Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book - Chapter 1100 - 777: Spirit Pill Plan and Unfavorable News
Deep within Long Elephant Valley, a giant golden stone rose prominently from a pool.
Atop the golden stone, a small golden tree, about a foot tall, grew rather withered.
Many of its leaves had fallen, and it looked somewhat decayed at the moment.
The pool water reflected a yellowish tint.
“Master, this tree has been like this since I returned, sick for ten years.” The Mammoth Demon King led Ye Jingcheng over, his face full of puzzlement.
Ye Jingcheng looked on with an unusual gaze.
For the Treasure Book within him had now lit up.
It also revealed three-layered Spiritual Light.
This indicated that the Golden Quenching Essence Fruit Tree could advance; it was a Wood Demon.
More importantly, the Pill Formula for the Golden Quenching Essence Fruit Tree seemed to start from the second layer.
If Ye Jingcheng’s guess was correct, this Golden Quenching Essence Fruit Tree likely already possessed Spiritual Wisdom, and might not have low intelligence.
For many Wood Demons in the wild, not all were willing to bear fruit.
After all, bearing fruit would cost a lot of spirit, although the True Essence could be replenished, it would slow the cultivation speed.
For Wood Demons, it was naturally best not to bear fruit.
Crucially, even if it didn’t bear fruit now, the Mammoth Demon King wouldn’t know.
As long as it bore fruit once every forty or fifty years, the Mammoth Demon King would still protect it in Long Elephant Valley.
Thus, it could enjoy the Spirit Vein and Spirit Pool within Demon Valley.
“Mammoth, maybe if you scare it, it will bear fruit!” Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but laugh.
Upon hearing this, the Mammoth Demon King was stunned, obviously not expecting such an answer.
But his straightforward nature led him to follow through.
He waved his hand, instantly summoning two massive golden tusks in the void.
They blasted towards the Golden Quenching Essence Fruit Tree.
Without intervention, the tusks could ravage the rocks!
However, the golden light barely reached mid-air when several giant golden stones emerged from the pool, smashing into the tusks.
Bang!
The Mammoth Demon King had evidently not used much True Essence, and under the violent collision, the tusks dissolved into yellow Spiritual Light, the golden stones fell back into the pool, splashing water everywhere.
Meanwhile, the Golden Quenching Essence Fruit Tree began to gather a face, and even began to bloom with Spirit Flowers.
Bear in mind, summer had passed by now.
Blooming again was akin to iron tree flowering, far too deliberate.
“Has this Golden Quenching Essence Fruit truly become a demon?” The Mammoth Demon King couldn’t help but express surprise.
“Indeed!” Ye Jingcheng nodded, then added.
“Mammoth, I’ll take this Wood Demon, give your race three Golden Quenching Essence Fruits every ten years. Currently, it’s Tier Three Lower-grade Spirit Fruit, but in the future, it might produce Tier Three Middle or Tier Three High-grade Spirit Fruit!”
At this moment, Ye Jingcheng’s tone was half negotiation, half command.
“Certainly, Master. If not for you, this king wouldn’t have realized this tiny tree dared to trick me!” The Mammoth Demon King was still a bit annoyed.
So he wasn’t too fixated on the Golden Quenching Essence Fruit Tree.
Though the tree was highly useful to the Mammoth Race, Ye Jingcheng promised it might reach Tier Five someday.
It was unconcerned about that single tree.
Moreover, it understood that without Ye Jingcheng, it would have truly been deceived by the Primordial Fruit Wood Demon.
Ye Jingcheng didn’t hesitate, taking out the Golden Glaze Sword, simultaneously releasing Stone Spirit Grotto Heaven, opening a void portal.
The golden Sword Light suffused with dazzling Sword Aura, accompanied by deep killing intent.
“Will you enter yourself, or shall I invite you in?” Ye Jingcheng spoke directly.
The Golden Quenching Essence Fruit Tree trembled upon hearing this, clearly intelligent, and after hesitating for a moment.
