Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 627: Chapter 485: Jade Qilin Breakthrough, Qingling Cloth Arrangement (New Year’s Double Chapter)

“Activate the Golden Radiance Mountain-Opening Cloud Shield!” Ye Jingcheng hurriedly commanded the Golden Scale Beast.

The Golden Scale Beast quickly responded.

As the moonlight-like blade aura slashed through, the Golden Radiance Mountain-Opening Cloud Shield was cut in half instantly, and the remnants of the Moon Slash fell onto the Spirit Lake, splitting the entire Island Lake.

The entire island rumbled and shook, as if it might sink at any moment.

“Not bad!” Ye Jingcheng nodded and took out two pre-prepared Black Water Pills for the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon.

He then took out a considerable amount of Tier Three Water Spike Turtle meat for the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon to consume, supplementing its diet to stabilize its cultivation.

The Jade Qilin Flood Dragon was quite excited as it ate.

The spirit beast meat of the Water Spike Turtle was full of spiritual energy and vitality.

This made its meal very satisfying.

Ye Jingcheng also fed some spirit beast meat to the Four-Colored Cloud Deer.

However, when he tried to feed the Golden Scale Beast, he found it on the island practicing its breathing technique and magic.

It seemed to have been stimulated and didn’t ask Ye Jingcheng for any elixirs, choosing instead to train directly.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng smiled reassuringly.

Just as he was planning to continue his seclusion for a while, the clan token in his hand lit up.

It was a message from Ye Xuefan, seemingly related to the inheritance of the True Monarch of Five Elements.

Ye Jingcheng’s eyes lit up with joy.

He put away all his belongings and called all his spirit beasts to him.

He had a total of five Tier Three Spirit Beasts, four Tier Two Peak Hidden-Wing Thunder Rhinoceros Insects, and over one hundred and eighty Tier One Thunder Rhinoceros Insects.

This combat power, in Ye Jingcheng’s view, made him confident even against Tier Three Late Stage Great Demons.

The only pity was that there were no formidable great demons nearby anymore.

This had to do with Ye Jingcheng and also with the Earth Dragon Demon King.

After putting away all the spirit beasts, Ye Jingcheng headed towards the territory of the Sea-covering Demon King.

Although he was in a hurry to return, he still needed to visit the underground ruin’s lair.

…

The dim seabed was still scarcely lit.

Only near the ruins could one see some glowing corals and moonlight stones on the seabed.

Ye Jingcheng returned here, performed a spirit technique, and soon the array activated.

“Jingcheng pays respects to the Dragon Ancestor!” Ye Jingcheng brought some spirit wine and many spirit pills.

These spirit pills were Tier Three Earth Attribute Spirit Pills. Whether or not they were useful to the Earth Dragon Demon King, they at least represented his goodwill.

The Earth Dragon Demon King still donned a pristine golden robe.

His stern demeanor was quite intimidating for Ye Jingcheng.

“You’re heading back?” the Earth Dragon Demon King spoke.

He casually opened part of the array beside him, revealing the distant Star Sea Fruits, still appearing somewhat unripe.

However, the entire spirit tree was glowing with starlight and had many spirit leaves.

The more powerful the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Medicine, the longer it took to bear and mature.

Nearly seven years had passed, and the Star Sea Fruit still hadn’t reached maturity, though it had grown larger than before.

“Yes, Dragon Ancestor, I’ve been under your care all these days!” Ye Jingcheng cupped his hands in gratitude.

“Not exactly care, it’s your own strength. Still, you should be cautious lately. I sense there may be unrest among the demon beasts; many more low-tier demon beasts have appeared!” the Earth Dragon Demon King warned.

Ye Jingcheng nodded, repeatedly expressing his thanks.

In the end, he left behind two jars of Jade Wine.

This wine, made from the previously sold Pill Formula of the Ye Family’s Supreme Profound Wine, had excellent flavor and could slightly extend life.

Although the life extension was minimal, anything related to extending life was prized by any cultivator or demon beast.

“If there’s anything you need, feel free to find me. This wine indeed tastes excellent!” the Earth Dragon Demon King remarked after Ye Jingcheng offered gifts twice.

If he still couldn’t see that Ye Jingcheng needed something, then he wouldn’t be the Earth Dragon Demon King.

“Thank you, Dragon Ancestor!” Ye Jingcheng cupped his hands again and joyfully departed.

After leaving the sea island, Ye Jingcheng released the Blue Spirit Shuttle and headed towards the Ye Family’s Purple Wood Island.

