Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 380: Chapter 354: Inheritance and Concealment

Ye Jingcheng lingered in the Alchemy Pavilion for quite a while, as a crisp bell sound rang again.

Several inexperienced clansmen gradually walked out from the Pavilion.

Some bore joyful expressions, holding pill bottles, while others looked gloomy, evidently facing issues with their elixirs.

Being an Alchemy Master holds limitless potential, yet without talent, it becomes a loss-making endeavor in the early stages, wasting time and Spirit Stones.

For the family, support is provided early on, but not extensively.

Ye Jingcheng felt differently touched as each one called him Eleventh Brother.

He realized he could somewhat understand the past of Ye Haiyun and Ye Haitian.

So he requested a room from Ye Haitian.

Inside, he began refining Spirit Pills, also leaving a small gap just as Ye Haiyun once did, though he made it even larger.

From the latter’s perspective now, he realized that Ye Haiyun might have been waiting not just for him in the past, but for that batch of eager clansmen.

Seeing the new renters of the Earth Fire Room and those leaving after renting, he noted none spared a glance at the gap and sighed.

Such things cannot be forced, just like how he read in his previous life.

As the saying goes, teaching to fish is better than giving fish.

But how many truly see it clearly?

This time, what he refined was the Spirit Cultivation Pill. Being a Tier One Top-Grade Elixir, he was adept at its refinement, and without the Red Flame Fox, he expected at least eight or nine pills per furnace.

After three to four hours, the Spirit Pattern on the Pill Furnace lit up one by one, with an aromatic Pill Fragrance overflowing, a few Spirit Pills flew out, landing in Ye Jingcheng’s hand.

This time he refined nine Spirit Cultivation Pills, missing one for a Full Pill, yet there was one with a Pill Pattern, which was quite satisfactory for Ye Jingcheng.

He organized the Pill Furnace before leaving the Earth Fire Room, bidding farewell to Ye Haitian, unexpectedly receiving another jade talisman from him.

“Jingcheng, this Jade Talisman was allocated by your Fourth Grandpa for my research, said it will be handy for you in the future!” Ye Haitian said, exhaling briskly.

As if he had accomplished a significant task entrusted to him.

“Thank you, Grandpa Nine!” Ye Jingcheng nodded, accepting the Jade Talisman, deeply moved.

But he also knew, the family operates this way.

Each generation’s research builds the foundation for the next’s resurgence.

Whether it’s inheritance or experience, loose cultivators cannot compare, a primary reason for his loyalty to the family.

The family provided him with protection and resources for growth, thus as a Patriarch, he could, if not elevate to great heights in cultivation, at least offer a nudge.

Ye Jingcheng put away the Jade Talisman and made his way to the Treasure Pavilion.

The family’s Treasure Pavilion, now renovated, had three levels, with even more magnificent carvings above.

Ye Haiping from the Treasure Pavilion appeared as youthful as ever, donned in the loose Daoist Robe of the Ye Family, sitting at the gate, holding a Jade Talisman and sifting through piles of records.

Just a glance showed traces of the Supreme Turtle Concealing Qi Technique, with Spiritual Energy fluctuating, although subtle, it couldn’t deceive his late-stage Foundation Establishment Divine Sense.

Almost instantly, he understood.

Yet, this scenarios are normal to him, for if Lingyun Peak held no hidden cultivators amid so many in Foundation Establishment, it’d be unbelievable.

A Sects wouldn’t believe it!

Almost all families under the Taiyi Sect shielded such, a Beast Taming Clan of several hundred years without it is even more suspicious for the Ye Family.

Ye Jingcheng speculated that some True Masters and Ascendants of the Taiyi Sect likely discerned Ye Haiping before, just left it unsaid.

“Grandpa Eight!” Ye Jingcheng prepared Spirit Tea for Ye Haiping.

Compared to the Alchemy Pavilion’s occasional hustle, the Treasure Pavilion required regularly exchanging Spirit Medicines and Treasures.

That kept Ye Haiping slightly busier.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng arrive, Ye Haiping promptly gave him a spot and a ledger to peruse.

“Grandpa Eight, my affairs are going nowhere, no need to jest with your grandson!”

“This time here, it’s mainly to enjoy Spirit Tea with you, though presently, I feel enjoying Spirit Wine with you more fitting,” Ye Jingcheng swiftly declined.

The latter beamed instantly.

He had always found Ye Haiping somewhat mysterious; looking now, it seems true.

Ye Jingcheng brewed Yunfu Tea.

Poured a cup for Ye Haiping, and served the recently prepared Star-Feeding Fish as well.

However, though Ye Haiping accepted the Spirit Tea, he gently declined the Spiritual Cuisine.

Ye Jingcheng had decided to directly put the Spiritual Cuisine into the Storage Bag for him later.

Ye Haiping often favored him kindly, often adding extras or discounts when he purchased Spirit Materials.

Without waiting for Ye Haiping’s refusal, Ye Jingcheng took out a Jade Talisman and Clan Token.

“I hope Grandpa Eight can help exchange some materials!” The materials Ye Jingcheng needed were for the Tier One Thunder Rhinoceros Pill, and auxiliary materials for Tier One Golden Scale and Jade Qilin Pills.

The Thunder Rhinoceros Insect was ready for advancement, having high loyalty at present, combined with the Amber Crystal acquired earlier, the potential for a Tier Two mutated Thunder Insect was high.

Meanwhile, the other two Spirit Pills were ones Ye Jingcheng planned to improve like Crimson Flame Pill.

Seeing this, Ye Haiping took the Jade Talisman, then the Clan Token.

One glance at the Token, Ye Haiping appeared stunned, and looked again in disbelief.

Continuing to gaze at Ye Jingcheng in astonishment, it took a while before recollecting himself.

“I’ll fetch them now!” Ultimately, Ye Haiping did not voice the question.

The Secret Realm yield was the family’s top secret, currently known only to Ye Xingliu, Ye Jingcheng, Ye Haicheng, and some hidden Foundation Establishment cultivators of Ye Family.

Ye Jingcheng could not elaborate; having fetched the materials, he did not linger.

Then left the Treasure Pavilion, heading to the residences of Ye Xingqun and Ye Xinghan.

Since visiting the elder, he planned to take a day visiting everyone.

After heading to the Bamboo Forest, Ye Jingcheng relished Cyan Bamboo Wine brewed with Bamboo Leaf Green once more, as Ye Xingqun’s Five Poison Bees were well cultivated, birthing the second batch of Spirit Eggs, numbering over a thousand.

Ye Xinghan’s Wood Demon Soul Contract reached a new height; the Corpse Contract Technique found from the Corpse Daoist granted immense inspiration.

Of course, the Peach Wood Demon helped with experimentation unavoidably.

Overall, the Spirit Contract for the Wood Demon was nearly perfected, needing minor improvements.

Additionally, a true wild Wood Demon is necessary for testing.

The Peach Wood Demon, after all, is excessively obedient to Ye Jingcheng, lacking much reference value.

In return, Ye Xinghan offered Ye Jingcheng two top-notch Yunfu Tea plants.

Having been meticulously chosen and cultivated with Spirit Liquid by Ye Xinghan, they emitted Spirit Fragrance with the prospect of reaching Tier One Peak Spirit Tea quality.

For Ye Jingcheng, these plants might even reach Tier Two under Treasure Light’s enhancement.
