Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1007 - 701: Beast Valley Opens Wide, Chi Jin Tea

Under the bright sun at Celestial Shadow Peak, the mountain buzzed with the lively sounds of insects and birds, punctuated by the occasional roars of beasts.

It was clear that the Ye Family had commenced the development of Spirit Beast Valleys across both Celestial Shadow Peak and Earth Shadow Peak.

Spirit beasts, much like cultivators, flourish in environments rich with spiritual energy, a condition particularly beneficial for those possessing advanced breathing techniques or exceptional bloodlines.

Currently, the Ye Family's primary focus was on nurturing the spirit beasts belonging to the four Demon Kings.

With these Demon Kings housing the largest populations of spirit beasts, the acquisition of advancement pills was consequently more accessible.

For the Ye Family at this juncture, Tier Two Spirit Beasts were no longer sufficient for the needs of their talented clan members. The family's future ambitions, therefore, lay in attempting and achieving advancements towards Tier Three Advancement Pills.

However, producing Tier Three Advancement Pills necessitated the vital essence blood of specific spirit beasts.

Undeniably, the territories under the dominion of the four Demon Kings offered a distinct advantage in this crucial aspect.

Furthermore, the creation of these Beast Valleys would ensure future convenience for Ye Family clan members seeking to contract suitable spirit beasts.

This strategic decision was the reason the Ye Family had not yet recalled the remaining Demon Kings to defend the Taihang Mountain Range.

At this very moment, Ye Jingcheng emerged languidly from his cave dwelling, his Divine Sense effortlessly encompassing the entirety of the Beast Valley.

The establishment of the four distinct Spirit Beast Valleys had proceeded with remarkable efficiency. As the spiritual veins of Celestial Shadow Peak continued their progression towards a Tier Five Spiritual Vein, the resident spirit beasts showed an eager inclination to remain on Celestial Shadow Peak and Earth Conceal Peak.

The Ye family not only provided a conducive environment but also supplied spirit beast meat and spirit pills. Looking ahead, the Ye Family even planned to assign dedicated cultivators to guide potent demon beasts in foraging and patrol duties.

Beyond these four core Beast Valleys, the Ye Family had also established specialized valleys on other Tier Three Spiritual Vein peaks. These included Water Attribute Demon Beast Valleys, Spirit Insect Valleys, and breeding grounds for economically valuable spirit beasts such as Mountain-devouring Rats and Forest Pigs.

Within the Water Attribute Demon Beast Valley, the primary focus was on nurturing spirit beasts with distinguished bloodlines, namely Silver Moon Pythons, Red Moon Pythons, and Water Spike Turtles.

Concurrently, a new beast valley was in the process of development, slated to concentrate on the future cultivation of Moon Spirit Pearls and Black Mushroom Fish.

Presently, within the expanse of the Desert Sea, the Ye Family's operations stood in stark contrast to the typically reserved conduct observed within the Yan Kingdom.

Here, there were no intrusive Divine Sense scans from Nascent Soul experts, nor any clandestine incursions by rival forces for poaching.

The Ye Family was at liberty to fully realize its potential as a premier Spirit Beast Clan.

The development of Beast Valleys, the nurturing and breeding of spirit beasts, the guided mutation of spirit insect populations, the advancement of beast communication cultivation, and the vigorous cultivation of Spirit Root clan members represented the Ye Family's most direct and ambitious avenues for growth.

Naturally, Ye Jingcheng was also anticipating the return of Ye Xuecang.

After all, Ye Xuecang was carrying a Tier Four Listening Spirit Stone.

This Listening Spirit Stone had originally belonged to the Mountain Spirit of the Yun Family. However, after the Mountain Spirit was subdued by the Yun Family, its spiritual essence was eradicated by a spirit treasure, leaving behind only the stone itself.

Nevertheless, when integrated as a foundational component within a supporting array, it retained the capability to monitor a vast area.

Once the Listening Spirit Stone was positioned atop Celestial Shadow Peak and Earth Shadow Peak, the security of the Ye Family would be rendered truly impenetrable.

"Brother Cheng, please have some tea!" Chu Yanqing's melodious voice chimed from behind him.

"Certainly!" Ye Jingcheng accepted the cup of spirit tea and drank it down in a single gulp. Perhaps due to the previous night's activities, he was experiencing a rare and genuine thirst.

As he accepted the tea, Ye Jingcheng's gaze lingered on Chu Yanqing for a moment, causing her to immediately blush.

"Brother Cheng, I haven’t practiced any body cultivation techniques..."

