Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 393: Chapter 364: Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, Current State of Taihang (2-in-1, Thanks to Fatty Baby Bottle for the 30,000 Coin Reward)

It naturally disliked the Golden Falcon among the only two with wings.

Moreover, when the Golden Falcon was ’Swallowing Clouds and Exhaling Smoke’, it always surpassed it.

After feeding his Lifebound Spirit Beast, Ye Jingcheng also gave the Wood Demon some Wood Spirit Liquid, and the Stone Spirit some Spiritual Ore.

The Ye Family’s research on the Wooden Square and Stone Square is still somewhat lacking, which results in the Wood Demon and Stone Spirit, despite their high talents, still having their cultivation at the Early Stage of Second Tier.

To both of them, Spirit Liquid and Spiritual Ore are just appetizers; they prefer Treasure Light.

Especially the former, with Treasure Light, it makes rooting throughout the Grotto Heaven more meaningful.

It’s even safe to say that the spirit medicines here all depend on the Peach Wood Demon.

Its soul absorption effect is no joke.

After the Wood Demon and Stone Spirit absorbed enough, Ye Jingcheng then turned his gaze to the Thunder Rhinoceros Insects and Golden Falcon, as well as some Five Poison Bees.

These Five Poison Bees to Ye Jingcheng are now just considered as ordinary Spirit Bees.

Even Ye Jingcheng didn’t plant any Poison Flowers, causing the stingers of these Five Poison Bees to start glowing.

And no longer as extremely poisonous as before.

For the current Ye Jingcheng, his Five Poison Bees currently number around five hundred, all left in the family previously, and now some have been converted into Spirit Bees for collecting Spiritual Honey, while the more intelligent and powerful ones are still cultivated with Poison Flowers for future detection and exploration purposes.

After feeding all the spirit insects and spirit beasts, Ye Jingcheng then finally had time to look at the spirit medicines within the Grotto Heaven.

The most important is the Purple Jade Vine, which has grown a few inches again, but thinking about its fruiting time that spans over a hundred years made Ye Jingcheng lose interest in observing it.

He then turned to look at the Vajra Vine.

The Vajra Vine, planted from just seeds and after nearly three years of cultivation, now has grown half a yard of vines.

The golden leaves on the vines shine especially brilliantly, like golden Spirit Coins.

Moreover, small nodes have sprouted beside the vine stems.

This made Ye Jingcheng extremely delighted.

These little nodes are the root nodes where the Vajra Vine blossoms and sets seeds.

Currently, he only has three Cyan Wood Spirit Seeds left in his Spirit Platform, and if the Vajra Vine bears seeds, he will not have to worry about running out of Vajra Vine in the future.

Ye Jingcheng also infused some Treasure Light into the Vajra Vine, making its leaves and vines appear more radiant with spiritual brilliance.

With that, he exhaled a long breath of relief.

He then swiftly flew out from the space of the Grotto Heaven.

This time, he had been in seclusion cultivating for over two years.

Although each hall entrance of the family performed their duties without any major issues.

He still needed to show up as soon as possible for matters such as the current profitability of the family’s restaurant, the direction of the family’s Fire Sincerity Pill, and the situation regarding the family’s Golden Scale Pill and Jade Qilin Pill.

He needed to follow up on them.

Before seclusion, he provided some spirit medicines for the Golden Scale Pill and Jade Qilin Pill, along with some of his deductions and understandings, for family research.

Due to the specificity of the Treasure Book Pill Formula, Ye Jingcheng naturally would not rigidly follow it in its entirety.

Since he had previously tried, even demon beasts of the same attribute could not withstand its medicinal power.

Finally letting the family research some while he researched some, this way, he could promote his Earth Rank Pill and Water Rank Pill as safely as possible throughout the family.

Ye Jingcheng’s small courtyard, untended for so long, inevitably accumulated a layer of dust.

Only on the surface of the Stone Spirit, there was a vortex continuously operating there.

Evidently, the Stone Spirit was continually absorbing external spiritual energy and life matter.

What surprised him was that after the Stone Spirit’s spiritual wisdom increased, the Swallowing Python Spirit Pattern on its surface disappeared.

This was a good thing, as the Swallowing Python Spirit Pattern, if present, could easily be sensed by some sensitive cultivators.

Without that spirit pattern, it might be safer in the wild in the future.

Ye Jingcheng watched for a while, then stopped, using a Dust Cleaning Skill to clean the room thoroughly.

He opened the door, and the Sound Recording Jade Talismans left at the entrance were quite a few.

However, no red Sound Recording Jade Talisman was among them, so a large part of Ye Jingcheng’s original worry eased instantly.

Most cultivators cannot be disturbed during seclusion, so Sound Recording Talismans are extremely necessary.

