Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1065 - 745: Earth Profound Lotus

Within the grand hall of Shuize Mountain, Ye Jingcheng, alongside Ye Xuefan and others, made their entrance.

The entire hall was constructed upon a central Spirit Vein, with surrounding caves formerly serving as residences for the Jia Family's top cultivators.

Cultivating in such an environment, even Ye Jingcheng felt his Water Phase Spiritual Power experiencing a continuous surge, surpassing what he might achieve elsewhere.

The pure Spiritual Energy emanating from this Spirit Vein offers a profound advantage to those whose cultivation specializes in Water Techniques.

It is worth noting that the Ye Family boasts a considerable number of cultivators proficient in Water Techniques, such as Ye Haisheng and Ye Haifei from the Sea Generation. Their potential breakthroughs would undoubtedly be accelerated within this Water Attribute Spiritual Vein.

However, Ye Jingcheng recognized the need to temper his own reliance on external spiritual sources.

"Jingcheng, here are the Spirit Medicines and Spirit Materials we've gathered; take a look and see if anything suits your needs!" Ye Xuefan announced, presenting two Storage Bags.

These Storage Bags were unowned, allowing free access for Divine Sense.

Upon initial inspection, Ye Jingcheng noted the first Storage Bag was replete with the Spirit Materials he required for an Advanced Spirit Pill. It was evident Ye Xuefan had meticulously recalled his needs and specifically curated these items for him.

The first item that caught his eye was a piece of Earth Profound Lotus. The rigorous environmental conditions necessary for this Profound Lotus's birth made it exceptionally rare and valuable among Earth Attribute Spiritual Materials.

Its discovery within the Jia Clan's treasury was truly unexpected.

Beyond the Earth Profound Lotus, a multitude of other Spirit Medicines were present, encompassing both primary and secondary components, totaling over thirty distinct types.

Four of the five essential Spirit Materials for Advancement Pills were accounted for, a testament to the Jia Family's considerable wealth.

After carefully storing these Spirit Medicines, Ye Jingcheng's gaze sparkled with anticipation.

Considering the materials previously acquired from the Zhang Family, he observed that for his five distinct Advanced Spirit Pills, only one primary ingredient remained elusive: the Profound Sun Spirit Water, crucial for the Golden Scale Pill.

The Yellow Dragon Ganoderma and Earth Profound Lotus were already fully gathered.

For the Jade Qilin Pill, two main ingredients were secured, but the Tier Four Thousand-Year Daffodil Bone and the Two-Thousand-Year Three Elements Grass were still needed.

Similarly, for the Red Flame Pill, the Three-Flame Sunflower and Five-Colored Red Fruit were obtained, leaving other components missing.

The ingredients for the Five-Colored Cloud Deer and Golden Falcon were each incomplete.

Furthermore, the primary components for the Tier Four Peach Wood Block or Stone Spirit Grotto Heaven Stone Block, and the Dream-Devouring Worm's Worm Block, had yet to be collected.

Despite these remaining gaps, one shouldn't underestimate the progress. Ye Jingcheng's initial projections suggested that even after reaching the Golden Core stage, gathering a single needed ingredient could take him decades.

The swift accumulation of these resources was solely attributable to the successful raids on the Zhang and Jia Families’ Treasure Vaults.

The Ye Family's vast collection of Spirit Medicines was also promptly made available to Ye Jingcheng.

In fact, the entire clan was actively engaged in gathering information and sourcing treasures to fulfill Ye Jingcheng's specific requests.

The second Storage Bag contained equally remarkable Spirit Medicines, though not directly aligned with Ye Jingcheng's current Advanced Pill Formulas, they were nonetheless Thousand-Year Elixirs.

Their quality was consistently at least Tier Three Middle Grade or higher.

"Fourth Uncle, I will accept these Spirit Medicines for the time being!" Ye Jingcheng stated, selecting those he could immediately utilize for pill refinement.

Items deemed less useful were politely returned.

His plan was to refine these Spirit Medicines into various Tier Three or Tier Four Spirit Pills, a move that would ultimately benefit the entire Ye Family, making his acceptance without reservation quite natural.

He then produced a Jade Box.

The sight of the Jade Box immediately piqued Ye Xuefan's curiosity.

This particular Jade Box was sealed with an impressive four Spirit Talismans, exuding an aura of significant importance.

Upon closer examination, the Spirit Jade composing the box was revealed to be of Tier Three High-Grade quality.

"What is this...?" Ye Xuefan's breathing quickened perceptibly.

"Fourth Uncle, your breakthrough is imminent. Once your Array formation reaches Great Success, you will be ready. Keeping this with me would be a waste, and you made a substantial contribution to the Ye Family's mission this time!" Ye Jingcheng explained with a smile.

Witnessing Ye Xuefan's rare display of unbridled joy, Ye Jingcheng found it quite amusing.

After all, these esteemed family elders typically maintained an extraordinary level of composure, unfazed even by catastrophic events.