Fierce golden light erupted, and the body of the Primordial Fruit Tree rose from the ground, flying towards the Grotto Heaven.
Such Wood Demons, when transplanted, are indeed far more convenient than regular Spirit Plants.
Ye Jingcheng did not immediately use a Blood Contract, nor did he have the Divine Soul to host.
Instead, he let the Golden Quenching Essence Fruit Tree enter the Grotto Heaven, so even without the Blood Contract, the Peach Wood Wood Demon and Stone Spirit had myriad ways to make the Golden Quenching Essence Fruit Tree bear Spirit Fruits.
He sensed earlier that the Wood Demon’s power was only about Early Stage of Third Rank, and without special means, it might not withstand Great Demons of the Early Third Rank.
Thus he wasn’t worried about the Golden Quenching Essence Fruit Wood Demon causing trouble.
After dealing with the Golden Quenching Essence Fruit Tree, Ye Jingcheng gazed around Long Elephant Valley and collected some mature Spiritual Medicine.
Some Spiritual Medicine was of little use to these Mammoths and would be wasted if left.
Instead, it was better if he transplanted or harvested them.
The Mammoth Demon King was delighted and grateful for the many Spirit Pills left by Ye Jingcheng.
Because the effects of Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Pills are incomparable, and the Demon Race is naturally not skilled in Alchemy and Artifact Refining.
Even though they knew that the Spiritual Medicine Ye Jingcheng took and the Spirit Pills he left didn’t match, they were still grateful.
Of course, unbeknownst to them, Ye Jingcheng left the Spirit Pills to ensure that future Ye Family members could more effectively contract these Great Demons.
These Great Demons possessed considerable Spiritual Wisdom, and once they were accustomed to Spirit Pills, future cultivators of the Ye Family could contract them more easily.
After all, setting an example with the Mammoth Demon King.
Even for the Golden Quenching Essence Fruit, Ye Jingcheng could prioritize supplying the Mammoth Mammoths of Desert Sea.
As they too were under the Mammoth Demon King’s command.
Once everything was dealt with, Ye Jingcheng returned to the Underground Palace to test the Teleportation Array.
After testing it once with the Mountain-devouring Rat, the Spiritual Light lit up again in no time.
Two people quickly appeared on the Teleportation Array.
These two were Ye Xueliang and Ye Haiyu.
The former is a Spirit Insect Master, while the latter is an Array Master. Both have broken through to the Purple Mansion stage, and now is the time to consolidate their cultivation and practice secret techniques, so they can be responsible for guarding the Teleportation Array here.
“Jingcheng, where is this?”
“Uncle Ancestor, Aunt, this is Long Elephant Valley, the territory of the Mammoth Demon King, currently the safest teleportation location!” Ye Jingcheng said with a bow.
Ye Xueliang and Ye Haiyu immediately nodded.
They were previously at the Hidden Peak of the Taihang Mountain Range, so they were naturally aware of the location of Long Elephant Valley. As soon as they emerged, one was arranging arrays, and the other released the Black Earth Scorpions, starting to patrol Long Elephant Valley and monitor the surrounding area.
The procedure was more familiar than Ye Jingcheng, so there was no need for Ye Jingcheng to mention any precautions.
Before leaving, they handed Ye Jingcheng a Storage Bag.
Inside were some treasures that Ye Haicheng wanted Ye Jingcheng to release at the auction.
Ye Jingcheng took a glance and saw that, besides the regular spirit medicines, there were also two portions of Earthly Fiend Qi and Celestial Spirit Qi.
Evidently, Ye Haicheng intended for Ye Jingcheng to make the auction more lively.
Ye Jingcheng paused and then nodded.
He naturally understood what Ye Haicheng meant. Clearly, there was some concern that the Ye Family in the Central Domain might encounter obstacles, or even let the wolf into the house.
