Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1312 - 924: Yu Family Makes a Move, Chenjing Jade Acquired
Previously on Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book...
Of course, this kind of Chenjing Jade must come from the territory of a Chenjing Demon Emperor to be effective.
This time, the Ye Family headed for the outskirts of the Chenjing Sea, a territory of an early-stage Fifth Tier Chenjing Demon Emperor.
Over the years, with the Ye Family’s infiltration and the unique exploration by Blood Leeches, the Ye Family has mapped out the safest route.
This route has the fewest Chenjing, making exposure less likely, and even if the Demon Emperor hasn’t ascended to the Earth Immortal Realm, it should have already fallen into slumber, not easily awakening.
Chenjiŋ is different from other Demon Races; their lifespan is extremely long, not yielding even to the Spirit Turtle, and they love to sleep.
Last time, the Zhang Family managed to poach Chenjing Jade for this very reason.
However, don’t think it’s safe; these Chenjing are extremely irritable and very territorial.
Once exposed, it’s almost like a lamb entering a tiger’s den, never to return.
For many years, successful poaching of Chenjing Jade from the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain has been extremely rare.
It is rumored that Nascent Soul Sects have some dealings with the Chenjing Race, exchanging for some Chenjing Jade, which is why Fifth Tier Sects rarely resort to theft.
For families like the Ye Family, without even a Nascent Soul Cultivator on the surface, let alone any provided path or information from these Nascent Soul Sects.
Even if they were provided, the Chenjing might deem the Ye Family too weak to trade and resort to direct plundering instead.
After an unknown amount of time, the three were startled awake by the rhythmic movement of the abdominal space.
This wasn’t due to the Chenjing encountering danger; rather, it was informing them that they had arrived at Cyan Chen Island.
Cyan Chen Island isn’t a famous large island; it was named by the Ye Family because it is near their current destination.
The island’s spiritual energy isn’t abundant; it merely has a Cyan Jade Ore.
This Cyan Jade is Tier Two Spirit Jade and is a good material for making high-grade jade talismans, though it has some value.
But this place is already within the Chenjing Sea, so naturally, no cultivators dare come here to extract jade.
"Big brother, this time went smoothly, probably thanks to the influence of the Yu Family!" Ye Haisheng said excitedly.
"Still, we should remain cautious. The demon races of the Chenjing Sea can equate to the pure-blooded Flood Dragon Race."
"Apply the talismans!" Ye Haicheng also spoke, taking out three spirit talismans.
These three talismans were acquired by the Ye Family from the Central Domain at a considerable cost, and are Tier Four Water Mountain Divine Concealment Talismans.
While the stealth effect isn’t perfect, it makes it extremely difficult for some Golden Core Demon Kings to sense us.
Once the talismans were applied, Ye Haicheng, Ye Haisheng, and the others brought out their magical treasures.
This time, they couldn’t pretend to be dead like earlier.
Though the Chenjing Race doesn’t usually harbor animosity toward each other,
once they reach the Demon Emperor’s lair, the remaining Chenjing will be strictly defensive, not allowing any unfamiliar Chenjing to approach.
At that time, Ye Haicheng and his group would need to take action.
Among them, Ye Haicheng was responsible for holding off the inevitable Demon Kings, while Ye Haisheng and Ye Haige were responsible for poaching the Chenjing Jade.
The location of the Tier Five Chenjing Jade had already been scouted by the Ye Family, which took multiple trips to the Chenjing Sea, costing many Blood Leeches and some concealed Seaweed Insects over the years to finally determine.
And the map was long etched in the minds of the three.
As they neared the Demon Emperor’s territory, the Chenjing also began to slow down.
Among them, Ye Haicheng took out a Flying Puppet, prepared it well, and set it towards the previous Cyan Chen Island carrying Demon-enticing Grass.
After a long while, with a Black Crow Island appearing at the sea’s edge, the surrounding spiritual energy thickened.
With a slight sensing, they could tell the spiritual energy intensity of the island ahead rivaled a Tier Five Middle Grade.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Amidst astonishing whale roars, an incredible beastly might belonging to a Demon King descended upon the Chenjing, paralyzing Ye Haisheng’s Little Chen Whale, forcing it to turn back.
Intense beastly might fell upon the Chenjing’s wounds as well, causing it to cry out in pain.
Inside the abdomen, Ye Haicheng began wielding a secret technique, activating his Flying Puppet to use the Demon-enticing Grass.
This action was significantly aided by a Spirit Puppet acquired from the Jia Family before.
Otherwise, the Ye Family would’ve lost countless core members.
Regarding the Flying Puppet, Ye Haicheng planned further research, aiming to refine a Tier Four Flying Puppet in the future.
Being an Artifact Refiner himself, although somewhat different from working with Spirit Puppets, the difference isn’t particularly vast.
With the Ye Family housing a Tier Four Artifact Refiner like Chu Yanqing, Ye Haicheng was now also investing more energy into Spirit Puppets.
He was already capable of refining Tier Three Middle Grade Flying Puppets and Tier Three High-Grade Beast Puppets.
As the Flying Puppet at Cyan Chen Island took effect, the Chenjing Demon King mentioned earlier indeed swam towards that direction with terrifying speed, quickly surpassing the Ye Family’s Chenjing.
The Ye Family’s Chenjing continued to conceal its form, changing direction towards the Demon Emperor’s isle.
The closer they got, the faster the Chenjing sped up.
By this point, the Ye Family’s Divine Concealment Talisman had started to radiate Divine Light, finally covering the entire Chenjing.
In an instant, they arrived at the previous island.
Ye Haicheng and Ye Haige each exited the abdominal space of the Chenjing, heading towards the isle.
And within the sea domain, a mid-stage Fourth Tier Chenjing and a Tier Three High-Grade Chenjing advanced towards Ye Haicheng and Ye Haige.
The larger Chenjing was over eighty zhang long, and even the smaller Tier Three Chenjing exceeded forty zhang.
Two beams of Divine Light separately descended upon Ye Haicheng and Ye Haige.
