Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Yan Kingdom, Lingyun Peak.

A year passed in the blink of an eye, and inside the Grotto Heaven, with the flickering of spatial spiritual aura, two more pieces of spatial jade fell.

Ye Jingcheng let out a long breath and finally smiled.

Although the Ye Family’s supply of Void Nether Jade material was not abundant, he had finally refined six pieces of spatial jade before the materials ran out.

This would at least form three sets of teleportation arrays, which, although there were still gaps in the teleportation arrays, would ensure the Ye Family had teleportation arrays in the Desert Sea.

This naturally counted as a joyous event.

Moreover, as the Grotto Heaven Stone Spirit became more proficient, the success rate of refinement greatly increased. Compared to before, if given the same Void Nether Jade materials, he now confidently believed he could refine ten pieces of spatial jade.

After refining the spatial jade, the nearby Grotto Heaven Stone Spirit was also quite delighted.

It had a great talent for refining spatial jade, and its mentality was somewhat similar to the Red Flame Fox and Peach Wood, with a strong desire to assist its master.

Additionally, every time Ye Jingcheng refined a piece of spatial jade, he gifted it with a defense treasure.

Now it felt it was not far from breaking through to the Late Stage of Fourth Tier.

It’s known that the Golden-eyed Vermilion Bird and Peach Wood had no signs of reaching the Late Stage of Fourth Tier yet.

It had already taken the lead among the Wood Demon Stone Spirits.

”Keep going!” Ye Jingcheng, according to habit, took out a treasure and handed it to the Stone Spirit.

Though his stock of Tier Four Defense Treasures was dwindling, the Grotto Heaven was exceptionally important to Ye Jingcheng. He anticipated that when the Stone Spirit Grotto Heaven broke through Tier Four Peak, and he could use the Tier Five Advancement Pill to make the Stone Spirit break through to Demon Emperor status, the area within the Grotto Heaven would expand greatly.

Furthermore, at that time, the Grotto Heaven’s mastery of space would undoubtedly advance, allowing it to conceal against the Divine Sense of Late-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivators, making his future actions much safer.

Especially regarding the upcoming journey to the Earth Immortal Realm, Ye Jingcheng was determined to obtain the Divinity Transformation Elixir and enter the Heaven-Repairing Garden.

At that time, the opposition would be not just one or two Nascent Souls.

It might be ten or even dozens besieging him, and defense methods would already be secondary; the most crucial element would be concealment techniques.

Before the Earth Immortal Realm ends, the protection of Tier Six Divinity Transformation Treasure Medicine was essential.

Ye Jingcheng did not expect other Immortal Sects or Immortal Families to help guard the Ye Family.

He could only rely on himself and his spirit beasts.

However, after refining the spatial jade, Ye Jingcheng did not immediately enter seclusion nor start concocting spirit pills.

It’s not because his alchemy skill significantly declined without the Red Flame Fox.

Just a few days ago, the Ye Family notified him that Medicine King Valley was holding a Tier Five auction, with the highlight being the Tier Five Treasure Pill Furnace, Celestial Profound Light Furnace.

This furnace was refined by True Monarch Bailian and was considered excellent among Tier Five Pill Furnaces.

Ye Jingcheng certainly wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

Moreover, he felt that this time, it was deliberately arranged by Medicine King Valley.

Ye Jingcheng’s identity as an Alchemy Master was no secret; however, since Ye Jingcheng had already received rewards from Medicine King Valley before, they couldn’t gift treasures to the Ye Family again without upsetting other powers.

But by holding an auction, it achieved the same effect, and powers like Blood King Valley and Spirit Talisman Sect wouldn’t feel imbalanced, since they could also compete at the auction if they wanted to buy it.

It’s just that even if they had Alchemy Masters, they wouldn’t compete with Ye Jingcheng, especially since Ye Jingcheng understood that True Monarch Simurgh excelled in spirit talismans and True Monarch Xueyun in arrays, neither specializing in alchemy.

