The Golden-Scaled Beast Breaks Through

It was afternoon when I left the Alchemy Pavilion.

His courtyard faces west, so the setting sun shines directly into it.

At this moment, golden sunlight streamed into his courtyard, making it appear as magnificent as a palace.

Ye Jingcheng was indeed in a good mood.

At the entrance to the courtyard, the Jade Ring Rat lay leisurely, basking in the sun with its round, bulging belly.

Her pair of Jade Ring earrings were like large palm-leaf fans, slowly waving.

Without the Golden-Scaled Beast, the Jade Ring Rat lived a carefree life every day.

Moreover, the Jade Ring Rat is not picky about food, and it will also find some Spirit Insect in the mountains to eat, and gnaw on some tree roots that are imbued with Spiritual Qi.

After all, the Soaring Cloud Peak of the Ye Family is a second-grade high-quality Spirit Vein, and those flowers, plants and trees have more or less been touched by Spiritual Qi, which is indeed not very useful to cultivators.

But for the Jade Ring Rat, it is a rare and precious Spirit Feeding Pill and an after-meal snack.

Upon seeing Ye Jingcheng return, the Jade Ring Rat flipped over and nimbly rushed towards Ye Jingcheng.

It squeaked a few times, indicating that the Array was working and no one was coming to the courtyard.

Ye Jingcheng smiled knowingly, took out two Spirit Feeding Pills and gave them to the Jade Ring Rat, which delighted the latter.

Ye Jingcheng inputted some more Treasure Radiance, and then walked towards the courtyard.

His primary concern right now is the Golden-Scaled Beast and the Jade-Scale Snake.

The former is breaking through, while the latter is in its fastest growth phase, having just hatched.

Moreover, this Jade-Scale Snake is very good at swallowing.

He hasn't returned for three days now; I guess the Jade-Scale Snake is starving.

Ye Jingcheng entered the house and, as expected, saw a scene that made Ye Jingcheng cover his face in embarrassment.

Beside the Spirit Gathering Array, the Jade-Scale Snake raised its head high, looking at the Golden-Scaled Beast, constantly flicking its tongue.

The Crimson Flame Fox was extremely alert and glared at the Jade-Scale Snake.

The image of water and fire being incompatible was clearly formed.

Then, the two beasts emitted fluctuations of their Divine Soul.

The Jade-Scale Snake's aura was hunger, and it even looked at the Golden-Scaled Beast and said it smelled delicious.

The fluctuations emanating from the Crimson Flame Fox indicated that the Jade-Scale Snake wanted to devour them.

Ye Jingcheng was to reprimand Jade-Scale Snake.

Both beasts possess extremely high intelligence.

He seemed to notice that Ye Jingcheng's expression was different.

The Jade-Scale Snake flicked out its tongue again, and lowered its head slightly.

The fluctuations in the Divine Soul continued to emanate.

It was as if it was saying that it didn't intend to devour the Golden-Scaled Beast, but it still insisted that the Golden-Scaled Beast smelled delicious!

Ye Jingcheng had no doubts upon seeing this. He had Soul Pact and was clear about his understanding and Divine Soul connection with the three Spirit Beasts.

He knew that the Jade-Scale Snake was probably really starving.

This time, Ye Jingcheng also directly took out fifty catties of Dense Forest Pig Spirit Beast meat and gave it to the Jade-Scale Snake.

More than a month later, the Jade-Scale Snake had grown to eight feet long, with its thickest parts reaching half a foot in diameter.

As for the Jade Lin tail, it already showed layers of shallow snake marks, resembling swords and knives.

Moreover, unlike the Crimson Flame Fox Golden-Scaled Beast, they need to practice before they can use Fireball Technique Earth Spike Technique.

The Jade-Scale Snake was extremely skilled in using its Jade Lin Tail.

If the prey is large, a single swipe of its tail will split it in two.

Whether it's due to their species or because they find it more comfortable to swallow whole, the Jade-Scale Snake prefers to grow larger and more bloated rather than eat in pieces.

