Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1448 - 1043: Ye Family’s Spiritual Child and Wan Yulian

The warm morning light spilled across the oasis, making the newly planted Spirit Seedlings look even greener and more lush. Today, the vast majority of Celestial Phoenix Oasis consisted of Spirit Mountains. The rest was divided into towns and cities, with a small portion dedicated to Spirit Fields.

For the Ye Family, the Spirit Leaves of the Spirit Rice could be used as fodder for herbivorous Spirit Beasts, while the Spirit Rice itself supported the Cultivators in their Cultivation. Moreover, following the seed improvements from the Central Domain’s Spirit Fields, many of the Ye Family’s Spirit Fields were now cultivated by mortals. This arrangement freed up a significant amount of time for the Cultivators to focus on their Cultivation.

Ye Qingmu was a minor Steward of the Spirit Plant Hall. With his Cultivation at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment, his talent was neither exceptionally good nor notably poor within the Ye Family. He was currently in charge of three hundred acres of Spirit Fields in Celestial Phoenix Oasis, with ten clan members working under his command. His greatest concern every year was the yield of the Spirit Rice. This was not merely his own priority, but a major matter for the entire Spirit Plant Hall.

The spring plowing had just concluded, and the Spirit Fields were teeming with delightful seedlings. Unlike previous years when the Spirit Seedlings grew at an average pace, this year’s growth was exceptionally vigorous. In just a few days, they had already grown significantly taller. Under the sunlight, they shimmered with brilliant Spiritual Light, exuding a vibrant green vitality. While this was undoubtedly influenced by the effects of the Tier Five Spiritual Vein, it was also largely due to the potent efficacy of the Spirit Cultivation Water recently developed by the Ye Family.

"Let’s go back to the Spirit Plant Hall. Yunmei has truly made a massive contribution. This Spirit Water will definitely increase our Spirit Rice yield by another thirty percent," Ye Qingmu said joyfully after observing for a while.

The number of Cultivator clan members in the Ye Family was approaching twenty thousand. Despite the Ye Family’s current substantial financial revenue and the significant amount of Spirit Stones they earned, they still faced considerable pressure if they did not mine the Spirit Stone Veins. An additional thirty percent yield in Spirit Rice would drastically alleviate the Ye Family’s financial strain, and their Spirit Plant Hall would be credited with a great merit.

The group quickly returned to Earth Shadow Peak.

Inside Earth Shadow Peak, not only Ye Yunmei was present, but Ye Jingyu was there as well.

"Seventh Aunt, Yunmei, Hall Master, the Spirit Seedlings are growing much faster than usual," Ye Qingmu announced excitedly.

"It’s not just your Spirit Fields that will see a higher yield; the effects in the Spirit Medicine Garden are excellent as well. This new Spirit Cultivation Water will be considered a major merit, even at the clan competition or family meetings!" The current Hall Master of the Spirit Plant Hall was Ye Qingyuan. Of course, this wasn’t because Ye Qingyuan’s attainments in Spirit Plants surpassed Ye Jingyu’s. Rather, it was because Ye Jingyu’s Cultivation was only at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, still a bit short of the Foundation Establishment Peak. Because of this, Ye Jingyu had stepped down from the position of Hall Master over a decade ago, passing the role to Ye Qingyuan, who possessed Purple Mansion Cultivation.

At this moment, Ye Qingyuan smiled and cupped his hands toward Ye Jingyu. "Seventh Aunt, at the clan gathering after this ceremony, the family will establish the title of Spiritual Child. The Pill Hall, Artifact Hall, Talisman Hall, and Array Hall will each have two. The Spirit Plant Hall, Clan Study Hall, Sword and Saber Halls, Law Enforcement Hall, Hidden Peak, and the Branches will each have one.

"For these Spiritual Children, the family will prioritize the allocation of Cultivation Resources, supporting them at least until the Late Stage of Purple Mansion. Moreover, this will be based solely on their contributions and attainments in their respective fields, regardless of their innate talent," Ye Qingyuan explained.

He knew very well that this Spirit Cultivation Liquid was refined by Ye Jingyu, and that she had also developed the Tier Three High-Grade Spirit Feeding Liquid. Her becoming the Spiritual Child of the Spirit Plant Hall was essentially set in stone. This way, factoring in her Life Extension and the Wood Demon True Essence Blood and Qi Transformation Method, Ye Jingyu would have at least two chances to break through to the Purple Mansion. Given her profound research into the path of Spirit Plants, breaking through to the Purple Mansion in the future would naturally allow her to reach even greater heights.

"There’s no need to choose me for the title of the Spirit Plant Hall’s Spiritual Child this time. Just choose Yunmei," Ye Jingyu said, shaking her head. "I can already exchange for the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid using my Contribution Points. If I succeed, I succeed. If I fail, it simply means it wasn’t meant to be in my destiny."

Ye Jingyu was very open-minded about the matter. Now that the family was already a Nascent Soul Clan, she had nothing left to be dissatisfied with. She also knew that the family’s purpose in selecting Spiritual Children was to give clan members with subpar Cultivation talent, but exceptional skills in the Four Skills of Cultivation or other Special Abilities, a chance to break through to the Purple Mansion. As long as they broke through to the Purple Mansion, they would gain a lifespan of five hundred years, allowing them to continue delving deeply into their respective crafts.

Furthermore, unlike other families that could only rely on Spirit Pills to support their Cultivators, the Ye Family could also rely on inheriting High-Tier Spirit Beasts. This would increase their breakthrough chances and Cultivation speed, and they could even undergo Soul Injection to enhance their Soul Power. However, the Ye Family did not have many High-Tier Great Demons available for inheritance, which was why they had to single out Spiritual Children for focused nurturing.

"Seventh Granny, Yunmei doesn’t need it. I am confident that I can break through to the Purple Mansion even without the Spiritual Child title," Ye Yunmei couldn’t help but interject.

Her affection for Ye Jingyu was just like the affection Ye Jingyu held for Ye Xinghan. They had already bid farewell to Ye Xinghan, and she naturally didn’t want to see Ye Jingyu pass away as well.

"Yunmei, your way of thinking is dead wrong!" Seeing Ye Yunmei speak up, Ye Jingyu’s voice couldn’t help but turn stern. She furrowed her brows and continued, "You possess Water and Wood Dual Spirit Roots, and you have the highest attainments in Spirit Plants within the Ye Family’s Spirit Plant Hall. How can your goal merely be the Purple Mansion? Your goal should be the Nascent Soul!

"Our Spirit Plant Hall cannot compare to the Pill Hall and Artifact Hall; our ability to earn Spirit Stones and Contribution Points is far weaker. If you inherit a Tier Three Great Demon earlier, you can inherit a Tier Four Great Demon earlier, and the family might even grant you High-Tier Spirit Beast Cubs to nurture. The difference between these paths is worlds apart!

"What you carry on your shoulders is not just the pride of our Spirit Plant Hall, but the responsibility for the entire Ye Family’s Spirit Medicine Garden!

"In the future, the family will possess Three-Thousand-Year-Old Elixirs, Five-Thousand-Year-Old Elixirs, and even Transformation Spirit Medicines and Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Elixirs. If your Cultivation is only at the Purple Mansion, how could the family confidently entrust their cultivation to you?" Ye Jingyu’s rapid-fire lecture instantly rendered Ye Yunmei speechless.
