Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 989 - 689: Immense Wealth, Zhang Jia’s Counterattack (Double-Length)

Dao Yuan Peak stands adjacent to Yuanling Lake. Despite its location within the vast Desert Sea, this peak rivals Lingyun Peak in stature.

Unlike many locales where summits are perpetually capped with ice and snow, this region maintains a perpetual spring-like climate. Consequently, the Spirit Medicine Garden situated here flourishes exceptionally, bathed in gentle sunlight.

Within the grand hall, Ye Jingcheng meticulously inspects the Yellow Dragon Ganoderma, a profound smile gracing his features.

The upper portion of the Yellow Dragon Ganoderma closely resembles ordinary Reishi mushrooms. However, its lower section boasts roots akin to Spirit Ginseng, remarkably elongated and reminiscent of a Yellow Dragon's whiskers, thus earning its distinctive name.

This particular Ganoderma serves as a potent tonic for typical Earth Attribute Demon Kings.

Its rarity is such that even within the Taihang Mountain Range, it is seldom found. Its discovery now in the Desert Sea leads Ye Jingcheng to surmise the existence of numerous Earth Attribute Spiritual Medicines in this vicinity.

"In addition to this, we have uncovered a multitude of Tier Three Spiritual Medicines!" Ye Xuefan continued, revealing a collection of spiritual medicines.

If Ye Jingcheng's assessment is accurate, these should all originate from the Spirit Medicine Garden of the Yuanling Oasis, predominantly belonging to the Earth Attribute.

A significant portion of these spiritual medicines are, in fact, components for crafting Tier Three Golden Scale Pills.

Crucially, some of these ingredients also overlap with those required for Tier Four Earth Dragon Pills, although they are not the primary components.

When Ye Jingcheng initially encountered the Earth Dragon Demon King, he discerned its potential for advancement.

However, the Earth Dragon Demon King's capacity for advancement was limited to two further stages.

This limitation does not signify inferior talent; rather, it attests to the Demon King achieving its current state through exceptional innate abilities and a wealth of fortuitous encounters.

Typically, Advancement Pills of Tier One, Two, and Three yield no discernible benefits. It is only from Tier Four Advancement Pills onwards that significant advantages begin to manifest.

While Tier Four Earth Dragon Pills are now beyond reach, the strategic utilization of these spiritual medicines to subtly augment the Tier Three Golden Scale Pill presents a viable alternative.

Subsequently, by employing Essence Blood from corresponding Spirit Beasts, one could refine Advancement Spirit Pills suitable for Tier Three Earth Attribute Spirit Beasts. This approach is highly achievable.

Nevertheless, there is no immediate urgency for this endeavor. Currently, the Ye Family boasts only seven Purple Mansion Cultivators: Ye Xuefu, Ye Jingyu, Ye Haisheng, Ye Haifei, Ye Xuefan, Ye Haicheng, and Ye Haige.

Among this group, Ye Haicheng alone is proficient in Earth Attribute Cultivation Techniques.

Naturally, beyond Advancement Pills, the Ye Family possesses the capability to refine Tier Three Cultivation Spirit Pills.

With the Inner Cores acquired from the Beast Tide, the Ye Family's supply of Spirit Pills will remain abundant for the foreseeable future.

This is especially true given that Ye Jingcheng attained the rank of a Tier Four Alchemist even before his breakthrough to the Golden Core stage. While his mastery has not experienced a dramatic surge, he can reliably ensure both the quantity and the Pill Formation Rate for refining Tier Three Spirit Pills.

"Fourth Uncle, entrust these Spirit Pills to my care!" Ye Jingcheng stated, generously accepting all the spiritual medicines offered.

"This Yuanling Oasis is actually quite favorable. The Spirit Vein here is of Tier Three High-Grade, and in addition to the Spirit Vein of Dao Yuan Peak, Yuanling Lake itself possesses a Tier Three Lower Grade Spirit Vein. Previously, the Zhang Family controlled both the Inner and Outer Lakes, which our Ye Family can now access. This location is particularly conducive to cultivating Spirit Fish!"

"Furthermore, this Yuanling Oasis harbors a Tier Two Secret Silver Spirit Ore deposit and two Tier One Ancient Bronze Ores. The Profound Stretch Pavilion and Celestial Armor Tower, in particular, yielded five to six Tier Three Spirit Talismans and three to four Tier Three Magical Treasures, along with an even greater quantity of Tier Two items. The family's total gains from this endeavor could conservatively exceed three million, not even accounting for the intrinsic value of the Spirit Veins and the Spirit Medicine Garden!" Ye Xuefan provided a concise summary.

And this tally represents only the family's collective gains; the individual spoils of the Ye Clan members have yet to be fully tallied.

Upon defeating their enemies, they were entitled to seventy percent of the Storage Bags. However, the stipulation for a family battle required the surrender of thirty percent of these gains.

"Judging by this, the other three major oases likely present similar opportunities. If we can secure dominion over this Desert Sea, our Ye Family would possess the fundamental resources to ascend to the status of a Nascent Soul Clan!"

Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but smile and nod in agreement. The established foundation of this expansive oasis is entirely comparable to that of certain Great Purple Mansion Clans.

Indeed, the foundations of Longxing Oasis might even surpass those of peak Golden Core Clans.

It is no wonder then that the Zhang and Jia Families each secretly maintained three to four Golden Core Cultivators.

Moreover, nearly every member of the Zhang Family is equipped with two Tier Four Magical Treasures, while each individual in the Jia Family possesses a Golden Core Spirit Puppet.

Most notably, Jia Zeyuan ostentatiously refined a Tier Four Puppet Arm to serve as his Lifebound Magical Treasure.

Regrettably, that particular treasure for the arm wasn't ideally suited for Ye Jingcheng and proved rather impractical for the Demon Kings. It might necessitate future modifications or await the breakthrough of Ye Haicheng and Ye Haige to the Golden Core stage before it could be effectively utilized.

Nevertheless, the Tier Four Spirit-Stepping Boots Magical Treasure was bestowed upon the Earth Dragon Demon King.

This particular bestowal was intended to bolster the Earth Dragon Demon King's prospects when confronting Zhang Taiji, ensuring he possessed at least two Tier Four Magical Treasures.

Thus, the Earth Dragon Demon King would have the advantage of at least two Tier Four Magical Treasures.

Furthermore, three Golden Core Storage Bags were acquired by Ye Jingcheng.

However, the contents within, comprising treasures and Spirit Stones, did not elicit Ye Jingcheng's full satisfaction.

Not a single Spirit Talisman remained; they had all been expended. The accumulated Spirit Stones amounted to a mere million-plus, and the spiritual medicines and materials contained nothing of exceptional value.

The sole items of significant worth were the Tier Four Top-Grade Spirit Gathering Array, the Spirit-Attracting Stone, and the Tier Four Spirit Puppet.

These three artifacts held immense value in themselves.

Yet, in all honesty, their usability was questionable. The initial two offered minimal assistance in offensive capabilities, and the Tier Four Spirit Puppet could not be openly displayed in the presence of the Jia Family.

Ye Jingcheng harbored genuine apprehension that the Jia Family might have tampered with the Spirit Puppet. Should he reveal those three Tier Four Spirit Puppets, they could potentially turn against him unexpectedly, betraying the Ye Family and inciting further disaster.

Consequently, Ye Jingcheng determined it was safer not to employ them at all.

Beyond these, a considerable number of Tier Three Magical Treasures were found, inclusive of three of the highest grade. However, these too were not an ideal fit for Ye Jingcheng, leading him to distribute them amongst his family members.
