Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1059 - 739: Blood Jade Eel

On Cyan Willow Mountain, the current state is one of desolate ruin, with broken walls and remnants painting a grim picture, all pavilions and kiosks utterly crushed.

Even the expanse of Spirit Lake is stained a dark red.

It is abundantly clear that the battle that transpired on that day was of extreme ferocity!

Even now, under the warm sun, a considerable number of demon beasts still linger upon Cyan Willow Mountain.

The majority of these are Tier One Demon Beasts, possessing limited intelligence, and they had taken up residence on Cyan Willow Mountain because it still harbored a spirit vein. However, due to excessive extraction, it has now degraded to a Tier Two Lower Grade Spiritual Vein.

Nevertheless, it remains a rare and coveted dwelling place.

And at this precise moment, spiritual light begins to converge around Cyan Willow Mountain.

Shortly thereafter, an array descends.

With the array's activation, numerous demon beasts on the mountain sense its presence and surge towards the mountain's base.

"Scrutinize these demon beasts thoroughly; set aside those suitable for taming and breeding; there's no immediate need to annihilate them all!" Ye Jingyun commanded.

Currently, he is master of the array, and although Lingyun Peak lacks a Tier Two Array Master, the Ye Family possesses a sufficient number of array discs.

Their deployment now is quite effective, particularly against Tier One Demon Beasts.

Ye Jingli and Ye Xingqun took a brief look, noting that they were all Tier One demon beasts, and their interest immediately waned.

Furthermore, they consisted only of Snake Python Spirit Insects and common creatures such as green wolves, tigers, and leopards.

Consequently, the two bypassed these beasts, leaving them for the other Qi Cultivation members of the Ye Family to handle, thereby allowing them to accumulate more spirit stones.

They proceeded directly towards Cyan Willow Lake and the Spirit Medicine Garden situated on Cyan Willow Mountain.

This location was deemed the most probable site for uncovering lingering treasures on Cyan Willow Mountain.

However, after a cursory inspection of the Spirit Medicine Garden, the two became notably disappointed, observing the scarcity of spiritual soil and, particularly, spirit medicines, which clearly indicated that the Jin Family had decisively removed everything before their departure.

The pair then directed their flight towards Cyan Willow Lake.

Presently, Cyan Willow Lake exhibits a dark red hue, emanating a pungent odor of blood.

Yet, few corpses are visible; it remains uncertain whether they were consumed by the Demon Kings and Great Demons during the beast tide or claimed by subsequent cultivators who dared to venture here.

"Uncle Xingqun, hold on, there's something at the lake's bottom!" At this juncture, Ye Jingli suddenly spoke.

Ye Jingli, being an artifact refiner and having cultivated the Celestial Soul Technique, possesses a divine sense somewhat more potent than Ye Xingqun's.

At this moment, he detected the presence of numerous blood-red spirit lines at the lake's floor.

These spirit lines are incredibly subtle, making them difficult to discern without careful scrutiny.

"They appear to be juvenile Blood Jade Eels!" Ye Jingli exclaimed spontaneously.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xingqun also directed his divine sense towards the location, and was soon equally surprised.

These Blood Jade Eels, once mature, can attain the Late Stage of Tier Two, making them even more valuable than Black Mushroom Fish.

Moreover, Blood Jade Eels are highly effective at nourishing a cultivator’s blood qi, and possess the remarkable ability to restore lost lifespan, significantly aiding breakthroughs for body cultivators.

They are exceedingly rare finds within the Cultivation Realm.

It was unexpected to encounter them within Cyan Jade Lake.

"There are as many as thirty-eight, and they are currently diminutive, resembling earthworms. They have likely hatched recently, perhaps from prior spirit eel eggs!" Ye Xingqun remarked with excitement.

The two refrained from employing any magic.

Instead, they prepared to utilize an array to capture them.

These Blood Jade Eels are not only adept at Water Escape but also possess Earth Escape abilities.

"Uncle Xingqun, it remains uncertain whether the two adult Blood Jade Eels have departed!"

"Furthermore, I suspect these juvenile Blood Jade Eels might be mutated, otherwise, they would not have followed the beast tide to Cyan Jade Lake!" Ye Jingli added his thoughts.

They certainly did not believe these creatures were intentionally left behind by the Jin Family.

Considering that Tier Two Blood Jade Eels are valued at over a thousand spirit stones.

Even if a mere quarter of a Blood Jade Eel's Spiritual Flesh were transformed into Spiritual Cuisine, countless cultivators would eagerly seek it.

This method of replenishing blood qi not only enhances cultivation but also rectifies deficiencies and restores waning lifespan.

If the Jin Family possessed these Blood Jade Eels, they would undoubtedly be loath to relinquish them.

