Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1097 - 775: Turtle Ancestor’s Seclusion, Bamboo Forest’s Gift (Two-in-One)

In the Desert Sea, within the Celestial Phoenix Oasis, lies Dragon Valley.

This place is characterized by rugged terrain and vast barren expanses.

A gentle breeze stirs, raising yellow smoke that blankets the ground in a desolate, sandy hue, marking it as a rare desolate region within the entire oasis.

Dragon Valley itself contains numerous specially crafted Spirit Peaks, adept at gathering Spiritual Energy!

From a distance, above Dragon Valley, a spiritual energy formation resembling a roaring dragon appears.

The central and largest Array Foundation of the formidable Thick Earth Yellow Dragon Array is situated precisely here!

Dragon Valley serves as the Ye Family’s closest Beast Valley to the summit of Celestial Shadow Peak.

A substantial quantity of Earth Attribute Spirit Stones is buried within this area, resulting in abundant Spiritual Energy.

Consequently, it rightfully holds the position of the Ye Family's premier Beast Valley, and it is here that the Tai Cang Turtle's cave is located.

At this very moment, the Turtle Ancestor is resting in a pit, while a cultivator kneels before it, gently stroking the giant turtle's head.

The cultivator is tall and robust, clad in an impeccably clean white robe.

Despite his appearance, a palpable sense of helplessness emanates from his gaze.

As the turtle shifted its head, the Tai Cang Turtle began to speak:

"Jingcheng, you rascal, infuse more Spiritual Light into me. You haven't given me any for seven or eight years; you must be secretly hoarding it. Giving it to other beasts is the same as giving it to me, your Turtle Ancestor, and I will reward you for it!"

"Furthermore, I am on the verge of a breakthrough, and earning Contribution Points rapidly is key. Just wait and see!"

"I can even pilfer your granduncle's Contribution Points to support you!"

"We shall work together from within and without, and soon the Ye Family will be under our control!"

Ye Jingcheng feels utterly exasperated. In truth, he has already infused three pages of Treasure Light, but alas, the Tai Cang Turtle persistently claims it's insufficient.

Moreover, its behavior mirrors that of Peach Wood; the more it talks, the more absurd its demands become.

It's akin to savoring inferior wine!

If it weren't for the fact that the Tai Cang Turtle is nearing the Late Stage of the Third Tier, preparing to enter seclusion to breakthrough to the Third Tier Peak, and subsequently devour the Ye Family's Tier Four Tai Cang Turtle Inner Core to ascend to Demon King status,

Ye Jingcheng would never have expended such a significant amount of Treasure Light.

Upon closer inspection now, one can observe that since the Turtle Ancestor's second advancement, the Spirit Patterns etched onto its shell have deepened, imbuing the shell with a richer texture.

Its pair of brown eyes gleam with enhanced brightness and vitality, and even its gray beard has lengthened, appearing to be suffused with Spiritual Light.

It remains uncertain whether this white beard grew naturally or was intentionally extended through the use of Spiritual Energy.

Without a doubt, the most striking transformation in the Turtle Ancestor following its advancement is the appearance of a beast-faced Spirit Pattern centered on its abdomen.

This facial visage is merely a faint outline, impossible to discern completely, but when activated, it grants the Tai Cang Turtle the ability to merge with the void, vanishing entirely.

Even Ye Jingcheng, without meticulously probing with his Divine Sense, cannot detect any trace of its presence.

While it bears a resemblance to the Stone Spirit's Void Concealment Skill, it is demonstrably superior, allowing for unhindered movement, albeit not at exceptional speed.

Nevertheless, in moments of critical need, it could undoubtedly prove invaluable to the Ye Family.

Concurrently, the Turtle Ancestor's Grotto Heaven has expanded several fold once more.

The current size of the Grotto Heaven significantly surpasses that of Ye Jingcheng's Stone Spirit Grotto Heaven.

It has, in essence, reclaimed its standing as the Ye Family's foremost Grotto Heaven.

This immense progress is the very reason for the Turtle Ancestor's overwhelming excitement.

Should it successfully break through to Tier Four, it perceives a genuine possibility of forming a Blood Contract Communication Beast with Ye Jingcheng.

At the very least, it might achieve a somewhat less subservient status.

Over the years, it has come to realize that all the rebellious Demon Kings within the Desert Sea are currently bound by contracts with Ye Jingcheng.

Motivated by the allure of Treasure Light, it is prepared to take a calculated risk, contingent upon its successful breakthrough to Demon King.

Otherwise, its cultivation level would fall short even of Ye Haicheng, let alone the other two venerable elders within the Ye Family, Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan, hence the Tai Cang Turtle's palpable sense of urgency.

"Turtle Ancestor, the Treasure Light is already abundant!" Ye Jingcheng couldn't refrain from speaking.

Upon hearing this, the Tai Cang Turtle grudgingly responded:

"Jingcheng, you brat, don't focus on my current lack of Contribution Points. I, Turtle Ancestor, am a promising investment, and I've even secured a share of your granduncle's Contribution Points. You can use these to acquire other Spirit Pills for me!"

"Do not hesitate; just fill me up completely and unleash the full potential of Turtle Ancestor!"

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng could only sigh with helplessness, but he had already prepared the necessary Spirit Pills. He promptly produced two bottles of Yellow Mushroom Profound Origin Pill.

This Yellow Mushroom Profound Origin Pill, a top-grade, tier-three Earth Attribute Spirit Pill, was so rare that despite the Ye Family's ownership of the Desert Sea, they could only procure seven complete sets of the required Spirit Medicine. To ensure the Turtle Ancestor's successful breakthrough to Tier Four Demon King, two bottles, each containing two pills, were prepared. This was deemed necessary as the Ye Family's cultivator numbers grew, their territory expanded, and potential threats consequently increased. The Turtle Ancestor remained the Ye Family's ultimate safeguard; a higher cultivation level for this guardian would grant the family greater peace of mind. It's vital to note that the Ye Family's Ye Shen Valley and Beast Communication Tower were both situated within the Turtle Ancestor's Grotto Heaven.

Following the nurturing of the Turtle Ancestor, Ye Jingcheng emerged from Dragon Valley, where Ye Haicheng awaited him. Just as Ye Haicheng prepared to speak, both their expressions shifted dramatically. In an instant, they transformed into streaks of light, hurtling towards a Spirit Lake within Celestial Phoenix Oasis. This particular Spirit Lake, though devoid of any nurtured Spirit Beasts, was fortified with arrays, reportedly on par with any array guarding a Ye Family Beast Valley. It was within this very lake that the Ye Family's Teleportation Array was established. At this precise moment, the Teleportation Array had already activated.

Subsequently, a Mountain-devouring Rat materialized upon the Teleportation Array. This creature was enormous, with a Teleportation Talisman attached to its back. As the two arrived, Ye Xingyu was also preparing to examine the Mountain-devouring Rat. As the Ye Family's own Mountain-devouring Rat, it was intimately familiar with their specialized commands. Upon receiving Ye Xingyu's directive, the rat indeed executed a bowing motion. Its gaze betrayed no sign of distress, confirming that all was well at Lingyun Peak. Observing the rat's noticeably rounded abdomen, Ye Jingcheng and the others couldn't help but share a lighthearted chuckle.
