Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

In the Desert Sea Black Crow Forbidden Land, the entire forbidden area had likewise been greatly expanded along with the Ye Family’s development.

Inside the forbidden land, there were more Black Crow Ancient Trees, and quite a few saplings of the Black Crow Ancient Tree were growing within.

It was just that among the Black Crow Ancient Trees, after so many years, only one Tier Three Purple Mansion Wood Demon had been added.

One Black Crow after another would sometimes soar upward, sometimes dive down from high in the sky.

Compared to the past, when these Black Crows could only travel a long way to fly to the Celestial Departure Grassland to hunt prey, now the Ye Family directly provided them with prey, though most of these were low-tier Tier One and Tier Two Demon Beasts.

But one had to know the Ye Family also provided quite a few Spirit Pills, and at times even supplied Demon Luring Pills.

Thus the number and Cultivation of the Black Crows had likewise increased quite a bit.

Within the Black Crow Forbidden Land, there were also Cultivators harvesting the ripened Black Crow Flame Ears.

The Ye Family had expanded this forbidden land, first because of the Black Crows, and second also because of these Black Crow Flame Ears.

The effect of Tier Three Black Crow Flame Ears was already extremely good, not to mention Tier Four Black Crow Flame Ears.

These years, Ye Jingcheng’s Red Flame Fox had also devoured no small amount of Black Crow Flame Ears.

It was all being nurtured by the clan.

And at this moment, Ye Jingyu was in the middle of harvesting Tier Four Black Crow Flame Ears.

Her Cultivation was now at Late Stage of Foundation Establishment; among the Ye Family Members, it was naturally not considered fast. One had to know she was now a hundred and ninety years old; not to mention the Qing Generation, even quite a few of the Yun Generation had surpassed her.

Her allotted lifespan was already less than over sixty years away; even after she had taken a Longevity Spiritual Peach and gained ten more years of life, she only had about seventy years left. Her hope of breaking through to Purple Mansion was still extremely slim.

Once she finished harvesting the Black Crow Wood Ears, she looked toward a certain cave within the forbidden land.

”Granny Jingyu, a Black Crow Wood Demon has broken through!” Just then, a voice came from inside the cave abode.

A girl of about twenty came out, excitement written all over her face.

Seeing this, Ye Jingyu couldn’t help but brighten with joy.

Here, she was not only cultivating and harvesting Black Crow Flame Ears; she was also researching the Ye Family’s Thought of Stealing Life, as well as Spirit Contracts with Wood Demons and growth-type Spirit Pills for Wood Demons.

According to the Ye Family’s initial plan, they naturally wanted to cultivate a growth Spirit Pill that, like the Spirit Nourishing Pill, would be effective on all Wood Demons.

Previously, the Ye Family had always used ingesting Wood Spirit Liquid.

But that caused considerable damage to Spirit Wood and could not be widely promoted. Now the Wood Spirit Liquid had been improved and was being used on the Black Crow Ancient Trees, and furthermore it was Tier Three Spirit Liquid.

The Ye Family referred to it as Tier Three Spirit Feeding Liquid.

These days, quite a few Wood Demons had taken it, and the effect was good. Although it did not greatly accelerate the growth of Spirit Medicine, compared to the original Wood Spirit Liquid it was already a breakthrough.

”Once the effect of this Spirit Feeding Liquid is fully displayed, the clan should give Granny Jingyu some Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, right?” The mischievous little girl beside her couldn’t help speaking up.

”Far from it. Only once we cultivate at least Tier Three High-Grade Spirit Feeding Liquid would that be about right. Besides, I no longer harbor expectations. It’s you who should work hard.” Ye Jingyu shook her head. Though the Ye Family had quite a bit of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid and many Purple Jade Vines, Spirit Medicine grew slowly and bore fruit slowly, and many people in the clan were waiting for Purple Mansion Jade Liquid.

Thus the competition was unusually fierce.

She was now close to two hundred, and had yet to reach Foundation Establishment Peak; naturally she no longer dared to hope. To be able to break through to Foundation Establishment, to witness the clan’s rise from a Foundation Establishment Clan to one about to become a Nascent Soul Clan, she was already very satisfied.

The only thing that made her sigh was that the bold promises she had made to Ye Jingcheng before still had not been fulfilled, nor had there been much progress.

And the girl before her was Ye Yunmei of the Yun Generation of the Ye Family, possessing Water and Wood Dual Spirit Roots, a born Spirit Plant Master. Now, at just over fifty years of age, she had already reached Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment and was also the junior Ye Jingyu and Ye Xinghan valued most.

”I just don’t know how Uncle Xinghan is doing!” Thinking of this, Ye Jingyu couldn’t help feeling worried. Right at that moment, a fluctuation of Spiritual Energy came from afar.

Ye Jingyu’s heart immediately lifted with joy.

”Uncle Xinghan is about to break through, let’s go!” Ye Jingyu first activated the Array of the forbidden land, then hurried over.

She only stopped beneath a Black Crow Ancient Tree.

Beside the Black Crow Ancient Tree stood a small loft; inside the loft was Ye Xinghan’s breakthrough site.

Apart from the two of them, quite a few Ye Family Members had come together.

All were praying for Ye Xinghan’s breakthrough.

Yet as time passed bit by bit, when the Spiritual Energy gathered and contracted, it suddenly shattered like an illusory bubble; in the next instant, Spiritual Light dispersed.

That powerful aura of Purple Mansion, however, did not spread out.

The younger-generation clansmen, seeing this, for a while didn’t know what to say. Only Ye Jingyu’s whole body shook.

If among the Jing Generation the one Ye Jingyu knew best was Ye Jingcheng, then among the Xing Generation the one she always admired most was Ye Xinghan.

It was Ye Xinghan who taught her Spirit Plant Skill, Ye Xinghan who taught her the Thought of Stealing Life, who fought for the chance for her to break through to Foundation Establishment and to gain a Communication Beast.

To Ye Jingyu, Ye Xinghan was like a father.

”Granny Jingyu...” Beside her, Ye Yunmei also didn’t know what to do.

She too saw that Ye Jingyu’s hands were trembling.

”Uncle Xinghan has merely failed in his breakthrough; let’s not disturb Uncle Xinghan.” Ye Jingyu forced herself to sound casual.

Then, with a wave of her hand, she sent everyone back to their tasks, while she stayed waiting at the door.

She looked at this small wooden loft, and her eyes faintly grew dazed. She seemed to see her own future: the same kind of small loft, failure, people gathered to watch, sighs...

After a long time, a calm voice came from inside the room.

”Jingyu, come in.”

Ye Jingyu nodded and walked in. Once inside the loft, she saw simple furnishings and a small Spirit Gathering Array. Ye Xinghan was seated in meditation on the Cold Jade Bed.
