Beast-Communicating Spirit Runes; Changes in Jinghe

Inside the Ancestral Shrine, Ye Jingcheng lit several more incense sticks, showing utmost piety towards the inscribed memorial tablets.

After all, it meant that the Ye Family had gained another member with two Five-Inch Beast-Link Mark.

After the three incense sticks were lit, Ye Jingcheng looked at Ye Jinghu again.

Upon seeing this, the latter immediately followed suit, picking up three incense sticks and lighting them as well.

He then kowtowed three times.

"Yu Family's Beast-Link Mark patterns, take a look at this Jade Slip, and destroy it after you've read it." Ye Jingcheng took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Ye Jinghu, letting him learn everything about the Beast-Link Mark and how to Beast Communion.

Ye Jinghu nodded excitedly, feeling the trust his Lineage placed in him.

He had never heard of the Beast-Link Mark before, but everything he had experienced today felt like a dream.

Ye Jinghu spent a full thirty breaths reading the Jade Slip.

It wasn't that he was slow at reading; rather, the information inside truly shocked him.

"Patriarch, is our Ye Family really just Foundation Establishment Lineage?" Ye Jinghu asked a question that even Ye Jingcheng found somewhat unexpected.

This was a very clever question; Ye Jinghu was clearly thinking about the mortals who had been lost from the Ye Family.

Asking this question is also asking whether the Clan Elder and mortals of the Ye Family are still alive.

Looking at the robust and spirited Ye Jinghu in front of him, Ye Jingcheng was surprised to find that he had such a subtle and indirect side. For a moment, he was reminded of his own past self, and he smiled slightly.

He shook his head, which served as his answer.

This will also help to calm Ye Jinghu's anger.

Ye Jinghu's eyes instantly lit up with inspiration.

He excitedly crushed the Jade Slip, letting the jade powder fall into his palm. He ground it carefully for a while before mixing it with incense ash.

"By the way, Jinghu, write down all your feelings and let me see them," Ye Jingcheng suddenly said.

He was also quite surprised that Ye Jinghu had so many Beast-Link Mark. Unlike Ye Xingliu and the others, he was still full of curiosity about the Beast-Link Tower.

There's a saying that Spirit Root are born and nurtured by nature, but he doesn't think so about the Beast-Link Tower.

It might be related to the type of Beast Soul. After all, the Ye Family has very few Thunder Spirit Root, so there are likely many Beast Soul energies with Thunder Attribute.

Moreover, everyone's approach to the Beast-Link Mark is different, and there may be variations.

The Beast-Link Tower was too mysterious to the Ye Family, and the Ye Family's protective measures against it were too extensive, making the mysterious Beast-Link Tower even more aloof and unapproachable.

However, Ye Jingcheng has always had a spirit of inquiry. He brought his unique ideas, just like alchemy. His summary Jade Slip and his initiative have brought him considerable benefits, at least for now.

Therefore, Ye Jingcheng also wanted to test the Beast-Link Tower, which might allow him to maximize the benefits of his second Soul Infusion.

Ye Jinghu dared not be negligent. Knowing the importance of the Beast-Link Mark, he now obeyed Ye Jingcheng's every word.

He dared not leave out even the slightest detail in the Jade Slip, and checked it three times, fearing that he might have misremembered something due to his drowsiness.

After handing the Jade Slip to Ye Jingcheng, all he could think about was going back to study it carefully, then Beast Communion to test its effects.

Ye Jingcheng looked at the Jade Slip and found that Ye Jinghu was indeed different. His idea of condensing lightning patterns was indeed good and novel.

After reading the Jade Slip, Ye Jingcheng took out a Spirit Beast bag.

"These four Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle are for you too. Remember to raise them carefully," Ye Jingcheng said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jinghu was overjoyed, as he had naturally heard of the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle.

Moreover, this Spirit Insect is a perfect match for his spiritual Cultivation Method; it couldn't be more suitable for him.

"Thank you very much, Patriarch!" Ye Jinghu expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

"No need for thanks so soon, contribution points are still needed." Ye Jingcheng retrieved Ye Jinghu's Lineage Token and activated the hidden Array inside the token with the Golden Dragon Token.

In this way, Ye Jinghu will be able to see many of the Ye Family's Spirit Beast, including Spirit Beast Cubs and inherited Spirit Beast.

Each of these late-stage Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle requires 800 contribution points to acquire, and this is only Ye Jingcheng deliberately lowered the price.

The Ye Family's philosophy has always been that the Lineage provides guidance, but self-cultivation depends on oneself.

Because the Ye Family needs to cultivate numerous Spirit Beasts, and the higher the cultivation level, the greater the resources required, the Ye Family cannot provide them for free like other Lineage.

