Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1093 - 771: Blue Jade Flood Dragon Hatching

Within the grand hall of Lingyun Peak, the continuous echoes of beastly roars could be heard.

However, these particular howls seemed to possess a distinctly youthful quality.

Ye Jing Hu set his eyes upon the young cub of the Luoyun Tiger presented before him.

The more he observed it, the more it captured his fondness. The Luoyun Tiger was renowned not merely for its hide adorned with intricate spirit patterns, but also for being a rare spirit beast in the Cultivation Realm, possessing the dual attributes of wind and thunder.

Despite this Luoyun Tiger currently being only at the peak of Tier One, destined to reach only the mid-stage of Third Tier when fully grown, he harbored a strong desire to discover a suitable pill formula. Such a formula, he hoped, would unlock and amplify the tiger’s latent wind and thunder dual attributes.

Ye Jing Hu extended his hand, revealing several Spirit Pills nestled in his palm.

The Luoyun Tiger immediately cast a wary gaze. Having been in the possession of the Wei Family for a considerable period, it had previously been fed only common Tier One Lower Spirit Pills. In stark contrast, the Spirit Pills offered by Ye Jing Hu were visibly brimming with potent spiritual energy.

Combined with its gnawing hunger, the tiger's defiant howl softened into a whimpering sound. It retracted its nascent, not-yet-sharp baby teeth, its earthy brown eyes now radiating an intense longing.

Nonetheless, it hesitated to approach, prompting Ye Jing Hu to promptly place a few Spirit Pills directly on the ground.

He then stepped back several paces. As anticipated, the Luoyun Tiger cautiously trotted forward.

After a brief sniff, it selected one of the pills and promptly swallowed it.

"You little tiger, you certainly have discerning taste, picking out my Eleventh Brother’s refined Spirit Cultivation Pills!" Ye Jing Hu chuckled heartily. While the Luoyun Tiger busied itself with consuming the Spirit Pills, he advanced, gently placing his hand upon the young tiger’s forehead.

His fingers traced the 'king' character etched into its spirit pattern, a broad grin spreading across his face.

The more he looked at the Luoyun Tiger, the greater his affection grew, far surpassing his feelings for the Thunder Roc.

Initially, the Luoyun Tiger tensed its body, emitting low growls, but upon sensing no harm from Ye Jing Hu, it eventually relaxed, resuming its consumption of the Spirit Cultivation Pills.

The Ye Family’s Spirit Cultivation Pills were by no means inexpensive, each costing several spirit stones. If they were to be traded on the open market, their value could easily reach fifty to sixty spirit stones.

This was understandable, considering they were classified as upper-grade Tier One Spirit Pills.

"Form a blood contract with me, and you can feast on these Spirit Pills freely from now on!" Ye Jing Hu declared.

As he spoke, he initiated the process of forging the Blood Contract.

The Ye Family’s Spirit Cultivation Pills possessed the dual benefit of not only enhancing the growth of spirit beasts but also of pacifying their temperaments.

Consequently, the Luoyun Tiger, being merely a cub, offered little resistance, and the Blood Contract was soon successfully established.

"Congratulations to Jing Hu on acquiring yet another spirit beast!" Ye Jingyun emerged from the side, his voice carrying a congratulatory tone.

Accompanying Ye Jingyun were Ye Jingli and Ye Xingqun, who had been diligently occupied with the day's Purple Mansion ceremony preparations.

"My thanks to Brother Liu and Brother Jiu for making this possible!" Ye Jing Hu responded with a hearty laugh.

Then, as if recalling an important matter, he inquired further:

"What is the current status regarding Wei Dazhong of the Wei Family?"

"I have already accepted the Wei Family’s marriage proposal; they will be sending over an individual with Three Spirit Roots. Jing Hu, are you interested?" Ye Jingyun produced a Jade Talisman, offering it for Ye Jing Hu's inspection.

However, Ye Jing Hu promptly shook his head in negation.

"The Wei Family will not suffice. Furthermore, there is also the daughter of the Kong Family, who also possesses Three Spirit Roots and is renowned for her exceptional beauty..." Ye Jingyun added with a smile.

"Brother Liu, Brother Jiu, I have no inclination towards arranged matches," Ye Jing Hu stated, embracing the Luoyun Tiger and waving his hands dismissively.

Shortly thereafter, Ye Jingyu returned from a distant location.

