Heart of the Jade Ring; On the Eve of Departure

Once the dust settled, the Grotto-Heaven returned to its former tranquility.

Only sporadic roars still echoed in the small space.

Ye Jingcheng stepped forward and used his Treasure Radiance to heal all the Spirit Beast one by one. The sudden increase in their Divine Soul would inevitably put some pressure on their physical bodies.

Even Demon Beast can get injured.

At the same time, even when they went all out against the third-tier Purple Sun Demon Corpse, they were still burned or scratched by the Ziyang Demon Fire, and suffered injuries to varying degrees.

The one that was most seriously injured was the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon, which had fought a hard battle with the Purple Sun Demon Corpse.

Although it had broken through to the peak of the second tier, its spiritual power and scales were extremely extraordinary.

But that third-tier demonic fire was inherently effective against it.

Not to mention, there's also the difference in levels of understanding.

Ye Jingcheng thought that Jade-Scale Flood Dragon would slack off and joke around at this time, but in fact, when Jade-Scale Flood Dragon enraged or fighting, he was more courageous than anyone else.

Just like before, when Jade-Scale Flood Dragon swallowed Xu Qinghan.

This is why Ye Jingcheng didn't complain at all about Jade-Scale Flood Dragon's constant requests for Spirit Beast, because Jade-Scale Flood Dragon was a suitable match.

This time, Ye Jingcheng did not give the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon the Ren Water Pill to enhance its spiritual power, but instead gave it the Gold Tempering Pill to improve the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon's physical strength.

Its spiritual power now needs refinement rather than growth.

"Roar, meat!" After this increase in Divine Soul, the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon was actually able to roar out some syllables.

This was not a thought transmitted by the Divine Soul.

This surprised Ye Jingcheng as well.

He then walked up to the Flesh Ganoderma and removed Spirit Talisman Flesh Ganoderma covering it.

The Flesh Ganoderma absorbed Spiritual Qi and grew wildly.

The reason why the Flesh Ganoderma needs to be sealed with Spirit Talisman is that its growth is something even it cannot control.

It's like its instinct. Although Ye Jingcheng has made a contract with it, he can still control the Flesh Ganoderma's instincts for a short time, but he definitely can't do it for a long time.

It's better to seal it with Spirit Talisman, and then remove the Spirit Talisman when needed; this way, it will grow even faster.

As Ye Jingcheng watched the Flesh Ganoderma grow, he took out his knife and began to chop off Flesh Ganoderma, sending them to the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon.

The Spiritual Qi within the Grotto-Heaven was continuously drawn in and transformed into Flesh Ganoderma fungus.

Jade-Scale Flood Dragon didn't mind at all.

In its eyes, as long as it's big enough and plentiful, that's fine.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng stopped paying attention and began to heal the Crimson Flame Fox and other Spirit Beast.

He has contracted many Spirit Beasts, and now the Treasure Book has already reached eleven pages.

Having waited a few days, the Treasure Radiance is now at its peak.

"Chirp!" The Crimson Flame Fox became quite clingy. As soon as it saw Ye Jingcheng approaching, it transformed into a little Red Fox and landed on Ye Jingcheng's chest, then licked its crimson fur with its pink tongue.

Ye Jingcheng placed his hand on the fox's forehead, channeling his Treasure Radiance into it. At the same time, he took out the Fire Beast Pill and fed it to the Crimson Flame Fox.

The Crimson Flame Fox is still a little short of reaching the peak of the second tier.

She is also Ye Jingcheng's most important protégé going forward.

If the Crimson Flame Fox and the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon break through to the third rank, then if he prepares another Purple Mansion Purple Palace Jade Liquid, the probability of breaking through to the third rank will be extremely high. Not to mention, he also has the Five-Element Heavenly Palace Secret Art, which makes it easier to reach the Purple Mansion and will also be more powerful.

After taking good care of the Crimson Flame Fox and the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon, Ye Jingcheng started looking at the Four-Colored Cloud Deer.

At this moment, the latter had already broken through to the late stage of the second tier. The deer head was raised high, and the four-colored Spirit Patterns and cloud wings on its body also turned into spiritual light, constantly flowing.

Its black nose was even bigger, as Ye Jingcheng had just witnessed. The Four-Colored Cloud Deer's soul-absorbing ability was stronger and had a significant restraining effect on Body Cultivator. At the same time, its Wood Vine Technique was even faster.

For Ye Jingcheng, this also means that his Green Wood Spirit Seed is more powerful.

The Four-Colored Cloud Deer requires the Beast Blood and the essence of Spirit Plant.

At the same time, it is also the second largest producer of Flesh Ganoderma.

Animals like the Golden-Scaled Beast, Crimson Flame Fox, and Golden Falcon are not fond of the meat of the Flesh Ganoderma.

Only Jade-Scale Flood Dragon and Four-Colored Cloud Deer were truly enjoying themselves.

Ye Jingcheng sensed that the Wood Phase was almost catching up, and then he couldn't help but look at the Earth Phase, which was still breaking through. Seeing that the Golden-Scaled Beast seemed to have survived, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He focused his attention on the Soil-Turning Earthworm. Although it had not broken through to the second rank, it had already reached the peak of the first rank. It could produce first-rank peak Spirit Soil, and if it was brewed for a long time, it could even produce second-rank Spirit Soil.

