Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Cyan Mist Mountain. The dense cyan mist once again surfaced at the mountain peak, making the reflecting rivers and vegetation appear even more verdant.

Wearing a Daoist robe, Ye Jingcheng sensed the anomaly in the sky and stood up. The array banners around him pulsed in response to his movement, transforming into ripples that swept through the void.

In the air, several figures flew out cautiously. The one landing in the middle was exactly Ye Jingyu and his two companions.

”Fourth Brother, how did it go?” Ye Jingcheng let out a long breath and asked.

”Everything went smoothly,” Ye Jingyu said.

After speaking, he sent a transmission, ”Jingcheng, head to the teleportation array at the Celestial Arrival Market first. It would be best to send a transmission to both Elder Linghong and Elder Qingchen!”

Ye Jingcheng raised an eyebrow, already realizing that they must have gained an unexpected harvest in the secret realm this time.

”We killed Master Golden Armor and obtained True Monarch Chi Xue’s Cyan Blood Mirror ancient treasure...” Ye Jingyu’s few short words made things even clearer to Ye Jingcheng, and he didn’t dare to delay.

He had actually anticipated some extra gains, but he never expected the harvest to be this massive. One must know that after operating for so long, the Ye family only possessed three spirit treasures and two ancient treasures.

However, he soon began pondering True Monarch Chi Xue’s intentions, just as Ye Jingyu had. Would the other party just hand over the Cyan Blood Mirror so defenselessly?

But right now, it wasn’t the time to think about this in detail.

He first retrieved the tier five spiritual ship, then had all the cultivators board it, heading toward the Celestial Arrival Market.

In fact, Ye Jingcheng wasn’t overly fearful of True Monarch Chi Xue at the moment since he had the Holy Spirit Tower. However, the other party was a Nascent Soul cultivator of the Penglai Sect with immense rallying power. Furthermore, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Celestial Corpse Sect were no easy targets either. If they could temporarily avoid their sharp edge, it was naturally better to do so.

The speed of the tier five spiritual ship was extremely fast. Soon, they caught a distant glimpse of the Celestial Arrival Market. The cultivators on the spiritual ship all had different expressions.

Among them, the cultivators from the Xuan family, Xiao family, and others who had never experienced a tier five spiritual ship were filled with astonishment and excitement. Although they all possessed Golden Core and Purple Mansion cultivation, they knew clearly in their hearts that the Golden Core stage would be their absolute limit in this life.

Reaching the Nascent Soul stage was simply too difficult. Having now experienced the speed of a tier five spiritual ship, it would serve as an excellent topic for boasting among friends in the future.

The cultivators from the Tian Dao Sect, however, appeared much more sorrowful. After all, the Tian Dao True Monarch used to be a Nascent Soul cultivator as well, and he too owned a tier five spiritual ship—one that was perhaps even a bit faster than this one. But unfortunately, the Tian Dao True Monarch failed to make it out of the Earth Immortal Realm, and neither did his tier five spiritual ship. Standing on the deck, Master Mo Dao seemed slightly absent-minded.

At this time, the arrays of the Celestial Arrival Market were also fully activated, with streaks of spirit shadows sprawling across the horizon. Within the array, Fairy Linghong’s figure could faintly be seen among them.

Evidently, after receiving Ye Jingcheng’s transmission, Fairy Linghong had hurried over without stopping and was standing guard here.

”Ye Daoist!”

”Thank you, Fairy Linghong. Some unexpected incidents occurred this time. I wonder if we could head to Lingyun Peak first for a chat?” Ye Jingcheng invited directly. The Celestial Arrival Market was naturally not a place for discussion.

Fairy Linghong nodded. Subsequently, Ye Jingcheng waved his hand, dismissing the rest of the True Masters.

Ye Jingcheng, Ye Jingyu, and their companions, along with Fairy Linghong, headed straight back to Lingyun Peak.

After returning to Lingyun Peak, Fairy Linghong was not in a hurry. She looked at Ye Jingyu and Ye Jingcheng, and suggested, ”Ye Daoist, I see that Jingyu Daoist’s true essence has not completely settled. I am in no rush, so you might as well take some time to recover.”

She knew that the Ye family must have discovered something. Furthermore, upon reaching Lingyun Peak, Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu did not immediately speak up. She understood that they still needed to discuss matters amongst themselves. Since that was the case, she naturally wouldn’t interrogate them immediately. Nowadays, the Ye family was considered a major source of assistance for the Medicine King Valley, far more important than the Blood King Valley or the Spirit Talisman Sect.

”Thank you for your understanding, Elder Linghong.” Ye Jingcheng didn’t speak, but Ye Jingyu cupped his hands in gratitude.

Afterward, Ye Jingcheng arranged for Fairy Linghong to stay in the temporary palace prepared by the Ye family. Fairy Linghong had stayed in this temporary palace for a period of time previously, so she was naturally not unfamiliar with it now.

After settling Fairy Linghong in, Ye Jingcheng led Ye Jingyu to Lingyun Lake.

Due to the promotion of the spirit vein, Lingyun Lake had become much more expansive, and the Ye family had also significantly increased their investment in the spirit fish. Whenever the sunlight cast down, dense streaks of red, cyan, and black spirit shadows would float to the surface, looking exceptionally delightful.

