Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

The Secret Realm was not located in the Celestial Poison Swamp as before, but behind the Xi Wang Valley. This was precisely why the Ye Family Members were worried.

Furthermore, it was considered a Tier Four Secret Realm. If the Qinghe Sect deliberately laid an ambush and the Ye Family’s higher-ups and Demon Kings entered blindly, they could truly suffer substantial losses.

This was what caused Ye Jingyu so much concern.

For the Eight Desolates Sect’s Inheritance Secret Realm to appear at such a time felt too much like a staged show and a trap.

Having set up many traps themselves in the past, the Ye Family was naturally more paranoid about others laying a trap for them.

Despite their awe-inspiring reputation, the Ye Family was actually exceptionally lacking in Golden Core Battle Power.

”We will go; naturally, we have to go. However, this time, there’s no need for us to brave it alone. We’ll simply bring along the True Masters of the Tian Dao Sect and the True Masters of other sects and clans to explore it together,” Ye Jingcheng said.

Naturally, the Ye Family couldn’t afford to deploy a large number of their Demon King-level Spirit Beasts. This was especially true since Ye Jingcheng’s Golden Scale Beast and Red Flame Fox were both in seclusion, and his Jade Qilin Flood Dragon could not enter. If they really went in, they could only rely on Ye Jingcheng’s Vermilion Bird, Golden Falcon Baimei, and Six-Colored Cloud Deer. While their chances of success wouldn’t be small, it would be highly dangerous if the enemy had specifically designed this to lure and kill the Ye Family’s higher-ups and Spirit Beasts.

Without a formidable defensive Spirit Beast leading the vanguard, the chances of a mishap were very high.

By now, the Ye Family had already collected most of the Eight Desolates Sect’s inheritances. There was no need for them to take any massive risks.

On the contrary, having the Tian Dao Sect’s True Masters join them would promote the integration and control of the Tian Dao Sect by the Ye Family.

Additionally, since the Ye Family was a Nascent Soul Clan and Ye Jingcheng was a Nascent Soul Cultivator, any core treasures or High-tier Spiritual Medicines they found would ultimately fall into Ye Jingcheng’s hands anyway.

At the same time, the other factions would still be required to hand over a certain amount of tribute, while copies of any Cultivation Technique inheritances would naturally be distributed among them.

For the Ye Family, although the total haul of treasures might be slightly reduced, the risks would be significantly distributed.

Even if every Golden Core Cultivator from the Qinghe Sect was hiding inside, they wouldn’t be able to easily wipe out the expedition group.

”Alright,” Ye Jingyu nodded.

He naturally supported this strategy. Currently, the Ye Family actually had quite a few Golden Core Cultivators: Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan from the Xue Generation; Ye Haige and Ye Haicheng from the Sea Generation; Ye Jingyu and Ye Jing Hu from the Jing Generation; Ye Yunxi from the Yun Generation; and Chu Yanqing.

However, as of right now, he was truly the only one with the free time to enter the Secret Realm.

Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan were in seclusion. Ye Haige was guarding Cyan and Vermilion Mountain, while Ye Haicheng was guarding the Desert Sea. Ye Jing Hu and Ye Yunxi had both just broken through and hadn’t even had the time to select and adapt to their Magical Treasures.

Even with the addition of Spirit Beasts, they still wouldn’t have much confidence in their chances.

”Brother Si, Brother Jiu, have any geniuses emerged on Lingyun Peak recently? They need to lack the Beast Communication Pattern but possess an extremely strong sense of belonging to the clan,” Ye Jingcheng asked.

With the matter of the Secret Realm settled, it was naturally time to discuss the candidates heading to the Western Domain.

After all, they were going to one of the Immortal Sects this time. Their talent couldn’t be too weak, but at the same time, their loyalty to the clan couldn’t be lacking either. Otherwise, if they just sent people off to the Jinguang Temple without gaining anything in return, it would be better not to send anyone at all.

”Jingcheng, there are excellent candidates in both the Yun Generation and the Teng Generation,” Ye Jingyun said. ”Among the Yun Generation is Yun Chang. Although he possesses Three Spirit Roots, his Earth Attribute Spiritual Root Affinity is exceptionally high. The only pity is that he lacks the Ye Family’s bloodline. The original plan was to wait for him to break through to the Purple Mansion before having him marry a clan member with the Ye Family bloodline to establish his roots here. However, we can arrange for him to marry early before he enters the Western Domain.

”As for the Teng Generation, there are Teng Yuan and Tengxue. They are twins—one has Earth and Wood Dual Spirit Roots, and the other has Gold Soil Dual Spirit Roots. Neither possesses the Ye Family bloodline, but they highly identify with the clan and hold a special admiration for you.

”In the Zhi Generation, there’s a child with a Gold Soil Spirit Root and a Spiritual Root Affinity of fifty percent. However, I wouldn’t recommend sending him to the Western Domain, as his temperament is quite poor.

”That being said, I would like to ask... will these clan members be summoned back in the future?”

Having learned about the situation in the Western Domain, Ye Jingyun recounted the details of suitable clan members on Lingyun Peak as familiarly as if he were listing his own family’s treasures.