However, this transformation would require a considerable amount of time within its body, and the breakthrough would be quick. Ye Jingcheng took out a second-tier Earth Attribute demon core from his Storage Bag.

Give it directly to the Soil-Turning Earthworm.

The growth of the Soil-Turning Earthworm will naturally enhance his earth element, and since it is Spirit Beast left behind by Ye Haiyun, he must treat it properly.

The Soil-Turning Earthworm swallowed a second-tier Earth Attribute demon core and then consumed several Spirit Nurturing Pill before burrowing into the soil.

It seems a breakthrough is not far off.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng stopped worrying about it and built a special insect chamber for the Soil-Turning Earthworm the soil underground.

It is engraved with Array to prevent other Spirit Beast from disturbing it.

The Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle also delighted Ye Jingcheng.

In addition to a significant increase in strength, their intelligence has also improved considerably.

Moreover, now that the Beast-Link Mark has been expanded, the Thunder Attribute spiritual power that Ye Jingcheng obtained from the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle has also increased, allowing him to cast lightning nets on his own.

If he obtains a Thunder Attribute- Thunder Attribute Law Artifact Law Artifact in the future, he will be able to unleash its full power.

After reading the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle, Ye Jingcheng turned to look at the Golden Falcon.

It wasn't that he didn't value Golden Falcon, but rather that Golden Falcon's injuries weren't serious at all, and it was the one that gained the most from this incident.

So at this moment it was very happy; in its eyes, it wasn't the last one, it was the most important one.

Its enormous roc claws could no longer land on Ye Jingcheng's shoulders; they could only land in front of Ye Jingcheng.

If it was as proud as it once was, it is now as humble.

From being arrogant to having a little arrogance, and then to not being arrogant at all.

It discovered that this was not a history of personality change, but a history of increasing strength.

Its current Divine Soul power is actually equivalent to the peak of the early stage of the third rank.

It should be noted that Golden Falcon had only broken through to the third rank a few days ago.

Ye Jingcheng symbolically infused Golden Falcon with some Treasure Radiance, Golden Falcon, whose injuries were not serious, recovered remarkably well.

At the same time, some Spirit Beast meat was also thrown to the Golden Falcon.

The Golden Falcon happily flew into the sky, circled once, and arrived above the pavilion. At this moment, its speed was even faster, and even without diving, it was already too fast for Ye Jingcheng to catch.

After feeding the Spirit Beast, Ye Jingcheng left the Grotto-Heaven. He headed out of the courtyard, Lineage he had just left the Beast-Link Tower and there were still some matters to take care of.

To his surprise, Ye Haicheng and Turtle Ancestor were both in his courtyard, with a Jade Ring Rat in front of them.

However, at this moment, the Jade Ring Rat's ears were emitting a tremendous spiritual light, its body was trembling, and its entire beast seemed to be experiencing considerable pain.

But surprisingly, she didn't hum a sound.

"Jingcheng, tell me honestly, how much soul power did you absorb?" Ye Haicheng asked Ye Jingcheng.

At this moment, he was exceptionally cautious.

Of course, he wasn't lamenting the depletion of his soul power, but rather that the scene before him had greatly surprised him.

This Jade Ring Rat actually possessed Divine Soul that had reached the peak of the first tier.

Therefore, the physical body wouldn't collapse so quickly; fortunately, Ye Haicheng gave the Jade Ring Rat a elixir.

"Young man, is your Earth element really that bad? Your Four-Aspect Heavenly Origin Art is about to hit a bottleneck, isn't it?" The Vast Azure Turtle beside him still couldn't help but ask.

After asking, he couldn't help but glance at Ye Haicheng again.

It's as if it's saying, "I won't ask you anymore, okay?"

"I absorbed quite a lot. I don't know how to describe it, but I feel that my physical body is quite suitable!" Ye Jingcheng said.

He couldn't possibly reveal the Treasure Book, but he himself possessed extraordinary abilities, so it was best to deny knowing it.

Ye Haicheng nodded as well. Of course, he didn't want to pry into the details, but rather, since they were both Five-Inch Beast-Link Mark, he found it somewhat unacceptable.

Ye Jingcheng also answered Turtle Ancestor again:

"Reporting to Turtle Ancestor, my Earth element is indeed somewhat lacking, but I am confident that I can make up for it now," Ye Jingcheng said confidently.

In his view, the Turtle Ancestor was showing concern for him and reminding him of something.

After all, the Four-Aspect Heavenly Origin Art excels in its fewer bottlenecks and its smooth and rapid cultivation.

The drawback is that if the four phases are unbalanced, it can easily become a bottleneck.

After answering, he also looked at the Jade Ring Rat.

He naturally felt a pang of self-reproach. He had forgotten that most of his Spirit Beast were inside the Grotto-Heaven, but the Jade Ring Rat was Grotto-Heaven.

The latter was also Beast Communion to him from a young age.