After finishing its meal, the Jade-Scale Snake stretched out its head again, allowing Ye Jingcheng to infuse it with Treasure Radiance. After infusing the Treasure Radiance, Ye Jingcheng fed it another Azure Spirit Pill.

It then crawled toward the Spirit Gathering Array, coiled around it, and began to digest it.

Even so, it still looked at the Golden-Scaled Beast with eyes full of pleasure.

It lay still, its tail still swishing back and forth.

Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but feel somewhat helpless.

The Jade-Scale Snake close its eyes, nor can it be forced to look at the beam or out the window. Even the setting sun, which is not so intense, is something the Jade-Scale Snake does not like.

Ye Jingcheng then looked at the Golden-Scaled Beast, which was still covered in golden spiritual light, like a large golden bead.

Its aura has also become much stronger, so the chances of successfully advancing this time are very high.

The Crimson Flame Fox was relieved and walked to Ye Jingcheng, lying down at his feet and rubbing its soft red ears against Ye Jingcheng feet.

Previously, it used to rub its forehead against something, but now the Spirit Patterns on its forehead has transformed into a small flame.

Even if it wanted to, Ye Jingcheng wouldn't let it rub against him like that.

Ye Jingcheng took out a Red Ganoderma Pill and gave it to the Crimson Flame Fox, and then took out some Spirit Beast meat.

Since he had hunted the Dense Forest Pig himself, he didn't feel bad about it.

Then some Treasure Radiance was infused into the Crimson Flame Fox.

Seeing that the Golden-Scaled Beast was not going to work anytime soon, Ye Jingcheng also began refining pills.

This time, the pill being refined was the Red Ganoderma Pill.

Although he hadn't been practicing fire control for long, the improvement in his alchemy skills would also enhance his pill-making technique.

Moreover, the supply of Red Ganoderma Pill) is running low.

The stronger the Crimson Flame Fox, the purer the Fire Attribute Spiritual Qi it receives through the Beast-Link Mark, and the faster its cultivation speed will be.

He now feels that he will be able to break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining in two or three years!

It should be noted that with his original talent, it would have taken him three to four years to advance from the third to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

This progress also greatly satisfied Ye Jingcheng.

The Pill Furnace continued to spin, and this time, Ye Jingcheng tried the Four-Part Alchemy Method.

Because of the Crimson Flame Fox's terrifying fire control ability, Ye Jingcheng discovered that he could master the Four-Part Alchemy Method in one go.

Then, the Azure Elephant Furnace emitted a deep elephant-like roar.

The Pill Furnace trembled instantly, the lid flew off, and five Crimson Flame Pill appeared inside.

Moreover, each one is bright red, plump and round, and of excellent quality!

Compared to before, when he could only refine about three, this was a significant improvement.

As he becomes more skilled at controlling the fire and gains a deeper understanding of the Pill Formula, this progress will only increase.

For the next two weeks, Ye Jingcheng was even busier.

Feeding Spirit Beast, refining pills, learning Pill Formula, and cultivating.

He barely had time to leave the yard, but every sunset and sunrise, he would set aside some time to relax by looking out the window.

Sometimes, during rainy or foggy weather, you can see many moths flying around.

Time flies.

On this day, as the earthy yellow aura intensified once more, the Golden-Scaled Beast finally completed its advancement.

At that moment, yellowish-brown barbs appeared on the head of the Golden-Scaled Beast, making it look like a hedgehog.

Its entire body was covered with a layer of yellow Spirit Patterns.

The lines on the two forepaws became even more prominent, and in the next moment, these lines naturally condensed into a layer of stone armor, covering the Golden-Scaled Beast's body.

Clearly, Stone Skin Technique appears to have evolved into Stone Armor Technique.

Moreover, the Golden-Scaled Beast's size had increased dramatically, and even when it walked through a room reinforced with Array, it made a dull sound.

His aura also progressed from the seventh level of Qi Refining to the appearance of someone just entering the eighth level of Qi Refining.

It howled joyfully at Ye Jingcheng, then glared at the Jade-Scale Snake!

He was even grinning.

The Divine Soul it transmitted to Ye Jingcheng was anger.

