Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Qi Refining Layer 5

Ye Jingyong spoke with particular excitement, while Ye Jingyu only smiled faintly, creating two distinctly different scenes on the spot.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng felt a bit dizzy. He hadn’t expected that not only did he not need to worry, but the family seemed to value him even more.

This somewhat confirmed his suspicions.

He estimated that if the Red Flame Fox performed better in the future, he might know more secrets about the Ye Family!

Thinking about this made him even more curious.

In the end, he constantly refilled Ye Jingyu and Ye Jingyong’s tea.

It seemed that Ye Jingyu noticed Ye Jingcheng’s confusion.

Ye Jingyu also spoke up:

“Jingcheng, improve your cultivation well and train your spirit beasts diligently. Coupled with the art of alchemy, your future is unlimited!”

“However, you should also be aware that the family finances are always a big issue. You are currently raising two beasts, and for the most part, you will have to manage on your own!”

Ye Jingyu emphasized the words ’spirit beasts’ while speaking.

Ye Jingyong nodded in agreement and added:

“Jingcheng, when you break through to a Tier One Middle-grade Alchemist, combined with the Red Flame Fox, it would be best for you to oversee the Ye Family’s shop in the Taihang Market. Going into the Taihang Mountain Range hunting demons is always a bit risky!”

“Thank you, Fourth Brother, and Second Brother for your suggestions, Jingcheng will consider them seriously!” Ye Jingcheng nodded upon hearing this.

He was thinking the same in his heart, but when it came to family finances, he also felt a bit strange. The Ye Family’s means of accumulating wealth were not less than other families, yet to the outside cultivators, the impression was always that the Ye Family was poor!

He secretly wondered if the family’s poverty was due to the upkeep of High-Tier Spirit Beasts!

Once this thought appeared, it became persistent and lingering.

After all, the current Patriarch Ye’s spirit beast is a Tier Two Jade-eyed Hanging Eye Tiger, which consumes massive amounts of spiritual food and spirit grain daily.

And this was what Ye Jingcheng already knew.

However, now what delighted him most was that he could freely learn new pill formulas without paying contribution points.

Learning new pill formulas, as one would know, required a significant number of contribution points.

However, the cost of trial and error in refining new pill formulas would certainly not be low.

In an instant, the family token in his hand no longer felt as hot.

After enjoying some spirit tea, Ye Jingyu and Ye Jingyong also took their leave, besides giving contribution points to Ye Jingcheng, they also had to send contribution points to Jing Li.

Once the two of them left, Ye Jingcheng continued his cultivation.

Having returned from the Taihang Mountain Range, he had finally seized a pivotal moment, a chance he naturally needed to grasp.

From the storage bag, he took out a fist-sized pill bottle, which held a single elixir within.

This elixir, named the Cyan Spirit Pill, suited Mid-stage Qi Cultivation cultivators advancing in their cultivation. One pill cost ten spirit stones, something he usually couldn’t bear to use.

Now, at this critical moment of breakthrough, it was also beneficial for him to control the intensity, improve his alchemy skill, and naturally, he would not be hesitant.

As the Cyan Spirit Pill entered his stomach, a powerful surge of spiritual energy immediately emerged within and made its way towards his Qi Sea.

Ye Jingcheng dared not slack off and quickly operated the Li Fire Skill.

As ripples coursed through him, the room soon fell silent.

Ye Jingcheng immersed himself in cultivation, while the Red Flame Fox lay lazily by the door and the Jade Ring Rat scurried occasionally outside the room.

In cultivation, ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, Ye Jingcheng’s body glowed red, and the next moment, a layer of spiritual energy ripple lightly flared and dispersed!

The crouching Red Flame Fox burst forth, widening its eyes to observe.

Ye Jingcheng opened his eyes and emerged from his cultivation.

“Finally, the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer!” Ye Jingcheng reflected on his four years spent at the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer with a mix of feelings.

At the same time, he felt a surge of joy in his heart.

He picked up the Red Flame Fox and infused it with a lot of spiritual light.

With the influx of spiritual light, the Red Flame Fox’s fur became even more blazing, and at that moment, Ye Jingcheng even had the illusion that the fur seemed to come alive like fire.

The Red Flame Fox began to chirp softly, its large tail gently patting Ye Jingcheng.

Its sky-blue eyes looked at Ye Jingcheng, its tongue subconsciously stirring.

Hungry again!

Ye Jingcheng took out a portion of Cyan Cloud Wolf meat and a large bowl of spring water.

The Long-eared Deer meat was quite expensive, none of the four kept it, leaving only the Tier One Cyan Cloud Wolf meat.

After feeding the Red Flame Fox, Ye Jingcheng tidied up the room, maintaining its pristine, fresh, and bright state before leaving the courtyard gate.

He headed towards the Treasure Pavilion.

The Ye Family’s Treasure Pavilion has three floors. The first floor is for exchanging spirit stones and various spirit materials. The second floor is where the Ye Family places its cultivation technique secret manuals.

Generally, Ye Family cultivators can enter the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion for free three times in their lives: once when first ascending the mountain for cultivation to choose a cultivation technique, the second time at Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer to either change their cultivation technique or take the second half of the technique, and the third at Foundation Establishment.

Of course, the permissions for these three times vary, especially the first choice, which offers very few opportunities.

Besides the free opportunities, contribution points can be spent to exchange for some magic and pill formulas!

For example, Fireball Skill, Wood Vine Skill, Quicksand Skill, these are basic magic skills but still require more than ten contribution points each.

Ye Jingcheng walked through winding stone steps, and the Treasure Pavilion appeared before him. The pavilion’s large doors were open, and Ye Jingcheng immediately saw Ye Haiping organizing items, holding a jade talisman, seemingly studying something.

Ye Jingcheng did not speak but quietly stood there.

After several moments, Ye Haiping noticed Ye Jingcheng.

“Jingcheng, why are you standing there? Come in!”

“Eighth Grandpa, I was worried about disturbing you while you were organizing materials.” Ye Jingcheng replied with a smile.

“No disturbance, you’ve broken through?” Ye Haiping shook his head, then scrutinized Ye Jingcheng’s form before speaking in surprise.

“Yes, grandson’s aptitude is poor; only now have I broken through, making Eighth Grandpa laugh!”

“What is there to laugh at? Reaching the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer at your age with Four Spirit Roots is already quite an achievement!” Ye Haiping interrupted.

“You’re here to choose a pill formula, right?”

“Yes!” Ye Jingcheng nodded.

Ye Haiping nodded after listening, saying nothing more, and led Ye Jingcheng upstairs to the second floor.

The second-floor room was narrower than the first.

There were numerous bookshelves, some holding ancient books, while most housed jade talismans.

After passing through two rows filled with ancient books and one row filled with jade talismans, Ye Haiping finally stopped:

“Jingcheng, there are seven Tier One Middle Grade Pill Formulas here, feel free to choose!”

Ye Jingcheng nodded, looking at the jade talismans, noticing the first one was the Cyan Spirit Pill, the very elixir he had consumed.

There were also the Body Tempering Pill, Cyan Essence Pill, Qi Blood Pill, and others…

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng hesitated a bit. Naturally, he wanted the Cyan Spirit Pill because it’s considered the most valuable, with one pill selling for ten spirit stones. If a furnace can produce three or four pills, the profit is considerable.

However, the Cyan Spirit Pill is also the most challenging to refine.

Furthermore, for the purpose of raising spirit beasts, the Spirit Nourishing Pill is like a supplement for enhancing cultivation and blood essence growth, offering balance, but for genuinely boosting a spirit beast’s strength, the Body Tempering Pill is indispensable.