Even the Pill Formula only bestowed by the Lineage after one has broken through to a certain realm.

Ye Jinghu was naturally not exempt either.

If you don't have that many contribution points, you either need to enter the Taihang Mountain Range to participate in the extermination of demons, or you need to hone your skills.

This is why the Ye Family has such a high proportion of four master craftsmen.

"Patriarch, of course!" Ye Jinghu had no complaints whatsoever. Even though he still didn't have enough contribution points and owed thousands more, he was overjoyed at the moment.

With the four Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle, his safety when hunting demons in the Taihang Mountain Range will be greatly increased.

Ye Jinghu descended the mountain with a sense of surprise and a dreamlike feeling.

Ye Jingcheng then picked up the communication talisman again and sent a message to Ye Jingting.

He landed in front of the sandalwood again and burned it extremely brightly.

Compared to others, Ye Jingting has a greater need for the Beast-Link Mark because he also possesses four Spirit Root.

The reason Ye Jingting was able to achieve such rapid progress in the early stages was because she consumed a lot of pills.

His talent for Spirit Talisman is indeed quite good, but his excessive consumption of pills and the fact that his cultivation Cultivation Method is also the kind that achieves rapid results quickly.

In fact, there are considerable hidden dangers.

But Ye Jingting is also very competitive.

As the thick smoke transformed into a dragon of smoke and rose into the air, the area in front of the Ancestral Shrine appeared exceptionally sacred and dignified.

Ye Jingting's figure quickly appeared in the distance.

Her steps were small, but her eyes were full of anticipation.

Although she didn't understand what this telepathic communication was, she had already undergone a test.

She saw Ye Jingcheng burning sandalwood incense, watching the smoke rise into the sky above Soaring Cloud Peak.

"Jingting greets the head of the family." Ye Jingting waved to Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng nodded and waved for him to sit in the chair in front of the sandalwood incense burner.

However, before she even got close, she collapsed to the ground. Ye Jingting was clearly inferior to Ye Jinghu in resisting illusions.

Ye Jingcheng activated the Golden Dragon Token once more.

He discovered that Ye Jingting and Ye Jinghu were not much different, but Ye Jingting was more resilient. She put in a lot of effort so as not to fall behind the other members of her tribe.

She has a very clear understanding of her own position.

She didn't seek steady growth; she only wanted to go as far as she could, so she didn't give up any opportunity to increase her cultivation.

Even in Ye Jingcheng's view, her outstanding talent in Spirit Talisman still had a large element of hard work.

After asking a few common questions, Ye Jingcheng led Ye Jingting into the Ancestral Shrine again.

The ritual of offering incense and praying continues, Beast-Link Tower is activated.

Ye Jingcheng also informed Ye Jingting in advance to condense the Technique Method Spirit Patterns that she was most proficient in.

However, as time passed, the Beast Communion ended.

Ye Jingting stood up nervously, rolled up her sleeves, revealing two three-inch Beast-Link Mark and two one-inch Beast-Link Mark.

Just one inch off and there's Five-Inch Beast-Link Mark.

"Not bad!" Ye Jingcheng nodded, and he also took out a Jade Slip.

"Destroy it after you've finished reading it." Ye Jingting didn't ask any further questions.

She was more insecure than the others, perhaps because she was born out of wedlock in the town.

"Patriarch, I've finished reading it. Thank you, Patriarch!" Ye Jingting was equally shocked after reading it. She felt that her path to immortality had become a little wider.

Naturally, I was incredibly excited.

"Make a record of your Beast Communion as well," Ye Jingcheng instructed Ye Jingting to continue the recording process.

After it was all done, Ye Jingting was given the Lineage Token to unlock, allowing her to see many of the Lineage's exchangeable treasures.

These treasures are not open to the public in the Ye Family's Treasure Pavilion.

After Ye Jingting left, Ye Jingcheng remained silent for a moment. Because there were too few cases, he didn't know if it was due to Ye Jingting's talent or the lack of effect of condensing Spirit Patterns.

He simply sent another telepathic message, signaling Ye Jinghe to come over.

Unlike the previous two, Ye Jinghe was older. He was wearing a long robe and his face was much more composed, without that kind of heartfelt excitement.

Ye Jingcheng was not surprised by the Ye Family's behavior; they had experienced so much over the years, which had tempered them considerably.

This is why he is confident that the Ye Family will become even stronger in the future, even without Hidden Peak.

"Master of the family," Ye Jinghe said, bowing respectfully.

"This is Qingyutan. The Lineage has a task for you." Ye Jingcheng said calmly, waving his hand for Ye Jinghe to take it.

