Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 98: Chapter 98: You’re a Body Cultivator Too?

The Moonlight Stone in the mine cast a dim glow, and the Longquan Stone Ore on the walls emitted a green Spiritual Light, making the mine appear more eerie.

Ye Jingcheng halted, the entire mine was unusually silent.

The Jade Ring Rat was still tapping its ears.

Its paws gestured on the ground of the mine.

Constantly squeaking, it informed Ye Jingcheng that there were people below.

Ye Jingcheng immediately released the Golden Scale Beast, but the Golden Scale Beast seemed as confused as he was, and also seemed displeased with the mine environment.

Seeing the Jade Ring Rat digging, it was about to pounce.

However, Ye Jingcheng grabbed the Golden Scale Tail and pulled it back directly.

“Where is the location?” Ye Jingcheng asked the Jade Ring Rat.

The Jade Ring Rat confidently dug, indicating it was right beneath them.

Ye Jingcheng took out an Earthquake Talisman.

This Earthquake Talisman was an earth attribute Tier One Lower Grade Spirit Talisman, said to only be comparable to basic spirit talismans like the Divine Movement Talisman.

But its unique advantage was its ability to break Earth Escape Skills.

Especially in areas like this mining district.

Whether or not there were cultivators below, one Earthquake Talisman was enough to break their Earth Escape Skill.

Hidden underground, if the Earth Escape Skill was broken, they would either flee or be forever buried underground, crushed by the terrifying pressure!

Usually, cultivators used the Earthquake Talisman to prevent spirit rats from devouring metal ore veins.

Ye Jingcheng applied an Earthquake Talisman towards the underground.

In an instant, a surge of earth-yellow Spiritual Light struck aggressively towards the underground.

A dull sound reverberated throughout the mine, causing countless dust particles to fall, revealing many Longquan Stone Ores yet to be mined.

The next moment, a distinct earth-yellow Spiritual Light surged toward the mine entrance.

“There is indeed someone!” Ye Jingcheng was startled and quickly chased after it.

The earth-yellow Spiritual Light, after a few breaths, landed in the mine, revealing a cultivator dressed in a cyan Li Family robe.

The cultivator’s cultivation was clearly at the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer.

Ye Jingcheng was filled with fear; this cultivator evidently had some secret technique. It was fortunate that the Ye Family’s power was strong enough; otherwise, if this cultivator hid at a corner undetected by his Divine Sense, the consequences of an ambush were unimaginable.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng approach, the Li Family cultivator didn’t flee but instead charged towards Ye Jingcheng, and in the ensuing chase, claws reached for Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng was shocked, and immediately unleashed the Cold Sun Seal.

However, in the narrow confines of the mine, it was too cramped to fully execute it; the Li Family cultivator easily swiped it aside and continued to claw towards Ye Jingcheng’s chest.

The dense Spiritual Light revealed the identity of a Li Family Member; this was a body cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng could still see the triumphant smile on the opponent’s face.

But the next moment, the Li Family cultivator’s expression froze.

His claw struck Ye Jingcheng’s chest, but the anticipated squishing entry did not occur; instead, there was a clanging metallic sound.

As if he had struck not cultivator flesh but rather a cyan boulder.

Ye Jingcheng’s body was knocked backwards.

“Are you also a body cultivator?”

The opponent found it hard to believe and hadn’t considered the Stone Skin Skill; after all, it was capable enough to withstand mundane swords and knives, but not the full force of a body cultivator’s strike.

However, he was destined not to receive an answer.

With the distance pulled apart, Ye Jingcheng immediately cast the Iron Wood Vine!

In this narrow space, the Iron Wood Vine was even more advantageous, and the Golden Scale Beast and Jade Ring Rat charged towards the cultivator!

Earthen spikes fired in succession, making the cultivator’s face turn drastically.

He did not completely evade them, but the earthen spikes that had always been effective against Demon Beasts crumbled this time.

Only a few spikes pierced his skin, leaving trails of blood.

But Ye Jingcheng’s Iron Wood Vine entangled him.

The opponent tried to break free, only to see nine Silver Snow Needles shoot towards the Li Family cultivator’s pupils.

At the same time, the Red Flame Fox was released by Ye Jingcheng, launching two Fireball Skills at the Li Family cultivator!

The Silver Snow Needles were blocked by a Li Family Spirit Talisman, an Earth Shield Skill, but the Fireball Technique nearly filled the entire mine.

The Li Family cultivator was also taken aback; the Red Flame Fox cast Fireball Skills extremely quickly, leaving no room for evasion in the mine!

The surging flames swept over, and to Ye Jingcheng’s surprise, the cultivator did not die but continued fleeing!

However, his aura was much diminished; his body was charred black, and his attire was destroyed, exposing bronzed skin.

On his skin, ghastly fissures began to appear.

This was the horrific temperature, baking his flesh until it cracked.

Ye Jingcheng’s Iron Wood Vine was ready.

It entangled the latter once more.

The Earth Spike Skill fell again!

This time, the Golden Scale Beast used even more Spiritual Power than before, aimed directly at the cultivator’s nether regions.

The cultivator’s steps halted suddenly; perhaps not all parts of a body cultivator were as hard as iron!

And this moment of hesitation allowed the Iron Wood Vine to pull him back!

A Cold Sun Seal released terrifying power of ice and cold, descending suddenly again.

With a tremendous crash, it landed fully, Ye Jingcheng releasing the Silver Snow Needles, aiming for the back of the Li Family cultivator’s neck.

Under a series of attacks, the cultivator was finally killed.

Withdrawing the Cold Sun Seal, Ye Jingcheng sent forth the Golden Scale Beast, its claws smacking down on the cultivator’s head.

The opponent could conceal below, and Ye Jingcheng couldn’t detect him, but there was a high chance he might continue playing dead.

Clearly, the opponent was dead beyond any doubt.

At this moment, Ye Haiyi also rushed in.

“Jingcheng, are you alright!” Ye Haiyi repeatedly asked with concern.

“Third Grandpa, I’m fine. This Li Family cultivator was hiding underground!” Ye Jingcheng pointed to the underground cultivator.

“That’s Li Xiangjin, the Li Family’s genius body cultivator, indeed!” Ye Haiyi, seeing the face, was a bit surprised, then praised Ye Jingcheng repeatedly. He didn’t say much about the appearances of the Red Flame Fox and Golden Scale Beast but motioned for Ye Jingcheng to retract the Red Flame Fox.

The latter’s leg seemed seriously injured before but now appeared much better.

“The Jade Ring Rat discovered it?” Ye Haiyi asked suddenly.

He hadn’t detected Li Xiangjin, indicating Li Xiangjin had a concealing secret technique.

“It did!” Ye Jingcheng nodded, puzzled by how the Jade Ring Rat detected it.

But Ye Jingcheng knew perhaps the Treasure Light caused the Jade Ring Rat’s ears to mutate.

Yet the next moment, he shook his head again.

The Jade Ring Rat didn’t appear in the Treasure Book, so even if its hearing was exceptional, it was destined to find reaching the second Tier difficult.

“Your Spirit Rat is excellent and promising; the resonance from cultivators and ore veins isn’t the same, only a Spirit Beast with extraordinary Ear Power can differentiate!” Ye Haiyi commented again.

Saying this, Ye Haiyi actually conveyed a trace of envy.

To the Ye Clan, he wouldn’t envy your high aptitude, but if you had a highly gifted Spirit Beast, that would be quite enticing.