"You can study this Barbaric Tyrant Body Secret Manual whenever you find the time. For cultivators like us, possessing a more robust physique is always advantageous!"

Witnessing this, Ye Jingcheng felt a pang of embarrassment but nonetheless produced a jade talisman.

For Chu Yanqing, whose very essence was that of a spirit body, achieving the Nascent Soul stage was not an insurmountable obstacle, especially with his support and the aid of the Peach Wood Demon. Consequently, engaging in body refinement would not only augment her overall strength but also pose no significant impediment to her cultivation timeline.

This eased Ye Jingcheng's mind considerably.

"Alright, I will cultivate while refining artifacts!" Chu Yanqing agreed with a nod.

She had been quite dedicated during this time, poring over numerous excellent artifact refining techniques and legacies passed down by the Zhang Family.

Currently, within the Ye Family, only Ye Haicheng and Chu Yanqing held the rank of Tier Three Refiners.

The Ye Family certainly would not hold back in supporting Chu Yanqing in this specialization.

With Chu Yanqing now possessing the jade talisman, Ye Jingcheng once again raised his tea cup, commenting on the exquisite spirit tea.

"I never imagined this Desert Sea Oasis could yield Tier Three Chi Jin Tea; after sipping it, a lingering fragrance and a delightful aftertaste remain!" Ye Jingcheng's cup of spirit tea was, in fact, from the Celestial Phoenix Oasis, the sole source of this unique Tier Three tea.

Its brew not only possessed a distinct, mellow flavor but also served to invigorate the mind and sharpen the eyes.

Remarkably, it even offered a degree of assistance to the Star Illusion Eye.

The Ye Family had attempted to cultivate new tea plants from cuttings of this revered tree, but all endeavors invariably met with failure.

The resultant plants, at best, only reached Tier Two High-grade, rendering this spirit tea exceedingly precious within the Ye Family, and it was presently reserved annually only for the Purple Mansion and Golden Core cultivators of the Ye Family.

"Perhaps the unfavorable desert conditions are not conducive to the tea tree's growth!" Chu Yanqing offered with a gentle smile, pouring herself a cup to share his enjoyment.

Though not bathed in the morning sun, at that moment, gazing out at the vast expanse of the Celestial Phoenix Oasis and the faint sand dust swirling in the distance.

A mutual understanding passed between them with a shared glance.

Sometimes, true beauty is found in the companions sharing our journey.

After another appreciative look at the spirit tea, Ye Jingcheng returned to the stone chamber within his cave dwelling.

Despite his familiarity with residing in a courtyard atop Lingyun Peak, this stone chamber was far from ordinary; beyond its generous dimensions, the spiritual energy contained within was exceptionally potent.

This place had previously served as a cultivation site for several True Masters of the Zhang Family, and an array had been established above to channel spiritual energy directly from the spiritual vein into this location.

Furthermore, the stone chamber housed an internal earth fire, which activated the alchemy and artifact refining rooms, proving immensely convenient for both Ye Jingcheng and Chu Yanqing.

When the Ye Family discovered this site, a Tier Three Top-Grade Artifact Refining Furnace was also found within, which had, of course, become Chu Yanqing's possession.

After Ye Jingcheng meticulously arranged the array, he then brought out the Red Flame Fox.

At this moment, the Red Flame Fox had once again shrunk to its most diminutive form.

Sensing Ye Jingcheng's proximity, it emitted an eager cry, and as Ye Jingcheng extended his hand, it affectionately licked his palm with its crimson tongue.

Ye Jingcheng gazed into the golden irises of the Red Flame Fox, a wave of heartache washing over him.

Although the Treasure Book had been employed to fully heal it in the preceding days, faint bloodstains still marred the Red Flame Fox's eyes. The divine technique, which harnessed the Purple Fire Heart Flame to unleash the Cyan Yang Flame, was indeed overwhelmingly potent, carrying substantial repercussions.

Nevertheless, Ye Jingcheng deemed this outcome acceptable. After all, the sudden manifestation of the Five-Colored Fire would have been catastrophic without any confinement, even if Ye Jingcheng felt he lacked the means to counter it.

Of course, reflecting on this, Ye Jingcheng harbored a degree of dissatisfaction with the performance of those Demon Kings.

Unlike the spirit beasts he personally nurtured, who would readily perform ten tasks when asked to do ten.

Those Demon Kings, even bound by a soul contract, could at most accomplish nine when Ye Jingcheng instructed them to perform ten.

