Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Two Pill Formulas

Treasure Pavilion, Ye Jingcheng entered once again. At the ancient desk, Ye Haiping was still meticulously arranging the jade talismans.

The family brought back quite a bit of good spirit medicine and spirit beast materials this time.

These all needed to be categorized and documented.

“Eighth Granduncle, need any help?” Ye Jingcheng approached and took out the spirit tea bottle, brewing a pot of spirit tea for Ye Haiping.

Seeing the steaming hot tea and smelling the refreshing fragrance in the air, Ye Haiping couldn’t help but admire that Ye Jingcheng’s skill and understanding of spirit tea had become more refined.

“You are considerate, but I’ve almost finished,” Ye Haiping put down the jade talisman and placed some miscellaneous items into the corresponding cabinets.

He sat at the desk, took the teacup handed to him by Ye Jingcheng, and took a soothing sip of spirit tea. As the warmth and spirit fragrance spread through his body, Ye Haiping continued:

“You performed well this time!”

“Eighth Granduncle, you overestimate me. It’s all the family’s credit; I just took some small advantages,” Ye Jingcheng shook his head.

Ye Haiping said no more, though his eyes still revealed satisfaction.

Ye Jingcheng did not boast boastfully, maintaining humility, very much in line with being a qualified clan cultivator.

Not saying more, as there was nothing to pick fault with.

“Eighth Granduncle, these are some gains this time, hoping you could assess how many Contribution Points they can be converted into!” Ye Jingcheng took out a storage bag, then brought out the spirit snake hide, spirit snake venom fang, spirit snake venom sac, whole spirit snakes, and a large amount of Red Section Fish that he had already prepared.

He kept less than ten for himself.

Ye Haiping carefully examined them and priced each one:

“The snake hide is quite intact, that’s five Contribution Points, the venom fang is potent enough to refine a decent Dark Dagger, another three Contribution Points…”

“The Red Section Fish can fetch 2 Contribution Points each, totaling four hundred and sixty-eight Contribution Points!” Ye Haiping gave a number.

This was about what Ye Jingcheng expected. He estimated he could exchange for five hundred Contribution Points, but he kept a few more Red Section Fish.

“Eighth Granduncle, can these be exchanged for a Tier One High-Grade pill formula to enhance cultivation?” Ye Jingcheng handed over his clan token, waiting for Ye Haiping to transfer the Contribution Points.

He then took out the teapot again to pour another cup for Ye Haiping.

“As a Tier One High-Grade Alchemist in the family, you can study the family’s Tier One High-Grade formulas for free!”

“If it’s to enhance the Red Flame Fox, choose the Red Ganoderma Pill; for the Golden Scale Beast, the Lotus Yellow Pill,” Ye Haiping handed back the clan token and took another sip of spirit tea.

Ye Jingcheng was instantly delighted, not expecting that upon reaching Tier One High-Grade Alchemist, he could study the family’s Tier One High-Grade formulas for free.

Moreover, Ye Haiping had already planned which spirit pills to choose for his two spirit beasts.

However, he quickly understood, for a family, they certainly want to cultivate talented alchemists. The reason for setting Tier One Lower-grade and Middle-grade Alchemists to exchange formulas with Contribution Points is somewhat due to the family’s lack of resources, and to prevent family members from blindly learning alchemy skills.

But among the Tier One High-Grade Alchemists, the Ye family probably has no more than five.

Yet Ye Jingcheng estimated that the Ye family must have Tier Two Alchemists.

The Third Elder, Ye Haiyi, could wield Tier Two Spiritual Artifacts through the Beast Communication Pattern, so family members could also refine Tier Two Elixirs using it!

Ye Jingcheng recalled Ye Haiyun’s seemingly effortless alchemy skills and suddenly realized.

As Ye Jingcheng pondered, Ye Haiping headed to the second floor, and after waiting for ten breaths, returned with two jade talismans in hand.

“You can view them for at most half a month before returning them. Spirit medicine materials are also available to you at an eighty percent price!” Ye Haiping said.

“Eighth Granduncle, I’ll exchange for ten portions each!” Ye Jingcheng took the jade talismans, delighted at a glance, and handed his clan token to Ye Haiping.

For these spirit pills that enhanced cultivation, the Ye family’s treasury naturally had stocks.

After exchanging ten portions, Ye Jingcheng’s Contribution Points were reduced by another two hundred!

Even knowing this was at an eighty percent discount.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingcheng realized he needed more Contribution Points.

Fortunately, as long as he refined several furnaces of elixirs, he would make it back. Now that the Red Flame Fox had grown two tails, its control over flame had reached another level, giving him particular confidence in alchemy.

After exchanging for these two types of spirit medicine, Ye Jingcheng also exchanged for materials for Cyan Spirit Pills, Body Tempering Pills, and Spirit Nourishing Pills.

Although these elixirs were less effective, they were still useful, especially the Body Tempering Pill aiding the development of the Golden Scale Beast’s scale armor.

Not to mention Spirit Nourishing Pills, combined with spirit beast meat, are essential for rapid spirit beast growth.

Otherwise, if spirit beasts were left to grow freely, their power growth would be painfully slow.

With the clan token’s dimming once more, Ye Jingcheng felt a pang of regret.

He drank his spirit tea more quickly.

Meanwhile, Ye Haiping continued to sip slowly, with a look of perpetual reminiscence, seemingly lost in memory.

Before they knew it, a pot of spirit tea was gone.

Ye Jingcheng wanted to brew more, but Ye Haiping stopped him.

Ye Jingcheng could only desist.

On leaving, Ye Jingcheng asked one last thing:

“Eighth Granduncle, how many Contribution Points are needed to exchange for higher-level spirit beast eggs or cubs within the family?”

“You’ll know when you reach the late stage of Qi Cultivation!” This time, Ye Haiping unusually didn’t answer directly, leaving it a mystery.

Ye Jingcheng nodded and didn’t ask any further, aware that no amount of asking would get an answer.

The Ye family is mysterious precisely because of its high level of secrecy.

Adding the method of identity confirmation through the Beast Communication Pattern.

As for how to obtain the Beast Communication Pattern, Ye Jingcheng guessed it required passing the family’s tests, perhaps even needing the majority of the Elders’ approval.

In his estimation, among those he knew in the Jing Generation, only he, his second brother, and fourth brother had the Beast Communication Pattern.

If he wasn’t mistaken, Ye Jingli was likely close to obtaining it too.

After pondering a bit, Ye Jingcheng returned to his courtyard, reactivating the array before starting to refine Cyan Spirit Pills.

When Ye Jingcheng took out the Cyan Elephant Furnace, the Red Flame Fox chirped excitedly, also seeming very eager.

It stood proudly, the spirit fire on its forehead burning gently with the wind, remarkably mystical.

Ye Jingcheng began the refining process, placing the terrifyingly hot flames into the Cyan Elephant Furnace.

Instantly, sizzle sizzle, countless Cyan Elephant Spirit Patterns emerged, becoming animated.

This time, Ye Jingcheng chose the swift refining method, unexpectedly succeeding on his first try!

This was also Ye Jingcheng’s first time refining pills after the Red Flame Fox’s advancement.

As each spirit medicine entered the pill furnace, the process remained orderly, and even before the pills formed, a pill fragrance began emanating…