"First, let us establish the array, then proceed to scatter blood bait to entice the Blood Jade Eels closer!" Ye Xingqun concurred with a nod.

The two proceeded to erect concealment and isolation arrays.

This was to guarantee that the surrounding environment would not interfere with Cyan Jade Lake.

Once the arrays were in place, Ye Jingli assumed a vigilant watch, while Ye Xingqun departed to inform Ye Jingyun and the others.

Upon the arrival of the clan members near Cyan Jade Lake, everyone commenced the concealment of their auras and began pouring blood bait into the spirit lake.

The small Blood Jade Eels, as expected, started to glide closer.

They eagerly consumed the blood meat, appearing quite agitated with the meal.

Furthermore, these Blood Jade Eels exhibited remarkable liveliness and an inherent fierceness.

As the blood bait dwindled, they would even turn on each other in contention.

Despite their diminutive size, their presence stirred significant commotion in the water.

The cultivators from the Ye Family maintained a cautious silence, refraining from any extraneous sounds.

Instead, they designated a clan member at the Qi Cultivation early stage to replenish the bait every five hours.

Consequently, after five days passed, weariness was evident on the faces of the Ye Family members who had maintained their vigil without respite.

Yet, only a little over thirty juvenile Blood Jade Eels remained, with no indication of the two adult specimens.

"Uncle Xingqun, Brother, why don't you two remain here on guard while Brother Liu and I proceed to Lingyun Peak!" Following the announcement from Cyan Jade Pass that the beast tide had concluded, the Ye Family commenced area restoration the subsequent day.

Concurrently, Taiyi Sect issued a directive for the Ye Family to re-establish order within Taihang Commandery by the end of the month at the absolute latest.

This objective served a dual purpose: firstly, it aimed to preserve more mortal lives, and secondly, to minimize overall losses to the greatest extent possible.

However, just as Ye Jingyun was preparing to depart, Ye Jingli abruptly signaled for silence.

The Ye Family cultivators continued their routine of pouring the blood bait, as they had been.

An ample supply of blood bait was available to the Ye Family in the aftermath of the beast tide.

At this very instant, the spiritual lake began to churn with movement.

In the following moment, two Blood Jade Eels, darting like spectral serpents, propelled themselves from the depths of the lake.

These two flashes of red light completely absorbed the blood qi emanating from the blood bait!

"Late Stage Tier Two Blood Jade Eels, and they appear to be mutated, possessing a greater girth than anticipated and exceptionally prominent barbels!" Ye Xingqun could not suppress his excitement.

Blood Jade Eels are comparable to Black Mushroom Fish, a delicacy prized for its spiritual properties.

Their capture would undoubtedly serve to further solidify the Ye Family's standing.

Moreover, this was a more suitable endeavor compared to acquiring spirit ores from the Desert Sea, which necessitated clandestine dealings by the Ye Family to evade detection by the Cyan River Sect.

These Blood Jade Eels, however, along with Black Mushroom Fish, could openly enhance the Ye Family's reputation and even elevate their renown within the Taihang Market.

For cultivators who customarily practiced the Essence Blood Secret Technique, this spiritual cuisine derived from the Blood Jade Eel was undeniably the most coveted dish.

"Jing Yong, your Late Stage Tier Two Silver Moon Python will form the main assault force; Jing Li and Jing Yun's Red Flame Python and Purple Fire Celestial Ox are not particularly suited for this task!"

"We will provide support by deploying the arrays!" Ye Xingqun added his counsel.

Due to the pressing time constraints, employing spirit poison was not feasible, leaving them with no recourse but to attempt a forceful capture at this juncture.

Securing two Blood Jade Eels alive would be the ideal outcome; failing that, they would have to be regretfully dispatched.

The ultimate objective was the successful nurturing of the juvenile Blood Jade Eels.

"Rest assured, my Silver Moon Python has already reached the Tier Two Peak!" Ye Jingyong declared confidently.

In recent years, his constant presence at the market had yielded substantial rewards from the Ye Family, who spared no expense in investing in his spirit beast. Coupled with the Silver Moon Python's innate high talent,

it had progressed at a remarkable pace.

Ye Jingyong himself was also at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.

"Excellent! Await my signal!" Ye Xingqun commanded.

Then, with a swift motion of his hand, capitalizing on the moment the Blood Jade Eels were engrossed in consuming the blood bait,

countless array banners began to be unfurled and woven together.

The array deployed on this occasion was the Water-Splitting and Mountain-Separating Array.

This formation was designed to impede spirit beasts and cultivators proficient in Water Escape techniques.

Following Ye Xingqun's successful placement of this counter-array, Ye Jingyun initiated the deployment of his own formation.

His chosen array was a straightforward containment formation, specifically a Tier Two Heaven-Trapping Array, intended to ensnare all the juvenile Blood Jade Eels as well!