Although Ye Jingyu had been leading the affairs of Lingyun Peak in recent years, he spent a considerable amount of time in seclusion. The ones truly handling most of the matters were Ye Jingyun and Ye Xingqun.

Moreover, unlike Ye Jingli, Ye Xingyu, and the others who still harbored ambitions of breaking through to the Golden Core, Ye Jingyun and Ye Xingqun were already thanking the heavens just for reaching the Purple Mansion. They had long since let go of any obsession with the Golden Core.

Now, their minds were entirely focused on developing the clan and their own descendants.

What satisfied Ye Jingyun the most was that both of his children had decent talent. Furthermore, one was highly skilled in Alchemy, while the other showed a slight knack for management.

Because of this, he showed great care for every clan member when handling affairs on Lingyun Peak. This way, he might just be able to earn some good karma for his two sons in the future.

”Then have these three go to the main hall of Lingyun Peak so I can question them,” Ye Jingcheng promised. ”For this trip to the Western Domain, the three of them will have full access to view any Cultivation Techniques the Ye Family has obtained. The clan will also make full arrangements regarding the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid for them. The likelihood of them being summoned back in the future is also quite high.”

If anyone else heard his words, they would definitely call Ye Jingcheng arrogant.

After all, the Jinguang Temple was an Immortal Sect, while the Ye Family was currently nothing more than a Nascent Soul Clan. For a Nascent Soul Clan to recall disciples from an Immortal Sect was a tremendous slap in the face.

But as far as Ye Jingcheng was concerned, the Ye Family had the Earth Immortal Platform, as well as the Cultivation Techniques and inheritances left behind by their ancestors. The probability of them becoming a Divinity Transformation Clan in the future was extremely high.

If things went smoothly, returning to the Refining Void and Unity stages wouldn’t be entirely impossible either.

When that time came, it would be the Jinguang Temple trying to curry favor with them. Asking for a few clan members back would only take a few words.

Once the instructions were given, Ye Jingcheng took out three Spirit Beast Bags and handed them to Ye Jingyu.

Although Ye Jingyu’s two Flood Dragons were formidable, the Blue Jade Flood Dragon had only recently broken through to Tier Four, and the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon was still a step away from Tier Four. Naturally, their strength paled in comparison to his Six-Colored Cloud Deer and Golden Falcon Baimei.

Of course, he didn’t hand over the Vermilion Bird, because he was already planning to refine the Vermilion Disdain Pill to help the Vermilion Bird break through. Furthermore, the Vermilion Bird’s talent was extraordinarily high; it wasn’t suited to be shown off casually.

After exchanging a few more words, Ye Jingcheng returned to his own cave dwelling and began his Alchemy.

His target this time was the Vermilion Disdain Pill. Although he didn’t have the Red Flame Fox with him, he had obtained a Tier Five Pill Furnace and was a genuine Tier Five Alchemist himself. Even in the absence of the Red Flame Fox, refining a Tier Four Advancement Pill wouldn’t pose the slightest problem.

Upon returning to his Grotto Heaven, Ye Jingcheng began the Refinement of the Celestial Profound Light Furnace.

At first glance, this Celestial Profound Light Furnace actually looked somewhat ordinary. However, upon channeling his True Essence into it, the body of the furnace began to emanate a profound cyan light. It resembled a phenomenon of radiant clouds, extraordinarily mystical.

Furthermore, Ye Jingcheng discovered that if he fully activated all the profound light within the furnace, the overall quality of the Pill Furnace could astonishingly reach the Tier Five Middle Grade.

At that level, aside from the massive consumption of True Essence, its other characteristics truly had no difference from a genuine Tier Five Middle Grade Pill Furnace.

”Even the Medicine King Valley probably doesn’t have many Pill Furnaces like this,” Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

At the same time, he felt a sense of gratitude toward the Medicine King Valley for their generosity.

Of course, he knew full well that this was because the Medicine King Valley was expecting the Ye Family to expose more of their hidden trump cards.

In response to that, Ye Jingcheng could only say: let the Medicine King Valley keep expecting all they want.

Although the Ye Family had no more hidden cards left to play, their rapid rate of development was their greatest trump card of all.

As long as the Ye Family was given enough time, let alone Golden Core and Nascent Soul Cultivators, their chances of reaching Divinity Transformation weren’t small either. He just didn’t know whether it would be a pleasant surprise or a terrifying shock for others when that time came.

After all, the Ye Family’s Cultivation Techniques were sufficient for Cultivation all the way up to the Refining Void stage. Compared to the Cultivators of other sects, their foundation was vastly deeper. Combined with the Earth Immortal Platform to acquire resources, the only thing the Ye Family lacked right now was time.

Once the Magical Treasure was fully refined, Ye Jingcheng directly initiated the Yun Furnace process. Instantly, his face was bathed in cyan light, resembling a suspended cyan aurora that scattered across the entire sky.

A look of joy could not help but appear on Ye Jingcheng’s face as he took out the Spirit Materials and began his Alchemy.