It felt the Jade-Scale Snake staring at it for a long time, and it was even drooling.

The Jade-Scale Snake Serpent immediately responded, finding the Golden-Scaled Beast even more appealing.

The Golden-Scaled Beast glared at it, baring its teeth and roaring at it, but it wasn't annoyed. It just watched quietly, marveling at how delicious it was.

Perhaps it was tired and found the Jade-Scale Snake uninteresting, so it looked towards the Crimson Flame Fox.

However, the Crimson Flame Fox wasn't going to tolerate it and bared its sharp teeth in return.

His blue pupils instantly turned crimson.

An even stronger aura surged forth, instantly extinguishing the Golden-Scaled Beast's momentum.

Then it rushed outside, but the Jade Ring Rat outside rushed in. It wanted to stay under Ye Jingcheng's watchful eye; nowhere else was safe.

Ye Jingcheng knew that the Golden-Scaled Beast wouldn't actually attack the Jade Ring Rat, so he didn't pay any attention to it. He just looked at the Jade-Scale Snake.

In its eyes, the Jade-Scale Snake's temperament was not good!

This lack of competition and fighting greatly affects the combat effectiveness of Spirit Beast.

For cultivators, the advantage of Spirit Beast lies in their ferocity, while for Spirit Beast, the advantage lies in their various Law Technique, magical Law Artifact Array.

In addition, there is a crushing intellectual advantage.

Of course, despite his worries, Ye Jingcheng had no good solution. The Jade-Scale Snake was something the Lineage stipulated could not be revealed, as Ye Haiping had told him during the exchange.

Otherwise, everyone would know that the Ye Family got a share of the profits from Jade Dragon Valley.

Moreover, it's not just the Jade-Scale Snake that's involved; the Jade Dragon Grass, which is over five hundred years old, is even more troublesome, as it can help Body Cultivator break through to the Purple Mansion.

Ye Jingcheng finally understood why his Lineage had taken such a risk in Jade Dragon Valley.

Because the Turtle Ancestor successfully shed its shell, recovered from its injuries, and even broke through to a higher level.

Jade Dragon Grass is also useful for breaking through to the Purple Mansion.

As long as Ye Haicheng Beast Communion Turtle Ancestor, and with the dual blessing of the Jade Dragon Grass, the Ye Family can quietly become a true Purple Mansion Lineage.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng was still happy at this moment.

Both the Golden-Scaled Beast and the Crimson Flame Fox have broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining and successfully advanced their bloodlines. They are estimated to have the potential to become third-tier great demons!

Once he Foundation Establishment, he can refine the second-tier Advancement Pill again!

Ye Jingcheng glanced at the Treasure Book, and sure enough, it contained a new Pill Formula. It was a little simpler than the one from the Crimson Flame Fox, but not by much.

The second-tier spirit medicine that need to be found are mostly very rare.

We can only pay more attention to this in the future.

At the same time, his status in the Lineage's Alchemy Hall has risen considerably, allowing him to entrust the Lineage with finding some of the easier-to-find spirit medicine.

The Ye Family's connections and resources are definitely far greater than his, especially as a large, imposing figure appeared in Ye Jingcheng's mind.

Ye Jingcheng also had the idea of visiting his uncle in the market.

However, the Spiritual Qi transmitted through his Beast-Link Mark is now stronger, making him more suited to rigorous cultivation.

The days that followed were much calmer.

It's still the same routine: refining pills, learning alchemy, feeding beasts, and cultivating.

Life was peaceful yet fulfilling.

On that very day, a ray of light flew into Soaring Cloud Peak from afar.

They headed straight towards the Ye Family's Stone Bamboo Grove.

As the sunset faded, Ye Jingteng's figure was revealed.

At this moment, his aura was fully unleashed, clearly indicating that he had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.

A Spirit Talisman shot towards the depths of the bamboo forest.

The next moment, there was a response.

Ye Xingqun also emerged from the bamboo forest.

"Uncle Xingqun, I've found another pot of fine wine. I hope Xingqun and Uncle Xingyu will taste it!" Ye Jingteng said.