The message from the clan token was for about a month later.

Going back would take several days of travel, plus preparation time, leaving him with little time to spare.

…

Luoyun Islands Sea Domain, Cyan Spirit Island.

This is the headquarters of the Cyan Spirit Trading Association.

Chief Steward Qing arrived before a hall, facing a mysterious cultivator wearing a cyan mask.

Chief Steward Qing spread the spirit diagram of the Five-Colored Spirit Palace before him.

He said nothing, his gaze firm.

“Understood, be cautious this time!” After a while, the masked cultivator nodded.

Chief Steward Qing immediately showed a look of joy.

Though he was bound by a Heavenly Dao Oath, preventing him from speaking certain words, it didn’t mean he couldn’t hint.

Displaying the spirit diagram in front without saying a word.

That alone proved many things.

“I’ll temporarily entrust you with this Purple Moon Flame Fox and also give you a Tier Three Spirit Puppet. If anything goes wrong this time, don’t bother returning!” The masked cultivator handed a storage bracelet and a spirit beast bracelet to Chief Steward Qing.

The latter was overjoyed.

“Thank you, Elder Qing Hu!” Saying this, Chief Steward Qing retreated.

After Chief Steward Qing left, a young female cultivator approached the masked cultivator.

“Lord Fox, this Cyan Sky Shadow is very cunning, and he was directly sent from Zhao Kingdom…”

“Rest assured, he’s just a self-important fellow who believes his cultivation is well concealed. Little does he know, he’s long been seen through. The Five-Colored Spirit Palace just needs him to guide the way!” The masked cultivator shook his head, full of disdain.

…

After leaving the Cyan Fox Palace, Chief Steward Qing headed towards a secluded hall.

This was the Dark Hall on Cyan Spirit Island.

Responsible for the records of all cultivators.

Also, it could see the identity behind the Cyan Spirit Order.

“Have you found out the identity?” As soon as Qingkongying entered the hall, he asked.

“Reporting to Chief Steward Qing, the identities all belong to loose cultivators, and they are ordinary Foundation Establishment loose cultivators.”

“Hmph, how could they be loose cultivators? With that aura and poise, ordinary loose cultivators would hardly dare stay!” Qingkongying remarked.

“Use the Cyan Spirit Origin Mirror!” Qingkongying commanded.

“But using the mirror requires Elder Qing Hu’s permission…” The person hesitated again.

“This is Elder Qing Hu’s spirit beast bracelet. Want to unleash the Purple Moon Flame Fox for fun?” Qingkongying shouted angrily.

“No need, no need!” The man was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly.

The Purple Moon Flame Fox was a Tier Three Late Stage Demon Beast, reportedly a descendant of the Demon Emperor and highly favored by Elder Qing Hu.

It was rumored to casually devour people at the Cyan Spirit Trading Association.

The man quickly produced a square, cyan-glowing mirror which had the characters ’Cyan Spirit’ inscribed on it.

As the mirror reflected the two Cyan Spirit Orders, they also reflected a spiritual aura back onto the mirror.

Soon, the mirror emitted a force of attraction, drawing in a torrent of spiritual energy.

Soon enough, images began to appear on the mirror’s surface.

The images depicted the distribution of the orders by the Cyan Spirit Trading Association, the exchanges between several people, to whom they were given, all constantly shifting in the frame.

Of course, the Cyan Spirit Order always remained inside the storage bags.

Most of the images were in darkness.

Finally, the two cultivators were ambushed, and the receiving cultivators were two wearing spirit-blocking robes.

Moreover, they had conveniently removed their hoods, revealing their faces.

If someone from the Ye Family were present, they would see that these two were Ye Xingyu and Ye Haifei from the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain.

The subsequent footage remained in darkness.

When it reappeared, it was once again the day of the trade gathering.

“Do you recognize these two people?” Qingkongying asked.

“They are Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Purple Wood Sect, who joined the sect ten years ago, rarely go out, and have little fame. Before joining the Purple Wood Sect, they had even less reputation.”

“However, this Purple Wood Sect has a Purple Mansion Cultivator at the Middle Stage!”

“Middle Stage of Purple Mansion,” Qingkongying repeated, wearing a thoughtful expression, then took out a bag.

He tossed it towards the cultivator.

After tossing it, he added:

“Don’t mention that I used the Cyan Spirit Origin Mirror to anyone!” After speaking, Qingkongying walked out.