Yet, the prospect of the Gold Condensing Pill had clearly stirred a wave of excitement within them.

Ye Jingcheng was fully aware of how hard the Ye Family had strived for a single Gold Condensing Fruit. They were resolved to risk everything for it, even suspecting it might be a trap set by the Taiyi Sect. Their previous acquisition had been a hard-fought victory, so the appearance of a Gold Condensing Pill understandably filled Ye Xuefan with astonishment and joy.

"Jingcheng, I won't belabor the point. In the future, I will definitely construct an Array for Yanqing that can withstand a High-Grade Thunder Tribulation!" Ye Xuefan declared. This statement also served as an implicit promise to Ye Jingcheng that the next Gold Condensing Fruit, once ripe, would be exclusively for Chu Yanqing. Even if Ye Haicheng managed to reach the Late Stage of Purple Mansion first, the fruit would still be hers.

After exchanging a few more words with Ye Jingcheng, Ye Xuefan began directing the family members to establish themselves within the Shuize World. By this point, they had deciphered how the Jia Family had infiltrated without detection. The Jia Family, too, employed Wood Demons, but unlike the Peach Wood, theirs could not bypass an Array. Instead, they utilized over ten Thorny Willow Wood Demons to detect the presence of avatars and subsequently enter the Shuize Mini World. These Thorny Willow Wood Demons left behind some branches within this Mini World, serving as beacons the Jia Family could track, thereby bypassing the Natural Concealment Array at the entrance and gaining access.

The reason the Jia Family's Thorny Willow Wood Demons were previously exposed stemmed from a Jia Family cultivator attempting to enter into a contract with a Wood Demon and heading to the Eastern Domain Yan Kingdom for a task. Unexpectedly, the Blood Contract failed, enabling the Thorny Willow Wood Demon to break free. It was this escapee that the Ye Family subsequently discovered by chance. Ye Jingcheng examined the Jia Family's Blood Contract method and noted its similarities to the Ye Family's previous contracts, albeit with certain enhancements. He surmised it would likely be effective on Wood Demons, though decidedly less reliable than the Ye Family's Blood Contract Method utilizing the Wood Heart.

The only drawback, in Ye Jingcheng's view, was that these Thorny Willow Wood Demons were all mid-tier Rank Two, with none reaching Rank Three, and their intelligence was quite limited. Had they possessed higher capabilities, they could have been immensely valuable. Not long after Ye Xuefan departed, Chu Yanqing also entered the Shuize Mini World. Chu Yanqing presented several Storage Bags with a raised hand.

"Brother Cheng."

"You should keep these!" Ye Jingcheng replied with a smile, gracefully refusing. These Storage Bags had been acquired by Chu Yanqing himself, and he believed they should rightly remain with him.

"Even if you don't require them, you could use them to offer further support to Yun Xi. Moreover, Qingwen is currently in the Celestial Departure Grassland. If feasible, provide them with additional resources. Their talents are quite promising, and their future achievements will undoubtedly be significant!" Ye Jingcheng advised. The Chu Family, from which Chu Yanqing hailed, had been nearly annihilated by the Jin Family, leaving only a handful of relatives: his aunt residing with the Xun Family and Chu Yanliu, who had married Ye Jingyong. However, as Chu Yanliu had not succeeded in breaking through to Foundation Establishment, her remaining lifespan was limited. Consequently, Chu Yanqing's focus had shifted towards his few remaining kin, specifically Ye Yunxi and Ye Qingwen, the descendants of Chu Yanliu. While Ye Jingcheng consistently offered support, receiving assistance directly from Chu Yanqing offered a greater sense of peace of mind.

"Understood, Brother Cheng!" Chu Yanqing responded with a smile, his eyes alight with evident happiness. "Brother Cheng, from this point forward, I will not be leaving this Shuize Mini World. I intend to remain here with Feng'Er and Nian'Er!" Chu Yanqing stated. He then added, "Brother Cheng, but do remember to return to the Celestial Phoenix Oasis in eight years!"

"Certainly!" Ye Jingcheng readily agreed, making no attempt to refuse. After all, in eight years' time, it would be the opportune moment for the two young ones to undergo Spirit Root testing. Despite the Ye Family possessing the Beast Communication Pattern, Spirit Roots held immense importance. For the present, his plan involved exploring the other three forbidden areas before preparing to journey to the Celestial Departure Grassland. Bringing Chu Yanqing and the others along for the current expedition would indeed be impractical. After exchanging a few parting words with Chu Yanqing, Ye Jingcheng accompanied him on a leisurely stroll around the entirety of the Shuize World. They observed the sunrise casting its glow upon the expansive lake and watched the wisps of smoke curling lazily from the humble villages nestled within the mountains and fields.

Following a few tranquil days, Ye Jingcheng departed from the Mini World, setting his course toward the Black Crow Forbidden Land...

...In the East Sea, within the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain. Celestial Horse Pass. Dazzling arrays of dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators materialized before the pass simultaneously.
