Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Across the boundless wilderness, a Spirit Rainbow swiftly swept by, leaving behind a long cyan glow that lingered for a long time.

The swirling gusts howled loudly around his ears.

Ye Jingcheng stood on the Profound Light Ship, looking behind him, his face extremely solemn as he continuously swallowed elixirs and clutched Spirit Stones.

Of course, beneath the surface of gravity, his heart was greatly relieved, and separating from a few Mansion Masters indeed involved a gamble.

But as expected, most of the Demon Cultivators at the Golden Core stage pursued the Mansion Masters, while the two Nascent Souls chased after Xu Huai True Monarch.

Therefore, this direction, even though a flatland and not ideal for hiding, was perhaps the safest.

Plus, he was the fastest in this direction, already leaving others miles behind.

The one pursuing him was only a peak Golden Core Demon Cultivator from an ordinary sect.

Judging from his robe, he didn’t belong to the Celestial Demon Sect or the Profound Celestial Sect, merely having a Spirit Shadow of the Blood Spear on it.

After pondering the possibilities, Ye Jingcheng could only think of Silver Spear True Master from the Demon Pass Mansion’s Blood Spear Sect as matching this person.

Yet in his memory, this Silver Spear True Master should be an elder, with a cultivation at only the late stage of Golden Core.

Ye Jingcheng, unable to understand, decided not to overthink it. He keenly noticed the Demon Cultivator’s gaze consistently focused on his Spirit Beast Bag, likely intrigued by his two Spirit Beasts, thus pursuing him.

Feigning excessive True Essence depletion, Ye Jingcheng released the Golden Scale Beast and the Red Flame Fox.

Furthermore, he exposed the injuries of the two beasts.

The Demon Cultivator, seeing this, not only didn’t give up the pursuit, but became even more excited.

As if he truly believed Ye Jingcheng was lacking in cultivation, somewhat fearful, hence releasing the Spirit Beasts beforehand.

Noting this, Ye Jingcheng widened the gap again, ensuring Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn’t catch up, then began intermittently lowering his speed, strategically reducing escape speed, and then maximizing the Nine Spirit Sails with his spirit technique.

Through pull and push, the distance between them grew increasingly closer.

Finally, as the Demon Cultivator activated a Spirit Talisman, once more accelerating the Spirit Ship, the distance between them stayed at six hundred zhang for the first time.

The Demon Cultivator then cast several spirit techniques.

Numerous Spiritual Lights gathered behind him, beginning to manifest silver spears one after another.

Each silver spear exuded tremendous spiritual might, with a strength rivaling Tier Four Treasures.

Ultimately, nine manifested, and with a point of his finger, all the silver spears thrust towards Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng raised his hand, the Xi Wang Blood Mother Sword transforming into Sword Light to slash, while the Red Flame Fox unleashed the Five-Color Fire Furnace, and the Golden Scale Beast deployed the Earth Qilin Hall.

With a resounding clang, the Xi Wang Blood Mother Sword was repelled, the Five-Color Fire Furnace turned into Spiritual Fire dispersing, and the Earth Qilin Hall crumbled under the silver spears.

Ye Jingcheng’s brow furrowed further in shock, casting several Spirit Talismans.

Only then did he barely manage to withstand this move, but to Ye Jingcheng’s dismay, the subsequent spear wasn’t merely a Secret Technique Spirit Shadow, but was genuinely fashioned from a Tier Four Top-Grade Treasure.

Suddenly speeding up, it pierced all Spirit Talisman spiritual lights, even breaking through the Spirit Shield of the Profound Light Ship, finally landing directly before Ye Jingcheng!

Clang!

With the final defensive Spirit Armor, Ye Jingcheng’s body was instantly knocked back.

Seeing this, the Demon Cultivator was delighted, leaping off the Spirit Ship, swiftly approaching Ye Jingcheng with a bizarre, floating gait.

Upon reaching within a dozen or so zhang, he raised his hand again, nine silver spears flying out.

”At least you’re somewhat vigilant, but it’s too late!” Ye Jingcheng scoffed.

He then took out a Celestial Hatred Bowl, aiming it at the Demon Cultivator.

The latter’s face changed dramatically upon seeing this, realizing he’d been tricked, his figure flickered, leaving numerous afterimages.