After Ye Jinghe took it, he slumped into the chair.

The Golden Dragon Token's Soul-Seizing ability activated as usual.

The drifting spiritual light began to spread, and scenes unfolded before Ye Jingcheng.

In the scene Ye Jinghe has already reached the peak; he is dressed in the robes of True Lord, looking quite majestic.

To Ye Jingcheng's surprise, he didn't see any trace of the Ye Family.

His spiritual power was depleted once again, and the golden light of the Golden Dragon Token intensified, making its soul-capturing power even stronger.

As the captivating spiritual light descended, the scene changed again.

It was a quiet night, everything was still, except for the gentle breeze rustling the bamboo leaves.

Ye Jinghe stood facing a cultivator in a Spirit-Isolating Robe; their conversation was unclear, but that no longer mattered.

This cultivator in the Spirit-Isolating Robe is not a member of the Ye Family, which means that Ye Jinghe has other intentions.

"Who are you?" Ye Jingcheng's voice echoed dreamily in Ye Jinghe's mind once again.

"Ye Jinghe."

"What brought you up to Soaring Cloud Peak this time?"

"For the Foundation Establishment, you only need to sell one of the Ye Family's secrets to get one Foundation Establishment," Ye Jinghe replied as before.

Ye Jingcheng's expression also turned cold, and his eyes became terrifyingly bright.

Ye Jinghe's body trembled involuntarily, as if he could already feel Ye Jingcheng's cold and indifferent gaze.

Ye Jingcheng did not ask any further questions.

Instead, he took out a Dust-Forgetting Pill Ye Jinghe swallow it.

While direct action would be better, identifying the mastermind behind it is more important than direct action.

Ye Jinghe has Lineage blood, so the other party couldn't possibly be a spy; they could only have been bribed.

Moreover, Ye Jinghe's death further proves that there may be problems in the Ye Family.

This will attract more prying eyes.

After Ye Jingcheng took the Dust-Forgetting Pill, he brought Ye Jinghe back to his courtyard and placed an observation Spirit Talisman there.

At the same time, some colorless and odorless nectar was placed on Ye Jinghe's body.

After finishing these tasks, he headed towards the Council Hall, and this time, he used telepathy again.

The chosen people to transmit the message were all the hall masters and Clan Elder of the Ye Family who were at least at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

The candidates arrived quickly. Ye Jingcheng didn't hide anything; Ye Jinghe's actions couldn't be supervised by him alone, but by everyone.

At the same time, he wanted to innovate and improve upon the Lineage's first test.

"Patriarch, I recommended Jinghe, and I am willing to accept the punishment!" Ye Xingqun was filled with shame and resentment.

He never expected that Ye Jinghe could be bribed.

At the same time, he was terrified. Fortunately, the Ye Family discovered it in time. If he had had any ideas after the awakening of the Beast-Link Mark.

The Ye Family regretted it too late.

It's important to understand that while the Lineage's restrictive formations are powerful, nothing can be more effective than something controlled by Array master.

In the Ye Family's clan school, loyalty to the Yu Family is the first lesson. If someone can be so easily deceived by a Foundation Establishment, their future is unimaginable if they are not dealt with.

"There's no need for punishment. From today onwards, the Lineage rules will be changed. Lineage trials must be jointly determined by at least three hall masters, and if possible, some coercion and inducement will be added!" Ye Jingcheng said.

This rule may have caused resentment among many members of the Ye Family.

But it is indeed necessary.

If someone can be bribed, it means they might be bribed in the Beast Communion as well.

Just like before, the test for Ye Jingcheng was whether or not he would treat those Spirit Beasts.

After all, back then, the Ye Family couldn't have had so many incomplete Spirit Beast arrive at the Spirit Beast shop.

Ye Jingcheng had actually thought about it for a long time.

But in reality, there isn't much assessment of Lineage loyalty.

Even if he doesn't treat her, does that mean he doesn't care about the Ye Family anymore?

In his view, this is naturally one-sided.

Furthermore, having one person develop the assessment methods is somewhat simplistic.

Only through careful consideration could he ensure the Ye Family's test was more accurate.

"Uncle Xingqun, now that you've stepped down, it's perfect that you take over Jinghe's affairs. You're more suited for this than I am!" Ye Jingcheng said, looking at Ye Xingqun.

Ye Xingqun is an insect cultivator, and his methods are far superior to Ye Jingcheng's.

It couldn't be more perfect.

Moreover, Ye Xingqun had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment.

It's not good to show your face in other aspects, so it's perfect for secretly following them.

"Okay!" Ye Xingqun nodded.
