Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 514: Chapter 428: Effects of the Cyan Hong Sword and Spirit Storage (Two-in-One)

“Of course, I did, quite frequently,” Ye Xingqun’s face turned slightly red as he said somewhat stubbornly.

Ye Jingcheng took another sip of tea, then took out a jug of Jade Wave Wine, pouring a cup for Ye Xingqun, temporarily silencing him.

Sipping the wine, Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but think of the East Sea, wondering if Second Ancestor Ye Xuecang had achieved a breakthrough there.

After all, it’s been seven or eight years now.

Breaking through from Foundation Establishment to Purple Mansion took him more than three years; breaking through from Purple Mansion to Golden Core might take even longer.

His eyes held some curiosity about the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain.

Perhaps soon, he needed to go into seclusion for a time to gather more Demon Beast Inner Cores.

After a few more cups, Ye Xingqun bid farewell.

Ye Jingcheng didn’t drink much more, as the upcoming matters, though seemingly unimportant, were actually quite significant.

Watching Ye Xingqun leave, Ye Jingcheng returned to his own courtyard, putting away the Stone Spirit Grotto Heaven, and also storing the Jade Ring Rat inside the Grotto Heaven.

Then he rode a Spiritual Ship, quietly departing again from the Ye Family’s Lingyun Peak.

From Lingyun Peak to Buqing Mountain, an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator would take a day’s effort. Although Ye Jingcheng was a Purple Mansion Cultivator, he didn’t have a Tier Three Treasure Ship, so he released the Profound Shadow Cyan Cloud Ship.

Sitting inside the Spiritual Ship, Ye Jingcheng took out his Magical Artifact, beginning to refine it.

He had two Magical Artifacts, one of which was the Ice Phoenix Bead, obtained from Xu Hanqing.

This Magical Artifact was immensely powerful, capable of freezing a thousand miles and unleashing extreme cold storms, with a Phoenix Demon serving as the Artifact Spirit within.

Yet, this Magical Artifact was of Tier Three High-Grade, and, with his immense True Essence, he could barely refine it, but using it required quite an effort.

The other Magical Artifact was a gift from Xu Xiuqing, a Tier Three Lower-Grade Magical Artifact.

This time, he was refining the Cyan Hong Sword given by Xu Xiuqing.

The Cyan Hong Sword was only palm-sized, looking like a tiny, miniature sword.

But don’t underestimate the Cyan Hong Sword; the spirit materials used in its creation were valued over ten thousand Spirit Stones.

Ye Jingcheng began channeling True Essence, refining the Cyan Hong Sword.

Since the Cyan Hong Sword had been ownerless for a long time, Ye Jingcheng didn’t spend much effort, and half an hour later, a Sword Light appeared before him.

The dense Sword Light was extremely dazzling, and with a slight rotation of techniques, a lot of Sword Qi erupted.

Even though Ye Jingcheng wasn’t adept at any sword techniques, one slash of this sword would be unstoppable for anyone beneath Purple Mansion, and even those above would struggle to contend with it.

Ye Jingcheng finished refining the Cyan Hong Sword and attempted to keep the Magical Artifact within his body.

This feeling was incredibly marvelous, and he even tried using his Purple Mansion to refine it.

After all, the Purple Mansion could refine Magical Artifacts.

Just after observing for a while, Ye Jingcheng realized the effect was not very good.

Ye Jingcheng finally understood why there were distinctions between Lifebound Magical Treasures and ordinary Magical Artifacts.

Refining Lifebound Magical Treasures must align with the cultivation technique to be efficiently refined by the Purple Mansion.

Other Magical Artifacts, even when kept within the Purple Mansion, are hard to truly refine.

There could even be attribute mismatches leading to problems.

Thus, Ye Jingcheng decided he needed to prepare materials to refine Lifebound Magical Treasures.

His Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture held methods to refine four Lifebound Magical Treasures, including the Fire Phase Lifebound Treasure as the Blazing Flame Fan, Earth Phase Lifebound Treasure as the Celestial Sand Seal, Water Phase Lifebound Treasure as the Celestial River Bead, and Wood Element Lifebound Treasure as the Profound Wood Disc.

However, refining them wasn’t easy as the materials for each were incredibly precious.

Not to mention, before breaking through to Purple Mansion, his Spirit Stones were nearly spent, and now there were just over ten thousand left in his Storage Bag.

This was the result of him frequently selling Spirit Pills to the family.

Otherwise, he would be even more strained.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly, but suddenly, he sensed that in his Water Phase Purple Mansion, the Spirit Shadow surged into the Cyan Hong Sword.

This scene startled him greatly.

But soon, he realized that the Spirit Shadow nurtured by the Purple Mansion could surprisingly enter the Cyan Hong Sword.