The two landed in a pavilion located in the middle of the lake. Ye Jingcheng took out an array and isolated the pavilion.

Ye Jingyu first took out the Cyan Blood Mirror, followed by Master Dayan’s storage bag. Ye Jingcheng didn’t look at the storage bag, but instead focused on the sealing jade box containing the Cyan Blood Mirror.

”It’s said that this mirror has the ability to deduce memories through essence blood...”

”It indeed does. I suspect that True Monarch Chi Xue had exactly this intention this time,” Ye Jingyu replied. He went on to explain in detail how he had experimented using the essence blood of Master Golden Armor and the others.

”You didn’t use our family’s essence blood, right?” Ye Jingcheng asked again.

”No,” Ye Jingyu shook his head.

”I suspect there are still hidden measures left on this Cyan Blood Mirror that I just can’t see through. That’s why I sealed it up; I didn’t dare to test it with my own essence blood!” Ye Jingyu’s expression was solemn.

They were actually curious whether this mirror could pry into the memories within the Ye family’s essence blood. However, they just couldn’t risk trying it.

”Then let’s just send it to the Medicine King Valley,” Ye Jingcheng said decisively. He had opened the jade box and carefully inspected it multiple times with his divine sense, but failed to find any clues. Although ancient treasures were relatively precious, the Ye family couldn’t take such a risk.

The methods of the Penglai Sect were inherently mysterious and unpredictable. The Ye family absolutely couldn’t afford to let their guard down, much less bring the item into the Desert Sea.

Ye Jingyu also nodded. In his eyes, this ancient treasure was an absolute hot potato. Since Ye Jingcheng thought this way, he naturally agreed.

After inspecting the Cyan Blood Mirror, Ye Jingcheng took out a higher-tier sealing spirit box and pasted a higher-tier spirit talisman onto it.

”Let’s use the Jade Celestial Heaven!” Ye Jingyu also took out the Jade Celestial Heaven.

Although it was highly unlikely for this ancient treasure to pry into the scenes within Ye Jingcheng’s grotto heaven, there was no need for the Ye family to harbor such wishful thinking. True Monarch Chi Xue had handed over the ancient treasure yet had neither chased after them to demand it back nor intercepted them. They didn’t believe for a second that the other party had no backup plan. The reason they returned to Lingyun Peak was also to make the other party lower their guard.

”I haven’t had the time to take a close look at the treasures inside this yet, but we should reap some rewards. When Master Dayan fled, he even used the Celestial Gate Talisman of the Talisman Desolate!” Seeing Ye Jingcheng put away the Cyan Blood Mirror, Ye Jingyu pointed at the remaining storage bag and spoke.

The two were far more interested in this storage bag than they were in Master Golden Armor’s. After all, the latter merely contained a greater amount of spirit stones and treasures. But Master Dayan’s hands very likely held the inheritance of the Celestial Desolate. Even though the Eight Desolates of the Eight Desolates Sect weren’t closely knit, their treasures, spirit talismans, and arrays still circulated among one another.

In addition, there had been no prior rumors of the Qinghe Sect possessing any formidable spirit talismans. This meant that the Celestial Gate Talisman was very likely obtained within this secret realm.

Ye Jingcheng didn’t bother checking Master Dayan’s magical treasures, spirit materials, or spirit stones. Those things held absolutely no interest for him. Instead, he looked directly at the jade talismans.

”Jade Yuan Yin Yang Scripture, top-grade profound tier cultivation technique. It can be cultivated up to the early stage of Nascent Soul...”

”The first half of the Celestial Divination Nine-Star Spirit Manual, earth tier middle grade cultivation technique. It can be cultivated up to the late stage of Nascent Soul...”

Having only examined the second jade talisman, beaming smiles simultaneously overflowed onto Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu’s faces.

This was exactly the cultivation technique they were looking for! The Celestial Divination Nine-Star Spirit Manual was the cultivation technique of the great Nascent Soul cultivator from the Celestial Desolate—an existence who had nearly verified their Dao and achieved the Divinity Transformation stage. Naturally, this cultivation technique enjoyed a stellar reputation as well.

The very reason the Ye family risked entering this secret realm was to obtain this kind of core cultivation technique. Although it could only be cultivated up to the late stage of Nascent Soul, it was absolutely sufficient for the vast majority of cultivators in the Ye family. Let alone the Divinity Transformation stage, no one dared to guarantee a breakthrough even to the Nascent Soul stage.

”It’s a pity that the restrictions of this cultivation technique aren’t small. Divining too often will likewise consume lifespan. Moreover, just like the Celestial Talisman Profound Body Spirit Manual, it has requirements regarding the cultivator’s physique.” After looking over it for a while, Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but shake his head.

”It is already enough. If it can determine the rise or fall of our family, never mind lifespan—so what even if we have to die for it?” Ye Jingyu said, his eyes brimming with vibrant spiritual light. Evidently, he was just as thoroughly interested in this cultivation technique.

After finishing going over the Celestial Divination Nine-Star Spirit Manual, the two examined the remaining jade talismans, but there were no further surprises. Although many of the secret techniques and cultivation techniques originated from the Celestial Desolate, they were just like the Qi Observation Skill obtained earlier—not considered exceptionally precious.