However, this was an inevitable consequence.

After all, the Demon Kings had been compelled to grant him the soul contracts.

"Lii Lii!" The Red Flame Fox, now seemingly eager to demonstrate its abilities, evidently understood that Ye Jingcheng intended to practice alchemy, and it couldn't wait to showcase its prowess.

This was, after all, its inaugural alchemy practice session subsequent to its advancement to Tier Four.

Ye Jingcheng did not immediately produce the Purple Jade Fruit but commenced directly with the refinement of the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid.

Having abstained from alchemy for some time, he harbored concerns about losing his touch and squandering a Purple Jade Fruit.

The spirit medicines he procured were common ingredients such as White Ginseng and Vermilion Fruit, intended for practicing with the Spirit Cultivation Pill.

The Tier Two Spirit Cultivation Pill occupied a mid-range standing, perfectly suiting the palates of his spirit beasts.

Even the Red Flame Fox, while currently favoring the Spirit Cultivation Pill, showed no interest in Tier Two Fire Attribute Spirit Pills.

"I know your fire technique has progressed significantly, but for alchemy, just use the Red Fire!" The Red Flame Fox still wanted to show off its Five-Colored Flames, but Ye Jingcheng shook his head and gently patted the Red Flame Fox’s head, telling it to behave.

Immediately, the crimson flame rose, causing the Green-Red Ox Furnace to emit a series of spirit shadows, completing the Yun Furnace in one go.

An hour later, a furnace of Spirit Cultivation Pills was revealed, filled with twelve full pills, among which seven had pill patterns.

That meant more than half.

This represented that his alchemy skill had improved greatly.

This filled Ye Jingcheng with incomparable joy, as the advancement of alchemy skill meant that with two Purple Jade Fruits, more Purple Mansion Jade Liquid could be refined.

Furthermore, he now had many Tier Four Spiritual Medicines and could try refining Tier Four Spirit Pills.

Of course, before that, he still needed to refine more Purple Mansion Jade Liquid and Water Attribute Spirit Pills, as Ye Xuefan was currently in the Late Stage of Purple Mansion. With more spirit pills, he could break through to the Purple Mansion Peak and use the Double-headed Turtle Beast to attempt a breakthrough to the Golden Core.

After completing the Spirit Cultivation Pills, Ye Jingcheng continued refining many Jade Soul Pills and Purple Soul Pills, which are rare spirit pills in the Ye Family.

Only on the third day of alchemy did Ye Jingcheng start refining the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid.

This wasn’t his first time refining it, but considering it his peak period, he was somewhat expectant.

To ensure success, he even reviewed his previous experiences of refining the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid and reflected on it before proceeding with the refining.

By now, the Yun Furnace could be completed instantly, and the melted medicine was much faster. This wasn’t Ye Jingcheng being careless; rather, with the cooperation of the Red Flame Fox, his control over the heat had improved tremendously.

Everything was just right, not even needing the Six-Part Alchemy Method.

This would actually increase the failure rate of alchemy, but Ye Jingcheng’s strong control at the moment eliminated any worries.

Everything proceeded smoothly, and a day passed.

The Green-Red Ox Furnace was filled with radiant glow, and Ye Jingcheng’s eyes were filled with joy.

Judging by the current state of completion, there might be at least three portions of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, possibly even four.

Ye Jingcheng also continued to use the Spiritual Enhancement Secret Technique.

"Four portions!" As Ye Jingcheng cast the final spirit technique, the pill furnace cover flew up, revealing the fully filled Purple Mansion Jade Liquid inside.

Ye Jingcheng let out a long breath; the Ye Family’s Purple Jade Vine was limited, and the Purple Jade Vine in his Grotto Heaven hadn’t yet shown signs of fruiting.

But now with the first fruit producing four portions, the pressure was greatly reduced.

After all, with the current potential breakthrough candidates in the Ye Family, there were six to seven people at most.

He now had one more Purple Jade Fruit, and even if only two portions of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid were refined from the remaining fruit, it would be enough to handle the current situation.

"Lii Lii!" The Red Flame Fox proudly swung its four tails. Seeing Ye Jingcheng happy, it was evidently happy too.

With the Tier Three Fire Attribute Spirit Pill falling into its mouth, it couldn’t help crouching slightly.

Ye Jingcheng was about to infuse it with Treasure Light to prepare for the next alchemy.

But suddenly felt the spiritual energy surged rapidly.

This was clearly the trend of the spiritual vein breaking through to Tier Five!