At that moment, golden Spiritual Light descended, accompanied by terrifying gravitational pull, rendering even the most extreme steps slow.

Purple flames appeared on him, even beginning to turn violet.

Ye Jingcheng unleashed Five Elements Divine Thunder.

However, to Ye Jingcheng’s surprise, the cultivator, like a cicada shedding its shell, shriveled and contracted, shedding like a husk.

His true body had already appeared outside the gravitational pull.

The Cyan Yang Flame missed, akin to puppet shadows burning away, leaving only a Storage Bag.

Even the Silver Spear Treasure wasn’t left behind.

This baffling escape method, in Ye Jingcheng’s view, surpassed Blood Escape in mastery.

The sole flaw was that items like Storage Bags and Spirit Beast Bags, which couldn’t be absorbed internally, couldn’t escape together.

Ye Jingcheng certainly didn’t intend to let him go, but with nothing left but frustration, the newly emerged figure also began to shed.

Repeating in cycles, no matter how Ye Jingcheng tried to chase, he couldn’t catch up, unless he released the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor.

Yet he wasn’t certain if there were any Nascent Soul watching nearby, so he naturally wouldn’t release the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor.

Simply marking this person’s appearance, Ye Jingcheng chose a direction and swiftly took off again.

...

On the outskirts of the Lower Immortal Realm, Cyan Elephant Mountain lay rugged, resembling a cyan elephant, lifting its trunk and bellowing.

A figure darted from afar, surveyed Cyan Elephant Mountain for any signs of cultivators remaining, then let out a long sigh of relief.

This figure is none other than Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Family previously discovered this Cyan Elephant Mountain as a Tier Four Secret Realm.

There are not many treasures, and it has been visited by too many cultivators. It can even be said that there aren’t any spiritual medicines over three hundred years old left.

Such a secret realm may not have treasures, but for Ye Jingcheng, it is most suitable for hiding.

Ye Jingcheng soon finds the entrance to the secret realm and enters it.

Once inside, he releases the Jade Ring Rat and Celestial Treasure Rat, then the Red Flame Fox and Golden Scale Beast, even letting the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon search within the secret realm.

After confirming there is no danger, Ye Jingcheng begins to set up an array, and uses the Celestial Hatred Bowl to directly block the entrance of the secret realm.

Only after doing this does Ye Jingcheng enter his own grotto heaven.

Within the grotto heaven, Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan also awaken and look at Ye Jingcheng.

”Jingcheng, did something happen outside?” Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan were unaware of the siege on the Righteous Sect, but they could see the Red Flame Fox and Golden Scale Beast going out several times.

”Second Uncle Ancestor, Fourth Uncle Ancestor, it’s just some small matters of the Righteous Sect...” Ye Jingcheng spoke candidly.

After he finished explaining, Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan nodded.

”You handled this well, but you should have delayed reporting it a bit longer.” Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan said.

Regarding saving the cultivators of the Righteous Sect, the two naturally didn’t care; they only worried whether Ye Jingcheng was in danger.

And delaying time is indeed a good tactic.

After all, only with enough time can the Righteous Sect prepare more, and he can gather more cultivators.

If a few more Nascent Soul cultivators are gathered, it wouldn’t be the Righteous Sect being besieged, but the Profound Celestial Sect being surrounded.

”Thank you for the guidance, Second Uncle Ancestor and Fourth Uncle Ancestor. It was Jingcheng’s oversight!” Ye Jingcheng also nodded.

”Jingcheng, this time the family’s harvest is unprecedented!” After understanding the current situation, Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan began introducing it.

The two, within the grotto heaven, both healed wounds and tallied the harvest.

”Jingcheng, from the Light Extreme Origin Mountain Secret Realm, the family obtained two spirit treasures, five Tier Five treasures, including four Tier Five middle-grade treasures, one Tier Five lower-grade treasure, one Tier Four top-grade treasure, and two Tier Four high-grade treasures!”

”The Beast Tower is yet to be studied, but the Profound Lotus Spirit Grass is not only a weapon for attack and defense but can also help cultivators cross the Heart Demon Barrier during tribulations, and you can use it then!”

”Among the Tier Five treasures, two sword embryo treasure swords are both Tier Five middle-grade treasures, with astonishing sword qi that even after you advance to Tier Five, Jingcheng, you can use them.”

