Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 745: Chapter 548: Lingyun Surveillance, Insect Array Completed

The scarlet flames burned the Tian Niu Qinghong Furnace red as ever, and as the Pill Furnace shook, it was as if the Tian Niu lifted its head, a buzzing sound emanating.

The Pill Fragrance immediately became extremely rich, accompanied by a full furnace of radiance.

Ye Jingcheng also uncovered the furnace lid, revealing a large mass of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid inside.

Since it was the second refining, coupled with great improvement in alchemy skills, it went smoothly, resulting in two batches.

However, when it came to storing them in Jade Bottles, Ye Jingcheng was still somewhat disappointed.

His plan was to refine three batches, but the quantity of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid depends not only on alchemy skills but also on the materials.

His Purple Jade Fruits were not of the best quality.

Combined with some flaws during refining, only two batches were produced.

But in Ye Jingcheng’s view, two batches were sufficient at the moment, considering he didn’t need to worry about the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid on the Hidden Island, and on Lingyun Peak, only Chu Yanqing had the opportunity.

Once the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid was refined, Ye Jingcheng wiped the Pill Furnace, summarized the alchemy process, and then looked at the distant Peach Wood Demon.

The latter’s leaves had all disappeared, the Peach Gum on the Peach Wood had become sparse, and most of the wood grain had turned shimmering and lustrous.

It was clearly in the midst of a breakthrough, which brought joy to Ye Jingcheng.

Although the method to cultivate the Wood Heart was not particularly fast, at least it was effective.

Looking at the radiant Peach Wood Spirit Tree, Ye Jingcheng finally held some anticipation.

If previously the Peach Wood required decades or even hundreds of years to advance to Tier Three, perhaps now the time could be cut down significantly.

The Peach Wood entered seclusion, and the Stone Spirit seemed somewhat listless, unsure of what to do, noticing Ye Jingcheng’s gaze, cautiously lowered a layer of Spiritual Radiance, then resumed quietly visualizing the Star Diagram.

Ye Jingcheng saw this and nodded satisfactorily.

He then descended the peak, arriving at the ordinary Thunder Rhinoceros Insect Room.

Currently, his two insect rooms were situated on the peak, housing four Hidden-Wing Thunder Rhinoceros Insects.

Another was at the mountain’s base, a larger insect room covering about an acre, where plenty of Thunder Woods provided for these Thunder Rhinoceros Insects’ havoc.

Inside the insect room, Ye Jingcheng’s selected Insect General and a small number of Thunder Rhinoceros Insects had successfully advanced and broken through to Tier Two, roaring viciously inside.

They even engaged in fighting amongst themselves.

Over two years had passed, transforming from a single Tier Two Thunder Rhinoceros Insect to over thirty such insects.

The pace would continue to increase in the coming time.

This wasn’t far from his Heaven-Opening Divine Drum Insect Array.

Ye Jingcheng contentedly supplied a number of Spirit Pills, letting these Spirit Insects consume them before exiting the Grotto Heaven.

The spiritual energy on the entire Lingyun Peak had increased considerably compared to before.

Above Lingyun Lake, a thin layer of spiritual mist formed, numerous Spirit Fish leaped high above the lake surface, then splashed heavily back into the water, trying to ingest some spiritual mist.

Moreover, a thin layer of Spirit Net covered the lake surface.

Every time a Spirit Fish jumped up, it was pressed down by the Spirit Net.

This Spirit Net was evidently specially crafted, able to train the Spirit Fish and allow those with more aptitude to absorb more spiritual energy.

Thus, they could be sold for a better price.

It was survival of the fittest, enhancing the Spirit Fish variety.

After taking a look, Ye Jingcheng cheerfully turned around to the other side of the Spirit Lake, where a considerable amount of Cyan Jade Lotus was planted.

This Cyan Jade Lotus belonged to Tier Two Spirit Plants, brought back by Ye Jingcheng from the Desolate Secret Realm.

It was now a lush green, growing exceptionally verdant!

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng suddenly felt, after refining his cultivation technique, whether it was an illusion or not, everything seemed much more pleasing to the eye.

The mountains were more solid, the waters more lingering, the clouds more gentle.

Such a feeling of ambiance was not solely due to the Spirit Vein; Ye Jingcheng felt it might be linked to his own Five Spirit Roots.

However, concerning Spirit Roots, even the Divine Monarchs in Divinity Transformation might not fully comprehend them, so after pondering for a while, Ye Jingcheng decided not to dwell on it.

His Divine Sense began to extend across the entire Lingyun Peak.

He found that Lingyun Peak had gained some more cultivators, clearly within these two and a half years, more clan members had ascended the mountain.

Ye Jingcheng checked the clan tokens but found nothing particularly important, so he directly returned to his own courtyard.

Chu Yanqing was currently in seclusion, but not in absolute isolation; rather, it was regular cultivation, so Ye Jingcheng simply waited in the courtyard.

Moreover, he discovered, some spirit almonds had unknowingly filled the branches in the courtyard again.

This time, they were even fuller, weighing heavily and bending many branches.

Ye Jingcheng looked at the apricot fruits that had turned yellowish and couldn’t help but smile knowingly.

He mused that his Fourth Grandfather was sending more and more spirit fruits.

He also sat at the stone table, took out a pot of Spirit Tea, and began quietly waiting.

As days and nights cycled, the apricot fruits grew larger and increasingly exuded spirit fragrance.

One day, under the dazzling sun, the spirit almonds turned somewhat translucent yellow.

The courtyard door finally opened, and Chu Yanqing emerged, the latter evidently already at Foundation Establishment Peak.

Her aura was incredibly exuberant and intense, her entire body even shimmering with spiritual light, as if some spiritual energy was already transforming into True Essence.

These were clearly signs of an imminent breakthrough to the Purple Mansion.

“Brother Cheng, why didn’t you send a transmission?” Chu Yanqing looked at Ye Jingcheng waiting there and gracefully sat beside him.
