Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Inside the Grotto Heaven, the crimson sun hung high in the sky, casting a golden-red hue on the Golden Light Bamboo.

Ye Jingcheng exhaled deeply.

A Blood Shadow also merged with him.

It was the blood avatar of the Spirit Treasure Blood Soul Bead.

After discussing some details with Ye Xingliu and others, Ye Jingcheng returned to the Grotto Heaven.

The journey to the Earth Immortal Realm was inevitable, and even whether the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor would accompany him required further inquiry before a decision could be made. Therefore, the most important thing now was still to enhance his strength.

For Ye Jingcheng, the fastest way to enhance his strength was naturally by enhancing his Spirit Beasts.

And now, he had finally mastered the Spirit Pill knowledge researched by the Blood Soul Bead blood avatar.

In addition, with some Spirit Pill knowledge explained by Mansion Master Xiao, Ye Jingcheng was greatly confident in refining the Jade Qilin Pill, and naturally, there was no need to delay any further.

”Crimson Flame.” Ye Jingcheng called out to the Red Flame Fox.

The Red Flame Fox leapt over from afar.

With an additional tail grown, the Red Flame Fox’s fur became even more magnificent, and the Fire Furnace Spirit Pattern on its brow was exceptionally vivid. Upon close inspection, the Five-Colored Flames within could be seen continuously burning and flickering.

”Lili!” The Red Flame Fox let out a low growl.

Although it didn’t speak, Ye Jingcheng was already aware that the Red Flame Fox was eager to attempt.

This was also Ye Jingcheng’s first large-scale alchemy after the Red Flame Fox’s breakthrough.

Even Ye Jingcheng himself was a bit expectant of how his alchemy skills would fare now with the Red Flame Fox and his Five Phase Furnace.

Ye Jingcheng first fed the Spirit Beasts once, then took out a Storage Bag.

The Storage Bag did not contain other Spirit Medicines but rather the alchemy tasks commissioned over the years.

He also intended to use these Spirit Pills to improve his Pill Sense.

After all, it had been a long time since he last refined pills; practice makes perfect, and alchemy is no exception.

The only regret was that Ye Jingcheng had the pill formulas for all the commissioned Spirit Pills, and these commissioned tasks did not bring new pill formulas to the Ye Family.

The Red Flame Fox spat out Five-Colored Flames, and at this moment, its Spiritual Fire was evidently more precisely controlled. In an instant, as it washed over the Pill Furnace, it allowed the Five Phase Furnace to become a Perfect Furnace, releasing its unique Spirit Shadow.

Ye Jingcheng also began refining the Spirit Pills one by one.

The first batch of Spirit Pills was the Mid-stage Tier Three King Ginseng Pill.

This type of Spirit Pill was highly effective for the cultivation growth of Late-stage Purple Mansion cultivators. The other party had prepared two sets of Spirit Materials.

This Spirit Pill was something Ye Jingcheng had refined before, and this time, his goal was to refine a batch of Full Pills of the Tier Three Middle-Grade Spirit Pill.

As the Spirit Materials were added one by one, the entire Pill Furnace was illuminated by the interplay of the five types of Spirit Shadows.

All the actions were done smoothly in one go.

Unexpectedly smooth.

Two days later, as a rich Spirit Fragrance wafted out, Ye Jingcheng became intensely focused, fearing any mishaps.

If one were to closely observe the Pill Furnace at this moment, one would find that there were as many as ten Pills inside, becoming increasingly plump.

The rich Pill Fragrance also filled Ye Jingcheng with confidence.

A few more hours passed, and the Pill Fragrance reached its peak. Many of Ye Jingcheng’s Spirit Beasts even turned their gaze toward it.

”Rise!” Ye Jingcheng executed the final Spiritual Enhancement Secret Technique.

Inside the Pill Furnace, three of the ten Spirit Pills began to develop delicate Spirit Patterns.

Ye Jingcheng’s expression relaxed considerably.

Ten Full Pills, three with Pill Patterns.

This had undoubtedly advanced Ye Jingcheng’s alchemy skills considerably.

In the end, there was even an additional Pill Pattern Spirit Pill; however, the Spirit Pattern on this one was relatively dull and not very prominent.

Ye Jingcheng put away the ten Spirit Pills and fed the Red Flame Fox a Fire Attribute Spirit Pill. After resting for two hours, he proceeded to refine the second batch.

...

Time flew, and half a year passed by.

At this moment, there were already more than twenty Pill Bottles on the table behind Ye Jingcheng.

Each Pill Bottle contained more than ten Spirit Pills.

As Ye Jingcheng once again executed the Finger Formulas, the Water Phase Spirit Shadow within the Five Phase Furnace began to fluctuate continuously, and the Black Tortoise Spirit Shadow and Flood Dragon Shadow roared within the Pill Furnace.