Upon his arrival, Ye Jingyun, Ye Jingli, and the others immediately ceased their jovial banter.

"Fourth Brother, how did the matters proceed?" Ye Jing Hu inquired, quickly shifting the conversation's focus.

"All secure. With the Longevity Spiritual Peach secured, they would not dare to engage in any deception!" Ye Jingyu replied confidently.

He then proceeded to extract a Jade Bottle.

Within this bottle resided a single drop of essence blood from the Bone Flame Demon Fox.

"Master Mo Dao delivered this essence blood in advance!" Ye Jingyu exclaimed.

"It appears that True Monarch Tian Dao's remaining lifespan is indeed facing a critical juncture!"

As he uttered these words, Ye Jingyu's gaze drifted towards the direction of the Qinghe Sect. The dire beast tide that had plagued the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain had finally subsided three years prior.

Celestial Horse Pass had inexplicably fallen.

Moreover, the Celestial Water Sect and the Haoyang Daoist Temple had each suffered the loss of a Nascent Soul cultivator. To compound matters, True Monarch Beihai of the Qinghe Sect had sustained grievous injuries.

However, if news regarding True Monarch Tian Dao's dwindling lifespan were to become public knowledge, the Qinghe Sect might still entertain malicious intentions.

Without the presence of a Teleportation Array, the Ye Family found itself in a severely disadvantageous position, potentially even risking a breach of their Heavenly Dao Oath.

"Let us fervently hope for a timely resolution!" Ye Jingyu could not help but vocalize his hope.

He then turned his attention towards Ye Jingyun:

"Jing Yun, let the clan decide on marital matters, but maintain reason. As for taking concubines, this must be forbidden. Wanting to marry multiple wives? That can be done freely in the Desert Sea later, but not here in the Eastern Domain!"

Right now, the Ye Family was advocating a procreation policy, and the Wei Family had generously offered over a dozen female cultivators for the Ye Family's selection. Ye Jingyu genuinely feared a Ye Family member might recklessly accept them all.

Although the Ye Family possessed Blood Nurturing Pills, this wasn't the most favorable outcome.

Marrying multiple wives would simplify infiltration and complicate surveillance, posing a risk to the Ye Family's confidential information.

"Jing Li, take the time to refine more Magical Artifacts. If feasible, auction them alongside the Ye Family’s spirit beasts; our objective is to elevate Taihang Market’s prestige with this auction. Otherwise, the Ye Family’s discreet commerce protection might encounter obstacles!" Ye Jingyu announced.

For the Ye Family to conduct covert trade with other clans, they needed to present valuable treasures; otherwise, many families might not even consider discussions with the Ye Family.

Even though the Purple Mansion ceremony was executed smoothly, the Ye Family could not reveal their full capabilities, and numerous Golden Core powers within the Purple Mansion were still unaware of the Ye Family's current standing.

The upcoming auction presented an ideal chance to showcase such might.

"Understood!"

"Jing Yun, what about the cultivators from the Jin Family and the Kong Family?" Ye Jingyu inquired once more.

While Jin Yutang and Kong Yurong had departed early, many members from the Jin and Kong Families remained, mingling with unaffiliated cultivators under Ye Jingyun's watchful eye.

"They are investigating the Ye Family's situation, but these clan members are oblivious to their family's true standing!"

"Once they leave, remember to eliminate them. The crucial information has likely already been disseminated; there's no need to keep them alive!" Ye Jingyu stated nonchalantly.

After settling these urgent matters, Ye Jingyu sped towards Lingyun Lake.

Not long afterward, he arrived at the cave abode and retrieved a Blue Jade Egg.

On the egg's surface, spiritual energy circulated endlessly, and visible cracks even began to appear!

"It's finally ready to hatch!" Ye Jingyu quickly retrieved the newly acquired Jade Emperor Lotus.

The Jade Emperor Lotus was merely palm-sized, and only four lotuses adorned its platform.

However, its spiritual radiance emanated brilliantly, pulsing with vitality. Simultaneously, numerous ethereal lights emerged from the Blue Jade Egg, drawing the Jade Emperor Lotus towards itself.

Soon, bathed in azure luminescence, much like the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon's breakthrough previously, its aura grew even more potent.

Ye Jingyu could even discern joyous roars emanating from within.

The roars were filled with delight, seemingly expressing gratitude, which brought a smile to Ye Jingyu's face.

Thus, he became the sole member of the Ye Family to possess two Flood Dragons!
