Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Spirit Cultivation Pill

Ye Haiyun remained silent, focusing intently on refining the elixirs.

Jingcheng watched attentively, quickly memorizing it in the jade talisman.

As each spirit medicine was released—Jade Beauty Fruit, Toothless Grass…

Jingcheng glanced at the jade talisman, his face full of surprise.

This elixir perfectly coincides with those used in the Spirit Nourishing Pill, except for over twenty additional spirit medicines.

More complex, with the primary medicine more precious, being the Tier One High-Grade Centennial Jade Flower Grass.

This reminded Jingcheng of a Tier One Top-Grade pill formula from the Ye Family.

Named the Spirit Cultivation Pill, in the Ye Family it’s said to be specially supplied to Foundation Establishment Spirit Beasts, especially during breakthrough moments when used more frequently. A single Spirit Cultivation Pill is worth seventy to eighty spirit stones.

Equivalent to a Qi Cultivation Cultivator’s twenty-year annual salary in the Ye Family.

And now, Ye Haiyun was refining it openly before him.

Jingcheng’s heart stirred, immersing his entire spirit into it.

The value of this experience was immense. Aside from the formula’s intrinsic value, Ye Haiyun’s alchemical techniques were mesmerizing.

Masterful furnace control, impeccable temperature management—at this moment, Jingcheng could almost believe the pill furnace was Ye Haiyun’s spirit beast.

Soon, with the rapid rotation of the furnace cauldron, the lid flew off, and a rich pill fragrance filled the entire fire room.

Inside the pill furnace, nine exceptionally plump Spirit Cultivation Pills appeared at the furnace base, which Ye Haiyun casually summoned into a pill bottle.

Ye Haiyun then continued to clean the furnace walls and proceeded with furnace nurturing.

Every motion was precise, and with a confident wave, this was alchemy that left Jingcheng wholly engrossed.

After completing the refinement, Ye Haiyun still didn’t speak, continuing to open the furnace and refine.

One furnace, two furnaces!

Three furnaces!

Five furnaces!

…

For five entire days, Ye Haiyun kept refining, while Jingcheng kept watching.

Ye Haiyun’s eyes were tired as his pace in alchemy slowed.

Pill formation dwindled from nine or ten pills to seven or eight.

This was the eighth furnace Jingcheng had witnessed.

And all replete with Spirit Cultivation Pills.

This left Jingcheng taken aback; he originally thought the family summoned Ye Haiyun back to rescue Turtle Ancestor, but it turned out he was continually refining Spirit Cultivation Pills here.

The Ye Family evidently had a Foundation Establishment Spirit Beast ready to break through!

Recalling the night of the grand competition, where rain poured incessantly…

Jingcheng felt as if the truth was slowly unveiling before him.

Of course, amidst excitement, his weariness was hard to conceal.

After five days, his spirit was severely depleted; in the intense earth fire’s high temperatures, Jingcheng’s body began to flush, as did his Li Fire Spiritual Power, emanating a trace of agitation.

Jingcheng understood that this was due to excessive spirit consumption.

“Rest for half a day!” Ye Haiyun finally ceased, speaking for the first time, as he sat quietly nearby, meditating to restore his spirit.

Seeing this, Jingcheng also summarized the new furnace refinement in the jade talisman before starting his meditation to recover.

With the array shutting down, the earth fire became isolated by a furnace plate, and the temperature inside the fire room gradually cooled down.

Just like Jingcheng’s mental state.

After a day’s meditation, Jingcheng felt his vitality slowly restore, his Li Fire Skill automatically circulated, emitting a warm sensation.

Making him feel refreshed.

He opened his eyes, seeing Ye Haiyun still meditating beside him, clearly indicating that refining spirit pills consumed more than a day’s worth of recovery.

Jingcheng took out the jade talisman again, consolidating the alchemy techniques and experiences he had recorded.

During this time, Ye Haiyun also opened his eyes, glancing at Jingcheng, nodding before he closed his eyes once more.

After another half hour, Jingcheng opened his eyes again, with a sense of delight filling his gaze.

These five days had been incredibly rewarding for him.

Many of Ye Haiyun’s alchemy techniques greatly broadened his perspective.

If before his alchemy was merely his own exploration and rigid adherence to pill formulas, now he could think about optimization and whether to employ simpler, better methods for refining spirit pills based on the formula.

Having experience and guidance, versus none, the disparity is akin to the chasm between ordinary loose cultivators and regular clan cultivators.

If he were to refine the Ice Purity Pill now, he’d be confident of a fifty percent pill formation rate, with at least four pills attainable!

Moreover, the Spirit Cultivation Pill formula was deeply etched into Jingcheng’s mind.

Be aware that this is a Tier One Top-Grade pill formula.

In the family, it took Jingcheng hundreds of contribution points to exchange for a Tier One High-Grade pill formula.

In this way, he saved nearly a thousand contribution points.

This made Jingcheng contemplate, pondering when to bring spirit tea to invite Ye Haiping, the guardian of the Treasure Pavilion, to share some spirit tea.

If it wasn’t for the latter’s recommendation, Jingcheng might never have considered coming to the Pill Pavilion.

As Jingcheng hesitated, Ye Haiyun finally spoke:

“You’ve seen enough, how about you refine a furnace of elixirs?”

Ye Haiyun’s eyes held a bit of encouragement.

Over the years, he’s naturally recognized Jingcheng’s talents; otherwise, he wouldn’t have opened the door for him.

Now it equated to a test for Jingcheng after learning!

“Alright, Fourth Grandfather!” Jingcheng nodded, his heart tinged with excitement.

Then he took out the Three-Eared Pill Furnace, though the furnace still had a missing socket, with the missing part turning black over years of intense fire exposure.

Ye Haiyun frowned but didn’t speak.

Ready to activate the earth fire.

“Fourth Grandfather, I don’t need earth fire for refining!” Jingcheng summoned the Red Flame Fox.

The Red Flame Fox saw Jingcheng’s immense respect towards Ye Haiyun, so it also behaved obediently.

Though its body now wasn’t like that of an ordinary fox.

Jingcheng took a deep breath and began nurturing the furnace.

This time, nurturing the furnace used the same technique as Ye Haiyun, with the powerful flame landing precisely on the spirit pattern of the pill furnace.

This time, Jingcheng made progress, nurturing the furnace in just eight breaths.

Then he started taking out the spirit medicines for the Ice Purity Pill.

Despite having seen so many Spirit Cultivation Pills, he still lacked confidence and certainly didn’t have the materials for them.

Thus, he took out the materials for the Ice Purity Pill for refining.

After rounds of refinement, he became more proficient and comfortable, surprising Ye Haiyun!

Not only due to Jingcheng’s unique spirit fox alchemy but also because Jingcheng’s technique displayed evident skill.

This represented Jingcheng likely having long since mastered the Ice Purity Pill, reaching the level of a Tier One High-Grade Alchemist!

The Ice Purity Pill proceeded methodically, ultimately, with the flipping of the furnace lid.

Six Ice Purity Pills appeared inside the furnace, immensely pleasing Jingcheng!

This was much as he expected; his alchemy skill advanced again, and once he digests this alchemical knowledge!

The Red Flame Fox’s spirit pills can start refining, and he eagerly anticipates the moment of its advancement!