Of course, even if no one competes with him, Ya Jingcheng must offer a high price. Medicine King Valley showed goodwill, and he must reciprocate accordingly; having spent many years in the Cultivation Realm, he’s far from the naive youth he once was.

Moreover, Ye Jingcheng actually hoped Medicine King Valley had Advancing Spirit Medicine to exchange.

It’s apparent that both the Earth Dragon Pill and Jade Qilin Flood Dragon’s Tier Five Advancement Pill now lacked only two main ingredients and one, respectively.

If he could advance them further, the Ye Family’s strength would receive a significant boost within fifty years.

By that time, he would clearly be more prepared to counter the Eastern Domain crisis.

Before leaving the Grotto Heaven, Ye Jingcheng specifically checked on the Golden Scale Beast. Observing its cultivation strengthened significantly, and its Golden Light Secret Technique and Earth Qilin Hall Secret Technique grew more potent, he nodded and took out the Nascent Soul Pill, handing it to the latter.

This Nascent Soul Pill was obtained from Celestial Water Sect, at that time when the opponent was breaking through into Nascent Soul with a Golden Core, Ye Jingcheng arrived just in time.

Otherwise, if the opponent completely refined it, the Nascent Soul Pill’s effects would dissipate entirely into medicinal energy, leaving nothing.

”In the future, if the supply of spirit medicine improves, perhaps the Two-headed Turtle can establish a Beast Fighting Tower!” Ye Jingcheng mumbled.

Regarding demon beasts, Ye Jingcheng realized these spirit beasts, the more they took hits and got injured, the faster their breakthroughs occurred.

Why did his spirit beasts advance faster and wield greater power than other clansmen’s spirit beasts? Besides advancing early and having strong bloodlines, the continuous practice and combat experience played a role.

Injury, recovery, and then injury again is inherently a process of continuous advancement.

In fact, considering Ye Jingcheng’s spirit beast talents, the Six-Colored Cloud Deer should actually surpass the Golden Scale Beast substantially.

But currently, the Golden Scale Beast is much stronger than the Six-Colored Cloud Deer.

It’s simply because the Six-Colored Cloud Deer receives fewer dueling and injuries.

Of course, the demon beast battles yield great benefits, but it’s also easy to get injured and can even lead to the demon beast’s demise.

Currently, the Ye family’s means of healing demon beasts are his Treasure Light, along with the Celestial Wood Divine Light of the Six-Colored Cloud Deer and the Two-headed Turtle.

Ye Jingcheng pondered for a moment before leaving the Grotto Heaven.

Ye Jingyu was still busy handling the affairs of the Tian Dao Sect. Although the Ye family had taken over the Tian Dao Sect, managing personnel arrangements, utilizing resource sites, and opening up the mini-world required efforts from the Ye family. The complexity is such that, if it were an ordinary person, they wouldn’t truly be able to make all the Golden Core cultivators of the Tian Dao Sect genuinely submit.

But for now, his fourth brother is handling everything excellently, so naturally, he feels more at ease.

Ye Jingcheng did not disturb him. After having a few transmissions with the rest of the family to understand the current situation, he stepped on the teleportation array and arrived at Medicine King Mountain in the Divine Medicine Valley.

Actually, this was Ye Jingcheng’s first time in Divine Medicine Valley. During the last Nascent Soul lecture at Medicine King Valley, Ye Jingcheng was still in seclusion, breaking through to Nascent Soul, and missed the opportunity, only able to see the insights Yu Jian brought back by Ye Xuecang.

At this moment, looking at the spirit medicine gardens around Medicine King Valley, the spiritual radiance in the sky, and the endless mountain summits.

Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but feel a sense of emotion, accompanied by envy and respect.

The heritage of Medicine King Valley is absolutely top-tier amongst Nascent Soul powers. Judging by the spirit vein, Ye Jingcheng estimates it’s approaching Tier Six.

He even suspects that True Monarch Bai Yao broke through to Divinity Transformation right here.