Hence, he wanted the Ye Family to develop better on Lingyun Peak.
To the elder cultivators, they indeed preferred to be more cautious.
Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng also bade farewell to Ye Xueliang and Ye Haiyu and headed towards Chixia Ridge.
Previously, he hadn’t planned on attending the auction. After handing the Longevity Peach to Master Mo Dao, he intended to head to the Central Domain.
But now that the Ye Family had provided more treasures, and the quality of the auction had increased, Ye Jingcheng had to station himself secretly.
Otherwise, if the treasures were stolen, it would be a disgrace to the entire Ye Family.
Reviving the Taihang Market would undoubtedly become a joke.
And the reason for going to Chixia Ridge.
Firstly, the Three-eyed Demon King and Thunder Roc Demon King had been let loose for too long and needed some attention.
Secondly, he wanted to see what treasures were left in the territories of the two Great Demon Kings.
The demon race’s utilization of treasures was too low, just like the Mammoth Demon King. Many spiritual medicines in Elephant Valley were actually wasted.
Some spiritual medicines didn’t even match their attributes; even if consumed, there wouldn’t be much reaction beyond feeling bloated.
At the same time, Ye Jingcheng could go to the territories of the two Great Demon Kings and start using spirit pills to gradually change these great demons’ minds!
…
Another few days passed.
Lingyun Peak, Ye Jingcheng’s courtyard, Ye Jingcheng opened his eyes.
He couldn’t help but murmur:
“There really are quite a few spiritual medicines in these demon king territories. It seems it’s time to establish an exchange system within the demon race in the future!”
Ye Jingcheng had visited Chixia Ridge and Cloud Lion Ridge. Both demon king territories had quite a few spiritual medicines. The former had many Blood Flame Crystals, while the latter had numerous Red Lion Flowers.
The Red Lion Flower is also an extremely good fire attribute spiritual medicine. Those over two hundred years old could even be considered tier four spiritual medicine.
Even those that are not old enough are considered tier three spiritual medicine.
If placed in the Market, each plant would require at least ten thousand spirit stones.
But Ye Jingcheng exchanged them using spirit pills, requiring only some top-grade tier two Spirit Cultivation Pills.
Relatively speaking, it’s extremely cost-effective.
After all, the demon race isn’t aware of the difference between spirit pills and spirit medicines.
In addition, the spirit beasts of the Ye Family were also being cultivated, so spirit pills weren’t wasted, making it a huge gain for the Ye Family.
After all, the Ye Family wouldn’t dare to occupy these demon king territories now, especially after learning that there was a Demon Saint around.
Ye Jingcheng was much more cautious when entering and exiting the Taihang Mountain Range.
Ye Jingcheng pondered for a moment, but then saw a wave of spiritual aura outside the house.
It was undoubtedly a jade talisman flying over, transmitted by Ye Jingyu.
Apparently, today was the day of the appointment with Master Mo Dao.
The Longevity Spiritual Peach must be delivered.
Previously, Ye Jingyu had used Ye Jingcheng’s identity to obtain it, and now that Ye Jingcheng was present, it was naturally better for him to go.
After checking it, Ye Jingcheng headed towards that mountain range from before.
Soon, Ye Jingcheng entered and saw Master Mo Dao.
Master Mo Dao, upon seeing Ye Jingcheng approach, cast a curious glance.
He felt that today’s Ye Jingcheng seemed a little different.
“Elder Mo Dao, the Spiritual Peach has matured. You can have it now!” Ye Jingcheng gestured with his hands, also producing a jade box.
Inside the jade box were two Longevity Spiritual Peaches.
Master Mo Dao took the Spiritual Peach, gave it a glance, and nodded.
“Not bad, indeed the Longevity Spiritual Peach!”
In fact, he thought it was even more vibrant than expected, with more abundant spiritual energy!
Master Mo Dao then added:
“However, I should warn you, be careful at the auction. Someone may have ill intentions towards you!”