It seemed capable of enhancing the Magical Artifact’s power like an Artifact Spirit.

This brought immense joy to Ye Jingcheng.

Many of the Ye Family’s ancient texts were not in Lingyun Peak, so Ye Jingcheng didn’t know what the Purple Mansion Spirit Shadow’s situation was.

But now, being able to serve as an Artifact Spirit to amplify the power of his Magical Artifact was naturally excellent.

Ye Jingcheng felt inclined to visit the Taihang Mountain Range to find Ye Haicheng and inquire if there were other functions of the Purple Mansion Spirit Shadow.

Though Ye Haicheng might not know much, his experience and knowledge far surpassed Ye Jingcheng’s.

Ye Jingcheng continued to play with the sword for a while, inadvertently already seeing the outline of Buqing Mountain in the distance.

Buqing Mountain had many Yunfu Tea Trees, and around the mountain were numerous tea trees; mortals here particularly enjoyed drinking tea because the climate here was very suitable.

The Spirit Tea grown here had a more lingering tea flavor than elsewhere.

However, Buqing Mountain had also been ravaged by a Beast Tide, so many tea trees were planted later.

From afar, Ye Jingcheng alighted the Spiritual Ship.

He changed into the Five-Colored Daoist Robe crafted by Chu Yanqing.

Using the Supreme Turtle Concealing Qi Technique, he entered Buqing Mountain.

Here, no one from the Ye Family could detect him, while the Golden Dragon Family Head Order in his hand could open any array in the Ye Family.

Upon entering the array, Ye Jingcheng headed towards the cave dwelling of Ye Xinghan on Buqing Mountain.

Currently, the most important places of the Ye Family were arranged with Foundation Establishment cultivators: Taihang Mountain was overseen by Ye Jingli and Ye Xingqun, Taichang Market by Ye Jingyong and Xu Xiuqing.

Buqing Mountain was managed by Chu Yanqing and Ye Xinghan.

As for Taichang Market, Ye Family member Ye Xingyi was in charge.

Recently, Ye Jingyun was also undergoing a breakthrough.

He possessed the Purple Fire Celestial Ox, and his chances of breaking through to Foundation Establishment were substantial.

Overall, the Ye Family now had quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Moreover, there were still two Foundation Establishment Pills available.

Ye Xinghan’s cave dwelling was located on the south side of Buqing Mountain, while Chu Yanqing’s was on the north side.

It’s not that the Ye Family favored Chu Yanqing more.

Simply, Ye Xinghan needed to research Spirit Plants and Wood Demons, whereas Chu Yanqing was refining Magical Artifacts; the earth fire on the north side was better for her work.

Ye Jingcheng found a courtyard covered by Spirit Plants and smiled, then sent out a Sound Transmission Talisman.

The Spirit Plants here were abundant, mostly Yunfu Tea, although these tea plants were oddly shaped, seemingly subjects of Ye Xinghan’s research.

Apart from this, there were various other Spirit Plants.

In front of the pots of these Spirit Plants was placed some mysterious Spirit Liquid.

Before breaking through to Foundation Establishment, Ye Xinghan was already in a frenzied state of research on Spirit Plants and Wood Demons, and now, post-breakthrough, there hasn’t been any improvement.

“Family Head, you’ve come?” Ye Xinghan couldn’t help but speak, eyes showing joy.

“Sixteenth Uncle, is there something worth celebrating?” Ye Jingcheng asked.

Ye Xinghan was extremely cheerful, displaying a smile Ye Jingcheng had never seen before, even when receiving the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Longevity Fruit.

“I’ve developed a Spirit Liquid that can enhance the growth of Wood Demons!” Ye Xinghan affirmed.

He then directly took out a Jade Bottle and a Jade Talisman.

Inside the Jade Bottle was indeed a Spirit Liquid that promoted Spirit Plant Wood Demons, while the Jade Talisman held the formula for this Spirit Liquid.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng became equally enthusiastic.

Currently, he had no means to enhance the power of the Peach Wood Demon, yet unexpectedly, his Sixteenth Uncle seemed close to a breakthrough.

Previously, Ye Xinghan had researched the Wood Contract, succeeding in it, so Ye Jingcheng had full confidence in him.

“These two Yunfu Tea Trees have reached the second tier!” Ye Xinghan, noticing Ye Jingcheng wasn’t acting, pulled him toward the three treasured Spirit Plants in his courtyard.

Using Divine Sense, Ye Jingcheng scanned them and indeed found two Yunfu Tea Trees glowing with Spiritual Light, their new Spirit Leaves fresh and fragrant.

“Family Head, these two Yunfu Tea Trees only broke through their Cultivation Realm after being watered with this Spirit Liquid,” Ye Xinghan pointed to the tea trees, eyes brimming with delight.