This caused Ye Jingcheng’s brow to knit slightly.

During this half year, he had already successfully refined the Golden Falcon Pill and the Five-Colored Pill. Now, it was time for the crucial Jade Qilin Pill.

But don’t be deceived; even though the Silver Moon Demon King was only at the Tier Four Peak stage, the aura of the Flood Dragon Blood it contained was truly substantial, presenting a challenge greater than anticipated.

At this moment, the Red Flame Fox also transformed into eight avatars, releasing its Spiritual Fire from eight directions.

The Six-Part Alchemy Method was pushed to its limit by Ye Jingcheng.

”Solidify!” Ye Jingcheng, noticing the pills were starting to form, executed another Spirit Technique, stumbling through to the final Solidifying Pill phase.

Before long, the Pill Furnace was complete, though without any Pill Fragrance. Ye Jingcheng then performed the Spiritual Enhancement Secret Technique once more, allowing the Pill Fragrance to permeate the air.

”Finally, it’s done!” Ye Jingcheng wiped the cold sweat from his brow.

It has to be mentioned that the Water Attribute Spirit Pill was harder to refine than other attribute Spirit Pills; even for him, it almost led to mistakes.

And bear in mind, the Jade Qilin Pill was the one he had researched the longest.

”I was still a bit too hasty. If only I’d taken a break for ten days to half a month before refining the Jade Qilin Pill, it would have been better!” Ye Jingcheng reflected.

After half a year of alchemy practice, he considered that he should be worthy of being a Tier Four High-grade Alchemist. If he utilized the Six-Part Alchemy Method, he could even refine one or two Tier Four Top-Grade Spirit Pills.

After some reflection, Ye Jingcheng polished the Pill Furnace.

He then deactivated the Array and collected all the Spirit Pills behind him.

”Master!” The usually unassuming Jade Qilin Flood Dragon also leapt out from the lake bottom, its eyes filled with longing.

At this moment, the physical aura of the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon was even more powerful.

In Ye Jingcheng’s perception, the time for the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon to break through to the Late Stage of Fourth Tier without taking an Advancement Pill would not exceed five years.

Ever since the Golden Scale Beast successfully advanced, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon indeed felt the pressure.

Its gaze fell on the Five-Colored Cloud Deer and the Golden Falcon; their progress was comparatively slower.

This worried him, concerned that the Golden Falcon Pill and Five-Colored Pill might not simultaneously enable the two beasts to advance successfully and reach the Mid-stage Fourth Tier.

Of course, although he worried, Ye Jingcheng hoped that all three beasts would advance successfully.

So he promptly took out the Spirit Pills and fed them to each.

Once the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon swallowed a Spirit Pill, its entire body radiated Spiritual Light, and it couldn’t help but let out a long roar, the Flood Dragon Roar exuding immense majesty, giving Ye Jingcheng a momentary illusion of encountering a True Dragon.

”Master!” It was the first time the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon hadn’t requested Spirit Beast Meat.

After the shout, it prepared to dive back into the lake.

It was only when Ye Jingcheng took out a Tier Three Cyan Ox’s carcass for it to devour that it became more excited and exhilarated.

The Five-Colored Cloud Deer’s Five-Colored Spiritual Light was also exceptionally intense, while the Golden Falcon was slightly lackluster. Ye Jingcheng then retrieved two Tier Four Gold Attribute Spirit Pills for the Golden Falcon to consume.

The three beasts then all entered their advancement stages.

Ye Jingcheng set up three Arrays and exhaled deeply.

If everything went smoothly, he would soon have five Tier Four Mid-stage Demon King Spirit Beasts.

Even against a Golden Core Peak, he would not be afraid.

The only slight blemish was his lack of a suitable Battle Array; otherwise, his strength could be even greater.

”Master!” At this moment, the Golden Scale Beast also came over, its effort remained unrivaled in the entire Grotto Heaven.

And it was evident that it wanted to devour more Spirit Pills.

”The Advancement Pill can only be consumed after you break through to Tier Five. If you can be the first to break through to Tier Five, when it comes to refining the Advancement Pill, you’ll likewise be the first!” Ye Jingcheng promised.

He simultaneously offered two Earth Attribute Spirit Pills for the Golden Scale Beast to consume.

After swallowing the Spirit Pills, it headed towards the Celestial Spirit Body Refining Array.

However, without the Five-Colored Cloud Deer, it lacked a suitable sparring partner and went to provoke the Red Flame Fox.

Yet the Red Flame Fox remained completely unmoved.

The Golden Scale Beast ultimately had to resort to pleading.

Only then, glancing at Ye Jingcheng, did the Red Flame Fox agree!