At the Ye Family, Jade Talismans are categorized into three types: red for extremely urgent matters, gold for generally urgent matters, and pale yellow for ordinary matters.

Almost all the messages he saw were pale yellow.

Ye Jingcheng’s Divine Sense passed through the Spiritual Talismans, examining the information within one by one.

As expected, the Red Flame Python and Purple Fire Celestial Ox successfully advanced, gaining more spirituality, and greatly enhancing their talents, also achieving a breakthrough.

The Red Flame Python reached the Late Stage of First Tier directly, while the Purple Fire Celestial Ox advanced once, though not equivalent to advancing from Mid-stage to Late Stage First Tier, it’s similar to advancing from Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer to Eighth Layer.

This kind of progress was beyond the expectations of all Ye Family Members.

Of course, for Ye Jingli and Ye Jingyun, their main concern was the purer spiritual energy transmitted from the Beast Communication Pattern, which significantly increased their cultivation speed.

As a result, the research on Earth Rank Pill and Water Rank Pill in the Ye Family’s Alchemy Hall is more proactive.

It is now at the final stage, with two similar pill formulas developed, requiring Ye Jingcheng to make the final decision.

Additionally, some good news came during these two years, with Ye Xingyi and Ye Jingyong both breaking through the Foundation Establishment, becoming the Ye Family’s newly promoted Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Among them, Ye Jingyong is a Body Cultivator, and a banquet was held by the Ye Family specifically to celebrate this.

However, no outsiders were invited, only Ye Family members.

Besides that, Ye Jingli also went into seclusion, and it’s almost certain that Ye Jingli’s breakthrough to Foundation Establishment is just a matter of time.

With the Beast Communication Pattern inheriting spirit beasts and supported by Foundation Establishment Pills in the Ye Family, only the Illusion Technique Barrier among the Foundation Establishment Three Gates poses a significant challenge.

However, there’s also distress for the Ye Family.

With the arrival of the Jin Family and Kong Family, many loose cultivators are in Taihang Commandery. Normally, the Ye Family would welcome this wholeheartedly, as it could increase market revenues.

But during such sensitive times, not only has the security in Taihang Commandery become a significant issue, there have also been mysterious disappearances of Ye Family mortals, as loose cultivators often mix with Tribulation Cultivators and Demon Cultivators, which is all too common.

Later, even some Low-Tier Cultivator Race People from the Ye Family disappeared, about three to four of them.

Even in the Taihang Mountain Range, Ye Family’s Demon Hunting Hall members dared not fully commit to capturing the spirit beasts.

After all, if the Beast Communication Pattern is leaked or the effect of spirit beasts hidden by the Ye Family is exposed, it would be a major issue.

On the other hand, the Kong Family is currently suppressing the Xu Family, having opened a Pill Shop in Taihang Market, seemingly having unearthed something unique to Kong Ling, while the Jin Family opened a refining shop with similar moves.

Of course, what Ye Jingcheng found most interesting was that the Xu Family even took the initiative to auction off several shops to the Purple Mansion Clan of Taichang Commandery, allowing them to establish roots in Taihang Market.

It’s clear that the Xu Family, unable to ally with the Ye Family and Chu Family, intended to form an alliance of their own for defense.

Behind these shops, there were traces of the Taiyi Sect everywhere.

Thus, these two years have been trouble-free.

The Chu Family’s initiatives are not very different.

Amid Ye Jingcheng’s brief distraction, a figure appeared from afar, holding a spiritual talisman in his hand.

It was Ye Xingyu, the youngest of the Xing Generation in the Ye Family, with very delicate features, even younger than Ye Jingteng.

By age, Ye Jingteng should belong to the Xing Generation, but since Ye Jingteng’s father was part of the Xing Generation.

He belongs to the Jing Generation.

Ye Xingyu is currently at the ninth layer of Qi Refining, and is one of the few Talisman Masters in the Ye Family.

“Patriarch, you’ve come out of seclusion!” Ye Xingyu was evidently surprised.

He was holding a Sound Recording Talisman, clearly delivering it.

“Patriarch, did you have a breakthrough?” Ye Xingyu spoke again, eyes wide open.

His already delicate face appeared slightly exaggerated, revealing his genuine astonishment.

After all, Ye Jingcheng, being only fifty-one years old and already at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, is rare in the history of the Ye Family.

“Just lucky, that’s all. Is there something happening at the market?” Ye Jingcheng, having just broken through, had unsteady cultivation and easily leaked his aura, which Ye Xingyu noticed right away.

Ye Jingcheng didn’t conceal it but instead inquired, since Ye Xingyu not only managed the Talisman Hall but due to the scarcity of cultivators refining talismans in the Ye Family, worked in cooperation with the Commerce Hall.

“There’s a meeting being reconvened by the Jin Family and Kong Family at Taihang Market to redistribute market interests!”