”Next is the Golden Cicada Bead; this bead can suppress possession and base-taking and is effective against Blood Cultivators and Evil Cultivators, also a supreme treasure.”

”Even the least of them, the Red Demon Fan, can be considered a high-quality treasure among Tier Five lower-grade treasures, and the Eight Trigrams Spirit Locking Disc treasure is comparable to two magical treasure flying swords!” Ye Xuecang, despite his years of experience and a temperament as calm as an ancient well, was still somewhat excited when introducing these treasures.

These treasures recounted are not ordinary magical treasures but Tier Five treasures and spirit treasures.

Such praise is not excessive.

With these words out, Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but be delighted, and considering these spirit treasures, he has already gathered the Five Demons Nascent Soul Secret Technique, Nascent Soul Pill main ingredient, top-grade spirit stones, Nascent Soul Pill, along with the Ye Family’s planning with Chenjing Jade, Spirit Grass treasure, and the very Beast Communication Pattern’s enhancement.

The chances of breaking through to Nascent Soul have reached a terrifying level.

Of course, reaching this point, Ye Jingcheng also needs to make some choices.

Although some Nascent Soul treasures provide overlapping enhancements.

If he can save on this, he should indeed save some out.

Counting the five Tier Five treasures and two Tier Five treasures and Yin Yang Chessboard Bead obtained by the Ye Family from Zhang Zhiqiu, the Ye Family now has eight Tier Five treasures, even if two new Nascent Soul cultivators emerge from the Ye Family, they will not lack handy treasures.

Besides these, the Ancient Treasure count has now reached two items, and spirit treasures have reached three, unprecedented prosperity.

”Besides these treasures, plus the spiritual medicines found on Sikong Ziming and True Monarch Chi Xue, our family has obtained a total of thirty-nine Tier Five spiritual medicines, including Nascent Soul Pill, Tier Five Yellow Dragon Ginseng, Tier Five Yellow Cloud Ganoderma, Tier Five Cyan Sky Yellow Cloud Fruit, Tier Five Golden Sandalwood, Tier Five Cyan Cloud Purple Blue Grass...”

”One hundred sixty-nine Tier Four spiritual medicines, including two Celestial Dragon Fruit spirit fruits, three Gold Condensing Fruits...”

Ye Xuecang continues to list these precious items like a treasured collection, and Ye Jingcheng listens with a face full of delight.

Counting what the Ye Family obtained previously at Jiyuan Mountain, the Ye Family’s Tier Five spiritual medicines this time exceeds fifty, and Tier Four spiritual medicines exceed three hundred, many of which cannot be found in the outside world.

Even the main ingredients for Tier Five Advancement Pills for his spirit beasts have been substantially gathered.

Once the Ye Family returns smoothly to the Desert Sea, it will be hard for them to lack spiritual medicines for the next three hundred years.

Beyond these, Ye Xuecang also tallied the legacy obtained by the Ye Family, including Tier Three spiritual medicines and some special mineral materials.

The legacy from Jiyuan Mountain wasn’t much; only one was exchanged by Ye Xuefan, but they obtained two from True Monarch Chi Xue, and two from Sikong Ziming.

Including the legacy obtained from various secret realms like Youyun Hall, Chess Heaven Pavilion, the Ye Family secured nearly ten legacies this time.

”These were obtained from the Demon Cultivators, probably not much to gain!” After completing the tally, Ye Jingcheng took out several newly acquired storage bags.

Of which, Celestial Demon Sect occupies two, the remaining one is the storage bag of a person suspected to be from Blood Spear Sect.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng does not expect much.

After all, they were all Golden Core, embroiled in conflict for so long, likely not having had a good chance to seek treasures.

The first two storage bags indeed reflect this; the magical treasures are quite ordinary, and the harvest is limited. Only the last storage bag with an owner surprises Ye Jingcheng immensely:

”In that Tier Four Secret Realm, there is a Tier Four Taichu Pure Origin Geng Gold Vein, no wonder the Righteous Sect gathered cultivators so early, they are probably mining this Taichu Pure Origin Geng Gold, Second Uncle Ancestor’s Lifebound Sword Embryo has its source!”

This pure yuan Geng gold is an excellent material for sword embryos, although only in rough ore form, the quantity is considerable.