It was only because the Jade Ring Rat had no possibility of advancing that he subconsciously forgot about it.

However, he was also somewhat worried about the Jade Ring Rat, because the Jade Ring Rat could also transmit Divine Soul fluctuations to him.

But the Jade Ring Rat didn't pass it on to him either.

Instead, it endured it alone, just like before when it was threatened by the Golden-Scaled Beast, it never uttered a sound.

It seemed as if it was worried about causing trouble for Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng was still touched. The Jade Ring Rat was always so inconspicuous, but in fact, in the outside world, the most vigilant creature was definitely the Jade Ring Rat.

However, its talent is indeed not that great.

Ye Jingcheng pressed the Jade Ring Rat's ears, feeling the coolness and its trembling body, and slowly channeled the Treasure Radiance into it.

The trembling of the Jade Ring Rat finally subsided, and the light in its eyes gradually increased, like a tiny candle flame gradually gathering oil.

It squeaked.

"Don't worry, you won't lack Cultivation Resources in the future, even if you can't break through!" Ye Jingcheng said.

It was also his promise.

By this point, he certainly didn't lack the Cultivation Resources of the Jade Ring Rat.

Moreover, the Jade Ring Rat has been with him since the beginning of his Qi Refining Stage 4, making it the most senior Spirit Beast.

After healing the Jade Ring Rat, Ye Jingcheng placed it in the Grotto-Heaven.

"Jingcheng, the Beast-Link Tower has lost its soul power and will not be able to Beast Communion for three years. This mishap will serve as a good opportunity to perfect the test of the Beast-Link Tower," Ye Haicheng said.

Clearly, he had already taken the Beast-Link Tower into the Turtle Ancestor's Grotto-Heaven.

"Grandpa, where is that Teleportation Array now?" Ye Jingcheng asked.

"Don't worry, in Earth Dragon Valley, the Silver Moon Demon King suffered a great defeat last time, and the Earth Dragon Demon King was very pleased, showing even greater magnanimity towards our Ye Family."

"Of course, it's also possible that it knows it can't break through to the Fifth Stage and is waiting for our Ye Family!" Ye Haicheng couldn't help but smile.

Ye Jingcheng nodded upon hearing this.

This is indeed good news.

If the Teleportation Array were placed on Soaring Cloud Peak now, it could indeed be observed at any time, possibly by the Taiyi Sect or other Lineage.

After all, the spiritual seed observed by the Taiyi Sect was destroyed by Ye Jingcheng through the act of changing the water.

There's no guarantee that some cultivators won't come to inspect.

"Next, strive to break through to the Purple Mansion. I look forward to seeing an incomparably powerful Ye Family to show those clansmen in the Hidden Peak that it's not only through hiding one's identity that one can improve the strength of their Lineage!" Ye Haicheng said.

His words clearly showed his strong support for Ye Jingcheng.

It is not difficult to see from this that there are actually two Faction within the Ye Family.

One Faction has broken up into smaller groups, operating in hiding and guerrilla warfare, waiting for the moment to emerge and take flight.

The other Faction is Soaring Cloud Peak, which is just a facade. As long as it is well hidden, it may not arouse suspicion.

Especially after this incident.

After all, Ye Jingcheng himself is a spirit being, so his faster breakthrough is also due to the fact that spirit beings break through faster.

As long as they keep a low profile, things will generally develop well.

Most importantly, displaying these items in this way will allow the Ye Family's population to grow rapidly.

The biggest flaw of the Ye Family is not anything else, but that there are too few members.

As a large Lineage with a long history, other similar Purple Mansion Lineage generally have at least five or six hundred members, and many have over a thousand.

"Be extremely cautious about Jinghe's matter!" Ye Haicheng warned again at the end.

Ye Jinghe's betrayal of his Lineage and the infiltration of the Lineage are not trivial matters. They cannot be handled hastily, nor can they be treated in a lukewarm manner.

There needs to be a balance.

"Yes, Grandpa!" Ye Jingcheng said again.

After saying this, Ye Haicheng led Turtle Ancestor out of Ye Jingcheng's courtyard and gradually disappeared into the rain in the distance.

The rain had not stopped because of the Beast Communion's movements.

Ye Jingcheng decided to let the rain fall a little more.

When you feel uneasy, go and change the water in Soaring Cloud Lake again.

This would reduce their vigilance, and even if there were bribed members in the Ye Family, it would give them the impression that the Ye Family was changing the water not for any other reason, but for flood control and irrigation.

After finishing these tasks, Ye Jingcheng returned to his room and began cultivating on his own.

The mix of surprise and shock over the past few days has stirred up his State of Mind.

As the head of the family, this was not a good sign for him.

After I finish my seclusion and recuperate, I should head to Taichang Market to buy the Purple Palace Jade Liquid.

Of course, buying is just a pretext; participation is his real purpose.

He needs to let people know he's searching for the Purple Palace Jade Liquid so that his breakthrough won't seem abrupt.

At the same time, he also wanted to see his older brother and asked Ye Jingteng to help him collect third-tier Jade-Scale Pill.

Now that the most important dragon blood has been collected, all that's missing is the spirit medicine.
