow, blue radiance into a turtle’s form, golden light into a tiger’s aspect, green shadow into a cyan dragon, yellow fog into a qilin shape.

For a moment, all eyes were drawn.

”This is...” Ye Qingnian and Ye Qingfeng were both left stunned.

”This is your father about to breakthrough, quickly inform your mother, and arrange for someone to notify Uncle Xue Cang and Uncle Xue Fan to bring back the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor...” Before the two could speculate, Ye Haicheng joyously spoke up.

These phenomena naturally emanated from Ye Jingcheng’s cave.

This indicated that Ye Jingcheng, after thirty-three years, was finally about to break through to Nascent Soul.

This was a great joyous occasion for the Ye family.

Moreover, with so many phenomena, even he hadn’t seen anything like this during the Earth Dragon’s breakthrough to Tier Five.

Nor had he ever heard of it.