Meanwhile, he believed that the Ye family’s spirit medicine garden, with its method of nurturing through arrays, was already quite accomplished, but it still pales in comparison to Medicine King Valley’s.

Their nurturing arrays are larger, and they have specialized spirit plant masters, with no shortage of Tier Four spirit plant masters among them.

The highest-ranked spirit plant master in the Ye family is merely a Tier Three spirit plant master, and even then, a half-baked one.

Although spirit plant masters in the Cultivation Realm rank lower compared to alchemy masters and artifact refiners.

In reality, the stronger a sect’s power, the more they desire high-tier spirit plant masters.

After all, high-tier spirit plant masters can often use arrays to expedite the ripening of spirit medicines and even cultivate some to breed spirit medicines.

The effect isn’t very significant, though.

Moreover, he has also heard that Medicine King Valley’s Tier Five Spirit Medicine Garden is the largest in the Eastern Domain apart from the Penglai Sect’s.

In comparison, the Ye family’s only advantage is that they possess a Blood Spring capable of advancing.

The acceleration of ripening is more effective than any array.

”Elder Ye, the elders of the sect have already instructed that an estate has been prepared for you in advance this time!” The guardian of the teleportation array was a Middle Stage Golden Core cultivator.

That Golden Core cultivator, named Quan Qing, was also an alchemy master.

Upon seeing Ye Jingcheng, he repeatedly cupped his hands in respect, his eyes filled with genuine admiration.

He was well aware that the Elder Ye before him might have recently achieved a breakthrough, but he had already destroyed two Nascent Soul combat powers from the Celestial Water Sect, killed True Monarch Qingxi from the Qinghe Sect, forced True Monarch Qinghe to flee afar, and even seized the Corpse Emperor of the Celestial Water Sect, causing an East Sea beast tide.

Ordinary Middle Stage Nascent Soul might find it challenging to accomplish even one of these tasks, but now they are all attributed to Ye Jingcheng, naturally earning his reverence.

Soon, he led Ye Jingcheng to a palace-like estate.

In front of the palace was a cluster of palaces, and considering the circumstances, this estate was situated in the leading position of the palace cluster.

”Elder Ye, the auction will begin in three days, but it is expected that the day after tomorrow at noon, there will be a Nascent Soul Trading Conference!” Master Quan Qing spoke respectfully.

He simultaneously handed over a jade token to Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng put away the jade token, then escorted him out of the palace.

Before returning to the palace, Ye Jingcheng began to assess his estate.

The palace had dragon carvings and phoenix adornments, constructed with grandeur, clearly symbolic of fortune within the palatial surroundings.

Just when Ye Jingcheng thought he would have to wait a day and a half, someone visited.

The first visitor was True Monarch Qingchen.

Since the latter had spent some time at Lingyun Peak, Ye Jingcheng was grateful and thus brought out Tier Four Mingxin Tea to share.

Due to the elevation of the Ye family’s spirit vein, the Mingxin Tea Tea Tree’s spiritual energy was more ample.

Accompanied by the fragrant spirit tea, the two felt pleased and content as they drank.

”Ye Daoist, there will be quite a few Nascent Souls from the Western Domain attending this Nascent Soul Conference. Do you have any treasures prepared?” True Monarch Qingchen remarked after they had mostly finished drinking the tea.

These words brought a joyous surprise to Ye Jingcheng.

He didn’t expect an additional delight under the Tier Five auction, and he nodded repeatedly!

After all, with the current conflict between Medicine King Valley and Penglai, in his original estimation, there would only be a handful of Nascent Souls participating, including some from Medicine King Valley.

Now with the added presence of numerous Nascent Souls from Jinguang Temple, he was pleased, as this indicated he had a better chance of acquiring the treasures and spirit medicines he desired.

This was particularly important for the Ye family.

Since he couldn’t reveal his Nascent Soul cultivation in the Central Domain, he naturally couldn’t participate in the Nascent Soul auctions and exchanges.
